INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT(UNAUDITED)

For the period to 28 February 2014

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES

The Company aims to achieve long term capital growth through investment wholly or mainly in listed Japanese equities. The Investment Manager follows a stock-driven investment approach. The Company's portfolio is invested in companies quoted on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the regional stock markets of Fukuoka, Nagoya, Sapporo and the Japanese over-the-counter market. The above include the Ambitious market (Sapporo), Mothers (Tokyo), Centrex (Nagoya), JASDAQ (Tokyo) and Q Board (Fukuoka). Investment may also be made in companies listed elsewhere but controlled from Japan or with a material exposure to the Japanese economy. The Company may also invest in securities which are neither listed nor traded on the Japanese over-the-counter market provided that immediately after any such investment is made the Company does not have more than 10 per cent of its Net Asset Value so invested. The Company may borrow money with a view to enhancing the capital returns. The Company may hedge its exposure to Japanese yen.

For the period under review, the Fund's NAV was up 0.4%. This compares with a decrease of 1.8% for the Topix TR index. Since inception, the Fund is up 107.5% well ahead of the Topix TR, which is down 4.9% (all figures in US dollar terms).

At the end of the period under review, the Fund had JPY1.25 billion in borrowings and about JPY151 million in cash, which means the leverage is around 11.4% on a net basis.

The Fund has no foreign exchange hedges at this time and none are currently planned. The yen ended the period at JPY101.745 against the US dollar compared with JPY98.285 at the end of October 2013, weakening by 3.4%. A stronger yen has a positive impact on the dollar NAV of the Fund and vice versa.
