Dear Fellow Investors,
 
It’s been a remarkable fiscal year, almost equal parts challenge and opportunity. Our Fund suffered losses along with the general market during the downturn last fall, but as we entered 2009, the Fund was buoyed by substantial outperformance as the markets began to recover. As an end result, we were pleased to add value for our clients—our Fund was down just 3.86% from September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009, while our benchmarks fared far worse: the Nasdaq Composite declined 14.23%, and the Bloomberg US Internet Index fell 10.95%. Thus far in the 2009 calendar year, we are pleased with our results.
 
We had taken a defensive stance going into last fall, having pared the portfolio down to larger positions in only what we felt were the best quality tech names—including Apple, Electronic Arts, Google and Red Hat—and taking a higher than usual cash position of close to 20%. As it turned out, our investments were mostly rewarded: though Electronic Arts has struggled with its particular issues this year, the other three of our top positions did well, outperforming the market and giving a boost to our performance numbers. The Fund’s cash position worked to our advantage as tech stocks started to bottom in November (several months before the general market hit their lows in March), enabling us to aggressively add to the Fund’s portfolio when valuations were down. We invested almost all available cash when stock prices were most discounted, with some high quality companies trading at prices close to the amount of cash on their balance sheets. We were glad to be able to take full advantage of these rare opportunities. These moves last fall sowed the seeds that led to the Fund’s outperformance during the rebound.
 
In the international component of the Fund’s portfolio, we are currently increasing our weighting in China. In the past six months, we regained confidence in the direction of the Chinese economy. The companies the Fund owned—which made up about 5% of the portfolio—held up better than we expected in the global downturn. The Fund’s biggest Chinese positions now include search engine Baidu Inc., travel website Ctrip.com, and Tencent Holdings, operator of the mainland’s largest online instant messaging service. We remain bullish and have increased our Chinese exposure to about 10% of the Fund’s portfolio.
 
Our view now is that valuations have become more reasonable and the outlook is positive for large and mid-sized tech companies. One benefit of having experienced the turbulence of the past year is that the companies that remain in our Fund’s portfolio have been stress-tested, giving us greater confidence that they should perform well even in a weak environment.
 
One example is Netflix, a recession-resistant company that we started buying earlier this year. Despite the economic downturn, their innovative management team successfully faced down a challenge to their mail order business from rival Blockbuster, and their subscriber growth has remained consistently north of 20%. Netflix continues to top customer service surveys, and we believe they will be winners whether economic conditions are good or bad.
 
Another industry that we believe is well positioned is semiconductor chip producers, which is why the Fund has invested in SanDisk and Broadcom. These companies have enjoyed strong tailwinds as the economy rebounded and pent up demand for their products appears to be driving growth in orders. Their pricing power has been improving and we think these companies may thrive in the next few years.
 
We also added a position in a smaller player, Cypress Semiconductor, which is dominant in programmable-system-on-a-chip (PSOC) technology used in touchscreens for smart phones and laptops. In the coming years,


 

we expect to see continued steady growth in this important technology, with the new Windows 7 operation system incorporating built-in touchscreen navigation, and as touchpads are increasingly incorporated in consumer electronics and appliances, as well as netbooks (which are now the fastest growing category of PCs).
 
Looking ahead, we remain positive on the Internet sector for the next few years, because of our belief that the financial crisis we have weathered has positioned technology companies as potentially “safer” growth opportunities than they have been viewed in the past—even if the broader economic recovery is slower than expected. Once again, we thank you for entrusting us with your investments and look forward to a bright future together.

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 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 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 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.
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued 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. Management has determined that SFAS No. 157 had no material impact on the Fund’s financial statements, except for additional disclosure.

FAS 157—Summary of Fair Value Exposure at August 31, 2009
 
The Fund has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
 
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of August 31, 2009:

  $ 715,150  
         
  The information used in the above reconciliation represents fiscal year to date activity for any investments identified as using Level 3 inputs at either the beginning or end of the current fiscal period. Transfers in or out of Level 3 represents either the beginning value (for transfers in) or ending value (for transfers out) of any security or instrument where a change in the pricing level occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.
 
In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. Management has determined that SFAS 161 had no material impact on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures because the Fund does not maintain any positions in derivative instruments or engage in hedging activities.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS No. 165). The Fund adopted SFAS No. 165 which requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, an entity will be required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. In addition, SFAS No. 165 requires an entity to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through October 28, 2009, the date that the financial statements were available to be issued.

In June 2009, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”) was issued and is effective for fiscal reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. SFAS 168 is intended to establish the FASB Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities in preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Management is currently evaluating the implications of SFAS 168.
 
(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.
 
(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 Fund 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. No material uncertain tax positions existed as of August 31, 2009. As a result, the Fund has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of August 31, 2009. FIN 48 requires the Fund 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 exam by taxing authorities. Major jurisdictions for the Fund only relate to federal tax years. As of August 31, 2009, open federal tax years include the tax year ended August 31, 2006 through August 31, 2009.
 
(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.

At August 31, 2009, the components of accumulated earnings/(losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
 
         
Cost of Investments
  $ 39,169,402  
         
Gross unrealized appreciation
    9,003,944  
Gross unrealized depreciation

Other accumulated losses
  $ (106,197,462 )
         
Total accumulated losses
  $ (107,467,937 )
         
 
The differences between cost amounts for book purposes and tax purposes are primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. At August 31, 2009, the Fund had an accumulated net realized capital loss carryover of $99,157,405, of which $89,876,360 expires in 2010, and $9,281,045 expires in 2017. 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, 2009 the Fund had $38,961,920 in capital loss carryover expire. At August 31, 2009, the Fund had net realized losses from transactions between November 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009 of $7,040,057, which is deferred for tax purposes and were recognized on September 1, 2009.
 
The Fund made no distributions during the year ended August 31, 2009 and paid $1,819,561 out of ordinary income during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008.
 
Reclassification Adjustments:  Paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income, and accumulated net realized gain (loss) have been adjusted in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for permanent book-tax differences for the Fund.
 
Differences primarily relate to the tax treatment of net operating losses, expiring capital losses, and foreign currency gains and losses. To the extent these book and tax differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the fiscal year among paid-in capital in excess of par value, undistributed net investment income (loss) and undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency translations. Accordingly, at August 31, 2009 reclassifications were recorded as follows:
 
Paid-in Capital decreased by $40,004,689, Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss) increased by $1,042,769 and Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) increased by $38,961,920.
 
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.
 
Effective January 1, 2009, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets from its Advisory Fee to the extent the Fund’s total annual operating expenses exceed 2.95% of the average daily net assets through January 2, 2010. The Adviser has the ability to recoup amounts waived for a period of three years 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 year ended August 31, 2009, fees of $19,996 were waived by the Adviser.
 
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. FAF Advisors, Inc. serves as the securities lending agent.
 
NOTE 6—SECURITIES LENDING
 
The Fund may lend portfolio securities equal in value to up to 33% of its total assets (including such loans) to borrowers under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by FAF Advisors, 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 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. FAF Advisors, Inc. received $3,594 from the Fund for its securities lending administrative services during the year ended August 31, 2009.
 
As of August 31, 2009, the Fund had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash proceeds that the borrower paid to the 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 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 Fund is also exposed to market risk on the investments it purchases with the proceeds of the cash collateral. As of August 31, 2009, the value of the Fund’s securities on loan was $1,817,223. The cost of the related collateral was $1,729,737 and the fair value of the investments purchased was $715,150. An amount of $162,930 of the collateral was not invested and held in cash. As of August 31, 2009, the Fund had experienced $1,014,587 of unrealized depreciation on the investments it purchased with proceeds of the cash collateral.
 
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 from December 29, 2005 through December 31, 2007. 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 $105,098 in expenses pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan for the year ended August 31, 2009. At August 31, 2009, $10,610 of the Shareholder Servicing Fee was available for eligible 12b-1 expenses.
 
NOTE 8—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On September 22, 2009, the Board approved an agreement and plan of reorganization to add two series in Jacob Internet Fund Inc. The newly-formed series would merge with existing stand alone funds and join the Fund as series of the Corporation if the reorganization is approved by the existing shareholders of the funds currently not a member of the Corporation. The boards of the existing funds have also approved the reorganization and each fund’s shareholders will consider approval of the agreement and plan of reorganization at a special shareholders meeting expected to take place on or around December 31, 2009.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Jacob Internet Fund Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Jacob Internet Fund Inc. (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of August 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jacob Internet Fund Inc. as of August 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2009
 
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 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 (3/1/09–8/31/09).
 
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

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 3.54% multiplied by the average account value over the period multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
