For each positive integer n let N2, n denote the variety of all groups which are nilpotent of class at most 2 and which have exponent dividing n. For positive integers m and n, let N2, mN2, n denote the variety of all groups which have a normal subgroup in N2, m with factor group in N2, n. It is shown that if G ∈N2, mN2, n, where m and n are coprime, then G has a finite basis for its identities.
