Dear

Shareholders:

As

of

June

30,

2023,

the

Acuitas

U.S.

Microcap

Fund’s

(the

“Fund”)

net

asset

value

was

$12.37

per

share

with

total

net

assets

at

$62.9

million.

Over

the

past

year,

the

Fund

returned

14.04%,

compared

to

6.63%

for

the

Russell

Microcap

Index

(the

“Benchmark”).

This

represents

7.41%

of

outperformance.

The

Fund

is

ahead

of

the

Benchmark

over

the

longer

term

3-

and

5-year

time

periods

as

well,

outperforming

by

an

annualized

8.64%

and

3.09%

rate,

respectively.

Since

the

July

18,

2014,

inception,

the

Fund

has

returned

an

annualized

7.93%,

outperforming

the

Benchmark

return

of

6.02%

by

1.91%

over

the

same

time

period.

Performance

data

quoted

represents

past

performance,

which

does

not

guarantee

future

results.

Investment

return

and

principal

value

will

fluctuate,

so

that

an

investor’s

shares,

when

redeemed,

may

be

worth

more

or

less

than

their

original

cost;

and

the

current

performance

may

be

lower

or

higher

than

the

performance

quoted.

U.S.

equities

wrapped

up

one

of

the

best

first

halves

to

a

year

in

the

past

few

decades,

with

the

Russell

3000

returning

+16.17%,

the

fourth

best

start

in

nearly

three

decades.

Additionally,

the

Fund

had

a

strong

start

to

the

year,

returning

8.80%

compared

to

2.32%

for

the

Benchmark,

representing

648

basis

points

of

outperformance

to

start

2023.

This

time

last

year,

we

noted

how

every

market

cap

tier

within

U.S.

equities

was

in

bear

market

territory,

and

the

S&P

500

had

just

experienced

the

worst

start

to

a

year

in

50

years.

While

there

is

certainly

more

green

on

the

screen

for

investors’

portfolios

now

than

there

was

just

12

months

ago,

many

significant

items

driving

markets

today

are

eerily

similar

to

this

time

last

year.

Inflation

remains

elevated,

expectations

around

rate

hikes

from

the

Federal

Reserve

continue

to

drive

market

volatility,

and

the

war

in

Ukraine

continues

with

no

end

in

sight.

Uncertainty

remains

seemingly

everywhere,

with

good

news

often

becoming

bad

news

for

markets.

ADP

employment

figures

for

June

showed

a

stunning

497,000

private

sector

hires,

nearly

doubling

the

figures

for

May

and

well

ahead

of

the

220,000

that

was

expected.

Naturally,

markets

sold

off

on

the

news,

as

positive

data

points

imply

that

the

Fed’s

aggressive

rate

hikes

are

expected

to

continue.

This

strong

jobs

report

followed

stronger

than

expected

labor

market

data

earlier

in

the

quarter

as

well.

The

combination

of

low

unemployment,

strong

job

growth,

and

increased

wage

growth

(up

nearly

5%

year-over-year)

point

to

signs

that

the

U.S.

might

dodge

a

recession

after

all

(depending

on

your

definition

of

“recession”).

The

Fed

remains

in

an

unenviable

position

―

the

need

to

find

the

right

balance

of

taming

inflation

towards

their

long

term

2%

target

while

also

avoiding

crushing

employment.

While

they

did

pause

rate

hikes

in

June,

they

resumed

with

another

hike

in

the

third

quarter,

with

another

hike

remaining

a

possibility

before

year

end.

Where

the

economy

eventually

lands

and

the

trajectory

of

that

landing

remains

the

most

pressing

question

for

investors,

which

is

right

where

we

were

last

year.

The

collapse

of

Silicon

Valley

Bank,

First

Republic

Bank,

and

Signature

Bank

earlier

this

year

blindsided

investors

and

led

to

widespread

worries

that

we

were

seeing

early

signs

of

another

financial

crisis.

As

we

enter

the

third

quarter,

the

banking

system

is

largely

seen

as

out

of

trouble

for

now,

and

many

of

our

managers

are

digging

through

the

rubble

and

finding

attractive

new

stock

ideas.

Broadly

speaking

the

narrative

has

improved

dramatically

from

just

a

few

short

months

ago,

and

most

potential

tightening

in

business

conditions

as

a

direct

result

of

this

“bank

crisis”

appears

to

have

been

avoided.

At

the

center

of

this

are

signs

of

stabilization

across

deposits,

with

fears

of

continued

deposit

flight

issues

easing.

Concerns

do

remain

in

a

few

areas,

particularly

in

banks

with

greater

exposure

to

commercial

real

estate,

however

even

that

is

hit

or

miss.

The

devil

is

always

in

the

details,

and

while

downtown

hubs

in

major

cities

continue

to

struggle,

diversified

real

estate

portfolios

with

less

direct

exposure

to

business

district

office

space

have

a

greater

chance

of

weathering

the

storm.

As

one

manager

we

think

particularly

highly

of

put

it:

“some

central

business

districts

are

struggling

and

will

undoubtedly

see

an

uptick

in

non-performing

loans,

but

we

struggle

to

see

how

a

suburban

dentist

will

go

out

of

business

anytime

soon.”

Additionally,

there

are

signs

that

office

space

vacancy

issues

are

concentrated

across

a

few

properties,

while

other

individual

buildings

–

typically

newer,

“class

A”

type

properties

–

are

operating

near

pre-pandemic

vacancy

levels.

The

actual

commercial

real

estate

exposure

will

naturally

vary

bank

by

bank,

which

presents

unique

opportunities

for

active

managers

to

add

value

in

the

space

as

they

can

avoid

those

with

more

risk

in

their

loan

books

and

lean

into

banks

that

are

in

a

position

of

competitive

strength.

Along

these

lines,

it

is

important

to

highlight

that

the

Fund

had

no

exposure

to

the

banks

that

failed

earlier

this

year.

In

fact,

financials

added

the

most

value

of

any

sector

for

the

Fund

relative

to

the

Benchmark,

accounting

for

more

than

one

third

of

the

Fund’s

outperformance

over

the

last

twelve

months.

Industrials

was

the

other

sector

that

added

meaningful

excess

returns

for

the

Fund.

On

an

absolute

basis,

industrials

was

the

top

performing

sector

across

all

of

microcap

for

the

past

12

months,

advancing

nearly

24%.

Strong

stock

selection

across

our

portfolio

along

with

an

overweight

to

the

sector

drove

the

Fund’s

outperformance

in

the

space.

Health

care

has

also

performed

very

well

over

the

past

12

months,

and

especially

in

the

most

recent

quarter

leading

into

6/30/2023.

This

recent

surge

in

health

care

and

stocks

within

the

Microcap

Index

performing

during

the

2nd

quarter

of

2023,

as

have

lower

quality

(low

ROE),

non-earners,

and

higher

momentum

names.

Given

the

nature

of

the

leadership

within

microcap,

we

would

generally

characterize

the

last

few

months

as

a

difficult

market

environment

for

our

strategy.

Despite

the

difficult

active

environment,

strong

stock

picking

across

our

managers

was

able

to

soften

the

blow

from

these

headwinds

and

help

the

Fund

stay

within

earshot

of

the

Benchmark

(4.92%

return

for

the

Fund

in

the

second

quarter

vs

5.29%

for

the

Benchmark)

and

remain

well

ahead

of

the

Benchmark

year-to-

date

in

2023.

As

of

June

the

Fund’s

sector

allocations

were:

As

of

June

30,

2023,

the

10

largest

stock

positions

in

the

Fund

were:

Market

volatility

remains

and

we

do

not

expect

that

to

abate

in

the

near

term.

Volatility

naturally

leads

to

a

healthy

stock

picking

environment,

as

stock

prices

are

often

disconnected

from

their

fundamentals.

On

the

other

side

of

the

coin,

by

simply

avoiding

the

riskiest

stocks

during

these

markets,

active

managers

add

additional

value.

The

perfect

example

of

this

is

the

Fund’s

lack

of

exposure

to

the

banks

at

the

center

of

the

banking

crisis,

which

we

attribute

to

insightful

due

diligence

from

our

managers.

There

are

a

few

other

catalysts

in

place

that

we

are

excited

about.

There

is

still

a

pile

of

cash

sitting

on

the

sidelines

waiting

to

be

deployed

by

private

equity

funds

that

could

purchase

our

microcap

holdings

at

strong

premiums.

We

have

seen

a

healthy

level

of

mergers

and

acquisitions

(“M&A”)

activity

so

far

this

year,

and

we

expect

it

to

continue.

Health

care

has

been

a

hot

spot

for

“M&A”

to

start

the

year,

and

we

wouldn’t

be

surprised

to

see

an

uptick

in

activity

in

other

areas

of

the

market.

As

we

have

written

about

in

the

past,

microcap

stocks

are

taken

out

far

more

frequently

than

stocks

in

other

areas

of

the

market

and

at

meaningfully

higher

premiums.

The

Fed’s

tightening

cycle

was

put

on

“pause”

earlier

this

year,

and

we

share

the

consensus

view

that

we

are

in

the

later

innings

of

their

hiking

cycle.

This

seems

to

have

placed

a

floor

on

the

market,

reducing

some

near-term

downside

risk.

Conversely,

we

still

think

we

are

in

the

early

innings

for

an

improved

active

environment

due

to

higher

interest

rates

and

less

broad

support

for

non-earning

secular

growth

stories.

Finally,

microcap

has

far

more

leverage

to

the

U.S.

economy

than

large

cap

due

to

less

reliance

on

global

revenue

streams.

In

summary,

we

believe

the

cyclical

catalysts

in

place

alongside

the

attractive

relative

valuations

continue

to

provide

an

opportune

time

for

microcap

exposure.

Summary

of

Significant

Accounting

Policies

The

Fund

is

an

investment

company

and

follows

accounting

and

reporting

guidance

under

Financial

Accounting

Standards

Board

Accounting

Standards

Codification

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

year.

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.

Exchange-traded

options

for

which

the

last

quoted

sale

price

is

outside

the

closing

bid

and

ask

price

will

be

valued

at

the

mean

of

the

closing

bid

and

ask

price.

Shares

of

non-exchange

traded

open-end

mutual

funds

are

valued

at

net

asset

value

(“NAV”).

Short-term

investments

that

mature

in

sixty

days

or

less

may

be

valued

at

amortized

cost.

Pursuant

to

Rule

2a-5

under

the

Investment

Company

Act,

the

Trust’s

Board

of

Trustees

(the

“Board”)

has

designated

the

Adviser,

as

defined

in

Note

3,

as

the

Fund’s

valuation

designee

to

perform

any

fair

value

determinations

for

securities

and

other

assets

held

by

the

Fund.

The

Adviser

is

subject

to

the

oversight

of

the

Board

and

certain

reporting

and

other

requirements

intended

to

provide

the

Board

the

information

needed

to

oversee

the

Adviser’s

fair

value

determinations.

The

Adviser

is

responsible

for

determining

the

fair

value

of

investments

for

which

market

quotations

are

not

readily

available

in

accordance

with

policies

and

procedures

that

have

been

approved

by

the

Board.

Under

these

procedures,

the

Adviser

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

Board

has

approved

the

Adviser’s

fair

valuation

procedures

as

a

part

of

the

Fund’s

compliance

program

and

will

review

any

changes

made

to

the

procedures.

The

Adviser

provides

fair

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

Adviser

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

listed

below:

–

Investment

for

both

Futures

Contracts

–

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

June

30,

2023,

for

the

Fund,

are

disclosed

in

the

Schedule

of

Investments.

Distributions

to

Shareholders

–

The

Fund

declares

any

dividends

from

net

investment

income

and

pays

them

annually.

Any

net

capital

gains

realized

by

the

Fund

are

distributed

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

recognizes

interest

and

penalties,

if

any,

related

to

unrecognized

tax

benefits

as

income

tax

expense

in

the

Statement

of

Operations.

During

the

year,

the

Fund

did

not

incur

any

interest

penalties.

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

June

30,

2023,

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.

Redemption

Fees

–

A

shareholder

who

redeems

or

exchanges

shares

within

60

days

of

purchase

will

incur

a

redemption

fee

of

1.00%

of

the

current

NAV

of

shares

redeemed

or

exchanged,

subject

to

certain

limitations.

The

fee

is

charged

for

the

benefit

the

remaining

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

fee.

Redemption

incurred

for

if

any,

are

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.

The

Fund

has

determined

that

none

of

these

arrangements

requires

disclosure

on

the

Fund’s

balance

sheet.

on

those

statements

and

financial

highlights.

Basis

for

Opinion

These

financial

statements

are

the

responsibility

of

the

Fund’s

management.

Our

responsibility

is

to

express

an

opinion

on

the

Fund’s

financial

statements

based

on

our

audit.

We

are

a

public

accounting

firm

registered

with

the

Public

Company

Accounting

Oversight

Board

(United

States)

(“PCAOB”)

and

are

required

to

be

independent

with

respect

to

the

Fund

in

accordance

with

the

U.S.

federal

securities

laws

and

the

applicable

rules

and

regulations

of

the

Securities

and

Exchange

Commission

and

the

PCAOB.

We

conducted

our

audit

in

accordance

with

the

standards

of

the

PCAOB.

Those

standards

require

that

we

plan

and

perform

the

audit

to

obtain

reasonable

assurance

about

whether

the

financial

statements

are

free

of

material

misstatement

whether

due

to

error

or

fraud.

Our

audit

included

performing

procedures

to

assess

the

risks

of

material

misstatement

of

the

financial

statements,

whether

due

to

error

or

fraud,

and

performing

procedures

that

respond

to

those

risks.

Such

procedures

included

examining,

on

a

test

basis,

evidence

regarding

the

amounts

and

disclosures

in

the

financial

statements.

Our

procedures

included

confirmation

of

securities

owned

as

of

June

30,

2023,

by

correspondence

with

the

custodian

and

brokers;

when

replies

were

not

received

from

brokers,

we

performed

other

auditing

procedures.

Our

audit

also

included

evaluating

the

accounting

principles

used

and

significant

estimates

made

by

management,

as

well

as

evaluating

the

overall

presentation

of

the

financial

statements.

We

believe

that

our

audit

provides

a

reasonable

basis

for

our

opinion.

We

have

served

as

auditor

since

Microcap

Fund

(“Microcap

Fund”)

(the

“Fund”)

At

the

June

9,

2023

Board

meeting

(the

“June

meeting”),

the

Board,

including

the

Independent

Trustees,

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

agreements

between

the

Adviser

and

each

of

AltraVue

Capital,

LLC;

ClariVest

Asset

Management,

LLC;

Granahan

Investment

Management,

Inc.;

and

Tieton

Capital

Management,

LLC

(each

a

“Subadviser”)

(the

“Subadvisory

Agreements”).

In

preparation

for

the

June

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

each

Subadviser

to

a

letter

circulated

on

the

Board’s

behalf

concerning

the

personnel,

operations,

financial

condition,

performance,

and

services

provided

to

the

Fund

by

the

Adviser

and

each

of

the

Subadvisers.

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.

The

Independent

Trustees

also

met

in

executive

session

with

Independent

Legal

Counsel

while

deliberating.

At

the

June

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

senior

representatives

of

the

Adviser

regarding

the

personnel,

operations,

and

financial

condition

of

the

Adviser

and

each

Subadviser,

the

Board

considered

the

quality

of

services

provided

by

the

Adviser

under

the

Advisory

Agreement

and

by

each

Subadviser

under

the

respective

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

each

Subadviser

with

principal

responsibility

for

the

Fund’s

investments;

the

investment

philosophy

and

decision-making

process

of

the

Adviser’s

and

Subadvisers’

investment

professionals;

the

quality

of

the

Adviser’s

and

Subadvisers’

services

with

respect

to

regulatory

compliance;

and

the

Adviser’s

and

each

Subadviser’s

representations

that

each

firm

is

in

stable

financial

condition

to

allow

each

firm

to

provide

quality

advisory

services

to

the

Fund.

The

Board

also

considered

the

Adviser’s

analysis

of

and

recommendation

to

approve

the

continuance

of

the

Subadvisory

Agreements

with

the

Subadvisers.

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

each

Subadviser

under

the

respective

Subadvisory

Agreements.

Performance

In

connection

with

a

presentation

by

the

Adviser

regarding

its

approach

to

managing

the

Fund,

including

the

investment

objective

and

strategy

of

the

Fund

and

the

Adviser’s

discussion

of

the

performance

of

each

of

the

Subadvisers,

the

Board

reviewed

the

performance

of

the

Fund

compared

to

its

primary

benchmark.

The

Board

observed

that

the

Fund

outperformed

its

primary

benchmark

index,

the

Russell

Microcap

Index,

for

the

one-,

three-,

and

five-year

periods

ended

March

31,

2023,

and

for

the

period

since

the

Fund’s

inception

on

July

18,

2014.

The

Board

also

considered

the

Fund’s

performance

relative

to

an

independent

peer

group

of

funds

identified

by

Strategic

Insight,

Inc.

(“Strategic

Insight”)

believed

to

have

characteristics

similar

to

those

of

the

Fund.

Based

on

information

presented

by

Strategic

Insight,

the

Board

observed

that

the

Fund

underperformed

the

average

of

the

Strategic

Insight

peers

for

the

one-year

period

ended

March

31,

2023

and

outperformed

the

average

of

the

Strategic

Insight

peers

for

the

three-,

and

five-year

periods

ended

March

31,

2023.

The

Board

noted

the

Adviser’s

representation

that

the

Fund’s

relative

performance

could

be

attributed,

in

part,

to

the

Fund’s

stock

selection

and

bias

toward

high

quality

companies.

The

Board

also

noted

the

Adviser’s

representation

that

the

Strategic

Insight

peer

group

was

not

an

optimal

representation

of

the

Fund’s

investment

strategy

from

a

performance

comparison

standpoint

because

many

of

the

funds

within

the

Strategic

Insight

peer

group

operate

within

the

small

cap

universe,

whereas

the

Fund

places

a

larger

emphasis

on

microcap

investments,

which

tend

to

have

higher

beta

than

small

cap

companies

and,

as

a

result,

tend

to

lag

the

performance

of

small

cap

companies

during

bear

markets

such

as

the

market

environment

experienced

during

2022.

At

the

request

of

the

Adviser,

the

Board

reviewed

performance

of

the

Fund

compared

to

the

performance

of

a

peer

group

of

funds

identified

by

the

Adviser

as

being

a

more

optimal

comparison

to

the

Fund

(the

“Comparable

Funds”).

The

Board

observed

that

the

Fund

outperformed

the

average

of

the

Comparable

Funds

for

the

one-,

three-,

and

five-year

periods

ended

March

31,

2023.

The

Board

also

evaluated

the

Adviser's

assessment

of

each

Subadviser’s

performance.

The

Board

acknowledged

the

Adviser’s

representation

that

the

different

Subadvisers

could

be

expected

to

achieve

different

performance

results

in

light

of

the

differences

in

their

strategies,

allocated

assets,

and

market

environment.

In

this

regard,

the

Board

noted

that

the

Adviser

emphasized

its

responsibility

for

allocating

the

Fund’s

assets

among

Subadvisers

on

an

ongoing

basis

in

order

to

achieve

the

Fund’s

investment

objective.

In

view

of

the

respective

roles

of

the

Adviser

and

Subadvisers,

the

Board

determined

that

it

was

appropriate

to

evaluate

the

individual

performance

achieved

by

each

Subadviser

as

it

contributed

to

the

performance

of

the

Fund

as

a

whole.

Based

on

the

foregoing,

among

other

applicable

considerations,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

Fund

and

its

shareholders

could

benefit

from

the

Adviser’s

continued

management

under

the

Advisory

Agreement

and

from

each

Subadviser’s

continued

management

under

the

respective

Subadvisory

Agreements.

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

expense

ratios

of

the

Fund’s

Strategic

Insight

peers.

The

Board

noted

that,

based

on

the

information

provided

by

Strategic

Insight,

the

net

advisory

fee

rate

and

net

total

expense

ratio

for

the

Fund

were

each

higher

than

the

median

of

its

Strategic

Insight

peers.

The

Board

noted

the

Adviser’s

representation

that

the

Fund’s

Strategic

Insight

peers

are

heavily

weighted

toward

small

cap

managers,

which

offer

lower

fees

than

microcap

managers,

which

could

account

for

some

of

the

variance

in

the

fee

and

expense

comparison.

The

Board

also

noted

the

Adviser’s

representation

that

many

of

the

funds

listed

in

the

respective

Strategic

Insight

peer

groups

did

not

operate

pursuant

to

a

multi-manager

structure

and

that,

unlike

the

peers

in

the

Strategic

Insight

peer

group,

the

Adviser

paid

each

of

the

Subadvisers

directly

from

the

advisory

fee

paid

to

the

Adviser

such

that

the

fees

and

expenses

of

the

Strategic

Insight

peers

were

not

directly

comparable.

The

Board

noted

further

the

Adviser’s

representation

that,

although

the

total

expense

ratio

for

the

Fund

was

higher

than

the

average

of

the

expense

ratios

of

the

Comparable

Funds,

the

Fund’s

total

expense

ratio

was

believed

to

be

within

a

reasonable

range.

Finally,

the

Board

observed

that

the

contractual

advisory

fee

and

expense

cap

were

each

most

recently

lowered

in

2020.

With

regard

to

Subadviser

compensation,

the

Board

noted

the

arms-length

nature

of

the

relationship

between

the

Adviser

and

each

Subadvisers

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

fees

due

under

each

Subadvisory

Agreement.

Based

on

the

foregoing

and

other

relevant

considerations,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

Adviser’s

advisory

fee

rate

charged

to

the

Fund

appeared

to

be

reasonable

in

light

of

the

nature,

extent

and

quality

of

services

provided

by

the

Adviser.

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

Subadvisers.

The

Board

noted

that

the

Adviser

does

not

maintain

separate

profit

and

loss

data

by

account,

making

it

difficult

to

assess

costs

incurred

specific

to

providing

services

to

the

Fund.

The

Board

noted

further

the

Adviser’s

representation

that

the

Adviser

continues

to

pay

its

Subadvisers

directly

from

the

Adviser’s

advisory

fees

and

that

the

Adviser

continued

to

subsidize

the

operation

of

the

Fund

by

waiving

its

advisory

fee

and

reimbursing

expenses

to

the

extent

necessary

to

keep

the

Fund’s

total

expense

ratios

at

competitive

levels.

Based

on

these

and

other

applicable

considerations,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

Adviser’s

profits

attributable

to

management

of

the

Fund

were

reasonable

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

Subadvisers

from

their

relationships

with

the

Fund,

noting

instead

the

arms-length

nature

of

the

relationship

between

the

Adviser

and

each

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

each

Subadvisory

Agreement.

Economies

of

Scale

The

Board

considered

whether

the

Fund

was

benefitting,

or

may

benefit

in

the

future,

from

any

economies

of

scale.

In

this

regard,

the

Board

considered

the

Fund’s

fee

structure,

asset

size,

net

expense

ratio,

and

the

fees

of

comparable

advisers,

recognizing

that

an

analysis

of

economies

of

scale

is

generally

most

relevant

when

a

fund

has

achieved

a

substantial

size

and

has

growing

assets

and

that,

if

a

fund’s

assets

are

stable

or

decreasing,

the

significance

of

economies

of

scale

may

be

reduced.

The

Board

noted

the

assets

of

the

Fund

were

stable

but

relatively

low.

The

Board

also

noted

the

Adviser’s

representation

that

the

Fund

was

benefitting

from

expenses

subsidized

by

the

Adviser

under

the

contractual

expense

limitation

agreement.

The

Board

noted

further

the

Adviser’s

representation

that,

although

the

Fund

could

benefit

from

economies

of

scale

as

assets

grow,

the

Adviser

believed

that

economies

of

scale

had

not

been

achieved

at

current

asset

levels.

The

Board

also

considered

whether

the

Fund

would

benefit

from

any

economies

of

scale

with

respect

to

the

Subadvisory

Agreements.

In

this

respect,

the

Board

noted

that

there

were

no

breakpoints

in

the

Subadvisory

Agreements

and

that

such

breakpoints

were

likely

to

benefit

the

Adviser,

rather

than

the

Fund,

because

the

Adviser

pays

the

subadvisory

fees

directly

from

the

Adviser’s

advisory

fee.

The

Board

considered

that

the

subadvisory

fee

rates

were

negotiated

at

arm’s

length

between

the

Adviser

and

each

Subadviser

and

that,

for

the

reasons

cited

above,

among

other

relevant

considerations,

breakpoints

in

the

subadvisory

fee

rates

were

unlikely

to

result

in

the

Fund’s

realization

of

economies

of

scale.

Based

on

the

foregoing

information

and

other

applicable

factors,

and

in

light

of

the

size

of

the

Fund,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

asset

level

of

the

Fund

was

not

consistent

with

the

existence

of

economies

of

scale

and

that

economies

of

scale

were

not

a

material

factor

in

approving

the

continuation

of

the

Advisory

Agreement

or

Subadvisory

Agreements.

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

and

other

relevant

considerations,

the

Board

concluded

that

other

benefits

received

by

the

Adviser

from

its

relationship

with

the

Fund

were

not

a

material

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

Subadvisers

whose

strategies

it

seeks

to

combine

to

achieve

the

Fund’s

investment

objective,

when

considering

the

renewal

of

the

Subadvisory

Agreements,

the

Board

gave

significant

weight

to

the

Adviser’s

recommendation

that

the

Subadvisory

Agreements

be

renewed

and

to

the

Adviser’s

representation

that

the

reappointment

of

the

Subadvisers

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

each

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

each

Subadvisory

Agreement.

During

its

deliberations,

the

Board

received

an

oral

presentation

from

the

Adviser

and

was

assisted

by

the

advice

of

Independent

Legal

Counsel.

At

the

June

meeting,

the

Board

reviewed,

among

other

matters,

the

topics

discussed

below:

Nature,

Extent

and

Quality

of

Services

The

Board

received

a

presentation

from

senior

representatives

of

the

Adviser

and

discussed

Meros’

personnel,

operations

and

financial

condition.

In

this

context,

the

Board

considered

the

adequacy

of

Meros’

resources

and

the

quality

of

services

to

be

provided

by

Meros

under

the

Subadvisory

Agreement.

The

Board

reviewed

information

regarding

the

experience,

qualifications

and

professional

background

of

the

portfolio

managers

and

other

personnel

at

Meros

who,

as

Meros

employees

had,

and

under

the

Subadvisory

Agreement

would

continue

to

have,

responsibility

for

the

Sleeve.

The

Board

considered

the

Adviser’s

representation

that

the

portfolio

managers

of

Meros

who

were

responsible

for

the

Sleeve

would

continue

in

that

role

as

portfolio

managers

at

Meros

and

noted

that,

since

2019,

the

same

portfolio

managers

had

provided

such

services

to

the

Fund.

The

Board

considered

the

investment

philosophy

and

decision-making

process

of

those

professionals

and

the

capability

and

integrity

of

Meros’

senior

management

and

staff.

The

Board

also

evaluated

the

anticipated

quality

of

Meros’

services

with

respect

to

regulatory

compliance

and

compliance

with

client

investment

policies

and

restrictions.

In

addition,

the

Board

took

into

consideration

the

Adviser’s

recommendation

to

approve

the

Subadvisory

Agreement

with

Meros.

The

Board

also

noted

Meros’

representation

that

it

is

financially

stable

and

able

to

provide

investment

advisory

services

to

the

Fund.

The

Board

concluded

that,

overall,

it

was

satisfied

with

the

nature,

extent,

and

quality

of

services

to

be

provided

to

the

Fund

by

Meros

under

the

Subadvisory

Agreement.

Costs

of

Services

and

Profitability

The

Board

noted

that

the

Adviser,

and

not

the

Fund,

was

responsible

for

paying

the

subadvisory

fees

due

under

the

Subadvisory

Agreement.

The

Board

considered

information

regarding

the

fees

paid

and

revenue

received

by

the

Subadviser

from

its

relationship

with

the

Fund,

noting

the

arm’s-length

nature

of

the

relationship

between

the

Adviser

and

the

Subadviser

with

respect

to

the

negotiation

of

the

subadvisory

fee

rate

that

would

apply.

The

Board

concluded

that

the

Subadviser’s

profitability

was

not

a

material

factor

in

determining

whether

to

approve

the

Subadvisory

Agreement.

Performance

Recognizing

that

the

Subadviser’s

portfolio

management

personnel

were

the

same

as

those

currently

employed

to

manage

the

Sleeve

as

employees

of

Meros,

the

Board

considered

the

historical

performance

of

the

proposed

portfolio

managers

of

the

Subadviser

in

managing

the

Sleeve,

including

in

particular

the

Adviser’s

evaluation

of

the

performance

Meros

achieved

for

the

Sleeve.

The

Board

noted

the

Adviser

had

expressed

satisfaction

with

the

performance

of

Meros

and

that

the

Adviser

had

recommended

the

approval

of

the

Subadvisory

Agreement.

Based

on

the

Adviser’s

evaluation

of

Meros’

performance

and

other

relevant

facts

and

circumstances,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

Subadviser’s

management

of

the

Sleeve

could

benefit

the

Fund

and

its

shareholders.

Compensation

The

Board

reviewed

the

Subadviser’s

proposed

compensation

for

providing

subadvisory

services

to

the

Fund

and

noted

that

the

total

advisory

fee

paid

by

the

Fund

would

not

change

because

the

subadvisory

fees

are

paid

by

the

Adviser

and

not

the

Funds.

The

Board

thus

did

not

focus

on

information

regarding

the

proposed

compensation

to

be

paid

to

the

Subadviser

as

a

result

of

its

relationship

with

the

Fund,

noting

instead

the

arm’s-length

nature

of

the

relationship

between

the

Adviser

and

the

Subadviser

with

respect

to

the

negotiation

of

the

subadvisory

fee

rate

that

would

apply

to

the

Subadviser.

The

Board

did

note,

however,

that

the

compensation

to

be

received

by

the

Subadviser

under

the

Subadvisory

Agreement

would

be

no

greater

than

the

compensation

that

Meros

received

under

the

prior

subadvisory

agreement.

As

a

result,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

proposed

compensation

for

providing

subadvisory

services

to

the

Fund

was

not

a

material

factor

in

considering

the

approval

of

the

Subadvisory

Agreement.

Economies

of

Scale

The

Board

considered

whether

the

Fund

would

benefit

from

any

economies

of

scale

with

respect

to

the

Subadvisory

Agreement.

The

Board

noted

that

because

the

Adviser,

and

not

the

Fund,

pays

the

subadvisory

fee,

the

Fund

would

not

benefit

from

any

form

of

in

the

subadvisory

rate.

Based

on

the

foregoing

information

and

other

materials

presented,

the

Board

concluded

that

economies

of

scale

were

not

a

material

factor

in

approving

the

Subadvisory

Agreement.

Other

Benefits

The

Board

noted

the

Subadviser’s

representation

that,

aside

from

its

contractual

subadvisory

fees,

it

does

not

benefit

in

a

material

way

from

its

relationship

with

the

Fund.

As

a

result,

other

benefits

accrued

by

the

Subadviser

were

not

a

material

factor

in

approving

the

Subadvisory

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;

however,

in

light

of

the

fact

that

the

Fund

is

a

multi-manager

Fund

for

which

the

Adviser

identifies

subadvisers

whose

strategies

it

seeks

to

combine

to

achieve

the

Fund’s

investment

objective,

the

Board

gave

significant

weight

to

the

Adviser’s

recommendation

that

the

Subadviser

be

appointed

as

a

subadviser

to

the

Fund

and

to

the

Adviser’s

representation

that

the

appointment

of

the

Subadviser

would

positively

contribute

to

the

Adviser

successfully

executing

the

overall

strategy

of

the

Fund.

Based

on

its

review,

including

consideration

of

each

of

the

factors

referenced

above,

the

Board

(including

a

majority

of

the

Independent

Trustees)

determined,

in

the

exercise

of

its

reasonable

business

judgment,

that

the

subadvisory

arrangement,

as

outlined

in

the

Subadvisory

Agreement,

was

fair

and

reasonable

in

light

of

the

services

to

be

performed,

to

be

incurred

by

Fund

and

matters

Recognizing

that

had

of

the

Board

evaluated

the

assessment

of

the

in

managing

with

similar

investment

strategies

to

the

for

noting

the

had

expressed

satisfaction

with

the

of

and

that

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,

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.

The

example

is

based

on

an

investment

of

$1,000

invested

at

the

beginning

of

the

period

and

held

for

the

entire

period

from

January

1,

2023

through

June

30,

2023.

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.

This

report

is

submitted

for

the

general

information

of

the

shareholders

of

the

Fund.

It

is

not

authorized

for

distribution

to

prospective

investors

unless

preceded

or

accompanied

by

an

effective

prospectus,

which

includes

information

regarding

the

Fund’s

risks,

objectives,

fees

and

expenses,

experience

of

its

management,

and

other

information.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

(a)As of the end of the period covered by this report, Forum Funds II (the “Registrant”) has adopted a code of ethics, which applies to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Code of Ethics”). 

(c)There have been no amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics during the period covered by this report.

(d)There have been no waivers to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics during the period covered by this report.

(e)Not applicable.

(f) (1)  A copy of the Code of Ethics is being filed under Item 13(a) hereto.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Board of Trustees has determined that Mr. Mark Moyer is an "audit committee financial expert" as that term is defined under applicable regulatory guidelines. Mr. Moyer is a non- “interested” Trustee (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”)), and serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

(a) Audit Fees - The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years (the “Reporting Periods”) for professional services rendered by the Registrant’s principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the principal accountant in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $13,400 in 2022 and $13,400 in 2023.

(b) Audit-Related Fees – The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services rendered by the principal accountant that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item 4 were $0 in 2022 and $0 in 2023. 

(c) Tax Fees - The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the principal accountant to the Registrant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $3,000 in 2022 and $3,000 in 2023.  These services consisted of review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns. 

(d) All Other Fees - The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the principal accountant to the Registrant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item, were $0 in 2022 and $0 in 2023. 

(e) (1) The Audit Committee reviews and approves in advance all audit and “permissible non-audit services” (as that term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission) to be rendered to a series of the Registrant (each, a “Series”).  In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and approves in advance all “permissible non-audit services” to be provided to an investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser) of a Series, or an affiliate of such investment adviser, that is controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser and provides on-going services to the Registrant (“Affiliate”), by the Series’ principal accountant if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Series.  The Audit Committee considers whether fees paid by a Series’ investment adviser or an Affiliate to the Series’ principal accountant for audit and permissible non-audit services are consistent with the principal accountant’s independence.

(e) (2) No services included in (b) - (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the principal accountant for services rendered to the Registrant for the Reporting Periods were $0 in 2022 and $0 in 2023.  There were no fees billed in either of the Reporting Periods for non-audit services rendered by the principal accountant to the Registrant’s investment adviser or any Affiliate.

(h) During the Reporting Period, the Registrant's principal accountant provided no non-audit services to the investment advisers or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers to the series of the Registrant to which this report relates.

ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) The Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Act are effective, based on their evaluation of the controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the Act and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report.
