CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to enclose the Half-Yearly Report of Mobeus Income &Growth 2 VCT plc (the "Company") for the period from 1 May 2012 to 31 October2012 (the "Report"). The Company changed its name from Matrix Income & Growth2 VCT plc to Mobeus Income & Growth 2 VCT plc on 29 June 2012.

Performance

The Net Asset Value ("NAV") per Ordinary Share at 31 October 2012was 99.24 pence (30 April 2012: 98.71 pence). The NAV total return sincelaunch was 113.24 pence per share (30 April 2012: 112.71 pence per share).Both represent an increase of 0.5% over the period, mainly due to gains in theinvestment portfolio. This represents slippage against the Board's target forthe Manager of an average total NAV return of 8% per annum, although theprevious two years since this target was set have averaged 10.5% per annum.Shareholders should note that the performance data in my statementrelates to the one Ordinary Share class now in existence, which was formerlycalled the C share class. This single share class was created after a shareclass merger of the former Ordinary and C share class on 10th September 2010.To assist shareholders to monitor the performance of their original Ordinaryor C Share investment in a particular fundraising on a consistent basis, wehave included separate performance data in a table at the end of thisannouncement.

Investment Portfolio

The first six months of the financial year continued to see the UKand global economies struggling to come to terms with the persistingvolatility caused in part by the unresolved debt problems in several of theEurozone countries. We expect the recovery to be slow and uncertain.

However, despite the macro-economic situation, the portfolio hasremained stable. Overall, the portfolio recorded realised and unrealised gainsof £99,858 over the six month period. Apart from one major realisation(Iglu.com) and a new investment in the period (Tessella Holdings Limited) theCompany's investment and portfolio activity were relatively quiet. The newinvestment environment was affected by the continued weakness in the economyand more recently by the uncertainty regarding the future direction of VCT taxregulation. Even though the rate of investment has been low compared to someprevious periods, the Investment Manager is currently considering a number ofpotentially strong opportunities. The Board and the Investment Managercontinue to adopt a cautious approach to completing sufficiently robust newinvestments in this challenging market.

Portfolio Activity

The Company invested £906,762 in the period, into Tessella Limitedvia the acquisition vehicle Sawrey Limited, as part of the Manager's OperatingPartner programme. The sale of Iglu.com in May for an overall return of 2.5times the original investment cost in two and a half years was a pleasingresult. A smaller follow-on investment of £57,143 was made into PXP in June2012 as part of a major re-structuring of the company to enable PXP tocontinue to trade following a sustained period of poor trading in achallenging market. Blaze Signs repaid their entire original loan, generatingproceeds of £356,158, including premium of £82,190. After the period end,£623,480 including premium was repaid in respect of their second loan bringingthe total loan payment proceeds (including interest) to date to £1.45m.

Details of investment activity during the six months to 31 October2012 and a summary of performance highlights in the portfolio can be found inthe Manager's Review below.

Revenue Account

The results for this period are set out on the following pages andshow a revenue gain (after tax) of 0.77 pence per Ordinary Share (30 April2012: gain of 2.03 pence). The total gain (after tax) was 0.40 pence perOrdinary Share (30 April 2012: gain of 5.23 pence).

The revenue return for the period of £191,288 is a fall of £85,766from last year's comparable period. This is principally due to a fall inincome of £67,432 from last year's £520,516 to £453,084 now. This was due inturn to three main factors:-

Revenue returns benefited firstly from an increase in loan stockinterest of £41,235 (being an increase of 12%, compared to the comparableperiod last year). The rise in loan stock interest reflects the new loan stockinvestments made over the last year, namely EMaC Limited, DiGiCo Global andmost recently Tessella Holdings Limited.

Dividend income fell by £103,971, principally because the prioryear included a dividend from DiGiCo of £135,282, but dividends from Vectair,RDL and Focus mitigated this reduction. Lower cash balances than thecomparable period contributed to lower liquidity fund income and bank interestof £10,905.

Expenses charged to the Revenue Account have risen by £13,945. Fundmanagement fees charged to the Income Statement in total have increased by0.68% to £303,820, in line with the slightly higher net assets than theequivalent period last year. Other expenses have also risen by £13,433 in theperiod to £150,097 (2011: £136,664). This increase was due to higherregistrars' fees, audit fees and trail commission costs.

Dividends

The Board's objective is, subject to the availability of sufficientreserves and liquidity, to distribute regular and consistent dividends. TheBoard intends to review the level of dividends to be paid before the year-end.

Liquidity

As a result of the investment activity referred to above, theCompany retains cash liquidity of £4.1 million. The sum has since increased by£623,480 due to the repayment of Blaze in November 2012. When the investmentsin acquisition companies of £6 million are taken into account, the Companyremains well positioned to make new investments and support suitableinvestment opportunities within the portfolio if required.

Investment in qualifying holdings

The Company is required to meet the target set by HM Revenue &Customs ("HMRC") of investing 70% of the funds raised in qualifying unquotedand AIM quoted companies. The Company exceeded this limit (based on VCT costas defined in tax legislation, which differs from the actual cost given in theInvestment Portfolio Summary below) throughout the period. The balance of theportfolio was invested in cash and a selection of readily realisable, moneymarket funds with AAA credit ratings.

Changes to VCT legislation

The enactment of the Finance Act 2012 has ended a period ofuncertainty in finalising the changes to the tax legislation that will applyto VCTs in the future. The principal change that affects the Company is thatthe funds raised after 6 April 2012 can no longer be used by the Manager tocarry out certain types of management buy-out transactions ("MBOs"). However,the Company has a significant amount of cash raised prior to this date that itwill continue to use to pursue its successful strategy of investing in MBOs ofprofitable and cash generative companies.A number of the tests for VCT investment have also been revised bythe Finance Act, enabling VCTs to invest in larger companies with up to 250staff and gross assets of up to £15 million immediately before investment and£16 million immediately after the investment. Also, investee companies can nowreceive up to £5 million in any rolling 12 month period from state-aidedsources, which include VCTs.

Share Buybacks

During the six months ended 31 October 2012 the Company continued to implementits buy-back policy and bought back 80,160 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.32%of the shares in issue at the start of the year, at a total cost of £55,116.The shares above were bought back at a price of 68.4 pence per share. Thisrepresented a discount to the latest announced NAV at the time of 30.7%. Theseshares were subsequently cancelled by the Company.

Selling your shares

The Company's shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange and assuch they can be sold in the same way as any other quoted company through astockbroker. Shareholders wishing to sell their shares are advised to contactthe Company's stockbroker, Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited, by telephoning 0207886 2716 or 2717 before agreeing a price with your stockbroker. Shareholdersare also advised to discuss their individual tax position with their financialadvisor before deciding to sell their shares.

Shareholder communication

The Company maintains a programme of regular communication withShareholders through newsletters and a dedicated website in addition to theCompany's Half-Yearly and Annual Reports.

The Manager has established a new website, which can be accessed bygoing to www.mobeusequity.co.uk. This is regularly updated with information onyour investments including case studies of portfolio companies. The Companycontinues to have its own dedicated section of the website which Shareholdersmay prefer to access directly by going to www.mig2vct.co.uk. This includesperformance tables and details of dividends paid as well as copies of pastreports to shareholders.As we informed Shareholders in last year's Annual Report, we haveadopted electronic communications because we believe that this is the mostefficient way of communicating with Shareholders as well as making savings tothe Company on postage and printing costs. Accordingly, we previously informedShareholders that the principal method of communicating with them would be byemail, but offered them the opportunity to elect to continue to receiveprinted copies of communications through the post. Shareholders who havereplied will, depending on the option chosen, receive either an emailnotifying them that documents have been placed on the Company's website orprinted copies of these documents through the post. If they have not replied,they will receive a letter notifying them that documents have been placed onthe Company's website but will be given another opportunity to select one ofthese two communication options.

Shareholder workshop

We received positive feedback from the second shareholder workshop,held in January 2012, which was attended by nearly 100 Mobeus VCTshareholders. It is intended that this will be an annual event andshareholders should have already received an invitation to attend either thelunchtime or evening session at the next workshop which is to be held on 29January 2013. The workshops will include presentations from the Manager on theportfolio as a whole and from a successful entrepreneur from one of the VCT'sinvestee companies.

Industry awards for the Investment Manager

It is pleasing to report that Mobeus won the award for VCT of theYear 2012 at the Investor AllStars Award 2012. It was also named VCT House ofthe Year 2012 at the Unquote" British Private Equity Awards 2012. Thecitations for these awards recognised Mobeus' outstanding performance inachieving record realisations during the year. The Board is delighted that thework of the Investment Manager has been acknowledged in this way.

Outlook

The recent changes to the VCT legislation referred to above are notexpected to affect the Company's performance unduly for the next few years. Weare continuing to monitor developments in the industry, including the recentconsultation paper published by the FSA on the promotion of VCT shares toretail investors and the implementation of the Retail Distribution Review. Anyresulting impact on the fund will be reported to shareholders.

The UK economy remains relatively depressed, with only minimaleconomic growth being forecast. In such an environment, your Board andInvestment Manager will remain vigilant about the potential impact on theportfolio and cautious when evaluating new opportunities.

For and on behalf of the Board:

Nigel MelvilleChairman14 December 2012INVESTMENT POLICY

The VCT's policy is to invest primarily in a diverse portfolio ofUK established, profitable, unquoted companies in order to generate capitalgains from trade sales and flotations.

Investments are structured as part loan and part equity in order toreceive regular income and to provide downside protection in the event ofunder-performance.

Investments are made selectively across a number of sectors,primarily in management buyout transactions (MBOs) i.e. to support incumbentmanagement teams in acquiring the business they manage but do not own.Investments are primarily made in companies that are established andprofitable.

Uninvested funds are held in cash and low risk money market funds.

VCT regulation

The investment policy is designed to ensure that the VCT continuesto qualify and is approved as a VCT by HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC").

Amongst other conditions, the VCT may not invest more than 15% ofits investments in a single company and must achieve at least 70% by value ofits investments throughout the period in shares or securities comprised in VCTqualifying holdings, of which a minimum overall of 30% by value (70% for fundsraised after 6 April 2011) must be ordinary shares which carry no preferentialrights (save as may be permitted under VCT rules). In addition, although theVCT can invest less than 30% (70% for funds raised after 6 April 2011) of aninvestment in a specific company in ordinary shares it must have at least 10%by value of its total investments in each VCT qualifying company in ordinaryshares which carry no preferential rights (save as may be permitted under VCTrules).UK CompaniesThe companies in which investments are made must have no more than£15 million of gross assets at the time of investment to be classed as a VCTqualifying holding. The additional £7.3 million funds raised by the Companyafter 6 April 2006 are subject to a £7 million gross assets test for aninvestment to be VCT qualifying.

Asset mix

We aim to hold at least 80% of the Company's net assets inqualifying investments. The balance of the portfolio is held in readilyrealisable interest bearing investments and deposits.

Risk diversification and maximum exposures

Risk is spread by investing in a number of different businessesacross different industry sectors. To reduce the risk of high exposure toequities, each qualifying investment is structured using a significantproportion of loan stock (up to 70% of the total investment in each VCTqualifying company). Initial investments in VCT qualifying companies aregenerally made in amounts ranging from £200,000 to £1 million at cost. Ongoingmonitoring of each investment is carried out by the Manager generally throughtaking a seat on the Board of each VCT qualifying company.

Co-investment

The VCT aims to invest alongside three other Income and Growth VCTsadvised by the Manager with a similar investment policy. This enables the VCTto participate in combined investments by the Investment Manager of up to £5million.Borrowing

The VCT has no borrowing and does not have any current plans forfuture borrowings.

Management

The Board has overall responsibility for the Company's affairsincluding the determination of its investment policy. Investment anddivestment proposals are originated, negotiated and recommended by the Managerand are then subject to formal approval by the Directors. Mobeus EquityPartners LLP provides Investment Advisory, Company Secretarial and Accountancyservices to the VCT.INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REVIEWOverviewIt was harder to complete new investments in the six month periodunder review, partially due to the second dip into recession which reviveduncertainty surrounding the extent and depth of the recovery. Lack of clarityregarding changes to VCT regulations further dampened the fragile market.Nonetheless, dealflow has improved in recent months, at least in terms of thenumber of deals coming forward, although concluding transactions has continuedto be difficult. We have a number of interesting opportunities in the pipelineand are therefore hopeful that the pace of new investment will increase again.Uncertainty over the future persists, particularly amongst potential sellersof businesses, but our investment approach combining debt and equity continuesto be attractive to companies seeking investment in a market whereavailability of bank finance remains patchy at best. This means thatmanagement buy-out teams are frequently turning to us as a reliable source offunding for their plans.

The VCT and the Investment Manager are broadening the scope of thedeals which we target by identifying opportunities to invest more capital tosupport the expansion of successful businesses in the existing portfolio,including where appropriate, deploying loan funding to support portfoliocompanies' growth plans.

We believe that the VCT's strategy of investing in well-structuredMBO deals; supporting highly motivated management teams; focusing on acquiringestablished, profitable, positive cashflow businesses; and investing partly inincome yielding loan stocks substantially increases the downside protection toShareholders' capital. We have noted the recent change in VCT legislationpreventing certain types of MBOs, but also note that this restriction does notapply to the substantial level of funds held by the VCT from earlierfundraisings.The strategy above is executed by retaining and developing aportfolio of successful companies until each has reached the optimal point fora profitable realisation. In the meantime, the portfolio routinely benefitsfrom returns of loan stock interest, dividends and loan repayments, during thelife of an investment.New investmentOne new investment was completed during the six months period underreview. In July 2012, the Company invested £906,762 in Tessella, resulting ina partial refund of the Company's existing investment of £1 million in theacquisition vehicle Sawrey, to support the MBO of Tessella, an internationalprovider of science-powered technology and consulting services. Founded in1980, the company delivers innovative and cost-effective solutions to complexreal-world commercial and technical challenges such as developing smarter drugtrials, and minimising risk in oil and gas exploration. This company has madean encouraging start since investment.We are confident that our Operating Partner programme will continueto generate successful investments for the Company and accordingly £6 millionis held in six acquisition vehicles. These companies continue to pursue anactive search for investment opportunities. Each of the acquisition vehiclesis headed by an experienced Chairman, well known to us, who is working closelywith us in seeking to identify and complete investments in specific sectorsrelevant to their industry knowledge and experience. We have established thesecompanies to provide time for us to identify and invest in suitable targetcompanies at sufficiently attractive valuations.

Follow-on investments

Only one investee company received further funds in the period. Asmall follow-on investment of £57,143 was made into PXP Holdings in June 2012as part of a major re-structuring of the company following a sustained periodof poor trading in a challenging market. Trading in recent months has startedto show improvement.Realisations

Against an uncertain economic background, we are pleased to reportrealisations during the six months under review. During the period these havegenerated net cash of £1.89m (excluding Sawrey's partial refund of £93k).

In May 2012, the Company realised its entire investment in Iglu.comHolidays, the specialist online ski and cruise holiday travel agent, for cashproceeds and interest of £1.46 million through a sale to Growth CapitalPartners. This realisation contributed to total cash proceeds of £2.53 millionto the Company over the two and a half year life of the investment,representing a 2.53 times return on the Company's original investment of £1million. We have supported this established online ski agent through a periodof rapid growth in its cruise holiday business since the MBO in December 2009.Iglu is now one of the leading distributors of cruise holidays, in the UK, andthe largest independent retailer of ski holidays. The company's revenues nowexceed £90 million.

A total of £433,528 (including any premiums paid) has also beenreceived in loan stock repayments from portfolio companies during the sixmonths to 31 October 2012.

Blaze Signs repaid a total of £356,158 in three separate paymentsreceived between May and August 2012 and Fullfield Limited made a scheduledpayment of £77,370 in July 2012.

Portfolio review

The portfolio at 31 October 2012 comprised thirty investments(2011: twenty-eight) with a cost of £22.8 million (2011: £19.6 million) andvalued at £20.5 million (2011: £21 million). On a like for like basis theportfolio has increased by 0.59% compared with the valuations prevailing at 30April 2012. Over the same period the FTSE All-Share and FTSE SmallCap indiceshave risen by 1.33% and 4.41% respectively.The portfolio's performance as a whole continues to be robust. ATGMedia and DiGiCo continue to be the strongest performers. Blaze has made asteady recovery from the difficulties it experienced during the economicdownturn, enabling it to repay part of its loans as noted above. Focus isexpected to exceed its budget, is performing well on product development andhas a healthy pipeline of new products. Fullfield has maintained its solidstart and cash generation at this company has been strong, as evidenced by itsearly partial repayment of its loan stock during the year.British International has had a difficult year, with further fallsin passenger journeys on its scheduled route to the Isles of Scilly leading toa material reduction in group profitability; this was compounded by the delaysin completing the sale to Sainsbury of its heliport in Penzance, which wasdependent on full planning permission being granted. However, completionfinally took place in October 2012 and the substantial receipt enabled thecompany to fully repay its bank borrowings.

The continuing downturn in the construction and house buildingsectors continues to affect the performance of PXP and Plastic Surgeon,although management have worked well to reposition both of these businessesand make the necessary cuts in costs. The market environment for Youngmanremains uncertain, although it has now fully repaid its bank debt and is wellpositioned to benefit from any upturn in its markets. Faversham has beenstreamlining its operations although progress is slower than anticipated.

Outlook

The outlook for the UK economy is still uncertain, but we arehopeful that we are entering a healthy period of new investment during thelatter part of the year. We continue to be conscious of the need to ensurethat investee companies take appropriate actions to respond to the challengingenvironment ahead. We are maintaining a prudent approach to making newinvestments and ensuring that the portfolio remains well capitalised. We areconfident that good returns can continue to be earned for investors.Mobeus Equity Partners LLP14 December 2012INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO SUMMARYas at 31 October 2012 Date of Total first Book cost Valuation Valuation % of investment/ at 31 at 30 at 31 net Sector October April 2012 October assets 2012 2012 by value £ £ £Qualifying investments AiM quoted investmentsOmega Diagnostics Group plc December 2010 214,998 259,789 246,352 1.0%In vitro diagnostics for Pharmaceuticalsfood intolerance,auto-immune diseases andinfectious diseasesVphase plc (formerly March 2001 254,586 1,014 697 0.0%Flightstore Group plc)Development of energy Electronic andsaving devices for domestic electricaluse equipment 469,584 260,803 247,049 1.0% Unquoted investmentsATG Media Holdings Limited October 2008 767,907 1,865,911 1,969,924 8.0%Publisher and online Media

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

1. Principal accounting policies

The following accounting policies have been applied consistentlythroughout the period. Full details of principal accounting policies will bedisclosed in the Annual Report.

a) Basis of accounting

The unaudited results cover the six months to 31 October 2012 andhave been prepared under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP),consistent with the accounting policies set out in the statutory accounts forthe year ended 30 April 2012 and the 2009 Statement of Recommended Practice,`Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture CapitalTrusts' ("the SORP") issued by the Association of Investment Companies. Thefinancial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention exceptfor the revaluation of certain investments.

The Half-yearly Report has not been audited, nor has it beenreviewed by the auditor pursuant to the Financial Reporting Council (FRC)'sguidance on Review of Interim Financial Information.

b) Presentation of the Income Statement

In order to better reflect the activities of a VCT and inaccordance with the SORP, supplementary information which analyses the IncomeStatement between items of a revenue and capital nature has been presentedalongside the Income Statement. The revenue column of profit attributable toequity shareholders is the measure the Directors believe appropriate inassessing the Company's compliance with certain requirements set out inSection 274 Income Tax Act 2007.

c) Investments

Investments are accounted for on a trade date basis

All investments held by the Company are classified as "fair valuethrough profit and loss" as the Company's business is to invest in financialassets with a view to profiting from their total return in the form of capitalgrowth and income. For investments actively traded in organised financialmarkets, recognition and fair value is determined by reference to StockExchange market trading rules and quoted bid prices at the close of businesson the balance sheet date.

Unquoted investments are valued by the Directors at `fair valuethrough profit and loss'. Accordingly, in the absence of a market price, theDirectors have valued unquoted investments in accordance with InternationalPrivate Equity Venture Capital Valuation (IPEVCV) guidelines as updated inSeptember 2009.

All investments are held at the price of a recent investment for anappropriate period where there is considered to have been no change in fairvalue. Where such a basis is no longer considered appropriate, the followingfactors will be considered:

(i) Where a value is indicated by a material arms-lengthtransaction by an independent third party in the shares of a company, thisvalue will be used.

(ii) In the absence of i), and depending upon both the subsequenttrading performance and investment structure of an investee company, thevaluation basis will usually move to either:-

a) an earnings multiple basis. The shares may be valued by applyinga suitable price-earnings ratio to that company's historic, current orforecast post-tax earnings before interest and amortisation (the ratio usedbeing based on a comparable sector but the resulting value being adjusted toreflect points of difference identified by the Investment Manager compared tothe sector including, inter alia, a lack of marketability).

or:-

b) where a company's underperformance against plan indicates adiminution in the value of the investment, provision against cost is made, asappropriate. Where the value of an investment has fallen permanently belowcost, the loss is treated as a permanent impairment and as a realised loss,even though the investment is still held. The Board assesses the portfolio forsuch investments and, after agreement with the Investment Manager, will agreethe values that represent the extent to which an investment loss has becomerealised. This is based upon an assessment of objective evidence of thatinvestment's future prospects, to determine whether there is potential for theinvestment to recover in value.

(iii) Premiums on loan stock investments are accrued at fair valuewhen the Company receives the right to the premium and when consideredrecoverable.

(iv) Where an earnings multiple or cost less impairment basis isnot appropriate and overriding factors apply, discounted cash flow or netasset valuation bases may be applied.

d) Capital gains and losses

Capital gains and losses on investments, whether realised orunrealised, are dealt with in the profit and loss and revaluation reserves andmovements in the period are shown in the Income Statement.

2. The Company revoked its status as an investment company on 7September 2005, so that it can regard realised capital profits as part of theprofits available for distribution.

4. Investment management expense

Under the terms of an investment management agreement dated 10September 2010, Mobeus provides investment advisory, administrative andcompany secretarial services to the Company, for a fee of 2.0% per annumcalculated on a quarterly basis by reference to the net assets at the end ofthe preceding quarter, plus a fee of £113,589 per annum, the latter beingsubject to changes in the retail prices index each year. In accordance withthe policy statement published under "Management and Administration" in theCompany's prospectus dated 10 May 2000, the Directors have charged 75% of theinvestment management expenses to the capital account. This is in line withthe Board's expectation of the long-term split of returns from the investmentportfolio of the Company.5. Taxation

There is no tax charge in the period as the Company has tax lossesin the current year as tax deductible expenditure charged against the capitalreturn exceeds the taxable revenue return.
