2016 Semi-Annual Report 1

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Our year-end letter for 2015 focused on our assessment that small-cap equities and value-oriented companies in particular were poised to rebound relative to other asset classes. The market brought us a mixed blessing in the subsequent six months: small-cap and value did indeed outperform large-cap and growth asset classes. But our Funds did not participate in this rebound to the extent that we would have liked.

We have carefully evaluated the circumstances around fund performance in the first half of 2016 and identified our focus on the Retail sector as the primary driver for this disconnect. Stock-specific selloffs in key holdings with similar out-of-favor characteristics detracted from overall performance.

Bigger picture, we are acutely aware of a sea change in the retail environment. As the Amazons of the world become increasingly dominant across more and more categories, a more complex retail and consumer environment is clearly not a temporary phenomenon. Mall traffic continues to post consistent declines, while consumers reportedly prioritize spending on technology, devices, and experiences, making the business of specialty retail increasingly challenging. Since Retail has been an area of historical focus and investment for the strategy, it is a topic we continue to scrutinize. We do not believe retail is dead, but we do believe that the nature of the business has dramatically and permanently changed, and not for the better. Thus we continue to seek out investment opportunities that can capitalize on this evolving consumer landscape.

If we believed that the markets appeared volatile in the final days of June 2015 due to gyrations around the Greek debt crisis and Puerto Rico bond default headlines, the end of June 2016 proved all the more tumultuous as a result of the Brexit shock. What up until then had been a relatively benign quarter was quickly upended. While clearly the Brexit news brought a host of concerns to the forefront of the global markets’ fears, the immediate impact for US markets was a “risk-off” reaction that especially punished smaller companies as investors fled to more defensive areas. That being said, we believe that this development should not materially change the course of events for the majority of our portfolio holdings. In fact, we believe it should even bode well over the longer term, as we expect the small-cap companies held in this portfolio to remain more insulated from both the geographic and currency-related impacts of Brexit-like events.

In the immediate post-Brexit aftermath, market dynamics clearly favored defensive sectors, as well as historical areas of perceived safety such as precious metals. These dynamics are headwinds for the portfolios in the short term given our consistent focus on sectors where we have the most expertise and conviction. Fundamentally, however, we believe this disconnect provides further opportunities for disciplined, bottom-up stock selection, and we remain dedicated to our investment process and our focus on the small-cap market.

Paradigm Value Fund

The Paradigm Value Fund depreciated 2.93% in the first half of 2016, compared to a 6.08% gain for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. Since inception (January 1, 2003) on

2016 Semi-Annual Report 2

an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 11.93%, compared to 9.52% for the benchmark.

Stock selection made the Financials sector the largest contributor in the first half. The portfolio sector appreciated 5.34%, compared to a gain of 4.60% for the benchmark sector.

A sharp sell-off in Energy shares detracted significantly from performance in the first half of 2016. Consumer Discretionary holdings also proved challenging in the near term, though we believe many of the impairments to be market overreaction to temporary setbacks.

Paradigm Select Fund

The Paradigm Select Fund declined 0.86% in the first half of 2016, compared to a gain of 3.98% for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index. Since inception (January 1, 2005) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 7.64% compared to 7.63% for the benchmark.

The Health Care sector was the top relative performer in the first half of 2016, with portfolio holdings’ gain of 0.95% comparing favorably to the benchmark sector’s decline of 9.62% .

The Energy sector proved most challenging during the same period.

Paradigm Opportunity Fund

The Paradigm Opportunity Fund declined 1.32% in the first half of 2016, compared to the benchmark Russell 2000’s 2.22% return. Since inception (January 1, 2005) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 5.58%, compared to 6.51% for the benchmark.

The Financials and Industrials sectors were within a basis point of each other as top contributors in the first half of 2016, both due to stock selection. The portfolio Financials sector returned 19.17%, compared to 4.37% for the benchmark sector. The portfolio Industrials sector returned 10.66%, compared to 5.56% for the benchmark sector. Outperformance in both sectors was partially offset by underweight sector allocation.

The Consumer Discretionary sector was most challenging on a relative basis due to retail holdings.

Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund

The Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund declined 0.58% in the first half of 2016, outperforming the benchmark Russell Microcap Index’s 1.68% drop. Since inception (January 1, 2008) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 5.04%, compared to 4.99% for the benchmark.

Strong stock selection made the Industrials sector the top performer in the first half of 2016. The portfolio sector’s 4.36% gain outpaced the benchmark sector’s 1.74% return, driven by holdings in the Capital Goods, Commercial Services & Supplies, and Machinery industries.

2016 Semi-Annual Report 3

The Consumer Discretionary sector was most challenging on a relative basis due to retail holdings.

For the purpose of the accompanying table, it is assumed that all dividends and distributions were reinvested.

Per the Fund’s most recent prospectus, the Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio is 1.25% .

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PARADIGM FUNDS
June 30, 2016
(Unaudited)

1.) ORGANIZATION
Paradigm Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company that was organized in Ohio as a business trust on September 13, 2002 that may offer shares of beneficial interest in a number of separate series, each series representing a distinct fund with its own investment objectives and policies. The Paradigm Value Fund (“Value”) commenced operations on January 1, 2003. The Paradigm Value Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. The Paradigm Select Fund (“Select”) and Paradigm Opportunity Fund (“Opportunity”) both commenced operations on January 1, 2005 with long-term capital appreciation as their objective. The Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund (“Micro-Cap”) commenced operations on January 1, 2008. Micro-Cap’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, Micro-Cap invests at least 80% of its net assets in the common stocks of U.S. micro-cap companies. Prior to December 27, 2011, the principal investment strategy of the Fund was to invest primarily in the common stocks of small, mid or large capitalization companies that the Advisor (defined below) believed had the potential for capital appreciation. Value, Select, Opportunity and Micro-Cap are all diversified funds. The advisor to Value, Select, Opportunity and Micro-Cap (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) is Paradigm Funds Advisor LLC (the “Advisor”).

2.) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SECURITY VALUATION: 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. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER: Security transactions are recorded based on a trade date for financial statement reporting purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Funds use the highest cost basis in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that pay distributions to their shareholders based on available funds from operations. It is common for these distributions to exceed the REITs taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such distribution to be designated as return of capital. Distributions received from REITs are generally recorded as dividend income and, if necessary, are reclassified annually in accordance with tax information provided by the underlying REITs.

The Funds may hold investments in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”). It is common for distributions from MLPs to exceed taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividend to be designated as return of capital. Annually, income or loss from MLPs is reclassified upon receipt of the MLPs K-1. For financial reporting purpose management does not estimate the tax character of MLP distributions for which actual information has not been reported.

SHARE VALUATION: The net asset value (the “NAV”) is calculated as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) every day the Exchange is open. The NAV for each Fund is calculated by taking the total value of the Fund’s assets, subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing by the total number of shares outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. The offering price and redemption price per share is equal to the net asset value per share, except that shares of each Fund are subject to a redemption fee of 2% if redeemed within 90 days of purchase. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016 proceeds from redemption fees were $29, $0, $0 and $0 for Value, Select, Opportunity and Micro-Cap, respectively.

SHORT SALES: A Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of the security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which a Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale.

INCOME TAXES: The Funds’ policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. This Internal Revenue Code requirement may cause an excess of distributions over

2016 Semi-Annual Report 27

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

the book year-end accumulated income. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, after the end of the fiscal year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of certain tax positions only where 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. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and New York State tax authorities; 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. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassification will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of any Fund.

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

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

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 on 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’ best information about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the assets or liabilities.

The availability of 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.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

Equity securities (common stocks, real estate investment trusts and contingent value rights). Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are

2016 Semi-Annual Report 28

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Generally, if the security is traded in an active market and is valued at the last sale price, the security is categorized as a level 1 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Advisor determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, or when restricted securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Advisor, subject to review of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) and are categorized in level 2 or level 3, when appropriate.

Money market funds. Money market funds are valued at net asset value and are classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Advisor is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. There is no single standard for determining fair value, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Advisor would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.

The following tables summarize the inputs used to value the Funds’ assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2016:

4.) INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The Trust, with respect to each of the Funds, has an investment advisory agreement (collectively the “Management Agreements”) with the Advisor. Under the terms of the Management Agreements, the Advisor manages the investment portfolios of the Funds, subject to policies adopted by the Trustees. Under the Management Agreements, the Advisor, at its own expense and without reimbursement from the Trust, furnishes office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and executive personnel necessary for managing the assets of the Funds. The Advisor pays all operating expenses of the Funds with the exception of taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short) and such extraordinary or non-recurring expenses as may arise, including litigation to which the Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Trust’s Trustees and officers with respect thereto. The Funds will also pay expenses that they are authorized to pay pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (none are currently authorized). The Advisor also pays the salaries and fees of all of its officers and employees that serve as officers and trustees of the Trust. For its services and payment of certain Fund expenses as described below, the Advisor receives an annual investment management fee of 1.50% of the average daily net assets from Select; 2.00% of the average daily net assets from Opportunity; and 1.25% of the average daily net assets from Micro-Cap. Value pays the Advisor an annual investment management fee of 2.00% of the average daily net assets on assets up to and including $100 million and 1.75% of the average daily net assets over $100 million. As a result of the above calculations, for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Advisor earned management fees (before the waivers described below) totaling $602,030, $38,042, $58,014 and $252,058 for Value, Select, Opportunity, and Micro-Cap, respectively. At June 30, 2016, $72,475, $4,829, $6,028 and $42,930 was due to the Advisor from Value, Select, Opportunity and Micro-Cap, respectively. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive management fees and/or reimburse Value, Select and Opportunity to the extent necessary to maintain total annual operating expenses of these Funds (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest and other borrowing expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses and indirect costs of investing in acquired funds) at 1.50%, 1.15% and 1.25%, respectively, of daily net assets through April 30, 2017. The Advisor waived $150,507, $8,876 and $21,755 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 for Value, Select and Opportunity, respectively. There is no recapture provision to these waivers.

5.) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain officers and shareholders of the Advisor are also officers and/or a Trustee of the Trust. These individuals may receive benefits from the Advisor resulting from management fees paid to the Advisor from the Funds.

The Trustees who are not interested persons of the Funds were each paid $4,000, for a total of $12,000, in Trustees fees for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 for the Trust. Under the Management Agreements, the Advisor pays these fees.

6.) INVESTMENTS
For the six month period ended June 30, 2016, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations and short-term investments were as follows:

	Value	Select	Opportunity	Micro-Cap
Purchases	$1,749,381	$419,508	$199,057	$15,663,335
Sales	$10,102,715	$712,934	$100,483	$16,577,195

There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government obligations.

7.) CAPITAL SHARES
At June 30, 2016, the Trust was authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest. The following are the shares issued and paid in capital outstanding for the Funds at June 30, 2016:

	Value	Select	Opportunity	Micro-Cap
Shares Issued
and Outstanding	1,381,685	173,003	190,111	1,693,706
Paid in Capital	$41,473,908	$3,651,437	$4,224,508	$42,290,860

8.) CONTROL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting shares of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. At June 30, 2016, National Financial Services, LLC, located at 200 Liberty Street, New York, New York, for the benefit of its customers, held, in aggregate, 39.73% of Value, and therefore also may be deemed to control Value. Also, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., located at 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California 94105, for the benefit of its clients, held in aggregate, 25.06% of Value, and therefore also may be deemed

2016 Semi-Annual Report 30

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

to control Value. Candace King Weir, beneficial owner located at 9 Elk Street, Albany, New York 12207, held, in aggregate, 32.69%, of Select, and therefore may be deemed to control Select. Candace King Weir, beneficial owner located at 9 Elk Street, Albany, New York 12207, held, in aggregate, 93.28%, of Opportunity, and therefore may be deemed to control Opportunity. Candace King Weir, beneficial owner located at 9 Elk Street, Albany, New York 12207, held, in aggregate, 59.77% of Micro-Cap, and therefore may be deemed to control Micro-Cap.

9.) TAX MATTERS

DISCLOSURE OF EXPENSES
(Unaudited)

The ongoing costs to shareholders associated with the Paradigm Value Fund, Paradigm Opportunity Fund, Paradigm Select Fund and Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund consist solely of management fees. Although the Funds charge no sales loads or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. IRA accounts will be charged an $8.00 annual maintenance fee. If shares are redeemed within 90 days of purchase from the Funds, the shares are subject to a 2% redemption fee. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in the Funds on January 1, 2016 and held through June 30, 2016.

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid by a shareholder for the period. Shareholders may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. In order to do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds' shareholder reports.

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 the annual maintenance fee charged to IRA accounts, redemption fees, or exchange 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.

APPROVAL AND RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

At a Meeting of the Board of Trustees held on February 23, 2016 (the “Meeting”) the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) considered the continuance of the Management Agreements (the “Agreements” or “Management Agreements”) with Paradigm Funds Advisor LLC (the “Advisor”) for the Paradigm Value Fund (“Value Fund”), the Paradigm Select Fund (“Select Fund”), the Paradigm Opportunity Fund (“Opportunity Fund”), and the Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund (“Micro-Cap Fund”) (each a “Fund”, or collectively, the “Funds”). Legal counsel reviewed a memorandum provided by Thompson Hine LLP outlining the duties of mutual fund trustees with respect to the renewal of investment advisory contracts, and explained that, in consideration of the continuance of the management agreements, the Board should review as much information as is reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the contracts and determine whether each is fair to each Fund and its shareholders. Legal counsel also explained that the Advisor has provided information to the Trustees for evaluation of the continuance of the Agreements.

In renewing the Agreements, the Board received materials from the Advisor (the “Report”) addressing the following factors: (i) the investment performance of the Funds and the Advisor; (ii) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds; (iii) the cost of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow; and (v) whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders.

As to the performance of the Funds, the Report included information regarding the performance of each Fund compared to a group of funds of similar size, style and objective (the “Peer Group”). All performance data was through the period ended December 31, 2015. The Report also included comparative performance information for comparable major indexes, each Fund’s Morningstar category average, and other accounts managed by the Advisor.

The Trustees discussed in depth the outperformance and underperformance in relation to the Peer Group average, the Morningstar category average and the comparative index for certain periods for the Funds, as detailed in the Report. As discussed below, the Advisor addressed some of the factors that have contributed to the Funds’ relative outperformance and underperformance.

The Report indicated that the Value Fund’s one-year year return was higher than its Peer Group average, the Morningstar category average and the comparative index. The Trustees considered the Value Fund’s excellent one-year Morningstar percentile ranking, noting the Advisor’s explanation that such outperformance was broad-based and that the principal reason for such outperformance was stock selection, particularly in the Industrials sector. The Trustees noted that the Value Fund’s three-year and five-year annualized returns were below its Peer Group average, the comparative index, and the Morningstar category average, and they considered the portfolio managers’ assertion that such underperformance was due primarily to the efforts of a previous portfolio manager. The Value Fund’s ten-year annualized return was higher than its Peer Group average, the Morningstar category average and the comparative index. Since inception the Value Fund outperformed its comparative index.

The Report indicated that the Select Fund’s one-year year return, although slightly negative, was higher than its Peer Group average, the Morningstar category average and the comparative index. The Trustees considered the Advisor’s explanation that the Fund’s one-year outperformance of its comparison groups was due primarily to strong selection in the Health Care sector, and that there were no substantial detractors to Fund performance over the period. The Select Fund’s three-year and five-year annualized returns were above its Peer Group average and the Morningstar category average, and below the comparative index. The Select Fund’s ten-year annualized return outperformed its Peer Group average, the Morningstar category average, and the comparative index. Since inception the Select Fund outperformed its comparative index.

The Report indicated that the Opportunity Fund’s one-year year return, although negative, was higher than its Peer Group average and Morningstar category average, but slightly below the comparative index. The Trustees considered the Advisor’s explanation that such performance was due primarily due to strong stock selection in the Financials sector (despite an underweight to the sector) and the Fund’s concentration in the Information Technology sector. They also considered the Advisor’s explanation that the Fund’s overweight allocation to the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted from performance. The Opportunity Fund’s three-year, five-year and ten-year annualized returns were above its Peer Group average and below the Morningstar category average and the comparative index. Since inception the Opportunity Fund underperformed its comparative index.

2016 Semi-Annual Report 35

Additional Information (Unaudited) - continued

The Report indicated that over the one-year period the Micro-Cap Fund underperformed its Peer Group average, the comparative index and the Morningstar category average. The Trustees considered the Advisor’s explanation that such underperformance resulted primarily from the Fund’s overweight allocation to the Consumer Discretionary sector and stock selection in the Health Care sector. The Micro-Cap Fund’s three-year and five-year annualized returns outperformed its Peer Group average but, underperformed the comparative index and Morningstar category average. Since inception the Micro-Cap Fund slightly under-performed its comparative index.

The Trustees noted the Advisor’s explanations for the performance of the Funds and concluded, after careful review of the investment process and further discussion with the portfolio managers, that the Advisor was taking appropriate steps to address performance matters where necessary. The Trustees indicated that they would continue to monitor performance on a going forward basis.

As to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Trustees analyzed the Advisor’s experience and capabilities. The representatives of the Advisor reviewed and discussed with the Board the Advisor’s Form ADV and the Code of Ethics certifications. They summarized the information provided to the Board regarding operational matters such as the Advisor’s research and investment personnel, highlighting certain recent changes in the Advisor’s investment team. They also discussed the portfolio managers’ backgrounds and investment management experience. Furthermore, they discussed the Advisor’s financial information and discussed the firm’s ability to meet its obligations under the Agreements. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Advisor were consistent with the Board’s expectations, and that the quality of services, particularly those provided by the portfolio managers, was acceptable. The Trustees also concluded that the Advisor has the resources to provide quality advisory services to the Funds.

As to the costs of the services provided, the Board reviewed the fees received by the Advisor under the Agreements compared to the applicable Peer Group and category average. The Trustees noted that each Fund pays a unitary management fee out of which the Advisor pays Fund expenses. As a result, in addition to reviewing the management fees, they agreed that comparison of the Funds’ expense ratios to the total operating expense ratios of comparable funds is most relevant to the Board deliberations. The Report noted that the Value Fund’s audited expense ratio of 1.50% was found to be higher than the category average of 1.24% and its Peer Group’s average expense ratio of 1.24% but within the range of its Peer Group. The Report indicated that the Select Fund’s audited expense ratio of 1.15% was lower than its Morningstar category average of 1.24% and its Peer Group’s average expense ratio of 1.18% . The Report also noted that the Opportunity Fund’s audited expense ratio of 1.25% was higher than the category average of 1.24% and its Peer Group’s average expense ratio of 1.18% but within the range of its Peer Group. The Report indicated that the Micro-Cap Fund’s audited expense ratio of 1.25% was lower than its Peer Group’s average expense ratio of 1.30% and marginally higher than its Morningstar category average of 1.24% . Additionally, it was noted that while the Advisor’s management fees after waiver were the highest in the Peer Groups for the Value Fund, the Opportunity Fund, the Select Fund, and among the highest for the Micro-Cap Fund, the Advisor is responsible under the Agreements for paying all but a very small fraction of the Funds’ expenses out of the management fees. The Board noted that while the Advisor does not manage any other accounts, Paradigm Capital Management, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, provides services to: hedge funds (total assets of approximately $267 million at December 31, 2015) for which it receives an annual fee of between 0.75% and 1.00% and a performance fee of 20%; institutional accounts (total assets of $99 million at December 31, 2015) for which it receives fees ranging from 0.55% – 1.00%; and separately managed accounts for high net-worth clients (total assets of $46 million at December 31, 2015) for which it receives fees ranging from 0.75% – 1.50% . The Trustees concluded that the management fees paid with respect to the Funds were reasonable.

As for the profits realized by the Advisor, the Trustees reviewed a profit and loss analysis prepared by the Advisor that disclosed the direct and indirect expenses paid by the Advisor on behalf of each Fund, the total revenue derived by the Advisor from each Fund and the pre-tax operating margin of each Fund for the calendar year ended December 31, 2015, and they noted that the Advisor reported having realized a loss with respect to Select Fund and Opportunity Fund. The Trustees also reviewed a broad industry analysis of mutual fund profitability, which showed the operating margins realized by the Advisor were well within the range on the analysis. The Trustees concluded that the Advisor was not excessively profitable from its relationship with any of the Funds.

As for potential economies of scale, the Trustees discussed and considered information regarding whether economies of scale have been realized with respect to the management of the Funds, whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board noted that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive management fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain total annual operating expenses of the Value Fund (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest and other borrowing expenses,

2016 Semi-Annual Report 36

taxes, extraordinary expenses and the indirect costs of investing in acquired funds) at 1.50% of its average daily net assets through April 30, 2017, thereby benefiting shareholders. The Board noted that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive management fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain total annual operating expenses of the Select Fund (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest and other borrowing expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses and the indirect costs of investing in acquired funds) at 1.15% of its average daily net assets through April 30, 2017, thereby benefiting shareholders. The Board further noted that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive management fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain total annual operating expenses of the Opportunity Fund (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest and other borrowing expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses and the indirect costs of investing in acquired funds) at 1.25% of its average daily net assets through April 30, 2017, thereby benefiting shareholders. As for the Micro-Cap Fund, the Advisor asserted, and the Board agreed, that the current size of the Fund did not warrant any waivers.

In considering the continuance of the management agreements between the Trust and the Advisor, the disinterested Trustees did not identify any factor as all-important or all-controlling and instead considered these factors collectively in light of each Fund’s surrounding circumstances. Based on the information reviewed, it was the judgment of the disinterested Trustees that each Fund’s fees were reasonable, the extent and quality of services were acceptable and the Advisor’s steps to address performance issues for the Funds were satisfactory. Additionally, as part of its deliberations, the Trustees also considered and relied upon the information about the Funds that had been provided to them throughout the year in connection with their regular Board meetings at which they engage in the ongoing oversight of the Funds and their operations. Next, the disinterested Trustees met in executive session to discuss the continuation of the Agreements. The officers of the Trust were excused during this discussion.

Upon reconvening the meeting, it was the consensus of the Trustees, including the disinterested Trustees, that renewal of the Management Agreements would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
