NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION
U.S.
Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF, U.S. Global Jets ETF, and U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF (individually each a “Fund”
or collectively the “Funds”) are non-diversified series of ETF Series Solutions (“ESS” and the “Trust”),
an open-end management investment company consisting of multiple investment series, organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 9,
2012. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of the Funds’ shares is registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The investment objective of the U.S. Global GO GOLD and
Precious Metal Miners ETF is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners

The
end of the reporting period for the Funds is June 30, 2024. The period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal
period ended June 30, 2024 (the “current fiscal period”).
NOTE
2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance for the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment
Companies.
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
A.
|
Security Valuation.
All equity securities, including domestic and foreign common stocks, preferred stocks, and exchange traded funds that are traded on a
national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global Select Markets®
and Nasdaq Capital Market Exchange® (collectively, “Nasdaq”) are valued at the last reported sale price on
the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price
(“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent
quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price
in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted
closing bid and asked price will be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current
exchange rate, which approximates fair value. |
Investments
in mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Units
of Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio are not traded on an exchange and are valued at the investment company’s NAV per share as
provided by the underlying fund’s administrator. These shares are generally classified as Level 2 Investments.
Securities
for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values in accordance with pricing procedures adopted
by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given
to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the pricing procedures
adopted by the Board. The use of fair value pricing by the Funds may cause the net asset value of their shares to differ significantly
from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.
As
described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. Accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation
methods. The three levels of inputs are:
TABLE OF CONTENTS
U.S.
GLOBAL ETFs
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)
Level 1 –
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. |
Level 2 –
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted
prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk,
yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
Level 3 –
|
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability,
to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the 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 fair
value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized
in Level 3.
The
inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes,
the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The
following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of the end of the current fiscal period:

During
the current fiscal period, the Funds did not recognize any transfers to or from Level 3.
B.
|
Federal Income
Taxes. The Funds’ policy is to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains
to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds plan to file U.S. Federal and various state and local
tax returns. |
Each
Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management
has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded
related to uncertain tax positions. Management is 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 12 months. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized
tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the current fiscal period, the
Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
C.
|
Foreign Currency.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the
date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities
held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. The Funds report net realized
foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes
recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange
gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period
end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
D.
|
Security Transactions
and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales
of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends
included in dividend income or separately disclosed, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the security received. Withholding taxes
on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. |
E.
|
Distributions
to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains on securities are declared and
paid by the Funds on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
F.
|
Use of Estimates.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Share Valuation.
The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash and other
assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of outstanding shares for each Fund, rounded
to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)
is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to each Fund’s NAV per share. |
H.
|
Reclassifications
of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified
between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. |
The
permanent differences primarily relate to redemptions in-kind and net operating losses. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the
following table shows the reclassifications made:

Guarantees
and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general
indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that
may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. |
J.
|
Subsequent
Events. In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or
disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the period
subsequent to the current fiscal period, that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in each Fund’s financial statements.

NOTE
3 – COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
U.S.
Global Investors, Inc. (the “Adviser”), serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory
Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Adviser, the Adviser provides investment
advice to the Funds and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Funds, subject to the direction and control of the Board and the officers
of the Trust. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser also arranges for the transfer agency, custody, fund administration and accounting,
and other non-distribution related services necessary for the Funds to operate. Under the Advisory Agreement for U.S. Global GO GOLD and
Precious Metal Miners ETF and U.S. Global Jets ETF, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses incurred by the Funds, except: the fee
paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, interest charges on any borrowings, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses
incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses,
accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution (12b-1) expenses. For services provided to the Funds, each Fund
pays the Adviser a management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at a rate of 0.60% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Separately,
under an Operating Expenses Limitation, for the U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF, the Adviser has agreed to limit the Fund’s Operating
Expenses to an annual rate of 0.60% of the first $100 million in net assets and 0.70% for net asset greater than $100 million.
For purposes of this agreement, the term “Operating Expenses” is defined to include all expenses necessary or appropriate
for the operation of the Fund, including the Adviser’s management fee, except interest charges on any borrowings, taxes, brokerage
commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired
fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution (12b-1) expenses (“Excluded Expenses”).
To the extent the U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF incurs Excluded Expenses, Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or
Expense Reimbursement will exceed the applicable expense limitation. Under the Agreement, the Adviser may request recoupment of previously
waived or paid fees from the Fund for up to three years from the date

and expenses can only be recouped so long as the Fund’s total expense ratio does not exceed the lesser of (1) the expense limitation
in place at the time of the waiver and/or expense payment; or (2) the expense limitation in place at the time of the recoupment.
The
Index that each Fund tracks was developed by U.S. Global Indices, LLC (the “Index Provider”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Adviser.
U.S.
Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services” or “Administrator”)
acts as the Funds’ Administrator and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and accounting services for the Funds. The
Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Funds, including regulatory compliance
monitoring and financial reporting; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Board; monitors the activities of the Funds’
Custodian, transfer agent and fund accountant. Fund Services also serves as the transfer agent and fund accountant to the Funds. U.S.
Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”), an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as the Funds’ Custodian.
The
Custodian acts as the securities lending agent (the “Securities Lending Agent”) for the Funds.
All
officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Administrator and Custodian.
NOTE
4 – SECURITIES LENDING
Each
Fund may lend up to 331/3percent 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 Securities Lending Agent. The securities
lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of any domestic
loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest. The use of loans of foreign securities, which are denominated and payable
in U.S. dollars, shall be collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan plus
accrued interest. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends
on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Funds continue 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 the Fund. The Fund has the right, under the terms of the securities lending agreement, to recall
the securities from the borrower on demand.
The
securities lending agreement provides that, in the event of a borrower’s material default, the Securities Lending Agent shall take
all actions the Securities Lending Agent deems appropriate to liquidate the collateral, purchase replacement securities at the Securities
Lending Agent’s expense, or pay the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the loaned securities, subject to certain limitations
which are set forth in detail in the securities lending agreement between the Fund and the Securities Lending Agent.
As
of the end of the current fiscal period, the Funds had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral
is invested by the Securities Lending Agent in accordance with approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines require the cash collateral
to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays
or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated
with securities lending. The Funds could also experience delays in recovering its 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. The Funds’ manage credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering

master netting agreements and collateral agreements with third party borrowers that provide the Funds’, in the event of default
(such as bankruptcy or a borrower’s failure to pay or perform), the right to net a third party borrower’s rights and obligations
under such agreement and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty.

portfolio with an overnight and continuous maturity. The investment objective is to seek to maximize current income to the extent consistent
with the preservation of capital and liquidity and maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 per unit. |

The
difference between the cost basis for financial statement and federal income tax purposes was primarily due to the tax deferral of losses
from wash sales and mark-to-market on investments in passive foreign investment companies.
A
regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first
day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the
Fund’s taxable year subsequent to October 31 and December 31, respectively. At December 31, 2023, U.S. Global GO
GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF deferred, on a tax-basis, no post-October capital losses and no late-year ordinary losses. U.S. Global
Jets ETF deferred, on a tax-basis, no post-October capital

of the Funds are listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Market prices for the shares may
be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in large blocks of shares, called
“Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe.
Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in
Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial
institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in
the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository
Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do
not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase
or redeem shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance
of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
The
Funds currently offer one class of shares, which has no front end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed
transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard
fixed transaction fee for the U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF is $300, and the standard fixed transaction fee for U.S
Global Jets ETF and U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF is $500, which is payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived
on certain orders if the applicable Fund’s Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order
or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions
or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction.
Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for the costs associated with cash transactions.

NOTE
9 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
Gold
and Precious Metals Risk. U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF will be sensitive to changes
in, and its performance will depend to a greater extent on, the overall condition of the metals and mining industry. Competitive pressures
may have a significant effect on the financial condition of companies in such industry. Also, such companies are highly dependent on the
price of certain precious metals. These prices may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time, so the Fund’s share price
may be more volatile than other types of investments. The prices of precious metals rise and fall in response to many factors, including:
economic cycles; changes in inflation or expectations about inflation in various countries; interest rates; currency fluctuations; metal
sales by governments, central banks, or international agencies; investment speculation; resource availability; fluctuations in industrial
and commercial supply and demand; government regulation of the metals and materials industries; and government prohibitions or restrictions
on the private ownership of certain precious and rare metals. The U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners Index measures the performance
of equity securities of Precious Metals Companies and does not measure the performance of direct investment in previous metals. Consequently,
the Fund’s share price may not move in the same direction and to the same extent as the spot prices of precious metals.
Airline
Companies Risk. U.S. Global Jets ETF invests in Airline companies. Airline companies may be adversely
affected by a downturn in economic conditions that can result in decreased demand for air travel. Airline companies may also be significantly
affected by changes in fuel prices which may be very volatile. Airline companies may also be significantly affected by changes in labor
relations and insurance costs.
Cargo
Companies Risk. U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF is expected to concentrate its investments in the securities
of Cargo Companies. Cargo Companies may be adversely affected by a downturn in economic conditions that can result in decreased demand
for marine shipping, ports, and air freight. Cargo Companies may also be significantly affected by changes in fuel prices, which may be
very volatile, the imposition of tariffs or trade wars, changes in labor relations or availability, insurance costs, commodities prices
in general, international politics and conflicts, changes in airborne or seaborne transportation patterns, changes to marine shipping
and air freight routes, weather patterns and events, including hurricane activity, maritime accidents, canal closures, and port congestion.
Cargo Companies may also be highly dependent on aircraft, ships, or related equipment from a small number of suppliers, and consequently,
issues affecting the availability, reliability, safety, or longevity of such aircraft, ships, or equipment (e.g.,
the inability of a supplier to meet demand or the grounding of an aircraft due to safety concerns) may have a significant effect on the
operations and profitability of Cargo Companies.
Concentration
Risk. The Funds may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse occurrences
affecting the Funds more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Funds’ investments are concentrated in the securities
of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
