PERFORMANCE CHART AND ANALYSIS
AUGUST 31, 2015
 
The following chart reflects the change in the value of a hypothetical $1,000,000 investment in Institutional Shares, including reinvested dividends and distributions, in the NWS International Property Fund (the “Fund”) compared with the performance of the benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Ex-US Total Return Index ("Developed Ex-US"), since inception. The Developed Ex-US is an unmanaged subset of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index that incorporates Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Real Estate Holding & Development companies.The total return of the Developed Ex-US includes the reinvestment of dividends and income. The total return of the Fund includes operating expenses that reduce returns, while the total return of the Developed Ex-US does not include expenses. The Fund is professionally managed while the Developed Ex-US is unmanaged and is not available for investment.
 
 
Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. For the most recent month-end performance, please call (844) 218-5182. Shares redeemed or exchanged within 90 days of purchase will be charged a 1.50% redemption fee. As stated in the Fund’s current prospectus, the annual operating expense ratio (gross) is 1.64%. However, the Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses to limit total operating expenses to 1.00%, through at least June 27, 2016. During the period, certain fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed; otherwise, returns would have been lower. The Adviser may be reimbursed by the Fund for fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser pursuant to the expense cap if such payment (1) is made within three years of the fee waiver or expense reimbursement, (2) is approved by the Board and (3) does not cause the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement of a class to exceed the expense cap in place at the time the fees were waived.The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

NWS INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2015
 
Note 1. Organization
 
The NWS International Property Fund (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified portfolio of Forum Funds II (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust that is registered as an open-end, management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended. Under its Trust Instrument, the Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of the Fund’s shares of beneficial interest without par value. The Fund commenced operations on March 31, 2015. The Fund currently offers one class of shares: Institutional Shares. The Fund seeks to generate maximum total return through current income and capital appreciation by investing in real estate-related and equity-linked securities internationally.
 
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the fiscal period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
 
Security Valuation – Exchange-traded securities and over-the-counter securities are valued using the last quoted trade or official closing price, provided by independent pricing services as of the close of trading on the market or exchange for which they are primarily traded, on each Fund business day. In the absence of a sale, such securities are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price provided by independent pricing services. Non-exchange-traded securities for which quotations are available are valued using the last quoted sales price, or in the absence of a sale, at the mean of the last bid and ask prices provided by independent pricing services. Shares of open-end mutual funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”). Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost.
 
The Fund values its investments at fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") if (1) market quotations are insufficient or not readily available or (2) the adviser believes that the values available are unreliable. The Trust’s Valuation Committee, as defined in the Fund’s registration statement, performs certain functions as they relate to the administration and oversight of the Fund’s valuation procedures. Under these procedures, the Valuation Committee convenes on a regular and ad-hoc basis to review such investments and considers a number of factors, including valuation methodologies and significant unobservable inputs, when arriving at fair value.
 
The Valuation Committee may work with the adviser to provide valuation inputs. In determining fair valuations, inputs may include market-based analytics which may consider related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant investment information. Adviser inputs may include an income-based approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted in determining fair value. Discounts may also be applied based on the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. The Valuation Committee performs regular reviews of valuation methodologies, key inputs and assumptions, disposition analysis and market activity.
 
Fair valuation is based on subjective factors and, as a result, the fair value price of an investment may differ from the security’s market price and may not be the price at which the asset may be sold. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV determined by using market quotes.
 
The Fund has a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
 
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2015, for the Fund’s investments is included in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
 
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Realized Gain and Loss – Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

as possible after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Income and capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which are accrued as applicable. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premium is amortized and discount is accreted using the effective interest method. Identified cost of investments sold is used to determine the gain and loss for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
 
Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of net capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are based on amounts calculated in accordance with applicable federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due primarily to differing treatments of income and gain on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Fund.
 
Federal Taxes – The Fund intends to continue to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains, if any, the Fund will not be subject to a federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund will file a U.S. federal income and excise tax return as required. A fund’s federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. As of August 31, 2015, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure.
 
REITs – The Fund has made certain investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. The Fund may include the gross dividends from such REITs in income or may utilize estimates of any potential REIT dividend reclassifications in the Fund’s annual distributions to shareholders and, accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s distributions may be designated as a return of capital, require reclassification, or be under distributed on an excise basis and subject to excise tax.
 
Income and Expense Allocation – The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each of its investment portfolios. Expenses that are directly attributable to more than one investment portfolio are allocated among the respective investment portfolios in an equitable manner.
 
Redemption Fees – A shareholder who redeems or exchanges shares within 90 days of purchase will incur a redemption fee of 1.50% of the current net asset value of shares redeemed or exchanged, subject to certain limitations. The fee is charged for the benefit of the remaining shareholders and will be paid to the Fund to help offset transaction costs. The fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The Fund reserves the right to modify the terms of or terminate the fee at any time. There are limited exceptions to the imposition of the redemption fee.
 
Offering Costs – Offering costs for the Fund of $45,947 consisted of fees related to the mailing and printing of the initial prospectus, certain startup legal costs, and initial registration filings. Such costs are amortized over a twelve-month period beginning with the commencement of operations of the Fund.
 
Commitments and Contingencies – In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications by the Fund to the counterparty to the contract. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
 
Note 3. Fees and Expenses
 
Investment Adviser – Northwood Securities LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the Fund. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, the Adviser receives an advisory fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
 
Distribution – Foreside Fund Services, LLC serves as the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”). The Fund does not have a distribution (12b-1) plan; accordingly, the Distributor does not receive compensation from the Fund for its distribution (12b-1) services. The Adviser compensates the Distributor directly for its services. The Distributor is not affiliated with the Adviser or Atlantic Fund Administration, LLC (d/b/a Atlantic Fund Services) (“Atlantic”) or their affiliates.
 
Other Service Providers – Atlantic provides fund accounting, fund administration, compliance and transfer agency services to the

Atlantic provides a Principal Executive Officer, a Principal Financial Officer, a Chief Compliance Officer, and an Anti-Money Laundering Officer to the Fund, as well as certain additional compliance support functions.
 
Trustees and Officers – The Trust pays each Independent Trustee an annual fee of $16,000 ($21,000 for the Chairman) for service to the Trust. The Independent Trustees and Chairman may receive additional fees for special Board meetings. The Independent Trustees are also reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their duties as Trustees, including travel and related expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. The amount of Independent Trustees’ fees attributable to the Fund is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers or employees of the above named service providers, and during their terms of office received no compensation from the Fund.
 
Note 4. Expenses Reimbursed and Fees Waived
 
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse Fund expenses to limit total operating expenses (excluding all taxes, interest, portfolio transaction expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, proxy expenses and extraordinary expenses) to 1.00% through at least June 27, 2016. Other fund service providers have voluntarily agreed to waive and reimburse a portion of their fees. These voluntary fee waivers and reimbursements may be reduced or eliminated at any time. For the period ended August 31, 2015, fees waived and expenses reimbursed were as follows:

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
 
The Trust’s investment advisory agreements with its investment advisers must be approved for an initial term no greater than two years, and must be renewed at least annually thereafter by the vote of the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the agreements or “interested persons” of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”).
 
On March 26, 2015, the Trustees met in person, joined by representatives of the Adviser, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (“Independent Legal Counsel”), and others to consider information related to the approval of the investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser for the performance of investment advisory services to the Fund. A description of the Board’s conclusions in approving the agreement follows.

In preparation for its March meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (“March Meeting”), the Trustees were presented with a wide range of information to assist in their deliberations. Those materials included a copy of the proposed investment advisory agreement and other information regarding the fee arrangement. The Trustees also received a memorandum from Independent Legal Counsel concerning their responsibilities with respect to the approval of the investment advisory agreement, and met in executive session with Independent Legal Counsel while deliberating.

The Board also reviewed information provided by the Adviser concerning the following:

·  
The terms of the proposed investment advisory agreement, including the fees payable under the agreement, and the commitment of the Adviser to provide expense caps and fee waivers for the Fund;
·  
The manner in which the Fund’s shares would be distributed;
·  
The nature and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser, including information about the investment objective, policies and strategies applicable to the Fund;
·  
The personnel of the Adviser, including educational background, experience in the investment management industry, and the ability of the Adviser to retain qualified personnel;
·  
The proposed compliance program of the Adviser;
·  
The financial condition and stability of the Adviser;
·  
The potential for the Adviser to derive benefits that are ancillary to serving as an investment adviser to the Fund;
·  
The profitability of the Adviser from the advisory fee to be paid by the Fund, including information concerning the advisory fees of funds considered by the Adviser to be comparable.

At the March Meeting, the Trustees reviewed, evaluated, and discussed among themselves and with the Adviser and Independent Legal Counsel, among other things, the information referenced above. The Trustees also considered the overall reputation, capabilities, and commitment of the Adviser to provide high-quality service to the Fund. The Independent Trustees engaged in discussion and consideration amongst themselves, and with the Adviser and Independent Legal Counsel. The Trustees concluded that the nature and extent of the investment advisory services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund would be appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreement, including the amount of fees to be paid under the advisory agreement. At the March Meeting, the Board unanimously approved the investment advisory agreement. The Trustees agreed that no single factor was determinative of their decision to approve the investment advisory agreement.

A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to securities held in the Fund’s portfolio is available, without charge and upon request, by calling (844) 218-5182 and on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s proxy voting record for the period from the Fund’s commencement of operations to June 30 is available, without charge and upon request, by calling (844) 218-5182 and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
AUGUST 31, 2015
 
Shareholder Expense Example
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund, 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 from March 31, 2015, through August 31, 2015.
 
Actual Expenses – The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes – The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
