Letter from the Co-CEO:

So far, 2016 has been a road to recovery for North American investors, as equity markets continue to bounce back from the
lows of late January. In fact, the Canadian equity market, up more than 8% year-to-date has been one of the best-performing
developed equity markets in the world. Additionally, we have seen the price of crude oil stabilize which we believe has been a
leading contributor to the recovery and strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, up approximately 7%
since the beginning of 2016.

Overall, the first half of the year has been very successful for the North American ETF industry, with U.S. assets at US$2.2
trillion and Canadian ETF assets surpassing the CAD$100 billion mark in May. Equities and fixed income ETFs continue to
make up the largest inflows for both Canada and the U.S.

For Horizons ETFs, in particular, this has been a year of new milestones. In April, we surpassed more than $6 billion in assets
under management and have continued to watch our active and benchmark lineup of ETFs grow. In fact, the Horizons Cdn
High Dividend Index ETF (“HXH”) has been one of the largest launches on the Canadian side of the border, acquiring more
than $100 million in assets within its first week of launch.

With the regulatory landscape in North America, particularly Canada, shifting towards fee-based transparency, and fewer tax
efficient products available to the retail investor, we’ve focused on expanding our line-up of Total Return Index (TRI) ETFs.
This includes the launch of HXH and the Horizons Nasdaq-100® Index ETF (“HXQ”), and lowering the cost of our flagship TRI
ETFs like the Horizons S&P 500® Index ETF (“HXS”), reducing its management fee to 0.10% from 0.15%. We also launched the
Horizons China High Dividend Yield Index ETF (“HCN”), the first benchmark ETF to provide Canadian investors with exposure
to the Hang Seng High Dividend Yield Index.

Looking to the remainder of 2016, it will be an interesting time for global markets. Many investors are watching every Federal
Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting closely, wondering whether or not the U.S. is in fact in a strong enough position
economically to take on another rate hike. As well, the outcome of the June 23 referendum in the United Kingdom to leave
the European Union could have far reaching implications in the markets, both locally and abroad, for the months and years
to come.

At Horizons ETFs we try and remain agnostic on the direction of the markets, however, we do think it’s fair to say that investors
can no longer rely on easy returns. Investors require more creative solutions that take advantage of volatility, such as covered
call and alternative asset strategies.

Knowing investors shouldn’t rely on a single strategy for success, we believe that our diverse suite of ETF solutions provides
investors with the tools they need for handling any of the market conditions that 2016 holds on the horizon. We remain proud
to be a partner in your investment process.

For more information on our strategies, please visit our website at www.horizonsetfs.com where we offer a range of resources
designed to help you become a skilled ETF investor.

Wishing you the best for the remainder of 2016,

     management report of fund performance, current proxy voting policies and procedures, proxy voting disclosure record,
     or quarterly portfolio disclosures, at no cost, from the ETF’s manager, AlphaPro Management Inc. (“AlphaPro” or the “Man-
     ager”), by calling toll free 1-866-641-5739, or locally (416) 933-5745, by writing to us at: 26 Wellington Street East, Suite

     This document may contain forward-looking statements relating to anticipated future events, results, circumstances, per-
     formance, or expectations that are not historical facts but instead represent our beliefs regarding future events. By their
     nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties.
     There is significant risk that predictions and other forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. We caution
     readers of this document not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements as a number of factors could
     cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or
     intentions expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

     Actual results may differ materially from management expectations as projected in such forward-looking statements for
     a variety of reasons, including but not limited to market and general economic conditions, interest rates, regulatory and
     statutory developments, and the effects of competition in the geographic and business areas in which the ETF may invest
     and the risks detailed from time to time in the ETF’s prospectus. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not
     possible for management to predict all such risk factors. We caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive,
     and that when relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to investing in the ETF, investors
     and others should carefully consider these factors, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent
     uncertainty of forward-looking statements. Due to the potential impact of these factors, the Manager does not under-
     take, and specifically disclaims, any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether
     as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by applicable law.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance
  Investment Objective and Strategies

     The investment objective of Horizons HMP is to seek to provide unitholders with a high level of income by investing pri-
     marily in a portfolio of Canadian municipal bonds denominated in Canadian dollars.

     To achieve Horizons HMP’s investment objective, the ETF’s portfolio sub-advisor, Fiera Capital Corporation (“Fiera” or the
     “Sub-Advisor”), uses in-depth credit analysis and other fundamental research to select fixed income securities for Hori-
     zons HMP’s investment portfolio. Horizons HMP primarily invests in a portfolio of Canadian municipal bonds denominat-
     ed in Canadian dollars and the ETF will be substantially invested under normal conditions.

     Municipal bonds, sometimes referred to as “munis,” are debt securities generally issued by cities, municipalities or mu-
     nicipal finance authorities to finance local capital expenditures such as the construction of bridges, highways, airports or
     schools. Issuers of municipal bonds may or may not be rated by a bond rating agency. The proportion of municipal bonds
     issued by unrated issuers in the ETF’s portfolio will not exceed 75% of the net assets of Horizons HMP.

     The Sub-Advisor seeks diversification by issuer, and some diversification by geographic region, but the portfolio will gen-
     erally be weighted more heavily towards Québec municipal bonds due to the predominance of Québec based issuers in
     the Canadian municipal bond market. A substantial number of municipal issuers, particularly in Québec, are not rated by
     any bond rating agency.

                                                                                                                               1
Horizons Active Cdn Municipal Bond ETF

Management Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)

        In order to manage the liquidity of the portfolio, Horizons HMP will generally invest between 10% and 20% of its net
        assets in cash and cash equivalents, Canadian provincial government bonds and/or bonds issued by Canadian federal
        government agencies.

        Please refer to the ETF’s most recent prospectus for a complete description of Horizons HMP’s investment restrictions.

     Results of Operations

        For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Class E units and Advisor Class units of the ETF returned 1.03% and
        0.76%, respectively, when including distributions paid to unitholders.

        General Review

        The S&P Canada Provincial & Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”) returned 4.59% for the six-month period ended June 30,
        2016. The Index is a broad, comprehensive, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of Cana-
 2      dian dollar-denominated investment grade government-related bonds in provincial and municipal markets.
Horizons Active Cdn Municipal Bond ETF

Management Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)

     The Canadian bond market opened the year strongly with the 10-year Government of Canada bond yield briefly touching
     an all-time low yield of 0.91% in mid-February, before moving back to finish the first quarter at 1.23%. The strong open-
     ing was driven by continued softness in commodity prices and a weaker global outlook, led by slower growth in China
     and deflationary risks in Europe. Markets only began to recover as policy makers stepped up with renewed stimulative
     measures. The European Central Bank (ECB) pushed its policy rates further into negative territory and expanded its quan-
     titative easing program to include purchases of corporate debt. The Bank of China cut bank reserve requirements to spur
     lending. Oil prices also found a floor after Saudi Arabia and Russia announced they would cap production levels.

     The second quarter was also strong for the Canadian bond market as both government and corporate bonds performed
     well. Much of the strength came late in the quarter when the ‘Leave’ side won a surprising victory in the U.K. referendum
     on continued European Union membership (“Brexit”). Global bond markets rallied on the result, led by the U.K. and other
     European sovereign bonds. Following the vote the German 10-year Bund yield fell into negative territory for the first time,
     joining Switzerland and Japan with this extraordinary distinction.

     Prior to the Brexit vote, North American bond markets had been somewhat range bound as investors weighed the
     odds of a possible rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) against mixed economic signals. In particular, U.S. job
     growth appeared to slow in April and May while other indicators pointed to a moderate bounce in second quarter GDP
     growth. In Canada, the recovery in oil prices towards $50/barrel provided some stability. The Brexit result immediately
     ended this debate and took the odds of near term rate action by the Fed off the table. By the end of the second quarter,
     the yield on the Canada five year bond was just 0.57%, down 11 basis points from the end of March and 16 basis points
     for the year to date.

     Sector performance was strong since the beginning of the year. Investors looking for safer but higher yields favored pro-
     vincial and municipal bonds which tightened sectors spreads. Provincial bonds were the best performers and municipal
     and corporate bonds also outperformed federal bonds. Even with the Brexit vote in June, the average spread on corpo-
     rate bonds narrowed by 10 basis points versus similarly dated Government of Canada bonds. Energy related issuers were
     among the best performers since the beginning of the year as firming oil prices provided support to these issuers. Other
     sectors also did well as investor demand picked up in the face of moderating yields.

     Portfolio Review

     The ETF is still overweight rated and non-rated municipal bonds in the province of Quebec with a large allocation to
     this segment. Fiera continues to see much value in this segment taking into account the fundamentals and large li-
     quidity premiums. This is due to the large carry over other municipalities in Canada and over the Quebec Government
     yield curve.

     The ETF participated in multiple new issues where we were able to buy at attractive levels and select good municipalities
     according to Fiera’s credit process. As the second quarter went by, municipal spreads tightened, but widened again fol-
     lowing the Brexit event, to finally remain unchanged on the quarter. The ETF seized this opportunity to buy at attractive
     levels. Fiera expects the municipal bond sector to outperform the provincial bond sector over the next year as it offers an
     attractive carry.

     Outlook

     So far this year, the only constant has been change. Early in the year markets were mesmerized by oil as it plunged toward
     multi-decade lows, only to reverse as drilling activity ceased and prices recovered. This was followed by an apparent
     set back in the Fed’s march to higher rates as U.S. job growth mysteriously slowed. Now Brexit adds to these uncertain-
     ties. The ramifications of the U.K.’s exit from the European Union will have the biggest direct impact on the U.K. and its
     European partners; however it compounds the already sluggish outlook for global expansion and will dampen policy
     makers’ appetite for pulling back on already generous stimulus measures. Adding to this uncertainty is the upcoming U.S.
     Presidential campaign and the Fed’s typical hesitancy to impact U.S. monetary policy leading up to elections.
                                                                                                                                3
Horizons Active Cdn Municipal Bond ETF

Management Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)

     Under these circumstances Fiera finds it difficult to make a definitive statement on the direction of bond yields in the
     months ahead. It is likely the irresistible pull of negative yields in many developed economies and longer term defla-
     tionary trends will continue to keep yields at levels that our text books tell us are not possible. Given this, we expect to
     manage duration strategy close to benchmark until we have greater clarity on these events and prefer to direct our risk
     towards harvesting attractive credit and liquidity premiums.

     In this low yield environment, yield enhancing strategies should continue to do well. The municipal bond market should
     benefit from this environment as it offers an attractive carry and interesting risk-reward compared to the corporate bond
     sector. Finally, we are still managing the strategy with a diversified laddered approach, which translates into a higher
     yielding strategy along with a well-diversified portfolio.

     Other Operating Items and Changes in Net Assets Attributable to Holders of Redeemable Units

     For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the ETF generated gross comprehensive income (loss) from investments
     and derivatives of $1,051,552. The period ended June 30, 2016 is the first full interim reporting period for the ETF, there-
     fore there are no 2015 numbers with which to compare the 2016 operating items. The ETF paid management, operating
     and transaction expenses of $206,456 of which $41,182 was either paid or absorbed by the Manager on behalf of the
     ETF. The waiving and/or absorption of such fees and/or expenses by the Manager may be terminated at any time, or
     continued indefinitely, at the discretion of the Manager.

     The ETF distributed $914,730 to Class E unitholders and $4,440 to Advisor Class unitholders during the period.

     Unitholder Activity

     An “ETF” is a stock exchange listed, open-ended, continuously offered fund. All orders to purchase units directly from the
     ETF must be placed by designated brokers and/or underwriters. On any trading day, a designated broker or an under-
     writer may place a subscription order for a prescribed number of units (“PNU”) or integral multiple PNU. The ETF reserves
     the absolute right to reject any subscription order placed by a designated broker and/or an underwriter. No fees will be
     payable by the ETF to a designated broker or an underwriter in connection with the issuance of units. On the issuance of
     units, the Manager may, at its discretion, charge an administrative fee to an underwriter or designated broker to offset
     any expenses incurred in issuing the units.

     All unitholders of the ETF may exchange the applicable PNU (or an integral multiple thereof ) of the ETF on any trading
     day for a prescribed basket of securities (as determined by the investment manager) and/or cash, subject to the require-
     ment that a minimum PNU be exchanged. The Manager may, in its complete discretion, pay exchange proceeds consist-
     ing of cash only in an amount equal to the net asset value of the applicable PNU of the ETF next determined following the
     receipt of the exchange request. The Manager will, upon receipt of the exchange request, advise the unitholder submit-
     ting the request as to whether cash and/or a basket of securities will be delivered to satisfy the request.

     Investors are able to trade units of the ETF in the same way as other securities traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange
     (“TSX”), including by using market orders and limit orders. An investor may buy or sell units of the ETF on the TSX only
     through a registered broker or dealer in the province or territory where the investor resides. Investors may incur custom-
     ary brokerage commissions when buying or selling units.

     Presentation

     The attached financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
     (“IFRS”). Any mention of total net assets, net assets, net asset value or increase (decrease) in net assets in the financial
     statements and/or management report of fund performance is referring to net assets or increase (decrease) in net assets
     attributable to holders of redeemable units as reported under IFRS.

  Recent Developments

     There are no recent industry, management or ETF related developments that are pertinent to the present and future of
     the ETF.

  Related Party Transactions

     Certain services have been provided to the ETF by related parties and those relationships are described below.

     Manager, Trustee and Investment Manager

     The manager and trustee of the ETF is AlphaPro Management Inc., 26 Wellington Street East, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario,
     M5E 1S2, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario specializing in actively managed ETFs. AlphaPro is a
     subsidiary of Horizons ETFs Management (Canada) Inc., which also serves as the ETF’s investment manager (“Horizons
     Management” or the “Investment Manager”), and both entities are members of the Mirae Asset Financial Group. If the ETF
     invests in the Horizons Management ETFs, Horizons Management may receive management fees in respect of the ETF’s
     assets invested in such Horizons Management ETFs. The offices of the Manager and Investment Manager are the same.

     Other Related Parties

     An affiliate of National Bank of Canada (“NBC”) and National Bank Financial Inc. (“NBF”) holds an indirect minority interest
     in the Manager. NBF acts or may act as a designated broker, an underwriter and/or a registered trader (market maker).
     These relationships may create actual or perceived conflicts of interest which investors should consider in relation to an
     investment in the ETF. In particular, by virtue of these relationships, NBF may profit from the sale and trading of the ETF’s
     units. NBF, as market maker of the ETF in the secondary market, may therefore have economic interests which differ from
     and may be adverse to those of unitholders.

     Fiera, the sub-advisor of the ETF, is an affiliate of NBF and, as stated above, an affiliate of NBF holds an indirect minority
     interest in the Manager. As a result, Fiera may be considered to be an associate of the Manager.

     NBF’s potential roles as a designated broker and a dealer of the ETF is not as an underwriter of the ETF in connection with
     the primary distribution of units under the ETF’s prospectus. NBF was not involved in the preparation of, nor did it per-
     form any review of, the contents of the ETF’s prospectus. NBF and its affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in
     business with the ETF, the issuers of securities making up the investment portfolio of the ETF, or with the Manager or any
     funds sponsored by the Manager or its affiliates, including by making loans, executing brokerage transactions, entering
     into derivative transactions or providing advisory or agency services. In addition, the relationship between NBF and its af-
     filiates, and the Manager and its affiliates may extend to other activities, such as being part of a distribution syndicate for
     other funds sponsored by the Manager or its affiliates.

     The ETF, in its course of normal business in seeking to achieve its investment objective, may enter into portfolio transac-
     tions that involve an investment in securities of an issuer that is a related party to the Manager. The Manager is permitted
     to execute these transactions without seeking advance approval from the ETF’s Independent Review Committee (“IRC”),
     provided the Manager complies with the predetermined list of requirements agreed upon with the IRC.

     For the period ended June 30, 2016, the ETF did not make any payments to NBF and/or its affiliates in broker commissions
     on portfolio transactions.

                                                                                                                                      5

   1.   This information is derived from the ETF’s unaudited interim financial statements as at June 30, 2016 and the audited annual financial statements as at December 31, 2015. Class E units and Advisor
        Class units of the ETF have an initial net asset value of $10.00 as at August 12, 2015. Information is presented in accordance with IFRS.
   2.   Net assets per unit and distributions are based on the actual number of units outstanding at the relevant time. The increase (decrease) from operations is based on the weighted average number of
        units outstanding over the financial period.
   3.   Income, dividend and/or return of capital distributions, if any, are paid in cash, reinvested in additional units of the ETF, or both. Capital gains distributions, if any, may or may not be paid in cash. Non-
        cash capital gains distributions are reinvested in additional units of the ETF and subsequently consolidated. They are reported as taxable distributions and increase each unitholder’s adjusted cost base
        for their units. Neither the number of units held by the unitholder, nor the net asset per unit of the ETF change as a result of any non-cash capital gains distributions. Distributions classified as return of
        capital, if any, decrease each unitholder’s adjusted cost base for their units. The characteristics of distributions, if any, are determined subsequent to the end of the ETF’s tax year. Until such time, distribu-
        tions are classified as from net investment income (excluding dividends) for reporting purposes.
   4.   The Financial Highlights are not intended to act as a continuity of the opening and closing net assets per unit.

     1.   This information is provided as at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Information is presented in accordance with IFRS.
     2.   Management expense ratio is based on total expenses, including sales tax, (excluding commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) for the stated period and is expressed as an annualized per-
          centage of daily average net asset value during the period. Out of its management fees, the Manager pays for such services to the ETF as investment manager compensation, service fees and marketing.
     3.   The Manager, at its discretion, may waive and/or absorb a portion of the fees and/or expenses otherwise payable by the ETF. The waiving and/or absorption of such fees and/or expenses by the
          Manager may be terminated at any time, or continued indefinitely, at the discretion of the Manager.
     4.   The trading expense ratio represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the period.
     5.   The ETF’s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively its portfolio investments are traded. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the ETF buying and selling all of the securities in its port-
          folio once in the course of the year. Generally, the higher the ETF’s portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the trading costs payable by the ETF in the year, and the greater the chance of an investor
          receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a high turnover rate and the performance of the ETF.

   Management Fees

      The Manager appoints the Investment Manager and provides, or oversees the provision of, administrative services re-
      quired by the ETF including, but not limited to: negotiating contracts with certain third-party service providers, such as
      portfolio managers, custodians, registrars, transfer agents, auditors and printers; authorizing the payment of operating
      expenses incurred on behalf of the ETF; arranging for the maintenance of accounting records for the ETF; preparing re-
      ports to unitholders and to the applicable securities regulatory authorities; calculating the amount and determining the
      frequency of distributions by the ETF; preparing financial statements, income tax returns and financial and accounting
      information as required by the ETF; ensuring that unitholders are provided with financial statements and other reports as
      are required from time to time by applicable law; ensuring that the ETF complies with all other regulatory requirements,
      including the continuous disclosure obligations of the ETF under applicable securities laws; administering purchases,
      redemptions and other transactions in units of the ETF; and dealing and communicating with unitholders of the ETF. The
      Manager provides office facilities and personnel to carry out these services, if not otherwise furnished by any other ser-
      vice provider to the ETF. The Manager also monitors the investment strategies of the ETF to ensure that the ETF complies
      with its investment objectives, investment strategies and investment restrictions and practices.

      In consideration for the provision of these services, the Manager receives a monthly management fee at the annual rate
      of 0.35%, plus applicable sales taxes, of the net asset value of the ETF’s Class E units and 0.85%, plus applicable sales taxes,
      of the net asset value of the ETF’s Advisor Class units, calculated and accrued daily and payable monthly in arrears.

      The Manager, and not the ETF, will pay to registered dealers a service fee equal to 0.50% per year of the net asset value
      of Advisor Class units held by clients of the registered dealer. No service fees are paid to registered dealers in respect of
      Class E units.

      The Investment Manager and Sub-Advisor are compensated for their services out of the management fees without any
      further cost to the ETF. Any expenses of the ETF which are waived or absorbed by the Manager are paid out of the man-
      agement fees received by the Manager.

      The table below details, in percentage terms, the services received by the ETF from the Manager in consideration of the
      management fees paid during the period.

Past Performance

        Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with an investment in the
        ETF. Please read the prospectus before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical total returns including
        changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions, and do not take into account sales, redemptions, distributions
        or optional charges or income taxes payable by any investor that would have reduced returns. An investment in the ETF is
        not guaranteed. Its value changes frequently and past performance may not be repeated. The ETF’s performance num-
        bers assume that all distributions are reinvested in additional units of the ETF. If you hold this ETF outside of a registered
        plan, income and capital gains distributions that are paid to you increase your income for tax purposes whether paid to
        you in cash or reinvested in additional units. The amount of the reinvested taxable distributions is added to the adjusted
        cost base of the units that you own. This would decrease your capital gain or increase your capital loss when you later
        redeem from the ETF, thereby ensuring that you are not taxed on this amount again. Please consult your tax advisor
        regarding your personal tax situation.
