    Third Fiscal Quarter 2025 Highlights:

    • Portfolio Activity: Invested $58.6 million in two new portfolio companies and $14.4 million in existing portfolio companies.

    • Portfolio Mix: Secured first lien assets continue to be over 70% of our debt investments, at cost.

    • Credit Facility: Increased the total commitment to $320.0 million and extended the revolving period end date to October 2027 and the final maturity to October 2029.

    Third Fiscal Quarter 2025 Results:

    Total investment income increased by $88 thousand, or 0.4%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior quarter ended March 31, 2025, driven primarily by a $0.6 million increase in other income, quarter over quarter, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in interest income. The increase in other income was driven by higher prepayment fees and dividend income compared to the prior quarter. Interest income decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.3%, quarter over quarter. The primary reason for the decrease was a decrease in the weighted average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio to $647.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $682.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    Total expenses were unchanged quarter over quarter. A decrease of $0.6 million in interest expense quarter over quarter was offset by a $0.5 million increase in the net base management and net incentive fees driven primarily by a reduction in the incentive fee credit quarter over quarter partially offset by higher investment banking fee credits to the base management fee from increased deal originations.

    Net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $11.3 million, or $0.50 per share.

    The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $7.4 million, or $0.33 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $8.8 million, or $0.39 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The current quarter increase in net assets resulting from operations was primarily driven by $11.3 million of net investment income, partially offset by $3.6 million of net realized loss recognized during the quarter.

  • ClearSight Highlights the Only Proven Way to Prevent Cataracts with Custom Lens Replacement

    ClearSight Highlights the Only Proven Way to Prevent Cataracts with Custom Lens Replacement

    ClearSight is drawing attention to an important development in vision correction and cataract prevention through its newly published article, How to Prevent Cataracts: One Permanent Solution is CLR. In an age where cataracts remain one of the most common age-related vision problems—affecting over 50% of people by age 65 and nearly 70% by age 75—ClearSight is educating both patients and the medical community on a solution that goes beyond managing symptoms. The article outlines why Custom Lens Replacement (CLR), also known as Refractive Lens Exchange, is the only scientifically proven way to permanently prevent cataracts while simultaneously correcting vision.

    Cataracts form when proteins in the natural lens of the eye begin to break down and clump together, resulting in cloudy or blurred vision. Traditional approaches have focused on mitigating symptoms through lifestyle choices, such as wearing UV-blocking sunglasses, maintaining a healthy diet, and taking antioxidant supplements. While these steps may contribute to general eye health and delay progression slightly, peer-reviewed studies and major clinical trials—including the AREDS studies—have consistently concluded that no non-surgical intervention can stop cataracts from developing. Once cataracts begin to form, the only definitive treatment is surgical removal and replacement of the natural lens with an artificial one.

    ClearSight challenges this traditional reactive approach by offering Custom Lens Replacement as a primary prevention method. In CLR, the eye’s natural lens is replaced proactively—before any cataract has formed—with an advanced intraocular lens (IOL) that is immune to the clouding process. Dr. Luke Rebenitsch, a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained refractive surgeon at ClearSight, explains: “When we replace the natural lens with an advanced intraocular lens, we’re not just correcting vision—we’re eliminating the tissue where cataracts develop. It’s prevention through lens replacement.”

    The article emphasizes that Custom Lens Replacement provides a two-fold benefit: it corrects common age-related vision issues such as presbyopia, nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, and it ensures that the patient will never need cataract surgery in the future. This preventive lens exchange gives patients better vision now and peace of mind for the future, removing the uncertainty and eventual need for surgery later in life. In fact, many patients report visual clarity that exceeds what they experienced with their natural lenses in their younger years.

    Unlike LASIK or other corneal procedures, CLR treats the lens itself—the part of the eye that naturally ages and leads to cataract formation. The procedure is nearly identical to cataract surgery in terms of technique and safety, but it is performed earlier, before the lens becomes clouded. This early intervention allows patients to avoid the gradual decline in vision associated with cataracts and eliminates the period of diminished quality of life that typically precedes cataract surgery. According to published clinical outcomes, CLR has a success rate of 90–99% patient satisfaction, aligning with the most trusted standards in ophthalmic surgery.

    For many patients, especially those over 45 experiencing presbyopia or those with high prescriptions that make them ineligible for LASIK, CLR offers a compelling alternative. The article points out that individuals with a family history of cataracts or those seeking to “future-proof” their vision are often ideal candidates. These patients benefit not only from better current vision but also from knowing they are no longer at risk for one of the most common causes of vision loss.

    By framing Custom Lens Replacement as a proactive solution rather than a reactive treatment, ClearSight is redefining how cataract risk is managed in modern ophthalmology. Patients are no longer limited to waiting for vision to deteriorate before seeking surgical correction. Instead, they are offered a permanent, one-time solution that delivers immediate improvements and long-term protection. The approach represents a shift in how age-related vision decline is handled, providing new hope for patients who want to maintain visual clarity well into their later years.

    ClearSight encourages anyone experiencing age-related vision changes—or those concerned about developing cataracts—to consider scheduling a consultation. With access to advanced diagnostic tools, a personalized lens selection process, and a team of experts committed to long-term outcomes, the clinic offers a path toward lasting vision freedom. For those seeking to avoid the gradual vision loss that comes with aging and eliminate the possibility of cataract surgery altogether, Custom Lens Replacement is the one solution that works.

    Reporters looking to cover new advances in cataract prevention, refractive surgery, or age-related vision loss are encouraged to reach out for quotes, additional data, or interviews with Dr. Rebenitsch. The release of How to Prevent Cataracts: One Permanent Solution is CLR marks a timely opportunity to highlight a major shift in how ophthalmology is addressing one of the world’s most common vision problems. ClearSight remains committed to educating the public and providing solutions that align with both scientific evidence and patient-centered care.

  • Gullco Reinforces Commitment to Military Welding Automation with Industry-Leading Solutions and Integrated Services

    Gullco Reinforces Commitment to Military Welding Automation with Industry-Leading Solutions and Integrated Services

    Gullco, a globally recognized leader in welding automation, today reaffirmed its dedication to supporting the military and defense industries through its comprehensive range of precision welding and fabrication solutions. With over seventy years of experience serving high-profile military projects, Gullco continues to provide fully customized welding automation systems tailored to the demanding specifications of defense applications. The company’s integrated approach—including in-house engineering, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and responsive field service—enables seamless delivery of complex projects while maintaining rigorous security and confidentiality standards crucial to military operations.

    Military manufacturing processes require unparalleled levels of accuracy and reliability, especially when producing equipment intended for extreme environments such as armored vehicles, aircraft, and naval vessels. Gullco’s automation systems are designed explicitly to meet these exacting conditions, offering consistent weld quality that ensures the structural integrity of military machinery and weapons systems. These welding automation solutions support a wide array of military fabrication needs, from assembling battle-worthy tanks and support vehicles to constructing sophisticated aircraft and naval warships.

    One of the critical advantages of Gullco’s welding automation technology lies in its ability to enhance operational safety. Traditional manual welding exposes operators to hazardous conditions, including intense heat, toxic fumes, and prolonged physical strain. By deploying automated systems, Gullco significantly reduces human exposure to these risks, safeguarding personnel while simultaneously accelerating fabrication timelines and minimizing human error. This is particularly important in military contexts where reliability and durability can directly impact mission success and personnel safety.

    Among the company’s notable offerings is a suite of portable beveling machines engineered for field and shop use alike. These machines prepare weld edges with precision, ensuring cleaner, more consistent joints that increase weld strength and reduce consumable waste. Built to endure harsh operational environments, Gullco’s portable beveling machines contribute to increased efficiency in welding preparation and help streamline production workflows in military fabrication shops.

    Beyond beveling equipment, Gullco’s portfolio extends to mechanized welding carriages, ceramic weld backing tapes, and electrode stabilization ovens. The KAT series of automated welding carriages exemplifies the company’s commitment to versatility and ease of use, featuring self-aligning wheels, tool-less setup, and torch holder memory functions. These features facilitate straightforward operation in complex welding and cutting tasks, meeting the rigorous standards that defense manufacturing demands. Similarly, KATBAK ceramic backing tape plays a vital role in producing high-quality back beads, while the firm’s electrode-stabilizing ovens preserve the integrity of stick welding rods by preventing moisture contamination.

    Gullco’s ability to manage every aspect of the welding automation process—from initial design and development to installation and ongoing maintenance—sets it apart in the defense sector. This holistic operational model minimizes the risks associated with subcontracted workflows, such as communication breakdowns or security vulnerabilities. By maintaining full control over engineering and production, Gullco protects classified information and accelerates deployment schedules, delivering welded components that consistently surpass industry benchmarks.

    The company’s collaboration history spans a wide range of military branches and defense contractors worldwide, illustrating the universal trust placed in Gullco’s quality and innovation. Its equipment has contributed directly to building and maintaining critical assets, including armored personnel carriers, tactical vehicles, fighter jets, helicopters, and naval vessels. Each welding application benefits from Gullco’s pursuit of precision, repeatability, and durability—attributes essential to ensuring operational readiness and sustained mission capability.

    Jeff Zook, Director at Gullco, emphasized, “Our mission is to enable defense manufacturers with welding automation solutions that not only meet the toughest industry standards but also enhance safety and operational efficiency. By offering integrated engineering and a comprehensive product suite, including our rugged portable beveling machines, we deliver unparalleled value to military projects that demand excellence without compromise.”

    With military modernization programs continually advancing, Gullco’s role in equipping defense industries with cutting-edge welding automation technology remains vital. The company is prepared to support emerging fabrication challenges as materials evolve and military hardware grows increasingly complex.

  • Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong Announces Continued Commitment to Craftsmanship and Customization in Wedding Ring Collections

    Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong Announces Continued Commitment to Craftsmanship and Customization in Wedding Ring Collections

    Ginza Diamond Shiraishi, a jewelry house originally founded in Japan and now operating across Asia, continues to expand its footprint in Hong Kong with a renewed focus on 結婚戒指 (wedding rings) craftsmanship, customer personalization, and legacy-inspired design. The brand’s Hong Kong presence at multiple locations reflects sustained demand for bridal jewelry that combines precision, cultural relevance, and bespoke features.

    Founded in Ginza, Tokyo, Ginza Diamond Shiraishi has maintained a reputation over the years for its approach to bridal jewelry rooted in Japanese aesthetics and artisanal standards. The company’s Hong Kong operations align with this heritage, offering wedding rings that emphasize fine detailing, symmetry, and gemstone quality. As more couples in Hong Kong seek rings that reflect not only aesthetic value but long-term durability and symbolic meaning, the brand’s philosophy continues to appeal to discerning buyers.

    Wedding rings from Ginza Diamond Shiraishi are known for incorporating design concepts that balance traditional symbolism with modern interpretation. Many collections are structured around meaningful motifs such as harmony, unity, and eternity, expressed through metal curvature, diamond arrangement, and engraving techniques. The use of high-quality materials—such as platinum, 18K gold, and ethically sourced diamonds—remains consistent across offerings, with each ring manufactured through a process that includes both hand-crafting and precision casting technologies.

    The Hong Kong stores also provide personalized consultation and aftercare services, which have become an important aspect of the wedding ring selection process. Couples are offered guidance from trained staff with expertise in diamond grading, ring sizing, and material options. This consultative process allows clients to understand the structural and aesthetic aspects of each ring design, including durability under daily wear, comfort, and compatibility with engagement ring sets. The rings can also be customized in terms of metal finish, diamond carat size, and setting preference, allowing for a degree of individuality while retaining core design values.

    The company notes that wedding ring buyers in Hong Kong are increasingly favoring designs that reflect shared values and life philosophy, rather than focusing solely on price or brand recognition. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi addresses this by offering collections inspired by themes such as “eternal connection,” “blessing of light,” and “shared journey,” all expressed through architectural forms, symmetrical lines, and tactile textures. The designs are not trend-driven but instead structured to hold their appeal over time, aligning with the idea of a wedding ring as a lifelong symbol.

    In response to shifting consumer behavior and the continued digitization of the customer journey, Ginza Diamond Shiraishi has enhanced its Hong Kong website with digital catalogues, appointment booking systems, and visual tools for previewing ring combinations. While in-store experiences remain core to the purchase process due to the tactile and emotional nature of wedding rings, online engagement has become an important gateway for customers to explore styles and gather information before visiting a physical location.

    The brand’s supply chain is also built to ensure continuity in materials and ethical sourcing. All diamonds are certified and traceable, in line with international standards. The company maintains relationships with suppliers that adhere to responsible sourcing protocols, a key concern among modern consumers. In terms of production, the manufacturing facilities used by Ginza Diamond Shiraishi operate with high precision tools and quality inspection checkpoints to maintain consistency, particularly in ring pairing where two matching bands must align in curvature and texture.

    Beyond product offerings, Ginza Diamond Shiraishi participates in educational efforts to inform the public about diamond characteristics, including the 4Cs—cut, color, clarity, and carat—as well as care tips and ring maintenance. In Hong Kong, store teams regularly assist customers with resizing, polishing, and stone tightening, ensuring that each piece remains in suitable condition throughout its wear lifecycle. Lifetime aftercare services are a common part of the brand’s wedding ring program, reflecting a belief in long-term relationships with clients.

    Industry observers have noted a steady shift in the wedding jewelry sector from mass-market designs to more intentional purchases that combine design integrity with emotional value. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi’s Hong Kong operations are situated within this trend, offering designs that cater to those seeking meaning, material value, and cultural resonance. The brand’s Japanese origin has also attracted interest from couples who associate Japanese craftsmanship with precision, symbolism, and discreet elegance.

    Several of the brand’s signature wedding ring lines have continued to attract interest in the local market. These include designs that incorporate mirrored settings to represent mutual reflection, tapered edges symbolizing journey convergence, and surface textures evoking natural phenomena like light waves or tree rings. Such design philosophies are rooted in Japanese minimalism but adapted for international appeal.

    Ginza Diamond Shiraishi’s engagement with the Hong Kong market also includes participation in wedding expos, industry showcases, and collaboration with planners and bridal consultants. These initiatives aim to foster greater awareness of the considerations involved in wedding ring selection, particularly among younger couples navigating their first luxury jewelry purchase together.

    Looking ahead, the company plans to continue expanding its localized offerings while staying aligned with its founding principles. Research and development teams are exploring new materials and design formats that complement evolving preferences, such as stacking rings, nontraditional materials, and gender-neutral designs. However, the brand has reaffirmed its commitment to preserving the craftsmanship and durability that have defined its reputation.
