Received $19.8 million in repayments and net proceeds from portfolio companies resulting in net originations of $37.1 million. </li><li><strong>Financing Activity: </strong>Sold 471,498 shares of our common stock at a weighted-average price of $9.69 per share through our at-the-market program for gross proceeds of $4.6 million.&#160; </li><li><strong>Recurring Distributions and Dividends:</strong> For each of October, November, and December 2017, paid monthly distributions to common stockholders of $0.07 per share. For October 2017, we paid a monthly dividend to holders of the Company&#8217;s 6.00% Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock of $0.141667 per share (which included the pro-rated period from and including the issuance date of September 27, 2017 through the full month of October). For each of November and December 2017, we paid a monthly dividend to holders of the Company&#8217;s 6.00% Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock of $0.125 per share.</li></ul>  <p><strong>First Fiscal Quarter 2018 Results</strong>:</p>  <p>Interest income increased by $0.4 million, or 4.4%, due to an increase in the average investment portfolio balance and an increase in the weighted average yield quarter over quarter. &#160;This increase was offset by a decrease in other income of $0.4 million, or 69.1%, while total investment income was largely unchanged from the prior quarter. &#160;Total expenses decreased 1.2% quarter over quarter as the decrease in dividend expenses associated with the recently issued 6.0% Series 2024 Term Preferred Stock more than offset the increase in interest expense on our line of credit.&#160;&#160;&#160; </p>  <p>Net Investment Income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $5.6 million, or $0.21 per share, an increase of 1.7% as compared to the prior quarter. &#160;&#160;</p>  <p>The Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations for the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 was $7.2 million, or $0.27 per share, compared to $5.4 million, or $0.21 per share, respectively. The quarter over quarter increase was driven primarily by the $1.3 million realized loss recognized in the prior quarter in connection with the voluntary redemption of our Series 2021 Term Preferred Stock and a small increase in the net portfolio appreciation in the December 31, 2017 quarter.</p>  <p align="justify"><strong>Subsequent Events:&#160;

These factors combined to lift our net interest margin by 7.1%, compared to the prior quarter, and 24.2%, compared to the December 31, 2016 quarter, and should position us well to continue to improve on our results as the balance of our FY2018 unfolds.&#8221;
