NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The WealthTrust DBS Long Term Growth ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of ETF Opportunities Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which was organized on March 18, 2019 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The offering of the Fund’s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund commenced operations on December 6, 2021.
The Fund’s objective is to seek long-term growth of capital with a secondary objective of providing dividend income.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
Security Valuation
Generally, the Fund’s domestic securities (including underlying ETFs which hold portfolio securities primarily listed on foreign (non-U.S.) exchanges) are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each security’s primary exchange. Securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale shall be valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such exchange. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Although the Board is ultimately responsible for fair value determinations under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s assets to WealthTrust Asset Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) as the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Fund’s policies and procedures. Securities that are

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJanuary 31, 2024 (unaudited)

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
not traded or dealt in any securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally shall be valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask price on such over-the- counter market.
The Fund has a policy that contemplates the use of fair value pricing to determine the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund when market prices are unavailable as well as under special circumstances, such as: (i) if the primary market for a portfolio security suspends or limits trading or price movements of the security; and (ii) when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded that is likely to have changed the value of the security. Since most of the Fund’s investments are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, it is anticipated that the use of fair value pricing will be limited.
When the Fund uses fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of the Fund, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Valuation Designee believes accurately reflects fair value. Any method used will be approved by the Board and results will be monitored to evaluate accuracy. The Fund’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing.
The Fund has adopted fair valuation accounting standards that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund held no Level 3 securities at any time during the six months ended January 31, 2024.
Security Transactions and Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is determined generally on specific identification basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Long-term capital gain distributions from underlying funds are classified to realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules.
Accounting Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of investment income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
Federal Income Taxes
The Fund has complied and intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Fund’s tax returns. The Fund has no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense as incurred.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. For the six months ended January 31, 2024, there were no such reclassifications.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually by the Fund. The Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of a calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Creation Units
The Fund issues and redeems shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000 shares known as “Creation Units.” Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) will be required to pay to Citibank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) a fixed transaction fee (“Creation Transaction Fee”) in connection with creation orders that is intended to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee charged by the
12
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
WealthTrust DBS Long Term Growth ETF
Notes to Financial Statements - continuedJanuary 31, 2024 (unaudited)
Custodian for each creation order is $250. Authorized Participants wishing to redeem shares will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (“Redemption Transaction Fee”) to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units. The standard Redemption Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Redemption Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each redemption order is $250.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed an agreement with the Fund’s principal underwriter (the “Distributor”) with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”). Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. The following table discloses the Creation Unit breakdown based on the NAV as of January 31, 2024:
| | Creation |
| Creation Transaction Fee |
| Value |
WealthTrust DBS Long Term | | 10,000 | | $250 | | $236,900 |
To the extent contemplated by a participant agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, by the time as set forth in a participant agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the participant agreement. A participant agreement may permit the Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of the Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral.

Officers and Trustees Indemnification
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.
NOTE 2 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Advisor currently provides investment advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investments.

NOTE 4 – DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL
Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended January 31, 2024 and the year ended July 31, 2023 were as follows:
| | Six months ended |
| Year ended |

NOTE 5 – TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and trade at market prices rather than at NAV. Shares of the Fund may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV. The Fund will issue and redeem shares at NAV only in large blocks of 10,000 shares (each block of shares is called a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed for cash and/or in-kind for securities. Individual shares may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
All orders to create Creation Units must be placed with the Fund’s distributor or transfer agent either (1) through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC (“Clearing Process”), a clearing agency that is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), by a “Participating Party,” i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the Clearing Process; or (2) outside the Clearing Process by a DTC Participant. In each case, the Participating Party or the DTC Participant must have executed an agreement with the Distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”); such parties are collectively referred to as “APs” or “Authorized Participants.” Investors should contact the Distributor for the names of Authorized Participants. All Fund shares, whether created through or outside the Clearing Process, will be entered on the records of DTC for the account of a DTC Participant.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT APPROVAL
At a meeting held on September 26-27, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the ETF Opportunities Trust (the “Trust”) considered the approval of the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and WealthTrust Asset Management, LLC (“WealthTrust”) and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between WealthTrust and Toroso Investments, Inc. (“Toroso”), each with respect to the WealthTrust DBS Long Term Growth ETF (“WealthTrust Fund”). The Board discussed the arrangements between WealthTrust and the Trust and WealthTrust and Toroso with respect to the WealthTrust Fund. The Board reflected on its discussions with the representatives from WealthTrust earlier in the Meeting regarding the manner in which the WealthTrust Fund was managed and the roles and responsibilities of WealthTrust and Toroso under the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement (collectively, the “WealthTrust Advisory Agreements”).
The Trustees reviewed a memorandum from counsel to the Trust (“Trust Counsel”) that addressed the Trustees’ duties when considering the continuation of the WealthTrust Advisory Agreements and the responses of WealthTrust and Toroso to requests for information from Trust Counsel on behalf of the Board. A copy of this memorandum had been provided to the Trustees in advance of the Meeting. The Trustees also reviewed the responses of WealthTrust and Toroso to requests for information from Counsel on behalf of the Board and noted that the responses included a copy of financial information for WealthTrust and Toroso, an expense comparison analysis for the WealthTrust Fund and comparable mutual funds and ETFs, and the WealthTrust Advisory Agreements.

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

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the WealthTrust Advisory Agreements and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. In deciding whether to approve the WealthTrust Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
The nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by WealthTrust and Toroso.
In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities of WealthTrust and Toroso under their respective WealthTrust Advisory Agreements. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by each of WealthTrust and Toroso to the WealthTrust Fund, including, without limitation, WealthTrust’s process for formulating investment recommendations and the processes of both WealthTrust and Toroso for assuring compliance with the WealthTrust Fund’ investment objectives and limitations; Toroso’s processes for trade execution and broker-dealer selection for portfolio transactions; the coordination of services by WealthTrust for the WealthTrust Fund among the service providers; and the anticipated efforts of WealthTrust to promote the WealthTrust Fund and grow its assets. The Board considered: the staffing, personnel, and methods of operating of WealthTrust and Toroso; the education and experience of their personnel; and information provided regarding their compliance programs, policies and procedures. The Board considered the methods to be utilized by WealthTrust in supervising Toroso as a sub-adviser to the WealthTrust Fund and the relationship between WealthTrust and Toroso. After reviewing the foregoing and further information from WealthTrust and Toroso, the Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services to be provided by WealthTrust and Toroso was satisfactory and adequate for the WealthTrust Fund.
The investment performance of the WealthTrust Fund.
The Board reviewed the WealthTrust Fund’s performance. They discussed the reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”) and compared the performance of the WealthTrust Fund with the performance of its benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index (“S&P 500”), the funds in its Morningstar category, the Large Blend category, (“Category”), and a peer group selected from its Category by Broadridge (“Peer Group”). The Board noted that the WealthTrust Fund had underperformed the S&P 500 Index, Category median, and Peer Group median for the twelve-month period ended July 31, 2023.

After a detailed discussion of the WealthTrust Fund’s performance, the Board concluded, in light of all the facts and circumstances, that the investment performance of the WealthTrust Fund performance was satisfactory, but noted that it would continue to monitor the WealthTrust Fund’s performance.
The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by WealthTrust and Toroso from the relationship with the WealthTrust Fund.
In this regard, the Board considered the financial condition of WealthTrust and the level of commitment to the WealthTrust Fund by WealthTrust. The Board also considered the assets and expenses of the WealthTrust Fund, including the nature and frequency of advisory and sub-advisory fee payments. The Board noted the information on profitability provided by WealthTrust and Toroso. The Trustees considered WealthTrust Fund’s unitary fee structure, and compared the unitary fee of the WealthTrust Fund to the fees of the Category and Peer Group The Trustees noted that the WealthTrust Fund’s gross and net expense ratio and gross and net advisory fee were each higher than the median of its Category and Peer Group. The Trustees also considered the split of the advisory fees paid to WealthTrust compared to those paid to Toroso and the respective services provided by each to the WealthTrust Fund. The Board also considered that Toroso represented that its fee for sub-advising the WealthTrust Fund is consistent with the range of fees charged to other clients. After further consideration, the Board concluded that the profitability and fees to be paid to WealthTrust (who in turn pays Toroso) were within an acceptable range in light of the services to be rendered by WealthTrust and Toroso.
The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the WealthTrust Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the WealthTrust Fund’ investors.
The Trustees considered the advisory fee schedule of the WealthTrust ETF, which includes breakpoints in the fee rate applicable to net assets in excess of specified levels, and how possible benefits from economies of scale may be realized by shareholders. The Board noted that the WealthTrust ETF’s unitary fee structure limits the shareholders’ exposure to fee increases. The Trustees also considered the sub-advisory fee schedule of the WealthTrust Fund. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the extent to which possible economies of scale may be shared for the benefit of shareholders of the WealthTrust ETF.

Possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.
In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the advisory and sub-advisory personnel assigned to the WealthTrust Fund; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the WealthTrust Fund; the substance and administration of the Code of Ethics and other relevant policies of WealthTrust and Toroso. The Board noted that WealthTrust and Toroso have each represented that it does not utilize soft dollars or commission recapture with regard to the WealthTrust Fund. The Board also considered potential benefits for WealthTrust and Toroso in managing the WealthTrust Fund. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board concluded that the standards and practices of WealthTrust and Toroso relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest, as well as the benefits to be derived by each of WealthTrust and Toroso from managing the WealthTrust Fund were satisfactory.
After additional consideration of the factors delineated in the memorandum provided by Counsel and further discussion and careful review by the Trustees, the Board determined that the compensation payable under the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement was fair, reasonable and within a range of what could have been negotiated at arms-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances, and they approved the WealthTrust Advisory Agreements.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)
Fund Expenses Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) 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 mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period, August 1, 2023 and held for the six months ended January 31, 2024.
Actual Expenses Example
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values 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 below provides information about hypothetical account values 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 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. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
