  PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Dear Fellow Shareholder of The Oberweis Funds:

I am very pleased to report an excellent first half of 2013 for The Oberweis Funds. Among our international funds, the International Opportunities Fund gained 20.88% (compared to 2.02% for the MSCI World ex-US Small-Cap Growth Index), the China Opportunities Fund returned 17.81% (versus 6.89% for the MSCI Zhong Hua Small-Cap Growth Index), and the Asia Opportunities Fund returned 0.90% (versus -3.45% for the MSCI AC Asia Pacific Ex-Japan SCG Index). Among our domestic funds, the Emerging Growth Fund returned 20.27%, the Small-Cap Opportunities Fund returned 14.49%, and the Micro-Cap Fund returned 22.20%. For comparison, the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 17.44%.

In the U.S., history will likely remember the second quarter as the beginning of the end of the Fed’s Fantastic Feat (aka QE I, II, and III). This unprecedented period of “easy money” employed monetary policy to artificially suppress interest rates and reduce the cost of capital with the intent of stimulating economic growth (or at least mitigating its contraction). Well, it was fun while it lasted.

In the second quarter, yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond jumped to 2.49% from 1.85% and have continued higher to start the third quarter. With rates on the rise and bond prices on the downswing, bond funds experienced net redemptions this quarter for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2008, after four straight years of massive inflows. According to the Investment Company Institute, bond funds had outflows of $37 billion in the second quarter, with $28 billion in outflows occurring in the last week of June. In contrast, equity funds had net inflows of $10 billion in the second quarter. Indeed, we believe that fund flows from bonds into stocks amid a more normalized risk environment were two of the primary drivers of strong equity returns during the second quarter. Consistent with an environment of improving risk appetite, equities outperformed bonds, small-cap stocks beat large-cap stocks, and growth bested value.

While rising interest rates imply lower prices for bonds, the impact of the Fed’s pullback on equities (both in the U.S. and abroad) is less clear. On the margin, rising rates will slow consumer and business spending. Still, one also has to look at why rates are rising. Perhaps the Fed feels comfortable ending its stimulus because it believes economic growth is on track — consistently positive, even if not robust. Some indicators suggest that the U.S. has pent up demand for homes, autos, and other consumer durables, although the case is weaker when it comes to corporate capital expenditures. Still, an uptick in spending by the consumer may be enough to drive an unanticipated improvement in GDP growth, which is a key driver of corporate profit growth and stock prices. The question remains, however, if a higher investment hurdle rate (i.e. higher interest rates) will be trumped by better overall economic conditions over the next few years. While there are catalysts for continued growth, we do recognize the challenge of the eventual Fed pullback. Valuations for our high-growth small-cap universe, at a median P/E of 14.5x forward earnings, appear slightly below the 10-year average P/E of 17.0x, but higher than the 12.4x seen at the beginning of the year.

In China, new leadership appears resolved to attack credit-driven investment growth. In the short run, this implies slower growth, but may also put China on a more sustainable growth path over the long-term. China’s economy is also feeling the pinch from weak demand for its exports to Europe and the U.S. While export-driven businesses and GDP-sensitive industries like banking are feeling the sting, other industries like e-commerce, healthcare, and environmental protection continue to experience very strong growth. Indeed, industries appear to be diverging in China and broad-based investment has not been a successful strategy in 2013. By focusing on niche Chinese firms capable of growing even in the face of slower macroeconomic growth, our China team has demonstrated its stock picking skill thus far this year. With valuations for Chinese equities at among the lowest levels since we started in 2005, we believe the climate for finding investment opportunities in China is presently above-average.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER (continued)

In Japan, consumer sentiment has improved and inflation expectations have risen as a result of aggressive fiscal stimulus. While Japan is one of the most cyclical economies and faces challenges, short-term growth will be supported by unprecedented fiscal stimulus and yen depreciation. It remains to be seen what the long term impact of the “Abenomics” growth strategies will have on the Japanese economy.

In Europe, while growth remains muted, valuations are at a discount to most of the rest of the developed world, and expectations have decreased. At the beginning of the year, IBES estimates expected 10% EPS growth for 2013, but that has decreased to 3% currently. While sovereign debt issues remain a real threat, Eurozone PMIs have started to stabilize, even in the periphery. European Central Bank policy is becoming more accommodative and a return to positive Eurozone GDP growth is likely to drive an improving earnings profile in 2014.

In terms of valuation specifics, the average forward P/E ratio as of June 30, 2013 was 18.4 times for the Micro-Cap Fund (versus 18.4 last quarter), 19.3 times for the Emerging Growth Fund (versus 19.3 last quarter), 16.6 times for the Small-Cap Opportunities Fund (versus 16.6 last quarter), 13.9 times for the International Opportunities Fund (versus 14.7 last quarter), 13.3 times for the China Opportunities Fund (versus 12.1 last quarter), and 12.3 times for the Asia Opportunities Fund (versus 17.9 last quarter). Remember, each of the Funds invests in companies with expected earnings growth substantially higher than that of the broader market. As of June 30, 2013, the weighted average market capitalization was $629 million for the Micro-Cap Fund, $1.5 billion for the Emerging Growth Fund, $1.8 billion for the Small-Cap Opportunities Fund, $2.5 billion for the International Opportunities Fund, $2.9 billion for the China Opportunities Fund, and $2.3 billion for the Asia Opportunities Fund.

Lastly, I’d like to personally congratulate our China Opportunities Fund (OBCHX) and International Opportunities Fund (OBIOX) investment teams, which have performed well against peer funds. For your reference, please see the peer comparisons at the end of this letter.

As always, we would like to sincerely thank you for investing in The Oberweis Funds. For more information on all six of The Oberweis Funds, please call Shareholder Services at (800) 245-7311 or visit our website at www.oberweisfunds.com .

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Description of business.   The Oberweis Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end management investment company. The Trust is authorized to operate numerous Funds under various trading strategies. The Trust consists of six Funds: the Oberweis Micro-Cap Fund, the Oberweis Emerging Growth Fund, the Oberweis Small-Cap Opportunities Fund, the Oberweis China Opportunities Fund, the Oberweis International Opportunities Fund, and the Oberweis Asia Opportunities Fund (collectively, “the Funds”).

Investment valuation.   Investments in securities are stated at value as of the close of the regular trading session on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 3 p.m., Central Standard Time). Each listed and unlisted security for which last sale information is regularly reported is valued at the last reported sales price on that day. If there has been no sale on such day, then such security is valued at the current day’s bid price. Any unlisted security for which last sale information is not regularly reported and any listed debt security which has an inactive listed market for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available is valued at the closing bid price determined on the basis of reasonable inquiry. Options are valued at the last reported bid price on the primary exchange as of the close of the regular trading session of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (“CBOE”). Restricted securities and any other securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued by appraisal at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees. Short-term debt obligations, commercial paper and repurchase agreements are valued on the basis of quoted yields for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type or on the basis of amortized cost.

The Oberweis China Opportunities Fund, the Oberweis International Opportunities Fund, and the Oberweis Asia Opportunities Fund hold foreign equity securities. Foreign securities are fair valued as described in the following circumstances. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the close of the regular trading session of the NYSE for the Funds, the Funds will fair value their foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments either are not readily available or are unreliable and, therefore, do not represent fair value. When the fair value prices are utilized, these prices will attempt to reflect the impact of the U.S. financial markets’ perceptions and trading activities on the Funds’ foreign investments since the last closing prices of the foreign investments were calculated on their primary foreign securities markets or exchanges. For these purposes, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that movements in relevant indices, after the close of the foreign securities exchanges, may demonstrate that market quotations are unreliable, and may trigger fair value pricing for certain securities. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. In determining fair value prices, the Trust utilizes data furnished by an independent pricing service (and that data draws upon, among other information, the market values of foreign investments). When a Fund uses fair value pricing, the values assigned to the Fund’s foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges.

Fair Value Measurements.   In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance, the Funds utilize the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” to define fair value, set out a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The Fair Value Measurement Standard applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc).
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets as of June 30, 2013:

The Funds’ assets include certain foreign securities for which a third party statistical pricing service may be employed for purposes of fair market valuation. The pricing service provides fair market valuation on days when the movement in relevant indices exceeds a predetermined threshold. When fair market valuations are employed these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

The Micro-Cap Fund holds a corporate bond with a convertible feature. The value of this security is determined based on multiple factors, including the performance of the underlying stock, its volatility, and coupon rate.

Significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 included securities valued at $2,961,161, $17,684,603, and $993,042 at June 30, 2013 respectively for the China Opportunities Fund, International Opportunities Fund, and the Asia Opportunities Fund. These changes were primarily the result of certain foreign securities using a systematic fair value model at June 30, 2013.

Foreign Currency Transactions.   The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments and foreign currencies.

Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies.   Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries.

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and a high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

Fund share valuation.   Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continuous basis at net asset value. On each day the NYSE is open for trading, the net asset value per share is determined as of the later of the close of the NYSE or the CBOE by dividing the total value of each Fund’s investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the number of each Fund’s shares outstanding.

Investment transactions and investment income.   Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information is available to the Fund, and interest income is recorded on the

accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and discount. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. Gains and losses on premiums from expired options are recognized on the date of expiration.

Federal income taxes and dividends to shareholders.   It is the policy of the Funds to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. The Funds have met the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies for the period ended June 30, 2013. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Income and capital gains of the Funds are determined in accordance with both tax regulations and accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Such treatment may result in temporary and permanent differences between tax basis earnings and earnings reported for financial statement purposes. These reclassifications, which have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds, are primarily attributable to certain differences in computation of distributable income and capital gains under federal tax rules versus GAAP, and the use of the tax accounting practice known as equalization.

In addition to the requirements of the Code, the Funds may be subject to short-term capital gains tax in India on gains realized upon disposition of Indian securities held less than one year. The tax is computed on net realized gains; any realized losses in excess of gains may be carried forward for a period of up to eight years to offset future gains. Any net taxes payable must be remitted to the Indian government prior to repatriation of sales proceeds. The funds that invest in Indian securities accrue a deferred tax liability for net unrealized short-term gains in excess of available carryforwards on Indian securities. As of June 30, 2013, the Oberweis Asia Opportunities Fund has recorded a payable of $0 as an estimate for potential future India capital gains taxes, which is included in the net unrealized appreciation of investments and translation of assets and liabilities denominated in the foreign currencies line of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

For the period ended June 30, 2013, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for net operating losses, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) adjustments were identified and reclassified among the components of the Funds’ net assets.

As of June 30, 2013, the China Opportunities Fund and the International Opportunities Fund had a tax basis in undistributed net investment income of $936,127 and $296,324. No other Funds had undistributed net investment income or net short-term or net long-term capital gains from the prior calendar year.

As of June 30, 2013, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards to offset future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by treasury regulations through the following year ends:

     
  2016   2017   Not Subject to Expiration
Micro-Cap Fund   $ 2,885,816     $ 2,989,022     $  
Emerging Growth Fund       17,736,174     1,289,064  
Small-Cap Opportunities Fund       342,042      
China Opportunities Fund           16,049,598  
International Opportunities Fund       6,283,387      
Asia Opportunities Fund   899,557     1,710,212     185,767  

Post-October capital losses and qualified late-year losses incurred after October 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the following Funds deferred to January 1, 2013 post-October capital losses:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), the Funds will be permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the date of enactment of the Act, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

   
  Post-October
Capital
Losses
  Qualified
Late-Year
Losses
Micro-Cap Fund   $ 27,749     $  
Emerging Growth Fund   326,442      
Small-Cap Opportunities Fund   39,384      
China Opportunities Fund   288,214      
International Opportunities Fund        
Asia Opportunities Fund       2,607  

The Funds have reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities and, as of June 30, 2013, open Federal tax years include the tax years ended 2009 through 2013. The Funds have no examinations in progress and are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2013

Use of estimates.   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Indemnifications.   Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, its present and former Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trusts’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Transactions with affiliates

The Funds have written agreements with Oberweis Asset Management, Inc. (“OAM”) as the Funds’ investment adviser and manager. Oberweis Securities, Inc. (“OSI”), the Funds’ principal distributor, is an affiliate of OAM.

For investment advisory and management services, the China Opportunities Fund, International Opportunities Fund, and Asia Opportunities Fund paid monthly investment advisory and management fees at an annual rate equal to 1.25% of average daily net assets. For the period ended June 30, 2013, the Micro-Cap Fund, Emerging Growth Fund, and Small-Cap Opportunities Fund, incurred investment advisory fees totaling $62,137, $135,294, and $14,725, respectively.

the first $25 million; plus 1.8% of the next $25 million; plus 1.6% of average daily net assets in excess of $50 million. OAM is also contractually obligated to reduce its investment and management fees or reimburse the China Opportunities Fund, and the Asia Opportunities Fund to the extent that total ordinary operating expenses, as defined, exceed in any one year 2.49% expressed as a percentage of the Funds’ average daily net assets. OAM is also contractually obligated to reduce its investment and management fees or reimburse the International Opportunities Fund to the extent that total ordinary operating expenses, as defined, exceed in any one year 1.60% expressed as a percentage of the Funds’ average daily net assets. For the period ended June 30, 2013 OAM reimbursed the Micro-Cap Fund, the Small-Cap Opportunities Fund, the International Opportunities Fund, and the Asia Opportunities Fund in the amount of $1,503, $19,775, $138,608 and $91,210, respectively.

Distribution and shareholder service agreement.   The Funds have a distribution and shareholder services agreement with OSI. For services under the distribution and shareholder services agreement, the Funds pay OSI a fee at the annual rate of .25% of the average daily net assets as compensation for services. For the period ended June 30, 2013, the Micro-Cap Fund, Emerging Growth Fund, Small-Cap Opportunities Fund, China Opportunities Fund, International Opportunities Fund, and Asia Opportunities Fund incurred distribution fees totaling $25,890, $76,810, $9,203, $165,844, $41,292, and $7,609, respectively.

3. Investment transactions

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold during the period ended June 30, 2013, other than options written and money market investments, aggregated $4,064,113 and $6,034,138, respectively, for the Micro-Cap Fund, $16,700,233 and $21,881,028, respectively, for the Emerging Growth Fund, $4,844,644 and $5,949,009, respectively, for the Small-Cap Opportunities Fund, $82,748,363 and $100,441,852, respectively, for the China Opportunities Fund, $48,058,990 and $28,286,335, respectively, for the International Opportunities Fund and $7,424,324 and $8,647,646, respectively, for the Asia Opportunities Fund. The Funds did not hold government securities during the period ended June 30, 2013.

The Funds may write covered call options. The premiums received provide a partial hedge (protection) against declining prices and enables each Fund to generate a higher return during periods when OAM does not expect the underlying security to make any major price moves in the near future but still deems the underlying security to be, over the long term, an attractive investment for each Fund. The Funds write covered call options for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized

gains. Premiums received from writing options, which are either exercised or closed, are offset against the proceeds received or amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. Amounts recovered for securities litigation are included in the realized gains of the Fund and are recorded when received. The Funds did not write covered call options for the period ended June 30, 2013.

4. Redemption fee

The Oberweis Funds are designed for long-term investors. To discourage market timers redemptions of shares of the Micro-Cap Fund, Emerging Growth Fund, and Small-Cap Opportunities Fund within 90 days of purchase are subject to a 1% redemption fee of the total redemption amount and 2% for the China Opportunities Fund, the International Opportunities Fund, and the Asia Opportunities Fund. The redemption fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds and is retained by the Fund.

The redemption fee is retained by the Funds for the expense they incur in connection with shareholder redemptions. Redemption fees received by the Micro-Cap Fund, Emerging Growth Fund, Small-Cap Opportunities Fund, China Opportunities Fund, International Opportunities Fund, and Asia Opportunities Fund were $193, $291, $22, $57,421, $18,629, and $59, respectively, for the period ended June 30, 2013, and were recorded as a reduction of the cost of shares redeemed in the statements of changes in net assets.

5. Earnings credits and interest charges

The Trust, as part of the agreement with the Custodian, receives credits against its custodian fees on its uninvested cash balances and is allowed to borrow for temporary purposes. Borrowings are not to exceed 5% of the value of each Fund’s total assets at the time of any such borrowing. Interest on amounts borrowed is calculated at the prime rate and is payable monthly. During the period ended June 30, 2013, the Micro-Cap Fund, Emerging Growth Fund, Small-Cap Opportunities Fund, China Opportunities Fund, International Opportunities Fund, and Asia Opportunities Fund received credits of $16, $14, $23, $258, $699, and $86, respectively.

Proxy Voting:

The Oberweis Funds has delegated authority to vote proxies related to the Funds’ (Emerging Growth Fund, Micro-Cap Fund, Small-Cap Opportunities Fund, China Opportunities Fund, International Opportunities Fund and Asia Opportunities Fund) Portfolio securities to the Funds’ investment adviser, Oberweis Asset Management, Inc. (“OAM”). A description of the policies and procedures that OAM uses in fulfilling this responsibility is available, without charge upon request, by calling 1-800-323-6166. It also appears on www.oberweisfunds.com and in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, which can be found on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website at http://www.sec.gov. Information on how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12 month period ended June 30 is available (1) without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-323-6166, and (2) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Funds file their complete schedule of portfolio investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year (March 31 and September 30) on Form NQ. The Funds’ Forms NQ are available, without charge, on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

Expense Examples:

As a shareholder of The Oberweis Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (and/or service) 12b-1 fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in The Oberweis Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 investment at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period.

Actual Expenses:

The first line for each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below; together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes:

The second line for each Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Supplemental Information (continued)

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 redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Fund in 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.
