This is the first quarter since our initial public offering that adjusted net investment income per share exceeded our dividend of $0.34 per share. We have continued to grow our investment portfolio, as we leveraged Monroe Capital’s robust national loan origination platform and began to access the leverage available to our Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) subsidiary. Our principal amount of invested assets increased to $239.7 million as of June 30, 2014, an increase of $13.5 million since March 31, 2014. As well, we have continued to optimize the portfolio during the second quarter, with the weighted average annualized effective yield on the portfolio increasing to 11.1% at June 30, 2014, from 10.8% at March 31, 2014. We expect to continue to focus on optimizing and growing the portfolio throughout the remainder of 2014 as we remain focused on creating long-term value for our shareholders.”
