Core net investment income, as presented, excludes the impact of capital gains incentive fees and income taxes, the majority of which are excise taxes. The Company believes presenting core net investment income and the related per share amount is a useful supplemental disclosure for analyzing the Company's financial performance. However, core net investment income is a non-U.S GAAP measure and should not be considered a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S GAAP. A reconciliation of net investment income in accordance with U.S GAAP to core net investment income is presented in the table below the financial statements. |
(2) |
Total realized income is the sum of net investment income and net realized gains on investments; both U.S GAAP measures. |

(1) |
The dollar-weighted average annualized effective yield is computed using the effective interest rate for our debt investments and other income producing investments, including cash and PIK interest, as well as the accretion of deferred fees. The individual investment yields are then weighted by the respective costs of the investments (as of the date presented) in calculating the weighted average effective yield of the portfolio. The dollar-weighted average annualized yield on the Company's investments for a given period will generally be higher than what investors in our common stock would realize in a return over the same period because the dollar-weighted average annualized yield does not reflect the Company's expense or any sales load that may be paid by investors. |
(2) |
The dollar weighted average yield on total investments takes the same yields as calculated in the footnote above, but weights them to determine the weighted average effective yield as a percentage of the Company's total investments, including non-income producing loans and equity. |
Results of Operations
Investment income for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $58.9 million and $53.3 million, respectively, most of which was made up of interest income from portfolio investments.
Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, totaled $36.5 million and $30.6 million, respectively. For the same respective periods, base management fees totaled $9.7 million and $8.2 million, income incentive fees totaled $5.8 million and $5.5 million, capital gains incentive fees totaled $0.8 million and $0.1 million, fees and expenses related to our borrowings totaled $15.0 million and $12.3 million (including interest and amortization of deferred financing costs), administrative expenses totaled $1.7 million and $1.4 million, income tax totaled $0.9 million and $0.3 million, and other expenses totaled $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, net investment income was $22.4 million and $22.6 million, or $1.23 and $1.42 per common share based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 18,275,696 and 15,953,571, respectively.
The capital gains incentive fee of $0.8 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, was accrued for U.S. GAAP purposes due to the increase in realized and unrealized gains over the years. There can be no assurance that unrealized appreciation or depreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, such fees, as calculated and accrued, would not necessarily be payable under the investment advisory agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of incentive fees in subsequent periods. The income tax expense accrual of $0.9 million and $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, was accrued based on estimates of undistributed taxable income, which was generated largely from capital gains. Excluding these accruals, net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2019 would be $24.14 million, or $1.32 per share; and for the year ended December 31, 2018, net investment income would have been $ 22.99 million, or $1.44 per share.
The Company's investment portfolio had a net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, of ($15.5) million and ($1.6) million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had realized gains of $19.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, net increase in net assets resulting from operations totaled $26.4 million and $26.2 million, or $1.45 per common share and $1.64 per common share, based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 18,275,696 and 15,953,571, respectively.

Core net investment income, as presented, excludes the impact of capital gains incentive fees and income taxes, the majority of which are excise taxes. The company believes presenting core net investment income and the related per share amount is a useful supplemental disclosure for analyzing its financial performance. However, core net investment income is a non-U.S GAAP measure and should not be considered as a replacement for net investment income and other earnings measures presented in accordance with U.S GAAP. A reconciliation of net investment income in accordance with U.S GAAP to core net investment income is presented in the table below the financial statements.
