SECTION 4 - MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Item 4.01     Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

(a)      Prospect Energy Corporation (the "Company") filed a Form 8-K on January
         10, 2005 (the "Initial 8-K") reporting the resignation of KPMG LLP 
         ("KPMG") as the Company's independent auditors. In connection with the
         Initial 8-K, the Company provided KPMG with a copy of the disclosure 
         the Company made with respect to the change in accountants.  
         The Company requested that KPMG furnish the Company with a letter
         addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") stating 
         whether KPMG agreed with such disclosure.  On January 19, 2005, the
         Company received from KPMG the letter addressed to the SEC. The letter
         is attached as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
