| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements 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 income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are each an investment company 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.
Operating Segments - The Funds have adopted FASB ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07). Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Funds financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entitys chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is comprised of the portfolio manager and Chief Financial Officer of the Funds. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each Funds income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of each Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
Security 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 (NOCP). 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. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining

until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Each Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the fair value procedures approved by the Trusts Board of Trustees (the Board). The Board has retained responsibility for fair value determinations, however, it delegated execution of the fair value procedures to a fair value committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) Adviser. The committee may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board has also engaged a third-party valuation firm to attend valuation meetings held by the Trust, review minutes of such meetings and report to the Board on a quarterly basis. The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.
Fair Valuation Process - As noted above, the fair value committee is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) adviser. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the adviser, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the adviser to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a significant event) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Funds calculation of its net asset values. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the adviser based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the adviser is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value committee shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Funds holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar

| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
| November 30, 2025 |
securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure fair value of all of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes the 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 Fund 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 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 in its entirety.
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 November 30, 2025 for the Funds assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Short Sales Risk - FFLS is subject to short sales risk. Short sales are transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does not own. The Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be higher or lower than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. If the underlying security goes down in price between the time the Fund sells the security and buys it back, the Fund will realize a gain on the transaction. Conversely, if the underlying security goes up in price during the period, the Fund will realize a loss on the transaction.
Security Transactions and Related Income - Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Withholding Tax Policy -The Funds are subject to foreign withholding tax imposed by certain foreign countries in which each Fund may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Funds may file withholding tax refunds in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds will record receivable for such tax refunds based on several factors including; an assessment of a jurisdictions legal obligation to pay reclaims, administrative practices and payment history.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually in December. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) 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. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Taxes - The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify each year as regulated investment companies (RIC) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and annually distributing substantially all net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Funds tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the current tax year or on returns filed in previous tax years which are still open to examination by all major tax authorities (generally, federal returns are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing) The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations when incurred. During the fiscal year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds typically intend to annually distribute sufficient net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains if any, so that they will not be subject to the excise tax on undistributed income of RICs. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed annually, the Funds could incur a tax expense.
Expenses - 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 (as determined by the Board), taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the fund in the Trust.
Indemnification - The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

| 4. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES |
The Future Fund, LLC (Adviser) serves as investment adviser to each of the Funds. Pursuant to an Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Funds, the Adviser, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser, the Funds pay the Adviser a management fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% and 1.00% of average daily net assets for FFND and FFLS, respectively. For the six months ended November 30, 2025, FFND and FFLS incurred $229,501 and $203,374 in advisory fees, respectively.
Effective as of May 1, 2025, the advisory fee for the FFND is 0.50% on the first $200,000,000 of net assets, 0.45% on net assets between $200,000,001 - $500,000,000, 0.40% on net assets between $500,000,001 - $1,000,000,000, and 0.35% on net assets $1,000,000,001 and over. Prior to May 1,2025, and effective as of April 1, 2025, the advisory fee for the FFND is 0.70% on the first $50,000,000 of net assets, 0.65% on net assets between $50,000,001 - $100,000,000, 0.55% on net assets between $100,000,001 - $200,000,000, 0.50% on net assets between $200,000,001 - $500,000,000, 0.45% on net assets between $500,000,001 - $1,000,000,000, and 0.40% on net assets $1,000,000,001 and over. Prior to April 1, 2025, FFND computed and accrued daily and paid monthly management fees at an annual rate of 0.75%.
Pursuant to a written contract (the Waiver Agreement), the Adviser has agreed, at least until September 30, 2026, to waive a portion of its advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse the Fund for other expenses to the extent necessary so that the total expenses incurred by the Funds (excluding any front-end or contingent deferred loads, brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), taxes and extraordinary or non-recurring expenses, including, but not limited to, litigation) do not exceed 1.00% for FFND and 1.24% for FFLS. For the six months ended November 30, 2025, the Adviser recaptured $20,000 of previously waived fees in FFND and waived fees/reimbursed expenses of $88,915 in FFLS.
If the Adviser waives any fee or reimburses any expenses pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and any Funds operating expenses are subsequently lower than its respective expense limitation, the Adviser shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund provided that such
22
| The Future Fund ETFs |
| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
| November 30, 2025 |
reimbursement does not cause the Funds operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation. The Adviser is permitted to receive reimbursement from a Fund for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid, subject to the limitation that: (1) the reimbursement for fees and expenses will be made only if payable within three years from the date the fees and expenses were initially waived or reimbursed; and (2) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the expense limitation in effect at the time of the waiver or currently in effect, whichever is lower, to be exceeded. A Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Adviser is entitled to any reimbursement of management fees and/or expenses. This Operating Expense Limitation Agreement can be terminated only by, or with the consent, of the Board of Trustees.
As of May 31, 2025, the following amounts previously waived by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Funds by the following dates:

| 5. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Funds at NAV only in large blocks known as Creation Units. Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 20,000 shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the distributor. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per share of a Fund on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. In addition, the Funds may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Fund shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund in effecting trades. A fixed fee payable to the Custodian is imposed on each creation and redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units involved in the transaction (Fixed Fee). Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for cash or involving cash-in-lieu (as defined below) are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate the Fund and its ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions (Variable Charge, and together with the Fixed Fee, the Transaction Fees). With the approval of the Board, the Adviser may waive or adjust the Transaction Fees, including the Fixed Fee and/or Variable Charge (shown in the table below), from time to time. In such cases, the Authorized Participant will reimburse the Funds for, among other things, any difference between the market value at which the securities and/or financial instruments were purchased by the Funds and the cash-in-lieu amount, applicable registration fees, brokerage commissions and certain taxes. In addition, purchasers of Creation Units are responsible for the costs of transferring the Deposit Securities to the accounts of the Funds. Transactions in capital shares for the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

The difference between book basis and tax basis accumulated net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gains (losses), and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, adjustments for partnerships, and mark-to-market on open passive foreign investment companies. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency losses of $(29,440).
Capital losses incurred after October 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The One Global ETF incurred and elected to defer such capital losses of $1,341,528.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE TRUSTEES IN APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
At a Meeting (the Meeting) of the Board of Trustees (the Board) of Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the Trust) held on July 30, 2025 the Board, including the disinterested Trustees (the Independent Trustees), considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement) between The Future Fund, LLC (Future Fund, LLC) and the Trust on behalf of each of the One Global ETF (One Global) and Future Fund Long/Short ETF (Future Fund Long/Short, and, collectively, the Future Funds).
Based on their evaluation of the information provided by Future Fund, LLC, in conjunction with the Funds other service providers, the Board, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Independent Trustees), approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each of the Funds.
In advance of the Meeting, the Board requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including the Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by Independent trustee counsel discussing in detail the Trustees fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and comparative information relating to the advisory fee and other expenses of the Funds. The materials also included due diligence materials relating to Future Fund, LLC (including due diligence questionnaires completed by Future Fund, LLC, select financial information of Future Fund, LLC, bibliographic information regarding Future Fund, LLCs key management and investment advisory personnel, and comparative fee and performance information relating to the Funds and other pertinent information. At the Meeting, the Independent Trustees were advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of fund management and met with such counsel separately from Fund management. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed materials provided by Future Fund, LLC related to the proposed renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including its ADV, a description of the manner in which investment decisions are made and executed, and a review of the personnel performing services for each of the Future Funds, including the individuals that primarily monitor and execute the investment process. The Board discussed Future Fund, LLCs research capabilities and the quality of its compliance infrastructure, noting that Future Fund, LLC uses an outside compliance consulting firm, Constellation Advisors (Constellation), to assist in the ongoing development and oversight of its compliance program. The Board noted that the personnel at Constellation who are assisting Future Fund, LLC with its compliance program are very
27
experienced in the 1940 Act and in the operations and regulations governing the management of registered investment companies including exchange traded funds. Additionally, the Board received satisfactory responses from representatives of Future Fund, LLC with respect to a series of important questions, including: whether Future Fund, LLC or its principals were involved in any lawsuits or pending regulatory actions; whether the management of other accounts would conflict with its management of each of the Future Funds; and whether there are procedures in place to adequately allocate trades among its clients. The Board reviewed the description provided on the practices for monitoring compliance with each of the Future Funds investment limitations, noting that Future Fund, LLCs chief compliance officer actively reviews the portfolio managers performance of their duties to ensure compliance under Future Fund, LLCs compliance program. The Board discussed the capitalization of Future Fund, LLC, and, based on discussions with the representative of Future Fund, LLC, concluded that Future Fund, LLCs principals had the ability to make additional contributions in order to meet Future Fund, LLCs obligations to each of the Future Funds. The Board also discussed Future Fund, LLCs compliance program with the CCO of the Trust. The Board noted that the CCO of the Trust represented that Future Fund, LLCs policies and procedures were reasonably designed to prevent violations of applicable securities laws. The Board also noted Future Fund, LLCs representation that the prospectus and statement of additional information for each of the Future Funds accurately describe the investment strategies of each of the Future Funds. The Board concluded that Future Fund, LLC had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided by Future Fund, LLC to each of the Future Funds appear to be satisfactory.
Performance. The Board discussed the report prepared by Broadridge and reviewed the performance of each of the Future Funds as compared to its respective peer group, Morningstar category and benchmark for the one-year and since inception periods ended June 30, 2025, as well as the three -year period ended June 30, 2025 in the case of One Global. With respect to One Global, the Board noted that it had outperformed its peer group median, Morningstar category median and benchmark (S&P 500) for the one-year period, while also outperforming its benchmark in the three-year period but underperforming its peer group median and Morningstar category median for that period. The Board also noted that One Global had underperformed its peer group median, Morningstar category median and benchmark for the since inception period. With respect to the Future Fund Long/Short, the Board noted that it had outperformed its peer group median and Morningstar category median for the one-year and since inception periods but had underperformed its benchmark (the S&P 500 Total Return Index) for the same periods. The Board further noted that Future Fund, LLC did not intend to make adjustments to the strategy or investment process for either of the Future Funds. After further discussion, the Board concluded that overall, each of the Future Funds past performance was acceptable and in-line with its investment objective, with recent performance showing improvement.
Fees and Expenses. As to the costs of the services to be provided by Future Fund, LLC, the Board reviewed and discussed the advisory fee and total operating expenses of each of the Future Funds as compared to its respective peer group and Morningstar category as presented in the Broadridge Report. With respect to One Global, the Board noted that while the advisory fee is below its peer group median and Morningstar category median, although net expenses were at the higher end of its peer group. The Board then reviewed the contractual arrangements for One Global noting that Future Fund, LLC had agreed to contractually waive or limit its advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit net annual operating expenses, exclusive of certain fees, at least until September 30, 2026, so as not to exceed 1.00% of the average annual net assets, and found such arrangements beneficial to shareholders of One Global. The Board concluded that the advisory fee charged by Future Fund, LLC to One Global was not unreasonable.
With respect to Future Fund Long/Short, the Board noted that while the advisory fee for Future Fund Long/Short was slightly higher than its peer group median and in line with its Morningstar category median although noting that net expenses were at the higher end of its peer group and Morningstar category. The Board then reviewed the contractual arrangements for Future Fund Long/Short noting that Future Fund, LLC had agreed to contractually waive or limit its advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit net annual operating expenses, exclusive of certain fees until September 30, 2026, so as not to exceed 1.24% of the average annual net assets, and found such arrangements beneficial to shareholders of Future Fund

Long/Short. The Board concluded that the advisory fee charged by Future Fund, LLC to Future Fund Long/Short was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to Future Fund, LLC with respect to each of the Future Funds based on profitability estimates and analyses provided by Future Fund, LLC and reviewed by the Board. After review and discussion, the Board concluded that, based on the services provided by Future Fund, LLC, the level of profit from Future Fund, LLCs relationship with each of the Future Funds was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. As to the extent to which each of the Future Funds will realize economies of scale as it grows, and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of investors, the Board discussed Future Fund, LLCs expectations for growth for each of the Future Funds and concluded that any material economies of scale would not be achieved in the near term.
Conclusion. Trust counsel and Independent Trustee counsel again assisted the Trustees throughout the agreement review process. The Board relied upon the advice of counsel, and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. Accordingly, having requested and received such information from Future Fund, LLC as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each of the Future Funds and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that: (a) the terms of the Advisory Agreement are reasonable; (b) the advisory fee is not unreasonable; and (c) the Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each of the Future Funds and their respective shareholders. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any one factor as all important, but rather considered these factors collectively and determined that renewal of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Future Funds and their shareholders. Moreover, the Board noted that each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement.
