ORGANIZATION


The JNF Equity Portfolio (the “Equity Portfolio”) and the JNF Balanced Portfolio (the “Balanced Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”) are 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, organized on November 23, 2005 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company.  The Portfolios are intended to be funding vehicles for variable annuity contracts and flexible premium variable life insurance policies offered by the separate accounts of the Adviser’s affiliate, Jefferson National Life Insurance Company.  The Portfolios seeks to provide a high total return consistent with preservation of capital and a prudent level of risk.


2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios in preparation of its financial statements.  The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Securities valuation – Securities and other assets for which market quotes are available are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day as of which such value is being determined, or if no sales prices are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Securities listed on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”).  If NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day at the mean of the last quoted bid and asked prices. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and trader-reviewed “matrix” prices. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. In unusual circumstances, instead of valuing securities in the usual manner, the Trust may value securities at fair value or estimate their value as determined in good faith by the Board or their designees, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board with reference to other securities or indices. Fair valuation may also be used by the Board if extraordinary events occur after the close of the relevant market but prior to the NYSE Close.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

In September of 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Portfolios believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on its financial statements. However, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements reported on the statement of changes in net assets for a fiscal period.


Security transactions and related income Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.  Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. 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.


Dividends and distributions to shareholders – Dividends from net investment income on the Equity Portfolio, if any, are declared and paid annually. Dividends from net investment income on the Balanced Portfolio are declared and paid quarterly annually. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually by the portfolios. 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.


Federal income tax – It is the Portfolios’ 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.


On July 13, 2006, FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’ (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements.  FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolios’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.  Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year.  Management expects that the adoption of FIN 48 will have no impact on the financial statements of the Portfolios’.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


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 Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities.  The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios’ that have not yet occurred.  However, based on experience, the Portfolios expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT / TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES


The business activities of the Portfolios are supervised under the direction of the Board, which is responsible for the overall management of the Portfolios. JNF Advisors, Inc. serves as the Portfolios’ Investment Advisor (the “Advisor”). Chicago Equity Partners, LLC serves as the Portfolios’ (the “Sub-Advisor). The Portfolios have employed Gemini Fund Services, LLC (“GFS”) to provide administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services. A Trustee and certain officers of the Portfolios are also officers of GFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Portfolios for serving in such capacities.


Pursuant to an Advisory Agreement with the Portfolios, the Advisor, under the supervision of the Board, supervises the performance of Sub-Advisor, and the administrative and professional services provided by others.  As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Advisor, the Portfolios pay the Advisor a management fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of .65% of each Portfolios average daily net assets.





JNF PORTFOLIOS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)



Pursuant to a written contract (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has agreed, at least until April 30, 2008, to waive a portion of its advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse the Portfolios for other expenses to the extent necessary so that the total expenses incurred by the Portfolios (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, acquiring fund fees and expenses, borrowing costs such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short, taxes or extraordinary expenses, such as litigation, not incurred in the ordinary course of the Portfolios business) do not exceed 1.10% per annum of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.  


If the Advisor waives any fee or reimburses any expense pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and the Portfolios’ Operating Expenses are subsequently less than 1.10% of average daily net assets, the Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Portfolios for such waived fees or reimbursed expenses provided that such reimbursement does not cause the Portfolios’ expenses to exceed 1.10% of average daily net assets. If the Portfolios’ Operating Expenses subsequently exceed 1.10% per annum of the Portfolios’ average daily net assets, the reimbursements shall be suspended. The Advisor may seek reimbursement only for expenses waived or paid by it during the three fiscal 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).   No amounts will be paid to the advisor in any fiscal quarter unless the Board determines that reimbursement is in the best interests of the Portfolios and its shareholders.


The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.  The Plan provides that a monthly service fee is calculated by each Portfolio at an annual rate of .25% of its average daily net assets. Pursuant to the Plan, each Portfolio may compensate the securities dealers or other financial intermediaries, financial institutions, investment advisers, and others for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Portfolio shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders. The Plan further provides for periodic payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries, including insurance companies, for providing shareholder services and for promotional and other sales-related costs.

Custody Administration. Pursuant to the terms of the Portfolios’ Custody Administration Agreement with GFS (the “Custody Administration Agreement”), the Portfolios pay an asset-based fee in decreasing amounts as Portfolios assets reach certain breakpoints. The Portfolios also pay certain transaction fees and out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to the Custody Administration Agreement. GFS’s did not collect any fees for from the Portfolios during the period ended June 30, 2007.  The Custody fees listed in the Statement of Operations include the fees paid to GFS pursuant to the Custody Administration Agreement.


In addition, certain affiliates of GFS provide ancillary services to the Portfolio(s) as follows:


Fund Compliance Services, LLC (“FCS”), an affiliate of GFS, provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) to the Trust, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between FCS and the Trust.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES

June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)



As a shareholder of the Portfolios, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses.  This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolios 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 May 1, 2007 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2007.

Actual Expenses


The “Actual Expenses” line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses.  You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes


The “Hypothetical” line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolios’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolios’ actual return.  The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to 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 sales charges (loads), or redemption fees charged by your insurance contract or separate account.  Therefore, 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.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)




FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVING THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT


In connection with a regular Board meeting held on February 19, 2007 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Trustees, discussed the approval of an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and JNF Advisors, Inc. (“JNF” or the “Adviser”), on behalf of JNF Equity Portfolio and JNF Balanced Portfolio (collectively, the “Portfolios”).  In considering the Agreement, the Board interviewed the Adviser and received materials specifically relating to the Agreement.  In their consideration of the Agreement (as well as the proposed sub-advisory agreement), the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Agreement include the following:

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services.   A presentation was given by the Adviser regarding the Portfolios’ investment strategies, and it was noted that the JNF Equity Portfolio will be widely diversified by industry and company, focusing on small- and medium-size companies, and the JNF Balanced Portfolio will invest approximately 65-70% of its assets in equity securities, and the remainder in a combination of fixed-income securities, or cash equivalents.  It was noted that each Portfolio was modeled after an existing fund (the “Predecessor Portfolios”), and that once the Portfolios commence operations, the assets of each Predecessor Portfolio will be transferred to the corresponding Portfolio.  The Board also considered that JNF, in its capacity as Adviser of the Portfolios, would oversee the investment sub-advisory services, and is ultimately responsible for providing portfolio management services to the Portfolios.  The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser the ongoing obligation to monitor the performance of the sub-advisers, in terms of investment returns, compliance, and related matters. The Board considered the resources and personnel of the Adviser and concluded that the Adviser has the ability to provide a level of service consistent with the Board's expectations.

 

Performance.  Because the Portfolios had not yet commenced operations, and the Adviser is a recently formed company, the Trustees could not consider investment performance of the Adviser.  They agreed that the relevant consideration was the performance of the proposed sub-advisers to the Portfolios.


Fees and Expenses.  The Board noted that the Adviser would charge a 0.65% annual advisory fee based on the average net assets of each Portfolio.  The Trustees then discussed the proposed active management strategy of the Portfolios, and the supervisory duties of the Adviser.  The Board, including the Independent Trustees, next considered the estimated Portfolio expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds.  The Board reviewed the contractual arrangements by which the Adviser has agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of each Portfolio, at least until April 30, 2008, to ensure that Net Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses will not exceed 1.10% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio’s shares and found it to be beneficial to shareholders.  The Trustees concluded that the Portfolios’ advisory fees and expense ratio were acceptable in light of the quantity of the services the Portfolios expected to receive from the Adviser, and the level of fees paid by funds in the peer group.

 

Economies of Scale. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered whether there will be economies of scale in respect of the management of the Portfolios, whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.  After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that, based on the anticipated size of the Portfolios for the initial two years of the Agreement, economies of scale was not a relevant consideration.

 

Profitability.  The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the profits to be realized by the Adviser in connection with the operation of the Portfolios and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the Portfolios. It also considered the profits to be realized by the Adviser from other activities related to the Portfolios.  These included the receipt of any sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans with respect to the Portfolios, benefits to the insurance company affiliate of the Adviser, as well as the intangible benefits that accrue to the Adviser and any affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Portfolios.  The Trustees concluded that because of each Portfolio's expense limitation agreement and the expected asset levels, they were satisfied the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Portfolios would not be excessive.


Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from the Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and unanimously approved the proposed Advisory Agreement.


Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement


The Board, including the Independent Trustees, discussed the approval of a sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP” or the “Sub-Adviser”), on behalf of the Portfolios.  The Board received materials specifically relating to the Sub-Advisory Agreement. These materials included: (a) information on the investment performance of the Sub-Adviser, a peer group of funds and appropriate indices with respect to the Predecessor Portfolios; (b) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Portfolios’ shares; and (c) the resources available with respect to compliance with the Portfolios’ investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions.  Additional information was furnished by the Sub-Adviser including information on (a) the overall organization of the Sub-Adviser, (b) investment management staffing, (c) the financial condition of the Sub-Adviser. The following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement include the following:


Nature, Extent and Quality of Services.  The Board reviewed the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement and the responsibilities of CEP, including the responsibility to manage the investment operations and composition of each Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective and strategies as stated in the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as from time to time in effect.  It was noted that CEP currently sub-advises the Predecessor Portfolios.  The Trustees discussed with a representative of CEP the extent of its research capabilities, the quality of its compliance infrastructure, and the experience of its portfolio management personnel.  After discussion, the Board concluded that CEP would provide quality sub-advisory services to the Portfolios.


Performance.  The Trustees considered the Sub-Adviser’s past performance managing the Predecessor Portfolios.   The Trustees noted that the Sub-Adviser did not manage the fixed income component of the processor balanced portfolio.  the Trustees compared the performance to a peer group of funds and appropriate indices.  The Board concluded that the Sub-Adviser’s past performance was acceptable.


Fees and Expenses.  The Board noted that the Portfolios would not compensate CEP for sub-advisory services, but rather JNF would compensate CEP out of the advisory fees received from the Portfolios.  The Board, including the Independent Trustees, then considered the estimated fund expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds.  The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees were acceptable in light of the quality of the services the Portfolios expected to receive from the Sub-Adviser.

 

Economies of Scale. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered whether there will be economies of scale in respect of the management of the Portfolios, whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.  After discussion it was the consensus of the Board that based on the anticipated size of the Portfolio for the initial two years of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, economies of scale was not a relevant consideration.

 

Profitability. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the profits to be realized by the Sub-Adviser in connection with the operation of the Portfolios and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the Portfolios. It also considered the profits to be realized by the Sub-Adviser from sources other than the Sub-Advisory Agreement.  These included possible benefits to the Sub-Adviser from the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research and brokerage services, as well as the intangible benefits that accrue to the Sub-Adviser and any affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Portfolios.  The Board noted that because of the Portfolios’ expected asset levels, they were satisfied that the Sub-Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Portfolios would not be excessive. 


Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from CEP as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and unanimously approved the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement.
