I frequently travel to New York and have walked the streets that are now lined with debris of the World Trade Center. The attack that was launched on the United States on September 11 impacts us both professionally and personally. While many of us are not in close proximity to New York or Washington, the blows that were dealt in those locations are certainly felt by all of us across the country and the civilized world. We join with all of you in offering our prayers for the families and friends of the people killed in these attacks and to the heroes who sacrificed their lives attempting to save others. We also wish a speedy recovery to the survivors. The firms that we have business relationships with are functional and have backup operations off site. The individuals and their families with whom we work are all safe. Because of the timing of our fund's fiscal year, we are required to send you this initial report on operations. Given the recent commencement date of the Fund, and the very brief time covered by this report, we think it is premature to provide a report on performance for these initial weeks. However, we believe our investment strategies should position us well both during the period of uncertainty that is likely to continue until the financial markets understand the nature of the "war on terrorism" to which the United States and most of the civilized world has committed and over the long term thereafter. We will continue to monitor the movements of capital and their effects as we strive to position the Fund's portfolio to achieve your investment objectives. In the meantime, if you have any questions about your investment in the Fund, please don't hesitate to call us. Thank you again for your investment. God bless America! John M.

The Fund began operations on June 6, 2001. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek income and growth of capital, consistent with preservation of capital. NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. A. SECURITY VALUATION: The Fund's investments are carried at fair value. Securities that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter ("OTC") securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ National Market System shall be valued at the most recent trade price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, if any, are valued following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Options on securities that are listed on an exchange shall be valued at the last sales price at the close of trading on such exchange or, if there was no sale on the applicable options exchange on such day, at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices as of the close of such exchange. Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. B. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. 22 JACOBS & COMPANY MUTUAL FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which differs from generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax treatment. D. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES For the period from June 6, 2001 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2001, Jacobs & Company (the "Advisor") provided the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor furnished all investment advice, office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.00% based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the period from June 6, 2001 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2001. the Fund incurred $2,128 in Advisory Fees. The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Fund and to pay Fund operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Fund's aggregate annual operating expenses to 2.00% of average net assets (the "expense cap"). Any such reduction made by the Advisor in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Fund's obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Advisor, if so requested by the Advisor, in subsequent fiscal years if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the applicable 23 JACOBS & COMPANY MUTUAL FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- limitation on Fund expenses. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed only for fee reductions and expense payments made in the previous three fiscal years, but is permitted to look back five years and four years, respectively, during the initial six years and seventh year of the Fund's operations. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of Trustees review and approval at the time the reimbursement is made. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to the Fund's payment of current ordinary operating expenses. For the period from June 6, 2001 (commencement of operations) through July 31, 2001, the Advisor reduced its fees by $2,128 and absorbed expenses of $49,398; no amounts were reimbursed to the Advisor.
