Thanks, Chris. Saratoga Investment Corp.'s net investment income for the fiscal second quarter ended August 31, 2012, was $1.3 million or $0.34 per share. Net gain on investments was $3.6 million or $0.92 per share, resulting in a net increase in net assets from operations of $4.9 million or $1.26 per share. Net asset value per share was $27.20 as of August 31, 2012; $25.94 as of May 31, 2012; and $25.12 as of February 29, 2012.
Our total investment income for the quarter was $4.2 million, an increase of approximately $625,000 or about 18% compared to the fiscal second quarter of 2012. Our investment income was comprised primarily of $3.5 million of interest income and approximately $500,000 of management fee income associated with the investment in the CLO.
Our total operating expenses were $2.8 million during the quarter. It consisted of $653,000 in interest and credit facility expenses; $505,000 in base management fees; $293,000 in professional fees; $869,000 in incentive management fees; $130,000 in insurance expenses; $250,000 in administrator expenses and $148,000 in director's fees and expenses, general administrative and other expenses.
In the 3 months ended August 31, 2012, total operating expenses compared to the 3 months ended August 31, 2011, were higher by more than $2 million. Total operating expenses in the prior fiscal quarter were offset by the reversal of $1.1 million in accrued capital gain incentive fee expense.
On August 31, 2012, we had $14.9 million of borrowings under our $45 million revolving credit facility with Madison Capital and $6.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.
As of August 31, 2012, the company's Small Business Investment Company subsidiary had $25 million in regulatory capital and no SBIC debentures outstanding. With the $45 million credit facility and up to $150 million in borrowing capacity at the SBIC subsidiary, Saratoga Investment has a $195 million total borrowing capacity.
That concludes my financial review. I will now turn the call back over to Chris.
