PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Prospect Capital Corporation (“Prospect Capital” or the “Company”), formerly known as Prospect Energy Corporation, a Maryland corporation, was organized on April 13, 2004 and is 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 (the “1940 Act”). On July 27, 2004, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and sold 7,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $15.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions totaling $1.05 per share. Since the IPO, the Company has had an exercise of an over-allotment option with respect to the IPO on August 27, 2004, a public offering on August 10, 2006, and subsequent exercise of an over-allotment option on August 28, 2006. On December 13, 2006, the Company priced a public offering of 6,000,000 shares of common stock at $17.70 per share, raising $106,200 in gross proceeds as well as an additional 810,000 shares of common stock at $17.315 per share raising $14,025 in gross proceeds in the exercise of an over-allotment option on January 11, 2007. On May 15, 2007, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Prospect Capital Funding, LLC, a Delaware corporation, for the purpose of holding certain of the Company’s portfolio of loan investments which are used as collateral for its credit facility.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

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, creditworthiness of our portfolio companies and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.

The statements include portfolio investments at fair value of $352,257 and $328,222 at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively. At September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, 116.6% and 109.4%, respectively, of the Company’s net assets represented portfolio investments whose fair values have been determined by the Board of Directors in good faith in the absence of readily available market values. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the Board of Directors’ determined values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the differences could be material.

Interim financial statements, which are not audited, are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X, as appropriate.

The following are significant accounting policies consistently applied by Prospect Capital:

Investments:

a) Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis.

b) Valuation:

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

2) Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less, such as United States Treasury Bills, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term securities that mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations by an independent pricing service or at the mean between the bid

21


and ask prices obtained from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, or otherwise by a principal market maker or a primary market dealer). Investments in money market mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of business on the day of valuation.

3) It is expected that most of the investments in the Company’s portfolio will not have readily available market values. Debt and equity securities whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value, with the assistance of an independent valuation service, using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process that is under the direction of our Board of Directors. The factors that may be taken into account in fairly valuing investments include, as relevant, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its estimated earnings and projected discounted cash flows, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the sensitivity of the investments to fluctuations in interest rates, the financial environment in which the portfolio company operates, comparisons to securities of similar publicly traded companies and other relevant factors. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of these investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments, and any such differences could be material.

4) The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has recently issued a new pronouncement addressing fair value measurements, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements. Therefore, its first applicability to the Company will be on July 1, 2008.

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

d) 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.

e) Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

f) Structuring fees and similar fees are recognized as income as earned. Structuring fees, excess deal deposits, net profits interests, overriding royalty interests, administrative agent fees and forbearance fees are included in other income.

g) Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. 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 September 30, 2007, less than 0.1% of the Company’s net assets are in non-accrual status.

Federal and State Income Taxes:

Prospect Capital has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company and intends 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.

22


If the Company does not distribute (or is not deemed to have distributed) at least 98% of its annual taxable income in the year earned, the Company will generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of the Company’s annual taxable income exceeds the distributions from such taxable income for the year. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company accrues 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.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (‘‘FIN 48’’), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s 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 FIN 48 was applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have an effect on the net asset value, financial condition or results of operations of the Company as there was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no change to the beginning net asset value of the Company. As of and during the period ended September 30, 2007, the Company did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Management’s determinations regarding FIN 48 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 dividend is approved by the Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon management’s estimate of our earnings for the quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

Consolidation:

As an investment company, Prospect Capital only consolidates subsidiaries that are also investment companies. At September 30, 2007, the financial statements include the accounts of Prospect Capital and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Prospect Capital Funding, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Financing Costs:

The Company records origination expenses related to its credit facility as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the stated life of the facility.

The Company records registration expenses related to shelf filings as prepaid assets. These expenses consist principally of SEC registration, legal and accounting fees incurred through September 30, 2007 that are related to the shelf filings that will be charged to capital upon the receipt of the capital or charged to expense if not completed.

Guarantees and Indemnification Agreements:

The Company follows FASB Interpretation Number 45, “Guarantor’s” Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 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 FIN 45, the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing certain guarantees. FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the financial statements. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion of guarantees and indemnification agreements.

Per Share Information:

Basic earnings per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented.

Note 3. Portfolio Investments

At September 30, 2007, 116.6% of our net assets or about $352,257 was invested in 27 long-term portfolio investments (including a net profits interest in Charlevoix Energy Trading LLC) and 3.8% of our net assets was invested in money market funds. The remainder (20.4%) of our net assets represented liabilities in excess of other assets. At June 30, 2007, 109.4% of our net assets or about $328,222 was invested in 24 long-term portfolio investments including a net profits interest in Charlevoix Energy Trading LLC) and 13.9% of our net assets was invested in money market funds. The remainder (23.3%) of our net assets represented liabilities in excess of other assets. Prospect Capital is 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 owns more than 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 ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person. The Company owns a controlling interest in Advantage Oilfield Group, Ltd. (“AOG”), Gas Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“GSHI”), Genesis Coal Corp. (“Genesis”), NRG Manufacturing, Inc. (“NRG”), R-V Industries, Inc. (R-V), Whymore Coal Company (“Whymore”) and Worcester Energy Company, Inc. (“WECO”). The Company also owns an affiliated interest in Appalachian Energy Holdings, LLC (“AEH”) and Iron Horse Coiled Tubing, Inc. (“Iron Horse”). The Company has no other controlled or affiliated investments.

GSHI has indemnified Prospect Capital against any legal action arising from its investment in Gas Solutions, LP. Prospect Capital has incurred approximately $1,807 in fees associated with a legal action through September 30, 2007, and GSHI has reimbursed Prospect Capital the entire amount. Of the $1,807 reimbursement, $10 and $377 is reflected as Dividend income: Control Investments on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively,

Debt placements and interests in non-voting equity securities with an original cost basis of approximately $40,394 were acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2007. Debt repayments and sales of equity securities with an original cost basis of approximately $17,949 were disposed during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

From time to time, the Company provides guarantees for portfolio companies for payments to counterparties, usually as an alternative to investing additional capital. Currently, guarantees are outstanding only for three portfolio companies categorized as Control Investments, which are not deemed by management to be material individually or in the aggregate.

Note 4. Organizational and Offering Expenses

A portion of the net proceeds of our initial public offering on July 27, 2004 and the subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option on August 27, 2004 was used for organizational and offering expenses of approximately $125 and $1,393, respectively. Organizational expenses were expensed as incurred. Offering expenses were charged against paid-in capital in excess of par. All organizational and offering expenses were borne by Prospect Capital.

A portion of the net proceeds of our August 13, 2006 secondary offering and the subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option on August 28, 2006 was used for offering expenses of approximately $594. A portion of the net proceeds of our December 13, 2006 secondary offering and the subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option on January 11, 2007 was used for offering expenses of approximately $273. Offering expenses were charged against paid-in capital in excess of par. All offering expenses were borne by Prospect Capital.

Note 5. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement

Prospect Capital has entered into an investment advisory and management agreement with Prospect Management (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) under which the Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of Prospect Capital’s Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, Prospect Capital. 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

24


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 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 Prospect Capital, 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 Prospect Capital’s 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 Prospect Capital’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters (the closing of Prospect Capital’s initial public offering was treated as a quarter end for these purposes) and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. The total base management fees earned by Prospect Management during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 were $1,866 and $616, respectively.

The incentive fee has two parts. The first part, the income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on Prospect Capital’s 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 Prospect Capital receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus Prospect Capital’s 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 Prospect Capital’s 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 investment adviser had also voluntarily agreed that, in the event it is paid an incentive fee at a time when our common stock is trading at a price below $15 per share for the immediately preceding 30 days (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and other transactions), it will cause the amount of such incentive fee payment to be held in an escrow account by an independent third party, subject to applicable regulations. The Investment Adviser had further agreed that this amount may not be drawn upon by the Investment Adviser or any affiliate or any other third party until such time as the price of our common stock achieves an average 30 day closing price of at least $15 per share. The Investment Adviser had also voluntarily agreed to cause 30% of any incentive fee that it is paid and that is not otherwise held in escrow to be invested in shares of our common stock through an independent trustee. Any sales of such stock were to comply with any applicable six month holding period under Section 16(b) of the Securities Act and all other restrictions contained in any law or regulation, to the fullest extent applicable to any such sale. These two voluntary agreements by the Investment Adviser have been terminated by the Investment Adviser for all incentive fees after December 31, 2007.

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. Prospect Capital pays the Investment Adviser an income incentive fee with respect to Prospect Capital’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

  • no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which Prospect Capital’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;
     
  • 100.00% of Prospect Capital’s 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 Prospect Capital’s 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).

25


These calculations are appropriately pro rated 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 Prospect Capital’s 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, Prospect Capital calculates the aggregate realized capital gains, aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, as applicable, with respect to each of the investments in its portfolio. For this purpose, aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of the differences between the net sales price of each investment, when sold, and the original cost of such investment since inception. Aggregate realized capital losses equal the sum of the amounts by which the net sales price of each investment, when sold, is less than the original cost of such investment since inception. Aggregate unrealized capital depreciation equals the sum of the difference, if negative, between the valuation of each investment as of the applicable date and the original cost of such investment. At the end of the applicable period, the amount of capital gains that serves as the basis for Prospect Capital’s calculation of the capital gains incentive fee equals the aggregate realized capital gains less aggregate realized capital losses and less aggregate unrealized capital depreciation with respect to its portfolio of investments. If this number is positive at the end of such period, then the capital gains incentive fee for such period is equal to 20.00% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid in respect of its portfolio in all prior periods.

The total income incentive fees earned by Prospect Management during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 were $1,966 and $818, respectively. No capital gains incentive fees were earned were earned during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

Administration Agreement

Prospect Capital has 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 Prospect Capital. For providing these services, Prospect Capital reimburses Prospect Administration for Prospect Capital’s 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 their respective staffs. 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 Prospect Capital 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 Prospect Capital.

Prospect Administration, pursuant to the approval of our Board of Directors, has engaged Vastardis Fund Services LLC (“Vastardis”) to serve as the sub-administrator of Prospect Capital to perform certain services required of Prospect Administration. This engagement began in May 2005 and ran on a month-to-month basis at the rate of $25 annually, payable monthly. Under the sub-administration agreement, Vastardis provides Prospect Capital with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities. Vastardis also

26


conducts 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. Vastardis provides reports to the Administrator and the Directors of its performance of obligations and furnishes advice and recommendations with respect to such other aspects of the business and affairs of Prospect Capital as it shall determine to be desirable. Under the revised and renewed sub-administration agreement, Vastardis also provides the service of William E. Vastardis as the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Fund. This service was formerly provided at the rate of $225 annually, payable monthly. In May 2006, the engagement was revised and renewed as an asset-based fee on a sliding scale starting at 0.20% on the first $250,000 in gross assets and ending at 0.05% on gross assets over $1,000,000 with a $400 annual minimum, payable monthly. Vastardis does not provide any advice or recommendation relating to the securities and other assets that Prospect Capital should purchase, retain or sell or any other investment advisory services to Prospect Capital. Vastardis is responsible for the financial and other records that either Prospect Capital (or the Administrator on behalf of Prospect Capital) is required to maintain and prepares reports to stockholders, and reports and other materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, Vastardis assists Prospect Capital in determining and publishing Prospect Capital’s net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of Prospect Capital’s tax returns, and the printing and dissemination of reports to stockholders of Prospect Capital, and generally overseeing the payment of Prospect Capital’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to Prospect Capital by others.

Under the sub-administration agreement, Vastardis and its officers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members, and any other person or entity affiliated with Vastardis, are not liable to the Administrator or Prospect Capital for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Vastardis in connection with the performance of any of its duties or obligations or otherwise as sub-administrator for the Administrator on behalf of Prospect Capital. The agreement also provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of Vastardis’ duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of Vastardis’ duties and obligations, Vastardis and its officers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members, and any other person or entity affiliated with Vastardis are entitled to indemnification from the Administrator and Prospect Capital. All damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) incurred in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Administrator or Prospect Capital or the security holders of Prospect Capital) arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance of any of Vastardis’ duties or obligations under the agreement or otherwise as sub-administrator for the Administrator on behalf of Prospect Capital.

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 have received $158 in managerial assistance for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $53 in managerial assistance for the three months ended September 30, 2006. These fees are paid to the Administrator.

Note 8. Litigation

The Company is a defendant in a legal action arising out of its activities. While predicting the outcome of litigation is inherently very difficult, and the ultimate resolution, range of possible loss and possible impact on operating results cannot be reliably estimated, management believes, based upon its understanding of the facts and the advice of legal counsel, that it has a meritorious defense for this action. We continue to defend this action vigorously, and believe that resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

On December 6, 2004, Dallas Gas Partners, L.P. (“DGP”) served Prospect Capital with a complaint filed November 30, 2004 in the U.S. District for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division. DGP alleges that DGP was defrauded and that Prospect Capital breached its fiduciary duty to DGP and tortiously interfered with DGP’s contract to purchase Gas Solutions, Ltd. (a subsidiary of our portfolio company, GSHI) in connection with Prospect Capital’s alleged agreement in September 2004 to loan DGP funds with which DGP intended to buy Gas Solutions, Ltd. for approximately $26,000. The complaint seeks relief not limited to $100,000. We believe that the DGP complaint is frivolous and without merit, and intend to defend the matter vigorously. On November 30, 2005, U.S. Magistrate Judge John R. Froeschner of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division, issued a recommendation that the court grant Prospect Capital’s Motion for Summary Judgment dismissing all claims by DGP. On February 21, 2006, U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division issued an order granting Prospect Capital’s Motion for Summary Judgment dismissing all claims by DGP, against Prospect Capital Corporation. DGP has appealed this decision.

In May 2006, based in part on unfavorable due diligence and the absence of investment committee approval, the Company declined to extend a loan for $10 million to a potential borrower (“plaintiff”). Plaintiff was subsequently sued by its own attorney in a local Texas court for plaintiff's failure to pay fees owed to its attorney. In December 2006, plaintiff filed a cross-action against the Company and certain affiliates (the “defendants”) in the same local Texas court, alleging, among other things, tortious interference with contract and fraud, and seeking in excess of $50 million. Based on a letter agreement between the Company and plaintiff (the "Letter Agreement") which provided, among other things, that any dispute was to be decided at the Company's election by binding arbitration in New York, the Company petitioned the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to compel arbitration and to enjoin the Texas action. In February 2007, the Company's motions were granted. Plaintiff appealed that decision. The arbitration commenced in July and is expected to conclude in late November. The Company believes that the Letter Agreement forecloses any liability and that the plaintiff has suffered zero ($0) damages. The Company believes that most of its legal expenses related to this matter have already been incurred. Although it cannot guarantee any outcome in this arbitration, the Company is vigorously defending against this action and believes that it is without merit. Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, which provides for an award of attorneys' fees to the prevailing party, the Company is seeking full recovery for all attorneys fees, costs and related expenses incurred in this matter.

We are 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.

Note 9. Revolving Credit Agreements

On July 26, 2006, we closed a $50,000 revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with HSH Nordbank AG as administrative agent and sole lead arranger, replacing a pre-existing $30,000 Credit Facility. This Facility was used, together with our equity capital, to make additional long-term investments. Interest on borrowings under the Facility was charged, at our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable spread, ranging from 200 to 250 basis points (the refinanced facility being at 250 basis points over LIBOR), or (ii) the greater of the lender prime rate or the federal funds effective rate plus 50 to 100 basis points. The applicable spread decreases as our equity base increases.

29


On June 6, 2007, Prospect Capital closed on a $200,000 three-year revolving credit facility with Rabobank Nederland as administrative agent and sole lead arranger (the Rabobank Facility). The Rabobank facility refinanced the $50,000 Facility with HSH Nordbank AG. Interest on the Rabobank Facility is charged at LIBOR plus 125 basis points. Additionally, Rabobank charges 37.5 basis points on the unused portion of the facility. At September 30, 2007, the investments used as collateral had an aggregate market value of $246,465, which represents 81.6% of net assets.

As of September 30, 2007, we had $59,962 drawn down on the Rabobank Facility.

Note 10. Subsequent Events

On October 9, 2007, the Company made a second lien debt investment of $9,750 in Resco Products, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of refractory materials based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

On October 11, 2007, the Company priced a public offering of 3,500,000 shares of common stock at $16.34 per share, raising $57,190 in gross proceeds.

On October 17, 2007, the Company made a $3,000 follow-on secured debt investment into NRG, in support of NRG’s acquisition of Dynafab Corporation (“Dynafab”). Dynafab is a manufacturer of a range of metal structures and vessels for use in the oil and gas and transportation industries, including fuel tanks for on-road and off-road vehicles as well as various drilling rig components.

On October 19, 2007, the Company made a second lien debt investment of approximately $5,000 in a leading provider of outsourced technical services based in Pennsylvania. The Company’s debt is supporting the acquisition of the company by HM Capital Partners, L.P. (“HM”), a $1.6 billion private equity fund based in Dallas, Texas. HM’s investment professionals previously were principals with Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst, Inc.

On November 1, 2007, the Company made a second lien secured debt investment, as well as a small equity co-investment, aggregating approximately $14,000 in Maverick Healthcare, Inc. d/b/a Preferred Homecare, a leading comprehensive home healthcare services provider based in Mesa, Arizona.

On November 5, 2007, the Company invested approximately $18,000 in second lien secured financing into Shearer’s Foods, Inc., a snack food manufacturer based in Brewster, Ohio, with Winston Partners as the private equity financial sponsor.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(All figures in this item are in thousands except per share and other data)

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause the results of Prospect Capital Corporation to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any projections of revenue, expenses, earnings or losses from operations or investments, or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. The risks, uncertainties and assumptions referred to above include risks that are described in “Business—Factors That May Affect Future Results” and elsewhere in this report and that are otherwise described from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC,” reports filed after this report.

The forward-looking statements included in this report represent our estimates as of the date of this report. We specifically disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the future.

We use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” “intends” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including the factors set forth in “Risk Factors” in this report. We caution you that forward-looking statements of this type are subject to uncertainties and risks, many of which cannot be predicted or quantified.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Overview

Prospect Capital is a publicly traded mezzanine debt and private equity firm that provides investment capital to micro to middle market companies. 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 proforma cash flows.

The aggregate value of our portfolio investments was $352,257 and $328,222 as of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, our net cost of investments increased by $23,339, or 7.2%, as we invested in 3 new investments, while one of our investments repaid its loan during the quarter.

For the first quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, compared to the first fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, our net assets increased by $110,836 (or 58%). The change in net assets is as a result of an increase of $120,036 of proceeds from the issuance of new shares of our stock and $21,314 from net operations, offset by $30,514 in dividend distributions to our shareholders. Out of the $21,314 from net operations, our investment income accounted for $27,722 reduced by a realized loss on investments of $12 and by $6,396 in change of unrealized depreciation of investments. The decrease in unrealized value was mainly associated with write-downs in our investments in Advantage Oilfield Group, Ltd. (“Advantage”), ESA Environmental Specialists, Inc. (“ESA”), Genesis Coal Corporation (“Genesis”), Unity Virginia Holdings LLC (“Unity”), Whymore Coal Company, Inc. (“Whymore”) and Worcester Energy Company, Inc. (“WECO”). However, there were significant write-ups in our investments in Gas Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“GSHI”) and NRG Manufacturing, Inc. (“NRG”).

We seek to be a long-term investor with our investment companies. As of September 30, 2007, we continue to pursue our investment strategy and 116.6% of our net assets are invested in long-term investments.

To date we have invested primarily in industries related to the industrial/energy economy. However, we continue to widen our strategic focus in other sectors of the economy to diversify our portfolio holdings. This is further evidenced by the change of our corporate name. 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 risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including the risk that these companies may not reach their investments objective or the value of our investments in them may decline substantially or fall to zero.

After a robust global debt market during the earlier part of 2007, beginning in June 2007, signs of strain emerged as fears of increasing defaults in the subprime mortgage lending market caused a broader loss of investor confidence beyond the subprime mortgage lending market and into the corporate leveraged loan and high yield debt markets. Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and hedge funds, in particular, have been a driving force in the excess liquidity that existed in the debt capital markets. The loss of investor confidence in many of these highly leveraged investment vehicles has significantly constrained the market for new CLO issuance, a consequence of limited relevance to our business historically.

Since June, there has been a significant reduction in liquidity in the corporate debt capital markets and several transactions in the high yield and leveraged loan markets have recently been cancelled, postponed, or restructured, enhancing opportunities for us going forward. The extra supply and meaningfully less demand has shifted the dynamics between buyers and sellers and caused several hundred billion dollars of corporate loans and bridge loan commitments to remain on the balance sheets of financial institutions and remain undistributed. We believe that, as of today, this reduction in liquidity has caused increased market volatility in the secondary prices of existing leveraged loans and high yield bonds, driving many leveraged loan and bond market quotes to below the primary market offer price without necessarily reflecting a deterioration, if any, in underlying fundamental performance of many of these issuers. The valuation of securities held within our portfolio has not been materially adversely affected by these events because we have not participated in the syndicated loan market prior to September 2007 to any meaningful extent. If we were to enter into these markets in a meaningful way, we would be able to lend money at higher rates of interest and would be able to purchase loans at greater discounts than prior to the occurrence of these events. In turn, these events also could increase our cost of financing.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or, “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.

Recent Developments

On October 9, 2007, the Company made a second lien debt investment of $9,750 in Resco Products, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of refractory materials based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

On October 11, 2007, the Company priced a public offering of 3,500,000 shares of common stock at $16.34 per share, raising $57,190 in gross proceeds. The Company has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 525,000 shares to cover over-allotments. The use of the expected net proceeds of this offering is to repay outstanding indebtedness, to fund investments in portfolio companies, and for general corporate purposes.

On October 17, 2007, the Company made a $3,000 follow-on secured debt investment into NRG, in support of NRG’s acquisition of Dynafab Corporation (“Dynafab”). Dynafab is a manufacturer of a range of metal structures and vessels for use in the oil and gas and transportation industries, including fuel tanks for on-road and off-road vehicles as well as various drilling rig components.

On October 19, 2007, the Company made a second lien debt investment of approximately $5,000 in a leading provider of outsourced technical services based in Pennsylvania. The Company’s debt is supporting the acquisition of the company by HM Capital Partners, L.P. (“HM”), a $1.6 billion private equity fund based in Dallas, Texas. HM’s investment professionals previously were principals with Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst, Inc.

On November 1, 2007, the Company made a second lien secured debt investment, as well as a small equity co-investment, aggregating approximately $14,000 in Maverick Healthcare, Inc. d/b/a Preferred Homecare, a leading comprehensive home healthcare services provider based in Mesa, Arizona.

On November 5, 2007, the Company invested approximately $18,000 in second lien secured financing into Shearer’s Foods, Inc., a snack food manufacturer based in Brewster, Ohio, with Winston Partners as the private equity financial sponsor.

The following are significant accounting policies consistently applied by Prospect Capital:

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. So we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and they are consistently applied by us:

Investments:

a) Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis.

b) Valuation:

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

2) Short-term investments which mature in 60 days or less, such as United States Treasury Bills, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market quotations by an independent pricing service or at the mean between the bid and ask prices obtained from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, or otherwise by a principal market maker or a primary market dealer). Investments in money market mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the close of business on the day of valuation.

3) It is expected that most of the investments in the Company’s portfolio will not have readily available market values. Debt and equity securities whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value, with the assistance of an independent valuation service, using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process which is under the direction of our Board of Directors.

The factors that may be taken into account in fairly valuing investments include, as relevant, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its estimated earnings and projected discounted cash flows, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the sensitivity of the investments to fluctuations in interest rates, the financial environment in which the portfolio company operates, comparisons to securities of similar publicly traded companies and other relevant factors. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of these investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments, and any such differences could be material.

4) The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has recently issued a new pronouncement addressing fair value measurements, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

d) 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.

e) Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

f) Structuring fees and similar fees are recognized as income as earned. Structuring fees, excess deal deposits, net profits interests, overriding royalty interests, administrative agent fees and forbearance fees are included in other income.

In determining the fair value of our portfolio investments at September 30, 2007, the Audit Committee met on October 25, 2007, and considered valuations from the independent valuation firm and from management having an aggregate range of $340,131 to $359,831.

Our portfolio had an annualized current yield of 15.9% and 16.9% across all our long-term debt and certain equity investments as of September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. This yield includes interest from all of our long-term investments as well as dividends from Gas Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“GSHI”) and NRG Manufacturing, Inc. (“NRG”) as of September 30, 2007 and GSHI as of September 30, 2006. We expect the current yield to decline over time as we increase the size of the portfolio. Monetization of other equity positions that we hold is not included in this yield calculation. In each 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. Many 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. Set forth below are several views of our investment portfolio, classified by type of investment, geographic diversification and sector diversification at September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively:

Results of Operations

Investment Activity

We completed our 14th quarter, which was our 13th full quarter since completion of our initial public offering on July 27, 2004, with approximately 116.6% of our net assets or about $352,257 invested in 27 long-term portfolio investments (including a net profits interest remaining in Charlevoix) and 3.8% of our net assets invested in money market funds. The remaining (20.4%) of our net assets represents liabilities in excess of other assets.

Long-Term Portfolio Investments

During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we completed three new investments and follow on investments in existing portfolio companies, totaling approximately $40,394. Additionally, on August 16, 2007, Arctic Acquisition Corp. (doing business as Cougar Pressure Control) (“Arctic”) completely paid its loan with an additional prepayment penalty of $461 for the loan. The Company will maintain holdings in warrants in Arctic. Including the prepayment premium, the Company realized a 20% cash internal rate of return on this investment, representing 1.25 times cash on cash (not including the equity investments that the Company continues to hold).

On July 31, 2007, Prospect Capital provided $15,000 growth financing to Wind River Resources Corp. and Wind River II Corp., a privately held oil and gas production business based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The investment was in the form of senior secured notes with a net profits interest.

On August 8, 2007, Prospect Capital provided $6,000 growth and recapitalization financing to Deep Down, Inc., a deepwater drilling services and manufacturing provider based in Houston, Texas. The investment was in the form of senior secured notes and warrants.

35


On August 28, 2007, Prospect Capital provided $9,200 growth and recapitalization financing to Diamondback Operating, LP, an oil and gas production company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The investment was in the form of senior secured notes with a net profits interest.

Since inception, here is a quarter-by-quarter summary of the investment activity.

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 owns more than 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 ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person.

As of September 30, 2007, we held a controlling interest in, Advantage Oilfield Group Ltd. (“Advantage”), GSHI, Genesis Coal Company (“Genesis”), NRG, R-V Industries, Inc., Whymore Coal Company, Inc. (“Whymore”) and Worcester Energy Company, Inc. (“WECO”). As of September 30, 2007, we held an affiliated interest in Appalachian Energy Holdings LLC and Iron Horse Coiled Tubing, Inc.

Coal prices had remained soft in Central Appalachia due to mild weather, rail delays and utility inventory builds, but began to firm late in the summer. However, marginal spot prices for coal remained below operating costs for many of the coal producers in that region, including Whymore and Genesis. However, Whymore and Genesis are selling coal under a utility contract at above current spot market prices and both current spot prices and forward prices for coal deliveries in future years have continued to rise. The cost cutting and productivity and revenue enhancing efforts begun at these portfolio companies have intensified. We are also looking at opportunities to take advantage of the current depressed asset pricing environment through acquisitions at favorable prices.

With respect to Unity Virginia Holdings LLC (“Unity”), discussions have been underway between Prospect Capital, the second lien holder, the senior lender Texas Capital, whose exposure has now been reduced to approximately $1,250 and Unity regarding liquidating the last remaining saleable property in the collateral package which consists of land, coal inventory, and the refuse area. According to Unity, the sale of these assets was necessary to the remediation of the mine property, under the supervision of state and federal authorities. The sale yielded $180 to Texas Capital, and a like amount was then applied to the cost of the remediation by the Unity principals. The Company believes that Unity principals would then have to pay off the remaining debt to Texas Capital.

As of the date of this report, loans we have made to ESA Environmental Specialists, Inc. (“ESA”) and Advantage are under enhanced scrutiny by our senior management team due to existing or potential payment and/or covenant defaults under the contracts governing these investments. ESA recently 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. We have a senior-secured, first-lien debt position with collateral in the form of receivables, real estate, other assets, personal guaranties and the stock of ESA’s subsidiary company, Lisamarie Fallon, Inc. (dba The Healing Staff). On September 20, 2007 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved a Section 363 Asset Sale for ESA to Prospect Capital. During the period ended September 30, 2007, we made loans totaling $900 to fund working capital for The Healing Staff. Our loans to ESA represent approximately 1.7% of our current net assets.

Advantage provides construction services to the gas industry, primarily in Alberta, which has experienced a significant slowdown in gas related construction activity. We have a senior-secured, first-lien debt position with collateral consisting of substantially all of Advantage’s assets. Advantage has experienced a business slowdown and liquidity problems, and the Investment Adviser believes Advantage could continue to experience payment and covenant defaults. In addition, we have provided and may be required to provide additional capital to Advantage to permit it to continue to operate until its liquidity improves and its business prospects are realized. Advantage is currently considering potential strategic alternatives to better position Advantage in the slowing Alberta market. Our investment in Advantage represents approximately 3.5% of our current net assets.

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 net profits interests, overriding royalty interests and structuring fees, was $15,391 and $6,342 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

37


Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses consist of investment advisory fees (base and incentive fees), credit facility 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 Prospect Capital. 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 $7,526 and $3,158 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. These expenses consisted of investment advisory and administrative services fees, credit facility costs, professional fees, insurance expenses, directors’ fees and other general and administrative expenses. The base investment advisory fees were $1,866 and $616 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. The income incentive fees were $1,966 and $818 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. No capital gains incentive fee has yet been incurred pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.

In the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company incurred legal expenses, in the amount of approximately $1,000, related largely to an arbitration matter. If the Company prevails in the aforesaid arbitration, as it believes it should, the Company believes it is entitled to reimbursement of such expenses. In any event, the Company considers such expenses largely non-recurring items that it does not expect to occur to such a degree in subsequent quarters. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this arbitration and believes that it is without merit.

During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the Company incurred $1,238 and $662, respectively of expenses related to its credit facilities. The table below describes the components of the credit facility costs.

Net Investment Income, Net Realized Gains, Net Unrealized Appreciation and Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

Prospect Capital’s net investment income was $7,865 and $3,274 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Net investment income represents the difference between investment income and operating expenses and is directly impacted by the items described above. Net realized gains (losses) were ($11) and $1,951 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was $696 and ($1,261) for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Net increase in net assets resulting from operations represents the sum of the returns generated from net investment income, realized gains (losses) and the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash flows used in operating activities totaled $52,578 and $49,703 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. Dividends paid and declared were $6,587 and $3,586 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

38


Our primary use of funds will be investments in portfolio companies and cash distributions to holders of our common stock. In the future, we may continue to fund a portion of our investments 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 expand our portfolio. At September 30, 2007, we had a $200,000 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility on which $59,962 was outstanding. On September 6, 2007, our Shelf Registration Statement on Form N-2 was declared effective by the SEC. Under the Registration Statement, we may issue up to $500,000 of our equity securities over the next three years.

Borrowings

The Company had $59,962 and $0 in borrowings at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The following table shows the facility amounts and outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2007, 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 the investment advisory and management agreement and the administration agreement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has been no material change in quantitative or qualitative disclosures about market risk as previously disclosed in our most recent 10-K filing.

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 control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 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

The Company is a defendant in a legal action arising out of its activities. While predicting the outcome of litigation is inherently very difficult, and the ultimate resolution, range of possible loss and possible impact on operating results cannot be reliably estimated, management believes, based upon its understanding of the facts and the advice of legal counsel, that it has a meritorious defense for this action. We continue to defend this action vigorously, and believe that resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

On December 6, 2004, Dallas Gas Partners, L.P. (“DGP”) served Prospect Capital with a complaint filed November 30, 2004 in the U.S. District for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division. DGP alleges that DGP was defrauded and that Prospect Capital breached its fiduciary duty to DGP and tortiously interfered with DGP’s contract to purchase Gas Solutions, Ltd. (a subsidiary of our portfolio company, GSHI) in connection with

39


Prospect Capital’s alleged agreement in September 2004 to loan DGP funds with which DGP intended to buy Gas Solutions, Ltd. for approximately $26,000. The complaint seeks relief not limited to $100,000. We believe that the DGP complaint is frivolous and without merit, and intend to defend the matter vigorously. On November 30, 2005, U.S. Magistrate Judge John R. Froeschner of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division, issued a recommendation that the court grant Prospect Capital’s Motion for Summary Judgment dismissing all claims by DGP. On February 21, 2006, U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division issued an order granting Prospect Capital’s Motion for Summary Judgment dismissing all claims by DGP, against Prospect Capital Corporation. DGP has appealed this decision.

In May 2006, based in part on unfavorable due diligence and the absence of investment committee approval, the Company declined to extend a loan for $10 million to a potential borrower (“plaintiff”). Plaintiff was subsequently sued by its own attorney in a local Texas court for plaintiff's failure to pay fees owed to its attorney. In December 2006, plaintiff filed a cross-action against the Company and certain affiliates (the “defendants”) in the same local Texas court, alleging, among other things, tortious interference with contract and fraud, and seeking in excess of $50 million. Based on a letter agreement between the Company and plaintiff (the "Letter Agreement") which provided, among other things, that any dispute was to be decided at the Company's election by binding arbitration in New York, the Company petitioned the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to compel arbitration and to enjoin the Texas action. In February 2007, the Company's motions were granted. Plaintiff appealed that decision. The arbitration commenced in July and is expected to conclude in late November. The Company believes that the Letter Agreement forecloses any liability and that the plaintiff has suffered zero ($0) damages. The Company believes that most of its legal expenses related to this matter have already been incurred. Although it cannot guarantee any outcome in this arbitration, the Company is vigorously defending against this action and believes that it is without merit. Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, which provides for an award of attorneys' fees to the prevailing party, the Company is seeking full recovery for all attorneys fees, costs and related expenses incurred in this matter.

We are 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
