As of December 31, 2019, the weighted average yields for our first and second lien debt investments on an amortized cost basis were 7.91% and 10.44%, respectively, with a total weighted average yield of 8.22%. Weighted average yields include the effect of accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums and are based on interest rates as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, on a fair value basis, approximately 0.3% of our debt investments bear interest at a fixed rate and approximately 99.7% of our debt investments bear interest at a floating rate, which primarily are subject to interest rate floors.
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”:
Internal Risk Ratings Definitions
Rating
  
Definition
1
  
Performing—Low Risk: Borrower is operating more than 10% ahead of the base case.
 
 
2
  
Performing—Stable Risk: Borrower is operating within 10% of the base case (above or below). This is the initial rating assigned to all new borrowers.
 
 
3
  
Performing—Management Notice: Borrower is operating more than 10% below the base case. A financial covenant default may have occurred, but there is a low risk of payment default.
 
 
4
  
Watch List: Borrower is operating more than 20% below the base case and there is a high risk of covenant default, or it may have already occurred. Payments are current although subject to greater uncertainty, and there is moderate to high risk of payment default.
 
 
5
  
Watch List—Possible Loss: Borrower is operating more than 30% below the base case. At the current level of operations and financial condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Payment default is very likely or may have occurred. Loss of principal is possible.
 
 
6
  
Watch List—Probable Loss: Borrower is operating more than 40% below the base case, and at the current level of operations and financial condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Payment default is very likely or may have already occurred. Additionally, the prospects for improvement in the borrower’s situation are sufficiently negative that impairment of some or all principal is probable.
Our Investment Adviser’s risk rating model is based on evaluating portfolio company performance in comparison to the base case when considering certain credit metrics including, but not limited to, adjusted EBITDA and net senior leverage as well as specific events including, but not limited to, default and impairment.
Our Investment Adviser monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio. In connection with our quarterly valuation process, our Investment Adviser reviews our investment ratings on a regular basis. The following table summarizes the Internal Risk Ratings of our debt portfolio as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019:

Consolidated Results of Operations
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Total investment income for the three month periods ended December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 was $53,465 and $55,779, respectively. This $2,314 net decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income from our debt portfolio from prepayments of higher yielding investments, non-accruals and a decrease in LIBOR, partially offset by an increase in income recognized from the acceleration of original issue discount from prepayments and an increase in total income from Credit Fund during the three month period ended December 31, 2019.

Total expenses for the three month periods ended December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 were $28,088 and $29,024, respectively. This $936 net decrease during the three month period ended December 31, 2019 was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense as a result of a decrease in LIBOR and a decrease in incentive and management fees, partially offset by an increase in credit facility fees and professional fees.

During the three month period ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a net realized gain and change in unrealized depreciation of $1,459. This was primarily driven by changes in various inputs utilized under our valuation methodology, including, but not limited to, enterprise value multiples, market spreads, leverage multiples and borrower ratings, and the impact of exits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $36,751, notes payable (before debt issuance costs) of $564,200, including senior unsecured notes of $115,000, and secured borrowings outstanding of $616,543. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $346,457 of remaining unfunded commitments and $268,423 available for additional borrowings under its revolving credit facilities, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.

Dividend

On February 24, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.37, which is payable on April 17, 2020 to stockholders of record on March 31, 2020.

Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday, February 26, 2020 to discuss these quarterly financial results. The call and webcast will be available on the TCG BDC website at tcgbdc.com.
