RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Set forth below are the results of operations during the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Investment Income
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, investment income was $36.3 million and $66.3 million, respectively, which was attributable to $26.8 million and $48.6 million from first lien secured debt, $3.7 million and $7.4 million from second lien secured debt, $2.2 million and $1.1 million from subordinated debt and $4.8 million from preferred and common equity, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, investment income was $24.3 million and $52.7 million, respectively, which was attributable to $14.5 million and $34.6 million from first lien secured debt, $6.3 million and $10.8 million from second lien secured debt, $0.4 million and $2.3 million from subordinated debt and $3.1 million and $4.9 million from preferred and common equity, respectively. The increase in investment income was primarily due to the increase in the cost yield of our debt portfolio compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Expenses
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, expenses totaled $19.7 million and $39.3 million, respectively and were comprised of; $10.6 million and $20.3 million of debt related interest and expenses, $4.0 million and $8.6 million of base management fees, $3.5 million and $5.7 million of incentive fees, $1.1 million and $2.2 million of general and administrative expenses and $0.5 million and $2.5 million of provision for excise taxes. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, expenses totaled $12.7 million and $28.5 million, respectively, and were comprised of; $6.5 million and $13.4 million of debt related interest and expenses, $5.0 million and $10.1 million of base management fees, zero, and $2.7 million of incentive fees, $1.0 million and $1.9 million of general and administrative expenses and $0.2 million and $0.4 million of provision for excise taxes, respectively. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the increase in financing costs of our liabilities debt compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Net Investment Income
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, net investment income totaled $16.6 million, and $27.0 million, or $0.26 and $0.41 per share, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, net investment income totaled $11.7 million, or $0.18 per share, and $24.2 million and $0.36 per share. The increase in net investment income was primarily due to an increase in investment income partially offset by an increase in expenses compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Net Realized Gains or Losses
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, net realized gains (losses) totaled $(148.7) million and $(144.7) million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 net realized gains (losses) totaled $136.6 million and $108.9 million, respectively. The change in net realized gains or losses was primarily due to changes in the market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments and Debt
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $135.4 million and $43.8 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, our net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments totaled $(32.1) million and $(75.7) million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the operating performance of the portfolio companies within the portfolio and changes in the capital market conditions of our investments.
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, our credit facility with Truist (the "Credit Facility") had a net change in unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of $1.5 million and $5.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, the Credit Facility had a net change in unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the net unrealized (appreciation) depreciation on the Credit Facility totaled $15.2 million and $9.2 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $4.9 million, and $(67.0) million, or $0.07 per share, and $(1.03) per share, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations totaled $3.2 million and $28.7 million, or $0.05 and $0.43 per share, respectively. The increase or decrease in the net assets resulting from the operations compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in realized loss.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from cash flows from operations, including income earned, proceeds from investment sales and repayments and proceeds of securities offerings and debt financings. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of interest expense, fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives and operations.
As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we had $377.4 million and $385.9 million, in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, respectively and the weighted average interest rate of 7.1% and 5.3%, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we had $122.6 million and $114.1 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.
As of March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $63.1 million and $52.7 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to allows us to effectively operate our business.

As part of the settlement Fox News agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million. Dominion is a portfolio company of PNNT, which holds a minority equity interest in the company. While Dominion may retain some of the settlement proceeds for corporate purposes, the company communicated its intention to distribute a substantial amount portion of the proceeds, net of estimated taxes and expenses, to its equity holders and PNNT's portion is estimated to be approximately $12 million. The timing and amount of any distribution is uncertain and subject to change.
