NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
May 31, 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.
The Company determines fair value in accordance with 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.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 157-4 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
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.
11

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 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 May 31, 2009, the independent valuation firm performed limited procedures on seven portfolio companies comprising approximately 95.9 percent of the total restricted investments at fair value as of May 31, 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 and six months ended May 31, 2009, the Company accrued $15,000 and $30,000 in fee income, respectively. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2008, the Company accrued no fee income.
D. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. Distributions received from the Company’s investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital. The Company records investment income, 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.
12

For the period from December 1, 2007 through November 30, 2008, the Company estimated the allocation of investment income and return of capital for the distributions received from its portfolio companies within the Statement of Operations. For this period, the Company had estimated these distributions to be approximately 32 percent investment income and 68 percent return of capital.
Subsequent to November 30, 2008, the Company reallocated the amount of investment income and return of capital it recognized based on the 2008 tax reporting information received from the individual portfolio companies. This reallocation amounted to a decrease in pre-tax net investment income of approximately $1,242,000 or $0.138 per share ($785,000 or $0.087 per share, net of deferred tax benefit), an increase in unrealized appreciation of approximately $1,520,000 or $0.169 per share ($961,000 or $0.107 per share, net of deferred tax expense) and a decrease in realized gains of approximately $278,000 or $0.031 per share ($176,000 or $0.020 per share, net of deferred tax benefit).
Subsequent to the period ended February 28, 2009, the Company reallocated the amount of investment income and return of capital reported in the current fiscal year based on its revised 2009 estimates. This reallocation amounted to a decrease in pre-tax net investment income of approximately $413,000 or $0.046 per share ($261,000 or $0.029 per share, net of deferred tax benefit), an increase in unrealized appreciation of approximately $262,000 or $0.029 per share ($166,000 or $0.018 per share, net of deferred tax expense) and an increase in realized gains of approximately $151,000 or $0.017 per share ($95,000 or $0.011 per share, net of deferred tax expense).
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 May 31, 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 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.
13

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 and six months ended May 31, 2009 the Adviser reimbursed the Company $56,365 and $121,826, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2008, the Adviser reimbursed the Company $104,228 and $195,875, 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 and six months ended May 31, 2009 and the three and six months ended May 31, 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 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 and six months ended May 31, 2009, the Company accrued no capital gain incentive fees. For the three months ended May 31, 2008, the Company increased the capital gain incentive fee payable by $1,367,168 as a result of the increase in the fair value of investments during the period. For the six months ended May 31, 2008, the Company accrued $1,087,503 in 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.
14

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 May 31, 2009 and November 30, 2008 are as follows:

	May 31, 2009		November 30, 2008	
Deferred tax assets:				    				
       Organization costs	$	(25,070	)		$	(26,160	)	
       Net unrealized loss on investment securities		       (10,019,452	)			       (11,287,920	)	
       Capital loss		(841,818	)			—		
       Net operating loss carry forwards	 	(5,984,036	)			(3,319,098	)	
       Valuation allowance	 	5,299,810	 		 	2,814,891	 	
		(11,570,566	)			(11,818,287	)	
Deferred tax liabilities:				 	 			
       Basis reduction of investment in MLPs	 	6,327,209	 		 	6,134,540	 	
 	
Total net deferred tax (asset) liability	$	(5,243,357	)		$	(5,683,747	)	

At May 31, 2009, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $5,299,810 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.
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 does not expect any change in such amounts of unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months subsequent to November 30, 2008. 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 May 31, 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		For the three	
	months ended		months ended	
	May 31, 2009	    	May 31, 2008	
Application of statutory income tax rate	$	2,552,458		$	3,277,633	
State income taxes, net of federal taxes		208,701			385,604	
Change in deferred tax valuation allowance	 	1,273,352		 	—	
 	
Total income tax expense	$	       4,034,511		$	       3,663,237	
15

	For the six		For the six	
	months ended		months ended	
	May 31, 2009	     	May 31, 2008	
Application of statutory income tax rate	$	       (1,889,994	)	 	$	       2,154,221	
State income taxes, net of federal taxes	 	(154,535	)			253,438	
Change in deferred tax valuation allowance	 	2,484,919	 		 	—	
Total income tax (benefit) expense	$	440,390			$	2,407,659	

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	
	May 31, 2009	     	May 31, 2008	
Deferred tax expense					
       Federal	$	       3,729,564		$	       3,277,633	
       State		304,947			385,604	
Total deferred expense	$	4,034,511		$	3,663,237	
Total tax expense	$	4,034,511		$	3,663,237	
 	
	For the six		For the six	
	months ended		months ended	
	May 31, 2009		May 31, 2008	
Deferred tax expense						
       Federal	$	407,103	 	$	2,154,221	
       State	 	33,287		 	253,438	
Total deferred expense	$	440,390		$	2,407,659	
Total tax expense	$	440,390		$	2,407,659	

The deferred income tax expense for both the three month and six month periods ended May 31, 2009 includes the impact of the change in valuation allowance for such respective periods.
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 and capital loss at May 31, 2009 also includes amounts for the period from December 1, 2008 through May 31, 2009. For corporations, capital losses can only be used to offset capital gains and cannot be used to offset ordinary income. As of November 30, 2008, 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:

	May 31, 2009	    	November 30, 2008	
Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes	$	105,373,491	 		$	120,148,896	 	
Gross unrealized appreciation		6,432,541				4,302,974		
Gross unrealized depreciation	 	(16,457,566	)	 	 	(18,300,640	)	
Net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation	$	       (10,025,025	)		$	       (13,997,666	)	

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)
16

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 May 31, 2009. These assets are measured on a recurring basis.

7. Restricted Securities
Certain of the Company’s investments are restricted and are valued as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Directors and more fully described in Note 2. The tables below show the equity interest, number of units or principal amount, the acquisition date(s), acquisition cost (excluding return of capital adjustments), fair value per unit of such securities and fair value as percent of net assets applicable to common stockholders as of May 31, 2009 and November 30, 2008.

8. Investments in Affiliates and Control Entities
 Investments representing 5 percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of a portfolio company result in that company being considered an affiliated company, as defined in the 1940 Act. Investments representing 25 percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of a portfolio company result in that company being considered a control company, as defined in the 1940 Act. The aggregate fair value of all securities of affiliates and controlled entities held by the Company as of May 31, 2009 amounted to $72,946,227, representing 90.9 percent of net assets applicable to common stockholders. The aggregate fair value of all securities of affiliates and controlled entities held by the Company as of November 30, 2008 amounted to $78,230,205, representing 87.7 percent of net assets applicable to common stockholders. A summary of affiliated transactions for each company which is or was an affiliate or controlled entity at May 31, 2009 or during the six months then ended and at November 30, 2008 or during the year then ended is as follows:

9. Investment Transactions
 For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the Company purchased (at cost) securities in the amount of $3,178,408 and sold securities (proceeds received) in the amount of $8,695,305 (excluding short-term debt securities). For the six months ended May 31, 2008, the Company purchased (at cost) securities in the amount of $3,500,000 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.
19

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.
Assuming there are no escrow claims, the Company expects to receive a 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 in July 2009 (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 May 31, 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 181,077 units with an aggregate cost basis of $2,489,809 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 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, resulting in a realized loss for the six months ended May 31, 2009 of $430,747. The Company also recorded an additional $277,724 in realized loss related to the reclassification of investment income and return of capital recognized based on the 2008 tax reporting information received from Millennium (see Note 2D—Security Transactions and Investment Income for additional information). For purposes of the capital gain incentive fee, the realized gain totals approximately $3,721,870, 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 had 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.
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. The credit agreement, as extended, terminates on June 20, 2009 (see Note 14 — Subsequent Events regarding additional extension of the credit facility). 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.
20

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 May 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the credit facility.
For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the credit facility was utilized were $21,523,626 and 3.62 percent, respectively. As of May 31, 2009, the principal balance outstanding was $18,800,000 at a rate of 5.50 percent.
11. Common Stock
 The Company has 100,000,000 shares authorized and 9,001,902 shares outstanding at May 31, 2009.

Shares at November 30, 2008  	8,962,147	
Shares issued through reinvestment of distributions  	39,755	
Shares at May 31, 2009  	9,001,902	

12. Warrants
 At May 31, 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 outstanding at November 30, 2008 and May 31, 2009  	945,594

(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
 On June 1, 2009, the Company paid a distribution in the amount of $0.13 per common share, for a total of $1,170,247. Of this total, the dividend reinvestment amounted to $121,968.
On June 19, 2009, the Company entered into a 60-day extension of its amended credit facility effective June 20, 2009 through August 20, 2009. The terms of the extension provide for a secured revolving credit facility of up to $11,700,000. The amended credit facility retains the provision from the previous extension requiring 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 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 loan balances generally will accrue interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of (i) one-month LIBOR plus 3.00 percent, and (ii) 5.50 percent, with a fee of 0.50 percent on any unused balance of the facility.

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

All statements contained herein, other than historical facts, 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 are externally managed by Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser specializing in the energy sector. On June 3, 2009, our Adviser announced that its senior management had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire, along with Mariner Holdings, LLC (“Mariner”), all of the ownership interests in the Adviser. As part of this proposed transaction, Mariner will purchase a majority stake in Tortoise, with the intention to provide growth capital and resources. With the provision of such growth capital and resources, Mariner will provide the Adviser with a complementary strategic partner in the asset management business. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2009 and is subject to customary regulatory approvals.
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 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.
Investment Outlook
 The recovery of MLP market values in 2009 has had a positive impact on the fair value of some of our portfolio holdings but others have continued to struggle. Our net asset value increased this quarter to $8.91 per share compared to $8.67 per share at February 28, 2009, but is still below our net asset value per share at November 30, 2009 of $9.96. We believe our credit line renewal process and distribution reductions have had an adverse impact on our stock price. Our total return for the six months ended May 31, 2009 based on market value, assuming reinvestment of quarterly distributions was -8.71 percent.
Credit constraints and liquidity concerns have been factors in the reduction or suspension of cash distributions to unit holders of certain of our portfolio companies, thus reducing our own distributable cash flow (“DCF”). On April 29, 2009, Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: EROC), citing a desire to enhance its liquidity position, announced a voluntary reduction in its quarterly distribution from $0.41 to $0.025 per unit. This resulted in a $0.04 per share decrease in our second quarter DCF. The closing price of EROC units fell from $6.43 on April 29 to $3.79 following the distribution reduction announcement. Prior to May 31, 2009, we liquidated 373,475 units of EROC and after quarter-end we sold our remaining freely tradable units, as well as the restricted units we received from the Millennium sale which were sold pursuant to Rule 144, to further reduce our leverage position. Another of our portfolio companies, Abraxas Energy Partners, L.P., elected to defer its distribution this quarter, resulting in a $0.02 per share reduction in our second quarter DCF. Furthermore, we do not expect any future cash distributions from this investment in light of the recently announced merger agreement with Abraxas Petroleum Corporation (NASDAQ: AXAS). On June 1, 2009, we paid a distribution in the amount of $0.13 per common share, a decrease of $0.10 per share as compared to the prior quarter.
23

We have reduced the balance on our credit facility from $23,100,000 at February 28, 2009 to approximately $11,700,000 as of July 6, 2009 using proceeds from the sale of some of our publicly traded securities. We recently announced a 60-day extension to our amended credit facility through August 20, 2009. We continue to seek a longer-term lending arrangement and to reduce our leverage position through the sale of publicly traded securities. Additionally, there may be opportunities to realize liquidity from a few of our private holdings in order to further reduce, or even eliminate, our leverage.
While we believe that the market and economy in general have shown small signs of recovery and we are cautiously optimistic about recovery in 2010, we believe that private companies and the private market may recover more slowly than the economy in general. To this end, we are defensively positioning our portfolio to manage through current credit constraints and general economic challenges. In our view, the fundamentals of our portfolio companies remain strong and the long-term prospects for energy infrastructure investments are attractive.
Portfolio Review
 As of May 31, 2009, the value of our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) was $91,170,398 including equity investments of $82,370,398 and debt investments of $8,800,000 across the following segments of the energy infrastructure sector:

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.

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 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 investments. During this fiscal quarter we discontinued rating our investments on a scale of (1) to (3). In our view, the three-point rating scale could not adequately capture and convey all of the factors that we consider in our assessment of overall investment risk. Going forward, it is our intent 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.
Abraxas Energy Partners, L.P.
 Abraxas suspended its distributions this quarter and recently announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Abraxas Petroleum Corporation (NASDAQ: AXAS) (see Recent Developments for additional information). The merger is expected to result in a borrowing base sufficient to have one tranche of debt, eliminating Abraxas’ second lien debt. However, the merger is expected to result in the permanent discontinuation of distributions as well as a more exploration oriented risk profile. If the merger is not approved by Abraxas Petroleum shareholders or regulators, Abraxas, under its current loan agreements, would be faced with significant debt amortization payments due to the maturity of its second lien debt which would preclude its ability to pay distributions until the second lien debt was paid off or refinanced.
High Sierra Energy, LP
 Year-to-date overall performance against budget has been favorable, enabling High Sierra to maintain a strong cash position. The company recently renewed the extension of its Monroe Gas facility and expanded its corporate revolver by $20 million, significantly reducing liquidity concerns. Depressed natural gas prices and high basis differentials in certain of the areas served by the company’s water handling operations have dampened drilling and production activities, but construction, permitting and testing of the company’s discharge plant in the Anticline is complete and the plant is operating commercially, providing capacity for increased water-handling and treatment activities in the area. In addition, Monroe Gas Storage, High Sierra’s Mississippi-based natural gas storage facility, although not complete, has commenced commercial operations. The facility is expected to be a significant contributor to High Sierra’s future overall results.
International Resource Partners LP
 Demand and pricing for both Central Appalachian steam coal and metallurgical coal have fallen dramatically from last year’s levels, as the worldwide recession has lowered industrial electricity usage and significantly curtailed domestic and international steel production. While the recession continues, some examples of increased demand for coal have surfaced. IRP is buoyed by strong cash balances resulting from last year’s operations, proactive steps taken by management to offset the reduction in sales, and strong first quarter results at its marketing subsidiary. For year-to-date period the company is above its budget and in compliance with all bank covenants.
27

Mowood, LLC
 Mowood is comprised of two primary subsidiaries: Omega Pipeline Company, LLC and Timberline Energy, LLC. Omega has performed in-line with its budget and is expected to continue to post strong results during the year as expansion projects at Fort Leonard Wood enhance results. Timberline has performed moderately below budget for the year-to-date period as a result of startup operational issues. Timberline has been working to resolve its operational issues and to expand capacity at its existing locations which management believes will result in improved performance. Timberline has structured its off-take contracts to eliminate or minimize commodity exposure in an effort to create more predictable performance. Mowood as a consolidated entity remains in compliance with all bank covenants.
Quest Midstream Partners, LP
 Quest recently announced a definitive agreement to merge with Quest Resources Corp (NASDAQ: QRCP) and Quest Energy Partners (NASDAQ: QELP) into a new publicly traded company which is not expected to pay dividends (see Recent Developments for additional information). The new company’s strategy will be to create shareholder value through the efficient development of unconventional resource plays, including coalbed methane in the Cherokee Basin of southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma and the Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian Basin. Management expects significant cost savings from the simplified structure. The merger would change the risk profile of our investment from primarily a gathering company to an integrated company that has increased drilling risk and commodity exposure. If the merger were not to be approved by shareholders or regulators, we believe Quest would be able to profitably operate in 2009, but would face significant operational risk created by a lower gathering rate in 2010 and significant financial pressures on QELP, its primary customer and QRCP. Quest is in compliance with its bank covenants.
VantaCore Partners LP
 VantaCore’s business is closely linked to the level of commercial construction and infrastructure spending in the two major territories it serves. Due to the weakened economy and difficult credit environment, base line construction spending in these sectors has been significantly reduced, resulting in lower than anticipated revenues for the company. In addition, wetter than normal spring weather delayed the typical seasonal uptrend in VantaCore’s sand and gravel operations in Louisiana. Management has responded to these challenges by implementing cost saving initiatives and by prudently reducing capital expenditures. In addition, the impact has been or is expected to be partially offset by business stemming from the construction of a new Dow Hemlock facility in Clarksville, TN as well as prospective contracts resulting from continued growth at Ft. Campbell, and infrastructure development from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In addition, our common unit position in the company’s capital structure provides us certain payment preferences over subordinated unit holders and therefore some protection of our distribution. VantaCore remains in compliance with its bank covenants.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008
 Investment Income: Investment income totaled ($765,793) and $318,053 for the three and six months ended May 31, 2009, respectively. This represents a decrease of $1,511,923 and $1,533,757, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended May 31, 2008, primarily related to a decrease in distributions received from investments this fiscal year. The weighted average yield to cost on our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) as of May 31, 2009 was 6.2 percent as compared to 8.9 percent at May 31, 2008. The decrease in the weighted average yield to cost is generally related to Abraxas and Quest’s non-payment of a distribution during the current quarter.
Net Expenses: Net expenses totaled $774,677 and $1,490,683 for the three and six months ended May 31, 2009. This represents a decrease of $1,776,368 and $2,022,488, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended May 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily related to elimination of the capital gain incentive fee accrual, a decrease in leverage costs and a decrease in base management fees payable to the Adviser as a result of the lower 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.

Net Investment Loss : Net investment loss totaled $1,532,187 and $1,265,530 for the three and six months ended May 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to a net investment loss of $1,119,046 and $1,030,043, respectively, for the three and six months ended May 31, 2008. The variance in net investment loss is primarily related to net expenses as described above.
29

Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss): We had net unrealized appreciation of $13,098,265 and $3,722,024 (after deferred taxes) for the three and six months ended May 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to $7,095,908 and $4,958,330 (after deferred taxes) for the three and six months ended May 31, 2008, respectively. We had realized losses for the three and six months ended May 31, 2009 of $8,093,361 and $8,455,692, respectively. We had no realized gains or losses for the three and six months ended May 31, 2008.
Recent Developments
 On June 1, 2009, we paid a distribution in the amount of $0.13 per common share, for a total of $1,170,247. Of this total, the dividend reinvestment amounted to $121,968.
On June 30, 2009, Abraxas Petroleum Corporation (NASDAQ: AXAS) (“Abraxas Petroleum”) and Abraxas Energy Partners, L.P. (“Abraxas Energy”) announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Abraxas Energy will merge into Abraxas Petroleum. The agreement provides for Abraxas Petroleum to acquire the outstanding common units of Abraxas Energy not currently held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abraxas Petroleum for $6.00 per common unit payable in shares of Abraxas Petroleum common stock. The number of shares of Abraxas Petroleum common stock will range from 4.25 to 6.00 per common unit of Abraxas Energy and will amount to 26-36 million shares of Abraxas Petroleum common stock. The share range equates to $1.00 to $1.41 per share of Abraxas Petroleum and will be determined based on the 20-day trading average prior to a special meeting of Abraxas Petroleum stockholders. Holders of 96% of the common units of Abraxas Energy not held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Abraxas Petroleum have executed a voting, registration rights and lock-up agreement with Abraxas Petroleum and Abraxas Energy. The Voting Agreement provides an automatic vote, or proxy to vote, by the unaffiliated unitholders of Abraxas Energy in favor of the merger and for a 90-day lock-up period followed by a multi-year staggered lock-up period. The Voting Agreement also provides for a standstill by the private investors on their rights under the existing exchange and registration rights agreement and a standstill by Abraxas Energy on its initial public offering. The merger transaction is subject to approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Abraxas Petroleum common stock and 80% of the outstanding Abraxas Energy common units, and other usual and customary closing conditions.
On July 6, 2009 Quest Resource Corporation (NASDAQ: QRCP) (“QRCP”) announced that QRCP, Quest Energy Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: QELP) (“QELP”) and Quest Midstream Partners, L.P. (“QMLP”) had entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which the three companies would recombine. The recombination would be effected by forming a new, yet to be named, publicly-traded corporation that, through a series of mergers and entity conversions, would wholly-own all three entities. The completion of a recombination is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including the arrangement of one or more satisfactory credit facilities for the new entity, the approval of the transaction by the stockholders of QRCP and the unit holders of QELP and QMLP, and consents from each entity’s existing lenders. There can be no assurance that the definitive documentation will be agreed to or that a recombination will occur.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 We may 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.
Total leverage outstanding on our credit facility at May 31, 2009 was $18,800,000, representing approximately 19 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.
Contractual Obligations
 The following table summarizes our significant contractual payment obligations as of May 31, 2009.

Borrowings
 For the six months ended May 31, 2009, the average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the credit facility was utilized were $21,523,626 and 3.62 percent, respectively. As of May 31, 2009, the principal balance outstanding was $18,800,000 at a rate of 5.50 percent.
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 had 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 had a maturity date of March 20, 2009. See discussion below regarding extensions of the credit facility.
On March 20, 2009, we entered into a 90-day extension of our 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, we had $22,100,000 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.
On June 19, 2009, we entered into a 60-day extension of our amended credit facility effective June 20, 2009 through August 20, 2009. The terms of the extension provide for a secured revolving credit facility of up to $11,700,000. The amended credit facility retains the provision from the previous extension requiring us 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 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 loan balances generally will accrue interest at a variable rate equal to the greater of (i) one-month LIBOR plus 3.00 percent, and (ii) 5.50 percent, with a fee of 0.50 percent on any unused balance of the facility.
Critical Accounting Policies
 The financial statements included in this report are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. While our critical accounting policies are discussed below, Note 2 in the Notes to 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 May 31, 2009, the fair value of our investment portfolio (excluding short-term investments) totaled $91,170,398. 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 $5,652,565.
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 May 31, 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 (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 May 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceeding, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

We did not sell any securities during the three months ended May 31, 2009 that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
We did not repurchase any of our common shares during the three months ended May 31, 2009.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

Based upon votes required for approval, proposals 1, 3 and 4 above passed. Proposal 2 required the affirmative vote of at least a “majority”, as defined in the 1940 Act, of (a) the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and (b) the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock held by persons that are not affiliated persons of the Company. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of holders of a “majority” means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock present at the annual meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the shares of the Company’s common stock are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. “Affiliated persons” of the Company generally include its officers and directors and owners of 5% or more of its common stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of a vote against the proposal. The affirmative vote of common stockholders holding a majority of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock was not obtained; therefore, Proposal 2 did not pass.
