Recent Developments

In June 2007, the company completed the full investment of its initial public offering proceeds with four additional investments totaling $29.5 million. The portfolio represents a strategic mix of 17 percent upstream investments, 59 percent midstream investments, 7 percent downstream and 17 percent in aggregates and coal. Percentages are based on fair market values as of May 31, 2007, except for investments made after May 31, 2007, which are valued at cost.

In June 2007, the company made four new investments:

·	$10.0 million follow-on investment in High Sierra Energy, L.P. common units to support the company’s organic growth projects and selective acquisitions.

$10.0 million in common units of International Resource Partners, L.P. supporting the company's initial acquisition of surface and underground coal mine operations in southern West Virginia. Initial assets include metallurgical and steam coal reserves, a coal washing and preparation plant, rail load-out facilities and a sales and marketing subsidiary.

$7.5 million in a direct placement in EV Energy Partners, L.P.’s (Nasdaq: EVEP) common units. EVEP has stated that the proceeds will be used to repay their borrowings under a revolving credit facility used to finance a previously completed acquisition of Monroe field properties in Louisiana. In addition, EVEP stated that the proceeds will fund a portion of its $100 million acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in Central and East Texas.

·	$2.0 million follow-on investment in subordinated debt of Mowood, LLC to finance the purchase of equipment for landfill gas-to-energy projects in Oklahoma and Florida.

“We continue to see strong deal flow as reflected by our investment pace and pipeline,” said Ed Russell, Tortoise Capital Resources’ President. “We believe our platform will continue to provide us with the opportunity to select long-term accretive investments for our stockholders.”

On June 1, 2007, we paid a quarterly dividend to our stockholders of record as of May 24, 2007, of $0.16 per common share. The company anticipates its next quarterly distribution will be paid on or about Sept. 1, 2007.
