How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

The Fund mirrored the sharp swings in growth stocks during the first half of the year. The Fund recovered in the second quarter, rising 6.92%, but ended the first half down 7.44%. The S&P 500 gained 15.20% in the second quarter after falling more than 4% in the first quarter, when conflict in the Middle East disrupted energy markets.

 

A June ceasefire and strong earnings from companies tied to artificial intelligence fueled the rebound. The Fund’s top performer, ASML Holding, whose lithography equipment is essential to manufacturing the advanced semiconductors powering artificial intelligence, rose 86% during the period. Krystal Biotech, a producer of genetic medicines, gained more than 50%.

 

The Fund has an overweight position in technology and healthcare. Within technology, results diverged sharply. Semiconductor-related holdings advanced, while software holdings, including ServiceNow, Atlassian, Shopify, and Adobe, declined amid investor concerns that artificial intelligence could disrupt traditional software business models. The Fund used this weakness to add to its position in ServiceNow in February.

 

Healthcare was again mixed, as the gain in Krystal Biotech was offset by declines in Intuitive Surgical, IDEXX Laboratories, and TransMedics. The Fund liquidated its position in Block, Inc., due to underperformance, and trimmed several large positions, including NVIDIA, to manage position sizes.

 

As we enter the second half of the year, the investment landscape has improved considerably from the first quarter’s turmoil. Easing geopolitical tensions, resilient corporate earnings, and continued investment in artificial intelligence are encouraging, though we remain mindful of the disruption AI may bring to parts of the market.

 

We remain confident that, by staying disciplined and patient, we can identify and capitalize on opportunities as they arise, while staying focused on our long-term investment strategy.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The Biondo Focus Fund (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 19, 2005. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund currently offers Investor Class shares.

 

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation, which it pursues by investing primarily in a combination of long and short positions in (1) common stock of US companies of any capitalization; (2) American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) representing common stock of foreign companies; (3) investment grade fixed income securities; (4) exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest primarily in (i) common stocks of US companies, (ii) ADRs or (iii) investment grade fixed income securities; and (5) options on common stock, ADRs and ETFs.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The 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 (“ASU”) 2013-08.

 

Segment Reporting – The Fund has adopted FASB ASU 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 the Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations. 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 CODM is comprised of the Fund’s portfolio managers and chief financial officer of the Trust. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund’s income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

Accounting Pronouncement – The Fund adopted the FASB ASU 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 ASU 2023-09 are intended to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information and to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Fund’s adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have an impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

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. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on the day of valuation. Options contracts listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the

7

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2026

 

current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Option contracts not listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which over-the-counter market quotations are not readily available shall be valued 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. 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”) using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and based on methods which include the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type. Short-term debt obligations with remaining maturities in excess of sixty days are valued at current market prices by an independent pricing service approved by the Board. 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 (“NAV”).

 

The Fund 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 the Fund’s calculation of its NAV. 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 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;

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(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 Fund utilizes 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 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 table summarizes the inputs used as of June 30, 2026 for the Fund’s investments measured at fair value:

 

Assets *   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Common Stocks   $ 39,044,850     $     $     $ 39,044,850  
Right                        
Short-Term Investment     3,653,172                   3,653,172  
Total   $ 42,698,022     $     $     $ 42,698,022  

 

Additional disclosures surrounding Level 3 investments were not significant to the financial statements.

 

* Refer to the Schedule of Investments for security classifications.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the 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.

The Biondo Focus Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2026

 

Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “underlying fund”). Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAV 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 by the methods established by the boards of the underlying fund. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the NAV per share. Investments in closed-end investment companies are valued at their last sales price. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Fund will not change.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income and distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund complies with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and distributes all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the 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 open tax years ended December 31, 2023, to December 31, 2025, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s December 31, 2026, year-end tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. The Fund is 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.

 

Options Transactions – The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against this risk.

 

The Fund may write call options only if it (i) owns an offsetting position in the underlying security or (ii) has an absolute or immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio.

 

When the 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, the Fund has 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.

The Biondo Focus Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2026

 

The Fund may purchase put and call options. Call options are purchased to hedge against an increase in the value of securities held in a Fund’s portfolio. If such an increase occurs, the call options will permit the Fund to purchase the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, not at the current market price. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in a 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 a 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 credit 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. At June 30, 2026, the Fund did not invest in option contracts.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Fund had a net realized gain of $770,912 and change in unrealized depreciation of $522,195 on written options subject to equity price risk. These realized gains and losses are included in the line items marked “Net realized gain on transactions from options written” and “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on options written” on the Statement of Operations.

 

The notional value of the derivative instruments outstanding as of June 30, 2026, as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the amounts of realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed in the Statement of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity.

 

Sector Risk – The value of securities from a specific sector can be more volatile than the market as a whole and may be subject to economic or regulatory risks different than the economy as a whole.

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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 Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

Biondo Investment Advisors, LLC serves as the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”). Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, the Advisor, 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 Advisor, the Fund pays the Advisor an investment advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Advisor earned fees of $234,853 for its service to the Fund.

 

Pursuant to a written contract (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has agreed, at least until April 30, 2027, to waive a portion of its advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund’s other expenses to the extent necessary so that the total expenses incurred by the Fund (excluding any front-end or contingent deferred loads; brokerage fees and commissions; acquired fund fees and expenses; fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); taxes; and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses (which may include indemnification of Fund officers and Trustees and contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the Advisor))) does not exceed 1.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This amount will herein be referred to as the “expense limitation.” For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Advisor waived fees in the amount of $65,277 for the Fund pursuant to the Waiver Agreement.

 

If the Advisor waives any fee or reimburses any expense pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and the Fund’s operating expenses are subsequently lower than its expense limitation, the Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund for such waived fees or reimbursed expenses provided that such reimbursement does not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the expense limitation. If operating expenses subsequently exceed the expense limitation, the reimbursements for the Fund shall be suspended. The Advisor may seek reimbursement only for expenses waived or paid by it during the three years or prior to such reimbursement; provided, however, that such expenses may only be reimbursed to the extent they were waived or paid after the date of the Waiver

Agreement (or any similar agreement). The Board may terminate this expense reimbursement arrangement at any time.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Advisor had $394,739 of waived expenses that may be recovered by the following dates:

 

December 31, 2026     December 31, 2027     December 31, 2028     Total  
$ 100,200     $ 159,434     $ 135,105     $ 394,739  

 

The Trust, with respect to the Fund, has adopted the Trust’s Master Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”) for Investor Class shares. The Plan provides that a monthly service fee is calculated by the Fund at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Investor Class shares for the Fund. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund may compensate the securities dealers or other financial intermediaries, financial institutions, investment advisors, and others for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders. The Plan further provides for periodic payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries, including insurance companies, for providing shareholder services and for promotional and other sales-related costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Fund was charged $58,713 pursuant to the Plan.

 

Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Distributor received no underwriting commissions.

The Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by National Financial Services LLC are also owned beneficially.
