How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

 

The Hodges Blue Chip Equity Income Fund’s six-month return amounted to a gain of 1.57% in the past six months, compared to a loss of 1.86% for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Total Return Index. The Hodges Blue Chip Equity Income Fund’s one-year return amounted to a gain of 13.95% compared to 7.82% for the Russell 1000 Total Return Index. Positive relative performance during the past year was attributed to stock selection and sector allocation. We believe the current investment landscape offers ample opportunities among high-quality, dividend-paying stocks with solid upside potential. We expect underleveraged balance sheets and corporate profits across most blue-chip stocks to support stable dividends over the next several years.

 

 

The Blue Chip Equity Income Fund remains well-diversified in companies that we believe can generate above-average income and total returns on a risk-adjusted basis. The fund had a total of 28 positions on March 31, 2025. The top ten holdings represented 46.00% of the Fund's holdings and included Apple Inc (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA), Walmart Inc (WMT), American Express Co (AXP), Eli Lilly & Co (LLY), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), Wells Fargo & Company (WFC), Abbvie Inc (ABBV), Broadcom Inc (AVGO), and Oneok Inc (OKE).

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

 

The Hodges Fund's six-month return amounted to a loss of 0.54% compared to a 1.97% loss for the S&P 500 Index. The Hodges Fund's one-year performance on March 31, 2025, amounted to a loss of 1.58% compared to a gain of 8.25% for the S&P 500 Index. Underperformance during the past year was attributed to the portfolio's exposure to a handful of industrial and consumer stocks that have seen increased volatility this year in response to fear of an economic slowdown. The Hodges Fund's turnover was elevated this past year, as we have carefully updated the portfolio holdings, moving into stocks that offer above-average returns relative to their downside risks over the next twelve to eighteen months.

 

The Hodges Fund's portfolio managers remain focused on investments where we have the highest conviction based on fundamentals and relative valuations. The fund had a total of 39 positions on March 31, 2025. The top ten holdings represented 45.50% of the Fund's holdings and included Texas Pacific Land Corp (TPL), Uber Technologies (UBER), Matador Resources Co (MTDR), DraftKings Inc (DKNG), Expand Energy Corporation (EXE), Freeport-Mcmoran Inc (FCX), SharkNinja, Inc. (SN), On Holding (ONON), Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR), and Micron Technology Inc (MU).

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

 

The return for the Hodges Small Cap Fund amounted to a loss of 9.56% in the past six months, compared to a 9.18% decrease for the Russell 2000 Index. The Small Cap Fund’s one-year performance on March 31, 2025, amounted to a loss of 4.81% compared to a loss of 4.01% for the Russell 2000 Index. Although small-cap stocks have now underperformed large-cap stocks for the better part of the past decade, we still consider the current risk/reward for holding quality small-cap stocks as attractive. While small-cap stocks tend to experience greater volatility during market turmoil, we expect this segment to generate above-average relative risk-adjusted returns over the long term. Furthermore, many small-cap companies are uniquely positioned to benefit from deregulation, a pick-up in M&A activity, AI productivity enhancements, and the reshoring of manufacturing activity in the year ahead.

 

The Hodges Small Cap Fund remains well diversified across industrials, transportation, technology, and consumer-related names, which we expect to contribute to the Fund's long-term performance. The Fund recently took profits in several stocks that appeared overvalued relative to their underlying fundamentals and established new positions with an attractive risk/reward profile. The Fund had a total of 47 positions on March 31, 2025. The top ten holdings amounted to 37.7% of the Fund's holdings and included Matador Resources (MTDR), Texas Pacific Land Corp (TPL), Taylor Morrison Home Corp (TMHC), Halozyme Therapeutics Inc (HALO), Eagle Materials Inc (EXP), Prosperity Bancshares (PB), Academy Sports & Outdoors (ASO), Hanover Insurance Group Inc (THG), On Holding Ltd (ONON), and Group 1 Automotive Inc (GPI).

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Effective September 25, 2023, the Hodges Fund, Small Cap Fund, Small Intrinsic Value Fund, and Blue Chip Equity Income Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are each a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as open-end management investment companies. Prior to September 25, 2023, each Fund was a series of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Predecessor Funds”). The Hodges Fund commenced operations on October 9, 1992. The Hodges Fund currently offers a Retail Class of shares only. The Small Cap Fund commenced operations on December 18, 2007. The Small Cap Fund currently offers two classes of shares: Retail Class and Institutional Class. The Retail Class commenced operations on December 18, 2007 and the Institutional Class commenced operations on December 12, 2008. The Small Intrinsic Value Fund commenced operations on December 26, 2013. The Small Intrinsic Value Fund currently offers two classes of shares: Retail Class and Institutional Class. The Retail Class commenced operations on December 26, 2013 and the Institutional Class commenced operations on July 30, 2024. The Blue Chip Equity Income Fund commenced operations on September 10, 2009 and offers a Retail Class of shares only.

 

Each class of shares has equal rights as to earnings and assets except that each class bears its own distribution expenses. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

 

The investment objective of the Hodges Fund, Small Cap Fund, and Small Intrinsic Value Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Blue Chip Equity Income Fund is to seek income and long-term capital appreciation.

 

The Predecessor Funds were reorganized on September 25, 2023, from a series of Professionally Managed Portfolios, a Delaware statutory trust, to a series of Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the “Survivor Funds”), also a Delaware statutory trust. As a series of Northern Lights Fund Trust II, the Funds are a continuation of the identically-named predecessor fund managed by Hodges Capital Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) that was a series of Professionally Managed Portfolios. The Funds and the Predecessor Funds have the same investment objective, principal investment strategies and portfolio manager. On the date of the reorganization, shareholders who owned shares of the predecessor funds received shares and net assets of the corresponding survivor fund as follows.

 

    Share Class   Net Assets     Shares Received  
Hodges Fund   Retail   $ 153,222,030       2,866,298  
Small Cap Fund   Retail     129,886,052       6,819,707  
Small Cap Fund   Institutional     35,890,447       1,762,300  
Small Intrinsic Value Fund   Retail     41,442,184       2,454,959  
Blue Chip Equity Income Fund   Retail     36,725,694       1,937,822  

 

 

For financial reporting purposes, assets received, and shares issued by the Funds were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Predecessor Funds was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of each Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The Funds have succeeded to the accounting and performance history of the Predecessor Funds. For financial reporting purposes, the Predecessor Funds’ financial and performance history prior to the reorganization is carried forward and reflected in the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights. Fees and expenses associated with the reorganization were borne by Hodges Capital Management, Inc. and are not subject to recoupment.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in 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 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standard Update “ASU” 2013-08.

 

Operating Segments – The Funds have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 manager and Chief Financial Officer of the Funds. 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 primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

 

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 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 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

29

 

Hodges Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2025

 

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.

 

Each 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 each 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.

 

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 March 31, 2025 for each Fund’s assets measured at fair value:

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. Each 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.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually for the Hodges Fund, Small Cap Fund and Small Intrinsic Value Fund. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for the Blue Chip Equity Income 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) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date.

 

Federal Income Taxes – Each Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to their 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 each Fund’s 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 March 31, 2022 – March 31, 2024, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ March 31, 2025 tax returns. Each Fund has identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, Ohio, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds 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.

31

 

Hodges Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2025

 

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

 

Foreign Currency Translations – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities 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.

 

Option Transactions – When a Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the statement 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 Fund 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, a Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

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 Fund’s portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund 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 Fund since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

The Advisor provides the Funds with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) . Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space, certain administrative services, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Funds. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.85% for the Hodges Fund, Small Cap Fund, Small Intrinsic Value Fund, and 0.65% for the Blue Chip Equity Income Fund, based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund. Effective as of September 1, 2020, the Advisor contractually agreed to lower its management fee in the Hodges Fund and Small Cap Fund from 0.85% to 0.82% until August 31, 2022 (the “Management Fee Waiver”). The Advisor has waived its right to receive reimbursement of the portion of its advisory fees waived pursuant to the advisory fee waiver agreement. Effective September 1, 2022, the Management Fee Waiver was terminated. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the advisory fees incurred by the Funds are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. The investment advisory fees incurred are paid monthly to the Advisor, net of any monthly waiver or reimbursement discussed below.

 

The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses. The Advisor has contractually agreed, at least until September 30, 2025, to reduce its fees and pay Fund expenses (excluding taxes, interest expenses, interest on short positions, portfolio transaction expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, extraordinary expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees and any other class specific expenses) so that the ratio of expenses to average net assets will not exceed:

 

  Retail Shares Institutional Shares
Hodges Fund 0.93%1 N/A
Small Cap Fund 1.15%1 1.15%1
Small Intrinsic Value Fund 1.03%2 0.98%2
Blue Chip Equity Income Fund 1.05% N/A

 

1 Prior to the termination of the Management Fee Waiver, these amounts were 0.90% and 1.12% for the Hodges Fund and Small Cap Fund, respectively.

 

2 Effective July 29, 2024, the Management Fee Waiver is 0.98% and 1.03% for Institutional Shares and Retail Shares, respectively. Prior to July 29, 2024, the Management Fee Waiver was 1.04% for Retail Shares.

 

Any fees waived and/or any Fund expenses absorbed (excluding any fees waived under the Management Fee Waiver) by the Advisor pursuant to an agreed upon expense cap shall be reimbursed by the respective Fund to the Advisor, if so requested by the Advisor, any time before the end of the third year following the period to which the fee waiver and/or expense absorption

33

 

Hodges Mutual Funds

relates, provided the aggregate amount of the respective Fund’s current operating expenses for such period does not exceed the lesser expense cap in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement. Each Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursements of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board’s review and approval. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the amount of fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Advisor are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. Amounts due from the Advisor are paid monthly to the Funds, if applicable.

 

The Advisor may recapture portions of the above amounts no later than the dates stated below:

 

    March 31, 2026     March 31, 2027     March 31, 2028  
Hodges Fund   $ 285,080     $ 228,346     $ 88,341  
Small Cap Fund                  
Small Intrinsic Value Fund     120,325       151,086       110,843  
Blue Chip Equity Income Fund     65,638       41,331       8,288  

 

As of March 31, 2025, $378,323, $128,404, and $54,986 in waived advisory fees expired unrecouped for Hodges Fund, Small Intrinsic Value Fund, and Blue Chip Equity Income Fund, respectively.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2025, First Dallas Securities, an affiliate of the Advisor, received $110,055, $24,193, $ 7,151, and $5,773 in brokerage commissions with respect to the Hodges Fund, Small Cap Fund, Small Intrinsic Value Fund, and Blue Chip Equity Income Fund for portfolio transactions, respectively.

 

Effective September 25, 2023, Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds’ shares. Prior to September 25, 2023, Quasar Distributors, LLC was the Funds’ distributor. The Board has adopted the Trust’s Master Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plans for Retail Class shares (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act to pay for ongoing distribution-related activities or shareholder services. Under the Plan, each Fund is permitted to pay a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Retail Class shares. Fees paid by the Funds to the Distributor for services for the year ended March 31, 2025, are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

 

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, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Funds pay UFS customary fees for providing administration, fund accounting, and transfer agency 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 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 Funds.

 

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 Funds on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from the Funds.

Blue Chip Equity Income Fluid     257,271                   257,271  

 

As of March 31, 2025, the components of accumulated earnings/ (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

    Undistributed
Ordinary

    Undistributed

Capital Gains
    Post October Loss
and
Late Year Loss
    Capital Loss
Carry Forwards
    Other

    Total
Accumulated
Earnings/(Deficits)
 
Hodges Fund   $ 3,973,253     $ 12,357,557     $     $     $ (89,106 )   $ 45,700,458     $ 61,942,162  
Small Cap Fund     2,682,220       6,173,445                         45,068,395       53,924,060  
Small Intrinsic Value Fund                 (459,668 )                 1,939,080       1,479,412  
Blue Chip Equity Income Fund     348,311       796,940                         14,881,801       16,027,052  

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income (losses), accumulated net realized gains (losses), and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and C-Corporation return of capital distributions. In addition, the amount listed under other book/tax differences is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on straddles.

 

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 Small Intrinsic Value Fund incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of $623.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

March 31, 2025

 

Capital losses incurred after October 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Small Intrinsic Value Fund incurred and elected to defer such capital losses of $459,045.

 

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, the Funds utilized tax equalization which is the use of earnings and profits distributions to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax treatment of distributions in excess, and the use of tax equalization credits resulted in reclassifications for the tax year ended March 31, 2025, as follows:

 

    Paid In     Accumulated  
    Capital     Earnings (Losses)  
Hodges Fund   $ 1,142,704     $ (1,142,704 )
Small Cap Fluid     2,662,405       (2,662,405 )
Small Intrinsic Value Fluid     (29,282 )     29,282  
Blue Chip Equity Income Fluid     279,756       (279,756 )

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of Northern Lights Fund Trust II
and Shareholders of the Hodges Funds

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Hodges Fund, Hodges Small Cap Fund, Hodges Small Intrinsic Value Fund, and Hodges Blue Chip Equity Income Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the “Trust”), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) . In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of March 31, 2025, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 1995.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
