NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Timber Point Global Allocations Fund (the “Global Fund”), and the Timber Point Alternative Income Fund (the “Income Fund”) (collectively, the “Funds”) in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds are investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.
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 Adviser 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 most of its investments on a recurring basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Funds’ 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. |
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, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), mutual funds and closed-end funds (“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 – Money market funds are valued at their net asset value per share and are categorized as level 1.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Fair Value Measurements (continued)
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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 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.
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 evaluates 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 December 31, 2024.

Investment Companies – The Funds may invest in investment companies such as open-end funds (mutual funds), including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), closed-end funds (“CEFs”) and mutual funds (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.
Investments in Affiliated Companies
An affiliated company is a company in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the voting securities or of common management. Companies which are affiliates of the Fund at December 31, 2024, are noted in the Global Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The Income Fund is a mutual fund that is an affiliate because they are under common management of the Adviser.

Tax Matters
For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned, gross appreciation, gross depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments at December 31, 2024 were as follows:
Fund | | Cost | | | Gross Appreciation | | | Gross Depreciation | | | Net Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
Global Fund | | $ | 20,500,396 | | | $ | 1,209,522 | | | $ | (1,358,759 | ) | | $ | (149,237 | ) |
Income Fund | | | 21,864,802 | | | | 473,921 | | | | (311,378 | ) | | | 162,543 | |
The differences between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments are primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
