Notes to the Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
COtwo Advisors
Physical European Carbon Allowance Trust (the “Trust”) was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on January 12, 2023.
The Trust is governed
by the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) dated November 27, 2023 between
COtwo Advisors LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”). On April 29, 2025,
the Trust was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Trust began investment operations of investing in
EUAs on June 17, 2025, and was listed for secondary market trading on NYSE Arca on June 20, 2025. The offering of the Trust’s shares
is registered with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933. The Trust currently offers one class of shares. The Trust has
a fiscal year ending November 30.The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the price of EU
Carbon Emission Allowances for stationary installations (“EUAs”), less the expenses of the Trust’s operations. The Trust’s
assets will consist of EUAs, which are issued via the European Union Emission Trading System (“ETS”) and permit the holder
to emit one ton of carbon dioxide equivalent or other greenhouse gas. The Trust will occasionally hold cash for short periods to pay Trust
expenses.
COtwo Advisors
LLC is the sponsor of the Trust. The Sponsor: (1) will select the Trust’s trustee, administrator, transfer agent, cash custodian,
marketing agent and any other Trust service providers; (2) will negotiate various agreements and fees for the Trust; (3) will develop
a marketing plan for the Trust on an ongoing basis and prepare marketing materials regarding the Shares; (4) will maintain the Trust’s
web site; and (5) will perform such other services as the Sponsor believes that the Trust may require.
State Street Bank
and Trust Company (the "Administrator") has been selected by the Sponsor to serve as Administrator, Transfer Agent, and Custodian
to the Trust.
The Statement
of Financial Condition and Schedule of Investments at August 31, 2025 and the Statements of Operations, Cash Flows and Changes in Net
Assets for the reporting period ended August 31, 2025 have been prepared on behalf of the Trust without audit. In the opinion of management
of the Sponsor of the Trust, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods April 29, 2025 to August 31, 2025 and the three months ended August 31,
2025 have been made. The results of operations for the periods April 29, 2025 to August 31, 2025 and the three months ended August 31,
2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Sponsor has
determined that the Trust falls within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies, and has concluded that for reporting purposes, the Trust is
classified as an Investment Company. The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
is not required to register under such act. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires those responsible for preparing financial statements to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies followed by the Trust.
2.1.Emerging growth company
The Trust is an
“emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and
is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies
that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and reduced disclosure obligations that are not otherwise applicable to
the Trust. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of
the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption
of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, the Trust is choosing to “opt
out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates
on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that the decision
to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Notes to the Financial Statements

2.2. Valuation of EUAs
The Trust follows
the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides guidance for determining fair value and requires
increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date.
All EUAs will be
held in the Trust’s account at the European Union Registry (the “Union Registry”). The cost basis of EUAs received in
connection with a creation order is recorded by the Trust at the fair value of EUAs at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the creation date
for financial reporting purposes. The cost basis recorded by the Trust may differ from proceeds collected by the Authorized Participant
from the sale of the corresponding Shares to investors. The fair value of EUAs is determined using the daily settlement price for the
single day futures contract on EUAs (the “Daily EUA Future”) exclusively traded on the ICE Endex Markets B.V. (the “ICE
Endex”).
ICE Endex is regulated
in the Netherlands by the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets. The Daily EUA Future is a deliverable contract that settles each
day at the close of trading. Each person with a position open at cessation of trading is obliged to make or take physical delivery of
EUAs upon the expiration of the contract at the end of each trading day. The settlement price is fixed each business day and is published
by the exchange at approximately 12:15 E.T.
ASC 820 establishes
a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
Level 1
–
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust 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 and similar
data.
Level 3
–
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Trust’s
own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based
on the best information available.
The Sponsor had
determined the Trust’s investment in EUAs are Level 2 assets within the ASC 820 hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the Trust’s
investments at fair value:

2.3. Calculation of Net Asset Value
("NAV")
On each business
day, as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), the net asset value of the Trust is obtained by subtracting all accrued fees,
expenses and other liabilities of the Trust from the fair value of the EUAs and other assets held by the Trust. The Trustee computes the
net asset value per Share by dividing the net asset value of the Trust by the number of Shares outstanding on the date the computation
is made.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(continued) (unaudited)
2.4. Expenses
The Trust’s only ordinary recurring
fee is the fee paid to the Sponsor, which is equal to 0.79 % per annum of the daily net asset value of the Trust, paid monthly in arrears.
2.5. Creations and Redemptions of
Shares
The Trust issues
and redeems in one or more blocks of 50,000 Shares (a block of 50,000 Shares is called a “Basket”) only to Authorized Participants.
The creation and redemption of Baskets will only be made in exchange for the delivery to the Trust or the distribution by the Trust of
the amount of cash or EUAs represented by the Baskets being created or redeemed, the amount of which will be based on the amounts of cash
and EUAs represented by the number of Shares included in the Baskets being created or redeemed determined on the day the order to create
or redeem Baskets is properly received.
Orders to create
and redeem Baskets may be placed only by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant must: (1) be a registered broker-dealer and
a member in good standing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”); (2) be a participant in DTC; and (3)
have entered into an Authorized Participant Agreement with the Sponsor. The Authorized Participant Agreement provides the procedures for
the creation and redemption of Baskets and for the delivery of the cash or EUAs required for such creations and redemptions. A transaction
fee of $ 100 will be assessed on all creation and redemption orders. Multiple Baskets may be created on the same day.
Authorized Participants
who make deposits with the Trust in exchange for Baskets will receive no fees, commissions or other form of compensation or inducement
of any kind from either the Sponsor or the Trust, and no such person has any obligation or responsibility to the Sponsor or the Trust
to affect any sale or resale of Shares.

2.6. Organization Costs
The costs of the Trust’s organization
and the initial offering of the Shares were borne directly by the Sponsor. The Trust is not obligated to reimburse the Sponsor .
2.7. Income
Taxes
The Trust is classified
as a “grantor trust” for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself is not subject to United
States federal income tax. Instead, the Trust’s income and expenses “flow through” to the shareholders, and the Administrator
reports the Trust’s income, gains, losses, and deductions to the Internal Revenue Service on that basis. The Sponsor has analysed
applicable tax laws and regulations and their application to the Trust, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions
that require recognition of a tax liability as of August 31, 2025.
The Trust is required
to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authority, based
on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax
expense in the current year. As of August 31, 2025 the Trust has determined that no provision for income taxes is required and no liability
for unrecognized tax benefits has been recorded. The Trust does not expect that its assessment related to unrecognized tax benefits will
materially change over the next 12 months. However, the Trust’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date
based on factors including, but not limited to, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions; compliance with U.S. federal, U.S.
state, and tax laws of jurisdictions in which the Trust operates in; and changes in the administrative practices and precedents of the
relevant authorities. The Trust is required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination
by the relevant income taxing authority. As of August 31, 2025, all tax years since inception remain open for examination. There were
no examinations in progress at period end.
2.8. Investment
Transactions and Revenue Recognition
The Trust records
its investment transactions on a trade date basis and changes in fair value are reflected as net change in unrealized appreciation or
depreciation on investment in EUAs. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method. Realized gains
and losses are recognized in connection with transactions including settling obligations for the Sponsor's Fee in EUAs. Interest income
is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or discount, and is reflected as Interest
Income in the Statements of Operations.
2.9. Cash
The Trust expects
to periodically sell EUAs to maintain approximately 1 % of its assets in cash for use in connection with creation transactions or to pay
expenses.
2.10. Foreign Currency Translations
Investments and
other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the
close of business on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investments, and income and expenses, are translated at the rates of exchange
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions can represent gains
or losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains or losses arising from the disposition of foreign currency,
and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the
U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translations arise from
changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. These
amounts are summarized and disclosed in the unaudited Statement of Operations.

4. RELATED PARTIES — SPONSOR, TRUSTEE, CUSTODIAN AND MARKETING
FEES

services performed under the Trust Agreement. In exchange for the Sponsor fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume all routine operational,
administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Trust, including, but not limited to, the monthly fee, out-of-pocket expenses and expenses
reimbursable in connection with such service provider’s respective agreement payable to each of the Trust’s trustee, administrator,
cash custodian, transfer agent and marketing agent; the marketing support fees and expenses; exchange listing fees; SEC registration fees;
printing and mailing costs; maintenance expenses for the Trust’s website; audit fees and expenses; and routine legal expenses. The

5. RISKS
In accordance with Statement of Position No. 94-6,
Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties, the Trust’s sole business activity is the investment in EUAs. The price
of EUAs is affected by numerous factors beyond the Trust’s control, including the following: (a) global or regional political, economic,
environmental or financial events and situations (including pandemics, such as COVID-19); (b) investors’ expectations with respect
to the future rates of inflation and movements in world equity, financial, environmental, commodity and property markets; (c) the activities
and emissions of energy-intensive sectors (including manufacturing facilities, oil refineries, power stations and, aviation) may impact
the demand for EUAs; (d) the relevant rules of cap and trade programs outside the European Union (including how allowances are made available
to operators or market participants, such as free allocations or auctions) and links put in place between mandatory cap and trade programs
and voluntary schemes (enabling carbon allowances of one mandatory program or voluntary scheme to be used for the purposes of another
mandatory program or voluntary scheme) may impact the supply of EUAs; (e) the rate of progress in the innovation, introduction and expansion
of technologies and techniques in the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases (or the capture and storage thereof); (f) the use by
governments of different policies to encourage or require the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases; (g) lobbyist, political or governmental
goals or policies with respect to climate change and the imposition of environmental plans or climate goals; (h) the cost and implications
of non-compliance with the European Union Emissions Trading System (including both monetary and non-monetary penalties on operators subject

An investment in the Trust is not intended as
a complete investment plan. Because the Trust only holds EUAs or cash, an investment in the Trust may be more volatile than an investment
in a more broadly diversified portfolio. Accordingly, the NAV may be more volatile than another investment vehicle with a more broadly
diversified portfolio and may fluctuate substantially over time. An investment in the Trust may be deemed speculative; therefore, investors
should review closely the objective and strategy, the investment and operating restrictions and the redemption provisions of the Trust
and familiarize themselves with the risks associated with an investment in the Trust.
6. INDEMNIFICATION FOOTNOTE
The Trust’s members, managers, directors,
officers, employees, affiliates (as such term is defined under the Securities Act) and subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Trust Parties”)
shall be indemnified from the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without (1) gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct on the part of such indemnified party arising out of or in connection with the performance of its obligations
under the Trust Agreement and under each other agreement entered into by the Trust Parties in furtherance of the administration of the
Trust (including, without limiting the scope of the foregoing, the administration agreement, the transfer agency agreement, the cash custody
agreement, the marketing agent agreement and any Authorized Participant Agreement) or any actions taken in accordance with the provisions
of the Trust Agreement or such other agreement or (2) reckless disregard on the part of such indemnified party of its obligations and
duties under the Trust Agreement or such other agreement. Such indemnity shall include payment from the Trust of the reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by such indemnified party in investigating or defending itself against any claim or liability in their capacity
as Trust Parties. Any amounts payable to an indemnified party may be payable in advance or shall be secured by a lien on the Trust’s
assets. The Trust Parties may, in their discretion, undertake any action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of the Trust

Trust Overview
COtwo Advisors Physical European Carbon Allowance Trust (the “Trust”)
was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on January 12, 2023. The Trust is governed by the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and
Trust Agreement (“Trust Agreement”) dated November 27, 2023 between COtwo Advisors LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Wilmington
Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”), and a “Sponsor Agreement,” dated December 21, 2023, between the Trust
and the Sponsor. The Trust issues common units of beneficial interest, or “Shares,” which represent units of fractional undivided
beneficial interest in the Trust’s net assets. The Shares of the Trust are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”
or the “Exchange”).
The Sponsor, COtwo Advisors LLC, is a Delaware limited liability company.
The Sponsor’s mailing address is 140 Elm Street, Suite 6, New Canaan, CT 06840. The Trust pays the Sponsor a Sponsor Fee. The Trust
is managed and controlled by the Sponsor pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Sponsor Agreement. The Sponsor arranged
for the creation of the Trust, the registration of the Shares for their public offering in the United States and the listing of the Shares
on the Exchange. The Sponsor also paid the costs of the Trust’s organization and the initial sale of the Shares, including applicable
SEC registration fees. In exchange for the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume to pay all of the routine operational, administrative
and other ordinary expenses of the Trust, including, but not limited to, the following administrative and marketing expenses incurred
by the Trust: each of the Trustee’s, Trust administrator’s, Trust cash custodian’s, Trust transfer agent’s and
marketing agent’s monthly fee and out-of-pocket expenses and expenses reimbursable in connection with such service provider’s
respective agreement; the marketing support fees and expenses; exchange listing fees; SEC registration fees; printing and mailing costs;
maintenance expenses for the Trust’s website; audit fees and expenses; and routine legal expenses.
The sole Trustee of the Trust is Wilmington
Trust, National Association, a national banking association. The Trustee’s principal offices are located at 1100 North Market Street,
Wilmington, Delaware 19890. The Trustee is unaffiliated with the Sponsor. The Trustee is the trustee of the Trust for the sole and limited
purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (“DSTA”). The Trustee will accept service of legal
process on the Trust in the State of Delaware and will make certain filings under the DSTA. Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee has
delegated to the Sponsor the exclusive management and control of all aspects of the activities of the Trust.

Trust
Overview (continued)
On April 29, 2025, the initial Form
S-1 for the Trust was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). On June 17, 2025, two Baskets
(as defined below) for the Trust were issued representing 100,000 shares. The Trust began trading on NYSE Arca on June 20, 2025.
Shares are issued by the Trust only
in blocks of 50,000 Shares called “Baskets” in exchange for European Union Carbon Emission Allowances (“EUAs”)
or cash from certain registered broker-dealers (“Authorized Participants”). Baskets will be redeemed by the Trust in exchange
for the amount of EUAs or cash corresponding to their redemption value. The Trust issues and redeems Baskets on an ongoing basis at net
asset value (“NAV”) per Share to Authorized Participants who have entered into a contract with the Sponsor and the Trust’s
transfer agent.
Trust Objective
The investment objective of the Trust
is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the price of EU Carbon Emission Allowances for stationary installations (“EUAs”),
less the expenses of the Trust’s operations. The Trust intends to achieve this objective by investing substantially all of its assets
in EUAs, which are issued via the European Union Emission Trading System (“ETS”) and permit the holder to emit one ton of
carbon dioxide equivalent or other greenhouse gas. The Trust’s assets will consist of EUAs and cash. The Trust may hold cash in
connection with cash purchases and redemptions of Shares and it also will occasionally hold cash for short periods to pay the Sponsor’s
management fee and any other Trust expenses and liabilities not assumed by the Sponsor. The Trust will not hold any assets other than
EUAs and cash or cash equivalents.
Other than sales of EUAs to pay certain
expenses, discussed below, the Trust may only purchase or sell EUAs in connection with the purchase (creation) or redemption of Baskets
by Authorized Participants. For a creation in cash, the Authorized Participant will deliver the cash to the Trust’s account at the
Cash Custodian, which the Sponsor will then use to purchase EUAs from a third party selected by the Sponsor who (1) is not the Authorized
Participant and (2) will not be acting as an agent, nor at the direction, of the Authorized Participant with respect to the delivery of
EUAs to the Trust (such third party, a “Liquidity Provider”). For a redemption in cash, the Sponsor shall arrange for the
EUAs represented by the Basket to be sold to a Liquidity Provider selected by the Sponsor and the cash proceeds distributed from the Trust’s
account at the Cash Custodian to the Authorized Participant in exchange for its Shares. In the case of “in-kind” creation
or redemption orders for Shares, Authorized Participants may deliver or direct the delivery of EUAs by third parties, or take delivery
or direct the taking of delivery of EUAs by third parties.
In addition to selling EUAs to distribute
cash to Authorized Participants redeeming Shares, the Trust may sell EUAs to pay certain expenses not assumed by the Sponsor (described
above), including the Sponsor’s Sponsor fee, which may be facilitated by one or more Liquidity Providers.
European Union Carbon Emission Allowances
(“EUAs”)
The European Union Emissions Trading
System (“EU ETS”) is a “cap and trade” system that caps the total volume of greenhouse gas (“GHG”)
emissions from installations and aircraft operators responsible for around 40% of European Union (“EU”) GHG emissions. The
EU ETS is administered by the EU Commission, which issues a predefined amount of EUAs through auctions or free allocation. EUAs entitle
the holder to emit one ton of carbon dioxide equivalent or other GHG. Entities covered by the EU ETS are required to surrender each year
sufficient EUAs to cover all their emissions for the previous year.
In 2012, EU ETS operations were centralized
into a single EU registry operated by the EU Commission (the “Union Registry”), which covers all countries participating in
the EU ETS. The Union Registry is an online database that holds accounts for all entities covered by the EU ETS as well as for participants
(such as the Trust) not covered under the EU ETS. An account must be opened in the Union Registry in order to transact in EUAs and the
Union Registry is at all times responsible for holding the EUAs. The EU ETS is the largest cap and trade system in the world and covers
more than 11,000 power stations and industrial plants in 31 countries, and flights between airports of participating countries.
There is no assurance that cap and trade
regimes will continue to exist. Cap and trade may not prove to be an effective method of reduction in GHG emissions. As a result or due
to other factors, cap and trade regimes may be terminated or may not be renewed upon their expiration. The EU ETS is organized into a
number of phases, each which a predetermined duration. Currently, the EU ETS is in Phase IV. There can be no assurance that the EU ETS
will enter into a new phase as scheduled.
15
New technologies may arise that may
diminish or eliminate the need for cap and trade markets. Ultimately, the cost of carbon allowances is determined by the cost of actually
reducing emissions levels. If the price of credits becomes too high, it will be more economical for companies to develop or invest in
green technologies, thereby suppressing the demand for credits and adversely affecting the price of the Trust.
Cap and trade regimes set emission limits
(i.e., the right to emit a certain quantity of GHG emissions), which can be allocated or auctioned to the parties in the mechanism up
to the total emissions cap. This allocation may be larger or smaller than is needed for a stable price of credits and can lead to large
price volatility, which could affect the value of the Trust. Depending upon the industries of end users of EUAs, unpredictable demand
for their products and services can affect the value of GHG emissions credits. For example, very mild winters or very cool summers can
decrease demand for electric utilities and therefore require fewer carbon credits to offset reduced production and GHG emissions.
The ability of the GHG emitting companies
to pass on the cost of emissions credits to consumers can affect the price of the EUAs. If the price of emissions can be passed on to
the end customer with little impact upon consumer demand, it is likely that industries may continue emitting and purchase any shortfall
in the market at the prevailing price. If, however, the producer is unable to pass on the cost, it may be incentivized to reduce production
in order to decrease its need for offsetting emissions credits, which could adversely affect the price of EUAs and the Trust.
Regulatory risk related to changes in
regulation and enforcement of cap and trade regimes could also adversely affect market behavior. If fines or other penalties for non-compliance
are not enforced, incentives to purchase GHG credits will deteriorate, which could result in a decline in the price of emissions credits
and a drop in the value of the Trust. In addition, as cap and trade markets develop, new regulation with respect to these markets may
arise, which could have a negative effect on the value and liquidity of the cap and trade markets and the Trust.
Results of Operations
For both the period June 17, 2025 (Date of commencement
of operations) to August 31, 2025 and the period April 29, 2025 (Effective date of the registration statement) to August 31, 2025, 150,000
Shares were issued in exchange for 30,000 EUAs and 0 Shares were redeemed in exchange for 0 EUAs. The Fund’s NAV per Share began
the period at $16.95 and ended the period at $16.93.
The change in net assets from operations for the
period June 17, 2025 to August 31, 2025 and the period April 29, 2025 to August 31, 2025 was $(0.02) per share, which was due to (i) payment
of the Sponsor’s Fee of $3,875, (ii) net realized loss from EUAs sold to pay expenses of $619, (iii) net realized gain from foreign
currency transactions of $6,657, and (iv) a net change in unrealized depreciation on investment in EUAs of $2,359. Other than the Sponsor
Fee the Fund had no expenses during the period June 17, 2025 to August 31, 2025 and the period April 29, 2025 to August 31, 2025.
16
Below is a comparison of per Share net asset value
(“NAV”) to the Shares’ market value for the period from June 20, 2025 (first day of trading), to August 31, 2025.
Fund NAV vs. Fund Closing
Price - June 20, 2025 - August 29, 2025
During the period of June 20, 2025 through August
31, 2025 the market for European Union Allowances (EUA) traded in a range of €67.95 (June 30, 2025) to €73.39 (June 24, 2025)
with the closing price on August 29, 2025 of €72.46 and an average value of €70.73. There were a variety of influences on the
price in the EUA market. Some of those factors were (i) mild temperatures during the summer months across Europe resulting in lower power
demand for cooling (ii) uncertainty in overall levels of economic productivity resulting from potential tariffs levied by the United States
on the European Union (iii) Currency fluctuations resulting from both interest rate uncertainty and ongoing tariff negotiations (iv) ongoing
conflict between Ukraine and Russia and how that will impact both ongoing economic activity and supply of natural gas in the future. Going
forward we expect the primary drivers of EUA price levels will continue to be (i) overall weather and how it will impact demand for power
for heating/cooling demands (ii) overall levels of economic activity and how robust the EU economy is (iii) ongoing conflict between Ukraine
and Russia and how that will impact flows and price of natural gas (iv) possible linkage of the United Kingdom Allowance market and the
European Union Allowance market (v) introduction of shipping industry to the EU ETS. For the most part, the fund NAV and market price
tracked closely. The periods in which there was a discrepancy are related to the small public float and limited trading in CTWOs equity.
Over time as more shares are issued, we expect the frequency and magnitude of the trading premium/discount to NAV to decline.
17
In the period June 17, 2025 to August 31, 2025,
150,000 Shares (3 Baskets) were created in exchange for 30,000 EUAs, no Shares were redeemed, and 300 EUAs were sold to maintain a cash
position in line with fund policy. For accounting purposes, CTWO reflects creations and redemptions on the date of receipt of a notification
of a creation but does not issue Shares until the requisite amount of EUAs are received. Upon a redemption, CTWO delivers EUAs upon receipt
of Shares. These creations were completed in the normal course of business.
At August 31, 2025, the number of EUAs owned by
the Trust and held by the Custodians was 29,700, with a market value of $2,516,249 based on the Daily EUA Futures price determined by
the ICE Endex on August 31, 2025 (cost— $2,518,608).
Calculating NAV
The Trust’s Net Asset Value (NAV) is calculated
by:
● Determining the current market value of the Trust’s total
assets;
● Subtracting any liabilities (which include estimated accrued
but unpaid fees and expenses); and
● Dividing that total by the number of outstanding shares.
The Administrator calculates the NAV of the Trust
once each NYSE Arca trading day. The NAV for a particular day is released after the markets close, which is typically 4PM ET. The Administrator
uses the settlement price for the Daily EUA Futures as established by the ICE Endex. The ICE Endex determines and releases this value
daily shortly after the close of the Calculation Period, generally by at 5:15pm C.E.T. The Administrator also converts the value of Euro
denominated assets into USD equivalent using published foreign currency exchange prices by an independent pricing vendor. Third parties
supplying quotations or market data may include, without limitations, dealers in the relevant markets, end-users of the relevant product,
information vendors, brokers and other sources of market information.
If the Sponsor determines in good faith that the
settlement price of the Daily EUA Future does not reflect an accurate EUA price, then the Sponsor will instruct the Administrator to employ
an alternative method to determine the fair value of the Trust’s assets. In determining an alternative fair value method, the Sponsor
may consider such criteria as observable market-based inputs, including market quotations and/or trading platforms on which EUAs or Daily
EUA Futures are traded. Moreover, the terms of the Trust Agreement do not prohibit the Sponsor from changing the valuation method used
to calculate the net asset value of the Trust. Any such change in the valuation method could affect the value of the Trust’s shares
and investors could suffer a substantial loss on their investment in the Trust. In the event of a material change, the Sponsor will notify
shareholders in a prospectus supplement and/or a current report on Form 8-K or in its annual or quarterly reports, as applicable.
In addition, in order to provide updated information
relating to the Trust for use by investors and market professionals, an updated indicative fund value (“IFV”) is made available
through on-line information services throughout the core trading session hours of 9:30 am E.T. to 4:00p.m. E.T. on each trading day. The
IFV is calculated by using the prior day’s closing NAV per share of the Trust as a base and updating that value throughout the trading
day to reflect changes in the most recently reported mid-point of the bid/ask spread of the Daily EUA Future traded on the ICE Endex.
The IFV disseminated during the NYSE Arca core trading session hours should not be viewed as an actual real time update of the NAV, because
the NAV is calculated using a different manner and it is calculated only once at the end of each trading day based upon the relevant end
of day values of the Trust’s investments.
It should also be noted that although the IFV
is disseminated throughout the core trading session, the customary trading hours for EUAs, the Trust’s primary asset, are 2am to
12 pm ET. This means that there is a gap in time at the end of each day during which the Trust’s shares are traded on the NYSE Arca,
but real-time trading prices for EUAs are not available. During such gaps in time the IFV will be calculated based on the last reported
mid-point of the bid-ask spread of the Daily EUA Future in the immediately preceding trading session until the day’s settlement
price is reported, in which case the day’s settlement price will be used.
The NYSE Arca disseminates the IFV through the
facilities of CTA/CQ High Speed Lines. In addition, the IFV is published on the NYSE Arca’s website and is available through on-line
information services such as Bloomberg. The Trust, the Sponsor and its affiliates are not involved in, or responsible for, the calculation
or dissemination of the IFV and make no warranty as to its accuracy.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of the financial statements and related
disclosures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the application of appropriate accounting rules
and guidance, as well as the use of estimates. The Trust’s application of these policies involves judgments and the use of estimates.
Actual results may differ from the estimates used and such differences could be material. Please refer to Note 2 to the Financial Statements
included in this report for further discussion of the Trust’s accounting policies.
There were no material estimates, which involve
a significant level of estimation uncertainty and had or are reasonably likely to have had a material impact on a Fund’s financial
condition, used in the preparation of these financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands,
conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to its liquidity needs. In exchange for a fee, the Sponsor
has agreed to assume most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the period
covered by this report was the Sponsor’s fee. The Trust intends to satisfy this obligation through the transfer of cash (generated,
if necessary, through the sale of EUAs) in the necessary amount. At August 31, 2025, the Trust held $24,327 in cash & cash equivalents.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Trust does not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements.
Sponsor and CTA Fees
The Trust is obligated to pay the Sponsor a management
fee (the “Sponsor Fee”), calculated daily and paid monthly, equal to 0.79% of the Trust’s average daily net assets.
From the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor has contractually agreed to pay all of the routine operational, administrative, and other ordinary expenses
of the Trust, excluding brokerage fees, interest expenses, and certain non-recurring or extraordinary fees and expenses. The Sponsor Fee
is paid in consideration of the Sponsor’s management services to the Trust.
The parties cannot anticipate the amount of payments
that will be required under these arrangements for future periods as the NAV and trading levels to meet investment objectives for the
Trust will not be known until a future date.
Item 3. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable to Smaller Reporting Companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Trust maintain disclosure controls and procedures
that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the Trust’s periodic reports filed or submitted
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms.
The duly appointed officers of the Sponsor, including
its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust’s disclosure controls
and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust have been effective as of the end of the period
covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.
