NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION
Absolute
Shares Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 7, 2013 and is authorized to have
multiple segregated series or portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of the following four separate investment portfolios (each, a “Fund”
or, individually and, together, the “Funds”):
WBI
BullBear Value 3000 ETF
WBI
BullBear Yield 3000 ETF
WBI
BullBear Quality 3000 ETF
WBI
Power Factor® High Dividend ETF
Each
Fund is classified as diversified for purposes of the 1940 Act.
The
end of the reporting period for the Funds is December 31, 2025, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal
period from July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025 for all funds (the “current fiscal period”).
NOTE
2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The financial statements are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are stated in U.S.
dollars. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance for the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The
preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amount of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at December 31, 2025. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
|
A.
|
Valuation.
All equity securities, including domestic common stocks, preferred stocks, exchange traded funds and exchange traded notes, that are traded
on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Select Market and Nasdaq Capital Market (collectively
“Nasdaq”) are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities
traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or
Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices is used. All equity securities that
are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security
does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price is used. |
Investments
in mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Shares
in privately offered liquidity funds are valued at their NAV per share.
Short-term
securities that have maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued
interest, approximates fair value.
Securities
for which quotations are not readily available are valued by the Adviser, whom the Board of Trustees designed as the valuation designee
pursuant to valuation procedures adopted by the Board (the “Valuation Procedures”) and information it receives from the
Sub-Advisor and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services”). When a security is “fair valued”, consideration
is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Valuation
Procedures. The use of fair value pricing by the Funds may cause the NAV of their shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would
be calculated without regard to such considerations.

As
described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes
a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuations methods. The three levels of inputs are:
|
Level 1 –
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. |
|
Level 2 –
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted
prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk,
yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
|
Level 3 –
|
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability,
to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; including the Funds’ Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in
determining the fair value of investments. The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by
a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace,
the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs
that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree
of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. |
The
inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes,
the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The
following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of the end of the current fiscal period:

|
B.
|
Certain Risks.
Some risks apply to all Funds, while others are specific to the investment strategy of certain Funds. Each Fund may be subject to other
risks in addition to these identified risks. This section discusses certain common principal risks encountered by the Funds. The shares
of the Funds are referred to herein as “Fund Shares” or “Shares”. |
ETF
and Other Investment Companies Risk – When a Fund invests in another ETF or other investment company
(e.g., mutual fund, closed-end fund, business development company), it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of such
investment company’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF or other
investment company generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities and other assets held by the ETF or other investment
company. A Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs and other exchange-listed investment companies. Additionally, a
Fund will be indirectly exposed to the risks of the portfolio assets held by an ETF or other investment company, including but not limited
to those of ETNs, equity options, derivatives, currencies, index, leverage, and replication management.
Market
Risk – Either the stock market as a whole or the value of a Fund asset or an investment held by
an exchange-traded product (“ETP”) in which a Fund invests may go down, resulting in a decrease in the NAV of the Fund or
its Shares or a decrease in the market price of the Shares.
Equity
Securities Risk – Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile
increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. If a Fund or an ETP holds common stock
equivalents of any given issuer, the Fund or ETP will generally be exposed to greater risk than if the Fund or ETP held preferred stocks
and debt obligations of such issuer.
Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities Risk – Foreign investments may carry risks associated with investing
outside the United States, such as currency fluctuation, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information,
or unfavorable political or legal developments. Foreign securities can be more volatile than domestic (U.S.) securities. Securities markets
of other countries are generally smaller

Shares Trust
Notes

than
U.S. securities markets. Many foreign securities may also be less liquid than U.S. securities, which could affect the Funds’ investments.
Investments in emerging markets may have more risk because the markets are less developed and less liquid as well as being subject to
increased economic, political, regulatory, or other uncertainties. Also, as foreign and emerging markets decline, investors tend to exit
these markets in unison.
Fluctuation
of Net Asset Value – The NAV of the Shares will fluctuate with changes in market value of the Funds’
holdings.
Shares
are Not Individually Redeemable – Shares are only redeemable by the Funds at NAV if they are tendered
in large blocks known as “Creation Units” which are expected to be worth in excess of $1 million each. Only Authorized
Participants (“APs”) may engage in such creation and redemption transactions directly with the Funds. Individual Shares may
be sold on a stock exchange at their current market prices, which may be less, more, or equal to their NAV. There can be no assurance
that an active trading market will be maintained for the Shares.
|
C.
|
Federal Income
Taxes. The Funds’ policy is to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains
to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds plan to file U.S. Federal and various state and local
tax returns. |
Each
Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management
has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded
related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts
of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and
tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.
|
D.
|
Security Transactions
and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales
of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign
taxes withheld at source. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for
in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted
using the effective interest method over the lives of the respective debt instruments. |
|
E.
|
Distributions
to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are declared and paid by WBI BullBear Value 3000 ETF,
WBI BullBear Quality 3000 ETF, and WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF, on a quarterly basis. A distribution to shareholders
from net investment income is declared and paid by WBI BullBear Yield 3000 ETF on a monthly basis. Distributions from net realized gains
on securities are normally declared and paid by all Funds on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
|
F.
|
Share Valuation.
The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other
assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to
the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE ARCA, Inc., the exchange where the Funds’
shares are listed, is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to the Fund’s NAV per
share. |
|
G.
|
Guarantees
and Indemnifications. The Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of
the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts with service
providers that contain general indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this
would involve future claims that may be against the Fund that have not yet occurred. |

Expenses.
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses which are attributable to the Fund and other
investment companies advised by the Adviser are allocated among the respective investment companies, including the Fund, based either
upon relative average net assets or evenly among the Funds.

|
I.
|
Subsequent
Events. In preparing these financial statements, the Advisor has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or
disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There were no events or transactions that occurred during
the period subsequent December 31, 2025 that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements. |

New Accounting

Segment reporting.
The Funds operates through a single operating and reporting segment to achieve its investment objective as reflected in the Funds’
prospectus. The Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) are the Funds’ president, chief financial officer, and senior
management at the Investment Manager. The CODM assesses the performance and makes operating decisions for the Funds primarily based on
the Funds’ changes in net assets resulting from operations. In addition to other factors and metrics, the CODM utilizes the Funds’
net assets, total return, and ratios of net and gross expenses to average net assets as key metrics in reviewing the performance of the
Funds. As the Funds’ operations comprise a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement
of Assets and Liabilities as “Total assets” and the significant segment expenses are listed on the Statement of Operations.

NOTE
3 – MANAGEMENT FEE
Pursuant
to an investment advisory agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Advisor, the
Advisor serves as the investment advisor, makes investment decisions for each Fund, and manages the investment portfolios of the Funds,
subject to the supervision of and policies of the Board. Under the Advisory Agreement for the Funds the Advisor may retain an investment
sub-advisor for the Funds, subject to approval by the Board and Fund shareholders. Under a sub-advisory agreement, (“Sub-Advisory
Agreement”) the Sub-Advisor serves as the investment sub-advisor and is responsible for the day to day management of the Funds,
subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board. For the services the Sub-Advisor provides to each Fund, the Sub-Advisor receives
a fee that is equal to 0.85% per year of the average daily net assets (calculated daily and paid monthly) of WBI BullBear Value 3000
ETF, WBI BullBear Yield 3000 ETF, and WBI BullBear Quality 3000 ETF. For the services the Sub-Adviser provides to WBI Power Factor®
High Dividend ETF, the Sub-Advisor receives a fee that is equal to 0.55% per year of average daily net assets, which is calculated daily
and paid monthly. The Advisor is paid 0.04% of each Fund’s average daily net assets (calculated daily and paid monthly) from the
management fees collected by the Sub-Advisor.
NOTE
4 – PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE
The
Sub-Advisor utilized non-affiliated broker dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Funds. Currently, these non-affiliated broker
dealers charge an explicit commission for these transactions, a portion of which is designated towards “soft dollar credits”
that can be used to provide the Sub-Advisor with certain research and brokerage services as described in the safe harbor provisions under
Section 28(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. During this period, the Funds paid $0.025 per share in explicit commission
to these non-affiliated broker dealers for their execution services, of which $0.0125 per share was designated by the non-affiliated broker
dealers to a pool of soft dollar credits

for
use by the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor participates in commission sharing arrangements (“CSAs”) that are consistent with
the requirements of Section 28(e). Research and brokerage services furnished through CSAs may be used by the Sub-Advisor in servicing
any or all of the firm’s clients and will be used for client accounts other than those that pay commissions to the broker-dealer
providing the research or brokerage services.
NOTE
5 – EXPENSE LIMITATION AND REIMBURSEMENT
The
Sub-Advisor had entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement (an “Agreement”) with the Trust to waive the fees and reimburse
expenses of each Fund until at least October 31, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”) so that the total operating expenses (exclusive
of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees, dividend payments on short sales, other expenditures which are capitalized
in accordance with U.S. GAAP, other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, and amounts,
if any, payable pursuant to a plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940) and organizational
costs (the “Operating Expenses”) of WBI Power FactorR High Dividend ETF is limited to 1.00% and each of the remaining Funds
is limited to 1.70% of average net assets (the “Expense Cap”). The Sub-Advisor may discontinue its obligations under the Agreements
at any time in its sole discretion after the Expiration Date. The Funds have agreed to repay the amounts borne by the Sub-Advisor under
the Agreements within the three year period after the Sub-Advisor bears the expense, when and if requested by the Sub-Advisor, to the
extent the Operating Expenses of the Funds are less than the lower of the Expense Cap and any expense limitation agreement then in effect
with respect to the Operating Expenses. There payment may not raise the level of Operating Expenses of the Funds in the month of repayment
to exceed the Expense Cap.
The
following table shows the remaining waived and/or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery during the current fiscal period.

NOTE
6 – COMPLIANCE AND ADMINISTRATION SERVICING AGREEMENTS
The
Trust has entered into an agreement with Vigilant Distributors, LLC (“Vigilant”), whereby Vigilant agrees to provide a Chief
Compliance Officer (“CCO”), as described in Rule 38a-1 of the 1940 Act.
U.S.
Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (the “Administrator”) serves as the independent
administrator and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Custodian”) serves as the custodian to the Funds. Under the Fund Administration
Servicing, Fund Accounting Servicing, and Transfer Agent Servicing Agreements, the Administrator is responsible for keeping financial
books and records of the Funds and generally managing the administrative affairs and transfer agency services.
NOTE
7 – SECURITIES LENDING
The
Funds may lend up to 331∕3% of the value of the securities in their portfolios to
brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered
by U.S Bank N.A. (“the Custodian” and “Securities Lending Agent”). The securities lending agreement requires that
loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan,
plus accrued interest, except in the case of loans of foreign securities which are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars and shall be
collateralized in the amount equal to 105% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan plus

accrued
interest. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a
number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends
on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the fair value of securities loaned that may occur during the term
of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall
the securities from the borrower on demand. During the current fiscal period, Funds had loaned securities that were collateralized by
cash equivalents. The cash collateral is invested by the Custodian in accordance with approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines
require the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations; however, such investments are
subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest
to support the costs associated with securities lending. A Fund could also experience delays in recovering its securities and possible
loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Fund is indemnified from this risk by contract
with the Securities Lending Agent.
At
period end, the value of the securities on loan and payable for collateral due to broker were as follows:

Reclassifications
are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or
available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. GAAP require that certain components of net assets be
adjusted to reflect the permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets
or net asset values per share. The primary difference causing such reclassification is due to redemptions in-kind. At June 30, 2025, as
a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of assets and liabilities.

10 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS
The
Funds each currently offer one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. The
Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of each Fund have equal rights and
privileges as the other shares of such Fund.

The
Trust has entered into an agreement with NYSE Group, Inc. to list the Funds’ (“Shares”) on NYSE Arca, Inc., an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of NYSE Group, Inc. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds will issue and redeem
Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, typically 10,000 Shares, called “Creation Units.” Each

Creation
Units will be issued and redeemed principally in-kind, however, the Trust reserves the right to offer a cash option for creations and
redemptions of Shares. Once created, Shares generally will trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day
in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares
of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant
is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National
Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Corporation participant and, in each case, must have executed a participant
agreement with Vigilant Distributors, LLC, the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”). Most retail investors will not
qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase
or redeem the Shares directly from a Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase Shares in the secondary market with the assistance
of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

The
Absolute Shares Trust has historically engaged KPMG, LLP. to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust.
On September 25,2025, the Board of Trustees of the Trust considered and approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd. as the independent
registered public accounting firm for each series of the Trust (each, a “Fund”) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
In connection with this change, KPMG, LLP., each Fund’s prior independent registered public accounting firm, was dismissed effective
as of September 25, 2025.
The
reports of KPMG, LLP. on the financial statements of the Funds for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 contained no
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During
the Funds’ fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, and during the subsequent interim period from July 1, 2025 through
September 25,2025 (the “Interim Period”), (i) there were no disagreements with KPMG, LLP. on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction
of KPMG, LLP., would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements of such fiscal years or Interim
Period; and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
During
the Funds’ fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, and during the Interim Period, neither the Trust nor anyone acting
on its behalf consulted with Cohen & Company, Ltd. regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds’ financial statements, and no written
report or oral advice was provided that Cohen & Company, Ltd. concluded was an important factor considered by the Trust in reaching
a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement
(as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v)of Regulation S-K).
The
Trust has requested that KPMG, LLP. furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees
with the statements made above.
