   Statement on behalf of the Board 
 
   I am pleased to present my first report to shareholders, having taken 
over the Chairmanship from Michael O'Regan in July. Neither Michael nor 
Lucius Cary stood for re-election as Directors at the AGM. I would like 
to thank them both for all their hard work on behalf of shareholders 
since the formation of the Company in 2000. 
 
   It has been a busy six months for the VCT with a number of changes 
announced with our annual results in June: reduced management fees, an 
escalation added to the threshold for the performance fee, and the 
introduction of a Common Board across the four Oxford Technology VCTs 
commensurate with the companies becoming 'self-managed'. Lucius Cary and 
his team continue to be involved with the portfolio as OT2 Managers Ltd 
(the Company's investment manager) sub-contracting services from Oxford 
Technology Management. OT2 is unlikely to be significantly affected by 
the changes proposed for the VCT industry as a result of the Budget 
announcements earlier in the year. 
 
   The net asset value has increased by 8.3% (2.3p) from 27.8p at 28 
February 2015 to 30.1p at 31 August 2015, primarily driven by continued 
improved trading at both Select Technology and Telegesis. The Company's 
assets remain dominated by OCR, which the Board believes still has 
growth potential. Full details of these investments are included in our 
Annual Report, and on the website. 
 
   The ultimate success for OT2, and the potential for distributions in the 
future are likely to revolve around profitable exits from these investee 
companies. 
 
   On behalf of the Board 
 
   Richard Roth - Chairman

   Notes to the Unaudited Financial Information 
 
   1   The unaudited financial information for the six months to 31 August 
2015 has been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 
104 "Interim Financial Reporting" and in accordance with the accounting 
policies and principles that will be adopted in the next financial 
statements which are to be prepared under Financial Reporting Standard 
102 for the first time.  No restatement of prior periods has been 
necessary.  The unaudited financial information for the six months to 31 
August 2015 does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of 
Section 415 of the Companies Act 2006. The comparative figures for the 
year ended 28 February 2015 have been extracted from the audited 
financial statements for that year, which have been delivered to the 
Registrar of Companies.  The independent auditor's report on those 
financial statements was unqualified. 
 
   2   The 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. 
 
   3   Listed investments are stated at market value based upon bid prices 
at the accounting period end.  The unrealised depreciation or 
appreciation on the valuation of investments are dealt with in the 
revaluation reserve. 
 
   4   Copies of the Interim Statement have been made available to 
shareholders and further copies can be obtained from the Company's 
Registered Office.
