2013 Annual Report 1

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

By most accounts, 2013 was an exceptionally strong year for US equity markets across the board. Given the momentum of the Russell 2000 leaping nearly 9% in the fourth quarter alone, it was challenging for active managers to keep pace. The year presented unusual market conditions, with momentum driving stock prices and growth outperforming value. Stock prices were also highly bifurcated, with out-of-favor companies disproportionately punished. We have carefully evaluated the drivers of the funds' performance in an attempt to learn from the past, and we see many reasons for optimism about the future.

As 2013 sustained the theme of a slow and steady recovery in the US economy, we expect 2014 to offer more of the same. Recent GDP data have proved encouraging to the upside, despite the October government shutdown and concerns about the potential impact on business and consumer sentiment. The unemployment rate continues to tick down, most recently to 6.7%; unfortunately the recent reductions have not resulted from true hiring but rather from people exiting the workforce altogether, which is less encouraging. These two key data points lead us to question if we are perhaps facing a more subdued "new normal" for the US economy. That being said, while December brought confirmation that the Fed is committed to tapering, the Fed is still providing an enormous amount of liquidity to the markets, with equities remaining the prime beneficiary.

While 2013's economic improvement was driven largely by the residential housing industry, we believe that 2014 should reflect more broad-based strength. Increased optimism should drive both corporate capital spending, and commercial/infrastructure construction. With the underpinnings of continued consumer spending and an ongoing housing recovery, we believe that renewed commercial construction spending could provide an additional uplift for US economic growth. We would be remiss not to mention our ongoing concerns, as the US budget resolution still remains a somewhat open topic, and government spending remains constrained. Moreover, the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, and increased regulation in general, serve as a potential headwinds for small- and medium-sized businesses as an important component of the US economy.

On a global level, as the US continues to chug along, the rest of the world appears somewhat mixed. By most accounts Europe has finally turned a corner, most notably with recent improvements in Spain and the UK. Emerging markets remain a weak spot, and the ever-present concerns about China's growth rate serve as another variable for market sentiment. These varied global results underscore to us the continued relative attractiveness of the US economy, and thus US equities.

Consequently, we remain cautiously optimistic about the prospects for US small-cap equities as we head into 2014. The momentum-driven markets of 2013 led to a degree of bifurcation among companies within the same industries, with material disparities in valuation for in- and out-of-favor companies. In our opinion, there are still investment opportunities where companies have high free cash flow yields, and are selling at discounts to their true intrinsic value. We saw further confirmation of these valuation disparities in fourth-quarter M&A activity. After a mid-year lull, we saw a significant pickup in M&A activity in the fourth quarter, including many out-of-favor names that were acquired by larger public companies at valuations that brought them to the peer group level, where they had previously been selling at a steep discount.

We continue to seek out such names, and are focused on those sectors that lagged the benchmark in 2013, as well as those companies that lagged their peer groups. For exam-

2013 Annual Report 2

ple, the specialty retail group suffered through a very challenging holiday sales season, with several of those names selling as of the date of this report at or near their 52-week lows after sell-offs in the fourth quarter. Technology is another area where we believe there are still opportunities to be found. Thus, we approach the new year from a constructive stance, as the US economy gains traction and the US once again appears to be the investment arena of choice. While even that is not without its challenges, we are optimistic about our ability to execute in this environment.

Paradigm Value Fund

The Paradigm Value Fund appreciated 21.82% in 2013, compared to 34.52% for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. Over the past three years on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 8.36%, compared to 14.49% for the benchmark. Since inception (January 1, 2003) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 14.75%, compared to 11.57% for the benchmark.

The Consumer Discretionary sector was the top contributor to return in 2013, driven by a combination of stock selection and overweight to the best-performing benchmark sector. The portfolio sector returned 50.89%, narrowly outperforming the benchmark sector's 49.11% return.

The Information Technology sector was the second-largest contributor to return in 2013. The portfolio sector's 33.13% return lagged the benchmark sector, but this was partially offset by the portfolio's overweight allocation. We avoided the high-flying software and services companies in favor of the more stable risk/reward profiles offered by hardware companies with proprietary products, strong market positions, and discounted valuations. We believe this approach will be rewarded over time.

The Fund's underweight to the Financials sector was validated in 2013, with the Fund's significant underweight (14.75% vs. 38.75% for the benchmark) contributing 90 basis points of relative performance. Stock selection in the sector was more challenging, and the portfolio's diversified financials lagged the banks that make up the majority of the Russell 2000 Value's Financials sector. This may have been an excess of caution in 2013, but we believe prudence is still appropriate given interest rate risks and uniformity of valuation across the banking industry.

Paradigm Select Fund

The Paradigm Select Fund returned 28.83% in 2013, compared to 36.80% for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index. Over the past three years on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 12.73% compared to 16.28% for the benchmark. Since inception (January 1, 2005) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 9.19% compared to 8.90% for the benchmark.

The Consumer Discretionary sector was the top contributor to return in 2013, driven by a combination of stock selection and sector allocation. The portfolio sector returned 57.77%, compared to 44.07% for the benchmark sector.

Information Technology, the second-largest contributing sector, returned 30.41% in 2013, compared to 39.13% for the benchmark sector. This was partially offset by the portfolio's

2013 Annual Report 3

overweight allocation to the sector. We avoided the high-flying software and services companies in favor of the more stable risk/reward profiles offered by hardware companies with proprietary products, strong market positions, and discounted valuations. We believe this approach will be rewarded over time.

The Materials sector proved the most challenging in 2013, due primarily to the sharp sell-off in precious metals.

Paradigm Opportunity Fund

The Paradigm Opportunity Fund appreciated 25.54% in 2013, compared to 38.82% for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index. Over the past three years on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 9.75%, compared to 15.67% for the benchmark. Since inception (January 1, 2005) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 6.76%, compared to 8.09% for the benchmark.

Information Technology was the largest contributor in 2013. However, the portfolio's avoidance of high-flying software and services companies in favor of the more stable risk/reward profiles offered by hardware companies with proprietary products, strong market positions, and discounted valuations did detract from relative performance in the sector. We believe this approach will be rewarded over time.

Strong stock selection made the Energy sector the portfolio's top performer on a relative basis, with the portfolio sector appreciating 47.99%, compared to 30.18% for the benchmark sector. Matrix Service Company was the best-performing holding in the sector.

Paradigm Microcap Fund

The Paradigm Microcap Fund appreciated 41.41% in 2013, compared to an increase of 45.62% for the benchmark Russell MicroCap Index. Over the past three years the Fund has returned 15.89% on an annualized basis, compared to 16.52% for the benchmark. Since inception (January 1, 2008) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 8.90%, compared to 7.75% for the benchmark.

The Information Technology sector was the top contributor to return in 2013. Information Technology has long been an area of focus for the portfolio as we believe it offers many attractively valued companies with strong free cash flows, proprietary technology, and competitive market positions. The portfolio sector's 22.81% return lagged the benchmark sector slightly, but overweight allocation made the sector a relative outperformer.

The Consumer Discretionary sector was the second-largest contributor to return. The portfolio's overweight contributed 2.82% to relative performance. However, the portfolio's holdings lagged the benchmark sector, due in part to the portfolio's focus on specialty retail, which sold off significantly in 2013. Our extensive conversations with the management teams of our holdings in this industry give us confidence that the sector as a whole has been oversold, and we have taken advantage of current market sentiment to selectively add to those positions that we believe are best positioned to rebound in 2014.

2013 Annual Report 4

Health Care was the most challenging sector for the portfolio in 2013. The Russell Micro-Cap Health Care sector was driven by biotech and pharmaceutical companies with more speculative prospects. The portfolio is focused on more stable, proven medical device, instrument, and service companies whose outcomes tend to be less binary.

Sincerely,

Candace King Weir                                                                Amelia F. Weir

2013 Annual Report 27

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PARADIGM FUNDS
December 31, 2013

1.) ORGANIZATION
The Paradigm Funds (the "Trust”) is an open-end management investment company 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 Opportunity Fund (“Opportunity”) and Paradigm Select Fund (“Select”) 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. Effective December 27, 2011, the name of the Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund was changed from the Paradigm Intrinsic Value Fund. The Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Micro-Cap Fund 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 believed had the potential for capital appreciation. Value, Opportunity, Select and Micro-Cap are all diversified funds. The advisor to Value, Opportunity, Select and Micro-Cap (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) is Paradigm Funds Advisor LLC (the “Advisor”).

2.) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SECURITY VALUATION: 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. 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 generally 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 proceeds from redemption fees were $23,129, $948, $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 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.

2013 Annual Report 28

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

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 (2010-2012), or expected to be taken on the Funds’ 2013 tax return. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and New York State tax authorities; however the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which they are 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, 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 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. At December 31, 2013, Value Fund accumulated net investment loss was increased by $488,048; accumulated realized loss on investments was decreased by $5,414,308; and paid in capital was increased by $4,926,260 due to the reclassification of net investment loss and the reclassification for the usage of equalization for tax purposes. Additionally, as of December 31, 2013, Opportunity and Micro-Cap Fund’s accumulated net investment loss was increased by $15,397 and $45,576, respectively, and accumulated realized gain was decreased by $15,397 and $45,576, respectively, due to the reclassification of net investment loss.

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.

2013 Annual Report 29

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

Equity securities (common stocks and real estate investment trusts). Equity securities are carried at fair value. The market quotation used for equity securities, including those listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, is the last sale price on the date on which the valuation is made or, in the absence of sales, at the closing bid price. Over-the-counter securities will be valued on the basis of the bid price at the close of each business day. 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 the security position is not considered to be part of an active market or when the security is valued at the bid price, the position is generally categorized as level 2. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Advisor determines the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value or when restricted securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and are categorized in level 2 or level 3, when appropriate.

Money market funds. Money market funds are valued at a net asset value of $1.00 and are classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities. Fixed income 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 value of such securities. A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. When prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor, subject to review of the Trustees. Short-term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation. Generally, fixed income securities are categorized as level 2.

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 December 31, 2013:

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a listing of securities by industry. The Funds did not hold any level 3 assets during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. There were no transfers into or out of the levels during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. It is the Funds’ policy to consider transfers into or out of the levels as of the end of the reporting period.

The Funds did not invest in derivative instruments during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

4.) INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
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 Trust’s Board of 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 (a) interest and (b) 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 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Advisor earned management fees (before the waivers described below) totaling $3,007,638, $132,952, $109,032 and $269,862 for Value, Select, Opportunity, and Micro-Cap, respectively. At December 31, 2013, $177,123, $8,384, $6,425 and $28,744 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 the 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 May 1, 2014. Totals waived were $643,948, $31,022 and $40,887 with no recapture provision for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 for Value, Select and Opportunity, respectively.

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 paid $2,000 per meeting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 for the Trust. Under the Management Agreements, the Advisor pays these fees.

6.) INVESTMENTS
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations and short-term investments were as follows:

	Value	Select	Opportunity	Micro-Cap

	$ 1,718,264	$ 6,680,833

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

9.) CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD
Value and Micro-Cap utilized $1,258,952 and $27,231, respectfully, of available short-term capital loss carry-forwards during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, none of the Funds had any capital loss carryforwards available for future periods.

10.) 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 December 31, 2013, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., located at 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California, for the benefit of its customers, held, in aggregate, 25.40% of Value, and therefore may be

2013 Annual Report 32

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

deemed to control Value. Also, National Financial Services, LLC, located at 200 Liberty Street, New York, New York, for the benefit of its customers, held, in aggregate, 36.00% of Value, and therefore also may be deemed to control Value. Candace King Weir, beneficial owner located at 9 Elk Street, Albany, New York 12207, held, in aggregate, 87.11%, of Opportunity, and therefore may be deemed to control Opportunity. Also, Candace King Weir, beneficial owner located at 9 Elk Street, Albany, New York 12207, held, in aggregate, 86.54% of Micro-Cap, and therefore may be deemed to control Micro-Cap.

11.) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In January, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01 "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" in GAAP and International Reporting Financial Standards ("IFRS"). ASU No. 2013-01 clarifies ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities to increase comparability and reduce presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. This requires increased disclosure about derivative instruments that are offset in a reporting entity's Statement of Assets and Liabilities and derivative instruments that are subject to a master netting agreement ("MNA"). Specifically, the ASU requires reporting entities to present separately for assets and liabilities, a) the gross amounts of those recognized assets and recognized liabilities, b) the amount offset to determine the net amounts presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, c) the net amount presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, d) the amount subject to an enforceable MNA not included in (b), and e) the net amount after deducting the amounts from (d) and (c). The effective date of the ASU is for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management has evaluated and concluded that there is no impact of the ASU on the financial statements of the Funds for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

12.) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

2013 Annual Report 33

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 July 1, 2013 and held through December 31, 2013.

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Paradigm Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Paradigm Funds, comprising Paradigm Value Fund, Paradigm Select Fund, Paradigm Opportunity Fund and Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund (the "Funds") as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting Paradigm Funds as of December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
