Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to report that your company made good progress in the year ended 29
February 2008.

Investment Update

On 27 June 2007, Keydata Income VCT 2 ("the company") invested �6,227,000 in a
series of renewable energy power generation projects based on the technology of
the gasification of recycled wood. The Company's principal partners in these
projects are Biomass Engineering Limited ("Biomass") a leading company in the
field of sustainable energy (see www.biomass-uk.com) and Centralgrange
Environmental Waste Limited ("CEW") a business based in St Helens, Lancashire
specialising in waste reclamation. Advance tax clearance has been obtained from
HMRC to confirm that these investments will be qualifying investments for VCT
purposes. The investments made in the period represent 90% of total funds
raised, comfortably ahead of the required 70% investment within 3 years. The
other 10% of funds (amounting to �693,000 at 29 February 2008) are held on bank
deposit.

The Company invested an aggregate of �4,248,000 in five newly formed renewable
energy companies (RECs). It is intended that each REC will build, own and
operate either a 1 megawatt (MW) or 0.5 MW Gasification Unit in St Helens,
Merseyside, to be fuelled by clean recycled wood provided by CEW which operates
a waste reclamation station on the site. Planning permission has been granted in
respect of the Gasification Units. The total annual operating capacity of the 5
RECs will be 4.5 MW of electricity (sufficient to fuel 4,500 homes), four
companies producing 1MW and one company producing 0.5MW. Biomass will provide
the Gasification Units and construction is underway with completion and grid
connection scheduled to be on or before 31 March 2009.

The sub-station construction is currently well advanced. On completion of the
civil works, final assembly and testing of the gasification units and fuel feed
system will commence. The completion date has slipped 5 months from our original
completion date due to various technical and operational issues which have now
been resolved.

Under the terms of their investments, the RECs have each entered into a long
term contract to supply all their electricity and heat to a newly formed
company, Docherty Heat and Energy Distributor Limited and have agreed tolling
fees. The effect of this arrangement will be to reduce the financial risk of the
REC investments that would otherwise arise from potentially volatile feedstock
and electricity prices.

The company has also invested an aggregate of �1,979,000 in two newly formed
RECs set up to supply various support services (eg fuel feed system, condensate
filter and cooling tower and the plant required to connect to grid) to the five
operating companies detailed above.

Finally, at the same time, the company has made a small non-qualifying
investment in Docherty Heat and Energy Distributor Limited for a 5% equity
interest. This will provide the opportunity for the company to benefit directly
in the event of sustained high electricity prices.

Results

The net asset value per share at 29 February 2008 was 98.00 pence, an increase
of 2.3% in the year. Adjusted for dividends paid of 1.33p, the total return is
99.33 pence, a 4.6% uplift since launch.

Earnings per share for the period were 3.23 pence per share (comprising revenue
earnings of 3.23 pence and capital earnings of nil).

Dividends

A final dividend of 3 pence per share is proposed payable on 30 June 2008,
subject to AGM approval, to shareholders on the register on 6 June 2008.

Outlook

Although disappointed at the delay in expected commissioning to March 2009, the
underlying spike in power prices provides confidence that the investments will
meet the Company's investment objectives and enable a target dividend of 5 pence
per annum once fully operational.

The Company intends to establish a share buy back scheme after the investments
are fully operational and generating sufficient cash flow.

Shareholder Communication

The Company's daily share price can be found on various financial websites under
the EPIC code "KIV2" or on our own dedicated website at
