                               Interim Statement

                                 For the period

                       11 January 2002 to 31 August 2002

                        Statement on behalf of the Board

Oxford Technology 3 VCT remains open for investment, having raised approximately
#4m by 31 August 2002, the date of the first interim accounts.

In the first four months of its existence, OT3VCT has made six investments, two
in new companies, and four smaller investments in companies in which OTVCT and/
or OT2VCT have already invested. Launch costs for the fund were capped at 4p per
share and the net assets per share at 31 August 2002 were 96p.

Details of all these investments are given in the October 2002 newsletter. While
OT3VCT is a very recent fund so that no significant developments have yet
occurred within the portfolio, the Board is pleased with the development of the
portfolio so far, and also pleased with the large number of good quality
investment proposals which are being received.

On behalf of the Board
