HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
From June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026 (the “Period”), the Fund delivered a strong total return, outperforming the MSCI USA Net Total Return USD Index.
U.S. equities advanced during the period, with the S&P 500 returning approximately +11% as the artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure buildout broadened beyond mega-cap chip designers into the companies supplying the buildout: servers, memory, networking, and power. The Bright Earnings LifeCycle model played a significant role in the Fund’s outperformance of the broader market. The defining market dynamic of the period was that AI data center demand drove consensus earnings estimates sharply higher across the compute supply chain before share prices had fully repriced, and the Bright Earnings LifeCycle model is built to identify such opportunities, concentrating the Fund in companies where earnings expectations are accelerating while valuations still lag. The Fund’s three largest contributors, Dell Technologies, Inc. (“Dell”), Micron Technology, Inc. (“Micron”), and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD”), each fit this profile entering the year: Dell with surging AI server orders, Micron with high-bandwidth memory demand driving an industry upcycle from trough pricing, and AMD with accelerating data center revenue. Detractors were modest, with Moody’s Corp., S&P Global, Inc., and NRG Energy, Inc., each detracting slightly from performance. All holdings were first screened through Bright Portfolios, LLC’s Common Good Process, which excludes businesses inconsistent with the Fund’s values criteria and evaluates stakeholder treatment, business quality, valuation, and the direction of earnings expectations before any position is established.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, the Fund generated strong absolute performance returning 20.71% over the 12 month period. However, this performance was below the MSCI World Index Net (USD) return of 27.49% and the MSCI ACWI Net Total Return Index (USD) of 30.27%.
Against both benchmarks, security selection played a larger role than sector allocation. Relative to MSCI ACWI Net Total Return Index (USD), the sectors with the largest positive contribution were consumer staples, industrials and energy. The three sectors with the largest negative contribution were information technology, health care, and consumer discretionary.
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (“Samsung”) was the largest contributor to returns over the past year. Samsung is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world and has been driving shareholder value as the only global semiconductor company that has industry leadership positions in both memory chips and foundry services as compared to other semiconductor design companies. Comfort Systems USA, Inc. was the second largest contributor to returns with growth in business of supplying HVAC systems to a range of commercial customers including data centers. NVIDIA Corp. performed strongly on the back of demand for a type of semiconductor GPUs, (graphics processing units), used in applications like artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and gaming. Rounding out our top performers, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. drove strong profitability as the world’s largest semiconductor foundry and Casey’s General Stores, Inc., a leading chain store operator providing food, gas, and everyday goods to customers in rural markets across the South and Midwestern U.S. also drove profitability.
ServiceNow, Inc. led underperformance; while some of this was related to concerns about potential threats from artificial intelligence software, a larger investor concern stemmed from growing actual competition with other large enterprise application vendors. Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. performed poorly in competition with other network-oriented security companies which led to lowered earnings expectations. Trade Desk, Inc. experienced a slowdown year over year revenue growth amid intensifying dynamics in digital ad spending. Intuitive Surgical, Inc. saw a slight slowdown in growth from high teens to low teens given some margin compression. Animal health leader Zoetis, Inc., was impacted by lowered earnings expectations driven by a decline in core U.S. animal product sales.

Item 4.
Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services,
audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing
an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection

refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including reviewing
the Fund’s tax returns and distribution calculations. There were no “Other services” provided by the principal accountant.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, the Fund’s principal accountant was Cohen & Company, Ltd. The following table details

(h) Because no non-audit services were rendered, the audit committee of
the registrant’s board of trustees did not consider whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s
investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of
such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
(i) Not applicable.
(j) Not applicable.

ETF Trust in a tax-free reorganization on December 31, 2025.
The
Bright Portfolios ETF, a series of the FIS Trust, acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the Bright Portfolios ETF, a series of
NEOS ETF Trust, in a tax-free reorganization on February 20, 2026.

Bright
Portfolios, LLC acts as the sub-adviser to the Bright Portfolios ETF.
Vident
Asset Management acts as the trading sub-adviser responsible for trading portfolio securities for the Bright Portfolios ETF and Christian
Stock Fund.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”).
|
A.
|
Investment
Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close
of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. NAV per share is computed by
dividing the net assets of each Fund by each Fund’s number of shares outstanding. |
When
calculating the NAV of each Fund’s shares, securities held by the Funds are valued at market quotations when reliable market quotations
are readily available. Exchange traded securities and instruments (including equity securities, American Depositary Receipts and ETFs)
are generally valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such securities are traded (at the NASDAQ Official
Closing Price for NASDAQ listed securities), as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued
or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities and instruments not traded
on an exchange are generally valued at the last traded price. Investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at NAV.
In the absence of a recorded transaction sale price; or if the last sale price is unavailable, securities are valued at the mean between
last bid and ask, as quoted. If an ask price is unavailable, the last bid price is used. Such valuations would typically be categorized
as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
When
reliable market quotations are not readily available, securities are priced at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser
in accordance with the Trust’s valuation guidelines. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, each Fund has designated the
Adviser as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities
that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary
determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if
it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable. The Funds may use fair
value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including
TABLE OF CONTENTS
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May

but
not limited to, situations when the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market
on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of such security)
or trading in such security has been suspended or halted. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3
in the fair value hierarchy described below.
Fair
value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different
than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. As of May 31, 2026, there were no securities held by the Funds
that were internally fair valued and/or valued using a Level 2 or Level 3 valuation.
Investments
in open-end regulated investment companies (including money market funds) are valued at NAV. Such valuations would typically be categorized
as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below.
The
Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed
based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs) and (2) the Funds’ own assumptions about
market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three
levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:
|
Level 1 –
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets that the Funds have the ability to access. |
|
Level 2 –
|
Other significant observable inputs (including
quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
|
Level 3 –
|
Significant unobservable inputs (including
the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The
inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The
following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s investments as of May 31, 2026:

B.

Foreign Currency
Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The Funds’ assets and liabilities in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the |

valuation
date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the
transaction. The Funds’ income earned and expenses incurred in foreign denominated currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at
the prevailing exchange rate on the date of such activity.
The
Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from
the fluctuations that result from changes in the market prices of investments held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign
currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gain (loss) on investments in securities and net change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on investments in securities on the Statements of Operations.
Net
realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions reported on the Statements of Operations arise from sales of foreign currency,
including foreign exchange contracts, net currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions
and the difference in the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent
of the amounts actually received or paid. Net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies reported on the Statements of Operations arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate)
in the value of foreign currency and assets and liabilities (other than investments) denominated in foreign currencies, which are held
at year end.
|
C.
|
Use of Estimates.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
D.
|
Federal Income
Taxes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent each Fund distributes substantially
all its taxable net investment income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax should
be required. Management of the Funds is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Funds is more likely than not to be
sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that there are no significant
uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of May 31, 2026. The Funds recognize interest
and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. |
|
E.
|
Distributions
to Shareholders. Each Fund expects to declare and distribute all of its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends
annually. The Funds will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Funds may distribute such income dividends
and capital gains more frequently, if necessary, to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the Funds. The amount of any
distribution will vary, and there is no guarantee the Funds will pay either an income dividend or a capital gains distribution. |
|
F.
|
Dividend Income.
Each Fund records the dividends it receives from underlying investments as dividends receivable (asset) and dividend income (income) on
ex-dividend date. On pay-date, cash is received from the dividend payment and the dividends receivable account is relieved. |
|
G.
|
Reclassification
of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified
between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share and are primarily due to differing
book and tax treatments for in-kind redemptions. For the year ended May 31, 2026, the following adjustments were made: |

with the Funds’ investment objectives, policies, strategies and restrictions. The Board oversees the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers,

Pursuant
to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Bright Portfolios ETF pays the Adviser a monthly unitary management fee at an annual rate of

NOTE
6 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Each
Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front-end sales loads, no deferred sales charges, and no redemption fees. The
standard fixed transaction fees for the Bright Portfolios ETF and the Christian Stock Fund are $500, payable to the Custodian. Additionally,
a variable transaction fee may be charged by the Funds of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units (inclusive of any transaction
fees charged), for each creation or redemption. Variable transaction fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for the transaction costs
associated with creation and redemption transactions. The Adviser may adjust or waive the transaction fees from time to time. The Funds
may each issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and
privileges.
Shares
of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). Market prices for the Shares may be different
from their net asset value (“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.” Creation Unit transactions are conducted in exchange for the
deposit or delivery of a designated basket of in-kind securities and/or cash. Once created, shares generally will trade in the secondary
market in amounts less than a Creation Unit and at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units,
shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Shares of the Funds 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 (“Clearing Process”) of the National Securities Clearing Corporation
(“NSCC”) or (ii) a participant in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and, in each case, must have executed a
Participant Agreement with the Funds’ Distributor. 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 shares directly from the Funds. 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.
NOTE
7 – BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The
beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates a presumption of control
of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of the date of these financial statements, Faith Investor Services, LLC, the
investment adviser to the Christian Stock Fund, has voting power of 1,016,611 shares of the Christian Stock Fund, representing 44.59%
of the shares outstanding.
NOTE
8 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
As
with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the
principal risks, any of which may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet their
investment objectives. A description of principal risks is included in each prospectus under the heading “Principal Investment Risks”.
NOTE
9 – INDEMNIFICATIONS
In
the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with third-party service providers that contain
a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Trust organizational documents,
the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. The
Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against
the Funds. The Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations
is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the
Funds.
NOTE
10 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND/OR REGULATORY UPDATES
Each
Fund has one reportable segment. Business activities are managed on a consolidated basis and revenues are derived primarily through each
Fund’s investments in accordance with its investment objective. Each Fund’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”)
is the Fund’s Principal Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer at the Adviser. The CODM assesses performance based on a Fund’s
Total Return as reported in the Financial Highlights, and the same accounting policies are applied as described in the summary of significant
accounting policies. Each Fund’s Total Return is utilized by the CODM to compare results, including the impact of a Fund’s
costs, to a Fund’s competitors and to a Fund’s benchmark index.

11 – FIS BRIGHT PORTFOLIOS FOCUSED EQUITY ETF IN-KIND CONTRIBUTION
As
part of Bright Portfolios ETF’s commencement of operations on December 20, 2024, the Fund received an in-kind contribution
from accounts managed by Bright Portfolios, LLC, which consisted of $21,559,443 of securities which were recorded at their current value
to align the Fund’s performance with ongoing financial reporting. However, as the transaction was determined to be a nontaxable
transaction by management, the Fund elected to retain the securities’ original cost basis for tax purposes. The cost of the contributed
securities as of December 20, 2024 was $16,251,665, resulting in net unrealized appreciation on investments of $5,307,778 as of that
date. As a result of the in-kind contribution, the Fund issued 862,000 shares at a $25.01 per share net asset value.
NOTE
12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management
has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were
issued.
At
a meeting held on February 18, 2026, the Board approved a change in the Funds’ fiscal year end from May 31 to June 30.
Management
has determined that there are no other material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
NOTE
13 – Fund Reorganization
The
Christian Stock Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the Christian Stock Fund (the “Christian Predecessor Fund”),
a series of the NEOS ETF Trust in a tax-free reorganization on December 31, 2025. Effective December 31, 2025, the assets and liabilities
of the Christian Predecessor Fund were transferred to the Fund in exchange for shares of the Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets
received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, for tax purposes and book purposes the cost basis of the
investments received from the Christian Predecessor Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and
unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with
the reorganization were paid by the Adviser. The fiscal year end of the Christian Predecessor Fund was May 31, and the Fund is May 31.
Operations prior to December 31, 2025, were for the Christian Predecessor Fund.

Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2026,
by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
We
have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds advised by Faith Investor Services, LLC since 2023.

(Unaudited)
APPROVAL
OF FAITH INVESTOR SERVICES, LLC ADVISORY AGREEMENT
During
the Meeting of the Board held on August 12, 2025, the Board including the Independent Trustees of the Board, reviewed: (i) the nature
and quality of the advisory services to be provided by Faith Investor Services, LLC (the “Adviser”), including the experience
and qualifications of the personnel providing such services; (ii) the performance of the FIS Christian Stock Fund (“PRAY”)
and FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF (“BRIF”) (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”);
(iii) the proposed fees and expenses of the Funds; (iv) the anticipated profitability of the Funds to the Adviser; (v) potential economies
of scale; (vi) possible fall-out benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates (i.e., the ancillary benefits realized by the Adviser and
its affiliates from the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds); and (vii) possible conflicts of interest. In considering
the approval of the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including
the factors enumerated below.
The
Board exercised its own business judgment in determining its conclusions and its conclusions were based on an evaluation of all of the
information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various
factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement.
Nature,
Extent and Quality of Service.
The
Board reviewed materials provided by the Adviser related to the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the
scope of services to be provided under the Advisory Agreement, noting that the Adviser currently provided advisory services to the predecessor
Funds in another trust and would provide substantially identical services to the Funds in FIS Trust. The Board reviewed the background
information of the Adviser’s key investment professionals who would be servicing the Funds, noting their satisfaction with the individuals’
educations and wide range of industry experience. The Board acknowledged that the Adviser was responsible for overseeing the sub-adviser
Bright Portfolios, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Board also noted that the Adviser would be responsible for overseeing the
trading sub-adviser Vident Asset Management (the “Trading Sub-Adviser”). The Board discussed the processes the Adviser had
in place to ensure compliance with each Fund’s investment strategy as well as the Funds and Trust limitations and policies. The
Board agreed that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, compliance program along with the resources to perform its
duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services to be provided by the Adviser
to the Funds would be satisfactory. The Board determined that the Adviser could be expected to provide high quality service to the Funds
and their respective shareholders.
Performance.
The
Board considered the information provided by the Adviser related to each Fund’s strategy and observed that the proposed strategies
for the Funds are identical to their corresponding predecessor Fund. The Board reviewed the performance of the predecessor Funds over
various periods.
PRAY:
The Board discussed that the predecessor fund had outperformed its peer group for the three-year and
since inception periods. The Board observed that the predecessor fund had underperformed its benchmark for all available periods. However,
the Board acknowledged that the predecessor fund had strong absolute returns. The Board agreed that the predecessor fund had been managed
consistent with its investment objective, and that the Adviser could be expected to successfully manage the Fund.
BRIF:
The Board recognized the predecessor fund had a short history, commencing operations in December 2024.
The Board discussed that the predecessor fund had outperformed its benchmark and peer group category over the since inception period.
The Board agreed that the predecessor fund had been managed consistently with its investment objective, and that the Adviser could be
expected to successfully manage the Fund.
Fees
and Expenses. The Board reviewed the proposed management fee for each Fund, which were each proposed
as a “unitary fee” under which the Adviser would pay all expenses of the Funds except for the management fee and certain other
costs such as interest, brokerage, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses. Accordingly, the Board agreed that a comparison
of each Fund’s unitary fee to the total expense ratios of the funds in their respective peer group was appropriate. The Board considered
that the proposed management fee for each Fund was

(Unaudited)(Continued)
identical
to the fee charged by the Adviser to its respective predecessor fund. The Board also discussed that as all fees were paid from the unitary
fee, the proposed arrangement reflected a not unreasonable allocation of the fees paid to the Adviser given the work performed by it.
PRAY:
The Board observed the Adviser proposed a 0.68% unitary fee. The Board noted that the advisory fee charged by the Adviser to the Fund
was higher than the average expense ratio of its peer group. The Board considered the Adviser’s position that many of the peer funds
were passively managed and that its screening guidelines were more labor intensive than the screening guidelines of other actively managed
funds in its peer group, which justified the higher fee. The Board concluded that the management fee for PRAY was not unreasonable, and
that the allocation of sub-advisory fee and amount retained by the Adviser was reasonable given their respective responsibilities.
BRIF:
The Board noted that the Adviser proposed an advisory fee of 0.65%, which was also a unitary fee. As to the costs of the services to be
provided by the Adviser, the Board discussed the comparison of advisory fees and total operating expense data and reviewed the overall
expenses compared to a peer group comprised of funds selected by the Adviser, each of which had similar investment objectives and faith-based
strategies. The Board was aware that under the unitary fee arrangement, the Adviser is contractually obligated to pay the fees of the
Fund service providers including its sub-adviser, with the exception of the advisory fee and certain other expenses. The Board further
observed that the proposed fee was within the range of peer funds provided by Adviser. Given these considerations, the Board concluded
that the Adviser’s proposed advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Economies
of Scale. The Board discussed the Adviser’s asset projections for each Fund and acknowledged
Adviser’s position that economies of scale were unlikely to be realized for any of the Funds within the near future.
Profitability.
The Board evaluated the compensation and benefits to be received by the Adviser from its relationship
with each Fund and reviewed an analysis of the Adviser’s anticipated profitability with respect to the work to be completed for
each Fund. The Board considered the profits anticipated with respect to each, if any, were not unreasonable across the initial term of
the Advisory Agreement.
Conclusion.
Having requested and received such information from the Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms
of the advisory agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded that approval of the advisory agreement was in
the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.
APPROVAL
OF BRIGHT PORTFOLIOS, LLC SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
During
the Meeting of the Board held on August 12, 2025, the Board reviewed and discussed the written materials that were provided by Bright
Portfolios, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement
between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser on behalf of the FIS Bright Portfolios Focused Equity ETF (the “Fund”). The Board,
including the Independent Trustees, reviewed: (i) the nature and quality of the trading advisory services and related services to be provided
by the Sub-Adviser, including the experience and qualifications of the personnel providing such services; (ii) the performance history
of the Fund, noting that it had not yet launched; (iii) the proposed fees and expense of the Fund, including the proposed sub-advisory
fee to be paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser; (iv) the anticipated profitability of the Fund to the Sub-Adviser; (v) potential economies
of scale; (vi) possible fall-out benefits to the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates (i.e., the ancillary benefits realized by the Sub-Adviser
and its affiliates from the Sub-Adviser’s relationship with the Trust); and (vii) possible conflicts of interest. In considering
the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including
the factors enumerated below.
Nature,
Extent and Quality of Services
The
Board reviewed the Sub-Adviser’s personnel and the experience, education and industry credentials each individual provided. The
Board discussed the Sub-Adviser’s compliance program and policies and procedures along with its broker-dealer selection process.
The Board agreed that the Sub-Adviser had the resources and ability to appropriately perform its duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
The Board concluded the Sub-Adviser’s services to the Fund would be satisfactory.

Performance
The
Board noted that overall performance considerations considered at the advisory level also applied at the sub-advisory level. After further
discussion, the Board agreed that the Sub-Adviser could be expected to provide reasonable performance for Fund and its shareholders.
Fees
and Expenses
The
Board reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board discussed
the fee in connection to the allocation of fees and responsibilities between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board acknowledged that
the Sub-Adviser would be paid by the Adviser rather than the Fund. The Board understood that the Adviser believed that the sub-advisory
fees to be paid to the Sub-Adviser were reasonable based on the services to be performed by the Sub-Adviser. Based on the representations
of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and the meeting materials provided, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee to be paid to the Sub-Adviser
was reasonable.
Profitability
The
Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board acknowledged that the Sub-Adviser did not anticipate
earning a profit in the first year of sub-advising the Fund and a marginal profit in the second year, and therefore concluded that excess
profitability was not a concern at this time.
Economies
of Scale.
The
Board recognized that this was primarily an adviser level issue and had been considered with respect to the overall advisory agreement,
taking into consideration the impact of the sub-advisory expense and the estimated growth of the Fund.
Conclusion.
Having
requested and received such information from the Sub-Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of
the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement
was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
