Oxford Technology 2 Venture Capital Trust PLC
Interim Statement
For the period 1 March 2010 to 31 August 2010
Statement on behalf of the Board
Net Assets per share on 31 August 2010 were 41p per share compared to 41p per
share on 28 February 2010.
Several companies in the portfolio are making satisfactory progress and, while
still not without risk, have the potential to deliver good returns. Â Other
companies have experienced problems and some have needed to raise additional
capital, sometimes at a lower valuation.
On behalf of the Board
Michael O'Regan - Chairman

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Information on pages 2 and 3
 1    The financial information for each of the interim periods ended 31
August 2010 and 31 August 2009 is unaudited and does not constitute statutory
accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. It has been prepared
using accounting policies consistent with those set out in the company's
statutory accounts for the year ended 28 February 2010. The financial
information for the year ended 28 February 2010 has been extracted from the
company's statutory accounts for that period which contained an unqualified
audit report and which have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.
 2The calculation of earnings per share for the period is based on the return
attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares in
issue during the period.
 3Listed investments are stated at market value based upon middle market prices
at the accounting period end. Â The unrealised depreciation or appreciation on
the valuation of investments are dealt with in the revaluation reserve.
 4Copies of the Interim Statement are being sent to shareholders and further
copies can be obtained from the Company's Registered Office.
