LETTER FROM THE MANAGER (Unaudited)

Dear Fellow Investors,

We started the recent fiscal period with some understandable optimism, considering the rise in most market indices from their June lows. This feeling ended up being short lived as it became clear that the Federal Reserve was sending a more strident message that it would be aggressively raising rates to combat inflation. This somewhat surprising tone contributed to a sharp market reversal into the fall, and with it more uncertainty as to how it would ultimately affect economic growth. While inflation has cooled as a result, we will likely need to see more evidence of price stability for the Fed to even consider a pause. As this debate continues, many companies are reigning in costs as they retrench for a more subdued spending environment. While it’s difficult to predict with much certainty on how this will play out, our belief is that most of the Funds’ holdings will emerge from this difficult period in an even better competitive position in their respective markets and exit this downturn with more streamlined cost structures that will enable a rapid increase in profitability should economic conditions improve.

As for the Funds, the fiscal period continued to be very challenging, but we believe that most of the underperformance versus our benchmarks has been mainly the result of uncertain macro conditions rather than fundamental issues with our company holdings. Valuations remain depressed across many sectors, mainly reflecting poor market sentiment rather than business results. Our decision to increase weightings in smaller cap stocks did not help as investors became more risk averse and worried about an economic slowdown. Historically, small cap stocks have done well in periods of higher interest rates, and an ever-increasing valuation discrepancy between large- and small-cap stocks has us leaning into small-cap growth opportunities even more, especially those that have had the most extreme declines as investors sought to reduce their risk exposure. While we do expect volatility to remain elevated, we believe that ultimately higher stock prices will prove to be justified for those companies that deliver both strong revenue growth and earnings leverage. Hopefully, in the not-too-distant future, we will see calmer market conditions lead to stock valuations that better reflect the current economic landscape.

Jacob Internet Fund

The Jacob Internet Fund (“Internet Fund”) was down 11.36% for the six-month ended February 28, 2023 (the “Period”), while the NASDAQ Composite Index declined 2.61%. While the overall market was weak during the period, the poor results in the small-cap technology sector had the greatest impact on our negative performance versus our benchmarks and peers.

By far the worst performing position – and most impactful to our performance in the period – was Silvergate Capital Corp. (“Silvergate”), which was down 85% for the Period. Silvergate’s business model serving bitcoin depositors made the company vulnerable to aftershocks in the crypto market post-collapse of FTX Trading Ltd. Silvergate was hit by an exodus of customers, which ultimately forced them to sell government bonds at losses to fund these withdrawals. These losses exacerbated the problems at the bank, led to more deposit withdrawals, and caused us to worry about the need for a massive equity raise, or the eventual shutdown of their crypto operations, so we exited the position. WM Technology, Inc., down 58% for the Period, has continued to struggle alongside most cannabis-related names. Stalled progress with federal legalization and a thriving illicit market is still negatively impacting the industry. Identiv, a leader in custom RFID tags and readers, had a combination of supply-related issues and a delay in customer rollouts that led to a 53% decline in the Period. A couple of smaller positions, Atomera, Inc. and comScore, Inc., and long-time holding Digital Turbine, Inc., round out the bottom performers, down 49%, 47% and 42%, respectively. Digital Turbine, Inc.’s weakness coincided with a reduction in overall marketing spending that has affected all ad-tech companies, with the others not really being affected by fundamental issues, but likely tax-loss selling into the end of the year.

The best-performing stocks in the fiscal period were also a diverse group, reflecting the angst across the broader tech sector. Inspired Entertainment, Inc., up 51% in the Period, benefitted from the post-Covid recovery in in-person gaming in the UK and the robust growth of their virtual sports betting products. Impinj, up 49% in the Period, continued its torrid performance in the fast-growing chip market to enable wireless tracking. Reports that conference technology provider Cvent Holding Corp. was attracting takeover interest, led to a 44% rise in the Period and our eventual exit as we felt that the upside was being fully reflected in the stock. Finally, another long time holding, the haptic chip designer Immersion Corp., was up 31% in the Period as its new executive team continued to enact shareholder friendly measures to boost profitability, including an aggressive effort to buy back shares.

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER (Unaudited) (Continued)

Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund

The Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Fund”) was up 0.18% in the Period while the Russell 2000 Growth Index rose 3.06%. Most of our worst-performing holdings were some of our smallest, which due to their more speculative characteristics, fared poorly as recent market declines deepened over the Period.

As in the Internet Fund, Silvergate Capital Corp. and WM Technology, Inc. were the worst performers in the Period, down 85% and 58%, respectively. The two other holdings that had the most impact on performance were Amyris, Inc. and Heron Therapeutics, Inc., down 58% and 42% respectively. Amyris, Inc., a leading manufacturer of chemicals used for food and beauty products, has engaged in an aggressive push into more valuable branded products, and while it has shown remarkable progress, its need to continually raise additional capital has led to more dilution than we anticipated. Heron Therapeutics, Inc., a drug developer with a focus on pain and nausea relief, has stumbled out the gate post-approval of their lead product (Zynrelef) and has yet to prove broad interest among doctors and hospitals. Most recently, a group of activist investors have been added to the Heron Therapeutics, Inc. board, giving us more confidence that we could see improvement as the year progresses or an ultimate breakup or sale of the company.

A trio of healthcare holdings provided by far the most positive impact on performance in the Period. Harrow Health, Inc., up 99%, saw the Food and Drug Administration approve of one of its recently acquired compounds (Iheezo), which will be another product its large sales force can sell to ophthalmologists. We believe this approval, the first ever for the company of a branded pharmaceutical, along with a recent acquisition of neglected eye care drugs from Novartis AG, will lead to a significant step up in revenues in the next few years. Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (“Alphatec”), a large holding of the Fund for several years, continues to execute its ambitious plans to become an industry leader in spinal surgery products. With only a single-digit market share, Alphatec’s market opportunity is still vast, and has an outstanding management team we think is likely to reach its ambitious goals. Lastly, early-stage drug company IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. was up 80% for the Period, as it continues to develop its promising lead drug (Darovasertib) to treat uveal melanoma, a disease with basically zero treatment options. We believe this product, in addition to a host of pre-clinical synthetic lethality drugs, provides many different avenues for Ideaya to prove it deserves an even higher valuation.

Jacob Discovery Fund

The Jacob Discovery Fund (“Discovery Fund”) was up 1.04% for Period, while the Russell Microcap Growth Index declined 0.35%. We are pleased that the Discovery Fund modestly outperformed the Russell Microcap Growth Index, especially given that the portfolio has by far the smallest average market cap among our peers. Fortunately, many of our worst performers were small positions of the Discovery Fund to start the Period, while a couple of our strongest performers were among our top holdings.

Despite the modest outperformance of the Discovery Fund vs. the Russell Microcap Growth Index, however, we generally underperformed many of our peers mainly due to our heavy exposure to technology and biotech. Our worst performer, IMV, Inc., was in the latter category, and was down 88% for the Period as new management followed in their predecessors’ footprint by proving incapable of driving their clinical trials forward in a timely and meaningful way. Unable to secure a larger drug developer as a partner and faced with the prospect of continuous dilutive stock sales to fund the business, we exited the position despite our continued belief in the usefulness of its drug delivery platform.

As mentioned above, IMV, Inc. was a very small position of the fund, as was our second-worst performer, Scout Gaming Group AB, also down 88% for the Period. Scout Gaming AB is one of the leading fantasy sports providers outside the U.S., with a heavy focus in Europe. Unfortunately, fantasy sports have not taken off as they have in the United States of America, and the company has had to undergo a painful restructuring to try and right-size the business, laying off more than half of its workforce and terminating several of its relationships. New management is in place, and we still believe the company has the assets in terms of technology and partners to create a healthy profitable business, and we participated in a tender offer funding the company that will hopefully give them the money they need to get there.

Yet again, our cannabis names were disappointing, with Columbia Care, Inc. and WM Technology, Inc. down 71% and 58% in the Period, respectively. Stalled federal legislative progress, a dispensary and cultivation overbuild, and a thriving illicit market continues

JACOB FUNDS INC.

to put a lot of pressure on the industry. We do believe in the long-term prospects of the market and remain optimistic that eventually the industry gets through these tough growing pains and reaches a point where companies able to survive on the other side will thrive. However, we are appropriately cautious about adding to our exposure to this space until we get more signs that a turn is near.

It wasn’t all negative for the Discovery Fund during the Period. Two of our names nearly doubled during the Period – Harrow Health, Inc., up 99%, and Alphatec, up 95% and already discussed in this letter. Cytosorbents Corp. has had a difficult Period after getting a nice but ultimately short-lived COVID-19 bump for its blood purification technology, but they are now on the precipice of finalizing a U.S. clinical trial for what we believe should end up being a significant opportunity: Clearing blood-thinning drugs from patients undergoing emergency heart surgeries. If results prove successful, which we think will be the case as the product is already used for this purpose overseas, then we believe Cytosorbents Corp. will likely see its revenue grow substantially in the coming years.

Finally, with inflation at the top of investors’ minds, it was a good time to be in the business of mining for physical metals, and all three of our commodity-focused stocks performed well during the Period: Azimut Exploration, Inc., up 55%; and Western Copper and Gold Corp. and Solitario Zinc Corp., each up 29%. All of these companies have what we think are valuable properties that will provide metals that will be absolutely vital to the world’s increasingly insatiable need for electrification.

Jacob Forward ETF

The Jacob Forward ETF (“Forward ETF”) at market price was down 6.76% for the Period while the S&P 500 Index rose 1.26%. Not surprisingly, a large-cap diversified index like the S&P 500 was more resilient during difficult market conditions where many investors continue to be risk averse.

As the Forward ETF combines and incorporates many of the same top holdings as our other three strategies, the best- and worst-performing positions were very similar to the above-mentioned holdings. Amyris, Inc., Heron Therapeutics, Inc. and Digital Turbine, Inc. had the biggest declines in the Period, down 58%, 42% and 42%, respectively. Alphatec, IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. and Impinj, Inc. were the top performers in the Period, up 95%, 80% and 49% respectively. Please refer to the above-mentioned commentary for additional commentary on each.

As always, we believe that staying true to our investment philosophy and process is still key to obtaining the best possible long-term investment performance for our shareholders. Thank you again for your continued confidence and trust.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible. The Funds invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater in emerging markets. Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales. There are more specific risks inherent in investing in the internet area, particularly with respect to smaller capitalized companies and the high volatility of internet stocks. The Funds can invest in small-and mid-cap securities which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Investments in micro capitalization companies may involve greater risks, as these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial or managerial resources. Micro cap stocks often also have a more limited trading market, such that the Adviser may not be able to sell stocks at an optimal time or price. In addition, less frequently-traded securities may be subject to more abrupt price movements than securities of larger capitalized companies. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer term debt securities.

Fund holdings are subject to change and should not be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

Please refer to the schedules of investments for complete Fund holdings information.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION

Jacob Funds Inc. (the “Corporation”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on July 13, 1999 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company issuing its shares in series. The Corporation currently consists of three “diversified” series, the Jacob Internet Fund (the “Internet Fund”), the Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Growth Fund”), the Jacob Discovery Fund (the “Discovery Fund”) and one “non-diversified” series, the Jacob Forward ETF (the “Forward ETF”), each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”, and the authorized capital stock of the Corporation consists of twenty billion shares of stock having a par value of one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share. The primary investment objective of the Internet Fund is long-term growth of capital with current income as a secondary objective. The primary investment objective of each of the Small Cap Growth Fund, Discovery Fund and Forward ETF is long-term growth of capital.

The Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Internet Fund commenced operations on December 14, 1999 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Small Cap Growth Fund commenced operations on February 1, 2010 when it acquired the assets and liabilities of the Rockland Small Cap Growth Fund series of Rockland Funds Trust in a reorganization transaction (the Small Cap Growth Fund is the successor fund to the Rockland Small Cap Growth Fund). The Small Cap Growth Fund acquired the Class I and Class R shares of the Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund II (formerly, PineBridge US Small Cap Growth Fund) series of Jacob Funds II (formerly, the PineBridge Mutual Funds) (the “Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund”) on November 12, 2012. The Small Cap Growth Fund acquired the Investor Class shares of the Jacob Wisdom Fund series of the Corporation on August 26, 2016. Effective December 31, 2020, the name of the Jacob Micro Cap Growth Fund was changed to the Jacob Discovery Fund.

The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

(a) Investment Valuation—Investment securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at their market value determined by their last sales price in the principal market in which these securities are normally traded (except those traded on the NASDAQ National Market and Capital Market exchanges which are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”)), unless there are no transactions on the valuation date, in which case they are valued at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the last reported sales price unless there is no reported sales price, in which case the mean between the closing bid and ask prices is used. Foreign securities, currencies and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are

	translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies. Foreign equity securities are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. The Funds values foreign securities at fair value, using fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”), taking into account the occurrence of events after the close of foreign markets in calculating the NAV. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time the NAV is calculated. The Board has retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in valuing foreign securities held by the Funds. Debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are, unless conditions indicate otherwise, amortized to maturity based on their cost to a Fund if acquired within 60 days of maturity or, if already held by a Fund on the 60th day, based on the value determined on the 61st day. If amortized cost does not approximate fair value, short-term securities are reported at fair value. When reliable market quotations are not readily available or a pricing service does not provide a valuation (or provides a valuation that in the judgment of the Adviser does not represent the security’s fair value) or when, in the judgment of the Adviser, events have rendered the market value unreliable, a security is fair valued in good faith by the Adviser under valuation procedures approved by the Board.

	The Funds adhere to fair valuation accounting standards which provide an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

	Summary of Fair Value Exposure

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

	Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

	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 in 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’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and based on the best information available.

	The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

	(b) Income Recognition—Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

	(c) Expenses—Expenses that are not attributable to a particular Fund are typically allocated in proportion to each Fund’s respective net assets. Expenses, other than those which are class specific, are allocated to a particular share class in proportion to each class’s respective net assets. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

	(d) Securities Transactions—Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined using specific identification.

	(e) Foreign Currency Transactions—The books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency denominated transactions (i.e., market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities, purchases and sales of investment securities, and income and expenses) are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange.

	The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

	(f) Distributions to Shareholders—The Funds record distributions to shareholders on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and distributed annually. The amounts of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made in the capital accounts in the period that the differences arise. The reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

	(g) Federal Income Taxes—The Funds comply with provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of substantially all of the Funds’ taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary in the financial statements.

	The Funds follow accounting standards regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken on a tax return. No material uncertain tax positions existed as of August 31, 2022. As a result, the Funds have not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of August 31, 2022. The standards require the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the Statute of Limitations, for all major jurisdictions. Open tax years are those that are open for examinations by taxing authorities. As of August 31, 2022, open federal tax years include the tax years ended August 31, 2019 through August 31, 2021.

	(h) Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	(i) Contingencies and Commitments—The Funds indemnify the Corporation’s Officers and Directors for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Corporation expects the risk of loss to be remote.

A 2% redemption fee is assessed on any shares of the Internet, Small Cap Growth and Discovery Funds, except those received from reinvested distributions, that are sold within 30 days following their purchase date.

Shares of the Forward ETF are listed and traded on New York Stock Exchange Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Market prices for the shares may be different from its NAV. The Forward ETF issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in blocks of 10,000 shares. The general blocks of shares issued or redeemed are called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Creation Units of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, retail investors are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

The Forward ETF offers one class of shares, which have no front-end sales loads, no deferred sales charges, and no redemption fees. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units. The Forward ETF charges $250 for the standard fixed transaction fee, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on transaction orders if the Forward ETF’s Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order, or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee payable to the Fund may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% in the Forward ETF as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Forward ETF for the transaction costs associated with the cash transactions fees. Variable fees received by the Forward ETF, if any, are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions sections of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

NOTE 5—TAX INFORMATION

At August 31, 2022, the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, the components of accumulated earnings/(losses) on a tax basis for the Funds were as follows:

	Internet			Small Cap			Discovery			Forward
	Fund			Growth Fund			Fund			ETF
Cost of Investments	$	70,915,405		$	9,961,224		$	51,740,136		$	6,259,108
Gross unrealized appreciation		14,736,519			2,271,613			7,436,251			166,789

Net unrealized depreciation	$	(7,928,835	)	$	(1,440,083	)	$	(16,718,303	)	$	(2,843,069	)
Undistributed ordinary income		—			—			—			—
Undistributed long-term capital gains		—			—			—			—
Total distributable earnings	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—
Other accumulated losses	$	(1,978,653	)	$	(1,093,572	)	$	(12,898,018	)	$	(1,076,785	)
Total accumulated losses	$	(9,907,488	)	$	(2,533,655	)	$	(29,616,321	)	$	(3,919,854	)

The differences between cost amounts for book purposes and tax purposes are primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFICs”). At August 31, 2022, the Discovery Fund had $6,093,182 in short-term capital loss carryovers and $5,433,661 in long-term capital loss carryovers which are non-expiring, and the Forward ETF had $981,543 in short-term capital loss carryovers and $31,771 in long-term capital loss carryovers which are non-expiring. To the extent the Funds realize future net capital gains, taxable distributions to its shareholders will be offset by any unused capital loss carryover.

As of the fiscal year end August 31, 2022, the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, the Small Cap Growth Fund deferred, on a tax basis, post-October losses of $892,602.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, the following funds deferred late year losses in the following amounts:

Internet	Small Cap	Discovery	Forward
Fund	Growth Fund	Fund	ETF
$1,978,653	$200,970	$1,371,175	$63,471

Dividends from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for all Funds. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Funds did not pay distributions during the six months ended February 28, 2023. The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 were as follows:

	Year Ended August 31, 2022
	Ordinary		Long-Term		Distribution		Total
	Income		Capital Gains		in Excess		Distributions
Internet Fund	$	—	$	4,453,876	$	—	$	4,453,876

Discovery Fund		721,115		1,440,476		27		2,161,618
Forward ETF		26,831		—		33		26,864

Reclassification Adjustments: Capital stock and distributable earnings (consisting of accumulated net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss)) have been adjusted in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for permanent book-tax differences for the Funds. Differences primarily relate to the tax treatment of net operating losses, foreign currency gains and losses, equalization, REIT reclassifications, in-kind gain (loss) for the Forward ETF, and short-term gains treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. To the extent these book and tax differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the fiscal year among capital stock, accumulated net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments. Accordingly, at August 31, 2022, reclassifications were recorded as follows:

	Internet	Small Cap	Discovery	Forward
	Fund	Growth Fund	Fund	ETF
Distributable Earnings	$2,672,555	$579,046	$1,143,750	$(64,829)
Capital Stock	(2,672,555)	(579,046)	(1,143,750)	64,829

NOTE 6—INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

The Corporation has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with Jacob Asset Management of New York LLC (the “Adviser”), with whom certain Officers and a Director of the Board are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreements, the Corporation compensates the Adviser for its management services based on an annual rate of 0.80% of the Small Cap Growth Fund’s average daily net assets up to $250 million and 0.70% of annual average daily net assets over $250 million and 0.75% of the Forward ETF’s average daily net assets. The adviser fee of the Forward ETF is a unitary fee, whereby the Adviser has agreed to pay all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services. The Adviser is not responsible for, and the Fund will bear the cost of, (i) payments under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 plan, (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses incidental to transactions in portfolio securities or instruments, (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses, (iv) taxes (including accrued deferred tax liability), (v) interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short and overdraft charges), (vi) litigation expenses (including litigation to which the Corporation or a Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Directors and officers with respect thereto), and (vii) other extraordinary or non-routine expenses (including expenses arising from mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions involving any Fund).

Effective June 1, 2021, the Corporation compensates the Adviser for its management services based on an annual rate of 1.25% of the Internet Fund’s average daily net assets up to $250 million and 0.90% of annual average net assets over $250 million and 1.10% of the Discovery Fund’s average daily net assets up to $250 million and 0.80% of annual

average daily net assets over $250 million. Prior to June 1, 2021, the Corporation compensated the Adviser for its management services based on an annual rate of 1.25% of the Internet Fund’s average daily net assets up to $250 million and 1.00% of annual average net assets over $250 million and 1.10% of the Discovery Fund’s average daily net assets up to $250 million and 0.90% of annual average daily net assets over $250 million.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fees in an amount up to an annual rate of 0.10% of the Internet Fund’s average daily net assets to the extent the Internet Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) exceed 2.95% or 2.65% for Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares, respectively, of each class’ average daily net assets through at least January 5, 2024. The Adviser has the ability to recoup amounts waived for a period of thirty-six months following such fee waivers to the extent that such recoupment by the Adviser will not cause the Internet Fund to exceed any applicable expense limitation in place when the fee was waived. For the six months ended February 28, 2023, the Adviser did not waive any fees with respect to the Internet Fund.

Effective November 12, 2012 (date of reorganization of the Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund into the Small Cap Growth Fund), the Adviser contractually agreed to waive up to 100% of its advisory fee to the extent the Small Cap Growth Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) exceed 2.25% and 1.95% for Investor Class and Institutional Class Shares, respectively, of each class’s average daily net assets through at least January 5, 2024. The Adviser has the ability to recoup amounts waived for a period of thirty-six months following such fee waivers to the extent that such recoupment by the Adviser will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limitation in place when the fee was waived. For the six months ended February 28, 2023, fees of $32,392 were waived by the Adviser with respect to the Small Cap Growth Fund.

Effective November 12, 2012 (date of reorganization of the Predecessor Micro Cap Growth Fund into the Discovery Fund), the Adviser contractually agreed to waive up to 100% of its advisory fee to the extent the Discovery Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) exceed 2.45% and 2.15% for Investor Class and Institutional Class Shares, respectively, of each class’s average daily net assets through December 28, 2016.

The Adviser has the ability to recoup amounts waived for a period of thirty-six months following such fee waivers to the extent that such recoupment by the Adviser will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limitation in place when the fee was waived. For the six months ended February 28, 2023, fees of $34,497 were waived by the Adviser with respect to the Discovery Fund.

NOTE 7—DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN

The Corporation, on behalf of the Internet Fund, has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Internet Fund Plan”), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Internet Fund Plan provides that the Internet Fund will compensate the Adviser 0.25% per annum of the Internet Fund’s average daily net assets for certain expenses and costs incurred in connection with providing shareholder servicing and maintaining shareholder accounts and to compensate parties with which it has written agreements and whose clients own shares of the Internet Fund for providing servicing to their clients (“Shareholder Servicing Fee”). The Internet Fund Plan also provides for a distribution fee equal to 0.10% of the Internet Fund’s average daily net assets on an annual basis (“Asset Based Sales Charge”). The fee is used to compensate Quasar Distributors, LLC, the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”), for basic distribution services, out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities to sell Internet Fund shares, advertising, compliance reviews, and licensing of the Adviser’s staff. The Distributor may make payments from time to time from the Asset Based Sales Charge to broker-dealers and other financial professionals whose clients are Internet Fund shareholders for providing distribution assistance and promotional support to the Internet Fund. Remaining amounts of the Asset Based Sales Charge may be used to satisfy distribution costs as directed by the Adviser. Effective September 1, 2016 through at least January 5, 2024, the Board determined to reduce such fees payable under the Internet Fund Plan from 0.35% to 0.25% of the Internet Fund’s average daily net assets on an annual basis. The Internet Fund incurred $66,274 in expenses pursuant to the Internet Fund Plan for the six months ended February 28, 2023.

The Corporation, on behalf of the Small Cap Growth Fund and Discovery Fund, has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Rule 12b-1 provides that an investment company that bears any direct or indirect expense of distributing its shares must do so only in accordance with the Plan as permitted by Rule 12b-1. Pursuant to the Plan, the Small Cap Growth Fund and Discovery Fund make payments to the Distributor, the Adviser, financial intermediaries or others to reimburse such parties for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activity in an amount not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class shares of the Small Cap Growth and Discovery Funds on an annual basis. Effective September 1, 2016 through at least January 5, 2024, the Board determined to reduce such fees payable under the Plan from 0.35% to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class shares of the Small Cap Growth and Discovery Funds. The distribution fees are “asset based” sales charges and, therefore, long-term shareholders may pay more in total sales charges than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Small Cap Growth Fund incurred $4,184 and the Discovery Fund incurred $23,270 in expenses pursuant to the Plan for the six months ended February 28, 2023.

NOTE 8—INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION RISK

Internet and Internet-Related Industries Risk: The Internet Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in Internet and Internet-related industries and thus the value of the Fund’s shares may be susceptible to factors affecting such industries, including factors affecting the computer/Internet technology area generally, and may be susceptible to greater risk and market fluctuation than an investment in a fund that invests in a broader range of portfolio securities not concentrated in any particular area or industry. Companies in Internet and Internet-related industries face special

JACOB FUNDS INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)

risks associated with the rapidly changing field of computer/Internet technology. For example, their products or services may not prove commercially successful or may become obsolete quickly. The computer/Internet technology area may be subject to greater governmental regulation than many other areas and changes in governmental policies and the need for regulatory approvals may have a material adverse effect on these areas. Additionally, companies in these areas may be subject to risks of developing technologies, competitive pressures and other factors and are dependent upon consumer and business acceptance as new technologies evolve. Many Internet and Internet-related companies incur large losses in the hope of capturing market share and generating future revenues, but may never be profitable.

Science and Technology Risk: The Funds’ investments in science and technology companies expose the Small Cap Growth Fund and Discovery Fund to special risks. For example, rapid advances in science and technology might cause existing products to become obsolete, and the Fund’s returns could suffer to the extent it holds an affected company’s shares. Companies in a number of science and technology industries are also subject to more government regulations and approval processes than many other industries. This fact may affect a company’s overall profitability and cause its stock price to be more volatile. Additionally, science and technology companies are dependent upon consumer and business acceptance as new technologies evolve.

NOTE 9—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events after February 28, 2023 and determined that there were no subsequent events that would require adjustment to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

February 28, 2023 (Unaudited)

On March 13, 2023, BBD LLP (“BBD”) ceased to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Jacob Internet Fund (the “Internet Fund”), the Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Growth Fund”), the Jacob Discovery Fund (the “Discovery Fund”) and the Jacob Forward ETF (the “Forward ETF”), each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”, each a series of the Jacob Funds Inc. (the “Corporation”). The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees approved the replacement of BBD as a result of Cohen & Company, Ltd.’s (“Cohen”) acquisition of BBD’s investment management group. The report of BBD on the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through March 13, 2023: (i) there were no disagreements between the registrant and BBD on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BBD, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its report on the financial statements of the Funds for such years or interim period; and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The registrant requested that BBD furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed as an exhibit hereto.

On April 21, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors also recommended and approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd. as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2023. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through March 13, 2023, neither the registrant, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Cohen on behalf of the Funds regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds’ financial statements, or any matter that was either: (i) the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto; or (ii) “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

For the Six Months Ended February 28, 2023 for the Internet Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Discovery Fund and Forward ETF

As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. The Funds do not currently charge sales charges (loads) or exchange fees. The Funds (except Forward ETF) assess a redemption fee of 2% on shares sold within 30 days following their purchase date. In addition, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders. The Funds charge management fees and distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, with the exception of Forward ETF, which does not currently charge 12b-1 fees. The Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the 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 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (9/1/2022–2/28/2023) for the Internet Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Discovery Fund and Forward ETF.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load, the Funds (except Forward ETF) charge a redemption fee of 2% on shares sold within 30 days following the purchase date. In addition, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently the Funds’ transfer agent charges a $15.00 fee. The Example does not reflect transactional costs, such as redemption fees. You may use the information in the first line 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values based on a hypothetical return and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a 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 the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect transactional costs, such as redemption 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 the transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreements

During the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”), including all of the Independent Directors, considered and approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements between Jacob Funds Inc. (the “Company”), on behalf of the Jacob Internet Fund (the “Internet Fund”), Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Fund”), Jacob Discovery Fund (the “Discovery Fund”) and Jacob Forward ETF (the “Forward ETF”) (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), and Jacob Asset Management of New York LLC (the “Adviser”) (collectively, the “Investment Advisory Agreements”) for an additional year. The Board also considered the continuation of the Fee Waiver Agreements between the Adviser and the Company, on behalf of the Internet Fund, Small Cap Fund and Discovery Fund (collectively, the “Fee Waiver Agreements”), which the Adviser offered to continue for an additional year. While the Investment Advisory Agreements for the Funds were considered at the same Board meeting, the Board dealt with each Fund separately.

In reaching its decision to renew the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Board took into account a combination of factors, such as: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser; (ii) each Fund’s performance; (iii) each Fund’s fees and expenses; (iv) the costs of the services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser; (v) whether economies of scale would be realized by the Adviser with respect to each Fund as it grows larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of the management fee charged, specifically the Adviser’s continued monitoring of the appropriateness of existing fee breakpoints in the management fees for each Fund. The Board did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and each Director may have weighed a particular piece of information or factor differently than another Director. This summary does not detail all of the matters considered by the Board.

The materials provided to, and discussed by, the Board in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements included, among other things: (i) a description of the Adviser’s business, operations and qualifications; (ii) a description of personnel, including responsibilities, changes since the last renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements (the “last renewal”) and compensation policies; (iii) a description of the advisory services provided to the Funds, including a discussion of how investment decisions are made and executed; (iv) a description of any services other than investment advice provided to the Funds by the Adviser; (v) a copy of the Adviser’s most recent Form ADV; (vi) a balance sheet and profit and loss statement for the Adviser; (vii) a description of the management fees and a peer group comparison along with a discussion of the appropriateness of the fees; (viii) a description of any issues or recommendations with respect to the Company’s compliance program since the last renewal; (ix) a description of the Company’s expenses, including expense ratios and comparative expense ratios, costs incurred by the Adviser and brokerage expenses; (x) a description of errors and omission insurance coverage that is currently in place; (xi) a copy of the Investment Advisory Agreements with the Adviser, which, among other things, described the services provided to the Funds and the compensation to be paid for such services; (xii) a copy of the Fee Waiver Agreements with the Adviser; (xiii) Morningstar Inc. (“Morningstar”) comparative industry peer group data for the Funds’ performance for various periods ended August 31, 2022; and (xiv) Morningstar comparative industry peer group data regarding the investment advisory fees and net expense ratios of the Funds (less Rule 12b-1 fees) for the period ended August 31, 2022.

When considering the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, the Board reviewed: (a) the scope and depth of the Adviser’s organization; (b) the experience and expertise of the Adviser’s investment professionals that provide management services to the Funds; and (c) the Adviser’s investment advisory capabilities. The Board evaluated the Adviser’s portfolio management process and investment approach and also considered whether

the Funds operated within their investment objectives and styles and each Fund’s record of compliance with its investment restrictions. The Board also considered the nature and character of non-investment management services that are provided by the Adviser, including certain administrative services. After analyzing the caliber of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, both quantitatively and qualitatively, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds were consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements and the Funds’ operational requirements.

The Board reviewed the investment performance of each Fund. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at prior Board meetings, and Adviser commentary provided to the Board between Board meetings, particular attention in assessing performance was given to the comparative data furnished in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements. In particular, the Board noted the performance of each Fund relative to its Morningstar peer group and benchmark indices over various periods ended August 31, 2022.

With respect to the Internet Fund, the Board considered that the Fund’s performance results were below the median of its Morningstar peer group (US Fund Technology Funds Category) for the year-to-date, one-, three-, and five-year periods and below the average performance of its peer group for the year-to-date, one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended August 31, 2022. The Board also considered that the Internet Fund’s performance results were above the median performance of its peer group for the ten-year period and ranked in the 29th percentile for such period (with the 1st percentile having the best performance). The Board considered that the Internet Fund underperformed its benchmark index (the Nasdaq Composite Index) for the same periods. The Board also noted that the Internet Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index for the ten- and fifteen-year periods ended August 31, 2022. While noting the Internet Fund’s positive long-term performance, the Independent Directors took into consideration the Adviser’s explanation for the recent underperformance, including the results of macroeconomic conditions and high market volatility, as well as declines in smaller technology stocks.

With respect to the Small Cap Fund, the Board considered that the Fund’s performance results were below the median and average performance of its Morningstar peer group (US Fund Small Growth Fund Category) for the year-to-date, one-, three- and five-year periods ended August 31, 2022. The Board considered that the Small Cap Fund had underperformed its benchmark index (the Russell 2000 Growth Index) for the year-to-date, one-, three-, and five-year periods. The Independent Directors took into consideration the Adviser’s explanation for the Small Cap Fund’s underperformance, including the results of macroeconomic conditions and high market volatility, as well as the performance of the healthcare sector.

With respect to the Discovery Fund, the Board considered that the Fund’s performance results were above the median and average performance of its Morningstar peer group (US Fund Small Growth Fund Category) for the three-, and five-year periods and below the median and average performance for the year-to-date and one-year periods ended August 31, 2022. The Board considered that the Discovery Fund had also outperformed the Russell Microcap Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Growth Index for the three- and five-year periods, as well as for the since inception period, in each case ended August 31, 2022. The Independent Directors took into consideration the Adviser’s explanation for the Discovery Fund’s shorter-term underperformance, including the results of macroeconomic conditions and high market volatility, as well as the performance of microcap biotechnology companies and the healthcare sector.

With respect to the Forward ETF, the Board considered the limited performance history of the Fund and noted that the Fund’s performance results were below the median of its Morningstar peer group (US Fund Technology Fund) for the year-to-date and one-year periods and below the average performance of the peer group for the year-to-date period but

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

above the average performance for the one-year period. The Board considered that the Forward ETF underperformed its benchmark index (the S&P 500 Index) for the year-to-date and one-year periods. The Independent Directors took into consideration the Adviser’s explanation for the Forward ETF’s performance, including the results of macroeconomic conditions and high market volatility, as well as the performance of the biotechnology and healthcare sectors.

The Board reviewed the advisory fees and overall expenses of each Fund and discussed the difference in fees and expenses compared to other funds within each Fund’s Morningstar peer group. The Board discussed the allocation of expenses among the Funds and the manner in which each Fund bears its appropriate share of the expenses, including a unitary fee structure for the Forward ETF, and noting the relatively small size of the Small Cap Fund. Mr. Jacob discussed the Adviser’s ongoing effort to increase economies of scale to reduce fund expenses, and the plan to continue waiving the right to recoupment to achieve lower expense ratios for the Funds. The Board also noted its intention to continue to maintain the 12b-1 fees payable under the distribution and service plans of the Funds at 25 basis points, which went into effect on September 1, 2016 (for Investor Class shares), and would continue through at least January 5, 2024. The Board considered the Adviser’s efforts to negotiate reductions in Fund service provider fees while maintaining service quality levels.

With respect to the advisory fees and overall expenses of the Internet Fund, the Board considered that the Internet Fund’s advisory fees and net expense ratio (excluding 12b-1 fees) for Investor Class shares were above the median and average of its Morningstar peer group. The Board also considered the Fee Waiver Agreement and reduction in 12b-1 fees payable under the distribution and service plan of the Internet Fund, each to be continued through at least January 5, 2024. The Board discussed the competitiveness of the Fund’s advisory fees and net expense ratio (excluding 12b-1 fees) in light of the size of the Internet Fund and noted that the Internet Fund’s expenses had been subsidized by an advisory fee waiver over various periods. While noting the Internet Fund’s advisory fees and overall expenses compared to the Morningstar peer group, including percentile rankings, the Board was satisfied overall that the Adviser has taken, and is taking, actions to improve the Internet Fund’s comparative expenses.

With respect to the advisory fees and overall expenses of the Small Cap Fund, the Board considered that the Small Cap Fund’s net expense ratio (excluding 12b-1 fees) for Investor Class shares was above the median and average of its Morningstar peer group, however, the Small Cap Fund’s advisory fees were below the median and average of its Morningstar peer group. The Board also considered the Fee Waiver Agreement and reduction in 12b-1 fees payable under the distribution and service plan of the Fund, each to be continued through at least January 5, 2024. The Board discussed the competitiveness of the Small Cap Fund’s advisory fees and net expense ratio (excluding 12b-1 fees) in light of the size of the Small Cap Fund and noted that the Fund’s expenses were subsidized by an advisory fee waiver (where the Adviser will waive a portion of its advisory fees above certain expense levels) over a period of time during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. The Board was satisfied that the Adviser has taken, and is taking, actions to improve the Small Cap Fund’s comparative expenses.

With respect to the advisory fees and overall expenses of the Discovery Fund, the Board considered that the Discovery Fund’s advisory fees and net expense ratio (excluding 12b-1 fees) for Investor Class shares were above the median and average of its Morningstar peer group. The Board also considered the Fee Waiver Agreement and reduction in 12b-1 fees payable under the distribution and service plan of the Discovery Fund, each to be continued through at least January 5, 2024. The Board discussed the competitiveness of the Discovery Fund’s advisory fees and net expense ratio (excluding 12b-1 fees) in light of the size of the Discovery Fund and noted that the Discovery Fund’s expenses were subsidized by an advisory fee waiver (where the Adviser will waive a portion of its advisory fees above certain expense

levels) over a period of time during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. The Board was satisfied that the Adviser has taken, and is taking, actions to improve the Discovery Fund’s comparative expenses.

With respect to the advisory fees and overall expenses of the Forward ETF, the Board considered that the Forward ETF’s unitary fee was on par with the median and above the average of its Morningstar peer group. The Board discussed the competitiveness of the Forward ETF’s unitary fee and was satisfied with the ETF’s comparative expenses.

The Board discussed the profitability, projected revenue growth and financial viability of the Adviser; other benefits received by the Adviser in connection with the management of the Funds; the extent to which there are economies of scale in the provision of advisory services; and whether the Adviser may realize additional economies of scale in the future. The Independent Directors also considered the entrepreneurial risk undertaken by the Adviser in managing and operating the Company and the Funds and they considered the Adviser’s commitment to the continued successful operation of the Funds. In considering the various factors, the Board’s fiduciary duties to the Funds’ shareholders, and the body of law governing the approval of investment advisory agreements, the Independent Directors received assistance and advice from independent legal counsel and counsel to the Company.

Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative, and with each Independent Director not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Independent Directors concluded that (i) the Adviser demonstrated that it possessed the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreements; (ii) the compensation payable to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreements was fair and reasonable; and (iii) the compensation and other terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements were appropriate and in the best interests of each of the Funds and its shareholders.

Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program

In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), Jacob Funds Inc. (the “Trust”) has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) on behalf of each of its series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Jacob Forward ETF series is referred to herein as the “Forward ETF” and the other series of the Trust are referred to collectively as the “Mutual Funds.”

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) previously approved the designation of Jacob Asset Management of New York LLC (“JAM”) as the program administrator for the Program. As required by the Liquidity Rule, JAM provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (“HLIM”), as applicable, and any material changes to the Program (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022 (the “Review Period”).

The Report reviewed notable liquidity events and market volatility during the Review period. The Report also discussed the Program’s liquidity classification process, as applicable to the Mutual Funds, which includes input from a third-party liquidity data vendor, and reviewed the process for reporting the Funds’ liquidity classifications on Form N-PORT. In addition, the Report discussed JAM’s annual review of each Fund’s liquidity risk and key conclusions from the review.

The Report noted that each Mutual Fund primarily holds highly liquid investments and, accordingly, no Fund (including the Forward ETF that operates as an in-kind exchange-traded fund under the Liquidity Rule) established or was required to implement an HLIM during the Review Period. The Report also stated that no Fund exceeded the 15% limitation on illiquid investments during the Review Period.

In addition, the Report stated that there were no material changes made to the Program during the Review Period. The Report further stated that JAM concluded the Program operated and was effectively implemented in accordance with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule during the Review Period, and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risks.
