NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Crawford Large Cap Dividend Fund (the Large Cap Dividend Fund), Crawford Small Cap Dividend Fund (the Small Cap Dividend Fund) and Crawford Multi-Asset Income Fund (the Multi-Asset Income Fund) (each a Fund and collectively, the Funds) are each registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified series of Unified Series Trust (the Trust). The Large Cap Dividend Fund, Small Cap Dividend Fund, and Multi-Asset Income Fund were organized on December 7, 2003, June 21, 2012, and August 7, 2017, respectively. The Trust is an open-end investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated October 14, 2002, as amended (the Trust Agreement). The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the Board) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value. Each Fund is one of a series of funds currently authorized by the Board. The investment adviser to the Funds is Crawford Investment Counsel, Inc. (the Adviser). The investment objective of the Large Cap Dividend Fund is total return. The investment objective of the Small Cap Dividend Fund is to provide attractive long-term total return with below market risk as measured by standard deviation in comparison with the Russell 2000® Index. The investment objective of the Multi-Asset Income Fund is to provide current income.
The Large Cap Dividend Fund currently offers two classes of shares: Class I and Class C. Large Cap Dividend Fund Class I shares were first offered to the public on January 5, 2004, and Large Cap Dividend Fund Class C shares were first offered to the public on January 27, 2004. Small Cap Dividend Fund Class I shares were first offered to the public on September 26, 2012. Shares of the Multi-Asset Income Fund were first offered to the public on September 12, 2017. Each class votes separately on matters affecting only that class, or on matters expressly required to be voted on separately by state or federal law. Shares of each class of a series have the same voting and other rights and preferences as the other classes and series of the Trust for matters that affect the Trust as a whole. Each share represents an equal proportionate interest in the assets and liabilities belonging to the applicable Fund and is entitled to such dividends and distributions out of income belonging to the Funds as are declared by the Board.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP).
17
Crawford Funds
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
Segment Reporting - The Funds have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Funds financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entitys chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. Each Funds CODM is the President and Principal Executive Officer of the Trust. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each Funds income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of each Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange each business day to determine the value of investments, and other assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of foreign securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations represents currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. The net change in unrealized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency translations for the period is reflected in the Statements of Operations.
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds make no provision for federal income or excise tax. Each Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
18
Crawford Funds
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. Each Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense.
As of and during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations when incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the previous three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements and does not expect this to change over the next twelve months.
Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each funds relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Board). Expenses specifically attributable to any class are borne by that class. Income, realized gains and losses, unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and fund-wide expenses not allocated to a particular class shall be allocated to each class based on the net assets of that class in relation to the net assets of the entire fund.
Security Transactions and Related Income – The Funds follow industry practice and record security transactions on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statement and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investment or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds investments in REITs are reported to the Funds after the end of the calendar year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distributions information available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and related reclaims have been provided for in accordance with the Funds understanding of the applicable countrys tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions – The Large Cap Dividend Fund and the Small Cap Dividend Fund each typically distribute substantially all of their net investment income quarterly and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Multi-Asset Income
19
Crawford Funds
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
Fund typically distributes net investment income monthly and any realized net capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature; they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values (NAV) per share of the Funds.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges – With respect to the Class C shares of the Large Cap Dividend Fund, there is no initial sales charge on purchases. However, a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00%, based on the lower of the shares cost or current NAV, will be imposed on such purchases if the shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Any shares acquired by reinvestment of distributions will be redeemed without a CDSC. In determining whether a CDSC is payable, the Large Cap Dividend Fund will first redeem Class C shares not subject to any charge.
NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Each Fund values its portfolio securities at fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each business day the NYSE is open for business. Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained and available from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
20
Crawford Funds
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Funds investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| ● | Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
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 which is reported is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Equity securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the securitys primary exchange. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange-traded security is generally valued at its last bid price. Securities traded in the Nasdaq over-the-counter market are generally valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. When using market quotations and when the market is considered active, the security is classified as a Level 1 security. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, securities are valued in good faith by the Adviser, as Valuation Designee, under the oversight of the Boards Pricing & Liquidity Committee. The Valuation Designee has adopted written policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available in conformity with guidelines adopted by the Board. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee pursuant to its policies and procedures. Any fair value provided by the Valuation Designee is subject to the ultimate review of the pricing methodology by the Pricing & Liquidity Committee of the Board on a quarterly basis. Under these policies, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used.
21

Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the mutual funds. These securities are categorized as Level 1 securities.
Debt securities are valued by using the mean between the closing bid and ask prices provided by a pricing service. If the closing bid and ask prices are not readily available, the pricing service may provide a price determined by a matrix pricing method. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used to value fixed income securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices. Matrix pricing takes into consideration recent transactions, yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant for the actual security being priced and for other securities with similar characteristics. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 2 securities. If the Valuation Designee decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair value of the securities or when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, securities are valued at fair value as determined by the Valuation Designee, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board through its Pricing & Liquidity Committee. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 3 securities.
In accordance with the Trusts valuation policies and fair value determinations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Valuation Designee is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single method exists for determining fair value because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of a security being valued by the Valuation Designee would be the amount that a Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale. Methods that are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market prices of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Fair-value pricing is permitted if, in the Valuation Designees opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before a Funds NAV calculation that may affect a securitys value, or the Valuation Designee is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations. The Valuation Designee may obtain assistance from others in fulfilling its duties. For example, it may seek assistance from pricing services, fund administrators, sub-advisers, accountants, or counsel; it may also consult the Trusts Fair Value Committee. The Valuation Designee,

however, remains responsible for the final fair value determination and may not designate or assign that responsibility to any third party.

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (Ultimus) provides administration, fund accounting and transfer agent services to the Funds. The Funds pay Ultimus fees in accordance with the agreements for such services.
Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (NLCS), an affiliate of Ultimus, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives fees from the Funds, which are approved annually by the Board.
Under the terms of a Distribution Agreement with the Trust, Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the Distributor) serves as principal underwriter to the Funds. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultimus. The Distributor is compensated by the Adviser (not the Funds) for acting as principal underwriter.
Certain officers of the Trust are also employees of Ultimus and such persons are not paid by the Funds for serving in such capacities.
The Board supervises the business activities of the Trust. Each Trustee serves as a trustee until termination of the Trust unless the Trustee dies, resigns, retires, or is removed. The Chair of the Board and more than 75% of the Trustees are Independent Trustees, which means that they are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees review and establish compensation at least annually. Each Trustee of the Trust receives annual compensation, which is an established amount paid quarterly per fund in the Trust at the time of the regular quarterly Board meetings. The Chair of the Board receives the highest compensation, commensurate with his additional duties and each Chair of a committee receives additional compensation as well. Trustees also receive additional fees for attending any special meetings. In addition, the Trust reimburses Trustees for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conjunction with attendance at meetings.
The Trust, with respect to the Large Cap Dividend Funds Class C shares has adopted a Distribution Plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the
25
Crawford Funds
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
Plan, the Large Cap Dividend Fund pays a fee to the Distributor, the Adviser or other financial institutions of 1.00% of the Class Cs average daily net assets (0.75% to help defray the cost of distributing Class C shares and 0.25% for servicing the Class C shareholders) attributable to the Large Cap Dividend Fund in connection with the promotion and distribution of the Large Cap Dividend Funds Class C shares or the provision of personal services to Class C shareholders. These services include, but are not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Large Cap Dividend Fund shareholders, the printing and mailing of sales literature and servicing shareholder accounts (12b-1 Expenses). The Plan is a compensation plan, which means that compensation is provided regardless of 12b-1 Expenses actually incurred. Pursuant to the Plan, the Board reviews, at least quarterly, a written report of the distribution expenses incurred on behalf of the Large Cap Dividend Funds Class C shares under the Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Large Cap Dividend Fund Class C shares incurred 12b-1 Expenses of $10,427. The Large Cap Dividend Fund owed $8,924 for Class C 12b-1 Expenses as of June 30, 2026.

| (a) | Short-term capital gain distributions are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. |
At December 31, 2025, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:
| Large Cap | Small Cap | Multi-Asset | ||||||||||
| Dividend Fund | Dividend Fund | Income Fund | ||||||||||
| Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 12,669 | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||
| Undistributed long-term capital gains | — | — | — | |||||||||

| Total accumulated earnings | $ | 32,149,450 | $ | 65,303,386 | $ | 6,265,139 | ||||||
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, differences related to partnership investments and the return of capital adjustments from underlying investments.
Capital losses and specified gains realized after October 31, and net investment losses realized after December 31 of a Funds fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Large Cap Dividend Fund, Small Cap Dividend Fund and Multi-Asset Income Fund deferred post-October capital losses in the amounts of $84,472, $1,891,920 and $324,698, respectively.
In this reporting period, the Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures including additional detail related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid during the reporting period. For the period ended June 30, 2026, federal, state, or local income taxes or any income taxes in foreign jurisdictions paid by each Fund were immaterial.

NOTE 7. SECTOR RISK
If a Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers within a particular sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss in a Fund and increase the volatility of the Funds NAV per share. For instance, economic or market factors, regulatory changes or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector, and therefore the value of the Funds portfolio will be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2026, the Small Cap Dividend Fund had 39.62% of the value of its net assets invested in securities within the Industrials sector. As of June 30, 2026, the Multi-Asset Income Fund had 29.57% of the value of its net assets invested in securities within the Financials sector.
NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from their performance of their duties to the Trust or the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

| Notes to the Financial Statements |
| June 30, 2026 (Unaudited) |
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The Q India Equity Fund (the Fund) was registered as a non-diversified series of Unified Series Trust (the Trust) on August 20, 2024. The Trust is an open-end investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated October 14, 2002, as amended (the Trust Agreement). The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Board) to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in the listed equities of Indian companies that are in a position to benefit from the anticipated growth and development of the Indian economy. The Fund is one of a series of funds currently authorized by the Board. The Funds investment adviser is Quantum Advisors Private Limited (the Adviser).
The Fund currently offers three classes of shares, Class I, Class II and Investor Class. Class I, Class II and Investor Class shares were first offered to the public on January 6, 2025. Each share represents an equal proportionate interest in the assets and liabilities belonging to the applicable class of the Fund and is entitled to such dividends and distributions out of income belonging to the applicable class of the Fund as are declared by the Board. On matters that affect the Fund as a whole, each class has the same voting and other rights and preferences as any other class. On matters that affect only one class, only shareholders of that class may vote. Each class votes separately on matters affecting only that class, or as expressly required to be voted on separately by state or federal law. Shares of each class of a series have the same voting and other rights and preferences as the other classes and series of the Trust for matters that affect the Trust as a whole. The Fund may offer additional classes of shares in the future.
Non-Diversification Risk – As a non-diversified fund, the Funds portfolio may focus on a limited number of companies. Because the Fund may hold the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund, the poor performance of an individual security in the Funds portfolio may have a greater negative impact on the Funds performance than if the Funds assets were diversified among a larger number of portfolio securities.
The Fund has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entitys chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Funds CODM is the President and Principal Executive Officer of the Trust. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Funds income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Fund has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures including additional detail related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid during the reporting period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, federal, state or local income taxes or any income taxes in foreign jurisdictions paid by the Fund was immaterial.
The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under 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 followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP).
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange each business day to determine the value of investments, and other assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of foreign securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations represents currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. The change in unrealized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency translations for the period is reflected in the Statement of Operations.
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense.

| Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) |
| June 30, 2026 (Unaudited) |
As of and during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations when incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the previous three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements and does not expect this to change over the next twelve months.
Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds of the Trust based on each funds relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Board). Expenses specifically attributable to any class are borne by that class. Income, realized gains and losses, unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and fund-wide expenses not allocated to a particular class shall be allocated to each class based on the net assets of that class in relation to the net assets of the entire fund.
Security Transactions and Related Income – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statement and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Non-cash income, if any, is recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign capital gains, foreign dividends and related reclaims have been provided for in accordance with the Funds understanding of the applicable countrys tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions – The Fund intends to distribute its net investment income and net realized long-term and short-term capital gains, if any, at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the period from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified among the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value (NAV) per share of the Fund.
NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Fund values its portfolio securities at fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each business day the NYSE is open for business. Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the
11

| Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) |
| June 30, 2026 (Unaudited) |
principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained and available from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| ● | Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
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 which is reported is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Equity securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the securitys primary exchange. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange-traded security is generally valued at its last bid price. Securities traded in the Nasdaq over-the-counter market are generally valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. With respect to foreign equity securities that are principally traded on a market outside the United States, the Boards Pricing & Liquidity Committee has approved the utilization of an International Fair Value Pricing Service to evaluate the effect of market fluctuations on these securities after the close of trading in that foreign market. Where a movement of identified indices compared to each other is sufficiently large to constitute a trigger point established by the Boards Pricing & Liquidity Committee, fair market valuation factors provided by the International Fair Value Pricing Service will be applied to the closing market prices of these foreign equity securities, and those adjusted prices will be used in the Funds NAV calculation for that day. When using market quotations and when the market is considered active, the security is classified as a Level 1 security. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or
12
| Q India Equity Fund |
| Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) |
| June 30, 2026 (Unaudited) |
are considered unreliable due to market or other events, securities are valued in good faith by the Adviser, as Valuation Designee, under the oversight of the Boards Pricing & Liquidity Committee. The Valuation Designee has adopted written policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available in conformity with guidelines adopted by the Board. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee pursuant to its policies and procedures. Any fair value provided by the Valuation Designee is subject to the ultimate review of the pricing methodology by the Pricing & Liquidity Committee of the Board on a quarterly basis. Under these policies, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the mutual funds. These securities are categorized as Level 1 securities.
In accordance with the Trusts valuation policies and fair value determinations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), the Valuation Designee is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single method exists for determining fair value because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of a security being valued by the Valuation Designee would be the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale. Methods that are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market prices of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Fair-value pricing is permitted if, in the Valuation Designees opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before the Funds NAV calculation that may affect a securitys value, or the Valuation Designee is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations. The Valuation Designee may obtain assistance from others in fulfilling its duties. For example, it may seek assistance from pricing services, fund administrators, sub-advisers, accountants, or counsel; it may also consult the Trusts Fair Value Committee. The Valuation Designee, however, remains responsible for the final fair value determination and may not designate or assign that responsibility to any third party.

NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS
The Adviser, under the terms of the management agreement, manages the Funds investments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, before the waiver described below, the Adviser earned a fee of $3,097 from the Fund. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse expenses so that total annual operating expenses (excluding portfolio transaction and other investment-related costs (including brokerage fees and commissions); taxes; borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short); acquired fund fees and expenses; fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); any amounts payable pursuant to a distribution or service plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; any administrative and/or shareholder servicing fees payable pursuant to a plan adopted by the Board; expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization; extraordinary expenses (such as litigation expenses, indemnification of Trust officers and Trustees and contractual indemnification of Fund service providers); and other expenses that the Trustees agree have not been incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds business) do not exceed 0.98%, 0.75% and 1.23% of the average daily net assets of the Funds Class I, Class II and Investor Class shares, respectively, through April 30, 2029 and to 1.05%, 1.05% and 1.30% of the average daily net assets of the Funds Class I, Class II and Investor Class shares, respectively, through May 1, 2036.

effect at the time of the waiver/expense payment and any expense limitation in effect at the time of the recoupment.

| Recoverable through | ||||
| December 31, 2028 | $ | 286,047 | ||
| June 30, 2029 | 162,677 |
Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (Ultimus) provides administration, fund accounting and transfer agent services to the Fund. The Fund pays Ultimus fees in accordance with the agreements for such services.
Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (NLCS), an affiliate of Ultimus, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives fees from the Fund, which are approved annually by the Board.
Under the terms of a Distribution Agreement with the Trust, Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the Distributor) serves as principal underwriter to the Fund. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultimus. The Distributor is compensated by the Adviser (not the Fund) for acting as principal underwriter.
Certain officers of the Trust are also employees of Ultimus and such persons are not paid by the Fund for serving in such capacities.
The Board supervises the business activities of the Trust. Each Trustee serves as a trustee until termination of the Trust unless the Trustee dies, resigns, retires, or is removed. The Chair of the Board and more than 75% of the Trustees are Independent Trustees, which means that they are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees review and establish compensation at least annually. Each Trustee of the Trust receives annual compensation, which is an established amount paid quarterly per fund in the Trust at the time of the regular quarterly Board meetings. The Chair of the Board receives the highest compensation, commensurate with his additional duties and each Chair of a committee receives additional compensation as well. Trustees also receive additional fees for attending any special meetings. In addition, the Trust reimburses Trustees for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conjunction with attendance at meetings.
The Trust, with respect to the Investor Class shares of the Fund, has adopted a distribution plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund can pay the Distributor, the Adviser and/or other financial institutions or any other person (the Recipient) a fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in connection with the promotion and distribution of the Funds shares or the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, the
15
| Q India Equity Fund |
| Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) |
| June 30, 2026 (Unaudited) |
printing and mailing of sales literature and servicing shareholder accounts (12b-1 Expenses). The Fund or Adviser may pay all or a portion of these fees to any Recipient who renders assistance in distributing or promoting the sale of shares, or who provides certain shareholder services, pursuant to a written agreement. The Plan is a compensation plan, which means that compensation is provided regardless of 12b-1 expenses actually incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Investor Class shares incurred 12b-1 expenses of $37. The Fund owed $112 for Investor Class shares 12b-1 expenses as of June 30, 2026.
NOTE 5. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, were $88,039 and $42,502, respectively.
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
NOTE 6. 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 a fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2026, Kevin and Jill Heller owned 100% of the Class II outstanding shares and 77.47% of the Investor Class outstanding shares. As of June 30, 2026, Sandeep Mathrani owned 97.44% of Class I outstanding shares. As a result, Kevin and Jill Heller and Sandeep Mathrani may be deemed to control the Fund.
NOTE 7. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
At June 30, 2026, the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and tax cost of investments for tax purposes were as follows:
| Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 19,379 | ||
| Gross unrealized depreciation | (175,027 | ) | ||
| Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments | $ | (155,648 | ) | |
| Tax cost of investments | $ | 1,081,071 | ||
At December 31, 2025, the Funds most recent fiscal period end, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:
| Unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) | $ | (27,385 | ) | |
| Total accumulated earnings (deficit) | $ | (27,385 | ) | |
As of December 31, 2025, the difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily attributable to foreign capital gain tax reclasses.

| Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued) |
| June 30, 2026 (Unaudited) |
Capital losses and specified gains realized after October 31, and net investment losses realized after December 31 of the Funds fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. For the fiscal period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not defer any post-October capital losses or late year ordinary losses.
NOTE 8. SECTOR RISK
If the Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers within a particular sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Funds NAV per share. For instance, economic or market factors, regulatory changes or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector, and therefore the value of the Funds portfolio will be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund had 44.72% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Financials sector.
NOTE 9. CONCENTRATION RISK
A funds portfolio with a geographical focus may be more volatile than a broad-based fund portfolio, such as a global equity fund portfolio, as they are more susceptible to fluctuations in value resulting from adverse conditions in the countries in which they invest. As of June 30, 2026, the Fund had 96.48% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks domiciled in India.
NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from their performance of their duties to the Trust or the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management of the Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date at which these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, management has determined there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
