(1) ORGANIZATION

The Toews Agility Shares Dynamic Tactical Income ETF (the “Income Fund”) and Toews Agility Shares Managed Risk ETF (the “Managed Risk Fund”) (each a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”), are each a series of shares of beneficial interest of the Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 19, 2005, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Funds commenced operations on June 24, 2020. The Funds are actively managed exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) that are each a “fund of funds” in that the Funds will generally invest in other investment companies. The Income Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide income. The Income Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in ETFs; options on ETFs, equities and indices; futures and options that invest in or are otherwise exposed to domestic and foreign high-yield debt instruments. The Managed Risk Fund’s investment objective is to provide income and long-term growth of capital, while limiting risk. The Managed Risk Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any amounts of borrowing, in: 1) equity and equity index futures, 2) equity index options, 3) options on equity index futures, 4) options on ETFs, 5) ETFs that invest primarily in common stocks, 6) ETFs that invest primarily in fixed income securities, 7) common stocks, 8) fixed income securities and 9) cash or cash equivalents.

(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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (’‘GAAP”), and require 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. Each Fund is an investment company 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 2013-08.

Operating Segments - The Funds have adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 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 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. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each 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 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 exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods that 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. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as “odd lots” and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as “round lots”. The Funds may fair value a particular bond if the adviser does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Funds’ holding. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost (which approximates fair value). Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the final settle price or, in the absence of a sale price, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the

day of valuation. Index options shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

The Funds may hold investments, 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 investments are valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has designated the adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to execute these procedures. 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, approval of which 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 affects 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 investments, 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 a 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.

Options Transactions - The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objective and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against risk. When a Fund writes put and call options, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Funds have no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retain the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

10

Toews Agility Shares ETFs

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)

October 31, 2025

The Funds may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in the Funds’ portfolios or to gain inverse exposure to market index. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Funds to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. Call options are purchased to allow the Funds to enter a futures contract or purchase an exchange-traded note at a specified price. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Funds upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security, index, or future rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Funds. In addition, in the event that the price of the security, index, or future in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to a Fund, the benefits realized by the Funds as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.

Valuation of Underlying Funds - The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). Investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Open-end investment companies 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 open-end funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies and ETFs, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company or ETF purchased by the Funds will not change.

Exchange Traded Funds - The Funds may invest in 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. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities in which it invests, 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.

Futures Contracts - The Funds are subject to equity price risk risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to hedge against market risk and to reduce return volatility. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts as presented in deposit at broker for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Funds’ 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 Funds recognize a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Funds’ basis in the contract. If the Funds were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Funds 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 Funds segregate 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds because futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)

October 31, 2025

In unusual circumstances, securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trust’s Fair Value Committee and in accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Board will review the fair value method in use for securities requiring a fair market value determination at least quarterly. The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security.

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 the Funds have the ability to access.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on 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 October 31, 2025 for the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Security Transactions and Related Income

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date basis. 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

Ordinarily, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly by the Income Fund and annually by the Managed Risk Fund. The Funds distribute their net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and 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.

Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to continue 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 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 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 April 30, 2023, to April 30, 2025, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ April 30, 2026, year-end tax returns. The Funds identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Ohio. 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 (as determined by the Board), taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds 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 Funds and Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties 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, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

(3) CASH - CONCENTRATION IN UNINSURED ACCOUNT

For cash management purposes, the Funds may concentrate cash with the Funds’ custodian. This typically results in cash balances exceeding the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. As of October 31, 2025, the Managed Risk Fund held $28,936,589 in cash at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. that exceeded the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 per account.

(5) INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Toews Corporation serves as the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”). Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Funds, the Adviser, subject to the authority of the Board, is responsible for managing the day to day operations of the Funds, including: selecting the overall investment strategies. As compensation for its services, the Funds pay to the Adviser an annual advisory fee (computed daily and paid monthly) at an annual rate of 0.85% of its average daily net assets. For the six months ended October 31, 2025, the Income Fund and Managed Risk Fund incurred advisory fees of $204,304 and $1,269,109, respectively.

The Adviser, pursuant to an expense limitation agreement (the “Agreement”) has contractually agreed to reduce the Funds’ fees and/or absorb expenses of each Fund until at least August 31, 2026 to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and reimbursement (exclusive of any taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, indirect expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which a Fund may invest, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 0.95% of average daily net assets. The Agreement may be terminated by the Board on 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the applicable Fund in future years on a rolling three-year basis (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed) if such recoupment can be achieved within the foregoing expense limits. No reimbursement amount will be paid to the Adviser in any fiscal quarter unless the Board has determined in advance that a reimbursement is in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. For the six months ended October 31, 2025, the Income Fund and Managed Risk Fund waived advisory fees in the amount of $74,274 and $63,301, respectively.

As of October 31, 2025, the total amount of expense reimbursement subject to recapture for the Funds were as follows:

Expires Expires Expires
April 30, 2026 April 30, 2027 April 30, 2028 Total
Income Fund $ 133,279 $ 144,888 $ 151,472 $ 429,639
Managed Risk Fund $ 138,595 $ 138,824 $ 121,131 $ 398,550

The Trust, with respect to the Funds, has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay distribution fees to Northern Lights Distibutors, LLC (the “Distributor”) and other firms that provide distribution and shareholder services (“Service Providers”). If a Service Provider provides these services, the Funds may pay fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

No distribution or service fees are currently paid by the Funds and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees were charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in the Funds.

In addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Funds as follows:

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”), an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration and fund accounting services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Funds pay UFS customary fees for providing administration and fund accounting services to the Funds. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Funds for servicing in such capacities.

BluGiant, LLC (“BluGiant”), an affiliate of UFS and the Distributor, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Funds on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, BluGiant receives customary fees from the Funds.

Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“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 Funds.

(6) 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 the Funds only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 25,000 shares. Only Authorized Participants or transactions done through an Authorized Participant 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 DTC 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, a Fund may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Fund shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Funds in effecting trades. A fixed fee payable to the Custodian may be 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 are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate a 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”). Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The Transaction Fees for the Funds are listed in the table below:

Fee for In-Kind and Cash Purchases Maximum Additional Variable Charge for Cash

(7) PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

The Funds’ investments in securities, financial instruments and derivatives expose it to various risks, certain of which are discussed below. Please refer to the Funds’ prospectus and statement of additional information for a full listing of risks associated with the Funds’ investments which include, but are not limited to: authorized participant concentration risk, cybersecurity risk, derivatives risk, futures risk, gap risk, leverage risk, limited history of operations risk, management risk, newly-formed company risk, options risk and securities market risk.

Underlying Fund Risk - Each Underlying Fund, including each ETF, is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the Underlying Fund. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, foreign and related currency risk, as well as risks associated with real estate investments and commodities. Investors in a Fund will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying investment companies in which the Fund invests in addition to the Fund’s direct fees and expenses.

Derivatives Risk - The derivative instruments in which the Funds may invest, including futures, options and other similar instruments, may be more volatile than other instruments. The risks associated with investments in derivatives also include liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuation. Changes in the market value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Funds could lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, if a derivative is being used for hedging purposes there can be no assurance given that each derivative position will achieve a perfect correlation with the security or currency against which it is being hedged, or that a particular derivative position will be available when sought by the portfolio manager.

ETF Structure Risks: The Funds are structured as ETFs and as a result is subject to the special risks, including:

Not Individually Redeemable. Funds’ shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Funds at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” You may incur brokerage costs purchasing enough Funds’ shares to constitute a Creation Unit.
Trading Issues. Trading in Funds’ shares on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Funds’ shares inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility. There can be no assurance that Funds’ shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of the Exchange. An active trading market for the Funds’ shares may not be developed or maintained. If the Funds’ shares are traded outside a collateralized settlement system, the number of financial institutions that can act as authorized participants that can post collateral on an agency basis is limited, which may limit the market for the Funds’ shares.
Market Price Variance Risk. The market prices of Funds’ shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for Funds’ shares and will include a “bid-ask spread” charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. There may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly and you may pay more than NAV when buying Funds’ shares on the secondary market, and you may receive less than NAV when you sell those Funds’ shares. The market price of Funds’ shares, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a “bid-ask spread” charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. In times of severe market disruption, the bid-ask spread often increases significantly. This means that Funds’ shares may trade at a discount to NAV and the discount is likely to be greatest when the price of Funds’ shares are falling fastest, which may be the time that you most want to sell your Funds’ shares. The Funds’ investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Funds over a period of time. Investors purchasing and selling Funds’ shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by those creating and redeeming directly with the Funds.

In times of market stress, market makers may step away from their role market making in shares of ETFs and in executing trades, which can lead to differences between the market value of Funds’ shares and the Funds’ NAV.

The market price for the Funds’ shares may deviate from the Funds’ NAV, particularly during times of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or significantly less for Funds’ shares than the Funds’ NAV, which is reflected in the bid and ask price for Funds’ shares or in the closing price.
When all or a portion of an ETFs underlying securities trade in a market that is closed when the market for the Funds’ shares is open, there may be changes from the last quote of the closed market and the quote from the Funds’ domestic trading day, which could lead to differences between the market value of the Funds’ shares and the Funds’ NAV.
In stressed market conditions, the market for the Funds’ shares may become less liquid in response to the deteriorating liquidity of the Funds’ portfolio. This adverse effect on the liquidity of the Funds’ shares may, in turn, lead to differences between the market value of the Funds’ shares and the Funds’ NAV.

Fluctuation of Net Asset Value Risk: The NAV of the Funds’ shares will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Funds’ holdings. The market prices of the Shares will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of and demand for the shares on the Exchange. The Adviser cannot predict whether the shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for the Shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Funds’ holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. In addition, unlike conventional ETFs, the Funds are not index funds. The Funds are actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. Index based ETFs have generally traded at prices which closely correspond to NAV per share. Actively managed ETFs have a limited trading history and, therefore, there can be no assurance as to whether and/or the extent to which the Shares will trade at premiums or discounts to NAV.

Market Risk - Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Funds. The market values of securities or other investments owned by each Fund will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, exchange rates and political events affect the securities markets. Changes in market conditions and interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. Unexpected local, regional or global events and their aftermath, such as war; acts of terrorism; tariffs and trade wars; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; recessions and depressions; or other tragedies, catastrophes and events could have a significant impact on the Funds and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Funds’ NAV, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. Such events can cause investor fear and panic, which can adversely affect the economies of many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.

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 10).

Portfolio Turnover Risk - As a Fund principally investing in Underlying Funds, higher portfolio turnover within the Underlying Funds will result in higher transactional and brokerage costs for the Underlying Funds. Similarly, a higher portfolio turnover rate for a Fund itself will result in higher transactional and brokerage costs. Active trading may also increase a Fund’s realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as a Fund shareholder.

The Income Fund has entered into a securities lending arrangement with the Securities Finance Trust Company (“SFTC”). Under an agreement (the “Securities Lending Agreement”) with SFTC, the Income Fund can lend its 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 Income Fund’s security lending procedures. The Income Fund continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Income Fund has 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 Income Fund could experience delays or losses on recovery. Additionally, the Income Fund is subject to the risk of loss from investments made with the cash received as collateral. The Income Fund manages credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral agreements 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. As of October 31, 2025, the Income Fund did not have any securities out on loan.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

Toews Corporation Adviser to Toews Agility Shares Dynamic Tactical Income ETF (“Toews Agility Dynamic”) and Toews Agility Shares Managed Risk Equity ETF (“Toews Agility Managed”) *

In connection with the regular meeting held on June 25-26, 2025 of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) of the Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Toews Asset Management (“TAM”) and the Trust, with respect to the Toews Agility Dynamic and Toews Agility Managed (each a “Fund” and collectively referred to as the “Funds”). In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees were assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the Advisory Agreement review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal 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. The conclusions reached by the Trustees 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.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees observed that TAM was founded in 1995 and with approximately $921 million in assets under management (“AUM”). They further noted that TAM provides discretionary and non-discretionary advisory services, model portfolio management, and tactically managed strategies based on behavioral sciences principles. The Trustees reviewed the education and financial industry experience of the investment personnel that would be responsible for the advisory services provided to the Funds. The Trustees noted that TAM performs continuous technical research and analysis to develop and maintain a rules-based, behavioral investing style that drives security selection, determines each portfolio’s target allocation, and manages risk exposure. The Trustees further noted that TAM studies current market conditions to help determine whether to buy or sell securities and utilizes derivatives to increase or decrease portfolio exposures and decides the appropriate exposure level to the target allocation. The Trustees note that TAM’s CCO oversees the adviser’s website ensuring fund related materials and data feeds are timely and accurate. The Trustees acknowledged that TAM reported no cybersecurity incidents this past year, carries cybersecurity insurance, employs an IT service provider to conduct infrastructure assessments and testing, and embarked on significant upgrade to enhance its IT infrastructure and operation against advanced cyber threats and provide stronger controls. The Trustees noted that TAM does not utilize artificial intelligence in its investment process but does utilize artificial intelligence on a limited basis for research, document summarization, and data analysis. They further noted TAM had no material compliance issues or litigation issues since the previous advisory agreement approval. The Trustees noted TAM investment team’s long-term experience in tactical asset management and commitment to active management aimed at limiting downside risk. The Trustees concluded that TAM is expected to continue providing high level of quality service to the Funds.

Performance.

Toews Agility Dynamic. The Trustees reviewed performance information for the Fund and noted that the Fund has approximately $36 million in AUM, with an increase of approximately $5 million from the prior year. The Trustees acknowledged that the Fund had a twelve-month rolling performance in the bottom quartile 74% of the time since inception.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

October 31, 2025

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s standard deviation performed well compared to the peer group. The Trustees further noted that the Fund has produced a positive return in all time periods and that TAM should be retained as the adviser for the Fund.

Toews Agility Managed. The Trustees reviewed performance information for the Fund and noted that the Fund has approximately $202 million in AUM, with an increase of approximately $67 million from the prior year. The Trustees noted the performance quartile over time has been strong and the Fund’s standard deviation has generally been within the first two quartiles with a 9.12% return since inception. The Trustees concluded that TAM is managing the Fund according to its investment strategy and that TAM should be retained as the adviser for the Fund.

Fees and Expenses.

Toews Agility Dynamic. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee of 0.85% ranked the highest in the Broadridge generated peer group. The Trustees acknowledged that TAM’s explanation for the advisory fee is the uniqueness of the Fund’s investment strategy, and TAM does not believe the peer group is an ideal comparison to the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Toews Agility Managed. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee of 0.85% ranked in the 67th percentile in the Broadridge generated peer group. The Trustees acknowledged that TAM’s explanation for advisory fee is based on the length of experience TAM’s experience, the investment space of the Fund, and the resources devoted to the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether TAM had achieved economies of scale with respect to its management of the Toews Funds. The Trustees noted that TAM had stated it would consider breakpoints with respect to certain Toews Funds, but the Funds had not achieved the desired AUMs to instill breakpoints. The Trustees agreed that in light of the expense limitation agreements in place and TAM’s perceived capacity limitations on the potential size of the Funds, the absence of breakpoints was acceptable.

Profitability. The Trustees reviewed TAM’s profitability analysis, in terms of absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue, with respect to each of the Toews Funds. The Trustees observed that, before paying distribution expenses, TAM had realized a profit with respect to each of the Toews Funds. The Board concluded that TAM’s relationship with each of the Toews Funds was not excessively profitable.

Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from TAM as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of legal counsel, the Trustees concluded that the approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.

* Due to the timing of the contract renewal schedule, these deliberations may or may not relate to the current performance results of the Funds.
