HARRIS & HARRIS GROUP NOTES NEUROMETRIX IPO

Harris & Harris Group, Inc., noted today that NEUROMetrix, Inc., has priced its initial public offering (IPO) of 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share. In 1996, Harris & Harris Group was the seed investor in NEUROMetrix, a spinout from the Harvard-M.I.T. Division of Health Science and Technology. Harris & Harris Group is the second largest investor in NEUROMetrix, as the owner of 1,137,570 shares of its common stock. Charles E. Harris, the Chairman and CEO of Harris & Harris Group, serves as a director of NEUROMetrix.

At June 30, 2004, the most recent date on which Harris & Harris Group valued its investment, NEUROMetrix was Harris & Harris Group's most highly valued holding at $6,825,426. Harris & Harris Group's historical cost in NEUROMetrix is $4,411,382.

NEUROMetrix is Harris & Harris Group's last remaining significant non-tiny technology venture capital holding. Once NEUROMetrix's IPO is complete, NEUROMetrix will no longer be classified as a venture capital holding, and approximately 94 percent of Harris & Harris Group's venture capital portfolio holdings will be in tiny technology-enabled companies.

Harris & Harris Group is a publicly traded venture capital company that now makes initial investments exclusively in tiny technology, including nanotechnology, microsystems and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The Company's last 16 initial private equity investments have been in tiny-technology enabled companies. The Company has 17,248,845 common shares outstanding.
