	Notes to Financial Statements
	December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

Absolute Shares Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 7, 2013 and is authorized to have multiple segregated series or portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of the following six separate investment portfolios (each, a “Fund” or, individually and, together, the “Funds”):

WBI BullBear Value 3000 ETF

WBI BullBear Yield 3000 ETF

WBI BullBear Quality 3000 ETF

WBI Power Factor^® High Dividend ETF

Each Fund is classified as diversified for purposes of the 1940 Act.

The end of the reporting period for the Funds is December 31, 2022, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal period from July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 for all funds (the “current fiscal period”).

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance for the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

A. Valuation. All equity securities, including domestic common stocks, preferred stocks, exchange traded funds and exchange traded notes, that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Select Market and Nasdaq Capital Market (collectively “Nasdaq”) are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices is used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price is used.

Investments in mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) per share.

Shares in privately offered liquidity funds are valued at their NAV per share.

Short-term securities that have maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates fair value.

Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued by the Trust’s valuation committee based on the valuation procedures adopted by the Board (the “Valuation Procedures”) and information it receives from the Sub-Advisor and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services”). When a security is “fair valued”, consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Valuation Procedures. The use of fair value pricing by the Funds may cause the NAV of their shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuations methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; including the Funds’ Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments. The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of the end of the current fiscal period:

As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds did not recognize any transfers to or from Level 3.

B. Certain Risks. Some risks apply to all Funds, while others are specific to the investment strategy of certain Funds. Each Fund may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks. This section discusses certain common principal risks encountered by the Funds. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Fund Shares” or “Shares”.

ETF and Other Investment Companies Risk — When a Fund invests in another ETF or other investment company (e.g., mutual fund, closed-end fund, business development company), it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of such investment company’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF or other investment company generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities and other assets held by the ETF or other investment company. A Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs and other exchange-listed investment companies. Additionally, a Fund will be indirectly exposed to the risks of the portfolio assets held by an ETF or other investment company, including but not limited to those of ETNs, equity options, derivatives, currencies, index, leverage, and replication management.

Market Risk — Either the stock market as a whole or the value of a Fund asset or an investment held by an exchange-traded product (“ETP”) in which a Fund invests may go down, resulting in a decrease in the NAV of the Fund or its Shares or a decrease in the market price of the Shares.

Equity Securities Risk — Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. If a Fund or an ETP holds common stock equivalents of any given issuer, the Fund or ETP will generally be exposed to greater risk than if the Fund or ETP held preferred stocks and debt obligations of such issuer.

Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk — Foreign investments may carry risks associated with investing outside the United States, such as currency fluctuation, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information, or unfavorable political or legal developments. Foreign securities can be more volatile than domestic (U.S.) securities. Securities markets of other countries are generally smaller than U.S. securities markets. Many foreign securities may also be less liquid than U.S. securities, which could affect the Funds’ investments. Investments in emerging markets may have more risk because the markets are less

	Absolute Shares Trust
	Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
	December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

developed and less liquid as well as being subject to increased economic, political, regulatory, or other uncertainties. Also, as foreign and emerging markets decline, investors tend to exit these markets in unison.

Fluctuation of Net Asset Value — The NAV of the Shares will fluctuate with changes in market value of the Funds’ holdings.

Shares are Not Individually Redeemable — Shares are only redeemable by the Funds at NAV if they are tendered in large blocks known as “Creation Units” which are expected to be worth in excess of $1 million each. Only Authorized Participants (“APs”) may engage in such creation and redemption transactions directly with the Funds. Individual Shares may be sold on a stock exchange at their current market prices, which may be less, more, or equal to their NAV. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will be maintained for the Shares.

C. Federal Income Taxes. The Funds’ policy is to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds plan to file U.S. Federal and various state and local tax returns.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

D. Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted using the effective interest method over the lives of the respective debt instruments.

E. Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are declared and paid by WBI BullBear Value 3000 ETF, WBI BullBear Quality 3000 ETF, and WBI Power Factor^® High Dividend ETF, on a quarterly basis. A distribution to shareholders from net investment income Is declared and paid by WBI BullBear Yield 3000 ETF on a monthly basis. Distributions from net realized gains on securities are normally declared and paid by all Funds on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

F. Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE ARCA, Inc., the exchange where the Funds’ shares are listed, is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to the Fund’s NAV per share.

G. Guarantees and Indemnifications. The Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

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

I. Subsequent Events. In preparing these financial statements, the Advisor has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the period subsequent to December 31, 2022 that materially impacted that amounts or disclosures in the Funds financial statements.

J. New Accounting Pronouncements and Other Matters. In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management has adopted the necessary procedures of the new rules on the Funds’ financial statements.

K. Liquidity Risk Management Program. The Fund has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources. The Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the appointment of representatives of the Valuation Committee as Liquidity Risk Management administrators, who are responsible for the program’s administration and oversight and for reporting to the Board.

NOTE 3 — MANAGEMENT FEE

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Advisor, the Advisor serves as the investment advisor, makes investment decisions for each Fund, and manages the investment portfolios of the Funds, subject to the supervision of and policies of the Board. Under the Advisory Agreement for the Funds the Advisor may retain an investment sub-advisor for the Funds, subject to approval by the Board and Fund shareholders. Under a sub-advisory agreement, (“Sub-Advisory Agreement”) the Sub-Advisor serves as the investment sub-advisor and is responsible for the day to day management of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board. For the services the Sub-Advisor provides to each Fund, the Sub-Advisor receives a fee that is equal to 0.85% per year of the average daily net assets (calculated daily and paid monthly) of WBI BullBear Value 3000 ETF, WBI BullBear Yield 3000 ETF, and WBI BullBear Quality 3000 ETF. For the services the Sub-Adviser provides to WBI Power Factor^® High Dividend ETF, the Sub-Advisor receives a fee that is equal to 0.55% per year of average daily net assets, which is calculated daily and paid monthly. The Advisor is paid 0.04% of each Fund’s average daily net assets (calculated daily and paid monthly) from the management fees collected by the Sub-Advisor.

NOTE 4 — PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE

The Sub-Advisor utilized non-affiliated broker dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Funds. Currently, these non-affiliated broker dealers charge an explicit commission for these transactions, a portion of which is designated towards “soft dollar credits” that can be used to provide the Sub-Advisor with certain research and brokerage services as described in the safe harbor provisions under Section 28(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. During this period, the Funds paid $0.025 per share in explicit commission to these non-affiliated broker dealers for their execution services, of which $0.0125 per share was designated by the non-affiliated broker dealers to a pool of soft dollar credits for use by the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor participates in commission sharing arrangements (“CSAs”) that are consistent with the requirements of Section 28(e). Research and brokerage services furnished through CSAs may be used by the Sub-Advisor in servicing any or all of the firm’s clients and will be used for client accounts other than those that pay commissions to the broker-dealer providing the research or brokerage services.

NOTE 5 — EXPENSE LIMITATION AND REIMBURSEMENT

The Sub-Advisor has entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement (an “Agreement”) with the Trust to waive the fees and reimburse expenses of each Fund until at least October 31, 2023 (the “Expiration Date”) so that the total operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees, dividend payments on short sales, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with U.S. GAAP, other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, and amounts, if any, payable pursuant to a plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940) and organizational costs (the “Operating Expenses”) of WBI Power Factor^® High Dividend ETF is limited to 0.70% and each of the remaining Funds is limited to 1.25% of average net assets (the “Expense Cap”). The Sub-Advisor may discontinue its obligations under the Agreements at any time in its sole discretion after the Expiration Date. The Funds have agreed to repay the amounts borne by the Sub-Advisor under the Agreements within the three year period after the Sub-Advisor bears the expense, when and if requested by the Sub-Advisor, to the extent the Operating Expenses of the Funds are less than the lower of the Expense Cap and any expense limitation agreement then in effect with respect to the Operating Expenses. The repayment may not raise the level of Operating Expenses of the Funds in the month of repayment to exceed the Expense Cap.

The following table shows the remaining waived and/or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery during the current fiscal period. The Sub-Advisor may recapture a portion of the unreimbursed amounts no later than the dates stated:

	June 30, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 30, 2025		June 30, 2026
WBI BullBear Value 3000 ETF		—		48,759		58,675		51,978

	December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

The Funds must pay their current ordinary operating expense before the Sub-Advisor is entitled to any reimbursement of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon the Board of Trustees’ review and approval.

NOTE 6 — COMPLIANCE AND ADMINISTRATION SERVICING AGREEMENTS

The Trust has entered into an agreement with Foreside Compliance Services, LLC (“Foreside”), whereby Foreside agrees to provide a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), as described in Rule 38a-1 of the 1940 Act.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (the “Administrator”) serves as the independent administrator and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Custodian”) serves as the custodian to the Funds. Under the Fund Administration Servicing, Fund Accounting Servicing, and Transfer Agent Servicing Agreements, the Administrator is responsible for keeping financial books and records of the Funds and generally managing the administrative affairs and transfer agency services.

NOTE 7 — SECURITIES LENDING

The Funds may lend up to 33¹/₃% of the value of the securities in their portfolios to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by U.S Bank N.A. (“the Custodian” and “Securities Lending Agent”). The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest, except in the case of loans of foreign securities which are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars and shall be collateralized in the amount equal to 105% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan plus accrued interest. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the fair value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand. During the current fiscal period, Funds had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash equivalents. The cash collateral is invested by the Custodian in accordance with approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines require the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. A Fund could also experience delays in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Fund is indemnified from this risk by contract with the Securities Lending Agent.

At period end, the value of the securities on loan and payable for collateral due to broker were as follows:

Fund	Value of Securities on Loan		Collateral Received*
WBI BullBear Value 3000 ETF	$	4,294,619	$	4,392,842
WBI BullBear Yield 3000 ETF		9,286,506		9,455,389

WBI Power Factor^® High Dividend ETF		22,119

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The Funds are subject to various netting arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with counterparties. The arrangements allow the Funds to close out and net their total exposure to counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The following is a summary of the arrangements subject to offsetting during the current fiscal period.

NOTE 10 — SHARE TRANSACTIONS

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

The Trust has entered into an agreement with NYSE Group, Inc. to list the Funds’ (“Shares”) on NYSE Arca, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NYSE Group, Inc. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds will issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, typically 50,000 Shares, called “Creation Units.” Each Fund’s typical creation unit size is as follows:

Fund	Creation Unit
WBI BullBear Value 3000 ETF	50,000
WBI BullBear Yield 3000 ETF	50,000
WBI BullBear Quality 3000 ETF	50,000
WBI Power Factor^® High Dividend ETF	50,000

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

Transactions in each Fund’s shares were as follows:

	Expense Examples
	For the Period Ended December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values based on a hypothetical return and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

^	The dollar amounts shown as expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value during the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent six-month period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.
