Despite the continued challenging environment for cannabis operators and investors, we are pleased with the continued strong performance of our portfolio companies and remain encouraged by signs of improved market dynamics for several state markets. We anticipate more attractive debt-related investment opportunities with favorable risk/reward characteristics throughout the remainder of 2024, and we will seek to add investments to the portfolio in a disciplined manner."

Loan Portfolio Acquisition Agreement

On February 20, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to purchase from Chicago Atlantic Loan Portfolio, LLC ("CALP") a portfolio of loans (the "CALP Loan Portfolio") in exchange for newly issued shares of the Company's common stock, subject to certain customary closing conditions (the "Loan Portfolio Acquisition").

Results of Operations
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, total investment income was $3.6 million. This compares to total expenses of $1.9 million, which includes $0.7 million of expenses related to the Loan Portfolio Acquisition, resulting in net investment income of approximately $1.7 million, or $0.28 per share.

The Company recorded a net unrealized gain of $0.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, primarily related to the fair valuation of our debt investments. The Company generated a net increase in net assets from operations of $2.5 million, or $0.40 per share.

Net Asset Value
As of December 31, 2023, NAV per share decreased to $13.77, compared to $14.06 as of September 30, 2023. The decrease in NAV per share was primarily driven by dividend payments. Total net assets as of December 31, 2023 were $85.6 million, compared to $87.4 million as of September 30, 2023.

Dividend
The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share.

The following are the key dates for the dividend:

Record DateMarch 20, 2024
Payment DateMarch 28, 2024

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when the Company declares a cash dividend, stockholders who have not "opted out" of the DRIP in accordance with the terms of the DRIP and the procedures of their broker or other financial intermediary will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock. A stockholder whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary should contact their broker or other financial intermediary as soon as possible in order to determine the time by which the stockholder must take action in order to receive dividends in cash.

Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call and webcast to discuss the Company's fiscal year end 2023 financial results at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, March 28, 2024.
