JACOB FUNDS INC.
LETTER FROM THE MANAGER (Unaudited)


Dear Fellow Investors,
 
We started the recent fiscal period with some understandable optimism, considering the rise in most market indices from their June lows. This feeling ended up being short lived as it became clear that the Federal Reserve was sending a more strident message that it would be aggressively raising rates to combat inflation. This somewhat surprising tone contributed to a sharp market reversal into the fall, and with it more uncertainty as to how it would ultimately affect economic growth. While inflation has cooled as a result, we will likely need to see more evidence of price stability for the Fed to even consider a pause. As this debate continues, many companies are reigning in costs as they retrench for a more subdued spending environment. While it’s difficult to predict with much certainty on how this will play out, our belief is that most of the Funds’ holdings will emerge from this difficult period in an even better competitive position in their respective markets and exit this downturn with more streamlined cost structures that will enable a rapid increase in profitability should economic conditions improve.
 
As for the Funds, the fiscal period continued to be very challenging, but we believe that most of the underperformance versus our benchmarks has been mainly the result of uncertain macro conditions rather than fundamental issues with our company holdings. Valuations remain depressed across many sectors, mainly reflecting poor market sentiment rather than business results. Our decision to increase weightings in smaller cap stocks did not help as investors became more risk averse and worried about an economic slowdown. Historically, small cap stocks have done well in periods of higher interest rates, and an ever-increasing valuation discrepancy between large- and small-cap stocks has us leaning into small-cap growth opportunities even more, especially those that have had the most extreme declines as investors sought to reduce their risk exposure. While we do expect volatility to remain elevated, we believe that ultimately higher stock prices will prove to be justified for those companies that deliver both strong revenue growth and earnings leverage. Hopefully, in the not-too-distant future, we will see calmer market conditions lead to stock valuations that better reflect the current economic landscape.
 
Jacob Internet Fund
 
The Jacob Internet Fund (“Internet Fund”) was down 11.36% for the six-month ended February 28, 2023 (the “Period”), while the NASDAQ Composite Index declined 2.61%. While the overall market was weak during the period, the poor results in the small-cap technology sector had the greatest impact on our negative performance versus our benchmarks and peers.
 
By far the worst performing position – and most impactful to our performance in the period – was Silvergate Capital Corp. (“Silvergate”), which was down 85% for the Period. Silvergate’s business model serving bitcoin depositors made the company vulnerable to aftershocks in the crypto market post-collapse of FTX Trading Ltd. Silvergate was hit by an exodus of customers, which ultimately forced them to sell government bonds at losses to fund these withdrawals. These losses exacerbated the problems at the bank, led to more deposit withdrawals, and caused us to worry about the need for a massive equity raise, or the eventual shutdown of their crypto operations, so we exited the position. WM Technology, Inc., down 58% for the Period, has continued to struggle alongside most cannabis-related names. Stalled progress with federal legalization and a thriving illicit market is still negatively impacting the industry. Identiv, a leader in custom RFID tags and readers, had a combination of supply-related issues and a delay in customer rollouts that led to a 53% decline in the Period. A couple of smaller positions, Atomera, Inc. and comScore, Inc., and long-time holding Digital Turbine, Inc., round out the bottom performers, down 49%, 47% and 42%, respectively. Digital Turbine, Inc.’s weakness coincided with a reduction in overall marketing spending that has affected all ad-tech companies, with the others not really being affected by fundamental issues, but likely tax-loss selling into the end of the year.
 
The best-performing stocks in the fiscal period were also a diverse group, reflecting the angst across the broader tech sector. Inspired Entertainment, Inc., up 51% in the Period, benefitted from the post-Covid recovery in in-person gaming in the UK and the robust growth of their virtual sports betting products. Impinj, up 49% in the Period, continued its torrid performance in the fast-growing chip market to enable wireless tracking. Reports that conference technology provider Cvent Holding Corp. was attracting takeover interest, led to a 44% rise in the Period and our eventual exit as we felt that the upside was being fully reflected in the stock. Finally, another long time holding, the haptic chip designer Immersion Corp., was up 31% in the Period as its new executive team continued to enact shareholder friendly measures to boost profitability, including an aggressive effort to buy back shares.

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER (Unaudited) (Continued)

 
Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund
 
The Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Fund”) was up 0.18% in the Period while the Russell 2000 Growth Index rose 3.06%. Most of our worst-performing holdings were some of our smallest, which due to their more speculative characteristics, fared poorly as recent market declines deepened over the Period.
 
As in the Internet Fund, Silvergate Capital Corp. and WM Technology, Inc. were the worst performers in the Period, down 85% and 58%, respectively. The two other holdings that had the most impact on performance were Amyris, Inc. and Heron Therapeutics, Inc., down 58% and 42% respectively. Amyris, Inc., a leading manufacturer of chemicals used for food and beauty products, has engaged in an aggressive push into more valuable branded products, and while it has shown remarkable progress, its need to continually raise additional capital has led to more dilution than we anticipated. Heron Therapeutics, Inc., a drug developer with a focus on pain and nausea relief, has stumbled out the gate post-approval of their lead product (Zynrelef) and has yet to prove broad interest among doctors and hospitals. Most recently, a group of activist investors have been added to the Heron Therapeutics, Inc. board, giving us more confidence that we could see improvement as the year progresses or an ultimate breakup or sale of the company.
 
A trio of healthcare holdings provided by far the most positive impact on performance in the Period. Harrow Health, Inc., up 99%, saw the Food and Drug Administration approve of one of its recently acquired compounds (Iheezo), which will be another product its large sales force can sell to ophthalmologists. We believe this approval, the first ever for the company of a branded pharmaceutical, along with a recent acquisition of neglected eye care drugs from Novartis AG, will lead to a significant step up in revenues in the next few years. Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (“Alphatec”), a large holding of the Fund for several years, continues to execute its ambitious plans to become an industry leader in spinal surgery products. With only a single-digit market share, Alphatec’s market opportunity is still vast, and has an outstanding management team we think is likely to reach its ambitious goals. Lastly, early-stage drug company IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. was up 80% for the Period, as it continues to develop its promising lead drug (Darovasertib) to treat uveal melanoma, a disease with basically zero treatment options. We believe this product, in addition to a host of pre-clinical synthetic lethality drugs, provides many different avenues for Ideaya to prove it deserves an even higher valuation.
 
Jacob Discovery Fund
 
The Jacob Discovery Fund (“Discovery Fund”) was up 1.04% for Period, while the Russell Microcap Growth Index declined 0.35%. We are pleased that the Discovery Fund modestly outperformed the Russell Microcap Growth Index, especially given that the portfolio has by far the smallest average market cap among our peers. Fortunately, many of our worst performers were small positions of the Discovery Fund to start the Period, while a couple of our strongest performers were among our top holdings.
 
Despite the modest outperformance of the Discovery Fund vs. the Russell Microcap Growth Index, however, we generally underperformed many of our peers mainly due to our heavy exposure to technology and biotech. Our worst performer, IMV, Inc., was in the latter category, and was down 88% for the Period as new management followed in their predecessors’ footprint by proving incapable of driving their clinical trials forward in a timely and meaningful way. Unable to secure a larger drug developer as a partner and faced with the prospect of continuous dilutive stock sales to fund the business, we exited the position despite our continued belief in the usefulness of its drug delivery platform.
 
As mentioned above, IMV, Inc. was a very small position of the fund, as was our second-worst performer, Scout Gaming Group AB, also down 88% for the Period. Scout Gaming AB is one of the leading fantasy sports providers outside the U.S., with a heavy focus in Europe. Unfortunately, fantasy sports have not taken off as they have in the United States of America, and the company has had to undergo a painful restructuring to try and right-size the business, laying off more than half of its workforce and terminating several of its relationships. New management is in place, and we still believe the company has the assets in terms of technology and partners to create a healthy profitable business, and we participated in a tender offer funding the company that will hopefully give them the money they need to get there.
 
Yet again, our cannabis names were disappointing, with Columbia Care, Inc. and WM Technology, Inc. down 71% and 58% in the Period, respectively. Stalled federal legislative progress, a dispensary and cultivation overbuild, and a thriving illicit market continues

to put a lot of pressure on the industry. We do believe in the long-term prospects of the market and remain optimistic that eventually the industry gets through these tough growing pains and reaches a point where companies able to survive on the other side will thrive. However, we are appropriately cautious about adding to our exposure to this space until we get more signs that a turn is near.
 
It wasn’t all negative for the Discovery Fund during the Period. Two of our names nearly doubled during the Period – Harrow Health, Inc., up 99%, and Alphatec, up 95% and already discussed in this letter. Cytosorbents Corp. has had a difficult Period after getting a nice but ultimately short-lived COVID-19 bump for its blood purification technology, but they are now on the precipice of finalizing a U.S. clinical trial for what we believe should end up being a significant opportunity: Clearing blood-thinning drugs from patients undergoing emergency heart surgeries. If results prove successful, which we think will be the case as the product is already used for this purpose overseas, then we believe Cytosorbents Corp. will likely see its revenue grow substantially in the coming years.
 
Finally, with inflation at the top of investors’ minds, it was a good time to be in the business of mining for physical metals, and all three of our commodity-focused stocks performed well during the Period: Azimut Exploration, Inc., up 55%; and Western Copper and Gold Corp. and Solitario Zinc Corp., each up 29%. All of these companies have what we think are valuable properties that will provide metals that will be absolutely vital to the world’s increasingly insatiable need for electrification.
 
Jacob Forward ETF
 
The Jacob Forward ETF (“Forward ETF”) at market price was down 6.76% for the Period while the S&P 500 Index rose 1.26%. Not surprisingly, a large-cap diversified index like the S&P 500 was more resilient during difficult market conditions where many investors continue to be risk averse.
 
As the Forward ETF combines and incorporates many of the same top holdings as our other three strategies, the best- and worst-performing positions were very similar to the above-mentioned holdings. Amyris, Inc., Heron Therapeutics, Inc. and Digital Turbine, Inc. had the biggest declines in the Period, down 58%, 42% and 42%, respectively. Alphatec, IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. and Impinj, Inc. were the top performers in the Period, up 95%, 80% and 49% respectively. Please refer to the above-mentioned commentary for additional commentary on each.
 
As always, we believe that staying true to our investment philosophy and process is still key to obtaining the best possible long-term investment performance for our shareholders.  Thank you again for your continued confidence and trust.

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