Dear Fellow Investors,
 
The past six months have been an extremely difficult time for the broader market, and for our Fund as well. From September 1, 2007 through February 29, 2008, our fund was down 14.05%, placing us squarely between our two benchmarks — Bloomberg US Internet Index was down 15.80% and the Nasdaq Composite was down 12.17%.
 
In the last months of 2007, the stocks that held up the best in our portfolio were large growth names, such as Google and Apple. Additionally, our Chinese holdings performed exceptionally well. The value portion of our portfolio proved to be a drag on our results, as that segment of the market performed poorly. Last fall, we trimmed small caps, which were bearing the brunt of investors’ flight to safety.
 
Since January, our strategy has changed. We’ve become more pessimistic about the broader economic outlook and we think the analyst community has not adequately lowered expectations for some of the larger names. Due to these concerns, we decided to trim positions in large caps, such as Google. While this stock performed well last year, we are concerned about data that shows potential weakness in their business. It’s still a very attractive company for the long term, but for now, it’s now a mid-sized position for us.
 
We are shifting the balance toward small and mid-cap names in niches that could benefit from secular trends. Take-Two Interactive Software has been one of our best performers. We increased our position when the stock price was unusually low due to management turmoil at the company, and when the release of a major franchise game — expected over the holiday season — was delayed until April. Earlier this year, Electronic Arts made a play for the company.
 
Every rule has an exception though, and in our case, we did add to one large cap position: EBay. The stock had been depressed due to a management change, and we thought it was very cheap for a quality Internet company. The company has recently enjoyed an increase in listings following a change to its fee structure, and has also benefited from the weak dollar.
 
As we continue to push through a difficult short-term market environment, we once again thank the Fund’s shareholders for your investments. We look forward to a bright future together.

The opinions expressed above are those of the portfolio manager and are subject to change. Forecasts cannot be guaranteed.
 
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods.

JACOB INTERNET FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 29, 2008 (Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF FUND
 
Jacob Internet Fund 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 one “diversified” series, the Jacob Internet Fund (the “Fund”) and the authorized capital stock of the Fund 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 Fund is long-term growth of capital with current income as a secondary objective. The Fund commenced operations on December 14, 1999.
 
NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
 
(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 sixty 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 the Fund if acquired within 60 days of maturity or, if already held by the 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 whose 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.
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 157 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

JACOB INTERNET FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
February 29, 2008 (Unaudited)
 
(b) Repurchase Agreements—The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with member banks of the Federal Reserve System and with broker-dealers who are recognized as primary dealers in U.S. government securities by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Repurchase agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price and an agreed-upon time. Because the security purchased constitutes collateral for the repurchase obligation, a repurchase agreement may be considered a loan that is collateralized by the security purchased. Although the securities subject to the repurchase agreement might bear maturities exceeding one year, settlement for the repurchase would never be more than 397 days after the Fund’s acquisition of the securities and normally would be within a shorter period of time. The resale price of the security back to the original seller will be in excess of the purchase price, reflecting an agreed upon market rate effective for the period of time the Fund’s money will be invested in the security, and will not be related to the coupon rate of the purchased security. In the event that the repurchase agreement is held for more than one day, the security serving as collateral for the repurchase agreement will be marked-to-market daily to ensure that the value of the collateral does not decrease below the purchase price, plus accrued interest. If a decrease occurs, the seller will provide additional collateral to add to the account to maintain appropriate collateralization.
 
The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. One risk is the seller’s ability to pay the agreed upon repurchase price on the repurchase date. If the seller defaults, the Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral, which would reduce the amount realized thereon. If the seller seeks relief under the bankruptcy laws, the disposition of the collateral may be delayed or limited. Delays may result in possible decline in the value of the underlying security while the Fund seeks its rights thereto, possible lack of access to income on the underlying security during the delayed period, and expenses in enforcing the Fund’s rights.
 
(c) 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.
 
(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 Fund does 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.

February 29, 2008 (Unaudited)
 
 
(f) Distributions to Shareholders—The Fund records 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 at least 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 Fund complies with provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of substantially all of the Fund’s taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary in the financial statements.
 
Effective February 29, 2008 the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” a clarification of FASB Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.
 
(h) Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of 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.

To the extent the Fund realizes future net capital gains, taxable distributions to its shareholders will be offset by any unused capital loss carryover. For the year ended August 31, 2007 the Fund utilized $11,172,604 in capital loss carryover. At August 31, 2007, the Fund had net realized losses from transactions related to foreign currency translations between November 1, 2006 and August 31, 2007 of $563, which is deferred for tax purposes and will be recognized on September 1, 2007.
 
The Fund paid $1,819,561 out of ordinary income during the six months ended February 29, 2008 and paid $1,145,833 out of ordinary income during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007.
 
NOTE 5—INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
 
The Corporation has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Jacob Asset Management of New York LLC (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and Directors of the Board are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, compensates the Adviser for its management services based on an annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
 
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as transfer agent, administrator and accounting services agent for the Fund. U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as custodian for the Fund. U.S. Bancorp Asset Management serves as the securities lending agent.
 
NOTE 6—SECURITIES LENDING
 
The Fund may lend portfolio securities up to 33% of its total assets (including such loans) to borrowers under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by U.S. Bancorp Asset Management. The


15


 

 
JACOB INTERNET FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
February 29, 2008 (Unaudited)
 
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 Fund receives compensation in the form of fees and earns 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 Fund continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. The Fund has the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. U.S. Bancorp Asset Management received $50,850 from the Fund for its securities lending administrative services during the six months ended February 29, 2008.
 
As of February 29, 2008, the Fund had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash equivalents. The cash collateral is invested by the custodian with the approval of the Adviser. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the 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. As of February 29, 2008, the value of the Fund’s securities on loan was $4,858,031 and the contractual value of the related collateral was $4,966,554, excluding $263,928 of unrealized depreciation.
 
NOTE 7—DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN
 
The Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will compensate the Adviser up to 0.25% per annum of the 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 Fund for providing servicing to their clients (“Shareholder Servicing Fee”). The Adviser had contractually agreed to waive 0.10% of the Shareholder Servicing Fee through December 31, 2007. For the six months ended February 29, 2008, expenses of $26,049 were waived by the Adviser. The Plan also provides for a distribution fee equal to 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on an annual basis (“Asset Based Sales Charge”). The fee is used to compensate Quasar Distributors, LLC, the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”) for basic distribution services, out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities to sell 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 Fund shareholders for providing distribution assistance and promotional support to the Fund. Remaining amounts of the Asset Based Sales Charge may be used to satisfy distribution costs as directed by the Adviser. The Fund incurred $124,928 in expenses pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan for the six months ended February 29, 2008. At February 29, 2008, $24,967 of the Shareholder Servicing Fee was available for eligible 12b-1 expenses.

JACOB INTERNET FUND
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON FUND EXPENSES
 
For the Six Months Ended February 29, 2008
 
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 Fund does not currently charge sales charges (loads) or exchange fees. The Fund assesses 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 Fund charges management fees and distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees. The Example reflects the 0.10% waiver of distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees by the Adviser for the period from 9/1/07–2/29/08. The Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 (9/1/07–2/29/08).
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table below provides information about account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. Although the Fund charges no sales load, the Fund charges 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 Fund’s transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently the Fund’s 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 the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund 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

JACOB INTERNET FUND
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement
 
At an in-person meeting held October 19, 2007, the Board, including each of the Independent Directors, approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. In reaching this decision, the Board took into account a combination of factors, including the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser, the Fund’s performance, and Fund expenses. The Board did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and this summary does not detail all the matters considered.
 
In evaluating the Fund’s performance, the Board discussed the Fund’s performance relative to the peers to which the Fund had been comparing itself at each Board meeting for the past several years. The Independent Directors noted that the Fund had underperformed in the short-term, but that the Fund has been one of the top performing Science & Technology Funds as determined by Morningstar during the last five years. The Board also considered the Adviser’s quarterly commentary at the Board meetings and intermittent updates, which confirmed a disciplined application of the investment process and the Adviser’s adherence to the objectives of the Fund.
 
The Independent Directors reviewed and compared expenses of the Fund to expenses within the Lipper category of Science and Technology Funds, as well as to the expenses of the individual funds within the Fund’s peer group. They noted that while the Fund’s investment advisory fee was somewhat higher than these Lipper peers, the fee was reasonable relative to the Adviser’s expertise in the Internet sector. The Independent Directors also reviewed and considered information presented at the meeting regarding the total expense ratio of the Fund relative to peer mutual funds. They noted that the Fund’s expenses were within a reasonable range and continued to decline over the last fiscal year. The Board next discussed some inherent advantages of some of the peers that were part of large fund families and noted the economies of scale that were afforded to those funds.
 
The Board next reviewed the Adviser’s profitability, including gross fees paid to the Adviser for investment advisory services to the Fund and profit participation of the Adviser’s partners. Based on the Adviser’s profitability, the Board accepted that the Adviser was not experiencing economies of scale at the Fund’s current asset levels. The Board also discussed the possibility of fee breakpoints and the Adviser continued to be agreeable to fee breakpoints if economies of scale were achieved.
 
The Board reviewed and considered the nature and quality of the services provided to the Fund. The Board noted that they believed that the investment team was experienced and capable of producing above average investment returns. The Board noted that they believed that the investment team was one of the most-experienced with respect to the Internet sector and that the Fund and its shareholders had benefited from the attention and expertise of these individuals. The Independent Directors also considered the other services to the Fund provided by the Adviser including the compliance functions through the Chief Compliance Officer and the oversight of the Fund’s service providers. They also noted that the Adviser performs many of the marketing functions for the Fund.
 
In considering these factors as well as a review of the Adviser’s Form ADV and the Adviser’s response to the Board’s request for information, the independent Board members received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent counsel. Based upon its review of such material and information together with


19

such other information as it deemed relevant, the Board, including a majority of independent Directors, concluded that the fee payable under the Advisory Agreement was reasonable and that continuance of the Advisory Agreement was appropriate and in the best interest of Fund shareholders.
