LETTER FROM THE MANAGER (Unaudited)

Dear Fellow Investors,

This past fiscal year began with more uncertainty than usual as the Federal Reserve ("Fed") embarked on an aggressive strategy to increase interest rates to combat rising inflation. Most of the debate around how long higher prices would continue post-COVID was put aside as it became clearer that Fed action would be necessary. Many economists proceeded to forecast a recession as the yield curve quickly became inverted. After many months of solid economic data, stock indexes eventually began to rebound in 2023, and since then have been in a relative holding pattern. During this period, a default position for many was to stick with the largest growth companies that would be insulated from most issues that would arise from higher rates or any economic slowdown that ensued. This strategy resulted in one of the narrowest market advances we have experienced in several decades, with the weightings in the top positions in most major stock indices far exceeding record levels (the Nasdaq even had to recalibrate its own large-cap market index to reduce concentration risk). More recently, while consumer spending data continues to be resilient and employment levels remain healthy, there are other signs that the lag effect of the aggressive rate hikes may finally be starting to take hold. This uncertainty, in addition to soaring yields and higher energy prices, has caused even more angst among investors.

As for the Funds, our decision to shift to smaller cap holdings did not help as investors became increasingly worried about an economic slowdown. Ironically, our expectation for this year has always been that higher long-term interest rates would be likely, but that the result would be a pivot away from the largest names that have done so well in recent years. This belief, combined with an increasing valuation discrepancy between large- and small-cap stocks, had us leaning into smaller growth opportunities even more. Although our timing has admittedly been off in this regard, we are still confident that if the Fed is truly done with rate hikes and the economy manages to avert a deep recession, the conditions are in place for the smaller cap companies we favor to significantly outperform.

Jacob Internet Fund

The Jacob Internet Fund – Investor Class was down 11.16% for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2023, while the NASDAQ Composite Index rose 19.85%. Most of this underperformance occurred over the last several months as a handful of the largest companies in the NASDAQ Composite Index surged, allowing the index to rebound back into positive territory. Small-cap stocks, especially small-cap technology companies, were unable to keep pace.

By far, the stock that had the most outsized negative effect on our performance in the fiscal period was the bitcoin bank and service provider Silvergate Capital Corp., down over 93%. Mired in a combination of turmoil in the crypto market with poor balance sheet management, Silvergate Capital Corp. found itself in a hopeless situation in which they had too many losses to absorb from necessary sales of long-dated treasuries (a precursor to the mini-banking crisis broadly felt only a few months later). Although we managed to exit the position before their shutdown and liquidation, Silvergate Capital Corp. still accounted for over half the fund’s losses in the fiscal period. The next worst-performing name in the fund was the audience measurement company comScore, Inc., down over 67% in the period. While new management refined operations and launched some intriguing new initiatives, the company is still hobbled by an onerous preferred stock holding that we are confident at some point will be rectified. Porch Group, Inc., provider of various services for the recent home buyer, was down more than 60% in the period. In many ways they have executed well in a difficult real estate market but have suffered as their insurance subsidiary has been hit with quarter after quarter of losses due mainly to weather-related issues. They have addressed this by announcing a plan to start a reciprocal exchange to get the insurance business off their books, acting solely in an agent capacity. We anticipate this to happen by year end and believe that the stock will rebound once completed. Digital Turbine, Inc., the online ad tech company, was down over 51% in the period. Succumbing to broader industry pressures, Digital Turbine, Inc. finally guided to lower results, reflecting the realities of a difficult online ad market as well as its own challenges in integrating recently acquired assets. We are still hopeful that their Single Tap initiative will start to contribute meaningfully to their financial results as many large social media companies are close to rolling out its widespread use.

Thankfully, we also had several significant positive performers that defied the general weakness in small caps and contributed positively to the fund’s performance. The best-performing stock in the period was DraftKings, Inc., up over 84% in the period. As more states approve sports gambling, DraftKings, Inc. has shown their skill in growing their customer base in an increasingly efficient manner. Where many investors were afraid that endless marketing spending would hinder their ability to ever be profitable, DraftKings, Inc. has recently become cash flow positive and cemented their position as one of likely only a few long-term winners in this lucrative

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER (Unaudited) (Continued)

business. Rover Group, Inc., the online pet services provider, was up more than 77% in the period. Benefitting from post-Covid trends of more consumer travel and the gradual return to the office for pet owners, Rover Group, Inc. has seen a nice rebound in demand and revenue growth. We’ve been particularly impressed with their continued international expansion, which has not come easy for most other online service companies. Zillow Group, Inc., the dominant online real-estate portal, deftly exited their iBuying business before transaction activity slowed, which helped boost margins considerably as a result. That decision, as well as impressive cost management, led to a gain of over 55% in the period despite a challenging overall environment for real estate. Finally, we had two small acquisitions in the fiscal year, Poshmark, Inc. and Cvent Holding Corp., which were up 65% and 55%, respectively in the period.

Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund

The Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund – Investor Class was down 3.60% through August 31, 2023, while the Russell 2000 Growth Index rose 6.78%. As we outline earlier, by far the biggest contribution to our underperformance was the broad decline in the smallest stocks that our strategies tend to favor.

As with the Internet Fund, Silvergate Capital Corp. was by far the largest contributor to our negative performance, down over 93% in the period. After Silvergate Capital Corp., Codexis, Inc., a developer of biocatalysts and enzymes, mainly for the pharmaceutical industry, was down over 75% in the period. Poor results after their success producing Paxlovid for Pfizer led to a management change and complete refocusing of their business. Subsequently, we reduced our position and are likely to exit the remaining balance as it will take several years to make this pivot, and we are not as confident in their ultimate success. Precision BioSciences, Inc., down over 71% in the period, also went through a major corporate restructuring, exiting its CAR-T oncology development with a license deal with Imugene to focus its resources on its gene editing franchise. While this change makes sense given their limited resources, investors have generally shied away from companies that have extended development paths. Amyris, Inc., down over 68% in the period, was unable to sufficiently monetize their internally developed molecules and, after we exited our position, filed for bankruptcy protection. While having some modest success developing and marketing their own beauty brands, it was not enough to overcome a heavy debt load and a need for additional capital.

The best performers in the fiscal period were mostly in the healthcare sector, with the leader by far being the acquisition of Akous by Eli Lilly, up over 293% in the period. Ideaya BioSciences, Inc., a cancer drug developer, showed very promising trial results in their lead drug for the treatment of uveal melanoma and was up over 198% in the period. Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., up over 116% in the period, helped their funding needs by signing agreements with major Australian and Japanese drug companies (CSL and Meiji) to utilize their proprietary mRNA platform. Finally, one of the Fund’s largest holdings and biggest positive contributor was Alphatec Holdings, Inc., up over 115% in the period. Impressive growth has continued since the end of Covid as new procedures drove adoption by back surgeons to utilize more of their products, and helped the company gain meaningful market share from larger competitors.

Jacob Discovery Fund

The Jacob Discovery Fund – Investor Class was down 6.07% for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2023, while the Russell Microcap Growth Index declined 4.96%. This was a year where being small was not a good thing, and the smaller you were, the worse it was. So, on the one hand, it’s positive that the Fund, whose portfolio has one of the smallest average market caps in the small cap universe, slightly outperformed our benchmark. However, we certainly had our share of missteps, even if it is very difficult to point to company-specific news that caused the weakness in most of our bottom-performing names.

Many of our best-performing names during the year were early-stage biotech stocks, but our heavy exposure in this area was undoubtedly an overall net negative, as rising interest rates and a constrained capital market kept the focus on balance sheets. We believed coming into the year that larger pharmaceutical companies, flush with a lot of cash, facing numerous patent expirations and generally weak pipelines, would take advantage of the market weakness and dramatically increase the amount of M&A in the sector. While the number of deals and total transaction volumes have increased nicely in the past 12 months, frankly, we expected more.

That said, we did benefit from some of that increased activity, such as when our best performer Akouos, Inc., a gene therapy developer for rare ear diseases, was up 293% during the period. The self-amplifying mRNA pioneer Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings,

JACOB FUNDS INC.

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER (Unaudited) (Continued)

Inc. was up 116% for the period, and inked a large financial partnership with a major Australia-based vaccine manufacturer that will allow the company to deliver commercialized product much faster than expected and help fund the development of the company’s earlier-stage pipeline. Meanwhile, Harrow Health, Inc., up 69% for the year, took the opposite side of the M&A story, and was an opportunistic acquirer during the year, picking up numerous orphaned assets from larger companies on the cheap, positioning itself for an exciting future as one of the leading ophthalmological drug companies.

While we have sold out of or dramatically reduced position sizes in biotech names that are going to need to repeatedly access the capital markets to get to profitability – including some of our worst performers for the period, like Athersys, Inc., down 73%, and DermTech, Inc., down 43% - we still believe that several of our beaten-down biotech holdings will prove to be attractive assets that will benefit from continued heightened M&A in the sector. In that vein, we have also recently been adding to names of drug companies that have commercialized products but are struggling to gain scale.

In technology, it was a similar mixed bag, with more winners than one might expect given the market environment and the Fund’s overall performance. On the positive side of the ledger, cash flow positive companies that benefitted from a rebound out of Covid – such as pet care marketplace Rover Group, Inc., up 78%, or casino game manufacturer Inspired Entertainment, Inc., up 26%, or cashless vending technology developer Cantaloupe, Inc., up 24% did well during the year. But as in biotech, technology companies that weren’t yet profitable and/or had problematic balance sheets, fared much worse. comScore, Inc., for instance was down almost 68% in the period, despite having a much-improved management team, and we mentioned earlier, a balance sheet that includes significant obligations to the company’s preferred shareholders. Other technology names that disappointed during the year included some previous big winners for the Fund, such as OptimizeRx Corp., which was down 46% on the year after it had trouble repeating earlier growth for its health care marketing messaging technology; and Identiv, Inc., which was down 45% on the year after seeing some of its innovative RFID projects get delayed.

Jacob Forward ETF

The Jacob Forward ETF at market price was down 7.12% for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2023, while the S&P 500 Index rose 15.94%. As we outlined in the beginning of this letter, it is not surprising that a large-cap diversified index like the S&P 500 would outperform during difficult market conditions where many investors continue to shy away from the smaller, more aggressive growth companies we favor.

As the Jacob 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 abovementioned holdings. Silvergate Capital Corp., Codexis, Inc. and Amaris, Inc. had the biggest declines in the period, down 93%, 75% and 68%, respectively. Ideaya Biosciences, Inc., Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. and Alphatec Holdings, Inc. were the top performers in the period, up 198%, 116% and 115% respectively. Please refer to above for additional commentary on each.

In terms of looking ahead, we remain on the lookout for high-quality, high-growth names that have been beaten down and/or ignored by a market seemingly only interested in the safest and largest of companies. Even in such an environment, we believe there will continue to be opportunities to invest in attractive, early-stage companies with bright futures, trading at extremely reasonable valuations. 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.

The opinions expressed above are those of the portfolio manager and are subject to change at any time. Forecasts cannot be guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 31, 2023

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 Discovery Fund commenced operations on November 12, 2012 when it acquired the assets and liabilities of the Jacob Micro Cap Growth Fund (formerly, PineBridge US Micro Cap Growth Fund) series of Jacob Funds II (the "Predecessor Micro Cap Growth Fund") in a reorganization transaction (the Discovery Fund is the successor fund to the Predecessor Micro Cap Growth Fund). The Forward ETF commenced operations on July 13, 2021.

The Internet Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and Discovery Fund currently offer Investor Class and Institutional Class shares. The Forward ETF currently offers one class of shares. Each share of each class of a Fund represents an equal pro rata interest in such Fund and provides the shareholder the same voting, dividend, and other rights, except that shareholders of each class of a Fund have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that particular class.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

	(b) Income Recognition—Interest and securities lending income are 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, 2023. As a result, the Funds have not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of August 31, 2023. 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, 2023, open federal tax years include the tax years ended August 31, 2020 through August 31, 2022.

	(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 generally expects the risk of loss to be remote. Please see Note 10 relative to certain Adviser Obligations specific to Forward ETF.

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.

At August 31, 2023, the components of accumulated earnings/(losses) on a tax basis for the Funds were as follows:

	Fund			Growth Fund			Fund			ETF
Cost of Investments	$	53,451,047		$	7,427,937		$	34,391,574		$	4,369,799

The differences between cost amounts for book purposes and tax purposes are primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and tax adjustments on Passive Foreign Investment Companies ("PFICs"). At August 31, 2023, the Internet Fund had $589,870 in short-term capital loss carryovers and $9,033,689 in long-term capital loss carryovers which are non-expiring, the Small Cap Growth Fund had $753,813 in short-term capital loss carryovers and $1,524,977 in long-term capital loss carryovers which are non-expiring, the Discovery Fund had $5,487,034 in short-term capital loss carryovers and $13,291,609 in long-term capital loss carryovers which are non-expiring, and the Forward ETF had $1,031,114 in short-term capital loss carryovers and $1,498,880 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, 2023, the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, no Funds had deferred, on a tax basis, any post-October losses.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, 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
$680,928	$146,687	$307,342	$8,469

Reclassification Adjustments: Capital stock and accumulated losses (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 and in-kind gain (loss) for the Forward ETF. 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, 2023, reclassifications were recorded as follows:

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.

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 fiscal year ended August 31, 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 fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, fees of $63,547 were waived by the Adviser with respect to the Small Cap Growth Fund.

Effective December 29, 2016, 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 2.30% and 2.00% 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 fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, fees of $75,376 were waived by the Adviser with respect to the Discovery Fund. The amounts below are eligible for recoupment by the Adviser, however, the Adviser has not begun recouping as of August 31, 2023.

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 Investor Class shares 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

JACOB FUNDS INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

August 31, 2023

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 Investor Class shares 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 $131,251 in expenses pursuant to the Internet Fund Plan for the fiscal year ended August 31, 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 $8,232 and the Discovery Fund incurred $41,786 in expenses pursuant to the Plan for the fiscal year ended August 31, 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 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

JACOB FUNDS INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

August 31, 2023

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—SECURITIES LENDING

The Funds may lend up to 33 1/3% of the securities in its portfolios to brokers, dealers, and other financial organizations that meet capital and other credit requirements under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by U.S. Bank N.A. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% (for loans of U.S. securities) or 105% (for loans of foreign securities) of the market value of the securities loaned. The Fund has the right under the terms of the lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.

The borrower of any securities will pay the Funds any accrued income while the securities are on loan. The cash collateral received is invested in a money market fund which is redeemable on demand.

There are certain risks associated with securities lending, including the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities on a timely basis or even the loss of rights in the collateral deposited by the borrower, if the borrower should fail financially. As a result, the Funds may lose money.

The Fund manages credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral agreements with third party borrowers that provide the Funds, in the event of default (such as bankruptcy or a borrower’s failure to pay or perform), the right to net a third party borrower’s rights and obligations under such agreement and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty.

As of August 31, 2023, the following Funds had equity securities on loan which are presented gross on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:

	Market value		Collateral value
Small Cap Growth Fund	$	29,997	$	29,997
Discovery Fund		1,295,661		1,295,661
Forward ETF		11,413		11,413

The fees and interest income earned through the securities lending program are reflected in the Statement of Operations. The collateral value pledged from the counterparty as of the end of the reporting period exceed the value of securities out on loan.

NOTE 10—ADVISOR OBLIGATIONS

Under the Advisory Agreement for the Forward ETF, pursuant to a "unified fee" arrangement, the Adviser is responsible for paying the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit, and other services, as well as independent Board member compensation and expenses; while the Forward ETF bears the cost of the management fee paid to the Adviser, payments under the Forward ETF’s Rule 12b-1 plan under the 1940 Act (as applicable), brokerage commissions and other expenses incidental to transactions in portfolio securities or instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes (including accrued deferred tax liability), interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short and overdraft charges),

JACOB FUNDS INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

August 31, 2023

litigation expenses (including litigation to which the Corporation or Forward ETF may be a party and indemnification of the Directors and officers with respect thereto), and other extraordinary or non-routine expenses (including expenses arising from mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions involving Forward ETF).

As of August 31, 2023, the Adviser has past-due expenses due to certain service providers of approximately $94,000 under the Forward ETF’s unified fee arrangement, however, the Advisor expects to be able to fulfill those obligations. The Adviser has reviewed and discussed with the Board the cash flow requirements for the Adviser’s past and ongoing operating expenses under the Forward ETF’s unified fee arrangements.

If the Adviser is unable to pay the Forward ETF’s ordinary operating expenses pursuant to this arrangement (i.e., expenses that are past due and future expenses), such non-payment could have a material adverse effect on the operations of Forward ETF. As a result, the Board may determine that it is in the best interest of the Forward ETF’s shareholders to appoint a new investment adviser, seek to adopt a voluntary plan of liquidation, and/or take any other action that the Board deems to be in the best interest of the shareholders.

NOTE 11—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2023, the results of their operations, the changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights for the years or periods ended August 31, 2022, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 27, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2023.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

For the Six Months Ended August 31, 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 (3/1/2023–8/31/2023) 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.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.

Registrant	$0	$0
Registrant’s Investment Adviser	$0	$0

(h) The audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.

The registrant has not been identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or completely investigate because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.
