NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The SP Funds S&P Global Technology ETF (the “Global Technology ETF”) and the SP Funds S&P World (ex-US) ETF (the “World ETF”) (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a series of shares of beneficial interest of SP Funds Trust (the “Trust”). The Funds are both a non-diversified series of the Trust. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 6, 2023, and is registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of each Fund’s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Trust is governed by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). ShariaPortfolio, Inc. (the “Adviser”) serves as investment adviser to the Funds and Tidal Investments LLC (f/k/a Toroso Investments, LLC) (“Tidal Investments” or “Sub-Adviser”) serves as sub-adviser to the Funds. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services—Investment Companies.” The Global Technology ETF commenced operations on November 30, 2023, and the World ETF commenced operations on December 19, 2023.

The investment objective of the Global Technology ETF is to seek to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P Global 1200 Shariah Information Technology Capped Index (the “Shariah Technology Index”). The investment objective of the World ETF is to seek to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P DM Ex-U.S. & EM 50/50 Shariah Index (the “Shariah World Index”).

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

A.Security Valuation. Equity securities, listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices for long and short positions. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from recognized independent pricing agents each day that the Funds are open for business.

Under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value will be determined for securities for which quotations are not readily available by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable, of the Adviser, subject to oversight by the Board. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Adviser’s Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value (“NAV”) of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the 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.

17

SP Funds

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 each Fund’s investments as of April 30, 2024:

Refer to the Schedule of Investments for industry classifications.

A.Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” as defined in Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. No provision has been made for federal income taxes as it is the intention of the Funds to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of income and realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all excise and income taxes.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, the Funds intend to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of their net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of their net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years. As a registered investment company, the Funds are subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if the Funds do not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the fund’s fiscal year). The Funds generally intend to distribute income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize (but not necessarily eliminate) the imposition of such excise tax. The Funds may retain income or capital gains and pay excise tax when it is determined that doing so is in the best interest of shareholders. Management, in consultation with the Board, evaluates the costs of the excise tax relative to the benefits of retaining income and capital gains, including that such undistributed amounts (net of the excise tax paid) remain available for investment by the Funds and are available to supplement future distributions. Tax expense is disclosed in the Statements of Operations, if applicable.

As of April 30, 2024, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Delaware; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.

B.Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

18

SP Funds

is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Debt income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

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 period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

D.Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, for the Funds are declared and paid at least monthly. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities, if any, for the Funds normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

E.Use of Estimates. The preparation of 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 statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F.Share Valuation. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding for the 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.

G.Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

H.Cash. Cash includes non-interest bearing and non-restricted cash with one institution.

I.Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board-approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) that requires, among other things, that each Fund limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. An illiquid investment is any investment that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If a Fund should be in a position where the value of illiquid investments held by the Fund exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets, the Fund will take such steps as set forth in the Program.

J.Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2022, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Funds are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of these amendments on the financial statements.

K.Other Regulatory Matters. In October 2022, the SEC adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds, Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Funds to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.

SP Funds

L.Organizational and Offering Costs. All organizational and offering costs for the Trust and the Funds will be borne by the Adviser. The Trust and the Funds do not have an obligation to reimburse the Adviser for organization and offering costs paid on their behalf.

NOTE 3 – PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

A.Concentration Risk. Each Fund’s investments will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent the Index is so concentrated. Accordingly, the value of shares of the Funds may rise and fall more than the value of shares that invest in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.

B.Currency Risk. Because the Funds’ NAVs are determined in U.S. dollars, the Funds’ NAVs could decline if the currency of a non-U.S. market in which the Funds invest depreciates against the U.S. dollar or if there are delays or limits on repatriation of such currency. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the Funds’ NAVs may change quickly and without warning.

C.Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in emerging market securities impose risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed countries, including smaller market capitalization; significant price volatility; and restrictions on foreign investment. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments and may present the risk of nationalization of businesses, expropriation, and confiscatory taxation, or, in certain instances, reversion to closed market, centrally planned economies. Emerging market economies may also experience more severe downturns. The currencies of emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar, and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by the Funds. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries. In addition, less information may be available about companies in emerging markets than in developed markets because such emerging markets companies may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or to other regulatory practices required by U.S. companies which may lead to potential errors in index data, index computation and/or index construction. Such conditions may impact the ability of the Funds to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities; adversely affect the trading market and price for such securities; and/or cause the Funds to decline in value.

D.Equity Securities Risk. Equity securities are subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other assets classes. The Index is composed of common stocks, which generally subject their holders to more risks than preferred stocks and debt securities because common stockholders’ claims are subordinated to those of holders of preferred stocks and debt securities upon the bankruptcy of the issuer.

E.Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) Risks.

Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Funds have a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem shares of the Funds (“Shares”) directly from the Funds (known as “Authorized Participants” or “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 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.

Cash Redemption Risk. Each Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. For example, the Fund may not be able to redeem in-kind certain securities held by the Fund. In such a case, the Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used. Additionally, purchases and redemptions of Shares for cash may cause the Fund to incur brokerage costs and those costs could be imposed on the Funds, thus decreasing the Funds’ NAV to the extent that the costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an authorized participant.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

20

SP Funds

Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate a Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. Because securities held by the Funds may trade on foreign exchanges that are closed when the Fund’s primary listing exchange is open, the Fund is likely to experience premiums and discounts greater than those of ETFs holding only domestic securities.

Trading. Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Funds’ underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for Shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings. These adverse effects on liquidity for Shares, in turn, could lead to wider bid/ask spreads and differences between the market price of Shares and the underlying value of those Shares.

F.Foreign Securities Risks. Certain foreign countries may impose exchange control regulations, restrictions on repatriation of profit on investments or of capital invested, local taxes on investments, and restrictions on the ability of issuers of non-U.S. securities to make payments of principal and interest to investors located outside the country, whether from currency blockage or otherwise. In addition, the Funds will be subject to risks associated with adverse political and economic developments in foreign countries, including seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits, the imposition of economic sanctions, different legal systems and laws relating to bankruptcy and creditors’ rights, and the potential inability to enforce legal judgments, all of which could cause the Funds to lose money on their investments in non-U.S. securities. The cost of servicing external debt will also generally be adversely affected by rising international interest rates, as many external debt obligations bear interest at rates which are adjusted based upon international interest rates. Because non-U.S. securities may trade on days when Shares are not priced, NAVs may change at times when Shares cannot be sold.

G.General Market Risk. Securities markets and individual securities may increase or decrease in value. Security prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to market or economic news and conditions, and securities markets also tend to move in cycles. If there is a general decline in the securities markets, it is possible your investment may lose value regardless of the individual results of the companies in which the Funds invest. The magnitude of up and down price or market fluctuations over time is sometimes referred to as “volatility,” and it can be significant. In addition, different asset classes and geographic markets may experience periods of significant correlation with each other. As a result of this correlation, the securities and markets in which the Funds invest may experience volatility due to market, economic, political or social events and conditions that may not readily appear to directly relate to such securities, the securities’ issuer or the markets in which they trade.

H.Geographic Investment Risk. To the extent the Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, they are more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region.

I.Large-Capitalization Companies Risk. Large-capitalization companies may be less able than smaller capitalization companies to adapt to changing market conditions. Large-capitalization companies may be more mature and subject to more limited growth potential compared with smaller capitalization companies. During different market cycles, the performance of large capitalization companies has trailed the overall performance of the broader securities markets.

J.Models and Data Risk. The composition of the Shariah World Index and Shariah Technology Index (each an “Index”, and collectively, the “Indices”) are heavily dependent on proprietary quantitative models as well as information and data supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”). When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities from the Index universe that would have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and complete. If the composition of the Indices reflects such errors, the Funds’ portfolio can be expected to also reflect the errors.

K.Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each fund is a non-diversified fund. In general, a non-diversified fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer and may own fewer securities than other funds. Accordingly, a non-diversified fund is generally subject to the risk that a large loss in an individual security will cause a greater loss for the fund than it would if the fund was required to hold a larger number of securities or smaller positions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

21

SP Funds

L.Passive Investment Risk. The Funds invest in the securities included in, or representative of, its respective Index regardless of their investment merit. Each Fund does not attempt to outperform its respective Index or take defensive positions in declining markets. As a result, a Fund’s performance may be adversely affected by a general decline in the market segments relating to its Index.

M.Recently Organized Fund Risk. The Funds are recently organized management investment companies with limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record or history on which to base their investment decision. There can be no assurance that the Funds will grow to or maintain an economically viable size.

N.Sharia-Compliant Investing Risk. Islamic religious law, commonly known as “Shariah,” has certain restrictions regarding finance and commercial activities permitted for Muslims, including interest restrictions and prohibited industries, which reduces the size of the overall universe in which the Funds can invest. The strategy to reduce the investable universe may limit investment opportunities and adversely affect each Fund’s performance, especially in comparison to a more diversified fund. Because Shariah principles preclude the use of interest-paying instruments, cash reserves do not earn income. To the extent that securities become non-compliant following purchase, such securities may be held for a temporary period of time. Additionally, certain companies that meet Shariah screens may nevertheless generate dividend income that is subject to purification.

O.Tracking Error Risk. As with all index funds, the performance of the Funds and its Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Funds incur operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, the Funds may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times, including during its initial investment period, or may hold securities not included in the Index.

P.Underlying Index Risk. Neither the Adviser nor the Index Provider is able to guarantee the continuous availability or timeliness of the production of the Index. The calculation and dissemination of the Index values may be delayed if the information technology or other facilities of the Index Provider, calculation agent, data providers and/or relevant stock exchange malfunction for any reason. A significant delay may cause trading in shares of a Fund to be suspended. Errors in Index data, computation and/or the construction in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider, calculation agent or other applicable party for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Funds and their shareholders.

Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Exchange. 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 (“Creation Units”). Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

Each Fund currently offers 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 is $300 for the Global Technology ETF and $14,500 for the World ETF, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for transaction costs associated with the cash transactions. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed in the capital shares transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.

NOTE 8 – RECENT MARKET EVENTS

U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including rising inflation, uncertainty regarding central banks’ interest rate increases, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions, political events, the war between Russia and Ukraine, significant conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East, and the impact of COVID-19. The global recovery from COVID-19 may last for an extended period of time. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so. The Middle East conflict has led to significant loss of life, damaged infrastructure and escalated tensions both in the region and globally. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. As a result, the risk environment remains elevated. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Funds in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund’s investment objective, but there can be no assurance that they will be successful in doing so.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there are no subsequent events that would need to be recorded or disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES For the Period Ended April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of the Funds’ shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Funds. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from November 30, 2023, to April 30, 2024, for the Global Technology ETF and December 19, 2023, to April 30, 2024, for World ETF.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The examples include, but are not limited to, unitary fees. However, the examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of the Funds’ shares. Therefore, the second line of the following tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Basis for Trustee’s Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory AgreemenT (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of SP Funds Trust (the “Trust”) met on November 2, 2023 (the “Meeting”) to consider the initial approval of the sub-advisory agreement between ShariaPortfolio, Inc. (“ShariaPortfolio” or the “Adviser”) and Toroso Investment, LLC (“Toroso” or the “Sub-Adviser”), on behalf of the SP Funds S&P Global Technology ETF (the “Global Technology ETF”) and the SP Funds S&P World (ex-US) ETF (the “World ETF”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). In addition, on November 2, 2023, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), and who constitute a majority of the Board, met with their legal counsel to consider the sub-advisory agreement.

In connection with its consideration of the sub-advisory agreement, the Board reviewed and discussed various information that had been provided prior to the Meeting, including the subadvisory agreement, a memorandum provided by the Independent Trustees’ legal counsel summarizing the guidelines relevant to the Board’s consideration of the approval of the subadvisory agreement, a memorandum and other information provided by the Sub-Adviser (including the Sub-Adviser’s Form ADV Part 1A and select financial information of the Sub-Adviser), the fees to be paid to the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser, best execution and trading information and other pertinent information.  Based on its evaluation of this information, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the sub-advisory agreement for the Funds for an initial two-year period.

In considering the sub-advisory agreement and reaching its conclusions, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that it determined were relevant, including the factors below.  In deciding to approve the sub-advisory agreement for each Fund, the Board did not identify any single factor as determinative but considered all factors together.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided to the Funds

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the SubAdviser to the Funds.  The Board discussed the experience and resources of Toroso, as well as the depth and qualifications of the professional personnel of the Sub-Adviser. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser to the Funds were appropriate and that the Funds were likely to benefit from services provided under the sub-advisory agreement.

Investment Performance

Because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, the Board did not consider any performance information with respect to the Funds.  The Board did consider the performance of other funds for which Toroso serves as trading adviser or sub-adviser.

Expense Information

The Board examined the proposed fee information for the Funds, noting that the Sub-Adviser’s fee would be paid by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability

The Board considered information about the financial condition of the Sub-Adviser and determined that the Sub-Adviser’s financial condition was sound and that the Sub-Adviser has maintained adequate profit levels to support its proposed services to the Funds from the revenue of its overall investment advisory business. 

In light of all of the information that it received and considered, the Board concluded that the proposed sub-advisory fee of each Fund was reasonable.

Economies of Scale and Fee Levels Reflecting Those Economies

Because the Funds had not yet commenced operations, the Board did not consider whether any alternative fee structures, such as breakpoint fees, would be appropriate to reflect any economies of scale that may result from increases in a Fund’s assets.

Benefits to be Derived from the Relationship with the Funds

The Board considered other potential benefits to the Sub-Adviser from serving as trading sub-adviser to the Funds (in addition to the sub-advisory fee), including greater name recognition.  The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s affiliated entities may experience indirect benefits from the Sub-Adviser’s association with the Funds.  The Board concluded that other benefits that may be realized by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Funds were appropriate.

Based on their evaluation of the above factors, as well as other factors relevant to their consideration of the sub-advisory agreement, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the approval of the sub-advisory agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
