Senior loans
in which Prospect Street Income Shares Inc. (the “Fund”), invests generally
pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a
base lending rate plus a premium. (Unless otherwise identified by footnote
(g), all senior loans carry a variable rate interest). These base lending
rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United
States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks
such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate
of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the weighted average rate at March 31,
2008. Senior loans, while exempt from registration under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot
be sold publicly. Senior secured floating rate loans often require
prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its
election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual
requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a
result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the
stated maturity shown.

Security Valuation:
Investments
for which listed market quotations are readily available are stated at market
value, which is determined by using the last reported sale price or, if no
sales are reported, as in the case of some securities traded over-the-counter,
the last reported bid price. Short-term investments having remaining maturities
of 60 days or less are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market
value.
Other
investments, which comprise the major portion of the Fund’s portfolio holdings,
are primarily non-investment grade corporate debt securities, for which market
quotations are not readily available due to a thinly traded market with a
limited number of market makers. These investments are stated at fair value on
the basis of subjective valuations furnished by an independent pricing service
or broker dealers, subject to review and adjustment by Highland Capital
Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) based upon quotations obtained from
market makers. The independent pricing service determines value based primarily
on quotations from dealers and brokers, market transactions, accessing data
from quotation services, offering sheets obtained from dealers and various
relationships between securities. The independent pricing service utilizes the
last sales price based on odd-lot trades, if available. If such price is not
available, the price furnished is based on round-lot or institutional size
trades. For securities in which there is no independent price from a pricing service
or from round-lot or institutional size trades, they are fair value priced in
good faith by the Investment Adviser.

annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurement” (“FAS 157”):
In September 2006,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FAS 157, “Fair Value
Measurement,” which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines how fair value should
be determined for financial reporting purposes, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value under GAAP, and requires additional disclosures about the
use of fair value measurements, but is not expected to result in any changes to
the fair value measurements of the investments. FAS 157 requires companies to
provide expanded information about the assets and liabilities measured at fair
value and the potential effect of these fair valuations on net assets for the
reportable periods as contained in the Fund’s periodic filings.
The Fund has
adopted FAS 157 as of January 1, 2008. The Fund has performed an analysis of
all existing investments and derivative instruments to determine the
significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination.
Based on this assessment, the adoption of FAS 157 did not have any material
effect on the Fund’s net asset value. However, the adoption of FAS 157 does
require the Fund to provide additional disclosures about the inputs used to
develop the measurements and the effect of certain measurements The three
levels of the fair value hierarchy established under FAS 157 are described
below:
•
Level 1
— Quoted unadjusted prices for
identical instruments in active markets to which the Fund has 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;
and
•
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 the Fund’s
own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or
liability based on the best available information.
The inputs or
methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of the inputs
used to value the Fund’s assets as of March 31, 2008 as follows:
