How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

Performance of the One Global ETF (FFND) for the one-year period ending May 31, 2026 was 23.72% at NAV.

 

From a macroeconomic perspective, the market was driven by solid economic growth worldwide and the recovery from the tariff related volatility in the first quarter.

 

The Fund’s investment strategy is to invest in some of the most transformational companies in the world—companies we believe are in the best positions to capitalize on secular growth trends and take advantage of changes in technology, consumer preferences, demographics, and environmental sustainability, leading to significant increases in their total markets, earnings trajectories and market capitalizations.

 

To this end, the performance of the Fund was driven by our investments in companies that dominate their respective industries in Technology, (Intel, Applied Materials and Alphabet); Capital goods, (Caterpillar, TechnipFMC and Mercury Systems); and Health Care, (Guardant Health, Galderma, and Penumbra).

 

We thank you for your support and look forward to continuing to serve our shareholders at the highest level.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

Performance of the Future Fund Long/Short ETF (FFLS) for the one-year period ending May 31, 2026 was 0.51% at NAV.

 

From a macroeconomic perspective, the market was driven by solid economic growth worldwide and the recovery from the tariff related volatility in the first quarter.

 

The Fund’s investment strategy is to invest in some of the most transformational companies in the world—companies we believe are in the best positions to capitalize on secular growth trends and take advantage of changes in technology, consumer preferences, demographics, and environmental sustainability, leading to significant increases in their total markets, earnings trajectories and market capitalizations. While at the same time shorting stocks that we feel will be disrupted by these secular trends.

 

To this end, the performance of the Fund was driven by our investments in companies that dominate their respective industries in Technology, (Alphabet, Nvidia and Coherent); Consumer, (Baidu, Yeti, and Amazon); and Health Care, (Halozyme, Penumbra, and Edwards Life Science).

 

The performance of the Fund on the short side was driven by our investments in companies that remain challenged in this environment. These include companies in the Technology sector, (Adobe and Duolingo); the Health Care sector, (Cigna); and Consumer sector (On Holdings).

 

We thank you for your support and look forward to continuing to serve our shareholders at the highest level.

1. ORGANIZATION

 

One Global ETF (“FFND”) and the Future Fund Long/Short ETF (“FFLS”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are each a non-diversified series of shares of beneficial interest 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. Each Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide capital appreciation. FFND commenced operations on August 23, 2021. FFLS commenced operations on June 20, 2023.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are each an investment company and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

 

Operating Segments – An operating segment is defined 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 Funds’ CODM is comprised of the portfolio manager 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 primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

 

Each Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not

16

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
May 31, 2026

 

readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Trusts’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Board has retained responsibility for fair value determinations, however, it delegated execution of the fair value procedures to a fair value committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) Adviser. The committee may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board has also engaged a third-party valuation firm to attend valuation meetings held by the Trust, review minutes of such meetings and report to the Board on a quarterly basis. The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.

 

Fair Valuation Process – As noted above, the fair value committee is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) adviser. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the adviser, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the adviser to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset values. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the adviser based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the adviser is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value committee shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure fair value of all of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes the hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the 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 May 31, 2026 for the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

* Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for industry classifications.

 

There were no level 3 holdings during the year.

 

Short Sales Risk – FFLS is subject to short sales risk. Short sales are transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does not own. The Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be higher or lower than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund. If the underlying security goes down in price between the time the Fund sells the security and buys it back, the Fund will realize a gain on the transaction. Conversely, if the underlying security goes up in price during the period, the Fund will realize a loss on the transaction.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

 

Withholding Tax Policy –The Funds are subject to foreign withholding tax imposed by certain foreign countries in which each Fund may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Funds may file withholding tax refunds in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds will record a receivable for such tax refunds based on several factors including; an assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, administrative practices and payment history.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually in December. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of

19

 

The Future Fund ETFs
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
May 31, 2026

 

net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date.

 

Federal Income Taxes – The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify each year as regulated investment companies (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and annually distributing substantially all net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the current tax year or on returns filed in previous tax years which are still open to examination by all major tax authorities (generally, federal returns are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing). The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations when incurred. During the fiscal year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds typically intend to annually distribute sufficient net investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains if any, so that they will not be subject to the excise tax on undistributed income of RICs. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed annually, the Funds could incur a tax expense.

 

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable (as determined by the Board), taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the fund in the Trust.

 

Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A 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 Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

The Future Fund, LLC (“Adviser”) serves as investment adviser to each of the Funds. Pursuant to an Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Funds, the Adviser, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Adviser, the Funds pay the Adviser a management fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% and 1.00% of average daily net assets for FFND and FFLS, respectively. For the year ended May 31, 2026, FFND and FFLS incurred $467,426 and $403,423 in advisory fees, respectively.

 

Effective as of May 1, 2025, the advisory fee for the FFND is 0.50% on the first $200,000,000 of net assets, 0.45% on net assets between $200,000,001 - $500,000,000, 0.40% on net assets between $500,000,001 - $1,000,000,000, and 0.35% on net assets $1,000,000,001 and over.

 

Pursuant to a written contract (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed, at least until September 30, 2026, to waive a portion of its advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse the Fund for other expenses to the extent necessary so that the total expenses incurred by each Fund (excluding any front-end or contingent deferred loads, brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), taxes and extraordinary or non-recurring expenses, including, but not limited to, litigation) do not exceed 1.00% for FFND and 1.24% for FFLS.

 

If the Adviser waives any fee or reimburses any expenses pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and any Fund’s operating expenses are subsequently lower than its respective expense limitation, the Adviser shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund provided that such reimbursement does not cause the Fund’s operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation. The Adviser is permitted to receive reimbursement from a Fund for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid, subject to the limitation that: (1) the reimbursement for fees and expenses will be made only if payable within three years from the date the fees and expenses were initially

21

 

The Future Fund ETFs
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
May 31, 2026

 

waived or reimbursed; and (2) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the expense limitation in effect at the time of the waiver or currently in effect, whichever is lower, to be exceeded. A Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Adviser is entitled to any reimbursement of management fees and/or expenses. This Operating Expense Limitation Agreement can be terminated only by, or with the consent, of the Board of Trustees.

 

For the year ended May 31, 2026, the Adviser recaptured $115,000 of previously waived fees in FFND and waived fees/reimbursed expenses of $174,822 in FFLS.

 

As of May 31, 2026, the following amounts previously waived by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Funds by the following dates:

 

    May 31, 2027     May 31, 2028     May 31, 2029     Total  
FFND   $ 214,887     $ 169,863     $     $ 384,750  
FFLS   $ 201,787     $ 155,301     $ 174,822     $ 531,910  

 

The Trust has entered into a Global Custody Agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the “Custodian”) to serve as custodian and to act as transfer and shareholder services agent.

 

Distributor– Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, (the “Distributor”), serves as the principal underwriter and national distributor for the shares of the Funds pursuant to an ETF Distribution Agreement with the Trust (the “Distribution Agreement”). The offerings of the Shares are continuous and the Distributor acts as an agent for the Trust.

 

The Funds do not pay the Distributor any fees under the Distribution Agreement. However, the Adviser pays an annual fee to the Distributor plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Distributor in connection with activities performed for the Funds, including, without limitation, printing and distribution of prospectuses and shareholder reports, out of its own resources.

 

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

 

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

 

The amounts due to UFS for administration and fund accounting services are listed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under “Payable to related parties” and the amounts accrued for the year are shown in the Statements of Operations under “Administrative service fees.”

 

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

22

 

The Future Fund ETFs
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
May 31, 2026

 

such agreement, NLCS receives customary fees from the Fund.

 

The amounts due to NLCS for chief compliance officer services are listed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under “Payable to related parties” and the amounts accrued for the year are shown in the Statements of Operations under “Compliance officer fees.”

 

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.

 

5. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

 

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

5/31/2026   Income     Capital Gains     Capital     Total  
FFND   $ 601,832     $     $     $ 601,832  
FFLS     2,503,952                   2,503,952

FFND   $     $     $     $  
FFLS     1,139,304                   1,139,304  

 

As of May 31, 2026, the components of accumulated earnings/ (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

    Undistributed     Undistributed     Post October Loss     Capital Loss     Other     Unrealized     Total  
    Ordinary     Long-Term     and     Carry     Book/Tax     Appreciation/     Accumulated

The difference between book basis and tax basis accumulated net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gains (losses), and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, and mark-to-market on open passive foreign investment companies. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency gains of $34.

8. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

 

The Funds adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements and modifies or eliminates certain existing disclosure provisions. The amendments in this ASU are intended to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information and to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Funds’ adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
