(1)

Core net investment income, as presented, excludes the impact of capital gains incentive fees and income taxes, the majority of which are excise taxes.  The Company believes presenting core net investment income and the related per share amount is a useful supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance.  However, core net investment income is not a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S GAAP.  A reconciliation of net investment income in accordance with U.S GAAP to core net investment income is presented in the table below the financial statements.       

(2)

Total realized income is the sum of net investment income and net realized gains on investments; both U.S GAAP measures.

(3)

In 2021, fourth quarter dividends were declared in the third quarter.

(1)

The dollar-weighted average annualized effective yield is computed using the effective interest rate for our debt and other income producing investments, including cash, PIK interest, and the accretion of deferred fees.  The individual investment yields are then weighted by the respective cost of the investments (as of the date presented) in calculating the weighted average effective yield of the portfolio.  The dollar-weighted average annualized yield on the Company's investments for a given period will generally be higher than what investors of our common stock would realize in a return over the same period because the dollar-weighted average annualized yield does not reflect the Company's expense or any sales load that may be paid by investors.

(2)

The dollar weighted average yield on total investments takes the same yields as calculated in the footnote above, but weights them to determine the weighted average effective yield as a percentage of the Company's total investments, including non-income producing loans and equity.

Results of Operations

Investment income for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 totaled $63.7 million and $56.7 million, respectively, most of which was interest income from portfolio investments. 

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, totaled $43.9 million and $34.7 million, respectively. For the same respective periods, base management fees totaled $13.2 million and $11.1 million, income incentive fees totaled $3.0 million and $2.5 million, capital gains incentive fees totaled $2.9 million and $(0.4) million, fees and expenses related to our borrowings totaled $18.7 million and $16.0 million (including interest and amortization of deferred financing costs), administrative expenses totaled $1.8 million and $1.8 million, income tax totaled $1.1 million and $0.8 million, and other expenses totaled $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, net investment income was $19.8 million and $22.0 million, or $1.01 and $1.13 per common share based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 19,489,750 and 19,471,500, respectively.

The capital gains incentive fee of $2.9 million and $(0.4) million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was accrued for GAAP purposes due to the increase in realized and unrealized gains over the years.  There can be no assurance that unrealized appreciation or depreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, such fees, as calculated and accrued, would not necessarily be payable under the investment advisory agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of incentive fees in subsequent periods.  The income tax expense accrual of $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was accrued based on estimates of undistributed taxable income, which was generated largely from capital gains.  Excluding these accruals, net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2021 would be $ 23.75 million, or $ 1.22 per share; and for the year ended December 31, 2020, net investment income would have been $ 22.40 million, or $ 1.15 per share.

The Company's investment portfolio had a net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, of $(6.9) million and $8.6 million, respectively.  For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had realized gains (losses) of $23.7 million and $(10.1) million, respectively. 

For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, net increase in net assets resulting from operations totaled $33.6 million and $20.2 million, or $1.72 per common share and $1.04 per common share, based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 19,489,750 and 19,471,500, respectively.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our credit facility provided for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $250.0 and $230.0 million, respectively, on a committed basis.  As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our credit facility had an accordion feature which allowed for potential future expansion of the facility size to $280.0 for both years.

Our fourth quarter regular dividend of an aggregate of $0.28 per share was declared in the third quarter in order to maintain our qualification for taxation as a regulated investment company ("RIC") and to eliminate our liability for corporate-level U.S. federal income tax. Additionally, in the fourth quarter, we declared a $0.06 supplemental dividend to be paid in the first quarter of 2022. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, we declared aggregate distributions of $0.00 and $1.15 per share, respectively ($0 million and $22.4 million, respectively).
