RAND CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

March 31, 2014 (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments

a) At March 31, 2014 restricted securities represented approximately 96% 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 audited 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) Each equity percentage estimates the
Corporations ownership interest in the applicable 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. As of March 31, 2014, the Corporation held no equity interests of less than one percent.

(d) The Corporations investments are carried at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 Fair Value
Measurements which defines fair value and establishes guidelines for measuring fair value. At March 31, 2014, ASC 820 designates 4% of the Corporations investments as Level 1 and 96% 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 (also see Note 2 Investments to the
consolidated financial statements).

(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 do so going forward.

(f) As of March 31, 2014, the total cost of investment securities approximated $19.5 million. Net unrealized appreciation was approximately $8.8 million,
which was comprised of $9.9 million of unrealized appreciation of investment securities and ($1.1) 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 Statement of Financial Position. As of March 31, 2014 there were no interest receivable 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) | Gemcor II, LLC is an unconsolidated significant subsidiary as defined in SECs Regulation S-X.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(n) | Publicly owned company.
|--- | -----------------------

(o) On March 31, 2014, the Corporations shares of Synacor were valued at
$2.46 per share in accordance with the Corporations valuation policy for unrestricted publicly held securities (Level 1). See Synacors publicly disclosed financial reports at SEC.gov for additional information on Synacors industry,
financial results and business operations.

RAND CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

December 31, 2013 (Continued)

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments

(a) At December 31, 2013 restricted securities represented approximately 96% 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 audited 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) Each equity percentage estimates the
Corporations ownership interest in the applicable 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. As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation held no equity interests of less than one percent.

(d) The Corporations investments are carried at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 Fair Value
Measurements which defines fair value and establishes guidelines for measuring fair value. At December 31, 2013, ASC 820 designates 4% of the Corporations investments as Level 1 and 96% 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 (also see Note 2 Investments to the
consolidated financial statements).

(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 do so going forward.

(f) As of December 31, 2013, the total cost of investment securities approximated $19.9 million. Net unrealized appreciation was approximately $8.5
million, which was comprised of $9.9 million of unrealized appreciation of investment securities and ($1.49) 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 Statement of Financial Position. As of December 31, 2013 there were no interest receivable 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) Gemcor II, LLC is an
unconsolidated significant subsidiary as defined in SECs Regulation S-X.

(n) Publicly owned company.

(o) On December 31, 2013, the Corporations shares of Synacor were valued at $2.46 per share in accordance with the Corporations valuation
policy for unrestricted publicly held securities (Level 1). See Synacors publicly disclosed financial reports at SEC.gov for additional information on Synacors industry, financial results and business operations.

Rand Capital Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

(Unaudited)

Note 1. ORGANIZATION

Rand Capital Corporation (Rand) was incorporated under the laws of New York in February 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, operating 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 similar loan and equity 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 Securities
and Exchange Commission (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 to permit an exemption from separate reporting requirements for Rand SBIC under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

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 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 an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsThe carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statement of financial position of
cash and cash equivalents, interest receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of SBA debentures is a reasonable
estimate of fair value because stated interest rates approximate current interest rates that are available for debt with similar terms.

Investment ClassificationIn accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Corporation classifies its investments by
level of control. Under the 1940 Act Control Investments are investments in companies that the Corporation is deemed to Control. The Corporation is deemed to control a portfolio company if it owns more than 25% of the voting
securities of the company or has greater than 50% representation on the companys board. Affiliate Investments are companies in which the Corporation owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities. Non-Control/Non-Affiliate
Investments are those companies that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.

InvestmentsInvestments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Management of the Corporation and
submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. The Corporation invests in loan instruments, debt instruments, and equity instruments. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value
requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistent valuation process for each investment. The Corporation analyzes and values each investment quarterly, and records
unrealized depreciation for an investment that it believes has become impaired, including where collection of a loan or realization of the recorded value of an equity security is doubtful. Conversely, the Corporation will record unrealized
appreciation if it believes that an underlying portfolio company has appreciated in value and, therefore, its equity security has also appreciated in value. These estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready
market for the investments existed and these differences could be material if the Corporations assumptions and judgments differ from results of actual liquidation events.

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.

##### Table of Contents

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 requires 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 in OID income for
each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013
was $5,718 and $25,002, respectively. Future amortization over the next five years is estimated to be approximately $23,000 per year.

SBA LeverageThe Corporation had $7,000,000 in outstanding SBA leverage at March 31, 2014 and December 31,
2013. The $7,000,000 in outstanding leverage at March 31, 2014 matures in 2022 through 2024. The remaining undrawn SBA commitment at March 31, 2014 is $1,000,000 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, 2014 and 2013 were $1,348,753 and $106,363, respectively. Interest paid during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $98,913 and $67,525, respectively. The Corporation converted $19,882 and $163,139 of
interest receivable into investments during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 500,000 shares of
$10.00 par value preferred stock authorized and unissued.

On October 24, 2013 the Board of Directors increased the repurchase authorization from
500,000 to 1,000,000 shares of the Corporations outstanding common stock on the open market at prices no greater than the then current net asset value through October 24, 2014. The Corporation repurchased 26 shares during the three months
ended March 31, 2014 for a total cost of $80 and an average cost of $3.06/share. The Corporation had previously purchased 451,116 shares during 2013, 2012, 2003 and 2002. At March 31, 2014 the total shares held in treasury were 451,142
with a total cost of $1,190,199.

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, 2014 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, each of whom is fully vested in the Plan.

There were no amounts earned pursuant to the Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013. During the year
ended December 31, 2013, the Corporation approved and accrued $887,244 under the Plan, of which $784,560 was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

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 consolidated financial statements. A tax position that fails to meet the more likely than not recognition threshold will result in either a reduction of a current or
deferred tax asset or receivable, or the recording of a current or 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, 2014 or 2013.

The Corporation is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended
December 31, 2011 through 2013. In general, the Corporations state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended December 31, 2009 through 2013. 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, 2014 Gemcor II, LLC (Gemcor), Rheonix, Inc. (Rheonix), Microcision, LLC (Microcision), and Carolina Skiff
LLC (Carolina Skiff) and BinOptics Corporation (Binoptics) represented 36%, 8%, 7%, 6% and 6%, respectively, of the fair value of the Corporations investment portfolio.

Note 3. INVESTMENTS

The Corporations investments are carried at fair value in accordance with 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.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used
to measure their fair value.

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

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

##### Table of Contents

In the valuation process, the Corporation values private securities, categorized as Level 3
investments, using financial information from these portfolio companies, which may include:



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



| |  |  | Current and projected financial, operational and technological developments 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.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

This information is used to determine
financial condition, performance, and valuation of the portfolio companies. The valuation may be reduced if a portfolio companys performance and potential have deteriorated significantly. If the factors which led to a reduction in valuation
are overcome, the valuation may be readjusted.

Equity Securities

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

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, and 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, such as variances in financial performance from expectations, 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. 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 used to estimate the fair value of warrants for accounting purposes. This model requires the use of highly subjective inputs including expected volatility and expected life, in addition to variables for the
valuation of minority equity positions in small private and early stage companies. Significant increases or decreases in any of these unobservable inputs would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

##### Table of Contents

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, similar debt with similar terms with other portfolio companies, as well as the market acceptance for the portfolio companys products or services. These inputs will provide an
indicator as to the probability of principal recovery of the investment. The Corporations debt investments are often 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, 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 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, 2014:

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 Exchange Act. 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 and, together with Rand, 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 the first three months of 2014. 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 investment 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 2013 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 decrease is due to the fact the Corporation
recognized a realized loss on Emerging Med during the fourth quarter of 2013. This investment had generated approximately $38,000 in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

After reviewing the portfolio companies performance and the circumstances surrounding the investments, the Corporation ceased accruing
interest income on Mezmeriz in 2014.

Interest from other investmentsThe increase in interest from other investments is primarily due to
higher average cash balances during the three months ending March 31, 2014 versus the three months ending March 31, 2013.

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.

Dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted
of a distribution from Gemcor for $283,086 and Carolina Skiff LLC (Carolina Skiff) for $30,833. Dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 consisted of a distribution from Gemcor for $535,290.

Other incomeOther income consists of the revenue associated with the amortization of financing fees charged to the portfolio companies upon
successful closing of Rand SBIC financings and income associated with portfolio company board attendance fees. The income associated with the amortization of financing fees was $2,183 and $1,850 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and
2013, respectively. The board fees were $3,500 and $1,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The 33% or
$94,206 increase in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same three month period in 2013 is due primarily to the fact that the Corporation had a bad debt recovery for $64,654 in the three months ended

Synacor, as a publicly traded stock, is marked to market at the end of each quarter. The Corporation valued
its 453,643 shares of Synacor at a three day average bid price of $2.95 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The NDT
investment value was adjusted for royalties received.

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) in net assets from operations on its consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the net decrease in net assets from operations was ($169,613) and ($197,065),
respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Corporations principal objective is to achieve growth in net asset value per share through 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, 2014, the Corporations total liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, was $7,365,860.

Management expects that the cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2014, coupled with the $1,000,000 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, 2014, 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 Exchange Act 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, 2014. 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, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
during the Corporations most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporations internal control over financial reporting.
