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”). The Trust had not commenced operations as of May 31, 2025. The Trust had not commenced investment activities or issued shares. 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.

The Sponsor 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.

Undefined capitalized terms shall have the meaning as set forth in the registration statement.

The Statement of Financial Condition and Schedule of Investment at May 31, 2025 and the Statements of Operations, Cash Flows and Changes in Net Assets for the reporting period ended May 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 three and six months ended May 31, 2025 and for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended May 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 statement 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.

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:

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:

There were no transfers between Level 1 and other Levels for the period ended May 31, 2025.

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.

2.4. Expenses

The Trust’s only ordinary recurring fee is expected to be the fee paid to the Sponsor, which will accrue daily at an annualized rate equal to 0.79% of the average 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 May 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 May 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 May 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.

**3.**PROP OSED OFFE RING

The Trust is offering an indeterminate amount of securities of the Trust. The Trust will calculate and pay registration fees, if any, in accordance with Rule 456(d) of the Securities Act. In accordance with Rules 456(d) and 457(u) under the Securities Act, the Trust is deferring payment of these registration fees and will pay these registration fees on an annual net basis no later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year.

Shares of the Trust are expected to be listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) after they are initially purchased by Authorized Participants. The initial Authorized Participant will make a minimum initial purchase of at least one Basket of 50,000 Shares at a per Share price equal to the value of 10,000 EUAs on the initial offering date. The Trust will not commence trading unless and until its initial Authorized Participant effects the initial purchase. Following the initial purchase by the initial Authorized Participant, shares of the Trust will be offered to Authorized Participants in Baskets at the Trust’s NAV. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their NAV.

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

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.

As of May 31, 2025, there wereno amounts payable to related parties.

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 to the European Union Emissions Trading System for failure to surrender sufficient EUAs); (i) investment and trading activities of hedge funds, commodity funds and other speculators; (j) interest rates and currency exchange rates, particularly the strength of and confidence in the Euro; and (k) the ability of the greenhouse gas emitting companies to pass on the cost of emissions credits to consumers.

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

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.
