1. ORGANIZATION
Impact Shares Trust I (the “Trust”), is an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated May 19, 2016. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company with three separate exchange-traded funds or series. The financial statements herein and the related notes are those of Impact Shares YWCA Women’s Empowerment ETF (the “Women’s ETF”), Impact Shares NAACP Minority Empowerment ETF (the “Minority ETF”) and Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF (the “Sustainable Development ETF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds seek to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, track the total return performance of the Morningstar® Women’s Empowerment Index, the Morningstar® Minority Empowerment Index and the Morningstar® Societal Development Index (the “Underlying Indices” or “Index”), respectively. The Funds are classified as “non-diversified” funds under the 1940 Act. Impact Shares, Corp. (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser for the Funds and is subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Adviser is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Funds, the Funds’ business affairs and other administrative matters. The Adviser is a nonprofit corporation organized under the laws of Texas and is tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Women’s ETF commenced operations on August 24, 2018.
The NAACP Minority ETF commenced operations on July 18, 2018.
The Sustainable Development ETF commenced operations on September 20, 2018.
Shares of the Funds (“Shares”) are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, 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, each of which currently comprises 25,000 Shares, called “Creation Units”. Creation Units will be issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in the Funds’ Underlying Indices. Once created, Shares will trade in a secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
Use of Estimates — The Funds are registered investment companies under Accounting Standard Codification in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 materially differ from those estimates.
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. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using spot currency exchange rates. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. 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 fair value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, if the Funds’ Fair Value Committee concludes it approximates fair value after taking into account factors such as credit, liquidity and interest rate conditions as well as issuer specific factors. Foreign securities listed on foreign exchanges are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not

calculate NAV. As a result, the fair value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or redeem shares of the Fund. 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 seek 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 and implemented 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. In addition, the Funds may fair value their securities if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ securities that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Funds calculate their net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If the Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Funds calculate their net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. 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 .In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of their 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). |
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the period ended December 31, 2020 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.
For the period ended December 31, 2020, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
Federal Income Taxes — It is the Funds’ intention to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
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 provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken 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 3 year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. As of and during the period ended December 31, 2020, 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. For the period ended December 31, 2020, the Funds did not recognize any interest or penalties.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds intend to declare and pay dividends of net investment income quarterly and to pay any capital gain distributions on an annual basis. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Idle cash may be swept into various time deposits and is classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
Cash Overdraft Charges — Per the terms of an agreement with the Bank of New York Mellon, if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge. Cash overdraft charges are included in other fees on the Statements of Operations.
Creation Units — The Funds issue and redeem shares (“Shares”) at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of Shares currently comprised of 25,000 Shares (each such block of Shares for the Funds are called a “Creation Unit” or multiples thereof). Purchasers of Creation Units at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee of $500 per transaction. The fee is 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 (“Authorized Participants”) and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption transaction fee of $500 per transaction to the custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day. Creations and redemptions are also subject to an additional variable charge of up to 1% of the net asset value per Creation Unit, inclusive of the standard transaction fee, for (i) in-kind creations or redemptions effected outside the normal Clearing Process, (ii) in whole or partial cash creations, (iii) in whole or partial cash redemptions or (iv) non-standard orders. The variable component is primarily designed to cover non-standard charges, e.g., brokerage, taxes, foreign exchange, execution, market impact and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction. In all cases, the Transaction Fee will be limited in accordance with the requirements of the SEC applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities. The Fund may determine not to charge the variable portion of a Transaction Fee on certain orders when Impact Shares has determined that doing so is in the best interests of Fund shareholders, e.g., for redemption orders that facilitate the rebalance of the Fund’s portfolio in a more tax efficient manner than could be achieved without such order. The variable portion of a Transaction Fee may be higher or lower than the trading expenses incurred by a Fund with respect to the transaction. No creation unit and/or transaction fees are retained by the Funds.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed an Authorized Participant Agreement with the Funds’ 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.
On August 14, 2020, the Board of Trustees approved a temporary reduction in the size of a creation unit from 50,000 shares to 25,000 shares for the period from November 12, 2019 through December 31, 2019 for each Fund. The size of a creation unit for a Fund may be changed from time to time in the future if determined to be in the best interests of a Fund by the President of the Fund. The President of the Fund has determined that it is in the best interests of the Funds that the size of a creation unit in each Fund remain at 25,000 shares indefinitely.

If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed in cash, a higher transaction fee will be charged. The following table discloses the Creation Unit breakdown based on the NAV as of December 31, 2020:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Creation Unit Shares | | Creation Transaction Fee | | | Value | | | Redemption Transaction Fee | |
Impact Shares YWCA Women’s Empowerment ETF | | 25,000 | | $ | 500 | | | $ | 726,000 | | | $ | 500 | |
Impact Shares NAACP Minority Empowerment ETF | | 25,000 | | | 500 | | | | 720,000 | | | | 500 | |
Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF | | 25,000 | | | 500 | | | | 632,750 | | | | 500 | |
Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other asset 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 settle 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.
Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
3. AGREEMENTS

In accordance with the Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of their average net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. For the period ended December 31, 2020, no fees were charged by the Distributor under the Plan.

5. TAX INFORMATION
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. 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 distributable earnings or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the year ended June 30, 2020 and period ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:

6. RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS
As with all exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), a shareholder of the Fund is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. A more complete description of principal risks is included in the prospectus under the heading “Principal Risks”.
Under normal circumstances, the Funds will invest at least 80% of their total assets in securities of the Index, which reflects the performance of an investable universe of publicly-traded companies that directly or indirectly provide services or support to ETFs, including but not limited to the management, servicing, trading or sale of ETFs (“ETF Activities”).
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. As with any investment company, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal.
Asset Class Risk (All Funds) - The securities in an Underlying Index or in a Fund’s portfolio may underperform the returns of other securities or indices that track other countries, regions, industries, groups of industries, markets, asset classes or sectors. Various types of securities or indices tend to experience cycles of outperformance and underperformance in comparison to general securities markets.
Brexit (Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF only) - In June 2016, the United Kingdom approved a referendum to leave the European Union (commonly known as “Brexit”). On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom left the European Union and entered a transition period that ended on December 31, 2020. Although the United Kingdom and the European Union signed a formal separation agreement prior to the end of the transition period, at present the political and economic consequences of Brexit remain uncertain. Given the size and importance of the United Kingdom’s economy, uncertainty about its legal, political, and economic relationship with the remaining member states of the European Union may continue to be a source of instability. Moreover, other countries may seek to withdraw from the European Union

and/or abandon the euro, the common currency of the European Union. The ultimate effects of these events and other socio-political or geopolitical issues are not known but could profoundly affect global economies and markets. Whether or not a Fund invests in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries, these events could negatively affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments.
Cash Transaction Risk (All Funds) - The Funds can effect creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than for in-kind securities. ETFs generally are able to make in-kind redemptions and avoid being taxed on gain on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. Because the Funds currently can effect redemptions for cash, rather than for in-kind securities, they may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. The Funds may recognize a capital gain on these sales that might not have been incurred if the Funds had made a redemption in-kind, and this may decrease the tax efficiency of the Funds compared to ETFs that utilize an in-kind redemption process.
Commodities Risk (All Funds) - Commodities markets historically have been extremely volatile, and the performance of securities and other instruments that provide exposure to those markets therefore also may be highly volatile. The commodities markets may fluctuate widely based on a variety of factors. These include changes in overall market movements, domestic and foreign political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism, changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/or investor expectations concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates and/or investor expectations concerning inflation rates and investment and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds. Commodity-linked derivative instruments have a high degree of price variability and are subject to rapid and substantial price changes. Commodity-linked derivative instruments may employ leverage, which creates the possibility for losses greater than the amount invested. A Fund’s investments in commodity-linked instruments may bear on or be limited by each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company.
Counterparty Risk (All Funds) - The Funds may engage in transactions in securities and financial instruments that involve counterparties. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty (the other party to a transaction or an agreement or the party with whom a Fund executes transactions) to a transaction with a Fund may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest, settlement or margin payments, or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the affected Fund’s income or the value of its assets may decrease. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. In an attempt to limit the counterparty risk associated with such transactions, the Funds conduct business only with financial institutions judged by the Adviser to present acceptable credit risk.
Derivatives Risk (All Funds) - Derivatives Risk is a combination of several risks, including the risks that: (1) an investment in a derivative instrument may not correlate well with the performance of the securities or asset class to which the Fund seeks exposure, (2) derivative contracts, including options, may expire worthless and the use of derivatives may result in losses to the Fund, (3) a derivative instrument entailing leverage may result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested, (4) derivatives not traded on an exchange may be subject to credit risk, for example, if the counterparty does not meet its obligations (see also “Counterparty Risk”), and (5) derivatives not traded on an exchange may be subject to liquidity risk and the related risk that the instrument is difficult or impossible to value accurately. As a general matter, when the Fund establishes certain derivative instrument positions, such as certain futures and options contract positions, it will segregate liquid assets (such as cash, U.S. Treasury bonds or commercial paper) equivalent to the Fund’s outstanding obligations under the contract or in connection with the position. In addition, recent legislation has called for a new regulatory framework for the derivatives market. The impact of the new regulations are still unknown, but has the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or the Fund’s ability to use derivatives, and may adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by the Fund as well as the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective through the use of such instruments.
Emerging Markets Risk (Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF only) - Investing in issuers located in or tied economically to emerging markets is subject to the same risks as foreign market investments, generally to a greater extent. The Fund will be subject to these risks to an even greater extent, to the extent the Fund invests in issuers
23

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
exposed to countries defined as “low income” or “lower middle income” by the World Bank or as a “Least Developed Country” by the United Nations. These countries typically confront severe structural impediments to sustainable development and are highly vulnerable to economic and environmental shocks and have low levels of human assets. Emerging markets may have additional risks including greater fluctuations in market values and currency exchange rates; increased risk of default; greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability; increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers to which the Fund may be exposed; increased risk of embargoes or economic sanctions on a country, sector, or issuer; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non-U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest, and other income, and on the Fund’s ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; lower levels of liquidity; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions; greater risk of issues with share registration and safe custody; unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and longer settlement; and difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments.
Additionally a foreign issuer is not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk (All Funds) - The price movement of an exchange-traded fund may not exactly track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company.
Equity Investing Risk (All Funds) - The market prices of equity securities owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that may directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, non-compliance with regulatory requirements, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services. The values of equity securities also may decline due to general industry or market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
Ethnic Diversity Risk (Impact Shares NAACP Minority Empowerment ETF only) - The returns on a portfolio of securities that excludes companies that are not ethnically diverse may trail the returns on a portfolio of securities that includes companies that are not ethnically diverse. Investing only in a portfolio of securities that are ethnically diverse may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain types of investments and may adversely impact the Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor in the market.
Fee Risk (All Funds) - Because the fees paid by a Fund to Impact Shares are based on the average daily value of the total assets of such Fund, less all accrued liabilities of such Fund (other than the amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage), Impact Shares has a financial incentive to cause the Funds to utilize leverage, which creates a conflict of interest between Impact Shares, on the one hand, and the shareholders of the Funds, on the other hand.
Foreign Securities Risk (Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF only) - Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve certain risks not involved in domestic investments (for example, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates (for non-U.S. securities not denominated in U.S. dollars); future foreign economic, financial, political and social developments; nationalization; exploration or confiscatory taxation; smaller markets; different trading and settlement practices; less governmental supervision; and different accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements) that may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies. These risks are magnified for investments in issuers tied economically to emerging markets, the economies of which tend to be more volatile than the economies of developed markets. In addition,
24
Impact Shares Trust I
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
investments by the Fund in non-U.S. securities may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries on dividends, interest, capital gains, or other income or proceeds. Those taxes will reduce the Fund’s yield on any such securities.
Futures Contracts Risk (All Funds) - Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a price, date and time specified when the contract is made. Funds, such as the Funds, that use futures contracts, which are a type of derivative, are subject to the risk of loss caused by unanticipated market movements. In addition, there may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in the prices of futures contracts and the value of their underlying instruments or indexes and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain futures contracts.
Gender Diversity Risk (Impact Shares YWCA Women’s Empowerment ETF only) - The returns on a portfolio of securities that excludes companies that are not gender diverse may trail the returns on a portfolio of securities that includes companies that are not gender diverse. Investing only in a portfolio of securities that are gender diverse may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain types of investments and may adversely impact the Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor in the market.
Geographic Risk (Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF only) - To the extent the Fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a large percentage of the Fund’s assets, the Fund will be subject to the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance and the Fund’s shares may be subject to increased price volatility.
Illiquid Securities Risk (All Funds) - Illiquid investments may be difficult to resell at approximately the price they are valued in the ordinary course of business within seven days. When investments cannot be sold readily at the desired time or price, a Fund may have to accept a much lower price, may not be able to sell the investment at all or may be forced to forego other investment opportunities, all of which may adversely impact a Fund’s returns. Illiquid investments also may be subject to valuation risk.
Index Performance Risk (All Funds) - Each Fund is linked to an index maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Funds or the Adviser. There can be no guarantee or assurance that the methodology used by the third party provider to create the index will result in the Funds achieving high, or even positive, returns. Further, there can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the index or the daily calculation of the index will be free from error. It is also possible that the value of the index may be subject to intentional manipulation by third-party market participants. The particular indices used by the Funds may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on the performance of the Funds.
Industry Concentration Risk (All Funds) - Because each Fund may invest 25% or more of the value of its assets in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries, the Fund’s performance largely depends on the overall condition of such industry or group of industries and the Fund is susceptible to economic, political and regulatory risks or other occurrences associated with that industry or group of industries.
Intellectual Property Risk (All Funds) - The Funds rely on licenses that permit the Adviser to use the Underlying Indices and associated trade names, trademarks and service marks, as well as the Partner Nonprofits’ names and logos (the “Intellectual Property”) in connection with the investment strategies of each respective Fund and/or in marketing and other materials for each Fund. Such licenses may be terminated, and, as a result, the relevant Fund may lose its ability to use the Intellectual Property. In the event a license is terminated or the license provider does not have rights to license the Intellectual Property, the operations of such Fund may be adversely affected.
Limited Fund Size Risk (All Funds) - The Funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve or maximize investment and operational efficiencies and remain viable. If a Fund fails to achieve sufficient scale, it may be liquidated.
Management Risk (All Funds) - Management risk is the risk associated with the fact that the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The Adviser may be incorrect in its assessment of the intrinsic value of companies whose securities the Fund holds, which may result in a decline in the value of Fund shares and failure to achieve its
25
Impact Shares Trust I
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
investment objective. The Fund’s portfolio manager uses qualitative analyses and/or models. Any imperfections or limitations in such analyses and models could affect the ability of the portfolio manager to implement strategies. The Adviser has limited experience managing an ETF. The relative lack of experience of the Adviser may increase the Fund’s management risk.
Market Price Variance Risk (All Funds) - Fund shares are listed for trading on NYSE (the “Exchange”) and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at prevailing market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the NAV and supply and demand for shares. As a result, the trading prices of Shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. The Adviser cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, the Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained in the long-term. In addition, the securities held by the Fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than NYSE. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when NYSE is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid-ask spreads and the resulting premium or discount to the Shares’ NAV may widen. Further, secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods, which could cause a material decline in the Fund’s NAV. In times of market stress, market makers and authorized participants may step away from their respective roles in making a market in Fund shares or in executing purchase and redemption orders, which could lead to variances between the market price of Fund shares and the underlying value of those shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for Fund shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, which could lead to differences between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares. During periods of high market volatility, a Fund share may trade at a significant discount to its NAV, and in these circumstances certain types of brokerage orders may expose an investor to an increased risk of loss. A “stop order,” sometimes called a “stop-loss order,” may cause a Fund share to be sold at the next prevailing market price once the “stop” level is reached, which during a period of high volatility can be at a price that is substantially below NAV. By including a “limit” criteria with your brokerage order, you may be able to limit the size of the loss resulting from the execution of an ill-timed stop order. The Fund’s shares may be listed or traded on U.S. and non-U.S. stock exchanges other than the U.S. stock exchange where the Fund’s primary listing is maintained, and may otherwise be made available to non-U.S. investors through funds or structured investment vehicles similar to depositary receipts. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s shares will continue to trade on any such stock exchange or in any market or that the Fund’s shares will continue to meet the requirements for listing or trading on any exchange or in any market. The Fund’s shares may be less actively traded in certain markets than in others, and investors are subject to the execution and settlement risks and market standards of the market where they or their broker direct their trades for execution. Certain information available to investors who trade Fund shares on a U.S. stock exchange during regular U.S. market hours may not be available to investors who trade in other markets, which may result in secondary market prices in such markets being less efficient.
The Fund’s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by those purchasing and redeeming directly with the Fund.
Mid-Cap Company Risk (All Funds) - Investing in securities of mid-cap companies may entail greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies. Mid-cap companies tend to have more narrow product lines, more limited financial resources and a more limited trading market for their stocks, as compared with larger companies. As a result, their stock prices may decline significantly as market conditions change.
Non-Diversification Risk (All Funds) - Due to the nature of the Funds’ investment strategies and their non-diversified status (for purposes of the 1940 Act), the Funds may invest a greater percentage of their respective assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a “diversified” fund, and accordingly may be more vulnerable to changes in the value of those issuers’ securities. Since the Funds invest in the securities of a limited number of issuers, the Funds are particularly exposed to adverse developments affecting those issuers, and a decline in the market value of a particular security held by a Fund is likely to affect such Fund’s performance more than if such Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers. Although the Funds will be “non-diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Funds intend to comply with the diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Code in order to be eligible to qualify as a regulated investment company.
26

December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Operational and Technology Risk (All Funds) - Cyber-attacks, disruptions, or failures that affect the Fund’s service providers, index providers, Authorized Participants (as defined below), market makers, counterparties, market participants, or issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders, including by causing losses for the Fund or impairing Fund operations.
Options Risk (All Funds) - Options, such as covered calls and covered puts, are subject to the risk that significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets.
Passive Investment Risk (All Funds) - The Funds are not actively managed and may be affected by a general decline in market segments included in the applicable Underlying Indices. The Funds invest in securities included in, or representative of, each Fund’s respective Underlying Index regardless of such security’s investment merits. The Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including during declining markets.
Securities Market Risk (All Funds) - The value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting particular companies or the securities markets generally. A general downturn in the securities market may cause multiple asset classes to decline in value simultaneously. Many factors, including terrorism, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious disease including epidemics or pandemics such as the recent COVID-19 outbreak can affect this value and you may lose money by investing in the Fund. These conditions (and their aftermath) have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, including earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and weather-related phenomena generally, as well as the spread of infectious disease including epidemics or pandemics such as the recent COVID-19 outbreak, can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. To the extent the Fund takes significant positions in one or more specific sectors, countries or regions, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with such sector(s), country(ies) or region(s) to a greater extent than would be a more broadly diversified fund.
Small-Cap Company Risk (All Funds) - Investing in the securities of small-cap companies either directly or indirectly through investments in ETFs, closed-end funds or mutual funds may pose greater market and liquidity risks than larger, more established companies, because of limited product lines and/or operating history, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. In addition, the securities of such companies are typically more volatile than securities of larger capitalization companies.
Swaps Risk (All Funds) - Investments in swaps involve both the risks associated with an investment in the underlying investments or instruments (including equity investments) and counterparty risk. In a standard over-the-counter (“OTC”) swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns, differentials in rates of return or some other amount calculated based on the “notional amount” of predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. Swaps can involve greater risks than direct investments in securities, because swaps may be leveraged and OTC swaps are subject to counterparty risk (e.g., the risk of a counterparty’s defaulting on the obligation or bankruptcy), credit risk and pricing risk (i.e., swaps may be difficult to value). Swaps may also be considered illiquid. Certain swap transactions, including interest rate swaps and index credit default swaps, may be subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading, although the swaps in which the Fund will invest are not currently subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading. The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques, risk analyses and tax planning different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The value of swaps, like many other derivatives, may move in unexpected ways and may result in losses for the Fund.
Tracking Error Risk (All Funds) - The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index. Because the Fund employs a representative sampling strategy, the Fund may experience tracking error to a greater extent than a fund that seeks to replicate an index. The Adviser may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to correlate to that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Because the Underlying Index rebalances monthly but the Fund is not obligated to do the same, the risk of tracking error may increase following the rebalancing of the Underlying Index.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses
December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
All ETFs have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund you incur an Advisory fee. In addition to the Advisory fee, a shareholder may pay brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses), if any. It is important for you to understand the impact of these ongoing costs of your investment returns. Shareholders may incur brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of Fund shares, which are not reflected in these examples.
The following examples use the annualized expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020) (unless otherwise noted below).
The table below illustrates each Fund’s cost 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.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
December 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Trust has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Program and has designated the Adviser (through its Liquidity Risk Management Committee consisting of the Funds’ President and Chief Compliance Officer) as the Program’s administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Funds.
At a meeting of the Board held on November 17, 2020, the Trustees received a report from the Chief Compliance Officer on behalf of the Program Administrator addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation. The Chief Compliance Officer’s report noted that the Program Administrator had determined that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk since the Program was implemented. The Program Administrator’s report noted that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Program Administrator’s report further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding a Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Funds may be subject.
