INVESTMENT POLICY
The VCT's policy is to invest primarily in a diverse portfolio of UK
established, profitable, unquoted companies in order to generate capital gains
from trade sales and flotations.
Investments are structured as part loan and part equity in order to receive
regular income and to provide downside protection in the event of
under-performance.
Investments are made selectively across a number of sectors, primarily in
management buyout transactions (MBOs) i.e. to support incumbent management
teams in acquiring the business they manage but do not own. Investments are
primarily made in companies that are established and profitable.
Uninvestedfunds are held in cash and low risk money market funds.
UK Companies
The companies in which investments are made must have no more than £15 million
of gross assets at the time of investment to be classed as a VCT qualifying
holding.
VCT regulation
The investment policy is designed to ensure that the VCT continues to qualify
and is approved as a VCT by HMRC. Amongst other conditions, the VCT may not
invest more than 15% of its investments in a single company and must achieve at
least 70% by value of its investments throughout the period in shares or
securities in qualifying holdings, of which a minimum overall of 30% by value
must be ordinary shares which carry no preferential rights. In addition,
although the VCT can invest less than 30% of an investment in a specific
company in ordinary shares it must have at least 10% by value of its total
investments in each qualifying company in ordinary shares which carry no
preferential rights.
Asset mix
The Investment Manager aims to hold approximately 80% by value of the VCT's
investments in qualifying holdings. The balance of the portfolio is held in
readily realisable interest bearing investments and deposits.
Risk diversification and maximum exposures
Risk is spread by investing in a number of different businesses across
different industry sectors. To reduce the risk of high exposure to equities,
each qualifying investment is structured using a significant proportion of loan
stock (up to 70% of the total investment in each VCT qualifying company).
Initial investments in VCT qualifying companies are generally made in amounts
ranging from £200,000 to £1 million at cost. No holding in any one company will
represent more than 10% of the value of the VCT's investments, based on cost,
at the time of investment. Ongoing monitoring of each investment is carried out
by the Manager generally through taking a seat on the Board of each VCT
qualifying company.
Co-investment
The VCT aims to invest alongside four other Income and Growth VCTs advised by
the Manager with a similar investment policy. This enables the VCT to
participate in combined investments by the Investment Manager of up to £5
million.
Borrowing
The VCT has no borrowing and does not have any current plans for future
borrowings.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to enclose the Half-Yearly Report of Matrix Income & Growth 2 VCT
plc (the "Company") for the period from 1 May 2009 to 31 October 2009.
Overview
Economic conditions for smaller companies have remained tough since I lasted
reported to you. Since 30 April 2009, net asset values per share for both funds
have fallen, mainly because trading conditions for several investee companies
have continued to be challenging.
We continue to remain cautious and to retain liquidity. No new investments were
made during the period by either Share Fund. However, both Share Funds
participated in a follow-on investment after the period end in British
International Holdings; and one new investment was made into Iglu.com Holdings
Limited, via the acquisition company Barnfield.
I am pleased to report that the Company realised its investment in PastaKing
Holdings shortly after the period end, generating a good return for
shareholders.
The overall performance of the portfolio remains satisfactory in the current
economic circumstances. Several companies continue to produce encouraging
results and secure new contracts.
Further details can be found in the Investment Manager's Review.
Ordinary Share Fund
The Net Asset Value ("NAV") per Ordinary Share at 31 October 2009 was 66.29
pence, a 14.84% decrease when compared with 77.84 pence per share as at 31
October 2008. The NAV decreased by 3.97% when compared to the NAV at 30 April
2009 of 69.03 pence per share. The Fund's total return since launch is 93.08
pence per share (30 April 2009: 95.82 pence per share).
Further details of the performance of the Ordinary Share Fund investments are
set out in the Investment Manager's Review below.
C Share Fund
The NAV per C Share at 31 October 2009 stood at 85.38 pence, a 6.33% decrease
on the NAV when compared with 91.15 pence per share as at 31 October 2008, or
5.23% after adjusting for the 1.00 penny dividend paid in this period.
Excluding the 1.00 penny dividend, the NAV decreased marginally by 0.74% when
compared to the NAV at 30 April 2009 of 86.02 pence per share. This stronger
relative performance reflects the fact that the C Fund is not yet fully
invested, so held a higher level of assets in cash. The Fund's total return
since launch is 90.38 pence per share (30 April 2009: 90.02 pence per share).
Further details of the performance of the C Share Fund investments are set out
in the Investment Manager's Review below.
Return to Shareholders
The results for this period are set out on the following pages and show a
revenue loss (after tax) attributable to Ordinary Fund Shareholders of 0.15
pence per Ordinary Share (31 October 2008: profit of 1.09 pence). The total
loss (after tax) attributable to Ordinary Fund Shareholders was 2.74 pence per
Ordinary Share (31 October 2008: loss of 13.12 pence).
The revenue loss (after tax) attributable to C Fund Shareholders was 0.20 pence
per C share (31 October 2008: profit of 1.28 pence). The total profit (after
tax) attributable to C Fund Shareholders was 0.14 pence per C share (31 October
2008: loss of 4.84 pence).
Revenue returns for both Funds continue to be adversely affected by
historically low levels of interest rates and by a number of investee companies
being unable to pay their loan stock interest.
Share Buybacks
During the period 87,825 C Shares were bought back for cancellation, at an
average price of 56.8 pence per share (net of expenses). No Ordinary Shares
were bought back during the period.
Dividends
The Board's objective is, subject to the availability of sufficient reserves
and liquidity, to distribute regular and consistent dividends. The Board
intends to review the level of dividends to be paid at the year-end, although
it is unlikely that dividends from revenue returns will be possible this year.
Outlook
Your Board and Investment Manager continue to monitor economic conditions and
continue their prudent approach to further investments, whilst remaining alert
to the new opportunities that the current downturn will produce.
I would like to thank all our Shareholders for their continuing support.

Chairman

INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REVIEW
Overview
The environment for new investment has continued to be challenging during the
period. We have therefore remained cautious and selective when considering
potential deals. We have avoided transactions that require significant levels
of bank borrowing, believing that over-leveraged investments will be
particularly vulnerable.
Investment Activity
No new investments were made by the Ordinary or C Share Funds during the
period. However, after the period end, two investments and one disposal were
made.
In November, both Share Funds participated in a follow-on investment in British
International Holdings Limited. The Ordinary Share Fund invested £133,252 and
the C Share Fund £26,748 in the form of secured loan notes, as part of a £1
million working capital injection by shareholders. The investment will provide
additional working capital during a time when leasing revenues have fallen
through lack of demand in the oil and gas sector. British International has,
however, secured a further contract to commence early in 2010, which will
generate leasing revenue greater than produced in 2009.
The Company successfully realised its investment in PastaKing Holdings, the
Newton Abbot based supplier of fresh pasta meals, in November for proceeds of
£731,000 for the Ordinary Share Fund and £510,000 for the C Share Fund. This
realisation contributed to total proceeds over the life of the investment of
£891,000 for the Ordinary Share Fund and £622,000 for the C Share Fund,
representing a 3.25 fold return on original investment costs of £274,624 and
£191,720 respectively.
In December, the Company invested in Iglu.com Holdings Limited via Barnfield
Management Investments Limited, as part of our operating partner programme. The
C Share Fund's original investment of £1 million was partially refunded and the
Ordinary Share Fund invested £437,309 alongside £562,691 from the C Share Fund
as part of the acquisition by Matrix-advised VCTs of Iglu.com Limited, a
specialist provider of cruise and ski holidays. This investment was completed
without recourse to bank debt and its revenues remain resilient despite the
recessionary environment. Iglu is the largest specialist independent ski travel
agent in the UK and fastest growing independent specialist cruise travel agent
in the UK. Its reputation for offering knowledgeable impartial advice via its
website and telephone operators means it enjoys a high level of repeat or
referral bookings. This value added service has enabled Iglu to increase its
market share in ski holidays and provide continuing growth in cruise holidays.
Ordinary Share Fund Portfolio Highlights
As at 31 October 2009, the Ordinary Share Fund comprised investments in 15
companies at cost of £7.41 million and current valuation of £5.10 million; on a
like for like basis the portfolio shows a 4.37% fall compared with the
valuations prevailing at 30 April 2009. Over the same period the FTSE All Share
and FTSE SmallCap indices have risen by 18.94% and 26.19% respectively.
Those companies in the portfolio with either direct or indirect exposure to the
construction and housebuilding sectors have continued to suffer from weakness
in their markets. These include Youngman, PXP and Plastic Surgeon, all of whom
continue to underperform their budgeted performance. We have worked closely
with management in each case to reduce costs significantly and ensure that they
are able to withstand the fall in demand in their markets.
A number of portfolio companies have, however, continued to perform strongly;
DiGiCo Europe continues to grow rapidly and new product launches have led to
rising profit growth. A partial loan repayment of £137,552 was made in May
2009. ATG Media is experiencing increasing interest in its online auction
platform and VSI remains on track to meet its forecasts. Campden Media has seen
a return to profitability as it enters its traditionally strong last quarter
and Blaze Signs has successfully cut costs and is beginning to see increased
demand for its services. Vectair is trading ahead of budget and making further
progress in export markets including the Middle East and India. Racoon's
profitability is also ahead of budget, albeit well below pre-investment
expectations.
C Share Fund Portfolio Highlights
The C Share Fund now holds investments in 13 companies at a total cost of £6.24
million and a current valuation of £5.51 million. On a like for like basis the
portfolio shows a 3.37% increase compared with the valuations prevailing at 30
April 2009.
Most of the C Share Fund's investments were made alongside the Ordinary Share
Fund. In addition to these, the C Share Fund holds investments in two other
companies. Monsal has recovered from a difficult period since its MBO and met
its forecast for its year to 30 September. Monsal has a strong order book for
2010 and several other opportunities are being explored. Focus Pharma continues
to trade well, is growing profits and has good visibility of further profit
growth in 2009-2010.
Outlook
The economic outlook will continue to be difficult over the next six months,
especially for small companies where recessionary pressures are greatest. We
continue to monitor portfolio companies to ensure they maximise their liquidity
and are well placed to take advantage of the opportunities they are presented.
Both Share Funds retain liquidity to support deserving portfolio companies
where required. The recent increase in new investment opportunities now coming
forward, as shown by the MBO of Iglu, bodes well for a more active year ahead.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Principal accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the
period. Full details of principal accounting policies will be disclosed in the
Annual Report.
(a) Basis of accounting
The unaudited results cover the six months to 31 October 2009 and have been
prepared under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP), consistent
with the accounting policies set out in the statutory accounts for the year
ended 30 April 2009 and the 2009 Statement of Recommended Practice, 'Financial
Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts' ("the
SORP").
The Half-yearly Report has not been audited, nor has it been reviewed by the
auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board (APB)'s guidance on Review of
Interim Financial Information.
(b) Presentation of the Income Statement
In order to better reflect the activities of a VCT and in accordance with the
SORP, supplementary information which analyses the Income Statement between
items of a revenue and capital nature has been presented alongside the Income
Statement. The revenue column of profit attributable to equity shareholders is
the measure the Directors believe appropriate in assessing the Company's
compliance with certain requirements set out in Section 274 Income Tax Act
2007.
(c) Investments
All investments held by the Company are classified as "fair value through
profit and loss" in accordance with International Private Equity and Venture
Capital Valuation ("IPEVCV") guidelines, as updated in September 2009, which
have not materially changed the results reported last year. This classification
is followed as the Company's business is to invest in financial assets with a
view to profiting from their total return in the form of capital growth and
income.
For investments actively traded in organised markets, fair value is generally
determined by reference to Stock Exchange market quoted bid prices at the close
of business on the balance sheet date. Purchases and sales of AiM quoted
investments are recognised on the trade date where a contract of sale exists
whose terms require delivery within a time frame determined by the relevant
market. Purchases and sales of unlisted investments are recognised when the
contract for acquisition or sale becomes unconditional.
Unquoted investments are stated at fair value by the Directors in accordance
with the following rules, which are consistent with the IPEVCV guidelines:
All investments are held at the price of a recent investment for an appropriate
period where there is considered to have been no change in fair value. Where
such a basis is no longer considered appropriate, the following factors are
considered:
(i) Where a value is indicated by a material arms-length transaction by an
independent third party in the shares of a company, this value will be used.
(ii) In the absence of i), and depending upon both the subsequent trading
performance and investment structure of an investee company, the valuation
basis will usually move to either:-.
(a) an earnings multiple basis. The shares may be valued by applying a suitable
price-earnings ratio to that company's historic, current or forecast post-tax
earnings before interest and amortisation (the ratio used being based upon a
comparable sector but the resulting value being adjusted to reflect points of
difference identified by the Investment Manager compared to the sector
including, inter alia, a lack of marketability).
Or:-
(b) where a company's underperformance against plan indicates a diminution in the
value of the investment, provision against cost is made, as appropriate. Where
the value of an investment has fallen permanently below cost, the loss is
treated as a permanent impairment and as a realised loss, even though the
investment is still held. The Board assesses the portfolio for such investments
and, after agreement with the Investment Manager, will agree the values that
represent the extent to which an investment loss has become realised. This is
based upon an assessment of objective evidence of that investment's future
prospects, to determine whether there is potential for the investment to
recover in value.
(iii) Premiums on loan stock investments are accrued at fair value when the Company
receives the right to the premium and when considered recoverable.
(iv) Where an earnings multiple or cost less impairment basis is not appropriate and
overriding factors apply, discounted cashflow or net asset valuation bases may
be applied.
(d) Capital gains and losses
Capital gains and losses on investments, whether realised or unrealised, are
dealt with in the profit and loss and revaluation reserves and movements in the
period are shown in the Income Statement.
2. The Company revoked its status as an investment company on 7 September 2005, so
that it can regard realised capital profits as part of the profits available
for distribution.

4. VAT recoverable
At 30 April 2009, the Directors considered it reasonably certain that the
Company would obtain a repayment of VAT of not less than £112,000. This
estimate was based upon information supplied by the Company's Investment
Manager and discussions with the Company's professional advisors as a result of
the European Court of Justice ruling and subsequent HMRC briefing that
management fees be exempt for VAT purposes. During this period £125,196 of
recoverable VAT was actually received. The excess of £13,196 has been credited
to the Income Statement, allocated 25% to revenue and 75% to capital return and
is in the same proportion as that in which the irrecoverable VAT was originally
charged.
5. Investment management expense
In accordance with the policy statement published under "Management and
Administration" in the Company's prospectus dated 10 May 2000, the Directors
have charged 75% of the investment management expenses to the capital account.
This is in line with the Board's expectation of the long-term split of returns
from the investment portfolio of the Company.
6. Taxation
There is no tax charge in the period, as there were taxable losses in the
period.

The cancelled share premium accounts for the Ordinary Share Fund and the C
Share Fund raised in 2006 provide the Company with a special reserve out of
which it can fund buy-backs of each Fund's Shares as and when it is considered
by the Board to be in the interests of the Shareholders, and to absorb any
existing and future realised losses. Under Resolution 7 of the Annual General
Meeting held on 10 September 2009, each class of Shareholders authorised the
Company to purchase its own shares pursuant to section 166 of the Companies Act
1985. The authority is limited to a maximum of 14.99 per cent of the issued
Ordinary Share Capital of the Company or, as the case maybe, 14.99% of the C
Share capital, and will unless previously revoked or renewed expire on the
conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2010.
The maximum price that may be paid for Ordinary Shares and C Shares will be an
amount equal to 105 per cent of the average of the middle market quotation as
taken from the London Stock Exchange daily official list for the five business
days immediately preceding the day on which that Ordinary Share or, as the case
maybe, C Share, is purchased. The minimum price that may be paid for Ordinary
Shares and C Shares is 1 penny per share. The authority provides that the
Company may make a contract to purchase Ordinary Shares or, as the case maybe,
C Shares under the authority conferred by this resolution prior to the expiry
of such authority which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the
expiration of such authority and may make a purchase of Ordinary Shares or C
Shares pursuant to such contract.
