    NOTES
      TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    MAY
      31, 2007
    (UNAUDITED)
    | 1. | Organization | 
Tortoise
      Capital Resources Corporation (the "Company") was organized as a Maryland
      corporation on September 8, 2005, and is a non-diversified closed-end management
      investment company focused on the U.S. energy infrastructure
      sector.  The Company invests primarily in privately held and micro-cap
      public companies operating in the midstream and downstream segments, and to
      a
      lesser extent the upstream segment.  The Company has elected to be
      regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company
      Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company is externally managed by
      Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C., an investment advisor specializing in
      managing portfolios of securities of MLPs and other energy
      companies.
    | 2. | Significant
                Accounting Policies | 
A.
      Use of Estimates– The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
      liabilities, recognition of distribution income and disclosure of contingent
      assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
      statements.  Actual results could differ from those
      estimates.
    B.
      Investment Valuation– The Company invests primarily in illiquid
      securities including debt and equity securities of privately-held
      companies.  The investments generally are subject to restrictions on
      resale, have no established trading market and are fair valued on a quarterly
      basis.  Fair value is intended to be the amount for which an
      investment could be exchanged in an orderly disposition over a reasonable period
      of time between willing parties other than in a forced liquidation or
      sale.  Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the fair
      values of such investments, which are determined in accordance with procedures
      approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, may differ materially from the
      values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the
      investments.  The Company’s Board of Directors may consider other
      methods of valuing investments as appropriate and in conformity with U.S.
      generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company has also
      retained an independent valuation firm to provide valuation assistance for
      particular investments, as requested by the Board of Directors.
    The
      process for determining the fair value of a security of a private investment
      begins with determining the enterprise value of the company that issued the
      security.  The fair value of the investment is based on the enterprise
      value at which a company could be sold in an orderly disposition over a
      reasonable period of time between willing parties.  There is no one
      methodology to determine enterprise value and for any one company, enterprise
      value may best be expressed as a range of fair values, from which a single
      estimate of enterprise value will be derived.
    If
      the
      portfolio company has an adequate enterprise value to support the repayment
      of
      its debt, the fair value of the Company’s loan or debt security normally
      corresponds to cost unless the portfolio company’s condition or other factors
      lead to a determination of fair value at a different amount.  When
      receiving warrants or free equity securities (“nominal cost equity”), the
      Company allocates the cost basis of the nominal cost equity at the time of
      origination, if any.  The fair value of equity interests in portfolio
      companies is determined based on various factors, including the enterprise
      value
      remaining for equity holders after repayment of debt and other preference
      capital, and other pertinent factors such as recent offers to purchase a
      company, recent transactions involving the purchase or sale of equity
      securities, or other liquidation events.  The determined equity values
      are generally discounted when holding a minority position, when restrictions
      on
      resale are present, when there are specific concerns about the receptivity
      of
      the capital markets to a specific company at a certain time, or when other
      factors are present.
    For
        freely tradable equity securities that are listed on a securities exchange,
        the
        Company values those securities at the closing price on that exchange on
        the
        valuation date.  If the security is listed on more than one exchange,
        the Company uses the price of the exchange that it generally considers to
        be the
        principal exchange on which the security is traded.  Securities listed
        on the NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which
        may not
        necessarily represent the last sale price.  If there has been no sale
        on such exchange or NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the mean
        between bid and asked price on such day.
    C.
        Interest and Fee Income– Interest income is recorded on the accrual
        basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be
        collected.  When investing in instruments with an original issue
        discount or payment-in-kind interest, the Company will accrue interest income
        during the life of the investment, even though the Company will not necessarily
        be receiving cash as the interest is accrued.  Fee income will include
        fees, if any, for due diligence, structuring, commitment and facility fees,
        transaction services, consulting services and management services rendered
        to
        portfolio companies and other third parties.  Commitment and facility
        fees generally are recognized as income over the life of the underlying loan,
        whereas due diligence, structuring, transaction service, consulting and
        management service fees generally are recognized as income when services
        are
        rendered.  For the three and six-month periods ended May 31, 2007, the
        Company received no fee income.
    D.
      Security Transactions and Investment Income– Security transactions are
      accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade
      date).  Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost
      basis.  Distributions received from the Company’s investments in
      limited partnerships and limited liability companies generally are comprised
      of
      ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital.  The Company
      records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at
      the
      time such distributions are received.  Such estimates are based on
      information available from each company and/or other industry
      sources.  These estimates may subsequently be revised based on
      information received from the entity after their tax reporting periods are
      concluded, as the actual character of these distributions are not known until
      after the fiscal year-end of the Company.
    For
      the
      period from December 8, 2005 (Commencement of Operations) through November
      30,
      2006, the Company estimated the allocation of investment income and return
      of
      capital for the distributions received from its portfolio companies within
      the
      Statement of Operations.  For this period, the Company had estimated
      approximately 8 percent as investment income and approximately 92 percent as
      return of capital.
    During
      the current period, the Company reclassified the amount of investment income
      and
      return of capital it recognized based on the 2006 tax reporting information
      received from the individual portfolio companies.  This
      reclassification amounted to a decrease in pre-tax net investment income of
      approximately $314,000 or $0.04 per share ($195,000 or $0.02 per share, net
      of
      deferred tax benefit), an increase in unrealized appreciation of investments
      of
      approximately $300,000 or $0.03 per share ($186,000 or $0.02 per share, net
      of
      deferred tax expense) and an increase in realized gains of approximately $14,000
      or $0.002 per share ($9,000 or $0.001 per share, net of deferred tax expense)
      for the period from December 8, 2005 (Commencement of Operations) through
      November 30, 2006.  The reclassification is reflected in the
      accompanying Statements of Operations for the three-month and six-month periods
      ended May 31, 2007.
    E.
      Dividends to Stockholders–The amount of any quarterly dividends will be
      determined by the Board of Directors. Distributions to stockholders are recorded
      on the ex-dividend date. The character of distributions made during the year
      may
      differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax
      purposes.  For the six-month period ended May 31, 2007, the Company’s
      dividends, for book purposes, were comprised entirely of return of
      capital.  For the year ended November 30, 2006, the Company’s
      dividends, for book purposes were comprised of 61 percent investment income
      and
      39 percent return of capital, and for tax purposes were comprised of 42 percent
      investment income and 58 percent return of capital.  Had the
      information from the 2006 tax reporting information from the individual
      portfolio companies as described in the paragraph above been obtained prior
      to
      November 30, 2006, the Company's dividends, for book purposes, would have been
      comprised of 31percent investment income and 69 percent return of capital. 
The tax character of dividends paid for the year ended November 30, 2007 will
      be
      determined subsequent to year-end.

        F.
      Federal and State Income Taxation– The Company, as a corporation, is
      obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. The Company
      invests its assets primarily in limited partnerships (LPs) or limited liability
      companies (LLCs), which are treated as partnerships for federal and state income
      tax purposes. As a limited partner, the Company reports its allocable share
      of
      taxable income in computing its own taxable income. The Company’s tax expense or
      benefit will be included in the Statement of Operations based on the component
      of income or gains (losses) to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred
      income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
      carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
      and
      the amounts used for income tax purposes.
    G.
      Organization Expenses and Offering Costs - The Company is
      responsible for paying all organization and offering expenses. Offering costs
      paid by the Company were charged as a reduction of paid-in capital at the
      completion of the Company’s initial public offering, and amounted to $850,574
      (excluding underwriter commissions).  Organizational expenses in the
      amount of $88,906 were expensed prior to the commencement of
      operations.
    H.
      Indemnifications - Under the Company’s organizational documents, its
      officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising
      out
      of the performance of their duties to the Company. In addition, in the normal
      course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that provide general
      indemnification to other parties. The Company’s maximum exposure under these
      arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made
      against the Company that have not yet occurred, and may not
      occur.   However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses
      pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be
      remote.
    I.  Warrants
      - The Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of November 30, 2006 reflects
      a revision to the warrants and additional paid-in capital
      accounts.  After further evaluation of the underlying assumptions and
      characteristics of the warrants, it was determined that $1,104,137 should be
      attributed to the value of the warrants and additional paid-in capital reduced
      by the same amount.  This revision has no impact on net assets
      applicable to common stockholders or net asset value per common share
      outstanding.
    J.
      Recent Accounting Pronouncements– In July 2006, the Financial
      Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting
      for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48).  FIN 48 provides guidance
      for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and
      disclosed in the financial statements.  FIN 48 requires the evaluation
      of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the
      Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are
“more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax
      authority.  Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning
      after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open years as of the
      effective date.  At this time, the Company is evaluating the
      implications of FIN 48 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet
      been determined.
    In
      September 2006, FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
      No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single
      authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring
      fair
      value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS
      No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by
      existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued
      for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
      those fiscal years. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company in the year
      beginning December 1, 2007. The changes to current U.S. generally accepted
      accounting principles from the application of this statement relate to the
      definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the
      expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company has recently
      begun to evaluate the application of the statement, and is not in a position
      at
      this time to evaluate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Company’s
      financial statements.
    | 3. | Concentration
                of Risk | 
The
      Company’s goal is to provide stockholders with a high level of total return with
      an emphasis on dividends and dividend growth.  The Company invests
      primarily in privately issued unsecured subordinated debt and equity securities
      within the U.S. energy infrastructure sector that will generally be expected
      to
      pay interest or dividends on a current basis.  The Company seeks to
      obtain enhanced returns through warrants or other equity conversion features
      within certain subordinated debt securities in which the Company
      invests.  The Company may, for defensive purposes, temporarily invest
      all or a significant portion of its assets in investment grade securities,
      short-term debt securities and cash or cash equivalents. To the extent the
      Company uses this strategy it may not achieve its investment
      objective.
    | 4. | Agreements | 
The
      Company has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Tortoise Capital
      Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”).  Under the terms of the agreement,
      the Adviser is paid a fee consisting of a base management fee and an incentive
      fee.
    The
      base
      management fee is 0.375 percent (1.5 percent annualized) of the Company’s
      average monthly Managed Assets, calculated and paid quarterly in arrears within
      thirty days of the end of each fiscal quarter.  The term “Managed
      Assets” as used in the calculation of the management fee means total assets
      (including any assets purchased with or attributable to borrowed funds) minus
      accrued liabilities other than (1) deferred taxes, (2) debt entered into for
      the
      purpose of leverage, and (3) the aggregate liquidation preference of any
      outstanding preferred shares.  The base management fee for any partial
      quarter is appropriately prorated.
    The
      incentive fee consists of two parts.  The first part, the investment
      income fee, is equal to 15 percent of the excess, if any, of the Company’s Net
      Investment Income for the fiscal quarter over a quarterly hurdle rate equal
      to 2
      percent (8 percent annualized), and multiplied, in either case, by the Company’s
      average monthly Net Assets for the quarter.  “Net Assets” means the
      Managed Assets less deferred taxes, debt entered into for the purposes of
      leverage and the aggregate liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred
      shares.  “Net Investment Income” means interest income (including
      accrued interest that we have not yet received in cash), dividend and
      distribution income from equity investments (but excluding that portion of
      cash
      distributions that are treated as a return of capital), and any other income
      (including any fees such as commitment, origination, syndication, structuring,
      diligence, monitoring, and consulting fees or other fees that the Company is
      entitled to receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the fiscal quarter,
      minus the Company’s operating expenses for such quarter (including the base
      management fee, expense reimbursements payable pursuant to the Investment
      Advisory Agreement, any interest expense, any accrued income taxes related
      to
      net investment income, and dividends paid on issued and outstanding preferred
      stock, if any, but excluding the incentive fee payable).  Net
      Investment Income also includes, in the case of investments with a deferred
      interest or income feature (such as original issue discount, debt or equity
      instruments with a payment-in-kind feature, and zero coupon securities), accrued
      income that the Company has not yet received in cash.  Net Investment
      Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses,
      or
      unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.  The investment
      income fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears within thirty (30)
      days of the end of each fiscal quarter, with the first potential fee commencing
      on December 8, 2006.  The investment income fee calculation is
      adjusted appropriately on the basis of the number of calendar days in the first
      fiscal quarter the fee accrues or the fiscal quarter during which the Agreement
      is in effect in the event of termination of the Agreement during any fiscal
      quarter.  The second part of the incentive fee payable to the Adviser,
      the capital gains fee, is equal to:  (A) 15 percent of (i) the
      Company’s net realized capital gains (realized capital gains less realized
      capital losses) on a cumulative basis from December 8, 2005 to the end of each
      fiscal year, less (ii) any unrealized capital depreciation at the end of such
      fiscal year, less (B) the aggregate amount of all capital gains fees paid to
      the
      Adviser in prior fiscal years.  The calculation of the capital gains
      fee includes any capital gains that result from the cash distributions that
      are
      treated as a return of capital.  In that regard, any such return of
      capital will be treated as a decrease in the cost basis of an investment for
      purposes of calculating the capital gains fee.  The capital gains fee
      is calculated and payable annually within thirty (30) days of the end of each
      fiscal year.  Realized capital gains on a security will be calculated
      as the excess of the net amount realized from the sale or other disposition
      of
      such security over the adjusted cost basis for the security.  Realized
      capital losses on a security will be calculated as the amount by which the
      net
    11
        amount
      realized
      from the sale or other disposition of such security is less than the adjusted
      cost basis of such security.  Unrealized capital depreciation on a
      security will be calculated as the amount by which the Company’s adjusted cost
      basis of such security exceeds the fair value of such security at the end of
      a
      fiscal year.  During the six-month period ended May 31, 2007, the
      Company accrued no investment income fees, and accrued $1,496,494 as a provision
      for capital gains incentive fees.  The provision for capital gains
      incentive fees is a result of the increase in fair value and unrealized
      appreciation of investments.  Pursuant to the Investment Advisory
      Agreement, the capital gains incentive fee is paid annually only if there are
      realization events and only if the calculation defined in the agreement results
      in an amount due.
    All
      fiscal year-end valuations are determined by the Company in accordance with
      U.S.
      generally accepted accounting principles, the 1940 Act, and the policies and
      procedures of the Company.  The Adviser shall use at least 25 percent
      of any capital gains fee received on or prior to December 8, 2007 to purchase
      the Company’s common stock in the open market.  In the event the
      Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated, the capital gains fee calculation
      shall be undertaken as of, and any resulting capital gains fee shall be paid
      within thirty (30) days of the date of termination.  The Advisor may,
      from time to time, waive or defer all or any part of the compensation described
      in the Investment Advisory Agreement.
    The
      Company has engaged U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, L.L.C. to serve as the Company’s
      fund accounting services provider.  The Company pays the provider a
      monthly fee computed at an annual rate of $24,000 on the first $50,000,000
      of
      the Company’s Net Assets, 0.0125 percent on the next $200,000,000 of Net Assets
      and 0.0075 percent on the balance of the Company’s Net Assets.
    The
      Adviser has been engaged as the Company’s administrator.  The Company
      pays the administrator a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.07 percent of
      aggregate average daily Managed Assets up to and including $150,000,000, 0.06
      percent of aggregate average daily Managed Assets on the next $100,000,000,
      0.05
      percent of aggregate average daily Managed Assets on the next $250,000,000,
      and
      0.02 percent on the balance.  This fee is calculated and accrued daily
      and paid quarterly in arrears.
    Computershare
      Trust Company, N.A. serves as the Company's transfer agent, dividend paying
      agent, and  agent for the automatic dividend reinvestment
      plan.
    U.S.
      Bank, N.A. serves as the Company's custodian. The Company pays the custodian
      a
      monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.015 percent on the first
      $200,000,000 of the Company's portfolio assets and 0.01 percent on the balance
      of the Company's portfolio assets, subject to a minimum annual fee of
      $4,800.
    | 5. | Income
                Taxes | 
Deferred
      income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the
      carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax
      purposes.  Components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and
      liabilities as of May 31, 2007, and November 30, 2006 are as
      follows:

The
      amount of deferred tax asset for the net operating loss at May 31, 2007 is
      for
      the year to date operations for the year ended November 30, 2007.
    Total
        income taxes differ from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory
        income tax rate of 34 percent for the periods ended May 31, 2007 and 35 percent
        for the periods ended May 31, 2006 to net investment income (loss) and realized
        and unrealized gains (losses) on investments before taxes, as
        follows.
    Management
      has re-evaluated the rate at which it expects the components of deferred tax
      assets and liabilities to reverse in the future and has determined that 34
      percent is reflective of its expected future federal income tax rate at which
      such amounts are expected to reverse.  The impact of this change is
      not significant to income tax expense for the current period.

For
      the
      three months ended May 31, 2007, the components of income tax expense include
      deferred federal and state income taxes (net of federal benefit) of $1,904,282
      and $224,033, respectively.  For the three months ended May 31, 2006,
      the components of income tax expense include current federal and state income
      tax expense of $31,280 and $3,575, respectively.
    For
      the
      six months ended May 31, 2007, the components of income tax expense include
      deferred federal and state income taxes (net of federal benefit) of $2,651,577
      and $272,528, respectively.  For the period from December 8, 2005 to
      May 31, 2006, the components of income tax expense include current federal
      and
      state income taxes (net of federal benefit) of $86,113 and $9,842,
      respectively.
    At
      May
      31, 2007, a valuation allowance was not recorded because the Company believes
      it
      is more likely that not that there is an ability to utilize its deferred tax
      asset.
    As
      of May
      31, 2007, the aggregate cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes
      was
      $119,074,866.  At May 31, 2007, the aggregate gross unrealized
      appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over
      tax
      cost was $12,674,097 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all
      securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value was
      $1,144,438.

      representing 5 percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of a
      portfolio company result in that company being considered an affiliated company,
      as defined in the 1940 Act.  Investments representing 25 percent or
      more of the outstanding voting securities of a portfolio company result in
      that

                Transactions | 
For
      the
      six-month period ended May 31, 2007, the Company purchased (at cost) securities
      in the amount of $58,000,016 and sold no securities (excluding short-term debt
      securities).
    | 9. | Credit
                Facilities | 
On
      December 13, 2006, the Company entered into a $15,000,000 secured committed
      credit facility, maturing December 12, 2007, with U.S. Bank, N.A.  The
      principal amount of the credit facility was subsequently increased to
      $20,000,000.  The credit facility has a variable annual interest rate
      equal to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.75 percent, a non-usage fee equal
      to an
      annual rate of 0.375 percent of the difference between the total credit facility
      commitment and the average outstanding balance at the end of each day for the
      preceding fiscal quarter, and is secured with all assets of the
      Company.  The non-usage fee is not applicable during a defined 120 day
“resting period” following the initial public offering.  Proceeds from
      the credit facility are used to execute the Company’s investment objective. The
      average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the
      credit facility was utilized (December 22, 2006 through February 6, 2007) was
      approximately $11,600,000 and 7.08 percent, respectively.
    On
      April
      23, 2007, the Company replaced its previous revolving credit facility with
      U.S.
      Bank, N.A. and entered into a new secured committed credit facility with U.S.
      Bank, N.A. as a lender, agent and lead arranger, and Bank of Oklahoma,
      N.A.  The new credit facility matures on March 21, 2008 and provides
      for a revolving credit facility of up to $20,000,000 that can be increased
      to
      $40,000,000 if certain conditions are met.  The revolving credit
      facility has a variable annual interest rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate
      plus 1.75 percent, a non-usage fee equal to an annual rate of 0.375 percent
      of
      the difference between the total credit facility commitment and the average
      outstanding balance at the end of each day for the preceding fiscal quarter,
      and
      is secured with all assets of the Company.  The non-usage fee is not
      applicable during a defined 120 day “resting period” following the initial
      public offering.  As of May 31, 2007, there was no outstanding
      principal balance under the credit facility.

                Stock | 
On
      December 22, 2006, the Company issued 466,666 shares of Series A Redeemable
      Preferred Stock and 70,006 warrants at $15.00 per share.  On December
      26, 2006, the Company issued an additional 766,667 shares of Series A Redeemable
      Preferred Stock and 115,000 warrants at $15.00 per share.  Holders of
      Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock received cash dividends (as declared by
      the
      Board of Directors and from funds legally available for distribution) at the
      annual rate of 10 percent of the original issue price.  On February 7,
      2007, the Company redeemed all of the preferred stock at $15.00 per share plus
      a
      2 percent premium, for a total redemption price of $18,870,000. After
      attributing $283,059 in value to the warrants, the redemption premium of
      $370,000 and $78,654 in issuance costs, the Company recognized a loss on
      redemption of the preferred stock of $731,713.  In addition, dividends
      in the amount of $228,750 were paid to the preferred stockholders.

At
      May
      31, 2007, there were 948,005 warrants issued and outstanding.  The
      warrants became exercisable on the date of the Company’s initial public offering
      of common shares, subject to a lock-up period with respect to the underlying
      common shares.  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
      common share at the exercise price of $15.00 per common
      share.  Warrants were issued as separate instruments from common
      shares and are permitted to be transferred independently from the common
      shares.  The warrants have no voting rights and the common shares
      underlying the unexercised warrants will have no voting rights until such common
      shares are received upon exercise of the warrants. All warrants will expire
      on
      February 6, 2013.

    Important
      Notice About the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan
    The
      Board
      of Directors of the Company has approved amendments to the Company’s Automatic
      Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) as necessary or appropriate to ensure
      compliance with applicable law or the rules and policies of the Securities
      and
      Exchange Commission, and to clarify the procedures for dividend
      reinvestment.
    If
      a
      stockholder’s shares of common stock (“common shares”) of the Company are
      registered directly with the Company or with a brokerage firm that participates
      in the Plan through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company and such
      stockholder’s account is coded dividend reinvestment by such brokerage firm, all
      distributions are automatically reinvested for stockholders by the Plan Agent,
      Computershare Trust Company, Inc. (the “Agent”).
    The
      amendments to the Plan provide that the Company intends to use primarily
      newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock to implement the Plan, whether
      its shares are trading at a premium or discount to net asset value
      (“NAV”).  However, the Company reserves the right to instruct the
      Agent, to purchase shares in the open market in connection with the Company’s
      obligations under the Plan.  The number of newly issued shares will be
      determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable
      to
      the participant by the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on
      the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the distribution payment date, or the
      average of the reported bid and asked prices if no sale is reported for that
      day.  If distributions are reinvested in shares purchased on the open
      market, then the number of shares received by a stockholder shall be determined
      by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such
      stockholder by the weighted average price per share (including brokerage
      commissions and other related costs) for all shares purchased by the Agent
      on
      the open-market in connection with such distribution. Such open-market purchases
      will be made by the Agent as soon as practicable, but in no event more than
      30
      days after the distribution payment date.  The plan previously
      provided that the Agent would receive from the Company newly-issued shares
      of
      the Company’s common stock for each participant’s account only if the Company’s
      common stock was trading at a premium to NAV.  In addition, the Plan
      previously provided that open-market purchases would be made prior to the next
      succeeding ex-dividend date.
    The
      Plan,
      as amended, became effective on June 1, 2007.
    Participation
      in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated at any time without
      penalty by giving notice in writing to the Agent at the address set forth below,
      or by contacting the Agent as set forth below; such termination will be
      effective with respect to a particular distribution if notice is received prior
      to the record date for such distribution.
    Additional
      information about the Plan may be obtained by writing to Computershare Trust
      Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3078, by

      Part II, Item 1.A. of this report.
    Overview
    We
      invest
      in companies operating in the U.S. energy infrastructure sector, primarily
      in
      privately-held and micro-cap public companies focused on the midstream and
      downstream segments, and to a lesser extent the upstream segment. We believe
      companies in the energy infrastructure sector generally produce stable cash
      flows as a result of their fee-based revenues and have limited direct commodity
      price risk. Our goal is to provide our stockholders with a high level of total
      return, with an emphasis on dividends and dividend growth. We invest primarily
      in the equity securities of companies that we expect to pay us distributions
      on
      a current basis and provide us distribution growth.
    On
      February 1, 2007, we filed an election to be treated as a business development
      company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“the 1940 Act”), and
      we are classified as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company
      under the 1940 Act. As a BDC, we are subject to numerous regulations and
      restrictions. Unlike most investment companies, we are, and intend to continue
      to be, taxed as a general business corporation under the Internal Revenue Code
      of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). The Company is externally managed by Tortoise
      Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (“the Adviser”), an investment advisor specializing in
      managing portfolios of securities of MLPs and other energy
      companies.
    Portfolio
      and Investment Activity
    In
      May
      2007, we completed two additional new investments.  We invested
      $12,250,000 in a newly formed private partnership, VantaCore Partners,
      L.P.  The partnership was formed to acquire companies in the aggregate
      industry.  Aggregate companies operate quarries and typically mine
      limestone, gravel, granite and sand which are used in road construction and
      other public works projects. The investment consisted of $8,500,000 in common
      units and incentive distribution rights, and a $3,750,000 participation
      investment in a secured credit facility.  We also invested $7,500,015
      in a newly formed private partnership, Abraxas Energy Partners,
      L.P.  Abraxas Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: ABP) formed Abraxas Energy
      Partners, L.P. and has contributed long-lived, low decline natural gas and
      oil
      reserves located in the Delaware and Gulf Coast Basins of Texas.
    Additionally,
      in May 2007, we completed two follow on investments.  We exercised our
      option to purchase a 3 percent interest in High Sierra Energy GP, L.L.C., the
      general partner of High Sierra Energy, L.P., at an exercise price of $2,250,000
      and we invested an additional $1,000,000 in Mowood, L.L.C. to fund the expansion
      of its newest subsidiary, Timberline Energy, L.L.C.  Timberline
      Energy, L.L.C. is a developer and operator of landfill methane gas collection
      systems.
    As
      of May
      31, 2007, the value of our investment portfolio (excluding short-term
      investments) totaled $102,841,396, including equity investments of $94,041,396
      and debt investments of $8,800,000, and was invested as follows:
    | Midstream |  |  | 66 | % |

We monitor each portfolio company to determine progress relative to meeting the company’s business plan and to assess the appropriate strategic and tactical courses of action for the company. This monitoring may be accomplished by attendance at Board of Directors meetings, the review of periodic operating reports and financial reports, an analysis of relevant reserve information and capital expenditure plans, and periodic consultations with engineers, geologists, and other experts. The performance of each portfolio company is also periodically compared to performance of similarly sized companies with comparable assets and businesses to assess performance relative to peers. Our Adviser’s monitoring activities are expected to provide it with the necessary access to monitor compliance with existing covenants, to enhance our ability to make qualified valuation decisions, and to assist our evaluation of the nature of the risks involved in each individual investment. In addition, these monitoring activities should permit our Adviser to diagnose and manage the common risk factors held by our total portfolio, such as sector concentration, exposure to a single financial sponsor, or sensitivity to a particular geography.
As
        part
        of the monitoring process, our Adviser continually assesses the risk profile
        of
        each of our investments and rates them on a scale of 1 to 3 based on the
        following categories:
    (1) The
        portfolio company is performing at or above expectations and the trends and
        risk
        factors are generally favorable to neutral.
    (2) The
        portfolio company is performing below expectations and the investment’s risk has
        increased materially since origination. The portfolio company is generally
        out
        of compliance with various covenants; however, payments are generally not
        more
        than 120 days past due.
    (3) The
        portfolio company is performing materially below expectations and the investment
        risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the covenants
        are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Investment
        is
        not expected to provide a full repayment of the amount
        invested.
    As
        of
        May 31, 2007, all of our portfolio companies have a rating of (1), with the
        exception of one which has a rating of (2).
    Results
      of Operations
    Set
      forth
      are the results of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2007
      as
      compared to the three months ended May 31, 2006 and the period from December
      8,
      2005 (Commencement of Operations) through May 31, 2006.
    Investment
      Income:  Investment income totaled $545,856 and $937,491 for the
      three and six-month periods ended May 31, 2007, respectively, compared to
      $347,496 and $751,001 for the three months ended May 31, 2006 and the period
      from December 8, 2005 through May 31, 2006, respectively.  Investment
      income for the three-month period ended May 31, 2007 consisted of $1,425,467
      in
      gross distributions from investments, including $1,484,141 characterized as
      return of capital (which includes $314,000 related to the reclassification
      of
      investment income and return of capital based on the 2006 tax reporting
      information received from our portfolio companies), and $604,530 in dividends
      from money market mutual funds and interest income from debt
      investments.  Investment income for the six-month period ended May 31,
      2007 consisted of $2,029,154 in gross distributions from investments, including
      $1,964,198 characterized as return of capital, and $872,535 in dividends from
      money market mutual funds and interest income from debt
      investments.  Investment income for the three-month period ended May
      31, 2006 and the period from December 8, 2005 through May 31, 2006 consisted
      only of dividends from money market mutual funds.   The increase
      in investment income for the three and six months ended May 31, 2007 as compared
      to the three months ended May 31, 2006 and the period from December 8, 2005
      (Commencement of Operations) through May 31, 2006, respectively, is directly
      related to an increase in the number of investments in our portfolio and the
      distributions received from these investments.  The weighted average
      yield on our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) as of
      May
      31, 2007 was 8.8 percent, as compared to 7.8 percent at May 31,
      2006.

        Operating
      Expenses: Total operating expenses totaled $1,684,846 and $3,785,765 for
      the three and six-month periods ended May 31, 2007, respectively, compared
      to
      $251,297 and $486,018 for the three months ended May 31, 2006 and the period
      from December 8, 2005 through May 31, 2006, respectively.  Total
      operating expenses for the three-month period ended May 31, 2007 consisted
      of
      $468,012 in management fees, $1,008,867 in capital gain incentive fees, and
      $247,084 in other operating expenses, less $39,117 related to a reduction of
      issuance costs on previously outstanding Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock.
      For the six-month period ended May 31, 2007, total operating expenses consisted
      of $848,079 in management fees, $1,496,494 in capital gain incentive fees,
      $731,713 in redemption premium and issuance costs on previously outstanding
      Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, $346,460 in interest expense on our line
      of
      credit and preferred dividends, and $363,019 in other operating expenses. Total
      operating expenses for the three-month period ended May 31, 2006 consisted
      of
      $169,367 in management fees and $81,930 in other operating expenses and for
      the
      period from December 8, 2005 through May 31, 2006 consisted of $306,163 in
      management fees, and $179,855 in other operating expenses. The increase in
      expenses for the three and six-month periods ended May 31, 2007 as compared
      to
      the three months ended May 31, 2006 and the period from December 8, 2005
      (Commencement of Operations) through May 31, 2006, respectively, generally
      relate to capital gain incentive fees and the redemption premium and issuance
      costs on previously outstanding Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, which
      was
      utilized as bridge financing to fund portfolio investments and was fully
      redeemed upon completion of the initial public offering.  The
      provision for capital gains incentive fees resulted from the increase in fair
      value and unrealized appreciation on investments.  Pursuant to the
      Investment Advisory Agreement, the capital gains incentive fee is paid annually
      only if there are realization events and only if the calculation defined in
      the
      agreement results in an amount due.
    Distributable
      Cash Flow: Our portfolio generates cash flow to us from which we pay
      dividends to stockholders.  When our Board of Directors determines the
      amount of any distribution we expect to pay our stockholders, it will review
      distributable cash flow (“DCF”). DCF is simply distributions received from
      investments less our total expenses.  The total distributions received
      from our investments include the amount received by us as cash distributions
      from equity investments, paid-in-kind distributions, and dividend and interest
      payments.  The total expenses include current or anticipated operating
      expenses, leverage costs and current income taxes on our operating
      income.   Total expenses do not include deferred income taxes or
      accrued capital gain incentive fees.
    We
      disclose DCF in order to provide supplemental information regarding our results
      of operations and to enhance our investors’ overall understanding of our core
      financial performance and our prospects for the future.  We believe
      that our investors benefit from seeing the results of DCF in addition to GAAP
      information.  This non-GAAP information facilitates management’s
      comparison of current results with historical results of operations and with
      those of our peers.  This information is not in accordance with,
      or
    an
      alternative to, GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
      reported by other companies.
    The
      following table represents DCF for the three and six-month periods ended May
      31,
      2007.  DCF comparisons to the same periods last year are not
      meaningful as we did not pay our first dividend until the third quarter of
      2006.

Net
      Investment Income (Loss): Net investment loss for the three and six-month
      period ended May 31, 2007 was $706,173 (including a deferred tax benefit of
      $432,817) and $2,101,017 (including a deferred tax benefit of $747,257),
      respectively.  Net investment income for the three-month period ended
      May 31, 2006 and the period from December 8, 2005 through May 31, 2006 was
      $61,344 (including current tax expense of $34,855) and $169,028 (including
      current tax expense of $95,955), respectively.  The increased net
      investment loss for the three and six-month periods ended May 31, 2007 as
      compared to the three months ended May 31, 2006 and the period from December
      8,
      2005 (Commencement of Operations) through May 31, 2006, respectively, generally
      relate to capital gain incentive fees and the redemption premium and issuance
      costs on previously outstanding Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock as described
      in “Operating Expenses” above.
    Net
      Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses):  For the three-month
      period ended May 31, 2007, we had net unrealized gains of $4,169,982 after
      a
      deferred tax expense of $2,555,796.  For the six-month period ended
      May 31, 2007, we had net unrealized gains of $5,981,617 after a deferred tax
      expense of $3,666,151.  There were no net unrealized gains or losses
      for the three months ended May 31, 2006 or for the period from December 8,
      2005
      through May 31, 2006.  The increase in unrealized gains as compared to
      last year is a result of the increased number of portfolio investments and
      the
      length of maturity of these investments.  For the three-month period
      ended May 31, 2007 and the six-month period ended May 31, 2007, we recognized
      realized gains of $8,501 after a deferred tax expense of $5,211.  The
      recognition of realized gains was not the result of a sale during these periods,
      but was related to a reclassification of the amount of investment income and
      return of capital we recognized based on the 2006 tax reporting information
      received from the individual MLPs resulting in an adjustment to realized
      gains.
    Recent
      Developments
    On
      June
      1, 2007, we paid a dividend in the amount of $0.16 per share, for a total of
      $1,414,035.  Of this total, the dividend reinvestment amounted to
      $42,537.
    On
      June
      1, 2007, we invested $7,499,990 in common units in a private placement of EV
      Energy Partners, L.P., a master limited partnership engaged in acquiring,
      producing and developing oil and gas properties.  EV Energy Partners,
      L.P. stated that it plans to use the proceeds of the private placement to repay
      all of its borrowings under its revolving credit facility which were used to
      finance a previously completed acquisition of Monroe field properties in
      Louisiana.  In addition, proceeds will fund a portion of its
      $100,000,000 acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in Central and East
      Texas.
    On
      June
      12, 2007, we invested $10,000,000 in International Resource Partners, L.P,
      a
      newly formed private partnership.  International Resource Partners,
      L.P. acquired International Resources, L.L.C., the coal subsidiary of
      International Industries, Inc.  The company’s initial acquisition of
      surface and underground coal mine operations in southern West Virginia is
      comprised of metallurgical and steam coal reserves, a coal washing and
      preparation plant, rail load-out facilities and a sales and marketing
      subsidiary.
    On
      June
      15, 2007, we completed another follow-on investment, purchasing $10,000,011
      in
      common units of High Sierra Energy, L.P.  The company indicated that
      it plans to use the proceeds to support its continued expansion.
    On
      June
      29, 2007, we completed an additional $2,000,000 follow-on debt investment in
      Mowood, L.L.C.
    Subsequent
      to these investments, the current weighted average yield on our investment
      portfolio (excluding short-term investments) is 8.6 percent.
    17
        Liquidity
      and Capital Resources
    On
      February 7, 2007, we completed our initial public offering of 5,740,000 shares
      of common stock at $15.00 per share for gross proceeds of
      $86,100,000.  After underwriting discount and offering expenses, we
      received net proceeds of $79,222,426.  Upon completion of the
      offering, we redeemed all of the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock at $15.00
      per share plus a 2 percent premium, for a total redemption price of $18,870,000.
      After attributing $283,059 in value to the warrants, the redemption premium
      of
      $370,000 and $78,654 in issuance costs, we recognized a loss on redemption
      of
      the preferred shares of $731,713.   In addition, accrued
      dividends in the amount of $228,750 were paid to the preferred
      stockholders.  We have used approximately $12,600,000 of the net
      proceeds to repay the amount outstanding under the credit facility, and
      approximately $23,000,000 of the net proceeds to fund additional investments
      in
      new and existing portfolio companies this fiscal quarter.  The
      remaining net proceeds of the offering have been used to purchase short-term,
      temporary investments. During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2007, 9,125
      warrants were exercised at $15.00 per common share, for proceeds of
      $136,875.
    We
      expect
      to raise additional capital to support our future growth through equity
      offerings, issuances of senior securities or future borrowings to the extent
      permitted by the 1940 Act and our current credit facility. We generally may
      not
      issue additional common shares at a price below our net asset value (net of
      any
      sales load (underwriting discount) without first obtaining approval of our
      stockholders and Board of Directors. Our stockholders granted us the authority
      to sell our common shares below net asset value, subject to certain conditions,
      through December 20, 2007.  We are restricted in our ability to incur
      additional debt by the terms of our credit facility.
    Contractual
      Obligations
    There
      have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our
      contractual obligations during the fiscal quarter ended May 31,
      2007.
    Off-Balance
      Sheet Arrangements
    Other
      than the investment advisory agreement and the administration agreement with
      our
      Adviser, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangement that has or is
      reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
      changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
      liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
    Borrowings
    On
      April
      23, 2007, we replaced our previous credit facility with a new secured committed
      credit facility with U.S. Bank, N.A. as a lender, agent and lead arranger,
      and
      Bank of Oklahoma, N.A.  The new credit facility matures on March 21,
      2008 and provides for a revolving credit facility of up to $20,000,000 that
      can
      be increased to $40,000,000 if certain conditions are met.  The
      revolving credit facility has a variable annual interest rate equal to the
      one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.75 percent, a non-usage fee equal to an annual
      rate
      of 0.375 percent of the difference between the total credit facility commitment
      and the average outstanding balance at the end of each day for the preceding
      fiscal quarter, and is secured by all assets of the Company.  The
      non-usage fee is not applicable during a defined 120 day “resting period”
following the initial public offering.  As of May 31, 2007, there was
      no outstanding principal balance under the credit facility.
    Critical
      Accounting Policies
    The
      financial statements included in this report are based on the selection and
      application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make
      significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those
      that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and
      results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex or
      subjective judgments. While our critical accounting policies are discussed
      below, Note 2 in the notes to our financial statements included in this
      report provides more detailed disclosure of all of our significant accounting
      policies.
    Valuation
      of Portfolio Investments
    We
      invest
      primarily in illiquid securities that generally are subject to restrictions
      on
      resale, have no established trading market and are valued at fair value on
      a
      quarterly basis. Fair value is intended to be the amount for which an investment
      could be exchanged in an orderly disposition over a reasonable period of time
      between willing parties other than in a forced liquidation or sale. Because
      of
      the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the fair values of such investments,
      which are determined in accordance with procedures approved by our Board of
      Directors, may differ materially from the values that would have been used
      had a
      ready market existed for the investments.
    Interest
      and Fee Income Recognition
    Interest
      income is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are
      expected to be collected. When investing in instruments with an original issue
      discount or payment-in-kind interest, we accrue interest income during the
      life
      of the investment, even though we will not necessarily be receiving cash as
      the
      interest is accrued. Commitment and facility fees generally are recognized
      as
      income over the life of the underlying loan, whereas due diligence, structuring,
      transaction service, consulting and management service fees for services
      rendered to portfolio companies generally are recognized as income when services
      are rendered.
    Security
      Transactions and Investment Income Recognition
    Security
      transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or
      sold
      (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost
      basis. Distributions received from our equity investments generally are
      comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital from the
      portfolio company. We record investment income and returns of capital based
      on
      estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates
      are
      based on information available from each portfolio company and/or other industry
      sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information
      received from the portfolio companies after their tax reporting periods are
      concluded, as the actual character of these distributions are not known until
      after our fiscal year-end.
    Federal
      and State Income Taxation
    We,
      as a
      corporation, are obligated to pay federal and state income tax on our taxable
      income. Our tax expense or benefit is included in the Statement of Operations
      based on the component of income or gains (losses) to which such expense or
benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect
      the net tax
      effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
      liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income
      tax
      purposes.

                3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
                RISK. | 
Our
      business activities contain elements of market risk.  We consider
      changes in interest rates and the effect such changes can have on the valuations
      of the distribution-paying equity securities and debt securities we hold and
      the
      cost of capital under our credit facility to be our principal market
      risk.
    Interest
      rate risk primarily results from variable rate securities in which we invest.
      Debt investments in our portfolio are based on floating and fixed rates. Loans
      bearing a floating interest rate are usually based on LIBOR and, in most cases,
      a spread consisting of additional basis points. The interest rates for these
      debt instruments typically have one to six-month durations and reset at the
      current market interest rates. As of May 31, 2007, our floating rate debt
      investments totaled $3,750,000 (43 percent) of our total debt investments of
      $8,800,000. Based on a sensitivity analysis of the variable rate financial
      obligations in our portfolio at May 31, 2007, we estimate that a one percentage
      point interest rate movement in the average market interest rates (either higher
      or lower) over the ten days the obligations were outstanding during the period
      ended May 31, 2007 would either increase or decrease net investment income
      by
      approximately $1,000.
    We
      carry
      our investments at fair value, as determined by our Board of
      Directors.  Investments for which market quotations are readily
      available are valued at such market quotations.  Securities that are
      not publicly traded or whose market price is not readily available are valued
      at
      fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of
      Directors.  Because there is not a readily available market value for
      most of the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our
      portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board
      under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation
      process.  Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair
      value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the
      fair
      value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would
      have been used had a ready market existed for such investments, and these
      differences could be material.  As of May 31, 2007, the value of our
      long-term equity investments totaled $94,041,396.  The impact of a 10%
      change in fair value of these investments (either higher or lower), net of
      deferred tax and capital gain incentive fees, would increase or decrease net
      assets applicable to common stockholders by approximately
      $4,400,000.
    We
      consider the management of risk essential to conducting our
      businesses.  Accordingly, our risk management systems and procedures
      are designed to identify and analyze our risks, to set appropriate policies
      and
      limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by
      means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies
      and
      programs.

                4. CONTROLS AND
                PROCEDURES. | 
Our
      management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
      Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
      and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities
      Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this
      report.  Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
      Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
      were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required
      to be
      disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange
      Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
      periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is
      accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
      Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
      regarding required disclosure.
    There
      have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as
      defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of
      1934)
      during the fiscal quarter ended May 31 2007, that have materially affected,
      or
      are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
      reporting.

      II—OTHER INFORMATION
    |  | ITEM
                1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. | 
We
      are
      not currently subject to any material legal proceeding, nor, to our knowledge,
      is any material legal proceeding threatened against us.
    |  | ITEM
                1A. RISK FACTORS. | 
Risks
        Related to Our Operations
    We
        are a new company with limited operating
        history.
    We
        were
        incorporated in Maryland on September 8, 2005. We are subject to all of the
        business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business, including
        the
        risk that we will not achieve our investment objective and that the value
        of an
        investment in our common shares could decline substantially.
    Our
        Adviser has a limited operating history and will serve as investment adviser
        to
        other funds, which may create conflicts of interest not in the best interest
        of
        us or our stockholders.
    Our
        Advisor was formed in October 2002 and has been managing investments in
        portfolios of MLPs and other issuers in the energy sector since that
        time.  From time to time, the Adviser may pursue areas of investments
        in which the Adviser has more limited experience.
    Our
        Adviser serves as investment adviser to three other publicly traded closed-end
        management investment companies.  We rely on some of the same
        personnel and will use the same investment committee as those entities. Our
        Adviser’s services under our investment advisory agreement are not exclusive,
        and it is free to furnish the same or similar services to other entities,
        including businesses that may directly or indirectly compete with us so long
        as
        its services to us are not impaired by the provision of such services to
        others.
        In addition, the publicly traded funds and private accounts managed by our
        Adviser may make investments similar to investments that we may pursue, although
        these entities generally target investments in publicly traded companies
        with
        market capitalizations in excess of $250 million, while we generally target
        investments in companies that are privately-held or have market capitalizations
        of less than $250 million, and that are earlier in their stage of
        development. This may change in the future, however. Accordingly, our Adviser
        and the members of its investment committee may have obligations to other
        investors, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of
        us or
        our stockholders, and it is possible that our Adviser might allocate investment
        opportunities to other entities, and thus might divert attractive investment
        opportunities away from us. However, our Adviser intends to allocate investment
        opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with our investment
        objective and strategies, and in accordance with written allocation policies
        and
        procedures of our Adviser, so that we will not be disadvantaged in relation
        to
        any other client.
    We
        are dependent upon our Adviser’s key personnel for our future
        success.
    We
        depend
        on the diligence, expertise and business relationships of the senior management
        of our Adviser. The Adviser’s senior investment professionals and senior
        management will evaluate, negotiate, structure, close and monitor our
        investments. Our future success will depend on the continued service of the
        senior management team of our Adviser. The departure of one or more senior
        investment professionals of our Adviser, and particularly Terry Matlack,
        Abel
        Mojica III, Ed Russell or David Schulte, could have a material adverse
        effect on our ability to achieve our investment objective and on the value
        of
        our common shares and warrants. We will rely on certain employees of the
        Adviser, especially Messrs. Matlack, and Schulte, who will be devoting
        significant amounts of their time to non-Company related activities of the
        Adviser. To the extent Messrs. Matlack or Schulte and other employees of
        the
        Adviser who are not committed exclusively to us are unable to, or do not,
        devote
        sufficient amounts of their time and energy to our affairs, our performance
        may
        suffer.
    19
          The
      incentive fee payable to our Adviser may create conflicting
      incentives.
    The
        incentive fee payable by us to our Adviser may create an incentive for our
        Adviser to make investments on our behalf that are riskier or more speculative
        than would be the case in the absence of such a compensation arrangement.
        Because a portion of the incentive fee payable to our Adviser is calculated
        as a
        percentage of the amount of our net investment income that exceeds a hurdle
        rate, our Adviser may imprudently use leverage to increase the return on
        our
        investments. Under some circumstances, the use of leverage may increase the
        likelihood of default, which would disfavor the holders of our common shares.
        In
        addition, our Adviser will receive an incentive fee based, in part, upon
        net
        realized capital gains on our investments. Unlike the portion of the incentive
        fee based on net investment income, there is no hurdle rate applicable to
        the
        portion of the incentive fee based on net capital gains. As a result, our
        Adviser may have an incentive to pursue investments that are likely to result
        in
        capital gains as compared to income producing securities. Such a practice
        could
        result in our investing in more speculative or long term securities than
        would
        otherwise be the case, which could result in higher investment losses,
        particularly during economic downturns or longer return
        cycles.
    We
        may be
        required to pay an incentive fee even in a fiscal quarter in which we have
        incurred a loss. For example, if we have pre-incentive fee net investment
        income
        above the hurdle rate and realized capital losses, we will be required to
        pay
        the investment income portion of the incentive fee.
    The
        investment income portion of the incentive fee payable by us will be computed
        and paid on income that may include interest that has been accrued but not
        yet
        received in cash, and the collection of which is uncertain or deferred. If
        a
        portfolio company defaults on a loan that is structured to provide accrued
        interest, it is possible that accrued interest previously used in the
        calculation of the investment income portion of the incentive fee will become
        uncollectible. Our Adviser will not be required to reimburse us for any such
        incentive fee payments.
    Our
        Adviser has limited experience in managing a business development
        company.
    Our
        Adviser has limited experience in establishing, managing or serving as
        investment advisor to a BDC.  Additionally, the time required to
        maintain a BDC could distract our Advisor from its other
        duties.
    If
        we distribute substantially all of our income to our stockholders, we will
        continue to need additional capital to finance our growth. If additional
        funds
        are unavailable or not available on favorable terms, our ability to grow
        and
        execute our business plan will be impaired.
    Our
        business will require a substantial amount of capital if we distribute
        substantially all of our income to our stockholders and we are to grow. We
        may
        acquire additional capital from the issuance of securities senior to our
        common
        shares, including additional borrowings or other indebtedness or the issuance
        of
        additional securities. We may also acquire additional capital through the
        issuance of additional equity. However, we may not be able to raise additional
        capital in the future on favorable terms or at all. Our new credit facility
        contains a covenant precluding us from incurring additional debt. We may
        issue
        debt securities, other instruments of indebtedness or preferred stock, and
        we
        intend to borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, which
        we
        refer to collectively as “senior securities,” up to the maximum amount permitted
        by the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act permits us to issue senior securities in amounts
        such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least
        200
        percent after each issuance of senior securities. Our ability to pay
        distributions or issue additional senior securities is restricted if our
        asset
        coverage ratio is not at least 200 percent, or put another way, the value
        of our
        assets (less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior
        securities) must be at least twice that of any outstanding senior securities
        representing indebtedness (plus the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference
        of any preferred stock). If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable
        to satisfy this test. If that happens, we may be required to liquidate a
        portion
        of our investments and repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when
        such
        sales may be disadvantageous. As a result of issuing senior securities, we
        will
        also be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including increased
        risk of loss. If we issue preferred securities which will rank “senior” to our
        common shares in our capital structure, the holders of such preferred securities
        may have separate voting rights and other rights, preferences or privileges
        more
        favorable than those of our common shares, and the issuance of such preferred
        securities could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
        transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for
        security holders or otherwise be in our best interest.
      To
        the
        extent our ability to issue debt or other senior securities is constrained,
        we
        will depend on issuances of additional common shares to finance our operations.
        As a BDC, we generally will not be able to issue additional common shares
        at a
        price below net asset value (net of any sales load (underwriting discount))
        without first obtaining required approvals of our stockholders and our
        independent directors which could constrain our ability to issue additional
        equity. Our stockholders granted us the authority to sell our common shares
        below net asset value, subject to certain conditions. This authority extends
        through December 20, 2007. If we raise additional funds by issuing more of
        our
        common shares or senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for,
        our
        common shares, the percentage ownership of our stockholders at that time
        would
        decrease, and you may experience dilution.
    As
        a BDC, we are subject to limitations on our ability to engage in certain
        transactions with affiliates.
    As
        a BDC,
        we are prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in
        certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of our
        independent directors or the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly,
        5 percent or more of our outstanding voting securities is our affiliate for
        purposes of the 1940 Act and we are generally prohibited from buying or selling
        any security from or to such affiliate, absent the prior approval of our
        independent directors. The 1940 Act also prohibits “joint” transactions
        with an affiliate, which could include investments in the same portfolio
        company
        (whether at the same or different times), without prior approval of our
        independent directors. If a person acquires more than 25 percent of our voting
        securities, we will be prohibited from buying or selling any security from
        or to
        such person, or entering into joint transactions with such person, absent
        the
        prior approval of the SEC. Our Adviser has previously applied to the SEC
        for
        exemptive relief to permit other clients of our Adviser, including us, to
        co-invest in negotiated private placements of securities. Unless and until
        such
        an exemptive order is obtained, we will not co-invest with affiliates in
        negotiated private placement transactions.
    If
        our investments are deemed not to be qualifying assets, we could lose our
        status
        as a business development company or be precluded from investing according
        to
        our current business plan.
    As
        a BDC,
        we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” unless, at the
        time of and after giving effect to such acquisition, at least 70 percent
        of our
        total assets are qualifying assets. If our investments are deemed not to
        be
        qualifying assets, our status as a BDC may be jeopardized or we may be precluded
        from investing in the manner intended, either of which would have a material
        adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
        We also may be required to dispose of investments, which could have a material
        adverse effect on us and our stockholders, because even if we were successful
        in
        finding a buyer, we may have difficulty in finding a buyer to purchase such
        investments on favorable terms or in a sufficient time frame.
    We
        may choose to invest a portion of our portfolio in investments that may be
        considered highly speculative and that could negatively impact our ability
        to
        pay distributions and cause you to lose part of your
        investment.
    The
        1940
        Act permits a BDC to invest up to 30 percent of its assets in investments
        that
        do not meet the test for “qualifying assets.” Such investments may be made by us
        with the expectation of achieving a higher rate of return or increased cash
        flow
        with a portion of our portfolio and may fall outside of our targeted investment
        criteria. These investments may be made even though they may expose us to
        greater risks than our other investments and may consequently expose our
        portfolio to more significant losses than may arise from our other investments.
        We may invest up to 30 percent of our total assets in assets that are non
        qualifying assets in among other things, high yield bonds, bridge loans,
        distressed debt, commercial loans, private equity, and securities of public
        companies or secondary market purchases of securities of target portfolio
        companies. Such investments could impact negatively our ability to pay you
        distributions and cause you to lose part of your investment.
    Our
        debt increases the risk of investing in us.
    On
        April
        23, 2007, we entered into a new credit facility.  The new credit
        facility replaces our previous revolving credit facility and provides for
        a
        revolving credit facility of up to $20,000,000 that can be increased to
        $40,000,000 if certain conditions are met.  Our new credit facility
        precludes us from incurring additional debt and we may face liquidity
        constraints as a result. We may in the future incur incremental debt to increase
        our ability to make investments. Lenders from whom we may borrow money or
        holders of our debt securities will have fixed dollar claims on our assets
        that
        are superior to the claims of our stockholders, and we have and may grant
        a
        security interest in our assets in connection with our debt. In the case
        of a
        liquidation event, those lenders or note holders would receive proceeds before
        our stockholders. In addition, debt, also known as leverage, magnifies the
        potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and, therefore, increases
        the
        risks associated with investing in our securities. Leverage is generally
        considered a speculative investment technique and the costs of any leverage
        transactions will be borne by our stockholders. In addition, because the
        base
        management fees we pay to our Adviser are based on managed assets (which
        include
        any assets purchased with borrowed funds) our Adviser may imprudently borrow
        funds in an attempt to increase our managed assets in conflict with our or
        our
        stockholders’ best interests. If the value of our assets increases, then
        leveraging would cause the net asset value attributable to our common shares
        to
        increase more than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Conversely,
        if
        the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause the net asset value
        attributable to our common shares to decline more than it otherwise would
        have
        had we not leveraged. Similarly, any increase in our revenue in excess of
        interest expense on our borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase
        more than it would without the leverage. Any decrease in our revenue would
        cause
        our net income to decline more than it would have had we not borrowed funds
        and
        could negatively affect our ability to make distributions on our common shares.
        Our ability to service any debt that we incur will depend largely on our
        financial performance and the performance of our portfolio companies and
        will be
        subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive
        pressures.
    20
          We
        operate in a highly competitive market for investment
        opportunities.
    We
        compete with public and private funds, commercial and investment banks and
        commercial financing companies to make the types of investments that we plan
        to
        make in the U.S. energy infrastructure sector. Many of our competitors are
        substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and
        marketing resources than us. For example, some competitors may have a lower
        cost
        of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us. In
        addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different
        risk assessments, allowing them to consider a wider variety of investments
        and
        establish more relationships than us. Furthermore, many of our competitors
        are
        not subject to the regulatory restrictions that the 1940 Act imposes on us
        as a
        BDC.
    Our
        quarterly results may fluctuate.
    We
        could
        experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number
        of
        factors, including the return on our equity investments, the interest rates
        payable on our debt investments, the default rates on such investments, the
        level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of
        realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which we encounter
        competition in our markets and general economic conditions. As a result of
        these
        factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative
        of
        performance in future periods.
    Our
        portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of portfolio
        companies.
    We
        currently have investments in a limited number of portfolio companies. One
        or
        two of our portfolio companies may constitute a significant percentage of
        our
        total portfolio. An inherent risk associated with this investment concentration
        is that we may be adversely affected if one or two of our investments perform
        poorly or if we need to write down the value of any one investment. Financial
        difficulty on the part of any single portfolio company will expose us to
        a
        greater risk of loss than would be the case if we were a “diversified” company
        holding numerous investments.
    Our
        anticipated investments in privately-held companies present certain challenges,
        including the lack of available information about these companies and a greater
        inability to liquidate our investments in an advantageous
        manner.
    We
        primarily make investments in privately-held companies. Generally, little
        public
        information exists about these companies, and we will be required to rely
        on the
        ability of our Adviser to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential
        risks and returns involved in investing in these companies. If our Adviser
        is
        unable to obtain all material information about these companies, including
        with
        respect to operational, regulatory, environmental, litigation and managerial
        risks, our Adviser may not make a fully-informed investment decision, and
        we may
        lose some or all of the money invested in these companies. In addition, our
        Adviser may inappropriately value the prospects of an investment, causing
        us to
        overpay for such investment and fail to receive the expected or projected
        return
        on the investment. Substantially all of these securities will be subject
        to
        legal and other restrictions on resale or will otherwise be less liquid than
        publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of these investments may make
        it
        difficult for us to sell such investments at advantageous times and prices
        or in
        a timely manner. In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion
        of our portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value
        at
        which we previously have recorded our investments. We also may face other
        restrictions on our ability to liquidate an investment in a portfolio company
        to
        the extent that we or one of our affiliates have material non-public information
        regarding such portfolio company.
    Most
        of our portfolio investments are and will continue to be recorded at fair
        value
        as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. As a result, there
        is and
        will continue to be uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio
        investments.
    Most
        of
        our investments are and will be in the form of securities or loans that are
        not
        publicly traded. The fair value of these investments may not be readily
        determinable. We will value these investments quarterly at fair value as
        determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors
        has
        retained Duff & Phelps, L.L.C., an independent valuation firm, to provide
        valuation assistance to the Board of Directors, if they so request, in
        connection with assessing whether the fair value determinations made by the
        investment committee of our Adviser are unreasonable. The types of factors
        that
        may be considered in fair value pricing of an investment include the nature
        and
        realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s earnings and ability
        to make payments, the markets in which the portfolio company does business,
        comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flow and other relevant
        factors. Because such valuations are inherently uncertain, our determinations
        of
        fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used
        if a
        ready market for these securities existed. As a result, we may not be able
        to
        dispose of our holdings at a price equal to or greater than the determined
        fair
        value, which could have a negative impact on our net asset
        value.
    Our
        equity investments may decline in value.
    The
        equity securities in which we invest may not appreciate or may decline in value.
        We may thus not be able to realize gains from our equity securities, and
        any
        gains that we do realize on the disposition of any equity securities may
        not be
        sufficient to offset any other losses we experience. As a result, the equity
        securities in which we invest may decline in value, which may negatively
        impact
        our ability to pay distributions and cause you to lose all or part of your
        investment.
    Unrealized
        decreases in the value of debt investments in our portfolio may impact the
        value
        of our common shares and may reduce our income for
        distribution.
    As
        a BDC,
        we are required to carry our investments at market value or, if no market
        value
        is ascertainable, at the fair value as determined in good faith by our Board
        of
        Directors. Decreases in the market values or fair values of our debt investments
        will be recorded as unrealized depreciation. Any unrealized depreciation
        in our
        investment portfolio could be an indication of a portfolio company’s inability
        to meet its obligations to us with respect to the loans whose market values
        or
        fair values decreased. This could result in realized losses in the future
        and
        ultimately in reductions of our income available for distribution in future
        periods.
    When
        we are a minority equity or a debt investor in a portfolio company, we may
        not
        be in a position to control that portfolio
        company.
    When
        we
        make minority equity investments or invest in debt, we will be subject to
        the
        risk that a portfolio company may make business decisions with which we may
        disagree, and that the stockholders and management of such company may take
        risks or otherwise act in ways that do not serve our interests. As a result,
        a
        portfolio company may make decisions that could decrease the value of our
        investments.
    Our
        portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equally with, or senior to,
        our
        investments in such companies.
    Portfolio
        companies in which we invest usually will have, or may be permitted to incur,
        debt that ranks senior to, or equally with, our investments, including debt
        investments. As a result, payments on such securities may have to be made
        before
        we receive any payments on our investments. For example, these debt instruments
        may provide that the holders are entitled to receive payment of interest
        or
        principal on or before the dates on which we are entitled to receive payments
        with respect to our investments. These debt instruments will usually prohibit
        the portfolio companies from paying interest on or repaying our investments
        in
        the event and during the continuance of a default under such debt. In the
        event
        of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of
        a
        portfolio company, holders of debt instruments ranking senior to our investment
        in that portfolio company would typically be entitled to receive payment
        in full
        before we receive any distribution in respect of our investment. After repaying
        its senior creditors, a portfolio company may not have any remaining assets
        to
        use to repay its obligation to us or provide a full or even partial return
        of
        capital on an equity investment made by us. In the case of debt ranking equally
        with our investments, we would have to share on an equal basis any distributions
        with other creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency,
        liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio
        company.
    If
        our investments do not meet our performance expectations, you may not receive
        distributions.
    We
        intend
        to make distributions on a quarterly basis to our stockholders out of assets
        legally available for distribution. We may not be able to achieve operating
        results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to
        increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition,
        due
        to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, we may be limited in
        our
        ability to make distributions.  Also, restrictions and provisions in
        any future credit facilities and debt securities may limit our ability to
        make
        distributions. We cannot assure you that you will receive distributions at
        a
        particular level or at all.
    21
          The
        lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business, and
        if
        we need to sell any of our investments, we may not be able to do so at a
        favorable price. As a result, we may suffer
        losses.
    We
        generally expect to invest in the equity of companies whose securities are
        not
        publicly traded, and whose securities will be subject to legal and other
        restrictions on resale or will otherwise be less liquid than publicly-traded
        securities. We also expect to invest in debt securities with terms of five
        to
        ten years and hold such investments until maturity. The illiquidity of
        these investments may make it difficult for us to sell these investments
        when
        desired. In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of
        our
        portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which
        we
        had previously recorded these investments. As a result, we do not expect
        to
        achieve liquidity in our investments in the near-term. However, to maintain
        our
        status as a BDC, we may have to dispose of investments if we do not satisfy
        one
        or more of the applicable criteria under the regulatory framework. Our
        investments are usually subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale
        or are otherwise illiquid because there is usually no established trading
        market
        for such investments. The illiquidity of most of our investments may make
        it
        difficult for us to dispose of them at a favorable price, and, as a result,
        we
        may suffer losses.
    We
        will be exposed to risks associated with changes in interest
        rates.
    Equity
        securities may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, which
        generally increase borrowing costs and the cost of capital and may reduce
        the
        ability of portfolio companies in which we own equity securities to both
        execute
        acquisitions or expansion projects in a cost-effective manner or provide
        us
        liquidity by completing an initial public offering or completing a sale.
        Fluctuations in interest rates will also impact any debt investments we make.
        Changes in interest rates may also negatively impact the costs of our
        outstanding borrowings, if any.
    We
        may not have the funds to make additional investments in our portfolio
        companies.
    After
        our
        initial investment in a portfolio company, we may be called upon from time
        to
        time to provide additional funds to such company or have the opportunity
        to
        increase our investment through the exercise of a warrant to purchase common
        stock. There is no assurance that we will make, or will have sufficient funds
        to
        make, follow-on investments. Any decisions not to make a follow-on investment
        or
        any inability on our part to make such an investment may have a negative
        impact
        on a portfolio company in need of such an investment, may result in a missed
        opportunity for us to increase our participation in a successful operation
        or
        may reduce the expected yield on the investment.
    Changes
        in laws or regulations or in the interpretations of laws or regulations could
        significantly affect our operations and cost of doing
        business.
    We
        are
        subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations and are subject
        to
        judicial and administrative decisions that affect our operations, including
        loan
        originations, maximum interest rates, fees and other
    charges,
        disclosures to portfolio companies, the terms of secured transactions,
        collection and foreclosure procedures and other trade practices. If these
        laws,
        regulations or decisions change, we may have to incur significant expenses
        in
        order to comply, or we may have to restrict our operations. In addition,
        if we
        do not comply with applicable laws, regulations and decisions, or fail to
        obtain
        licenses that may become necessary for the conduct of our business; we may
        be
        subject to civil fines and criminal penalties, any of which could have a
        material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations or financial
        condition.
    Our
        internal controls over financial reporting may not be adequate, and our
        independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify
        as to
        their adequacy, which could have a significant and adverse effect on our
        business and reputation.
    We
        are
        evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting.  We plan to
        design enhanced processes and controls to address any issues that might be
        identified.  As a result, we expect to incur significant additional
        expenses in the near term, which will negatively impact our financial
        performance and our ability to make distributions.  This process will
        also result in a diversion of management’s time and attention.  We
        cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of our evaluation, testing
        and
        remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations and may not
        be
        able to ensure that the process is effective or that the internal controls
        are,
        or will be, effective in a timely manner.  Beginning with our annual
        report for our fiscal year ended November 30, 2008, our management will be
        required to report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant
        to
        Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules and regulation sof
        the
        SEC thereunder.  We will be required to review on an annual basis our
        internal controls over financial reporting, and to disclose on a quarterly
        basis
        changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
        affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. There can be no
        assurance that our quarterly reviews will not identify material
        weaknesses.
    Risks
        Related to an Investment in the
U.S. Energy Infrastructure
        Sector
    Our
        portfolio is and will continue to be concentrated in the energy infrastructure
        sector, which will subject us to more risks than if we were broadly
        diversified.
    We
        invest
        primarily in privately-held and micro-cap public energy companies. Because
        we
        are specifically focused on the energy infrastructure sector, investments
        in our
        common shares may present more risks than if we were broadly diversified
        over
        numerous sectors of the economy. Therefore, a downturn in the U.S. energy
        infrastructure sector would have a larger impact on us than on an investment
        company that does not concentrate in one sector of the economy. The energy
        infrastructure sector can be significantly affected by the supply of and
        demand
        for specific products and services; the supply and demand for crude oil,
        natural
        gas, and other energy commodities; the price of crude oil, natural gas, and
        other energy commodities; exploration, production and other capital
        expenditures; government regulation; world and regional events and economic
        conditions. At times, the performance of securities of companies in the energy
        infrastructure sector may lag the performance of securities of companies
        in
        other sectors or the broader market as a whole.
    The
        portfolio companies in which we invest are subject to variations in the supply
        and demand of various energy commodities.
    A
        decrease in the production of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil,
        coal,
        refined petroleum products or other energy commodities, or a decrease in
        the
        volume of such commodities available for transportation, mining, processing,
        storage or distribution, may adversely impact the financial performance of
        companies in the energy infrastructure sector. Production declines and volume
        decreases could be caused by various factors, including catastrophic events
        affecting production, depletion of resources, labor difficulties, political
        events, OPEC actions, environmental proceedings, increased regulations,
        equipment failures and unexpected maintenance problems, failure to obtain
        necessary permits, unscheduled outages, unanticipated expenses, inability
        to
        successfully carry out new construction or acquisitions, import supply
        disruption, increased competition from alternative energy sources or related
        commodity prices. Alternatively, a sustained decline in demand for such
        commodities could also adversely affect the financial performance of companies
        in the energy infrastructure sector. Factors that could lead to a decline
        in
        demand include economic recession or other adverse economic conditions, higher
        fuel taxes or governmental regulations, increases in fuel economy, consumer
        shifts to the use of alternative fuel sources, changes in commodity prices
        or
        weather.
    Many
        companies in the energy infrastructure sector are subject to the risk that
        they,
        or their customers, will be unable to replace depleted reserves of energy
        commodities.
    Many
        companies in the energy infrastructure sector are either engaged in the
        production of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined petroleum
        products or coal, or are engaged in transporting, storing, distributing and
        processing these items on behalf of producers. To maintain or grow their
        revenues, many customers of these companies need to maintain or expand their
        reserves through exploration of new sources
    of
        supply, through the development of existing sources, through acquisitions,
        or
        through long-term contracts to acquire reserves. The financial performance
        of
        companies in the energy infrastructure sector may be adversely affected if
        the
        companies to which they provide service are unable to cost-effectively acquire
        additional reserves sufficient to replace the natural
        decline.
    Our
        portfolio companies are and will be subject to extensive regulation because
        of
        their participation in the energy infrastructure
        sector.
    Companies
        in the energy infrastructure sector are subject to significant federal, state
        and local government regulation in virtually every aspect of their operations,
        including how facilities are constructed, maintained and operated, environmental
        and safety controls, and the prices they may charge for the products and
        services they provide. Various governmental authorities have the power to
        enforce compliance with these regulations and the permits issued under them,
        and
        violators are subject to administrative, civil and criminal penalties, including
        civil fines, injunctions or both. Stricter laws, regulations or enforcement
        policies could be enacted in the future that likely would increase compliance
        costs and may adversely affect the financial performance of companies in
        the
        energy infrastructure sector and the value of our investments in those
        companies.
    22
          Our
        portfolio companies are and will be subject to the risk of fluctuations in
        commodity prices.
    The
        operations and financial performance of companies in the energy infrastructure
        sector may be directly affected by energy commodity prices, especially those
        companies in the energy infrastructure sector owning the underlying energy
        commodity. Commodity prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes
        in
        market and economic conditions, the impact of weather on demand or supply,
        levels of domestic production and imported commodities, energy conservation,
        domestic and foreign governmental regulation and taxation and the availability
        of local, intrastate and interstate transportation systems. Volatility of
        commodity prices, which may lead to a reduction in production or supply,
        may
        also negatively impact the performance of companies in the energy infrastructure
        sector that are solely involved in the transportation, processing, storing,
        distribution or marketing of commodities. Volatility of commodity prices
        may
        also make it more difficult for companies in the energy infrastructure sector
        to
        raise capital to the extent the market perceives that their performance may
        be
        tied directly or indirectly to commodity prices. Historically, energy commodity
        prices have been cyclical and exhibited significant
        volatility.
    Our
      portfolio companies are and will be subject to the risk of extreme weather
      patterns.
    Extreme
        weather patterns, such as Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and Hurricanes Katrina and
        Rita
        in 2005 could result in significant volatility in the supply of energy and
        power. This volatility may create fluctuations in commodity prices and earnings
        of companies in the energy infrastructure sector. Moreover, any extreme weather
        patterns, such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, could adversely impact the
        assets
        and valuation of our portfolio companies.
    Acts
        of terrorism may adversely affect us.
    The
        value
        of our common shares, warrants, and our investments could be significantly
        and
        negatively impacted as a result of terrorist activities, such as the terrorist
        attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001; war, such as the
        war in Iraq and its aftermath; and other geopolitical events, including upheaval
        in the Middle East or other energy producing regions. The U.S. government
        has issued warnings that energy assets, specifically those related to pipeline
        infrastructure, production facilities and transmission and distribution
        facilities, might be specific targets of terrorist activity. Such events
        have
        led, and in the future may lead, to short-term market volatility and may
        have
        long-term effects on the U.S. economy and markets.
        Such events may also adversely affect our business and financial
        condition.
    |  | ITEM
                2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
                PROCEEDS. | 
On
      February 1, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective
      our
      Registration Statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-136923) for the initial
      public offering of 5,740,000 of our common shares at a price of $15.00 per
      share. We commenced our offering immediately thereafter. On February 7, 2007,
      we
      completed the sale of 5,740,000 shares of common stock at a price of $15.00
      per
      share. Merrill
    Lynch
      & Co. acted as the book running manager.  Stifel Nicolaus,
      Wachovia Securities, Oppenheimer & Co. and Ferris, Baker Watts Incorporated
      acted as co-managers.
    The
      gross
      proceeds of the offering were $86,100,000 and we received net proceeds from
      the
      offering (after deducting offering expenses of $850,574 and the sales load
      of
      $6,027,000) of $79,222,426.   Our total offering expenses
      consisted of legal, accounting, printing and miscellaneous
      expenses.  No payments for such expenses were made directly or
      indirectly to (i) any of our directors, officers or their associates,
      (ii) any person owning 10 percent or more of any class of our equity
      securities, or (iii) any of our affiliates.
    We
      used
      $19,098,750 of the net proceeds of the offering to pay dividends on, and redeem
      all of our previously outstanding Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and
      $12,600,000 of the net proceeds of the offering to repay the outstanding balance
      of our credit facility.  We used $23,000,000 of the net proceeds to
      fund additional long-term investments in new and existing portfolio companies
      this fiscal quarter.  The remaining net proceeds of the offering have
      been used to purchase short-term, temporary investments.
    On
      May
      11, 2007, we filed a resale registration statement covering securities issued
      in
      private placements prior to the company’s initial public
      offering.  The securities registered for resale are the common stock
      and warrants issued in September 2005 in our seed round, the common stock and
      warrants issued in December 2005 and January 2006 in our initial private
      placement, the warrants issued in December 2006, and the common stock issuable
      upon exercise of the warrants.  We will not receive any proceeds from
      the securities registered for resale, other than cash consideration in
      connection with the exercise of the warrants.  During the fiscal
      quarter ended May 31, 2007, 9,125 warrants were exercised at $15.00 per common
      share, for proceeds of $136,875.
    We
      did
      not repurchase any of our common shares during the
      period
      from our initial public offering through May 31, 2007.
