RAND CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

March 31, 2013 (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Notes to Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments

(a) At March 31, 2013 restricted securities represented 95% of the fair value of the investment portfolio. Restricted securities are subject to one or more restrictions on resale and are not freely
marketable. Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. has not examined the business descriptions of the portfolio companies. Individual securities with a fair value less than $100,000 are included in Other Investments.

(b) The Date Acquired column indicates the year in which the Corporation acquired its first investment in the company or a predecessor company. Freed
Maxick CPAs, P.C. has not audited the date acquired of the portfolio companies.

(c) The equity percentages estimate the Corporations
ownership interest in the portfolio investment. The estimated ownership is calculated based on the percent of outstanding voting securities held by the Corporation or the potential percentage of voting securities held by the Corporation upon
exercise of warrants or conversion of debentures, or other available data. Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. has not audited the equity percentages of the portfolio companies. The symbol <1% indicates that the Corporation holds an equity
interest of less than one percent.

(d) The Corporation uses Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 Fair Value Measurements
which defines fair value and establishes guidelines for measuring fair value. At March 31, 2013, ASC 820 designates 5% of the Corporations investments as Level 1 and 95% as Level 3 assets. Under the valuation
policy of the Corporation, unrestricted publicly held securities are valued at the average closing bid price for these securities for the last three trading days of the month. Restricted securities are subject to restrictions on resale, and are
valued at fair value as determined by the management of the Corporation and submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. Fair value is considered to be the amount which the Corporation may reasonably expect to receive for portfolio securities
when sold on the valuation date. Valuations as of any particular date, however, are not necessarily indicative of amounts which may ultimately be realized as a result of future sales or other dispositions of securities and these favorable or
unfavorable differences could be material. Among the factors considered in determining the fair value of restricted securities are the financial condition and operating results, projected operations, and other analytical data relating to the
investment. Also considered are the market prices for unrestricted securities of the same class (if applicable) and other matters which may have an impact on the value of the portfolio company.

(e) These investments are non-income producing. All other investments are income producing. Non-income producing investments have not generated cash
payments of interest or dividends including LLC tax related distributions within the last twelve months, or are not expected to going forward.

(f) As of March 31, 2013, the total cost of investment securities approximated $17.4 million. Net unrealized appreciation was approximately $9.8
million, which was comprised of $10.8 million of unrealized appreciation of investment securities and ($1.0) million related to unrealized depreciation of investment securities.

(g) Rand Capital SBIC, Inc. investment.

(h) Reduction in cost and value from previously reported
balances reflects current principal repayment.

(i) Represents interest due (amounts over $50,000 net of reserves) from investment included as
interest receivable on the Corporations Balance Sheet. As of March 31, 2013 there were no amounts exceeding $50,000.

(j)
Non-Control/Non-Affiliate investments are investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliated Investments.

(k) Affiliate
investments are defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), as those Non-Control investments in companies in which between 5% and 25% of the voting securities are owned.

(l) Control investments are defined by the 1940 Act as investments in companies in which more than 25% of the voting securities are owned or where greater
than 50% of the board representation is maintained.

(m) Publicly owned company.

(n) On March 31, 2013, the Corporations shares of Synacor were valued at $2.95 per share in accordance with the
Corporations valuation policy for unrestricted publicly held securities. Subsequent to March 31, 2013, Synacors public share price had a trading range on NASDAQ of $2.58 to $4.17 for the period April 1stthrough May 3, 2013. The Corporation owns 453,643 shares of
Synacor at May 3, 2013 and these shares have a public market value of $3.63 per share or $1.6 million prior to any income tax considerations.

Rand Capital Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

(Unaudited)

Note 1. ORGANIZATION

Rand Capital Corporation (Rand) was incorporated under the laws of New York on February 24, 1969. Rand operates as a publicly traded, closed-end, diversified management company that has
elected to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Rand Capital SBIC, Inc. (Rand SBIC) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rand, operated
as a small business investment company (SBIC) and licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The predecessor of Rand SBIC had originally been organized as a Delaware limited partnership, and was converted into
a New York corporation on December 31, 2008, at which time its operations as a licensed SBIC were continued by the newly formed corporation under its current name. Rand SBICs board of directors is comprised of the directors of Rand, a
majority of whom are not interested persons of Rand or Rand SBIC. Rand and its wholly-owned subsidiary Rand SBIC are referred to herein, collectively, as the Corporation.

The Corporation is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol Rand.

Rand operates Rand SBIC for the same investment purposes and with investments in the same kinds of securities as Rand. The operations of
Rand SBIC are consolidated with those of Rand for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

On February 28, 2012, the SEC
granted an Order of Exemption for Rand with respect to the operations of Rand SBIC to permit certain joint transactions that would otherwise be prohibited by the 1940 Act, but which would not be prohibited if Rand and Rand SBIC were a single entity
and for an exemption from separate reporting requirements for Rand SBIC under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Act (the Exchange Act). At that time, although Rand SBIC was operated as if it were a BDC, it was
registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Upon the Corporations receipt of the order granting the exemption, on March 28, 2012, Rand SBIC filed an election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act pursuant to which it may
now engage in certain transactions which would be permitted if Rand and Rand SBIC were operated as a single entity, but which are not permitted between a parent BDC and a wholly-owned subsidiary BDC without specific exemptions.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of PresentationIn Managements opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been omitted; however, the Corporation believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The interim results for the three months ending
March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

These statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Information contained in this filing should also be reviewed in conjunction
with the Corporations related filings with the SEC prior to the date of this report. Those filings include, but are not limited to, the following:

##### Table of Contents

The Corporations website is www.randcapital.com. The Corporations annual report
on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, charters for the Corporations Board committees and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are available through the
Corporations website.

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Rand and its wholly-owned subsidiary Rand SBIC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash EquivalentsTemporary cash investments having a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Revenue RecognitionInterest Income- Interest income generally is recognized on the accrual basis except where the
investment is in default or otherwise presumed to be in doubt. In such cases, the loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest income is recognized at the time of receipt. A reserve for possible losses on interest receivables is maintained when
appropriate.

The Rand SBIC interest accrual is also regulated by the SBAs Accounting Standards and Financial
Reporting Requirements for Small Business Investment Companies. Under these rules interest income cannot be recognized if collection is doubtful, and a 100% reserve must be established. The collection of interest is presumed to be in doubt
when there is substantial doubt about a portfolio companys ability to continue as a going concern or the loan is in default for more than 120 days. Management also uses other qualitative and quantitative measures to determine the value of a
portfolio investment and the collectability of any accrued interest.

Revenue RecognitionDividend
IncomeThe Corporation may receive distributions from portfolio companies that are limited liability companies and corporations and these distributions are classified as dividend income on the statement of operations. Dividend income is
recognized on an accrual basis when it can be reasonably estimated.

Original Issue DiscountInvestments
may include original issue discount or OID income. This occurs when the Corporation purchases a warrant and a note from a portfolio company simultaneously, which require an allocation of a portion of the purchase price to the warrant and
reduces the note or debt instrument by an equal amount in the form of a note discount or OID. The note is reported net of the OID and the OID is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan. The Corporation recognized $3,873 and $0 in OID
income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Deferred Debenture CostsSBA
debenture origination and commitment costs, which are included in other assets, are amortized ratably over the terms of the SBA debentures and are expensed when the debt is repaid. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013
and 2012 was $25,002 and $55,854, respectively.

SBA LeverageThe Corporation had $4,000,000 in
outstanding SBA leverage at March 31, 2013 and $4,900,000 at December 31, 2012. The Corporation repaid $900,000 in SBA leverage during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The $4,000,000 in outstanding leverage at March 31,
2013 matures in 2022 and 2023. The remaining SBA commitment at March 31, 2013 is $4,000,000 and expires on September 30, 2016.

Net Assets per ShareNet assets per share are based on the number of
shares of common stock outstanding. There are no common stock equivalents.

Supplemental Cash Flow
InformationIncome taxes paid, net of refunds, during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $106,363 and $300, respectively. Interest paid during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $67,525 and
$105,104, respectively. The Corporation converted $163,139 and $25,193 of interest receivable into investments during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Accounting EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stockholders Equity (Net Assets)At
March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were 500,000 shares of $10.00 par value preferred stock authorized and unissued.

On November 1, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Corporations outstanding Common Stock on the open market at prices no greater than the then
current net asset value through November 1, 2013. The Corporation repurchased 208,698 shares during 2012 and 44,100 during 2003 and 2002. At March 31, 2013, the total shares held in treasury were 252,798 with a total cost of $603,794.

Profit Sharing and Stock Option PlanIn 2001 the stockholders of the Corporation authorized the
establishment of an Employee Stock Option Plan (the Option Plan), that provides for the award of options to purchase up to 200,000 common shares to eligible employees. In 2002, the Corporation placed the Option Plan on inactive status as
it developed a new profit sharing plan for the Corporations employees in connection with the formation of its SBIC subsidiary. As of March 31, 2013, no stock options had been awarded under the Option Plan. Because Section 57(n) of
the 1940 Act prohibits maintenance of a profit sharing plan for the officers and employees of a BDC where any option, warrant or right is outstanding under an executive compensation plan, no options will be granted under the Option Plan while any
profit sharing plan is in effect with respect to the Corporation.

In 2002, the Corporation established a Profit Sharing Plan
(the Plan) for its executive officers in accordance with Section 57(n) of the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Corporation will pay its executive officers aggregate profit sharing payments equal to 12% of the net realized capital gains
of its SBIC subsidiary, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation of the SBIC subsidiary, for the fiscal year, computed in accordance with the Plan and the Corporations interpretation of the Plan. Any profit sharing paid
or accrued cannot exceed 20% of the Corporations net income, as defined. The profit sharing payments are split equally between the Corporations two executive officers, who are fully vested in the Plan.

There were no amounts earned pursuant to the Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the year
ended December 31, 2012, the Corporation approved and accrued $246,000 under the profit sharing plan, which was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Income TaxesThe Corporation reviews the tax positions it has taken to determine if they meet a more likely than not threshold for the benefit of the tax position to be
recognized in the financial statements. A tax position that fails to meet the more likely than not recognition threshold will result in the recording of either a reduction of an income tax receivable or a deferred tax asset, or an income tax payable
or a deferred tax liability.

It is the Corporations policy to include interest and penalties related to income tax
liabilities in income tax expense. There were no amounts recognized for interest or penalties related to tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Corporation is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. In general, the Corporations state
income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended December 31, 2008 through 2012. The Corporation does not expect that the amounts of uncertain tax positions will change significantly within the next 12
months.

Concentration of Credit and Market RiskThe Corporations financial instruments potentially
subject it to concentrations of credit risk. Cash is invested with banks in amounts which, at times, exceed insurable limits. Management does not anticipate non-performance by the banks.

At March 31, 2013 Gemcor II, LLC (Gemcor), Liazon Corporation (Liazon), Microcision, LLC (Microcision), BinOptics Corporation
(Binoptics) and Carolina Skiff LLC (Carolina Skiff) represented 38%, 8%, 7%, 7% and 5%, respectively, of the fair value of the Corporations investment portfolio.

Note 3. INVESTMENTS

The Corporation previously adopted Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 820, fair value measurements and disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Loan investments are defined as traditional loan financings with no equity features. Debt investments are defined as debt financings that
include one or more equity features such as conversion rights, stock purchase warrants, and/or stock purchase options. A financing may also be categorized as a debt financing if it is accompanied by the direct purchase of an equity interest in the
company.

The Corporation uses several approaches to determine the fair value of an investment. The main approaches are:



| |  | Loan and debt securities are valued at cost when it is representative of the fair value of an investment or sufficient assets or liquidation proceeds exist from
a sale of a portfolio company at its estimated fair value.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The loan and debt securities may also be valued at an
amount other than the price the security would command in order to provide a yield to maturity equivalent to the current yield of similar debt securities. A loan or debt instrument may be reduced in value if it is judged to be of poor quality,
collection is in doubt or insufficient liquidation proceeds exist.



| |  | Equity securities may be valued using the market approach or income approach. The market approach uses observable prices and other
relevant information generated by similar market transactions. It may include the use of market multiples derived from a set of comparables to assist in pricing the investment. Additionally, the Corporation adjusts valuations if a subsequent
significant equity financing has occurred that includes a meaningful portion of the financing by a sophisticated, unrelated new investor. The income approach employs a cash flow and discounting methodology to value an investment.

##### Table of Contents

ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, used in the Corporations valuation at the measurement
date.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3:
Unobservable and significant inputs to determining the fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their
entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement, which is not necessarily an indication of risks associated with the investment.

Any changes in estimated fair value are recorded in the statement of operations as Net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation.

Under the valuation policy, the Corporation values unrestricted publicly held securities at the average closing bid price for the last
three trading days of the month.

In the valuation process, the Corporation values private securities using the financial
information from these portfolio companies, which may include audited and unaudited financial statements, annual projections and budgets prepared by the portfolio company and other financial and non-financial business information supplied by the
companies managements. This information is used to determine financial condition, performance, and valuation of the portfolio companies. The valuation may be reduced if a companys performance and potential have deteriorated
significantly. If the factors which led to the reduction in valuation are overcome, the valuation may be adjusted.

The fair
value determination of each portfolio investment categorized as Level 3 required one or more of the following unobservable inputs:



| |  |  | Financial information obtained from each portfolio company, including unaudited statements of operations, balance sheets and operating budgets;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Current and projected financial, operational and technological development of the portfolio company;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Current and projected ability of the portfolio company to service its debt obligations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The current capital structure of the business and the seniority of the various classes of equity if a deemed liquidation event were to occur;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Pending debt or capital restructuring of the portfolio company;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Current information regarding any offers to purchase the investment; or past sales transactions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Current ability of the portfolio company to raise additional financing if needed;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in the economic environment which may have a material impact on the operating results of the portfolio company;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Internal occurrences that may have an impact (both positive and negative) on the operating performance of the portfolio company;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Qualitative assessment of key management;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Contractual rights, obligations or restrictions associated with the investment; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Other factors deemed relevant to assess valuation.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

Equity Securities

Equity Securities may include Preferred Stock, Common
Stock, Warrants and Limited Liability Company Interests.

##### Table of Contents

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the
Corporations equity investments are EBITDA and revenue multiples where applicable, the financial and operational performance of the business, or the senior equity preferences which may exist in a deemed liquidation event. Standard industry
multiples may be used when available, however the Corporations portfolio companies are typically small and in early stages of development and these industry standards may be adjusted to more closely match the specific financial and operational
performance of the portfolio company. Due to the nature of certain investments, fair value measurements may be based on other criteria, which may include third party appraisals. Significant changes to the unobservable inputs may result in a
significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

Another key factor used in valuing equity investments is recent
arms-length equity transactions with unrelated new investors entered into by the portfolio company. Many times the terms of these equity transactions may not be identical to the equity transactions between the portfolio company and the Corporation,
and the impact of the difference in transaction terms on the market value of the portfolio company may be difficult or impossible to quantify.

When appropriate the Black-Scholes pricing model is utilized to estimate the fair value of warrants for GAAP accounting purposes. This model requires the use of highly subjective inputs including expected
volatility, expected life, expected dividend rate and expected risk free rate of return in addition to variables for the valuation of minority equity positions in small private and early stage companies. Significant increases (decreases) in any of
these unobservable inputs would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

For recent investments, the
Corporation generally relies on the cost basis, which is deemed to represent the fair value, unless other fair market value inputs are identified causing the Corporation to depart from this basis.

Loan and Debt Securities

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporations debt securities are the financial and
operational performance of the portfolio company as well as the market acceptance for the portfolio companys products or service. These inputs will provide an indicator as to the probability of principal recovery of the investment. The
Corporations debt investments will often be junior secured or unsecured debt securities. Fair value may also be determined based on other criteria where appropriate. Significant changes to the unobservable inputs may result in a significantly
higher or lower fair value measurement. For recent investments, we generally rely on the cost basis, which is deemed to represent the fair value, unless other fair market value inputs are identified causing the Corporation to depart from this level.

The following table provides a summary of the significant unobservable inputs used to fair value the Corporations Level
3 portfolio investments as of March 31, 2013:

The Corporations interim period results could fluctuate as a result of a number of
factors; therefore results for any interim period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of the Corporations financial
condition and results of operations in conjunction with the Corporations consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships among any amounts in the
consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future periods.

FORWARD LOOKING
STATEMENTS

Statements included in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and elsewhere in this report that do not relate to present or historical conditions are forward-looking statements within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and in Section 21F of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Additional oral or written forward-looking statements may be made by the Corporation from time to time, and forward-looking statements may be included in documents that are filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation,
statements relating to the Corporations plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions and are intended to be made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as
believes, forecasts, intends, possible, expects, estimates, anticipates, or plans and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Among the important factors on which such statements are based are assumptions concerning the state of the national economy and the local markets in which the Corporations portfolio companies operate, the state of the securities
markets in which the securities of the Corporations portfolio companies trade or could be traded, liquidity within the national financial markets, and inflation. Forward-looking statements are also subject to the risks and uncertainties
described under the caption Risk Factors contained in Part II, Item 1A of this report.

There may be other
factors not identified that affect the accuracy of the Corporations forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date it is made and, except as required by law, the Corporation undertakes no
obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time that
may cause the Corporations business not to develop as we expect, and we cannot predict all of them.

Overview

The following discussion describes the financial position and operations of Rand Capital Corporation (Rand) and its wholly-owned
subsidiary Rand SBIC, Inc. (Rand SBIC) (collectively, the Corporation).

Rand is incorporated in New York and has
elected to operate as a business development company (BDC) under the 1940 Act. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rand SBIC, operates as a small business investment company (SBIC) regulated by the Small Business Administration
(SBA). On February 28, 2012, the SEC granted an Order of Exemption for Rand with respect to the operations of Rand SBIC under which Rand SBIC was permitted to elect BDC status. On March 28, 2012, Rand SBIC elected BDC status
with the SEC pursuant to which it may now engage in certain transactions which would be permitted if Rand and Rand SBIC were operated as a single entity, but which are not permitted between a parent BDC and a wholly-owned subsidiary BDC without
specific exemption.

The Corporation anticipates that most, if not all, of its investments in the next year will be originated
through the SBIC subsidiary.

Business Developments

The United States and global economic conditions continued to improve throughout 2012 and the first three months of 2013 although a full economic recovery may take longer than expected due to various
national and international issues which may have an adverse economic impact on all businesses, particularly small businesses. To the extent the financial market conditions continue to improve, the Corporation believes its financial condition and the
financial condition of the portfolio companies will improve. It remains difficult to forecast when future exits will happen.

Critical
Accounting Policies

The Corporation prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. A summary of the Corporations critical accounting policies can be found in the
Corporations 2012 Form 10-K under Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Investment Income

The Corporations investment objective is to
achieve long-term capital appreciation on its equity investments while maintaining a current cash flow from its debenture and pass through equity instruments. Therefore, the Corporation invests in a mixture of debenture and equity instruments, which
will provide a current return on a portion of the investment portfolio. The equity features contained in the Corporations investment portfolio are structured to realize capital appreciation over the long-term and may not generate current
income in the form of dividends or interest. In addition, the Corporation earns interest income from investing its idle funds in money market instruments held at well capitalized financial institutions.

Interest from portfolio companies  The portfolio interest income increase is due to the fact the Corporation
originated $2.9 million in new debt instruments during the year ended December 31, 2012 with interest rates ranging from 8% to 15%.

The Corporation ceased accruing interest income on the G-Tec Natural Gas Systems (G-Tec) instrument in 2004.

Interest from other investments  The minor decrease in interest from other investments is primarily due to lower average cash balances during the three months ending March 31, 2013
versus the three months ending March 31, 2012.

Dividend and other investment income  Dividend income is comprised of
distributions from Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) in which the Corporation has invested. The Corporations investment agreements with certain LLCs require the LLCs to distribute funds to the Corporation for payment of income taxes on its
allocable share of the LLCs profits. These portfolio companies may also elect to distribute additional discretionary distributions. These dividends will fluctuate based upon the profitability of the LLCs and the timing of the distributions. In
addition, in the current year the Corporation has begun to receive dividends from a non-LLC portfolio company.

Operating expenses predominately consist of interest expense on outstanding SBA borrowings, compensation
expense, and general and administrative expenses including shareholder and office expenses and professional fees.

The 23% or
$86,117 decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same three month period in 2012 is due primarily to a bad debt recovery during the three months ended March 31, 2013 for $64,654. In
addition, there was a 34% or $32,217 decrease in SBA interest expense. Interest expense decreased due to the fact that the Corporation carried a lower debt balance during the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus the three months ended
March 31, 2012.

As mentioned above, Synacor, is a publicly traded stock, and was marked to market at the end of the
quarter. The stock was valued at a three day average bid price and was discounted due to trading restrictions on the stock.

The Ultra-Scan investment was written down during the three months ended March 31, 2012 after a review by the Corporations
management of Ultra-Scans financials and an analysis of the liquidation preferences of senior securities.

All of these
value adjustments resulted from a review by management using the guidance set forth by ASC 820 and the Corporations established valuation policy.

Net (Decrease) Increase in Net Assets from Operations

The Corporation
accounts for its operations under GAAP for investment companies. The principal measure of its financial performance is net (decrease) increase in net assets from operations on its consolidated statements of operations. For the three
months ended March 31, 2013, the net decrease in net assets from operations was ($197,065) as compared to a net increase in net assets from operations of $205,050 for the same three month period in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Corporations principal objective is to achieve capital appreciation. Therefore, a significant portion of the investment
portfolio is structured to maximize the potential for capital appreciation and certain portfolio investments may be structured to provide little or no current yield in the form of dividends or interest payments.

As of March 31, 2013, the Corporations total liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, was $4,814,203.

Management expects that the cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013, coupled with the $4,000,000 of available SBA leverage and
the scheduled interest and dividend payments on its portfolio investments, will be sufficient to meet the Corporations cash needs throughout the next twelve months. The Corporation is also evaluating potential exits from portfolio companies to
increase the amount of liquidity available for new investments, operating activities and future SBA debenture obligations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Corporations investment activities
contain elements of risk. The portion of the Corporations investment portfolio consisting of equity and debt securities in private companies is subject to valuation risk. Because there is typically no public market for the equity and
equity-linked debt securities in which it invests, the valuation of the equity interests in the portfolio is stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the management of the Corporation and submitted to the Board of Directors
for approval. This is in accordance with the Corporations investment valuation policy (see the discussion of valuation policy contained in Note 3.-Investments in the consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of
this report, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.) In the absence of readily ascertainable market values, the estimated value of the Corporations portfolio may differ significantly from the values that would be placed on the
portfolio if a ready market for the investments existed. Any changes in valuation are recorded in the Corporations consolidated statement of operations as Net unrealized appreciation on investments.

At times the Corporations portfolio may include marketable securities, including marketable securities traded in the
over-the-counter market. In addition, there may be securities in the Corporations portfolio for which no regular trading market exists. In order to realize the full value of a security, the market must trade in an orderly fashion or a willing
purchaser must be available when a sale is to be made. Should an economic or other event occur that would not allow markets to trade in an orderly fashion, the Corporation may not be able to realize the fair value of its marketable investments or
other investments in a timely manner.

As of March 31, 2013, the Corporation did not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements or hedging or similar derivative financial instrument investments.

Item 4. Controls and
Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.The Corporation maintains disclosure controls and procedures that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules
and forms, and that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2013. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure
controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporations controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2013.
