PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are the results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
Investment Income
Investment income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $19.5 million and $50.9 million, respectively, and was attributable to $19.2 million and $46.0 million from first lien secured debt and $0.3 million and $4.9 million from second lien secured debt, subordinated debt and preferred and common equity, respectively. This compares to investment income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, which was $15.2 million and $41.0 million, respectively, and was attributable to $13.9 million and $37.1 million from first lien senior debt and $1.3 million and $3.9 million from second lien secured debt and subordinated debt, respectively. The increase in investment income compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the growth of our portfolio.
Expenses
Expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $7.7 million and $31.6 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $2.2 million and $5.9 million, incentive fee totaled $0.3 million (including $(1.0) million on unrealized gains accrued but not payable) and $0.9 million (including $(0.1) million on realized gains and $(0.6) million on unrealized gains accrued but not payable), debt related interest and expenses totaled $3.9 million and $20.8 million (including $10.9 million in amendment costs on our Credit Facility and debt issuance costs on the 3.83% Series A notes due 2023, or the 2023 Notes), general and administrative expenses totaled $1.1 million and $3.4 million and provision for taxes totaled $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. This compares to expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, which totaled $7.0 million and $18.0 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $1.8 million and $5.1 million, incentive fee totaled $1.4 million (including $0.2 million on realized gains and $0.4 million on unrealized gains accrued but not payable) and $3.4 million (including $0.2 million on realized gains and $0.9 million on unrealized gains accrued but not payable), Credit Facility expenses totaled $2.5 million and $6.3 million, general and administrative expenses totaled $1.2 million and $3.0 million and provision for taxes totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The increase in expenses compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Facility amendment and debt issuance costs on the 2023 Notes in the current period, which were partially offset by a reduction in incentive fees.
Net Investment Income
Net investment income totaled $11.8 million and $19.3 million, or $0.31 and $0.51 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Core net investment income, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes capital gain incentive fee accruals not payable, Credit Facility amendment costs and debt issuance costs on the 2023 Notes, totaled $10.8 million and $29.5 million, or $0.28 and $0.77 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Net investment income totaled $8.2 million and $23.0 million, or $0.25 and $0.78 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the growth of our portfolio. The decrease in net investment income for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Facility amendment and debt issuance costs on the 2023 Notes in the current period.
Net Realized Gains or Losses
Sales and repayments of investments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $87.9 million and $283.6 million, respectively, and net realized losses totaled $1.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Sales and repayments of investments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $172.9 million and $314.8 million, respectively, and net realized gains totaled $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively. 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 and nine months ended June 30, 2018, we reported net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $3.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation on investments of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, our net unrealized appreciation on investments totaled $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on our investments compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital market conditions, the financial performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments that were realized.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, our Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of $(1.9) million and $6.5 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, our Credit Facility had a net change in unrealized appreciation of $1.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, our net unrealized depreciation (appreciation) on the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes totaled $3.5 million and $(3.1) million, respectively. The net change in unrealized depreciation compared to the same periods 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 $5.0 million and $22.5 million, or $0.13 and $0.59 per share, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018. This compares to a net change in net assets resulting from operations of $9.3 million and $25.5 million, or $0.29 and $0.86 per share, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in the net change in net assets from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to changes in portfolio investment valuations during the reporting period. The decrease in net assets from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Facility amendment and debt issuance costs on the 2023 Notes in the current period.
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.
The annualized weighted average cost of debt for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment of 0.375% on the Credit Facility, amendment costs and debt issuance costs, was 7.26% and 3.02%, respectively (excluding amendment and debt issuance costs, amounts are 3.99% and 2.98%, respectively).
As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we had $255.7 million and $253.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, respectively. The Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 4.01% and 3.18%, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we had $149.3 million and $121.2 million of unused borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility, respectively, subject to the regulatory restrictions.
As of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we had cash equivalents of $31.2 million and $18.9 million, at fair value, 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 used cash of $183.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018, and our financing activities provided cash of $196.6 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily from a follow-on equity offering and the issuance of the 2023 Notes.
Our operating activities used cash of $93.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017, and our financing activities provided cash of $113.8 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily from a follow-on equity offering and net borrowings under the Credit Facility.
DISTRIBUTIONS
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, we declared distributions of $0.285 and $0.855 per share, respectively, for total distributions of $11.1 million and $32.5 million, respectively. For the same periods in the prior year, we declared distributions of $0.285 and $0.855 per share, respectively, for total distributions of $7.6 million and $22.9 million, respectively. 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.
