NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 2024
1. ORGANIZATION

BTS Managed Income Fund ("Managed Income Fund") and BTS Tactical Fixed Income Fund ("Fixed Income Fund"), each a "Fund" and together, the "Funds", are a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Fund Trust (the "Trust"), a trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 19, 2005 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Fixed Income Fund commenced operations on May 31, 2013 and the Managed Income Fund commenced operations on January 25, 2019. The investment objectives of each Fund are to seek to provide total return.

Each Fund currently offers four classes of shares: Class A shares, Class C shares, Class I shares and Class R shares. For the Fixed Income Fund the Class A shares and Class C shares commenced operations on May 31, 2013, Class I shares commenced operations on May 27, 2015 and Class R shares commenced operations on May 5, 2015. The Managed Income Fund's Class A shares, Class C shares, Class I shares and Class R shares commenced operations on January 25, 2019. Class A shares of each Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 3.75% for each Fund. Class C shares, Class I shares and Class R shares are offered at net asset value. Each class of shares of the Funds have identical rights and privileges, except with respect to arrangements pertaining to shareholder servicing or distribution, class-related expenses, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares. The Funds share classes differ in the fees and expenses charged to shareholders. The Funds' income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class. The Funds are "fund of funds", in that they will generally invest in other investment companies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies" including FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-08.

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 ("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. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust's 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. 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.

Valuation of Underlying Funds - The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the "Underlying Funds"). 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 to the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.

Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, 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 purchased by the Funds will not change.

Exchange Traded Funds - The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs"). ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and 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 gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

The Funds 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 Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Adviser as its valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee"). The Board may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, which approval shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.

Fair Valuation Process - The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. 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 Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee 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; and (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 Fund's calculation of its net asset value. 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 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 a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee 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 Fund's 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 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 the fair value of all 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 a 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 a Fund's 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.

17

BTS Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
June 30, 2024

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, summarizes the inputs used as of June 30, 2024 for the Funds' investments measured at fair value:

Managed Income Fund

Assets * Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Exchange-Traded Funds $ 7,864,839 $ - $ - $ 7,864,839
Short Term Investment 93,003 - - 93,003

Short Term Investment 570,337 - - 570,337
Total Investments $ 64,942,982 $ - $ - $ 64,942,982

The Funds did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 securities during the period.

* Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for Classification.

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.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and 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 the Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results from operations or net asset value per share of the Funds.

Federal Income Tax - Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision 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 analyzed the Funds' tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2023 or expected to be taken in the Funds' December 31, 2024 year-end tax return. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds may make significant investments. 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.

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, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
June 30, 2024

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. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents are held with a financial institution. The assets of the Funds may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks and such deposits generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. The FDIC insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 for each accountholder. The counterparty is generally a single bank rather than a group of financial institutions; thus, there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The Funds place deposits only with those counterparties which are believed to be creditworthy and there has been no history of loss.

Securities Lending Risk - The Funds may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as banks and certain broker-dealers. A Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund (see additional information at Note 7).

Market and Geopolitical Risk - The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Funds' portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate-change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment in the Funds.

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

The tax character of fund distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, was as follows:

For fiscal year ended Ordinary Long-Term Return of
12/31/2023 Income Capital Gains Capital Total
Managed Income Fund $ 452,988 $ - $ - $ 452,988

Tactical Fixed Income Fund 465,374 - - (112,574,267 ) - 2,446,168 (109,662,725 )

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain/(loss), and unrealized depreciation from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

At December 31, 2023, the Fund had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as follows:

Capital Loss Carry Forward
Fund Short-Term Long-Term Total Utilized
Managed Income Fund 2,117,806 2,038,974 4,156,780 -

7. SECURITIES LENDING

Under an agreement (the "Securities Lending Agreement") with the Securities Finance Trust Company ("SFTC"), the Funds can lend their portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. For each securities loan, the borrower shall transfer collateral in an amount determined by applying the margin to the market value of the loaned available securities (102% for same currency and 105% for cross currency). Collateral is invested in highly liquid, short-term instruments such as money market funds in accordance with the Funds' security lending procedures. The Funds continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Funds have the right under the Securities Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand; if the borrower fails to deliver the securities on a timely basis, the Funds could experience delays or losses on recovery. Additionally, the Funds are subject to the risk of loss from investments made with the cash received as collateral. The Funds manage credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral agreements

21

BTS Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
June 30, 2024

with third party borrowers that provide in the event of default (such as bankruptcy or a borrower's failure to pay or perform), the right to net a third-party borrower's rights and obligations under such agreement and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty. The Funds did not have any securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

8. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fixed Income Fund and the Managed Income Fund have each entered into a line of credit agreement with U.S. Bank N.A. for investment purposes subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act for borrowings. The maximum amount the Fixed Income Fund is allowed to borrow under its agreement is the lesser of $18,000,000, or 20% of the gross market value of the Fixed Income Fund or 33 1/3% of the gross market value (as determined solely by the Bank using consistently applied valuation methods disclosed to the Borrower) of the unencumbered assets of the Fixed Income Fund. The maximum amount the Managed Income Fund is allowed to borrow under its agreement is the lesser of $2,000,000 or 20% of the gross market value of the Managed Income Fund or 33 1/3% of the gross market value (as determined solely by the Bank using consistently applied valuation methods disclosed to the Borrower) of the unencumbered assets of the Managed Income Fund. Borrowings under each agreement bear interest at the Prime Rate of 8.5% as of June 30, 2024, per annum, on the principal balance outstanding. The maturity date of each line of credit is July 29, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Fixed Income Fund and the Managed Income Fund did not draw upon or access the line of credit. As a result, average borrowings and the average interest rate on the line during the six months ended June 30, 2024, were $0 and 0%, respectively, for both the Fixed Income Fund and the Managed Income Fund.

9. UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES

The Fixed Income Fund currently invests a portion of its assets in the Xtrackers USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (the "HYLB ETF"). The HYLB ETF seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive USD High Yield Corporates Total Market Index; a rules-based, market value weighted index engineered to mirror the performance of high-yield-rated corporate bonds issued in U.S. dollars. The Fixed Income Fund may redeem its investment from the HYLB ETF at any time if the Advisor determines that it is in the best interest of the Fixed Income Fund and its shareholders to do so. The performance of the Fixed Income Fund will be directly affected by the performance of the HYLB ETF. The financial statements of the HYLB ETF, including the portfolio of investments, can be found at the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") website www.sec.gov and should be read in conjunction with the Fixed Income Fund's financial statements. As of June 30, 2024, the percentage of the Fixed Income Fund's net assets invested in the HYLB ETF was 68.9%.

10. CONTROL OWNERSHIP

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2024, the shareholders listed below held, for the benefit of others, more than 25% of an individual Fund and may be deemed to control that Fund. The Funds have no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned, by the parties noted below, are also owned beneficially by any party who would be presumed to control the respective Funds.

Shareholder Fund Percent
Pershing LLC Managed Income Fund 41.7%
Pershing LLC Tactical Fixed Income Fund 39.7%
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
