Octopus Titan VCT 2 PLC Interim Management Statement 17 February 2010 In accordance with Rule 4.3 of the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency rules, Octopus Titan VCT 2 plc ('Titan 2' or 'Fund') presents an Interim Management Statement for the period 1 November 2009 to 31 January 2010.  The statement also includes relevant financial information between the end of the period and the date of this statement. Financial Summary   As at 31 January 2010 As at 31 October 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net assets (000s) £14,852 £15,014 Net asset value per share ('NAV') 95.1p 96.1p Cumulative dividends paid since launch 1.0p 1.0p Total return (NAV plus dividends paid) 96.1p 97.1p Investment performance At 31 January 2010 the NAV of the Fund was 95.1p, which compares to 96.1p at 31 October 2009. The performance of the Fund has been relatively stable in the period under review. There have been no valuation movements in the unquoted portfolio. The main drivers for the fall in the NAV, alongside the annual running costs have been the Fund's investments in the Open Ended Investment Companies (OEICs). These have seen a slight fall in value of 2.5% (Absolute Return Fund) and 0.7% (UK Smaller Companies Fund) over the 3 months to 31 January 2010. That said, liquid resources remain in a good position at the period end and the two remaining bonds are both currently trading above par. The Fund has continued to see a good deal flow over the last three months. 2010 started with a further investment of £500,000 into Calastone Limited, the UK's only independent transaction service for the mutual fund industry. Just after this, a previous £201,000 non-qualifying investment in Zoopla Limited became qualifying. A full update of all of these investments and any subsequent deals will be provided in the half-yearly report for 30 April 2010. The total value of the investment portfolio at 31January 2010 was £14.8 million. By value, 29.6% of the Company's net assets are in unquoted investments, 3.2% in AIM-quoted investments and 32.1% in Octopus OEICS, leaving 35.1% currently in cash or cash equivalents.
