INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Timber Point Global Allocations Fund
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
The investment objective of the Timber Point Global Allocations Fund (the “Global Fund”) is to seek superior risk adjusted total returns by investing across a wide variety of global assets.
The Global Fund intends to achieve its investment objective by utilizing an asset allocation strategy to invest in a global portfolio of uncorrelated assets that can include exposure, through underlying vehicles, to common stocks and other investments. The Global Fund will invest primarily in common stocks of all issuers, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, closed-end funds, and private funds such as hedge funds, private equity funds, and fund-of-funds. The Global Fund, through underlying vehicles and securities in which it invests, may invest in non-U.S. companies (including those in emerging markets). The Global Fund may also invest directly in debt securities of any maturity or credit quality, including debt securities that are convertible into common or preferred stocks and high-yield bonds (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). High-yield bonds are securities rated at the time of purchase BB or Ba and below by credit rating agencies such as Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. The Global Fund actively trades portfolio positions and therefore has a high portfolio turnover rate.
The Global Fund may also engage in short sales for either hedging or speculative purposes. A short sale involves the sale of a security that the Global Fund does not own in the expectation of purchasing the same security (or a security exchangeable therefor) later and at a lower price and profiting from the price decline.
Capital growth is expected to be realized from an increase in portfolio positions. Under normal conditions, the Global Fund invests issuers located in at least five different countries, including the United States. Additionally, the Global Fund will normally invest between 40% and 70% of its total assets in foreign securities, including up to 15% of its total assets in securities of issuers located in emerging markets. Securities will be chosen using a proprietary fundamental investment process.
The Adviser may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions on behalf of the Global Fund with respect to the Global Fund’s equity investments, in order to hedge against changes in the U.S. dollar value of dividend income the Global Fund expects to receive in the future and that is denominated in foreign currencies, or in the U.S. dollar value of securities held by the Global Fund denominated in foreign currencies. There is no limit on the amount of foreign currency exchange transactions that the Adviser may enter into on behalf of the Global Fund.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Timber Point Alternative Income Fund
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
The investment objective of the Timber Point Alternative Income Fund (the “Income Fund”) is to seek superior risk adjusted returns by investing in income-oriented securities.
The Income Fund seeks to obtain its investment objective by allocating assets among credit-related instruments such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage and asset-backed securities, and floating-rate securities. The Income Fund is designed to generate more of its income and returns from assets with less yield-curve risk than traditional duration-sensitive bonds. The Income Fund may invest in debt securities of any maturity and any quality, including below-investment grade debt (also known as “junk bonds”). The Income Fund is actively traded and, therefore, will have a high portfolio turnover rate.
The Income Fund may also invest in equity securities including those of private funds, such as hedge funds and private equity funds, exchange-traded-notes (“ETNs”), exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds, and publicly traded and non-publicly traded business development companies (“BDCs”). Investments in illiquid private funds, including illiquid hedge funds and private equity funds, will be limited to no more than 15% of the Income Fund’s net assets. The Income Fund may invest in equity securities of any market capitalization. The Income Fund may invest without limitation in investments tied economically to any country in the world, including emerging market countries.

| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds are investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.
a) Security Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in note 3.
b) Short Sales – The Funds may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own or have the right to acquire (or that it owns but does not wish to deliver) in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline.
When Funds make a short sale, the broker-dealer through which the short sale is made must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the party purchasing the security. Funds are required to make a margin deposit in connection with such short sales; the Funds may have to pay a fee to borrow particular securities and will often be obligated to pay over any dividends and accrued interest on borrowed securities.
If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Funds cover their short positions, the Funds will incur a loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Funds will realize a capital gain. Any gain will be decreased, and any loss increased, by the transaction costs described above. The successful use of short selling may be adversely affected by imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the security sold short and the securities being hedged.
To the extent the Funds sell securities short, they will provide collateral to the broker-dealer and (except in the case of short sales "against the box") will maintain additional asset coverage in the form of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities with its custodian in a segregated account in an amount at least equal to the difference between the current market value of the securities sold short and any amounts required to be deposited as collateral with the selling broker (not including the proceeds of the short sale).
c) Investment Companies – The Funds may invest in investment companies such as open-end funds (mutual funds), exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end funds (“CEFs”) (also referred to as "Underlying Funds") subject to limitations as defined in the 1940 Act. Your cost of investing in the Funds will generally be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying Funds. By investing in the Funds, you will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the Funds’ direct fees and expenses. Also, with respect to dividends paid by the Underlying Funds, it is possible for these dividends to exceed the underlying investments' taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.
d) Federal Income Taxes – The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise tax provision is required.

| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
As of and during the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liability as income tax expense in the statements of operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Delaware state.
In addition, GAAP requires management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax jurisdictions and certain state tax jurisdictions. As of and during the six months ended March 31, 2024 and the years ended September 30, 2021 through September 30, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examinations in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
e) Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. GAAP requires that permanent financial reporting differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid-in capital or net realized gains. There were no reclassifications necessary during the six months ended March 31, 2024.
f) 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 during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g) Other – Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income and expenses are recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Processes and Structure
The Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted guidelines for valuing securities and other derivative instruments including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated authority to the Valuation Designee (as described below) to apply those guidelines in determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
| • | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or 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 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 that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available. |

| 3. | SECURITIES VALUATIONS (continued) |
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.
Fair Value Measurements
Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or that cannot be accurately valued using a fund's normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may be used, for example, in situations where (i) a portfolio security, such as a small-cap stock, is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that stock over an extended period of time or the validity of a market quotation received is questionable; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; (iii) trading of the particular portfolio security is halted; (iv) the security is a restricted security not registered under federal securities laws purchased through a private placement not eligible for resale; or (v) the security is purchased on a foreign exchange.
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Trust's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.
Equity securities (common stock, preferred stock, warrants, ETFs and CEFs) – Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and are categorized in level 2. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized in level 2.
Money market funds and mutual funds – Money market funds and mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share and are categorized as level 1.
Derivative instruments – Listed derivatives, including options, that are actively traded, are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Options held by the Funds for which no current quotations are readily available and which are not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean price and are categorized within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts include forward, swap, and option contracts related to interest rates; foreign currencies; credit standing of reference entities; equity prices; or commodity prices, and warrants on exchange-traded securities. Depending on the product and terms of the transaction, the fair value of the OTC derivative products can be modeled taking into account the counterparties' creditworthiness and using a series of techniques, including simulation models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies employed do not necessitate significant judgments, and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, as is the case of interest rate swap and option contracts. OTC derivative products valued using pricing models are categorized within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Security and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, which established an updated regulatory framework for registered investment company fair valuation practices. Under the new rule a greater number of the Funds’ securities may be subject to fair value pricing. The Funds’ fair value policies and procedures and valuation practices were updated to comply with Rule 2a-5. Specifically, the Board designated Timber Point Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) as the Funds’ “Valuation Designee” to make fair value determinations. The Adviser acts through its Rule 2a-5 Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) in accordance with the Trust’s and the Adviser’s policies and procedures (collectively, the “Valuation Procedures”). While fair value determinations will be based upon all available factors that the Valuation Designee deems relevant at the time of the determination, fair value represents only a good faith approximation of the value of an asset or liability.

| 3. | SECURITIES VALUATIONS (continued) |
The Funds’ policies regarding fair value pricing are intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects portfolio security values as of the time of pricing. A portfolio security’s fair value price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using a Fund’s normal pricing procedure, and may differ substantially from the price at which the portfolio security may ultimately be traded or sold. If such fair value price differs from the price that would have been determined using a Fund’s normal pricing procedures, a shareholder may receive more or less proceeds or shares from redemptions or purchases of Fund shares, respectively, than a shareholder would have otherwise received if the portfolio security was priced using a Fund’s normal pricing procedures. The performance of a Fund may also be affected if a portfolio security’s fair value price were to differ from the security’s price using a Fund’s normal pricing procedures.
Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board, the Valuation Designee reports all fair valued securities to the Board at least quarterly. The Board monitors and evaluate the Funds’ use of fair value pricing. These securities will be categorized as level 3 securities.
The following tables summarize the inputs used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2024.

| 7. | DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX MATTERS (continued) |
The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized loss, and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. In addition, the amount listed under other book/tax differences for the Income Fund is primarily attributable to unamortized organization expenses.
Capital losses incurred after October 31 and ordinary losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. At September 30, 2023, the Funds did not defer any capital or ordinary losses.
At September 30, 2023, the Funds had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as follows:
| | Non-Expiring Short-Term | | | Non-Expiring Long-Term | | | Total | |
Global Fund | | $ | 6,078,267 | | | $ | 1,117,877 | | | $ | 7,196,144 | |
Income Fund | | | 3,322,249 | | | | 112,603 | | | | 3,434,852 | |
During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Funds did not utilize any capital loss carryforwards.
Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to reclassifications of net investment losses to paid-in capital, resulted in reclassifications for the year ended September 30, 2023, as follows:
| | Paid-in Capital | | | Total Accumulated Losses | |
Global Fund | | $ | (61,529 | ) | | $ | 61,529 | |
Income Fund | | | — | | | | — | |
For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned, gross appreciation, gross depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments at March 31, 2024, were as follows:
| | Cost | | | Gross Appreciation | | | Gross Depreciation | | | Net Appreciation | |
Global Fund | | $ | 17,768,198 | | | $ | 1,826,378 | | | $ | (688,407 | ) | | $ | 1,137,971 | |
Income Fund | | | 14,137,223 | | | | 500,238 | | | | (180,671 | ) | | | 319,567 | |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of March 31, 2024, National Financial Services, LLC held 52.06% of the Global Fund’s shares and 69.45% of the Income Fund’s shares in omnibus accounts for the sole benefit of their customers. The Trust does not know whether any of the underlying beneficial shareholders of the omnibus accounts held by National Financial Services, LLC own more than 25% of the voting securities of the Funds.
| 9. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that may contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.
| 10. | RECENT AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
In accordance with GAAP, Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

| 11. | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND REGULATORY UPDATES |
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on the financial statements.
In December 2022, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update, ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”). ASU 2022-06 is an amendment to ASU 2020-04, which provided optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden due to the discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates and which was effective as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. ASU 2022-06 extends the effective period through December 31, 2024. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2022-06.
In October 2022, the SEC adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Funds to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023, with an 18-month transition period. Consequently, the Funds will begin complying with the new reporting requirements in the next shareholder report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. These new reports will provide shareholders with a more streamlined and accessible overview of the Funds’ performance, fees, and investment strategies, enhancing transparency with the goal of facilitating better investment decisions.
In September 2023, the SEC adopted a final rule relating to "Names Rule" under the 1940 Act. The amendments expanded the rule to require more funds to adopt an 80 percent investment policy, including funds with names suggesting a focus in investments with particular characteristics (e.g., growth or value) or with terms that reference a thematic investment focus (e.g., environmental, social, or governance factors). The amendments will require that a fund review its name for compliance with the rule. If needed, a fund may need to adopt an 80 percent investment policy and review its portfolio assets' treatment under such policy at least quarterly. The rule also requires additional prospectus disclosure and reporting and record keeping requirements. Depending on the size of the fund, the rule will take effect about 24 to 36 months after its publication date. For funds with less than $1 billion in net assets, such as the Funds, the compliance date is June 11, 2026. Management has evaluated the amendments and determined that they do not require the Funds to make changes to their name or investment strategies.

Information About Your Funds’ Expenses – (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The example below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses – The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses (relating to the example $1,000 investment made at the beginning of the period). You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes – The second section of the table provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

This operating expense limitation agreement can be terminated only by, or with the consent of, the Board of Trustees.
