CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

Notes to the
Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments



|a) | At June 30, 2015, restricted securities represented approximately 100% of the fair value of the investment portfolio. Restricted securities are subject to one or more restrictions on resale and are not freely
marketable.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(b) | The Date Acquired column indicates the year in which the Corporation acquired its first investment in the company or a predecessor company.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(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. If applicable, the symbol <1% indicates that the Corporation holds an
equity interest 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 and Disclosures which defines fair value and establishes
guidelines for measuring fair value. At June 30, 2015, ASC 820 designates 100% of the Corporations investments 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 (see Note 3 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 June 30, 2015, the total cost of investment securities approximated $26.5 million. Net unrealized appreciation was approximately $7.8 million, which was comprised of $9.7 million of unrealized appreciation of
investment securities and ($1.9) million related to unrealized depreciation of investment securities. At June 30, 2015, the aggregate gross unrealized gain for federal income tax purposes was $6.3 million and the aggregate gross unrealized loss
for federal income tax purposes was ($1.7) million. The net unrealized gain for federal income tax purposes was $4.6 million based on a tax cost of $29.6 million.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(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.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(j) | Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments are investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate 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 by
the Corporation.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(l) | Control Investments are defined by the 1940 Act as investments in companies in which more than 25% of the voting securities are owned by the Corporation 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) | Payment in kind represents earned interest that is added to the cost basis of the investment.

CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

December 31, 2014 (Continued)









Notes to the Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments



|(a) | At December 31, 2014, restricted securities represented approximately 98% 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.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(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. If applicable, the symbol <1% indicates that the Corporation holds an equity interest 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, 2014, ASC 820 designates 2% of the Corporations investments as Level 1 and 98% 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 (see Note 3 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.

appreciation of investment securities and ($1.8) million related to unrealized depreciation of investment securities. At December 31, 2014, the aggregate gross unrealized gain for federal income tax purposes was $6.1 million and the aggregate
gross unrealized loss for federal income tax purposes was ($1.5) million. The net unrealized gain was $4.6 million based on a tax cost of $25.8 million.

Rand Capital Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

(Unaudited)

Note 1. ORGANIZATION

Rand Capital Corporation (Rand, we, us and our) was incorporated under the laws of New
York in February 1969. We completed our initial public offering in 1971 as an internally managed, closed-end, diversified, management investment company. We have elected to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). As a BDC we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in qualifying
assets and provide managerial assistance to the portfolio companies in which we invest. See Item 1. Business  Regulation, Regulation as a Business Development Company in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2014.

We make the majority of our investments through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Rand Capital SBIC, Inc. (Rand
SBIC), which operates as a small business investment company (SBIC) and has been licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) since 2002. Rand SBICs predecessor was organized as a Delaware limited
partnership and was converted into a New York corporation on December 31, 2008, at which time our operations as a licensed SBIC were continued. Although Rand SBIC was operated as if it were a BDC, it was registered as an investment company
under the 1940 Act. On February 28, 2012, the SEC granted an Order of Exemption for Rand with respect to the operations of Rand SBIC and in March 2012, Rand SBIC filed an election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. 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.

We operate as an internally managed investment company whereby our officers and employees conduct the business of the Corporation under the
general supervision of our Board of Directors. We have not elected to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, we, the Corporation, us, and
our refer to Rand Corporation and Rand Capital SBIC, Inc.

Our corporate office is located in Buffalo, NY and our website
address is www.randcapital.com. We make available free of charge on our website our annual and periodic reports, proxy statements and other information as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Our shares are traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol RAND.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation  It is our opinion, that the accompanying consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted; however, we believe
that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Our interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for our full year.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the
notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Information contained in this filing should also be reviewed in conjunction with our related filings with the SEC prior to the date of this report. Those
filings include, but are not limited to, the following:

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statement of financial position of
cash, interest receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

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 because 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 approved by the Board of Directors. 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. 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 securities have 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.

Qualifying Assets- All of the Corporations investments were made in privately held small business enterprises, that were
not investment companies, were principally based in the United States, and represent qualifying assets as defined by Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act.

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

Rand SBICs 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 a 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.

##### Table of Contents

After reviewing our portfolio companies performance and the circumstances surrounding the
investment, the Corporation ceased accruing interest income on First Wave Products Group, LLC in 2015 and G-TEC Natural Gas Systems in 2004.

The Corporation holds debt securities in its investment portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (PIK) interest provisions. PIK
interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each debt agreement, is periodically added to the principal balance of the debt and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of this interest may be deferred until the time
of debt principal repayment.

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

The Corporation holds preferred equity securities that contain cumulative dividend provisions. Cumulative dividends
are recorded as dividend income, and any dividends in arrears are added to the balance of the preferred equity investment. The actual collection of these dividends in arrears may be deferred until such time as the preferred equity is redeemed.

Revenue Recognition - Fee 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 $9,000 and $4,256 for the six months ended
June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The board fees were $5,000 and $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Original Issue Discount  Investments may include original issue discount or OID income. This occurs when the
Corporation simultaneously purchases a warrant and a note or debt instrument from a portfolio company, 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 $7,746 in OID income for each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
OID income is estimated to be approximately $8,000 for the remainder of 2015, $12,000 for 2016 and $8,000 for 2017.

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 six
months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $13,700 and $11,438, respectively. Amortization over the next five years is estimated to be approximately $27,000 per year.

SBA Debenture - The Corporation had $8,000,000 in outstanding SBA debentures at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014
with a weighted average interest rate of 3.54% as of June 30, 2015. The $8,000,000 in outstanding SBA leverage matures from 2022 through 2025.

The Corporation has consented to the exercise by the SBA of all rights of the SBA under 13 C.F.R. 107.1810(i) SBA remedies for automatic
events of default and has agreed to take all actions that the SBA may so require, which may include our automatic consent to the appointment of SBA or its designee as receiver under Section 311(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of
1958.

Fair Value of SBA Debentures - In March 2015, the SBA pooled its debenture borrowings and they were put to market and
competitively priced. The market rate for these debentures was set at 2.517% excluding a mandatory SBA annual charge estimated to be 0.804%, resulting in a total estimated fixed rate for ten years of 3.321%. 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.

##### Table of Contents

Net Assets per Share - Net assets per share are based on the number of shares of
common stock outstanding. We do not have any common stock equivalents outstanding.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information -
Income taxes paid, net of refunds, during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,344,600 and $1,512,891, respectively. Interest paid during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $128,650 and $98,913, respectively. The
Corporation converted $32,669 and $89,271 of interest receivable into investments during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 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 June 30, 2015 and
December 31, 2014, there were 500,000 shares of $10.00 par value preferred stock authorized and unissued.

On October 23, 2014,
the Board of Directors extended the repurchase authorization for up to 1,000,000 shares of the Corporations outstanding common stock on the open market through October 23, 2015 at prices that are no greater than the then current net asset
value. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the total treasury shares held was 534,496 shares with a total cost of $1,447,491 at June 30, 2015. Therefore, at June 30, 2015, the Corporation had
authorization to purchase up to an additional 465,504 shares of common stock.

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 stock 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 June 30, 2015, 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 stock 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 in the Plan. For purposes of the 20% profit sharing test, the Corporation interprets net income to be the total of the Corporations net investment gain (loss) and its net realized gain (loss) on investments, prior
to inclusion of the estimated profit sharing obligation. 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. During the
year ended December 31, 2014, the Corporation approved and accrued $899,500 under the Plan, of which $717,500 was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2015. 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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

The Corporations uncertain tax positions are not material and are not expected to 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 such banks.

At June 30, 2015, Gemcor II, LLC (Gemcor), Rheonix, Inc. (Rheonix), SciAps, Inc. (Sciaps), Microcision, LLC (Microcision) and Social
Flow, Inc. (Social Flow) represented 29%, 9%, 6%, 6% and 5%, 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 the investment or sufficient assets or liquidation proceeds are expected to 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.



25

##### Table of Contents

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, categorized as Level 1 investments, at the average closing bid price for the last three trading days of the reporting period.

In the valuation process, the Corporation values restricted 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;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 that
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 Membership 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 that 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.

##### Table of Contents

Another key factor used in valuing equity investments is a significant recent arms-length equity
transaction with a non-strategic unrelated new investor 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 changes in any of these unobservable inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value estimate.

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 loan and 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 likely provide an indicator
as to the probability of principal recovery of the investment. The Corporations loan and 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 change in fair value. 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.

The following table provides a summary of the significant unobservable
inputs used to fair value the Corporations Level 3 portfolio investments as of June 30, 2015:

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in
conjunction with the 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, as amended, and in Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Additional oral or written forward-looking statements may be made by us 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 our results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements
relating to our 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 United States economy and the local markets in which our portfolio companies operate, the state of the securities markets in which the securities of the
our portfolio companies could be traded, liquidity within the United States 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 and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

There may be other factors not identified that affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement
speaks only as of the date when it is made and, except as required by law, we undertake 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 our business not to develop as we expect, and we cannot predict all of them.

Overview

We are an internally managed
investment company that lends to and invests in small and medium-sized companies primarily in connection with loans or investments made concurrently by other investors. We have elected to be treated as a business development company
(BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. We make the majority of our investments through our wholly-owned subsidiary,
Rand Capital SBIC, Inc. (Rand SBIC), which operates as a small business investment company (SBIC) and has been licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) since 2002. We anticipate that most, if not
all, of our investments made in the next year will be originated through Rand SBIC.

Outlook

At the end of the second quarter of 2015, we had approximately $6.5 million in cash on hand available for future investments. We believe the
combination of cash on hand and prospective investment income provides sufficient capital for us to continue to add new investments to our portfolio while still reinvesting in existing portfolio companies that continue to demonstrate growth
potential. The following short and long-term trends provide us with confidence in our ability to grow Rand:



| |  |  | We believe that economic conditions in the United States are stable, and we expect that well run businesses should be able to compete effectively given the low cost of capital, strengthening business and consumer
spending, and eager reception of new technologies and service concepts.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Given our increased scale we are able to invest larger amounts in companies, which will provide us with an opportunity to accelerate our rate of growth.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We continue to manage risk by investing alongside other investors, when possible.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We seek to be actively involved with the management and governance of our portfolio companies, which enables us to support their operating and marketing efforts and to facilitate their growth.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | As our portfolio continues to expand, our operating expenses will decline as a percentage of net asset value.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare
our consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States 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 our
critical accounting policies can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 under Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Interest from portfolio companies - Our portfolio interest income decreased during the six months ended June 30,
2015 versus the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to decreases in the principal balances on loan and debt investments with Gemcor, II, LLC (Gemcor) and Carolina Skiff, LLC (Carolina Skiff), respectively.

After reviewing the portfolio companys performance and the circumstances surrounding our investment, we ceased accruing interest income
on First Wave Products Group, LLC (First Wave) during 2015.

Interest from other investments - The increase in interest from other investments is
primarily due to higher average cash balances during the six months ended June 30, 2015 versus the same period in 2014.

Dividend and other
investment income - Dividend income is comprised of distributions from limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations in which we have invested. Our investment agreements with certain LLCs require those LLCs to distribute funds to us for
payment of income taxes on our allocable share of the LLCs profits. These portfolio companies may also elect to make additional discretionary distributions. Dividend income will fluctuate based upon the profitability of these LLCs and
corporations and the timing of the distributions.

Dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of distributions
from Gemcor for $903,359, Carolina Skiff for $51,512, and Tilson Technology Management, Inc. (Tilson) for $6,917. Dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of distributions from Gemcor for $682,981, Monarch Machine Tool
LLC (Monarch) for $45,682, Carolina Skiff for $44,383 and Somerset Gas Transmission Company, LLC (Somerset) for $2,531.

Fee income - Fee 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 financing fees are
amortized ratably over the life of the instrument associated with the fees. The unamortized fees are carried on the balance sheet under the line item Deferred revenue.

The income associated with the amortization of financing fees was $9,000 and $4,256 for the six
months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The income from board fees was $5,000 and $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Comparison of the six months
ended June 30, 2015 to the six months ended June 30, 2014



|                         |  |              |         |  |              |   |         |          |  |   |            |  |  |  |     |

|Total operating expenses |  | $            | 825,277 |  |              | $ | 756,320 |          |  | $ | 68,957     |  |  |  | 9.1 | %

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

The 9.1% or
approximately $69,000 increase in total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same six month period in 2014 is due to an increase in interest expense and bonus and profit sharing expense. The SBA interest
expense increased due to higher outstanding balances on the SBA debt during the first six months of 2015 versus the same period in 2014. The increase in our bonus and profit sharing expense of $45,635 is due to a reduction in the Liazon Corporation
escrow receivable amount during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to reflect the amount actually received from escrow in the second quarter of 2014. There was no such adjustment during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized a net realized gain, before income taxes, of
$262,925 on the sale of 301,582 shares of Synacor, Inc. (Synacor). Synacor trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol SYNC. As of June 30, 2015, we do not own any shares of Synacor.

The First Wave investment was revalued after our management reviewed the portfolio company and its financial condition and determined that a
valuation adjustment was necessary.

The Mezmeriz investment was revalued during the six months ended June 30, 2014 after our management reviewed the portfolio company and
its financial condition and determined that the business of this portfolio company had deteriorated since the time of the original funding. The portfolio company remains in operation and is developing new business strategies.

The valuation of Knoa was decreased during the second quarter of 2014 to value our equity holdings at the price of the most recent insider
round of financing.

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

##### Table of Contents

Net Increase in Net Assets from Operations

We account for our operations under GAAP for investment companies. The principal measure of our financial performance is net increase
(decrease) in net assets from operations on our consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the net increase in net assets from operations was $322,644 and $350,163, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our
principal objective is to achieve growth in net asset value per share through capital appreciation. Therefore, a significant portion of our 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 June 30,
2015, our total liquidity was $6,520,170 in cash.

Management expects that the cash on hand at June 30, 2015, coupled with the
scheduled interest payments from our portfolio investments, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs through the next twelve months. Future exits from portfolio companies may 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

Our investment activities contain elements of risk. The portion of our 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 debt securities in which we invest, the valuation of the equity interests in the portfolio is stated at fair
value as determined in good faith by our management and approved by our Board of Directors. This is in accordance with our 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 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 on the consolidated statement of operations as Net (decrease) increase in unrealized appreciation on
investments.

At times a portion of our portfolio may include marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter market. In
addition, there may be a portion of the 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, we may not be able to realize the fair value of our marketable investments or other investments in a timely manner.

As of June 30, 2015, we 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 June 30, 2015. 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 June 30, 2015.
