FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2026
REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF
Notes to Financial StatementsJuly 31, 2026
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified series of ETF Opportunities Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which was organized on March 18, 2019, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The offering of the Fund’s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund commenced operations on October 11, 2023.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation and current income.
The Fund is deemed to be an individual operating reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy, as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus under the heading “Principal Investment Strategies,” are used by REX Advisers, LLC (the “Advisor”) to make investment decisions, and the results of the Fund’s operations, as shown in its Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, are the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Fund. Due to the significance of oversight and its role in the Fund’s management, the Advisor’s Portfolio Manager is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
Security Valuation
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Generally, the Fund’s domestic securities (including underlying ETFs which hold portfolio securities primarily listed on foreign (non-U.S.) exchanges) are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each security’s primary exchange. Securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such exchange. Exchange traded options, including options written, are valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the exchange on which such options are
10
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2026
REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF
Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJuly 31, 2026
traded. If market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at their fair market value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Although the Board is ultimately responsible for fair value determinations under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s assets to the Advisor as the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Fund’s policies and procedures. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such over-the-counter market.
The Fund has a policy that contemplates the use of fair value pricing to determine the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund when market prices are unavailable as well as under special circumstances, such as: (i) if the primary market for a portfolio security suspends or limits trading or price movements of the security; and (ii) when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded, but prior to the time as of which the Fund’s NAV is calculated, that is likely to have changed the value of the security.
When the Fund uses fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of the Fund, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Valuation Designee believes accurately reflects fair value. Any method used will be approved by the Board and results will be monitored to evaluate accuracy. The Fund’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing.
The Fund has adopted fair valuation accounting standards that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

Refer to the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a listing of the securities by type and sector. The Fund held no Level 3 securities at any time during the year ended July 31, 2026.
Security Transactions and Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is determined generally on a specific identification basis to calculate realized gains and losses from security transactions for book and tax purposes. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents, if any, consist of overnight deposits with the custodian bank which earn interest at the current market rate.
Accounting Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of investment income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
12
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2026
REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF
Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJuly 31, 2026
Federal Income Taxes
The Fund has complied and intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Fund’s tax returns. The Fund has no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense as incurred.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. For the year ended July 31, 2026, such reclassifications were attributable primarily to the tax treatment of redemptions in-kind and taxable over distributions.

Dividends and Distributions
Prior to May 28, 2026, dividends from net investment income, if any, were declared and paid monthly by the Fund. Effective May 28, 2026, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid weekly. The Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of a calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Creation Units
The Fund issues and redeems shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in blocks of at least 25,000 shares known as “Creation Units.” Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized
13
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2026
REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF
Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJuly 31, 2026
Participants”) will be required to pay to Citibank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) a fixed transaction fee (“Creation Transaction Fee”) in connection with creation orders that is intended to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each creation order is $250. Authorized Participants wishing to redeem shares will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (“Redemption Transaction Fee”) to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units. The standard Redemption Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Redemption Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each redemption order is $250.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by 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 Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed an agreement with the Fund’s principal underwriter (the “Distributor”) with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”). 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 the 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 following table discloses the Creation Unit breakdown based on the NAV as of July 31, 2026:
|
Creation Unit |
Creation |
Value |
|
25,000 |
$250 |
$ 992,500 |
To the extent contemplated by a participant agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, by the time as set forth in a participant agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking is secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the participant

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJuly 31, 2026
agreement. A participant agreement may permit the Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of the Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and Collateral Payable upon Return of Deposit Securities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
Derivatives
The Fund seeks to generate current income from option premiums by writing (i.e., selling) covered call options on the Fund’s portfolio securities. The writing of a call option generates income in the form of a premium paid by the option buyer. The Fund’s investment strategy is to write call options that are slightly out of the money, which will allow for some capital appreciation, as well as income generation — the degree to which the Fund’s written call options will be out of the money when written will depend on market conditions at the time; however, the Fund intends to target written call options that are not at or in the money. In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and a seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to purchase or sell the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”) within a specified time period (the “expiration date”). A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and obligates the seller (i.e., the Fund) to sell, the underlying security at the exercise price before the expiration date. In exchange for writing the option, the Fund receives income, in the form of a premium, from the option buyer. Writing call options generally is a profitable strategy if prices of the underlying securities remain stable or decrease. Since the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser of the option, the Fund partially offsets the effect of a price decline in the underlying security. At the same time, because the Fund must be prepared to deliver the underlying security in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, the Fund gives up some ability to participate in the underlying security price increases. A “covered call” option written by the Fund is a call option with respect to which the Fund owns the underlying security. The Fund is subject to the requirements of Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act and has adopted policies and procedures to manage risks related to its use of derivatives.
The Fund may purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) call option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the underlying instrument. Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX Options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated).

Officers and Trustees Indemnification
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that the risk of loss will be remote.

NOTE 4 – DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide income tax disclosures, including income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Management has determined that there is no material impact of the ASU on the Fund’s financial statements.
Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

NOTE 5 – TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market® (the “Exchange”) and trade at market prices rather than at NAV. Shares of the Fund may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV. The Fund will issue and redeem shares at NAV only in blocks of 25,000 shares (each block of shares is called a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed for cash and/or in-kind for securities. Individual shares may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.

In each case, the Participating Party or the DTC Participant must have executed an agreement with the Distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”); such parties are collectively referred to as “APs” or “Authorized Participants.” All Fund shares, whether created through or outside the Clearing Process, will be entered on the records of DTC for the account of a DTC Participant.

NOTE 6 - RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund present risks not traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency. A complete description of the principal risks is included in the Fund’s prospectus under the heading “Principal Risks.”
NOTE 7 – SECTOR RISK
If the Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers in industries 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 of an investment in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share. From time to time, circumstances may affect a particular sector and the companies within such sector. For instance, economic or market factors, regulation or deregulation, and technological or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments and options written, of REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF (the “Fund”), a series of ETF Opportunities Trust, as of July 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for the years ended July 31, 2026, 2025, and for the period October 11, 2023 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the years ended July 31, 2026, 2025, and for the period October 11, 2023 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s 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 Fund 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 audit 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 July 31, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers;

Advisory Agreement Renewal
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment
Sub-Advisory Agreement
At a meeting held on June 9-10, 2026 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the ETF Opportunities Trust (the “Trust”) considered the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “REX Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and REX Advisers, LLC (“REX”), and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Vident Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between REX and Vident Advisory, LLC d/b/a Vident Asset Management (“Vident”), with respect to the REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF (“FEPI”). The Board reflected on its discussions with the representatives from REX and Vident earlier in the Meeting regarding the manner in which the REX ETF was managed and the roles and responsibilities of REX and Vident under the REX Advisory Agreement and Vident Sub-Advisory Agreement (together, the “Advisory Agreements”).
Counsel to the Trust (“Counsel”) referred the Board to the Board Materials that included a memorandum from Counsel that addressed the Trustees’ duties when considering the approval of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements and the responses of REX and Vident to requests for information from Counsel on behalf of the Board. Counsel noted that the responses included information on the personnel of and services provided by REX and Vident, an expense comparison

analysis for FEPI and comparable ETFs, and the Advisory Agreements. Counsel discussed the types of information and factors that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the Advisory Agreements, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by REX and Vident; (ii) the investment performance of REX, Vident and FEPI; (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by REX and Vident from the relationship with FEPI; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if FEPI grows and whether the advisory fee level reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of its shareholders; and (v) possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.
In assessing these factors and reaching its decisions, the Board took into consideration information specifically prepared or presented at this Meeting. The Board requested or was provided with information and reports relevant to the approval of renewal of the Advisory Agreements, including: (i) information regarding the services and support provided by REX and Vident to FEPI; (ii) presentations by management of REX and Vident addressing the investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operations utilized in managing FEPI; (iii) information pertaining to the compliance structure of REX and Vident; (iv) disclosure information contained in the Trust’s registration statement and each firm’s Form ADV and each’s policies and procedures; and (v) the memorandum from Counsel that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving renewal of the Advisory Agreements, including the material factors set forth above and the types of information included in each factor that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision.
Counsel reminded the Board that it also requested and received various informational materials including, without limitation: (i) documents containing information about REX and Vident, including financial information, personnel and the services provided by REX and Vident to FEPI, each firm’s compliance program, current legal matters, and other general information; (ii) expenses of FEPI and comparative expense and performance information for other ETFs with strategies similar to FEPI prepared by an independent third party; (iii) the anticipated effect of size on FEPI’s performance and expenses; and (iv) benefits anticipated to be realized by REX and Vident from their relationship with FEPI.

REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF
Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued
The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Advisory Agreements and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. In deciding whether to approve renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by REX and Vident
In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities of REX and Vident under the Advisory Agreements. The Board reviewed the services provided by REX and Vident to FEPI, including, without limitation, REX’s process for formulating investment recommendations and the processes of REX and Vident for assuring compliance with FEPI’s investment objectives and limitations; Vident’s processes for trade execution and broker-dealer selection for portfolio transactions; the coordination of services by REX for FEPI among the service providers; and the anticipated efforts of REX to promote FEPI and grow its assets. The Board considered: the staffing, personnel, and methods of operating of REX and Vident; the education and experience of each firm’s personnel; and information provided regarding each firm’s compliance program and policies and procedures. After reviewing the foregoing and further information from REX and Vident, the Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services provided by REX and Vident were satisfactory and adequate for FEPI.
The investment performance of FEPI, REX and Vident
The Board reviewed FEPI’s performance. In considering FEPI’s investment performance, the Trustees compared FEPI’s performance with the performance of its benchmark index, the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite BXM PR Index, funds in its Morningstar category, Derivative Income (“Category”), and a peer group selected from its Category by an independent third party, Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Peer Group”). The Trustees noted that, for the one-year period ended March 31, 2026, FEPI outperformed its Index and the medians of its Category, and underperformed the median of its Peer Group. The Trustees considered that neither REX nor Vident managed any client accounts with investment objectives similar to those of FEPI. After a detailed discussion of FEPI’s performance, the Board concluded, in light of all the facts and circumstances, that FEPI’s investment performance was satisfactory.
27
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2026
REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF
Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued
The costs of services provided and profits realized by REX and Vident from the relationship with the REX ETF
In this regard, the Board considered REX’s financial condition as well as REX’s level of commitment to FEPI. The Board also considered the projected assets and proposed expenses of FEPI, including the nature and frequency of advisory payments. The Trustees noted the information on profitability provided by REX. The Trustees considered the unitary fee structure by REX. The Board compared the unitary fee of FEPI to the median gross and net advisory fees and median gross and net expense ratios of its Category and its Peer Group. The Trustees noted that FEPI’s gross and net advisory fees were lower than the median gross and net advisory fees of its Category and Peer Group; and that FEPI’s gross and net expense ratios were lower than the median gross and net expense ratios of its Category and Peer Group. The Trustees acknowledged REX’s representation that the advisory fees are appropriate for an actively managed fund that requires unique services such as those provided by REX. The Trustees also considered the split of the advisory fees paid to REX versus those paid to Vident, and the respective services provided by each to FEPI. After further consideration, the Board concluded that the profitability and fees to be paid to REX, who in turn would pay Vident, were within an acceptable range in light of the services to be rendered by REX and Vident.
The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as FEPI grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the FEPI’s shareholders
The Board noted that the fee structure did not have breakpoints, and, as a result, economies of scale would not be realized by FEPI’s shareholders if FEPI’s assets grow. However, the Board noted that the unitary fee structure limits its shareholders’ exposure to underlying operating expense increases. The Trustees acknowledged REX’s representations that its fee levels are appropriate for the unique services provided by REX and Vident to FEPI.
Possible conflicts of interest and other benefits
In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the advisory personnel assigned to FEPI; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for FEPI; and the substance and administration of the Code of Ethics and other relevant policies of REX and Vident. The Board noted that Vident may utilize soft dollars with regard to FEPI and considered that Vident provides the Board with quarterly reporting
28
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | JULY 31, 2026
REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF
Supplemental Information (unaudited) - continued
in connection with Vident’s use of soft dollars. The Board also considered benefits for REX and Vident in managing FEPI. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board concluded that the standards and practices of REX and Vident relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest, as well as the benefits derived by REX and Vident from managing the FEPI were satisfactory.
After additional consideration of the factors delineated in the memorandum provided by Counsel and further discussion and careful review by the Trustees, the Board determined that the compensation payable under the Advisory Agreements was fair, reasonable and within a range of what could have been negotiated at arms-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances, and they approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year period.
