Interim Results

Oxford Technology 2 VCT PLC 3 October 2001 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.
