Investment Income
For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, total investment income increased to $14.2 million from $13.5 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in dividend income of $2.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $1.5 million.
Expenses
For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, total expenses decreased by $0.2 million to $8.6 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to a decline in interest expense related to a decrease in our average outstanding debt balance. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we redeemed $31.9 million of SBA debentures and reduced the total amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas by $12.0 million.
Net Gain (Loss) on Investments
For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a net loss on investments of $14.6 million, comprised of net unrealized depreciation of $15.4 million, partially offset by net realized gains of $0.8 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, net unrealized depreciation of $15.4 million was primarily due to declines in a couple of portfolio companies.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2024, we had $6.1 million in cash, which includes $2.5 million held by OFSCC-FS, LLC (“OFSCC-FS”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary. Our use of cash held by OFSCC-FS is restricted by contractual conditions of our credit facility with BNP Paribas, including limitations on the amount of cash OFSCC-FS can distribute to us.
As of March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding balance and an unused commitment of $25.0 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility with Banc of California, as well as an unused commitment of $71.5 million under its revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas, both of which are subject to borrowing base requirements and other covenants.
