2020 Semi-Annual Report 1


Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

From our present reality, it seems difficult to believe that the equity markets in 2019 appeared volatile to us at the time. After the eventful first half of 2020, that period now feels like a distant memory as well as a comparative non-event. The market concerns of 2019 revolved around trade and tariff tensions with China, which today, seem a tertiary set of problems to have amidst a global pandemic. Despite the many uncertainties we currently face, the one constant from 2019 to 2020 is the outperformance of large-cap over small-cap and Growth over Value. This recurring trend appears to be becoming the one thing we can predictably expect. With our value bent and smaller-cap focus, this dynamic has been a persistent headwind for much of the past several years. The fact that we have been able to deliver relative outperformance despite these trends gives us comfort in our longer-term investment discipline and process.

At this time a year ago, the US economy appeared relatively sanguine and stable, despite the US-China trade tensions and attendant supply chain worries. Midway through last year, Institute for Supply Management (ISM) data remained expansionary and unemployment was a very healthy 3.7% . Through June, unemployment was 11.1%, much improved from the April record-high of 14.7% (the highest since 1948), but still an alarming number that equates to nearly 33 million people on some form of unemployment assistance in the US. Put another way, one in five American workers is currently in need of unemployment benefits. The most recent June employment data showed a reassuring improvement of 4.8 million people coming off of unemployment. However, 30% of those new hirings were driven by bars and restaurants reopening-a trend that is likely to reverse with the recent resurgence of COVID-19 cases across the US. On a slightly more positive note, both the ISM manufacturing and non-manufacturing indices expanded much faster than had been expected in June, and housing numbers have also been resilient. While it is reassuring to see these signs of stabilization after two months of severe economic contraction, we are not convinced we are out of the woods yet, from a macroeconomic perspective.

It is clearly impossible to opine on what the next 6 or 12 months might bring amidst a still evolving and reaccelerating pandemic. Current near-term questions include whether the US government will extend the CARES Act (which includes the weekly $600 federal unemployment benefit), set to end on July 31 in its current incarnation. If not extended, that begs the question of what possible "air-pocket" impact its cessation could have on the US consumer and thus the larger economy. The near-term future of commercial air travel remains uncertain as tourism remains largely on hold, with United Airlines recently announcing plans to furlough nearly half of its entire US workforce. Brooks Brothers (among others) has filed for bankruptcy amidst a new remote-working reality and a world in which weddings, graduations, and other occasions and celebrations are largely on hold. Last and far from least, we are also in a US presidential election year, one that appears especially fraught. The only potential offset to the unknowns enumerated above is the possibility of a COVID-19 vaccine being widely available sooner rather than later.

Having had myriad company management conversations in recent months, it is evident that companies are focusing on what is within their control. Companies are intent on maintaining financial flexibility, given this backdrop of extreme uncertainty. In 2020, COVID-19 provides a new reason for a capex pause: we have seen corporations slowing or pausing some of their spending as they reevaluate and re-strategize their capital allocation plans and employee, office space, and geographic footprints. We are hearing our company management teams say they are focusing on their "must do" capital expenditures, versus the "nice to do". Moreover companies are working to bolster their balance sheets in the event of unforeseen events, by returning to the equity markets, as well as extending and expanding their bank lines and revolvers.

We have reiterated that the quality of company management is one of our key investment criteria and considerations. This precept matters more than ever today, as we hear our companies' managements describe their process of navigating utter uncertainty, while keeping their employees and customers safe, ensuring the robustness of supply chains, and still protecting and growing their businesses.

It is impossible to know whether downward earnings revisions or business outlooks fully factor in the array of possible outcomes to 2020, let alone beyond. What we do know is that we have and will continue to adhere to our core investment discipline that has sustained our long-term outperformance across market cycles. Superior management teams, leading market share and competitive positions, true product differentiation and barriers to entry-those are the attributes that allow a company to prevail in a challenging environment, regardless of its industry. We have always maintained a multi-year investment horizon, and while 2020 has not thus far reflected what we had modeled, we think that our portfolio is well positioned to withstand the uncertainty of these times.

Paradigm Value Fund

The Paradigm Value Fund declined 16.47% in the first half of 2020, compared to a 23.50% decline for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. Since inception (January 1, 2003) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 11.11%, compared to 7.81% for the benchmark.

 

2020 Semi-Annual Report 2


Strong stock selection made the Information Technology sector the top contributor in the first half. Increased internet traffic and demand for IT equipment to support work-from-home transitions drove incremental demand for IT products and services in the first half.

The Financials sector proved one of the most challenging in the first half due to emerging concerns over potential losses on loans to businesses impacted by COVID-19. Lower interest rates and the resulting negative pressure on bank profitability also weighed on the sector.

Paradigm Select Fund

The Paradigm Select Fund declined 7.22% in the first half of 2020, compared to a decline of 11.05% for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index. Since inception (January 1, 2005) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 8.73% compared to 7.68% for the benchmark.

Strong stock selection made the Information Technology and Health Care sectors the top contributors to performance in the first half. Increased internet traffic and demand for IT equipment to support work-from-home transitions drove incremental demand for IT products and services in the first half. Following a steep decline in patient procedure volumes at the end of the first quarter, Health Care companies benefited from renewed optimism about a return of elective procedure volumes and increased adoption and utilization of COVID-19 related solutions in the second quarter.

The Industrials sector proved one of the most challenging in the first half, reflecting investor recognition of a weakened macroeconomic outlook. Pressure on cash flows due to pandemic-related facility closures and reduced demand created an additional burden for industrial firms with levered balance sheets.

Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund

The Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund declined 4.27% in the first half of 2020, compared a decline of 11.21% for its benchmark, the Russell Microcap Index. Since inception (January 1, 2008) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 7.07%, compared to 5.62% for the benchmark.

Strong stock selection made the Information Technology and Health Care sectors the top contributors to performance in the first half. Increased internet traffic and demand for IT equipment to support work-from-home transitions drove incremental demand for IT products and services in the first half. Following a steep decline in patient procedure volumes at the end of the first quarter, Health Care companies benefited from renewed optimism about a return of elective procedure volumes and increased adoption and utilization of COVID-19 related solutions in the second quarter.

The Consumer Discretionary sector proved one of the most challenging in the first half, as COVID-19 precipitated widespread non-essential retail store closures, combined with reduced customer traffic amidst shelter-in-place orders in many states. Moreover, record-high unemployment created uncertainty around consumer spending, combined with reduced demand for certain categories of work and dress apparel and footwear in a remote-work environment.

Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PARADIGM FUNDS
June 30, 2020
(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 offers 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”) commenced operations on January 1, 2005. Select’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. 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 and Micro-Cap are all diversified funds. The advisor to Value, Select 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 of America (“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 the trade date for financial statement reporting purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis. The Funds use specific identification 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.

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 or less of purchase. During the six month period ended June 30, 2020 proceeds from redemption fees were $7,814, $10,770 and $0 for Value, Select and Micro-Cap, respectively.

INCOME TAXES: The Funds’ policy is 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.

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 posi-

 

2020 Semi-Annual Report 24


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

tions, 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, 2020, 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 and real estate investment trusts) Equity securities that are traded on any exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted 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 fair 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, and

 

2020 Semi-Annual Report 25


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

if an equity security is valued by the pricing service at its last bid, it is generally categorized in level 2 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 fair 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 provided by the funds 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 each Fund’s assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2020:

Value:             
Valuation Inputs of Assets    Level 1  Level 2  Level 3    Total

The Funds did not hold any level 3 assets during the six month period ended June 30, 2020.

The Funds did not invest in derivative instruments during the six month period ended June 30, 2020.

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 Trustees and Trust 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, as amended (none are currently authorized). The Advisor also pays the salaries and fees of all of its officers and employees that serve as Trustees and Trust Officers. For its ser-

 

2020 Semi-Annual Report 26


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

vices and payment of certain Fund expenses as described below, the Advisor receives an annual investment management fee of 1.50%, 1.50% and 1.25% of the average daily net assets from Value, Select and Micro-Cap, respectively. The Advisor’s investment management fee is accrued daily and is typically paid monthly. As a result of the above calculations, for the six month period ended June 30, 2020, the Advisor earned management fees (before the waivers described below) totaling $329,594, $239,035 and $347,489 for Value, Select and Micro-Cap, respectively. At June 30, 2020, $53,202, $32,750 and $60,895 was due to the Advisor from Value, Select and Micro-Cap, respectively. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive management fees and/or reimburse the expenses of Select 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 1.15% of daily net assets through April 30, 2021. The Advisor waived $55,775 for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 for Select pursuant to its contractual agreement. There is no recapture provision to this waiver.

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 $16,000, in Trustees fees for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 for the Trust. Under the Management Agreements, the Advisor pays these fees.

6.) INVESTMENTS
For the six month period ended June 30, 2020, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations and short-term investments were as follows:

    Value    Select    Micro-Cap 
Purchases    $1,351,835    $3,571,537    $20,502,849 
Sales    $3,755,921    $1,221,994    $23,487,857 

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, as amended. At June 30, 2020, National Financial Services, LLC, located at 200 Liberty Street, New York, New York, for the benefit of its customers, held, in aggregate, 30.64% 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, 67.89%, 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, 89.10% of Micro-Cap, and therefore may be deemed to control Micro-Cap.

8.) MERGER OF PARADIGM OPPORTUNITY FUND WITH PARADIGM MICRO-CAP FUND
Effective as of the close of business December 4, 2019, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization, Micro-Cap received all the assets and liabilities (the “Reorganization”) of the Paradigm Opportunity Fund (the “Target Fund”). Shares of the Target Fund were exchanged for shares of Micro-Cap. 210,241 shares of the Target Fund, valued at $44.66 per share, were exchanged for 329,811 shares of Micro-Cap valued at $28.47 per share. Each share of the Target Fund was exchanged for 1.569 shares of Micro-Cap. The Target Fund’s net assets on the date of the Reorganization of $9,389,723, including $4,017,053 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of Micro-Cap. The combined net assets immediately after the Reorganization amounted to $58,672,090 with 2,060,617 shares outstanding. The Reorganization was treated as a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of Micro-Cap reflected the historical basis of the assets of the Target Fund as of the date of the Reorganization. After the Reorganization was completed, Micro-Cap was the accounting survivor and obtained and held the entire portfolio holdings previously held by the Target Fund.

Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on January 1, 2019, the beginning of the reporting period, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 would have been as follows:

 

2020 Semi-Annual Report 27


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

Net Investment Loss    $(47,869 ) 
Net Realized Loss on Investments    (193,107 ) 
Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation on Investments       12,626,082  
Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations    $12,385,106  

Because Micro-Cap has been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund and Micro-Cap that have been included in Micro-Cap’s Statement of Operations since December 4, 2019.

9.) TAX MATTERS
For federal income tax purposes, at June 30, 2020 the cost of securities on a tax basis and the composition of gross unrealized appreciation (the excess of value over tax cost) and depreciation (the excess of tax cost over value) were as follows:

    Value     Select     Micro-Cap  
Cost of Investments    $27,769,968     $27,620,467     $51,242,006  
 
Gross Unrealized Appreciation    $18,846,929     $11,690,468     $14,962,399  
Gross Unrealized Depreciation    ($3,781,153 )    ($3,309,687 )    ($6,654,952 ) 
Net Unrealized Appreciation                   
 (Depreciation) on Investments    $15,065,776     $8,380,781     $8,307,447  

The tax character of distributions paid during the six month period ended June 30, 2020 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows:

  Six Months Ended    Fiscal Year Ended 
  June 30, 2020    December 31, 2019 
PARADIGM VALUE FUND       
     Ordinary Income  $         –    $  605,925

     Long-term Capital Gain            –           5,884 
  $        –    $     5,884 

10.) CONCENTRATION OF SECTOR RISK
If a Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers in industries within a particular sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss of an investment in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share. From time to time, circumstances may affect a particular sector and the companies within such sector. For instance, economic or market factors, regulation or deregulation, and technological or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector and therefore the value of a Fund’s portfolio will be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2020, Value had 37% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Information Technology sector; Select had 47% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Information Technology sector; and Micro-Cap had 35% and 37% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Information Technology sector and the Health Care sector, respectively.

11.) COVID-19 RISKS
Unexpected local, regional or global events, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; and recessions and depressions could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair market liquidity. Such events can cause investor fear, which can adversely affect the

 

2020 Semi-Annual Report 28


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

economies of nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness known as COVID-19, which is caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread globally. This coron-avirus has resulted in, among other things, travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, significant disruptions to business operations, market closures, cancellations and restrictions, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, and significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19 has adversely affected, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future could adversely affect, the economies of many nations and the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.

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 to or disclosure in the financial statements.

DISCLOSURE OF EXPENSES
(Unaudited)

The ongoing costs to shareholders associated with each 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, 2020 and held through June 30, 2020.

The first line of each 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 each 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
June 30, 2020

APPROVAL AND RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on February 12, 2020 (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”), and the Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund (“Micro-Cap Fund”) (each a “Fund”, or collectively, the “Funds”). Legal counsel reviewed the 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 information reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the contracts and determine whether each was fair to each Fund and its shareholders. He 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, 2019. 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. The Trustees discussed with representatives of the Advisor the factors underlying the performance of the Funds over various time periods, noting that the relative performance of each Fund over the various time periods was generally in line or exceeded that of its benchmark index. The Trustees further 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. 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 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 satisfactory. 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. The unitary management fee is 1.50% of average daily net assets for the Value Fund and Select Fund, and 1.25% of average daily net assets for the Micro-Cap Fund. As a result, in addition to reviewing the management fees, the Trustees agreed that comparison of each Fund’s expense ratio to the expense ratios of comparable funds was 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 1.12% and its Peer Group’s average expense ratio of 1.18% 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 1.12% and its Peer Group’s average expense ratio of 1.22% . 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 1.41% and higher than

 

2020 Semi-Annual Report 32


Additional Information (Unaudited) - continued

its Morningstar category average of 1.12% . 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 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, provides 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% to 1.00%; and separately managed accounts for high net-worth clients for which it receives fees ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% . After a discussion, the Trustees concluded that the management fees paid with respect to the Funds were reasonable. 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, 2021, thereby benefiting shareholders.

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, 2019. 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 Funds’ chief compliance officer noted no Fund securities were traded through the Advisor’s affiliated broker-dealer and that all trades were made on the basis of best price and execution. 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 considered that the Funds’ shareholders had experienced benefits from the fact that the Advisor was obligated to pay certain of the Funds’ operating expenses, which had the effect of limiting the overall fees paid by the Funds. The Board also noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive management fees and reimburse expenses for the Select Fund, 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 independent Trustees, that renewal of the Management Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
