As part of the monitoring process, our Investment Adviser has developed risk policies pursuant to which it regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our debt investments and rates each of them based on the following categories, which we refer to as “Internal Risk Ratings”. Key drivers of internal risk ratings include financial metrics, financial covenants, liquidity and enterprise value coverage.
Internal Risk Ratings Definitions
| Rating | Definition | |||||||
| 1 | Borrower is operating above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable. | |||||||
| 2 | Borrower is operating generally as expected or at an acceptable level of performance. The level of risk to our initial cost bases is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination. This is the initial risk rating assigned to all new borrowers. | |||||||
| 3 | Borrower is operating below expectations and level of risk to our cost basis has increased since the time of origination. The borrower may be out of compliance with debt covenants. Payments are generally current although there may be higher risk of payment default. | |||||||
| 4 | Borrower is operating materially below expectations and the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due, but generally not by more than 120 days. It is anticipated that we may not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a loss of our initial cost basis upon exit. | |||||||
| 5 | Borrower is operating substantially below expectations and the loan’s risk has increased substantially since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. It is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit. | |||||||

Our Investment Adviser monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio. Our Investment Adviser reviews our investment ratings in connection with our quarterly valuation process. The following table summarizes the Internal Risk Ratings of our debt portfolio as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Consolidated Results of Operations
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Total investment income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $47,509 and $43,972, respectively. This $3,537 net increase was primarily due to income received from the exit of the investment in SolAero, which had been a non-accrual position.
Total expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $21,990 and $21,523, respectively. This $467 net increase during the three month period ended March 31, 2022 was mainly due to an increase in incentive fees in the three month period ended March 31, 2022 as a result of higher investment income during the period, partially offset by lower management fees and interest expense.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a net realized and unrealized gain of $5,164. This was driven primarily by higher valuations on watchlist names and an increase in the valuation of the investment in the Credit Fund, partially offset by the negative impact of widening market yields and, to a lesser extent, inflation driven earnings impacts at certain borrowers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $69,512, notes payable and senior unsecured notes (before debt issuance costs) of $449,200 and $190,000, respectively, and secured borrowings outstanding of $359,679. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $328,321 of remaining unfunded commitments and $328,518 available for additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.
Dividends
On May 2, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a base quarterly common dividend of $0.32 plus a supplemental common dividend of $0.08, which are payable on July 15, 2022 to common stockholders of record on June 30, 2022.
On March 25, 2022, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend on the Preferred Stock for the period from January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022 in the amount of $0.438 per Preferred Share to the holder of record on March 31, 2022.

The Company will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 4, 2022 to discuss these quarterly financial results. The call and webcast will be available on the CSL website at carlylesecuredlending.com.

In addition, on August 6, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved a one-third (0.50%) reduction in the 1.50% annual base management fee rate charged by the Investment Adviser on assets financed using leverage in excess of 1.0x debt to equity. Effective July 1, 2018, the reduced annual fee of 1.00% applies to the average value of the Company's gross assets as of the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters that exceeds the product of (i) 200% and (ii) the average value of the Company's net asset value at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. (2) Effective October 1, 2017, the Investment Adviser agreed to charge 17.5% instead of 20% with respect to the entire calculation of the incentive fee. Note: There can be no assurance that we will continue to earn income at this rate and our income may decline. If our income declines, we may reduce the dividend we pay and the yield you earn may decline. Refer to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s Form 10-Q for additional details.

Risk Rating Distribution Rating Definition 1 Borrower is operating above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable. 2 Borrower is operating generally as expected or at an acceptable level of performance. The level of risk to our initial cost bases is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination. This is the initial risk rating assigned to all new borrowers. 3 Borrower is operating below expectations and level of risk to our cost basis has increased since the time of origination. The borrower may be out of compliance with debt covenants. Payments are generally current although there may be higher risk of payment default. 4 Borrower is operating materially below expectations and the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due, but generally not by more than 120 days. It is anticipated that we may not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a loss of our initial cost basis upon exit. 5 Borrower is operating substantially below expectations and the loan’s risk has increased substantially since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. It is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit.
