NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Series Portfolios Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated July 27, 2015. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Elm Market Navigator ETF (the "Fund") is a diversified series having its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The Fund's investment objective is long-term, risk-adjusted growth of capital. The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund ("ETF") that seeks its investment objective by using Dynamic Index Investing®, a proprietary, rules-based asset allocation methodology designed by Elm Partners Management LLC (the "Adviser"). Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser, pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (see Note 3). The Adviser is responsible for providing management oversight, investment advisory services, day-to-day management of the Fund's assets, as well as compliance, sales, marketing, and operations services to the Fund. All organizational costs incurred to establish the Fund and enable it to legally do business were borne by the Adviser and are not subject to reimbursement by the Fund.
The Fund commenced operations on February 10, 2025 by acquiring substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Elm Partners Portfolio LLC, an unregistered private investment fund (the "Predecessor Fund"), in a tax-free reorganization in which investors in the Predecessor Fund received shares of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund had an investment objective and investment policies that were, in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund commenced operations on December 30, 2011.
The Fund offers a single class of shares. The Fund is considered an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The Fund does not hold itself out as related to any other series of the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor does it share the same investment adviser with any other series of the Trust. The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").
A.
Investment Valuation - The following is a summary of the Fund's pricing procedures. It is intended to be a general discussion and may not necessarily reflect all the pricing procedures followed by the Fund. Fixed income securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of less than 60 days, are valued, at the evaluated mean price between the bid and asked prices in accordance with prices supplied by an approved Pricing Service. Pricing Services may use various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. In the absence of a price from a Pricing Service, Fair Value will be determined. These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange traded funds, are valued at their reported net asset values ("NAV"). To the extent these securities are valued at their NAV per share, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Fund and its Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating the Fund's NAV. 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 the portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers, dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)(Continued)
disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has 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 Fund's 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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not 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 securities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2026:

As of the period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities, nor were there any transfers into or out of Level 3. Refer to the Fund's Schedule of Investments for further information on the classification of investments.
B.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Fund considers highly liquid short-term fixed income investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months and money market funds to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are included in short term investments on the Schedule of Investments as well as in investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary cash overdrafts are reported as a payable to custodian.
C.
Guarantees and Indemnifications - In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that has not yet occurred.
D.
Security Transactions, Income and Amortization - The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and regulations. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities using the constant yield method. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method.

E.
Allocation of Expenses - Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that Fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust or by other equitable means.
F.
Share Valuation - The NAV per share of the 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 (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund's shares will not be priced on days which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed for trading.
G.
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 and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H.
Statement of Cash Flows - Pursuant to the Cash Flows Topic of the Codification, the Fund qualifies for an exemption from the requirement to provide a statement of cash flows and has elected not to provide a statement of cash flows.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Trust has an agreement with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, a unified management fee (accrued daily) based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund at the annual rate of 0.20%.
Prior to January 28, 2026, the Adviser fee was 0.22% of the average daily net assets of the Fund and the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee so that the effective rate was 0.20%. Fees that were waived by the Adviser are not recoupable.
Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund except for interest charges on any borrowings, dividends, and other expenses on securities sold short; 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; distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and the unified management fee payable to the Adviser (collectively, the "Excluded Expenses").
The Advisory Agreement continues in effect for an initial two year period, and from year to year thereafter only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board or by vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities and by a majority of the Independent Trustees, who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or interested persons of any such party, in each case cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Advisory Agreement. The Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty by the Trust on behalf of a Fund on not more than 60 days', nor less than 30 days', written notice to the Adviser when authorized either by a majority vote of the Fund's shareholders or by a vote of a majority of the Trustees, or by the Adviser on not more than 60 days' written notice to the Trust, and will automatically terminate in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act). The Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser shall not be liable under such agreement for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of portfolio transactions for the Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder.
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services ("Fund Services" or "Administrator") acts as the Fund's Administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant.

to a monthly fee at an annual rate based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund, subject to annual minimums. The Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund's Administrator, transfer agent, fund accountant and custodian in accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Quasar Distributors, LLC is the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor"). The Distributor is not affiliated with the Adviser, Fund Services, or its affiliated companies.
4. TAX FOOTNOTE
Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of, and during the period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority and did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund is subject to examination by taxing authorities for the tax periods since the commencement of operations.
As of September 30, 2025, the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year end, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
 
 
 
 
Tax cost of investments*
 
 
$452,212,696
Gross tax unrealized appreciation
 
 
49,910,046
Gross tax unrealized depreciation

*
Represents cost for federal income tax purposes and differs from cost for financial reporting due to wash sales.
As of September 30, 2025, the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year end, the Fund had $4,207,826 in short-term capital loss carryovers which will be permitted to be carried over for an unlimited period. 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. For the taxable period ended September 30, 2025, the Fund did not defer, on a tax basis, any qualified late year losses.
Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund intends to distribute all net investment income and net realized gains at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, GAAP requires that they be reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.

5. DISTRIBUTION FEES
The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"). In accordance with the Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets each year for certain distribution-related activities. As authorized by the Board, no Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Fund and there are no plans to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of the Fund's assets. The Adviser and its affiliates may, out of their own resources, pay amounts to third parties for distribution or marketing services on behalf of the Fund.
6. SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Shares of the Fund are listed and trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in blocks of 25,000 shares called "Creation Units." Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally for cash, but may also be issued and redeemed in kind for securities held by or eligible to be held by the Fund. 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 Fund. 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 Fund. 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.
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 Fund is $300, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Fund's Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the creation order costs associated with the order, or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee, payable to the Fund, 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 received by the Fund, if any, are displayed in the Capital Shares Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. 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.
7. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
The aggregate purchases and sales (excluding short-term investments), creations in-kind, and redemptions in-kind by the Fund for the period ended March 31, 2026, were as follows:

8. SECURITIES LENDING
Following the terms of a securities lending agreement with the Fund's Custodian, the Fund may lend securities from its portfolio to brokers, dealers and financial institutions in order to increase the return on its portfolio, primarily through the receipt of borrowing fees and earnings on invested collateral. Any such loan must be initially secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to 105% of the value of the loaned securities that are foreign securities or 102% of the value of any other loaned securities. Loaned securities and collateral shall be marked to market daily and the margin restored in the event the collateralization is below 100% of the value of the securities loaned. During the time securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the applicable Fund any accrued income on those securities, and the Fund may invest the cash collateral and earn income or receive an agreed-upon fee from a borrower that has delivered cash-equivalent collateral. In determining whether or not to lend a security to a particular broker, dealer or financial institution, the Adviser considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including the size, creditworthiness and reputation of the broker, relevant facts dealer or financial institution. Securities lending involves the risk of a default or insolvency of the borrower. In either of these cases, a Fund could experience delays in recovering securities or collateral or could lose all or part of the value of the loaned securities. A Fund also could lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities. Additionally, the loaned portfolio securities may not be available to a Fund on a timely basis and that Fund may therefore lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. Any decline in the value of a security that occurs while the security is out on loan would continue to be borne by the applicable Fund. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund had securities on loan with a value of $14,479,008 and collateral value of $14,317,977.
The Fund receives cash as collateral in return for securities lent as part of the securities lending program. The collateral is invested in the First American Government Obligations Fund of which the investment objective is to seek to maximize current income to the extent with the preservation of capital and liquidity and maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 per unit. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities lending transactions is overnight and continuous. The Fund manages credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral agreements with third party borrowers that provide the Fund, 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. The net income earned by the Fund on investments of cash collateral received from borrowers for the securities loaned to it are reflected in the Fund's Statement of Operations. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Fund's Statement of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of cash collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to the Custodian as lending agent.
9. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
Management has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the Fund. The Fund operates as a single segment entity. The Fund's income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the Adviser's Founder and Chief Investment Officer, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Compliance Officer, and Chief Revenue Officer, each who serve on the chief operating decision maker committee, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that no items require recognition or disclosure.
