Portfolio and Investment Activity
During the third quarter of 2013, we invested $2.2 million with existing portfolio companies and received proceeds from redemption and repayments of portfolio securities totaling $0.8 million.
On October 2, 2013, we funded a $14.0 million participation in a $180.0 million Second Lien Term Loan (the "Term Loan") to a Houston-based, privately owned, independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused in the Gulf Coast region. Proceeds from the Term Loan were used to acquire producing oil and gas properties in South Louisiana. The Term Loan was issued at a 3% discount, earns interest at the greater of 10.25% or LIBOR + 9.0% per annum and matures on March 27, 2019.
We have continued to receive our share of monthly production payments from ATP Oil & Gas Corporation ("ATP"), pursuant to our limited-term overriding royalty interests (the "ORRIs") in ATP's Telemark offshore oil and gas properties, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Court's order and subject to a disgorgement agreement executed in August 2012. As of September 30, 2013, our unrecovered investment in the ORRIs was $30.5 million, and we had received aggregate production payments of $21.7 million subject to the disgorgement agreement, $1.7 million of which was received during the third quarter of 2013. Production payments in the third quarter were lower than in previous quarters in part because production from ATP's Gomez properties ceased on April 30, 2013, and also because production from the Telemark properties was temporarily shut-in for scheduled downstream pipeline maintenance.
On October 17, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court judge approved the sale of ATP's Telemark properties and other properties operated by ATP to a newly formed company called Bennu Oil & Gas, LLC ("Bennu"), which is owned by the lenders to ATP's debtor-in-possession ("DIP") credit facility. Our ORRI continues to burden the Telemark properties, subject to a resolution of the issues in our pending lawsuit against ATP. The sale to Bennu closed on November 1, 2013.
Operating Results
Investment income totaled $6.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, decreasing 6% compared to $6.3 million in the corresponding quarter of 2012, primarily attributable to slightly lower overall average portfolio balances, partially offset by slightly higher weighted average yields.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2013 were $3.3 million, increasing $0.4 million, or 15%, compared to the third quarter of 2012, primarily as a result of higher base management fees on higher total asset balances and higher interest expenses on increased borrowings to support our investment portfolio. The resulting net investment income was $2.6 million, or $0.13 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to $3.4 million, or $0.16 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded $2.5 million, or $0.12 per share, of net unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments, primarily due to a mark-to-market increase totaling $1.9 million in the value of our investments in the publicly-traded senior unsecured notes of Talos Production, LLC and Midstates Petroleum Company. Net increases in the estimated fair values of remaining portfolio investments totaled $0.6 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded net unrealized appreciation on portfolio investments totaling $7.1 million, including increases in the estimated fair value of our investments in Huff Energy Holdings, Inc. of $6.0 million, and GMX Resources, Inc. of $2.2 million, partially offset by decreases in the values of remaining investments totaling $1.1 million.
Overall, we had a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $5.1 million, or $0.25 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2013. After declaring dividends during the period of $0.16 per common share, our net asset value increased from $9.13 per common share as of June 30, 2013 to $9.22 per common share as of September 30, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $42.3 million. The amount outstanding under our Investment Facility at September 30, 2013 was $66.0 million and there was an additional $6.0 million available for borrowing. We repaid $23.0 million of the $66.0 million balance outstanding under the Investment Facility in October 2013. The amount outstanding under our Treasury Facility at September 30, 2013 was $45.0 million and there was no additional amount available for borrowing. We repaid the entire balance outstanding under the Treasury Facility in October 2013.
