We pay the cash dividend of 15 cents per share during the second quarter. And at the end of July , Reyn declared its quarterly cash dividend of 15 cents per share again, this being for the third quarter.
Our strategy is focused on continued portfolio expansion into income-producing assets to drive investment income and future dividend growth. This approach dealing from a net target
In support of that strategy, we added a new source of capital by securing a $25 million credit facility during the quarter.

Total investment income for the quarter was $1.4 million, up 67% over last year, reflecting increased interest income from portfolio companies and higher dividend income.
The number of interest yielding companies contributing to the current investment income has increased over the last 12 to 18 months due to a focus on making investments in interest yielding instruments in alignment with our investment objectives and strategy.
A reduction in value of RAND's publicly held securities impacted accrued capital gains incentive fees to the external investment advisor, resulting in a credit of $663,000 for the second quarter of 2022, compared with $1.1 million of expense for the second quarter of 2021.
As a result, total expenses were a credit of $96,000 during the second quarter, compared with an expense of $1.6 million in the prior year quarter.
Excluding the capital gains incentive fees, adjusted expenses on non-GAAP financial measure were $567,000 for the quarter, up only 1% from the prior year period.
Reflecting a mad amount were higher professional fees, which was largely offset with the elimination of interest expense payments for the SBA obligations that were paid off and full during December 2021. Wrong parameters were paid Blackiras again. A????IC dawn,???IC lifters, masih rum model, which is the standard months for college revenue or college and residence payouts. So cash rate that was paid by the one.
Net investment income was $1.4 million or 55 cents per share for the second quarter compared with a loss in the prior year quarter.
On an adjusted basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, net investment income was $0.29 per share for the second quarter of 2022, up almost three times over the $0.10 per share in the last year's quarter.
By 10, provides a waterfall graph to the change in that asset value for the quarter. At June 30th, 2022, net assets were 57.7 million, down slightly since the first quarter.
The change was primarily attributable to the change in ACV auctions market value and stock sales partially offset by the follow-on debt investment during the quarter.
As a result, the net asset value per share was $22.34 at June 30th, 2022, compared with $23.23 at March 31st, 2022.
Slide 11 highlights our strong balance sheet.
Camson-Casquiblin, to quarter end, we're 1.2 million, up 43% since 2021 year end.
We still held more than $6 million of liquid, BBC, and ACV auction stock at the end of the second quarter.
These investments can provide near-term funding capital for investments, as we demonstrated in the past quarter.
Also, as Dan highlighted, on June 27, 2022, we closed on a $25 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility with M&T Bank.
The new facility provides for a five-year term through 2027 and an interest rate calculated using SOFR plus 3.5%. The facility provides for a five-year term through 2027 The facility provides for a five-year term through 2027 The facility provides for a five-year term through 2027 The facility provides for a five-year term through 2027
There were no borrowings under the facility at quarter end.
And at June 30th, 2022, using the BioInv based formula, we had approximately 21 million available under this credit facility.
We did not repurchase any shares during the quarter.
And we paid $387,000 in dividends during the second quarter.
The board maintains the per share dividend level for the third quarter of 2022 at 15 cents per share, which will be paid next September .
With that, I turn the discussion back to Dan.
Thanks, Margaret. As we go forward, we will continue to execute our strategy, which is to position our portfolio to grow investment income and distribute our earnings to shareholders.
Thank you for joining us today and your continued interest in range capital. Thank you.
We do look forward to updating all of you on our third quarter 2022 results, which will be reported in November .
We hope you have a great day.
Thank you. I just conclude today's teleconference and web casting. We just connect your line out this time and have a wonderful day. We thank you for your participation today.
