Introduction
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Atlantis Japan Growth Fund Limited (the "Company") aims to achieve long term
capital growth through investment wholly or mainly in listed Japanese equities.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Company may invest up to 100 per cent of its gross assets in companies
quoted on any Japanese stock exchange including, without limitation, the Tokyo
Stock Exchange categorised as First Section, Second Section, JASDAQ, Mothers
and Tokyo PRO, or the regional stock exchanges of Fukuoka, Nagoya, Sapporo and
Osaka Securities Exchange.
The Company may also invest up to 20 per cent of its Net Asset Value (the
"NAV") at the time of investment in companies listed or traded on other stock
exchanges but which are either controlled and managed from Japan or which have
a material exposure to the Japanese economy.
The Company may also invest up to 10 per cent of its NAV at the time of
investment in securities which are neither listed nor traded on any stock
exchange or over-the-counter market.
In general, investment will be through investments in equity shares in, or debt
issued by, investee companies. However, the Company may also invest up to 20
per cent of its NAV at the time of investment in equity warrants and
convertible debt.
The Company will not invest in more than 10 per cent of any class of securities
of an investee company. The Company will not invest in derivative instruments
save for the purpose of efficient portfolio management.
The Company may not invest more than 10 per cent in aggregate, of the value of
its total assets in other listed closed-ended investment funds except in the
case of investment in closed-ended investment funds which themselves have
published investment policies to invest no more than 15 per cent of their total
assets in other listed closed-ended investment funds, in which case the limit
is 15 per cent.
The Company may borrow, with a view to enhancing capital returns, up to a
maximum of an amount not exceeding 20 per cent of NAV at the time of borrowing.
Investment Policy for the Redemption Pool
At each redemption point the Company may (a) notionally allocate assets and
liabilities into a separate pool (the "redemption pool") for the purpose of
funding valid redemption requests for that redemption point or (b) fund the
valid redemption requests from available cash. With regard to the redemption
pool, the Company aims to liquidate the necessary assets to meet qualifying
redemption requests in a timely manner, and to minimise the impact that such
redemptions will have to existing shareholders and the Company as a whole.
INVESTMENT MANAGER AND INVESTMENT ADVISER
Tiburon Partners LLP is the Investment Manager and Alternative Investment Fund
Manager pursuant to the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive.
Atlantis Investment Research Corporation ("AIRC") established in Tokyo, is the
Investment Adviser.
AIRC, through Taeko Setaishi and her colleagues, advise the Investment Manager
on the day-to-day conduct of the Company's investment business, the role it has
played since the launch of the Company in May 1996.
Chairman's Statement
For the six months ended 31st October 2017
I am pleased to report that the Company has performed exceptionally well in the
first half of the current financial year ending 31st October 2017. In the six
months to 31st October 2017, the net asset value total return per share (net of
fees and expenses), in GBP terms, was +27.8%. This compares favourably with the
total return from the Company's benchmark, the TOPIX Total Return index in GBP
terms, of +12.2%. The share price total return per share to ordinary
shareholders, and in GBP terms, was +24.2%.
The recent period of outperformance is very pleasing following the appointment
of Taeko Setaishi as the Company's lead fund adviser on 1st May 2016. The team
at Atlantis Investment Research Corporation are investors who focus on growth
and they are currently positive on the growth outlook in Japan, particularly
earnings, which is a key fundamental driver of equity valuations. As such,
Taeko Setaishi is maintaining a bias towards small and mid-cap growth
companies.
I would also like to take this opportunity of saying a few words about a
significant development that took place post the interim period end. Following
the annual review of the subscription shares and redemption facility, the Board
believed that it was in the best interests of the shareholders as a whole to
discontinue the subscription share mechanism following two consecutive
successful issues raising in aggregate approximately GBP26m. One of the principal
reasons for introducing the subscription rights mechanism in 2014 was to
facilitate increasing the Company's net assets and market capitalisation in
order to widen its appeal to new investors. After the successful completion of
the 2017 subscription rights, the Board took the view that the original
objective had substantially been achieved and that a simplified capital
structure would serve the Company better in future. At the EGM of the Company
held on 23rd November 2017, a special resolution proposed to cancel the
subscription rights was duly passed unanimously.
With a simplification of the Company's structure, increased market
capitalisation of over GBP100m and the strong performance following Taeko
Setaishi's succession, I am confident that the Company has a much brighter
future.

Investment Adviser's Interim Report
For the six months ended 31st October 2017
PERFORMANCE
During the six month period ended 31st October 2017 the major indices moved
steadily higher with support mainly from overseas investors and non-financial
business corporations. The TOPIX index, GBP denominated and on a total return
basis, rose by 12.2% during the period under review. The TSE Second Market
Index rose 16.9% and the Nikkei OTC Average gained 20.1%. During the period
under review and after factoring the dilution effect of 3.5% due to the
increase in number of shares created from the successful exercise of the
Subscription Right at the beginning of October 2017, the Company's Net Asset
Value per share rose by 27.8%.
The Investment Adviser attributes the Company's performance to its continued
exposure to medium sized and smaller capitalised companies which, as implied
above, out-performed larger capitalised stocks during the period under review.
Performance was also bolstered by the Company's emphasis on growth rather than
value in its stock selection. In terms of sector selection throughout the
period under review the Company maintained overweight positions in the
outperforming electric appliances, machinery, services, and precision
instruments sectors. Technology related companies held in the portfolio that
made significant contributions to performance included KH Neochem, Nittoku
Engineering, Lasertec, Tokyo Electron, and Iriso Electronics. The Company`s
machinery sector stocks (Yamashin-Filter, Daifuku) also contributed to
performance. The Investment Adviser believes the service sector can be mined
for special situation growth opportunities such as Sakai Moving Service and
Fullcast which moved higher during the reviewed period.
At the end of October 2017 borrowings totalled ¥1bn and cash held was ¥926m
which means that the Company had only 0.3% effective net gearing. The Japanese
yen ("JPY") ended the period at ¥149.47 against the GBP, a loss of 3.68% from
the closing rate of ¥143.98 at the end of April 2017.
The Company ended the reviewed period with 69 holdings compared with 68
holdings at the end of April. The Company has no exposure to convertible bonds
or any other class of equity derivative; neither does it have any foreign
exchange hedges in place. Excluding cash it is entirely invested in publicly
listed Japanese companies (including two REITs).
MARKET COMMENT AND INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Investment Adviser presently believes there are numerous compelling reasons
supporting the case for investment in Japanese equities. Firstly the Japanese
economy is providing a brisk tailwind to the market. The economy is in its
seventh consecutive quarter of expansion with annualized growth of 1.5%
expected for the fiscal year ending in March 2018. Consensus estimates suggest
1.0% to 1.5% growth in the following fiscal year. The growth has been well
balanced with positive contributions from household consumption, capital
expenditure, and export demand.
Given this favourable economic backdrop, corporate Japan is expected to report
16% pre-tax profit growth in FY 3/18 and an 8% increase in FY 3/19. The TOPIX
is selling at a 15x forward PER and 1.5x PBR. These valuations are running
below long-term norms and compare favourably with other developed equity market
valuations.
In addition, the Investment Adviser believes that during the period under
review the negative correlation between TOPIX and the yen has been broken
suggesting the Japanese equity market could trade more on its fundamentals than
currency speculation. If this were to transpire, overseas investment funds,
still underweight Japan despite their net purchases during the period under
review, could adopt a more positive stance regarding Japanese equities. The
Investment Adviser expects further equity purchases from non-financial business
corporations and the Bank of Japan / Government Pension Fund thus lending a
positive tilt toward equity demand.
Over the longer term, Japan will encounter challenges including a shrinking
population, a swelling fiscal deficit, and rising welfare expenditure. They
will require structural changes to the economy which could create new
investment opportunities.
The Company's investment strategy will continue to employ bottom-up stock
picking to invest in fundamentally undervalued companies with strong
competitive advantages and medium to long term growth potential. While this
approach does not exclude any company or sector from investment consideration
it is likely to result in a bias toward smaller and medium sized growth
opportunities.

Directors' Interim Report and Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
For the six months ended 31st October 2017
The Directors are pleased to present their Interim Report and the Unaudited
Financial Statements of the Company for the six month period ended 31st October
2017.
In the opinion of the Company's Directors, the condensed Directors' Interim
Report and Unaudited Financial Statements enables investors to make an informed
assessment of the results and activities of the Company for the period.
The Interim Report and Financial Statements have not been audited or reviewed
by the Company's auditor.
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Directors confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that:
- the condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting;
- as required by DTR 4.2.7R of the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency
Rules, the Directors' Interim Report and Investment Adviser's Interim Report
include a fair review of important events that have occurred during the first
six months of the financial year and their impact on the condensed Interim
Financial Statements, and a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year; and:
- the Interim Financial Statements include a fair review of the
information concerning related party transactions required by DTR 4.2.8R.
CAPITAL VALUES
At 31st October 2017 the value of net assets available to shareholders was
$151,949,331 (30th April 2017: $99,695,364) and the Net Asset Value per share
was $2.95/GBP2.23 (30th April 2017: $2.26/GBP1.75).
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES
As an investment trust, the Company invests in securities for the long term.
The financial investments held as assets by the Company comprise equity shares
(see the Schedule of Investments for a breakdown). As such, the holding of
securities, investing activities and financing associated with the
implementation of the investment policy involves certain inherent risks. Events
may occur that could result in either a reduction in the Company's net assets
or a reduction of revenue profits available for distribution.
Set out below are the principal risks inherent in the Company's activities
along with the actions taken to manage them. The Directors conduct robust
reviews of these risks and agrees policies for their management. These policies
have remained substantially unchanged since 30th April 2006.
Performance
The Directors regularly monitor the Company's investment performance against a
number of indices and the Association of Investment Companies ("AIC") Japanese
smaller companies' sub-sector peer group.
Discount
A disproportionate widening of the discount relative to the Company's peers
could result in loss of value for shareholders. The Directors review the
discount level regularly. The introduction of the Redemption Facility has
improved the liquidity in the Company's shares and helps to narrow the discount
to the NAV at which the shares trade.
The Company operates a shareholder approved discount control mechanism whereby
the Company will hold a continuation vote if the shares have traded, on
average, at a discount of more than 10% to the Net Asset Value per share during
any rolling 90 day period, in normal market conditions. If the obligation to
hold a continuation vote is triggered, the vote will be held no later than the
next practicable annual general meeting of the Company. As of the date of this
report, the continuation vote has not been triggered. In any event,
shareholders will be given the opportunity to vote on whether or not the
Company should continue at the Annual General Meeting in 2019.
Regulatory
The Company operates in a complex regulatory environment and faces a number of
regulatory risks. Breaches of regulations, such as Section 1158 of the
Corporation Tax Act 2010, The Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 and the UK Listing
Authority ("UKLA") Listing Rules, could lead to a number of detrimental
outcomes and reputational damage. Section 1158 qualification criteria are
continually monitored. The Directors rely on the services of the Administrator,
Northern Trust International Fund Administration Services (Guernsey) Limited
and its professional advisers to ensure compliance with The Companies
(Guernsey) Law, 2008, the UKLA Listing Rules, Prospectus Rules, Disclosure
Transparency Rules and the rules of the London Stock Exchange.
Operational
Like most other investment trust companies, the Company has no employees. The
Company therefore relies upon the services provided by third parties and is
dependent on the control systems of the Investment Manager, Investment Adviser
and the Company's Administrator. The security, for example, of the Company's
assets, dealing procedures, accounting records and maintenance of regulatory
and legal requirements depends on the effective operation of these systems.
These are regularly tested and monitored.
Market risk
Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future prices of financial
instruments used in the Company's business. It represents the potential loss
the Company might suffer through holding market positions in the face of price
movements.
The market risk is monitored by the Directors on a quarterly basis and on a
daily basis by the Investment Manager.
Currency risk
The Company's results for the period and net assets could be significantly
affected by currency movements as most of the Company's assets are denominated
in JPY. In order to reduce this risk the Company may hedge its exposure to the
JPY. The Company did not have any hedging arrangements in place at the period
end.
Borrowing and interest rate risk
The Company finances its operations mainly through its share capital and
retained profits, including realised and unrealised capital profits. Additional
bank borrowings may be used with a view to enhancing capital returns. However,
the Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that borrowing levels should
not exceed 20% of Net Asset Value at the time any borrowing is affected. The
level of net borrowing as at 31st October 2017 and 30th April 2017 was
effectively Nil.
The credit facility for ¥1,000,000,000 was rolled over every three months in
accordance with its terms most recently on 8th September 2017.
Liquidity risk and cash flow risk
Assuming a normal market environment, the majority of the Company's assets
comprise readily realisable securities, which can be sold to meet funding
commitments as necessary. As at 31st October 2017 based on the assumption of
one third of the volume for the last 3 months average volume, 95.9% of the
Company's assets can be realised within two weeks and 4.1% can be realised in
between two weeks and one month.
GOING CONCERN
The Directors believe that the Company has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. Whilst the Company may be
obliged to hold a continuation vote in accordance with its discount control
mechanism, the Directors do not believe this should automatically trigger the
adoption of a non-going concern basis in line with the AIC's Statement of
Recommended Practice ("SORP") which states that it is more appropriate to
prepare financial statements on a going concern basis unless a continuation
vote has already been triggered and shareholders have voted against
continuation. Therefore, the Directors believe the use of the going concern
basis is appropriate as there are no material uncertainties relating to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company
to continue to meet its ongoing obligations.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPOSITION
There were no changes to the Board of Directors during the period.
SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT ISSUE
In September 2017, the Director's reviewed the Subscription Right mechanism and
concluded that should the 2017 Subscription Right be exercised in full (which
was the case); the mechanism should be discontinued having achieved the target
of being exercised in two of the five years. The discontinuation was approved
and by Special Resolution of the Company, passed on 23rd November 2017, changes
to the Articles of Incorporation were approved whereby provisions relating to
the Subscription Right were deleted.
Eligible applications received from shareholders in respect of the exercise of
the 2017 Subscription Right amounted to 5,194,498 new ordinary shares.
Accordingly, 5,194,498 new ordinary shares were issued, at an exercise price of
172.79 pence per ordinary share raising gross proceeds of approximately GBP9m.
The new ordinary shares rank pari passu in all respects with the existing
ordinary shares in issue.
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company
appointed a trustee (the "Subscription Trustee") to determine whether all or
any of the unexercised Subscription Rights in respect of the 2nd October 2017
Subscription Date should be exercised on behalf of the holders of such rights.
Having taken account of the subscription price payable to the Company and all
costs and expenses of exercise from the sale of ordinary shares arising on the
exercise of the unexercised Subscription Rights, the Subscription Trustee
determined that there would be net proceeds and, as a result, the Subscription
Trustee exercised all such unexercised Subscription Rights. Consequently, the
Company issued and allotted a further 3,404,079 ordinary share as a result of
the exercise of all of the unexercised Subscription Rights outstanding on 2nd
October 2017. These new ordinary shares were issued at the exercise price of
172.79 pence raising gross proceeds of approximately GBP5.9m and also rank pari
passu with the existing ordinary shares.
Applications were made for all 8,598,577 new ordinary shares to be admitted to
the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the main market
of the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). Admission became effective, and
dealings in the new ordinary shares commenced, on 10th October 2017.

entitled to the surplus assets remaining after payment of all the creditors of
the Company. The shares redeemed in the current year were cancelled
immediately.
12. FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
The fair value of investments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded
derivatives and trading securities) are based on quoted market prices at the
close of trading on the Statement of Financial Position date. The quoted market
price used for investments held by the Company is the last traded price; the
appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current asking
price.
A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted
prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker,
industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices
represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length
basis.
The fair value of investments that are not traded in an active market is
determined by using valuation techniques.
For instruments for which there is no active market, the Company may use
internally developed models, which are usually based on valuation methods and
techniques generally recognised as standard within the industry. Valuation
models may be used primarily to value unlisted equity, debt securities and
other debt instruments for which markets were or have been inactive during the
financial year. Some of the inputs to these models may not be market observable
and are therefore estimated based on assumptions.
The following table sets out fair value measurements using the IFRS 13 fair
value hierarchies:
At 31st October 2017
Investments at fair value through
profit or loss
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
$'000 $'000 $'000 $'000
Equity Investments
152,390 - - 152,390
152,390 - - 152,390
At 30th April 2017
Investments at fair value through
profit or loss
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
$'000 $'000 $'000 $'000
Equity Investments
106,571 - - 106,571
106,571 - - 106,571
Categorisation within the hierarchy has been determined on the basis of the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the
relevant asset as follows:
Level 1 - valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 - valued by reference to valuation techniques using observable inputs
other than quoted prices included within level 1.
Level 3 - valued by reference to valuation techniques using inputs that are not
based on observable market data.
