RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Investment Income
Net investment income totaled $3.0 million, or $0.30 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Gross investment income was $4.3 million for the quarter, with $2.6 million, or 61%, generated from the Loan Portfolio and $1.7 million, or 39%, generated from the CLO Portfolio. Net expenses totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, with interest and other debt related costs of $0.6 million, management fees of $0.5 million and $0.3 million of other operating expenses, net of the expense waiver.
Net Realized and Unrealized Gain / (Loss) From Investments
Net realized and unrealized gain on investments for the three months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $7.3 million and was comprised of $(0.4) million of net realized losses on sales of investments and $7.7 million of net unrealized appreciation on the Investment Portfolio. The $7.7 million of net unrealized appreciation on the Investment Portfolio was driven by $3.1 million of net unrealized appreciation in the Loan Portfolio and $4.6 million of net unrealized appreciation in the CLO Portfolio. The increase in fair value of the CLO Portfolio was a result of a number of factors, including a rise in loan prices since March 31, 2016, increased trading in CLO equity and an enhancement of the LIBOR floor benefit as a downward shift in the forward LIBOR curve improved and lengthened the expected benefit of the LIBOR floors. The primary driver for the increase in fair value of the Loan Portfolio was higher prices in the broadly syndicated U.S. loan market.

Distributions to Stockholders per Share | Record Date | Ex-Dividend Date | Payment Date | ||||||
August 2016 | $0.097 | August 23, 2016 | August 19, 2016 | September 2, 2016 | |||||
September 2016 | $0.097 | September 22, 2016 | September 20, 2016 | October 4, 2016 | |||||

Since its January 2014 IPO, the Company has declared a total of $31.6 million in cash distributions to stockholders, or $3.16 per share.
ACSF’s Board of Directors considers estimated taxable income, GAAP income and economic performance when determining distributions to stockholders. Actual taxable income may differ from GAAP income due to temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments. The Company currently expects distributions to stockholders for 2016 to be from ordinary taxable income. The specific tax characteristics will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. For additional detail, please visit the Company’s website at www.ACSF.com.
