[10-Q] Rand Capital Corp Quarterly Earnings Report
Rand Capital (RAND) Q2-25 10-Q highlights: Net assets slid to $56.7 m from $65.3 m at 12/31/24, driving NAV/share down 24.5% to $19.10. The decline was driven by $10.2 m of unrealized depreciation, mainly within affiliate holdings, which more than offset stronger net investment income.
Income statement: Total investment income fell 25% YoY to $1.6 m as interest from portfolio companies contracted. A $1.49 m reversal of capital-gains incentive fees swung expenses to a $0.86 m benefit, producing $2.48 m net investment income versus a $0.52 m loss last year. However, the unrealized mark-downs produced a $7.74 m net decrease in net assets from operations (-$2.60/share).
Balance sheet & liquidity: Portfolio fair value dropped 26% to $52.4 m; cash rose to $4.4 m after fully paying down a $0.6 m credit-line balance. Liabilities shrank to $0.93 m (vs. $7.12 m) as incentive fee and dividend accruals were cleared.
Portfolio mix: Level-3 investments represent 100% of holdings; affiliate positions dominate (75% of NAV). Key exposures include Seybert鈥檚 Billiards (14.3% of NAV) and BMP Food Service Supply (12.3%). Control assets are just 3.5% of NAV.
Cash flow & capital return: Operations generated $8.1 m largely from loan repayments. RAND paid $3.9 m cash dividends YTD and declared an additional $0.86 m stock dividend.
Rand Capital (RAND) Q2-25 10-Q punti salienti: Gli attivi netti sono scesi a 56,7 milioni di dollari da 65,3 milioni al 31/12/24, causando un calo del NAV per azione del 24,5% a 19,10 dollari.

Points cl茅s du 10-Q du 2T-25 de Rand Capital (RAND) : Les actifs nets ont chut茅 脿 56,7 M$ contre 65,3 M$ au 31/12/24, entra卯nant une baisse du NAV par action de 24,5 % 脿 19,10 $. Cette baisse est due 脿 une d茅pr茅ciation non r茅alis茅e de 10,2 M$, principalement au sein des participations affili茅es, qui a plus que compens茅 une hausse des revenus nets d'investissement.
Compte de r茅sultat : Le revenu total des investissements a diminu茅 de 25 % en glissement annuel pour atteindre 1,6 M$, en raison de la contraction des int茅r锚ts provenant des soci茅t茅s du portefeuille. Une reprise de 1,49 M$ des frais d'incitation sur les plus-values a transform茅 les charges en un b茅n茅fice de 0,86 M$, g茅n茅rant un revenu net d'investissement de 2,48 M$ contre une perte de 0,52 M$ l'an dernier. Cependant, les d茅pr茅ciations non r茅alis茅es ont entra卯n茅 une diminution nette de 7,74 M$ des actifs nets provenant des op茅rations (-2,60 $/action).
Bilan et liquidit茅s : La juste valeur du portefeuille a diminu茅 de 26 % 脿 52,4 M$ ; la tr茅sorerie a augment茅 脿 4,4 M$ apr猫s le remboursement complet d'un solde de ligne de cr茅dit de 0,6 M$. Les passifs ont diminu茅 脿 0,93 M$ (contre 7,12 M$) suite 脿 la suppression des provisions pour frais d'incitation et dividendes.
Composition du portefeuille : Les investissements de niveau 3 repr茅sentent 100 % des avoirs ; les positions affili茅es dominent (75 % du NAV). Les expositions cl茅s incluent Seybert鈥檚 Billiards (14,3 % du NAV) et BMP Food Service Supply (12,3 %). Les actifs sous contr么le repr茅sentent seulement 3,5 % du NAV.
Flux de tr茅sorerie et retour de capital : Les op茅rations ont g茅n茅r茅 8,1 M$, principalement gr芒ce aux remboursements de pr锚ts. RAND a vers茅 3,9 M$ de dividendes en esp猫ces depuis le d茅but de l'ann茅e et a d茅clar茅 un dividende en actions suppl茅mentaire de 0,86 M$.
Rand Capital (RAND) Q2-25 10-Q Highlights: Die Nettoverm枚genswerte sanken von 65,3 Mio. USD zum 31.12.24 auf 56,7 Mio. USD, was zu einem R眉ckgang des NAV je Aktie um 24,5 % auf 19,10 USD f眉hrte. Der R眉ckgang wurde durch eine unrealisierte Abschreibung von 10,2 Mio. USD verursacht, haupts盲chlich bei Beteiligungen, die den h枚heren Nettoanlageertrag mehr als ausglichen.
Ergebnisrechnung: Die gesamten Anlageertr盲ge fielen im Jahresvergleich um 25 % auf 1,6 Mio. USD, da die Zinsen aus Portfoliounternehmen zur眉ckgingen. Eine R眉ckbuchung von 1,49 Mio. USD an kapitalgewinnbezogenen Erfolgsgeb眉hren verwandelte die Aufwendungen in einen Ertrag von 0,86 Mio. USD, was zu einem Nettoanlageertrag von 2,48 Mio. USD im Vergleich zu einem Verlust von 0,52 Mio. USD im Vorjahr f眉hrte. Allerdings f眉hrten die unrealisierte Abschreibungen zu einem Nettoverm枚gensr眉ckgang aus dem operativen Gesch盲ft von 7,74 Mio. USD (-2,60 USD je Aktie).
Bilanz & Liquidit盲t: Der beizulegende Zeitwert des Portfolios sank um 26 % auf 52,4 Mio. USD; die liquiden Mittel stiegen auf 4,4 Mio. USD, nachdem eine Kreditlinienverbindlichkeit von 0,6 Mio. USD vollst盲ndig getilgt wurde. Die Verbindlichkeiten verringerten sich auf 0,93 Mio. USD (vorher 7,12 Mio. USD), da R眉ckstellungen f眉r Erfolgsgeb眉hren und Dividenden aufgel枚st wurden.
Portfoliozusammensetzung: Level-3-Investitionen machen 100 % der Beteiligungen aus; Affiliate-Positionen dominieren mit 75 % des NAV. Wichtige Engagements sind Seybert鈥檚 Billiards (14,3 % des NAV) und BMP Food Service Supply (12,3 %). Kontrollierte Verm枚genswerte machen nur 3,5 % des NAV aus.
Cashflow & Kapitalr眉ckf眉hrung: Der operative Cashflow betrug 8,1 Mio. USD, haupts盲chlich aus Kreditr眉ckzahlungen. RAND zahlte bisher im Jahr 3,9 Mio. USD an Bardividenden und erkl盲rte eine zus盲tzliche Aktiendividende von 0,86 Mio. USD.
- Net investment income turned positive: $2.48 m in Q2-25 versus a $0.52 m loss last year and $3.70 m YTD.
- Liabilities fell sharply to $0.93 m after paying down the $0.6 m credit line and clearing incentive/dividend accruals, boosting liquidity.
- Operating cash flow swung to +$8.1 m aided by $8.5 m in loan repayments.
- $10.2 m unrealized depreciation drove a $7.74 m operating loss and cut NAV/share by 24.5% to $19.10.
- Portfolio fair value declined 26% since year-end, with affiliate investments hit hardest.
- Investment income fell 25% YoY, indicating yield compression or reduced average balances.
- NAV now sits 14% below investment cost, signaling potential further write-downs if conditions persist.
Insights
TL;DR: Strong NII overshadowed by heavy write-downs, slashing NAV and signaling valuation pressure.
The quarter illustrates the volatility inherent in RAND鈥檚 level-3, predominantly affiliate portfolio. Core earning power improved鈥擭II turned to $2.5 m on lower fee accruals and interest expense elimination鈥攜et a $10 m markdown, chiefly on affiliate stakes, wiped out those gains and cut NAV/share to $19.10. Portfolio fair value is now 14% below cost and 26% below December levels, suggesting persistent valuation pressure. Liquidity looks adequate with $4.4 m cash and no revolver draw, but dividend coverage depends on realizing income while avoiding further write-downs. Absent clearer visibility on asset quality, the overall impact skews negative.
TL;DR: De-levered balance sheet is a plus, but rapid NAV erosion outweighs benefits for equity holders.
Management prudently repaid its credit facility and reduced liabilities by $6.2 m, increasing flexibility just as portfolio valuations dipped. Nevertheless, a 25% NAV/share hit in six months is material for any BDC, especially one concentrating risk in a handful of illiquid affiliates鈥擲eybert鈥檚 and BMP Food Service alone equal 26% of equity. Investment income decline (-25% YoY) highlights portfolio yield pressure, and further incentive-fee reversals cannot be relied upon. The filing is therefore impactful and negative for the equity story, though improved cash and absence of leverage modestly temper risk.

Points cl茅s du 10-Q du 2T-25 de Rand Capital (RAND) : Les actifs nets ont chut茅 脿 56,7 M$ contre 65,3 M$ au 31/12/24, entra卯nant une baisse du NAV par action de 24,5 % 脿 19,10 $. Cette baisse est due 脿 une d茅pr茅ciation non r茅alis茅e de 10,2 M$, principalement au sein des participations affili茅es, qui a plus que compens茅 une hausse des revenus nets d'investissement.
Compte de r茅sultat : Le revenu total des investissements a diminu茅 de 25 % en glissement annuel pour atteindre 1,6 M$, en raison de la contraction des int茅r锚ts provenant des soci茅t茅s du portefeuille. Une reprise de 1,49 M$ des frais d'incitation sur les plus-values a transform茅 les charges en un b茅n茅fice de 0,86 M$, g茅n茅rant un revenu net d'investissement de 2,48 M$ contre une perte de 0,52 M$ l'an dernier. Cependant, les d茅pr茅ciations non r茅alis茅es ont entra卯n茅 une diminution nette de 7,74 M$ des actifs nets provenant des op茅rations (-2,60 $/action).
Bilan et liquidit茅s : La juste valeur du portefeuille a diminu茅 de 26 % 脿 52,4 M$ ; la tr茅sorerie a augment茅 脿 4,4 M$ apr猫s le remboursement complet d'un solde de ligne de cr茅dit de 0,6 M$. Les passifs ont diminu茅 脿 0,93 M$ (contre 7,12 M$) suite 脿 la suppression des provisions pour frais d'incitation et dividendes.
Composition du portefeuille : Les investissements de niveau 3 repr茅sentent 100 % des avoirs ; les positions affili茅es dominent (75 % du NAV). Les expositions cl茅s incluent Seybert鈥檚 Billiards (14,3 % du NAV) et BMP Food Service Supply (12,3 %). Les actifs sous contr么le repr茅sentent seulement 3,5 % du NAV.
Flux de tr茅sorerie et retour de capital : Les op茅rations ont g茅n茅r茅 8,1 M$, principalement gr芒ce aux remboursements de pr锚ts. RAND a vers茅 3,9 M$ de dividendes en esp猫ces depuis le d茅but de l'ann茅e et a d茅clar茅 un dividende en actions suppl茅mentaire de 0,86 M$.
Rand Capital (RAND) Q2-25 10-Q Highlights: Die Nettoverm枚genswerte sanken von 65,3 Mio. USD zum 31.12.24 auf 56,7 Mio. USD, was zu einem R眉ckgang des NAV je Aktie um 24,5 % auf 19,10 USD f眉hrte. Der R眉ckgang wurde durch eine unrealisierte Abschreibung von 10,2 Mio. USD verursacht, haupts盲chlich bei Beteiligungen, die den h枚heren Nettoanlageertrag mehr als ausglichen.
Ergebnisrechnung: Die gesamten Anlageertr盲ge fielen im Jahresvergleich um 25 % auf 1,6 Mio. USD, da die Zinsen aus Portfoliounternehmen zur眉ckgingen. Eine R眉ckbuchung von 1,49 Mio. USD an kapitalgewinnbezogenen Erfolgsgeb眉hren verwandelte die Aufwendungen in einen Ertrag von 0,86 Mio. USD, was zu einem Nettoanlageertrag von 2,48 Mio. USD im Vergleich zu einem Verlust von 0,52 Mio. USD im Vorjahr f眉hrte. Allerdings f眉hrten die unrealisierte Abschreibungen zu einem Nettoverm枚gensr眉ckgang aus dem operativen Gesch盲ft von 7,74 Mio. USD (-2,60 USD je Aktie).
Bilanz & Liquidit盲t: Der beizulegende Zeitwert des Portfolios sank um 26 % auf 52,4 Mio. USD; die liquiden Mittel stiegen auf 4,4 Mio. USD, nachdem eine Kreditlinienverbindlichkeit von 0,6 Mio. USD vollst盲ndig getilgt wurde. Die Verbindlichkeiten verringerten sich auf 0,93 Mio. USD (vorher 7,12 Mio. USD), da R眉ckstellungen f眉r Erfolgsgeb眉hren und Dividenden aufgel枚st wurden.
Portfoliozusammensetzung: Level-3-Investitionen machen 100 % der Beteiligungen aus; Affiliate-Positionen dominieren mit 75 % des NAV. Wichtige Engagements sind Seybert鈥檚 Billiards (14,3 % des NAV) und BMP Food Service Supply (12,3 %). Kontrollierte Verm枚genswerte machen nur 3,5 % des NAV aus.
Cashflow & Kapitalr眉ckf眉hrung: Der operative Cashflow betrug 8,1 Mio. USD, haupts盲chlich aus Kreditr眉ckzahlungen. RAND zahlte bisher im Jahr 3,9 Mio. USD an Bardividenden und erkl盲rte eine zus盲tzliche Aktiendividende von 0,86 Mio. USD.

RAND CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION
Rand Capital Corporation (“Rand”, the “Corporation”, “we”, “us” and “our”) was incorporated under the laws of New York in February 1969. We completed our initial public offering in 1971 and operated as an internally managed, closed end, management investment company from that time until November 2019.
In November 2019, Rand completed a stock sale transaction (the “Closing”) with East Asset Management (“East”). The transaction consisted of a $
In connection with the Closing, we also entered into a shareholder agreement with East (the “Shareholder Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholder Agreement, East has the right to designate two or three persons, depending upon the size of the Board, for nomination for election to the Board. East has the right to designate (i) up to two persons if the size of the Board is composed of fewer than seven directors or (ii) up to three persons if the size of the Board is composed of seven or more directors. East’s right to designate persons for nomination for election to the Board under the Shareholder Agreement is the exclusive means by which East may designate or nominate persons for election to the Board. The Board currently consists of five directors, and Adam S. Gusky and Benjamin E. Godley are East’s designees on the Board.
We currently operate as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the 1940 Act. As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements specified in the 1940 Act. 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 - Regulations, Business Development Company Regulations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In connection with the completion of the Transaction, we have shifted to an investment strategy focused on higher yielding debt investments and elected U.S. Federal tax treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”).
The Board declared the following quarterly cash dividends during the six months ended June 30, 2025:

In order to continue to qualify as a RIC, Rand holds several of its equity investments in wholly-owned subsidiaries that facilitate a tax structure that is advantageous to the RIC election. Rand has the following wholly-owned blocker subsidiaries in place at June 30, 2025: Rand BMP Swanson Holdings Corp., Rand Carolina Skiff Holdings Corp., Rand DSD Holdings Corp., Rand Filterworks Holdings Corp., Rand FSS Holdings Corp., Rand INEA Holdings Corp., and Rand ITA Holdings Corp. (collectively the “Blocker Corps”). These subsidiaries are consolidated using United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for financial reporting purposes.
On October 7, 2020, Rand, RCM and certain of their affiliates received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to permit Rand to co-invest in portfolio companies with certain affiliates, including other BDCs and registered investment companies managed by RCM and certain of its affiliates in a manner consistent with Rand’s investment objective, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). On March 29, 2021, the SEC granted Rand, Callodine Group, LLC (“Callodine”), which holds a controlling interest in RCM, and certain of their affiliates a new exemptive order (the “New Order”) that superseded the Order and permits Rand to co-invest with affiliates managed by RCM and Callodine. Callodine is a yield focused asset management platform. Pursuant to the New Order, Rand is generally permitted to co-invest with affiliates covered by the New Order if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of Rand’s independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to Rand and its shareholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of Rand or its shareholders on the part of any person concerned, (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of Rand’s shareholders and is consistent with Rand’s investment objective and strategies and (3) the investment by Rand’s affiliates would not disadvantage Rand, and Rand’s participation would not be on a basis different from or less advantageous than that on which Rand’s affiliates are investing. In addition, on September 6, 2022, the SEC granted an amendment to the New Order to permit Rand to participate in follow-on investments in our existing portfolio companies with certain Affiliated Funds (as defined in the New Order) that do not hold any investments in such existing portfolio companies.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements describe the operations of Rand and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rand Capital Sub, LLC (“Rand Sub”) and the Blocker Corps (collectively, the “Corporation”).
Our corporate office is located in Buffalo, NY and our website address is www.randcapital.com. We make available on our website our annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is filed with the SEC. Our shares are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the 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 GAAP of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and statement of changes in net assets for the interim periods presented. The Corporation is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. 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 herein not misleading. The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the 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, 2024. 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.
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rand and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 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 nature 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” if it owns more than
21
Table of Contents
Investments - Investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by RCM and approved by the Board. The Corporation generally invests in loan, debt, and equity instruments and there is no single standard for determining fair value of these investments. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio company while employing a consistent valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments, there may be material risks associated with this determination including that estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value for the investments existed and these differences could be material if the Corporation’s assumptions and judgments differ from results of actual liquidation events. 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 debt security 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, the Corporation’s equity securities in the underlying portfolio company have also appreciated in value. Additionally, the Corporation continues to assess any material risks associated with this fair value determination, including risks associated with material conflicts of interest. Under the valuation policy of the Corporation, unrestricted publicly traded securities are valued at the closing price for these securities on the last trading day of the reporting period.
Qualifying Assets - As of June 30, 2025, the Corporation’s portfolio of investments only included qualifying assets as defined in Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. The Corporation’s qualifying assets consist of qualifying investments in privately held businesses, principally based in the United States.
Revenue Recognition - Interest Income - Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis except where the investment is in default or where receipt of such interest is 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. The reserve for possible losses of interest receivable was $
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 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. For investments with PIK interest, the Corporation will not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not collectible. Loans which are on non-accrual status remain in such status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due or such loans become current. As of June 30, 2025, the Corporation’s debt investment in ITA Acquisition, LLC (ITA) was on non-accrual status with a cost of $
Revenue Recognition - Dividend Income – The Corporation may receive cash 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 for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.
The Corporation may hold preferred equity securities that contain cumulative dividend provisions. Cumulative dividends are recorded as dividend income, if declared and deemed collectible, and any dividends in arrears are recognized into income and 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 financings, income associated with portfolio company monitoring fees, income associated with early repayment fees and income associated with portfolio company loan modification fees.

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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were
On April 23, 2025, the Board approved a share repurchase plan which authorizes the Corporation to repurchase shares of Rand’s outstanding common stock with an aggregate cost of up to $
Income Taxes – The Corporation elected to be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. The Corporation must distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income each tax year as dividends to its shareholders to maintain its RIC status. If the Corporation continues to qualify as a RIC and continues to satisfy the annual distribution requirement, the Corporation will not have to pay corporate level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that the Corporation distributes to its stockholders.
The Blocker Corps, which are consolidated under U.S. GAAP for financial reporting purposes, are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Therefore, the Corporation accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The Corporation records a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets if and to the extent it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not recover the deferred tax assets. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Corporation weights all relevant positive and negative evidence, and considers among other factors, historical financial performance, projected future taxable income, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, the overall business environment, and tax planning strategies. Changes in circumstances, including the Blocker Corps generating significant taxable income and tax planning strategies, could cause a change in judgment about the need for a valuation allowance of the related deferred tax assets. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the period of the change in estimate.
Accordingly, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the valuation allowance against the Corporation’s U.S. federal deferred tax assets was $
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. There were
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Corporation may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a
Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal tax regulations, which may differ from amounts determined in accordance with GAAP and those differences could be material. These book-to-tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. Reclassifications due to permanent book-tax

differences, including the offset of net operating losses against short-term gains and nondeductible meals and entertainment, have no impact on net assets.
The Corporation is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended December 31, 2021 through 2024. In general, the Corporation’s state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended December 31, 2021 through 2024.
It is the Corporation’s policy to include interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities in income tax expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. There were
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 insured limits. The Corporation does not anticipate non-performance by such banks.
The following are the concentrations of the top five portfolio company values compared to the fair value of the Corporation’s total investment portfolio:

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Standards – In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are intended to improve income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Corporation’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024, however, these disclosures are not required for interim periods. The amendments are to be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective adoption is permitted. The Corporation does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Note 3. INVESTMENTS
The Corporation’s investments are carried at fair value in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Loan investments are defined as traditional loan financings typically with no equity features or required equity co-investment. 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. Equity investments are direct investments into a portfolio company and may include preferred stock, common stock, warrants and limited liability company membership interests.
The Corporation uses several approaches to determine the fair value of an investment. The main approaches are:
24
Table of Contents
ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, used in the Corporation’s valuation at the measurement date. Under the valuation policy, the Corporation values unrestricted publicly traded companies, categorized as Level 1 investments, at the closing price on the last trading day of the reporting period.
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.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of the Corporation’s investments were Level 3 investments. There were
In the valuation process, the Corporation values restricted securities categorized as Level 3 investments, using information from these portfolio companies, which may include:
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 adjusted accordingly.
Equity Securities
Equity securities may include preferred stock, common stock, warrants and limited liability company membership interests.
25
Table of Contents
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s equity investments are EBITDA and revenue multiples, where applicable, the financial and operational performance of the business, and the debt and 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 privately-held, lower middle market companies and these industry standards may be adjusted to more closely match the specific financial and operational characteristics 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 in any of these unobservable inputs may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value estimate.
Another key factor used in valuing equity investments is a significant recent arms-length equity transaction entered into by the portfolio company with a sophisticated, non-strategic, unrelated, new investor. 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 investments made within the last year, the Corporation generally relies on the cost basis, which is deemed to represent the fair value, unless other fair 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 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 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 determine the fair value of the Corporation’s Level 3 portfolio investments as of June 30, 2025:

Note 6. SENIOR SECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
On June 27, 2022, the Corporation entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with M&T Bank, as lender (the “Lender”), which provides the Corporation with a senior secured revolving credit facility in a principal amount not to exceed $
The Corporation’s borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate determined as a rate per annum equal to
The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative, negative and financial covenants usual and customary for agreements of this type, including among others, covenants that prohibit, subject to certain specified exceptions, the Corporation’s ability to merge or consolidate with other companies, sell any material part of the Corporation’s assets, incur other indebtedness, incur liens on the Corporation’s assets, make investments or loans to third parties other than permitted investments and permitted loans, and declare any distribution or dividend other than certain permitted distributions. The Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants: (i) a tangible net worth covenant that requires the Corporation to maintain a Tangible Net Worth (defined in the Credit Agreement as the Corporation’s aggregate assets, excluding intangible assets, less all liabilities) of not less than $

Facility, (ii) default by the Corporation on any other obligation, condition, covenant or other provision under the Credit Agreement and related documents, (iii) failure by the Corporation to pay any material indebtedness or obligation owing to any third party or affiliate, or the failure by the Corporation to perform any agreement with any third party or affiliate that would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iv) the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to a third party, (v) various bankruptcy and insolvency events, and (vi) any material adverse change in the Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or their business, assets, operations, management, ownership, affairs, condition (financial or otherwise) or the Lender’s collateral that the Lender reasonably determines will have a material adverse effect on the Lender’s collateral, the Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or their business, assets, operation or condition (financial or otherwise) or on the Corporation’s ability to repay its debts.
In connection with entry into the Credit Facility, the Corporation and each of its subsidiaries that guaranty the Credit Facility entered into a general security agreement, dated June 27, 2022, with the Lender (the “Security Agreement”). The Security Agreement secures all of the Corporation’s obligations to the Lender, including, without limitation, principal and interest on the Credit Facility and any fees and charges. The security interest granted under the Security Agreement covers all of the Corporation’s personal property including, among other things, all accounts, chattel paper, investment property, deposit accounts, general intangibles, inventory, and all of the fixtures. The Security Agreement contains various representations, warranties, covenants and agreements customary in security agreements and various events of default with remedies under the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Security Agreement. Events of default under the Security Agreement, which permit the Lender to exercise its various remedies, are similar to those contained in the Credit Agreement.
The outstanding balance drawn on the Credit Facility at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $

Note 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Investment Management Agreement
Concurrent with the Closing, RCM, a registered investment adviser, was retained by the Corporation as its external investment adviser and administrator, which resulted in Daniel Penberthy, the Corporation’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Margaret Brechtel, the Corporation’s Executive Vice President, Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, serving as officers and employees of RCM. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Corporation pays RCM, as compensation for the investment advisory and management services, fees consisting of two components: (i) the Base Management Fee and (ii) the Incentive Fee.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, amounts payable to RCM were comprised of the following, and are reported on the “Due to investment adviser” line on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position:

The “Base Management Fee” is calculated at an annual rate of
The “Incentive Fee” is comprised of two parts: (1) the “Income Based Fee” and (2) the “Capital Gains Fee”. The Income Based Fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” (as defined in the Investment Management Agreement) for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a hurdle rate of
The Corporation pays RCM an Incentive Fee with respect to its Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in each calendar quarter as follows:
32
Table of Contents
The Income Based Fee paid to RCM for any calendar quarter shall not be in excess of the Incentive Fee Cap. The “Incentive Fee Cap” for any quarter is an amount equal to (1)
For purposes of the calculation of the Income Based Fee, “Income Based Fee Calculation Period” is defined as, with reference to a calendar quarter, the period of time consisting of such calendar quarter and the additional quarters that comprise the eleven calendar quarters immediately preceding such calendar quarter.
For purposes of the calculation of the Income Based Fee, “Cumulative Net Return” is defined as (1) the aggregate net investment income in respect of the relevant Income Based Fee Calculation Period minus (2) any Net Capital Loss, if any, in respect of the relevant Income Based Fee Calculation Period. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Corporation pays no Income Based Fee to RCM for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is a positive value but is less than the Income Based Fee that is payable to RCM for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Corporation pays an Income Based Fee to RCM equal to the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is equal to or greater than the Income Based Fee that is payable to RCM for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Corporation pays an Income Based Fee to the Adviser equal to the Income Based Fee calculated as described above for such quarter without regard to the Incentive Fee Cap.
For purposes of the calculation of the Income Based Fee, “Net Capital Loss,” in respect of a particular period, means the difference, if positive, between (1) aggregate capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in such period and (2) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in such period.
Any Income Based Fee otherwise payable under the Investment Management Agreement with respect to Accrued Unpaid Income (as described below) (such fees being the “Accrued Unpaid Income Based Fees”) shall be deferred, on a security by security basis, and shall become payable to RCM only if, as, when and to the extent cash is received in respect of any Accrued Unpaid Income. Any Accrued Unpaid Income that is subsequently reversed in connection with a write-down, write-off, impairment or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to such Accrued Unpaid Income will, in the applicable period of reversal, (1) reduce Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income and (2) reduce the amount of Accrued Unpaid Income Based Fees. For purposes of the Investment Management Agreement, Accrued Unpaid Income is defined as any net investment income that consists of any accretion of original issue discount, market discount, payment-in-kind interest, payment-in-kind dividends or other types of deferred or accrued income, including in connection with zero coupon securities, that the Corporation has recognized in accordance with GAAP, but has not yet received in cash. Subsequent payments of Accrued Unpaid Income Based Fees that are deferred as provided for in the Investment Management Agreement shall not reduce the amounts otherwise payable for any quarter as an Income Based Fee.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Income Based Fees earned under the Investment Management Agreement were $
The second part of the Incentive Fee is the “Capital Gains Fee”. This fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year. Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, the Capital Gains Fee is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (1) the sum of the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (2) the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from November 8, 2019. If this amount is positive at the end of any calendar year, then the Capital Gains Fee for such year is equal to
For purposes of the Capital Gains Fee:
33
Table of Contents
For purposes of calculating the amount of the capital gains incentive fee accrual to be included as part of a company’s financial statements, GAAP requires a company to consider, as part of such calculation, the amount of cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation that such company has with respect to its investments. As a result, the capital gains incentive fee accrual under GAAP is calculated using both the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains and losses and the aggregate net change in unrealized capital appreciation/depreciation at the close of the period. If the calculated amount is positive, GAAP requires the Corporation to record a capital gains incentive fee accrual equal to
As of June 30, 2025, there was
In accordance with GAAP, the Corporation is required to accrue a capital gains incentive fee on all realized and unrealized gains and losses. At June 30, 2025, no fee would be due based on net portfolio depreciation. At December 31, 2024, there was an accrual of $

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 SEC. 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, including statements related to our investment strategies and our intention to co-invest with certain of our affiliates; the impact of our election as a RIC for U.S. federal tax purposes on the payment of corporate level U.S. federal income taxes by Rand; statements regarding our liquidity and financial resources; statements regarding any capital gains fee that may be due to RCM upon a hypothetical liquidation of our portfolio and the amount of the capital gains fee that may be payable to RCM for 2025; and statements regarding our compliance with the RIC requirements as of June 30, 2025; and statements regarding future dividend payments, 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 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, 2024.
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 externally managed, non-diversified investment company that lends to and invests in lower middle market companies. Our investment objective is to generate current income and when possible, complement this current income with capital appreciation. As a result, our investments are primarily in higher yielding debt instruments. Our investment activities are managed by our investment adviser, Rand Capital Management, LLC (“RCM”).
We have elected to be regulated 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 specified in the 1940 Act.
In November 2019, Rand completed a stock sale transaction (the “Closing”) with East Asset Management (“East”). The transaction consisted of a $25 million investment in Rand by East, in the form of cash and contributed portfolio assets, in exchange for approximately 8.3 million shares of Rand common stock. Concurrent with the Closing, RCM, a registered investment advisor, was retained by Rand as its external investment adviser and administrator (the Closing and the retention of RCM as our investment adviser and administrator are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction”). The term of the new investment advisory and management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with RCM was extended after approval of its renewal by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) in October 2024 and is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025. In addition, the term of the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with RCM was extended after approval of its renewal by the Board in October 2024 and is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025. The Investment Management Agreement and Administration Agreement can continue for successive annual periods after December 31, 2025 provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i)(A) the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board or (B) the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding voting securities, and (ii) the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors who are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of us, RCM or our respective affiliates.

On January 24, 2024, the Board, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board, approved the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act. As a result, our asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act for senior securities was changed from 200% to 150%, effective January 24, 2025. We monitor our compliance with this coverage ratio on a regular basis. As of June 30, 2025, we had no senior securities outstanding and, as a result, our asset coverage ratio for senior securities as of June 30, 2025 is incalculable. For a discussion of the risks associated with our adoption of a modified asset coverage requirement of 150%, please see the discussion of risks under the caption “Risk Factors – Risks related to our Indebtedness” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Notwithstanding the reduction of our asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act from 200% to 150% effective January 24, 2025, under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain an Asset Coverage Ratio (defined in the Credit Agreement as the ratio of the fair market value of all of the Corporation’s assets to the sum of all of the Corporation’s obligations for borrowed money plus all capital lease obligations) of not less 300%.
Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, Rand pays RCM a base management fee and may pay an incentive fee, comprised of two parts: (1) the “Income Based Fee” and (2) the “Capital Gains Fee”, if specified benchmarks are met.
We elected U.S. federal tax treatment as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements. As of June 30, 2025, we believe we were in compliance with the RIC requirements. As a RIC, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any net ordinary income or capital gains that we timely distribute to our shareholders as dividends. In addition, as a RIC, we must distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our ordinary net income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any. Accordingly, our Board has regularly declared a quarterly cash dividend since our RIC election.
Our Board declared the following quarterly cash dividends during the six months ended June 30, 2025:

On December 5, 2024, our Board declared a dividend in the amount of $4.20 per share. The dividend was paid in the aggregate combination of 20% in cash and 80% in newly issued shares of our common stock on January 24, 2025 to shareholders of record as of December 16, 2024. The portion of the dividend paid using our common stock increased the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from 2,581,021 shares to 2,969,814 shares as of January 24, 2025.
During the second quarter, the valuation of our investment in Tilson Technology Management, Inc. (Tilson) was reduced to $0 after it filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware. Additional information regarding the Tilson Technologies bankruptcy can be found in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 30, 2025. We are monitoring the bankruptcy process through the court’s website. At March 31, 2025, our investment in Tilson had an aggregate cost basis of $2,850,015 and an aggregate fair value of $9,500,000. Our investment in Tilson represented approximately 14.5% of our net assets as of March 31, 2025 and approximately 15.3% of our total investments at fair value as of March 31, 2025.
We also separately own 211,567 Class A-1 units and 250 Class D-1 units of SQF Holdco LLC (“SQF”), which is a separate company from Tilson Technology and is not part of the Tilson Chapter 11 Proceedings. As of June 30, 2025, our investment in SQF had an aggregate cost basis of $250,000 and an aggregate fair value of $2,000,000.
We may co-invest, subject to the conditions included in the exemptive relief order we received from the SEC, with certain of our affiliates. See “SEC Exemptive Order” below. We believe these types of co-investments are likely to afford us additional investment opportunities and provide an ability to achieve greater diversification in our investment portfolio.
SEC Exemptive Order
On October 7, 2020, Rand, RCM and certain of their affiliates received an exemptive order from the SEC to permit the Corporation to co-invest in portfolio companies with certain affiliates, including other BDCs and registered investment companies managed by RCM and certain of its affiliates, in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements, subject to compliance with certain conditions (the “Order”). On March 29, 2021, the SEC granted Rand, RCM, Callodine, which holds a controlling interest in RCM, and certain of their affiliates a new exemptive order (the “New Order”) that superseded the Order and permits Rand to co-invest with affiliates managed by RCM and Callodine. Pursuant
37
Table of Contents
to the New Order, we are generally permitted to co-invest with affiliates covered by the New Order if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of Rand’s independent directors makes certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to Rand and its shareholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of Rand or its shareholders on the part of any person concerned, (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of Rand’s shareholders and is consistent with Rand’s investment objective and strategies and (3) the investment by Rand’s affiliates would not disadvantage Rand, and Rand’s participation would not be on a basis different from or less advantageous than that on which Rand’s affiliates are investing. In addition, on September 6, 2022, the SEC granted an amendment to the New Order to permit us to participate in follow-on investments in our existing portfolio companies with certain Affiliated Funds (as defined in the New Order) that do not hold any investments in such existing portfolio companies.
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, 2024 under Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Cash approximated 7.8% of net assets at June 30, 2025, as compared to 1.3% of net assets at December 31, 2024.
During 2022, we entered into a $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with M&T Bank, as lender (the “Lender”), with the amount that we can borrow thereunder, at any given time, determined based upon a borrowing base formula. The Credit Facility has a 5-year term with a maturity date of June 27, 2027. Our borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to 3.50 percentage points above the greater of (i) the applicable daily simple secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) or (ii) 0.25%. There was no outstanding balance drawn on the Credit Facility at June 30, 2025.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and when possible, complement this current income with capital appreciation. As a result, we are focused on investing in higher yielding debt instruments and related equity investments in privately held, lower middle market companies with a committed and experienced management team in a broad variety of industries. In the past, we have also invested in publicly traded shares of other business development companies that provided income through

The total investment income during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was received from 14 portfolio companies. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, total investment income was received from 22 portfolio companies.
Interest from portfolio companies – Interest from portfolio companies was approximately 24% lower during the three months ended June 30, 2025 versus the same period in 2024 due to the fact that several interest yielding investments were repaid during the last year and new debt instruments were not originated in replacement. The proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowed amounts under the Credit Facility. Debt instruments were repaid by Hilton, Mattison, Nailbiter, Inc. (Nailbiter), Pressure Pro, and SciAps, Inc. (SciAps).

Table of Contents
We hold debt securities in our investment portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provisions. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each debt agreement, is 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. Interest can also be shifted from current cash payment to PIK as part of a loan modification. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 37.4% and 21.8%, respectively, of our total investment income was attributable to non-cash PIK interest income.
Interest from other investments - The increase in interest from other investments is primarily due to higher average cash balances during the three months ended June 30, 2025 versus the same period in 2024.
Dividend and other investment income - Dividend income is comprised of cash 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 or dividends. Dividend income will fluctuate based upon the profitability of these LLCs and corporations and the timing of the distributions. The dividend distributions for the respective periods were:

Fee income - Fee income generally consists of the revenue associated with the amortization of financing fees charged to the portfolio companies upon successful closing of financings, income associated with portfolio company monitoring fees, income associated with early repayment fees and income associated with portfolio company loan modification 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 decrease in total expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2025 versus the same period in 2024 was primarily due to a $3,131,000 decrease in the capital gains incentive fee expense, a $367,755 decrease in interest expense, and a $105,023 decrease in base management fees payable to RCM.
The capital gains incentive fee benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2025 is due to the calculation of the capital gains fee as required by GAAP. We are required under GAAP to accrue capital gains incentive fees on the basis of net realized capital gains and losses and net unrealized gains and losses. Our capital gains incentive fee accrual reflects the capital gains incentive fees that would be payable to RCM if our entire investment portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date, even though RCM is not entitled to this capital gains incentive fee under the Investment Management Agreement with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are realized. The decrease in expense during the three months ended June 30, 2025 is attributable to a net increase in net unrealized depreciation during the quarter, which was primarily the result of the writedown of the valuation of our investment in Tilson by $9,500,000.
The decrease in interest expense resulted from lower average outstanding debt balances under the Credit Facility during the three months ended June 30, 2025 versus the same period in 2024. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $25,417 and $393,172, respectively.

The base management fee payable to RCM under the Investment Management Agreement is calculated based upon total assets less cash, and, as investments are exited or repaid, the base management fee payable to RCM will decrease accordingly. The base management fee for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $217,649 and $322,672, respectively.
Net Investment Income (Loss)
The excess of investment income over total expenses, including income taxes, represents net investment income (loss). The net investment income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $2,478,234 and ($517,195), respectively.

The total investment income during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was received from 17 portfolio companies. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, total investment income was received from 24 portfolio companies.
Interest from portfolio companies – Interest from portfolio companies was approximately 16% lower during the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the same period in 2024 due to the fact that several interest yielding investments were repaid during the last year and new debt instruments were not originated in replacement. The proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowed amounts under the Credit Facility. Debt instruments were repaid by Hilton, Mattison, Nailbiter, Pressure Pro, and SciAps.
We hold debt securities in our investment portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provisions. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each debt agreement, is 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. Interest can also be shifted from current cash payment to PIK as part of a loan modification. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 33.9% and 18.9%, respectively, of our total investment income was attributable to non-cash PIK interest income.
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, 2025 versus the same period in 2024.
Dividend and other investment income - Dividend income is comprised of cash 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 and dividends. Dividend income will fluctuate based upon the profitability of these LLCs and corporations and the timing of the distributions. The dividend distributions for the respective periods were:

Fee income - Fee income generally consists of the revenue associated with the amortization of financing fees charged to the portfolio companies upon successful closing of financings, income from portfolio company board attendance fees, income associated with portfolio company monitoring fees, and other miscellaneous 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 $138,956 and $101,834 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a prepayment fee of $167,187 from our debt investment in Mattison, a loan monitoring fee of $20,000 from our debt investment in Pressure Pro, a prepayment fee of $17,266 from our debt investment in Pressure Pro, and a loan modification fee of $15,000 from our investment in MRES.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized prepayment fees totaling $25,782 from our investment in Pressure Pro, a loan monitoring fee of $20,000 from our investment in Pressure Pro, a loan monitoring fee of $8,814 from our investment in Mattison, a loan monitoring fee of $5,995 from our investment in Autotality, and a loan modification fee of $5,000 from our investment in Lumious.

The decrease in total expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the same period in 2024 was primarily due to a $3,318,300 decrease in the capital gains incentive fee expense, a $721,289 decrease in interest expense, and a $155,410 decrease in base management fees payable to RCM. The decrease was partially offset by a $119,673 increase in the income based incentive fee expense.
The capital gains incentive fee benefit during the six months ended June 30, 2025 is due to the calculation of the capital gains fee as required by GAAP. We are required under GAAP to accrue capital gains incentive fees on the basis of net realized capital gains and losses and net unrealized gains and losses. Our capital gains incentive fee accrual reflects the capital gains incentive fees that would be payable to RCM if our entire investment portfolio was liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date, even though RCM is not entitled to this capital gains incentive fee under the Investment Management Agreement with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are realized. The decrease in expense during the six months ended June 30, 2025 is attributable to a net increase in net unrealized depreciation in excess of realized capital gains during the period, which was primarily the result of the writedown of the valuation of our investment in Tilson by $9,500,000.
The decrease in interest expense resulted from lower average outstanding debt balances under the Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus the same period in 2024. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $61,903 and $783,192, respectively.
The base management fee payable to RCM under the Investment Management Agreement is calculated based upon total assets less cash, and, as investments are exited or repaid, the base management fee payable to RCM will decrease accordingly. The base management fee for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $469,857 and $625,267, respectively.
The income based incentive fee is calculated quarterly in accordance with the Investment Management Agreement. The income based incentive fee accrued during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $119,673, and results from an increase in Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income above the applicable hurdle rate during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as set forth and described in the Investment Management Agreement. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during such calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for such calendar quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding any portion of the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes any accretion of original issue discount, market discount, payment-in-kind interest, payment-in-kind dividends or other types of deferred or accrued income, including in connection with zero coupon securities, that we have recognized in accordance with GAAP, but have not yet received in cash (collectively, “Accrued Unpaid Income”). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized and unrealized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
Net Investment Income
The excess of investment income over total expenses, including income taxes, represents net investment income. The net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $3,696,349 and $322,390, respectively.

We sold our investments in ACV, Ares, Carlyle, Knoa and Pennantpark during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
In accordance with the Corporation’s valuation policy, we increased the value of our investments in SciAps, Tilson and Pressure Pro after a financial analysis of each of the portfolio companies indicating continued improved performance.
Following the end of the second quarter of 2024, SciAps announced that it had entered into a definitive purchase agreement to be acquired by a United Kingdom based buyer for total consideration of up to $260 million, comprising of an up-front consideration payable at closing of $200 million, less standard closing adjustments, and the transaction was subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, with closing occurring later in calendar year 2024.
The valuation of our investment in Autotality, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was decreased after a review of their operations and financial condition.

Net (Decrease) 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 (decrease) increase in net assets from operations” on our consolidated statements of operations.

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet anticipated cash requirements, fund new and follow-on portfolio investments, pay distributions to our shareholders and respond to other general business demands. As of June 30, 2025, our total liquidity consisted of approximately $4,420,000 in cash and approximately $20,200,000 of unused availability on our Credit Facility.
During 2022, we entered into a $

Table of Contents
June 30, 2025. Under the borrowing base formula described above, the unused line of credit balance for the Credit Facility was approximately $20,200,000 at June 30, 2025.
Our borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate determined as a rate per annum equal to 3.50 percentage points above the greater of (i) the applicable daily simple secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) or (ii) 0.25%. At June 30, 2025, our applicable interest rate was 7.95%.
The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative, negative and financial covenants usual and customary for agreements of this type, including among others covenants that prohibit, subject to certain specified exceptions, our ability to merge or consolidate with other companies, sell any material part of our assets, incur other indebtedness, incur liens on our assets, make investments or loans to third parties other than permitted investments and permitted loans, and declare any distribution or dividend other than certain permitted distributions. The Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants: (i) a tangible net worth covenant that requires us to maintain a Tangible Net Worth (defined in the Credit Agreement as our aggregate assets, excluding intangible assets, less all of our liabilities) of not less than $50.0 million, which is measured quarterly at the end of each fiscal quarter, (ii) an asset coverage ratio covenant that requires us to maintain an Asset Coverage Ratio (defined in the Credit Agreement as the ratio of the fair market value of all of our assets to the sum of all of our obligations for borrowed money plus all capital lease obligations) of not less than 3:1, which is measured quarterly at the end of each fiscal quarter and (iii) an interest coverage ratio covenant that requires us to maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio (defined in the Credit Agreement as the ratio of Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to Interest Expense (as defined in the Credit Agreement)) of not less than 2.5:1, which is measured quarterly on a trailing twelve-months basis. We were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2025. See “Note 6. Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility” on our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of our Credit Facility.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we experienced a net increase in cash of approximately $3,585,000, which is a net effect of approximately $8,077,000 of net cash provided by our operating activities and approximately $4,492,000 of net cash used in our financing activities.
The $8,077,000 of net cash provided by our operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 resulted primarily from net investment income of approximately $3,696,000, approximately $9,446,000 from the sales of equity investments and repayments of debt investments, and an approximately $21,000 net decrease in operating assets. This was partially offset by approximately $410,000 used to fund new or follow-on portfolio company investments, approximately $1,224,000 in non-cash interest income, and an approximately $3,431,000 net decrease in operating liabilities.
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $4,492,000. This is comprised of $600,000 repaid on the Credit Facility and approximately $3,892,000 in cash dividends paid to shareholders.
We anticipate that we will continue to fund our investment activities through cash generated through our ongoing operating activities and through borrowings under the $25 million Credit Facility. We anticipate that we will continue to exit investments. However, the timing of liquidation events with respect to our privately held investments is difficult to project.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks primarily consisting of risks resulting from changes in interest rates and the valuation of our investment portfolio.
Interest Rate Risk
Changes in interest rates may affect our interest expense on the debt outstanding under our Credit Facility. Our debt borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate determined as a rate per annum equal to 3.50 percentage points above the greater of (i) the applicable daily simple secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) and (ii) 0.25%. Changes in interest rates can also affect, among other things, our ability to acquire and originate loans and securities and the value of our investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2025, all of our debt investments had fixed interest rates and were not directly impacted by changes in market interest rates.
Based on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2025, the following table shows the approximate annualized increase (decrease) in net investment income due to hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates under our Credit Facility, assuming no changes in our borrowings as of June 30, 2025. Because we often borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is dependent upon the difference between our borrowing rate and the rate we earn on the invested proceeds borrowed. In periods of rising interest rates, the rate we earn on our debt investments with fixed interest rates will remain the same, while the interest incurred on our borrowings under the Credit Facility will increase. There was no outstanding balance drawn on our Credit Facility at June 30, 2025.

Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate sensitivity under our Credit Facility at June 30, 2025, it does not adjust for changes in the credit quality, size and composition of our investment portfolio, and other business developments, including increased borrowings under our Credit Facility, that could affect our net investment income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the results under this hypothetical analysis.
We do not currently engage in any hedging activities. However, we may, in the future, hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our borrowed funds.
Valuation Risk
We carry our investments at fair value, as determined in good faith by RCM and approved by our Board. Determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio company investment while employing a consistent valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments, there are material risks associated with this determination including that estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value for the investments existed and these differences could be material if our assumptions and judgments differ from results of actual liquidation events. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the value realized on these investments to be different than the valuations that are assigned. The types of factors that we may take into account in valuation of our investments include, as relevant, third party valuations, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly-traded securities, recent sales of or offers to buy comparable companies, and other relevant factors.
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, 2025. 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, 2025.
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.
