managment's discussion of fund performance

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund's performance?

Performance Highlights

The AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund enjoyed a modest positive return of 4.25% for Class A for the 12 months ending June 30, 2024. The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index which returned 24.56%. The Fund underperformed its benchmark (the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index), which returned 10.51%. The underperformance is largely due to the Fund avoidance of cyclical sector and technology sector exposure. The Fund focuses its investments in stocks of companies that are less sensitive to economic cycles and are in defensive sectors and industries.

Top contributors to performance:

· Overweight in healthcare, large box retailers, consumer staples and utilities.

Top detractors from performance:

No exposure to technology or energy companies

managment's discussion of fund performance

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund's performance?

Performance Highlights

The AmericaFirst Income Fund enjoyed a positive return and rose 8.69% for Class A for the 12 months ended June 30, 2024. The Fund underperformed the S&P Index which returned 24.56%. The Fund also underperformed its peer benchmark (the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds Index), which returned 11.48%. This relative underperformance is largely the result of the portfolio holding less technology weighting than our benchmark and concentration of outperforming stocks in a small grouping of large stocks dubbed the "Magnificent Seven" which accounted for about one-third of the market capitalization of the S&P 500.

Top contributors to performance:

· Specific technology holdings contributed to results despite being underweight the sector.
· Overweighting in utilities, financials, energy and real estate.

Top detractors from performance:

· Underweighting of technology sector.
· Underweighting of consumer staples and industrials.

managment's discussion of fund performance

How did the Fund perform last year? What affected the Fund's performance?

Performance Highlights

The AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund enjoyed a positive return and rose 20.07% for Class A for the 12 months ended June 30, 2024. The Fund underperformed the S&P Index which returned 24.56%. The underperformance relative to the S&P 500 was largely due to concentration of outperforming stocks in a small grouping of large stocks dubbed the "Magnificent Seven" which accounted for about one-third of the market capitalization of the S&P 500. The Fund modestly underperformed its peer benchmark (the Lipper Multi Cap Core Funds Index), which returned 21.58%. This modest underperformance is largely due to Nvidia (NVDA) freezing their buyback program in June, forcing us to sell the holding. Nvidia then reversed course and announced in August that it would resume their buyback program, but we opted not to re-enter the name at the time due to excessive valuation and volatility risk.

Top contributors to performance:

· A higher than average level of share buyback activity by companies.
· Overweighting in technology, financials, energy, industrials and utilities.

Top detractors from performance:

No exposure to consumer staples, materials and real estate sectors which historically have tended to have low levels of share buyback activity.

DSS AmericaFirst Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DSS AmericaFirst Funds (the "Trust"), previously DSS AmericaFirst Quantitative Funds, and previously Americafirst Quantitative Funds, was reorganized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 4, 2013. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Trust currently consists of four series: DSS AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund, DSS AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund, DSS AmericaFirst Monthly Risk-On Risk-Off Fund, and DSS AmericaFirst Income Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds are registered as diversified series of the Trust. The investment objectives of each Fund are set forth below. AmericaFirst Capital Management, LLC is the former investment advisor to the Funds. AmericaFirst Wealth Management, Inc. is the current investment advisor to the Funds ("Manager").

DSS AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund ("Defensive Growth Fund") commenced operations on May 23, 2011. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation through all market cycles.

DSS AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund ("Large Cap Share Buyback Fund") commenced operations on January 31, 2017. The Fund's investment objective is to provide growth of capital.

DSS AmericaFirst Monthly Risk-On Risk-Off Fund ("Risk-On Risk-Off Fund") commenced operations on February 26, 2010. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation with a focus on producing positive returns regardless of the direction of financial markets.

DSS AmericaFirst Income Fund ("Income Fund") commenced operations on July 1, 2010. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high rate of current income with less volatility than common stocks as measured by standard deviation. The Fund seeks total return as a secondary investment objective.

The Funds each offer three classes of shares, Class A, Class I, and Class U. Each class differs as to sales and redemption charges and ongoing fees.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies."

a) Securities Valuation - Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Board") based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies and exchange traded funds (the "underlying funds"). Open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The underlying funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the Boards of the underlying funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies and exchange traded funds, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company or exchange traded fund purchased by the Funds will not change.

In the absence of prices from a pricing service, or if market quotations are not readily available, fair value will be determined under the Funds' valuation procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 2a-5. These procedures address, among other things, determining when market quotations are not readily available or reliable and the methodologies to be used for determining the fair value of investments, as well as the use and oversight of third-party pricing services for fair valuation.

Equity securities. Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Board believes such prices accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Generally, if the security is traded in an active market and is valued at the last sale price, the security is categorized as a level 1 security, and if an equity security is valued by the pricing service at its last bid, it is generally categorized as a level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Board determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when restricted securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the valuation committee, subject to review of the Board of Trustees and are categorized in level 2 or level 3, when appropriate.

Exchange Traded Funds ("exchange traded fund" or "ETF") - The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds. ETFs are typically a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and typically represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Funds may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. There are risks of owning the underlying securities the ETFs are designed to track, and the lack of liquidity of an ETF may result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value. "

Each Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have 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 in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds' own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

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

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2024 for each Fund's assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

(1) As of and during the year ended June 30, 2024, none of the Funds held securities that were considered to be "Level 3" securities.
(2) For a detailed break-out of securities by investment industry please refer to the Schedules of Investments.

b) Short Sales - A "short sale" is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own, but has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. A Fund is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it on the open market at a later date. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time a Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a loss, unlimited in size. Conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a gain, limited to the price at which a fund sold the security short.

c) Federal Income Tax - The Funds intend to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies ("RIC"), except as noted below, and will distribute all of their taxable income, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions on returns filed for open tax years (2021-2023) or expected to be taken in the Funds' 2024 tax returns. The Funds identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal jurisdiction where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

d) Distribution to Shareholders - Distributions from investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, mark-to-market on open Section 1256 contracts) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

e) Other - Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold, or amortized cost with bonds, with the net sales proceeds. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized over their respective lives, with premiums on callable bonds are amortized to the earliest call date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

f) Multiple Class Allocations - Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on average net assets. Distribution fees are charged to each respective share class in accordance with the distribution plan. Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds in the Trust.

g) Foreign Currency - The accounting records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

h) Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

i) Commitments and Contingencies - In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

j) ETF, Mutual Fund and Exchange Traded Note ("ETN") Risk - ETFs, mutual funds and ETNs are subject to investment advisory or management and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by each Fund. Each is subject to specific risks, depending on investment strategy. Also, each may be subject to leverage risk, which will magnify losses. ETNs are subject to default risks.

k) Credit Risk - The deposits held in each Fund's portfolio include deposits in a checking account and money market deposit account. These deposits will be limited to accounts with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured banks or savings and loan associations which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Deposits that Congress affirmed to be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government are those that the resources of the U.S. Government stand behind. Further, each of the Fund's deposits will not exceed the FDIC's Standard Maximum Deposit Insurance Amount ("SMDIA") which currently is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank inclusive of the principal and accrued interest for each deposit. To the extent the Fund's deposits with a particular bank exceed the federally insured limit; any amount of the Fund's deposit over the federally insured limit will not be covered by FDIC insurance.

l) Fifth Third Bank (the "Custodian"), the Funds' custodian, allowed cash overdrafts during the fiscal year when insufficient cash was available in the Funds' custodial accounts to meet its obligations. Amounts presented as Due to Custodian on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities represent temporary cash overdrafts and monthly expense accruals that existed as of June 30, 2024.

m) Distributions from REITs - Distributions from REITs are initially recorded as dividend income and, to the extent such represent a return of capital or capital gain for tax purposes, are reclassified when such information becomes available.

The Funds incurred and elected to defer such late year ordinary losses as follows:

Late Year
Losses
Defensive Growth Fund $ 6,511
Large Cap Share Buyback Fund 9,581
Risk-On Risk-Off Fund 40,553

At June 30, 2024, the Funds below had capital loss carry forwards with no expiration date for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as follows:

NOTE 6. MARKET RISK

Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Funds. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Funds and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Funds' net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.

NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment in the financial statements.

However, the following disclosures are applicable:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of DSS AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund, DSS AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund, DSS AmericaFirst Monthly Risk-On Risk-Off Fund, and DSS AmericaFirst Income Fund and the Board of Trustees of DSS AmericaFirst Funds

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of DSS AmericaFirst Funds (formerly DSS AmericaFirst Quantitative Funds) comprising DSS AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund, DSS AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund, DSS AmericaFirst Monthly Risk-On Risk-Off Fund, and DSS AmericaFirst Income Fund (the "Funds") as of June 30, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets, the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of June 30, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Funds' financial highlights for the years ended June 30, 2022, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 29, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Funds' auditor since 2023.
