Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
A.Security Valuation. Equity securities that are 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, LLC (“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 on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices for long and short positions. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For
110 |
YieldMax ETFs
securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from recognized independent pricing agents (“Independent Pricing Agents”) each day that the Funds are open for business.
Debt securities are valued by using an evaluated mean of the bid and asked prices provided by Independent Pricing Agents. The Independent Pricing Agents may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions (if the security is actively traded), broker dealer supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. In arriving at valuations, such methodologies generally consider factors such as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities.
Options are valued at the last quoted sales price. If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, both long and short positions are valued at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices.
FLexible EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) listed on an exchange will typically be valued at a model-based price provided by the exchange at the official close of that exchange’s trading day. However, when the Fund’s option has a same-day market trade price, this same-day market trade price will be used for FLEX Option values instead of the exchange’s model-based price. If the exchange on which the option is traded is unable to provide a model price, model-based FLEX Options prices will additionally be provided by a backup third-party pricing provider. In selecting the model prices, the Sub-Adviser may provide a review of the calculation of model prices provided by each vendor, and may note to such vendors of any data errors observed, or where an underlying component value of the model pricing package may be missing or incorrect, prior to publication by the vendor of the model pricing to the Fund Accounting Agent for purposes of that day’s NAV. If either pricing vendor is not available to provide a model price for that day, the value of a FLEX Option will be determined by the Pricing Committee in accordance with the Valuation Procedures (as defined below). In instances where in the same trading day a particular FLEX Option is both represented in an all-cash basket (either a creation unit or redemption unit), as well as in an in-kind basket (either a creation unit or redemption unit), for valuation purposes that trading day the Fund will default to use the trade price for both instances, rather than using the model price otherwise available for the in-kind transaction.
Under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value will be determined for securities for which quotations are not readily available by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable, of the Adviser, subject to oversight by the Board. 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 Adviser’s Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the net asset value (“NAV”) of its 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 its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation 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; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and would be based on the best information available.
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.

YieldMax ETFs
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 April 30, 2024:

B.Derivative Instruments. As the buyer of a call option, each Fund has a right to buy the underlying reference instrument (e.g., a currency or security) at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options). The Funds may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to call options, exercise them, or permit them to expire. For example, each Fund may buy call options on underlying reference instruments that they intends to buy with the goal of limiting the risk of a substantial increase in their market price before the purchase is effected. Unless the price of the underlying reference instrument changes sufficiently, a call option purchased by each Fund may expire without any value to the Funds, in which case such Funds would experience a loss to the extent of the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs.
As the buyer of a put option, each Fund has the right to sell the underlying reference instrument at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options). Like a call option, the Funds may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to put options, exercise them or permit them to expire. Each Fund may buy a put option on an underlying reference instrument owned by the Funds (a protective put) as a hedging technique in an attempt to protect against an anticipated decline in the market value of the underlying reference instrument. Such hedge protection is provided only during the life of the put option when the Funds, as the buyer of the put option, are able to sell the underlying reference instrument at the put exercise price, regardless of any decline in the underlying instrument’s market price. The Funds may also seek to offset a decline in the value of the underlying reference instrument through appreciation in the value of the put option. A put option may also be purchased with the intent of protecting unrealized appreciation of an instrument when the Sub-Adviser deems it desirable to continue to hold the instrument because of tax or other considerations. The premium paid for the put option and any transaction costs would reduce any short-term capital gain that may be available for distribution when the instrument is eventually sold. Buying put options at a time when the buyer does not own the underlying reference instrument allows the buyer to benefit from a decline in the market price of the underlying reference instrument, which generally increases the value of the put option.
If a put option was not terminated in a closing sale transaction when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying reference instrument remains equal to or greater than the exercise price during the life of the put option, the buyer would not make any gain upon exercise of the option and would experience a loss to the extent of the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs. In order for the purchase of a put option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying reference instrument must decline sufficiently below the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs.
By virtue of the Funds’ investments in option contracts equity ETFs and equity indices, the Funds are exposed to common stocks indirectly which subjects the Funds to equity market risk. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from specific issuers. Equity securities may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Funds invest.
The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules and regulations that require enhanced disclosure regarding derivatives and hedging activity intending to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

The Funds are not subject to master netting agreements; therefore, no additional disclosures regarding netting arrangements are required.
C.Federal Income Taxes. Each of the Funds has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, the Funds intend to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the period ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years. As a registered investment company, the Fund is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if the Fund does not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the fund’s fiscal year). The Fund generally intends to distribute income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize (but not necessarily eliminate) the imposition of such excise tax. The Fund may retain income or capital gains and pay excise tax when it is determined that doing so is in the best interest of shareholders. Management, in consultation with the Board of Trustees, evaluates the costs of the excise tax relative to the benefits of retaining income and capital gains, including that such undistributed amounts (net of the excise tax paid) remain available for investment by the Fund and are available to supplement future distributions. Tax expense is disclosed in the Statements of Operations, if applicable.
As of April 30, 2024, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Delaware; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.

D.Securities 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. Discounts and premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Debt income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
E.Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds intend to pay out dividends and interest income, if any, monthly, and distribute any net realized capital gains to its shareholders at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. If a Fund’s distributions exceed its earnings and profits, all or a portion of the distributions made for a taxable year may be re-characterized as a return of capital to shareholders.
F.Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G.Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding for the Funds, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for trading.
H.Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
I.Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board-approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) that requires, among other things, that the Funds limit their illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of the value of the Funds’ net assets. An illiquid investment is any security that the Funds reasonably expect cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If the Funds should be in a position where the value of illiquid investments held by each Fund exceeds 15% of each Fund’s net assets, the Funds will take such steps as set forth in the Program.
J.Derivatives Transactions. Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, the SEC imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation and cover framework arising from prior SEC guidance for covering derivatives and certain financial instruments currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and treats derivatives as senior securities. Under Rule 18f-4, a fund’s derivatives exposure is limited through a value-at-risk test. Funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount are required to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, subject to oversight by a fund’s board of trustees, and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Funds implemented a Rule 18f-4 Derivative Risk Management Program that complies with Rule 18f-4.
K.Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on the financial statements.
M.Other Regulatory Matters. In October 2022, the SEC adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the funds to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023.There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.

NOTE 3 – Principal Investment Risks |
ARK Innovation ETF (“ARKK”), Tesla, Inc. (TSLA), Apple Inc. (APLY), Nvidia Corporation (NVDA), Amazon.com (AMZN), Alphabet.com (GOOGL), Meta Platforms, Inc. (META), Netflix, Inc. (NFLX), Coinbase Global, Inc.(CONY), The Walt Disney Company (“DIS”), Microsoft Corporation (“MSFT”), Exxon Mobile Corporation (“SQ”), JPMorgan Chase & Co. . (“JPM”), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“XOM”), PayPal Holdings, Inc. (“PYPL”), Block, Inc. (“SQ”), Moderna, Inc. (“MRNA”), Ai, Inc. (“AI”), Microstrategy Inc. (“MSTR”), and ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (“BITO”), together (the “Companies”).
The Funds, excluding ULTY ETF, YMAG ETF and YMAX ETF, invest in options contracts that are based on the value of each underlying stock: OARK ETF (AARK), TSLY ETF (TSLA), APLY ETF (AAPL), NVDY ETF (NVDA), AMZY ETF (AMZN), GOOY ETF (GOOGL), FBY ETF (META), NFLY ETF (NFLX), CONY ETF (COIN), DISO ETF (DIS), MSO ETF (MSFT), XOMO ETF (XOM), JPMO ETF (JPM), AMDY ETF (AMD), PYPY ETF (PYPL), SQY ETF (SQ), MRNY ETF (MRNY), AIYY ETF (AI), MSTY ETF (MSTR), and YBIT ETF (BITO). This subjects the Funds to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of each underlying stock, even though it does not. By virtue of the Funds’ investments in options contracts that are based on the value of each underlying stock, the Fund may also be subject to the following risks:
ARKK Risk. The OARK ETF invests in options contracts that are based on the value of an ETF, specifically ARKK. This subjects the OARK ETF to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of ARKK, as well as the types of instruments in which ARKK invests, even though it does not. The value of ARKK will fluctuate over time based on fluctuations in the values of the securities held by ARKK, which may be affected by changes in general economic conditions, expectations for future growth and profits, interest rates and the supply and demand for those securities. Brokerage, tax and other expenses may negatively impact the performance of ARKK and, in turn, the value of the OARK ETF’s shares. Since ARKK is an ETF, it is also subject to the same structural risks as the OARK ETF, which is an ETF.
Counterparty Risk. The Funds are subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared derivatives”). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or broker. Since the Funds are not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house (“clearing members”) can participate directly in the clearing house, the Funds will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Funds will make payments (including margin payments) to and receive payments from a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any options contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Funds with any clearing member as margin for options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of each Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Funds might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy, as the Funds would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the clearing member’s customers for the relevant account class. The Funds are also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on each Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. This risk is greater for the Funds as it seeks to hold options contracts on a single security, and not a broader range of options contracts, which may limit the number of clearing members that are willing to transact on each Fund’s behalf. If a clearing member defaults the Funds could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Funds with the clearing member. If the Funds cannot find a clearing member to transact with on each Fund’s behalf, the Funds may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Funds’ investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Funds’ other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than directly investing in securities. When the Funds use derivatives, there may be an imperfect correlation between the value of their underlying instrument and the derivative, which may prevent the Funds from achieving their investment objective. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested. In addition, each Fund’s investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued) |

YieldMax ETFs
•Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events. For the Fund in particular, the value of the options contracts in which it invests are substantially influenced by the value of each Fund’s underlying instrument. The Funds may experience substantial downside from specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Funds may expire worthless. The options held by the Funds are exercisable at the strike price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly move with the value of the underlying instrument. However, prior to such date, the value of an option generally does not increase or decrease at the same rate at the underlying instrument. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in the values of options contracts and the underlying instrument, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Funds will be determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. Additionally, as the Funds intend to continuously maintain indirect exposure to each Funds’ underlying instrument through the use of options contracts, as the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it will enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” If the expiring options contracts do not generate proceeds enough to cover the cost of entering into new options contracts, the Funds may experience losses.
Indirect Investment in TSLA, AAPL, NVDA, AMZN, GOOGL, META, NFLX, COIN, DIS, MSFT, XOM, JPM, AMD, PYPL, SQ, MRNA, AI, MSTR, and BITO Risk. The Companies are not affiliated with the Trust, the Funds, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, or their respective affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way and has no obligation to consider your Shares in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of Shares. Investors in the Funds will not have voting rights and will not be able to influence management of the Companies but will be exposed to the performance of the underlying stocks. Investors in the Funds will not have rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying stocks but will be subject to declines in the performance of the underlying stocks. The ULTY ETF provides direct and/or indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of select U.S. listed securities.
Underlying YieldMax™ ETF Risks (YMAG and YMAX ETF Only). The YMAG ETF and YMAX ETF will invest their assets in Underlying YieldMax™ ETFs, so each Fund’s investment performance is likely to be directly related to the performance of the Underlying YieldMax™ ETFs. Each Fund’s NAV will change with changes in the value of the Underlying YieldMaxTM ETFs. An investment in the Funds entails more costs and expenses than the combined costs and expenses of direct investments in the Underlying YieldMaxTM ETFs. Each Underlying YieldMaxTM ETF is subject to the principal risks outlined for the Funds (including ETF Risks), along with the following additional risks:
•Underlying Security Risk. Each Underlying YieldMax™ ETF invests in options contracts that are based on the value of its Underlying Security. This subjects each Underlying YieldMax™ ETF to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of its Underlying Security, even though it does not. As a result, each Underlying YieldMax™ ETF is subject to the risks associated with the industry of the corresponding Underlying Issuer.
•Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Each Underlying YieldMax™ ETF’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or Underlying YieldMax™ ETF’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The Underlying YieldMax™ ETFs investment strategies are options-based. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.
•Counterparty Risk. Each Underlying YieldMax™ ETF faces counterparty risk through its investments in options contracts, held via clearing members due to its non-membership in clearing houses, with the risk exacerbated if a clearing member defaults or if limited clearing members are willing to transact on its behalf. This risk is also magnified as the Underlying YieldMax™ ETF primarily focuses on options contracts on a single security, potentially leading to losses or hindrance in implementing its investment strategy if adverse situations with clearing members arise.
As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your principal investment in the Funds. The Funds are subject to the above principal risk, as well as other principal risks which may adversely affect each Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet its objective. For more information about the risks of investing in the Funds, see the section in the Funds’ Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Fund — Principal Risks of Investing in The Fund.”

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
The Adviser serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund (the “Advisory Agreement”), and, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, provides investment advice to the Funds and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds, subject to the direction and control of the Board. The Adviser is also responsible for trading portfolio securities for the Funds, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions. The Adviser provides oversight of the Sub-Adviser and review of the Sub-Adviser’s performance.

The ULTY ETF pays at an annualized rate of 1.14%, and the YMAG ETF and YMAX ETF pays at an annualized rate of 0.29%. Out of the Management Fee, the Adviser is obligated to pay or arrange for the payment of substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other related services necessary for the Funds to operate. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay, or require the Sub-Adviser to pay, all expenses incurred by the Funds except for interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Funds under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (collectively, “Excluded Expenses”).The Management Fees incurred are paid monthly to the Adviser. Management fees for the period ended April 30, 2024 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
The Sub-Adviser serves as sub-adviser to the Funds, pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund’s portfolio, including determining the securities purchased and sold by the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board. The Sub-Adviser is paid a fee by the Adviser, which is calculated and paid monthly. The Sub-Adviser has agreed to assume the Adviser’s obligation to pay all expenses incurred by the Funds, except for Excluded Expenses and, to the extent applicable, pay the Adviser a minimum fee. For assuming the payment obligation, the Adviser has agreed to pay to the Sub- Adviser the profits, if any, generated by each Fund’s Management Fee. Expenses incurred by the Funds and paid by the Sub-Adviser include fees charged by Tidal, as defined below.
Tidal ETF Services LLC (“Tidal”), a Tidal Financial Group company and an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Funds’ administrator and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and management services for the Funds. Tidal coordinates the payment of each Fund’s related expenses and manages the Trust’s relationships with its various service providers.

NOTE 7 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in large blocks of shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units 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 participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued) |
The Funds currently offer one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for the Funds are $300, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% and for Redemption Units of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units and Redemption Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Fund for transaction costs associated with the cash transactions. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed in the capital shares transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.
NOTE 8 – RECENT MARKET EVENTS |
U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including rising inflation, uncertainty regarding central banks’ interest rate increases, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions, political events, the war between Russia and Ukraine, significant conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East, and the impact of COVID-19. The global recovery from COVID-19 may last for an extended period of time. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so. The Middle East conflict has led to significant loss of life, damaged infrastructure and escalated tensions both in the region and globally. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. As a result, the risk environment remains elevated. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Fund in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund’s investment objective, but there can be no assurance that they will be successful in doing so.
NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. The Funds have determined that there are no subsequent events that would need to be recorded or disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements.

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Funds’ shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Funds. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The actual examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from November 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024 for the OARK ETF, TSLY ETF, APLY ETF, NVDY ETF, AMZY ETF, GOOY ETF, FBY ETF, NFLY ETF, CONY ETF, DISO ETF, MSFO ETF, XOMO ETF, JPMO ETF, AMDY ETF, PYPY ETF, SQY ETF, and MRNY ETF, and from the commencement of operations for the rest of the Funds (see below) to April 30, 2024. The hypothetical example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from November 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024.

Actual Expenses
The first line of the following tables provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. The examples include, but are not limited to, unitary fees. However, the examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related 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 following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 Funds 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 the Funds’ shares. Therefore, the second line of the following tables 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 “YieldMax ETFs”, each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”)
Pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), at meetings held on the above referenced dates, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Tidal Trust II (the “Trust”) considered the approval of:
•the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Tidal Investments LLC (f/k/a Toroso Investments, LLC) (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of each Fund; and
•an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (a “Sub-Advisory Agreement) between the Adviser and ZEGA with respect to the YieldMax ETFs (the Sub-Advisory Agreements together with the Advisory Agreements, referred to as the “Agreements”).
Pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the Agreements must be approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Agreements or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In preparation for such meeting, the Board requested and reviewed a wide variety of information from the Adviser and Sub-Advisers.
In reaching its decision, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered all factors it believed relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each Fund’s shareholders by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser; (ii) the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from services to be provided to the Funds, including any fall-out benefits; (iv) comparative fee and expense data for each Fund in relation to other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (v) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows and whether the advisory fees for the Fund reflects these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund; and (vi) other financial benefits to the Adviser or Sub-Adviser and their affiliates resulting from services rendered to the Funds. The Board’s review included written and oral information furnished to the Board prior to and at the meeting held on December 19, 2023. Among other things, each of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers provided responses to a detailed series of questions, which included information about the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s operations, service offerings, personnel, compliance program and financial condition. The Board then discussed the written and oral information that it received before the meeting, and the Adviser’s oral presentations and any other information that the Board received at the meeting, and deliberated on the renewal of the Agreements in light of this information.
The Independent Trustees were assisted throughout the contract review process by independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the renewal of the Agreements, and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the Agreements were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each Fund. The Independent Trustees conferred amongst themselves and independent legal counsel in executive sessions both with and without representatives of management.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided. The Trustees considered the scope of services to be provided under the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements. In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub- Adviser, the Board reviewed the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s compliance infrastructure and its financial strength and resources. The Board also considered the experience of the personnel of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser working with ETFs. The Board also considered other services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to each Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser based on their experience, personnel, operations and resources.

BASIS FOR TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
Historical Performance. The Board noted that the Funds had not yet commenced operations and that therefore there was no prior performance to review.
Cost of Services Provided, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the proposed advisory fees for each Fund and compared them to the management fees and total operating expenses of its Peer Group. The Board noted that the comparisons to the total expense ratios were the most relevant comparisons, given the fact that the advisory fee for each Fund is a “unified fee.”
The Board noted the importance of the fact that the proposed advisory fee for each Fund is a “unified fee,” meaning that the shareholders of the Fund pay no expenses except for interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the “1940 Act”), litigation expenses, non-routine or extraordinary expenses, and the unitary management fee payable to the Adviser. The Board also noted that the Adviser was responsible for compensating the Trust’s other service providers and paying the Fund’s other expenses (except as noted above) out of its own fees and resources. The Board further noted that because the Funds are new, it was difficult to estimate the profitability of each Fund to the Adviser. The Board, however, considered collateral or “fall-out” benefits that the Adviser and its affiliates may derive as a result of their relationship with the Funds.
The Board noted that because the Funds are new, it also was difficult to estimate whether the Fund would experience economies of scale. The Board noted that the Adviser will review expenses as each Fund’s assets grow. The Board determined to evaluate economies of scale on an ongoing basis if the Funds achieved asset growth.
The Board also reviewed the proposed sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Adviser for its services under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered this fee in light of the services the Sub- Adviser provides as investment sub-adviser to the Funds. The Board determined that the proposed fee reflected an appropriate allocation of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser given the work performed by each firm. The Board also considered that each fund has one or more sponsors that have agreed to assume the payment of any fund expenses above the level of the unitary fee. The Board considered that pursuant to these arrangements, if fund expenses, including a payment to the Adviser of a certain amount, fall below the level of the unitary fee, the Adviser would pay any remaining portion of the unitary fee to the sponsor out of its profits. The Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee for each Fund was reasonable in light of the services rendered.
The Board also considered that the sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid out of the Adviser’s unified fee and represents an arm’s-length negotiation between the Adviser and the Sub- Adviser. For these reasons, the Trustees determined that the profitability to the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Fund was not a material factor in their deliberations with respect to consideration of approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that, because the sub-advisory fee was paid by the Adviser out of its unified fee, any economies of scale would not benefit shareholders and, thus, were not relevant for the consideration of the approval of the sub- advisory fee.
Conclusion. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously: (a) concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that each of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s fees are reasonable in light of the services that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser will provide to each Fund; and (c) agreed to approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial term of two years.

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Rule 22e-4”), Tidal ETF Trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of its following series (the “Funds”):
YieldMax AI Option Income Strategy ETF
YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETF
YieldMax Magnificent 7 Fund of Option Income ETF
YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF
YieldMax Ultra Option Income Strategy ETF
YieldMax Bitcoin Option Income Strategy ETF
The Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). The Program seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management for the Funds and to protect the Funds shareholders from dilution of their interests. The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of Tidal Investments LLC, each Fund’s investment adviser, as the program administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator has further delegated administration of the Program to a member of its compliance team. The Program Administrator has also delegated certain responsibilities under the Program to the investment sub-adviser of the Funds; however, the Program Administrator remains responsible for the overall administration and operation of the Program. The Program Administrator is required to provide a written annual report to the Board regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program, including the operation of the highly liquid investment minimum, if applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
On August 15, 2023, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s written annual report for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 (the “Report”). The Program assesses liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions. The risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of a fund’s investments, limiting the amount of illiquid investments and utilizing various risk management tools and facilities available to a fund, among other means. The Trust has engaged the services of ICE Data Services, Inc., a third-party vendor, to provide daily portfolio investment classification services to assist in the Program Administrator’s assessment. The Report noted that no highly liquid investment minimum is required for the Funds because the Funds qualify as primarily highly liquid funds (as defined under Rule 22e-4). The Report noted that there were no breaches of the restrictions on acquiring or holding greater than 15% illiquid investments of the Funds during the review period. The Report confirmed that each Fund’s investment strategies remained appropriate for an open-end fund and that the Funds were able to meet requests for redemptions without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Funds. The Report noted that no material changes had been made to the Program during the review period. The Program Administrator determined that the Program complies with the requirements of Rule 22e-4 and is reasonably designed and operating effectively.
All of the Funds commenced operations after June 30, 2023 and were not a part of the Report but have adopted the Program upon commencement of operations.
