Portfolio and Investment Activity

During the second quarter of 2014, we invested $0.4 million with existing portfolio companies and received proceeds from sales, redemptions and repayments of portfolio securities totaling $18.9 million.

On July 11, 2014, subsequent to the end of the quarter, Crossroads Energy Development, LLC ("Crossroads") fully repaid its Senior Secured Term Loan in the amount of $9.0 million and repurchased our overriding royalty interest and warrants in Crossroads for a combined $1.4 million, resulting in a realized capital gain of approximately $1.0 million, or $0.05 per common share. This investment was outstanding for 13 months and generated an internal rate of return of 31.0% and a return on investment of 1.3x.

In June 2014, we sold $3.0 million face amount of our Talos Production, LLC ("Talos") 9.75% Senior Unsecured Notes (the "Talos Notes") at an average price of 105.8, resulting in a realized capital gain of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per common share.

In April 2014, we sold our $13.0 million face amount of Midstates Petroleum Company ("Midstates") 10.75% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Midstates Notes") at an average price of 108.1, resulting in a realized capital gain of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per common share. Our investment in the Midstates Notes, which originated in October 2012, generated an internal rate of return of 14.6% with a return on investment of 1.2x.

During the second quarter of 2014, we entered into negotiations with a third party regarding the sale of the assets of Spirit Resources, LLC ("Spirit"), and we lowered our estimated fair value of our investments in Spirit by $3.2 million, or $0.16 per share, during the second quarter to reflect the status of such negotiations, representing a 30% reduction in the estimated fair value of such investments from March 31, 2014.

Operating Results

Investment income totaled $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, decreasing 43% compared to $9.6 million in the corresponding quarter of 2013. The decrease in 2014 was primarily attributable to "make whole" interest income earned in 2013 totaling $2.5 million, or $0.12 per share, from the repayments of loans from Castex Energy Development Fund, LLC ("CDF") and Resaca Exploitation, Inc. ("Resaca"), and as a result of a decrease in the size of our investment portfolio due to repayments and settlements in excess of new investments between the two periods. Our portfolio balance, on a cost basis, decreased from $212.6 million to $195.0 million during the second quarter of 2014, primarily as a result of net sales, redemptions and settlements in excess of new portfolio investments. In comparison, the average balance of our portfolio during the second quarter of 2013 was $235.6 million. The weighted average yield on portfolio investments increased from 9.9% at June 30, 2013 to 10.6% at June 30, 2014.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $4.0 million, decreasing $0.1 million, or 2%, compared to the second quarter of 2013. Lower interest costs and lower management and incentive fees on the smaller portfolio balance were largely offset by higher legal and professional fees and other general and administrative expenses. Professional fees included $0.2 million, or $0.01 per share, of third party costs associated with our process of evaluating strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value, and other general and administrative expenses included $0.6 million, or $0.03 per share, of costs incurred in connection with our shelf registration statement which went effective last year and expired during the second quarter of 2014.

The resulting net investment income was $1.5 million, or $0.07 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $5.5 million, or $0.26 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

We recorded net realized capital gains of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per common share, during the second quarter of 2014, including gains totaling $0.9 million on the sale of our Midstates Notes and the partial sale of our Talos Notes, partially offset by a $0.4 million loss resulting from adjustments to liabilities recorded to satisfy obligations related to certain previously disposed investments. In the second quarter of 2013, we recorded net realized capital gains of $1.1 million resulting from a $1.8 million gain from the sale of our Class B LP units of CDF, partially offset by a $0.2 million loss on the disposition of our Resaca warrants and a $0.5 million loss resulting from adjustments to liabilities recorded to satisfy obligations related to certain previously disposed investments.

During the second quarter of 2014, we recorded $2.0 million, or $0.10 per share, of net unrealized depreciation on portfolio investments, primarily due to decreases in the estimated fair value of our investments in Spirit of $3.2 million, reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains on the Midstates Notes, due to realizations, of $0.7 million, partially offset by increases in the estimated fair value of our investments in OCI Holdings, LLC Subordinated Notes and Preferred Units of $0.8 million, Castex 2005, LP Preferred Units of $0.5 million and net increases in the value of remaining investments of $0.6 million. During the corresponding period in 2013, we recorded $3.0 million, or $0.15 per share, of net unrealized depreciation on investments, primarily due to decreases in the estimated fair value of our investments in Spirit preferred units of $1.6 million, Midstates Notes of $1.4 million, Talos Notes of $0.9 million and net increases in remaining investments of $0.9 million.

Overall, we had a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $32,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. After declaring dividends during the period of $0.16 per common share, our net asset value decreased from $8.73 per common share as of March 31, 2014 to $8.57 per common share as of June 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $35.3 million. The amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2014 was $42.0 million, and an additional $30.0 million was available for borrowing. We repaid the entire balance outstanding under the Investment Facility during July 2014. At June 30, 2014, the amount outstanding under our Treasury Facility was $45.0 million, and there was no additional amount available for borrowing.
