```markdown Part I - Financial Information [Consolidated Financial Statements](index=3&type=section&id=Consolidated%20Financial%20Statements) For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, TCG BDC, Inc. reported a significant net decrease in net assets of $121.1 million, a sharp contrast to the $33.7 million increase in the same period of 2019. This was primarily driven by a substantial net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $145.6 million. Total assets decreased to $2.13 billion from $2.19 billion at year-end 2019, while total liabilities increased, leading to a reduction in net assets from $956.5 million to $798.5 million. Net assets per share fell from $16.56 to $14.18 during the quarter [Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities](index=3&type=section&id=Consolidated%20Statements%20of%20Assets%20and%20Liabilities) As of March 31, 2020, total assets were $2.127 billion, a decrease from $2.188 billion at December 31, 2019, primarily due to a decline in the fair value of investments. Total liabilities increased to $1.328 billion from $1.231 billion, driven by higher secured borrowings. Consequently, total net assets decreased to $798.5 million from $956.5 million, with net assets per share falling to $14.18 from $16.56 Consolidated Assets and Liabilities (in thousands) | Account | March 31, 2020 (unaudited) | December 31, 2019 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Total investments, at fair value** | **$2,024,277** | **$2,123,964** | | Cash and cash equivalents | $65,525 | $36,751 | | **Total assets** | **$2,126,826** | **$2,187,533** | | Secured borrowings | $701,609 | $616,543 | | **Total liabilities** | **$1,328,292** | **$1,231,062** | | **Total net assets** | **$798,534** | **$956,471** | | **NET ASSETS PER SHARE** | **$14.18** | **$16.56** | [Consolidated Statements of Operations](index=4&type=section&id=Consolidated%20Statements%20of%20Operations) For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the company reported a net decrease in net assets of $121.1 million, or ($2.12) per share, compared to a net increase of $33.7 million, or $0.55 per share, in the prior year period.
