Oxford Technology 2 Venture Capital Trust plc
Interim Statement
For the period
1 March 2001 to 31 August 2001
Statement on behalf of the Board
Oxford Technology 2 VCT is now close to being fully invested, in the sense
that it is unlikely to invest in new companies. Its remaining capital is
intended to make follow-on investments in existing investees.
Net assets per share have increased from £0.99 at 28 February 2001 to £1.48
at 31 August 2001. But almost all of this rise is accounted for by the rise in
value of one investment, and this company has yet to achieve any sales, so
that the risks remain high.
The Board is pleased with the development of the portfolio as a whole.
Details of the investments are given in the September 2001 newsletter.
On behalf of the Board.
John Jackson
Chairman
