We are proud to announce to our investors that, as part of our commitment to transparency and reliability, Prosper’s performance results have been audited by Ashland Partners LLP, an independent auditor that specializes in GIPS verification and consultation. The report confirmed Prosper’s 10.69%* annualized seasoned rate of return, net of fees, for the period of July 1, 2009 through September 30, 2011. This is the first time an accredited, independent organization has conducted a comprehensive audit of peer-to-peer lending returns. Read more about the audit conducted by Ashland in today’s press release, and in the full copy of the Independent Accountant’s Report on Prosper’s Performance Record. *Seasoned Return calculations represent historical performance data for the Borrower Payment Dependent Notes (“Notes”) issued and sold by Prosper since July 15, 2009. To be included in the calculations, Notes must be associated with a borrower loan originated more than 10 months ago; this calculation uses loans originated through November 30, 2010. Our research shows that Prosper Note returns historically have shown increased stability after they’ve reached ten months of age. For that reason, we provide “Seasoned Returns,” defined as the Return for Notes aged 10 months or more. To calculate the Return, all payments received on borrower loans, net of principal repayment, credit losses, and servicing costs for such loans, are aggregated and then divided by the average daily amount of aggregate outstanding principal. To annualize this cumulative return, it is divided by the dollar-weighted average age of the loans in days and then multiplied by 365. All calculations were made as of September 30, 2011. Seasoned Return is not necessarily indicative of the future performance on any Notes.
