Total expenses for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $21.7 million and $19.6 million, respectively. This $2.1 million increase was primarily attributable to an increase in incentive fee expense and higher interest and other debt financing expenses caused by an increase in the weighted average of outstanding borrowings.
