TORTOISE CAPITAL RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
February 28, 2009

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, of the energy infrastructure sector. The Company is regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company does not report results of operations internally on an operating segment basis. The Company is externally managed by Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser specializing in the energy sector. The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TTO.”

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. These investments generally are subject to restrictions on resale, have no established trading market and are fair valued on a quarterly basis. 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.

Effective December 1, 2007, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is applicable in conjunction with other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. More specifically, SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority given to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

In October 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. FSP No. 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. More specifically, FSP No. 157-3 states that significant judgment should be applied to determine if observable data in a dislocated market represents forced liquidations or distressed sales and are not representative of fair value in an orderly transaction. FSP No. 157-3 also provides further guidance that the use of a reporting entity’s own assumptions about future cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates is acceptable when relevant observable inputs are not available. In addition, FSP No. 157-3 provides guidance on the level of reliance of broker quotes or pricing services when measuring fair value in a non-active market stating that less reliance should be placed on a quote that does not reflect actual market transactions and a quote that is not a binding offer. The guidance in FSP No. 157-3 is effective upon issuance for all financial statements that have not been issued and any changes in valuation techniques as a result of applying FSP No. 157-3 are accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

Consistent with SFAS 157, the Company determines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Also, in accordance with SFAS 157, the Company has determined the principal market, or the market in which the Company exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity, to be the private secondary market. Typically, private companies are bought and sold based on multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues, or in limited cases, book value.

For private company investments, value is often realized through a liquidity event of the entire company. Therefore, the value of the company as a whole (enterprise value) at the reporting date often provides the best evidence of the value of the investment and is the initial step for valuing the Company’s privately issued securities. For any one company, enterprise value may best be expressed as a range of fair values, from which a single estimate of fair value will be derived. In determining the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the Company prepares an analysis consisting of traditional valuation methodologies including market and income approaches. The Company considers some or all of the traditional valuation methods based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to derive its estimate of enterprise value.

The fair value of investments in private portfolio companies is determined based on various factors, including enterprise value, observable market transactions, such as recent offers to purchase a company, recent transactions involving the purchase or sale of the equity securities of the company, or other liquidation events. The determined equity values will generally be discounted when the Company has a minority position, is subject to restrictions on resale, has specific concerns about the receptivity of the capital markets to a specific company at a certain time, or other comparable factors exist.

For equity and equity-related securities that are freely tradable and listed on a securities exchange or over-the-counter market, the Company fair values those securities at their last sale price on that exchange or over-the-counter market on the valuation date. If the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Company will use the price of the exchange that it 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 over-the-counter market on such day, the security will be valued at the mean between bid and ask price on such day.

An equity security of a publicly traded company acquired in a private placement transaction without registration is subject to restrictions on resale that can affect the security’s liquidity and fair value. Such securities that are convertible into or otherwise will become freely tradable will be valued based on the market value of the freely tradable security less an applicable discount. Generally, the discount will initially be equal to the discount at which the Company purchased the securities. To the extent that such securities are convertible or otherwise become freely tradable within a time frame that may be reasonably determined, an amortization schedule may be used to determine the discount.

The Board of Directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of private investments:

The quarterly valuation process begins with each investment being initially valued by the Valuation Officer of the Adviser. As part of this process, materials are prepared containing the supporting analysis, which are reviewed by the investment professionals of the Adviser;
The Investment Committee of the Adviser reviews the preliminary valuations, and the Valuation Officer of the Adviser considers and assesses, as appropriate, any changes that may be required to the preliminary valuations to address any comments provided by the Investment Committee of the Adviser;
An independent valuation firm engaged by the Board of Directors to provide third-party valuation consulting services performs certain limited procedures that the Board of Directors has identified and asked it to perform on a selection of these preliminary valuations as determined by the Board of Directors. For the period ended February 28, 2009, the independent valuation firm performed limited procedures on seven portfolio companies comprising approximately 91.2 percent of the total restricted investments at fair value as of February 28, 2009. Upon completion of the limited procedures, the independent valuation firm concluded that the fair value of the investments subjected to the limited procedures did not appear to be unreasonable;
The Board of Directors assesses the valuations and ultimately determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith.

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 (in which case the Company chooses payment-in-kind in lieu of cash), 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 months ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, the Company received $15,000 and $0 in fee income, respectively.

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, capital gains 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 entities after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Company.

Distributions received from portfolio companies which are paid in stock and are deemed to be income are included in distributions from investments in the Statement of Operations. Such amounts are recorded upon receipt and are based on the fair value of the shares received on that date.

For the period from December 1, 2008 through February 28, 2009, 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 has estimated distributions to be approximately 32 percent investment income and 68 percent return of capital.

E. Distributions to Stockholders –The amount of any quarterly distributions will be determined by the Board of Directors. Distributions to stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Company may not declare or pay distributions to its common stockholders if it does not meet asset coverage ratios required under the 1940 Act. The character of distributions made during the year may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. For the year ended November 30, 2008 and the period ended February 28, 2009, the Company’s distributions for book purposes were comprised of 100 percent return of capital. For the year ended November 30, 2008, the Company’s distributions for tax purposes were comprised of 3.2 percent investment income and 96.8 percent return of capital. The tax character of distributions paid for the current year will be determined subsequent to November 30, 2009.

F. Federal and State Income Taxation – The Company, as a corporation, is obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. Currently, the highest regular marginal federal income tax rate for a corporation is 35 percent; however, the Company anticipates a marginal effective tax rate of 34 percent due to expectations of the level of taxable income relative to the federal graduated tax rates, including the tax rate anticipated when temporary differences reverse. The Company may be subject to a 20 percent federal alternative minimum tax on its federal alternative minimum taxable income to the extent that its alternative minimum tax exceeds its regular federal income tax.

The Company invests its assets primarily in limited partnerships or limited liability companies 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 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. A valuation allowance is recognized, if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

G. Organization Expenses and Offering Costs - The Company is responsible for paying all organization and offering expenses. Offering costs related to the issuance of common stock are charged to additional paid-in capital when the stock is issued.

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.

3. Concentration of Risk
The Company’s goal is to provide stockholders with a high level of total return with an emphasis on distributions and distribution growth. The Company invests primarily in privately-held and micro-cap public companies focused on the midstream and downstream segments, and to a lesser extent the upstream segment, of the U.S. energy infrastructure sector. 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. 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 but excluding any net deferred tax asset) minus accrued liabilities other than (1) net deferred tax liabilities, (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.

On November 30, 2007, the Company entered into an Expense Reimbursement and Partial Fee Waiver Agreement with the Adviser. Under the terms of the agreement, the Adviser reimbursed the Company for certain expenses incurred beginning September 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2008 in an amount equal to an annual rate of 0.25 percent of the Company’s average monthly Managed Assets. On November 11, 2008, the Company entered into an Expense Reimbursement Agreement with the Adviser, for which the Adviser will reimburse the Company for certain expenses incurred beginning January 1, 2009 and ending December 31, 2009 in an amount equal to an annual rate of 0.25 percent of the Company’s average monthly Managed Assets. During the three months ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, the Adviser reimbursed the Company $65,461 and $91,647, respectively.

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 distributions 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. 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. During the three months ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, the Company accrued no investment income fees.

The second part of the incentive fee payable to the Adviser, the capital gain incentive 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 inception 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 gain fees paid to the Adviser in prior fiscal years. The capital gains fee is calculated and payable annually within thirty (30) days of the end of each fiscal year. 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 Adviser may, from time to time, waive or defer all or any part of the compensation described in the Investment Advisory Agreement.

The calculation of the capital gain fee does not include any capital gains that result from that portion of any scheduled periodic distributions made possible by the normally recurring cash flow from the operations of portfolio companies (“Expected Distributions”) that are characterized by the Company as return of capital for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles purposes. In that regard, any such return of capital will not be treated as a decrease in the cost basis of an investment for purposes of calculating the capital gains fee. This does not apply to any portion of any distribution from a portfolio company that is not an Expected Distribution. 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 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.

The payable for capital gain incentive fees is a result of the increase or decrease in the fair value of investments and realized gains or losses from investments. For the three months ended February 28, 2009, the Company accrued no capital gains incentive fees. For the three months ended February 29, 2008, the Company decreased the capital gain incentive fee payable by $279,665 as a result of the decrease in the fair value of investments during the period. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the capital gain 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. No capital gain incentive fees have been paid to date.

The Company has engaged U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC 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 February 28, 2009 and November 30, 2008 are as follows:

	February 28, 2009			November 30, 2008
Deferred tax assets:
Organization costs	$	(25,615	)	$	(26,160	)
Net unrealized loss on investment securities		(16,045,066	)		(11,287,920	)
Net operating loss carry forwards		(4,459,937	)		(3,319,098	)
Valuation allowance		4,026,458			2,814,891
		(16,504,160	)		(11,818,287	)
Deferred tax liabilities:

Basis reduction of investment in MLPs		7,226,292			6,134,540
Total net deferred tax (asset) liability	$	(9,277,868	)	$	(5,683,747	)

At February 28, 2009, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $4,026,458 for a portion of its deferred tax asset which it does not believe will, more likely than not, be realized. The Company estimates based on existence of sufficient evidence, primarily regarding the amount and timing of distributions to be received from portfolio companies, the ability to realize the remainder of its deferred tax assets. Any adjustments to those estimates will be made in the period such determination is made.

Management determined that no reserve for unrecognized tax benefits is necessary when temporary differences represent net future deductible amounts rather than net future taxable amounts. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as part of tax expense. No interest or penalties were accrued at February 28, 2009. All tax years since inception remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

Total income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 34 percent to net investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments before taxes as follows:

	For the three months			For the three months
	ended			ended
	February 28, 2009			February 29, 2008
Application of statutory income tax rate	$	4,442,452		$	1,123,412
State income taxes, net of federal taxes		363,236			132,166
Change in deferred tax valuation allowance		(1,211,567	)		-
Total income tax benefit	$	3,594,121		$	1,255,578

The provision for income taxes is computed by applying the federal statutory rate plus a blended state income tax rate. The components of income tax include the following for the periods presented:

	For the three months		For the three months
	ended		ended
	February 28, 2009		February 29, 2008
Deferred tax benefit
Federal	$	3,322,461	$	1,123,412
State		271,660		132,166
Total deferred benefit	$	3,594,121	$	1,255,578

Total tax benefit	$	3,594,121	$	1,255,578

The deferred income tax benefit of $3,594,121 for the period ended February 28, 2009 is net of the increase in valuation allowance of $1,211,567. As of November 30, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss for federal income tax purposes of approximately $9,175,000. The net operating loss may be carried forward for 20 years. If not utilized, this net operating loss will expire as follows: $3,911,000 and $5,264,000 in the years 2027 and 2028, respectively. The amount of deferred tax asset for net operating loss at February 28, 2009 also includes an amount for the period from December 1, 2008 through February 28, 2009. As of November 30, 2008, there was available an alternative minimum tax credit of $3,109, which may be credited in the future against regular income tax. This credit may be carried forward indefinitely.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table provides the fair value measurements of applicable Company assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2009. These assets are measured on a recurring basis.

9. Investment Transactions
For the three months ended February 28, 2009, the Company purchased (at cost) securities in the amount of $1,131,168 and sold securities (proceeds received) in the amount of $588,032 (excluding short-term debt securities). For the three months ended February 29, 2008, the Company purchased (at cost) securities in the amount of $2,001,241 and sold no securities (excluding short-term debt securities).

On July 17, 2008, LONESTAR Midstream Partners LP (LONESTAR) closed a transaction with Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PVR) for the sale of its gas gathering and transportation assets. LONESTAR distributed substantially all of the initial sales proceeds to its limited partners but did not redeem partnership interests. On July 24, 2008, the Company received a distribution of $10,476,511 in cash, 468,001 newly issued unregistered common units of PVR, and 59,503 unregistered common units of Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (NYSE: PVG). On July 24, 2008, the Company recorded the cash and the unregistered PVR and PVG common units it received at a cost basis equal to the fair value on the date of receipt, less a discount for illiquidity. The Company reduced its basis in LONESTAR by $20,427,674, approximately 82 percent of the respective relative value of the entire transaction, resulting in a realized gain of $1,104,244. The Company also reduced its basis in LSMP GP, LP by $403,488, approximately 71 percent of the respective relative value of the entire transaction, resulting in a realized gain of $1,007,962.

On February 3, 2009, the Company received a distribution of 37,305 freely tradable common units of PVR and 4,743 freely tradable common units of PVG. The Company recorded the PVR and PVG common units it received at a cost basis equal to the fair value on the date of receipt. The Company reduced its basis in LONESTAR by $746,180, approximately 3 percent of the respective relative value of the entire transaction, resulting in a realized loss of $184,201. The Company also reduced its basis in LSMP GP, LP by $14,996, approximately 3 percent of the respective relative value of the entire transaction, resulting in a realized gain of $11,057.

The Company expects to receive a future distribution of 37,304 freely tradable common units of PVR and 4,744 freely tradable common units of PVG units from units held in escrow to be released to LONESTAR twelve months from the closing date of the transaction (along with cash distributions received on the escrow units retained by the escrow agent). Additionally, the Company anticipates receiving a future cash distribution from LONESTAR of approximately $1,038,090 payable on December 31, 2009, and there are two future contingent payments due LONESTAR for which the Company’s expected portion would total approximately $9,638,829, payable in cash or common units of PVR (at PVR’s election). The contingent payments are based on the achievement of specific revenue targets by or before June 30, 2013. No payments are due if these revenue targets are not achieved.

The fair value of the LONESTAR and LSMP GP, LP units as of February 28, 2009 is based on unobservable inputs related to the potential receipt of future payments relative to the sales transaction as described above.

On October 1, 2008, Millennium sold its partnership interests to Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P. (EROC) for approximately $181,000,000 in cash and approximately four million EROC unregistered common units. In exchange for its Millennium partnership interests, the Company received $13,687,081 in cash and 373,224 EROC unregistered common units with an aggregate basis of $5,044,980 for a total implied value at closing of approximately $18,732,061. In addition, approximately 188,646 units with an aggregate cost basis of $2,593,882 are held in escrow for 18 months from the date of the transaction. This includes a reserve the Company has placed against the units held in the escrow for estimated post-closing adjustments. The Company originally invested $17,500,000 in Millennium (including common units and incentive distribution rights), and had an adjusted cost basis of $15,161,125 (after reducing its basis for cash distributions received since investment that were treated as return of capital). At the transaction closing, the Company recorded a realized gain for book purposes of $6,491,491, including a reserve the Company placed against the restricted cash and units held in the escrow for estimated post-closing adjustments. Subsequent to November 30, 2008, the Company increased the reserve against the units held in escrow for additional post-closing adjustments, resulting in a realized loss for the three months ended February 28, 2009 of $326,673. For purposes of the capital gain incentive fee, the realized gain is approximately $3,825,943, which excludes that portion of the fee that would be due as a result of cash distributions which were characterized as return of capital. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the capital gain 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. No capital gain incentive fees have been paid to date.

10. Credit Facility
On April 25, 2007, the Company entered into a committed credit facility with U.S. Bank, N.A. as a lender, agent and lead arranger, and Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. On March 21, 2008, the Company secured an extension to its revolving credit facility and on March 28, 2008, amended the credit agreement to exclude Bank of Oklahoma and include Wells Fargo as a lender, and to increase the total credit facility to $50,000,000. The revolving credit facility has a variable annual interest rate equal to the one-month LIBOR 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. The credit facility contains a covenant precluding the Company from incurring additional debt. The credit facility has a maturity date of March 20, 2009 (see Note 14—Subsequent Events for information regarding extension of the credit facility).

Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company must maintain asset coverage required under the 1940 Act. If the Company fails to maintain the required coverage, it may be required to repay a portion of an outstanding balance until the coverage requirement has been met. As of February 28, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the credit facility.

For the three months ended February 28, 2009, the average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the credit facility was utilized were $23,068,889 and 2.38 percent, respectively. As of February 28, 2009, the principal balance outstanding was $23,100,000 at a rate of 2.25 percent.

11. Common Stock
The Company has 100,000,000 shares authorized and 8,962,147 shares outstanding at February 28, 2009.

Shares at November 30, 2007		8,858,168
Shares issued through reinvestment of distributions		103,799
Shares issued upon exercise of warrants		180
Shares at November 30, 2008 and February 28, 2009		8,962,147

12. Warrants
At February 28, 2009, the Company had 945,594 warrants issued and outstanding. The warrants became exercisable on February 7, 2007 (the closing 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 the 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.

Warrants to purchase shares of common stock at $15.00 per share were outstanding during the periods reflected in the table above, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrants’ exercise price was greater than the average market value of the common shares, and therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

14. Subsequent Events
On March 2, 2009, the Company paid a distribution in the amount of $0.23 per common share, for a total of $2,061,294. Of this total, the dividend reinvestment amounted to $231,375.

On March 20, 2009, the Company entered into a 90-day extension of its amended credit facility. Terms of the extension provide for a secured revolving credit facility of up to $25,000,000. As of March 20, 2009, the Company has $22,100,000 outstanding on its credit facility. The credit agreement, as extended, terminates on June 20, 2009. The amended credit facility includes a provision requiring the Company to apply 100% of the proceeds from any private investment liquidation and 50% of the proceeds from the sale of any publicly traded portfolio assets to the outstanding balance of the facility. In addition, each prepayment of principal of the loans under the amended credit facility will permanently reduce the maximum amount of the loans under the amended credit agreement to an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the loans under the amended credit agreement immediately following the prepayment. During the extension, outstanding balances generally will accrue interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of (i) the one-month LIBOR plus 3.00 percent or (ii) 5.50 percent, with a fee of 0.50 percent on any unused balance of the facility. The Company anticipates arranging a more permanent lending arrangement in the near-term.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)

We may experience fluctuations in our 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.

Overview

We have elected to be regulated as a BDC and we are classified as a non-diversified closed-end 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 Code.

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. Companies in the midstream segment of the energy infrastructure sector engage in the business of transporting, processing or storing natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined petroleum products and renewable energy resources. Companies in the downstream segment of the energy infrastructure sector engage in distributing or marketing such commodities, and companies in the upstream segment of the energy infrastructure sector engage in exploring, developing, managing or producing such commodities. The energy infrastructure sector also includes producers and processors of coal and aggregates, two business segments that also are eligible for MLP status. We seek to invest in companies in the energy infrastructure sector that generally produce stable cash flows as a result of their fee-based revenues and proactive hedging programs which help to limit direct commodity price risk. Our goal is to provide our stockholders with a high level of total return, with an emphasis on distributions and distribution growth. We invest primarily in equity securities of companies that we expect to pay us distributions on a current basis and provide us distribution growth.

Performance Review and Portfolio Outlook

The first quarter of 2009 reflected mixed results as the MLP sector continued to manage through the global economic recession and the related credit crisis, and recover from significant deleveraging by certain hedge funds and other MLP investors in late 2008. While, in our view, midstream long-haul pipeline company fundamentals remain intact, falling commodity prices have caused some upstream companies to elect to conserve capital by curtailing drilling and/or production. In the midstream segment, gatherers and processors, particularly those whose revenues are based on make-whole or percent-of-proceeds contracts, were negatively impacted by lower prices and or volumes, and downstream companies have seen lower prices for NGLs as a result of increased inventory for the hurricane season and diminished demand. These challenges were manifest in the distribution decisions of certain MLPs, as some chose to reduce distribution growth, hold distributions steady or, in a few cases, reduce distributions.

For the three months ended February 28, 2009, the Wachovia MLP Total Return Index reflected a total return based on market value, assuming reinvestment of quarterly distributions, of 6.1 percent. Our total return for the three months ended February 28, 2009 based on market value, assuming reinvestment of quarterly distributions was 28.3 percent. Our total assets decreased from $112,321,057 as of November 30, 2008 to $103,518,043 as of February 28, 2009. Our net asset value as of February 28, 2009 was $8.67 compared to $9.96 at November 30, 2008. Presently, the total cost basis of our investments for financial statement reporting purposes exceeds the fair value we are reflecting on our Statement of Assets and Liabilities. That, combined with our operating losses, results in a deferred tax asset of $9,277,868 (net of a $4,026,458 valuation allowance), or approximately $1.04 per share. We do not include the deferred tax asset in the calculation of the management fee due to the Adviser.

Market values of MLPs, along with the values of our comparable private companies, have experienced substantial declines. As a result, we have selectively liquidated some of our public investments and used the proceeds to reduce our leverage. While this has improved our asset coverage ratios, it will likely reduce future distributable cash flow available to stockholders.

We recently announced a 90-day extension to our credit facility. We are continuing to work toward a longer-term arrangement; however, we acknowledge that these are uncertain credit markets. We reduced the facility to $25,000,000, and through the extension period at least half of any proceeds from the liquidation of public investments and all of the proceeds from the liquidation of private investments will be used to further reduce the facility. As mentioned above, subsequent to the end of the quarter, we liquidated a portion of our public investments and used the proceeds to reduce the amount outstanding on the credit facility to $19,300,000 as of April 8, 2009. On April 3, 2009 Legacy Reserves, LP announced that a private equity firm made a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding units of their company. If the sale is achieved at the stated price, the proceeds would further reduce our credit facility by approximately $3.0 million. Combined with the recent sales of public investments, this would result in a level of asset coverage that we feel is appropriate given the current market volatility.

We expect to see a continued divergence in subsector performance, with fee-based long-haul pipeline companies outperforming commodity sensitive companies. Despite significant headwinds, we believe gathering and processing companies with strategic operational assets, sufficient coverage, strong hedging programs and adequate liquidity will prevail. In our view, E&P companies will continue to experience pressure resulting from falling prices and rising operating costs reported during the second half of 2008. That said, we believe operating costs will fall in 2009 and 2010 as a result of price competition due to the overcapacity in a lower-priced commodity environment. In addition, we may see some companies begin to explore strategic alternatives such as joint ventures and acquisitions. We expect this year to be challenging; however, we continue to believe our companies play a critical role in producing, processing, transporting and storing energy in response to consumer demand.

Investment Review

Following is a summary of our investment activity during the three months ended February 28, 2009:

Mowood, LLC (“Mowood”) – Follow-on Investment
On December 5, 2008 we invested $515,000 in Mowood in the form of a promissory note with a fixed annual interest rate equal to 9.0 percent. The proceeds were used by Mowood for working capital purposes. On December 8, 2008, we entered into an agreement with Mowood to amend and combine the existing subordinated debt and multiple promissory notes into a single new promissory note with a principal balance of $8,800,000. The new note has an annual interest rate of 9.0 percent and a maturity date of December 31, 2009. Due to the start-up nature of Timberline (subsidiary of Mowood) and the delays encountered in completing its first three landfill gas to energy projects, we deemed it prudent to reduce the interest rate charged on Mowood’s debt and distributions on invested equity to 9.0 percent to provide Mowood more operational flexibility and growth capital.

In order to count portfolio securities as qualifying assets, a BDC must either control the issuer of the securities or must offer to make available to the issuer of the securities (other than small and solvent companies described above) significant managerial assistance. Making available significant managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby a BDC, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted, does so provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company through monitoring of portfolio company operations, selective participation in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising a portfolio company’s officers, or other organizational or financial guidance. As of December 1, 2008, we began charging Mowood $5,000 per month to cover our expenses related to the managerial assistance we are providing to them.

As of February 28, 2009, the value of our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) was $91,046,870 including equity investments of $82,246,870 and debt investments of $8,800,000 across the following segments of the energy infrastructure sector:

(1)		Fair value as of February 28, 2009.

(3)		Includes original purchase of 3 percent equity interest, sale of 0.6274 percent equity interest in July 2007 and subsequent capital calls.

(4)		LONESTAR Midstream Partners, LP sold its assets to Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P in July 2008. LONESTAR has no continuing operations, but currently holds rights to receive future payments from PVR relative to the sale. The cost basis and the fair value of the LONESTAR and LSMP GP, LP units as of February 28, 2009 are related to the potential receipt of those future payments. Since this investment is not deemed to be “active”, the yield is not meaningful and we have excluded it from our weighted average yield to cost on investments as described below in Results of Operations.
(5)		Current yield represents an equity distribution on the previous quarter fair value of our invested capital, including the effect of the management incentive plan, divided by the amount invested. We expect that, pending cash availability, such equity distributions will recur on a quarterly basis at or above such yield.

Portfolio Company Monitoring

Our Adviser monitors each portfolio company to determine progress relative to meeting the company’s business plan and to assess the company’s strategic and tactical courses of action. This monitoring may be accomplished by attendance at Board of Directors meetings, ad hoc communications with company management, 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 enable 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:

	(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 February 28, 2009, all of our portfolio companies have a rating of (1), with the exception of Quest Midstream Partners, L.P., which has a rating of (3).

High Sierra Energy, L.P. (“High Sierra”) experienced tightening of its transactional trade finance credit line, made more difficult by its exposure to a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code filed by SemGroup, L.P. and certain of its subsidiaries in July 2008. In response to these challenges, High Sierra utilized cash generated from operations to reduce borrowings and to support its marketing businesses. High Sierra elected to distribute additional common units in lieu of a cash distribution to its common unit holders during our fiscal quarters ended August 31, 2008 and November 30, 2008, and therefore we had assigned it a rating of (2) as of November 30, 2008. Most recently, during our fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2009, the board of directors for High Sierra elected to pay a cash distribution of $0.61 per unit to all common unit holders. Primarily as a result of the return to payment of a cash distribution, High Sierra was upgraded to a rating of (1) as of February 28, 2009.

Quest Midstream Partners, L.P. (“Quest Midstream”) continues to face challenges as a result of the August 2008 alleged misappropriation of funds by Jerry Cash, former CEO and Chairman of Quest Resource Corporation (NASDAQ: QRCP), Quest Energy Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: QELP) and Quest Midstream. Quest Midstream suspended distributions to its common unit holders during our quarter ended November 30, 2008, and accordingly, we assigned the company a rating of (2) as of November 30, 2008. During our fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2009, Quest Midstream again did not pay a distribution to its common unit holders. The company is currently in compliance, and expects to remain in compliance, with its bank covenants. Quest Midstream could resume distributions to common unit holders, subject to debt covenant requirements; however, since the company anticipates a reduction in its gathering rate beginning in 2010, we do not expect to receive any distributions in 2009. Further, our fair value for Quest Midstream has declined substantially this quarter and it appears that the investment will not likely provide a full repayment of the amount invested. Accordingly, Quest Midstream has been downgraded to a rating of (3) as of February 28, 2009.

Results of Operations

Set forth below are the results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2009 as compared to February 29, 2008.

Investment Income: Investment income decreased $21,834 for the three months ended February 28, 2009 as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2008; however, total distributions from investments increased $99,056 in comparison to the prior fiscal year. The decrease in investment income is generally due to less interest income received from debt investments subsequent to the VantaCore debt redemption. The increase in total distributions from investments is attributable to follow-on investments and distribution increases from several of our portfolio companies.

The weighted average yield (to cost) on our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) as of February 28, 2009 was 7.8 percent as compared to 8.8 percent at February 29, 2008. The decrease in the weighted average yield to cost is related to slightly lower yields on securities received from our two realization events last fiscal year, as well as Quest’s non-payment of a distribution during the current quarter.

Net Expenses: Net expenses decreased $246,120 during the three months ended February 28, 2009 as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2008. The decrease is primarily attributable to less base management fees payable to the Adviser as a result of the decreased value of the investment portfolio.

Distributable Cash Flow: Our portfolio generates cash flow to us from which we pay distributions 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 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. 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 do not include in distributable cash flow the value of distributions received from portfolio companies which are paid in stock as a result of credit constraints, market dislocation or other similar issues.

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 months ended February 28, 2009 as compared to the three months ended February 29, 2008:

Net Investment Income: Net investment income for the three months ended February 28, 2009 was $266,657 as compared to $89,003 for the three months ended February 29, 2008. The increase in net investment income is primarily related to the decrease in net expenses described above.

Net Realized and Unrealized Loss: We had unrealized depreciation of $9,376,241 (after deferred taxes) as compared to $2,137,578 (after deferred taxes) for the three months ended February 29, 2008. We had realized losses for the three months ended February 28, 2009 of $362,331 (after deferred taxes) as compared to no realized gains or losses for the three months ended February 29, 2008. The realized losses for the current period are attributable to the Millennium realization event as described in Note 9 to the financial statements.

Recent Developments

On March 2, 2009, the Company paid a distribution in the amount of $0.23 per common share, for a total of $2,061,294. Of this total, the dividend reinvestment amounted to $231,375.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect to raise additional capital to support our future growth through equity offerings, rights offerings, and issuances of senior securities or future borrowings to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and our current credit facility and subject to market conditions. 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. We are restricted in our ability to incur additional debt by the terms of our credit facility. We have filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, when effective, will facilitate raising additional capital.

Borrowings

Total leverage outstanding on our credit facility at February 28, 2009 was $23,100,000, representing approximately 22 percent of total assets, including our deferred tax asset. We are, and intend to remain, in compliance with our asset coverage ratios under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and our basic maintenance covenants under our credit facility.

On March 21, 2008, we secured an extension to our revolving credit facility and on March 28, 2008, amended the credit agreement to exclude Bank of Oklahoma and include Wells Fargo as a lender, and to increase the total credit facility to $50,000,000. The revolving credit facility has a variable annual interest rate equal to the one-month LIBOR 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 our assets. The credit facility contains a covenant precluding us from incurring additional debt. The credit facility has a maturity date of March 20, 2009. See discussion below regarding extension of the credit facility.

On March 20, 2009, we entered into a 90-day extension of its amended credit facility. Terms of the extension provide for a secured revolving credit facility of up to $25,000,000. As of April 8, 2009, we had $19,300,000 outstanding on our credit facility. The credit agreement, as extended, terminates on June 20, 2009. The amended credit facility includes a provision requiring us to apply 100% of the proceeds from any private investment liquidation and 50% of the proceeds from the sale of any publicly traded portfolio assets to the outstanding balance of the facility. In addition, each prepayment of principal of the loans under the amended credit facility will permanently reduce the maximum amount of the loans under the amended credit agreement to an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the loans under the amended credit agreement immediately following the prepayment. During the extension, outstanding balances generally will accrue interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of (i) the one-month LIBOR plus 3.00 percent or (ii) 5.50 percent, with a fee of 0.50 percent on any unused balance of the facility. We anticipate arranging a more permanent lending arrangement in the near-term.

(1)

At February 28, 2009, the outstanding balance under the credit facility was $23,100,000, with a maturity date of March 20, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are 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.

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 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 including debt and equity securities of privately-held companies. These investments generally are subject to restrictions on resale, have no established trading market and are fair valued on a quarterly basis. 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.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income Recognition

Securities 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITIATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our business activities contain elements of market risk. We consider fluctuations in the value of our equity securities and the cost of capital under our credit facility to be our principal market risk.

We carry our investments at fair value, as determined by our Board of Directors. The fair value of securities is determined using readily available market quotations from the principal market if available. The fair value of securities that are not publicly traded or whose market price is not readily available is determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Because there are no readily available market quotations 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 of Directors 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 readily available market quotations, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the fair values that would have been used had a ready market quotation existed for such investments, and these differences could be material.

As of February 28, 2009, the fair value of our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) totaled $91,046,870. We estimate that the impact of a 10 percent increase or decrease in the fair value of these investments, net of capital gain incentive fees and related deferred taxes, would increase or decrease net assets applicable to common stockholders by approximately $5,644,906.

As of February 28, 2009, our revolving credit facility has a variable annual interest rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 1.75 percent. We estimate that a one percentage point interest rate movement in the average market interest rates (either higher or lower) for the three month period during which the credit facility was utilized would either increase or decrease net investment income by approximately $57,672.

Debt investments in our portfolio may be based on floating or 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 February 28, 2009, we had no floating rate debt investments outstanding.

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.

ITEM 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) or 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) or 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
