CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Performance review

The Company delivered a strong performance over the six months to 30 April 2026, with a net asset value ("NAV") total return of +14.7% and a shareholder total return of +11.5%, both comfortably ahead of the +7.7% return from the TOPIX Index, a widely used measure of Japanese equity performance. This outcome is all the more notable given that global markets had to contend with the outbreak of a major new conflict in the Middle East, which has caused the largest recorded disruption to global energy supplies. The Company's strong returns were supported by the continued strength of the global AI related theme, which has underpinned equity markets in Asia and elsewhere. The popularity of Prime Minister Takaichi and growing confidence in her economic strategy, a rising recognition that the yen appears undervalued and ongoing improvements in corporate governance have further strengthened investor interest in Japan.

This builds on the very strong performance generated over longer timeframes. Over the last three and five years, the Company's cumulative NAV total returns have been +78.2% and +101.23% respectively, well ahead of the TOPIX Index which has returned +55.0% and +57.9% over the same periods. The Company's share price total returns over three and five years were +72.4% and +94.4% respectively, again materially ahead of the Index.

All the returns detailed above include dividends paid and are translated into sterling terms.

For further detail on how the Company's performance was generated, the portfolio's positioning, and the current outlook, please refer to the Investment Manager's Report below.

Discount

Over the six-month reporting period, the discount at which the Company's shares trade to NAV has widened modestly, closing the half year period at 10.4% (31 October 2025: 8.4%). The discount averaged 7.4% during the reporting period and was 4.1% at the time of writing. The Board continues to monitor the discount level and will consider buying back shares to manage the level and volatility of the discount, if it is judged to be in the best interests of shareholders to do so.

Income and interim dividend

The Company is committed to providing a progressive dividend to shareholders, although it does not target a specific yield. The Board aims to increase dividend payments annually, a trend which has been maintained since inception. The investment trust structure allows the Company to draw on reserves to support dividends when appropriate.

Net revenue in the first half of the year was 3.15p per share, a 25% increase over the same period last year, supported by the sustainable financial strength and operational resilience of the underlying holdings. The Board has declared a first interim dividend of 1.75p per Ordinary share, an increase of 6.1% over last year, which will be payable on 4 August 2026 to shareholders on the register as at 3 July 2026, with an ex-dividend date of 2 July 2026.

Gearing

The use of structural gearing equivalent to approximately 20% of shareholders' funds, is an integral part of the investment process. This may lead to greater short-term volatility in NAV and share price. The Board could, in exceptional circumstances, reduce or eliminate the structural gearing but continues to believe that this policy is an important component of the investment trust strategy and should continue to enhance returns for investors over the long term.

Outlook

The Board expects Japanese equities to deliver positive returns over the long term supported by favourable underlying fundamentals and continued progress in corporate governance and improving capital efficiency. The policy agenda of the new government and the planned revision to the Corporate Governance Code in 2026 should, in our view, reinforce these trends and support companies with strong, sustainable financial and operational characteristics.

The conflict in the Middle East is likely to have a sustained economic impact, including through higher energy costs, supply disruptions and the risk of slower global growth. While the long term case for Japanese equities remains very positive, these developments, alongside possible changes in domestic policy and the potential for company or sector specific earnings disappointments, could cause volatility in the short term.

The Board believes that a disciplined, research driven approach to stock selection remains essential during periods of heightened uncertainty and market volatility. We remain confident in the Manager's process and consider that the Company is well positioned to navigate these challenges and to participate in the long term opportunities that continue to exist within the Japanese market.

We thank you for your ongoing support.

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REPORT

In the six-month period between 31 October 2025 and 30 April 2026, the Company's net asset value increased by +14.7%, while the TOPIX Index rose by +7.7%. In addition, the Company will pay an interim dividend of 1.75p, up 6.1% on the previous year.

The Japanese stock market has continued its recent strong performance, supported through geopolitical turmoil and international discourse by a renewed optimism for fiscal policy following a resounding election victory for Prime Minister Takaichi and the incumbent Liberal Democratic Party ("LDP"). There is a growing confidence in the economic growth strategies of Japan's first female leader, and a wider belief that this will complement, and not restrict, the corporate governance evolution that has been fundamental to the reappraisal of the investment opportunity in Japan.

Although Japanese monetary policy is tightening slowly, the yen continued to weaken over the reporting period, modestly eroding the local currency returns for the sterling denominated Trust. This depreciation prompted the Bank of Japan ("BoJ") to intervene in the forex market on the last day of April, to the tune of $34bn. This is very similar to July 2024, when the yen/dollar rate also approached the Y160 mark, and the BoJ raised interest rates shortly afterwards.

The equity market has, in recent months, been influenced by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Japan, which lacks energy resources, is heavily reliant on the region for crude oil imports and historically, most of these imports have travelled through the Strait of Hormuz. While the government and companies themselves are working hard to reduce this dependence, the short-term risks cannot be ignored. Higher oil prices impact corporate performance by squeezing profits while consumers suffer reduced disposable income. Neither are positive for the domestic economy if the situation prevails for an extended period. It is important that developments are closely monitored to differentiate between what may be short periods of volatility or structural impediments to performance.

The rapid emergence of artificial intelligence as a perceived long-term opportunity or threat has also had a substantial impact on industry sectors and individual companies. The race for technological leadership has resulted in a strong investment upcycle for many semiconductor and infrastructure-related companies whilst software providers have suffered a sharp downturn in future growth expectations. There remain many possibilities based on how AI is to be used and regulated in the future and we expect this to continue to be a prominent consideration for investors.

Companies benefiting from the substantial investment in AI dominate the period's top performers. Optical fibre and components manufacturer Fujikura, testing-equipment maker Anritsu, and flow-control equipment supplier Pillar all contributed significantly. Commodity exposure through trading company Mitsubishi Corp and ARE Holdings also supported returns, as concerns about raw-material supply, in a period of geopolitical turmoil, increased their investment appeal. By contrast, higher energy input costs are viewed as a headwind for domestic companies and notably consumption related companies such as Nippon Parking Development and Marui suffered weaker share prices. While the headline stock indices in Japan have performed well, the market for new issues has been much tougher following the introduction of tighter standards by the Tokyo Stock Exchange for new listings. This was a contributing factor behind the share price weakness of venture capital investor JAFCO and financial service company SBI Holdings.

Actions taken over the six-month reporting period have been influenced by consideration of potential risks within the portfolio and the opportunities presented by the market volatility. Consequently, the positions in Fujikura and ARE Holdings have been reduced into the strong share price appreciation as their valuations have expanded. New positions have been established in Anritsu, Megachips (semiconductor chip manufacturer), Keyence (sensors for factory automation), SMC (pneumatic equipment), Daiichi Sankyo (leading pharmaceutical manufacturer) and Hochiki (fire alarm and detection systems). These companies demonstrate the strong financial soundness, attractive growth prospects and shareholder return characteristics that are core components of this investment strategy and it is exciting that the market volatility has created the valuation opportunities for these industry leaders in their chosen fields. The holdings in Shoei (motorcycle helmets), Nissan Chemical (display screen materials and agrichemicals), Kao (cosmetics) and Denso (auto parts) have been exited based on the achievement of objectives or a reassessment considering changing prospects.

We believe that the underlying investment appeal of the Japanese equity market remains very high. The valuations of the Japanese equity market have expanded modestly to anticipate some of the positive developments but confidence in the achievement of higher goals continues to increase. The Japanese economy will remain sensitive to international developments of both political and economic nature. However, the robustness of the Japanese investment case is evident in how the well the market has performed despite various external headwinds in recent years. The recently detailed growth strategies of the new Prime Minister and initiatives such as the revision to the Corporate Governance Code due in the summer of 2026, build-on previous domestic policy successes and further enhance the investment case for Japanese equities. Companies with sustainable financial and operational strengths, amongst the prime attributes of our investment strategy, are proving best positioned to weather any short-term challenges and many are set to benefit from the exciting growth opportunities now emerging.

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

The Directors are required to provide an Interim Management Report in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. The Chairman's Statement and the Investment Manager's Report in this Half-Year Report provide details of the important events which have occurred during the period and their impact on the Financial Statements. The following statements on principal and emerging risks and uncertainties, related party transactions, going concern and the Directors' Responsibility Statement, together, constitute the Interim Management Report for the Company for the six months ended 30 April 2026. The outlook for the Company for the remaining six months of the year ending 31 October 2026 is discussed in the Investment Manager's Report.

Principal and emerging risks and uncertainties

The Board is responsible for the management of risks faced by the Company and delegates this role to the Audit and Risk Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee carries out, at least annually, a robust assessment of principal and emerging risks and uncertainties and monitors the risks on an ongoing basis.

The Committee has a dynamic risk management register in place to help identify key risks in the business and oversee the effectiveness of internal controls and processes. The risk management register and associated risk heat map provide a visual reflection of the Company's identified risks, including principal and emerging risks.

The Company's risks fall into three main categories:

● Strategic and Business risks, including investment performance, market, geopolitical and leverage risk;

● Operational and Financial risks, including cyber and business interruption; and

● Regulatory and Compliance risks, including climate change.

The Committee considers both the impact and the probability of each risk occurring and ensures appropriate controls are in place to reduce risk to an acceptable level. A detailed explanation of the principal and emerging risks and uncertainties to the Company are detailed in the Company's most recent Annual Report for the year ended 31 October 2025, which can be found on the Company's website at www.ccjapanincomeandgrowthtrust.com.

The risks as outlined in the 2025 Annual Report released on 20 January 2026 remain largely unchanged. However, since the release of the 2025 Annual Report, the Board notes the increased volatility as a result of changes in the geopolitical landscape. The outbreak in 2026 of a new conflict in the Middle East is likely to have a sustained economic impact, including through higher energy costs, supply disruptions and the risk of slower global growth. While the long‑term case for Japanese equities remains very positive, this significant conflict is likely to heighten volatility.

The Board closely monitors and assesses these continued uncertainties as to how they could impact and affect the Company's portfolio and, where appropriate, endeavour to mitigate the risk.

Related party transactions

The Company's Investment Manager is Chikara Investments LLP. Chikara Investments LLP is considered a related party under the UK Listing Rules. The Company's management fee is calculated on a tiered basis of 0.75% per annum on the first £300 million of net assets and 0.60% on net assets in excess of £300 million. Investment management fees during the six-month period to 30 April 2026 were £1,261,000. There is no performance fee payable to the Investment Manager. There have been no changes to the related party transactions that could have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Company since the year ended 31 October 2025. Further information can be found in note 12 to the financial statements below.

Going concern

The Board has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the publication of this Half-Year Report. In reaching this conclusion, the Directors have considered the liquidity of the Company's portfolio of investments as well as its cash position, income, and expense flows.

The Company's net assets as at 30 April 2026 were £365.4 million (30 April 2025: £268.4 million). As at 30 April 2026, the Company held £354.0 million (30 April 2025: £263.3 million) in quoted investments. In addition, as at 30 April 2026, the Company had gross exposure to Contracts for Difference of £70.7 million (30 April 2025: £52.5 million). The total expenses (excluding finance costs and taxation) for the six months ended 30 April 2026 were £1.8 million (30 April 2025: £1.5 million). As at 30 April 2026, none of the bank overdraft facility with Northern Trust Company was utilised on the Japanese Yen bank account (30 April 2025: none).

As part of its assessment, the Board has reviewed stress testing and liquidity analysis on the Company's portfolio of investments, giving careful consideration to the consequences for the Company of continuing uncertainties in the global economy and increased geopolitical tension worldwide. A prolonged and deep global or Japanese stock market decline would lead to a fall in investment values. However, the Company currently has sufficient liquidity available to meet any future obligations.

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, shareholders have the right to vote on the continuation of the Company as an investment trust every three years and a resolution to that effect was last approved at the AGM in March 2025.

Directors' responsibility statement

The Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules ("DTR") of the UK Listing Authority require the Directors to confirm their responsibilities in relation to the preparation and publication of the Interim Management Report and Financial Statements.

The Directors confirm to the best of their knowledge that:

● The Interim Management Report, together with the Chairman's Statement and Investment Manager's Report, includes a fair review of the information required by 4.2.7R and 4.2.8R of the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

This Half-Year Report has not been audited by the Company's Auditor.

This Half-Year Report contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements are made by the Directors in good faith based on the information available to them up to the date of this report and such statements should be treated with caution due to the inherent uncertainties, including both economic and business risk factors, underlying any such forward-looking information.

The Company provides additional information concerning its relationship with the Investment Manager, Chikara Investments LLP ("Chikara"). Chikara also served as Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") until 31 December 2024, after which Frostrow Capital LLP was appointed, with effect from 1 January 2025, as AIFM for the Company. Investment Management fees for the six month period ended 30 April 2026 were £1,261,000 (six month period ended 30 April 2025: £1,026,000 and one year period ended 31 October 2025: £2,114,000).

Research purchasing agreement

The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II ("MiFID II") treats investment research provided by brokers and independent research providers as a form of "inducement" to investment managers and requires research to be paid separately from execution costs. In the past, the costs of broker research were primarily borne by the Company as part of execution costs through dealing commissions paid to brokers. With effect from 3 January 2018, this practice has changed, as brokers subject to MiFID II are now required to price, and charge for, research separately from execution costs. Equally, the rules require the Investment Manager, as an investment Manager, to ensure that the research costs borne by the Company are paid for through a designated Research Payment Account ("RPA") funded by direct research charges to the Investment Manager's clients, including the Company.

The research charge for the year 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026, as agreed between the Investment Manager and the Company, is US $31,000 (31 December 2025: US $31,000).

Directors' fees and shareholdings

Directors' fees are payable at the rate of £31,250 per annum for each Director other than the Chairman, who is entitled to receive £47,000.

The Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee is entitled to an additional fee of £6,750 per annum and the Senior Independent Director ("SID") is entitled to an additional fee of £2,000 per annum.

The Directors hold the following Ordinary shares in the Company, all of which were beneficially owned.

13. Post Balance Sheet Events

There are no post balance sheet events other than as disclosed in this Half-Year Report.

14. Status of this Report

These Half-Year Financial Statements are unaudited and not the Company's statutory accounts for the purposes of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.

The Half-Year Report will be made available to the public at the registered office of the Company. The report will also be available on the Company's website www.ccjapanincomeandgrowthtrust.com

The information for the year ended 31 October 2025 has been extracted from the last published audited financial statements, unless otherwise stated. The audited financial statements have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The Auditor reported on those accounts and their report was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
