Highlights for the Quarter: During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the following significant events occurred:
•Portfolio Activity:
◦In May 2024, our remaining shares in Funko Acquisition Holdings, LLC (“Funko”) were sold, representing an exit of our investment in Funko, and resulting in a return of our equity cost basis of $21 thousand and a realized gain of $2 thousand.
•Distributions and Dividends:
◦Paid an $0.08 per common share distribution to common stockholders in each of April, May and June 2024.
First Quarter Results: Net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $12.4 million, or $0.34 per weighted-average common share, compared to net investment income of $5.3 million, or $0.15 per weighted-average common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. This increase was a result of a decrease in total expenses, net of credits, primarily due to a decrease in accruals for capital gains-based incentive fees, partially offset by a decrease in total investment income in the current quarter.
Total investment income for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was $22.2 million and $23.6 million, respectively. The decrease quarter over quarter was due to a $0.8 million decrease in interest income, primarily due to certain loans to portfolio companies being placed on non-accrual status during the current quarter, as well as a $0.7 million decrease in success fee income, the timing of which can be variable.
Total expenses, net of credits, for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was $9.8 million and $18.3 million, respectively. The decrease quarter over quarter was primarily due to a $7.2 million decrease in accruals for the capital gains-based incentive fees in the current quarter, as a result of the net impact of realized and unrealized gains and losses, and a $2.2 million decrease in income incentive fees. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in other expenses, primarily due to an increase in bad debt expense.
Net asset value per common share as of June 30, 2024 was $13.01, compared to $13.43 as of March 31, 2024. The decrease quarter over quarter was primarily due to $18.9 million, or $0.52 per common share, of net unrealized depreciation on investments, and $8.8 million, or $0.24 per common share, of distributions paid to common shareholders, partially offset by $12.4 million, or $0.34 per common share, of net investment income.
Subsequent Events: After June 30, 2024, the following significant events occurred:
•Distributions and Dividends: In July 2024, our Board of Directors declared the following monthly and supplemental distributions to common stockholders.

Payment DateDistribution per Common Share

Non-GAAP Financial Measure - Adjusted Net Investment Income: On a supplemental basis, the Company discloses Adjusted net investment income, including on a weighted-average per share basis, which is a financial measure that is calculated and presented on a basis of methodology other than in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net investment income represents net investment income, excluding capital gains-based incentive fees. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure internally in analyzing financial results and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing results and trends for the Company. The Company's investment advisory agreement provides that a capital gains-based incentive fee is determined and paid annually with respect to realized capital gains (but not unrealized appreciation) to the extent such realized capital gains exceed realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation on investments for such year. However, under GAAP, a capital gains-based incentive fee is accrued if realized capital gains and unrealized appreciation of investments exceed realized capital losses and unrealized depreciation of investments. Refer to Note 4 - Related Party Transactions in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion. The Company believes that Adjusted net investment income is a useful indicator of operations exclusive of any capital gains-based incentive fees, as net investment income does not include realized or unrealized investment activity associated with the capital gains-based incentive fee.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net investment income (the most comparable GAAP measure) to Adjusted net investment income for the periods presented (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts; unaudited):

Adjusted net investment income may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, as it is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and therefore may be defined differently by other companies. In addition, Adjusted net investment income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
