2017 Semi-Annual Report 1

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

As the US economy continues to chug along in what is now the ninth year of its recovery, the overall macro environment remained stable in the first half of 2017. Employment data continue to improve, albeit slowly, with the most recent report demonstrating strong absolute jobs growth. While the unemployment rate ticked up nominally, to 4.4% from 4.3% over the first half of 2017, this in part reflects a greater participation rate.

Housing continues its “lower for longer” trajectory, and we believe that the industry is still in relatively early innings. The industry is not yet close to the historical level of two million housing starts per year, suggesting sustainable demand for the foreseeable future. While a year ago, we and the markets were grappling with the surprise and potential fallout from the Brexit vote, today Europe appears to be stabilizing, which we hear echoed from our conversations with corporate managements.

Some areas of caution in our view include the auto industry, given recent sequential weakness in auto sales. There are several potential ripple effects from this softness, including employment impact as the auto industry is one of the major drivers of US manufacturing jobs. Moreover, as auto makers have strived to prolong elevated sales levels, loan and financing packages have become increasingly aggressive, meaning that these expanded financial obligations could curtail consumer spending in other areas. Separately, the prolonged weakness in energy prices, while a boon for the consumer, also has a potentially detrimental impact on the employment landscape.

Amidst the many gives and takes of the US economy, we continue to scour our universe for areas of opportunity. While it is not an easy space to invest in amidst the current Amazon retail domination frenzy, we believe that the Consumer Discretionary sector—Specialty Retail in particular—has been oversold in some cases. Many names in the group appear to be bottoming out, and so we believe there should be some upside potential among those companies with good management teams, strong balance sheets, solid free cash flow and true differentiation in their strategy. We do not accept the premise that the bricks-and-mortar retail landscape is going away entirely and so it will remain an area of focus for us.

We believe that while overall volatility remains at low levels, the short-term swings in share prices of small-cap stocks remain extreme. For those names that are less liquid, or less well known or covered by the sellside, there can be massive pricing dislocations within short time periods. We continue to see such opportunities in names we know well, which allows us to bring incremental value to the portfolio beyond our fundamental “buy and hold” long-term investment approach. Our cumulative knowledge of our universe helps us navigate through a variety of market environments, and we are optimistic that this consistent discipline should benefit us over the balance of 2017 and beyond.

2017 Semi-Annual Report 2

Paradigm Value Fund

The Paradigm Value Fund appreciated 4.84% in the first half of 2017, compared to a 0.54% gain for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. Since inception (January 1, 2003) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 12.89%, compared to 10.51% for the benchmark.

The Information Technology and Health Care sectors contributed most to the portfolio’s outperformance in the first half, with stock selection strongly positive in both sectors. Portfolio Information Technology holdings appreciated 19.47%, well ahead of the benchmark sector’s 7.20% gain. Similarly, the portfolio’s Health Care holdings gained 25.02%, compared to 14.70% for the benchmark sector. Our overweight sector allocation further supported relative performance.

Consumer Discretionary holdings, particularly Specialty Retailers, proved most challenging in the first half but we continue to maintain that many retailers have been oversold.

Paradigm Select Fund

The Paradigm Select Fund appreciated 5.91% in the first half of 2017, compared to a gain of 5.97% for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index. Since inception (January 1, 2005) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 8.86% compared to 8.56% for the benchmark.

The Health Care sector was the top relative performer in the first half of 2017 due to a combination of stock selection and the portfolio’s traditional overweight allocation to the top performing sector.

Consumer Discretionary holdings, particularly Specialty Retailers, proved most challenging in the first half but we continue to maintain that many retailers have been oversold.

Paradigm Opportunity Fund

The Paradigm Opportunity Fund appreciated 0.78% in the first half of 2017, compared to the benchmark Russell 2000’s 4.99% return. Since inception (January 1, 2005) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 6.45%, compared to 7.85% for the benchmark.

The Financials sector was the top performer in the first half of 2017. Portfolio holdings in that sector appreciated 13.94%, compared to a gain of 0.55% for the benchmark sector.

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

2017 Semi-Annual Report 3

Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund

The Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund gained 15.16% in the first half of 2017, more than triple the benchmark Russell Microcap Index’s 4.23% gain. Since inception (January 1, 2008) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 8.86%, compared to 7.17% for the benchmark.

Strong stock selection made the Health Care sector the top performer in the first half of 2017. The portfolio sector’s 48.69% gain far outpaced the benchmark sector’s 13.59% return, driven by holdings in the Health Care Equipment and Technology sectors.

The Information Technology sector also contributed to outperformance due to a combination of stock selection and sector allocation.

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

^(B) The Russell Microcap® Index measures the performance of the microcap segment of the U.S. equity market.

The Russell Microcap is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort performance and characteristics of the true microcap opportunity set. Effective December 27, 2011 the Fund changed its investment strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Micro-Cap Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks of U.S. micro-cap companies. Therefore, the primary comparative index was changed from the S&P 500® Index to the Russell Microcap® Index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PARADIGM FUNDS
June 30, 2017
(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. Value’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 Micro-Cap 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
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. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Funds follows the significant accounting policies described in this section.

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 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. 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: Each Fund’s net asset value (the “NAV”) is calculated as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “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, 2017 proceeds from redemption fees were $7,108, $24,685, $0 and $2,471 for Value, Select, Opportunity and Micro-Cap, respectively.

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

2017 Semi-Annual Report 27

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

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.

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 the six month period ended June 30, 2017, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

ESTIMATES: The financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which 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 that are traded on any exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted

2017 Semi-Annual Report 28

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

sale price. Lacking a last sale price, a long security is valued at its last bid price except when, in the Advisor’s opinion, the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value of the long security. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. 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 Trust’s 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, 2017:

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 six month period ended June 30, 2017.

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

2017 Semi-Annual Report 29

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

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 and 1.25% of the average daily net assets from Micro-Cap. Effective May 1, 2017 the Advisor contractually reduced the management fee for Opportunity to 1.50% of the average daily net assets. Prior to May 1, 2017, Opportunity’s management fee was 2.00% of the average daily net assets. Effective May 1, 2017 the Advisor contractually reduced Value’s management fee to 1.50% . Prior to May 1, 2017, Value payed 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, 2017, the Advisor earned management fees (before the waivers described below) totaling $551,798, $178,676, $65,149 and $269,678 for Value, Select, Opportunity, and Micro-Cap, respectively. At June 30, 2017, $74,276, $22,027, $7,622 and $46,796 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 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 1.15% and 1.25%, respectively, of daily net assets through April 30, 2018. The Advisor had contractually agreed to waive management fees and/or reimburse Value to the extent necessary to maintain total annual operating expenses of the Fund (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest and other borrowing expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses and indirect costs of investing in acquired funds) at 1.50% of daily net assets through April 30, 2017. The Advisor waived $98,961, $41,691 and $20,389 for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 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 $20,000, in Trustees fees for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 for the Trust. Under the Management Agreements, the Advisor pays these fees.

6.) INVESTMENTS
For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, 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	$9,235,596	$3,708,891	$1,028,628	$29,349,974
Sales	$14,354,993	$4,375,668	$317,566	$42,284,526

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

7.) 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, 2017, National Financial Services, LLC, located at 200 Liberty Street, New York, New York, for the benefit of its customers, held, in aggregate, 37.55% 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, 83.43%, 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, 87.07%, 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, 83.76% of Micro-Cap, and therefore may be deemed to control Micro-Cap.

DISCLOSURE OF EXPENSES
(Unaudited)

     The ongoing costs to shareholders associated with the Paradigm Value Fund, Paradigm Select Fund, Paradigm Opportunity 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, 2017 and held through June 30, 2017.

     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 27, 2017 (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 had provided information to the Trustees for evaluation of the continuance of the Agreements.

In renewing the Agreements, the Board of Trustees 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, 2016. 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 the outperformance and underperformance in relation to the Peer Group average, the Morningstar category average and the comparative index for certain periods for each Fund, as detailed in the Report. They focused their discussions and inquiries of the Advisor on periods during which a Fund materially underperformed any of the benchmarks.

The Trustees noted that when considering the performance of the Funds, they took into account the importance of the Advisor’s sector allocations. The Trustees stated that they are confident with the Advisor’s investment management process. 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 each Fund’s performance was either consistent with performance expectations, or 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. They discussed the information provided regarding operational matters such as the Advisor’s research and investment personnel. They also discussed the portfolio managers’ backgrounds and investment management experience. They reviewed the Advisor’s financial information and discussed the firm’s ability to meet its obligations under the Agreements. The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s recent SEC examination letter and response letter, and were satisfied with the Advisor’s response. 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 under which the Advisor provides advisory services and certain administrative and governance functions, and pays Fund expenses. As a result, in addition to reviewing the management fees, the Trustees agreed that comparison of each Fund’s expense ratio to the total operating expense ratios of comparable funds was most relevant to the Board deliberations. The Trustees noted that, while the fees may be higher, in some cases, than the peer group averages and/or the Morningstar category averages in each case, they appeared reasonable when compared to

2017 Semi-Annual Report 35

Additional Information (Unaudited) - continued

the benchmarks’ range of fees. The Board noted that while the Advisor does not manage any other accounts, Paradigm Capital Management, Inc., an affiliate of the Advisor, provided services to hedge funds for which it receives an annual fee of between 0.75% and 1.00% plus a performance fee; institutional accounts for which it receives fees ranging from 0.55% - 1.00%; and separately managed accounts for high net-worth clients 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. The Trustees discussed the management fees for the Value Fund and the Opportunity Fund and agreed with the representatives of the Advisor that, while currently reasonable, a fee reduction to an annual rate of 1.50% of the average value of each Fund’s daily net assets would enhance the marketability of the Funds and benefit shareholders. The Board and the Advisor mutually agreed to reduce the fees effective May 1, 2017.

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, 2016, and they noted that the Advisor reported having realized a loss with respect to the Select Fund and Opportunity Fund. The Trustees also reviewed a broad industry analysis of mutual fund profitability prepared by an independent third party, which showed the operating margins realized by the Advisor were well within the range reported in the analysis. The Trustees concluded that the Advisor was not excessively profitable from its relationship with any of the Funds.

As for 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 had contractually agreed to waive management fees and reimburse expenses for certain Funds at specific level, thereby benefiting shareholders. The Trustees agreed that, at current asset levels, further fee concessions were not justified.

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. 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 the return of the other Meeting participants, the Trustees conveyed their consensus, including the disinterested Trustees, that renewal of the Management Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
