CVR DYNAMIC ALLOCATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2017
 
 
Note 1. Organization
The CVR Dynamic Allocation Fund (the "Fund") is a a 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, as amended (the "Act"). 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 December 30, 2013. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Investor Shares. As of May 31, 2017, Investor Shares had not commenced operations. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation while preserving capital in declining markets.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies". 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 – Securities are valued at market prices using the last quoted trade or official closing price from the principal exchange where the security is traded, as provided by independent pricing services on each Fund business day. In the absence of a last trade, securities are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price provided by the pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at the day's settlement price on the exchange where the contract is traded. Forward currency contracts are generally valued based on interpolation of forward curve data points obtained from major banking institutions that deal in foreign currencies and currency dealers. Shares of non-exchange traded 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 not readily available or (2) the Adviser, as defined in Note 4, 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 that 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.
GAAP 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 May 31, 2017, for the Fund's investments is included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

CVR DYNAMIC ALLOCATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2017
 
 
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 as possible after determining 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.
Foreign Currency Translations – Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: (1) assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange at the end of the respective period; and (2) purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of such transactions. The portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates and the portion due to fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities are not isolated. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Foreign Currency Transactions – The Fund may enter into transactions to purchase or sell foreign currency contracts and options on foreign currency. Forward currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. A fund may use forward currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities, to manage a fund's foreign currency exposure and to protect the U.S. dollar value of its underlying portfolio securities against the effect of possible adverse movements in foreign exchange rates. These contracts are intrinsically valued daily based on forward rates, and a fund's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, is recorded as a component of NAV. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk, or both kinds of risks, in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates. Due to the risks associated with these transactions, a fund could incur losses up to the entire contract amount, which may exceed the net unrealized value included in its NAV.
The values of each individual forward currency contract outstanding as of May 31, 2017, are disclosed in the Fund's Notes to Schedule of Investments.
Futures Contracts – The Fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes, which may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the securities. A futures contract is an agreement between parties to buy or sell a security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, a fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. Government obligations or other high-quality debt securities equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the exchange on which the futures contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
Notional amounts of each individual futures contract outstanding as of May 31, 2017, for the Fund, are disclosed in the Notes to Schedule of Investments.
Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributions to shareholders of net capital gains and net foregin currency 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 Chapter 1, Subtitle A, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("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 files a U.S. federal income and excise tax return as required. The 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 May 31, 2017, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure.

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.
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. Cash – Concentration in Uninsured Account
For cash management purposes, the Fund may concentrate cash with the Fund's custodian. This typically results in cash balances exceeding the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. As of May 31, 2017, the Fund had $2,150,749 at MUFG Union Bank, N.A. that exceeded the FDIC insurance limit.
Note 4. Fees and Expenses
Investment Adviser – CVR Portfolio Funds LLC (the "Adviser") is the investment adviser to the Fund. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, the Adviser receives an advisory fee, payable monthly, from the Fund at an annual rate of 1.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser has employed a sub-adviser to manage a portion of the Fund's assets. The sub-advisory fee, calculated as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets managed by the sub-adviser, is paid by the Adviser.
Distribution – Foreside Fund Services, LLC serves as the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor"). The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Act. Under the Plan, the Fund may pay the Distributor and/or any other entity as authorized by the Board a fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets of Investor Shares for providing distribution and/or shareholder services to the Fund. 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 Fund. The fees related to these services are included in Fund services fees within the Statement of Operations. Atlantic also provides certain shareholder report production and EDGAR conversion and filing services. Pursuant to an Atlantic services agreement, the Fund pays Atlantic customary fees for its services. 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). 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 5. Expenses Reimbursed and Fees Waived
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding all taxes, interest, portfolio transaction expenses, proxy expenses and extraordinary expenses) to 1.65% for Institutional Shares through March 31, 2017. Other fund service providers have voluntarily agreed to waive and reimburse a portion of their fees. The contractual waivers may be changed or eliminated at any time with the consent of the Board and voluntary fee waivers and expense reimbursements may be reduced or eliminated at any time. For the period ended May 31, 2017, fees waived and expenses reimbursed were as follows:

The difference between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales and mark to market on section 988 currency contracts and section 1256 futures contracts.
For tax purposes, the prior year deferred late year ordinary loss was $123,829 (realized during the period January 1, 2016 through November 30, 2016). This loss was recognized for tax purposes on the first business day of the Fund's current fiscal year, December 1, 2016.
As of November 30, 2016, the Fund had $1,867,531 of available short-term capital loss carryforwards and $281,767 of available long-term capital loss carryforwards that have no expiration date.
Note 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. Compliance with the amendments to Regulation S-X is required for financial statements filed with the SEC on or after August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the amendments will have on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 10. Subsequent Events
Subsequent events occurring after the date of this report through the date these financial statements were issued have been evaluated for potential impact, and the Fund has had no such events.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
At the December 7, 2016 Board meeting (the "December meeting"), the Board, including the Independent Trustees, met in person and considered the approval of the continuance of the investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Trust pertaining to the Fund (the "Advisory Agreement") and the subadvisory agreement between the Adviser and ROW Asset Management (the "Subadviser") (the "Subadvisory Agreement"). In preparation for the December meeting, the Board was presented with a range of information to assist in its deliberations. The Board requested and reviewed written responses from the Adviser and Subadviser to a letter circulated on the Board's behalf concerning the personnel, operations, financial condition, performance, compensation, and services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Subadviser. During its deliberations, the Board received an oral presentation from the Adviser and discussed the materials with the Adviser, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees ("Independent Legal Counsel"), and, as necessary, with the Trust's administrator, Atlantic Fund Services. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session with Independent Legal Counsel while deliberating.
At the December meeting, the Board reviewed, among other matters, the topics discussed below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
Based on written materials received and the presentation from personnel of the Adviser regarding the operations of the Adviser and Subadviser, the Board considered the quality of services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement and by the Subadviser under the Subadvisory Agreement. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the experience, qualifications and professional background of the portfolio managers and other personnel at the Adviser and Subadviser with principal responsibility for the Fund's investments; the investment philosophy and decision-making process of the Adviser's and Subadviser's investment professionals; the quality of the Adviser's and Subadviser's services with respect to regulatory compliance; and the Adviser's and Subadviser's representations that each firm is in a stable financial condition to allow each firm to provide advisory services to the Fund. The Board also considered the Adviser's analysis of and recommendation to approve the continuance of the agreement with the Subadviser. The Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement and by the Subadviser under the Subadvisory Agreement.
Performance
The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund compared to its benchmark, and observed that the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index, for the one-year period ended September 30, 2016 and for the period since the Fund's inception in December of 2013. The Board also observed, however, that the Fund outperformed its secondary benchmark, the HFRX Equity Hedge Index, for the one-year period ended September 30, 2016 and for the period since the Fund's inception. The Board also observed that the Fund had outperformed both indices during the most recent calendar quarter and continued to experience superior returns during the months of October and November 2016.
The Board also considered the Fund's performance relative to an independent peer group of funds identified by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") believed to have characteristics similar to those of the Fund. The Board observed that the Fund underperformed the median of its Broadridge peer group for the one-year period ended September 30, 2016. The Board noted the Adviser's representation that the Adviser did not believe the Broadridge peers were the most optimal comparison from a performance standpoint because most of the Broadridge peers have low exposure to equity securities, whereas the Adviser manages the Fund with considerable exposure to equities. At the request of the Adviser, the Board also reviewed the Fund's performance compared to a group of funds identified by the Adviser and believed by the Adviser to represent a more meaningful comparison ("Comparable Funds"). The Board observed that, although the Fund underperformed the total return median of the Comparable Funds for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Fund outperformed the total return median of the Comparable Funds for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Board noted the Adviser's representation that the Comparable Funds, although suitable from a performance comparison standpoint, maintained well-established performance track records and significantly greater assets under management than the Fund, allowing the Comparable Funds to benefit from economies of scale in the form of reduced expenses.
Compensation
The Board evaluated the Adviser's compensation for providing advisory services to the Fund and analyzed comparative information on actual advisory fee rates and actual total expenses of the Fund's Broadridge peers. The Board noted that both the Adviser's actual advisory fee and actual total expenses were less than the median of the Broadridge peers. The Board recognized that the Adviser pays the Subadviser out of its advisory fee. In this regard, the Board observed that the Fund does not directly pay any subadvisory fees. The Board also recognized that the Adviser had contractually agreed and continued to contractually agree to waive fees or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to keep the total expenses of the Fund at lower levels. Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that the advisory fees paid to the Adviser by the Fund appeared to be reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Subadviser.

Cost of Services and Profitability
The Board considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the costs of services and its profitability with respect to the Fund. In this regard, the Board considered the Adviser's resources devoted to the Fund, as well as the Adviser's discussion of the aggregate costs and profitability of its mutual fund activity, including the percentage and amount of the Adviser's fee that the Adviser retained and the percentage and amount of the Adviser's fee that was paid to the Subadviser. Based on these and other applicable considerations, the Board concluded that the Adviser's profits attributable to management of the Fund did not appear unreasonably high in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser.
The Board did not consider information regarding the costs of services provided or profits realized by the Subadviser from its relationship with the Fund, noting instead the arms-length nature of the relationship between the Adviser and the Subadviser with respect to the negotiation of the subadvisory fee rate on behalf of the Fund and that the Adviser, and not the Fund, was responsible for paying the subadvisory fee due under the Subadvisory Agreement.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether the Fund would benefit from any economies of scale. In this respect, the Board noted the Adviser's representation that the Fund could benefit from economies of scale at higher asset levels, but that the Adviser had not identified economies of scale at current asset levels that would warrant proposing breakpoints in fees at this time. Based on the foregoing information, the Board concluded that economies of scale were not a factor in approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.
Other Benefits
The Board noted the Adviser's representation that, aside from its contractual advisory fees, it does not benefit in a material way from its relationship with the Fund. Based on the foregoing representation, the Board concluded that other benefits received by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund were not a factor in approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.
Conclusion
The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance, and different Trustees may have given different weight to different factors. In addition, various materials provided to and discussed with the Board throughout the year, including with respect to performance and compliance, also informed the Board's decision. In light of the fact that the Fund is a multi-manager Fund, however, for which the Adviser identifies a Subadviser whose strategy it seeks to combine to achieve the Fund's investment objective, when considering the renewal of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board gave significant weight to the Adviser's recommendation that the Subadvisory Agreement be renewed and to the Adviser's representation that the reappointment of the Subadviser would positively contribute to the Adviser's successful execution of the Fund's overall strategy. The Board reviewed a memorandum from Independent Legal Counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to its consideration of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement. Based on its review, including consideration of each of the factors referenced above, the Board, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (for Investor Shares only), 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.

ADDTIONAL INFORMATION
MAY 31, 2017
 
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2016, through May 31, 2017.
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. 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.
