NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

November 30, 2024 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The NEOS ETF Trust (the “Trust”), was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 1, 2021 and is authorized to issue multiple series or portfolios. The Trust is an open-end investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of eleven operational exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), one of which is presented herein, Mast Global Battery Recycling & Production ETF (the “Fund”). These financial statements relate only to the Fund. The Fund is a non-diversified series of the Trust. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the investment results of an index composed of companies of developed and emerging market companies that may benefit from growth and innovation involved in the business of battery recycling, battery raw materials, and battery manufacturing.

NEOS Investment Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the Fund.

The Fund is sponsored by KB Asset Management (the “Sponsor”), a subsidiary of KB Financial Group.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Investment Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. NAV per share is computed by dividing the net assets of the Fund by the Fund’s number of shares outstanding.

When calculating the NAV of the Fund’s shares, securities held by the Fund are valued at market quotations when reliable market quotations are readily available. Exchange traded securities and instruments (including equity securities, depositary receipts and ETFs) are generally valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such securities are traded (at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price for NASDAQ listed securities), as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if there are no sales, at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities and instruments not traded on an exchange are generally valued at the last traded price. Investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at NAV. In the absence of a recorded transaction sale price; or if the last sale price is unavailable, securities are valued at the mean between last bid and ask, as quoted. If an ask price is unavailable, the last bid price is used. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below.

When reliable market quotations are not readily available, securities are priced at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s valuation guidelines. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has designated the Adviser as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable. The Fund may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which such security is principally traded (such as a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of such security) or trading in such security has been suspended or halted. Such valuations would typically be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. As of November 30, 2024, there were no securities held by the Fund that were internally fair valued and/or valued using a Level 2 or Level 3 valuation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MAST GLOBAL BATTERY RECYCLING & PRODUCTION ETF

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

November 30, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)

The Fund discloses the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund (observable inputs) and (2) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 –

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 –

Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 –

Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of November 30, 2024:


	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Investments:
Common Stocks	$8,073,345	$ —	$ —	$8,073,345
Money Market Funds	271,132	—	—	271,132
Total Investments	$8,344,477	$—	$—	$8,344,477

Refer to the Schedule of Investments for further disaggregation of investment categories.

Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund is maintained in U.S. dollars. The Fund’s assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the valuation date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The Fund’s income earned and expenses incurred in foreign denominated currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of such activity.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations that result from changes in the market prices of investments held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gain (loss) on investments in securities and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in securities on the Statements of Operations.

Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions reported on the Statements of Operations arise from sales of foreign currency, including foreign exchange contracts, net currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference in the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies reported on the Statements of Operations arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and assets and liabilities (other than investments) denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with 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 statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes. The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent the Fund distributes substantially all its taxable net investment income and

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

November 30, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)

net capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax should be required. Management of the Fund is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of November 30, 2024. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. Management of the Fund is required to determine whether a tax position taken by the Fund is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. Based on its analysis, Management has concluded that the Fund does not have any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require a provision for income tax. Accordingly, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties for the period ended November 30, 2024.

Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund expects to declare and distribute all of its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends annually. The Fund will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Fund may distribute such income dividends and capital gains more frequently, if necessary, to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the Fund. The amount of any distribution will vary, and there is no guarantee the Fund will pay either an income dividend or a capital gains distribution.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts. 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 and are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for non-deductible excise tax expense. For the period ended May 31, 2024, the following adjustments were made:


Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Loss)			Paid-in Capital
$8			$(8)

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

Management. The Adviser acts as the Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”).

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser, the Adviser provides investment management services to the Fund and oversees the day-to-day operations of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the officers of the Trust. The Adviser administers the Fund’s business affairs, provides office facilities and equipment and certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly unitary management fee at an annual rate of 0.65% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the period ended November 30, 2024, the Fund incurred $23,219 in management fees.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses incurred by the Fund except for the management fee, interest, 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 (“AFFE”), extraordinary expenses, and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

The Sponsor has agreed to assume the Adviser’s obligation to pay all expenses of the Fund which are the responsibility of the Adviser, as discussed above and, to the extent applicable, pay the Adviser a minimum fee. The Sponsor will also provide marketing support for the Fund including, but not limited to, distributing the Fund’s materials and providing the Fund with access to and the use of marketing capabilities, including communications through print and electronic media. For these services, the Sponsor is entitled to a fee from the Adviser, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Sponsor does not make investment decisions, provide investment advice, or otherwise act in the capacity of an investment adviser to the Fund.

NOTE 7 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS

The Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front-end sales loads, no deferred sales charges, and no redemption fees. The standard fixed transaction fees for the Fund is $1,000, payable to the Custodian. Additionally, a variable transaction fee may be charged by the Fund of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units (inclusive of any transaction fees charged), for each creation or redemption. Variable transaction fees are imposed to compensate the Fund for the transaction costs associated with creation and redemption transactions. The Adviser may adjust or waive the transaction fees from time to time. The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Fund have equal rights and privileges.

Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund will issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, typically 10,000 Shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are conducted in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a designated basket of in-kind securities and/or cash. Once created, shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit and at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Shares of the Fund 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 (“Clearing Process”) of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) or (ii) a participant in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Fund’s Distributor. 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 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.

NOTE 8 – BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of the date of these financial statements, the Adviser has no voting power of the shares outstanding of the Fund.

NOTE 9 – PRINCIPAL RISKS

As with all ETFs, shareholders of the Fund are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Fund is subject to the principal risks, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objectives. A description of principal risks is included in each prospectus under the heading “Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund”.

NOTE 10 – GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Trust organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain

liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Fund. The Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Fund in connection with the Fund’s indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Fund.

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Management has determined that there are no material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.
