Tortoise Capital Resources Corporation

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
February 28, 2010

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 and coal/aggregates segments, 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 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.

Consistent with ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements, 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 ASC 820, the Company has determined the principal market, or the market in which the Company exits its private 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 from 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 the last bid price and last 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:

An independent valuation firm engaged by the Board of Directors to provide independent, third-party valuation consulting services performs certain procedures that the Board of Directors has identified and asked it to perform on a selection of private investments as determined by the Board of Directors. For the period ended February 28, 2010, the independent valuation firm performed positive assurance valuation procedures on six portfolio companies comprising approximately 94 percent of the total restricted investments at fair value as of February 28, 2010;
The preliminary valuations and supporting analyses are initially reviewed by the investment professionals of the Adviser;
The Investment Committee of the Adviser reviews the preliminary valuations, and considers and assesses, as appropriate, any changes that may be required to the preliminary valuations;
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, 2010 and February 28, 2009, the Company received $10,392 and $15,000 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.

For the period from December 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010, 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 approximately 33 percent as investment income and approximately 67 percent as 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. If the Company has outstanding leverage, it 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, 2009 and the period ended February 28, 2010, the Company’s distributions for book purposes were comprised of 100 percent return of capital. For the year ended November 30, 2009, the Company’s distributions for tax purposes were comprised of 100 percent return of capital. The tax character of distributions paid to common stockholders in the current year will be determined subsequent to November 30, 2010.

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 was responsible for paying all organization expenses, which were expensed as incurred. 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.

I. Recent Accounting Pronouncement

Standard on Fair Value Measurement
On January 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and requires additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose (i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions, (ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer, and (iii) purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009; however, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, the Company is evaluating the impact of the amendment to the financial statements.

3. Concentration of Risk
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 and coal/aggregate segments, 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
For the period from December 1, 2008 through September 14, 2009, the Company had an Investment Advisory Agreement with Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. On September 15, 2009, the Company entered into a new Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser as a result of a change in control of the Adviser and the previous Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser automatically terminated. The terms of the new Investment Advisory Agreement are substantially identical to the terms of the previous Investment Advisory Agreement, except for the effective and termination dates, and simply continue the relationship between the Company and the Adviser.

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory 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 reimbursed 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. On February 17,

2010, the Company entered into an Expense Reimbursement Agreement with the Adviser under which the Adviser will reimburse the Company for certain expenses incurred beginning January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010 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, 2010 and February 28, 2009, the Adviser reimbursed the Company $51,564 and $65,461, 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, 2010 and February 28, 2009, 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 gain incentive 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 gain incentive fee calculation shall be undertaken as of, and any resulting capital gain incentive 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 incentive 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 gain incentive 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, 2010 and February 28, 2009, the Company accrued no capital gain incentive fees. 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, 2010 and November 30, 2009 are as follows:

	February 28, 2010			November 30, 2009
Deferred tax assets:
Organization costs	$	(23,900	)	$	(24,456	)
Net unrealized loss on investment securities		(1,313,484	)		(2,416,767	)
Capital loss carryforwards		(4,237,706	)		(6,084,585	)
Net operating loss carryforwards		(4,353,419	)		(5,112,040	)
AMT and State of Kansas credit		(5,039	)		(5,039	)
Valuation allowance		1,984,576			3,038,089
		(7,948,972	)		(10,604,798	)
Deferred tax liabilities:
Basis reduction of investment in partnerships		3,245,232			5,175,407
Total net deferred tax asset	$	(4,703,740	)	$	(5,429,391	)

At February 28, 2010, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $1,984,576 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 such estimates will be made in the period such determination is made. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as part of tax expense. As of February 28, 2010, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. No interest or penalties were accrued at February 28, 2010. 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 and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments before taxes as follows:

	For the three			For the three
	months ended			months ended
	February 28, 2010			February 28, 2009
Application of statutory income tax rate	$	1,612,679		$	(4,442,452	)
State income taxes, net of federal taxes		166,485			(363,236	)
Change in deferred tax valuation allowance		(1,053,513	)		1,211,567
Total income tax expense (benefit)	$	725,651		$	(3,594,121	)

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		For the three
	months ended		months ended
	February 28, 2010		February 28, 2009
Deferred tax expense (benefit)
Federal	$	657,748	$	(3,322,461	)
State		67,903		(271,660	)
Total deferred expense (benefit)	$	725,651	$	(3,594,121	)

The deferred income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 includes the impact of the change in valuation allowance for such respective periods.

As of November 30, 2009, the Company had a net operating loss for federal income tax purposes of approximately $14,025,000. 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, $3,369,000 and $6,745,000 in the years 2027, 2028 and 2029, respectively. As of November 30, 2009, the Company had a capital

loss carryforward of approximately $16,000,000 which may be carried forward for 5 years. If not utilized, this capital loss will expire in the year ending November 30, 2014. The amount of the deferred tax asset for these items at February 28, 2010 also includes amounts for the period from December 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010. For corporations, capital losses can only be used to offset capital gains and cannot be used to offset ordinary income. As of November 30, 2009, an alternative minimum tax credit of $3,109 was available, which may be credited in the future against regular income tax. This credit may be carried forward indefinitely.

The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes and securities with unrealized appreciation and depreciation, were as follows:

	February 28, 2010			November 30, 2009
Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes	$	78,879,283		$	76,627,528
Gross unrealized appreciation		14,615,760			15,304,091
Gross unrealized depreciation		(9,465,805	)		(7,949,679	)
Net unrealized appreciation	$	5,149,955		$	7,354,412

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)

Valuation Techniques
In general, and where applicable, the Company uses readily available market quotations based upon the last updated sales price from the principal market to determine fair value. This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 1 investments.

An equity security of a publicly traded company acquired in a private placement transaction without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), is subject to restrictions on resale that can affect the security’s fair value. If such a security is convertible into publicly-traded common shares, the security generally will be valued at the common share market price adjusted by a percentage discount due to the restrictions. This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 2 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 tables provide the fair value measurements of applicable Company assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009. These assets are measured on a recurring basis.

9. Investment Transactions
For the three months ended February 28, 2010, the Company purchased (at cost) securities in the amount of $750,000 and sold securities (at proceeds) in the amount of $9,839,190 (excluding short-term debt securities). For the three months ended February 28, 2009, the Company purchased (at cost) securities in the amount of $1,131,168 and sold securities (at proceeds) in the amount of $588,032 (excluding short-term debt securities).

On February 9, 2010, Mowood, LLC closed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Timberline Energy, LLC, to Landfill Energy Systems, LLC. Timberline is an owner and developer of projects that convert landfill gas to energy. Mowood will continue its ownership and operation of Omega Pipeline Company, LLC (“Omega”), a local distribution company which serves the natural gas and propane needs of Fort Leonard Wood and other customers in south central Missouri. The Company received proceeds from the sale of $9,000,000, which were used to pay off the outstanding balance on its credit facility and to fund an additional investment of $750,000 in Omega to facilitate growth. The Company intends to invest the remaining proceeds according to its stated investment policies, which may include investments in publicly-traded securities. Over the next two years, the Company could receive additional proceeds of up to $2.4 million, based on contingent and escrow terms. In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into a guarantee agreement with the purchaser to unconditionally guarantee the sellers performance under the sale agreement, including certain related seller obligations in the Purchase Agreement.

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.

On July 17, 2009, the Company received a distribution of 37,304 freely tradable common units of PVR and 4,744 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 $179,731. 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 $14,303.

On December 31, 2009, the Company received a cash distribution from LONESTAR of $804,387. The Company reduced its basis in LONESTAR by $803,357, approximately 3 percent of the respective relative value of the entire transaction, resulting in a realized loss of $16,224. The Company also reduced its basis in LSMP GP, LP by $18,475, approximately 3 percent of the respective relative value of the entire transaction, resulting in a realized loss of $1,221.

There are also two future contingent payments due from LONESTAR which 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. If received, the Company’s expected portion would total approximately $9,638,829, payable in cash or common units of PVR (at PVR’s election). The fair value of the LONESTAR and LSMP GP, LP units as of February 28, 2010 is based on unobservable inputs related to the potential receipt of these future payments relative to the sales transaction.

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 212,404 units with an aggregate cost basis of 2,920,555 were placed in escrow for 18 months from the date of the transaction. This includes a reserve the Company 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 at closing 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 and a realized loss related to the reclassification of investment income and return of capital recognized based on the 2008 tax reporting information received from Millennium resulting in a revised cumulative realized gain for book purposes of $5,661,808. Of this amount, a realized loss for book purposes of $7,191 was recorded for the three months ended February 28, 2010. For purposes of the capital gain incentive fee, the realized gain totals $3,600,657, 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 December 1, 2008, the Company had a $50,000,000 committed credit facility with U.S. Bank, N.A., who served as a lender, agent and lead arranger. The revolving credit facility had a variable annual interest rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 1.75 percent and 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 contained a covenant precluding the Company from incurring additional debt.

On March 20, 2009, the Company entered into a 90-day extension of its amended credit facility. Terms of the extension provided for a secured revolving credit facility of up to $25,000,000. Effective June 20, 2009, the Company entered into a 60-day extension of its amended credit facility. The terms of the extension provided for a secured revolving credit facility of up to $11,700,000.

The credit agreement, as extended, had a termination date of August 20, 2009. Terms of these extensions required the Company to apply 100 percent of the proceeds from any private investment liquidation and 50 percent 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 would 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 these extensions, outstanding loan balances accrued interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of (i) one-month LIBOR plus 3.00 percent, and (ii) 5.50 percent.

On August 20, 2009, the Company entered into a six-month extension of its amended credit facility through February 20, 2010. Terms of the extension provided for a secured revolving facility of up to $5,000,000. The amended credit facility required the Company to apply 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of any investment to the outstanding balance of the facility. In addition, each prepayment of principal of the loans under the amended credit facility permanently reduced 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 this extension, outstanding loan balances accrued interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of (i) one-month LIBOR plus 3.00 percent, and (ii) 5.50 percent. On February 10, 2010, the Company paid off the remaining balance under the credit facility with proceeds from the sale of investments and the credit facility was terminated.

For the three months ended February 28, 2010, the average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the credit facility was utilized were $4,205,634 and 5.50 percent, respectively.

11. Common Stock
The Company has 100,000,000 shares authorized and 9,078,090 shares outstanding at February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009.

Shares at November 30, 2008	8,962,147
Shares issued through reinvestment of distributions	115,943
Shares at November 30, 2009 and February 28, 2010	9,078,090

12. Warrants
At February 28, 2010, 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 outstanding at November 30, 2009 and February 28, 2010	945,594

13. Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	For the three		For the three
	months ended		months ended
	February 28, 2010		February 28, 2009
Net increase (decrease) in net assets applicable to
common stockholders resulting from operations	$	4,017,523	$	(9,471,915	)
Basic weighted average shares		9,078,090		8,962,147
Average warrants outstanding(1)		—		—
Diluted weighted average shares		9,078,090		8,962,147
Basic and diluted net increase (decrease) in net assets
applicable to common stockholders resulting from
operations per common share	$	0.44	$	(1.06	)

(1)

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
The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through April 8, 2010, which is the date the financial statements were issued.

On March 1, 2010, the Company paid a distribution in the amount of $0.13 per common share, for a total of $1,180,152. Of this total, the dividend reinvestment amounted to $144,744.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Statements contained herein, other than historical facts, may constitute “forward-looking statements.” These statements may relate to, among other things, future events or our future performance or financial condition. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “believe,” “will,” “provided,” “anticipate,” “future,” “could,” “growth,” “plan,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “if,” “seek,” “possible,” “potential,” “likely” or the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any anticipated results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from forward-looking statements contained herein, please see the discussion under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

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 business development company (“BDC”) and we are classified as a non-diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 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.

We seek to 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 and coal and aggregates segments. 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 master limited partnership (“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.

Performance Review and Investment Outlook
Our first quarter resulted in a significant improvement of both our net asset value and our stock price. Net asset value as of February 28, 2010 was $9.60 per share, as compared to $9.29 at November 30, 2009. The increase in net asset value is largely attributable to an increase in our private company valuations, most notably International Resource Partners LP and Mowood (which continues to own and operate Omega Pipeline Company). Total investment return, based on net asset value and assuming reinvestment of distributions, was 5.28 percent for the quarter ending February 28, 2010. In the first quarter, we saw continued investor interest in the BDC sector with improved trading relative to net asset value and over $500 million of equity raised in the sector in January and February. Our stock price as of February 28, 2010 was $6.85, compared to $6.23 as of November 30, 2009. Our total investment return, based on market value and assuming reinvestment of distributions, was 12.02 percent for the three months ended February 28, 2010.

As previously reported, Mowood closed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Timberline Energy, LLC, to Landfill Energy Systems in February 2010. We received $9.0 million in cash distributions from Mowood. We used a portion of the proceeds to pay off our credit facility, which had an outstanding balance of $4.6 million as of November 30, 2009. We also invested $750,000 this quarter in Mowood, in the form of subordinated debt, to facilitate growth projects at Omega. The remainder of the proceeds received from the sale of Timberline were invested in publicly-traded securities after our quarter-end. Over the next two years, we could receive additional proceeds of up to $2.4 million based on the contingent and escrow terms contained in the sale agreement.

Another positive development in our portfolio was Quest Midstream Partners completing its transformation into a publicly traded C-corp, PostRock Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: PSTR). PSTR is the new corporation formed for the purpose of wholly owning all three Quest entities. PostRock announced on March 5, 2010 that shareholders of Quest Resource Corporation (“QRCP”) and Quest Energy Partners, L.P. (“QELP”) and unitholders of Quest Midstream Partners approved the merger and PostRock began trading on March 8, 2010. Upon closing of the merger, we received 490,769 freely tradable common units of PSTR in exchange for our 1,216,881 common units of Quest Midstream.

As of February 28, 2010, the value of our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) was $76.9 million, including equity investments of $71.6 million and debt investments of $5.3 million. Our portfolio is diversified among approximately 57 percent midstream and downstream investments, 8 percent upstream, and 35 percent in aggregates and coal. The weighted average yield (to cost) on our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) as of February 28, 2010 was 6.9 percent. A summary of our investments follows:

The cost basis and the fair value of the LONESTAR and LSMP GP, LP units as of February 28, 2010 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.
(6)		Current yield on our equity interest represents an equity distribution on our invested capital. 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 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 private 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 information that will enable us 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 private investments. We intend to disclose, as appropriate, those risk factors that we deem most relevant in assessing the risk of any particular investment. Such factors may include, but are not limited to, the investment’s current cash distribution status, compliance with loan covenants, operating and financial performance, changes in the regulatory environment or other factors that we believe are useful in determining overall investment risk.

High Sierra Energy, LP (“High Sierra”)
High Sierra is a holding company with diversified midstream energy assets focused on the transportation, storage and marketing of hydrocarbons. The company’s businesses include a natural gas liquids logistics, transportation and marketing business operating throughout the lower 48 states, a natural gas storage facility in Mississippi, an ethanol terminal in Nevada, crude oil and natural gas liquids trucking businesses in Kansas and Colorado, crude oil gathering, transportation and marketing services, primarily focused in the Mid-Continent, Western and Gulf Coast regions, water treatment, transportation and disposal businesses serving oil and gas producers in Wyoming and Oklahoma, and two asphalt processing, packaging and distribution terminals in Florida. We hold board of directors’ observation rights for High Sierra.

During our first fiscal quarter, High Sierra maintained its quarterly cash distribution of $0.63 per unit, which was paid in February 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the company reported aggregate, unaudited EBITDA results, before mark-to-market adjustments and minority interests, and excluding results of unconsolidated entities, approximately at budget. Results within the various business units were mixed, with favorable results at the company’s Anticline water treatment facility in Pinedale, Wyoming, and Centennial Energy (natural gas liquids marketing) units generally offsetting weaker-than-budgeted performance from several other business units. National Coal County, an Oklahoma based water transportation and disposal service company acquired in 2007, continued to struggle with reported results significantly below expectations, driven in part by a reduction in drilling activities in its service territory. At High Sierra Crude Oil & Marketing, favorable gross margins were offset by higher-than-budgeted delivery expenses. The prolonged downturn of construction in Florida continues to produce lower results in High Sierra’s asphalt business. Monroe Gas Storage (“MGS”), an underground natural gas storage joint venture, began commercial operations in 2009. MGS was not consolidated by High Sierra during 2009. On March 1, 2010, High Sierra assumed the role of operator of the facility. It is expected that the change will result in consolidation of MGS’s financial results by High Sierra going forward.

High Sierra continues to work on refinancing its bank credit facilities. Subsequent to February 28, 2010, the terms of the working capital facility were amended and it was also extended to May 31, 2010. The frequency and amount of High Sierra’s distribution payments are subject to both operating performance and terms of financing arrangements.

International Resource Partners LP (“IRP”)
IRP’s surface and underground coal mine operations in southern West Virginia are comprised of metallurgical and steam coal reserves, a coal washing and preparation plant, rail load-out facilities and a sales and marketing subsidiary. We hold board of director’s observation rights for IRP.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, IRP reported EBITDA results well in excess of its budget. In January 2010, IRP purchased certain assets of Miller Brothers Coal, LLC in eastern Kentucky for approximately $22.7 million net cash and a 1.0 percent royalty on future sales from the property. Lightfoot Capital Partners purchased 980,000 new Class A units in IRP to finance the majority of the transaction. The assets include both leased and owned properties with capacity for seven surface and three underground mines. The acquisition is not expected to significantly contribute to IRP’s EBITDA until 2011. With this transaction, IRP’s existing reserves will be approximately 82.4 million tons.

Mowood, LLC (“Mowood”)
Mowood is the holding company of Omega Pipeline, LLC (“Omega”). We hold 100 percent of the equity interests in Mowood and currently hold a seat on its board of directors. In February 2010, Mowood sold its wholly owned subsidiary, Timberline Energy, LLC, to Landfill Energy Systems, LLC.

Omega is a natural gas local distribution company located on the Fort Leonard Wood military installation in south central Missouri. Omega serves the natural gas and propane needs of Fort Leonard Wood and other customers in the surrounding area. Omega was slightly behind budget through January 2010. Omega’s performance is expected to be at or above budget in the following months as construction and growth projects at the Fort make larger contributions to profitability. Following the sale of Timberline, we made an additional investment of $750,000 in Omega to facilitate growth.

Quest Midstream Partners, L.P. (“Quest Midstream”)
Quest Midstream was formed by the spin-off of QRCP’s midstream coal bed methane natural gas gathering assets in the Cherokee Basin. Quest Midstream owns more than 2,000 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines (primarily serving QELP, an affiliate) and over 1,100 miles of interstate natural gas transmission pipelines in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.

On February 8, 2010, QRCP and QELP announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Registration Statement of PostRock Energy Corporation (“PostRock”) on Form S-4. PostRock is a new corporation formed for the purpose of wholly owning all three Quest entities. The Form S-4 registered with the SEC PostRock’s common stock to be issued in connection with the merger of QRCP, QELP, and Quest Midstream.

PostRock announced on March 5, 2010 that shareholders of QRCP and QELP and unitholders of Quest Midstream approved the merger and PostRock began trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol “PSTR” on March 8, 2010. Upon closing of the merger, we received 490,769 freely tradable common units of PostRock in exchange for our 1,216,881 common units of Quest Midstream. PostRock is not expected to pay cash dividends. The merger changes the risk profile of our investment from primarily a gathering company to an integrated company that has increased drilling risk and commodity exposure.

VantaCore Partners LP (“VantaCore”)
VantaCore was formed to acquire companies in the aggregate industry and currently owns a quarry and asphalt plant in Clarksville, Tennessee and sand and gravel operations located near Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We hold a seat on VantaCore’s board of directors.

VantaCore paid a quarterly cash distribution for their fourth quarter of $0.475 per unit, the minimum quarterly distribution, in February 2010. The operating results at VantaCore’s Clarksville facility continue to exceed budget, supported by two large projects and activity at the Fort Campbell military base. Overall construction activity in the area is down, but signs of improvement are becoming apparent with jobs for bid steadily increasing. Southern Aggregates continues to report disappointing results with volumes well below historical numbers. VantaCore has made significant changes to Southern Aggregates’ operations to reflect the lower volumes seen and VantaCore believes that 2010 will yield improved construction spending in the area.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009
Investment Income: Investment income decreased $391,690 for the three months ended February 28, 2010 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2009. The decrease in investment income is primarily due to the sale of portfolio investments to pay down outstanding leverage. The weighted average yield to cost on our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) as of February 28, 2010 was 6.9 percent, as compared to 7.8 percent at February 28, 2009. The decrease in the weighted average yield to cost is primarily related to the sale of higher yielding publicly traded securities to pay down outstanding leverage.

Net Expenses: Net expenses decreased $237,551 during the three months ended February 28, 2010 as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2009. The decrease is primarily related to a reduction in base management fees payable to the Adviser and a decrease in interest expense resulting from the paydown of our outstanding leverage.

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 reviews 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 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, 2010 as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2009:

Distributions: The following table sets forth distributions for the three months ended February 28, 2010 as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2009.

Record Date	Payment Date	Amount
February 19, 2010	March 1, 2010	$0.1300
February 23, 2009	March 2, 2009	$0.2300

Net Investment Income: Net investment income for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was $181,007 after deferred tax expense as compared to $266,657 after deferred tax expense for the three months ended February 28, 2009. The variance in net investment income is primarily related to a decrease in investment income and corresponding decreases in net expenses during the current fiscal periods as described above.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss): We had net unrealized appreciation of $2,491,319 (after deferred taxes) for the three months ended February 28, 2010 as compared to net unrealized depreciation of $9,376,241 (after deferred taxes) for the three months ended February 28, 2009. We had net realized gains for the three months ended February 28, 2010 of $1,345,197 (after deferred taxes) as compared to net realized losses for the three months ended February 28, 2009 of $362,331 (after deferred taxes). The net realized gains for the current period are primarily attributable to the sale of Mowood’s subsidiary, Timberline, as described in the Portfolio Company Monitoring section above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We may raise additional capital to support our future growth through equity offerings, rights offerings, and issuances of senior securities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act 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.

Contractual Obligations
We do not have any significant contractual payment obligations as of February 28, 2010.

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.

Borrowings
For the three months ended February 28, 2010, the average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the credit facility was utilized were $4,205,634 and 5.50 percent, respectively. We used proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments to pay off and terminate the credit facility on February 10, 2010.

Recent Developments
On March 1, 2010, the Company paid a distribution in the amount of $0.13 per common share, for a total of $1,180,152. Of this total, the dividend reinvestment amounted to $144,744.

On February 8, 2010, QRCP and QELP announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Registration Statement of PostRock on Form S-4. PostRock is a new corporation formed for the purpose of wholly owning all three Quest entities. The Form S-4 registered with the SEC PostRock’s common stock to be issued in connection with the merger of QRCP, QELP, and Quest Midstream.

PostRock announced on March 5, 2010 that shareholders of QRCP and QELP and unitholders of Quest Midstream approved the merger and PostRock began trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol “PSTR” on March 8, 2010. Upon closing of the merger, we received 490,769 freely tradable common units of PSTR in exchange for our 1,216,881 common units of Quest Midstream. PostRock is not expected to pay cash dividends. The merger changes the risk profile of our investment from primarily a gathering company to an integrated company that has increased drilling risk and commodity exposure.

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. QUANTITATIVE 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, 2010, the fair value of our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) totaled $76,924,737. 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 $4,807,027.

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, 2010, 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 (identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
