How did the Fund perform last year?
• For the period of January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, the T-REX2X Long Bitcoin Daily Target ETF (the "Fund") returned -39.37%.
• In comparison, the S&P 500®ETF returned 17.88% for the same period.
What key factors affected the Fund's performance?
• Cryptocurrency markets experienced heightened volatility and declines during 2025 amid shifting monetary policy expectations and regulatory uncertainty.
• The Fund generally aimed to provide 2x daily exposure to the price of Bitcoin.
• Declines in Bitcoin prices, combined with the leveraged structure, amplified losses during market drawdowns.
• Compounding effects from daily rebalancing, volatility in Bitcoin price movements, and management fees negatively impacted results.
Understanding Leveraged ETFs
The Fund seeks daily investment results that correspond to 200% of the daily performance of Bitcoin. Due to the effects of compounding, holding periods longer than one day may result in returns that significantly differ from 200% of Bitcoin's cumulative performance over the same period.
Principal Risks
• Leverage Risk - The use of leverage magnifies both gains and losses.
• Compounding Risk - Daily rebalancing can cause performance drift in volatile markets.
• Digital Asset Risk - Bitcoin is subject to extreme price volatility and regulatory uncertainty.
• Market Risk - Financial markets may decline due to economic or geopolitical events.
• Derivatives Risk - The Fund uses swaps and other derivatives that may increase volatility.

The investment objectives of the Funds are as follows:
|
Fund |
Objective |
|
Long Bitcoin |
To seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the daily performance of spot Bitcoin. |
|
Inverse Bitcoin |
To seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the inverse (or opposite) of the daily performance of spot Bitcoin. |
|
Long Ether |
To seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the daily performance of spot Ether. |
|
Inverse Ether |
To seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the inverse (or opposite) of the daily performance of spot Ether. |
Each Fund is deemed to be individual operating and reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy, as outlined in each Fund's prospectus under the heading "Principal Investment Strategies," are used by Tuttle Capital Management, LLC (the "Advisor") to make investment decisions, and the results of the Funds' operations, as shown in its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Financial Highlights, are the information utilized for the day-to-daymanagement of the Funds. Due to the significance of oversight and its role in the Funds' management, each Fund's investment manager is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies".

Security Valuation
The Funds record investments at fair value. Generally, the Funds' domestic securities are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each security's primary exchange. Securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on such exchange. Other assets for which market prices are not readily available are valued at their fair value under procedures set by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Although the Board is ultimately responsible for fair value determinations under Rule 2a-5of the 1940 Act, the Board has delegated day-to-dayresponsibility for oversight of the valuation of the Funds' assets to the Advisor as the Valuation Designee pursuant to the Funds' policies and procedures. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) and for which over-the-countermarket quotations are readily available generally are valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask price on such over-the-countermarket.
Certain securities or investments for which daily market quotes are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to methodologies established by the Board. Debt securities not traded on an exchange may be valued at prices supplied by a pricing agent(s) approved by the Board based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics, such as rating, interest rate and maturity. Short-terminvestments having a maturity of 60 days or less may be generally valued at amortized cost when it approximates fair value.
Exchange traded options are valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the exchange on which such options are traded. Futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the exchange, or, if no settlement price is available, at the last sale price as of the close of business prior to when a Fund calculates Net Asset Value ("NAV"). Other securities for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee (as defined below). Swap agreements and other derivatives are generally valued daily depending on the type of instrument and reference assets based upon market prices, the mean between bid and asked price quotations from market makers, by a pricing service at a price received from the counterparty to the swap, or by the Valuation Designee in accordance with the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

The Funds have adopted fair valuation accounting standards that establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. GAAP established a three-tierhierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-basedinputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the level of inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of December 31, 2025:

Refer to the Funds' Consolidated Schedule of Investments for a listing of the securities by type. The Funds held no Level 3 securities at any time during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Security Transactions and Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is determined generally on a specific identification basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
Accounting Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of investment income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes
Each subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, each Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of its subsidiary's income. Net investment losses of each Subsidiary cannot be deducted by each Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
The Funds have complied and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Funds' tax returns. The Funds have no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense as incurred.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. For the year ended December 31, 2025, such reclassifications were attributable primarily to the utilization of earnings, non-deductibletaxes paid, and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares and the tax treatment of earnings from subsidiary.

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

Creation Units
The Funds issue and redeem shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in blocks of at least 10,000 shares known as "Creation Units." Purchasers of Creation Units ("Authorized Participants") will be required to pay to U.S. Bank, N.A. (the "Custodian") a fixed transaction fee ("Creation Transaction Fee") in connection with creation orders that is intended to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each creation order is $250 for Long Bitcoin and Inverse Bitcoin, and $300 for Long Ether and Inverse Ether. Authorized Participants wishing to redeem shares will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee ("Redemption Transaction Fee") to offset the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units. The standard Redemption Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Redemption Transaction Fee charged by the Custodian for each redemption order is $250 for Long Bitcoin and Inverse Bitcoin, and $300 for Long Ether and Inverse Ether.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealeror other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company ("DTC") participant and, in each case, must have executed an agreement with the Funds' principal underwriter (the "Distributor") with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Units ("Participation Agreement"). Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. The following table discloses the Creation Unit breakdown based on the NAV as of December 31, 2025:

To the extent contemplated by a participant agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to the Distributor, on behalf of the Funds, by the time as set forth in a participant agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking are secured by the Authorized Participant's delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the participant agreement. A participant agreement may permit the Funds to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of the Funds acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and Collateral Payable upon Return of Deposit Securities on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
Derivatives
Each Fund may enter into total return swap contracts, which may be used either as economically similar substitutes for owning the reference asset specified in the swap, such as the securities that comprise a given market index, particular securities or commodities, or other assets or indicators. They also may be used as a means of obtaining exposure in markets where the reference asset is unavailable or it may otherwise be impossible or impracticable for a Fund to own that asset. "Total return" refers to the payment (or receipt) of the total return on the underlying reference asset, which is then exchanged for the receipt (or payment) of an interest rate. Total return swap contracts provide a Fund with the additional flexibility of gaining exposure to a market or sector index in a potentially more economical way.
Most swap contracts entered into by a Fund provide for the calculation and settlement of the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a "net basis" with a single payment. Consequently, a Fund's current obligations (or rights) under a swap contract will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the "net amount"). Other swap contracts may require initial premium (discount) payments as well as periodic payments (receipts) related to the interest leg of the swap or to the return on the reference entity. A Fund's current obligations under the types of swaps that the Funds expect to enter into (e.g., total return swap contacts) will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to a Fund by the counterparty to the swap)

|
and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be collateralized by the Fund posting collateral to a tri-partyaccount between the Funds' custodian, the Funds, and the counterparty. However, typically no payments will be made until the settlement date.
Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, if a swap is entered into on a net basis and if the counterparty to a swap agreement defaults, a Fund's risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any.
The following table presents the Funds' gross derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty and contract type, net of amounts available for the offset under a master netting agreement and the related collateral received or pledged by each Fund as of December 31, 2025.

Neither of the Funds will invest directly in Bitcoin, Ether or any other digital assets. Rather, each Fund seeks to gain exposure through investments in subsidiaries organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Each of the Funds may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its respective subsidiary. Each subsidiary is wholly-ownedand controlled by its respective Fund. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights of each Fund include the accounts of their respective subsidiary. All inter-companyaccounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidations for each Fund. Each subsidiary is advised by the Advisor and acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Funds' investment objectives and policies specified in the Funds' prospectus and statement of additional information. Each subsidiary will generally invest in derivatives, including total return swap contracts, and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for total return swap contracts. The inception date of each subsidiary for Long and Inverse Bitcoin was July 11, 2024. The inception date of each subsidiary for Long and Inverse Ether was October 25, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the net assets of each Fund were invested in its subsidiary as follows:

The Funds utilized sales during the 30-daycure period prescribed under the Internal Revenue Code to remain in compliance with a diversification requirement that requires funds to limit investments in any single asset to less than 25% of each Fund's total assets.
Officers and Trustees Indemnification
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

NOTE 4 - DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL
Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-termgains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the period ended December 31, 2024, respectively, were as follows:

Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 7 of the financial statements, on February 19, 2026, the Board of Trustees of World Funds Trust approved the plan of liquidation of T-Rex2X Inverse Ether Daily Target ETF. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
At a meeting held on December 10-11, 2025, the "Meeting"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the World Funds Trust (the "Trust") considered the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Tuttle Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and Tuttle Capital Management, LLC ("Tuttle," or the "Adviser"), with respect to the T-Rex2X Long Bitcoin Daily Target ETF ("Long Bitcoin Fund"), the T-Rex2X Inverse Bitcoin Daily Target ETF ("Inverse Bitcoin Fund"), the T-Rex2X Long Ether Daily Target ETF ("Long Ether Fund"), and the T-Rex2X Inverse Ether Daily Target ETF ("Inverse Ether Fund") (together, the "Funds"). The Board reflected on its discussions with the representatives from Tuttle earlier in the Meeting regarding the manner in which the Tuttle ETFs are managed and the roles and responsibilities of Tuttle under the Tuttle Advisory Agreement.
The Board reviewed a memorandum from counsel of the Trust ("Trust Counsel") that addressed the Trustees' duties when considering the approval of the Tuttle Advisory Agreement and the responses of Tuttle to requests for information from Trust Counsel on behalf of the Board. He noted that the response included information on the personnel of and services to be provided by Tuttle, an expense comparison analysis for the Funds and comparable ETFs, and the Tuttle Advisory Agreement. He discussed the types of information and factors

|
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | DECEMBER 31, 2025 |
|

that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the Tuttle Advisory Agreement, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Tuttle; (ii) the investment performance of Tuttle; (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by Tuttle from the relationship with the Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of its investors; and (v) possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.
In assessing these factors and reaching its decisions, the Board took into consideration information specifically prepared or presented at this Meeting. The Board requested or was provided with information and reports relevant to the approval of the Tuttle Advisory Agreement, including: (i) information regarding the services and support provided by Tuttle to the Funds and their shareholders; (ii) presentations by management of Tuttle addressing the investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operations utilized in managing the Funds; (iii) information pertaining to Tuttle's compliance policies and procedures; and (iv) the memorandum from Trust Counsel that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving the Tuttle Advisory Agreement, including the material factors set forth above and the types of information included in each factor that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision.
Trust Counsel reminded the Board that it also requested and received various informational materials including, without limitation: (i) documents containing information about Tuttle, including personnel and the services provided by Tuttle to the T-REXETFs, the firm's compliance program, current legal matters, and other general information; (ii) expenses of the Funds and comparative expense information for other ETFs with strategies similar to the Funds prepared by an independent third party; (iii) the effect of size on the Funds' performance and expenses; and (iv) benefits realized by Tuttle from its relationship with the Funds.
The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Tuttle Advisory Agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. In deciding whether to approve the Tuttle Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Tuttle.
In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities of Tuttle pursuant to the Tuttle Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the services provided by Tuttle to the Funds, including, without limitation, the investment strategies

and techniques to be used in managing the Funds; Tuttle's investment decision-makingprocesses, managing swap exposure and processes for trade execution and broker-dealerselection for portfolio transactions; and the anticipated efforts of Tuttle to promote the Funds and grow their assets. The Board also considered the experience of Tuttle's personnel and information provided regarding the firm's compliance program and policies and procedures. After reviewing the foregoing and further information from Tuttle, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Tuttle was satisfactory and adequate for the Funds.
The investment performance of Tuttle.
Fund The Board compared the performance of the Funds to funds selected by Broadridge from their Morningstar category, Trading Miscellaneous ("Category"), and a peer group selected from the Category ("Peer Group") for the one-yearperiod ended October 31, 2025. In considering the investment performance of the Inverse Bitcoin Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund had underperformed the median of the Category but outperformed the median of the Peer Group. The Trustees noted that the Long Bitcoin Fund had outperformed the median of the Category and Peer Group. The Trustees further noted that the Inverse Ether Fund and the Long Ether Fund had underperformed the median of the Category and Peer Group. After a detailed discussion of the Funds' performance, the Board concluded, in light of all the facts and circumstances, that the investment performance of the Funds was satisfactory.
The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by Tuttle from the relationship with the Funds.
In this regard, the Board considered the financial condition of Tuttle and the level of commitment to the Funds by Tuttle. The Board also considered the assets and expenses of the Funds, including the nature and frequency of advisory payments. The Trustees noted the information on profitability provided by Tuttle. The Trustees considered the unitary fee structure proposed by Tuttle. The Board compared the proposed unitary fee of each of the Funds to the advisory fees and gross and net expense ratios of funds in the Category and Peer Group
The Trustees noted that the advisory fee of each Fund was lower than the median of the Category and equal to the median of the Peer Group. The Trustees also noted that the gross and net expense ratios with respect to each Fund except the T-Rex2X Long Bitcoin Fund, were lower than the median of the Category and Peer Group, and that the gross and net expense ratios of the Long Bitcoin Fund were higher than the median of the Category and Peer Group. The Trustees also

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | December 31, 2025 |
|

noted that Tuttle does not manage any separate accounts with strategies similar to those of the Funds. The Trustees considered Tuttle's profitability in managing the Funds, noting that the Funds are projected to be profitable to Tuttle over the first two years of operation. After further consideration, the Board concluded that the profitability and fees to be paid to Tuttle were within an acceptable range in light of the services to be rendered by Tuttle.
The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds' investors.
The Trustees considered that it was not anticipated that the Funds would be of sufficient size to achieve economies of scale at the current asset levels of the Funds. The Board noted that the unitary fee structure limits the shareholders' exposure to underlying operating expense increases.
Possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.
In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the advisory personnel assigned to the Funds; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the Funds; and the substance and administration of the Code of Ethics and other relevant policies of Tuttle. The Board noted that Tuttle has represented that swap transactions are not eligible for soft dollars and that it does not anticipate utilizing commission recapture with regard to the Funds. The Board also considered benefits for Tuttle in managing the Funds. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board concluded that the standards and practices of Tuttle relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest, as well as the benefits derived by Tuttle from managing the Funds were satisfactory.
After additional consideration of the factors delineated in the memorandum provided by Trust Counsel and further discussion and careful review by the Board at the Meeting, the Board determined that the compensation payable under the Tuttle Advisory Agreement was fair, reasonable and within a range of what could have been negotiated at arms-lengthin light of all the surrounding circumstances, and they approved the continuation of the Tuttle Advisory Agreement.
