Shareholder LetterNovember 30, 2023

The performance of bond portfolios over the past 12 months was intricately linked to the prevailing interest rate environment and the Federal Reserve’s policy decisions. The Kingsbarn Tactical Bond ETF (“KDRN”) successfully navigated this challenging environment, adjusting portfolio exposures in response to interest rate expectations. Over the past year, KDRN gained +5.69% versus a Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index1 return of +1.52% representing +4.17% of excess return.

KDRN’s core bond portfolio is invested in multiple liquid, cost-effective ETFs that in aggregate have similar characteristics to the Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index in terms of duration and credit quality. Small portfolio adjustments were made to the core portfolio throughout the year. In March we re-allocated 15% of the portfolio away from Investment Grade Bonds into High Yield and TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) based on a stronger economic backdrop and the market’s low long-term inflation expectations. This allocation proved fruitful as economic activity and labor growth remained strong powering a credit spread narrowing benefiting credit sectors. We exited our tactical high yield bond position in June, eventually re-allocating portfolio exposure into mortgage-backed bonds and short-term Treasury exposure. These adjustments were initiated based on our view of a potential market reversal of historically low credit spreads and continued inflationary pressures. In aggregate, these tactical bond allocations resulted in -0.9% of performance alpha2 over the last 12 months.

In addition to KDRN’s core bond ETF holdings, KDRN employs an active duration3 management strategy which relies on forecasting the movement of future interest rates and modifying the portfolio’s interest rate sensitivity based upon this forecast. This strategy involves altering the duration of the core bond portfolio to preserve value when an increase in interest rates is anticipated and increase portfolio value when interest rates are expected to decline. We use liquid, exchange-traded 10 Year Treasury futures to adjust portfolio duration leaving core ETF holdings intact. Over the course of the year, our management of duration provided +6.0% of performance alpha. We are especially pleased with this outperformance during a time of heightened market volatility and monetary policy uncertainty. As a result of this alpha generation, KDRN’s year-to-date and one-year returns put it in the top percentile rank of all 571 Intermediate-term Core Plus Bond Funds ranked by Morningstar.4

Shareholder Letter - continuedNovember 30, 2023

Interest rates continued to be the dominant factor driving fixed income markets over the course of the year. The movements of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield can be characterized as highly volatile, ending the prior 12-month period almost at the same level as it started. The 10 Year Treasury yield saw significant fluctuations dipping to a low of 3.25% during the March banking crisis and escalated beyond 5% for the first time in 16 years. This volatility was indicative of changing market sentiment about the macro-economy and Fed policy. Initial fears about a recession were ultimately countered by a resilient economy and a strong labor market. Additionally, the Fed’s hawkish stance and rate hikes earlier in the year were followed by dovish Fed commentary and the potential for rate cuts in 2024. The market reaction to this “Fed Pivot” was swift with markets pricing in more than 150 basis points5 of rate cuts in 2024. In our view, the current forward rate curve is an overreaction which might present some interesting tactical opportunities in the coming months.

We believe KDRN is a distinct product in the fixed income market as we seek an active management approach to duration risk hoping to exploit interest rate volatility and maximize total returns for investors. It is our view that typical fixed income managers pay little attention to duration, seeing themselves primarily as bottom-up investors who specialize in sector and security selection. Funds who adopt a flexible and diversified fixed income strategy will be better positioned to mitigate risks and capitalize on opportunities in the evolving bond market. The ability to adapt to the changing interest rate landscape and interpret the Federal Reserve’s signals will remain essential for optimizing bond portfolios in the coming year.

All performance numbers for KDRN and benchmark are sourced through Bloomberg for the one-year period ended 11.30.2023.

Must be accompanied by a prospectus.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and may trade at a discount or premium to NAV. Shares are not individually redeemable from the Fund and may only be acquired or redeemed from the fund in creation units. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Fund risks: When the Fund invests in Underlying Bond Funds, it is subject to the risks associated with those investment companies, (such as the risk that the fund will be concentrated in a particular issuer, market, industry or sector, and therefore will be especially susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences affecting that issuer, market, industry or sector). Underlying Bond Funds incur operating expenses that are separate from those of the Fund. As a result, the Fund’s shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the operating expenses of the Underlying Bond Funds, in addition to Fund expenses. While fixed-income securities normally fluctuate less in price than stocks, there have been extended periods of increases in interest rates that have caused significant declines in fixed income securities prices. Junk bonds are speculative, involve greater risks of default, downgrade, or price declines and are more volatile and tend to be less liquid than investment grade securities. The Fund will use derivative instruments such as futures contracts and the Underlying Bond Funds may use derivative instruments such as swaps, foreign currency exchange forward contracts, futures contracts and options on futures contracts. The value of derivatives may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative. To the extent the Fund invests in Underlying Bond Funds that invest in foreign securities, it may be subject to additional risks not typically associated with investments in domestic securities.

Morningstar Intermediate-Term Core-Plus Bond Category: Funds invest primarily in investment-grade U.S. fixed-income issues including government, corporate, and securitized debt, but generally have greater flexibility than core offerings to hold non-core sectors such as corporate high yield, bank loan, emerging-markets debt, and non-U.S. currency exposures. Their durations (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) typically range between 75% and 125% of the three-year average of the effective duration of the Morningstar Core Bond Index.

Performance figures assume the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns. Market price is the price at which shares in the ETF can be bought or sold on the exchanges during trading hours, while the net asset value (NAV) represents the value of each share’s portion of the fund’s underlying assets and cash at the end of the trading day.

Notes to Financial StatementsNovember 30, 2023

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Kingsbarn Tactical Bond ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of ETF Opportunities Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which was organized on March 18, 2019 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The offering of the Fund’s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Fund commenced operations on December 20, 2021.

The Fund’s objective is to maximize total return.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

Security Valuation

Generally, the Fund’s domestic securities are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each security’s primary exchange. Securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale shall be valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such exchange. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Although the Board is ultimately responsible for fair value determinations under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s assets to Kingsbarn Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) as the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Fund’s policies and procedures. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally shall be valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask price on such over-the-counter market.

12

ANNUAL REPORT

KINGSBARN TACTICAL BOND ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedNovember 30, 2023

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price determined by the applicable US exchange on the date with respect to which the NAV is being determined, or if no settlement price is available, at the last sale price as of the close of business prior to the NAV determination on such day.

The Fund has a policy that contemplates the use of fair value pricing to determine the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund when market prices are unavailable as well as under special circumstances, such as: (i) if the primary market for a portfolio security suspends or limits trading or price movements of the security; and (ii) when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded that is likely to have changed the value of the security. Since most of the Fund’s investments are traded on US securities exchanges, it is anticipated that the use of fair value pricing will be limited.

When the Fund uses fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of the Fund, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Valuation Designee believes accurately reflects fair value. Any method used will be approved by the Board and results will be monitored to evaluate accuracy. The Fund’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing.

The Fund has adopted fair valuation accounting standards that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Security Transactions and Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is determined generally on specific identification basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Cash

Cash, if any, consists of overnight deposits with the custodian bank which earn interest at the current market rate.

Cash at Brokers and Due to Broker

Cash at broker is held as collateral. As of November 30, 2023, $27,292 of the Fund’s cash was deposited with a broker. During the year ended November 30, 2023, there were no amounts due to broker.

ANNUAL REPORT

KINGSBARN TACTICAL BOND ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedNovember 30, 2023

Accounting Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of investment income, expenses and gains and losses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes

The Fund has complied and intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Fund’s tax returns. The Fund has no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense as incurred.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts

Certain components of net assets are reclassified relating to permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expenses or realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes and have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended November 30, 2023, such reclassifications were as a result of capital gains/losses from redemptions in-kind.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least quarterly by the Fund. The Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of a calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Derivatives

The Fund utilizes derivatives to achieve its investment strategies. These are financial instruments that derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset or index. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in a derivative could have a large potential impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund could experience a loss if derivatives do not perform as anticipated, or are not correlated with the performance of other investments which are used to hedge or if the Fund is unable to liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. The market for many derivatives is, or suddenly can become, illiquid. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid and unpredictable changes in the prices for derivatives. The Fund may purchase derivative instruments or engage in transactions in derivative transactions, including futures contracts. The Advisor tactically manages the duration exposure of the Fund’s bond portfolio to generate excess returns. The management of the portfolio’s duration exposure is driven by a directional, short-term interest rate forecast by the Advisor which then drives the Adviser’s decisions to purchase or sell the 10-Year Treasury Futures for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund is subject to the requirements of Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act and has adopted policies and procedures to manage risks concerning its use of derivatives.

(the “Custodian”) a fixed transaction fee (“Creation Transaction Fee”) in connection with creation orders that is intended to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee charged by the

Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participant and, in each case, must have executed an agreement with the Fund’s principal underwriter (the “Distributor”) with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”). Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. The following table discloses the Creation Unit breakdown based on the NAV as of November 30, 2023:

To the extent contemplated by a participant agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, by the time as set forth in a participant agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the participant agreement. A participant agreement may permit the Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of the Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and Collateral Payable

Officers and Trustees Indemnification

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

NOTE 2 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Advisor currently provides investment advisory services pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor manages the investment portfolio of the Fund, subject to the policies adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. In addition, the Advisor: (i) furnishes office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and executive personnel necessary for managing the assets of the Fund; (ii) provides guidance and policy direction in connection with its daily management of the Fund’s assets, subject to the authority of the Trust’s Board of Trustees; and (iii) is responsible for oversight of the subadvisor. For its services with respect to the Fund, the Advisor is entitled to receive an annual management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, of 1.25% of the Fund’s daily net assets. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor assumes and pays, at its own expense and without reimbursement from the Fund, all ordinary expenses of the Fund, except the fee paid to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, distribution fees or expenses under a Rule 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and any other portfolio transaction related expenses and fees arising out of transactions effected on behalf of the Fund, credit facility fees and expenses, including interest expenses, and litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee to an annual rate of 0.95% of the daily net assets of the Fund until March 31, 2024, and the Advisor may not terminate this arrangement prior to that date. The Advisor is not entitled to recover any previously waived fees.

ANNUAL REPORT

KINGSBARN TACTICAL BOND ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedNovember 30, 2023

The Advisor retained Vident Asset Management (the “Sub-Advisor”), to serve as sub-advisor for the Fund. The Sub-Advisor is responsible for trading portfolio securities on behalf of the Fund, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions as instructed by the Advisor, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board. For its services, the Sub-Advisor is paid a fee by the Advisor, which is calculated daily and payable monthly as a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets, at the annual rate of 0.045% on assets up to $250,000,000, 0.040% on assets from $250,000,000 to $500,000,000, and 0.035% on assets in excess of $500,000,000, subject to a minimum annual fee of $25,000. If the Advisor and Trust elect to have the Sub-Advisor manage the strategy through the use of individual bonds, rather than ETFs, once the Fund reaches $500,000,000 in assets the Sub-Advisor’s fee will be at an annual rate of 0.060% on assets up to $500,000,000 and 0.055% on assets in excess of $500,000,000, calculated daily and payable monthly as a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets.

Vident Asset Management (“VA”), an affiliate of the Sub-Advisor, was formed in 2016 and commenced operations and registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment advisor in 2019. Pursuant to a purchase agreement signed on March 24, 2023, Vident Capital Holdings, LLC (“VA Holdings”), a subsidiary of MM VAM, LLC acquired VA (the “Transaction”). MM VAM, LLC is an entity controlled by Casey Crawford. The Transaction closed on July 14, 2023 (the “Closing Date”). As of the Closing Date, Mr. Crawford controls VA through VA Holdings. Under the 1940 Act, the Transaction resulted in a change of control of the Sub-Advisor, which in turn resulted in the assignment and termination of the investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor (the “Former Sub-Advisory Agreement”). To avoid a lapse in sub-advisory services to the Fund, VA and the Trust entered into an Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement, pursuant to the requirements of Section 15(f) and Rule 15a-4 of the 1940 Act, prior to the Transaction.

Pursuant to the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement, VA provided sub-advisory services to the Fund until shareholders approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. At a meeting held on October 6, 2023, the Fund’s shareholders voted to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. Proxy materials were mailed to Fund shareholders that explained in detail the Transaction, the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and provided information on how shareholders could vote their shares. At the meeting, Fund shareholders approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and VA is the new sub-advisor.

NOTE 4 – DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax character of the distributions paid were as follows:

NOTE 5 – TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and trade at market prices rather than at NAV. Shares of the Fund may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV. The Fund will issue and redeem shares at NAV only in large blocks of at least 10,000 shares (each block of shares is called a “Creation Unit”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed for cash and/or in-kind for securities. Individual shares may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.

All orders to create Creation Units must be placed with the Fund’s distributor or transfer agent either (1) through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC (“Clearing Process”), a clearing agency that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), by a “Participating Party,” i.e., a broker-dealer or other participant in the Clearing Process; or (2) outside the Clearing Process by a DTC Participant. In each case, the Participating Party or the DTC Participant must have executed an agreement with the Distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units (“Participation Agreement”); such parties are collectively referred to as “APs” or “Authorized Participants.” Investors should contact the Distributor for the names of Authorized Participants. All Fund shares, whether created through or outside the Clearing Process, will be entered on the records of DTC for the account of a DTC Participant.

NOTE 6 – RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

As with all funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The principal risks affecting shareholders’ investments in the Fund are set forth below. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) focusing on fixed-income investments (“Underlying Bond Funds”) and futures contracts on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes (“10-Year Treasury Futures”). The principal risks described herein pertain to direct risks of making an investment in the Fund and/or risks of the Underlying Bond Funds.

Market Risk. The market value of securities owned by the Fund may decline, at times sharply and unpredictably.

Active Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk as an actively-managed investment portfolio. The Advisor’s investment decisions about individual securities impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The Advisor’s judgments about the attractiveness and potential appreciation of particular investments in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that the Advisor’s investment strategy will produce the desired results.

Other Investment Company Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in Underlying Bond Funds, it is subject to the risks associated with those investment companies, (such as the risk that the fund will be concentrated in a particular issuer, market, industry or sector, and therefore will be especially susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences affecting that issuer, market, industry or sector). The Fund may be affected by losses of the Underlying Bond Funds and the level of risk arising from the investment practices of the Underlying Bond Funds (such as the use of derivative transactions by the Underlying Bond Funds). The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is affected by the ability of the Underlying Bond Funds to meet their investment objectives. The Fund has no control over the investments and related risks taken by the Underlying Bond Funds in which it invests. Underlying Bond Funds incur operating expenses that are separate from those of the Fund. As a result, the Fund’s shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the operating expenses of the Underlying Bond Funds, in addition to Fund expenses.

Fixed-Income Securities Risk. While fixed-income securities normally fluctuate less in price than stocks, there have been extended periods of increases in interest rates that have caused significant declines in fixed income securities

24

ANNUAL REPORT

KINGSBARN TACTICAL BOND ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedNovember 30, 2023

prices. The values of fixed-income securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating or financial condition of their issuers. Generally, the lower the credit rating of a security, the higher the degree of risk as to the payment of interest and return of principal.

Credit Risk. The issuer of a fixed-income security may not be able to make interest and principal payments when due. Generally, the lower the credit rating of a security, the greater the risk that the issuer will default on its obligation.

Change in Rating Risk. If a rating agency gives a debt security a lower rating, the value of the debt security will decline because investors will demand a higher rate of return.

Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund may fluctuate based upon changes in interest rates and market conditions. As interest rates increase, the value of the Fund’s income-producing investments may go down. For example, bonds tend to decrease in value when interest rates rise. Debt obligations with longer maturities typically offer higher yields, but are subject to greater price movements as a result of interest rate changes than debt obligations with shorter maturities.

Duration Risk. Prices of fixed-income securities with longer effective maturities are more sensitive to interest rate changes than those with shorter effective maturities.

Prepayment Risk. Underlying Bond Funds in which the Fund invests may invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, which are subject to fluctuations in yield due to prepayment rates that may be faster or slower than expected.

Income Risk. The Fund’s income could decline due to falling market interest rates. In a falling interest rate environment, the Fund or an Underlying Bond Fund may invest its assets in lower-yielding securities. Because interest rates vary, it is impossible to predict the income or yield of the Fund or any Underlying Bond Fund for any particular period. In a falling interest rate environment, there may be lower-yielding securities.

Derivatives Risk. The Fund will use derivative instruments such as futures contracts and the Underlying Bond Funds may use derivative instruments such as swaps, foreign currency exchange forward contracts, futures contracts and options on futures contracts. The value of derivatives may rise or fall more

25

ANNUAL REPORT

KINGSBARN TACTICAL BOND ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedNovember 30, 2023

rapidly than other investments. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative. Other risks of investments in derivatives include imperfect correlation between the value of these instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the derivative transactions; risks that the transactions may result in losses that offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the derivative transactions may not be liquid. If the Fund or Underlying Bond Fund is not successful in employing such instruments in managing its portfolio, its performance will be worse than if it did not invest in such instruments. In utilizing certain derivatives, a fund’s losses are potentially unlimited. Derivative instruments may also involve the risk that other parties to the derivative contract may fail to meet their obligations, which could cause losses to the Underlying Bond Fund and the Fund.

Risk of Investing in Futures. The Fund will and the Underlying Bond Funds may invest in futures contracts. Futures contracts can be highly volatile and using futures can increase the volatility of a fund’s net asset value NAV and/or lower total return. Additionally, a relatively small movement in the price or value of a futures transaction may result in substantial losses to the fund, and the potential loss from futures can exceed the fund’s initial investment in such contracts. Futures contracts involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value of a futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying indicator. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for the futures contract positions held by the Fund or an Underlying Bond Fund at any time. While futures contracts are generally liquid instruments, under certain market conditions they may become illiquid. As a result, the Fund or an Underlying Bond Fund, may not be able to close out a position in a futures contract at a time that is advantageous. The price of futures can be highly volatile; using them could lower total return, and the potential loss from futures can exceed the initial investment of the Fund or Underlying Bond Fund in such contracts. The use of derivatives by the Fund and Underlying Bond Funds may magnify losses for the Fund and the Underlying Bond Funds.

Mortgage-Related Securities Risk. The Underlying Bond Funds may buy interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages in the form of “pass-through” mortgage securities. The prices and yields of mortgage-related securities are determined, in part, by assumptions about the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages and are subject to the risks of unanticipated prepayment and extension risks. Mortgage-related securities are also subject to interest rate risk, and the market for mortgage-backed securities may be volatile at times and may be less liquid than the markets for other types of securities.

26

ANNUAL REPORT

KINGSBARN TACTICAL BOND ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedNovember 30, 2023

Municipal Securities Risk. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political or economic changes, including changes made in the law after issuance of the securities, as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders, including in connection with an issuer insolvency. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the inability to collect revenues from such projects or assets. Certain municipal securities are issued by entities with limited taxing authority such as school districts, or dependent on revenue from a particular sector or industry, such as the utilities sector, infrastructure sector, or transportation industry.

ETF Structure Risk. The Fund and the Underlying Bond Funds are structured as ETFs and as a result are each subject to special risks. These risks may be magnified because they apply to the Fund and each Underlying Bond Fund the Fund holds. Such risks include:

Trading Issues Risk. Trading in ETF shares on an exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the exchange, make trading in the ETF’s shares inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility. There can be no assurance that an ETF’s shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of its exchange or will trade with any volume. There is no guarantee that an active secondary market will develop for shares of an ETF. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of shares of an ETF may begin to mirror the liquidity of the ETF’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than shares of the ETF. This adverse effect on liquidity for the ETF’s shares in turn could lead to differences between the market price of the ETF’s shares and the underlying value of those shares.

Market Price Variance Risk. The market prices of shares of an ETF will fluctuate in response to changes in the ETF’s NAV, and supply and demand for ETF shares and will include a “bid-ask spread” charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. There may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. This means that ETF shares may trade at a discount to NAV. The market price of an ETF’s shares may deviate from the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio holdings, particularly in times of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the shares of the ETF bought or sold.

27

ANNUAL REPORT

KINGSBARN TACTICAL BOND ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedNovember 30, 2023

National Closed Market Trading Risk. To the extent that the underlying securities and/or other assets held by an ETF trade on foreign exchanges or in foreign markets that may be closed when the securities exchange on which the ETF’s shares trade is open, there are likely to be deviations between the current price of such an underlying security and the last quoted price for the underlying security (i.e., the ETF’s quote from the closed foreign market). These deviations could result in premiums or discounts to an ETF’s NAV that may be greater than those experienced by other ETFs.

Authorized Participants (“APs”), Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Risk. ETFs have a limited number of financial institutions that may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, shares of an ETF may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.

Costs of Buying or Selling Shares of an ETF. Due to the costs of buying or selling shares of an ETF, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of shares of an ETF may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in shares of an ETF may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

Investment Risk. When you sell your shares of the Fund, they could be worth less than what you paid for them. Therefore, as with any investment, you may lose some or all of your investment by investing in the Fund.

Other Risks for the Fund

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Events. Geopolitical and other events, such as war, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics could result in unplanned or significant securities market closures, volatility or declines. Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the resulting broad-ranging economic sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries, as well as the potential spillover effects of Israel-Hamas war, may continue to disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and companies,

28

ANNUAL REPORT

KINGSBARN TACTICAL BOND ETF

Notes to Financial Statements - continuedNovember 30, 2023

thereby decreasing the value of the Fund’s investments. Additionally, sudden or significant changes in the supply or prices of commodities or other economic inputs may have material and unexpected effects on both global securities markets and individual countries, regions, industries, or companies, which could reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.

Cyber Security Risk. Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Advisor and the Fund’s other service providers, market makers, Authorized Participants, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and negatively impact the Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems seeking to address system breaches or failures, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems of the Fund’s service providers, market makers, Authorized Participants, or issuers of securities in which the Fund invests.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks 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, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and broker.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements

This annual report pertains only to the Kingsbarn Tactical Bond ETF; however, the disclosure below pertains to that fund and the Kingsbarn Dividend Opportunity ETF, a fund that commenced operations on November 1, 2023.

At a meeting held on September 26 – 27, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the ETF Opportunities Trust (the “Trust”) considered the approval of the continuation of the Investment Advisory (the “Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Kingsbarn Capital Management, LLC (“Kingsbarn”) with respect to the Kingsbarn Tactical Bond ETF (“KDRN”) and the Kingsbarn Dividend Opportunity ETF (“DVDN” and together with KDRN, the “Kingsbarn Funds”). The Board discussed the arrangements between Kingsbarn and the Trust with respect to the Kingsbarn Funds, noting that Kingsbarn had engaged an investment sub-adviser, Vident Investment Advisory, LLC (“Vident”) with respect to certain trading activities in the Kingsbarn Funds. The Board reflected on its discussions with a representative from Kingsbarn earlier in the Meeting regarding the manner in which KDRN is managed (and in which DVDN will be managed) and the roles and responsibilities of Kingsbarn under the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees reviewed a memorandum from counsel to the Trust (“Trust Counsel”) that addressed the Trustees’ duties when considering the continuation of the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement and the responses of Kingsbarn to a request for information from Trust Counsel on behalf of the Board. A copy

of this memorandum had been provided to the Trustees in advance of the Meeting. The Trustees also reviewed the responses of Kingsbarn to requests for information from Trust Counsel on behalf of the Board and noted that the responses included a copy of financial information for Kingsbarn, an expense comparison analysis for the Kingsbarn Funds and comparable mutual funds and ETFs, and the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement. The Trustees discussed the types of information and factors that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Kingsbarn; (ii) the investment performance of the KDRN and Kingsbarn; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by Kingsbarn from the relationship with the Kingsbarn Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the Kingsbarn Funds grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of their investors; and (v) possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.

In assessing these factors and reaching its decisions, the Board took into consideration information specifically prepared or presented at this Meeting. The Board requested or was provided with information and reports relevant to the approval of the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement, including: (i) information regarding the services and support to be provided by Kingsbarn to the Kingsbarn Funds and their shareholders; (ii) presentations by management of Kingsbarn addressing the investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operations to be utilized in managing the Kingsbarn Funds; (iii) information pertaining to the compliance structure of Kingsbarn; (iv) disclosure information contained in the Kingsbarn Funds’ registration statement and Kingsbarn’s Form ADV and/or the policies and procedures of Kingsbarn; and (v) the memorandum from Trust Counsel that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement, including the material factors set forth above and the types of information included in each factor that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision.

The Board considered that it also requested and received various informational materials including, without limitation: (i) documents containing information about Kingsbarn, including financial information, information on personnel and the services to be provided by Kingsbarn to the Kingsbarn Funds, the firm’s compliance program, information on any current legal matters, and other general information; (ii) expenses of the Kingsbarn Funds and comparative expense and performance information for other ETFs with strategies similar to the Kingsbarn

Funds prepared by an independent third party; (iii) the anticipated effect of size on the Kingsbarn Funds’ performance and expenses; and (iv) benefits anticipated to be realized by Kingsbarn from its relationship with the Kingsbarn Funds.

The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. In deciding whether to approve the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:

The nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Kingsbarn.

In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities of Kingsbarn under the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by Kingsbarn to the Kingsbarn Funds, including, without limitation, Kingsbarn’s process for formulating investment recommendations and the processes of Kingsbarn for assuring compliance with the Kingsbarn Funds’ investment objectives and limitations; the coordination of services by Kingsbarn for the Kingsbarn Funds among the service providers; and the anticipated efforts of Kingsbarn to promote the Kingsbarn Funds and grow their assets. The Board considered: the staffing, personnel, and methods of operating of Kingsbarn; the education and experience of their personnel; and information provided regarding their compliance programs, policies and procedures. The Board considered the methods to be utilized by Kingsbarn in supervising Vident as a sub-adviser to the Kingsbarn Funds and the relationship between Kingsbarn and Vident. After reviewing the foregoing and further information from Kingsbarn, the Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services to be provided by Kingsbarn was satisfactory and adequate for the Kingsbarn Funds.

The investment performance of the KDRN Fund and Kingsbarn.

The Board reviewed KDRN’s performance. In considering KDRN’s investment performance, the Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”), and compared the performance of KDRN with the performance of its benchmark index, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (“Bloomberg Aggregate”), the funds in its Morningstar category, the Nontraditional Bond category, (“Category”), and a peer group selected from its Category by Broadridge (“Peer Group”). The Board noted that KDRN had outperformed the Bloomberg Aggregate, the Category median and the Peer Group median for the 1-year period ended July 31, 2023.

After a detailed discussion of KDRN’s performance, the Board concluded that, in light of all the facts and circumstances, KDRN’s performance was satisfactory.

The Board noted that DVDN had not yet commenced operations. The Trustees considered that Kingsbarn currently manages an unregistered fund with an investment strategy that is similar to the investment strategy that will be utilized for DVDN. The Board also considered the skillset and experience of the portfolio management team and other relevant information presented by Kingsbarn that could have an effect on how DVDN could perform, and they were satisfied with this presentation by Kingsbarn.

The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by Kingsbarn from the relationship with the Kingsbarn Funds.

In this regard, the Board considered the financial condition of Kingsbarn and the level of commitment to the Kingsbarn Funds by Kingsbarn. The Board also considered the expenses of the Kingsbarn Funds, including the nature and frequency of advisory and sub-advisory fee payments. The Board noted the information on profitability provided by Kingsbarn. The Trustees took into consideration the comments made by Kingsbarn earlier in the Meeting on the appropriateness of the Categories and Peer Groups of the Kingsbarn Funds. The Trustees considered the unitary fee structure proposed by Kingsbarn and Kingsbarn’s contractual agreement to waive a portion of its advisory fee for KDRN such that the net advisory fee (after the waiver) will be reduced from 1.25% to 0.95% of KDRN’s average daily net assets through March 31, 2024. The Trustees noted that the Kingsbarn Funds’ gross and net expense ratio and gross and net advisory fee were each higher than the median of their respective Category and Peer Group. After further consideration, the Board concluded that the profitability and fees to be paid to Kingsbarn were within an acceptable range in light of the services to be rendered by Kingsbarn.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Kingsbarn Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Kingsbarn Funds’ investors.

The Trustees considered the advisory fee schedules of the Kingsbarn Funds, and noted that the unitary fee structure limits the shareholders’ exposure to fee increases.

Possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.

In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the Kingsbarn personnel assigned to the Kingsbarn Funds; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the Kingsbarn Funds; the substance and administration of the Code of Ethics and other relevant policies of Kingsbarn. The Board noted that Kingsbarn and Vident had each represented that it does not anticipate utilizing soft dollars or commission recapture with regard to the Kingsbarn ETFs. The Board also considered potential benefits for Kingsbarn in managing the Kingsbarn Funds. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board concluded that the standards and practices of Kingsbarn relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest, as well as the benefits to be derived by Kingsbarn from managing the Kingsbarn Funds were satisfactory.

After additional consideration of the factors delineated in the memorandum provided by Trust Counsel and further discussion and careful review by the Trustees, the Board determined that the compensation payable under the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement was fair, reasonable and within a range of what could have been negotiated at arms-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances, and they approved the Kingsbarn Advisory Agreement.

Fund’s Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings. The Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Advisor as the Fund’s Liquidity Risk Management Administrator. The Advisor has appointed representatives from their compliance, trading, and portfolio management departments to assist in the program’s administration and oversight and for reporting to the Board on at least an annual basis regarding the program’s operation and effectiveness. The Liquidity Risk Management Administrator performed an assessment of the Fund’s liquidity risk profile, considering information gathered and its actual experience in administering the program and presented a written report to the Board of Trustees for consideration during the period covered by this annual report. The report concluded that (i) the Fund did not experience significant liquidity challenges during the covered period; (ii) the Fund’s investment

strategies remain appropriate for open-end funds; and (iii) the Fund’s liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)

Fund Expenses Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six months, June 1, 2023 and held for the six months ended November 30, 2023.

Actual Expenses Example

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
