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 the 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 Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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 primary exchange on the day of valuation. 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.
Valuation of Fund of Funds - The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies. Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Open-end funds 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 based upon methods established by the board of directors of the open-end funds.
52
THE PACIFIC FINANCIAL FUNDS |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
October 31, 2024 |
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 net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.
Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities. The Funds may purchase an ETF to gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
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 advisor 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.
Fair Valuation Process – 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 will 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 Funds 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 Funds 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.
Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of their 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 a 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 on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing a Funds own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
53
THE PACIFIC FINANCIAL FUNDS |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
October 31, 2024 |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2024 for each Funds investments measured at fair value:

The Funds did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 securities during the period.
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 under the effective interest method. 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 taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds understanding of the applicable countrys tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually by the Funds. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards) 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; and temporary differences do not require reclassification. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of each Fund.
Federal Income Tax – It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Each 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 each Funds tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions, taken on returns filed for open tax years ended April 30, 2021 through April 30, 2023, or expected to be taken in the Funds April 30, 2024 year-end tax returns. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio, and foreign jurisdictions where a Fund makes significant investments; however, 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. The Funds recognized interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and other expenses, respectively. For the year ended April 30, 2024, the Funds did not have any interest or penalties.
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. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

Effective May 1, 2020, The Pacific Financial Group, Inc. (TPFG), an affiliate of the Advisor, entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with the Trust (the Administrative Services Agreement). Under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, TPFG receives a fee from each Fund in an amount equal to 0.70% of the Funds average daily net assets. In exchange, TPFG is responsible for providing the following services and to pay for the following Fund expenses.
The Funds are used to construct Model Portfolios, consisting solely of the Funds, which are purchased by the Funds shareholders. The shareholders are investment management clients of TPFG and are typically introduced to TPFG by a Financial Intermediary. In most, but not all, instances, the shareholders are participants in a retirement plan, regulated by ERISA or by Internal Revenue Code, and the shareholders invest in the Model Portfolios through a self-directed brokerage account (SDBA) or a similar type of account made available by the retirement plan.
Among the services provided to shareholders, by TPFG, under the Administrative Services Agreement, are: (i) assistance in opening an account in which the shareholder will invest in a Model Portfolio; (ii) providing resources that enable the Financial Intermediary to assist the shareholder, in identifying the shareholders investment objective and risk profile; (iii) educating, and responding to questions from, shareholders, or from Financial Intermediaries acting on behalf of a shareholder, about the Funds and the Model Portfolios; (iv) trading Model Portfolios on behalf of shareholders, and reconciling those trades, typically with the custodian of a retirement plan; (v) maintaining records of investments in Model Portfolios, the performance of Model Portfolios, and contributions to, and withdrawals from, Model Portfolios, for shareholders and for their Financial Intermediaries; and (vi) assisting in account maintenance, account closings, and account transfers, for shareholders. All of these services are in addition to the services provided by other Fund Service Providers.
In addition to providing services, TPFG is responsible to make the following payments, on behalf of the Funds: (a) the fees and certain expenses incurred in connection with the provision of Fund Administration, Fund Accounting and Fund Transfer Agent Services; (b) the fees and certain expenses of the Funds Custodian; (c) the fees charged by retirement plan or other custodians that maintain SDBAs or other brokerage accounts for Fund shareholders; (d) the charges and expenses of legal counsel and independent accountants for the Funds; (e) the fees and expenses of Trustees who are not affiliated persons of the Advisor or Distributor; (f) the fees of the Funds participation in any trade association of which the Trust may be a member; (g) the cost of fidelity and liability insurance; (h) the fees and expenses involved in maintaining registration of the Fund and of the Funds shares with the SEC, maintaining qualification of the Funds shares under state securities laws, and the preparation and printing of the Funds registration statements and prospectuses for such purposes; (i) expenses of shareholders and Trustees meetings; and (j) expenses of preparing, printing and mailing reports, proxy statements and prospectuses to shareholders in the amount necessary for distribution to shareholders (collectively, Fund Operating Expenses).

TPFGs role with respect to paying Fund Operating Expenses shall be as the paying agent, without responsibility (under the Administrative Services Agreement) for the manner of performance by the Funds service providers.
The Administrative Services Agreement will continue in effect for one (1) year and thereafter shall continue from year to year provided such continuance is approved at least annually by a vote of the majority of the Trustees. The Servicing Administration Agreement may be terminated without penalty on 60 days written notice by a vote of a majority of the Trustees or by the TPFG, or by holders of a majority of that Trusts outstanding shares.

For the Distributor, such services and expenses include overhead and telephone expenses; printing and distribution of prospectuses and reports used in connection with the offering of the Funds shares to other than current shareholders; and preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature and advertising materials.

The Pacific Financial Group, LLC – Advisor to the following funds:
PFG Global Equity Index Strategy Fund (PFG Global Equity)
PFG US Equity Index Strategy Fund (PFG US Equity)
(each the Fund and collectively the New PFG Funds) *
In connection with the regular meeting held on January 22, 2024 of the Board of Trustees (the Trustees or the Board) of the Northern Lights Fund Trust (the Trust), including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the approval of an investment Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) between The Pacific Financial Group, LLC (PFG or Advisor) and the Trust, with respect to the New PFG Funds. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Advisory Agreement.
The Trustees were assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the Advisory Agreement review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Board noted that the contemplated advisor, PFG, was founded in 1984, had over $2.8 billion in assets under management (AUM), and provided money management services and investment solutions involving model portfolios structured for retirement plan participants and customized to such participants goals and risk profiles. The Board reviewed the background information of the key personnel that would be responsible for servicing the New PFG Funds and expressed satisfaction at the education and financial industry experience of the team. The Board considered PFGs strategy, which involved identifying a well- established institutional asset manager (the Strategist) for a Fund, and performing ongoing due diligence on the Strategists research, investment style, and performance using analytics and external research services to ensure conformity with such Funds investment strategy. The Board also discussed PFGs risk management program, including the use of analytical software and the advice of a third- party firm, PFGs best-execution criteria for broker-dealer selection, and PFGs institutional resources regarding marketing and cybersecurity. The Board concluded that PFG had sufficient resources to provide quality service to the New PFG Funds for the benefit of their respective shareholders.
Performance. The Board noted that, as none of the New PFG Funds had commenced operations, there was no performance data for the New PFG Funds. The Board reviewed the performance of a mutual fund currently managed by the Advisor as information relevant to the prospects for the PFG Global Equity and PFG US Equity. The Board also considered the performance of the other funds in the Trust managed by the Advisor. The Board concluded that the New PFG Funds have an opportunity to deliver reasonable returns to shareholders.
Fees and Expenses.
PFG Global Equity. The Board observed that PFG proposed to charge a 1.25% annual advisory fee with respect to PFG Global Equity, noting that such advisory fee was in the 86th percentile of the Funds category. They further observed that the Fund would have a net expense ratio of 1.99%, and that such net expense ratio was in the 86th percentile of the Funds category. The Board noted that PFG estimated the Fund would incur 0.09% annually in acquired fund fees and expenses (AFFE).
PFG US Equity. The Board observed that PFG proposed to charge a 1.25% annual advisory fee with respect to PFG US Equity, noting that such advisory fee was in the 79th percentile of the Funds category. They further observed that the Fund would have a net expense ratio of 1.99%, and that such net expense ratio was in the 86th percentile of the Funds category. The Board noted that PFG estimated the Fund would incur 0.09% annually in AFFE.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)(Continued) |
October 31, 2024 |
With regards to each of the New PFG Funds, the Board observed that each Fund had agreed to an expense limitation capping each Funds net expenses at 1.99% and a breakpoint in place with regards to the proposed advisory fee to be charged to the Fund. The Board considered PFGs statement that PFGs strategy of allocating the New PFG Funds investments to unaffiliated funds, rather than affiliated funds, would ultimately benefit the shareholders of the New PFG Funds by providing a differentiated investment opportunity to shareholders. The Board discussed the services provided to shareholders by PFG related to asset allocation and risk assessment. The Board agreed that the proposed fees were not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered that, as none of the New PFG Funds had commenced operations, PFG had not achieved economies of scale with respect to the New PFG Funds. The Board noted, however, that PFG had proactively proposed breakpoints based on the total assets across all Funds advised by PFG, the New PFG Funds would be included in such arrangement, and PFG had previously expressed openness to instituting further breakpoints.
Profitability. The Board noted that, as none of the New PFG Funds had commenced operations, there was profitability information data with respect to the New PFG Funds. The Board considered that, as set forth in the pro-forma profit spreadsheet included among the meeting materials, PFG projected modest profitability with respect to its relationship to each of the New PFG Funds. The Board concluded that PFGs profit would not be excessive.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from PFG as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded that the approval of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the New PFG Funds was in the best interests of the New PFG Funds and their shareholders.
* | Due to the timing of the contract approval schedule, these deliberations may or may not relate to the current performance results of the New PFG Funds. |
