How did the Fund perform last year? Longboard Fund, which uses a systematic trend-following strategy, performed well last year despite a volatile stock market. The Fund achieved positive returns by capitalizing on strong trends across top performing U.S. stocks. The strategy's rules-based approach enabled the Fund to adapt to changing conditions, balancing gains from upward trends with risk management during downturns. This allowed the fund to meet the objective of long-term capital appreciation with low correlation to traditional assets and other alternative investment strategies. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

| 1. | ORGANIZATION |
The Longboard Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the "Trust"), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 26, 2010, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund commenced operations on March 19, 2015.
The Fund (also referred to as "the Acquiring Fund") acquired the Longboard Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the "Acquired Fund"), in a tax-free reorganization as of the close of business on March 22, 2024 (the "Reorganization"). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund changed its name from Longboard Alternative Growth Fund to Longboard Fund on October 1, 2023. The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund were managed by the same adviser who currently manages the Fund.
The Fund currently offers Class A and Class I shares. Class A shares are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75%. The Fund launched Class A shares on December 9, 2015. Class I shares are offered at net asset value without an initial sales charge. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund's 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.
| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies," FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-08.
Operating Segments - The Fund has adopted FASB ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting ("Topic 280") - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's 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 entity's 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 managers and Chief Financial Officer of the Trust. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's 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 the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)

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 in swap contracts are priced daily based on the underlying equity securities held in the swap. Futures and future options are valued at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts ("forward currency contracts") are valued at the forward rate. 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, including commercial paper investments, having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.
The 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 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 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 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 ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask 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.
Futures Contracts - Futures contracts are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates or foreign currencies or commodities. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. If the Fund is unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The notional value of the derivative instruments disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the amounts realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed within the Statement of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Fund. As of November 30, 2025 the fund did not hold any future contracts.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure fair value of all of its 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 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.
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.

Longboard Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
November 30, 2025
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 Fund's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Consolidation of Subsidiary - Longboard Fund Limited (LFL) - The Fund acquired LFL in connection with the tax-free reorganization as of the close of business on March 22, 2024. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Fund include the accounts of LFL, which is a wholly-owned and controlled foreign subsidiary. The Fund consolidates the results of subsidiaries in which the Fund holds a controlling economic interest. Controlling economic interest is generally deemed to exist with investment interests comprising greater than 50% of the net asset value of the subsidiary. However, the Fund may also consider qualitative aspects of control in determining if a controlling economic interest exists. These qualitative control considerations include the nature and organizational structure of the investment, as well as the Fund's ability to control the circumstances leading to majority ownership. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the year ended May 31, 2025 include the results of LFL through its dissolution on January 31, 2025.
On January 30, 2025 the CFC transferred net assets of $38,895, to the Fund as part of the formal dissolution of the CFC, and that no gain or loss was recognized as a result of the transaction.
In accordance with its investment objectives and through its ability to engage in a management futures program, the Fund may have increased or decreased exposure to one or more of the following risk factors defined below:
Commodity Risk - Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk - Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
31
Longboard Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
November 30, 2025
Equity Risk - Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk - Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk - Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument's price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument's price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
Please refer to the Fund's prospectus for a full listing of risks associated with these investments.
Security Transactions and Related Income - Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. 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 annually for the Fund. 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.
Cash - The Fund consider their balances held in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Fund maintains cash balances at the custodian, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
Federal Income Taxes - The Fund has 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 Fund recognizes 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 Fund's 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)

period of three years from date of filing) The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations when incurred. During the fiscal year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund typically intends 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 Fund could incur a tax expense.
Foreign Currency - The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities, foreign currencies, 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 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.
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 Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund's 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 Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
| 3. | INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS |
For the six months ended November 30, 2025, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, other than short sales, short-term investments and U.S. Government securities, amounted to $57,017,627 and $46,030,365 respectively.
| 4. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES |
Longboard Asset Management, LP (the "Fund's Manager") serves as the Fund's Investment Adviser (the "Adviser"). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a unitary management fee for the services and facilities it provides at the annual rate of 1.99% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The unitary management fee is paid on a monthly basis. During the six months ended November 30, 2025, the Fund incurred $1,347,530 in advisory fees.
Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser pays substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for interest expenses, distribution fees or expenses, brokerage expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business. The Adviser's unitary management fee is designed to pay substantially all the Fund's expenses and to compensate the Adviser for providing services for the Fund.

The Board has adopted the Trust's Master Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b- 1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that a monthly service and/or distribution fee is calculated by the Fund at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Class A and is paid to Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the "Distributor"), to provide compensation for ongoing distribution-related activities or services and/or maintenance of the Fund's shareholder accounts, not otherwise required to be provided by the Adviser. The Plan is a compensation plan, which means that compensation is provided regardless of 12b-1 expenses incurred. For the six months ended November 30, 2025, the Fund paid $3,232 in 12b-1 fees.
The Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund's Class A and Class I shares. On the sales of Class A shares, for the six months ended November 30, 2025, the Distributor received $2,031 in underwriting commissions, of which $236 was retained by the principal underwriter or other affiliated broker-dealers. These are not expenses to the Fund, rather, a charge to share sale proceeds.
In addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Fund as follows:
Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC ("UFS") - an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Adviser pays UFS customary fees for providing administration, fund accounting, and transfer agency services to the Fund. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving in such capacities.
Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC ("NLCS") - NLCS, an affiliate of UFS and the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust. Under the terms of such agreement, NLCS receives customary fees from the Adviser.
Blu Giant, LLC ("Blu Giant") - Blu Giant, an affiliate of UFS and the Distributor, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Fund on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from the Adviser.
| 5. | CONTROL OWNERSHIP |
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of the Fund creates presumption of the control of the Fund, under section 2(a)9 of the Act. As of November 30, 2025, Charles Schwab & Co. held 47.4% of the voting securities of the Fund. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by Charles Schwab & Co. are also owned beneficially.

The difference between book basis and tax basis accumulated net investment income (loss), unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, adjustments for partnerships, real estate investment trusts, and C-Corporation return of capital distributions.
Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of $241,471.
At May 31, 2025, the Fund had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as follows:

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax treatment of net operating losses, prior year tax return updates, and the tax treatment for the Fund's wholly owned subsidiary, resulted in reclassifications for the Fund for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 as follows:

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of 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 "Longboard Advisory Agreement") between Longboard Asset Management, LP ("Longboard") and the Trust on behalf of the Longboard Fund.
Based on their evaluation of the information provided by Longboard, in conjunction with the Fund's other service providers, the Board, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Independent Trustees), approved the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund.
In advance of the Meeting, the Board requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Longboard Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including the Longboard Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Independent Trustees' outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees' fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the renewal of the Longboard Advisory Agreement and comparative information relating to the advisory fee and other expenses of the Fund. The materials also included due diligence materials relating to Longboard (including due diligence questionnaires completed by Longboard, select financial information of Longboard, bibliographic information regarding Longboard's key management and investment advisory personnel, and comparative fee information relating to the Fund) 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.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed materials provided by Longboard related to the proposed renewal of the Longboard Advisory Agreement, including Longboard's ADV, a description of the manner in which investment decisions are made and executed and a review of the professional personnel performing services for Longboard, including the individuals that primarily monitor and execute the investment process. The Board noted the efforts made by Longboard to expand its personnel in an effort to grow and market the Longboard Fund. The Board discussed Longboard's research capabilities, the quality of its compliance infrastructure and the experience of

its fund management personnel. Additionally, the Board received satisfactory responses from representatives of Longboard with respect to a series of important questions, including: whether Longboard was involved in any lawsuits or pending regulatory actions; whether Longboard's management of other accounts would conflict with its management of the Longboard Fund; and whether Longboard has procedures in place to adequately allocate trades among its respective clients. The Board reviewed the description provided by Longboard of its practices for monitoring compliance with the Longboard Fund's investment limitations, noting that Longboard's CCO would continually review the portfolio managers' performance of their duties to ensure compliance under Longboard and the Trust's compliance programs. The Board also discussed Longboard's compliance program with the CCO of the Trust. The Board noted that the CCO of the Trust continued to represent that Longboard's policies and procedures were reasonably designed to prevent violations of applicable securities laws. The Board also noted Longboard's representation that the prospectus and statement of additional information for the Longboard Fund accurately describe the investment strategies of the Longboard Fund. The Board then reviewed the capitalization of Longboard based on representations made by representatives of Longboard and concluded that Longboard was sufficiently well-capitalized, or that its control persons had the ability to make additional contributions, in order to meet its obligations to the Longboard Fund. The Board concluded that Longboard had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Longboard Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the advisory services to be provided by Longboard to the Longboard Fund were satisfactory.
Performance. The Board discussed the reports prepared by Broadridge and reviewed the performance of the Longboard Fund as compared to its peer group, Morningstar category and benchmark for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ended June 30, 2025, noting that the Longboard Fund had underperformed its peer group median, Morningstar category median and primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Total Return Index, but outperformed its secondary benchmark, the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods, and outperformed its peer group median, Morningstar category median and secondary benchmark, but underperformed its primary benchmark, for the ten-year and since inception periods. The Board also discussed Longboard's opinion that the Longboard Fund should be in a different Morningstar Category, noting that they will further monitor those efforts. After further discussion, the Board concluded that overall, the Longboard Fund's past performance was satisfactory and in-line with its investment objective.
Fees and Expenses. As to the costs of the services to be provided by Longboard, the Board reviewed and discussed the Longboard Fund's unitary fee and overall operating expenses as compared to its peer group and Morningstar category as presented in the Broadridge Report. The Board reviewed the contractual arrangements for the Longboard Fund, noting that Longboard pays substantially all expenses of the Longboard Fund, including transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, but not interest expenses, distribution fees or expenses, brokerage expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Longboard Fund's business. The Board also noted that the Longboard Advisory Agreement provides for a unitary fee of 1.99% on Fund assets and a breakpoint for the Longboard Fund as asset levels increase. Because of the unitary fee structure, the Board noted the difficulty when looking for comparable funds. In addition to the Board's evaluation of the unitary fee, the Board also took into account the all in cost of managing the investment strategy for the Longboard Fund and acknowledged that total operating expenses, exclusive of certain fees, were capped at 1.99% for the Longboard Fund noting that while its net expense ratio was at the high end of its peer group, it was not the highest in its Morningstar category. The Board concluded that based on Longboard's experience and expertise as well as the services provided to the Longboard Fund and the fact that Longboard was responsible for the payment of most of the Longboard Fund's annual operating expenses, the unitary fee paid by the Longboard Fund was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to Longboard with respect to the Longboard Fund based on profitability reports and analyses reviewed by the Board and the selected financial information provided by Longboard. After review and discussion, the Board concluded that based on the services provided or paid for by Longboard, the current assets of the Longboard Fund and the built-in breakpoints, the profits from Longboard's relationship with the Longboard Fund were not excessive.

Economies of Scale. As to the extent to which the Longboard Fund 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 the current size of the Longboard Fund, along with Longboard's expectations for growth, and concluded that any further material economies of scale were not likely to be achieved in the near term.
Conclusion. Trust Counsel and Independent Counsel again assisted the Board 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 Longboard Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. Accordingly, having requested and received such information from Longboard as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Longboard Advisory Agreement and as assisted by the advice of Independent Counsel, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that: (a) the terms of the Longboard Advisory Agreement are reasonable; (b) the unitary fee is not unreasonable; and (c) the Longboard Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Longboard Fund and its shareholders. In considering the renewal of the Longboard 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 Longboard Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Longboard Fund and its shareholders. Moreover, the Board noted that each Board member may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Longboard Advisory Agreement.
