Annual Financial Report

**Summary**
British Smaller Companies VCT2 plc reported a 2.4% return on opening net assets for the year ended 31 December 2025, driven by revenue growth in portfolio companies. The total return increased by 1.30 pence, with a net asset value of 54.40 pence per share. Realisations generated £15.7 million, with a gain of £2.2 million over the opening carrying value. The company made four new investments and 13 follow-on investments totalling £16.1 million. Total dividends paid were 4.00 pence per share, bringing cumulative dividends to 93.25 pence per share. The company allotted £29.2 million from the 2024/25 fundraising and received gross applications of £31.9 million for the 2025/26 offer.
Portfolio performance was strong, with 20 out of 25 companies showing positive revenue growth, and eight growing by 30% or more. Notable valuation increases included Summize (£3.4 million), Xapien (£3.4 million), and Unbiased (£2.1 million). However, some investments, such as Matillion (£3.1 million decrease) and Outpost (£1.7 million decrease), experienced valuation declines due to specific challenges.
The company invested £6.0 million in four new companies and £10.1 million in follow-on investments. Realisations included ACC Aviation (£3.1 million initial proceeds), Elucidat (£3.6 million), and SharpCloud (£5.8 million), with additional deferred consideration expected.
Financial results showed a 1.35 pence per share increase in Total Return, with ongoing charges at 1.95%. The company maintained its VCT qualifying status and complied with all legislative tests.
Looking ahead, the company is optimistic about its portfolios potential, despite macroeconomic uncertainty. It plans to continue supporting portfolio companies with follow-on funding and is well-positioned with strong liquidity to manage risks and capture opportunities.

Implied spot is 51.50 with the stock -0.0% vs 50DMA and +5.6% vs 200DMA. The tape is sitting 74.5% through the 52-week range, which frames the regime as trend mixed.
