(1) | The dollar-weighted average annualized effective yield is computed using the effective interest rates for our debt investments and other income producing investments, including cash and PIK interest as well as the accretion of deferred fees. The individual investment yields are then weighted by the respective fair values of the investments (as of the date presented) in calculating the weighted average effective yield of the portfolio. The dollar-weighted average annualized yield on the Company's investments for a given period will generally be higher than what investors in our common stock would realize in a return over the same period because the dollar-weighted average annualized yield does not reflect the Company's expenses or any sales load that may be paid by investors. Infinite Care, LLC was excluded from the calculation as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 because it was on non-accrual status on that date. | |
(2) | The dollar-weighted average yield on total investments takes the same yields but weights them to determine the weighted average effective yield as a percentage of the Company's total investments. The dollar-weighted average annualized yield on the Company's investments for a given period will generally be higher than what investors in our common stock would realize in a return over the same period because the dollar-weighted average annualized yield does not reflect the Company's expenses or any sales load that may be paid by investors. | |
FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR TO DATE 2018 OPERATING RESULTS
For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded net income of $1.5 million, which is relatively flat compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Per share earnings were $0.24 and $0.23 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company's net investment income and core net investment income decreased by $0.3 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Net investment income and core net investment income was $1.6 million, or $0.25 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to net investment income and core net investment income of $1.9 million or $0.30 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Net investment income decreased in the quarter ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the Company realizing higher expenses of $0.4 million, offset by an increase of $0.1 million tax benefit during the three months ended December 31, 2018.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded net income of $5.1 million, an increase of $3.5 million from $1.6 million of net income in the year ended December 31, 2017. The $3.5 million improvement was primarily attributable to a $7.6 million positive change in net realized losses offset by a $1.9 million decrease in change in unrealized appreciation. Per share earnings were $0.79 and $0.25 per share for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company's net investment income decreased by $2.2 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.

Net investment income decreased in the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily as a result of the Company recording $2.5 million of lower investment income resulting from a smaller portfolio, offset by lower expenses of $0.1 million and recording a $0.1 million tax benefit for the year ended December 30, 2018.
As of December 31, 2018, our total portfolio investments at fair value and total assets were $94.9 million and $125.3 million, respectively, compared to $115.6 million and $128.2 million at December 31, 2017. Net asset value per share was $12.30 at December 31, 2018, compared to $12.66 at December 31, 2017.

The investment activity for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was as follows:

On November 9, 2018, the Company received a full repayment, at par, of its senior secured debt investments in DirectMed Parts & Service, LLC. The original par values of the debt investment was $5.6 million. In addition, the Company terminated the $1.0 million revolving line of credit commitment.

On December 3, 2018, the Company received a full repayment, at par, of its senior secured debt investments in Yucatan Foods, L.P. The original par value of the debt investments were $10.8 million and the Company received a $0.3 prepayment fee. The Company generated an IRR* of 16.1% on its investment.
* IRR is the rate of return that makes the net present value of all cash flows into or from the investment equal to zero, and is calculated based on the amount of each cash flow received or invested by the Company and the day it was received or invested.
"We reported fourth quarter net investment income of $0.25 per share, despite continued disappointing new investment activity," said Joseph A. Jolson, Chairman and CEO. "We believe the situation is temporary and expect to earn our recently reduced cash dividend in the second half of 2019, assuming we close on currently mandated deals in our pipeline. Meanwhile, in accordance with the Board authorization that expires in June 2019, we continue to repurchase our shares at recent stock prices, which is immediately accretive to our book value per share and our core earnings per share, and is another means for us to deploy our capital at attractive returns on equity for shareholders," continued Mr. Jolson.
"Credit quality has improved to a weighted average risk rating of 2.24, even though the investment portfolio has shrunk from payoffs of well performing credits. The operating performance of our only non-accruing 5-rated loan appears to have stabilized and we are guardedly optimistic about its prospects for 2019. Net asset value decreased slightly at December 31, 2018 to $12.30 per share," concluded Mr. Jolson.
CREDIT QUALITY
The Company employs various risk management and monitoring tools to categorize and assess its investments. No less frequently than quarterly, the Company applies an investment risk rating system which uses a five-level numeric scale. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:
- Investment Rating 1 is used for investments that are performing above expectations, and whose risks remain favorable compared to the expected risk at the time of the original investment.
- Investment Rating 2 is used for investments that are performing within expectations and whose risks remain neutral compared to the expected risk at the time of the original investment. All new loans are initially rated 2.
- Investment Rating 3 is used for investments that are performing below expectations and that require closer monitoring, but where no loss of return or principal is expected. Portfolio companies with a rating of 3 may be out of compliance with financial covenants.
- Investment Rating 4 is used for investments that are performing substantially below expectations and whose risks have increased substantially since the original investment. These investments are often in workout. Investments with a rating of 4 are those for which there is an increased possibility of some loss of return but no loss of principal is expected.
- Investment Rating 5 is used for investments that are performing substantially below expectations and whose risks have increased substantially since the original investment. These investments are almost always in workout. Investments with a rating of 5 are those for which some loss of return and principal is expected.
As of December 31, 2018, the weighted average risk rating of the debt investments in the Company's portfolio decreased slightly to 2.24 from 2.35 in the previous quarter. Also, as of December 31, 2018, five of the Company’s 17 debt investments were rated 1, seven investments were rated 2, three investments were rated 3, one investment was rated 4, and one investment was rated 5. As of December 31, 2018, one investment was on non-accrual status.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $28.8 million of cash and restricted cash and $7.3 million of undrawn capacity on its $55.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The credit facility is secured by all of the Company’s assets and has an accordion feature that allows the size of the facility to increase up to $85.0 million.

The purpose of core net investment income is to present net investment income without the effect of certain non-recurring charges, without the effect of incentive fees related to items not included in net investment income, and without the effect of any excise taxes related to realized capital gains and losses. During the year ended December 31, 2017, this resulted in excluding the non-recurring charges related to the Company's redemption of its 2020 Notes. During this period, in conjunction with the redemption of its 2020 Notes, the Company expensed the unamortized deferred finance costs related to the 2020 Notes that were redeemed and recorded this as a loss on extinguishment of debt. Additionally, the Company was required to give the note holders a 30-day notice period before redeeming the 2020 Notes. As such, the Company had twice the amount of debt on its balance sheet for 30 days than it otherwise would have had and incurred additional interest expense as a result. The cost of these two items has been added to net investment income in the calculation of core net investment income.
