The weighted-average performing income yield of our investment portfolio decreased from 14.6% during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 to 14.1% during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 , primarily due to a net decline in non-recurring income.

Expenses For the quarter ended December 31, 2023 , total expenses decreased by $0.5 million as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023 . The decrease in total expenses was primarily due to a decrease in base management and incentives fees of $0.3 million and a decrease in interest expense of $0.2 million related to lower average outstanding debt balances. Net Gain (Loss) on Investments For the quarter ended December 31, 2023 , net loss on investments of $8.8 million was primarily due to unrealized depreciation on a few issuer-specific portfolio companies and broader declines on our structured finance securities. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of December 31, 2023 , we had $45.3 million of cash, which included $4.0 million held in OFSCC-FS, LLC (“OFSCC-FS”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary.
