Total annual operating expenses, as disclosed in the NightShares 500 ETF's (the "Fund") prospectus dated May 18, 2022, were 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Pursuant to its Management Agreement, AlphaTrAI Funds, Inc. (the "Adviser") is required to pay all of the operating expenses of the Fund except portfolio transactions and other investment related costs (such as brokerage fees and commissions, and fees and expenses associated with investments in derivative instruments, including futures, option and swap fees and expenses), taxes, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), extraordinary expenses, and any indirect expenses (such as fees and expenses associated with investment in acquired funds and other collective investment vehicles). Additional information pertaining to the Fund's expense ratio as of November 30, 2022 can be found in the financial highlights.

The performance quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the Fund distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The Fund's investment objective, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling (833) NITE-ETF. The Fund's per share net asset value ("NAV") is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return ("Market Price") is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which the shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated. Market Price and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. Since exchange-traded funds are bought and sold at prices set by the market, which can result in a premium or discount to NAV, the returns calculated using Market Price can differ from those calculated using NAV. For more information about current performance, holdings or historical premiums/discounts, please visit the Fund's website at https://nightshares.com.

(a) Return
figures reflect any change in price per share and assume the reinvestment of all distributions. Total returns for less than one year

(b) The
 S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index is a widely recognized unmanaged index of 500 large capitalization
 companies and is representative of a broader market and range of securities than are found

 have been deducted from the Fund's returns. Index returns assume reinvestment of all
 distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes and fees. Individuals cannot invest
 directly in an index.

**NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION**

NightShares 500 ETF, NightShares 2000 ETF and NightShares 500 1x/1.5x ETF (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), as diversified series of Unified Series Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust is an open-end investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated October 14, 2002, as amended (the "Trust Agreement"). The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. Each Fund is one of a series of funds currently authorized by the Board. The Funds' investment adviser is AlphaTrAI Funds, Inc. (the "Adviser"). The Adviser has retained Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser") to serve as sub-adviser to the Funds. The investment objective of the NightShares 500 ETF is to seek to return the night performance of a portfolio of 500 large cap U.S. companies. The investment objective of the NightShares 2000 ETF is to seek to return the night performance of a portfolio of 2000 small cap U.S. companies. The investment objective of the NightShares 500 1x/1.5x ETF is to seek to provide investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to 100% (1x) of the performance of a portfolio of 500 large cap U.S. companies during the day and to 150% (1.5x) of the portfolio performance at night for a single day, not for any other period. A "single day" is measured from the time the Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the Fund's next NAV calculation.

**NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies" including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").

**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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Federal Income Taxes** – The Funds make no provision for federal income or excise tax. Each Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. Each Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment

| **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** |

---

income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense.

As of and during the period ended November 30, 2022, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations when incurred. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the interim tax period since inception, as applicable) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements and does not expect this to change over the next twelve months.

**Expenses** – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund's relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).

**Security Transactions and Related Income** – The Funds follow industry practice and record security transactions on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statement and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

**Dividends and Distributions** – Each Fund intends to distribute its net investment income and net realized long-term and short-term capital gains, if any, at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the period from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate 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, they are reclassified among 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 NAV per share of the Funds.

**NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

Each Fund values its portfolio securities at fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open for business. Fair value is defined as the price that a

| **Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)** |
| *November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)* |

---

Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained and available from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

● Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date

● Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

● Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available)

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 which is reported is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Equity securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price on the security's primary exchange. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange-traded security is generally valued at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using market quotations and when the market is considered active, the security is classified as a Level 1 security. In the event that market quotations are not readily available

or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, a Fund values its securities and other assets at fair value in accordance with policies established by and under the general supervision of the Board. Under these policies, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used.

Debt securities are valued by using the mean between the closing bid and ask prices provided by a pricing service. If the closing bid and ask prices are not readily available, the pricing service may provide a price determined by a matrix pricing method. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used to value fixed income securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices. Matrix pricing takes into consideration recent transactions, yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant for the actual security being priced and for other securities with similar characteristics. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 2 securities. If the Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair value of the securities or when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, securities are valued at fair value as determined by the Valuation Designee, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 3 securities.

Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the mutual funds. These securities are categorized as Level 1 securities.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded, and when the market is considered active, will generally be categorized as Level 1 securities.

In accordance with the Trust's valuation policies and fair value determinations pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Adviser as Valuation Designee is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single method exists for determining fair value, because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of a security being valued by the Valuation Designee would be the amount that the Funds might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale. Methods that are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market prices of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Fair-value pricing is permitted if, in the Valuation Designee's opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a

small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before a Fund's NAV calculation that may affect a security's value, or the Valuation Designee is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of November 30, 2022:

<sup>(a)</sup> The amount shown represents the net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of the futures contracts.

The Funds did not hold any investments at the end of the reporting period for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period.

**NOTE 4. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS**

Futures Contracts – The Funds may invest in futures contracts to hedge or manage risks associated with each Fund's securities investments or to obtain market exposure in an effort to generate returns. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Funds' agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. If the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, each Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to

the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Each Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its unitary management fee and/or reimburse expenses of the NightShares 500 1x/1.5x ETF so that total annual Fund operating expenses, excluding portfolio transaction and other investment-related costs (such as brokerage fees and commissions, and fees and expenses associated with investments in derivative instruments, including futures, option and swap fees and expenses), taxes, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), extraordinary expenses, and any indirect expenses (such as fees and expenses associated with investment in acquired funds and other collective investment vehicles), do not exceed 0.65% through October 31, 2023. This expense cap may not be terminated prior to this date except by the Board. Each waiver/expense payment by the Adviser is subject to recoupment by the Adviser from the Fund in the three years following the date the particular waiver/expense payment occurred, but only if such recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the annual expense limitation in effect at the time of the waiver/expense payment and any expense limitation in effect at the time of the recoupment. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Adviser waived fees of $279. At November 30, 2022, the Fund owed the Adviser $1,293. As of November 30, 2022, the Adviser may seek repayment of management fees waived pursuant to the aforementioned conditions, from the Fund no later than November 30, 2025.

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC ("Ultimus") provides administration and fund accounting services to the Funds. The Adviser pays Ultimus fees in accordance with the agreements for such services.

Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC ("NLCS"), an affiliate of Ultimus, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives fees from the Adviser, which are approved annually by the Board.

Under the terms of a Distribution Agreement with the Trust, Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the "Distributor") serves as principal underwriter to the Funds. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultimus. The Distributor is compensated by the Adviser (not the Funds) for acting as principal underwriter.

Certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are also employees of Ultimus and such persons are not paid by the Funds for serving in such capacities.

The Board supervises the business activities of the Trust. Each Trustee serves as a trustee until termination of the Trust unless the Trustee dies, resigns, retires, or is removed. The Chairman of the Board and more than 75% of the Trustees are "Independent Trustees," which means that they are not "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees review and establish compensation at least annually. which is an established amount paid quarterly per fund in the Trust at the time of the regular

Independent Trustees also receive $1,000 for attending any special meeting that requires an in-person approval of a contract and $250 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour for attending other special meetings. In addition, the Trust reimburses Independent Trustees for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conjunction with attendance at meetings.

For the period ended November 30, 2022, there were no net realized gains on in-kind redemptions.

**NOTE 7. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS**

Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by each Fund at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units." Only Authorized Participants or transactions done through an Authorized Participant are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from a Fund. 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. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per share of the Fund on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. In addition, the Fund may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Fund shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund in effecting trades. A fixed fee payable to the Custodian may be imposed on each creation and redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units involved in the transaction ("Fixed Fee"). Purchases and redemptions of

Creation Units for cash or involving cash-in-lieu are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate a Fund and its ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions ("Variable Charge," and together with the Fixed Fee, the "Transaction Fees"). Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the NightShares 500 ETF, NightShare 2000 ETF and NightShare 500 1x/1.5x ETF received $1,500, $500 and $750 in fixed fees, respectively. The Transaction Fees for each Fund are listed in the table below:

**NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from their performance of their duties to the Trust or the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

**Summary of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)**

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs: and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. You may pay brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of exchange-traded fund shares, which are not reflected in the example. Each of NightShares 500 ETF and NightShares 2000 ETF's example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 28, 2022 through November 30, 2022. The NightShares 500 1x/1.5x ETF example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 4, 2022 through November 30, 2022.

**Actual Expenses**

The first line of the table for each class provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, 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 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

**Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes**

The second line of the table for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund's actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances 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 other funds.

Expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

**Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (Unaudited)**

The NightShares 500 ETF (the "Large Cap Fund") and the NightShares 2000 ETF (the "Small Cap Fund") (each a "Fund" and together, the "Funds") are series of Unified Series Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") oversees the management of the Funds and, as required by law, considered the approval of each Fund's management agreement with its investment adviser, AlphaTrAI Funds, Inc. ("AlphaTrAI") as well as the approval of a sub-advisory agreement between AlphaTrAI and Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC ("ETC"), the sub-adviser to the Funds. The Board approved the management agreements and the sub-advisory agreement.

The Board requested and evaluated all information that the Trustees deemed reasonably necessary under the circumstances in connection with the approval of the management agreements.

The Trustees met at their quarterly meeting in February 2022 to review and discuss materials compiled by Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC, the Trust's administrator, with regard to the management agreements between the Trust and AlphaTrAI and the sub-advisory agreement between AlphaTrAI and ETC. At the Trustees' quarterly meeting held in February 2022, the Board interviewed certain executives of AlphaTrAI and ETC, including AlphaTrAI's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, ETC's Director of Capital Markets and one of ETC's Portfolio Managers. The Board also interviewed representatives of AlphaTrAI's compliance consulting firm. After discussion, the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Trust, AlphaTrAI, or ETC (the "Independent Trustees"), approved the management agreements between the Trust and AlphaTrAI for an initial period of two years, and approved the sub-advisory agreement between the AlphaTrAI and ETC for an initial period of two years. The Trustees' approval of the Funds' management agreements and the sub-advisory agreement was based on a consideration of all the information provided to the Trustees, and was not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees' deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated this information differently, ascribing different weights to various factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>The Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services</u>. The Trustees reviewed and considered information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of services that each of AlphaTrAI and ETC would provide to the Funds, which include, but are not limited to, providing a continuous investment program for the Funds, adhering to each Fund's investment restrictions, complying with the Trust's policies and procedures, and voting proxies on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees considered the qualifications and extensive experience of ETC's portfolio managers who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund's portfolio, as well as the qualifications and experience of the other individuals at AlphaTrAI and ETC who would provide services to the Funds. They discussed at length AlphaTrAI's night effect investment strategies and the use of derivatives to capture the night effect. The Trustees discussed and reviewed AlphaTrAI's compliance program and its compliance policies and procedures with respect to regulatory requirements for ETFs, and Ms. Gosselink and Mr. Wood provided assurances regarding their continuing review and oversight with respect to adoption of appropriate compliance policies. They noted ETC's depth of experience with ETFs. They further discussed AlphaTrAI's financial position and its commitment with respect to supporting the unitary fee commitments to the Fund. After a thorough discussion and consideration, the Trustees concluded that AlphaTrAI and ETC both have adequate resources to provide satisfactory investment management services to the proposed Funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Fund Performance</u>. The Trustees next reviewed and discussed comparisons of day, night and total returns of each Fund's proposed benchmark over a ten-year period. The Trustees once again considered AlphaTrAI's night effect investment strategy and the thorough research AlphaTrAI has conducted. It was the consensus of the Trustees that it was reasonable to conclude that AlphaTrAI and ETC have the ability to manage the proposed Funds successfully from a performance standpoint.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <u>Fee Rate and Profitability</u>. The Trustees reviewed fee and expense comparisons for the Morningstar Large Blend and Small Blend categories, which indicated that each of the Large Cap Fund and the Small Cap Fund's proposed management fee is lower than the average and the median for the respective category. The Trustees noted that the proposed management fees are unitary fees, and that the estimated net expense ratios are lower than the average and median for the Large Blend and Small Blend categories. The Trustees also considered profitability analyses prepared by AlphaTrAI for its management of the Funds, which indicated that, both before and after the deduction of marketing expenses, AlphaTrAI does not expect to earn a profit as a result of managing the Funds in the first and second years of operations. The Trustees noted that ETC, both before and after deduction of marketing expenses, does expect to earn a profit in the first two years of operations.

The Trustees considered other potential benefits that AlphaTrAI or ETC may receive in connection with its management of the Funds, including third-party research obtained by soft dollars, and noted that neither AlphaTrAI nor ETC have soft dollar arrangements in place. After considering the above information, the Trustees concluded that the proposed management fees and sub-advisory fee represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services that AlphaTrAI and ETC propose to provide to the Funds and the fees paid by exchange traded funds in the representative Morningstar categories.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Economies of Scale</u>. In determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees, the Trustees also considered the extent to which AlphaTrAI or ETC will realize economies of scale as each Fund grows larger. The Trustees determined that, in light of the anticipated size of each Fund in its first two years of operations, it does not appear that AlphaTrAI will realize benefits from economies of scale in managing the Funds in the near term to such an extent that breakpoints in the management fees need to be considered at this time. The Trustees also noted that the sub-advisory fee already includes breakpoints, but at a level exceeding the anticipated assets of the Funds in the first two years of operations.

The NightShares 500 1x/1.5x ETF (the "Fund") is a series of Unified Series Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") oversees the management of the Fund and, as required by law, considered the approval of the Fund's management agreement with its investment adviser, AlphaTrAI Funds, Inc. ("AlphaTrAI") as well as the approval of a sub-advisory agreement between AlphaTrAI and Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC ("ETC"), the sub-adviser to the Fund. The Board approved the management agreement and the sub-advisory agreement.

The Board requested and evaluated all information that the Trustees deemed reasonably necessary under the circumstances in connection with the approval of the management agreement.

The Trustees met at their quarterly meeting in May 2022 to review and discuss materials compiled by Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC, the Trust's administrator, with regard to the management agreement between the Trust and AlphaTrAI and the sub-advisory agreement between AlphaTrAI and ETC. At the Trustees' quarterly meeting held in May 2022, the Board interviewed certain executives of AlphaTrAI and ETC, including AlphaTrAI's Chief Executive Officer, its Head of Operations, its Chief Investment Officer, ETC's Director of Capital Markets and several of ETC's Portfolio Managers. The Board also interviewed representatives of AlphaTrAI's compliance consulting firm. After discussion, the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Trust, AlphaTrAI, or ETC (the "Independent Trustees"), approved the management agreement between the Trust and AlphaTrAI for an initial period of two years, and approved the sub-advisory agreement between the AlphaTrAI and ETC for an initial period of two years.

The Trustees considered the qualifications and extensive experience of ETC's portfolio managers who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio, as well as the qualifications and experience of the other individuals at AlphaTrAI and ETC who would provide services to the Fund. They discussed at length with representatives from AlphaTrAI its night effect investment strategies and the use of derivatives to capture the night effect and specific considerations with regards to the use of futures and/or swap contracts. They reviewed the prior experience of personnel at AlphaTrAI and ETC and noted the thorough review, unique and excellent services it anticipates each will provide to the Fund. The Trustees discussed and reviewed AlphaTrAI's and ETC's compliance programs and their compliance policies and procedures with respect to regulatory requirements for ETFs, and Ms. Gosselink and Mr. Wood provided assurances regarding their continuing review and oversight with respect to adoption of appropriate compliance policies. They noted ETC's depth of experience with ETFs. They further discussed AlphaTrAI's financial position and its commitment with respect to supporting the unitary fee commitments to the Fund.

the Trustees concluded that AlphaTrAI and ETC both have adequate resources to provide satisfactory investment management services to the proposed Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Fund Performance</u>. The Trustees next reviewed and discussed comparisons of back tested day, night and total returns of the Fund's proposed benchmark over a ten-year period. The Trustees once again considered AlphaTrAI's night effect investment strategy and the thorough research AlphaTrAI has conducted. It was the consensus of the Trustees that it was reasonable to conclude that AlphaTrAI and ETC have the ability to manage the proposed Fund successfully from a performance standpoint.

The Trustees reviewed fee and expense comparisons with respect to the Morningstar Trading-Leveraged Equity category and a peer group, which indicated that the Fund's proposed management fee is equal to the averages and the medians for the category and peer group. They further acknowledged that the strategy is unique, so there may not be a relevant peer group. The Trustees noted that the proposed management fee is a unitary fees, and that the estimated net expense ratios are is lower than the averages and medians of its Morningstar category and peer group and that strategy is unique in the marketplace so there may not be a relevant peer group. The Trustees also considered profitability analyses prepared by AlphaTrAI for its management of the Fund, which indicated that AlphaTrAI does not expect to earn a profit as a result of managing the Fund in the first and second years of operations. The Trustees noted that ETC, both before and after deduction of marketing expenses, does expect to earn a profit in the first two years of operations. They further considered the discussion with AlphaTrAI and ETC regarding the sub-advisory fee and how it is calculated.

The Trustees considered other potential benefits that AlphaTrAI or ETC may receive in connection with its management of the Fund, including third-party research obtained by soft dollars, and noted that neither AlphaTrAI nor ETC have soft dollar arrangements in place. After considering the above information, the Trustees concluded that the proposed management fee and sub-advisory fee represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services that AlphaTrAI and ETC propose to provide to the Fund and in comparison the fees paid by funds in the Morningstar category and peer group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Economies of Scale</u>. In determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fee, the Trustees also considered the extent to which AlphaTrAI or ETC will realize economies of scale as the Fund grows larger. The Trustees determined that, in light of the anticipated size of the Fund in its first two years of operations, it does not appear that AlphaTrAI will realize benefits from economies of scale in managing the Fund in the near term to such an extent that breakpoints in the management fee needs to be considered at this time. The Trustees also noted that the sub-advisory fee already includes breakpoints, but at a level exceeding the anticipated assets of the Fund in the first two years of operations.
