PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS – (CONTINUED)

(in thousands, except share data)

 

Endnote Explanations for the Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010

 

(1)

 

The securities in which Prospect Capital Corporation (“we”, “us” or “our”) has invested were acquired in transactions that were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act.” These securities may be resold only in transactions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

 

 

 

(2)

 

Fair value is determined by or under the direction of our Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2011, two of our portfolio investments, Allied Defense Group, Inc. (“Allied”) and Dover Saddlery, Inc. (“Dover”) were publically traded and classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). As of June 30, 2010, three of our portfolio investments, Allied, Dover and LyondellBasel Industries N.V., were publically traded and classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy established by ASC 820. As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the fair value of our remaining portfolio investments was determined using significant unobservable inputs. ASC 820 classifies such inputs used to measure fair value as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Our investments in money market funds are classified as Level 2. See Note 2 and Note 4 within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

 

 

 

(3)

 

Security, or portion thereof, is pledged as collateral for the revolving credit facility (See Note 5). The market values of these investments at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 were $603,759 and $512,244, respectively; they represent 46.1% and 62.7% of total investments at fair value, respectively. Prospect Capital Funding, LLC (See Note 1), our wholly-owned subsidiary, holds an aggregate market value of $543,159 and $451,648 of these investments as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

 

 

 

(4)

 

Security, or portion thereof, has a floating interest rate which may be subject to a Libor floor. Stated interest rate was in effect at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010.

 

 

 

(5)

 

There are several entities involved in the Biomass investment. We own 100 shares of common stock in Worcester Energy Holdings, Inc. (“WEHI”), representing 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock. WEHI, in turn, owns 51 membership certificates in Biochips LLC (“Biochips”), which represents a 51% ownership stake.

 

We own 282 shares of common stock in Worcester Energy Co., Inc. (“WECO”), which represents 51% of the issued and outstanding common stock. We own directly 1,665 shares of common stock in Change Clean Energy Inc. (“CCEI”), f/k/a Worcester Energy Partners, Inc., which represents 51% of the issued and outstanding common stock and the remaining 49% is owned by WECO. CCEI owns 100 shares of common stock in Precision Logging and Landclearing, Inc. (“Precision”), which represents 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we created two new entities in anticipation of the foreclosure proceedings against the co-borrowers (WECO, CCEI and Biochips) Change Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (“CCEHI”) and DownEast Power Company, LLC (“DEPC”). We own 1,000 shares of CCEHI, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding stock, which in turn, owns a 100% of the membership interests in DEPC.

 

On March 11, 2009, we foreclosed on the assets formerly held by CCEI and Biochips with a successful credit bid of $6,000 to acquire the assets. As a result of the foreclosure our direct ownership in CCEI increased to 3,265 shares of common stock. The assets were subsequently assigned to DEPC. WECO, CCEI and Biochips are joint borrowers on the term note issued to Prospect Capital. Effective July 1, 2008, this loan was placed on non-accrual status.

 

Biochips, WECO, CCEI, Precision and WEHI currently have no material operations and no significant assets. As of June 30, 2009, our Board of Directors assessed a fair value of $0 for all of these equity positions and the loan position. We determined that the impairment of both CCEI and CCEHI as of June 30, 2009 was other than temporary and recorded a realized loss for the amount that the amortized cost exceeds the fair value at June 30, 2009. Our Board of Directors set value at zero for the CCEHI investment as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010.

 

 

 

(6)

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, we created two new entities, Coalbed Inc. and Coalbed LLC, to foreclose on the outstanding senior secured loan and assigned rights and interests of Conquest Cherokee, LLC (“Conquest”), as a result of the deterioration of Conquest’s financial performance and inability to service debt payments. We own 1,000 shares of common stock in Coalbed Inc., representing 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock. Coalbed Inc., in turn owns 100% of the membership interest in Coalbed LLC.

 

On October 21, 2009, Coalbed LLC foreclosed on the loan formerly made to Conquest. On January 19, 2010, as part of the Manx rollup, the Coalbed LLC assets and loan was assigned to Manx, the holding company. As of March 31, 2011, our Board of Directors assessed a fair value of $1,034 for the loan position in Coalbed LLC, a decrease of $380 from the fair value as of June 30, 2010.

On June 30, 2008, we consolidated our holdings in four coal companies into Yatesville Coal Holdings, Inc. (“Yatesville”), and consolidated the operations under one management team. As part of the transaction, the debt that we held of C&A Construction, Inc. (“C&A”), Genesis Coal Corp. (“Genesis”), North Fork Collieries LLC (“North Fork”) and Unity Virginia Holdings LLC (“Unity”) were exchanged for newly issued debt from Yatesville, and our ownership interests in C&A, E&L Construction, Inc. (“E&L”), Whymore Coal Company Inc. (“Whymore”) and North Fork were exchanged for 100% of the equity of Yatesville. This reorganization allows for a better utilization of the assets in the consolidated group.

 

At March 31, 2011 and at June 30, 2010, Yatesville owned 100% of the membership interest of North Fork. In addition, Yatesville held a $9,325 note receivable from North Fork as of those two respective dates.

 

At March 31, 2011 and at June 30, 2010, we owned 96% and 87%, respectively, of the common stock of Genesis and held a note receivable of $20,897 as of those two respective dates.

 

Yatesville held a note receivable of $4,261 from Unity at March 31, 2011 and at June 30, 2010.

 

There are several entities involved in Yatesville’s investment in Whymore at June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, Yatesville owned 10,000 shares of common stock or 100% of the equity and held a $14,973 senior secured debt receivable from C&A, which owns the equipment. Yatesville owned 10,000 shares of common stock or 100% of the equity of E&L, which leases the equipment from C&A, employs the workers, is listed as the operator with the Commonwealth of Kentucky, mines the coal, receives revenues and pays all operating expenses. Yatesville owned 4,900 shares of common stock or 49% of the equity of Whymore, which applies for and holds permits on behalf of E&L. Yatesville also owned 4,285 Series A convertible preferred shares in each of C&A, E&L and Whymore. Whymore and E&L are guarantors under the C&A credit agreement with Yatesville.

 

In August 2009, Yatesville sold its 49% ownership interest in the common shares of Whymore to the 51% holder of the Whymore common shares (“Whymore Purchaser”). All reclamation liability was transferred to the Whymore Purchaser. In September 2009, Yatesville completed an auction for all of its equipment.

 

Yatesville currently has no material operations. During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, our Board of Directors determined that the impairment of Yatesville was other than temporary and we recorded a realized loss for the amount that the amortized cost exceeds the fair value. Our Board of Directors set the value of the remaining Yatesville investment at zero and $808 as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

On January 19, 2010, we modified the terms of our senior secured debt in AEH and Coalbed in conjunction with the formation of Manx Energy, a new entity consisting in the assets of AEH, Coalbed and Kinley Exploration. The assets of the three companies were brought under new common management. We funded $2,800 at closing to Manx to provide for working capital. A portion of our loans to AEH and Coalbed was exchanged for Manx preferred equity, while our AEH equity interest was converted into Manx common stock. There was no change to fair value at the time of restructuring, and we continue to fully reserve any income accrued for Manx.

We invest primarily in senior and subordinated debt and equity of companies in need of capital for acquisitions, divestitures, growth, development, project financings, recapitalizations, and other purposes.

 

On May 15, 2007, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Prospect Capital Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for the purpose of holding certain of our loan investments in the portfolio which are used as collateral for our credit facility.

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following are significant accounting policies consistently applied by us:

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The financial results of our portfolio investments are not consolidated in the financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of GAAP financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, creditworthiness of our portfolio companies and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ, and these differences could be material.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

Under the 1940 Act rules, the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services and benefits to us. Our financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of Prospect Capital Funding, LLC, our only wholly-owned, closely-managed subsidiary that is also an investment company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Investment Classification

 

We are a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. We classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, control investments are those where there is the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, a beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the

 

26



Table of Contents

 

voting securities of an investee company. Affiliated investments and affiliated companies are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through the possession outright or via the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person.

 

Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Investments are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forego the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date basis. Investments in other, non-security financial instruments are recorded on the basis of subscription date or redemption date, as applicable. Amounts for investments recognized or derecognized but not yet settled are reported as receivables for investments sold and payables for investments purchased, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Investment Risks

 

The Company’s investments are subject to a variety of risks. Those risks include the following:

 

Market Risk

 

Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the fair value of the financial instrument.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk represents the risk that the Company would incur if the counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their agreements with the Company.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk represents the possibility that the Company may not be able to rapidly adjust the size of its positions in times of high volatility and financial stress at a reasonable price.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest rate risk represents a change in interest rates, which could result in an adverse change in the fair value of an interest-bearing financial instrument.

 

Prepayment Risk

 

Most of the Company’s debt investments allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Downward changes in interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a faster than expected rate, thereby effectively shortening the maturity of the security and making the security less likely to be an income producing instrument.

 

Investment Valuation

 

Our Board of Directors has established procedures for the valuation of our investment portfolio. These procedures are detailed below.

 

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations.

 

For most of our investments, market quotations are not available. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our Board of Directors has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

1)             Each portfolio company or investment is reviewed by our investment professionals with the independent valuation firm;

 

2)             the independent valuation firm engaged by our Board of Directors conducts independent appraisals and makes their own independent assessment;

 

3)             the audit committee of our Board of Directors reviews and discusses the preliminary valuation by our Investment Adviser within the valuation range presented by the independent valuation firm; and

 

4)             the Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in

 

27



Table of Contents

 

good faith based on the input of our Investment Adviser, the respective independent valuation firm and the audit committee.

 

Investments are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, a liquidation approach, or a combination of approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present value amount (discounted) calculated based on an appropriate discount rate. The measurement is based on the net present value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, the principal market and enterprise values, among other factors.

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We adopted ASC 820 on a prospective basis beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

 

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

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.

 

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

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The changes to GAAP from the application of ASC 820 relate to the definition of fair value, framework for measuring fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by other standards. In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of our investments is defined as the price that we would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market in which that investment is transacted.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC Subtopic 820-10-65, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“ASC 820-10”). This update provides further clarification for ASC 820 in markets that are not active and provides additional guidance for determining when the volume of trading level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and for identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. ASC 820-10-65 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, did not have any effect on our net asset value, financial position or results of operations as there was no change to the fair value measurement principles set forth in ASC 820.

 

Valuation of Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

 

In February 2007, FASB issued ASC Subtopic 820-10-05-1, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASC 820-10-05-1”). ASC 820-10-05-1 permits an entity to elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for many of assets and liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected and similar assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute. We adopted this statement on July 1, 2008 and have elected not to value other assets and liabilities at fair value as would be permitted by ASC 820-10-05-1.

Senior Convertible Notes

 

We have recorded the Senior Convertible Notes (See Note 6) at their contractual amounts. The Senior Convertible Notes were analyzed for any features that would require its accounting to be bifurcated and they were determined to be immaterial.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method.

 

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, closing and/or commitment fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are accreted into interest income over the respective terms of the applicable loans. Accretion of such purchase discounts or premiums is calculated by the effective interest method as of the purchase date and adjusted only for material amendments or prepayments. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, closing and commitment fees are recorded as interest income. The purchase discount for portfolio investments acquired from Patriot was determined based on the difference between par value and fair market value as of December 2, 2009, and will continue to accrete until maturity or repayment of the respective loans.

 

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Structuring fees and similar fees are recognized as income as earned, usually when paid. Structuring fees, excess deal deposits, net profits interests and overriding royalty interests are included in other income.

 

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the investment. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current.

 

Federal and State Income Taxes

 

We have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies. We are required to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income and intend to distribute (or retain through a deemed distribution) all of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain to stockholders; therefore, we have made no provision for income taxes. The character of income and gains that we will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.

 

If we do not distribute (or are not deemed to have distributed) at least 98% of our annual taxable income in the calendar year it is earned, we will generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of our annual taxable income exceeds the distributions from such taxable income for the year. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, we accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate. The annual effective excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income.

 

If we fail to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, we would be subject to tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would we be required to make distributions. Distributions would generally be taxable to our individual and other non-corporate taxable stockholders as ordinary dividend income eligible for the reduced maximum rate for taxable years beginning before 2013 (but not for taxable years beginning thereafter, unless the relevant provisions are extended by legislation) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributions would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. To qualify again to be taxed as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to distribute to our shareholders our accumulated earnings and profits attributable to non-RIC years reduced by an interest charge of 50% of such earnings and profits payable by us as an additional tax. In

 

29

addition, if we failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then, in order to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to elect to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (the excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if we had been liquidated) or, alternatively, be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of ten years.

 

We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are ‘‘more-likely-than-not’’ of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of ASC 740 was applied to all open tax years as of July 1, 2007. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have an effect on our net asset value, financial condition or results of operations as there was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no change to our beginning net asset value. As of March 31, 2011 and for the three and nine months then ended, we did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Management’s determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

Dividends and Distributions

 

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, if any, to be paid as a monthly dividend or distribution is approved by our Board of Directors quarterly and is generally based upon our management’s estimate of our earnings for the quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

 

Financing Costs

 

We record origination expenses related to our credit facility and the Senior Convertible Notes as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method for our revolving credit facility and the effective interest method for our Senior Convertible Notes, over the respective stated life.

 

We record registration expenses related to shelf filings as prepaid assets. These expenses consist principally of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration fees, legal fees and accounting fees incurred. These prepaid assets will be charged to capital upon the receipt of an equity offering proceeds or charged to expense if no offering completed.

 

Guarantees and Indemnification Agreements

 

We follow ASC 460, Guarantees (“ASC 460”). ASC 460 elaborates on the disclosure requirements of a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, for those guarantees that are covered by ASC 460, the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing certain guarantees.

 

Per Share Information

 

Net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented. In accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies, convertible securities are not considered in the calculation of net assets per share.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment to FAS 140 (“ASC 860”). ASC 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets: the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows: and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. ASC 860 was effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (our June 30, 2011 fiscal year), for interim periods within that first annual reporting

period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 is intended to (1) address the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in ASC 860, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. ASC 810 was effective as of the beginning of our first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (our June 30, 2011 fiscal year). The adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820-10 and clarifies and provides additional disclosure requirements related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchase, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (or July 1, 2011 for us) and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Our management does not believe that the adoption of the amended guidance in ASC 820-10 will have a significant effect on our financial statements.

 

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-10, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments for Certain Investments Funds (“ASU 2010-10”), which defers the application of the consolidation guidance in ASC 810 for certain investments funds. The disclosure requirements continue to apply to all entities. ASU 2010-10 was effective as of the beginning of the first annual period that began after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual period or July 1, 2010 for us. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position.

 

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules (“ASU 2010-21”). ASU 2010-21 amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position.

 

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics - Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs (“ASU 2010-22”). ASU 2010-22 amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position.

 

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) — Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (a consensus of the FASM Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2010-29”). ASU 2010-29 addresses diversity in practice about the interpretation of pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amended guidance in ASU 2010-29 specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior reporting period only. This standard also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under ASC 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in ASU 2010-29 are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted or effective July 1, 2011 for us. We do not believe that the adoption of the amended guidance in ASU 2010-29 will have a significant effect on our financial statements.

 

In February 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“ASU 2011-02”). ASU 2011-02 clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following

 

31



Table of Contents

 

exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 provides guidance to clarify whether the creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or July 1, 2011 for us. We do not believe that the adoption of the amended guidance in ASU 2011-02 will have a significant effect on our financial statements.

 

Note 3. Patriot Acquisition

 

On December 2, 2009, we acquired the outstanding shares of Patriot Capital Funding, Inc. (“Patriot”) common stock for $201,083. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Patriot common shareholders received 0.363992 shares of our common stock for each share of Patriot common stock, resulting in 8,444,068 shares of common stock being issued by us. In connection with the transaction, we repaid all the outstanding borrowings of Patriot, in compliance with the merger agreement.

 

On December 2, 2009, Patriot made a final dividend payment equal to its undistributed net ordinary income and capital gains of $0.38 per share. In accordance with a recent IRS revenue procedure, the dividend was paid 10% in cash and 90% in newly issued shares of Patriot’s common stock. The exchange ratio was adjusted to give effect to the final income distribution.

 

The merger has been accounted for as an acquisition of Patriot by Prospect Capital Corporation (“Prospect”) in accordance with acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The fair value of the consideration paid was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as the date of acquisition. As described in more detail in ASC 805, goodwill, if any, would have been recognized as of the acquisition date, if the consideration transferred exceeded the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred, and we recognized the excess as a gain. A preliminary gain of $5,714 was recorded by Prospect in the quarter ended December 31, 2009 related to the acquisition of Patriot, which was revised in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010 to $7,708, when we settled severance accruals related to certain members of Patriot’s top management and finalized during the first quarter of Fiscal 2011, to $8,632, when we settled the remaining severance accruals related to the last two members of Patriot’s top management. Under ASC 805, the adjustments to our preliminary estimate were reflected in the three months ended December 31, 2009 (See Note 14). The acquisition of Patriot was negotiated in July 2009 with the purchase agreement being signed on August 3, 2009. Between July 2009 and December 2, 2009, our valuation of certain of the investments acquired from Patriot increased due to market improvement, which resulted in the recognition of the gain at closing.

(1) Relates to assets held at March 31, 2010

 

At March 31, 2011, eight loan investments were on non-accrual status: Borga, Deb Shops, Inc. (“Deb Shops”), Freedom Marine, ICS, Nupla, Manx, Wind River Resources Corp. and Wind River II Corp. (“Wind River”), and Yatesville. At June 30, 2010, nine loan investments were on non-accrual status: Borga, Deb Shops, ICS, Iron Horse, Nupla, Manx, Sidump’r Trailer Company, Inc., Wind River and Yatesville. The loan principal of these loans amounted to $91,905 and $163,653 as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The fair values of these investments represent approximately 2.4% and 5.6% of our net assets as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, the income foregone as a result of not accruing interest on non-accrual debt investments amounted to $3,518 and $4,027, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, the income foregone as a result of not accruing interest on non-accrual debt investments amounted to $10,085 and $16,604, respectively. At March 31, 2011, we held one asset on accrual status for which the payment of interest was past-due more than 60 days, H&M Oil and Gas, LLC. The principal balance of this loan is $60,470 and the accrued interest receivable is $1,955 at March 31, 2011.

 

GSHI has indemnified us against any legal action arising from its investment in Gas Solutions, LP. We have incurred approximately $2,093 from the inception of the investment in GSHI through December 31, 2009 for fees associated with a legal action, and GSHI has reimbursed us for the entire amount. There were no such legal fees incurred or reimbursed for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. Additionally, certain other expenses incurred by us which are attributable to GSHI have been reimbursed by GSHI and are reflected as dividend income: control investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, such reimbursements totaled as $2,500 and $2,300, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, such reimbursements totaled as $6,350 and $12,300, respectively.

 

On December 3, 2010, we exercised our warrants in Miller Petroleum, Inc (“Miller”) and received 2,013,814 shares of Miller common stock. On December 27, 2010, we sold 1,397,510 these shares receiving $3.95 of net proceeds per share, realizing a gain of $5,415. On January 10, 2011, we sold the remaining 616,304 shares of Miller common stock receiving $4.23 of net proceeds per share, realizing an additional gain of $2,561. The total gain was $7,976 on the sale of the Miller common stock.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, we discontinued operations at Yatesville. As of December 31, 2009, consistent with the decision to discontinue operations, we determined that the impairment of Yatesville was other-than-temporary and recorded a realized loss of $51,228 for the amount that the amortized cost exceeded the fair market value. As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, Yatesville is valued at zero and $808, respectively.

 

The original cost basis of debt placements and equity securities acquired, including follow-on investments for existing portfolio companies, totaled $356,659 and $59,311 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. These placements and acquisitions totaled $632,526 and $275,815 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The $275,815 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 includes $207,126 of portfolio investments acquired from Patriot. Debt repayments and sales of equity securities with a cost basis of $76,494 and $26,603 were received during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. These

repayments and sales amounted to $207,557 and $96,338 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized $4,739 and $10,092, respectively, of interest income due to purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot. Included in the $4,739 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, is $1,302 of normal accretion and $3,268 of accelerated accretion resulting from the recapitalization of our loans to Arrowhead General Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Arrowhead”) and The Copernicus Group, Inc. (“Copernicus”). Included in the $10,092 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, is $3,979 of normal accretion, $1,116 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Impact Products, LLC and $4,828 of accelerated accretion resulting from the recapitalization of our debt investments in Arrowhead, Copernicus and Northwestern Management Services, LLC (“Northwestern”). The restructured loans for Arrowhead, Copernicus and Northwestern were issued at market terms comparable other industry transactions. In accordance with ASC 320-20-35 the cost basis of the new loan was recorded at par value, which precipitated the acceleration of original purchase discount from the loan repayment which was recognized as interest income.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, we recognized $9,133 and $14,454, respectively, of interest income due to purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot. Included in the $9,133 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, is $2,231 of normal accretion and $6,902 of accelerated accretion resulting from the restructuring of our loans to Aircraft Fasteners International, LLC (“AFI”), Prince Mineral Company, Inc. (“Prince”) and R-O-M Corporation (“ROM”). The revised terms were more favorable than the original terms and increased the present value of the future cash flows. In accordance with ASC 320-20-35 the cost basis of the new loans were recorded at par value, which precipitated the acceleration of original purchase discount from the loan repayment which was recognized as interest income. Included in the $14,454 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, is $2,992 of normal accretion and $11,462 of accelerated accretion resulting from the early repayments of three loans, three revolving lines of credit, the sale of one investment position and the restructuring of our loans to AFI, Prince and ROM.

 

As of March 31, 2011, $20,658 of purchase discount from the assets acquired from Patriot remains to be accreted as interest income.

 

As of March 31, 2011, $776,521 of our loans bear interest at floating rates, $766,855 of which have Libor floors ranging from 1.00% to 6.00%.

 

Note 5. Revolving Credit Agreements

 

On June 6, 2007, we closed on a $200,000 three-year revolving credit facility (as amended on December 31, 2007) with Rabobank Nederland (“Rabobank”) as administrative agent and sole lead arranger (the “Rabobank Facility”).

 

On June 25, 2009, we completed a first closing on an expanded $250,000 revolving credit facility. The new Syndicated Facility, which had $175,000 total commitments as of June 30, 2009, included an accordion feature which allows the Syndicated Facility to accept up to an aggregate total of $250,000 of commitments for which we solicited additional commitments from other lenders for an additional $35,000 raising the commitments to $210,000. The revolving period ended on June 11, 2010, when we closed on our expanded revolving credit facility. On June 11, 2010, we closed an extension and expansion of our revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders (the “Syndicated Facility”). The lenders have extended commitments of $285,000 under the Syndicated Facility as of March 31, 2011; which was increased to $325,000 on April 21, 2011. The Syndicated Facility includes an accordion feature which allows the facility to be increased to up to $400,000 of commitments in the aggregate to the extent additional or existing lenders commit to increase the commitments. We will seek to add additional lenders in order to reach the maximum size; although no assurance can be given we will be able to do so. As we pledge additional investments to the Syndicated Facility, we will generate additional availability to the extent such investments are eligible to be placed into the borrowing base. The revolving period of the Syndicated Facility extends through June 2012, with an additional one year amortization period (with distributions allowed) after the completion of the revolving period. During such one year amortization period, all principal payments on the pledged assets will be applied to reduce the balance. At the end of the one year amortization period, the remaining balance will become due if required by the lenders.

 

The Syndicated Facility contains restrictions pertaining to the geographic and industry concentrations of funded loans, maximum size of funded loans, interest rate payment frequency of funded loans, maturity dates of funded loans and minimum equity requirements. The Syndicated Facility also contains certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, including required minimum portfolio yield and limitations on delinquencies and charge-offs, violation of

which could result in the early termination of the Syndicated Facility. The Syndicated Facility also requires the maintenance of a minimum liquidity requirement. At March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants or had obtained waivers for conditions of non-compliance.

 

Interest on borrowings under the Syndicated Facility is one-month LIBOR plus 325 basis points, subject to a minimum Libor floor of 100 basis points. Additionally, the lenders charge a fee on the unused portion of the Syndicated Facility equal to either 75 basis points if at least half of the credit facility is used or 100 basis points otherwise. The Syndicated Facility requires us to pledge assets as collateral in order to borrow under the credit facility. As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, we had $207,467 and $180,678 available to us for borrowing under our Syndicated Facility, of which $47,500 and $100,300 was outstanding, respectively. As we make additional investments which are eligible to be pledged under the Syndicated Facility, we will generate additional availability to the extent such investments are eligible to be placed into the borrowing base. At March 31, 2011, the investments used as collateral for the Syndicated Facility had an aggregate market value of $603,759, which represents 66.1% of net assets. Prospect Capital Funding, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, holds $543,159 of these investments at market value as of March 31, 2011. The release of any assets from Prospect Capital Funding, LLC requires the approval of Rabobank as facility agent.

 

In connection with the origination and amendments of the Syndicated Facility, we incurred $9,476 of fees, including $3,224 of fees carried over from the previous facility, which are being amortized over the term of the facility in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, of which $5,960 remains to be amortized.

 

Note 6. Senior Convertible Notes

 

On December 21, 2010, we issued $150,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 6.25% senior convertible notes due 2015 (“2010 Notes”) for net proceeds following underwriting expenses of approximately $145,200. Interest on the 2010 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, at a rate of 6.25% per year, commencing June 15, 2011. The 2010 Notes mature on December 15, 2015 unless converted earlier. The 2010 Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate and conversion rate at March 31, 2011 of 88.0902 and 88.0908 shares, respectively, of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2010 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $11.352 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The conversion rate for the 2010 Notes will be increased when monthly cash dividends paid to common shares exceed the rate of $0.101125 per share, subject to adjustment.

 

On February 18, 2011, we issued $172,500 in aggregate principal amount of our 5.50% senior convertible notes due 2016 (“2011 Notes”) for net proceeds following underwriting expenses of approximately $167,325. Interest on the 2011 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, at a rate of 5.50% per year, commencing August 15, 2011. The 2011 Notes mature on August 15, 2016 unless converted earlier. The 2011 Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate and conversion rate at March 31, 2011 of 78.3699 and 78.3701 shares, respectively, of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2011 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.76 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The conversion rate for the 2011 Notes will be increased when monthly cash dividends paid to common shares exceed the rate of $0.101150 per share.

 

In no event will the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion exceed 96.8992 and 78.3699 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2010 Notes and 2011 Notes, respectively, (the “conversion rate cap”), except that, to the extent we receive written guidance or a no-action letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Guidance”) permitting us to adjust the conversion rate in certain instances without regard to the conversion rate cap and to make the 2010 Notes and 2011 Notes (collectively, “Senior Convertible Notes”) convertible into certain reference property in accordance with certain reclassifications, business combinations, asset sales and corporate events by us without regard to the conversion rate cap, we will make such adjustments without regard to the conversion rate cap and will also, to the extent that we make any such adjustment without regard to the conversion rate cap pursuant to the Guidance, adjust the conversion rate cap accordingly. We will use our commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Guidance as promptly as practicable.

 

Prior to obtaining the Guidance, we will not engage in certain transactions that would result in an adjustment to the conversion rate increasing the conversion rate beyond what it would have been in the absence of such transaction unless we have engaged in a reverse stock split or share combination transaction such that in our reasonable best estimation, the conversion rate following the adjustment for such transaction will not be any closer to the conversion rate cap than it would have been in the absence of such transaction.

Upon conversion, unless a holder converts after a record date for an interest payment but prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the holder will receive a separate cash payment with respect to the Notes surrendered for conversion representing accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including the conversion date. Any such payment will be made on the settlement date applicable to the relevant conversion on the Senior Convertible Notes.

 

No holder of Senior Convertible Notes will be entitled to receive shares of our common stock upon conversion to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt would cause such converting holder to become, directly or indirectly, a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of more than 5.0% of the shares of our common stock outstanding at such time. The 5.0% limitation shall no longer apply following the effective date of any fundamental change. We will not issue any shares in connection with the conversion or redemption of the Notes which would equal or exceed 20% of the shares outstanding at the time of the transaction in accordance with NASDAQ rules.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, holders may require us to repurchase, for cash, all or part of their Notes upon a fundamental change at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, upon a fundamental change that constitutes a non-stock change of control we will also pay holders an amount in cash equal to the present value of all remaining interest payments (without duplication of the foregoing amounts) on such Senior Convertible Notes through and including the maturity date.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Convertible Notes, we incurred $10,536 of fees which are being amortized over the term of the facility in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, of which $10,226 remains to be amortized.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded $3,688 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs as interest expense.

(1) On November 10, 2010, we established a fourth at-the-market program through which we may sell, from time to time and at our sole discretion 9,750,000 shares of our common stock. Through this program we issued 4,513,920 shares of our common stock at an average price of $10.00 per share, raising $45,147 of gross proceeds, from November 16, 2010 through December 15, 2010.

(2) On September 24, 2010, we established a third at-the-market program through which we sold 5,231,956 shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.86 per share, raising $51,597 of gross proceeds, from September 29, 2010 through November 3, 2010.

(3) On July 19, 2010, we established a second at-the-market program through which we sold 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.73 per share, raising $58,403 of gross proceeds, from July 22, 2010 through September 28, 2010.

(4) On March 17, 2010, we established an at-the-market program through which we sold 8,000,000 shares of our common stock. Through this program we issued 811,500 shares of our common stock at an average price of $12.60 per share, raising $10,230 of gross proceeds, from March 23, 2010 through March 31, 2010. Through this program we also issued 2,748,600 shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.75 per share, raising $26,799 of gross proceeds, from July 1, 2010 through July 21, 2010.

(5) Concurrent with the sale of these shares, we entered into a registration rights agreement in which we granted the purchasers certain registration rights with respect to the shares. We have filed with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form N-2 which has been declared effective by the SEC.

 

Our shareholders’ equity accounts at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 reflect cumulative shares issued as of those respective dates. Our common stock has been issued through public offerings, a registered direct offering, private offerings, the exercise of over-allotment options on the part of the underwriters and our dividend reinvestment plan. When our common stock is issued, the related offering expenses have been charged against paid-in capital in excess of par. All underwriting fees and offering expenses were borne by us.

 

On December 2, 2009, we issued 8,444,068 shares of common stock to acquire Patriot. This transaction is described in further detail in Note 3.

 

On October 9, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan under which we may repurchase up to $20,000 of our common stock at prices below our net asset value as reported in our financial statements published for the year ended June 30, 2008. We have not made any purchases of our common stock during the period from October 9, 2008 to March 31, 2011 pursuant to this plan.

Note 10. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

 

Investment Advisory Agreement

 

We have entered into an investment advisory and management agreement with Prospect Capital Management (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) under which the Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, us. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, our Investment Adviser: (i) determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes, (ii) identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments we make (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies); and (iii) closes and monitors investments we make.

 

Prospect Capital Management’s services under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and it is free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its services to us are not impaired. For providing these services the Investment Adviser receives a fee from us, consisting of two components:  a base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% on our gross assets (including amounts borrowed). For services currently rendered under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of our gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.

 

The total base management fees incurred to the favor of the Investment Adviser for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 were $6,037, and $3,576, respectively. The fees incurred for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 were $15,216, and $9,961, respectively.

 

The incentive fee has two parts. The first part, the income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, 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 and other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement described below, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized).

 

The net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of the gross assets used to calculate the 2.00% base management fee. We pay the Investment Adviser an income incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

 

·                  no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;

 

43



Table of Contents

 

·                  100.00% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 125.00% of the quarterly hurdle rate in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized assuming a 7.00% annualized hurdle rate); and

 

·                  20.00% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 125.00% of the quarterly hurdle rate in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized assuming a 7.00% annualized hurdle rate).

 

These calculations are appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter.

 

The second part of the incentive fee, the capital gains incentive fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 20.00% of our realized capital gains for the calendar year, if any, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation at the end of such year. In determining the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Investment Adviser, we calculate the aggregate realized capital gains, aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, as applicable, with respect to each investment that has been in its portfolio. For the purpose of this calculation, an “investment” is defined as the total of all rights and claims which maybe asserted against a portfolio company arising from our participation in the debt, equity, and other financial instruments issued by that company. Aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of the differences between the aggregate net sales price of each investment and the aggregate cost basis of such investment when sold or otherwise disposed. Aggregate realized capital losses equal the sum of the amounts by which the aggregate net sales price of each investment is less than the aggregate cost basis of such investment when sold or otherwise disposed. Aggregate unrealized capital depreciation equals the sum of the differences, if negative, between the aggregate valuation of each investment and the aggregate cost basis of such investment as of the applicable calendar year-end . At the end of the applicable calendar year, the amount of capital gains that serves as the basis for our calculation of the capital gains incentive fee involves netting aggregate realized capital gains against aggregate realized capital losses on a since-inception basis and then reducing this amount by the aggregate unrealized capital depreciation. If this number is positive, then the capital gains incentive fee payable is equal to 20.00% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees aid since inception.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, income incentive fees of $5,997 and $4,744, respectively, were incurred. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, income incentive fees of $16,015 and $12,640, respectively, were incurred. No capital gains incentive fees were incurred for the three or nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010.

 

Administration Agreement

 

We have also entered into an Administration Agreement with Prospect Administration, LLC (“Prospect Administration”) under which Prospect Administration, among other things, provides (or arranges for the provision of) administrative services and facilities for us. For providing these services, we reimburse Prospect Administration for our allocable portion of overhead incurred by Prospect Administration in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of our chief compliance officer and chief financial officer and his staff. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the reimbursement was approximately $1,669 and $840, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the reimbursement was approximately $3,309 and $2,520, respectively. Under this agreement, Prospect Administration furnishes us with office facilities, equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities. Prospect Administration also performs, or oversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, Prospect Administration assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. Under the Administration Agreement, Prospect Administration also provides on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party. Prospect Administration is a wholly owned subsidiary of our Investment Adviser.

 

The Administration Agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, Prospect Administration and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees

and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of Prospect Administration’s services under the Administration Agreement or otherwise as administrator for us.

 

Prospect Administration, pursuant to the approval of our Board of Directors, engaged Vastardis Fund Services LLC (“Vastardis”) to serve as our sub-administrator to perform certain services required of Prospect Administration. Under the sub-administration agreement, Vastardis provided us with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities. Vastardis also conducted relations with custodians, depositories, transfer agents, dividend disbursing agents, other stockholder servicing agents, accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurers, banks and such other persons in any such other capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable.

 

On April 30, 2009 we gave a 60-day notice to Vastardis of termination of our agreement to provide sub-administration services effective June 30, 2009. We entered into a new consulting services agreement for the period from July 1, 2009 until the filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009. We paid Vastardis a total of $30 for services rendered in conjunction with preparation of Form 10-K under the new agreement. All services previously provided by Vastardis were assumed by Prospect Administration beginning on July 1, 2009.

 

Managerial Assistance

 

As a business development company, we offer, and must provide upon request, managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. This assistance could involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of our portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising officers of portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial guidance. We billed $400 and $215 of managerial assistance fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, of which $277 and $247 remains on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. We billed $1,013 and $431 of managerial assistance fees for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. These fees are paid to the Administrator when received. We simultaneously accrue a payable to the Administrator for the same amounts, which remain on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

 

Note 11. Merger Proposal to Allied Capital Corporation

 

In January 2010, we delivered a proposal letter to Allied Capital Corporation (“Allied”) noting our opposition to Allied’s proposed merger with Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares”) and containing an offer to acquire each outstanding Allied share in exchange for 0.385 of a share of our common stock. Allied expressed that our offer did not constitute a “Superior Proposal” as defined in their Merger Agreement with Ares and declined our January 2010 offer. In February 2010, we increased our offer to 0.4416 of a share of our common stock. This final offer was also declined by Allied. On March 5, 2010, following Allied’s announcement of a special dividend to shareholders, we terminated our solicitation in opposition of the proposed merger with Ares. We incurred $925 of administrative and legal expense for advice relating to this potential acquisition for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

 

Note 12. Litigation

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to intellectual property, employment, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We are not aware of any such litigation as of March 31, 2011.

General

 

We are a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in middle market privately-held companies. We are a closed-end investment company that has filed an election to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 1940 Act. We invest primarily in senior and subordinated debt and equity of companies in need of capital for acquisitions, divestitures, growth, development, project financing and recapitalization. We work with the management teams or financial sponsors to seek investments with historical cash flows, asset collateral or contracted pro-forma cash flows.

 

We seek to be a long-term investor with our portfolio companies. From our July 27, 2004 inception to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we invested primarily in industries related to the industrial/energy economy. Since then, we have widened our strategy to focus in other sectors of the economy and continue to diversify our portfolio holdings.

Table of Contents

 

The aggregate value of our portfolio investments was $1,213,517 and $748,483 as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, our net cost of investments increased by $444,880, or 61.0%, primarily as a result of our investment in nineteen new and ten follow-on investments of $632,526, while we received full repayment on eleven investments, sold three investments and received several partial prepayments and revolver paydowns of $214,125.

 

Compared to the end of last fiscal year (ended June 30, 2010), net assets increased by $201,497 or 28.0% during the nine months ended March 31, 2011, from $711,424 to $912,921. This increase resulted from the issuance of new shares of our common stock (less offering costs) in the amount of $177,593, dividend reinvestments of $8,166, and another $91,279 from operations. These increases, in turn, were offset by $75,541 in dividend distributions to our stockholders. The $91,279 increase in net assets resulting from operations is net of the following: net investment income of $64,031, net realized gain on investments of $7,094, and an increase in net assets due to changes in net unrealized appreciation of investments of $20,154.

 

Market Conditions

 

The economy continues to show signs of recovery from the deteriorating credit markets of 2008 and 2009. The growth and improvement in the capital markets that began during the second half of 2009 has continued. While encouraged by the signs of improvement, we operate in a challenging environment that is still recovering from a recession and financial services industry negatively affected by the deterioration of credit quality in subprime residential mortgages that spread rapidly to other credit markets. Market liquidity and credit quality conditions continue to remain weaker today than three years ago.

 

We believe that Prospect is well positioned to navigate through these adverse market conditions. As a business development company, we are limited to a maximum 1 to 1 debt to equity ratio. On December 21, 2010 and February 18, 2011, we issued $150,000 of 6.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2015 (“2010 Notes”) and $172,500 of 5.50% Senior Convertible Notes due 2016 (“2011 Notes”), respectively (collectively, “Senior Convertible Notes”), to further enhance our liquidity position and to demonstrate our access to the unsecured term debt market (as described in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements). The Senior Convertible Notes are general unsecured obligations, rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future senior unsecured debt, and will rank senior in right of payment to any potential subordinated debt, should any be issued in the future. The Senior Convertible Notes have no restrictions related to the type and security of assets in which Prospect might invest.

 

As of March 31, 2011, we had $47,500 outstanding borrowings on the credit facility and $322,500 outstanding on our Senior Convertible Notes. We also had $159,967 available under our credit facility for additional borrowing. Further, as we pledge additional investments to the credit facility, we will generate additional credit facility availability. The revolving period for our credit facility continues until June 13, 2012, with an amortization running to June 13, 2013. During the amortization period only principal payments received on the pledged assets are required to be used for amortization.

 

We also continue to generate liquidity through public and private stock offerings. On July 7, 2009, we completed a public stock offering for 5,175,000 shares of our common stock at $9.00 per share, raising $46,575 of gross proceeds. On August 20, 2009 and September 24, 2009, we issued 3,449,686 shares and 2,807,111 shares, respectively, of our common stock at $8.50 and $9.00 per share, respectively, in private stock offerings, raising $29,322, and $25,264 of gross proceeds, respectively. Concurrent with the sale of these shares, we entered into a registration rights agreement in which we granted the purchasers certain registration rights with respect to the shares. Under the terms and conditions of the registration rights agreement, we filed with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form N-2 on November 6, 2009. Such amendment was declared effective by the SEC on November 9, 2009.

 

On March 17, 2010, we established an at-the-market program through which we sold shares of our common stock. An at-the-market offering is a registered offering by a publicly traded issuer of its listed equity securities selling shares directly into the market at market prices. We engaged two broker-dealers to act as agents and sell our common stock directly into the market over a period of time. We paid a 2% commission to the broker-dealer on shares sold. Through this program we issued 8,000,000 shares of our common stock at an average price of $10.90 per share, raising $87,177 of gross proceeds, from March 23, 2010 through July 21, 2010.

 

On July 19, 2010, we established a second at-the-market program, as we had sold all the shares authorized in the original at-the-market program. We engaged three broker-dealers to act as potential agents and sell our common stock directly into the market over a period of time. We paid a 2% commission to the broker-dealer on shares sold. Through this

program we issued 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.73 per share, raising $58,403 of gross proceeds, from July 22, 2010 through September 28, 2010.

 

On September 24, 2010, we established a third at-the-market program, as we had sold all the shares authorized in the preceding at-the-market programs, through which we may sell, from time to time and at our discretion, 6,000,000 shares of our common stock. We engaged three broker-dealers to act as potential agents and sell our common stock directly into the market over a period of time. We currently pay a 2% commission to the broker-dealer on shares sold. Through this program we issued 302,400 shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.87 per share, raising $2,986 of gross proceeds, from September 29, 2010 through September 30, 2010. During the period from October 1, 2010 to November 3, 2010, we continued this program and issued an additional 4,929,556 shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.86 per share, raising $48,611 of gross proceeds.

 

On November 10, 2010, we established a fourth at-the-market program, through which we may sell, from time to time and at our discretion, 9,750,000 shares of our common stock. We engaged four broker-dealers to act as potential agents and sell our common stock directly into the market over a period of time. We pay a 2% commission to the broker-dealer on shares sold. Through this program we issued 4,513,920 shares of our common stock at an average price of $10.00 per share, raising $45,147 of gross proceeds, from November 16, 2010 through December 15, 2010.

 

On March 16, 2011, our new Registration Statement on Form N-2 was declared effective by the SEC. Under this Shelf Registration Statement, we can issue up to $750,000 of additional equity securities as of March 31, 2011.

 

On April 7, 2011, we completed a public stock offering for 9,000,000 shares of our common stock at $11.40 per share, raising $102,600 of gross proceeds.

 

Our Board of Directors, pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law, executed Articles of Amendment to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 in the aggregate. The amendment became effective August 31, 2010.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.

Senior Convertible Notes

 

On February 18, 2011, we issued $172,500 in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior convertible notes due 2016. The 2011 Notes mature on August 15, 2016, unless previously converted in accordance with their terms. The 2011 Notes are general unsecured obligations, rank equally in right of payment with our existing, including the 2010 Notes and future senior unsecured debt, and rank senior in right of payment to any potential subordinated debt, should any be issued in the future. The 2011 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate and conversion rate at March 31, 2011 of 78.3699 and 78.3701 shares, respectively, of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2011 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.76 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The holders of the 2011 Notes may also put back the 2011 Notes to the Company under certain circumstances. The net proceeds from the offering of the 2011 Notes were approximately $166,925, which have used to maintain balance sheet liquidity, including repayment of debt under our credit facility, investments in high quality short-term debt instruments or a combination thereof, and will thereafter be used to make long-term investments in accordance with our investment objective. We have analyzed the features of the 2011 Notes to determine if bifurcation was necessary and have determined that it is not material.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. In addition to the discussion below, our critical accounting policies are further described in the notes to the financial statements.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

Under the 1940 Act rules, the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services and benefits to us. Our March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of Prospect Capital Funding, LLC, our only wholly-owned, closely-managed subsidiary, which is also an investment company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Investment Classification

 

We are a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. We classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, control investments are those where there is the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, a beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the voting securities of an investee company. Affiliated investments and affiliated companies are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through the possession outright or via the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person.

 

Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Investments are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forego the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date basis. Investments in other, non-security financial instruments are recorded on the basis of subscription date or redemption date, as applicable. Amounts for investments recognized or derecognized but not yet settled are reported as Receivables for investments sold and Payables for investments purchased, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Investment Valuation

 

Our Board of Directors has established procedures for the valuation of our investment portfolio. These procedures are detailed below.

 

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations.

 

For most of our investments, market quotations are not available. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our Board of Directors has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

1) Each portfolio company or investment is reviewed by our investment professionals with the independent valuation firm engaged by our Board of Directors;

 

2) the independent valuation firm conducts independent appraisals and makes their own independent assessment;

 

3) the audit committee of our Board of Directors reviews and discusses the preliminary valuation by our Investment Adviser within the valuation range presented by the independent valuation firm; and

 

4) the Board of Directors discusses the valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of our Investment Adviser, the independent valuation firm and the audit committee.

Table of Contents

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We adopted ASC 820 on a prospective basis beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

 

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

 

Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by the Company at the measurement date.

 

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

 

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment.

 

The changes to generally accepted accounting principles from the application of ASC 820 relate to the definition of fair value, framework for measuring fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by other standards.

 

In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of our investments is defined as the price that we would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market in which that investment is transacted.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10-65, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“ASC 820-10-65”). This update provides further clarification for ASC 820 in markets that are not active and provides additional guidance for determining when the volume of trading level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and for identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. ASC 820-10-65 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, did not have any effect on our net asset value, financial position or results of operations as there was no change to the fair value measurement principles set forth in ASC 820.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820-10 and clarifies and provides additional disclosure requirements related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Our management does not believe that the adoption of the amended guidance in ASC 820-10 will have a significant effect on our financial statements.

 

Federal and State Income Taxes

 

We have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies. We are required to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income and intend to distribute (or retain through a deemed distribution) all of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain to stockholders; therefore, we have made no provision for income taxes. The character of income and gains that we will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.

 

If we do not distribute (or are not deemed to have distributed) at least 98% of our annual taxable income in the calendar year earned, we will generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of our annual taxable income exceeds the distributions from such taxable income for the year. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, we accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an

 

56



Table of Contents

 

annual effective excise tax rate. The annual effective excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income.

 

If we fail to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, we would be subject to tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would we be required to make distributions. Distributions would generally be taxable to our individual and other non-corporate taxable stockholders as ordinary dividend income eligible for the reduced maximum rate for taxable years beginning before 2013 (but not for taxable years beginning thereafter, unless the relevant provisions are extended by legislation) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributions would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. To qualify again to be taxed as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to distribute to our shareholders our accumulated earnings and profits attributable to non-RIC years reduced by an interest charge of 50% of such earnings and profits payable by us as an additional tax. In addition, if we failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then, in order to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to elect to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (the excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if we had been liquidated) or, alternatively, be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of ten years.

 

We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are ‘‘more-likely-than-not’’ of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of ASC 740 was applied to all open tax years as of July 1, 2007. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have an effect on our net asset value, financial condition or results of operations as there was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no change to our beginning net asset value. As of March 31, 2011 and for the three and nine months then ended, we did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Management’s determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method.

 

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, closing and/or commitment fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are accreted into interest income over the respective terms of the applicable loans. Upon the prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties and unamortized loan origination, closing and commitment fees are recorded as interest income.

 

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the investment. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. As of March 31, 2011, approximately 2.4% of our net assets are in non-accrual status.

 

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Structuring fees and similar fees are recognized as income as earned, usually when paid. Structuring fees, excess deal deposits, net profits interests and overriding royalty interests are included in other income.

 

Dividends and Distributions

 

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, if any, to be paid as a monthly dividend or distribution is approved by our Board of Directors quarterly and is generally based upon our management’s estimate of our earnings for the quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

Financing Costs

 

We record origination expenses related to our credit facility and the Senior Convertible Notes as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method for our revolving credit facility and the effective interest method for our Senior Convertible Notes, over the respective stated life.

 

We record registration expenses related to shelf filings as prepaid assets. These expenses consist principally of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration fees, legal fees and accounting fees incurred. These prepaid assets will be charged to capital upon the receipt of an equity offering proceeds or charged to expense if no offering completed.

 

Senior Convertible Notes

 

We have recorded the Senior Convertible Notes (See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.) at their contractual amounts. The Senior Convertible Notes were analyzed for any features that would require its accounting to be bifurcated and they were determined to be immaterial.

 

Guarantees and Indemnification Agreements

 

We followASC 460, Guarantees (“ASC 460”). ASC 460 elaborates on the disclosure requirements of a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, for those guarantees that are covered by ASC 460, the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing certain guarantees.

 

Per Share Information

 

Net increase or decrease in net assets resulting from operations per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented. In accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies, convertible securities are not considered in the calculation of net assets per share.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment to FAS 140 (“ASC 860”). ASC 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets: the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows: and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. ASC 860 was effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (our June 30, 2011 fiscal year), for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 is intended to (1) address the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in ASC 860, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provided timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. ASC 810 was effective as of the beginning of our first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (our June 30, 2011 fiscal year). The adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820-10 and clarifies and provides additional disclosure requirements related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchase, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (or July 1,

 

58

2011 for us) and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe that the adoption of the amended guidance in ASC 820-10 will have a significant effect on our financial statements.

 

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-10, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments for Certain Investments Funds (“ASU 2010-10”), which defers the application of the consolidation guidance in ASC 810 for certain investments funds. The disclosure requirements continue to apply to all entities. ASU 2010-10 was effective as of the beginning of the first annual period that began after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual period or July 1, 2010 for us. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position.

 

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules (“ASU 2010-21”). This Accounting Standards Update various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position.

 

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics - Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs (“ASU 2010-22”). ASU 2010-22 amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics. The adoption of this standard had no effect on our results of operation or our financial position.

 

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) — Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (a consensus of the FASM Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2010-29”). ASU 2010-29 addresses diversity in practice about the interpretation of pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amended guidance in ASU 2010-29 specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior reporting period only. This standard also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under ASC 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in ASU 2010-29 are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted or effective July 1, 2011 for us. Our management does not believe that the adoption of the amended guidance in ASU 2010-29 will have a significant effect on our financial statements

 

In February 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“ASU 2011-02”). ASU 2011-02 clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 provides guidance to clarify whether the creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or July 1, 2011 for us. We do not believe that the adoption of the amended guidance in ASU 2011-02 will have a significant effect on our financial statements.

 

Patriot Acquisition

 

On December 2, 2009, we acquired the outstanding shares of Patriot Capital Funding, Inc. (“Patriot”) common stock for $201,083. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Patriot common shareholders received 0.363992 shares of our common stock for each share of Patriot common stock, resulting in 8,444,068 shares of common stock being issued by us. In connection with the transaction, we repaid all the outstanding borrowings of Patriot, in compliance with the merger agreement.

 

On December 2, 2009, Patriot made a final dividend equal to its undistributed net ordinary income and capital gains of $0.38 per share. In accordance with a recent IRS revenue procedure, the dividend was paid 10% in cash and 90% in

newly issued shares of Patriot’s common stock. The exchange ratio was adjusted to give effect to the final income distribution.

 

The merger has been accounted for as an acquisition of Patriot by Prospect Capital Corporation (“Prospect”) in accordance with acquisition method of accounting as detailed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The fair value of the consideration paid was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as the date of acquisition. As described in more detail in ASC 805, goodwill, if any, would have been recognized as of the acquisition date, if the consideration transferred exceeded the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred, and we recognized the excess as a gain. A preliminary gain of $5,714 was recorded by Prospect in the quarter ended December 31, 2009 related to the acquisition of Patriot, which was revised in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010, to $7,708, when we settled severance accruals related to certain members of Patriot’s top management, and finalized during the first quarter of Fiscal 2011, to $8,632, when we settled the remaining severance accruals related to the last two members of Patriot’s top management. Under ASC 805, the adjustments to our preliminary estimates were reflected in the three months ended December 31, 2009 (See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements.). The acquisition of Patriot was negotiated in July 2009 with the purchase agreement being signed on August 3, 2009. Between July 2009 and December 2, 2009, our valuation of certain of the investments acquired from Patriot increased due to market improvement, which resulted in the recognition of the gain at closing.

 

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as summarized in the following table:

  The value of the shares of common stock exchanged with the Patriot common shareholders was based upon the closing price of our common stock on December 2, 2009, the price immediately prior to the closing of the transaction.

 

(2)

  The fair value of Patriot’s investments was determined by the Board of Directors in conjunction with an independent valuation agent. This valuation resulted in a purchase price which was $98,150 below the amortized cost of such investments. For those assets which are performing, Prospect will record the accretion to par value in interest income over the remaining term of the investment.

 

(3)

The gain has been determined after the final payments of certain liabilities have been settled.

 

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized $4,739 and $10,092, respectively, of interest income due to purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot. Included in the $4,739 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, is $1,302 of normal accretion and $3,268 of accelerated accretion resulting from the recapitalization of our loans to Arrowhead and Copernicus. Included in the $10,092 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, is $3,979 of normal accretion, $1,285 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Impact Products, LLC (“Impact Products”) and $4,828 of accelerated accretion resulting from the recapitalization of our debt investments in Arrowhead, Copernicus and Northwestern Management Services, LLC (“Northwestern”). The restructured loans for Arrowhead, Copernicus and Northwestern were issued at market terms comparable other industry transactions. In accordance with ASC 320-20-35 the cost basis of the new loan was recorded at par value, which precipitated the acceleration of original purchase discount from the loan repayment which was recognized as interest income.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, we recognized $9,133 and $14,454, respectively, of interest income due to purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot. Included in the $9,133 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, is $2,231 of normal accretion and $6,902 of accelerated accretion resulting from the

restructuring of our loans to Aircraft Fasteners International, LLC (“AFI”), Prince Mineral Company, Inc. (“Prince”) and R-O-M Corporation (“ROM”). The revised terms were more favorable than the original terms and increased the present value of the future cash flows. In accordance with ASC 320-20-35 the cost basis of the new loans were recorded at par value, which precipitated the acceleration of original purchase discount from the loan repayment which was recognized as interest income. Included in the $14,454 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, is $2,992 of normal accretion and $11,462 of accelerated accretion resulting from the early repayments of three loans, three revolving lines of credit, the sale of one investment position and the restructuring of our loans to AFI, Prince and ROM.

 

Investment Holdings

 

As of March 31, 2011, we continue to pursue our investment strategy. Despite our name change to “Prospect Capital Corporation” and the termination of our policy to invest at least 80% of our net assets in energy companies in May 2007, we currently have a concentration of investments in companies in the energy and energy related industries. Some of the companies in which we invest have relatively short or no operating histories. These companies are and will be subject to all of the business risk and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including the risk that these companies may not reach their investment objective or the value of our investment in them may decline substantially or fall to zero.

 

At March 31, 2011, approximately $1,213,517 or 132.9% of our net assets was invested in 64 long-term portfolio investments and 10.4% of our net assets invested in money market funds.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we originated $641,036 of new investments. Our origination efforts recently have focused primarily on secured lending and reducing the risk in the portfolio, including a higher percentage of first lien loans than in prior peiods, though we also continue to close selected junior debt and equity investments. In addition to targeting investments senior in corporate capital structures with our new originations, we have also increased our origination business mix of third party private equity sponsor owned companies, which tend to have more third party equity capital supporting our debt investments than non sponsor transactions.  Our portfolio’s annualized current yield decreased from 14.6% as of March 31, 2010 to 12.9% as of March 31, 2011across all long-term debt and certain equity investments . We expect Prospect’s current asset yield may decline modestly over the next few quarters as we increase the size of the portfolio while reducing credit risk. Monetization of other equity positions that we hold is not included in this yield calculation. In many of our portfolio companies, we hold equity positions, ranging from minority interests to majority stakes, which we expect over time to contribute to our investment returns. Some of these equity positions include features such as contractual minimum internal rates of returns, preferred distributions, flip structures and other features expected to generate additional investment returns, as well as contractual protections and preferences over junior equity, in addition to the yield and security offered by our cash flow and collateral debt protections.

 

We classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, control investments are those where there is the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, a beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the voting securities of an investee company. Affiliated investments and affiliated companies are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through the possession outright or via the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person.

 

As of March 31, 2011, we own controlling interests in AIRMALL USA, Inc. (“AIRMALL”), Ajax Rolled Ring & Machine, Inc. (“Ajax”), AWCNC, LLC, Borga, Inc., C&J Cladding, LLC (“C&J”), Change Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (“CCEHI”), Fischbein, Freedom Marine Services LLC (“Freedom Marine”), Gas Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“GSHI”), Integrated Contract Services, Inc. (“ICS”), Iron Horse Coiled Tubing, Inc. (“Iron Horse”), Manx Energy, Inc. (“Manx”), NRG Manufacturing, Inc. (“NRG”), Nupla Corporation (“Nupla”), R-V Industries (“R-V”), Inc. and Yatesville Coal Holdings, Inc. (“Yatesville”). We also own an affiliated interest in Biotronic NeuroNetwork (“Biotronic”), Boxercraft Incorporated (“Boxercraft”), Smart, LLC, and Sport Helmets Holdings, LLC (“Sport Helmets”).

sold our 2,500 shares of EXL common stock.

Included in the $10,092 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, is $3,979 of normal accretion, $1,116 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Impact Products, and $4,828 of accelerated accretion resulting from the recapitalization of our debt investments in Arrowhead, Copernicus and Northwestern. The restructured loans for Arrowhead, Copernicus and Northwestern were issued at market terms comparable other industry transactions. In accordance with ASC 320-20-35 the cost basis of the new loan was recorded at par value, which precipitated the acceleration of original purchase discount from the loan repayment which was recognized as interest income. We expect to recognize $1,059 of normal accretion during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Investment Valuation

 

In determining the fair value of our portfolio investments at March 31, 2011, the Audit Committee considered valuations from the independent valuation firm and from management having an aggregate range of $1,195,867 to $1,280,930 excluding money market investments.

 

In determining the range of value for debt instruments, management and the independent valuation firm generally shadow rated the investment and then based upon the range of ratings, determined appropriate yields to maturity for a loan rated as such. A discounted cash flow analysis was then prepared using the appropriate yield to maturity as the discount rate, yielding the ranges. For equity investments, the enterprise value was determined by applying EBITDA multiples for similar recent investment sales. For stressed equity investments, a liquidation analysis was prepared.

 

The Board of Directors looked at several factors in determining where within the range to value the asset including:  recent operating and financial trends for the asset, independent ratings obtained from third parties and comparable multiples for recent sales of companies within the industry. The composite of all these analysis, applied to each investment, was a total valuation of $1,213,517, excluding money market investments.

 

Our portfolio companies are generally lower middle market companies, outside of the financial sector, with less than $50,000 of annual EBITDA. We believe our market has experienced less volatility than others because we believe there are more buy and hold investors who own these less liquid investments.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, there has been a general improvement in the markets in which we operate, and market rates of interest negotiated for middle market loans have decreased.

 

Control investments offer increased risk and reward over straight debt investments. Operating results and changes in market multiples can result in dramatic changes in values from quarter to quarter. Significant downturns in operations can further result in our looking to recoveries on sales of assets rather than the enterprise value of the investment. Several control investments in our portfolio are under enhanced scrutiny by our senior management and our Board of Directors and are discussed below.

 

Ajax Rolled Ring & Machine, Inc.

 

We acquired a controlling equity interest in Ajax in a recapitalization of the company that was closed on April 4, 2008. We funded $22,000 of senior secured term debt, $11,500 of subordinated term debt and $6,300 of equity as of that closing. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, we funded an additional $3,530 of secured subordinated debt to refinance a third-party revolver provider and provide working capital. Ajax repaid $3,461 of this secured subordinated debt during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, we control 77.68% of the fully-diluted common and preferred equity.

 

Ajax forges seamless steel rings sold to various customers. The rings are used in a range of industrial applications, including in construction equipment and wind power turbines. Ajax’s business is cyclical, and the business experienced a significant decline in 2009 in light of the global macroeconomic crisis. Ajax has seen significant improvement in operating results in 2010 with EBITDA increasing over 100% from that generated in 2009.

 

The Board of Directors increased the fair value of our investment in Ajax to $31,500 as of March 31, 2011, a reduction of $10,309 from its amortized cost, compared to the $13,006 unrealized depreciation recorded at June 30, 2010.

 

Change Clean Energy Holdings Inc. and Change Clean Energy, Inc., f/k/a Worcester Energy Partners, Inc.

 

Change Clean Energy, Inc. (“CCEI”) is an investment that we originated in September 2005, which owns and operated a biomass energy plant. In March 2009, CCEI ceased operations, as the business became uneconomic based on the cost of materials and the price being received for the electricity generated. During that quarter, we instituted foreclosure proceedings against the co-borrowers of our debt. In anticipation of such proceedings, CCEHI was established. On March 11, 2009, the foreclosure was completed and the assets were assigned to a wholly owned subsidiary of CCEHI. During the year ended June 30, 2010, we provided additional funding of $296 to CCEHI to fund ongoing operations. CCEI currently has no material operations. At June 30, 2009 we determined that the impairment at both CCEI and CCEHI was other than temporary and recognized a realized loss of $41,134, which was the amount by which the amortized cost exceeded the fair value. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we made a follow-on investment of $156 in CCEHI for professional services related to ongoing litigations and plant security. At March 31, 2011, our Board of Directors, under recommendation from senior management, has set the value of the CCEHI investment with no value, a reduction of $2,540 from its amortized cost after the recognized depreciation.

 

Freedom Marine Services, LLC

 

Freedom Marine is an investment that we initially funded in October 2006. We acquired a controlling interest in the company on October 1, 2009 as part of a broader restructuring of the company and subsequently provided additional funding to support ongoing operations. On February 14, 2011, we provided an additional $479 to Freedom Marine in order to provide needed liquidity and pay current dry docking expenses. As of March 31, 2011, we control 86.78% of the fully-diluted equity.

 

Freedom Marine is an owner-operator of three offshore supply vessels operating out of Houma, Louisiana. The three vessels are leased out to various oil and gas industry participants operating in the Gulf of Mexico. Freedom Marine’s business has been significantly impacted by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Offshore activity levels remain depressed and the company has been EBITDA negative since October 2010.

 

Based upon an analysis of the liquidation value of the vessels and the enterprise value of Freedom Marine, our Board of Directors determined the fair value of our investment in Freedom Marine to be $3,783 at March 31, 2011, a reduction of $7,055 from its amortized cost, compared to the $6,457 unrealized loss recorded at June 30, 2010.

Gas Solutions Holdings, Inc.

 

GSHI is an investment that we completed in September 2004 in which we own 100% of the equity. GSHI is a midstream gathering and processing business located in east Texas. GSHI has improved its operations and experienced an increase in revenue, gross margin, and EBITDA over the past year given the increase in plant volumes and natural gas liquids prices.

 

In February 2010, we hired Robert Bourne as President and CEO of Gas Solutions. Mr. Bourne continues to focus on our upside plant projects and seeking new opportunities to help Gas Solutions grow beyond its existing footprint. On September 30, 2010, we made a follow-on secured debt investment of $4,500 in Gas Solutions to support the acquisition of an additional gathering pipeline system in Texas.

 

In April 2010, Gas Solutions purchased a series of propane puts with strike prices of $1.00 per gallon and $0.95 per gallon covering the periods May 1, 2010, through April 30, 2011, and May 1, 2011, through April 30, 2012, respectively. Gas Solutions hedged approximately 85% of its current exposure to natural gas liquids based on current plant volumes. These hedges will reduce the volatility on earnings associated with lower prices of natural gas liquids without limiting the upside from higher prices, helping GSHI to continue to generate sufficient cash flow to make interest and dividend payments. GSHI has experienced a growth of approximately 34% in revenue and 44% in EBITDA when comparing 2010 results to 2009 results. As GSHI continues to fill the excess capacity at the plant, operating results will continue to improve.

 

In determining the value of GSHI, we have utilized two valuation techniques to determine the value of the investment. Our Board of Directors has determined the value to be $97,596 for our debt and equity positions at March 31, 2011 based upon a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and a public comparables analysis. At March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, GSHI was valued $55,593 above its amortized cost.

 

Integrated Contract Services, Inc.

 

ICS is an investment that we completed in April 2007. Prior to January 2009, ICS owned the assets of ESA Environmental Specialists, Inc. (“ESA”) and 100% of the stock of The Healing Staff (“THS”). ESA originally defaulted under our contract governing our investment in ESA, prompting us to commence foreclosure actions with respect to certain ESA assets in respect of which we have a priority lien. In response to our actions, ESA filed voluntarily for reorganization under the bankruptcy code on August 1, 2007. On September 20, 2007, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved a Section 363 Asset Sale from ESA to us. To complete this transaction, we contributed our ESA debt to a newly-formed entity, ICS, and provided funds for working capital on October 9, 2007. In return for the ESA debt, we received senior secured debt in ICS of equal amount to our ESA debt, preferred stock of ICS, and 49% of the ICS common stock. ICS subsequently ceased operations and assigned the collateral back to us. ICS is in default of both payment and financial covenants. During September and October 2007, we provided $1,170 to THS for working capital.

 

In January 2009, we foreclosed on the real and personal property of ICS. Through this foreclosure process, we gained 100% ownership of THS and certain ESA assets. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we made follow-on secured debt investments of $1,163 in THS to support ongoing operations. THS provides outsourced medical staffing and security staffing services to governmental and commercial enterprises. In 2009, THS was informed that the U.S. Air Force would not exercise its option to renew its contract. THS continues to solicit new contracts to replace the revenue lost when the Air Force contract ended.

 

Based upon an analysis of the liquidation value of the ESA assets and the enterprise value of THS, our Board of Directors determined the fair value of our investment in ICS to be $1,680 at March 31, 2011, a reduction of $16,193 from its amortized cost, compared to the $12,110 unrealized loss recorded at June 30, 2010.

 

Iron Horse Coiled Tubing, Inc.

 

Iron Horse is an investment that we completed in April 2006. Iron Horse had been a provider of coiled tubing subcontractor services prior to making a strategic decision in late 2007 to directly service natural gas and oil producers in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (“WCSB”) as a fracturing services provider. As a result of the business transition, the Company’s 2008 financial performance declined significantly from 2007 levels. Iron Horse completed its transition from a subcontractor to a direct service provider in 2009, but natural gas prices declined to trough levels due to the recession and heightened natural gas inventory levels. Since November 2009, Iron Horse has

experienced increased activity in the WCSB and is now completing wells for a diversified base of large and small producers in the WCSB.

 

Prior to December 31, 2007, we owned 8.5% of the common stock in Iron Horse. On December 31, 2007, we received an additional 50.3% of the common stock in Iron Horse, which increased our total ownership to 58.8%. Through a series of subsequent loans that were used to construct equipment and facilitate the transition from a subcontractor to a direct service provider, we secured an additional 21.0% of the common stock in Iron Horse in September 2008, which increased our total ownership to 79.8% of the common stock in Iron Horse.

 

Effective January 1, 2010, we restructured our senior secured and bridge loans to Iron Horse and we reorganized Iron Horse’s management structure. Our loans were replaced with three new tranches of senior secured debt and our total ownership of Iron Horse decreased to 70.4% on a fully-diluted basis. Our fully-diluted equity ownership will incrementally decrease as debt tranches are repaid. There was no change to fair value at the time of restructuring. In 2010, Iron Horse returned to profitability reporting EBITDA of over $12,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Revenues were up almost 500% from 2009 to 2010 and Iron Horse repaid $2,615 and $2,000 of this senior secured debt during the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively. As Iron Horse has shown an ability to continue to service the interest and principal payments as they come due, we returned Iron Horse to accrual status in December 2010.

 

The Board of Directors increased the fair value of our investment in Iron Horse to $16,963 as of March 31, 2011, a premium of $576 above its amortized cost, compared to the $8,948 unrealized depreciation recorded at June 30, 2010.

 

Manx Energy, Inc.

 

On January 19, 2010, we modified the terms of our senior secured debt in Appalachian Energy Holdings LLC (“AEH”) and Coalbed LLC (“Coalbed”) in conjunction with the formation of Manx, a new entity consisting of the assets of AEH, Coalbed and Kinley Exploration. The assets of the three companies were combined under new common management. We funded $2,800 at closing to Manx to provide for working capital. A portion of our loans to AEH and Coalbed was exchanged for Manx preferred equity, while our AEH equity interest was converted into Manx common stock. There was no change to fair value at the time of restructuring, and we continue to fully reserve any income accrued for Manx. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we made a follow-on secured debt investment of $500 in Manx to support ongoing operations.

 

The Board of Directors wrote-down the fair value of our investment in Manx to $4,679 as of March 31, 2011, a reduction of $14,090 from its amortized cost, compared to the $13,584 unrealized loss recorded at June 30, 2010.

 

Yatesville Coal Holdings, Inc.

 

All of our coal holdings have been consolidated under the Yatesville entity. Yatesville delivered improved operating results after the consolidation of the coal holdings, but the company mined through all of its permitted reserves by December 2008 and has not produced meaningful revenues since then. We continue to evaluate strategies for Yatesville, such as soliciting indications of interest regarding a transaction involving part or all of recoverable reserves. During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, we discontinued operations at Yatesville. At December 31, 2009, our Board of Directors determined that, consistent with the decision to discontinue operations, the impairment of Yatesville was other than temporary, and we recorded a realized loss of $51,228, which was the amount that the amortized cost exceeded the fair value at December 31, 2009. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we made a follow-on investment of $457 in Yatesville for professional services related to ongoing litigations. At March 31, 2011, our Board of Directors, under recommendation from senior management, has set the value of the Yatesville investment with no value, a reduction of $1,435 from its amortized cost after the recognized depreciation.

 

Equity positions in the portfolio are susceptible to potentially significant changes in value, both increases as well as decreases, due to changes in operating results. Five of our portfolio companies have experienced such volatility — C&J, Fischbein, Iron Horse and NRG, with improved operating results and AIRMALL with declining operating results. NRG experienced a meaningful increase in valuation during the three months ended March 31, 2011, due to overall industry stabilization and increased backlog resulting from a new product line. The value of our equity position in NRG has increased to $19,826 as of March 31, 2011, a premium of $17,509 to its amortized cost, compared to the $4,714 unrealized gain recorded at June 30, 2010. Seven of the other controlled investments have continuing challenges and have been valued at discounts to the original investment. Seven of the control investments are valued at premiums to the original investment amounts, including Iron Horse for which our unrealized gain increased by $9,524 during the nine

months ended March 31, 2011 due to improved operating results. Overall, at March 31, 2011, the control investments are valued at $39,470 above their amortized cost.

 

We hold four affiliate investments at March 31, 2011. The affiliate investments reported strong operating results with valuations increasing for three investments — Biotronic, Boxercraft and Sport Helmets. Biotronic experienced the most meaningful increase in valuation. Biotronic completed a significant acquisition in November 2010, which is driving the operating results and the increase in the value of the investment. All affiliate investments are valued at amortized cost or higher. Overall, at March 31, 2011, affiliate investments are valued $14,160 above their amortized cost.

 

With the Non-control/Non-affiliate investments, generally, there is less volatility related to our total investments because our equity positions tend to be smaller than with our control/affiliate investments, and debt investments are generally not as susceptible to large swings in value as equity investments. For debt investments, the fair value is limited on the high side to each loan’s par value, plus any prepayment premia that could be imposed. Many of the debt investments in this category have not experienced a significant change in value, as they were previously valued at or near par value. The exception to this categorization relates to investments which were acquired in the Patriot Acquisition, many of which were acquired at significant discounts to par value, and any changes in operating results or interest rates can have a significant effect on the value of such investments. H&M Oil & Gas, LLC (“H&M”), Shearer’s Food’s, Inc. (“Shearer’s”) and Stryker Energy, LLC (“Stryker”), experienced decreases in valuations due to declines in their operating results. The remaining investments did not experience significant changes in operations or valuation.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized $4,739 and $10,092, respectively, of interest income due to purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot. Included in the $4,739 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, is $1,302 of normal accretion and $3,268 of accelerated accretion resulting from the recapitalization of our loans to Arrowhead Copernicus. Included in the $10,092 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, is $3,979 of normal accretion, $1,116 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Impact Products, and $4,828 of accelerated accretion resulting from the recapitalization of our debt investments in Arrowhead, Copernicus and Northwestern. The restructured loans for Arrowhead, Copernicus and Northwestern were issued at market terms comparable other industry transactions. In accordance with ASC 320-20-35 the cost basis of the new loan was recorded at par value, which precipitated the acceleration of original purchase discount from the loan repayment which was recognized as interest income.

 

Capitalization

 

Our investment activities are capital intensive and the availability and cost of capital is a critical component of our business. We capitalize our business with a combination of debt and equity. Our debt currently consists of a revolving credit facility availing us of the ability to borrow debt subject to borrowing base determinations and Senior Convertible Notes which we issued in December 2010 and February 2011 and our equity capital is currently comprised entirely of common equity. The following table shows the Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Convertible Notes amounts and outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010:

equity. For flexibility, we maintain a universal shelf registration statement that allows for the public offering and sale of our debt securities, common stock, preferred stock and warrants to purchase such securities in an amount up to $750,000 less issuances to date. We may from time to time issue securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement or otherwise pursuant to private offerings. The issuance of debt or equity securities will depend on future market conditions, funding needs and other factors and there can be no assurance that any such issuance will occur or be successful.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

On June 25, 2009, we completed a first closing on an expanded $250,000 syndicated revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The Facility included an accordion feature which allowed the Facility to accept up to an aggregate total of $250,000 of commitments for which we had $210,000 of commitments from six lenders when the Facility was renegotiated. The revolving period of the Facility extended through June 2010, with an additional one year amortization period after the completion of the revolving period.

 

On June 11, 2010, we closed an extension and expansion of our revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders(the “Syndicated Facility”. The lenders have extended current commitments of $325,000 under the Syndicated Facility as detailed in the Recent Developments. The Syndicated Facility includes an accordion feature which allows the facility to be increased to up to $400,000 of commitments in the aggregate to the extent additional or existing lenders commit to increase the commitments. We will seek to add additional lenders in order to reach the maximum size; although no assurance can be given we will be able to do so. As we make additional investments which are eligible to be pledged under the Syndicated Facility, we will generate additional availability to the extent such investments are eligible to be placed into the borrowing base. The revolving period of the Syndicated Facility extends through June 2012, with an additional one year amortization period (with distributions allowed) after the completion of the revolving period. During such one year amortization period, all principal payments on the pledged assets will be applied to reduce the balance. At the end of the one year amortization period, the remaining balance will become due if required by the lenders.

 

As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, we had the ability to borrow up to $207,467 and $180,678, respectively under our Syndicated Facility based on the assets pledged as collateral at that time, of which $47,500 and $100,300 was drawn, respectively. The Syndicated Facility requires us to pledge assets as collateral in order to borrow under the credit facility. At March 31, 2011, the investments used as collateral for the Syndicated Facility had an aggregate market value of $603,759, which represents 66.1% of net assets. Prospect Capital Funding, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, holds $543,159 of these investments at market value as of March 31, 2011. The release of any assets from Prospect Capital Funding, LLC requires the approval of Rabobank as facility agent.

 

The borrowings under the Syndicated Facility bore interest at a rate of one-month Libor plus 250 basis points prior to June 25, 2009, which increased to one-month Libor plus 400 basis points, subject to a minimum Libor floor of 200 basis points for the period from June 26, 2009 to June 10, 2010. Beginning June 11, 2010, interest on borrowings decreased under the Syndicated Facility is one-month Libor plus 325 basis points, subject to a minimum Libor floor of 100 basis points. The maintenance of this facility requires us to pay a fee for the amount not drawn upon. Prior to June 25, 2009, this fee was assessed at the rate of 37.5 basis points per annum of the amount of that unused portion. For the period from June 26, 2010 to June 10, 2010, this rate increased to 100 basis points per annum. After June 11, 2010, the lenders charge a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to either 75 basis points if at least half of the credit facility is used or 100 basis points otherwise.

 

Concurrent with the extension of our Syndicated Facility, in June 2010, we wrote off $759 of the unamortized debt issue costs associated with the original credit facility, in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments.

 

Senior Convertible Notes

 

On December 21, 2010, we issued $150,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 6.25% senior convertible notes due 2015 (“2010 Notes”) for net proceeds following underwriting expenses of approximately $145,200. Interest on the 2010 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, at a rate of 6.25% per year, commencing June 15, 2011. The 2010 Notes mature on December 15, 2015 unless converted earlier. The 2010 Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate and conversion rate at March 31, 2011 of 88.0902 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2010 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $11.352 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The conversion rate for the 2010 Notes will be increased if monthly cash dividends paid to common shares exceed the rate of $0.101125 cents per share, subject to adjustment.

Table of Contents

 

On February 18, 2011, we issued $172,500 in aggregate principal amount of our 5.50% senior convertible notes due 2016 (“2011 Notes”) for net proceeds following underwriting expenses of approximately $167,325. Interest on the 2011 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, at a rate of 5.50% per year, commencing August 15, 2011. The 2011 Notes mature on August 15, 2016 unless converted earlier. The 2011 Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate and conversion rate at March 31, 2011 of 78.3699 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2011 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.76 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The conversion rate for the 2011 Notes will be increased when monthly cash dividends paid to common shares exceed the rate of $0.101150 per share.

 

In no event will the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion exceed 96.8992 and 78.3699 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2010 Notes and 2011 Notes, respectively, (the “conversion rate cap”), except that, to the extent we receive written guidance or a no-action letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Guidance”) permitting us to adjust the conversion rate in certain instances without regard to the conversion rate cap and to make the 2010 Notes and 2011 Notes (collectively, “Senior Convertible Notes”) convertible into certain reference property in accordance with certain reclassifications, business combinations, asset sales and corporate events by us without regard to the conversion rate cap, we will make such adjustments without regard to the conversion rate cap and will also, to the extent that we make any such adjustment without regard to the conversion rate cap pursuant to the Guidance, adjust the conversion rate cap accordingly. We will use our commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Guidance as promptly as practicable.

 

Prior to obtaining the Guidance, we will not engage in certain transactions that would result in an adjustment to the conversion rate increasing the conversion rate beyond what it would have been in the absence of such transaction unless we have engaged in a reverse stock split or share combination transaction such that in our reasonable best estimation, the conversion rate following the adjustment for such transaction will not be any closer to the conversion rate cap than it would have been in the absence of such transaction.

 

Upon conversion, unless a holder converts after a record date for an interest payment but prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the holder will receive a separate cash payment with respect to the Notes surrendered for conversion representing accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including the conversion date. Any such payment will be made on the settlement date applicable to the relevant conversion on the Senior Convertible Notes.

 

No holder of Senior Convertible Notes will be entitled to receive shares of our common stock upon conversion to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt would cause such converting holder to become, directly or indirectly, a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of more than 5.0% of the shares of our common stock outstanding at such time. The 5.0% limitation shall no longer apply following the effective date of any fundamental change. We will not issue any shares in connection with the conversion or redemption of the Notes which would equal or exceed 20% of the shares outstanding at the time of the transaction in accordance with NASDAQ rules.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, holders may require us to repurchase, for cash, all or part of their Notes upon a fundamental change at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, upon a fundamental change that constitutes a non-stock change of control we will also pay holders an amount in cash equal to the present value of all remaining interest payments (without duplication of the foregoing amounts) on such Senior Convertible Notes through and including the maturity date.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Convertible Notes, we incurred $10,536 of fees which are being amortized over the term of the facility in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, of which $10,226 remains to be amortized.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded $3,688 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs as interest expense.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we raised $177,593 of additional equity, net of offering costs, by issuing 18,494,476 shares of our common stock below net asset value diluting shareholder value by $0.15 per share. The following table shows the calculation of net asset value per share as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010:

Results of Operations

 

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $33,759 and $25,940, respectively, representing $0.38 and $0.41 per weighted average share, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we experienced net unrealized and realized gains of $9,803 or approximately $0.11 per weighted average share primarily from significant write-ups of our investments in Biotronic, NRG and Sport Helmets, and our sale of Miller common stock for which we realized a gain of $2,561. These instances of appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation in AIRMALL, Copernicus and Shearer’s. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we experienced net unrealized and realized losses of $6,966 or approximately $0.11 per weighted average share due primarily to write-ups of our investments in GSHI, Prince and Miller, partially offset by unrealized depreciation of our investments in NRG and Freedom Marine.

 

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $91,279 and $5,042, respectively, representing $1.11 and $0.09 per weighted average share, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we experienced net unrealized and realized gains of $27,248 or approximately $0.34 per weighted average share primarily from significant write-ups of our investments in Ajax, Biotronic, Fischbein, Iron Horse, NRG, Nupla and Sport Helmets, and our sale of Miller common stock for which we realized a gain of $7,976. These instances of unrealized appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation in H&M, ICS, Shearer’s and Stryker. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we experienced net unrealized and realized losses of $45,508 or approximately $0.80 per weighted average share due primarily due to the impairment of Yatesville (See Investment Valuations for further discussion.). The $51,228 realized loss for Yatesville was partially offset by write-ups of our investments in Ajax, Freedom Marine, H&M, Manx, NRG, and R-V.

 

While we seek to maximize gains and minimize losses, our investments in portfolio companies can expose our capital to risks greater than those we may anticipate as these companies are typically not issuing securities rated investment grade, have limited resources, have limited operating history, are generally private companies with limited operating information available and are likely to depend on a small core of management talents. Changes in any of these factors can have a significant impact on the value of the portfolio company.

 

Investment Income

 

We generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt securities that we own, dividend income on any common or preferred stock that we own, and amortized loan origination fees on the structuring of new deals. Our investments, if in the form of debt securities, will typically have a term of one to ten years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. To the extent achievable, we will seek to collateralize our investments by obtaining security interests in our portfolio companies’ assets. We also may acquire minority or majority equity interests in our portfolio companies, which may pay cash or in-kind dividends on a recurring or otherwise negotiated basis. In addition, we may generate revenue in other forms including prepayment penalties and possibly consulting fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments are recognized as earned.

 

Investment income, which consists of interest income, including accretion of loan origination fees and prepayment penalty fees, dividend income and other income, including settlement of net profits interests, overriding royalty interests and structuring fees, was $44,573 and $32,005 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Investment income was $113,085 and $85,323 for the nine months ended, March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, the primary driver of the increase in investment income is the deployment of additional capital in revenue-producing assets through increased origination, for which we recognized an increase of $5,721 and $11,383, respectively, in structuring fee income, and $9,896 and $34,135, respectively, in cash and payment-in-kind interest income. This $9,896 and $34,135 of interest income excludes purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot and is the result of a larger income producing investment portfolio. For the respective three-month period ended March 31, 2011, these increases were partially offset by a $4,394 decrease in purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot recognized as interest income. For the respective nine-month period ended March 31, 2011, these increases were partially offset by a $5,950 decline in dividend income from GSHI and a decline in income from the Patriot acquisition, for which we recognized a gain of

Average interest income producing assets have increased from $676,780 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $1,059,124 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The average yield on interest bearing assets decreased from 16.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 13.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Average interest income producing assets have increased from $579,835 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $936,302 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The average yield on interest bearing assets decreased from 14.09% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to 12.93% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. These decreases are primarily due to  our origination efforts being focused on secured lending, including a higher percentage of first lien loans than in prior periods, which generally earn interest at lower interest rates than second lien loans with more risk. The fair market value of senior secured loans as a percentage of our total portfolio has increased to 49.8% from 39.6% as of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. The decrease in annualized returns is also attributed to changes in the accelerated accretion on the assets acquired in the Patriot acquisition, for which we recognized $5,350 and $3,465 less accelerated purchase discount accretion during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, primarily due to incremental repayments and restructurings in 2010 when compared to those in 2011, the most significant of which were AFI, Prince and ROM.

 

Investment income is also generated from dividends and other income. Dividend income has increased from $2,301 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $2,763 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This $462 increase is primarily due to the increased dividends received from our investments in GSHI and NRG. We received dividends from GSHI of $2,500 and $2,300 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. We received a dividend from NRG of $200 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. No dividend was received from NRG during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Dividend income decreased from $12,689 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $8,328 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in dividend income is primarily attributable to a decrease in the level of dividends received from our investment in GSHI. We received dividends from GSHI of $6,350 and $12,300 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The decrease in dividends from GSHI is primarily the a consequence of GSHI distributing dividends in excess of their current earnings in 2009, as GSHI had accumulated excess earnings and profits available for distribution. GSHI remains profitable and has increased its EBITDA in 2010 in comparison with 2009. We anticipate that GSHI may be able to increase its dividends in the future as the result of organic growth and add-on acquisitions. This decrease was partially offset by $1,507 of dividends received from American Gilsonite and Northwestern during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. No dividend was received from American Gilsonite or Northwestern during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

 

Other income has come primarily from structuring fees, overriding royalty interests, and settlement of net profits interests. Income from other sources increased from $1,757 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $7,306 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This $5,549 increase is primarily due to $7,190 of structuring fees recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily from the Arrowhead, CAS, Clearwater, Progressive, Progrexion, Safe-Guard and Stauberoriginations. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 we recognized $1,440 of structuring fees, of which $1,235 was recognized as a result of our follow-on debt investments in H&M and Shearer’s. Comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to the nine months ended March 31, 2011, other income, excluding the $8,632 gain on the Patriot acquisition, increased from $2,681 to $13,970. This $11,289 increase is due to $12,865 of structuring fees recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 primarily related to AIRMALL, Arrowhead, CAS, Progrexion, Progressive, Royal and Safe-Guard.

Operating Expenses

 

Our primary operating expenses consist of investment advisory fees (base management and income incentive fees), borrowing costs, legal and professional fees and other operating and overhead-related expenses. These expenses include our allocable portion of overhead under the Administration Agreement with Prospect Administration under which Prospect Administration provides administrative services and facilities for us. Our investment advisory fees compensate our Investment Adviser for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions in accordance with our Administration Agreement with Prospect Administration. Operating expenses were $20,617 and $13,031 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Operating expenses were $49,054 and $34,773 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

 

The base investment advisory expenses were $6,037 and $3,576 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The base investment advisory expenses were $15,216 and $9,961 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. This increase is directly related to our growth in total assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, we incurred $5,997 and $4,744, respectively, of income incentive fees. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, we incurred $16,015 and $12,640, respectively, of income incentive fees. The $3,375 increase in the income incentive fee for the respective nine-month period is driven by an increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income from $63,190 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $80,046 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to an increase in interest income from a larger asset base. No capital gains incentive fee has yet been incurred pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, we incurred $5,660 and $10,182, respectively, of expenses related to our Syndicated Facility and Senior Convertible Notes. This compares with expenses of $2,111 and $5,480 incurred during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. These expenses are related directly to the leveraging capacity put into place for each of those periods and the levels of indebtedness actually undertaken during those quarters. The table below describes the various expenses of our Syndicated Facility and Senior Convertible Notes and the related indicators of leveraging capacity and indebtedness during these periods.

The decrease in our interest rate from 2009 to 2010 is primarily the result of the closing of our current facility on June 11, 2010. At that time, the borrowing rate and Libor floor decreased by 75 basis points and 100 basis points, respectively. The higher interest rate during the three months ended March 31, 2011 versus the nine months then ended reflects the issuance of Senior Convertible Notes on December 21, 2010 and February 28, 2011.

 

As our asset base has grown and we have added complexity to our capital raising activities, due, in part, to our assumption of the sub-administration role from Vastardis, we have commensurately increased the size of our administrative and financial staff, accounting for a significant increase in the overhead allocation from Prospect Administration. Over the last year, Prospect Administration has increased staffing levels along with the costs passed through. The allocation of overhead expense from Prospect Administration increased from $840 and $2,520 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, to $1,669 and $3,309 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. As our portfolio continues to grow, we expect to further increase the size of our administrative and financial staff on a basis that provides increasing returns to scale. However, initial investments in administrative and financial staff may not provide returns to scale immediately, perhaps not until the portfolio increases to a greater size.

Other allocated expenses from Prospect Administration will continue to increase along with the increase in staffing and asset base.

 

Total operating expenses, net of investment advisory fees, interest costs and allocation of overhead from Prospect Administration (“Other Operating Expenses”), were $1,254 and $1,760 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This $506 decrease is primarily the result of costs incurred in connection with merger discussions with Allied Capital Corporation expensed in the 2010 period offset by higher costs for legal and administrative expenses incurred in the 2011 period due to the increased size of our portfolio. Other Operating Expenses were $4,332 and $4,172 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Net Investment Income, Net Realized Gains, Increase in Net Assets from Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) and Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

 

Net investment income represents the difference between investment income and operating expenses. Our net investment income (“NII”) was $23,956 and $18,974 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively, or $0.27 per share and $0.30 per share, respectively. Our NII was $64,031 and $50,550 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively, or $0.78 per share and $0.89 per share, respectively. The primary source of the higher NII per share in 2010 for the respective nine-month period is our recognition of a gain on the Patriot acquisition of $8,632 in December 2009. Net realized gains (losses) were $2,078 and ($2) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Net realized gains (losses) were $7,094 and ($51,231) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. The net realized gain for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was due primarily to the sale of our common stock in Miller. The net realized loss of $51,231 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was due primarily to the impairment of Yatesville. See Investment Valuations for further discussion.

 

Net increase in net assets from changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was $7,725 and $6,968 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the $7,725 increase in net assets from the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was driven by significant write-ups of approximately $17,982 related to our investments in Biotronic, NRG and Sport Helmets. These instances of unrealized appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation of approximately $10,536 related to our investments in AIRMALL, Copernicus and Shearer’s. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the $6,968 increase in net assets from the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was driven primarily by write-ups of approximately $16,162 related to our investments in GSHI, Prince and Miller, partially offset by unrealized depreciation of approximately $9,578 related to our investments in NRG and Freedom Marine.

 

Net increase in net assets from changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was $20,154 and $5,723 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the $20,154 increase in net assets from the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was driven by significant write-ups of approximately $39,561 related to our investments in Ajax, Biotronic, Fischbein, Iron Horse, NRG, Nupla and Sport Helmets. These instances of unrealized appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation of approximately $18,292 related to our investments in H&M, ICS, Shearer’s and Stryker. The $5,723 increase occurring during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to unrealized depreciation of approximately $52,085 related to our investments in Ajax, Freedom Marine, H&M, Manx, NRG, and R-V partially offset by the impairment of our investment in Yatesville of $51,228.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, our operating activities (used) provided ($368,400) and $142,132 of cash, respectively. Investing activities used $106,586 of cash during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Financing activities provided (used) $369,714 and ($24,239) of cash during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which included the payments of dividends of $65,345 and $59,467, during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

 

Our primary uses of funds have been to continue to invest in our investments in portfolio companies, to add new companies to our investment portfolio, to acquire Patriot, to repay outstanding borrowings and to make cash distributions to holders of our common stock.

 

We have and expect to continue to fund a portion of our cash needs through borrowings from banks, issuances of senior securities or secondary offerings. We may also securitize a portion of our investments in mezzanine or senior secured

loans or other assets. Our objective is to put in place such borrowings in order to enable us to expand our portfolio. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we borrowed $259,100 and made repayments totaling $311,900 under our revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2011, we had $47,500 outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility and $322,500 outstanding on our Senior Convertible notes (See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.)

 

On March 16, 2011, our Registration Statement on Form N-2 was declared effective by the SEC. Under this Shelf Registration Statement, we can issue up to $750,000 of additional equity securities as of March 31, 2011.

 

We also continue to generate liquidity through public and private stock offerings. On July 7, 2009 we completed a public stock offering for 5,175,000 shares of our common stock at $9.00 per share, raising $46,575 of gross proceeds. On August 20, 2009 and September 24, 2009, we issued 3,449,686 shares and 2,807,111 shares, respectively, of our common stock at $8.50 and $9.00 per share, respectively, in private stock offerings, raising $29,322, and $25,264 of gross proceeds, respectively. Concurrent with the sale of these shares, we entered into a registration rights agreement in which we granted the purchasers certain registration rights with respect to the shares. Under the terms and conditions of the registration rights agreement, we filed with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement on Form N-2 on November 6, 2009. Such amendment was declared effective by the SEC on November 9, 2009.

 

On March 17, 2010, we established an at-the-market program through which we sold shares of our common stock. An at-the-market offering is a registered offering by a publicly traded issuer of its listed equity securities selling shares directly into the market at market prices. We engaged two broker-dealers to act as agents and sell our common stock directly into the market over a period of time. We paid a 2% commission to the broker-dealer on shares sold. Through this program we issued 8,000,000 shares of our common stock at an average price of $10.90 per share, raising $87,177 of gross proceeds, from March 23, 2010 through July 21, 2010.

 

On July 19, 2010, we established a second at-the-market program, as we had sold all the shares authorized in the original at-the-market program. We engaged three broker-dealers to act as potential agents and sell our common stock directly into the market over a period of time. We paid a 2% commission to the broker-dealer on shares sold. Through this program we issued 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.73 per share, raising $58,403 of gross proceeds, from July 22, 2010 through September 28, 2010.

 

On September 24, 2010, we established a third at-the-market program, as we had sold all the shares authorized in the preceding programs, through which we may sell, from time to time and at our discretion, 6,000,000 shares of our common stock. We engaged three broker-dealers to act as potential agents and sell our common stock directly into the market over a period of time. We currently pay a 2% commission to the broker-dealer on shares sold. Through this program we issued 5,231,956 shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.86 per share, raising $51,597 of gross proceeds, from September 29, 2010 through November 3, 2010.

 

On November 10, 2010, we established a fourth at-the-market program, as we had sold all the shares authorized in the preceding programs, through which we may sell, from time to time and at our discretion, 9,750,000 shares of our common stock. We engaged three broker-dealers to act as potential agents and sell our common stock directly into the market over a period of time. We currently pay a 2% commission to the broker-dealer on shares sold. Through this program we issued 4,513,920 shares of our common stock at an average price of $10.00 per share, raising $45,147 of gross proceeds, from November 16, 2010 through December 15, 2010.

 

Our Board of Directors, pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law, executed Articles of Amendment to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 in the aggregate. The amendment became effective August 31, 2010.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At March 31, 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet liabilities or other contractual obligations that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, other than those which originate from 1) the investment advisory and management agreement and the administration agreement and 2) the portfolio companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and equity price risk. At March 31, 2011, most of the loans in our portfolio bore interest at fixed interest rates. Several of our floating rate loans have floors which have effectively converted the loans to fixed rate loans in the current interest rate environment. As of March 31, 2011, $776,521 of our loans bear interest at floating rates, $766,855 of which have Libor floors ranging from 1.00% to 6.00%.

 

If we continue to invest in fixed rate loans, we may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. 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 portfolio of investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure of any material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to intellectual property, employment, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of such of these matters as may arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We are not aware of any such litigation as of March 31, 2011.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our most recent 10-K filing.
