Chairman's Statement

This is my first statement as Chairman of Keydata AIM VCT 2 which covers the
period from date of incorporation on 20 September 2006 to 31 August 2007. I
would like to welcome you as a shareholder and thank you for your support in the
launch of the VCT.

The Offer for Subscription closed on 5 April 2007 with gross funds raised of
�4.6 million from 277 investors. The costs of the launch were set at 5% of gross
funds raised and the net proceeds retained by the company were �4.37 million
with an initial asset value per share of 95p. The company commenced trading on 6
April 2007.

Results

The net asset value per ordinary share increased by 3.9% to 98.71 pence during
the period. Earnings per ordinary share for the period were 3.71 pence per share
(comprising revenue earnings of 0.38 pence and capital earnings of 3.33 pence).

The Investment Manager invested �0.44 million in 5 qualifying AIM companies
during the period together with a further �1.7m in 20 non-qualifying equities,
16 of which were disposed (in full or in part) realising a net gain on sale of
�0.15 million in the period. The bid value of qualifying investments at 31
August 2007 was �0.43 million invested in 5 AIM companies. The bid value of
non-qualifying investments at 31 August 2007 was �0.44 million invested in 5
listed or AIM companies. �3.7 million was held on bank deposit. With respect to
the 70% investment test, as at 31 August 2007, 9.7% of the Company's investments
were in qualifying companies. We have until 28 February 2010 to meet the 70%
test.

Dividend

No interim dividend is proposed in respect of the period.

Outlook

We remain confident that we will achieve our required 70% investment in
qualifying companies by February 2010.
