Prospect Energy Corporation Announces Financial Results for Fiscal First Quarter Ended September 30, 2005 and Provides Guidance for Second Fiscal Quarter

NEW YORK, NY -- 11/09/2005 -- Prospect Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEC) ("Prospect Energy," "the Company" or "we") today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005. We commenced operations on July 30, 2004 after closing our initial public offering of 7,000,000 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share (with a subsequent greenshoe sale of 55,000 shares). After deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $97 million for an opening balance of $13.74 net asset value per share. At September 30, 2005, our net asset value per share was $14.60. The purpose of the initial public offering was to provide capital to invest primarily in mezzanine loans, senior secured loans and equity investments in U.S. middle-market energy-related companies.

We currently estimate that our net investment income for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2005 will be in a range of $0.24 to $0.30 per share, and that our Board of Directors will declare a dividend in line with actual results in the next few weeks.

We estimate that the current second fiscal quarter results will include $0.03 to $0.06 per share of non-recurring expense (see Supplemental Financial Information below). Without such expense, we estimate that Net Investment Income would be in the range of $0.30 to $0.33 per share in the present quarter. We are approximately 78% invested on a value basis, representing approximately 86% of our initial available capital, in long-term investments, and will continue to target additional long-term investments.

OPERATING RESULTS

Within the Highlights section of this release, additional disclosures have been included to better assist in the analysis of both recurring and non-recurring charges. Non-recurring charges include legal fees associated with previously reported events including certain legal proceedings. Based on these additional disclosures, we project future annual recurring operating expenses to be approximately $3.4 million.

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

We completed our first fiscal quarter, which was our fourth full quarter since completion of our initial public offering, on September 30, 2005, with our portfolio invested approximately $81.902 million in eight long-term investments, and the remainder in cash and short-term instruments.

As of September 30, 2005, our portfolio generated a current yield of 19.1% across all our long-term debt and equity investments. This current yield includes interest from all of our long-term investments as well as dividends from Gas Solutions Holdings, Inc. ("Gas Solutions") and Unity Virginia Holdings. Monetization of, or dividends from, other equity positions that we hold is not included in this yield estimate.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we completed two new investments totaling approximately $20.1 million in Worcester Energy Corporation ("WECO") and Arctic Acquisition Corporation ("Arctic"), as well as two follow-on fundings totaling approximately $5.9 million in Whymore Coal Company ("Whymore") and Stryker Energy II, LLC ("Stryker").

On July 19, 2005, we provided $9.3 million of senior secured debt financing to Arctic alongside $6.8 million of equity from Petro Capital IV, LP, of Dallas, Texas. The funding was used by Arctic to acquire the business and assets of Arctic Recoil, Inc., and to provide working and expansion capital to Arctic. As part of this investment, we also received a significant equity ownership position in Arctic. Arctic is a privately owned and operated oilfield services company based in Houston, Texas, that provides drillers with equipment that includes coiled tubing units, nitrogen pumps, fluid power pumps, trucks, cranes, and trailers. Arctic also specializes in high pressure coiled tubing workovers. Coiled tubing is one of the fastest growing segments of the oilfield services sector, with applications such as wellbore cleanouts, acid stimulations, fracing, drilling, and logging.

On August 10 and September 22, 2005, we provided an additional $0.9 million of senior secured debt financing to Whymore for which we also received additional equity in Whymore.

On September 15, 2005, we provided an additional $5.0 million of senior secured debt financing to Stryker.

On September 28, we provided $10.8 million of senior secured debt financing to WECO, a wood processing and biomass power generation business based in Deblois, Maine. WECO is a privately owned renewable energy company that operates a wood harvesting and chipping business as well as a newly refurbished 25.85 megawatt wood-fired power plant. Built in 1988, the plant has operated intermittently over the past decade and recently has been recommissioned for baseload operations. The wood harvesting and chipping business has access to more than 16,000 acres of wood fuel, and the plant has long-term contracts for the sale of electricity as well as renewable energy credits. Prospect Energy's funding has been utilized to refinance existing debt and to provide working capital to re-initiate plant operations. Prospect Energy received a significant equity ownership position in WECO as part of the investment, including a minimum internal rate of return on Prospect's investment.
