The $0.5 million, or $0.03 per share net increase is attributable to a $15.1 million decrease in unrealized depreciation on portfolio securities and a $0.6 million decrease in income tax benefits, offset by a decrease in net realized (after tax) capital gain on portfolio securities of $14.0 million during the third quarter of 2009, compared to the third quarter of 2008.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 the net decrease in stockholders equity (net assets), resulting from operations was $6.2 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to an increase of $22.2 million, or $1.02 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The $28.4 million, or $1.31 per share net decrease is attributable to a decrease in net investment income before income taxes of $1.9 million due to lower overall investment income offset by lower management fees and interest expense, $13.7 million increase in unrealized depreciation on portfolio securities, a decrease in net realized (after tax) capital gain on portfolio securities of $14.1 million, offset by a $1.2 million increase in income tax benefits during the third quarter of 2009, compared to the third quarter of 2008.
For the third quarter of 2009, the combined increase in unrealized appreciation of our portfolio securities, corporate notes and commodity derivative instruments of $11.3 million was largely due to changes in the estimated market values of underlying assets totaling $12.0 million. This $12.0 million was offset by $0.7 million in reversals of prior year unrealized appreciation of commodity derivative instruments due to third quarter 2009 realizations. The $12.0 million net increase in fair value was comprised of increases of unrealized appreciation totaling $13.6 million offset by increases in unrealized depreciation of $1.6 million. The $13.6 million increase in unrealized appreciation consisted primarily of higher market values for Resaca common stock, $4.5 million; Alden term notes and royalty, $3.4 million; ATP Oil & Gas Corp. limited term royalty, $2.4 million and Venoco, Inc. senior notes, $1.3 million. The $1.6 million increase in unrealized depreciation consisted primarily of a decrease in market value for our investment in TierraMar Energy LP preferred units of $1.5 million.
