* = Prosper is recording the entire $10million class action lawsuit settlement cost in Q2 of 2013.
** = Prosper's quarterly operating loss (not counting the $10million settlement) is over $6million which is ~30% higher than their previous record for a quarterly loss.
Prosper currently has (as of June 30th, 2013) a combined "Cash and Cash Equivalents" of $10,515,000, but this is before having made any payments for the Class Action Lawsuit settlement.
- Prosper Assets: $208,617,000 ***
- Prosper Liabilities: $202,325,000 *** (including the $10million settlement)
------------------------------------------
- Prosper Net Worth: $6,292,000
*** = Note that both Prosper's Assets and Liabilities include the ~$187million in outstanding loans.
- Compensation increased by ~$765k (~30%) between Q1 and Q2.
- Marketing increased by ~$2.3million (~147%) between Q1 and Q2.
At Prosper's current cash level and burn rate (and taking into account the first payment they will need to make for the Settlement), Prosper only has 1-2 more quarters until they will require yet another venture capital cash infusion lest they declare bankruptcy.

I'm not on Prosper, and I don't follow Prospers problems as much as others. Maybe they are in trouble, maybe they aren't. I'll let Prosper investors who know more about it state their opinions.
Let's see, I log onto that Prosper.org site you list, and I get this message:
The content and members of this site are not necessarily neutral, or even sensible. There is a lot of value, but also a lot of junk.

Prosper just filed an 8-K with the SEC stating that their CFO (Kenneth Niewald) has resigned and will be replaced by Joshua P. Hachadourian.

They spent $2.3 million more on marketing and advertising in Q2 than in Q1, but their total revenue had increased only by $1.7 million. Obviously, their advertising campaign has not been very effective or not effective enough.
Marketing and Advertising: from $1.57 million in Q1 to $3.88 million in Q2;
Total Revenue: from $1.7m Q1 to $3.4m in Q2.

That is probably the reason why their CFO has resigned.

It's a 6-week tenure as PMI CFO:
On July 17, 2013, Kenneth Niewald was appointed Chief Financial Officer of PMI.
(http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1416265/000114036113032671/form10q.htm)
Seems nobody wanted to be the CFO:
Daniel P. Sanford resigned as SVP, Finance of PMI and as Treasurer of Prosper Funding, effective as of May 1, 2013. On that same date, Kenneth L. Niewald was appointed to serve as Acting Chief Financial Officer of PMI and as Treasurer of Prosper Funding and was designated as the principal financial and accounting officer of both PMI and Prosper Funding.

Is it possible some accounting games are being played, the CFOs are being asked to sign fraudulent statements, and these CFOs are resigning instead so as not to end up as somebody's prison girlfriend? Hard to imagine someone resigning after 6 weeks just because the company's not doing well. The CFOs knew things were bad when they signed on and a few weeks is hardly enough time to make a real turnaround.
Theories aside, when is it time to pull money out of Prosper?

Prosper was in much worse shape several months ago and received a significant sum to keep operating. With the class action behind them and the industry continuing to grow rapidly, there will be plenty of VC funding available. Investors see a disruptive industry and a potentially lucrative IPO on the horizon -- which, by the way, does not depend on the company being profitable. You can argue that is illogical, but that's the reality of start-ups. Look at Amazon, they still don't make money consistently.

I'll bet there are a lot of forum dwellers with secret models that look an awful like a blank sheet of paper or a raving lunatic's excel spreadsheet (LACES OUT). Not singling anyone out in particular.
