Total investment income for the second quarter of 2010 amounted to approximately $8.7 million, up approximately 77.4% from the second quarter of 2009 due largely to a higher return on our investment portfolio of approximately $7.8 million and distribution income from our securitization vehicle investments of approximately $950,000.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we recorded net unrealized appreciation of approximately $2.1 million, comprised of $9.5 million in gross unrealized appreciation, $7.0 million in gross unrealized depreciation and approximately $0.4 million relating to the reversal of prior period net unrealized appreciation upon the realization events associated with certain investments.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we had net realized gains on investments of approximately $1.2 million due largely to gains associated with the repayment of our debt investment held in Stratus Technologies, Inc. of approximately $0.8 million and the repayment of our debt investment in Punch Software, LLC of approximately $0.4 million.

Our Board of Directors has declared a distribution of $0.22 per share for the third quarter of 2010.
