During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, net assets increased by $110,611,081. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the unrealized appreciation of our investments of $93,032,228, a net realized gain of $14,084,087 principally from the sale of our holdings in Hologic, Inc., and net investment income of $4,893,268. Offsetting the increase was our dividend distributions of $3,049,614 and a federal tax payment of $3,786,678 on behalf of our shareholders. Shares outstanding increased due to the exercise of stock options.
Assuming reinvestment of all dividends and tax credits on retained long-term capital gains, the March 31, 2014 net asset value was 16.9% greater than the March 31, 2013 net asset value of $43.30 per share.
Shares outstanding and the market price of our stock were adjusted on August 16, 2013 (ex-dividend date) to reflect the 4:1 stock split approved by our shareholders on July 15, 2013. All numbers in this press release are presented on a post-split basis.
