(1) Included in Level 3 are two securities with total value of $1,229,318. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments and disclosures of significant unobservable inputs are presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets. Management has concluded that Level 3 investments are not material in relation to net assets.
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities. There were transfers between Level 1 and Level 3 during the period when foreign equity securities were fair valued using other observable market based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment was principally traded. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers into and out of all Levels at the end of the reporting period.

The investment objective of the Cambria Trinity ETF is to seek to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Cambria Trinity Index. The Fund inception date is September 7, 2018. The Fund commenced operations on September 10, 2018.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded either on the NYSE Arca, Inc or CBOE BZX Exchange, Inc. 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 50,000 Shares, called "Creation Units." Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day.
The Funds are an investment company and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.
Use of Estimates — The Funds are investment companies in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).Therefore, the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies. The preparation of 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 and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and could have a material impact to the Funds.
Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”)), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid.
For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents, if available. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seeks to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Board. The Funds’ fair value procedures are implemented through a fair value committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2018 (Continued)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| ● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| ● | Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
| ● | Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
For the period ended October 31, 2018, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations. net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations.
Futures Contracts — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF utilized futures contracts during the period ended October 31, 2018. The Fund’s investment in futures contracts are designed to enable the Fund to more closely approximate their performance of their benchmark indices. Cambria Value and Momentum ETF chose to invest in futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Fund’s returns. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract. A margin deposit was made upon entering into futures contracts and is included in Cash at Broker on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, the futures contract involves the risk that Cambria Value and Momentum ETF could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.
Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2018 (Continued)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
It is the Fund’s policy to present the gross variation margin payable and the gross variation margin receivable of the future contracts separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as Cambria Value and Momentum ETF does not have a master netting agreement with the counterparty to the futures contracts. Refer to the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF Schedule of Investments for details regarding open future contracts as of October 31, 2018. The fair value of equity futures contracts held in the Fund can be found on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the captions variation margin receivable. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts are reported in the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF Schedule of Investments. Realized gains or losses on equity rate futures contracts related to the Fund is recognized on the Statement of Operations as part of net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts and any change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recognized on the Statements of Operations as net change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts.
Options Written/Purchased — The Cambria Value and Momentum ETF, Cambria Tail Risk ETF and Cambria Core Equity ETF may invest in equity options contracts for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities that a Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in fair market value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. A Fund may also invest in equity option contracts to enhance its returns. When the Fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on affecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss.
The risk in writing a call option is a Fund may give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in purchasing an option is a Fund may pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes. Finally, the risk exists that losses on written options could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Cambria Tail Risk ETF and Cambria Core Equity ETF had options contracts as of October 31, 2018, as disclosed in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments. The value of the option contracts held in the Funds can be found on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Any realized and change in unrealized gains or losses can be found on the Statements of Operations.
Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend to qualify as “regulated investment companies” under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to their shareholders.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period.
The Funds did not record any tax provisions in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2018, the Funds did not have a liability 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. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Offering Expenses — All offering expenses of the Trust were borne by the Investment Adviser and are not subject to future recoupment. As a result, organizational and offering expenses are not reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Expenses — Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the underlying funds.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents may consist of cash balances and time deposits maintained or held at Brown Brothers Harriman. Such amounts may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limitations.
Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income received from the underlying funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as income distributions in the Statements of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the underlying funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statements of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are on the basis of specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Amortization and accretion is calculated using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method over the holding period of the security. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds generally pay out dividends from their net investment income, if any, quarterly, and distributes their net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
Creation Units — The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV in groups of 50,000 shares called creation units (“Creation Units”). Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) must pay a creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is typically a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a Redemption Fee per transaction to the custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.
The distributor has entered into participant agreements with certain broker-dealers and others that allow those parties to be Authorized Participants and to subscribe for and redeem shares of the Funds. Such Authorized Participants may from time to time hold, of record or beneficially, a substantial percentage of the Funds’ shares outstanding, act as executing or clearing broker for investment transactions on behalf of the Fund and/or serve as counterparty to derivative transactions with the Fund.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of the Funds 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 DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a participant agreement with the distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from 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.

In these circumstances, the Fund may require the Authorized Participant to maintain with the Trust an amount up to 115% and/or 125% of the daily mark-to-market value of the missing Deposit Securities.
Illiquid Securities — A security is considered illiquid if the Fund reasonably expects that the investment cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Valuations of illiquid securities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market value for these securities existed.
3. OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Funds are required to disclose the impact of offsetting assets and liabilities represented in the statements of assets and liabilities to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on its financial position for recognized assets and liabilities. These recognized assets and liabilities are financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement or meet the following right of setoff criteria: the amounts owed by the Funds to another party are determinable, the Funds has the right to set off the amounts owed with the amounts owed by the other party, the Funds intends to set off, and the Funds right of setoff is enforceable at law.
As of October 31, 2018, the Funds financial instruments and derivative instruments are not subject to a master netting arrangement.
4. RELATED PARTIES
Investment Advisory Agreement — The Investment Adviser is responsible for overseeing the management and business affairs of the Funds, and has discretion to purchase and sell securities in accordance with the Funds’ objectives, policies, and restrictions.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS
As with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investments could lose money, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or long periods of time. An investment is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Funds are subject to the principal risks set forth in their prospectuses under the heading ‘‘Principal Risks’’. Some of these risks, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return, or ability to meet its investment objective, are set forth below.
Cash Redemption Risk — The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to effect redemptions, in whole or in part, for cash. As a result, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize investment income and/or capital gains or losses that it might not have recognized if it had completely satisfied the redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may be less tax efficient if it includes such a cash payment than if the in-kind redemption process was used exclusively (i.e., securities are distributed as payment of redemption proceeds). In addition, cash redemptions may incur higher brokerage costs than in-kind redemptions and these added costs may be borne by the Fund and negatively impact Fund performance.
Cambria Investment Management

October 31, 2018 (Continued)
6. PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued)
Cyber Security Risk — The Fund, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a breach in cyber security, including cyber-attacks. A breach in cyber security, intentional or unintentional, may adversely impact the Fund in many ways, including, but not limited to, disruption of the Fund’s operational capacity, loss of proprietary information, theft or corruption of data maintained online or digitally, denial-of-service attacks on websites or network resources, and the unauthorized release of confidential information. Cyber-attacks affecting the Fund’s third-party service providers, including Cambria, the custodian, and the transfer agent, may subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches and adversely impact the Fund. For instance, cyber-attacks may impact the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of confidential business information, impede trading, cause the Fund to incur additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures, subject the Fund to regulatory fines or other financial losses, and/or cause reputational damage to the Fund. Cyber security breaches of market makers, Authorized Participants, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests could also have material adverse consequences on the Fund’s business operations and cause financial losses for the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund and its service providers have established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to address cyber security risks, prevent cyber-attacks and mitigate the impact of cyber security breaches, there are inherent limitations on such plans and systems. In addition, the Fund has no control over the cyber security protections put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Derivatives Risk — Derivatives are financial instruments that have a value which depends upon, or is derived from, a reference asset, such as one or more underlying securities, pools of securities, indexes, rates or currencies. Derivatives may result in investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest; in other words, a small investment in a derivative may have a large impact on Fund performance. The successful use of derivatives generally depends on the ability to predict market movements. The use of these instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than those normally required for purchasing and selling securities. If the Adviser uses a derivative instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, or if the derivative instrument does not perform as expected, these strategies may significantly reduce the Fund’s return. The Fund could also experience losses if it is unable to close out a position because the market for an instrument or position is or becomes illiquid.
Emerging Markets Risk — Investments in securities and instruments traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to these securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments or investments in more developed international markets. For example, emerging markets may be subject to, among other risks, greater market volatility; lower trading volume and liquidity; greater social, political and economic uncertainty; governmental controls on foreign investments and limitations on repatriation of invested capital; lower disclosure, corporate governance, auditing and financial reporting standards; fewer protections of property rights; restrictions on the transfer of securities or currency; and settlement and trading practices that differ from U.S. markets and markets of more developed countries. Each of these factors may impact the ability of the Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund Shares and cause the Fund to decline in value.
Dividend Paying Security Risk — Securities that pay high dividends as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing these companies to underperform companies that do not pay high dividends. Also, changes in the dividend policies of companies owned by the Funds and the capital resources available for these companies’ dividend payments may adversely affect the Funds.
Equity Investing Risk — An investment in the Funds involves risks similar to those of investing in any Fund holding equity securities, such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued)
Exchange-Traded Funds and Exchange-Traded Products (“ETP”) and Investment Companies Risk — The risks of investing in securities of ETFs, ETPs and investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the underlying ETF, ETP or investment company invests. In addition, with such investments, the Funds bear its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the underlying entity. As a result, the Funds’ operating expenses may be higher and performance may be lower.
Fixed Income Risk — A decline in an issuer’s credit rating may cause a decrease in the value of its fixed income securities and an increase in their investment risk and volatility. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Funds may “call” (or repay) the security before its stated maturity, and the Funds may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Funds’ income. The market value of fixed income securities generally changes in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities is likely to decrease. Similarly, if interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities is likely to increase.
Foreign Investment Risk — Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Investments in or exposures to foreign securities by each Fund are subject to special risks, including risks associated with foreign securities generally, including differences in information available about issuers of securities and investor protection standards applicable in other jurisdictions; capital controls risks, including the risk of a foreign jurisdiction imposing restrictions on the ability to repatriate or transfer currency or other assets; currency risks; political, diplomatic and economic risks; regulatory risks; and foreign market and trading risks, including the costs of trading and risks of settlement in foreign jurisdictions.
Futures Contracts Risk — Risks associated with the use of futures contracts include the following: (i) an imperfect correlation between movements in prices of index futures contracts and movements in the value of the stock index that the instrument is designed to simulate; and (ii) the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Investments in futures may expose the Fund to leverage.
High Yield Securities Risk — High yield securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality are subject to the increased risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations in the Funds. High yield securities are subject to a greater risk of default and investments in them are inherently speculative. The secondary markets in which high yield securities are traded may be less liquid and more volatile than the market for higher grade securities.
Index Risk — Unlike many investment companies, the Index Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund’s respective Underlying Index. Therefore, an Index Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.
Management Risk — The Cambria Global Momentum ETF, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF, Cambria Sovereign Bond ETF, Cambria Tail Risk ETF and Cambria Core Equity ETF (the “Active Funds”) are actively managed using proprietary investment strategies and processes. The Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Global Value ETF, Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF, Cambria Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF and Cambria Trinity ETF (the “Index Funds”) are passively managed, meaning that they are designed to track the performance of an underlying index. There can be no guarantee that these strategies and processes will produce the intended results and no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. This could result in the Fund’s underperformance compared to other funds with similar investment objectives.
Non-Correlation Risk — The returns of the Index Funds may not match the return of their Underlying Indexes for a number of reasons. For example, each Index Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Index Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Index Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Index Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued)
Options Risk — The value of the Funds’ positions in options fluctuates in response to changes in the value of the underlying index. The Funds also risk losing all or part of the cash paid for purchasing put options. Writing index the Cambria Tail Risk ETF only purchases put options, the Fund’s losses from its exposure to put options is limited to the amount of premiums paid to the option seller. To the extent that the Cambria Core Equity ETF reduces its put option holdings relative to the number of call options sold by the Fund, the Fund’s ability to mitigate losses in the event of a market decline will be reduced.
Premium Discount Risk — The Shares may trade above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of Shares, however, will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Shares on the Exchange. The trading price of Shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. Cambria cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities held by the Fund. However, given that Shares can be purchased and redeemed in large blocks of Shares, called Creation Units (unlike shares of closed-end funds, which frequently trade at appreciable discounts from, and sometimes at premiums to, their NAV), and the Fund’s portfolio holdings are fully disclosed on a daily basis, Cambria believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of Shares should not be sustained, but that may not be the case.
Secondary Market Trading Risk — Investors buying or selling Shares in the secondary market will generally pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Shares. In addition, secondary market investors will also incur the cost of the difference between the price that an investor is willing to pay for Shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which an investor is willing to sell Shares (the “ask” price). This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the “spread” or “bid/ask spread.” The bid/ask spread varies over time for Shares based on trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower if the Fund’s Shares have more trading volume and market liquidity and higher if the Fund’s Shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Further, increased market volatility may cause increased bid/ask spreads.
Although the Shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable. Further, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
Sovereign Debt Securities Risk — Investments in sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt obligations involve special risks not present in corporate debt obligations. The issuer of the sovereign debt or the authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Sovereign Bond ETF may have limited recourse in the event of a default. During periods of economic uncertainty, the market prices of sovereign debt, and the Sovereign Bond ETF’s net asset value, may be more volatile than prices of U.S. debt obligations. In the past, certain non-U.S. markets have encountered difficulties in servicing their debt obligations, withheld payments of principal and interest and declared moratoria on the payment of principal and interest on their sovereign debts.
7. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. 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. Based on experience, the Investment 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.
8. INCOME TAXES
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily attributable to foreign currency and sales of passive foreign investment companies. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income(loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

9. REGULATORY MATTERS
On August 17, 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to Regulation S-X. These changes are effective for periods after November 5, 2018. The updates to Registered Investment Companies were mainly focused on simplifying the presentation of distributable earnings by eliminating the need to present the components of distributable earning on a book basis in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities. The update also impacted the presentation of undistributed net investment income and distribution to shareholders on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The amounts presented in the current Statement of Changes in Net Assets represent the aggregated total distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains, except for distributions classified as return of capital which are still presented separately. The disaggregated amounts from the prior fiscal year are broken out below if there were both distributions from net investment income, net realized gains and/or return of capital, otherwise, the amount on the current Statement of Changes for the prior fiscal year end represents distributions of net investment income:

10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In August 2018, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance includes additions and modifications to disclosures requirements for fair value measurements. For public entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the financial statements and disclosures.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no adjustments were required to the financial statements.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses
(Unaudited)
All Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, brokerage fees and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the ETF’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples do not reflect any brokerage commissions that you may pay on purchases and sales of Shares. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (May 1, 2018 to October 31, 2018).
The table below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.

Board Considerations in Approving the Cambria Trinity ETF Investment Advisory Agreement
At an in-person meeting held on June 12, 2018, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, met to discuss, among other things, the organization resolutions related to Cambria Trinity ETF (the “Fund”), and to consider, and vote on, the approval of the investment advisory agreement between Cambria and the Trust, with respect to the Fund (the “Agreement”). In preparation for its deliberations, the Board requested and reviewed written responses from Cambria to a due diligence questionnaire circulated on the Board’s behalf. During its deliberations, the Board received an oral presentation from Cambria and was assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel.
In evaluating the Agreement, the Board reviewed information regarding Cambria’s personnel, operations, and financial condition. In addition, the Board considered the evaluation process of Cambria to be ongoing and, in this regard, the Board considered information about Cambria derived from prior meetings of the Board concerning Cambria’s performance and services with respect to other Funds as part of the 15(c) review process for the Fund. At the meeting held on June 12, 2018, the Board considered: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by Cambria; (2) the investment performance of Cambria with respect to existing Funds with similar investment strategies and/or the same portfolio managers; (3) the costs of the services provided by Cambria and the profitability to Cambria derived from its relationship with the Fund; (4) the advisory fee and total expense ratio of the Fund compared to a relevant peer group of funds; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether the advisory fee would enable investors to share in the benefits of economies of scale; (6) benefits (such as soft dollars, if any) to be derived by Cambria and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; (7) Cambria’s reputation, expertise and resources in the financial markets; (8) Cambria’s investment management personnel; (9) Cambria’s operations and financial condition; (10) Cambria’s compliance program; and (11) other factors the Board deemed relevant.
The discussion immediately below outlines in greater detail the materials and information presented to the Board in connection with its consideration and approval of the Agreement, and the conclusions made by the Board at the meeting held on June 12, 2018 when determining to approve the Agreement for an initial two-year term.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed the nature, quality and extent of the overall services to be provided by Cambria to the Fund. In particular, the Board considered the responsibilities of Cambria under the terms of the Agreement, recognizing that Cambria had invested significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and the Fund, obtaining the necessary exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), arranging service providers, exploring various sales channels, and assessing the appeal for the Fund’s investment strategy. In addition, the Board considered that Cambria is responsible for providing investment advisory services to the Fund, monitoring compliance with the Fund’s objectives, policies and restrictions, and carrying out directives of the Board. The Board also considered the services provided by Cambria in the oversight of the Trust’s distributor, administrator, transfer agent, and custodian. The Board also discussed and considered the role of Cambria Indices, LLC as index provider to the Fund. In addition, the Board evaluated the integrity of Cambria’s personnel, the professional qualifications and experience of the portfolio management team in managing assets, their experiences with Cambria’s services, and the adequacy of Cambria’s resources and financial condition. Based on its review, within the context of its full deliberations, the Board determined that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, and expected to be provided, to the Fund by Cambria.
Performance. The Board noted that, since the Fund had not yet commenced investment operations, the Fund had no investment performance. The Board considered, however, that Cambria has been relatively successful in advising other ETFs, including other series of the Trust, using different quantitative investment strategies. The Board also discussed and considered the performance track record, investment experience, professional background and qualifications of the Fund’s portfolio manager. The Board further noted that Cambria had performed extensive research on the strategy underlying the Fund.

Approval of Advisory Agreements & Board Considerations

Comparative Fees and Expenses. The Board considered that Cambria proposed charging a unitary advisory fee of 0.00% to the Fund. The Board also considered the Fund, a fund of funds, would incur acquired fund fees and expenses, some of which would be paid to affiliated Cambria Funds. The Trustees noted that under the unitary fee structure proposed, Cambria, and not the Fund, would be responsible for paying many of the expenses necessary to service the Fund, including those of other service providers. In considering the advisory fee and proposed expense ratio, the Board reviewed and considered the fee in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by Cambria to the Fund. With respect to the Fund’s proposed advisory fee and estimated total expense ratio, the Board considered how the proposed fee and expense ratio compared to the advisory fees and expense ratios of ETFs with comparable strategies, noting how differences between fund strategies might impact fees. The Board noted that although the Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee is lower than the advisory fee of each of its peer funds, the Fund’s average total expense ratio might be higher than the expense ratio of its peer funds. The Board also considered Cambria’s representation that it would continue to monitor the Fund’s expense ratio as compared to those of its peer group and seek to ensure that the Fund remains competitive. Based on its review, in the context of its full deliberations, the Board concluded that the Fund’s proposed advisory fees appeared reasonable in light of the services to be rendered.
Costs and Profitability. The Board then considered the estimated profits to be realized by Cambria in connection with providing services to the Fund. The Board noted that since the Fund had not yet launched, it was difficult to estimate how profitable it would be to Cambria. The Board, however, reviewed estimated profit and loss information provided by Cambria with respect to the Fund. In particular, the Board noted Cambria’s representation of its long-term commitment to the success of the Fund and its unitary fee structure under which it bears the risk that Fund expenses might increase. The Board further considered the costs associated with the personnel, systems and equipment necessary to manage the Fund and to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements adopted by the SEC and other regulatory bodies as well as other expenses Cambria would pay in accordance with the Agreement. Based on its review, in the context of its full deliberations, the Board concluded that Cambria’s expected profitability with respect to the Fund appeared reasonable in light of the services Cambria will render to the Fund.
Other Benefits. The Board then considered the extent to which Cambria will derive ancillary benefits from the Fund’s operations. The Board discussed the potential benefits to Cambria resulting from its ability to use the Fund’s assets to engage in soft dollar transactions. The Board noted that Cambria did not have any affiliates that would benefit from the Fund’s operations. The Board also reviewed the degree to which Cambria may receive compensation from other Cambria ETFs based upon the Fund’s investment in other Cambria ETFs. The Board also considered that Cambria, not the Fund, pays any licensing fees attributable to its underlying index to Cambria’s affiliated index provider.
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by the Fund as its assets grow larger, including the extent to which this is reflected in the level of fees to be charged. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fee for the Fund is 0.00%, which cannot include breakpoints, but that it was premature - before the commencement of investment operations - to evaluate potential economies of scale. The Board, thus, determined to monitor potential economies of scale as assets managed by the Fund grow larger.
Conclusion. In approving the Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Fund counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to its consideration of the Agreement. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, the Board determined, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the advisory arrangement, as outlined in the Agreement, was fair and reasonable in light of the services to be performed, expenses to be incurred, and such other matters as the Board considered relevant. In light of the foregoing, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Agreement for the Fund.

Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per share at which a Fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. A Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The Market Price of a Fund generally fluctuates in response to changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand. The data represented in the table below represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of a NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
