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

(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, 2011 and June 30, 2011, two of our portfolio investments, Allied Defense Group, Inc. (“Allied”) and Dover Saddlery, Inc. (“Dover”) were publically traded and classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy established by Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, 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 3 within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

(3)	Security, or portion thereof, is held by Prospect Capital Funding LLC, a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, and is pledged as collateral for the revolving credit facility and such security is not available as collateral to our general creditors (See Note 4). The market values of these investments at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 were $966,553 and $700,321, respectively; they represent 54.4% and 46.0% of total investments at fair value, respectively. Prospect Capital Funding LLC (See Note 1), our wholly-owned subsidiary, holds an aggregate market value of $857,017 and $631,915 of these investments as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

(4)	Security, or portion thereof, has a floating interest rate which may be subject to a LIBOR or PRIME floor. Stated interest rate was in effect at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

(5)	There are several entities involved in the Biomass investment. As of June 30, 2011, we own directly 3,265 shares of common stock in CCEI , f/k/a Worcester Energy Partners, Inc., representing 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock. CCEI owns 100 shares of common stock in Precision Logging and Landclearing, Inc. (“PLL”), representing 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock.

	As of June 30, 2011, we own directly 552 shares of common stock in Worcester Energy Co., Inc. (“WECO”), representing 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock.

	Our 100% ownership of each of CCEI and WECO resulted from our successful bid, in December 2010, for the 49% of each of those stocks we did not own directly.

	As of June 30, 2011, we own directly 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.

	During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we created two new entities - CCEHI and DownEast Power Company, LLC (“DEPC”) - in anticipation of the foreclosure proceedings against the three co-borrowers, WECO, CCEI and Biochips, on a note due to us that we had put on non-accrual status effective July 1, 2008.

	As of June 30, 2011, 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.

	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 zero for all of the 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 Biomass investment as a whole as of June 30, 2011, respectively.

	In December 2011, we formed New CCEI, Inc. (“New CCEI”) and contributed 100% of the equity of CCEI to New CCEI. After the contribution, CCEI converted into a limited liability company. On December 9, 2011, each of CCEH, PLL, WECO and WEHI merged with and into New CCEI. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, New CCEI merged into Change Clean Energy Holdings, LLC and our ownership of New CCEI was transferred to Energy Solutions Holdings, Inc.

	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.

(11)	On June 30, 2008, we consolidated our holdings in four coal companies into 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 allowed for a better utilization of the assets in the consolidated group.

	At June 30, 2011, Yatesville held a $9,326 note receivable from North Fork and owned 100% of the membership interest of East Kentucky Coal Holdings, Inc. (“East Kentucky”). North Fork was owned 100% by East Kentucky.

	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.

	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 as of June 30, 2011.

	On December 9, 2011, each of Genesis, E&L, C&A and East Kentucky merged with and into Yatesville. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, our ownership of Yatesville merged into a subsidiary of Energy Solutions.

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. Organization

References herein to “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Prospect Capital Corporation (“Prospect”) and its subsidiary unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

We were formerly known as Prospect Energy Corporation, a Maryland corporation. We were organized on April 13, 2004 and were funded in an initial public offering (“IPO”), completed on July 27, 2004. We are a closed-end investment company that has filed an election to be treated as a Business Development Company (“BDC”), under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). As a BDC, we have qualified and have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. We invest primarily in senior and subordinated debt and equity of companies in need of capital for acquisitions, divestitures, growth, development, recapitalizations and other purposes.

On May 15, 2007, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Prospect Capital Funding LLC (“PCF”), a Delaware limited liability company and a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which holds certain of our portfolio loan investments that are used as collateral for the credit facility at PCF.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following are significant accounting policies consistently applied by us:

Basis of Presentation

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

Use of Estimates

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

Basis of Consolidation

Under the 1940 Act rules, the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services and benefits to us. Our financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of PCF, 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

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

Many 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 shadow bond approach, a market approach, an income approach, a liquidation approach, or a combination of approaches, as appropriate. The shadow bond and 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 on July 1, 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, the 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.

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 5) 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 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 Capital Funding, Inc. (“Patriot”) was determined based on the difference between par value and fair market value as of December 2, 2009, and will continue to accrete until maturity or repayment of the respective loans.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

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

Federal and State Income Taxes

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

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

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

We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are ‘‘more-likely-than-not’’ of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of ASC 740 was applied to all open tax years as of July 1, 2007. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have an effect on our net asset value, financial condition or results of operations as there was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no change to our

beginning net asset value. As of December 31, 2011 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 expected life.

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

Guarantees and Indemnification Agreements

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

Per Share Information

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

In February 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“ASU 2011-02”). ASU 2011-02 clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 provides guidance to clarify whether the creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or July 1,

2011 for us. The adoption of the amended guidance in ASU 2011-02 did not have a significant effect on our financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 amends Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”) by: (1) clarifying that the highest-and-best-use and valuation-premise concepts only apply to measuring the fair value of non-financial assets; (2) allowing a reporting entity to measure the fair value of the net asset or net liability position in a manner consistent with how market participants would price the net risk position, if certain criteria are met; (3) providing a framework for considering whether a premium or discount can be applied in a fair value measurement; (4) providing that the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity is estimated from the perspective of a market participant that holds the identical item as an asset; and (5) expanding the qualitative and quantitative fair value disclosure requirements. The expanded disclosures include, for Level 3 items, a description of the valuation process and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those inputs if a change in those inputs would result in a significantly different fair value measurement. ASU 2011-4 also requires disclosures about the highest-and-best-use of a non-financial asset when this use differs from the asset’s current use and the reasons for such a difference. In addition, this ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” to require disclosures to include any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments of ASU 2011-04, when adopted, are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the net change in unrealized appreciation on the investments that use Level 3 inputs was $42,165 and $13,669 for assets still held as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In December 2011, we completed a reorganization of Gas Solutions Holdings, Inc. renaming the company Energy Solutions and transferring ownership of other operating companies owned by us and operating within the energy industry. As part of the reorganization, our equity interests in Change Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (“CCEHI”) and Change Clean Energy, Inc. (“CCEI”), Freedom Marine and Yatesville was transferred to Energy Solutions to consolidate all of our energy holdings under one management team strategically expanding Energy Solutions across energy sectors.

As of December 31, 2011, the valuation methodology for Energy Solutions changed from a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and a public comparables analysis to a combination of an asset purchase analysis for gas gathering and processing assets and a liquidation analysis for our interests in Freedom Marine Holdings LLC. The independent valuation agent proposed this adjustment as Energy Solutions sold its gas gathering and processing assets in January 2012 (See Note 13). As a result, the fair market value of Energy Solutions, including the underlying portfolio companies affected by the reorganization, increased from $108,485 to $153,467 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011, the valuation methodology for NRG changed from a public comparables analysis to a combination of sale price and a public comparables analysis. The independent valuation agent proposed this adjustment as we executed a stock purchase agreement to sell our ownership interests in NRG in February 2012 (See Note 13). As a result, the fair market value of NRG increased from $45,483 to $87,475 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011, respectively. There were no other material changes to our valuation methodology.

At December 31, 2011 nine loan investments were on non-accrual status: Borga, Freedom Marine Services LLC (“Freedom Marine”), a subsidiary of Energy Solutions, H&M Oil and Gas, LLC (“H&M”), ICS, Manx, Nupla, Stryker Energy, LLC, Wind River Resources Corp. and Wind River II Corp. (“Wind River”) and Yatesville Coal Holdings LLC (“Yatesville”), a subsidiary of Energy Solutions. At June 30, 2011, nine loan investments were on non-accrual status: Borga, Deb Shops, Inc. (‘‘Deb Shops’’), Freedom Marine, H&M, ICS, Nupla, Manx, Wind River and Yatesville. The loan principal of these loans amounted to $170,941 and $154,752 as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The fair values of these investments represent approximately 4.8% of our net assets as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the income foregone as a result of not accruing interest on non-accrual debt investments amounted to $5,598 and $3,495, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the income foregone as a result of not accruing interest on non-accrual debt investments amounted to $12,028 and $6,568, respectively.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, Deb Shops filed for bankruptcy and a plan for reorganization was proposed. The plan, which is expected to be approved by the bankruptcy court, will eliminate our debt position with no payment to us. As a result, we determined that the impairment of Deb Shops was other-than-temporary and recorded a realized loss of $14,607 for the full amount of the amortized cost.

On December 28, 2011, we made a secured debt investment of $37,218 to support the recapitalization of NRG. After the financing, we received repayment of the $13,080 loan that was previously outstanding and a dividend of $6,711 as a result of our equity holdings. In addition, we sold 392 shares of NRG common stock held by us back to NRG for $13,266, realizing a gain of $12,131. Our remaining 408 shares of NRG common stock were sold on February 2, 2012 (See Note 13).

Energy Solutions 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 Energy Solutions through December 31, 2011 for fees associated with a legal action, and Energy Solutions 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Additionally, certain other expenses incurred by us which are attributable to Energy Solutions have been reimbursed by Energy Solutions and are reflected as dividend income: control investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, such reimbursements totaled approximately $3,896 and $1,391, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, such reimbursements totaled approximately $5,659 and $2,510, respectively.

The original cost basis of debt placements and equity securities acquired, including follow-on investments for existing portfolio companies, totaled $152,941 and $138,070 during the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These placements and acquisitions totaled $373,943 and $275,867 during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Debt repayments and sales of equity securities with a cost basis of $106,708 and $62,915 were received during the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These repayments and sales amounted to $152,763 and $131,063 during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recognized $1,548 and $2,385 of interest income due to purchase discount accretion from the assets acquired from Patriot, respectively. Included in the $1,548 recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2011 is $854 of normal accretion and $694 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Mac & Massey Holdings, LLC (“Mac & Massey”). Included in the $2,385 recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2011 is $1,691 of normal accretion and $694 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Mac & Massey.

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.

As of December 31, 2011, $6,250 of purchase discount from the assets acquired from Patriot remains to be accreted as interest income, of which $726 is expected to be amortized during the three months ending March 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2011, $1,093,416 of our loans bear interest at floating rates, $1,070,375 of which have Libor floors ranging from 1.00% to 5.89%.

Undrawn committed revolvers incur commitment fees ranging from 0.50% to 2.00%. As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, we have $33,890 and $35,822 of undrawn revolver commitments to our portfolio companies, respectively.

On June 6, 2007, we closed on a $200,000 three-year revolving credit facility through PCF (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 through PCF. 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 through PCF (the “Syndicated Facility”). The lenders have extended commitments of $400,000 under the Syndicated Facility as of December 31, 2011. 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, 2011, 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, 2011 and June 30, 2011, we had $371,378 and $255,673, respectively, available to us for borrowing under our Syndicated Facility, of which the amount outstanding was $252,000 and $84,200, respectively. As additional investments that are eligible, transferred to PCF and pledged under the Syndicated Facility, PCF will generate additional availability up to the commitment amount of $400,000. At December 31, 2011, the investments used as collateral for the Syndicated Facility had an aggregate market value of $966,553, which represents 82.4% of consolidated net assets. These investments have been transferred to PCF, a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which owns these investments and as such, these investments are not available to our general creditors. PCF, a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity and our wholly-owned subsidiary, holds $857,017 of these investments at market value as of December 31, 2011. The release of any assets from PCF requires the approval of Rabobank as facility agent.

In connection with the origination and amendments of the Syndicated Facility, we incurred $11,905 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 $3,527 remains to be amortized.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded $4,689 and $8,299 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs on the Syndicated Facility as interest expense, respectively.

Note 5. Senior Convertible Notes

On December 21, 2010, we issued $150,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 6.25% senior convertible notes due 2015 (“2015 Notes”) for net proceeds (after deducting underwriting expenses) of approximately $145,200. Interest on the 2015 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 2015 Notes mature on December 15, 2015 unless converted earlier. The 2015 Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion rate and conversion rate at December 31, 2011 of 88.0902 and 88.1056 shares, respectively, of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2015 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $11.35 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The conversion rate for the 2015 Notes will be increased when monthly cash dividends paid to common shares exceed the monthly dividend rate of $0.101125 per share, subject to adjustment.

On February 18, 2011, we issued $172,500 in aggregate principal amount of our 5.50% senior convertible notes due 2016 (“2016 Notes”) for net proceeds following underwriting expenses of approximately $167,325. Interest on the 2016 Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, at a rate of 5.50% per year, commencing August 15, 2011. The 2016 Notes mature on August 15, 2016 unless converted earlier. The 2016 Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion rate and conversion rate at December 31, 2011 of 78.3699 and 78.3814 shares, respectively, of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2016 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $12.76 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The conversion rate for the 2016 Notes will be increased when monthly cash dividends paid to common shares exceed the monthly dividend rate of $0.101150 per share.

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 2015 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 2015 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 2015 Notes and 2016 Notes (collectively, “Senior Convertible Notes”).

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

Subject to certain exceptions, holders may require us to repurchase, for cash, all or part of their Notes upon a fundamental change at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, upon a fundamental change that constitutes a non-stock change of control we will also pay holders an amount in cash equal to the present

value of all remaining interest payments (without duplication of the foregoing amounts) on such Senior Convertible Notes through and including the maturity date.

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Convertible Notes, we incurred $10,562 of fees which are being amortized over the term of the facility in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, of which $8,883 remains to be amortized and is included within deferred financing costs of $12,410 on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded $5,070 and $10,420 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs on the Senior Convertible Notes as interest expense.

Our shareholders’ equity accounts at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 reflect cumulative shares issued as of those respective dates. Our common stock has been issued through public offerings, a registered direct offering, 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 August 24, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan under which we may repurchase up to $100,000 of our common stock at prices below our net asset value. We have not made any purchases of our common stock during the period from August 24, 2011 to December 31, 2011 pursuant to this plan.

On November 7, 2011, we announced the declaration of monthly dividends in the following amounts and with the following dates:

· $0.101375 per share for November 2011 to holders of record on November 30, 2011 with a payment date of December 22, 2011;

On October 21, 2011, our Registration Statement on Form N-2 was declared effective by the SEC. Under this Shelf Registration Statement, we can issue up to $750,000 of additional debt and equity securities in the public market.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we issued 584,361 and 534,044 shares, respectively, of our common stock in connection with the dividend reinvestment plan.

At December 31, 2011, we have reserved 26,736,633 shares of our common stock for issuance upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes (See Note 5).

Note 9. 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $8,825, and $4,903, respectively. The fees incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $17,036, and $9,179, 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, equal 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 paid since inception.

For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, income incentive fees of $9,127 and $4,769, respectively, were incurred. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, income incentive fees of $16,096 and $10,018, respectively, were incurred. No capital gains incentive fees were incurred for the three or six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Administration Agreement

We have also entered into an Administration Agreement with Prospect Administration, LLC (“Prospect Administration”) under which Prospect Administration, among other things, provides (or arranges for the provision of) administrative services and facilities for us. For providing these services, we reimburse Prospect Administration for our allocable portion of overhead incurred by Prospect Administration in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of our chief compliance officer and chief financial officer and his staff. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the reimbursement was approximately $1,117 and $840, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the reimbursement was approximately $2,233 and $1,640, 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.

Managerial Assistance

As a business development company, we offer, and must provide upon request, managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. This assistance could involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of our portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising officers of portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial guidance. As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, $256 and $45 of managerial assistance fees remain on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as a payable to the Administrator.

Note 10. 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 material litigation as of December 31, 2011.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

On January 4, 2012, Energy Solutions sold its gas gathering and processing assets (“Gas Solutions”) for a sale price of $200,502, including a potential earnout of $28,000 that will be paid based on the future performance of Gas Solutions. After expenses, including structuring fees of $9,966 paid to us, Energy Solutions received approximately $148,687 in cash and an additional $10,000 is being held in escrow. Currently, our loans to Energy Solutions remain outstanding and are collateralized by the cash held by Energy Solutions as a result of the sale transaction. The accounting for the sale of Gas Solutions has yet to be finalized, but will not result in any dividend income or realized gain recognition by us until cash payments are received from Energy Solutions.

On January 9, 2012, Arrowhead General Insurance Agency, Inc. repaid the $27,000 loan receivable to us.

On January 12, 2012, we made a follow-on investment of $16,500 to purchase 86.8% of the Class D Notes in CIFC Funding 2011-I, Ltd.

On January 17, 2012, we provided $18,332 of secured second-lien financing to a financial services processing company purchased by a leading private equity sponsor.

On January 25, 2012, we issued 85,252 shares of our common stock in connection with the dividend reinvestment plan.

On January 31, 2012, Aircraft Fasteners International, LLC repaid the $7,441 loan receivable to us.

On February 2, 2012, NRG was sold to an outside buyer for $123,258. In conjunction with the sale, the $37,218 loan that was outstanding was repaid. We also received a $26,936 make-whole fee for early repayment of the outstanding loan, which will be recorded as interest income in the quarter ending March 31, 2012. Further, we received a $3,800 advisory fee for the transaction, which will be recorded as other income in the quarter ending March 31, 2012. After expenses, including the make whole and advisory fees discussed above, $40,886 was available to be distributed to stockholders. While our 408 shares of NRG common stock represented 67.1% of the ownership, we only received net proceeds of $25,991 as our contribution to the escrow amount was proportionately higher than the other shareholders. In connection with the sales, we will recognize a realized gain of $24,810 in the results for the quarter ended March 31,

2012. In total, we received proceeds of $93,977 at closing. In addition, there is $11,125 being held in escrow of which 80% is due to us upon release of the escrowed amounts. This will be recognized as additional gain when and if received.

Between January 30, 2012 and February 2, 2012, we repurchased $4,963 of our August 2016 convertible bonds at a price of 97.5, including commissions. The transactions will result in our recognizing $10 of loss in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

On February 6, 2012, we announced the declaration of monthly dividends in the following amounts and with the following dates:

· $0.101450 per share for February 2012 to holders of record on February 29, 2012 with a payment date of March 23, 2012;

Overview

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 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 reduce our exposure to the energy industry, and our holdings in the energy and energy related industries now represent less than 13% of our investment portfolio.

The aggregate value of our portfolio investments was $1,716,603 and $1,463,010 as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, our net cost of investments increased by $212,477, or 14.8%, as a result of thirteen new investments, several follow-on investments and a revolver advance of $373,943, accrued payment-in-kind interest of $3,329 and accretion of purchase discount of $2,575, while we received full repayment on six investments, sold one investment, received several partial prepayments, amortization payments and a revolver repayment totaling $166,261 and recognized a net realized loss of $1,109. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, Deb Shops filed for bankruptcy and a plan for reorganization was proposed. The plan, which is expected to be approved by the bankruptcy court, will eliminate our debt position with no payment to us. As a result, we determined that the impairment of Deb Shops was other-than-temporary and recorded a realized loss of $14,607 for the full amount of the amortized cost. This realized loss was primarily offset by our sale of 392 shares of NRG common stock in December 2011 for which we realized a gain of $12,131.

Compared to the end of last fiscal year (ended June 30, 2011), net assets increased by $58,127 or 5.2% during the six months ended December 31, 2011, from $1,114,357 to $1,172,484. This increase resulted from the issuance of new shares of our common stock (less offering costs) in the amount of $14,895, dividend reinvestments of $5,393, and another $104,392 from operations. These increases, in turn, were offset by $66,553 in dividend distributions to our stockholders. The $104,392 increase in net assets resulting from operations is net of the following: net investment income of $64,385, net realized loss on investments of $1,109 and an increase in net assets due to changes in net unrealized appreciation of investments of $41,116.

On November 7, 2011, we announced the declaration of monthly dividends in the following amounts and with the following dates:

· $0.101375 per share for November 2011 to holders of record on November 30, 2011 with a payment date of December 22, 2011;

· $0.101425 per share for January 2012 to holders of record on January 31, 2012 with a payment date of February 17, 2012.

Investment Holdings

As of December 31, 2011, we continue to pursue our investment strategy and continue to diversify the portfolio. In May 2007, we changed our name to “Prospect Capital Corporation” and terminated our policy to invest at least 80% of our net assets in energy companies. Since that time, we have reduced our exposure to the energy industry, and our holdings in the energy and energy related industries now represent less than 13% of our investment portfolio.

At December 31 2011, approximately $1,716,603 or 146.4% of our net assets are invested in 75 long-term portfolio investments and 5.2% of our net assets are invested in money market funds.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, we originated $377,272 of new investments. Our origination efforts are focused primarily on secured lending, to reduce the risk in the portfolio, investing primarily in first lien loans, though we also continue to close selected junior debt and equity investments. In addition to targeting investments senior in corporate capital structures with our new originations, we have also increased our origination business mix of third party private equity sponsor owned companies, which tend to have more third party equity capital supporting our debt investments than non-sponsor transactions. Our performing loan portfolio’s annualized current yield decreased from 12.3% as of June 30, 2011 to 12.2% as of December 31, 2011 across all long-term debt investments. We expect Prospect’s current asset yield may continue to decline modestly as we continue to reduce credit risk. Generally, we have seen a decrease in interest rates on loans issued during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and the six months ending December 31, 2011 in comparison to the rates in effect prior to June 30, 2010 as we continue to reduce the risk profile of the portfolio. Monetization of other equity positions that we hold is not included in this yield calculation. In many of our portfolio companies, we hold equity positions, ranging from minority interests to majority stakes, which we expect over time to contribute to our investment returns. Some of these equity positions include features such as contractual minimum internal rates of returns, preferred distributions, flip structures and other features expected to generate additional investment returns, as well as contractual protections and preferences over junior equity, in addition to the yield and security offered by our cash flow and collateral debt protections.

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

As of December 31, 2011, we own controlling interests in AIRMALL USA, Inc. (“AIRMALL”), Ajax Rolled Ring & Machine, Inc. (“Ajax”), AWCNC, LLC, Borga, Inc., C&J Cladding LLC, Energy Solutions, Integrated Contract Services, Inc. (“ICS”), Manx Energy, Inc. (“Manx”), NMMB Holdings, Inc. (“NMMB”), NRG, Nupla Corporation and R-V Industries, Inc. (“R-V”). We also own an affiliated interest in BNN Holdings Corp. f/k/a Biotronic NeuroNetwork (“Biotronic”), Boxercraft Incorporated (“Boxercraft”), Smart, LLC, and Sport Helmets Holdings, LLC (“Sport Helmets”).

Investment Valuation

In determining the fair value of our portfolio investments at December 31, 2011 the Audit Committee considered valuations from the independent valuation firm and from management having an aggregate range of $1,659,592 to $1,825,520, excluding money market investments.

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

The Board of Directors looked at several factors in determining where within the range to value the asset including: recent operating and financial trends for the asset, independent ratings obtained from third parties and comparable multiples for recent sales of companies within the industry. The composite of all these analysis, applied to each investment, was a total valuation of $1,716,603, excluding money market investments.

Our portfolio companies are generally 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.

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 Ajax 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, 2011, we control 77.68% of the fully-diluted common and preferred equity. The principal balance of our senior debt to Ajax was $20,387 and new debt was $15,035 as of December 31, 2011.

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 rebound in 2010 and 2011 following the decline in 2009 due to the global macroeconomic crisis. Ajax’s EBITDA has experienced a 133% and 82% year-over-year improvement in 2010 and 2011, respectively.

The Board of Directors increased the fair value of our investment in Ajax to $40,428 as of December 31, 2011, a reduction of $1,051 from its amortized cost, compared to the $7,822 unrealized depreciation recorded at June 30, 2011.

Energy Solutions Holdings Inc. (f/k/a Gas Solutions Holdings, Inc.)

Gas Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“Gas Solutions”) is an investment that we completed in September 2004 in which we own 100% of the equity. Gas Solutions is a midstream gathering and processing business located in east Texas. We have provided additional capital for growth initiatives, acquisitions and other capital needs subsequent to our initial investment.

In December 2011, we completed a reorganization of Gas Solutions renaming the company Energy Solutions and transferring ownership of other operating companies owned by us and operating within the energy industry with the intent of strategically expanding Energy Solutions operations across energy sectors. As part of the reorganization, we transferred our equity interests in CCEHI, CCEI, Freedom Marine and Yatesville to Energy Solutions. On December 28, 2011, we made a follow-on investment of $4,750 to support the acquisition of a new vessel by Vessel Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Freedom Marine.

In determining the value of Energy Solutions, we have utilized two valuation techniques to determine the value of the investment. Our Board of Directors has determined the value to be $153,467 for our debt and equity positions at December 31, 2011 based upon a combination of an asset purchase analysis for Gas Solutions and a liquidation analysis for our interests in Freedom Marine. At December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, Energy Solutions, including the underlying portfolio companies affected by the reorganization, was valued at $90,221 and $51,491 above its amortized cost, respectively.

Integrated Contract Services, Inc.

ICS is an investment that we entered into 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. THS provides outsourced medical staffing and security staffing services to governmental and commercial enterprises. In November 2009, THS was informed that the U.S. Air Force would not exercise its option to renew its contract. THS continues to solicit new contracts to replace the revenue lost when the Air Force contract ended. As part of its strategy to recovery from the loss of the Air Force contract, in 2010 THS started a new business, Vets Securing America, Inc. (“VSA”), to provide out-sourced security guards staffed primarily using retired military veterans. During the year ended June 30, 2011 and the six months ended December 31, 2011, we made follow-on secured debt investments of $1,708 and $874, respectively, to support the ongoing operations of THS and VSA. In October 2011, we sold a building acquired from ESA for $894. The proceeds were used to reduce the outstanding loan balance due to us.

Based upon an analysis of the liquidation value of the ESA assets and the enterprise value of THS/VSA, our Board of Directors determined the fair value of our investment in ICS to be $1,106 at December 31, 2011, a reduction of $17,093 from its amortized cost, compared to the $16,453 unrealized loss recorded at June 30, 2011.

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 year ended June 30, 2011, we made a follow-on secured debt investments of $750 in Manx to support ongoing operations.

The Board of Directors decreased the fair value of our investment in Manx to $436 as of December 31, 2011, a reduction of $18,583 from its amortized cost, compared to the $17,707 unrealized loss recorded at June 30, 2011.

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. Two of our portfolio companies have experienced such volatility due to improved operating results - Energy Solutions and NRG. As a result of improved operations and the resulting significant

increase in valuation during the six months ended December 31, 2011, Energy Solutions sold its equity interests in the underlying Gas Solutions entities and we exited our investment in NRG in February 2012. (See Recent Developments.) The pending sale prices assisted in the determination of fair value for our equity interests as of December 31, 2011. The value of our equity position in Energy Solutions, including our equity positions in the underlying portfolio companies affected by the reorganization, has increased to $109,536 as of December 31, 2011, a premium of $100,743 to its cost, compared to the $60,863 unrealized gain recorded at June 30, 2011. The value of our equity position in NRG has increased to $50,257 as of December 31, 2011, a premium of $49,077 to its cost, compared to the $30,086 unrealized gain recorded at June 30, 2011. Two other portfolio companies with equity investments also experienced volatility due to improved operating results and experienced meaningful increases in valuation during the six months ended December 31, 2011 - Ajax and R-V. The valuation of Ajax increased due to improved operating results and emergent customer base. R-V experienced improved operating results. The value of our equity position in Ajax has increased to $5,006 as of December 31, 2011, a discount of $1,051 to its cost, compared to the $6,057 unrealized loss recorded at June 30, 2011. The value of our equity position in R-V has increased to $12,806 as of December 31, 2011, a premium of $6,037 to its cost, compared to the $1,348 unrealized gain recorded at June 30, 2011. Five of the other controlled investments have been valued at discounts to the original investment. Seven of the control investments are valued at premiums to the original investment amounts. Overall, at December 31, 2011, the control investments are valued at $113,056 above their amortized cost.

We hold four affiliate investments at December 31, 2011. The affiliate investments reported strong operating results with valuations remaining relatively consistent from June 30, 2011. Our equity investment in Biotronic experienced the most meaningful decrease in valuation as prior to June 30, 2011 we anticipated that the company would be sold at a substantial premium to our cost basis. This sales process was discontinued during the six months ended December 31, 2011 as the buyer and Biotronic could not agree to terms acceptable to each party. The value of our equity position in Biotronic has decreased to $388 as of December 31, 2011, a discount of $2,491 to its amortized cost, compared to the $4,127 unrealized gain recorded at June 30, 2011. The other three affiliate investments are valued at amortized cost or higher. Overall, at December 31, 2011, affiliate investments are valued $8,384 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. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, our investment in Stryker experienced the most meaningful decrease in valuation due to declining operating results and a reduction in current natural gas prices. The value of our investment in Stryker Energy, LLC (“Stryker”) has decreased to $7,662 as of December 31, 2011, a discount of $25,049 to its amortized cost, compared to the $6,706 unrealized loss recorded at June 30, 2011. The decrease was due primarily to a drop in natural gas prices during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and continuing to January 2012. Our other Non-control/Non-affiliate investments did not experience significant changes in operations. A few portfolio companies experienced decreases in valuations due to the general economic decline and increased market rates for middle market loans – ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. and New Meatco Provisions, LLC. The remaining investments did not experience significant changes in valuation. Overall, at December 31, 2011, Non-control/Non-affiliate investments are valued $53,048 below their amortized cost.

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, Senior Convertible Notes, which we issued in December 2010 and February 2011 and our equity capital, which is comprised entirely of common equity. The following table shows the Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Convertible Notes amounts and outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011:

	As of December 31, 2011				As of June 30, 2011


	Facility Amount		Amount Outstanding		Facility Amount		Amount Outstanding


Revolving Credit Facility	$	400,000	$	252,000	$	325,000	$	84,200
Senior Convertible Notes	$	322,500	$	322,500	$	322,500	$	322,500

The following table shows the contractual maturity of our Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Convertible Notes at December 31, 2011:

	Payments Due By Period


	Less Than 1 Year		1 - 3 Years		More Than 3 Years


Revolving Credit Facility	$	—	$	252,000	$	—
Senior Convertible Notes	$	—	$	—	$	322,500

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 $750,000. 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 through PCF (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 through PCF (“Syndicated Facility”). The lenders have extended current commitments of $400,000 under the Syndicated Facility. As additional investments that are eligible, transferred to PCF and pledged under the Syndicated Facility, PCF will generate additional availability up to the $400,000 commitment limit. 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, 2011 and June 30, 2011, PCF had the ability to borrow up to $371,378 and $255,673, respectively, under its Syndicated Facility based on the assets pledged as collateral at that time, of which $252,000 and $84,200 was drawn, respectively. The Syndicated Facility requires us to transfer investments to PCF and pledge assets as collateral in order to borrow under the credit facility. At December 31, 2011, the investments used as collateral for the Syndicated Facility had an aggregate market value of $966,553, which represents 82.4% of net assets. These assets have been sold to Prospect Capital Funding, LLC, a bankruptcy remote entity, which owns the assets and as such, these assets are not available to the general creditors of us. Prospect Capital Funding, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, holds $857,017 of these investments at market value as of December 31, 2011. The release of any assets from Prospect Capital Funding, LLC requires the approval of Rabobank as facility agent.

The Syndicated Facility bears interest at one-month Libor plus 325 basis points, subject to a minimum Libor floor of 100 basis points. The maintenance of this facility requires us to pay a fee for the amount not drawn upon. 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.

Senior Convertible Notes

On December 21, 2010, we issued $150,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 6.25% senior convertible notes due 2015 (“2015 Notes”) for net proceeds following underwriting expenses of approximately $145,200. Interest on the 2015 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 2015 Notes mature on December 15, 2015 unless converted earlier. The 2015 Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion rate and conversion rate at December 31, 2011 of 88.0902 and 88.1056

shares of common stock, respectively, per $1,000 principal amount of 2015 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $11.35 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The conversion rate for the 2015 Notes will be increased if monthly cash dividends paid to common shares exceed the rate of $0.101125 cents per share, subject to adjustment.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded $9,759 and $18,719 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs as interest expense, respectively.

Net Asset Value

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, we raised $14,895 of additional equity, net of offering costs, by issuing 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. The following table shows the calculation of net asset value per share as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011:

	As of December 31, 2011		As of June 30, 2011
Net Assets	$	1,172,484	$	1,114,357
Shares of common stock outstanding	109,691,051		107,606,690
Net asset value per share	$	10.69	$	10.36

At December 31, 2011, we had 109,691,051 of our common stock issued and outstanding.

Results of Operations

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $64,492 and $31,940, respectively, representing $0.59 and $0.38 per weighted average share, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we experienced net unrealized and realized gains of $27,984 or approximately $0.26 per weighted average share primarily from significant write-ups of our investments in Energy Solutions and NRG, and our sale of NRG common stock for which we realized a gain of $12,131. These instances of appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation in Babson, Biotronic, NMMB and Stryker. Net investment income increased on a weighted average per share basis from $0.23 to $0.33 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. This increase is primarily due to an increase in dividend income received from Energy Solutions and NRG. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we experienced net unrealized and realized gains of $12,860 or approximately $0.15 per weighted average share primarily from significant write-ups of our investments in Biotronic, Fischbein, Iron Horse, Maverick Healthcare, LLC (“Maverick”), NRG and R-V, and our sale of Miller Petroleum, Inc. (“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.

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $104,392 and $57,520, respectively, representing $0.96 and $0.73 per weighted average share, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, we experienced net unrealized and realized gains of $40,007 or approximately $0.37 per weighted average share primarily from significant write-ups of our investments in Ajax, Energy Solutions, NRG and R-V, and our sale of NRG common stock for which we realized a gain of $12,131. These instances of unrealized appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation in Biotronic and Stryker, and the impairment of Deb Shops due to bankruptcy for which we recorded a realized loss for the full amount of the amortized cost. Net investment income increased on a weighted average per share basis from $0.51 to $0.59 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. This increase is primarily due to an increase in dividend income received from Energy Solutions and NRG. This increase is partially offset by a decline in our annualized current yield on portfolio investments. During the six months ended December 31, 2010, we experienced net unrealized and realized gains of $17,445 or approximately $0.22 per weighted average share primarily from significant write-ups of our investments in AIRMALL, Ajax, The Copernicus Group, Inc., 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.

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. These companies are typically not issuing securities rated investment grade, have limited resources, have limited operating history, have concentrated product lines or customers, 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, fees generated from 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 $67,293 and $33,300 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Investment income was $122,605 and $68,512 for the six months ended, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, the increase in investment income is primarily the result of a larger income producing portfolio and the deployment of additional capital in revenue-producing assets through increased origination and increased dividends received from Energy Solutions and NRG. The following table describes the various components of investment income and the related levels of debt investments:

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

	2011		2010		2011		2010

Interest income	$	45,528	$	27,362	$	87,415	$	56,283
Dividend income	19,637		3,371		27,187		5,565
Other income	2,098		2,567		8,003		6,664
Total investment income	$	67,263	$	33,300	$	122,605	$	68,512

Average debt principal of performing investments	$	1,376,917	$	734,204	$	1,346,000	$	729,744
Weighted-average interest rate earned	13.23%		14.91%		12.99%		15.43%

Average interest income producing assets have increased from $734,204 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $1,376,917 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The average yield on interest bearing assets decreased from 14.91% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to 13.23% for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Average interest income producing assets have increased from $729,744 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to $1,346,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The average yield on interest bearing assets decreased from 15.43% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to 12.99% for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in annual returns is primarily the result of accretion on the assets acquired from Patriot on which we recognized $5,960 and $2,575 during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Without these adjustments, the weighted average interest rates earned on debt investments would have been 12.61% and 13.79% for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Generally, we have seen a decrease in interest rates on loans issued during our fiscal year 2011 and the three and six months ending December 31, 2011 in comparison to the rates in effect prior to December 30, 2010 as we continue to reduce the risk profile of the portfolio. The average yield on interest bearing assets increased from 12.76% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 13.23% for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase is the result of $694 of accelerated accretion resulting from the repayment of Mac & Massey Holdings. Without this adjustment, the weighted average interest rates earned on debt investments would have been 12.76% for three months ended September 30, 2011 and 13.02% for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Investment income is also generated from dividends and other income. Dividend income increased from $3,371 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $19,637 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Dividend income increased from $5,565 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to $27,187 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in dividend income is primarily attributed to an increase in the level of dividends received during the respective three and six month periods from our investments in Energy Solutions and NRG due to increased profits generated by the portfolio companies. We received dividends from Energy Solutions of $10,800 and $2,100 during the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We received dividends from Energy Solutions of $14,300 and $3,850 during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We received dividends from NRG of $6,711 and $200 during the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We received dividends from NRG of $9,911 and $200 during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Other income is generated primarily from structuring fees. Comparing the six months ended December 31, 2010 to the

six months ended December 31, 2011, income from other sources increased from $6,664 to $8,003. This $1,339 increase is primarily due to $7,356 of structuring fees recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2011 primarily from the Capstone, Totes and VanDeMark originations, in comparison to $5,675 of structuring fees recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2010 primarily related to AIRMALL, American Gilsonite, JHH Holdings, Inc., Progrexion, Royal, Snacks Holding Corporation, and VPSI.

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 $30,755 and $14,220 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Operating expenses were $58,220 and $28,437 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The base investment advisory expenses were $8,825 and $4,903 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The base investment advisory expenses were $17,036 and $9,179 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. This increase is directly related to our growth in total assets. For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we incurred $9,127 and $4,769, respectively, of income incentive fees. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we incurred $16,096 and $10,018, respectively, of income incentive fees. The $4,358 and $6,078 increase in the income incentive fee for the respective three-month and six-month periods are driven by an increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income of $21,786 and $30,388 for the respective three-month and six-month periods primarily due to an increase in interest income from a larger asset base and increased dividend income generated by our investments in Energy Solutions and NRG. No capital gains incentive fee has yet been incurred pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we incurred $9,759 and $18,719, respectively, of expenses related to our Syndicated Facility and Senior Convertible Notes. This compares with expenses of $2,261 and $4,522 incurred during the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, respectively. These expenses are related directly to the leveraging capacity put into place for each of those periods and the levels of indebtedness actually undertaken during those quarters. The table below describes the various expenses of our Syndicated Facility and Senior Convertible Notes and the related indicators of leveraging capacity and indebtedness during these periods.

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

	2011		2010		2011		2010

Interest on borrowings	$	7,029	$	512	$	13,248	$	1,461
Amortization of deferred financing costs	2,406		1,144		4,494		2,134
Commitment and other fees	324		605		977		927
Total	$	9,759	$	2,261	$	18,719	$	4,522

Weighted-average debt outstanding	$	547,558	$	41,139	$	496,998	$	64,249
Weighted-average interest rate on borrowings	5.02%		4.87%		5.22%		4.45%
Facility amount at beginning of period	$	400,000	$	240,000	$	325,000	$	210,000

The increase in interest expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 is primarily due to the issuance of Senior Convertible Notes on December 21, 2010 and February 18, 2011 for which we incurred $4,585 and $9,458 of interest expense, respectively.

As our asset base has grown and we have added complexity to our capital raising activities, 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 two years, Prospect Administration has increased staffing levels

along with costs passed through. The allocation of overhead expense from Prospect Administration was $1,117 and $840 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The allocation of overhead expense from Prospect Administration was $2,233 and $1,640 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. As our portfolio continues to grow, we expect to continue to increase the size of our administrative and financial staff on a basis that provides increasing returns to scale. Other allocated expenses from Prospect Administration will continue to increase along with the increase in staffing and asset base.

Total operating expenses, net of investment advisory fees and interest costs (“Other Operating Expenses”), were $3,044 and $2,287 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Other Operating Expenses were $6,369 and $4,718 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The $1,651 increase in Other Operating Expenses for the respective six-month period is primarily due to increased size of our portfolio, for which we have incurred higher costs for legal and valuation services and administrative expenses.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income represents the difference between investment income and operating expenses. Our net investment income (“NII”) was $36,508 and $19,080 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, or $0.33 per share and 0.23 per share, respectively. The $17,428 increase for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is primarily due to increases of $18,166 and $16,266 in interest income and dividend income, respectively, due to the increased size of our portfolio for which we have recognized additional interest income and an increased level of dividends received primarily from our investments in Energy Solutions and NRG. The $33,963 increase in investment income is offset by an increase in operating expenses of $16,535, primarily due to a $8,280 increase in advisory fees due to the growing size of our portfolio and related income, and $7,498 of additional interest and credit facility expenses.

Our NII was $64,385 and $40,075 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, or $0.59 per share and 0.51 per share, respectively. The $24,310 increase for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is primarily due to increases of $31,132 and $21,622 in interest income and dividend income, respectively, due to the increased size of our portfolio for which we have recognized additional interest income and an increased level of dividends received primarily from our investments in GSHI and NRG. The $54,093 increase in investment income is offset by an increase in operating expenses of $29,783, primarily due to a $13,935 increase in advisory fees due to the growing size of our portfolio and related income, and $14,197 of additional interest and credit facility expenses. We anticipate NII per share will continue to increase as we utilize prudent term leverage to finance our growth.

Net Realized Gain (Loss), Increase in Net Assets from Net Changes in Unrealized Appreciation

Net realized gain was $13,498 and $4,489 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Net realized (loss) gain was ($1,109) and $5,016 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The net realized gain for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was due primarily to the sale of NRG common stock for which we realized a gain of $12,131. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 this gain was offset by our impairment of Deb Shops. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, Deb Shops filed for bankruptcy and a plan for reorganization was proposed. The plan, which is expected to be approved by the bankruptcy court, will eliminate our debt position with no payment to us. As a result, we determined that the impairment of Deb Shops was other-than-temporary and recorded a realized loss of $14,607 for the full amount of the amortized cost. 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.

Net increase in net assets from changes in unrealized appreciation was $14,486 and $8,371 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, the $14,486 increase in net assets from the net change in unrealized appreciation was driven by significant write-ups of our investments in Energy Solutions and NRG. These instances of appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation in Babson, Biotronic, NMMB and Stryker. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, the $8,371 increase in net assets from the net change in unrealized appreciation 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.

Net increase in net assets from changes in unrealized appreciation was $41,116 and $12,429 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, the $41,116

These instances of unrealized appreciation were partially offset by unrealized depreciation in Biotronic and Stryker.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our operating activities used $119,765 and $176,337 of cash, respectively. Financing activities provided $120,134 and $179,275 of cash during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which included the payments of dividends of $60,932 and $41,483, during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

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

Our primary sources of funds have been issuances of debt and equity. We have and may 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, 2011, we borrowed $442,300 and made repayments totaling $274,500 under our revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2011, we had $252,000 outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility and $322,500 outstanding on our Senior Convertible notes (See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements).

On October 21, 2011, our Registration Statement on Form N-2 was declared effective by the SEC. Under this Shelf Registration Statement, we can issue up to $750,000 of additional equity securities.

We also continue to generate liquidity through public and private stock offerings.

On July 18, 2011, we issued 1,500,000 shares in connection with the exercise of an overallotment option granted with the June 21, 2011 offering of 10,000,000 shares which were delivered June 24, 2011, raising an additional $15,225 of gross proceeds and $14,895 of net proceeds.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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