Prospect Capital Corporation Analyst Notes On June 10, 2014, Prospect Capital Corporation (Prospect Capital) announced that following its discussion with the staffs of the Division of Investment Management and the Office of the Chief Accountant (OCA) of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a restatement of the Company's prior period financial statements will no longer be required to consolidate certain wholly-owned or substantially wholly-owned holding company subsidiaries. According to the Company, the update is in relation to its differences in views with SEC staff, as disclosed in its filing on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 on May 6, 2014 in which the SEC staff had asserted certain wholly-owned holding companies were investment companies that required to be consolidated in the historical financial results and financial position of Prospect Capital and hence and restatement of such financial statements was needed. However, at that time, Prospect Capital expressed its disagreement with the SEC views and wished to appeal the conclusion through OCA.
