NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

(1)

All of our portfolio investments are collateral for obligations under our Investment Facility. Our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills are collateral for obligations under our Treasury Facility. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Percentages represent interest rates in effect at the end of the period and due dates represent the contractual maturity dates. Warrants, common stocks, units, commodity derivative instruments and earn-outs are non-income producing securities, unless otherwise stated.

(2)

Our Board of Directors determines, in good faith, the final estimates of fair value of our investments. Fair value estimates are determined using unobservable inputs (Level 3 hierarchy), unless otherwise stated.

(3)

Fair value estimate is determined using prices with observable market inputs (Level 2 hierarchy). See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(4)

Fair value is determined using prices for identical securities in active markets (Level 1 hierarchy). See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(5)

We have determined that this investment is not a "qualifying asset" under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets. The status of these assets under the 1940 Act is subject to change. We monitor the status of these assets on an ongoing basis.

(6)

Non-accrual status.

(7)

Myriant Corporation warrants expire on August 15, 2015 and provide us the right to purchase 32,680 shares of Myriant Corporation common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.

(8)

Resaca Exploitation, Inc., or Resaca, stock is listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange, denominated in British pounds and its reported fair value at March 31, 2013 has been converted to U.S. dollars.

(9)

Assets of this portfolio company have been sold. The legal entity, in which we retain an equity interest, is in the process of dissolution.

(10)

Resaca warrants expire 10 business days following termination of the credit agreement and entitle us to purchase up to 2,420,000 shares of Resaca common stock at a purchase price of $1.92 per share.

(11)

Contingent payment of up to $6.8 million is dependent upon Alden Resources, LLC’s ability to achieve certain sales volume and operating efficiency levels during the three year period ending July 2014.

(12)

Lenders were granted 10% (5% net to us) of the LP interest in Castex Energy Development Fund, or Castex EDF, via Class B LP units that will become effective at the earlier of maturity or a liquidity event in which the Castex EDF assets are sold.

(13)

In March 2012, Resaca received a default notice from the agent for its Senior Unsecured Term Loan, regarding the violation of two financial covenants. Beginning March 2, 2012, the applicable interest rate under this loan is 14% as long as the covenant violation persists.

(14)

Upon redemption, we will receive the outstanding face amount plus an option to elect to receive either: a) a cash payment resulting in a total 12% IRR (inclusive of the 8% cash distributions) or b) our pro rata share of 2% of the outstanding regular limited partner interests in Castex 2005 LP (0.67% net to us).

(15)

The fair value of our Pallas Contour Mining, LLC membership units also includes the value attributable to our ownership of 800 membership units in Pallas Augering Mining, LLC. The assets and equity interests of Pallas Augering Mining, LLC are in the process of being merged into Pallas Contour Mining, LLC.

(16)

In April 2013, we agreed to extend the maturity date of this term loan to July 10, 2013 in exchange for a $0.1 million fee and principal repayment of $0.5 million.

NGP CAPITAL RESOURCES COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Organization

These consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of NGP Capital Resources Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “NGPC” refer to NGP Capital Resources Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are a financial services company organized in July 2004 as a Maryland corporation to invest primarily in small and mid-size private energy companies. In early 2012, we expanded our investment strategy to also include middle market companies not engaged in the energy industry. Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments with certain equity components. We are a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 1940 Act. In addition, for federal income tax purposes we operate so as to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. We have several direct and indirect subsidiaries that are single member limited liability companies and wholly-owned limited partnerships established to hold certain portfolio investments or provide services to us in accordance with specific rules prescribed for a company operating as a RIC. We consolidate the financial results of our wholly-owned subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes, and we do not consolidate the financial results of our portfolio companies. Our external manager, NGP Investment Advisor, LP, or our Manager, conducts our operations pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (see Note 4). NGP Energy Capital Management, L.L.C., or NGP, and NGP Administration, LLC, or our Administrator, together own 100% of our Manager.

Note 2: Basis of Presentation

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NGPC and its subsidiaries. We eliminate all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

We prepare the interim consolidated financial statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. We omit certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe we include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, so that these financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. You should read these unaudited consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Preparing interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the estimated fair values of our investment portfolio discussed in Note 7. Although we believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Dividends

We record dividends to stockholders on the ex-dividend date. We currently intend that our distributions each year will be sufficient to maintain our status as a RIC for federal income tax purposes and to eliminate federal excise tax liability. We currently intend to make distributions to stockholders on a quarterly basis that total substantially all net taxable income for the year. We also intend to make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. However, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment and designate such retained amounts as deemed distributions. Each quarter, our Manager estimates our annual taxable earnings. The Board of Directors considers this estimate and determines the distribution amount, if any. We generally declare our dividends each quarter and pay them shortly thereafter. The following table summarizes our recent distribution history:

	Per Share
Declaration Date	Amount		Record Date	Payment Date
March 19, 2012		$0.12	April 2, 2012	April 9, 2012
June 12, 2012		0.13	June 29, 2012	July 9, 2012
September 11, 2012		0.16	September 28, 2012	October 8, 2012
December 11, 2012		0.16	December 28, 2012	January 7, 2013
March 18, 2013		0.16	March 29, 2013	April 8, 2013

Note 3: Credit Facilities and Borrowings

On December 6, 2011, we entered into a $72.0 million Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, or the Investment Facility. The total amount outstanding under the Investment Facility was $72.0 million and $59.5 million, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Substantially all of our assets except our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills are collateral for the obligations under the Investment Facility. The Investment Facility matures on August 31, 2014, and bears interest, at our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 325 to 475 basis points, or (ii) the base rate plus 225 to 375 basis points, both based on our amounts outstanding. As of March 31, 2013, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding balance of $72.0 million was 4.6%. We repaid $23.5 million of this balance in April 2013. As of March 31, 2013, there was no additional amount available for borrowing under the Investment Facility.

On March 31, 2011, we entered into a $30.0 million Treasury Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, or the Treasury Facility, which can only be used to purchase U.S. Treasury Bills. Proceeds from the Treasury Facility facilitate the growth of our investment portfolio and provide flexibility in the sizing of our portfolio investments. On September 25, 2012, we entered into a second amendment to the Treasury Facility which increased the aggregate commitment amount from $30.0 million to $45.0 million. As amended, the Treasury Facility matures on September 25, 2013 and bears interest, at our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 100 basis points or (ii) the base rate. We have the right at any time to prepay the loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. As of March 31, 2013, we had $45.0 million outstanding and no additional amount available for borrowing under the Treasury Facility, and the interest rate on our outstanding balance was 1.24% (LIBOR plus 100 basis points).

The Investment Facility and Treasury Facility contain affirmative and reporting covenants and certain financial ratio and restrictive covenants that apply to our subsidiaries and us. We complied with these covenants as of March 31, 2013 and had no existing defaults or events of default under either facility. The most restrictive covenants are:

maintaining a ratio of net asset value to consolidated total indebtedness (excluding net hedging liabilities) of not less than 2.25:1.0,

maintaining a ratio of net asset value to consolidated total indebtedness (including net hedging liabilities) of not less than 2.0:1.0,

maintaining a ratio of EBITDA (excluding revenue from cash collateral) to interest expense (excluding interest on loans under the Treasury Facility) of not less than 3.0:1.0, and

maintaining a ratio of collateral to the aggregate principal amount of loans under the Treasury Facility of not less than 1.02:1.0.

Note 4: Investment Management

Investment Advisory Agreement

We have an Investment Advisory Agreement with our Manager under which our Manager administers our day-to-day operations and provides investment advisory services to us. Our Manager is subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors. For providing these services, we pay our Manager a fee, consisting of two components — a base management fee and an incentive fee.

Base Management Fee: According to the Investment Advisory Agreement, we calculate the base management fee as 0.45% of the average of our total assets as of the end of the two previous quarters. We record and pay this base management fee quarterly in arrears.

Incentive Fee: The incentive fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement consists of two parts. We calculate the first part of the incentive fee, the Investment Income Incentive Fee, as 20% of the excess, if any, of our net investment income for the quarter that exceeds a quarterly hurdle rate equal to 2% (8% annualized) of our net assets. We calculate and pay this Investment Income Incentive Fee quarterly in arrears. For the purpose of this fee calculation, net investment income means interest income, dividend income, royalty income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, syndication, structuring, diligence, managerial assistance, monitoring, and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the fiscal quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and interest expense, but excluding the incentive fee). Accordingly, we may pay an incentive fee based partly on accrued interest, the collection of which is uncertain or deferred. Net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, or OID, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not incur any Investment Income Incentive Fees.

We calculate the second part of the incentive fee, the Capital Gains Fee, as (1) 20% of (a) our net realized capital gains (realized capital gains less realized capital losses) on a cumulative basis from the closing date of our initial public offering to the end of such fiscal year, less (b) any unrealized capital depreciation at the end of such fiscal year, less (2) the aggregate amount of all Capital Gains Fees paid to our Manager in prior fiscal years. We determine and pay the Capital Gains Fee in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date). For accounting purposes only, in order to reflect the theoretical Capital Gains Fee that would be payable for a given period as if all unrealized capital gains were realized, we accrue a Capital Gains Fee as described above (in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement), plus 20% of unrealized capital gains on investments held at the end of such period. It should be noted that the portion of the accruals for the Capital Gains Fees attributable to unrealized capital gains will not necessarily be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and may never be paid based on the computation of Capital Gains Fees in subsequent periods. As of March 31, 2013, we had cumulative net capital losses of $73.9 million and cumulative net unrealized capital depreciation of $10.7 million. We did not incur or pay any Capital Gains Fees for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Our Board of Directors originally approved the Investment Advisory Agreement on November 9, 2004. Our Board of Directors or the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities must approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement at least annually. Additionally, in either case, the approval must be by a majority of our independent directors. On October 30, 2012, our Board of Directors, including all of the independent directors, approved an extension of the Investment Advisory Agreement through November 9, 2013.

The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by a vote of our Board of Directors or the holders of a majority of our shares on 60 days’ written notice to our Manager, and would automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). Either party may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement without penalty upon not more than 60 days’ written notice to the other.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, our Manager pays the compensation and routine overhead expenses of the investment professionals of our management team and their respective staffs, when and to the extent engaged in providing management and investment advisory services to us. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions. Our Manager is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

Administration Agreement

We have an Administration Agreement with our Administrator, under which our Administrator furnishes us with office facilities, equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, our Administrator also performs, or oversees the performance by third parties of, our required administrative services which include responsibility for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparation of reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, our Administrator assists in determining and publishing our net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns, the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. To the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, our Administrator may also provide, on our behalf, significant managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. We base payments under the Administration Agreement upon the allocable portion of our Administrator’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with administering our business. The Administration Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by a vote of our Board of Directors or by our Administrator upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party, and will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act).

We owed $236,000 and $299,000 to our Administrator as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, for expenses incurred on our behalf for the final month of the respective quarterly period. We include these amounts in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Our Board of Directors originally approved the Administration Agreement on November 9, 2004. Our Board of Directors and a majority of our independent directors must approve the continuation of the Administration Agreement at least annually. On October 30, 2012, our Board of Directors, including all of the independent directors, approved an extension of the Administration Agreement through November 9, 2013.

Note 5: Federal Income Taxes

We currently qualify for tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code, as amended. As a RIC, the IRS generally will not tax the portion of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain (i.e., realized net long term capital gains in excess of realized net short term capital losses) distributed to stockholders. To qualify as a RIC, we are required, among other things, to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, and to meet certain asset diversification requirements.

Certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, or Taxable Subsidiaries, have elected to be taxed as corporations for federal income tax purposes. The Taxable Subsidiaries hold certain of our portfolio investments and are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, but not for income tax reporting purposes. These Taxable Subsidiaries permit us to hold equity investments in portfolio companies that are “pass through” entities for tax purposes, in order to comply with the “source income” requirements contained in the RIC tax regulations. The Taxable Subsidiaries may generate net income tax expense or benefit, which is reflected on our consolidated statements of operations.

Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies

As of March 31, 2013, we had investments in or commitments to fund investments in 15 portfolio companies totaling $254.5 million. Of this total, $250.1 million was outstanding and $4.4 million remained committed and available to fund. Generally, these commitments have fixed expiration dates, and we may not fund the entire $4.4 million of commitments before they expire. We do not report the unused portions of these commitments on our consolidated balance sheets.

We have continuing obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement with our Manager and under the Administration Agreement with our Administrator. The agreements provide that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, our Manager, our Administrator and their officers, managers, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with them will be entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of our Manager’s or Administrator’s services under the agreements or otherwise as our investment adviser or administrator. The agreements also provide that our Manager, our Administrator and their affiliates will not be liable to us or any stockholder for any error of judgment, mistake of law, any loss or damage with respect to any of our investments or any action taken or omitted to be taken by our Manager or our Administrator in connection with the performance of any of their duties or obligations under the agreements or otherwise as investment adviser or administrator to us, except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services. In the normal course of business, we enter into a variety of undertakings containing a variety of representations that may expose us to some risk of loss. We do not expect significant losses, if any, from such undertakings.

ATP Litigation.On August 17, 2012, ATP Oil & Gas Corporation, or ATP, filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and received authorization to incur debtor-in-possession financing of approximately $600 million. We own limited term overriding royalty interests, or ORRIs, in certain offshore oil and gas producing properties operated by ATP. On August 23, 2012, the bankruptcy judge presiding over ATP’s case signed an order (Docket No. 191) allowing ATP to pay amounts received after August 17, 2012 to those parties entitled to receive them, including the ORRI holders, provided that the owners of the ORRIs execute the Disgorgement Agreement providing for the repayment to ATP of any amounts that the bankruptcy court later finds to have been inappropriately paid. We executed the Disgorgement Agreement and began receiving monthly distributions in September 2012 from ATP of our share of production proceeds received by ATP after August 17, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, our unrecovered investment was $32.1 million, and we had received aggregate production payments of $15.1 million subject to the Disgorgement Agreement. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, we had incurred legal and consulting fees totaling $1.7 million in connection with the enforcement of our rights under the ORRIs, which will ultimately be added to the unrecovered investment balance under the terms of the ORRI agreements. These legal and consulting fees, totaling $1.7 million and $0.6 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are included in accounts receivable and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

On October 17, 2012, we filed a lawsuit against ATP in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, seeking a declaration that the ORRIs are valid, fully enforceable, and not voidable. ATP filed an answer and counterclaim in which it (a) denies that the ORRIs are valid and enforceable, (b) seeks a declaration that (i) the ORRIs are a financing agreement and not a true sale and (ii) the ORRIs are executory contracts that are subject to rejection under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 365, and (c) seeks disgorgement from us of amounts paid to us since August 17, 2012, the date of filing of ATP’s Chapter 11 proceeding. This lawsuit is currently pending and trial is scheduled for July 25, 2013. We intend to vigorously defend our position that the ORRIs constitute real property interests and are fully valid and enforceable pursuant to their terms.

Separately, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of ATP (the “Committee”) filed a motion (the “Motion”) requesting authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to be allowed to bring a fraudulent transfer action against us, in which the Committee seeks to allege that (a) ATP was insolvent at the time of the assignment of the ORRIs to us, (b) that ATP received less than fair value from us in exchange for the assignments of the ORRIs and (c) as a result, the assignments should be set aside. The Company vigorously denies these allegations and opposes the Motion. The Motion has been abated until further notice.

GMX Resources, Inc.On April 1, 2013, GMX Resources, or GMX, and certain of its affiliates filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In connection with its bankruptcy filing, GMX announced that it is pursuing an asset purchase agreement with certain senior first-lien creditors to acquire substantially all of GMX’s operating assets and undeveloped acreage. Once the contemplated asset purchase agreement with such senior creditors is finalized, the sale would then be subject to a public auction, pursuant to procedures to be approved by the Bankruptcy Court. We hold $12.7 million face amount of GMX’s Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes due 2018 (the “GMX 2018 Notes”), which are subordinate to the debt held by the senior creditors mentioned above. As a result of these proceedings, we reduced the estimated fair value of our investment in the GMX 2018 Notes from $7.4 million as of December 31, 2012 to zero as of March 31, 2013.

We account for all of the assets in our portfolio at fair value, following the provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationFair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

On a quarterly basis, the investment team of our Manager prepares fair value estimates for all of the assets in our portfolio utilizing the income approach and market approach in accordance with ASC 820 and presents them to our Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee recommends its fair value estimates to our Board of Directors, which in good faith determines the final estimates of fair value for each investment. We record investments in securities for which market quotations are readily available at such market quotations in our financial statements as of the valuation date. For investments in securities for which market quotations are unavailable, or which have various degrees of trading restrictions, the investment team of our Manager prepares valuation analyses as generally described below.

•

Investment Team Valuation. The investment professionals of our Manager prepare fair value estimates for each investment.

•

Investment Team Valuation Documentation. The investment team documents and discusses its preliminary fair value estimates with senior management of our Manager.

•

Presentation to Valuation Committee. Senior management presents the valuation analyses and fair value estimates to the Valuation Committee of our Board of Directors.

•

Third Party Valuation Activity. The Valuation Committee and our Board of Directors, in their discretion, may retain an independent valuation firm to review any or all of the valuation analyses and fair value estimates provided by the investment team of our Manager. The Valuation Committee has not retained an independent valuation firm in connection with any fair value estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2012.

•

Board of Directors and Valuation Committee. The Board of Directors and Valuation Committee review and discuss the valuation analyses and fair value estimates provided by the investment team of our Manager and the analysis of the independent valuation firm, if applicable.

•

Final Valuation Determination. Our Board of Directors discusses the fair value estimates recommended by the Valuation Committee and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio, in good faith, based on the input of the investment team of our Manager, our Valuation Committee and the independent valuation firm, if any.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that a seller would receive for an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. The fair value definition focuses on exit price in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes the use of observable market inputs over unobservable entity-specific inputs. In accordance with ASC 820, we categorize our investments based on the inputs to our valuation methodologies as follows:

•

Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which we have access at the date of measurement.

•

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.

•

Level 3 — Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect our own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

Debt Securities and Limited-Term Royalties: In estimating the fair value of our debt investments, we first assess the overall financial health of the portfolio company through an evaluation of a number of factors, including, as relevant, historical and projected financial results, the portfolio company's enterprise value, and the nature and realizable value of any collateral. In estimating the portfolio company’s enterprise value, we analyze the discounted value of estimated future net cash flows of the portfolio company, derived, when appropriate, from third party valuations of a portfolio company’s assets, such as engineering reserve reports of oil and natural gas properties. We also use a market approach in estimating the portfolio company’s estimated enterprise value, considering recent comparable transactions involving similar businesses or assets. We also may consider the markets in which the portfolio company operates; comparison to a peer group of publicly traded securities; the size and scope of the portfolio company and its specific strengths and weaknesses; recent purchases or sales of securities by the portfolio company; recent offers to purchase the portfolio company; the estimated value of comparable securities; and other relevant factors. Based upon these analyses, we assess the sources of cash flow available to the portfolio company to service its debt and the underlying credit risk, and determine an appropriate yield, or discount rate, to apply to our anticipated cash flows to be collected from each debt investment, recognizing that the collection of contractual cash flows may come from one or a combination of cash flows generated from continuing operations of the portfolio company, liquidation of collateral or sale of the portfolio company. The appropriateness of the yield on our investments is directly relative to our judgment of the associated risks, using observable yield or price data for similar or comparable debt investments when available. Fair value measurements using the discounted cash flow method can be sensitive to significant changes in the inputs. A significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate for a particular security may result in a lower (higher) value for that security.

We invest primarily in illiquid debt investments in small private energy companies, many of which are in the early stages of development, or are start-up companies in need of growth development capital. There is limited activity, transparency and variable data in the markets in which we invest. We have observed that there is limited correlation in yield and price data in our principle market when compared to overall market trends based upon debt investments we have made throughout our history. In circumstances where there is limited observable price or yield data of similar or comparable securities, we base our considerations on our assessments of the credit trends and underlying performance of our portfolio companies and of the markets in which we invest, relying on the collective judgment of the investment team of our Manager, our Valuation Committee members and our Board of Directors, which is based on their extensive experience and expertise investing in public and non-public securities in energy markets.

Equity Securities: We record our investments in preferred and common equity securities (including warrants or options to acquire equity securities) at fair value based on our pro rata share of the residual equity value available after deducting all outstanding debt and other obligations, as applicable, from the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company. To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we analyze the discounted cash flows of the portfolio company and indicative pricing (on a proved reserve and/or units-of-production basis, as appropriate) in recent comparable market transactions as mentioned above, adjusted for lack of marketability due to the illiquid nature or other restrictions on the sale of the security. In most cases, we may compute an average of the calculated values of our share of the residual equity value (using multiple approaches or various assumptions) in determining the fair value of the equity security to be reported in our financial statements. Estimating a company’s enterprise value involves judgment, and residual equity values can be relatively volatile based on changes in market conditions, the company’s financial performance and outlook, and other factors. Fair value measurements using market comparables can be sensitive to significant changes in the inputs. A significant increase (decrease) in the reserve multiple, or a significant decrease (increase) in the discount for lack of marketability, for a particular equity security may result in a higher (lower) fair value for that security.

In some cases, where we deem recent or pending financing or recapitalization transactions involving the portfolio company to be more indicative of enterprise value, we use such recent transactions to value the enterprise, in lieu of the discounted cash flow or market comparables. In addition, in cases where we deem appropriate, we utilize an option pricing method, or OPM, to value the various preferred stock, common stock and warrants we have in companies with complex capital structures. The OPM treats preferred stock, common stock and warrants as call options on the enterprise value, with exercise prices based on liquidation preference of the security. The OPM commonly uses the Black-Scholes model to price the call option and considers the various terms of the stockholder agreements upon liquidation of the enterprise. In addition, the OPM implicitly considers the effect of the liquidation preference as of a future liquidation date, not as of the valuation date.

Royalty Interests: We record our investments in overriding royalty interests at fair value based on a multiple of cash flows generated by such investments, multiples from transactions involving the sale of comparable assets and/or the discounted value of expected future net cash flows from such investments, adjusted for lack of marketability due to the illiquid nature or other restrictions on the sale of our investment. We derive appropriate cash flow multiples from the review of comparable transactions involving similar assets. We derive the discounted value of future net cash flows, when appropriate, from third party valuations of a portfolio company’s assets, such as engineering reserve reports of oil and natural gas properties. A significant increase (decrease) in the cash flow multiple, or a significant decrease (increase) in the discount for lack of marketability, for a particular investment may result in a higher (lower) fair value for that investment.

Contingent Earn-Out: Our contingent earn-out investment resulted from the sale of our investment in Alden Resources, LLC to Globe BG, LLC (“Globe”) in July 2011. The amount of the payment, up to $6.8 million, is based on a formula involving the number of clean tons of coal produced multiplied by the difference between the company’s cost of production in 2010 and the cost of production during the optimal consecutive twelve-month period during the three-year period ending July 2014. We based our valuation of the earn-out on a weighted average of the discounted value of the earn-out payment computed under twenty scenarios with various production and production cost assumptions. A significant increase (decrease) in production, a significant decrease (increase) in cost of production, or a significant decrease (increase) in the discount rate may result in a higher (lower) value of the earn-out.

Commodity Derivative Instruments: We record all derivative instruments at fair value. Quoted market prices are the best evidence of estimated fair value. We estimate the fair value of the crude oil and natural gas options using a market-based valuation methodology based upon forward commodity price and volatility curves. Independent pricing services provide the curves, which reflect broker market quotes. We consider these investments as Level 2 on the valuation hierarchy, as the values represent quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets.

We hold certain investments in debt or equity securities that are publicly traded, but for which there are relatively few transactions or for which trading activity is relatively infrequent. We value these investments at broker quotes as of the balance sheet date or at prices for which such securities were most recently traded. We consider these investments as Level 2 on the valuation hierarchy, as the values represent quoted prices for identical instruments in thinly-traded markets.

Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the fair value estimates for our investments may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Additionally, changes in the market environment, portfolio company performance and other events that may occur over the lives of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on our investments to be materially different than the valuations currently assigned.

We may have investments in our portfolio that contain payment-in-kind, or PIK, provisions. We compute PIK interest income or PIK dividend income at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement and add that amount to the principal balance of the investment. For those investments with PIK interest or PIK dividends, we calculate our income accruals on the principal balance plus any PIK amounts. If the portfolio company’s projected cash flows, further supported by estimated total enterprise value, are not sufficient to cover the contractual principal and interest or dividend amounts, as applicable, we do not accrue interest income or dividend income on the investment. To maintain our RIC status, we must pay out this non-cash income to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though we have not yet collected the cash.

Fair value accounting classifies financial assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the estimated fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the estimated fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. We did not have any liabilities measured at fair value at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. The following tables set forth our financial assets by level within the fair value hierarchy that we accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Note 8: Commodity Derivative Instruments

We use commodity derivative instruments from time to time to manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. We use all of our derivatives for risk management purposes and do not hold any amounts for speculative or trading purposes. These contracts generally consist of options contracts on underlying commodities. We do not designate these instruments as hedging instruments for financial accounting purposes and, as a result, we recognize the change in the instruments’ fair value currently on the consolidated statement of operations as net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. As shown on our consolidated schedule of investments at March 31, 2013, we had oil put options expiring from April 2013 through September 2013 with an aggregate cost and fair value of $151,000 and $0, respectively.

Overview

We are a financial services company created to invest primarily in debt securities of small and mid-size private energy companies. In early 2012, we expanded our investment strategy to also include middle market companies not engaged in the energy industry. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 1940 Act, and, as such, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” which include securities of private U.S. companies, U.S. companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. In addition, for federal income tax purposes we operate so as to be treated as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Pursuant to these elections, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income and capital gains we distribute to our stockholders. We have several direct and indirect subsidiaries that are single member limited liability companies and wholly-owned limited partnerships established to hold certain portfolio investments or provide services to us in accordance with specific rules prescribed for a company operating as a RIC. We consolidate the financial results of our subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes, and do not consolidate the financial results of our portfolio companies.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments with certain equity components. A key focus area for our investments in the energy industry is domestic upstream businesses that produce, develop, acquire and explore for oil and natural gas. We also evaluate investment opportunities in such businesses as coal, power and energy services. We also target middle market investments within diversified industry sectors, including manufacturing, value-added distribution, business services, healthcare products and services, consumer services and select other sectors. Our investments generally range in size from $10 million to $50 million; however, we may invest more or less depending on market conditions and our Manager’s view of a particular investment opportunity. Our portfolio investments primarily consist of debt instruments, including senior and subordinated loans combined in one facility, sometimes with an equity component, and subordinated loans, sometimes with equity components. We may also invest in preferred stock and other equity securities or royalty interests on a stand-alone basis.

We generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt securities and limited-term royalty interests that we own, dividend income on common or preferred stock that we own, royalty income on royalty interests that we own and capital gains or losses on debt or equity securities that we acquire in portfolio companies and subsequently sell. Our investments, if in the form of debt securities, typically have a term of three to seven years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. To the extent achievable, we seek to collateralize our investments by obtaining security interests in our portfolio companies' assets. We also may acquire minority or majority equity interests in our portfolio companies, which may pay cash or paid-in-kind, or PIK, dividends on a recurring or otherwise negotiated basis. In addition, we may generate revenue in other forms including commitment, origination, structuring, administration or due diligence fees; fees for providing managerial assistance; and possibly consultation fees. We recognize any such fees generated in connection with our investments as earned.

Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors. Some of these factors are the amount of debt and equity capital available to energy companies, the level of acquisition and divestiture activity for such companies, the level and volatility of energy commodity prices, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make, and our own ability to raise capital to fund our investments, both through issuance of debt and equity securities. While we currently have capital available to invest, we do not have unlimited capital. We remain committed to our underwriting and investment disciplines in selectively investing in appropriate risk-reward opportunities within the energy and middle market sectors.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

On April 22, 2013, we provided $17.5 million of financing to Nekoosa Coated Products, or NEK, a private manufacturer of carbonless sheets and specialty products used in the commercial printing industry, in the form of a Second Lien Term Loan, to facilitate the acquisition of IGI Corp., a leading manufacturer of specialty pressure sensitive graphic arts materials used in the signage and visual communications industry. The Second Lien Term Loan earns interest payable in cash at an annual rate of 13% plus paid-in-kind interest of 2% per annum and matures on October 19, 2018.

In 2011 and 2012, we purchased from ATP Oil & Gas Corporation, or ATP, limited-term ORRIs in certain offshore oil and gas producing properties operated by ATP in the Gulf of Mexico, including $25.0 million advanced on July 3, 2012. Under this arrangement, we own the right to portions (ranging from 5.0% to 10.8%) of the monthly production proceeds from the various oil and gas properties subject to the ORRI in ATP’s Gomez and Telemark properties. The terms of the ORRI provide that it will terminate after we receive payments that equal our investment in the ORRI plus a time-value factor that is calculated at a rate of 13.2 % per annum. On August 17, 2012, ATP filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and received authorization to incur debtor-in-possession financing of approximately $600 million. ATP failed or refused to deliver our proportionate share of production proceeds for the production months of May and June 2012, which proceeds were due to be distributed on July 31, 2012 and August 31, 2012, respectively. On August 23, 2012, the bankruptcy judgepresiding over ATP’s case signed an order allowing ATP to pay amounts received after August 17, 2012 to those parties entitled to receive them, including the ORRI holders, provided that the owners of the ORRIs execute the Disgorgement Agreement providing for the repayment to ATP of any amounts that the bankruptcy court later finds to have been inappropriately paid. We executed the Disgorgement Agreement and began receiving monthly distributions in September 2012 from ATP of our share of production proceeds received by ATP after August 17, 2012. On October 17, 2012, we filed a lawsuit against ATP in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, seeking a declaration that the ORRIs are valid, fully enforceable, and not voidable. ATP has responded by seeking a determination that the ORRIs are not enforceable as a conveyance, but rather are in the nature of a debt instrument. In that connection, ATP seeks disgorgement of amounts paid to us in accordance with the Disgorgement Agreement. This lawsuit is currently pending and trial is scheduled for July 25, 2013. We intend to vigorously defend our position that the ORRIs constitute real property interests and are fully valid and enforceable pursuant to their terms. Our unrecovered investment as of March 31, 2013 was $32.1 million, and we had received aggregate production payments of $15.1 million subject to the Disgorgement Agreement. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, we had incurred legal and consulting fees totaling $1.7 million in connection with the enforcement of our rights under the ORRIs, which will ultimately be added to the unrecovered investment balance under the terms of the ORRI agreements. These legal and consulting fees, totaling $1.7 million and $0.6 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are included in accounts receivable and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

On April 23, 2013, the Department of the Interior, on behalf of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, issued an order directing that the wells on the Gomez properties be shut in and that operations cease. Operations and production ceased on the Gomez properties on April 30, 2013. As a result of the shut-in of the Gomez wells, our cash flows attributable to the ORRIs will be negatively affected, but we should continue to receive our share of monthly production payments attributable to the Telemark properties, subject to the Disgorgement Agreement referred to above. Of the $6.2 million of ORRI distribution we received in the first quarter of 2013, $2.8 million was attributable to Gomez production and $3.4 million was attributable to Telemark production.

On April 1, 2013, GMX Resources, or GMX, and certain of its affiliates filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In connection with its bankruptcy filing, GMX announced that it is pursuing an asset purchase agreement with certain senior first-lien creditors to acquire substantially all of GMX’s operating assets and undeveloped acreage. Once the contemplated asset purchase agreement with such senior creditors is finalized, the sale would then be subject to a public auction, pursuant to procedures to be approved by the Bankruptcy Court. We hold $12.7 million face amount of GMX’s Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes due 2018, or the GMX 2018 Notes, which are subordinate to the debt held by the senior creditors mentioned above. As a result of these proceedings, we reduced the estimated fair value of our investment in the GMX 2018 Notes to zero as of March 31, 2013, resulting in an unrealized loss of $7.4 million, or $0.35 per share.

On February 15, 2013, we closed a $17.5 million investment in OCI Holdings, LLC, or OCI. Our investment in OCI includes a $15.0 million Subordinated Note and a $2.5 million direct equity co-investment. OCI is a home health provider of physical, occupational and speech therapy services to pediatric patients in the state of Texas. Proceeds from the investment were used to refinance OCI and to finance OCI’s strategic acquisition of a provider of similar services. The OCI Subordinated Note matures August 15, 2018 and earns interest payable in cash at a rate of 11% per annum (LIBOR + 10%) plus paid-in-kind interest of 2% per annum.

On February 15, 2013, we provided $9.0 million of financing to KOVA International, Inc., or KOVA, in the form of Senior Subordinated Notes, to facilitate the acquisition of the urinalysis division of Hycor Biomedical, Inc. by a group of private equity sponsors. Since 1974, the KOVA product lines have been among the leading disposable plastics and liquid controls products used in the urinalysis testing market. The KOVA Senior Subordinated Notes earn interest payable in cash at an annual rate of 12.75% and mature on August 15, 2018.

On February 6, 2013, we purchased $20.0 million of the $300 million 9.75% Senior Notes offering issued by Talos Production LLC and Talos Production Finance Inc., collectively, Talos, to partially fund Talos’s acquisition of Energy Resource Technology GOM, Inc., the oil and gas subsidiary of Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. On February 15, 2013, we purchased an additional $5.0 million face value of the Talos Senior Notes in the secondary market. Talos is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and its parent company is a portfolio company of funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, LLC and Riverstone Holdings LLC, which committed up to $600 million in equity to Talos’s parent company in February 2012. The Talos Senior Notes mature February 15, 2018, and were issued at 99.025 for an effective yield of 10.0% per annum.

On January 25, 2013, we restructured our $13.5 million Senior Secured Term Loan, or the Original Term Loan, with Spirit Resources, LLC, or Spirit. Under the terms of the restructuring, (i) $8.0 million of the Original Term Loan was converted into Preferred Units, with the remaining $5.5 million structured as a Senior Secured Tranche A Term Loan; (ii) we provided $4.5 million of additional borrowing capacity in the form of a Senior Secured Tranche B Term Loan; (iii) we received a 3% overriding royalty interest in Spirit’s oil and gas properties; and (iv) we conveyed our 33% penny warrants back to Spirit. The Tranche A Term Loan matures April 28, 2015 and earns interest payable monthly in cash at an annual rate of the greater of 8% or LIBOR + 4%. The Tranche B Term Loan matures October 28, 2015 and initially earns interest payable-in-kind at an annual rate of the greater of 15% or LIBOR + 11%. Beginning in January 2015, interest on the Tranche B Term Loan is payable monthly in cash at an annual rate of the greater of 13% or LIBOR + 9%. Borrowings under the Tranche B Term Loan will be used to execute relatively low-risk, high return development plans at Spirit’s oil and gas properties and to provide additional working capital. The Preferred Units represent a preferred interest on 100% of any equity distributions from Spirit until certain hurdles are met, after which Spirit management would participate in 25% of any such distributions.

On January 25, 2013, Southern Pacific Resource Corp., or STP, repaid its debt obligations under its $272.2 million Second Lien Term Loan, including the $9.8 million face amount that we held, with a 1% call premium. Our investment in the STP Second Lien Term Loan, which was initially funded in the first quarter of 2012, generated an internal rate of return of 10.7% with a return on investment of 1.09x.

Also in January 2013, we sold our remaining $10.0 million face amount of EP Energy, LLC Senior Unsecured Notes at a price of 113.375 resulting in a realized capital gain of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per common share. Our total investment in EP Energy, LLC Senior Unsecured Notes, which began as a $25 million participation in their original issuance in April 2012, generated an internal rate of return of 36.5% with a return on investment of 1.16x.

From commencement of investment operations in November 2004 through March 31, 2013, we have invested $1.1 billion in 45 portfolio companies and received principal repayments, realizations and settlements of $813.9 million. The following table summarizes our investment activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in millions):

The table below shows our portfolio investments by type as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. We compute yields on investments using interest rates as of the balance sheet date and include amortization of original issue discount, or OID, and market premium or discount, royalty interest income, net profits income and other similar investment income, weighted by their respective costs when averaged. We compute the yield on income from derivatives using estimated derivative income, net of expired options costs. These yields do not include income from any investments on non-accrual status but do include the cost basis of such investments in the denominator. Such weighted average yields are not necessarily indicative of expected total returns on a portfolio.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total fair value of our portfolio investments was $231.2 million and $213.6 million, respectively. Of those fair value totals, approximately $190.8 million, or 83%, as of March 31, 2013, and $185.7 million, or 87%, as of December 31, 2012, are measured using significant unobservable (i.e., Level 3) inputs.

Results of Operations

Investment Income

During thethreemonths ended March 31, 2013, our total investment income was $5.8 million, increasing $0.2 million, or 3%, compared to the corresponding period of 2012. The small increase in 2013 was primarily attributable to higher overall portfolio balances offset by lower weighted average yields. Our portfolio balance, on a cost basis, increased from $158.1 million at March 31, 2012 to $245.0 million at March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of new investments in excess of net redemptions and settlements. Our weighted average yields decreased from 12.1% at March 31, 2012 to 9.9% at March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of new investments in the portfolio with improved credit quality and lower risk, and as a result of the GMX 2018 Notes being placed on non-accrual status in 2013.

Operating Expenses

The table below summarizes the components of our operating expenses (in thousands):

	For The Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2013		2012
Interest expense and bank fees	$	815	$	334
Management and incentive fees		1,367		1,084
Professional fees, insurance expenses and other G&A		1,286		1,223
Total operating expenses	$	3,468	$	2,641

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, operating expenses were $3.5 million, increasing $0.8 million, or 31%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Interest expense and fees on our credit facilities were $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as a result of increased average borrowing levels supporting our larger investment portfolio. Management and incentive fees were higher in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 at $1.4 million compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily as a result of higher average total asset balances, which are the basis for the base management fee computation. Professional fees, insurance expense and other general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased $0.1 million, or 5%, to $1.3 million, compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily as a result of higher professional fees.

Operating expenses include our allocable portion of the total organizational and operating expenses incurred by us, our Manager and our Administrator, as determined by our Board of Directors and representatives of our Manager and our Administrator. According to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, we calculate the base management fee quarterly as 0.45% of the average of our total assets as of the end of the two previous quarters. Other general and administrative expenses include our allocated share of employee, facilities, stockholder services and marketing costs incurred by our Administrator.

Net Investment Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net investment income was $2.3 million, or $0.11 per common share, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.14 per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The $0.6 million, or 22%, decrease was attributable to the $0.8 million increase in operating expenses, partially offset by the $0.2 million increase in investment income, both of which are described above.

Net Realized Gains (Losses)

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized net realized capital losses of $0.2 million resulting from a $1.6 million loss from the sale of our 228,853 shares of GMX common stock at an average price of $3.28, partially offset by a $1.3 million gain from the sale of $10.0 million face amount of EP Energy Senior Unsecured Notes at an average price of 113.375.

Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net unrealized depreciation on portfolio investments was $9.7 million, or $0.46 per share, primarily due to decreases in the estimated fair value of our investments in GMX 2018 Notes of $7.4 million and Spirit preferred units of $2.8 million and the reversal of unrealized appreciation, due to realization of the gain, on our EP Energy Senior Unsecured Notes of $1.3 million, partially offset by net increases in the fair value of our remaining investments of $1.8 million. By comparison, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, net unrealized appreciation was $1.3 million, largely due to increases the estimated fair value of our investments in GMX Senior Convertible Notes of $1.0 million, Spirit warrants of $0.6 million and Castex Energy Development Fund, LLC, or Castex, units of $0.6 million, partially offset by the decrease in the value of our investment in Resaca Exploitation Inc.’s common stock and warrants of $0.6 million and a $0.4 million decrease in the fair value of our commodity derivative instruments.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $7.6 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $4.2 million, or $0.19 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The $11.8 million, or $0.55 per share, net change between the two periods was primarily attributable to the $11.2 million increase in net realized and unrealized losses on our investments and a $0.6 million decrease in net investment income.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we generated cash from operations of $0.5 million, excluding net purchases of investments, compared to $3.5 million during the comparable period of 2012. The lower amount of cash generated from operations in 2013 was primarily attributable to lower net investment income and a higher balance of interest and other accounts receivable in 2013. Net collections of interest and income tax refunds receivable generated cash of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to using cash of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $26.5 million, compared to $18.4 million provided by operating activities for the same period of 2012. This increase in net cash used in 2013 was primarily due to higher net purchases of investments in portfolio securities in 2013. Purchases of portfolio securities during the first three months of 2013 totaled $53.8 million, compared to $8.4 million during the first three months of 2012. Purchases in 2013 primarily included the Talos Senior Notes of $24.8 million, OCI Holdings Subordinated Notes and direct equity co-investment totaling $17.2 million, KOVA Senior Notes of $8.8 million, and additional investments in existing portfolio companies totaling $3.0 million. Purchases in the first three months of 2012 primarily included the STP Term Loan of $7.2 million and additional investments in existing portfolio companies totaling $1.2 million. Proceeds from the redemption of investments totaled $26.9 million during the first three months of 2013, compared to $23.3 million during the first three months of 2012. Redemptions in 2013 included EP Energy Senior Unsecured Notes, $11.3 million; STP Term Loan, $9.7 million; ATP, $5.0 million and other redemptions totaling $0.9 million. Redemptions in 2012 included Crestwood Holdings, LLC Senior Secured Term Loan, $8.3 million; Anadarko Petroleum Corporation net profits interest, $3.2 million; ATP, $5.9 million; Tammany Oil & Gas, LLC, $5.2 million and other redemptions totaling $0.7 million.

At March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $30.3 million. At March 31, 2013, the amount outstanding under our $72.0 million Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, or the Investment Facility, was $72.0 million and there was no additional amount available for borrowing. We repaid $23.5 million of the $72.0 million balance outstanding under the Investment Facility in April 2013. As of March 31, 2013, the amount outstanding under our $45.0 million Treasury Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, or the Treasury Facility, was $45.0 million and there was no additional amount available for borrowing.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we paid cash dividends totaling $3.4 million, or $0.16 per share, to our common stockholders. In March 2013, we declared a first quarter dividend totaling $3.4 million, or $0.16 per share, which was paid in April 2013. We currently intend to continue to distribute, in the form of quarterly dividends, a minimum of 90% of our annual investment company taxable income to our stockholders.

On October 31, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, repurchase up to $10.0 million of our common stock in the open market at prices not to exceed net asset value during our open trading periods. Our Board of Directors authorized this plan, because it believes that general market trading activity may cause our common stock to be undervalued from time to time. The repurchase program does not obligate us to purchase any shares and may be discontinued at any time. Pursuant to this plan, during 2012, we repurchased an aggregate of 608,125 shares of our common stock in the open market at an average price of $6.89 per share, totaling $4.2 million. Under the terms of the stock repurchase plan, we are authorized to repurchase up to an additional $5.8 million of our common stock. Any future repurchases will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations that set certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of stock repurchases. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the first quarter of 2013.

Commodity Derivative Instruments

We use commodity derivative instruments from time to time to manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. We use all of our derivatives for risk management purposes and do not hold any amounts for speculative or trading purposes. We do not designate these instruments as hedging instruments for financial accounting purposes, and, as a result, we recognize the change in the instruments’ fair value currently on the consolidated statements of operations as net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. In December 2011, in connection with our purchase of a limited term royalty interest from ATP, we purchased a series of oil put options to provide insurance against downside price movements. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein for further description of our put options.

Credit Facilities and Borrowings

On December 6, 2011, we entered into the Investment Facility. The total amount outstanding under the Investment Facility was $72.0 million and $59.5 million, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Substantially all of our assets, except our investments in U.S. Treasury Bills, are collateral for the obligations under the Investment Facility. The Investment Facility matures on August 31, 2014, and bears interest, at our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 325 to 475 basis points, or (ii) the base rate plus 225 to 375 basis points, both based on our amounts outstanding. As of March 31, 2013, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding balance was 4.6% and there was no additional amount available for borrowing. We repaid $23.5 million of the $72.0 million balance in April 2013.

On March 31, 2011, we entered into the Treasury Facility, which can only be used to purchase U.S. Treasury Bills. Proceeds from the Treasury Facility facilitate the growth of our investment portfolio and provide flexibility in the sizing of our portfolio investments. On September 25, 2012, we entered into a second amendment to the Treasury Facility which increased the aggregate commitment amount from $30.0 million to $45.0 million. As amended, the Treasury Facility matures on September 25, 2013 and bears interest, at our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus 100 basis points or (ii) the base rate. We have the right at any time to prepay the loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. As of March 31, 2013, the total amount outstanding under the Treasury Facility was $45.0 million and the interest rate on our outstanding balance was 1.24% (LIBOR plus 100 basis points). There was no additional amount available for borrowing under the Treasury Facility as of March 31, 2013.

•

maintaining a ratio of net asset value to consolidated total indebtedness (excluding net hedging liabilities) of not less than 2.25:1.0,

•

maintaining a ratio of net asset value to consolidated total indebtedness (including net hedging liabilities) of not less than 2.0:1.0,

•

maintaining a ratio of EBITDA (excluding revenue from cash collateral) to interest expense (excluding interest on loans under the Treasury Facility) of not less than 3.0:1.0, and

•

maintaining a ratio of collateral to the aggregate principal amount of loans under the Treasury Facility of not less than 1.02:1.0.

In addition to proceeds from borrowings under our Investment Facility, we may also fund a portion of our investments with issuances of equity or senior debt securities. We expect our primary use of funds to be investments in portfolio companies, cash distributions to holders of our common stock and payment of fees and other operating expenses.

Dividends

We have elected to operate our business to be taxed as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, we generally may not pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders as dividends. To maintain our RIC status, we must meet specific source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute annually an amount equal to at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income” (which generally consists of ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, reduced by deductible expenses) and net tax-exempt interest. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income (i.e., realized capital gains in excess of realized capital losses) for the one-year period ended on October 31 of that calendar year, and (3) 100% of any ordinary income or capital gain net income not distributed in prior years. We currently intend to make sufficient distributions to satisfy the annual distribution requirement and to avoid the excise taxes.

We may not achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage test for borrowings when applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act and due to provisions in our Investment Facility. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our status as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions or distributions at any specific level.

Portfolio Credit Quality

Most of our portfolio investments at March 31, 2013 are in negotiated, and often illiquid, securities of energy-related businesses. We maintain a system to evaluate the credit quality of these investments. While incorporating quantitative analysis, this system is a qualitative assessment. This system is intended to reflect the overall, long-term performance of a portfolio company’s business, the collateral coverage of an investment, and other relevant factors. Our rating scale ranges from 1 to 7, with 1 being the highest credit quality. As of March 31, 2013, our average portfolio rating on a dollar-weighted fair market value basis was 4.2, compared to 4.1 as of December 31, 2012. Of the 23 rated investments in 15 portfolio companies as of March 31, 2013, 14 investments retained the same rating as of December 31, 2012, 1 investment improved in rating, 2 investments declined and we added 6 investments to our portfolio during the first three months of 2013. As of March 31, 2013, on a fair value basis, approximately 21% of our portfolio investments were in the form of senior secured debt securities. As of March 31, 2013, we had 2 investments on non-accrual status with an aggregate cost and fair value of $13.8 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. Our portfolio investments at fair value were approximately 94% and 98% of the related cost basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

We have certain unused commitments to extend credit to our portfolio companies. Generally, these commitments have fixed expiration dates, and we do not expect to fund the entire amounts before they expire. Therefore, these commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. In February 2010, we arranged for a letter of credit issued under the Investment Facility with respect to our investment in one of our portfolio companies. This letter of credit expired in February 2013. We do not report the unused portions of these commitments on our consolidated balance sheets.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (March 31, 2013), we performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance (i) that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act).

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On August 17, 2012, ATP filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. We own limited term ORRIs in certain offshore oil and gas producing properties operated by ATP. On August 23, 2012, the bankruptcy judge presiding over ATP’s case signed an order (Docket No. 191) (the “ORRI Order”) allowing ATP to pay proceeds of production received after August 17, 2012 to those parties entitled to receive them, including the ORRI holders, provided that the owners of the ORRIs execute an agreement providing for the repayment to ATP of any amounts that the bankruptcy court later finds to have been inappropriately paid (the “Disgorgement Agreement”). We executed the Disgorgement Agreement and began receiving monthly distributions in September 2012 from ATP of our share of production proceeds received by ATP after August 17, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, our unrecovered investment was $32.1 million, and we had received aggregate production payments of $15.1 million subject to the Disgorgement Agreement, of which $6.2 million was received in the first quarter of 2013. As of April 30, 2013, our unrecovered investment was $30.6 million, and we had received aggregate production payments of $16.9 million subject to the Disgorgement Agreement. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, we had incurred legal and consulting fees totaling $1.7 million in connection with the enforcement of our rights under the ORRIs, which will ultimately be added to the unrecovered investment balance under the terms of the ORRI agreements.

On October 17, 2012, we filed a lawsuit against ATP styled:NGP Capital Resources Company v. ATP Oil & Gas Corporation, Adv. Proc. No. 12-03443, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, seeking a declaration that the ORRIs are valid, fully enforceable, and not voidable. ATP filed an answer and counterclaim in which it (a) denies that the ORRIs are valid and enforceable, (b) seeks a declaration that (i) the ORRIs are a financing agreement and not a true sale and (ii) the ORRIs are executory contracts that are subject to rejection under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 365, and (c) seeks disgorgement from us of amounts paid to us since August 17, 2012, the date of filing of ATP’s Chapter 11 proceeding. The United States intervened in the lawsuit, arguing that the underlying leases are unexpired leases of real property or executory contracts (and not real property conveyances) and are subject to rejection by ATP. Certain service companies claiming statutory liens and privileges have intervened in the lawsuit for the purposes of establishing that their liens and privileges are superior to our rights and asserting related claims for disgorgement of proceeds paid to us by ATP. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the secondary lien holder, has also intervened in the lawsuit, arguing (i) the ORRIs are a financing agreement and not a true sale, (ii) our claims are barred, waived, released and/or otherwise foreclosed by the express terms of the conveyance of the ORRIs, and (iii) either we have not met a condition precedent or we failed to perform or substantially perform our contractual obligations. The issues in the lawsuit have been bifurcated such that the issues of (i) whether the conveyances and transactions between us and ATP constituted outright transfers of ownership and (ii) whether the conveyances are executory contracts or leases that ATP may reject, will be tried first. The lawsuit is currently pending, and an initial trial is scheduled to commence July 25, 2013. We intend to vigorously prosecute our position that the ORRIs constitute real property interests and are fully valid and enforceable pursuant to their terms.

Separately, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of ATP (the “Committee”) filed a motion (the “Motion”) requesting authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to be allowed to bring a fraudulent transfer action against us, in which the Committee seeks to allege (a) that ATP was insolvent at the time of the assignment of the ORRIs to us (b) that ATP received less than fair value from us in exchange for the assignments of the ORRIs and (c) as a result, the assignments should be set aside. The Company vigorously denies these allegations and opposes the Motion. The Motion has been abated until further notice.

On January 22, 2013, ATP filed a motion in its bankruptcy case [Docket No. 1252] to approve certain bid procedures and authorize the sale of its “Deepwater Assets,” which include the properties burdened by the ORRIs (the Gomez and Telemark Properties). On February 14, 2013, the Court entered an order approving bidding procedures and granting related relief [Docket No. 1419] (the “Bid Procedures Order”). The approved bid procedures state that the Deepwater Assets being sold are subject to and limited by all valid ORRIs or similar interests. An auction is scheduled for May 7, 2013, and a hearing to approve a sale to the winning bidder is scheduled for May 9, 2013.

On February 24, 2013, ATP filed an emergency motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking an order approving the shut-in of the Debtor’s Gomez Properties and granting related relief [Docket No. 1494] (the “Shut-In Motion”). As more fully set forth in the Shut-In Motion, ATP asserts that the Gomez Properties should be shut-in because their continued operation negatively affects ATP’s cash flow. The Gomez Properties are burdened by the ORRIs, and we receive distributions of production proceeds attributable to our interests in the Gomez Properties, subject to the terms of the ORRI Order. On February 27, 2013, we filed an objection to the Shut-In Motion (Docket No. 1520). An emergency hearing was conducted by the Court on February 28, 2013, and on that date the Court entered an initial Order Regarding Shut In of Gomez Wells [Docket No. 1531] (the “Gomez Order”). A final hearing on the Shut-In Motion commenced on March 28, 2013, and on March 29, 2013, the proceedings were temporarily suspended in order to allow ATP and the participating parties to engage in settlement negotiations. Subsequently, the parties announced a temporary resolution of the Shut-In Motion to be memorialized in the form of a proposed order, which has not been finalized.

On April 23, 2013, the Department of the Interior, on behalf of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement issued an order directing that the wells on the Gomez properties be shut-in and that operations cease beginning April 30, 2013 (and continuing thereafter) until the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (the “BOEM”) determines that the supplemental bonding requirements necessary to cover the estimated costs of plugging, abandonment and site restoration with respect to the wells on ATP’s Gomez properties (which requirements were set out in the Incidence of Noncompliance notice dated December 12, 2012, as amended January 18, 2013) have been addressed in a manner acceptable to the BOEM. Operations and production ceased on the Gomez properties on April 30, 2013. As a result of the shut-in of the Gomez wells, the cash flows attributable to the ORRIs will be negatively affected.

On April 1, 2013, GMX Resources (“GMX”) and certain of its affiliates filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In connection with its bankruptcy filing, GMX announced that it is pursuing an asset purchase agreement with certain senior first-lien creditors to acquire substantially all of GMX’s operating assets and undeveloped acreage. Once the contemplated asset purchase agreement with such senior creditors is finalized, the sale would then be subject to a public auction, pursuant to procedures to be approved by the Bankruptcy Court. We hold $12.7 million face amount of GMX’s Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes due 2018, or the GMX 2018 Notes, which are subordinate to the debt held by the senior creditors mentioned above.

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings with certainty, we do not believe that an adverse result in any pending legal proceeding other than those described above, individually or in the aggregate, would be material to our business, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Other than as provided below, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Payments of our limited term ORRI granted by ATP were delayed for as a result of bankruptcy proceedings. There is a risk that the consequences of any additional delays or future adverse rulings by the bankruptcy court would prevent us from recovering our full investment in the ORRI.

In 2011 and 2012, we purchased from ATP limited-term ORRIs in certain offshore oil and gas producing properties operated by ATP in the Gulf of Mexico. Under this arrangement, we own the right to our proportionate share (ranging from 5.0% to 10.8%) of the monthly production proceeds from the various oil and gas properties subject to the ORRI in ATP’s Gomez and Telemark properties. On August 17, 2012, ATP filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and received authorization to incur debtor-in-possession financing of approximately $600 million. ATP failed or refused to deliver our proportionate share of production proceeds for the production months of May and June 2012, which proceeds were due to be distributed on July 31, 2012 and August 31, 2012, respectively. On August 23, 2012, the bankruptcy judge presiding over ATP’s case signed an order allowing ATP to pay proceeds of production received after August 17, 2012 to those parties it believes are entitled to receive the same, including the ORRI holders, provided that the owners of the ORRIs execute an agreement providing for the repayment to ATP of any amounts that the bankruptcy court later finds to have been inappropriately paid. Each ORRI provides that it will terminate after we receive payments that equal our investment in the ORRI plus a time-value factor that is calculated at a rate of 13.2% per annum.

On April 23, 2013, the Department of the Interior, on behalf of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, issued an order directing that the wells on the Gomez properties be shut in and that operations cease. Operations and production ceased on the Gomez properties on April 30, 2013. As a result of the shut-in of the Gomez wells, our cash flows attributable to the ORRIs will be negatively affected. As of March 31, 2013, our unrecovered investment was $32.1 million. As of April 30, 2013, our unrecovered investment was $30.6 million. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, we had incurred legal and consulting fees totaling $1.7 million in connection with the enforcement of our rights under the ORRIs, which will ultimately be added to the unrecovered investment balance under the terms of the ORRI agreements.

Payments not made on the ORRIs for pre-petition production have been delayed, thus extending the time for termination of the ORRI, and may never be made in full. It is also possible that our rights to payments for post-petition production, as well as post-petition payments actually received, could be delayed or otherwise adversely affected in ATP’s bankruptcy proceedings, resulting in our inability to recover our investment in full and our expected return. If we do not receive payments for post-petition production from the wells subject to the ORRIs in amounts sufficient to provide for termination of the ORRIs prior to the wells being shut in, then we would fail to recover, in full, our investment plus the associated time-value factor. In the interim, if production declines significantly, the fair value of our ORRIs could decline accordingly.
