Company at a Glance

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (NYSE: TPZ) invests in a portfolio of fixed income and equity securities issued by power and energy infrastructure companies. The Fund’s goal is to provide stockholders a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to invest in a portfolio of companies that provide stable and defensive characteristics throughout economic cycles.

Infrastructure Asset Class

Increasingly, institutions have allocated a portion of their investment portfolio to infrastructure due to its desirable investment characteristics, which include:


For Investors Seeking

Power and Energy Infrastructure Operations

At the heart of the infrastructure asset class is power and energy infrastructure:

Power Infrastructure — The ownership and operation of asset systems that provide electric power generation (including renewable energy), transmission and distribution.

Energy Infrastructure — The ownership and operation of a network of pipeline assets to transport, store, gather, and/or process crude oil, refined petroleum products, natural gas or natural gas liquids (including renewable energy).
 


Distribution Policy Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (‘‘TPZ”), with approval of its Board of Directors (the “Board”), has adopted a distribution policy (the “Policy”) with the purpose of distributing over the course of each year, through periodic distributions as nearly equal as practicable and any required special distributions, an amount closely approximating the total taxable income of TPZ during such year and, if so determined by the Board, all or a portion of the return of capital paid by portfolio companies to TPZ during such year. In accordance with its Policy, TPZ distributes a fixed amount per common share, currently $0.125, each month to its common shareholders. This amount is subject to change from time to time in the discretion of the Board. Although the level of distributions is independent of TPZ’s performance, TPZ expects such distributions to correlate with its performance over time. Each monthly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions and potential increases or decreases in the final dividend periods for each year in light of TPZ’s performance for the entire calendar year and to enable TPZ to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Policy without prior notice to shareholders if it deems such action to be in the best interests of TPZ and its shareholders. For example, the Board might take such action if the Policy had the effect of shrinking TPZ’s assets to a level that was determined to be detrimental to TPZ shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Policy could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if TPZ’s stock is trading at or above net asset value), widening an existing trading discount, or decreasing an existing premium.

You should not draw any conclusions about TPZ’s investment performance from the amount of the distribution or from the terms of TPZ’s distribution policy. TPZ estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in TPZ is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect TPZ’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon TPZ’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. TPZ will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.


 

 






March 24, 2014

Dear Fellow Stockholders,

The first fiscal quarter ending Feb. 28, 2014 was generally positive for power and energy infrastructure companies, which continued to benefit from the escalating volumes of North American oil and natural gas. Due to a much colder winter, particularly in the eastern portion of the U.S., power generation and electricity consumption increased during the quarter as compared to the same time period last year. Against this positive backdrop, these companies’ performance continued to reflect their strong fundamentals and their ability to provide steady cash flows and growth potential.

From a broader perspective, the equity market was uneven, with stocks recording strong gains in December following the Federal Reserve’s decision to begin tapering its asset purchases, but then falling sharply in January as emerging markets slowed. February saw equities back in positive territory as those concerns abated and U.S. companies delivered generally upbeat earnings reports. It was a mixed period for fixed income as well, with the 10-year Treasury yield dropping slightly from 2.75 percent at the start of the period to 2.66 percent at its close, while the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index returned 1.4 percent for the fiscal quarter.

Power and Energy Infrastructure Sector Review and Outlook

The TPZ Benchmark Composite* returned 3.1 percent for the fiscal quarter. The benchmark is comprised of a blend of 70 percent fixed income and 30 percent equity securities issued by companies in the power and energy infrastructure sectors.

The escalating pace of North American oil and natural gas production continued to benefit the midstream and downstream sectors of the energy value chain, which are the primary areas of focus for this fund. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects annual average domestic crude oil production will approach 8.4 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2014 and as much as 9.2 million bbl/d in 2015. Domestic natural gas production averaged 66.5 billion cubic feet per day in 2013,¹ although the source of supply has shifted as low natural gas prices have stalled drilling in some areas. We continue to see a need for new power and energy infrastructure projects. As an example, The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) noted in a recent report that while there has been an increase in investment in power transmission infrastructure since 2005, there continues to be a significant need for further investment to improve upon America’s aging electrical grid.

Capital markets remained supportive, with power and energy infrastructure companies raising approximately $23.3 billion in total capital during the fiscal quarter. Mergers and acquisitions totaling more than $5.1 billion for such companies were announced during the same period.

Fund Performance Review and Outlook

The fund’s total assets increased from $233.8 million on Nov. 30, 2013, to $236.4 million on Feb. 28, 2014. This increase resulted primarily from net realized and unrealized gains on investments. Leverage (bank debt) as a percent of total assets remained relatively consistent, ending the period at 15.8 percent of total assets.

The fund paid monthly distributions of $0.125 per common share ($1.50 annualized) throughout the fiscal quarter. These distributions represented an annualized distribution rate of 5.9 percent based on the fund’s first quarter closing price of $25.47. Please refer to the inside front cover of this report for important information about the fund’s distribution policy.

For the fiscal quarter, the fund’s market-based total return was 4.5 percent and its NAV-based total return was 2.6 percent (both including the reinvestment of distributions). The difference between the market value total return and the NAV total return reflects a narrowing in the discount of the fund’s stock price relative to its NAV during the quarter. This was not the case for many closed-end funds in recent months, as they came under pressure as the market continued to factor in concern over rising interest rates, with the average discount nearly doubling from last May through February.

Concluding Thoughts

We continue to believe that now is a great time to invest in power and energy infrastructure companies. Production is growing at a healthy pace and driving healthy cash flows and return potential. In our view, the transformation underway in North America bodes well for the fund’s long-term investment strategy, U.S. security, our economy and our energy future.

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited)  

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. In addition, this report contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements include the plans and objectives of management for future operations and financial objectives and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors that could cause actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our public filings with the SEC.

Overview

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc.’s (“TPZ”) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. We seek to provide our stockholders a vehicle to invest in a portfolio consisting primarily of securities issued by power and energy infrastructure companies. Power infrastructure operations use asset systems to provide electric power generation (including renewable energy), transmission and distribution. Energy infrastructure operations use a network of pipeline assets to transport, store, gather and/or process crude oil, refined petroleum products (including biodiesel and ethanol), natural gas or natural gas liquids. We believe the power and energy infrastructure sectors provide stable and defensive characteristics throughout economic cycles. A majority of the investments are in fixed income securities with the remainder invested in equities which provide growth potential.

TPZ is a registered non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and expects to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”) serves as investment adviser.

Company Update

Market values of our debt and equity investments increased during the 1st quarter, contributing to an overall increase of $2.5 million in total assets during the quarter. Total income received from our investments increased slightly while total operating and leverage expenses were also up slightly as compared to 4th quarter 2013. We maintained our monthly distribution of $0.125 per share. Additional information on the results of our operations is discussed in more detail below.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial statements are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies are those applicable to the valuation of investments and certain revenue recognition matters as discussed in Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Determining Distributions to Stockholders

We pay monthly distributions based primarily upon our current and estimated future distributable cash flow (“DCF”). In addition, and to the extent that the sum of our net investment company taxable income and net realized gains from investments exceed our monthly distributions, we intend to make an additional distribution to common stockholders in the last quarter of the calendar year in order to avoid being subject to U.S. federal income taxes. Our Board of Directors reviews the distribution rate quarterly and may adjust the monthly distributions throughout the year. Our distribution policy is described on the inside front cover of this report.

Determining DCF

DCF is income from investments less expenses. Income from investments includes the accrued interest from corporate bonds, cash distributions and paid-in-kind distributions from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and related companies and dividends earned from short-term investments. The total expenses include current or anticipated operating expenses and leverage costs.

The Key Financial Data table discloses the calculation of DCF and should be read in conjunction with this discussion. The difference between income from investments in the DCF calculation and total investment income as reported in the Statement of Operations, is reconciled as follows: (1) GAAP recognizes distribution income from MLPs and common stock on their ex-dates, whereas the DCF calculation may reflect distribution income on their pay dates; (2) GAAP recognizes that a significant portion of the cash distributions received from MLPs are characterized as a return of capital and therefore excluded from investment income, whereas the DCF calculation includes the return of capital; (3) income from investments in the DCF calculation includes the value of dividends paid-in-kind (additional stock or units), whereas such amounts are not included as income for GAAP purposes; and (4) amortization of premium or discount for all securities is calculated using the yield to worst methodology for GAAP purposes while yield to call is used in calculating amortization for long-dated hybrid securities in the DCF calculation. The treatment of expenses in the DCF calculation also differs from what is reported in the Statement of Operations. In addition to the total operating expenses, including fee waiver, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, the DCF calculation reflects interest expense and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swap settlements as leverage costs. A reconciliation of Net Investment Income to DCF is included below.

Income from Investments

We seek to achieve our investment objectives by investing in income-producing fixed income and equity securities of companies that we believe offer attractive distribution rates. We evaluate each holding based upon its contribution to our investment income and its risk relative to other potential investments.

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited)
(Continued)
  

Total income from investments for the 1st quarter 2014 was approximately $3.5 million, relatively unchanged as compared to 4th quarter 2013 and a decrease of 0.3 percent as compared to 1st quarter 2013. These changes reflect increases in per share distribution rates on our MLP investments, the impact of trading activity wherein certain investments with higher current yields and lower expected future growth were sold and replaced with investments that had lower current yields and higher expected future growth, as well as fixed income investments that have been refinanced in a lower interest rate environment.

Expenses

We incur two types of expenses: (1) operating expenses, consisting primarily of the advisory fee, and (2) leverage costs. On a percentage basis, operating expenses before leverage costs were an annualized 1.10 percent of average total assets for 1st quarter 2014 as compared to 1.07 percent for the 4th quarter 2013 and 1.07 percent for the 1st quarter 2013. Advisory fees for 1st quarter 2014 increased by approximately 4.1 percent as compared to 4th quarter 2013 due to an increase in average monthly managed assets during the quarter and the impact of the change in advisory fee waiver. While the contractual advisory fee is 0.95 percent of average monthly managed assets, the Adviser waived an amount equal to 0.10 percent of average monthly managed assets for calendar year 2013, and has agreed to waive 0.05 percent of average monthly managed assets for calendar year 2014. Other operating expenses increased slightly as compared to 4th quarter 2013.

Leverage costs consist of two major components: (1) the direct interest expense, which will vary from period to period as our margin borrowing facility has a variable interest rate, and (2) the realized and unrealized gain or loss on our interest rate swap settlements. Detailed information on our margin borrowing facility is included in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.

As indicated in Note 9 of our Notes to Financial Statements, at February 28, 2014, we had $26 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts with Wells Fargo Bank in an attempt to reduce a portion of the interest rate risk arising from our leveraged capital structure. TPZ has agreed to pay Wells Fargo Bank a fixed rate while receiving a floating rate based upon the 3-month U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The spread between the fixed swap rate and LIBOR is reflected in our Statement of Operations as a realized or unrealized gain when LIBOR exceeds the fixed rate (Wells Fargo Bank pays TPZ the net difference) or a realized or unrealized loss when the fixed rate exceeds LIBOR (TPZ pays Wells Fargo Bank the net difference). The interest rate swap contracts have a weighted average fixed rate of 1.68 percent and weighted average remaining maturity of approximately 4.3 years. This swap arrangement effectively fixes the cost of approximately 70 percent of our outstanding leverage over the remaining swap period.

Total leverage costs for DCF purposes were approximately $187,000 for the 1st quarter 2014, a slight decrease as compared to 4th quarter 2013.

Interest accrues on the margin facility at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 0.75 percent and unused balances are subject to a fee of 0.25 percent. The annual rate of leverage may vary in future periods as a result of changes in LIBOR, the utilization of our margin facility, and maturity of our interest rate swap contracts. Additional information on our leverage is disclosed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources and in our Notes to Financial Statements.

Distributable Cash Flow and Capital Gains

For 1st quarter 2014, our DCF was approximately $2.7 million, a decrease of 0.4 percent as compared to 1st quarter 2013 and a decrease of 0.6 percent as compared to 4th quarter 2013. This difference is the net result of the change in income from investments and expenses as outlined above. In addition, we had net realized gains of approximately $1.5 million from the sale of portfolio investments in the 1st quarter 2014. On November 11, 2013, we declared monthly distributions for the 2014 1st fiscal quarter of $0.125 per share. This is unchanged as compared to 4th quarter 2013.

Net Investment Income on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for 1st quarter 2014 (in thousands):

1st Qtr 2014
Net Investment Income        $ 1,400  
Adjustments to reconcile to DCF:
     Dividends paid in stock 615
     Distributions characterized as return of capital 708
     Interest rate swap expenses (94 )
     Change in amortization methodology 59
          DCF $ 2,688

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had total assets of $236.4 million at quarter-end. Our total assets reflect the value of our investments, which are itemized in the Schedule of Investments. It also reflects cash, interest and receivables and any expenses that may have been prepaid. During the 1st quarter 2014, total assets increased by $2.5 million. This change was primarily the result of a $2.7 million increase in the value of our investments as reflected by the change in net realized and unrealized gains on investments (excluding return of capital on distributions) and net sales (including impact of bond call activity) of $0.3 million.

Total leverage outstanding at February 28, 2014 was $37.4 million, unchanged as compared to November 30, 2013. Total leverage represented 15.8 percent of total assets at February 28, 2014, a decrease from 16.0 percent of total assets at November 30, 2013 and from 15.9 percent of total assets at February 28, 2013. Our leverage as a percent of total assets remains below our long-term target level of 20 percent of total assets. This allows the opportunity

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited)
(Continued)
  

to add leverage when compelling investment opportunities arise. Temporary increases to up to 25 percent of our total assets may be permitted, provided that such leverage is consistent with the limits set forth in the 1940 Act, and that such leverage is expected to be reduced over time in an orderly fashion to reach our long-term target. Our leverage ratio is impacted by increases or decreases in investment values, issuance of equity and/or the sale of securities where proceeds are used to reduce leverage.

We have used leverage to acquire investments consistent with our investment philosophy. The terms of our leverage are governed by regulatory and contractual asset coverage requirements that arise from the use of leverage. Additional information on our leverage and asset coverage requirements is discussed in Note 10 in the Notes to Financial Statements. Our coverage ratio is updated each week on our Web site at www.tortoiseadvisors.com.

Taxation of our Distributions

We expect that distributions paid on common shares will generally consist of: (i) investment company taxable income (“ICTI”) which includes ordinary income net of deductions plus any short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses (under current law, distributions of ICTI may be designated as qualified dividend income (“QDI”) to the extent of any QDI received from our investment in common stocks); (ii) long-term capital gain (net gain from the sale of a capital asset held longer than 12 months over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) return of capital. The QDI and long-term capital gain tax rates are variable based on the taxpayer’s taxable income.

We have received exemptive relief from the SEC to distribute capital gains throughout the year and we may also distribute additional capital gains in the last calendar quarter if necessary to meet minimum distribution requirements and to avoid being subject to excise taxes. If, however, we elect to retain any capital gains, we will be subject to U.S. capital gains taxes. The payment of those taxes will flow-through to stockholders as a tax credit to apply against their U.S. income tax payable on the deemed distribution of the retained capital gain.

For tax purposes, distributions paid to common stockholders for the calendar year ended December 31, 2013 were approximately 4 percent QDI, 32 percent ordinary dividend income, and 64 percent long-term capital gain. This information is reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV and is available on our Web site at www.tortoiseadvisors.com.

2014 1st Quarter Report       13





Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
February 28, 2014

1. Organization

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on July 5, 2007, and is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Company seeks to provide its stockholders with a vehicle to invest in a portfolio consisting primarily of securities issued by power and energy infrastructure companies. The Company commenced operations on July 31, 2009. The Company’s stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TPZ.”

2. Significant Accounting Policies

A. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B. Investment Valuation

The Company primarily owns securities that are listed on a securities exchange or over-the-counter market. The Company values those securities at their last sale price on that exchange or over-the-counter market on the valuation date. If the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Company uses the price from the exchange that it considers to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities listed on the NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or over-the-counter market on such day, the security will be valued at the mean between the last bid price and last ask price on such day.

The Company may invest up to 15 percent of its total assets in restricted securities that are ineligible for resale under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. Restricted securities are subject to statutory or contractual restrictions on their public resale, which may make it more difficult to obtain a valuation and may limit the Company’s ability to dispose of them. Investments in private placement securities and other securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued in good faith by using fair value procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Such fair value procedures consider factors such as discounts to publicly traded issues, time until conversion date, securities with similar yields, quality, type of issue, coupon, duration and rating. If events occur that affect the value of the Company’s portfolio securities before the net asset value has been calculated (a “significant event”), the portfolio securities so affected will generally be priced using fair value procedures.

An equity security of a publicly traded company acquired in a direct placement transaction may be subject to restrictions on resale that can affect the security’s liquidity and fair value. Such securities that are convertible or otherwise will become freely tradable will be valued based on the market value of the freely tradable security less an applicable discount. Generally, the discount will initially be equal to the discount at which the Company purchased the securities. To the extent that such securities are convertible or otherwise become freely tradable within a time frame that may be reasonably determined, an amortization schedule may be used to determine the discount.

The Company generally values debt securities at prices based on market quotations for such securities, except those securities purchased with 60 days or less to maturity are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.

The Company generally values its interest rate swap contracts using industry-accepted models which discount the estimated future cash flows based on the stated terms of the interest rate swap agreement by using interest rates currently available in the market, or based on dealer quotations, if available.

C. Security Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from investments generally are comprised of ordinary income and return of capital. The Company allocates distributions between investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on information provided by each portfolio company and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on actual allocations received from the portfolio companies after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Company.

For the period from December 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014, the Company estimated the allocation of investment income and return of capital for distributions and dividends received from equity securities within the Statement of Operations. For this period, the Company has estimated approximately 12 percent as investment income and approximately 88 percent as return of capital.

D. Distributions to Stockholders

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Company intends to make monthly cash distributions of its investment company taxable income to common stockholders. In addition, on an annual basis, the Company may distribute additional capital gains in the last calendar quarter if necessary to meet minimum distribution requirements and thus avoid being subject to excise taxes. The amount of any distributions will be determined by the Board of Directors. The character of distributions to common stockholders made during the year may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Distributions paid to stockholders in excess of investment company taxable income and net realized gains will be treated as return of capital to stockholders. For the year ended November 30, 2013, the Company’s distributions for tax purposes were comprised of 36 percent dividend income and 64 percent long-term capital gain. The tax character of distributions paid to common stockholders for the current year will be determined subsequent to November 30, 2014.

E. Federal Income Taxation

The Company qualifies as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a result, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income and gains that it distributes each taxable year to stockholders if it meets certain minimum distribution requirements. The Company is required to distribute substantially all of its income, in

14       Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc.





Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Continued)

addition to other asset diversification requirements. The Company is subject to a 4 percent non-deductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company makes sufficient distributions to satisfy the excise tax avoidance requirement. The Company invests in MLPs, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs, the Company reports its allocable share of the MLP’s taxable income in computing its own taxable income.

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as part of tax expense. The Company has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. All tax years since inception remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

F. Offering and Debt Issuance Costs

Offering costs related to the issuance of common stock are charged to additional paid-in capital when the stock is issued. Debt issuance costs related to long-term debt obligations are capitalized and amortized over the period the debt is outstanding.

G. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments (principally interest rate swap contracts) to manage interest rate risk. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value during the reporting period, and amounts accrued under the agreements, included as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. The fair value of derivative financial instruments in a loss position are offset against the fair value of derivative financial instruments in a gain position, with the net fair value appropriately reflected as an asset or liability within the accompanying Statement of Assets & Liabilities. Cash settlements under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements and termination of such agreements are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations.

H. Indemnifications

Under the Company’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

3. Concentration Risk

Under normal circumstances, the Company intends to invest at least 80 percent of total assets (including assets obtained through potential leverage) in securities of companies that derive more than 50 percent of their revenue from power or energy operations and no more than 25 percent of the total assets in equity securities of MLPs as of the date of purchase. The Company will invest a minimum of 60 percent of total assets in fixed income securities, which may include up to 25 percent of its assets in non-investment grade rated fixed income securities. In determining application of these policies, the term “total assets” includes assets obtained through leverage. Companies that primarily invest in a particular sector may experience greater volatility than companies investing in a broad range of industry sectors. The Company may, for defensive purposes, temporarily invest all or a significant portion of its assets in investment grade securities, short-term debt securities and cash or cash equivalents. To the extent the Company uses this strategy, it may not achieve its investment objective.

4. Agreements

The Company has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.95 percent of the Company’s average monthly total assets (including any assets attributable to leverage) minus accrued liabilities (other than debt entered into for purposes of leverage and the aggregate liquidation preference of outstanding preferred stock, if any) (“Managed Assets”), in exchange for the investment advisory services provided. The Adviser waived an amount equal to 0.10 percent of average monthly Managed Assets for the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, and has contractually agreed to a fee waiver of 0.05 percent of average monthly Managed Assets for the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. The waived fees are not subject to recapture by the Adviser.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as the Company’s administrator. The Company pays the administrator a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.04 percent of the first $1,000,000,000 of the Company’s Managed Assets, 0.03 percent on the next $1,000,000,000 of Managed Assets and 0.02 percent on the balance of the Company’s Managed Assets.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. serves as the Company’s transfer agent and registrar and Computershare Inc. serves as the Company’s dividend paying agent and agent for the automatic dividend reinvestment plan.

U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as the Company’s custodian. The Company pays the custodian a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.004 percent of the average daily market value of the Company’s portfolio assets, subject to a minimum annual fee of $4,800, plus portfolio transaction fees.

5. Income Taxes

It is the Company’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains or losses on investments. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, may result in reclassifications to undistributed net investment income (loss), undistributed net realized gain (loss) and additional paid-in capital.

As of November 30, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation $ 66,013,445
Undistributed ordinary income 6,717  
Other temporary differences (25,659 )
Accumulated earnings $ 65,994,503

As of February 28, 2014, the aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $162,705,478. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of fair value over tax cost was $71,192,758, the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over fair value was $342,983 and the net unrealized appreciation was $70,849,775.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

      Level 1 —  quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
     
  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.)
     
  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table provides the fair value measurements of applicable Company assets by level within the fair value hierarchy as of February 28, 2014. These assets are measured on a recurring basis.

Fair Value at

(a) All other industry classifications are identified in the Schedule of Investments.
(b) Short-term investment is a sweep investment for cash balances in the Company at February 28, 2014.

The Company did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period from December 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014. The Company utilizes the beginning of reporting period method for determining transfers between levels. There were no transfers between levels for the period from December 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014.

Valuation Techniques

In general, and where applicable, the Company uses readily available market quotations based upon the last updated sales price from the principal market to determine fair value. This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 1 investments.

Some debt securities are fair valued using a market value obtained from an approved pricing service which utilizes a pricing matrix based upon yield data for securities with similar characteristics or from a direct written broker-dealer quotation from a dealer who has made a market in the security. This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 2 assets.

Interest rate swap contracts are valued by using industry-accepted models which discount the estimated future cash flows based on a forward rate curve and the stated terms of the interest rate swap agreement by using interest rates currently available in the market, or based on dealer quotations, if available, which applies to the Company’s Level 2 liabilities.

7. Restricted Securities

Certain of the Company’s investments are restricted and are valued as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Directors, as more fully described in Note 2. The table below shows the principal amount, acquisition date(s), acquisition cost, fair value and the percent of net assets which the securities comprise at February 28, 2014. Each of the securities in the table below are eligible for resale under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

8. Investment Transactions

For the period from December 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014, the Company purchased (at cost) and sold securities (proceeds received) in the amount of $8,213,147 and $8,491,155 (excluding short-term debt securities), respectively.

9. Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts in an attempt to protect itself from increasing interest expense on its leverage resulting from increasing short-term interest rates. A decline in interest rates may result in a decline in the value of the swap contracts, which may result in a decline in the net assets of the Company. At the time the interest rate swap contracts reach their scheduled termination, there is a risk that the Company would not be able to obtain a replacement transaction, or that the terms of the replacement would not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. In addition, if the Company is required to terminate any swap contract early due to the net assets of the Company falling below $60,000,000 or the Company failing to maintain a required 300 percent asset coverage of the liquidation value of the outstanding debt, then the Company could be required to make a payment to the extent of any net unrealized depreciation of the terminated swaps, in addition to redeeming all or some of its outstanding debt. The Company segregates a portion of its assets as collateral for the amount of any net liability of its interest rate swap contracts. Details of the interest rate swap contracts outstanding as of February 28, 2014, are as follows:

Fixed Rate Floating Rate Unrealized
Maturity Notional Paid by the Received by Appreciation
Counterparty         Date       Amount       Company       the Company       (Depreciation)
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 01/05/2016 $ 2,500,000 1.09% 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR     $ (35,513 )    
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 01/05/2017 2,500,000 1.34% 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR (47,585 )
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 08/07/2017   6,000,000   1.89% 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR (197,240 )
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 08/06/2018 6,000,000 1.95%   3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR   (161,863 )
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 11/29/2019   6,000,000 1.33% 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR   167,524
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. 08/06/2020 3,000,000 2.18% 3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR (33,622 )
$ 26,000,000 $ (308,299 )

The Company is exposed to credit risk on the interest rate swap contracts if the counterparty should fail to perform under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts. The amount of credit risk is limited to the net appreciation of the interest rate swap contracts, if any, as no collateral is pledged by the counterparty. In addition, if the counterparty to the interest rate swap contracts defaults, the Company would incur a loss in the amount of the receivable and would not receive amounts due from the counterparty to offset the interest payments on the Company’s leverage.

The unrealized appreciation of interest rate swap contracts in the amount of $64,366 for the period ended February 28, 2014 is included in the Statement of Operations. Cash settlement payments under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts in the amount of $95,321 are recorded as realized losses for the period ended February 28, 2014. The total notional amount of all open swap agreements at February 28, 2014 is indicative of the volume of this derivative type for the period ended February 28, 2014.

The following table presents a gross presentation, the effects of offsetting, and a net presentation of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts at February 28, 2014.

10. Credit Facility

As of February 28, 2014, the Company has a 270-day rolling evergreen margin loan facility with Bank of America, N.A. The terms of the agreement provide for a $40,000,000 facility that is secured by certain of the Company’s assets. Outstanding balances generally will accrue interest at a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.75 percent and unused portions of the facility will accrue a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25 percent.

The average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the margin loan facility was utilized during the period ended February 28, 2014 was approximately $36,900,000 and 0.99 percent, respectively. At February 28, 2014, the principal balance outstanding was $37,400,000 at an interest rate of 0.99 percent.

Under the terms of the margin loan facility, the Company must maintain asset coverage required under the 1940 Act. If the Company fails to maintain the required coverage, it may be required to repay a portion of an outstanding balance until the coverage requirement has been met. At February 28, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the margin loan facility.

11. Common Stock

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of capital stock authorized and 6,951,333 shares outstanding at February 28, 2014 and November 30, 2013.

12. Subsequent Events

On March 31, 2014, the Company paid a distribution in the amount of $0.125 per common share, for a total of $868,917. Of this total, the dividend reinvestment amounted to $44,592.

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that no additional items require recognition or disclosure.
