Dear Fellow Investors,
 
The first half of our fiscal year saw the stock market wading through a morass of Washington D.C. dysfunction-including the much-ballyhooed fiscal cliff and sequestration—yet emerging in the early part of 2013 with the major indices in fine form. The recent market rally has been mostly led by plain vanilla companies, particularly those in the auto, housing, industrial and financial sectors, that usually benefit most in a robust economy. Meanwhile, the technology sector, which normally leads in a recovery, has been a laggard for the past year or so. This somewhat upside-down situation is unlikely to last, but we can take it as a sign of health for the overall economy that the cyclical sectors most affected by the 2008 financial collapse are continuing to bounce back from their lows.
 
As any investor in our Funds knows, traditional cyclicals are not our bailiwick, and we typically maintain heavier exposure to the technology sector-this is where we tend to find the best secular growth opportunities, the keys to long-term wealth generation. Most of our Funds struggled against indices that were buoyed by their exposure to the more cyclical sectors, and we had some challenges with a few larger positions’ uneven performance. Over the course of the period, we have been reviewing our portfolios and making moves to broaden our exposure to more diverse areas of the economy.
 
Here in the early stages of the recovery, our outlook on equities remains optimistic. Stock valuations remain modest on a historical basis. The Fed is maintaining an easy money policy, making stocks attractive compared to bonds or other fixed income investments. All signs point to continued, gradual economic growth.
 
Jacob Internet Fund
 
Jacob Internet Fund returned 1.65% for the six months ended February 28, 2013, compared to the Nasdaq Composite Index, which returned 4.01%. Our lagging results were mainly caused by some of our larger positions’ weak price action, including Apple, Ellie Mae and Baidu.
 
Our large position in Apple was by far the biggest culprit as investors continued to flee. While the valuation for this peerless company never got particularly taxing, the stock’s huge run over the past few years left it vulnerable to a correction.  With concerns of slowing growth and increasing competition, investors took down the stock by about a third during this period. It’s been a painful experience, but we remain convinced that Apple’s business-and its stock - could be steady performers for quite some time.
 
On a more positive note, another long-time holding of the portfolio was able to buck the sector weakness: Yahoo. Yahoo has been an undervalued stock for a while now, but has recently roared back to life under the guidance of its new CEO. While Marissa Mayer has made small strides in improving the health of the company’s core U.S. online advertising business, she is still aggressively looking to take advantage of their depth and global reach. In the meantime, the stock’s modest valuation is more than supported by its great success in Asia, with its Alibaba Group and Yahoo Japan investments.
 
Two newcomers joined the portfolio in the period. We bought battered social and mobile game developer Zynga at a very attractive valuation as the company positions itself for a leading role in the online gambling market. We also bought popular customer review site Yelp, which has a well-established brand and a history of reviews that competitors will be hard-pressed to match.
 
Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund
 
Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund Investor Class was up 2.38% during the six months ended February 28, 2013, compared to the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 11.44%. The underperformance was mainly caused by our large positions in Amarin and Cirrus Logic, a major Apple integrated-circuits supplier.
 
Amarin’s stock fell on news that the company would go to market solo with its potential blockbuster drug Vascepa. Wall Street had been anticipating a quick sale to a major pharmaceutical company, so the news caused a significant sell-off. Despite the bumpy road, we still feel that this remains an extremely compelling stock, with the drug nearing a second FDA approval, broadening its potential market to several billion dollars, whether on its own or with a partner.

We added some new names in the period as well. Along with Zynga and Yelp (see above), we also bought Emeritus, one of the largest retirement community operators in the U.S.  As more baby boomers retire, growth is accelerating for the company, which has seen both occupancy rates and rents rise.
 
Jacob Micro Cap Growth Fund
 
Jacob Micro Cap Growth Fund Institutional Class was up 6.02%, compared to 8.15% for the Russell Microcap Growth Index for the three month period ended February 28, 2013. Technology holdings, such as software-as-a service provider LogMeIn and retailers such as Tilly’s Inc., were major drags on performance.
 
The Fund added Capital Senior Living, a retirement community operator that is growing aggressively through acquisitions. We also bought TearLab, a maker of diagnostic tools for dry eye that are being very well received by eye care practitioners.
 
We also exited some poorly performing positions. We sold mobile marketing company Velti over concerns about the company’s financial practices. We cut Glu Mobile because it became increasingly tougher for the company to monetize its portfolio of games in a crowded mobile app space. (Both Jacob Internet Fund and Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund also sold these names.)
 
Jacob Wisdom Fund
 
Our conservatively-managed Jacob Wisdom Fund returned 4.93% for the six months ended February 28, 2013, compared to the benchmark S&P 500 Index, which returned 8.95%. Our usual goal is to capture close to the performance of the S&P 500 in an up-market, while investing in companies that are much less risky. We were shy of that goal in the period for two main reasons.
 
The first reason is Apple (also addressed above). Many view Apple as a growth stock that is slowing, and, in any case, it is rare for us to own any technology stock in this portfolio. However, its recent dramatic price fall has presented us with a tremendous buying opportunity: a still-strong company with massive cash reserves, an attractive P/E multiple, (a valuation ratio of a company’s current share price to it’s per-share earnings) and now a healthy dividend yield to boot. Apple is now a top holding in the portfolio and we view it very positively for the long term.
 
The second reason is the mortgage REIT sector, which as a group accounts for about 20% of our portfolio. These stocks had a rough time in the fourth quarter of 2012, due to the market digesting the ramifications of an aggressive easy money policy. In short, the Fed’s massive program of purchasing mortgage paper negatively impacted these REITs’ profits by shrinking the spreads between the funds that they borrow and the interest that they earn (even though it also strengthens their companies’ balance sheets by boosting the value of the bonds they hold). Investors temporarily shied away from these REITs on fears that their dividends would diminish. However, from January through March, the stocks have already rebounded very nicely. Going forward, we still view the sector positively.
 
Looking at all of our Funds, we feel confident that the economic recovery is strengthening, and the environment for equities is extremely healthy. We continue to find opportunities at attractive valuations, and we are positioning each of our portfolios for long-term growth. We thank you for investing with us and look forward to a bright future together.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
 
Must be accompanied or preceded by a prospectus.
 
The opinions expressed above are those of the portfolio manager and are subject to change. Forecasts cannot be guaranteed.
 
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.  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.  Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
 
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 schedule of investments for complete fund holdings information.
 
The S&P 500 Index is a broad based unmanaged index of 500 stocks, which is widely recognized as representative of the equity market in general.  The NASDAQ Composite Index is a market capitalization weighted index that is designed to represent performance of the National Market System which includes over 5,000 stocks traded only over-the-counter and not on an exchange.  The Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of the small cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe.  It includes those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.  The Russell Microcap Growth Index measures the performance of the microcap growth segment of the U.S. Equity market. It includes those Russell Microcap Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.  It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
 
Performance data reflects fee waivers and in the absence of these waivers performance would be reduced.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 four “diversified” series, the Jacob Internet Fund (the “Internet Fund”), the Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Growth Fund”), the Jacob Micro Cap Growth Fund (the “Micro Cap Growth Fund”) and the Jacob Wisdom Fund (the “Wisdom 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 the Small Cap Growth Fund and Micro Cap Growth Fund is long-term growth of capital. The primary investment objective of the Wisdom Fund is to maximize total investment return consisting of a combination of income and capital appreciation. The Internet Fund commenced operations on December 14, 1999. 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 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 formerly of the PineBridge US Small Cap Growth Fund series of Jacob Funds II formerly the PineBridge Mutual Funds (the “Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund”). The Micro Cap Growth Fund (formerly, PineBridge US Micro Cap Growth Fund) series of Jacob Funds II (formerly, PineBridge Mutual Funds) (the “Predecessor Micro Cap Growth Fund”) was reorganized into the Micro Cap Growth Fund on November 12, 2012. The Jacob Wisdom Fund commenced operations when it acquired the assets and liabilities of the Wisdom Fund on February 18, 2010 in a reorganization transaction (the Jacob Wisdom Fund is the successor fund to the Wisdom Fund).
 
The Internet Fund and Wisdom Fund currently offer Investor Class shares. The Small Cap Growth Fund and Micro Cap Growth Fund currently offer Investor Class and Institutional Class shares. Each share of each class of Funds represent 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. Investor Class shareholders may be charged a redemption fee of 2% if the shares are redeemed within 30 days of initial investment.
 
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”).
 
(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. Debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term securities with 60

JACOB FUNDS INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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.  Where market quotations are not readily available, are unreliable or when values have been materially affected by events occurring before the close of U.S. markets but after the close of the securities’ primary markets, securities are valued at fair value using procedures approved by the Board of Directors that are designed to determine a security’s fair value.
 
The Funds adhere to fair valuation accounting standards which provides an authoritative definition of fair value and sets 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.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” in GAAP and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This requirement amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRS. This requirement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Funds have disclosed the applicable requirements of this accounting standard in their financial statements.
 
In preparing these financial statements, the Corporation has evaluated events after February 28, 2013 and determined that there were no significant subsequent events that would require adjustment to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

(b) Income Recognition—Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. All discounts and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method for tax and financial reporting purposes.
 
(c) Expenses—Expenses that are not attributable to a particular Fund are typically allocated in proportion to each Fund’s respective net assets.
 
(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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 February 28, 2013. As a result, the Funds have not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of February 28, 2013. 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. Major jurisdictions for the Funds only relate to federal tax years. As of February 28, 2013, open federal tax years include the tax years ended August 31, 2009 through August 31, 2012 for the Internet Fund, the tax years ended September 30, 2009, period ended August 31, 2010, year ended August 31, 2011 and year ended August 31, 2012 for the Small Cap Growth Fund, tax years ended November 30, 2009 through November 30, 2012 for the Micro Cap Growth Fund, and the tax years ended May 31, 2009 through May 31, 2010, period ended August 31, 2010, year ended August 31, 2011 and year ended August 31, 2012 for the Wisdom Fund.
 
At August 31, 2012 the Internet Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund deferred, on a tax basis, Post October losses of $1,183,273 and $274,746, respectively and the Internet Fund deferred, on a tax basis, Post December Ordinary losses of $578,111.

(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.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as transfer agent, administrator and accounting services agent for the Funds. U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as custodian for the Funds. U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. serves as the securities lending agent.
 
NOTE 7—SECURITIES LENDING
 
The Funds may lend portfolio securities equal in value to up to 33% of their total assets (including such loans) to borrowers under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. The Agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the market value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest.
 
The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the types of security, length of the loan and credit standing of the borrower. The Funds continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. received no income from the Internet Fund for its securities lending administrative services during the six months ended February 28, 2013. The Small Cap Growth Fund, Micro Cap Growth Fund and Wisdom Fund did not participate in securities lending during the periods ended February 28, 2013.
 
As of February 28, 2013, the Internet Fund had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash proceeds that the borrower paid to the Internet Fund. The cash collateral is invested by the custodian with the approval of the Adviser. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral and by an indemnification by the securities lending agent, the Internet Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. The Internet Fund is also exposed to market risk on the investments it purchases with the proceeds of the cash collateral. As of February 28, 2013, the value of the Internet Fund’s securities on loan was $1,668,894. The cost of the related collateral was $643,686 and the fair value of the investments purchased was $151,541 resulting in unrealized depreciation of $492,145 as of February 28, 2013. An amount of $1,088,427 of the collateral was not invested and held in cash.  For the six months ended February 28, 2013, the Internet Fund experienced $28,256 of unrealized gains on the investments it purchased with proceeds of the cash collateral.

NOTE 8—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. The Internet Fund incurred $66,210 in expenses pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan for the six months ended February 28, 2013.
 
The Corporation, on behalf of the Small Cap Growth Fund, Micro Cap Growth Fund and Wisdom 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 permitted by Rule 12b-1. Pursuant to the Plan, the Small Cap Growth Fund, Micro Cap Growth Fund and Wisdom 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 on an annual basis. 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 $10,803, the Micro Cap Growth Fund incurred $3,591 and the Wisdom Fund incurred $18,489 in expenses pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan for the periods ended February 28, 2013.
 
NOTE 9—FUND REORGANIZATION
 
On November 9, 2012 the shareholders of the Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Reorganization Plan”), which qualified as a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes, providing the transfer of assets and the assumption of liabilities of the Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund to the Small Cap Growth Fund, series of the Corporation. The Reorganization Plan provided for the acquisition by the Small Cap Growth Fund of all of the assets of the Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund in exchange solely for the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund and the issuance of shares of the newly created Small Cap Growth Fund distributed pro rata by the Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund to its shareholders in complete liquidation and termination of the Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund. Class I and Class R shares of the Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund were reorganized into Institutional Class and Investor Class shares of the Small Cap Growth Fund, respectively. Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan, each shareholder of the Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund received shares of the Small Cap Growth Fund proportionate in value to the shares the shareholder had immediately prior to the Reorganization. On November 12, 2012, the reorganization was completed and the Predecessor Small Cap Growth Fund had $260,159 of unrealized appreciation on that date.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
 


For the Period Ended February 28, 2013 for the Internet Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Micro Cap Growth Fund and Wisdom Fund
 
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 assess a redemption fee of 2% on Investor Class 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. 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 (9/1/2012–2/28/2013) for the Internet Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Micro Cap Growth Fund and Wisdom Fund.
 
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 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, 2012, the Board of Directors, including all of the independent Directors, considered and approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements between Jacob Funds Inc., on behalf of the Jacob Internet Fund, Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund, and Jacob Wisdom Fund (for purposes of this section only, the “Funds”), and Jacob Asset Management of New York LLC (the “Adviser”) for an additional year. In reaching this decision, the Board took into account a combination of factors, including the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser; each Fund’s performance; each Fund’s fees and expenses; the costs of the services to be provided and the profits realized by the Adviser; and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow. The Board noted that at its July 2012 meeting it had reviewed the advisory functions performed by the Adviser for the Jacob Micro Cap Growth 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.
 
In evaluating the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board considered the experience and capabilities of the portfolio managers and research team dedicated to the continued management of the Funds.  The Board concluded that the services provided by the Adviser were sufficient and beneficial to the Funds, as evidenced by the Funds’ performance records over varying periods, and consistent with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements.
 
The Board also reviewed the Adviser’s financial condition and the economics associated with the advisory fees, as well as the Adviser’s contractual fee waiver commitment for the Funds. The Board concluded that the Adviser had the appropriate resources to continue managing the Funds and was dedicating sufficient resources to the operation and management of the Funds. In view of the relatively smaller sizes of the Funds, and the ongoing subsidies of operating expenses by the Adviser, the Board did not focus on the Adviser’s profitability and possible economies of scale that could benefit shareholders, as consideration of these would be premature.
 
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 peer group. The Board discussed the allocation of expenses among the Funds and the Jacob Micro Cap Growth Fund and the manner in which each Fund bears its appropriate share of the expenses.
 
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 counsel. Based upon its review of such material and information, together with such other information as it deemed relevant, the Board, including a majority of the independent Directors, concluded that the Adviser had demonstrated the capability and resources to perform the duties required under the Investment Advisory Agreements, the compensation proposed to be payable to the Adviser was fair and reasonable, and approval of the Investment Advisory Agreements were appropriate and in the best interest of  the Funds and their shareholders.
