Endnote Explanations for the Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of December 31, 2010 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 December 31, 2010, 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 December 31, 2010 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 December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 were $607,021 and $512,244, respectively; they represent 57.8% 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 $546,425 and $451,648 of these investments as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾		Security, or portion thereof, has a floating interest rate. Stated interest rate was in effect at December 31, 2010 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 December 31, 2010 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 December 31, 2010, our Board of Directors assessed a fair value of $975 for the loan position in Coalbed LLC, a decrease of $439 from the fair value as of June 30, 2010.

⁽¹¹⁾		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 December 31, 2010 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.

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 December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

⁽¹²⁾		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.

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 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 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 six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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.

We adopted FASB 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 December 31, 2010 and for the three and six 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 FASB 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. ASC 460 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

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 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, 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 is effective as of the beginning of our first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. 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 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 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual period. 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. We do not believe that the adoption of the amended guidance in ASU 2010-29 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 13). 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.

Purchase Price Allocation

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:


Cash (to repay Patriot debt)	$	107,313
Cash (to fund purchase of restricted stock from former Patriot employees)		970
Common stock issued ⁽¹⁾		92,800

Total purchase price		201,083

Net assets acquired		209,715

Gain on Patriot acquisition ⁽³⁾	$	8,632


⁽¹⁾		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 were 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.

Condensed Statement of Net Assets Acquired

The following condensed statement of net assets acquired reflects the values assigned to Patriot’s net assets as of the acquisition date, December 2, 2009.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to be indicative of actual financial position or results of our operations had the Patriot acquisition actually been consummated as of July 1, 2009. Certain one-time charges have been eliminated. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the allocation of the purchase price of Patriot and the gain of $8,632 recognized on the Patriot Acquisition have been eliminated. Management has realized net operating synergies from this transaction. The pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the potential impact of these synergies and does not reflect any impact of additional accretion which would have been recognized on the transaction, except for that which was recorded after the transaction was consummated on December 2, 2009

⁽¹⁾		Relates to assets held at December 31, 2009

At December 31, 2010, 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 also 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 $88,834 and $163,653 as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The fair values of these investments represent approximately 2.3% and 5.6% of our net assets as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the income foregone as a result of not accruing interest on non-accrual debt investments amounted to $3,495 and $8,052, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the income foregone as a result of not accruing interest on non-accrual debt investments amounted to $6,568 and $12,510, respectively. At December 31, 2010, we held one asset on accrual status for which the payment of interest was past-due more than 90 days, H&M Oil and Gas, LLC. The principal balance of this loan is $60,019 and the accrued interest receivable is $3,952 at December 31, 2010. The past due interest of $3,952 was collected in full on January 18, 2011. We expect full repayment of principal and interest on this loan.

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 six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. 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 December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, such reimbursements totaled as $2,100 and $800, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, such reimbursements totaled as $3,850 and $2,031, 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 at $3.95 net proceeds per share, realizing a gain of $5,415. The remaining 616,304 shares of Miller common stock were sold on January 10, 2010.

During the three months 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 December 31, 2010 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 $138,070 and $210,438 during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. These placements and acquisitions totaled $275,867 and $216,506 during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The $210,438 and $216,506 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009, respectively, include $207,126 of portfolio investments acquired from Patriot. Debt repayments and sales of equity securities with a cost basis of $62,915 and $45,494 were received during the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. These repayments and sales amounted to $131,063 and $69,735 during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $1,305 and $5,353, respectively, of interest income due to purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot. Included in the $5,353 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, is $1,116 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Impact Products, LLC. We also recapitalized our debt investment in Northwestern Management Services, LLC. The $20,000 loan was issued at market terms comparable to 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 $1,612 of original purchase discount from the loan repayment which was recognized as interest income. There was no accelerated accretion recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

During the period from the acquisition of Patriot on December 2, 2009 to December 31, 2009, we recognized $7,495 of interest income from the assets acquired from Patriot. Included in this amount is $4,560 resulting from the acceleration of purchase discounts from the early repayments of three loans, three revolving lines of credit and the sale of one investment position.

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 December 31, 2010. 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 (See Note 14.). 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.

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 December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants.

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 December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, we had $242,890 and $180,678 available to us for borrowing under our Syndicated Facility, of which zero 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 December 31, 2010, the investments used as collateral for the Syndicated Facility had an aggregate market value of $607,021, which represents 67.2% of net assets. Prospect Capital Funding, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, holds $546,425 of these investments at market value as of December 31, 2010. 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 $9,390 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 $7,079 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 (“Senior Convertible Notes”) for net proceeds following underwriting expenses of approximately $145,200. Interest on the Senior Convertible 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 Senior Convertible Notes mature on December 15, 2015 unless converted earlier. The Senior Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate and conversion rate at December 31, 2010 of 88.0902 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Senior Convertible 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 Senior Convertible Notes will be increased if monthly cash dividends paid to common shares exceed the rate of $0.101125 cents per share, subject to adjustment.

In no event will the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion exceed 96.8992 per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes (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 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 $5,045 of fees which are being amortized over the term of the facility in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, of which $5,026 remains to be amortized.

For the period from December 21, 2010 (the date of issuance of the notes) to December 31, 2010, we recorded $280 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs as interest expense.

Note 7. Equity Offerings and Related Expenses

⁽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.

⁽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 December 31, 2010 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 December 31, 2010 pursuant to this plan.

On October 29, 2010, November 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, we issued shares of our common stock in connection with the dividend reinvestment plan of 92,999, 87,941 and 89,603, respectively.

On November 8, 2010, we announced the declaration of monthly dividends in the following amounts and with the following dates:

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 December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $4,903, and $3,176, respectively. The fees incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2008 were $9,179, and $6,385, 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;

	•		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 December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, income incentive fees of $4,769 and $4,816, respectively, were incurred. For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, income incentive fees of $10,018 and $7,896, respectively, were incurred. No capital gains incentive fees were incurred for the three or six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

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 December 31, 2010 and 2009, the reimbursement was approximately $840. For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the reimbursement was approximately $1,640 and $1,680, 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.

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 $360 and $215 of managerial assistance fees for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively, of which $195 and $247 remains on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2010, and June 30, 2010, respectively. We billed $613 and $431 of managerial assistance fees for the six months ended December 31, 2010 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. 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 December 31, 2010.

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.

The aggregate value of our portfolio investments was $918,221 and $748,483 as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2010, our net cost of investments increased by $157,309, or 21.6%, primarily as a result of our investment in ten new and seven follow-on investments of $275,867, while we received full repayment on eight investments, sold three investments and received several partial prepayments and revolver paydowns of $135,553. Several new investments that we anticipated closing prior to December 31, 2010 were delayed by the borrowers when the expiring tax breaks were extended. The closing of these loans has increased the level of activity during the current quarter ending March 31, 2011 as detailed in the Recent Developments, which follows.

Compared to the end of last fiscal year (ended June 30, 2010), net assets increased by $191,766 or 27.0% during the six months ended December 31, 2010, from $711,424 to $903,190. This increase resulted from the issuance of new shares of our common stock (less offering costs) in the amount of $177,718, dividend reinvestments of $5,280, and another $57,520 from operations. These increases, in turn, were offset by $48,752 in dividend distributions to our stockholders. The $57,520 increase in net assets resulting from operations is net of the following: net investment income of $40,075, net realized gain on investments of $5,016, and an increase in net assets due to changes in net unrealized appreciation of investments of $12,429.

Market Conditions

While the economy continues to show signs of recovery from the deteriorating credit markets of 2008 and 2009, there is still a level of uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets. The growth and improvement in the capital markets that began during the second half of 2009 carried over into the first half of 2010. 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, 2011, we issued $150,000 of 6.25% Senior Convertible Notes due December 15, 2015 to further enhance our liquidity position and to demonstrate our access to the unsecured term debt market (See 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 December 31, 2010, we had no outstanding borrowings on the credit facility and $150,000 outstanding on our Senior Convertible Notes. We also had $242,890 available under our credit facility for additional borrowing. Further, as we make additional investments that are eligible to be pledged under 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 4, 2010, our Registration Statement on Form N-2 was declared effective by the SEC. Under this Shelf Registration Statement, we can issue up to $257,676 of additional equity securities as of December 31, 2010.

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.

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.

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 to December 15, 2010. Net proceeds were $44,244 after 2% commission to the broker-dealer on shares sold.

Dividend

On November 8, 2010, we announced the declaration of monthly dividends in the following amounts and with the following dates:

	•		$0.100875 per share for November 2010 to holders of record on November 30, 2010 with a payment date of December 31, 2010;

	•		$0.101000 per share for December 2010 to holders of record on December 31, 2010 with a payment date of January 31, 2011;

	•		$0.101125 per share for January 2011 to holders of record on January 31, 2011 with a payment date of February 28, 2011.

Credit Facility

On November 1, 2010, we announced an increase in commitments to our credit facility of $20,000. As of December 31, 2010, the lenders have extended commitments of $285,000 under the credit facility. Our credit facility includes an accordion feature which allows the facility to be increased to up to $300,000 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.

Senior Convertible Notes

On December 21, 2010, we issued $150,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2015. The Notes mature on December 15, 2015, unless previously converted in accordance with their terms. The Notes are general unsecured obligations, rank equally in right of payment with our existing 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 Senior Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate and conversion rate at December 31, 2010 of 88.0902 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $11.352 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The holders of the Notes may also put back the Notes to the Company under certain circumstances. The net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Convertible Notes were approximately $145,200, which will be used initially to maintain balance sheet liquidity, including repayment of debt under the Company’s credit facility, investments in high quality short-term debt instruments or a combination thereof, and thereafter to make long-term investments in accordance with the Company’s investment objective. We have analyzed the features of the Senior Convertible 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 December 31, 2010 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

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.

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.

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.

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 six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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

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 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.

Revenue Recognition

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

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 is effective as of the beginning of our first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. 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 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 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual period. 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. 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

Patriot Acquisition

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 13 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:


Cash (to repay Patriot debt)	$	107,313
Cash (to fund purchase of restricted stock from former Patriot employees)		970
Common stock issued ⁽¹⁾		92,800

Total purchase price		201,083

Assets acquired:
Investments ⁽²⁾		207,126
Cash and cash equivalents		1,697
Other assets		3,859

Assets acquired		212,682
Other liabilities assumed		(2,967	)

Net assets acquired		209,715

Gain on Patriot acquisition ⁽³⁾	$	8,632


⁽¹⁾		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 six months ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $1,305 and $5,353 of interest income due to purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot, respectively. Included in the $5,353 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, is $1,116 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Impact Products, LLC (“Impact”). We also recapitalized our debt investment in Northwestern Management Services, LLC (“Northwestern”), which precipitated the acceleration of $1,612 of original purchase discount. There was no accelerated accretion recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, $25,777 of purchase discount from the Patriot acquisition remains to be accreted.

Investment Holdings

As of December 31, 2010, 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.

During the six months ended December 31, 2010, we have originated $281,884 of new investments. Our origination efforts recently have focused primarily on secured lending, including a higher percentage of first lien loans than in recent prior fiscal quarters, 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. As a result of these credit risk management initiatives, as well as a decrease in the dividends received from Gas Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“GSHI”), our portfolio’s annualized current yield decreased from 15.7% to 14.1% across all long-term debt and certain equity investments as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The decrease in dividends from GSHI is primarily the result 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. 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 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. 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 December 31, 2010, 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, LLC (“Fischbein”), Freedom Marine Services LLC, GSHI, Integrated Contract Services, Inc. (“ICS”), Iron Horse Coiled Tubing, Inc. (“Iron Horse”), Manx Energy, Inc. (“Manx”), NRG, Nupla Corporation, R-V Industries (“R-V”), Inc. and Yatesville Coal Holdings, Inc. (“Yatesville”). We also own an affiliated interest in Biotronic NeuroNetwork (“Biotronic”), Boxercraft Incorporated, KTPS Holdings, LLC (“KTPS”), Smart, LLC, and Sport Helmets Holdings, LLC.

During the six months ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $5,353 of interest income due to purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot. Included in this amount is $1,116 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Impact. We also recapitalized our debt investment in Northwestern. The $20,000 loan was issued at market terms comparable to 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 $1,612 of original purchase discount from the loan repayment which recognized as interest income. There was no accelerated accretion recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Investment Valuation

In determining the fair value of our portfolio investments at December 31, 2010, the Audit Committee considered valuations from the independent valuation firm and from management having an aggregate range of $886,690 to $966,862, 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 $918,221, 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 six months ended December 31, 2010, 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 December 31, 2010, we control 78.1% 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 the first half of 2009 in light of the global macroeconomic crisis. The second half of 2009 and 2010 showed steady improvement versus the first half of 2009. At December 31, 2010, Ajax had a backlog of new business that would indicate continued improvement for 2011.

The Board of Directors increased the fair value of our investment in Ajax to $30,574 as of December 31, 2010, a reduction of $10,706 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 December 31, 2010, 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.

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 has over 30 years of experience in the midstream sector, including gathering and processing, gas purchasing, storing and trading; producer services; and business development mergers and acquisitions. He served most recently at Energy Transfer, where he managed Houston Pipeline, among other activities. Mr. Bourne is focusing 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.

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 December 31, 2010 based upon a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and a public comparables analysis. At December 31, 2010 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 quarter ended December 31, 2010, we made follow-on secured debt investments of $317 in THS to support ongoing operations. 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 $1,370 at December 31, 2010, a reduction of $15,342 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 equity ownership will incrementally decrease as debt tranches are repaid. There was no change to fair value at the time of restructuring. Iron Horse repaid $2,615 of this senior secured debt during the quarter ended December 31, 2010. As Iron Horse has shown an ability to continue to service the interest and principal payments as they come due, we have returned Iron Horse to accrual status in December 2010.

The Board of Directors increased the fair value of our investment in Iron Horse to $18,993 as of December 31, 2010, a reduction of $606 from 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 $4,600 as of December 31, 2010, a reduction of $14,169 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 its permitted reserves in 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 December 31, 2010, 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. Three of our portfolio companies have experienced such volatility — C&J and Fischbein with improved operating results, and NRG with declining operating results. Eight 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 $9,554 during the six months ended December 31, 2010 due to improved operating results. Overall, at December 31, 2010, the control investments are valued at $28,499 above their amortized cost.

We hold five affiliate investments at December 31, 2010. One of these investments reported declining operating results, resulting in a valuation decrease for this investment — KTPS. The remaining affiliate investments are valued at amortized cost or higher. Overall, at December 31, 2010, affiliate investments are valued $8,894 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. The Copernicus Group, Inc. (“Copernicus”), Maverick and Miller Petroleum, Inc. (“Miller”) experienced meaningful increases in valuations. Deb Shops, Inc. (“Deb Shops”), H&M Oil & Gas, LLC (“H&M”), Stryker Energy, LLC (“Stryker”), Wind River Resources Corp. and Wind River II Corp (collectively “Wind River”) experienced decreases in valuations due to declines in their operating results. Shearer’s Foods, Inc. completed a significant acquisition, which is driving the operating results and the increase in the value of the investment. The remaining investments did not experience significant changes in operations or valuation.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $1,305 and $5,353, respectively, of interest income due to purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot. Included in the $5,353 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 is $1,116 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Impact. We also recapitalized our debt investment in Northwestern during this period. The $20,000 loan was issued at market terms comparable to 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 $1,612 of original purchase discount from the loan repayment which recognized as interest income. There was no accelerated accretion recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2010.

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 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 December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010:


	As of December 31, 2010				As of June 30, 2010
	Facility		Amount		Facility		Amount
	Amount		Outstanding		Amount		Outstanding
Revolving Credit Facility	$	285,000	$	—	$	210,000	$	100,300
Senior Convertible Notes	$	150,000	$	150,000	$	—	$	—

The following table shows the contractual maturity of our Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Convertible Notes at December 31, 2010:


	Payments Due By Period
	Less Than				More Than
	1 Year		1 - 3 Years		3 Years
Revolving Credit Facility	$	—	$	—	$	—

Senior Convertible Notes	$	—	$	—	$	150,000

We have and expect to continue to fund a portion of our cash needs through borrowings from banks, issuances of senior securities, including secured, unsecured and convertible debt securities and preferred stock, or issuances of common 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 $500,000 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 commitments of $285,000 under the Syndicated Facility as of December 31, 2010. On November 1, 2010 and December 10, 2010, lender commitments increased to $260,000 and $285,000, respectively. The Syndicated Facility includes an accordion feature which allows the facility to be increased to up to $300,000 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 December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, we had $242,890 and $180,678 available to us for borrowing under our Syndicated Facility, of which zero and $100,300 was outstanding, respectively. The Syndicated Facility requires us to pledge assets as collateral in order to borrow under the credit facility. 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 December 31, 2010, the investments used as collateral for the Syndicated Facility had an aggregate market value of $607,021, which represents 67.2% of net assets. Prospect Capital Funding, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, holds $546,425 of these investments at market value as of December 31, 2010. The release of any assets from Prospect Capital Funding, LLC requires the approval of Rabobank as facility agent.

Interest on borrowings under the Syndicated Facility was one-month Libor plus 250 basis points prior to June 25, 2009, increasing 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 and thereafter. 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, 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

For the period from December 21, 2010 (the date of issuance of the notes) to December 31, 2010, we recorded $280 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs as interest expense.

During the six months ended December 31, 2010, we raised $177,718 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 $0.11 per share. The following table shows the calculation of net asset value per share as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010:


	As of December 31, 2010			As of June 30, 2010
Net Assets	$	903,190		$	711,424
Shares of common stock outstanding		88,115,382			69,086,862

Net asset value per share	$	10.25	(1)	$	10.30

(1)

Our most recently estimated NAV per share is $10.15 on an as adjusted basis solely to give effect to our issuance of common shares on January 31, 2011 in connection with our dividend reinvestment plan and dividends of $0.101125 per share with a January 31, 2011 record date, versus $10.25 determined by us as of December 31, 2010. NAV as of February 9, 2011 may be higher or lower than $10.15 based on potential changes in valuations and earnings since December 31, 2010. Our Board of Directors has not yet determined the fair value of portfolio investments subsequent to December 31, 2010. Our Board of Directors determines the fair value of our portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in connection with the preparation of quarterly financial statements and based on input from an independent valuation firm, our Investment Advisor and the audit committee of our Board of Directors.

At December 31, 2010, we had 88,115,382 of our common stock issued and outstanding.

Results of Operations

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $31,940 and ($14,520), respectively, representing $0.38 and ($0.25) per weighted average share, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we experienced net unrealized and realized gains of $12,861 or approximately $0.15 per weighted average share primarily from significant write-ups of our investments in Biotronic, Fischbein, Iron Horse, Maverick, NRG and R-V, and our sale of Miller common stock for which we realized a gain of $5,415. These instances of appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation in H&M, ICS, Stryker and Wind River. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, we experienced net unrealized and realized losses of $33,778 or approximately $0.59 per weighted average share due primarily 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, Coalbed, Deb Shops, H&M, NRG, R-V and Wind River.

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $57,520 and ($20,898), respectively, representing $0.73 and ($0.39) per weighted average share, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2010, we experienced net unrealized and realized gains of $17,446 or approximately $0.22 per weighted average share primarily from significant write-ups of our investments in AIRMALL, Ajax, Copernicus, Fischbein, Iron Horse and Maverick, and our sale of Miller common stock for which we realized a gain of $5,415. These instances of unrealized appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation in H&M, ICS, NRG, Stryker and Wind River. During the six months ended December 31, 2009, we experienced net unrealized and realized losses of $52,474 or approximately $0.97 per weighted average share due primarily due to the impairment of Yatesville.

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 $33,300 and $31,801 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Investment income was $68,512 and $53,318 for the six months ended, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Investment income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 included income from the Patriot acquisition, for which we recognized a gain from the acquisition of $8,632 and accelerated purchase discount accretion of $4,560. There was no acceleration recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2010, and $2,728 of accelerated purchase discount recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2010. Pro-forma for these adjustments our total investment income would have been $46,492 and $78,976 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, respectively. The primary driver of the increase in investment income is the deployment of additional capital in revenue-producing assets through increased origination and a full period benefit of the assets acquired in the Patriot acquisition. This increase is partially offset by a decline in dividend income from GSHI. The following table describes the various components of investment income and the related levels of debt investments:


	For The Three Months Ended						For The Six Months Ended
	December 31,						December 31,
	2010			2009			2009			2009

Interest income	$	27,362		$	18,539		$	56,283		$	33,374
Dividend income		3,371			4,170			5,565			10,388
Other income		2,567			9,092			6,664			9,556

Total investment income	$	33,300		$	31,801		$	68,512		$	53,318


Average debt principal of investments	$	898,234		$	571,809		$	881,155		$	535,069

Weighted-average interest rate earned		11.92	%		12.86	%		12.50	%		12.37	%

Average interest income producing assets have increased from $571,809 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $898,674 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The average yield on interest bearing assets decreased from 12.86% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 11.92% for the three months ended December 31, 2010. This decrease is primarily due to the Patriot acquisition, for which we recognized purchase discount accretion of $5,320 and $1,305 during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The discount accretion for the three months ended December 31, 2009 includes $4,560 of accelerated accretion from early repayments of ADAPCO, Inc., Quartermaster, Inc. and Aylward Enterprises, LLC. There were no early repayments resulting in accelerated accretion during the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Investment income is also generated from dividends and other income. Dividend income has declined from $4,170 to $3,371 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 and from $10,388 to $5,565 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The decrease in dividend income is primarily attributable to the level of dividends received from our investment in GSHI. We received dividends from GSHI of $4,000 and $2,100 during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, respectively. We received dividends from GSHI of $10,000 and $3,850 during the six months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Other income has come primarily from structuring fees, overriding royalty interests, and settlement of net profits interests. Income from other sources, excluding the gain on the Patriot acquisition, increased from $460 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $2,567 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. This $2,107 increase is primarily due to $2,227 of structuring fees recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2010 related to American Gilsonite, Jordan, Royal, Snacks Holding Corporation and VPSI as origination efforts increased. During the three months ended December 31, 2009 we recognized $8 of structuring fees. Comparing the six months ended December 31, 2009 to the six months ended December 31, 2010, other income increased from $924 to $6,664. This $5,740 increase is primarily due to $5,675 of structuring fees recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2010 primarily related to AIRMALL, American Gilsonite, Jordan, Progrexion, Royal, Snacks Holding Corporation, and VPSI. During the three months ended December 31, 2009 we recognized $13 of structuring fees. In addition, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 we recognized a gain from the Patriot acquisition of $8,632, which was included in other income.

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 $14,220 and $12,543 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Operating expenses were $28,437 and $21,742 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The base investment advisory expenses were $4,903 and $3,176 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The base investment advisory expenses were $9,179 and $6,385 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. This increase is directly related to our growth in total assets. For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we incurred $4,769 and $4,816, respectively, of income incentive fees. For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we incurred $10,018 and $7,896, respectively, of income incentive fees. The $2,122 increase in the income incentive fee for the respective six-month period is driven by an increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income from $39,472 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 to $50,093 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, 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 six months ended December 31, 2010, we incurred $2,261 and $4,522, respectively, of expenses related to our Syndicated Facility and Senior Convertible Notes. This compares with expenses of $1,995 and $3,369 incurred during the three and six months ended December 31, 2009, 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.


	For The Three Months Ended						For The Six Months Ended
	December 31,						December 31,
	2010			2009			2010			2009

Interest on borrowings	$	512		$	266		$	1,461		$	393
Amortization of deferred financing costs		1,144			1,282			2,134			2,106
Commitment and other fees		605			447			927			870

Total	$	2,261		$	1,995		$	4,522		$	3,369


Weighted-average debt outstanding	$	41,139		$	17,609		$	64,249		$	13,003

Weighted-average interest rate on borrowings		4.87	%		6.00	%		4.45	%		6.00	%

Facility amount at beginning of period	$	240,000		$	195,000		$	210,000		$	195,000

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 December 31, 2010 versus the six months then ended reflects the issuance of Senior Convertible Notes on December 21, 2010.

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 kept its staffing levels relatively constant along with the costs passed through. As our portfolio continues to grow, we expect to 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 increase along with the increase in staffing and asset base.

Total operating expenses, net of investment advisory fees and interest costs (“Other Operating Expenses”), were $2,287 and $2,556 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Other Operating Expenses were $4,718 and $4,092 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The $626 increase in Other Operating Expenses for the respective six-month period is primarily due to the increased size of our portfolio, for which we have incurred higher costs for legal and valuation services and administrative expenses.

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

Net investment income represents the difference between investment income and operating expenses. Our net investment income (“NII”) was $19,080 and $19,258 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, or $0.23 per share and 0.33 per share, respectively. Our NII was $40,075 and $31,576 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, or $0.51 per share and 0.59 per share, respectively. The primary source of the higher NII per share in 2009 is our recognition of a gain on the Patriot acquisition of $8,632 in December 2009. Also affecting NII per share is the accelerated accretion of original purchase discounts of $4,560 which were recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2009. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recognized $2,728 of accelerated accretion of original purchase discounts. No accelerated accretion of original purchase discounts was recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. If these two sources of adjustment to NII per share were removed and adjustments made for the effects on advisory fees, NII per share would have been $0.23 per share and $0.15 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $0.48 per share and $0.39 per share for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We anticipate NII per share will increase as we utilize prudent term leverage to finance our growth.

Net realized gains (losses) were $4,489 and ($51,229) for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Net realized gains (losses) were $5,016 and ($51,229) for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The net realized gain for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 was due primarily to the sale of our common stock in Miller. The net realized loss of $51,229 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 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 $8,371 and $17,451 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, the $8,371 increase in net assets from the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was driven by significant write-ups of our investments in Biotronic, Fischbein, Iron Horse, Maverick, Miller, NRG and R-V. These instances of unrealized appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation in H&M, ICS, Stryker and Wind River. For the three months ended December 31 2009, the $17,451 increase in net assets from the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was driven primarily by write-ups of our investments in Ajax, Coalbed, Deb Shops, H&M, NRG, R-V and Wind River.

Net increase in net assets from changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was $12,429 and ($1,245) for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, the $12,429 increase in net assets from the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was driven by significant write-ups of our investments in Airmall, Ajax, Copernicus, Fischbein, Iron Horse, Maverick and Miller. These instances of unrealized appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation in H&M, ICS, NRG, Stryker and Wind River.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our operating activities (used) provided ($176,337) and $155,128 of cash, respectively. Investing activities used $106,586 of cash during the six months ended December 31, 2009. Financing activities provided $179,275 and $54,640 of cash during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which included the payments of dividends of $41,483 and $36,469, during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 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 six months ended December 31, 2010, we borrowed $180,500 and made repayments totaling $280,800 under our revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2010, we had no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility and $150,000 outstanding on our Senior Convertible notes (See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.)

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 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2010, 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 December 31, 2010, 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. At December 31, 2010, the principal value of loans totaling $9,925 bear interest at floating rates.

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 December 31, 2010, 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 December 31, 2010 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 December 31, 2010.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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