**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)**

**June 30, 2025**

**1. ORGANIZATION**

The Donoghue Forlines Dividend VIT Fund and the Donoghue Forlines Momentum VIT Fund, (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are each a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of the Northern Lights Variable Trust (the "Trust"), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Funds are intended to be funding vehicles for variable annuity contracts and flexible premium variable life insurance policies offered by the separate accounts of various insurance companies, including Jefferson National Life Insurance Company. The Trust offers shares to affiliated and unaffiliated life insurance company separate accounts (registered as unit investment trusts under the 1940 Act) to fund the benefits under variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. Jefferson National Life Insurance Company separate accounts own approximately 94% of the shares offered by the Donoghue Forlines Dividend VIT Fund, and 100% of the shares offered by the Donoghue Forlines Momentum VIT Fund.

Each Fund currently offer two classes of shares: Class 1 shares and Class 2 shares. Class 1 and 2 shares are offered at net asset value. Each class of shares of the Funds have identical rights and privileges except with respect to arrangements pertaining to shareholder servicing or distribution, class-related expenses, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares. The Funds' share classes differ in the fees and expenses charged to shareholders. The Funds, income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class. As of June 30, 2025, Class 2 shares of the Donoghue Forlines Dividend VIT Fund and Donoghue Forlines Momentum VIT Fund have not commenced operations.

The investment objective of each Fund is as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Objective** |
| Donoghue Forlines Dividend VIT Fund | Total return from dividend income and capital appreciation. Capital preservation is a secondary objective of the Fund. |
| Donoghue Forlines Momentum VIT Fund | Capital growth with a secondary objective of generating income. |

---

**2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies", including FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-08.

**Operating Segments** - The Funds have adopted FASB ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is comprised of the portfolio managers and Chief Financial Officer of the Funds. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each Fund's income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of each Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)**

**June 30, 2025**

**Securities Valuation** – Securities and other assets held by the Funds listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When the market for these securities is considered active, they will be classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as "odd lots" and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as "round lots". A Fund may fair value a particular bond if the Advisor does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Fund's holding. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

If market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable, securities will be valued using the "fair value" procedures approved by the Board. The Board will review the fair value method in use for securities requiring a fair value determination at least quarterly. The "fair value" procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security's fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security.

The Funds may hold investments, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These investments will be valued using the "fair value" procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Adviser as its valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee"). The Board may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, which approval shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.

**Fair Valuation Process -** The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a "significant event") since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund's calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine, the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of a Fund's holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of

**Donoghue Forlines VIT Funds**

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)**

**June 30, 2025**

similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

**Valuation of Fund of Funds** - The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the "Underlying Funds"). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their fair values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based upon methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.

Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by a Fund will not change.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

**Level 1 –** Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

**Level 2 –** Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

**Level 3 –** Unobservable inputs for the asset, or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2025 for the Funds' investments measured at fair value:

The Funds did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 securities during the period.

\* Refer to the Schedules of Investments for classification by asset class.

\*\* Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

**Security Transactions and Related Income –** Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the term of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investment or as a realized gain, respectively. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

**Exchange Traded Funds** - The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs"). An ETF is a type of open-end fund, however, unlike a mutual fund, its shares are bought and sold on a securities exchange at market price and only certain financial institutions called authorized participants may buy and redeem shares of the ETF at net asset value. ETF shares can trade at either a premium or discount to net asset value. Each ETF like a mutual fund is subject to specific risks depending on the type of strategy (actively managed or passively tracking an index) and the composition of its underlying holdings. Investing in an ETF involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the ETF's underlying holdings. ETFs pay fees and incur operating expenses, which reduce the total return earned by the ETFs from their underlying holdings. An ETF may not achieve its investment objective or execute its investment strategy effectively, which may adversely affect the Funds' performance.

**Exchange Traded Notes –** The Funds may invest in exchange traded notes ("ETNs"). ETNs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETN trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The risks of owning an ETN generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETN could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETNs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

**Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders –** The following table summarizes each Fund's investment income and capital gain declaration policy:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Income**<br> **Dividends** | **Capital**<br> **Gains** |
| Donoghue Forlines Dividend VIT Fund | Quarterly | Annually |
| Donoghue Forlines Momentum VIT Fund | Annually | Annually |

---

Each Fund records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of each Fund.

**Donoghue Forlines VIT Funds**

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)**

**June 30, 2025**

**Federal Income Tax –** It is each Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2024, or expected to be taken in the Funds' December 31, 2025 year-end tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and Ohio. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

**Expenses –** Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.

**Indemnification –** The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

**3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS**

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments, amounted to the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Purchases** | **Sales** |
| Donoghue Forlines Dividend VIT Fund | $3513092 | $3951958 |
| Donoghue Forlines Momentum VIT Fund | $101284838 | $104342638 |

---

**4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES**

Donoghue Forlines LLC serves as the Funds' investment advisor (the "Advisor"). Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Funds (the "Advisory Agreement"), under the oversight of the Board, the Advisor supervises the performance of the daily operations of the Funds and the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Advisor, the Funds pay the Advisor an investment advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Funds' average daily net assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, earned advisory fees for the Funds were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Advisory**<br> **Fees** |
| Donoghue Forlines Dividend VIT Fund | $40506 |
| Donoghue Forlines Momentum VIT Fund | 316026 |

Pursuant to a written contract (the "Waiver Agreement"), the Advisor has contractually agreed, at least until October 31, 2025 for the Funds, to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Waiver and Reimbursements: (exclusive of any (i) front-end or contingent deferred loads, (ii) brokerage fees and commissions, (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses, (iv) fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative

**Donoghue Forlines VIT Funds**

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)**

**June 30, 2025**

instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses), (v) borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), (vi) taxes, and (vii) extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses (which may include indemnification of Funds' officers and Trustees, contractual indemnification of Funds' service providers (other than the Advisor))) do not exceed 2.00% and 2.50%, of each Fund's average daily net assets for Class 1 and Class 2 shares, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Advisor waived fees/reimbursed expenses pursuant to the Waiver Agreement for the Funds as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Fund** | **Fees<br> Waived by<br> the Advisor** |
| Donoghue Forlines Dividend VIT Fund | $32130 |

---

If the Advisor waives any fee or reimburses any expenses and any operating expenses are subsequently lower than their respective expense limitation, the Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement by a Fund provided that such reimbursement does not cause the Fund's operating expenses to exceed the expense limitation. The Advisor may seek reimbursement only for expenses waived or paid by it during the three years prior to such reimbursement; provided, however, that such expenses may only be reimbursed to the extent they were waived or paid after the date of the Waiver Agreement (or any similar agreement). The table below contains the amounts of fee waivers and expense reimbursements subject to recapture by the Advisor through December 31 of the years indicated:

Distributor – The distributor of the Funds is Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the "Distributor"). The Board has adopted, on behalf of the Funds, the Trust's Master Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plans (the "Plans"), as amended, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay for certain distribution activities and shareholder services. Under the Plans, the Funds may pay 0.25% and 0.50% per year of the average daily net assets of Class 1 and Class 2 shares, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Funds incurred distribution fees under the Plans as follows:

---

**5. SECURITIES LENDING**

Under an agreement (the "Securities Lending Agreement") with US Bank, the Funds can lend their portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. For each securities loan, the borrower shall transfer collateral in an amount determined by applying the margin to the market value of the loaned available securities (102% for same currency and 105% for cross currency). Collateral is invested in highly liquid, short-term instruments such as money market funds in accordance with the Funds' security lending procedures. The Funds continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Funds have the right under the Securities Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand; if the borrower fails to deliver the securities on a timely basis, the Funds could experience delays or losses on recovery. Additionally, the Funds are subject to the risk of loss from investments made with the cash received as collateral. The Funds manage credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral agreements with third party borrowers that provide in the event of default (such as bankruptcy or a borrower's failure to pay or perform), the right to net a third-party borrower's rights and obligations under such agreement and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty.

The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities loaned and related collateral which are subject to a netting agreement as of June 30, 2025:
