NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at June 30, 2024

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

The Al Frank Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the "Trust"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Al Frank Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The Al Frank Fund Advisor Class commenced operations on April 30, 2006. Advisor Class Shares are offered at net asset value without the imposition of any sales charge. Effective at the close of business on April 7, 2022, all outstanding Investor Class shares of the Fund were converted to Advisor Class shares of the Fund and Investor Class shares of the Fund were no longer offered for sale to new investors. Investor Class shares had commenced operations on January 2, 1998.

NOTE 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 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies" including FASB Accounting Standard Update "ASU" 2013-08.

A.	Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

B.

Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund's policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes has been recorded.

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, 2020, to December 31, 2022 or expected to be taken in the Fund's December 31, 2023 year-end tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Ohio. 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.

C.

Security Transactions, Income and Distributions: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends are included in dividend income on the ex-dividend date at the fair market value of the shares received.

Investment income, expenses (other than those specific to the class of shares), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to the separate classes of the Fund's shares based upon their relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses, realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred. The Fund distributes substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax treatment.

Al Frank Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)

D.	Redemption Fees: The Fund charges a 2% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held for 60 days or less. Such fees are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Al Frank Fund assessed $66 in redemption fees.

E.

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 size of the fund in the Trust.

F.

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 risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

NOTE 3 - SECURITIES 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. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

The Fund may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities 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 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

Al Frank Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)

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

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

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

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

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 June 30, 2024 for the Fund's assets measured at fair value:

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Kovitz Investment Group Partners, LLC serves as the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser"). Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Fund (the "Advisory Agreement"), 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, the Fund pays the Adviser a management fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets ("Advisory Fees").

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Adviser earned $339,212 in Advisory Fees.

Pursuant to a written contract (the "Waiver Agreement"), the Adviser has agreed, at least until April 30, 2025, 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 the 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 expenses such as litigation) do not exceed 1.24% of the Fund's average net assets for Advisor Class shares. Any such reduction made by the Adviser in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Fund's obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, in subsequent fiscal years only if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) would not cause the Fund to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time of the waiver or currently in effect, whichever is lower. The Adviser is permitted to receive reimbursement from the Fund for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid only if reimbursement is made within three years from the date the fees and expenses were initially waived or reimbursed. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon the Board's review and approval at the time the reimbursement is made. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to the Fund's payment of current ordinary operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Adviser waived its fees in the amount of $81,049.

Cumulative expenses subject to recapture pursuant to the aforementioned conditions expire as follows:

	12/31/2024			12/31/2025			12/31/2026
	$	146,546			$	129,083			$	146,969

During the year ended December 31, 2023, $120,036 of previously waived fees expired unrecouped.

Distributor- The distributor for the Fund is Northern Lights Distributors LLC (the "Distributor") and acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund's shares. The Fund did not pay any fees for distribution related services.

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

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC ("UFS") - an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Fund pays UFS customary fees for providing administration, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the Fund.

Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC ("NLCS") - an affiliate of UFS and the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Trust.

		$	3,805,710			$	5,233,389

As of December 31, 2023, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed			Undistributed						Capital Loss			Other						Total
Ordinary			Long-Term			Post			Carry			Book/Tax			Unrealized			Accumulated
Income			Gains			October Loss			Forwards			Differences			Appreciation			Earnings
$	-			$	368,357			$	-			$	-			$	-			$	33,905,100			$	34,273,457

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain, and unrealized appreciation from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and C-Corporation return of capital distributions.

During the fiscal period ended December 31, 2023, the Fund 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, primary attributable to equalization credits, resulted in reclassifications for the Fund for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as follows:

Paid In			Distributable
Capital			Earnings
$	157,912			$	(157,912	)

FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE TRUSTEES IN THE APPROVAL OF A NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

At a meeting (the "Meeting") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Northern Lights Fund Trust II (the "Trust") held on May 23, 2023, the Board, including the disinterested Trustees (the "Independent Trustees"), considered the approval of the new investment advisory agreement between Kovitz Investment Group Partners, LLC ("Kovitz") and the Trust on behalf of the Al Frank Fund (the "New Advisory Agreement")

Based on their evaluation of the information provided by Kovitz, in conjunction with the Al Frank Fund's other service providers, the Board, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Independent Trustees), approved the New Advisory Agreement with respect to the Al Frank Fund.

In advance of the Meeting, the Board requested and received materials to assist them in considering the New Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including the New Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust's outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees' fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the New Advisory Agreement and comparative information relating to the advisory fee and other expenses of the Al Frank Fund. The materials also included due diligence materials relating to Kovitz (including due diligence questionnaires completed by Kovitz, select financial information of Kovitz, bibliographic information regarding Kovitz's key management and investment advisory personnel, and comparative fee information relating to the Fund) and other pertinent information. At the Meeting, the Independent Trustees were advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of fund management and met with such counsel separately from fund management.

The Board then reviewed and discussed the written materials that were provided in advance of the Meeting and deliberated on the approval of the New Advisory Agreement with respect to the Al Frank Fund. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the New Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the New Advisory Agreement. In considering the approval of the New Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.

Nature, Extent andQuality of the Services. The Board considered the Adviser's favorable attributes, including its investment philosophy, investment management capabilities, experienced leadership and reputation. The Board also considered: the capabilities, resources, and personnel of the Adviser, in order to determine whether the Adviser is capable of continuing to provide at least an equivalent level of investment management services currently provided to the Fund. The Board also reviewed information provided by Focus related to its business, legal and regulatory affairs. This review considered the resources available to the Adviser to provide the services specified under the New Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Board considered that all of the portfolio managers currently managing the Fund are expected to continue to do so following the Transaction.

Based on its review of materials prepared for the Meeting, the Board considered the experience and qualifications of the personnel of the Adviser who will be responsible for continuing to provide services to the Fund. The Board noted that none of the portfolio managers and other key investment personnel

Al Frank Fund

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION at June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)

managing the Fund are expected to change as a result of the Transaction, and that the investment process and day-to-day operations of the Fund were not expected to change.

The Board concluded that the Adviser will be capable of continuing to provide investment advisory services at least equivalent to the same high quality as the investment advisory services currently provided to the Fund.

Performance. The Board considered that all of the portfolio managers and other key investment personnel currently managing the Fund are expected to continue to do so following the Transaction. The Board discussed the report prepared by Broadridge and reviewed the performance as compared to its peer group, Morningstar category and benchmark for the one year, three year, five year and since inception periods ended April 30, 2023, for the Fund. The Board noted the Fund underperformed its peer group median, Morningstar category median, and benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the one year, three year, five year and since inception period. The Board further noted that the Fund's former Investor Class shares, which commenced operations in 1998, had a longer performance track record and with the longer history outperformed the S&P 500 Index for the period since 1998. After further discussion, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was acceptable and the Board would continue to monitor the performance of the Fund.

Fees and Expenses. The Board considered that the New Advisory Agreement is the same as the Existing Advisory Agreement, except for the effective and termination dates, and that the Fund's contractual fee rate will be identical for the Fund, for the initial two-year term of the New Advisory Agreement. The Board also noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to maintain the current operating expense limit pursuant to a new Fee Waiver Agreement (with identical terms to the existing Fee Waiver Agreement), which will remain in effect after the Closing Date until at least the end of the initial two-year term of the New Advisory Agreement, whereby it will waive a portion of its advisory fees so that the Fund does not exceed its operating expense limitation. The Board found such arrangements to be beneficial to shareholders. The Board also reviewed and discussed the advisory fee and total operating expenses of the Al Frank Fund as compared to its peer group and its Morningstar category as presented in the Broadridge Report. The Board noted that the 1.00% advisory fee was at the top of its peer group but not the highest in its Morningstar category. In light of these comparisons, the Board concluded that, based on the Adviser's experience, expertise and services provided to the Al Frank Fund, the advisory fee charged by the Adviser, although at the high end of the Al Frank Fund's peer group, was not unreasonable.

Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to the Adviser with respect to the Fund based on profitability reports and profitability analyses provided by the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the selected financial information provided by the Adviser regarding the Adviser and Focus. After review and discussion, the Board concluded that the anticipated profit from the Adviser's relationship with the Fund was not excessive relative to the experience of the Adviser and the nature and quality of the services performed by the Adviser. The Board considered the Adviser's representation that it anticipates profitability for the Adviser under the New Advisory Agreement to be similar to profitability for the Adviser during recent periods. The Board noted that it would have the opportunity to give further consideration to the Adviser's profitability with respect to the Fund at the end of the initial two-year term of the New Advisory Agreement.

Economies of Scale. As to the extent to which the Fund would realize economies of scale as it grows, and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of investors, the Board discussed the current size of the Fund and the Adviser's expectations for growth, and concluded that any material economies of scale would likely not be achieved in the near term.

Al Frank Fund

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION at June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)

Other Considerations. In approving the New Advisory Agreement, the Board considered that the Adviser will be making a commitment to the retention and recruitment of high quality personnel, and has undertaken to maintain the same level of financial, compliance and operational resources reasonably necessary to manage the Fund in a professional manner that is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and their Shareholders and that has previously been provided to the Fund. The Board also considered that the Adviser has undertaken to make a commitment to the management and success of the Fund, and to employ its resources in an effort to both maintain and grow the Fund by seeking out expanded distribution opportunities, where possible. The Board also considered that the Fund will continue to receive the benefit of the strong compliance culture and financial resources of Focus following the Transaction.

Conclusions. The Board relied upon the advice of counsel, and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the New Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. Accordingly, having requested and received such information from the Adviser as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the New Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees voting separately, determined that (a) the terms of the New Advisory Agreement are not unreasonable; (b) the investment advisory fee payable pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement is not unreasonable; and (c) the New Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Moreover, the Board noted that each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the New Advisory Agreement.
