PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
“We are pleased with the strong performance of our portfolio this past quarter including our meaningful increase in net asset value,” said Arthur Penn, Chairman and CEO. “We are also pleased with the efficient, low cost CLO financing completed in late January for our PSSL joint venture. This long-term financing is well matched to the underlying asset base and also sets the joint venture up for growth. We believe that the combination of a growing PSSL joint venture, the rotation of equity positions into yield generating debt instruments and a growing, more optimized PFLT balance sheet should position the Company well for increased income over time.”
As of December 31, 2020, our portfolio totaled $1,067.3 million, which consisted of $931.2 million of first lien secured debt (including $126.5 million in PSSL), $25.6 million of second lien secured debt and $110.5 million of preferred and common equity (including $42.9 million in PSSL).

As of December 31, 2020, 97% of the investments held by PSSL were first lien secured debt. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business and results of operations, see our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, including “Item 7.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are the results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Investment Income
Investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $20.7 million, which was attributable to $18.7 million from first lien secured debt and $2.0 million from other investments. This compares to investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 of $24.6 million, which was attributable to $22.4 million from first lien secured debt and $2.2 million from other investments. The decrease in investment income compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR.
Expenses
Expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020 totaled $10.6 million. Base management fee for the same period totaled $2.7 million, incentive fee totaled $1.8 million, debt related interest and expenses totaled $5.3 million, general and administrative expenses totaled $0.7 million, and provision for taxes totaled $0.1 million. This compares to expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2019, which totaled $13.5 million. Base management fee for the same period totaled $2.8 million, incentive fee totaled $2.3 million, debt related interest and expenses totaled $7.3 million, general and administrative expenses totaled $1.0 million, and provision for taxes totaled $0.1 million. The decrease in expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in debt related interest and expenses.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income totaled $10.1 million, or $0.26 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Net investment income totaled $11.1 million, or $0.29 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The change in net investment income compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to lower investment income, partially offset by a reduction in expenses in the current period.
Net Realized Gains or Losses
Sales and repayments of investments for the three months ended December 31, 2020 totaled $109.6 million and net realized losses totaled $2.8 million. Sales and repayments of investments for the three months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $143.7 million and net realized gains totaled $1.0 million. The change in realized gains/losses was primarily due to changes in the market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized.
Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes
For the three months ended December 31, 2020, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation on investments of $22.8 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, we reported net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $3.5 million. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, our net unrealized depreciation on investments totaled $7.1 million and $29.9 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation on our investments compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to unrealized gains in our equity co-investment program, including ITC Rumba, LLC (Cano Health, LLC), as well as the financial performance of certain portfolio companies primarily driven by the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding its continued adverse economic impact. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business and results of operations, see our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, including “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – COVID-19 Developments”.
For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of ($4.0) million and $1.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the net unrealized depreciation on the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes totaled $14.8 million and $18.8 million, respectively. The net change in net unrealized (appreciation) depreciation compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.
Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
Net change in net assets resulting from operations totaled $26.1 million, or $0.67 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This compares to a net change in net assets resulting from operations of $10.0 million, or $0.26 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in net assets from operations compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to unrealized gains in our equity co-investment program, including ITC Rumba, LLC (Cano Health, LLC), as well as the financial performance of certain portfolio companies primarily driven by the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding its continued adverse economic impact. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business and results of operations, see our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, including “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – COVID-19 Developments”.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds of securities offerings, debt capital and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our ability to comply with the covenants of the Credit Facility, see our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, including “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – COVID-19 Developments”.
The annualized weighted average cost of debt for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment on the Credit Facility, amendment costs and debt issuance costs, was 3.3% and 4.5%, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had $263.1 million and $211.4 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.
As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, our wholly owned subsidiary, PennantPark Floating Rate Funding I, LLC, borrowed $256.9 million and $308.6 million under the Credit Facility, respectively. The Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 2.2% and 2.2%, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $28.5 million and $57.5 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities.
Our operating activities provided cash of $55.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, and our financing activities used cash of $83.5 million for the same period. Our operating activities provided cash primarily from our investment activities and our financing activities used cash primarily to pay down our Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes.
Our operating activities used cash of $66.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and our financing activities provided cash of $58.9 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily from draws on our Credit Facility, partially offset by distributions paid to stockholders.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On January 27, 2021, PSSL, through its wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiary, PennantPark CLO II, Ltd., closed a three-year reinvestment period, eleven-year final maturity $300.7 million debt securitization in the form of a collateralized loan obligation consisting of the following classes of notes: Class A-1 Notes, Class A-1 Loans, Class A-2 Notes, Class B-1 Notes, Class B-2 Notes, Class C Notes, Class D Notes, Class E Notes and Subordinated Notes, or the Debt. PSSL will retain all of the Class E Notes and Subordinated Notes through a consolidated subsidiary. The reinvestment period for the term debt securitization ends in January 2024 and the Debt is scheduled to mature in January 2032. The term debt securitization is expected to be approximately 95% funded at close. The proceeds from the Debt were used to repay a portion of the PSSL Credit Facility, as well as repay the $50.0 million senior secured promissory note issued by PSSL. Additionally, in conjunction with the closing of this transaction PSSL’s $325.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Capital One, N.A. was terminated and replaced with a new $125.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility provided by Ally Bank. The Ally Bank credit facility has an interest rate spread above LIBOR (or an alternative risk-free floating interest rate index) of 260 basis points, a LIBOR floor of 25 basis points, a maturity date of January 26, 2026 and a revolving period that ends on January 26, 2024.
Effective January 19, 2021, we reduced the size of the Credit Facility from $520 million to $400 million in order to reduce the cost of the unused facility fees.
DISTRIBUTIONS
During both the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we declared distributions of $0.285 per share for total distributions of $11.1 million. We monitor available net investment income to determine if a return of capital for tax purposes may occur for the fiscal year. To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any given fiscal year, stockholders will be notified of the portion of those distributions deemed to be a tax return of capital. Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders subject to information reporting on Form 1099-DIV after the end of each calendar year and in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.
