INSPIRE ETF ANNUAL REPORT
SHAREHOLDER LETTER (unaudited) |
Dear Shareholders:
We are honored and privileged to present you with the Annual Report for the Inspire Investing suite of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) as of November 30, 2021.
The past year has seen recovery in the economy, spikes in cases of Covid due to additional variants, and capital markets that have continued their upward momentum in the face of inflation and geo-political tensions. However, we are exceedingly grateful to look back at 2021 and see the protection and provision that God gave us at Inspire as well as our advisors and clients. We could not do what we do without you and we sincerely appreciate the trust you have placed in Inspire by investing in one or more of our ETFs.
BLES – Inspire Global Hope ETF
As the global economy continued to recover from the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, BLES had strong double digit returns over the past twelve months ended 11-30-2021. BLES has a target weight of 50% US Large Cap stocks, 40% International Developed Markets stocks and 10% Emerging Markets stocks. The US exposure was responsible for the majority of the positive returns, but the International and Emerging Markets continued their recovery from the global market meltdown of 2020 as well. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2021, BLES was up 23.41% on a market price basis and 22.63% on the NAV. Since inception (2-27-2017) BLES has an annualized return of 12.02% on a market price basis and 11.96% on the NAV.
ISMD – Inspire Small/Mid Cap Impact ETF
The small cap and mid cap markets accelerated to the upside outpacing the large cap market during the first quarter of the year. However, that momentum didn’t last as the large cap market came in to favor for the next several months. Even with the small cap and mid cap markets finishing the year with strong double digit returns they fell short of their peak seen in early November. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2021, ISMD returned 31.46% on a market price basis and 31.44% on the NAV. Since inception (2-27-2017), ISMD has an annualized return of 9.93% on a market price basis and 9.92% on the NAV.
IBD – Inspire Corporate Bond Impact ETF
The Federal Reserve remained on the sidelines for the past year with no interest rate increases coming from the Federal Reserve but continued its monthly bond purchases to provide liquidity to the economy still struggling with the lingering effects of the pandemic. Due to rising inflation and slowing growth in the economy, interest rates rose dramatically during the first quarter of 2021. Rates did fall back during the 2nd and 3rd quarters but finished the fiscal year well above where they were just one year ago, manifesting in negative total returns for IBD over the past fiscal year. As the economy attempts to fully recover from the Covid-19 induced recession and due to the highest inflation rates in 4 decades, we believe interest rates will continue to move upward for the next 12 to 18 months as it is expected that the Federal Reserve will be moving the Fed Funds rates up in 2022. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2021, IBD returned -1.78% on a market price basis and -1.15% on the
1
NAV. Since inception (7-10-2017), IBD has an annualized return of 2.67% on a market price basis and 2.72% on the NAV.
BIBL – Inspire 100 ETF
BIBL has 100 US Large Cap positions that are capitalization weighted and is designed to give advisors and investors a Biblically Responsible alternative to the popular market cap weighted funds that are so prevalent in the marketplace (i.e. SPY or VOO). We are pleased that BIBL has performed as expected and participated in the strong US Large cap market performance in 2021 with a strong double-digit return. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2021, BIBL returned 24.83% on a market price basis and 24.79% on the NAV. Since inception (10-30-2017) BIBL has an annualized return of 16.61% on a market price basis and 16.58% on the NAV.
WWJD – Inspire International ESG ETF
WWJD reached its 2nd anniversary on 9-30-2021 and holds approximately 180 stocks with an 80% exposure to international developed markets and 20% to emerging markets. Although the international and emerging markets have not recovered as much as the US large cap markets since the global market meltdown in 2020, the performance has been positive in 2021 with double digit returns. We believe the global economy will continue to recover and the international and emerging markets should play a more positive role in portfolios in 2022. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2021, WWJD returned 18.21% on a market price basis and 17.11% on the NAV. Since inception (9-30-2019), WWJD has an annualized return of 17.01% on a market price basis and 16.58% on the NAV.
RISN – Inspire Tactical Balanced ESG ETF
RISN was launched in the middle of the pandemic on 7-15-2020 and now has more than a full year of history. RISN holds an 80% exposure to US large cap stocks and 20% to US fixed income during normal market conditions. The Fund can be adjusted to a neutral allocation of 50% US large cap stocks/50% US fixed income or a conservative allocation of 20% US large cap stocks/80% US fixed income when deemed appropriate by the portfolio managers. For the twelve months ended November 30, 2021, RISN returned 21.41% on a market price basis and 20.49% on the NAV. Since inception (7-15-2020), RISN has an annualized return of 18.75% on a market price basis and 18.76% on the NAV.
GLRY – Inspire Faithward Mid Cap Momentum ESG ETF
GLRY was launched as an active fund in the mid cap momentum space. GLRY will hold between 35 and 45 stocks that have a market capitalization between $3 billion and $10 billion and that the portfolio managers believe have the best opportunity for outperformance in the near term. GLRY utilizes a dual screening approach that overlays their quantitative investment screening process, called FEVRR, on top of the Inspire Impact Score methodology, which identifies some of the most inspiring, biblically aligned companies in the world. The FEVRR process screens companies based on financial health, earnings trends, valuation, relative strength, and risk to find high-quality stocks with strong earning potential. Since GLRY has less than twelve months of history as of November 30, 2021, the performance since inception (12-07-2020), is 17.51% on a market price basis and 17.35% on the NAV.
FEVR – Inspire Faithward Large Cap Momentum ESG ETF
FEVR was launched as an active fund in the large cap momentum space. FEVR will hold between 35 and 45 stocks that have a market capitalization of $10 billion and higher and that the portfolio managers believe have the best opportunity for outperformance in the near term. FEVR utilizes a dual screening approach that overlays their quantitative investment screening process, called FEVRR, on top of the Inspire Impact Score methodology, which identifies some of the most inspiring, biblically aligned companies in the world. The FEVRR process screens companies based on financial health, earnings
2
trends, valuation, relative strength, and risk to find high-quality stocks with strong earning potential. Since FEVR has less than twelve months of history as of November 30, 2021, the performance since inception (12-07-2020), is 20.08% on a market price basis and 20.08% on the NAV.
Closing Comments
2021 has been another challenging year as the world is still working through the lingering effects of the global pandemic. Multiple variants of the Covid virus, rising inflation, issues with the supply chain and geo-political tensions have all brought difficulties to us as I am sure it has for you and your family as well. With everything that has made 2021 challenging and difficult we are thankful to God our Father for His provision and protection. We pray the Lord has protected and provided for you and your family and will keep you safe and healthy in the coming year. We are also grateful to be part of the mission of making a positive impact in the world through our ETFs alongside you, our brothers and sisters in Christ and fellow shareholders.
The overall stock market has had a good year despite the many challenges mentioned above and we hope that we can return to a more normal year in 2022 as we learn to live with the ongoing Covid-19 endemic that will be with us for the foreseeable future. God is Sovereign, and our trust is in Him, not in politicians or the markets.
Thank you again for being shareholders, but more importantly thank you for being co-workers with us in making a positive impact in the world by inspiring transformation for God’s Glory.
May the Grace and Peace of Jesus Christ our Lord be with you in 2022.
Sincerely,
Darrell Jayroe, CIO
Inspire Investing
Inspire, the Adviser, provides the indexes for the Inspire ETFs to track. The indexes use software that analyzes publicly available data relating to the primary business activities, products and services, philanthropy, legal activities, policies, and practices when assigning Inspire Impact Scores to a company. The securities with the highest Inspire Impact Scores are included in the Indexes and are equally weighted. As an ETF may not fully replicate its Index, it is subject to the risk that investment management strategy may not produce the intended results. There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their objective, generate positive returns, or avoid losses.
ETF shares are not redeemable with the issuing fund other than in large Creation Unit aggregations. Instead, investors must buy or sell ETF Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a stockbroker. In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than net asset value when selling. Each Fund may focus its investments in securities of a particular industry to the extent its Index does. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not focus in a particular industry.
BLES, ISMD, IBD, BIBL and WWJD are not actively managed and the Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of
3
that security is otherwise required upon a rebalancing of the Index as addressed in the Index methodology. Tracking error may occur because of imperfect correlation between the Funds’ holdings of portfolio securities and those in the Index. The use of a representative sampling approach, could result in a fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Index. To the extent the assets in the Funds are smaller, these risks will be greater.

* | The Fund’s past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions, if any, or the redemption of the Fund shares. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by visiting www.inspireetf.com or by calling 1-877-658-9473. |
The Fund’s per share net asset value or NAV is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. Since November 2, 2020, market price returns are calculated using the closing price and account for distributions from the Fund. Prior to November 2, 2020, market price returns were calculated using the midpoint price and accounted for distributions from the Fund. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. The Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund until at least March 31, 2022 to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 0.80% of average daily net assets. The fee waiver and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund by the adviser in future years (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed), if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits or those in place at the time of recapture. This agreement may be terminated only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees on 60 days’ written notice to the Fund’s adviser. The Fund’s total annual operating expenses (gross) are 0.94% per the March 30, 2021 prospectus.
** | As of the commencement of operations on September 30, 2019. |
*** | The Inspire Global Hope Ex-US Index (IGHXUSG) intends to track the price movements of a portfolio of 150 of the most inspiring, biblically aligned large cap companies outside of the United States. The index is comprised of 80% international developed large cap companies and 20% emerging markets large cap companies. The adviser defines “large cap” as a market capitalization of $5B USD or greater. The index is equally weighted, rebalanced quarterly and calculated on a gross total return basis in USD. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. |
**** | The S&P International 700 Total Return Index measures the non-U.S. component of the global equity market through an index that is designed to be highly liquid and efficient to replicate. The index covers all regions included in the S&P Global 1200 except for the U.S., which is represented by the S&P 500. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. |
An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not reflect deductions for fees or expenses. In comparison, a Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Index returns reflect all items of income, gain and loss and the reinvestment of dividends and other income.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements 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 income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are each investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as “odd lots” and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as “round lots”.Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Each Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to a fair value committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) adviser. The committee may also enlist third party consultants, such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer, on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.
Fair Valuation Process – As noted above, the fair value committee is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) the adviser. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the adviser, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause an adviser to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask price is available, the spread between bid and ask prices is substantial, the frequency of sales, the thinness of the market, the size of reported trades, and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to the Funds’ calculation of their net asset values. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities, are valued via inputs from the adviser based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the adviser is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value committee shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the applicable Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value

of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
Securities Lending Risk - Securities lending involves exposure to certain risks, including operational risk (i.e., the risk of losses resulting from problems in the settlement and accounting process), “gap” risk (i.e., the risk of a mismatch between the return on cash collateral reinvestments and the fees a Fund has agreed to pay a borrower), and credit, legal, counterparty and market risk. In the event a borrower does not return a Fund’s securities as agreed, the Fund may experience losses if the proceeds received from liquidating the collateral do not at least equal the value of the loaned security at the time the collateral is liquidated plus the transaction costs incurred in purchasing replacement securities.
Fixed Income Risk - When a Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by each Fund, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.
Foreign Securities Risk - Foreign companies are generally not subject to the same regulatory requirements of U.S. companies thereby resulting in less publicly available information about these companies. The lack of readily available public information may lead to inaccurate Inspire Impact Scores. Not all countries and jurisdictions monitor or regulate all environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors so that there may be no relevant information available for certain factors. In addition, foreign accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards generally differ from those applicable to U.S. companies.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and 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
115

November 30, 2021 |
instrument in 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 Funds’ 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 value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of November 30, 2021 for the Funds’ assets measured at value:

Security transactions and related income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities using the effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for BLES, ISMD, BIBL, WWJD, RISN, GLRY and FEVR and monthly for IBD. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributable net

realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Funds record a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxation related to capital gains on the sale of securities in the foreign jurisdictions in which they invest. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, the Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that may be payable if securities were disposed of on the valuation date.
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax position and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years or expected to be taken in each Fund’s November 30, 2021 year-end tax return. Each Fund identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. Each Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses, in the Statements of Operations. 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 in the next twelve months.
Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable (as determined by the Board), taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds in the Trust.
Cash – The Funds consider their investments in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Funds maintain cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high quality financial institution.
Foreign Currency – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London

market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains and losses on the purchase and sale of foreign currencies and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. 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 risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

4. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES |
The business activities of the Funds are overseen by the Board. CWM Advisors, LLC dba Inspire (the “Adviser”) serves as the Funds’ investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser has engaged SevenOneSeven Capital Management, LTD as the sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser”) to manage the assets of GLRY and FEVR. The Trust has entered into a Global Custody Agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the “Custodian”) to serve as custodian and to act as transfer and shareholder services agent. The Trust has also entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Foreside Financial Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) to serve as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Funds.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Funds and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser, the Funds pay the Adviser a fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.30% of each Fund’s average daily net assets for BLES, ISMD, IBD, and BIBL, an annual rate of 0.45% for WWJD, an annual rate of 0.50% for RISN and an annual rate of 0.65% for GLRY and FEVR. For the year and period ended November 30, 2021, the Adviser earned $398,317, $342,273, $574,359, $692,097, $437,198, $459,468, $258,115 and $233,340 in advisory fees for BLES, ISMD, IBD, BIBL, WWJD, RISN, GLRY and FEVR respectively.
Pursuant to a written contract (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed for BLES, ISMD, BIBL, and WWJD at least until March 31, 2022, to waive a portion of its advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse the Funds for other expenses to the extent necessary so that total expenses incurred (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 0.60% and 0.35% of average daily net assets for ISMD and BIBL, respectively, and, effective April 1, 2021, 0.52% and 0.80% for BLES and WWJD, respectively. IBD, RISN, GLRY and FEVR currently do not have a Waiver Agreement in place.
If the Adviser waives any fee or reimburses any expenses pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and a Fund’s operating expenses are subsequently lower than its Expense Limitation, or limitation in place at time of waiver, the Adviser, on a rolling three -year period, shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund provided that such reimbursement does not cause that Fund’s operating expense to exceed the Expense Limitation. If a Fund’s operating expenses subsequently exceed the Expense Limitation, the reimbursements for the Fund shall be suspended. For the year ended November 30, 2021, the Adviser waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in the amount of $168,196 for BIBL pursuant to the Waiver Agreement. For the year ended November 30, 2021, the Adviser recaptured $45,758 of previously waived fees for ISMD.
120
The Inspire ETFs |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
November 30, 2021 |
The following amounts previously waived by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Funds by the following dates:
11/30/2022 | 11/30/2023 | 11/30/2024 | ||||||||||
BIBL | $ | 131,308 | $ | 133,196 | $ | 168,196 |
The Adviser may seek reimbursement only for expenses waived or paid by it during the three years prior to such reimbursement; provided, however, that such expenses may only be reimbursed to the extent they were waived or paid after the effective date of the Waiver Agreement (or any similar agreement).
The Board may terminate this expense reimbursement arrangement at any time.
The Trust, with respect to the Funds, has adopted a distribution and service plan (“Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay distribution fees to the distributor and other firms that provide distribution and shareholder services (“Service Providers”). If a Service Provider provides these services, the Funds may pay fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
No distribution or service fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees were charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in the Funds.
Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”) – UFS provides administration and fund accounting services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Funds pay UFS customary fees for providing administration and fund accounting services to the Funds. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS and are not paid any fees directly by the Funds for serving in such capacities.
Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”) – NLCS, an affiliate of UFS, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives customary fees from each Fund.
Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”) – Blu Giant, an affiliate of UFS, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Funds on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from the Funds.
5. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Funds at the net asset value (“NAV”) only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” Shares are created and redeemed by the Funds only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 shares for BLES, ISMD, BIBL, and WWJD, 100,000 shares for IBD, and 25,000 for RISN, GLRY and FEVR. Only Authorized Participants or transactions done through an Authorized Participant are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC

participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per share of the Funds on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. In addition, the Funds may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Fund shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Funds in effecting trades. A fixed fee may be imposed on each creation and redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units involved in the transaction (“Fixed Fee”). Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for cash or involving cash-in-lieu are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate the Funds and their ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions (“Variable Charge,” and together with the Fixed Fee, the “Transaction Fees”).
The Transaction Fees for the Funds are listed in the table below:

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain, and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and adjustments for real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment companies, and C-Corporation return of capital distributions.
Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. FEVR incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of $125,649.

8. | SECURITIES LENDING |
Each Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of the value of the securities in its portfolio to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the Custodian. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan. Each Fund receives compensation in the form of fees. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. Each Fund continues to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the fair value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of each Fund. Each Fund has the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand. The cash collateral is held by the Custodian in accordance with the custody agreement. Each Fund could experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Funds are indemnified from this risk by contract with the securities lending agent.
As of November 30, 2021, the below table shows the securities loan and collateral for the loan both of which are presented gross on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. All individual open security loan transactions were overcollateralized. This cash is invested in the Fidelity Government Portfolio – Institutional Class.

It is each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from, or return excess collateral to, the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
BBD, LLP
We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the Northern Lights Fund Trust IV since 2015.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited) |
November 30, 2021 |
As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2021 through November 30, 2021.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” lines in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio 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 balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the 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.

* | Expenses are equal to the average account value over the period, multiplied by the Fund’s annualized expense ratio net of waived/reimbursed fees, multiplied by the number of days in the period (183) divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (365). “Hypothetical” expense information is presented on the basis of the full one -half year period to enable a comparison to other funds. It is based on assuming the same net expense ratio and average account value over the period but is multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the full half-year period). |

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the 1940 Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Funds’ investment strategies and the liquidity of their portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; their short and long-term cash flow projections; and their cash holdings and access to other funding sources.
During the year ended November 30, 2021, the Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the “Committee”) reviewed the Funds’ investments and determined that the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that (i) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.
