EXPLANATORY NOTE

In this Form 10-K, Kohlberg Capital:

a)	restates its Balance Sheet and Schedule of Investments as of December 31, 2008, and the related Statement of Operations, Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for the year ended December 31, 2008;

b)	restates its “Item 6. Selected Financial Data” of this Annual Report for 2008;

c)	restates its unaudited financial information for each of the four quarters of 2008 as well as for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009; and

d)	reflects restated financial information for 2008 in its “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Concurrent with the filing of this Form 10-K, the Company is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”) (1) amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 (the “Q1 2009 10-Q/A”) and June 30, 2009 (the “Q2 2009 10-Q/A”), (2) a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009 (the “Q3 2009 10-Q”), and (3) a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010 (the “Q1 2010 10-Q”). The Q1 2009 10-Q/A contains restated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2009 (as well as for the comparative period of 2008) and for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Q2 2009 10-Q/A contains restated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 (as well as for the comparative periods of 2008) and for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Q3 2009 10-Q contains restated financial information for the year ended December 31, 2008 (as well as for the comparative periods ended September 30, 2008). The Q1 2010 10-Q contains restated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company is including its restated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 in this Form 10-K in lieu of filing an amendment to its previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and previously filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods in 2008 have not been amended for the restatement affecting 2008 and should not be relied upon.

In addition, management has concluded that the Company had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting related to errors in the application of accounting for the fair value of the Company’s illiquid investments and the revenue recognition for certain non-cash payment-in-kind (“PIK”) investments as of the end of each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and each of the quarterly periods included in such years. As described in more detail in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of this Form 10-K, the Company is implementing measures designed to remediate the identified material weaknesses and believes that these measures will effectively remediate these material weaknesses. As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, the Company believes that it has corrected its accounting for the fair value of its illiquid investments and its accounting for the revenue recognition for its non-cash PIK investments to the extent necessary to prepare the restated financial statements and the other financial information contained herein.

Background of the Restatement

As previously disclosed by the Company in its filings with the Commission:

•

The Company was unable to timely file its Q3 2009 10-Q due to unresolved disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), the Company’s former accountants, regarding the application of certain accounting standards relating to valuation determinations under Accounting Standards Codification 820, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157—Fair Value Measurements (“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”), included in its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year and its financial statements for the interim periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for those respective periods.

•

On December 10, 2009, the Company and its management were advised by Deloitte that (i) the audit report issued by Deloitte accompanying the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year and (ii) Deloitte’s completed interim reviews of the Company’s financial statements for the interim periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for those respective periods should no longer be relied upon. As a result, the Company indicated in a Current Report on Form 8-K that the financial statements for the specified periods included in such reports should not be relied upon until the foregoing matters were resolved.

•

Notwithstanding that the Company’s management and members of its Audit Committee had numerous conversations during the months of November and December 2009 with Deloitte regarding Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and valuation of the Company’s investments, it became clear to the Company that it was unlikely that the Company and Deloitte would be able to reach a resolution regarding the disagreements over the Company’s valuation methodology and procedures under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

•

On January 12, 2010, following discussions initiated by the Company with the Staff of the Division of Investment Management of the Commission, the Company dismissed Deloitte as its registered public accounting firm.

•

On January 27, 2010, the Company engaged Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.

Following the Company’s engagement of Grant Thornton, the Company’s management and Audit Committee concluded that the Company would have to restate its previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. Management and the Audit Committee determined that such restatement was necessary to correct errors in the application of accounting for the fair value measurements of the Company’s illiquid investments and the revenue recognition for certain non-cash PIK investments, which errors impact the amount of unrealized gains (losses) reported for the Company’s illiquid investments (defined by the Company as investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades), which affects the calculation of the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) and net income, and also impact net investment income as well as the cost basis and the net change in unrealized appreciation on certain non-cash PIK investments. In connection with the restatement, the Company revised the valuation procedures applied to its illiquid investments and its accounting for its non-cash PIK investments. The Company now derives fair value for its illiquid investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using a present value technique that discounts the estimated contractual cash flows for the underlying assets with discount rates imputed by broad market indices, bond spreads and yields for comparable issuers relative to the subject assets (the “Market Yield Approach”) and also considers recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual cash flows for an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the seniority or security interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield bond index, at the valuation date. The Company has identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related to its loan and debt investments. Because the Company has not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan and debt investments held by the Company and therefore uses the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant adjustment to better correlate such market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate may be applied to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used as part of the valuation methodology, their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used as security, structure, performance and other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting present value determination is then weighted along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such quotes are indicative of actual transactions with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation or distressed sales, relatively more reliance will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative of market transactions or are insufficient as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be compared with other fair value indications and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy. The appropriateness of specific valuation methods and techniques may change as market conditions and available data change. In addition, for investments which earn non-cash PIK interest and for which there has been a substantial decline in fair value due to underlying credit concerns for an extended period, the Company no longer accrues such non-cash PIK interest as income.

No financial statements for periods ended prior to January 1, 2008 are impacted by the restatement. For more detailed information about the restatement, please see Note 14, “Restated Financial Statements” and Note 13, “Selected Quarterly Data and Restatement of Interim Financial Data (unaudited) (as restated)” in the accompanying financial statements and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Results” of this Annual Report.

Item 1.

Business

KOHLBERG CAPITAL CORPORATION

We are an internally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We originate, structure and invest in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity securities primarily in privately-held middle market companies. We define the middle market as comprising companies with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as “EBITDA,” of $10 million to $50 million and/or total debt of $25 million to $150 million. In addition to our middle market investment business, our wholly-owned portfolio company, Katonah Debt Advisors and its affiliates (collectively, “Katonah Debt Advisors”), manage collateralized loan obligation funds (“CLO Funds”) that invest in broadly syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and other corporate credit instruments. We acquired Katonah Debt Advisors and certain related assets prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”) from affiliates of Kohlberg & Co., LLC (“Kohlberg & Co.”), a leading private equity firm focused on middle market investing. As of December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation from our investments. We also expect to receive distributions of recurring fee income and, as debt markets stabilize and recover, to generate capital appreciation from our investment in the asset management business of Katonah Debt Advisors. Our investment portfolio, as well as the investment portfolios of the CLO Funds in which we have invested and the investment portfolios of the CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors, consist exclusively of credit instruments and other securities issued by corporations and do not include any asset-backed securities secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other consumer borrowings.

As a RIC, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our net taxable income and the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. Pursuant to these elections, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders.

Our common stock is traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “KCAP.” The NAV per share of our common stock at December 31, 2009 was $9.56. On December 31, 2009, the last reported sales price of a share of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market was $4.56.

CORPORATE HISTORY AND OFFICES

We were formed in August 2006 as a Delaware limited liability company. In December 2006, we completed our IPO, which raised net proceeds of approximately $200 million after the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. In connection with our IPO, we issued an additional 3,484,333 shares of our common stock to affiliates of Kohlberg & Company in exchange for the ownership interests of Katonah Debt Advisors and in securities issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and two other asset managers.

Our principal executive offices are located at 295 Madison Avenue, 6^th Floor, New York, New York 10017 and our telephone number is (212) 455-8300. Information about us may also be obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (http://www.sec.gov). We maintain a website on the Internet at http://www.kohlbergcapital.com. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report, and that information should not be considered as part of this Annual Report. We make available free of charge on our website our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

KEY QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE FINANCIAL MEASURES AND INDICATORS

Net Asset Value

Our NAV per share was $9.56 and $9.03 as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. As we must report our assets at fair value for each reporting period, NAV also represents the amount of stockholders’ equity per share for the reporting period. Our NAV is comprised mostly of investment assets less debt and other liabilities:


	December 31, 2009				December 31, 2008 (as restated)
	Fair Value ¹		per Share¹		Fair Value ¹		per Share ¹
Investments at fair value:

Borrowings	$	218,050,363	$	9.75	$	261,691,148	$	12.02
Other liabilities		7,469,970		0.34		10,899,063		0.50

Total Liabilities	$	225,520,333	$	10.09	$	272,590,211	$	12.52

NET ASSET VALUE	$	213,895,724	$	9.56	$	196,566,018	$	9.03

Our balance sheet at fair value and resulting NAV are calculated on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our per share presentation of such amounts (other than NAV per share) is an internally derived non-GAAP performance measure calculated by dividing the applicable balance sheet amount by outstanding shares. We believe that the per share amounts for such balance sheet items are helpful in analyzing our balance sheet both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Please refer to “—Investment Portfolio” below for a further description of our investment portfolio and the fair value thereof.

Leverage

We use borrowed funds, known as “leverage,” to make investments in an attempt to increase returns to our shareholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. As a BDC, we are limited in the amount of leverage we can incur under the 1940 Act. We are only allowed to borrow amounts if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% immediately after such borrowing. We may also borrow amounts of up to 5% of the value of our total assets for temporary purposes. Our borrowings are through a secured financing facility (the “Facility”). In connection with the Facility, we are party to a Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2007 (as amended, the “LFSA”), by and among us, as the servicer, our wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, Kohlberg Capital Funding LLC I, as the borrower (“KCAP Funding” or the “Borrower”), BMO Capital Markets Corp, as the agent (the “Agent”), U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as the trustee (the “Trustee”) and the other lender parties and other parties thereto. As of December 31, 2009, we had approximately $218 million of outstanding borrowings and our asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings was 198%, below the minimum asset coverage level generally required by the 1940 Act for a BDC to incur new debt, primarily as a result of unrealized fair value losses on our investments. Until the minimum asset coverage level is met, we will be unable to incur additional debt (other than certain temporary debt) or issue securities senior to our common stock. As a result we will be limited in our ability to raise capital to make new investments until our asset coverage ratio exceeds 200%. However, because we have no public debt outstanding, failure to maintain asset coverage of at least 200% will not limit our ability, under the 40 Act, to pay dividends from our net investment income.

In August 2008, we were notified by the lenders that the banks providing the underlying liquidity for the Facility did not intend to renew their liquidity facility to the lenders unless we agreed to certain revised terms for the Facility. The lenders proposed new terms to us as a condition to extending the underlying liquidity purchase agreements. We viewed such proposed terms as unfavorable and did not agree to such new terms, causing the Agent and the lenders to declare a Termination Date based upon their contention that the underlying liquidity purchase agreements had expired, thereby terminating our ability to obtain revolving advances and commencing the amortization of existing borrowings under the Facility. On June 9, 2009, we received a letter from a representative of the lenders alleging that our failure to determine ratings on certain pledged loans and our alleged breach of certain covenants had resulted in the occurrence of a Termination Event under the LFSA and that, as a result, the interest payable under the LFSA would be calculated at the higher default rate (equal to 0.85% above the prime rate plus 0.75%) applicable to periods during which a Termination Event had occurred and was continuing. In a letter dated June 11, 2009, we rejected the alleged breaches and the alleged occurrence of a Termination Event and also asserted that the termination of the revolving period and commencement of the amortization period under the LFSA were wrongful. On August 28, 2009, we filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the Agent and other lender parties to the LFSA. The complaint reflects our beliefs that the termination of the revolving period and commencement of the amortization period under the LFSA were wrongful and that the assertions of alleged breaches of our obligations under the LFSA and the alleged occurrence of Termination Event(s) were without merit. The complaint also seeks to clarify our rights and obligations under the LFSA.

Since the time the complaint was filed, the Agent, the lenders, and the lender agent parties to the LFSA have served answers seeking dismissal of the complaint and recovery of the defendants’ attorneys’ fees and costs in the action and discovery has commenced. The Agent has sent additional notices of Termination Events, which we believe and have asserted are without merit, based on our alleged inability to comply with certain covenants under the Facility due to the wrongful declaration of a Termination Date, the accompanying termination of the revolving period and commencement of the amortization period. In addition, on April 2, 2010 the Agent sent a notice alleging that our failure to timely deliver annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 would, unless cured within 30 days of the date of the notice, constitute a Termination Event, which we also believe and have asserted is without merit based upon a non-material delay.

Since September 2008, all principal and excess interest collected from the assets securing the Facility have been and continue to be used to amortize the Facility through a maturity date of September 29, 2010 (the last day of the amortization period that we have challenged as being wrongfully commenced). Since June 2009, based on the Agent’s assertion (despite our disagreement with such assertion) that a Termination Event occurred, the interest payable under the LFSA has been calculated at an elevated rate (equal to 0.85% above the prime rate plus 0.75%), and we have been paying interest calculated at such higher rate under protest. Also, despite our belief that the amortization period has been wrongfully imposed, we believe we have sufficient cash and liquid assets which could be sold, potentially at a loss, to generate cash to fund normal operations and dividend distributions during the amortization period. At the end of the amortization period, we may be required to sell or transfer the remaining assets securing the Facility, potentially at a loss, to repay any remaining outstanding borrowings or we may enter into a new agreement with the lenders providing for continued amortization of the Facility borrowings or into alternative financing arrangements with another lender.

Under the Facility, the Company is subject to various covenants including a leverage ratio covenant pursuant to which it must maintain a leverage ratio of no more than one to one based on the ratio of the Facility outstanding balance to the Company’s GAAP stockholders’ equity balance. As of April 30, 2010, the Company’s leverage ratio did not exceed 1:1.

As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, the Company believes that it is not in material breach of its obligations under the LFSA, including the financial covenants. However, as described above and further in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings,” the Company and the Borrower are plaintiffs in a pending lawsuit against the Agent and the lenders involving the LFSA. While the Company and the Borrower intend to vigorously pursue the claims set forth in the complaint, neither the outcome of this litigation nor the amount and range of potential damages recoverable by the Company and the Borrower or their exposure associated with this litigation can be determined at this time. There can be no assurance that in connection with such lawsuit or otherwise the Agent and the lenders will not assert additional breaches of the LFSA, including breaches relating to the restatement described elsewhere in this Annual Report, and there can be no assurance that the Agent and the lenders will not assert that any such breaches give rise to a Termination Event. While the Company and the Borrower believe that they have meritorious claims against the Agent and the lenders in the pending lawsuit and, as a result, the breaches alleged by the Agent and the lenders are not valid in accordance with the terms of the LFSA, there is no assurance that the Company and the Borrower will prevail in such litigation. If the Company and the Borrower do not prevail, the Agent and the lenders may seek to pursue claims based on the alleged breaches, including claims involving a Termination Event. If the Agent and the lenders were to seek to accelerate and seize the collateral either at the end of the amortization period or otherwise, and we were unsuccessful in obtaining court relief, we could be forced to pay the remaining balance of the Facility (approximately $187 million as of April 30, 2010), which would adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and the Notes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report for further information relating to the LFSA and the complaint.

We estimate that the portfolio of loans securing the Facility will be required to generate an annual rate of return of approximately 3% to cover annual interest payments on obligations incurred under the Facility.

Revenue

Revenues consist primarily of investment income from interest and dividends on our investment portfolio and various ancillary fees related to our investment holdings.

Interest from Investments in Debt Securities. We generate interest income from our investments in debt securities which consist primarily of senior and junior secured loans. Our debt securities portfolio is spread across multiple industries and geographic locations, and as such, we are broadly exposed to market conditions and business environments. As a result, although our investments are exposed to market risks, we continuously seek to limit concentration of exposure in any particular sector or issuer.

Dividends from Investments in CLO Fund Securities. We generate dividend income from our investments in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds (typically preferred shares or subordinated securities) managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and selective investments in securities issued by funds managed by other asset management companies. CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors invest primarily in broadly syndicated non-investment grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments of corporate issuers. The Company distinguishes CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors as “CLO fund securities managed by affiliate.” The underlying assets in each of the CLO Funds in which we have an investment are generally diversified secured or unsecured corporate debt and exclude mortgage pools or mortgage securities (residential mortgage bonds, commercial mortgage backed securities, or related asset-backed securities), debt to companies providing mortgage lending and emerging markets investments. Our CLO Fund securities are subordinate to senior bond holders who typically receive a fixed spread over LIBOR on their investment. The CLO Funds are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or “excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities in the fund less payments made to senior bond holders, fund expenses and management fees) is paid to the holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated securities or preferred shares. The level of excess spread from CLO Fund securities can be impacted by the timing and level of the resetting of the benchmark interest rate for the underlying assets (which reset at various times throughout the quarter) in the CLO Fund and the related CLO Fund bond liabilities (which reset at each quarterly distribution date); in periods of short-term and volatile changes in the benchmark interest rate, the levels of excess spread and distributions to us can vary significantly. In addition, the failure of CLO Funds in which we invest to comply with certain financial covenants may lead to the temporary suspension or deferral of cash distributions to us.

For non-junior class CLO Fund securities, such as our investment in the class B-2L notes of the Katonah 2007-1 CLO, interest is earned at a fixed spread relative to the LIBOR index.

Dividends from Affiliate Asset Manager. We generate dividend income from our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors, an asset management company, which is a wholly-owned portfolio company that primarily manages CLO Funds that invest mainly in broadly syndicated non-investment grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments issued by corporations. As a manager of CLO Funds, Katonah Debt Advisors receives contractual and recurring management fees as well as an expected one-time structuring fee from the CLO Funds for its management and advisory services. In addition, Katonah Debt Advisors may also earn income related to net interest on assets accumulated for future CLO issuances on which it has provided a first loss guaranty in connection with loan warehouse arrangements for its CLO Funds. Katonah Debt Advisors generates annual operating income equal to the amount by which its fee income exceeds it operating expenses. The annual management fees which Katonah Debt Advisors receives are generally based on a fixed percentage of the par value of assets under management and are recurring in nature for the term of the CLO Fund so long as Katonah Debt Advisors manages the fund. As a result, the annual management fees earned by Katonah Debt Advisors generally are not subject to market value fluctuations in the underlying collateral. In future years, Katonah Debt Advisors may receive incentive fees upon the liquidation of CLO Funds it manages, provided such CLO Funds have achieved a minimum investment return to holders of their subordinated securities or preferred shares.

Capital Structuring Service Fees. We may earn ancillary structuring and other fees related to the origination and/or investment in debt and investment securities.

Expenses

Expenses consist primarily of interest expense on outstanding borrowings, compensation expense and general and administrative expenses, including professional fees.

Interest and Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs. Interest expense is dependent on the average outstanding balance on our Facility and the base index rate for the period. Debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These amounts are capitalized and amortized ratably over the contractual term of the borrowing.

Compensation Expense. Compensation expense includes base salaries, bonuses, stock compensation, employee benefits and employer related payroll costs. The largest components of total compensation costs are base salaries and bonuses; generally, base salaries are expensed as incurred and annual bonus expenses are estimated and accrued. Our compensation arrangements with our employees may contain a significant performance-based bonus component. Therefore, as our net revenues increase, our compensation costs may also rise. In addition, our compensation expenses may also increase to reflect increased investment in personnel as we grow our products and businesses.

Professional Fees and General and Administrative Expenses. The balance of our expenses include professional fees, occupancy costs and general administrative and other costs.

Net Unrealized Appreciation on Investments

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s investments had net unrealized appreciation of approximately $32 million.

The net unrealized appreciation for the year ended December 31, 2009 is primarily due to (i) an approximate $25 million net increase in the market value of certain broadly syndicated loans; (ii) an approximate $13 million increase in the net value of CLO Fund security investments; and (iii) an approximate $7 million net decrease in the market value of equity investments.

Net Change in Stockholders’ Equity Resulting From Operations

The net change in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 was an approximate increase of $34 million, or an increase of $1.56 per share.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized Gains (Losses)

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) represents the net increase or decrease in stockholders’ equity before net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. For the year ended December 31, 2009 net investment income and realized gains (losses) were approximately $3 million, or $0.12 per share. Net investment income represents the income earned on our investments less operating and interest expense before net realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. For the year ended December 31, 2009, net investment income was approximately $18 million, or $0.83 per share.

Generally, we seek to fund our dividends from net investment income. For the year ended December 31, 2009, dividend distributions totaled approximately $20 million or $0.92 per share.

Dividends

We intend to continue to distribute quarterly dividends to our stockholders. To avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we currently intend to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of:

•

98% of our ordinary net taxable income for the calendar year;

•

98% of our capital gains, if any, in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year; and

•

any net ordinary income and net capital gains for the preceding year that were not distributed during such year.

The amount of our declared dividends, as evaluated by management and approved by our Board of Directors, is based on our evaluation of both distributable income for tax purposes and GAAP net investment income (which excludes unrealized gains and losses). Generally, we seek to fund our dividends from GAAP current earnings, primarily from net interest and dividend income generated by our investment portfolio and without a return of capital or a high reliance on realized capital gains. The following table sets forth the quarterly dividends declared by us in the two most recently completed years, which represent an amount equal to our estimated net investment income for the specified quarter, including income distributed from Katonah Debt Advisors received by the Company, plus a portion of any prior year undistributed amounts of net investment income distributed in subsequent years:

First quarter		0.41	3/14/2008	4/8/2007	4/28/2008

Total declared for 2008	$	1.44

Due to our ownership of Katonah Debt Advisors and certain timing, structural and tax considerations our dividend distributions may include a return of capital for tax purposes. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2 million of pre-tax GAAP income and made no dividend distributions, and for the year ended December 31, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors had an approximate $4 million pre-tax net loss and distributed $1 million in dividends to us; dividends are recorded as declared by Katonah Debt Advisors as income on our statement of operations.

Please refer to “—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below for further information regarding our dividend distributions.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

Investment Objective

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation from our middle market investments and from our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors. Subject to prevailing market conditions, we intend to grow our portfolio of assets by raising additional capital, including through the prudent use of leverage available to us. We primarily invest in first and second lien term loans which, because of their priority in a company’s capital structure, we expect will have lower default rates and higher rates of recovery of principal if there is a default and which we expect will create a stable stream of interest income. While our primary investment focus is on making loans to, and selected equity investments in, privately-held middle market companies, we may also invest in other investments such as loans to larger, publicly-traded companies, high-yield bonds and distressed debt securities. We may also receive warrants or options to purchase common stock in connection with our debt investments. In addition, we may also invest in debt and equity securities issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors or by other asset managers. However, our investment strategy is to limit the value of our investments in the debt or equity securities issued by CLO Funds to not more than 15% of the value of our total investment portfolio at the time of investment. We invest exclusively in credit instruments issued by corporations and do not invest in asset-backed securities, such as those secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other consumer borrowings.

Our middle market investment business targets companies that have strong historical cash flows, experienced management teams and identifiable and defensible market positions in industries with positive dynamics. We seek to manage risk through a rigorous credit and investment underwriting process and an active portfolio monitoring program.

We expect to continue to benefit from our ownership of Katonah Debt Advisors in four ways. First, by working with the investment professionals at Katonah Debt Advisors, we have multiple sources of investment opportunities. Second, the experienced team of credit analysts at Katonah Debt Advisors, some of whom also serve as officers of the Company, have specializations covering more than 20 industry groups and they assist us in reviewing potential investments and monitoring our portfolio. Third, we may continue to make investments in CLO Funds or other funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors, which we believe will provide us with a current cash investment return. Fourth, we expect to continue to receive distributions of recurring fee income and the potential to generate capital appreciation from our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors as the platform grows.

Investment Securities

We employ a disciplined approach in the selection and monitoring of our investments. Generally, we target investments that will provide a current return through interest income to provide for stability in our net income and place less reliance on realized capital gains from our investments. Our investment philosophy is focused on preserving capital with an appropriate return profile relative to risk. Our investment due diligence and selection generally focuses on an underlying issuer’s net cash flow after capital expenditures to service its debt rather than on multiples of net income, valuations or other broad benchmarks which frequently miss the nuances of an issuer’s business and prospective financial performance. We also avoid concentrations in any one industry or issuer. We manage risk through a rigorous credit and investment underwriting process and an active portfolio monitoring program.

To the extent that our investments are exchange traded and are priced or have sufficient price indications from normal course trading at or around the valuation date (financial reporting date), such pricing will determine fair value. Pricing service marks from third party pricing services may be used as an indication of fair value, depending on the volume and reliability of the marks, sufficiency and reasonable correlation of bid and ask quotes, and, most importantly, the level of actual trading activity. However, most of our investments are illiquid assets with little or no trading activity. Further, we have been unable to identify directly comparable market indices or other market guidance that correlate directly to the types of investments we own. As a result, for most of our assets, we determine fair value using alternative methodologies and models using available market data, as adjusted, to reflect the types of assets we own, their structure, qualitative and credit attributes and other asset specific characteristics.

Kohlberg Capital’s Board of Directors is ultimately and solely responsible for making a good faith determination of the fair value of portfolio investments on a quarterly basis. As discussed above, debt and equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at such market quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market price is not readily available are valued by the Board of Directors based on detailed analyses prepared by management, the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors, and, in certain circumstances, third parties with valuation expertise. Valuations are conducted by management on 100% of the investment portfolio at the end of each quarter. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ materially from the values that would have existed had a ready market existed for such investments. Further, such investments may be generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may occur over the life of the investments that may cause the value realized on such investments to be different from the currently assigned valuations.

In connection with the restatement, we revised the valuation procedures applied to our illiquid investments. We now derive fair value for our illiquid investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using the Market Yield Approach and also consider recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual cash flows for an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the seniority or security interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield bond index, at the valuation date. We have identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related to our loan and debt investments. Because we have not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan and debt investments held by us and therefore use the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant adjustment to better correlate such market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate may be applied to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used as part of the valuation methodology, their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used as security, structure, performance and other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting present value determination is then weighted along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such quotes are indicative of actual transactions with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation or distressed sales, relatively more reliance will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative of market transactions or are insufficient as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be compared with other fair value indications and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy. Management retroactively applied such revised valuation procedures to our portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. As a result, we have restated the financial statements for each of those periods to reflect the use of these revised valuation procedures. No financial statements for periods ended prior to January 1, 2008 are impacted by the restatement. The appropriateness of specific valuation methods and techniques may change as market conditions and available data change.

In addition, in connection with the restatement described above, we engaged Valuation Research Corporation (“VRC”), an independent valuation firm, to provide third-party valuation estimates for approximately 39% and 40% of investments at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. VRC’s valuation estimates were considered as one of the relevant data inputs in the Company’s determination of fair value. The Board of Directors intends to continue to engage an independent valuation firm in the future to provide certain valuation services, including the review of certain portfolio assets, as part of our annual year end valuation process.

Our debt securities investment portfolio at December 31, 2009 was spread across 26 different industries and 74 different entities with an average balance per investment of approximately $4 million. As of December 31, 2009, ten issuers representing 2% of total investments at fair value were considered in default. Our portfolio, including the CLO Funds in which we invest, and the CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors, consist exclusively of credit instruments issued by companies and do not include investments in asset-backed securities, such as those secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other consumer borrowings.

Our portfolio investments at fair value decreased from $461 million at December 31, 2008 to $409 million as of December 31, 2009. The net decrease in portfolio size relates primarily to sales and paydowns of debt securities of approximately $73 million that offset unrealized mark-to-market fair value increases in our investment portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2009. Although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so, our intention is to hold such assets to maturity. First lien loan balances at fair value

decreased to $159 million at December 31, 2009 from $204 million at December 31, 2008. Second lien, mezzanine loan and bond positions decreased to $138 million at December 31, 2009 from $150 million at December 31, 2008. We had equity securities, other than CLO equity securities, totaling $5 million and investments in CLO Fund securities of $49 million at fair value as of December 31, 2009.

We may invest up to 30% of our investment portfolio in opportunistic investments in high-yield bonds, debt and equity securities of CLO Funds, distressed debt or equity securities of public companies. However, our investment strategy is to limit the value of our investments in the debt or equity securities issued by CLO Funds to not more than 15% of the value of our total investment portfolio at the time of investment. We expect that these public companies generally will have debt that is non-investment grade. We also may invest in debt of middle market companies located outside of the United States, of which investments are not anticipated to be in excess of 10% of our investment portfolio at the time such investments are made. At December 31, 2009, approximately 12% of our investments were foreign assets (and including our investments in CLO Funds, which are typically domiciled outside the U.S., our investments in foreign assets represented approximately 12% of our portfolio). We are generally prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to any portfolio company of a private equity fund managed by Kohlberg & Co. without the prior approval of the SEC. However, we may co-invest on a concurrent basis with Kohlberg & Co. or any of our affiliates, subject to compliance with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only if we receive an order from the SEC permitting us to do so. There can be no assurance that any such order will be applied for or, if applied for, obtained.

As of December 31, 2009, our ten largest portfolio companies represented approximately 37% of the total fair value of our investments. Our largest investment, Katonah Debt Advisors, which is our wholly-owned portfolio company, represented 14% of the total fair value of our investments. Excluding Katonah Debt Advisors and CLO Fund securities, our ten largest portfolio companies represent approximately 19% of the total fair value of our investments.

As of December 31, 2009, our investments in loans and debt securities had an annual weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.2%.

The characteristics of our investment securities at fair value, excluding CLO equity securities, are presented in the following table as of each quarter end from March 31, 2008 through December 31, 2009:

Buildings and real estate relate to real estate ownership, builders, managers and developers and excludes mortgage debt investments and mortgage lenders or originators. As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had no exposure to mortgage securities (residential mortgage bonds, commercial mortgage backed securities, or related asset-backed securities) or companies providing mortgage lending.

CLO Fund Securities

We typically make a minority investment in the subordinated securities or preferred shares of CLO Funds raised and managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and may selectively invest in securities issued by CLO Funds managed by other asset management companies. The securities issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors are primarily held by third parties. As of December 31, 2009, we had approximately $49 million invested in CLO Fund securities, including those issued by funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors. The CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors invest primarily in broadly syndicated non-investment grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments of corporate issuers. The underlying assets in each of the CLO Funds in which we have an investment are generally diversified secured or unsecured corporate debt and exclude mortgage pools or mortgage securities (residential mortgage bonds, commercial mortgage backed securities, or related asset-backed securities), debt to companies providing mortgage lending and emerging markets investments. Subject to the availability of any such investment opportunities and prevailing market conditions we may continue to make such investments. The CLO Funds are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or “excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities in the fund less payments made to senior bond holders, fund expenses and management fees) is paid to the holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated securities or preferred shares.

Our CLO Fund securities as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

²	An affiliate CLO Fund managed by Katonah Debt Advisors.

³	As of December 31, 2009, these CLO Fund securities were not providing a dividend distribution.

Our investments in CLO Fund securities are carried at fair value, which is based either on (i) the present value of the net expected cash inflows for interest income and principal repayments from underlying assets and cash outflows for interest expense, debt paydown and other fund costs for the CLO Funds that are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore are selling assets and/or using principal repayments to pay down CLO Fund debt (or will begin to do so shortly), and for which there continue to be net cash distributions to the class of securities owned by us, (ii) the NAV of the CLO Fund for CLO Funds that are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore are selling assets and/or using principal repayments to pay down CLO Fund debt (or will begin to do so shortly), and for which there are negligible net cash distributions to the class of securities owned by us, or (iii) a discounted cash flow model for more recent CLO Funds that utilizes prepayment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow and comparable yields for similar securities or preferred shares to those in which we have invested. We recognize unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our investments in CLO Fund securities as comparable yields in the market change and/or based on changes in NAVs or estimated cash flows resulting from changes in prepayment or loss assumptions in the underlying collateral pool. As each investment in CLO Fund securities ages, the expected amount of losses and the expected timing of recognition of such losses in the underlying collateral pool are updated and the revised cash flows are used in determining the fair value of the CLO Fund investments. We determine the fair value of our investments in CLO Fund securities on an individual security-by-security basis.

Due to the individual attributes of each CLO Fund security, they are classified as a Level III (as described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies – Valuation of Portfolio Investments”) investment unless specific trading activity can be identified at or near the valuation date. When available, Level II (as described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies – Valuation of Portfolio Investments”) market information will be identified, evaluated and weighted accordingly in the application of such data to the present value models and fair value determination. Significant assumptions to the present value calculations include default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, investment/reinvestment rates and spreads and the discount rate by which to value the resulting underlying cash flows. Such assumptions can vary significantly, depending on market data sources which often vary in depth and level of analysis, understanding of the CLO market, detailed or broad characterizations of the CLO market and the application of such data to an appropriate framework for analysis. The application of data points are based on the specific attributes of each individual CLO Fund security’s underlying assets, historic, current and prospective performance, vintage, and other quantitative and qualitative factors that would be evaluated by market participants. We evaluate the source of market data for reliability as an indicative market input, consistency amongst other inputs and results and also the context in which such data is presented.

For bond rated tranches of CLO Fund securities (those above the junior class) without transactions to support a fair value for the specific CLO Fund and tranche, fair value is based on discounting estimated bond payments at a current market yield, which may reflect the adjusted yield on the leveraged loan index for similarly rated tranches, as well as prices for similar tranches for other CLO Funds and also other factors such as the default and recovery rates of underlying assets in the CLO Fund, as may be applicable. Such model assumptions may vary and incorporate adjustments for risk premiums and CLO Fund specific attributes. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value.

The table below summarizes certain attributes of each CLO Fund as per their most recent trustee report as of December 31, 2009:

Katonah Debt Advisors

As a manager of the CLO Funds, Katonah Debt Advisors receives contractual and recurring management fees as well as an expected one-time structuring fee from the CLO Funds for its management and advisory services. In addition, Katonah Debt Advisors may also earn income related to net interest on assets accumulated for future CLO issuances on which it has provided a first loss guaranty in connection with loan warehouse arrangements for its CLO Funds. Katonah Debt Advisors generates annual operating income equal to the amount by which its fee income exceeds its operating expenses.

The annual management fees which Katonah Debt Advisors receives are generally based on a fixed percentage of the par value of assets under management and are recurring in nature for the term of the CLO Fund so long as Katonah Debt Advisors manages the fund. As a result, the annual management fees earned by Katonah Debt Advisors are not subject to market value fluctuations in the underlying collateral. The annual management fees Katonah Debt Advisors receives have two components - a senior management fee and a subordinated management fee. At December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors continued to receive all senior management fees

payable by the CLO Funds managed by it. However, certain CLO Funds (representing approximately $1.2 billion of the $2.1 billion of Katonah Debt Advisors’ assets under management) are not paying their subordinated management fee. These subordinated management fees, totaling approximately $4 million per year, have been restricted from being paid as a result of the failure by the CLO Funds to satisfy certain restrictive covenants contained in their indenture agreements. Such subordinated management fees continue to be accrued by the applicable CLO Fund (and on the books of Katonah Debt Advisors), and will be payable to Katonah Debt Advisors if and when such CLO Fund becomes compliant with the applicable covenants. As of December 31, 2009, approximately $5 million of such subordinated management fees have been accrued and Katonah Debt Advisors currently expects a portion of such fees to become payable to it within the next year. However, there can be no assurance that these fees will become payable or, if they do become payable, that the applicable CLO Fund will have sufficient cash to make the payments to Katonah Debt Advisors.

In future years, Katonah Debt Advisors may receive incentive fees upon the liquidation of CLO Funds it manages, provided such CLO Funds have achieved a minimum investment return to holders of their subordinated securities or preferred shares.

Subject to market conditions, we expect to continue to make investments in CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors, which we believe will provide us with a current cash investment return. We believe that these investments will provide Katonah Debt Advisors with greater opportunities to access new sources of capital which will ultimately increase Katonah Debt Advisors’ assets under management and resulting management fee income. We also expect to receive distributions of recurring fee income and, if debt markets stabilize and recover, to generate capital appreciation from our investment in the asset management business of Katonah Debt Advisors.

The revenue that Katonah Debt Advisors generates through the fees it receives for managing CLO Funds and after paying the expenses pursuant to an overhead allocation agreement with the Company associated with its operations, including compensation of its employees, may be distributed to Kohlberg Capital. Cash distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ net income are recorded as dividends from an affiliate asset manager when declared. As with all other investments, Katonah Debt Advisors’ fair value is periodically determined. Our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors is carried at fair value, which is determined after taking into consideration a percentage of assets under management and a discounted cash flow model incorporating different levels of discount rates depending on the hierarchy of fees earned (including the likelihood of realization of senior, subordinate and incentive fees) and prospective modeled performance. Such valuation includes an analysis of comparable asset management companies. Katonah Debt Advisors is classified as a Level III investment (as described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies – Valuation of Portfolio Investments”). Any change in value from period to period is recognized as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Time Deposits and Money Market Accounts

Cash time deposits primarily represent overnight Eurodollar investments of cash held in non-demand deposit accounts. Such time deposits are partially restricted under terms of the Facility. The money market account is restricted cash held for employee flexible spending accounts.

INVESTMENTS AND OPERATIONS

Overview

We originate, structure and invest in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity securities primarily in privately-held middle market companies. We define the middle market as comprising companies with EBITDA of $10 million to $50 million and/or total debt of $25 million to $150 million. In addition to our middle market investment business, our wholly-owned portfolio company, Katonah Debt Advisors, manages CLO Funds that invest in broadly syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and other corporate credit instruments. We acquired Katonah Debt Advisors and certain related assets prior to our IPO from affiliates of Kohlberg & Co., a leading private equity firm focused on middle market investing. As of December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation from our investments. In the current economic environment, capital appreciation is difficult to achieve due to real or perceived credit concerns, illiquidity in the market and the resulting impact on fair values. However, we believe our longer-term investment horizon and quality of assets will allow us to generate current income and capital appreciation on discounted assets as they amortize and repay at par. We also expect to receive distributions of recurring fee income and, if debt markets stabilize and recover, to generate capital appreciation from our investment

in the asset management business of Katonah Debt Advisors. Our investment portfolio as well as the investment portfolios of the CLO Funds in which we have invested and the investment portfolios of the CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors consist exclusively of credit instruments and other securities issued by companies and do not include any asset-backed securities secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other consumer borrowings.

As of December 31, 2009, we had total secured term loan, mezzanine debt, bond and equity investments of approximately $302 million, total investments in CLO Fund securities managed by our wholly-owned portfolio company Katonah Debt Advisors and three other asset managers of approximately $49 million, and total investment in 100% of Katonah Debt Advisors’ asset management business of approximately $58 million.

As of December 31, 2009, we had a portfolio of investment securities that included first and second lien secured loans. Our investments generally averaged between $1 million to $10 million, although particular investments may be larger or smaller. The size of individual investments will vary according to their priority in a company’s capital structure, with larger investments in more secure positions in an effort to maximize capital preservation. We expect that the size of our investments and maturity dates will vary as follows:

•

senior secured term loans from $10 to $20 million maturing in five to seven years;

•

second lien term loans from $5 to $20 million maturing in six to eight years;

•

senior unsecured loans $5 to $10 million maturing in six to eight years;

•

mezzanine loans from $5 to $10 million maturing in seven to ten years; and

•

equity investments from $1 to $5 million.

When we extend senior secured term loans, we will generally take a security interest in the available assets of the portfolio company, including the equity interests of their subsidiaries, which we expect to help mitigate the risk that we will not be repaid. Nonetheless, there is a possibility that our lien could be subordinated to claims of other creditors. Structurally, mezzanine debt ranks subordinate in priority of payment to senior term loans and is often unsecured. Relative to equity, mezzanine debt ranks senior to common and preferred equity in a borrower’s capital structure. Typically, mezzanine debt has elements of both debt and equity instruments, offering the fixed returns in the form of interest payments associated with a loan, while providing an opportunity to participate in the capital appreciation of a borrower, if any, through an equity interest that is typically in the form of equity purchased at the time the mezzanine loan is repaid or warrants to purchase equity at a future date at a fixed cost. Mezzanine debt generally earns a higher return than senior secured debt due to its higher risk profile and usually less restrictive covenants. The warrants associated with mezzanine debt are typically detachable, which allows lenders to receive repayment of their principal on an agreed amortization schedule while retaining their equity interest in the borrower. Mezzanine debt also may include a “put” feature, which permits the holder to sell its interest back to the borrower at a price determined through an agreed formula.

Investment Objective

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation from the investments made by our middle market business in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity investments in privately-held middle market companies, and from our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors. Subject to prevailing market conditions, we intend to grow our portfolio of assets by raising additional capital, including through the prudent use of leverage available to us. We will primarily invest in first and second lien term loans which, because of their priority in a company’s capital structure, we expect will have lower default rates and higher rates of recovery of principal if there is a default and which we expect will create a stable stream of interest income. While our primary investment focus is on making loans to, and selected equity investments in, privately-held middle market companies, we may also invest in other investments such as loans to larger, publicly-traded companies, high-yield bonds and distressed debt securities. We may also receive warrants or options to purchase common stock in connection with our debt investments. In addition, we may also invest in debt and equity securities issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors or by other asset managers. However, our investment strategy is to limit the value of our investments in the debt or equity securities issued by CLO Funds to not more than 15% of the value of our total investment portfolio at the time of investment. We invest almost exclusively in credit instruments issued by corporations and do not invest in asset-backed securities, such as those secured by commercial or residential mortgages or other consumer borrowings.

Credit and Investment Process

For our debt and equity securities investments, we employ the same due diligence intensive investment strategy that our senior management team, Katonah Debt Advisors and Kohlberg & Co. have used over the past 22 years. Due to our ability to source transactions through multiple channels, we expect to maintain a substantial pipeline of opportunities to allow comparative risk return analysis and selectivity. By focusing on the drivers of revenue and cash flow, we develop our own underwriting cases, and multiple stress and event specific case scenarios for each company analyzed.

We focus on lending and investing opportunities in:

•

companies with EBITDA of $10 to $50 million;

•

companies with financing needs of $25 to $150 million;

•

companies purchased by top tier equity sponsors;

•

non-sponsored companies with successful management and systems;

•

high-yield bonds and broadly syndicated loans to larger companies on a selective basis; and

•

equity co-investment in companies where we see substantial opportunity for capital appreciation.

We expect to source investment opportunities from:

•

private equity sponsors;

•

regional investment banks for non-sponsored companies;

•

other middle market lenders with whom we can “club” loans;

•

Katonah Debt Advisors with regard to high-yield bonds and syndicated loans; and

•

Kohlberg & Co. with regard to selected private equity investment opportunities.

In our experience, good credit judgment is based on a thorough understanding of both the qualitative and quantitative factors which determine a company’s performance. Our analysis begins with an understanding of the fundamentals of the industry in which a company operates, including the current economic environment and the outlook for the industry. We also focus on the company’s relative position within the industry and its historical ability to weather economic cycles. Other key qualitative factors include the experience and depth of the management team and the financial sponsor, if any.

Only after we have a comprehensive understanding of the qualitative factors do we focus on quantitative metrics. We believe that with the context provided by the qualitative analysis, we can gain a better understanding of a company’s financial performance. We analyze a potential portfolio company’s sales growth and margins in the context of its competition as well as its ability to manage its working capital requirements and its ability to generate consistent cash flow. Based upon this historical analysis, we develop a set of projections which represents a reasonable underwriting case of most likely outcomes for the company over the period of our investment. Using our Maximum Reasonable Adversity model, we also look at a variety of potential downside cases to determine a company’s ability to service its debt in a stressed credit environment.

Elements of the qualitative analysis we use in evaluating investment opportunities include the following:

•

industry fundamentals;

•

competitive position and market share;

•

past ability to work through historical down-cycles;

•

quality of financial and technology infrastructure;

•

sourcing risks and opportunities;

•

labor and union strategy;

•

technology risk;

•

diversity of customer base and product lines;

•

quality and experience of management;

•

quality of financial sponsor (if applicable); and

•

acquisition and integration history.

Elements of the quantitative analysis we use in evaluating investment opportunities include the following:

•

income statement analysis of growth and margin trends;

•

balance sheet analysis of working capital efficiency;

•

cash flow analysis of capital expenditures and free cash flow;

•

financial ratio and market share standing among comparable companies;

•

financial projections: underwriting versus stress case;

•

event specific Maximum Reasonable Adversity credit modeling;

•

future capital expenditure needs and asset sale plans;

•

downside protection to limit losses in an event of default;

•

risk adjusted returns and relative value analysis; and

•

enterprise and asset valuations.

The origination, structuring and credit approval processes are fully integrated. Our credit team is directly involved in all due diligence and analysis prior to the formal credit approval process.

Credit Monitoring

Our management team has significant experience monitoring portfolios of middle market investments and this is enhanced by the credit monitoring procedures of Katonah Debt Advisors. Along with origination and credit analysis, portfolio management is one of the key elements of our business. Most of our investments will not be liquid and, therefore, we must prepare to act quickly if potential issues arise so that we can work closely with the management team and private equity sponsor, if applicable, of the portfolio company to take any necessary remedial action quickly. In addition, most of our senior management team, including the credit team at Katonah Debt Advisors, have substantial workout and restructuring experience.

In order to assist us in detecting issues with portfolio companies as early as possible, we perform a monthly financial analysis of each portfolio company. This analysis may include:

•

reviewing financial statements with comparisons to prior year financial statements, as well as the current budget including key financial ratios such as debt/EBITDA, margins and fixed charge coverage;

•

independently computing and verifying compliance with financial covenants;

•

reviewing and analyzing monthly borrowing base, if any;

•

a monthly discussion of MD&A with company management and, if applicable, the private equity sponsor;

•

determining if current performance could cause future financial covenant default;

•

discussing prospects with the private equity sponsor, if applicable;

•

determining if a portfolio company should be added to our “watch list” (companies to be reviewed in more depth);

•

reviewing original underwriting assumptions; and

•

a monthly update to be reviewed by both the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer.

Investment Securities

We invest in senior secured loans, mezzanine debt and, to a lesser extent, equity of middle market companies in a variety of industries. We generally target companies that generate positive cash flows because we look to cash flows as the primary source for servicing debt. As of December 31, 2009, together with our wholly-owned portfolio company Katonah Debt Advisors, we had a staff of 18 investment professionals who specialize in specific industries and generally seek to invest in companies about which we have direct expertise. However, we may invest in industries in which we currently have little or no investment if we are presented with attractive opportunities. For more information regarding our investments in CLO Funds, see “—Investment Securities,” above.

CLO Fund Securities

As of December 31, 2009, we had $49 million, invested in CLO Fund securities, including those issued by funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors. CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors invest primarily in broadly syndicated non-investment grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments of corporate issuers. The underlying assets in each of the CLO Funds in which we have an investment are generally diversified secured or unsecured corporate debt and exclude mortgage pools or mortgage securities (residential mortgage bonds, commercial mortgage backed securities, or related asset-backed securities), debt to companies providing mortgage lending and emerging markets investments.

The CLO Funds are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or “excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities in the fund less payments made to senior bond holders, fund expenses and management fees) is paid to us and the other holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated securities or preferred shares based on the proportionate share of such class.

The securities issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors are primarily held by third parties. As of December 31, 2009, we had $45 million invested at fair value in five Katonah Debt Advisors managed CLO Funds. We typically make a minority investment in the subordinated securities or preferred shares of CLO Funds raised and managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and may selectively invest in securities issued by CLO Funds managed by other asset management companies. For more information regarding our investment securities, see “—Investment Portfolio—Investment in CLO Fund Securities.”

As a separately taxable corporation, Katonah Debt Advisors is taxed at normal corporate rates. For tax purposes, any distributions of taxable net income earned by Katonah Debt Advisors to us would generally need to be distributed to our stockholders. Katonah Debt Advisors’ taxable net income differs from GAAP net income because of deferred tax timing adjustments and permanent tax adjustments. Deferred tax timing adjustments may include differences for the recognition and timing of depreciation, bonuses to employees and stock option expense. Permanent differences may include adjustments, limitations or disallowances for meals and entertainment expenses, penalties and tax goodwill amortization.

Goodwill amortizable for tax purposes was created upon the purchase of 100% of the equity interests in Katonah Debt Advisors prior to our IPO in exchange for shares of our stock valued at $33 million. Although this transaction was a stock transaction rather than an asset purchase, and thus no goodwill was recognized for GAAP purposes, such exchange was considered a taxable asset purchase under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). At the time of the transfer, Katonah Debt Advisors had equity of approximately $1 million resulting in tax goodwill of approximately $32 million which will be amortized for tax purposes on a straight-line basis over 15 years, which accounts for an annual difference between GAAP income and taxable income of approximately $2 million per year over such period. For more information regarding our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors, see “—Investment Portfolio—Katonah Debt Advisors.”

Revenues

We generate revenue in the form of interest income on debt securities and capital gains, if any, on warrants or other equity-related securities that we acquire from our portfolio companies. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment and facility fees and, to a lesser extent, due diligence fees. Any such fees will be generated in connection with our investments and recognized as earned or, in some cases, recognized over the life of the loan. We expect our investments generally to have a term of between five and eight years and bear interest at various rates ranging from 2% to 10% over the prevailing market rates for Treasury securities. Where applicable, we seek to collateralize our investments by obtaining security interests in our portfolio companies’ assets. Interest on debt securities will generally be payable monthly or quarterly, with amortization of principal typically occurring over the term of the security. In those limited instances where we choose to defer amortization of the loan for a period of time from the date of the initial investment, the principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date.

We also generate dividend income from our investment in CLO Fund securities. These are typically the subordinated securities that are the most junior class of securities issued by the CLO Funds and are subordinated in priority of payment to every other class of securities issued by these CLO Funds. Dividends on CLO Fund securities are generally paid quarterly.

Expenses

Because we are an internally managed BDC, we incur the costs associated with employing investment management professionals and other employees as well as running our operations. Our primary non-interest expenses include employee salaries and benefits, the costs of identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing, monitoring and servicing our investments and our related overhead charges and expenses, including rental expense and interest expense incurred in connection with borrowings. Because we are internally managed, we do not pay any management fees to any third party.

Our Strategic Relationship with Kohlberg & Co.

We believe that we derive substantial benefits from our strategic relationship with Kohlberg & Co. The co-managing partners of Kohlberg & Co. are members of our Board of Directors and are also members of our Investment Committee. Through such participation, we have access to the expertise of these individuals in middle market and leveraged investing, which we believe enhances our capital raising, due diligence, investment selection and credit analysis activities. Affiliates of Kohlberg & Co., including those who serve and have served on our Board of Directors and our Investment Committee, own, in the aggregate, approximately 15% of our outstanding common stock. Kohlberg & Co. is a leading U.S. private equity firm which manages investment funds that acquire middle market companies. Since its founding in 1987, Kohlberg & Co. has organized six private equity funds, through which it has raised approximately $3.5 billion of committed capital and completed more than 80 platform and add-on acquisitions with an aggregate value of approximately $8 billion.

Because we are an internally managed BDC, we do not pay any fees to Kohlberg & Co. or any of its affiliates. Under the 1940 Act, we are generally prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to any portfolio company of a private equity fund managed by Kohlberg & Co. without the prior approval of the SEC. However, we may co-invest on a concurrent basis with Kohlberg & Co. or any of our affiliates, subject to compliance with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only if we receive an order from the SEC permitting us to do so. There can be no assurance that any such order will be applied for or, if applied for, obtained.

LEVERAGE

In addition to funds available from the issuance of our common stock, we use borrowed funds, known as “leverage,” to make investments in an attempt to increase returns to our shareholders by reducing our overall cost of capital. As a BDC, we are limited in the amount of leverage we can incur under the 1940 Act. We are only allowed to borrow amounts if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% immediately after such borrowing. We may also borrow amounts of up to 5% of the value of our total assets for temporary purposes. The amount of leverage that we employ at any time depends on our assessment of the market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. As of December 31, 2009, we had $218 million of outstanding borrowings and our asset coverage ratio was 198%, below the minimum asset coverage level generally required by the 1940 Act for a BDC to incur new debt, primarily as a result of unrealized fair value losses on our investments. Until the minimum asset coverage level is met, we will be unable to incur additional debt (other than certain temporary debt) or issue securities senior to our common stock. As a result, we will be limited in our ability to raise capital to make new investments until our asset coverage ratio exceeds 200%. However, because we have no public debt or preferred stock outstanding, failure to maintain asset coverage of at least 200% will not limit our ability, under the 1940 Act, to pay dividends from our net investment income.

On February 14, 2007, we entered into a LFSA under which we had a right to obtain up to $200 million in financing. On October 1, 2007, we amended the Facility to increase our borrowing capacity from $200 million to $275 million, extend the maturity date from February 12, 2012 to October 1, 2012 and increase the interest spread charged on outstanding borrowings by 15 basis points to 0.85%. In addition, the amendment revised the method for determining the required equity contribution from Kohlberg Capital to KCAP Funding. Advances under the Facility (to the extent available to us) are used primarily to make additional investments. As described further below, we have not drawn on the Facility since August 2008.

The Facility is secured by loans acquired by us with the advances under the Facility. We borrow under the Facility through our wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, KCAP Funding. Under the Facility, funds are loaned by BMO Capital Markets Corp. (through its affiliate Fairway Finance Company, LLC) and Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (through its affiliate

Riverside Funding LLC), the pro-rata lenders, based on prevailing commercial paper rates or, if the commercial paper market is at any time unavailable, at prevailing LIBOR rates, in each case plus an applicable spread.

Under the Facility, we are subject to limitations as to how borrowed funds may be used, including restrictions on geographic and industry concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, average life, collateral interests and investment ratings. The Facility also includes certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, including required minimum portfolio yield and limitations on delinquencies and charge-offs, a violation of which could result in the early amortization of the Facility, limit further advances and, in some cases, result in an event of default. The interest charged on borrowed funds is based on prevailing commercial paper rates plus 0.85% or, if the commercial paper market is at any time unavailable, prevailing LIBOR rates plus an applicable spread. The interest charged on borrowed funds is payable monthly. We paid a one-time, 0.50% structuring fee at the time we entered into the Facility, as well as a one-time, 1% structuring fee on the $75 million increase in borrowing availability under the Facility at the time we entered into the Facility amendment. Additionally, we are also required to pay an annual commitment fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.225% for any unused portion of the Facility.

range of potential damages recoverable by the Company and the Borrower or their exposure associated with this litigation can be determined at this time. There can be no assurance that in connection with such lawsuit or otherwise the Agent and the lenders will not assert additional breaches of the LFSA, including breaches relating to the restatement described elsewhere in this Annual Report, and there can be no assurance that the Agent and the lenders will not assert that any such breaches give rise to a Termination Event. While the Company and the Borrower believe that they have meritorious claims against the Agent and the lenders in the pending lawsuit and, as a result, the breaches alleged by the Agent and the lenders are not valid in accordance with the terms of the LFSA, there is no assurance that the Company and the Borrower will prevail in such litigation. If the Company and the Borrower do not prevail, the Agent and the lenders may seek to pursue claims based on the alleged breaches, including claims involving a Termination Event. If the Agent and the lenders were to seek to accelerate and seize the collateral either at the end of the amortization period or otherwise, and we were unsuccessful in obtaining court relief, we could be forced to pay the remaining balance of the Facility (approximately $187 million as of April 30, 2010), which would adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and the Notes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report for further information relating to the LFSA and the complaint.

COMPETITION

Our primary competitors provide financing to prospective portfolio companies and include commercial banks, specialty finance companies, hedge funds, structured investment funds and investment banks. Many of these entities have greater financial and managerial resources than we have, and the 1940 Act imposes certain regulatory restrictions on us as a BDC to which many of our competitors are not subject. For additional information concerning the competitive risks we face, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities.”

We believe that we provide a unique combination of an experienced middle market origination and credit team, an existing credit platform at Katonah Debt Advisors that includes experienced lenders with broad industry expertise and an Investment Committee that includes co-managing partners of Kohlberg & Co., a leading experienced and successful middle market private equity firm. We believe that this combination of resources assists with developing a thorough credit process and multiple sources of investment opportunities to enhance our asset selection process.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

We believe that we can successfully compete with other providers of capital in the markets in which we compete for the following reasons:

•

Internally managed structure and significant management resources. We are internally managed by our executive officers under the supervision of our Board of Directors and do not depend on a third party investment advisor. As a result, we do not pay investment advisory fees and all of our income is available to pay our operating costs and to make distributions to our stockholders.

•

Multiple sourcing capabilities for assets. We have multiple sources of loans, mezzanine investments and equity investments through our industry relationships, Katonah Debt Advisors and our strategic relationship with Kohlberg & Co.

•

Disciplined investment process. We employ a rigorous credit review process and due diligence intensive investment strategy which our senior management has developed over more than 20 years of lending. For each analyzed company, we develop our own underwriting case and multiple stress case scenarios and an event-specific financial model reflecting company, industry and market variables. Generally, both we and the CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors have decided not to invest in highly leveraged or “covenant light” credit facilities.

•

Katonah Debt Advisors’ credit platform. Katonah Debt Advisors serves as a source of our direct investment opportunities and cash flow, and certain credit analysts employed by Katonah Debt Advisors who also serve as officers of the Company serve as a resource for credit analysis.

•

Investments in a wide variety of portfolio companies in a number of different industries with no direct exposure to mortgage-backed securities. Our investment portfolio (excluding our investments in Katonah Debt Advisors and CLO Fund

securities) is spread across 26 different industries and 74 different entities with an average balance per investment of approximately $4 million. Our investment portfolio as well as the investment portfolios of the CLO Funds in which we have invested and the investment portfolios of the CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors consist exclusively of credit instruments and other securities issued by companies and do not include any asset-backed securities secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other consumer borrowings.

•

Strategic relationship with Kohlberg & Co. We believe that Kohlberg & Co. is one of the oldest and most well-known private equity firms focused on the middle market, and we expect to continue to derive substantial benefits from our strategic relationship with Kohlberg & Co.

•

Significant equity ownership and alignment of incentives. Our senior management team, the senior management team of Katonah Debt Advisors and affiliates of Kohlberg & Co. together have a significant equity interest in the Company, ensuring that their incentives are strongly aligned with those of our stockholders.

EMPLOYEES

As of April 30, 2010, we had 26 employees.

DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

We determine the NAV per share of our common stock quarterly. The NAV per share is equal to the value of our total assets minus liabilities and preferred stock outstanding divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2009, we did not have any preferred stock outstanding.

Value, as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, is generally (1) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available and (2) for all other securities and assets, fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors pursuant to procedures approved by our Board of Directors. Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment. Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our senior management. The Valuation Committee of our Board of Directors reviews these preliminary valuations and makes recommendations to our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on data from any applicable independent pricing service, input of management, estimates from independent valuation firms (if any) and the recommendations of the Valuation Committee. Where appropriate, the Valuation Committee may utilize an independent valuation firm selected by our Board of Directors. In connection with the restatement described above, we engaged VRC, an independent valuation firm, to provide third-party valuation estimates for approximately 39% and 40% of our investments at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. VRC’s valuation estimates were considered as one of the relevant data inputs in our determination of fair value. The Board of Directors intends to continue to engage an independent valuation firm in the future to provide certain valuation services, including the review of certain portfolio assets, as part of our annual year end valuation process.

Because of the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments determined under our valuation methodology may differ materially from the values that would have existed had a ready market existed for the investments.

There is no single method for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment. Unlike banks, we are not permitted to provide a general reserve for anticipated loan losses. Instead, we must determine the fair value of each individual investment on a quarterly basis. We record unrealized depreciation on investments when we believe that an investment has decreased in value, including where collection of a loan or realization of an equity security is doubtful. Conversely, we record unrealized appreciation if we believe that our investment has appreciated in value.

As a BDC, we invest primarily in illiquid securities, including loans to and warrants of private companies and interests in other illiquid securities, such as interests in the underlying CLO Funds. Our investments are generally subject to restrictions on resale and generally have no established trading market. Because of the type of investments that we make and the nature of our business, our valuation methodology requires an analysis of various factors. Our valuation methodology includes the examination of, among other things, the underlying investment performance, financial condition and market changing events that impact valuation.

With respect to private debt and equity investments, each investment is valued using industry valuation benchmarks, and, where appropriate, such as valuing private warrants, the valuation methodology may incorporate discounts reflecting the illiquid nature of the investment and our minority, non-control position. When a qualifying external event such as a significant purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent loan or warrant sale occurs, the pricing indicated by the external event may be considered in determining our private debt or equity valuation. Securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange are generally valued at the prevailing bid price on the valuation date. However, restricted public securities may be valued at discounts from the public market value due to limitations on our ability to sell the securities.

Our investments in CLO Fund securities are carried at fair value, which is based either on (i) the present value of the net expected cash inflows for interest income and principal repayments from underlying assets and cash outflows for interest expense, debt paydown and other fund costs for the CLO Funds that are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore are selling assets and/or using principal repayments to pay down CLO Fund debt (or will begin to do so shortly), and for which there continue to be net cash distributions to the class of securities owned by us, (ii) the NAV of the CLO Funds that are approaching or are past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore are selling assets and/or using principal repayments to pay down CLO Fund debt (or will begin to do so shortly), and for which there are negligible net cash distributions to the class of securities owned by us, or (iii) a discounted cash flow model for more recent CLO Funds that utilizes prepayment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow and comparable yields for similar securities or preferred shares to those in which we have invested. We recognize unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our investments in CLO Fund securities as comparable yields in the market change and/or based on changes in NAVs or estimated cash flows resulting from changes in prepayment or loss assumptions in the underlying collateral pool. As each investment in CLO Fund securities ages, the expected amount of losses and the expected timing of recognition of such losses in the underlying collateral pool are updated and the revised cash flows are used in determining the fair value of the CLO Fund investments. We determine the fair value of our investments in CLO Fund securities on an individual security-by-security basis.

ELECTION TO BE REGULATED AS A BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY AND A REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANY

Our elections to be regulated as a BDC and to be treated as a RIC have a significant impact on our future operations:

We report our investments at market value or fair value with changes in value reported through our statement of operations.

We report all of our investments, including debt investments, at market value or, for investments that do not have a readily available market value, at their “fair value” as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors pursuant to a valuation methodology approved by our Board of Directors. Changes in these values are reported through our statement of operations under the caption of “net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.” See “—Determination of Net Asset Value.”

Our ability to use leverage as a means of financing our portfolio of investments is limited.

As a BDC, in order to incur new debt, we are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities of at least 200%, as measured immediately after borrowing. For this purpose, senior securities generally include all borrowings, guarantees of borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future. Our ability to utilize leverage as a means of financing our portfolio of investments is limited by this asset coverage test. Our asset coverage ratio was 198% as of December 31, 2009, below the minimum asset coverage level generally required for a BDC by the 1940 Act. See “—Leverage” above.

We intend to distribute substantially all of our net taxable income to our stockholders. We generally will be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes only on the portion of our net taxable income and gains that we do not distribute to stockholders.

We have elected to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2006. As a RIC, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our net investment company income. In addition, we may retain certain net long-term capital gains and elect to treat such net capital gains as distributed to our stockholders. If this happens, our stockholders will be treated as if they received an actual distribution of the capital gains and reinvested the net after-tax proceeds in us. Our stockholders also may be eligible to claim a tax credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability (or, in certain circumstances, a tax refund) equal to their allocable share of the tax we pay on the deemed distribution. See “—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” below.

As a RIC, we generally are required to pay U.S. federal income taxes only on the portion of our net taxable income and gains that we do not distribute (actually or constructively). Katonah Debt Advisors, our wholly-owned taxable portfolio company, receives fee income earned with respect to its management services. Katonah Debt Advisors may in the future form additional direct or indirect subsidiaries which will receive similar fee income. Some of these subsidiaries may be treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and as a result, such subsidiaries will be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates, for U.S. federal and state purposes, although, as a RIC, dividends and distributions of capital received by us from our taxable subsidiaries and distributed to our stockholders will not subject us to U.S. federal income taxes. As a result, the net return to us on such investments held by such subsidiaries will be reduced to the extent that the subsidiaries are subject to income taxes.

In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions. See “—Regulation” below. Also, restrictions and provisions in our Facility may limit our ability to make distributions. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” below.

We are required to comply with the provisions of the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs.

As a BDC, we are required to have a majority of directors who are not “interested” persons under the 1940 Act. In addition, we are required to comply with other applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, including those requiring the adoption of a code of ethics, fidelity bond and custody arrangements. See also “—Regulation” below.

REGULATION

The following discussion is a general summary of some of the material prohibitions and restrictions governing BDCs generally. It does not purport to be a complete description of all the laws and regulations affecting BDCs.

A BDC is a unique kind of investment company that primarily focuses on investing in or lending to private or relatively small publicly traded companies and making managerial assistance available to them. A BDC provides stockholders with the ability to retain the liquidity of a publicly traded stock, while sharing in the possible benefits of investing in emerging-growth or expansion-stage privately-owned companies. The 1940 Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to transactions between BDCs and their directors and officers and principal underwriters and certain other related persons and requires that a majority of the directors be persons other than “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related party transactions. We have implemented certain procedures, both written and unwritten, to ensure that we do not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with us. If such affiliations are found to exist, we seek Board and/or committee review and approval or exemptive relief for such transactions, as appropriate.

In addition, the 1940 Act provides that we may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw our election as, a BDC unless approved by a majority of our outstanding voting securities. A majority of the outstanding voting securities of a company is defined under the 1940 Act as the lesser of (i) 67% or more of such company’s shares present at a meeting or represented by proxy if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such company are present or represented by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such company.

Qualifying Assets

Under the 1940 Act, a BDC may not acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, or “qualifying assets,” unless, at the time the acquisition is made, “qualifying assets” represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets. The principal categories of “qualifying assets” relevant to our business are the following:

•

Securities of an “eligible portfolio company” purchased in transactions not involving any public offering. An “eligible portfolio company” is defined in the 1940 Act as any issuer which:

(a)

is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, the United States;

(b)

is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly-owned by the BDC) or a company that would be an investment company but for certain exclusions under the 1940 Act; and

(c)

satisfies any of the following:

(i)

does not have outstanding any class of securities with respect to which a broker or dealer may extend margin credit;

(ii)

is controlled by a BDC or a group of companies including a BDC and the BDC has an affiliated person who is a director of the eligible portfolio company;

(iii)

is a small and solvent company having total assets of not more than $4 million and capital and surplus of not less than $2 million; or

(iv)

does not have any class of securities listed on a national securities exchange (or, if it has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange, has an aggregate market value of outstanding voting and non-voting common equity of less than $250 million).

•

Securities of any eligible portfolio company that we control;

•

Securities purchased in a private transaction from a U.S. issuer that is not an investment company and is in bankruptcy and subject to reorganization;

•

Securities received in exchange for or distributed on or with respect to securities described above, or pursuant to the conversion of warrants or rights relating to such securities;

•

Cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment; and

•

Under certain circumstances, securities of companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time of the initial investment but that are not eligible portfolio companies at the time of the follow-on investment.

Significant Managerial Assistance

A BDC must be organized and have its principal place of business in the United States and must be operated for the purpose of making investments in the types of securities described above. However, to count portfolio securities as “qualifying assets” for the purpose of the 70% test discussed above, the BDC must either control the issuer of the securities or must offer to make available to the issuer of the securities (other than small and solvent companies described above) significant managerial assistance; except that, where the BDC purchases such securities in conjunction with one or more other persons acting together, one of the other persons in the group may make available such managerial assistance. Making available significant managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted, does so provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company through monitoring of portfolio company operations, selective participation in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising a portfolio company’s officers or other organizational or financial guidance.

Temporary Investments

Pending investment in other types of “qualifying assets,” as described above, our investments may consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, which we refer to, collectively, as temporary investments, so that at least 70% of our assets are “qualifying assets.” Typically, we invest in U.S. treasury bills or in repurchase agreements, provided that such agreements are fully collateralized by cash or securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. A repurchase agreement involves the purchase by an investor, such as us, of a specified security and the simultaneous agreement by the seller to repurchase it at an agreed upon future date and at a price which is greater than the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate. There is no percentage restriction on the proportion of our assets that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, if more than 25% of our total assets constitute repurchase agreements that are treated, under applicable tax rules, as being issued by a single counterparty, we would not meet the diversification tests imposed on us by the Code to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, we do not intend to enter into repurchase agreements treated as issued, under applicable tax rules, by a single counterparty in excess of this limit. We monitor the creditworthiness of the counterparties with which we enter into repurchase agreement transactions.

Senior Securities; Coverage Ratio

We are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to our common stock if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 200% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, with respect to certain types of senior securities, we must make provisions to prohibit any dividend distribution to our stockholders or the repurchase of certain of our securities, unless we meet the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the dividend distribution or repurchase. We may also borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of our total assets for temporary purposes. For a discussion of the risks associated with the resulting leverage, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—The debt we incur could increase the risk of investing in our Company.” Our asset coverage ratio was 198% as of December 31, 2009, below the minimum asset coverage level generally required for a BDC by the 1940 Act. See “—Leverage.”

Code of Ethics

We adopted and maintain a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act that establishes procedures for personal investments and restricts certain personal securities transactions. Personnel subject to the code may invest in securities for their personal investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by us, so long as such investments are made in accordance with the code’s requirements. We may be prohibited under the 1940 Act from conducting certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of our directors who are not interested persons and, in some cases, the prior approval of the SEC. A copy of the code of ethics is available on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website at www.kohlbergcap.com.

Privacy Principles

We are committed to maintaining the privacy of our stockholders and safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help you understand what personal information we collect, how we protect that information and why, in certain cases, we may share information with select other parties.

Generally, we do not receive any non-public personal information relating to our stockholders, although some non-public personal information of our stockholders may become available to us. We do not disclose any non-public personal information about our stockholders or former stockholders to anyone, except as is necessary to service stockholder accounts, such as to a transfer agent, or as otherwise permitted by law.

We restrict access to non-public personal information about our stockholders to our employees with a legitimate business need for the information. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the non-public personal information of our stockholders.

Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures

Although most of the securities we hold are not voting securities, some of our investments may entitle us to vote proxies. We vote proxies relating to our portfolio securities in the best interest of our stockholders. We review on a case-by-case basis each proposal submitted to a stockholder vote to determine its impact on the portfolio securities held by us. Although we generally vote against proposals that we believe may have a negative impact on our portfolio securities, we may vote for such a proposal if we believe there exists a compelling long-term reason to do so.

Our proxy voting decisions are made by our Investment Committee, which is responsible for monitoring each of our investments. To ensure that our vote is not the product of a conflict of interest, we require that (1) anyone involved in the decision making process disclose to our Chief Compliance Officer any potential conflict that he or she is aware of and any contact that he or she has had with any interested party regarding a proxy vote; and (2) employees involved in the decision making process or vote administration are prohibited from revealing how we intend to vote on a proposal to reduce any attempted influence from interested parties.

Other

We are periodically examined by the SEC for compliance with the 1940 Act.

We do not “concentrate” our investments, that is, invest 25% or more of our assets in any particular industry (determined at the time of investment).

We are required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect us against larceny and embezzlement. Furthermore, as a BDC, we are prohibited from indemnifying any director or officer against any liability to our stockholders arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office.

We are required to adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violation of the federal securities laws and to review these policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation. We have a designated Chief Compliance Officer who is responsible for administering these policies and procedures.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to us and to an investment in our shares. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of the income tax considerations applicable to such an investment. For example, we have not described tax consequences that we assume to be generally known by investors or certain considerations that may be relevant to certain types of holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including stockholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, dealers in securities, pension plans and trusts, and financial institutions. This summary assumes that investors hold our common stock as capital assets (within the meaning of the Code). The discussion is based upon the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations, each as in effect as of the date of this filing and all of which are subject to change, possibly retroactively, which could affect the continuing validity of this discussion. This summary does not discuss any aspects of U.S. estate, gift, state, local or non-U.S. tax. It does not discuss the special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws that could result if we invested in tax-exempt securities or certain other investment assets in which we do not currently intend to invest.

A “U.S. stockholder” generally is a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock who is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

a citizen or individual resident of the United States including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or meets the “substantial presence” test in Section 7701(b) of the Code;

•

a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

•

a trust over the administration of which a court in the U.S. has primary supervision or over which U.S. persons have control; or

•

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.

A “Non-U.S. stockholder” is a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock that is neither a U.S. stockholder nor a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A prospective stockholder who is a partner of a partnership holding shares of our common stock should consult his, her or its tax advisors with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock.

Tax matters are very complicated and the tax consequences to an investor of an investment in our shares will depend on the facts of his, her or its particular situation. We encourage investors to consult their tax advisors regarding the specific consequences of such an investment, including tax reporting requirements, the applicability of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws, eligibility for the benefits of any applicable tax treaty and the effect of any possible changes in the tax laws.

Election to be Taxed as a Regulated Investment Company

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2006. As a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income or gains that we timely distribute to our stockholders as dividends. To qualify for treatment as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements (as described below). In addition, to qualify for treatment as a RIC, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally the sum of our ordinary taxable income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses (the “Annual Distribution Requirement”), for such year.

Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company

For any taxable year in which we qualify as a RIC and satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain (i.e., net realized long-term capital gains in excess of net realized short-term capital losses) we distribute to stockholders with respect to that year. We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular corporate rates on any net ordinary income or capital gain not distributed to our stockholders. In addition, as a RIC, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain net taxable undistributed income unless we distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98% of our capital gain net income for the 1-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any such amounts realized, but not distributed, in respect of the preceding year. We will not be subject to excise taxes on amounts on which we are required to pay corporate income tax (such as retained net capital gains, described below). We currently intend to make sufficient distributions each taxable year and/or pay sufficient corporate income tax to avoid any excise tax liability, although we reserve the right to pay an excise tax rather than make an additional distribution when circumstances warrant (e.g., the payment of an excise tax amount that we deem to be de minimis).

To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in addition to satisfying the Annual Distribution Requirement, we must, among other things:

•

have in effect at all times during each taxable year an election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act;

•

in each taxable year, derive at least 90% of our gross income from (a) dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale of stock or other securities, or other income derived with respect to our business of investing in such stock or securities and (b) net income derived from an interest in a “qualified publicly traded partnership” (as defined by the Code) (all such income “Qualifying Income”); and

•

diversify our holdings so that at the end of each quarter of the taxable year: (i) at least 50% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs, and other securities if such other securities of any one issuer do not represent more than 5% of the value of our assets and more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and (ii) no more than 25% of the value of our assets is invested (a) in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of other RICs, of one issuer or of two or more issuers that are controlled, as determined under applicable tax rules, by us and that are engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses, or (b) in one or more “qualified publicly traded partnerships” (the “Diversification Tests”).

We conduct the business of Katonah Debt Advisors through direct or indirect subsidiaries. Some of our subsidiaries are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, such subsidiaries will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates. We will recognize income from these subsidiaries to the extent that we receive dividends and distributions of capital from these subsidiaries. Some of the wholly-owned subsidiaries may be treated as disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, we may directly recognize fee income earned by these subsidiaries. Fee income that we recognize directly through entities that are treated as disregarded entities for U.S. federal tax purposes will generally not constitute Qualifying Income. We intend to monitor our recognition of fee income to ensure that at least 90% of our gross income in each taxable year is Qualifying Income.

We may be required to recognize taxable income in circumstances in which we do not receive cash. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments with PIK interest or, in certain cases, with increasing interest rates or that are issued with warrants), we must include in income each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by us in the same taxable year. Because any original issue discount accrued will be included in our investment company taxable income for the year of accrual, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, even though we will not have received an amount of cash that corresponds with the income accrued.

However, pursuant to guidance issued in 2009 and thereafter by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), under certain circumstances it is possible for us to meet the Annual Distribution Requirement for 2009, 2010 and 2011, even though we limit how much cash (and other property which is not our stock) that we distribute in the aggregate to our stockholders (which limit can be as low as 10% of each qualifying distribution) when compared to how much cash (and other property which is not our stock) that we would need to distribute for us to meet the Annual Distribution Requirement without relying on such guidance (a “qualifying limited-cash distribution”). The portion of a qualifying limited-cash distribution that does not consist of cash (and other property which is not our stock) will be in the form of shares of our stock (based on a market-price valuation method determined pursuant to such guidance). While we have not made any qualifying limited-cash distributions to date as permitted by the IRS guidance, we reserve the right to consider making such distributions in the future, subject to compliance with applicable tax requirements. The IRS guidance is in effect for distributions declared on or before December 31, 2012 with respect to taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2011.

We could also be subject to a U.S. federal income tax (including interest charges) on distributions received from investments in passive foreign investment companies “PFICs” (defined below) or on proceeds received from the disposition of shares in PFICs, which tax cannot be eliminated by making distributions to our stockholders. Very generally, a PFIC is any non-U.S. corporation in which (i) 75% or more of the gross income for the taxable year is passive income, or (ii) the average percentage of the assets (generally by value, but by adjusted tax basis in certain cases) that produce or are held for the production of passive income is at least 50%. Generally, passive income for this purpose means dividends, interest (including income equivalent to interest), royalties, rents, annuities, the excess of gains over losses from certain property transactions and commodities transactions, and foreign currency gains. Passive income for this purpose does not include rents and royalties received by the non-U.S. corporation from active business and certain income received from related persons. We may elect to avoid the imposition of that tax. For instance, if we are in a position to treat and so treat such a PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” (“QEF”) we will be required to include in our income annually our share of the company’s income and net capital gain, regardless of whether we receive any distribution from the company. Alternately, we may make an election to mark the gains (and to a limited extent losses) in such holdings “to the market” as though we had sold and repurchased our holdings in those PFICs on the last day of our taxable year. Such gains and losses are treated as ordinary income and loss. The QEF and mark-to-market elections may have the effect of accelerating the recognition of income (without the receipt of cash) and increasing the amount required to be distributed for us to avoid taxation.

We may also invest in “controlled foreign corporations” (“CFCs”). Generally, a non-U.S. corporation will be a CFC if “U.S. Shareholders” (i.e., each U.S. investor that owns (directly or by attribution) 10% or more of the interests in the non-U.S. corporation (by vote)) own (directly or by attribution) more than 50% (by vote or value) of the outstanding interests of the non-U.S. corporation. If we are a U.S. Shareholder with respect to a non-U.S. corporation, we will be required each year to include in income our pro rata share of the corporation’s “Subpart F income” (as defined in the Code), regardless of whether or not such income is distributed by the CFC to us. Net losses by a CFC during a tax year will not flow through to us and thus will not be available to offset income or gains generated from our other investments. Therefore, investments in CFCs may have the effect of accelerating the recognition of income (without the receipt of cash) and increasing the amount required to be distributed for us to avoid taxation.

We are authorized to borrow funds and to sell assets to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement and to avoid any excise tax liability. However, depending on the types of debt and equity securities we have outstanding, we may be prohibited under the 1940 Act from making distributions to our stockholders while our debt obligations and other senior securities are outstanding unless certain “asset coverage” tests are met. See “—Regulation—Senior Securities; Coverage Ratio.” Moreover, our ability to dispose of assets to meet the Annual Distribution Requirement and to avoid any U.S. federal income tax or excise tax liability may be limited by (1) the illiquid nature of our portfolio, or (2) other requirements relating to our tax treatment as a RIC, including the Diversification Tests. If we dispose of assets to meet the Annual Distribution Requirements and to avoid any excise tax liability, we may make such dispositions at times that, from an investment standpoint, are not advantageous.

Gain or loss realized by us from the sale or exchange of warrants acquired by us as well as any loss attributable to the lapse of such warrants generally will be treated as capital gain or loss. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term or short-term, depending on how long we held a particular warrant. Our transactions in options, futures contracts, hedging transactions and forward contracts will be subject to special tax rules, the effect of which may be to accelerate income to us, defer losses, cause adjustments to the

holding periods of our investments, convert long-term capital gains into short-term capital gains, convert short-term capital losses into long-term capital losses or have other tax consequences. These rules could affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to stockholders. We do not currently intend to engage in these types of transactions.

A RIC is not permitted to deduct expenses in excess of its “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, ordinary income plus net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses). If our expenses in a given year exceed investment company taxable income (e.g., as the result of large amounts of equity-based compensation), we would experience a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent years. In addition, expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain (that is, the excess of net long-term capital gains over the net short-term capital losses). Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses, we may for tax purposes have aggregate taxable income over a period of several years that we are required to distribute and that is taxable to our stockholders even if such income is greater than the net income we actually earned during those years in the aggregate. Such required distributions may be made from our cash assets or by liquidation of investments, if necessary. We may realize gains or losses from such liquidations. In the event we realize net capital gains from such transactions, you may receive a larger capital gain distribution than you would have received in the absence of such transactions. Assuming we qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, our corporate-level U.S. federal income tax should be substantially reduced or eliminated, and, as explained below in “—Taxation of U.S. Stockholders,” a portion of our distributions or deemed distributions may be characterized as long-term capital gain in the hands of stockholders. Except as otherwise provided, the remainder of this discussion assumes that we qualify for tax treatment as a RIC and have satisfied the Annual Distribution Requirement.

Failure to Qualify as a Regulated Investment Company

If we were to fail to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would distributions be required to be made. All distributions would be taxable to our stockholders as dividend income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and (if made during a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2011) provided certain holding period and other requirements were met, could potentially qualify for treatment as “qualified dividend income” in the hands of stockholders taxed as individuals eligible for the 15% maximum rate. It is currently unclear whether Congress will extend this provision for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. In addition, subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributees could be eligible for the dividends received deduction with respect to any of our dividend distributions. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. To requalify as a RIC in a subsequent taxable year, we would be required to satisfy the RIC qualification requirements for that year and dispose of any earnings and profits from any year in which we failed to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC. Subject to a limited exception applicable to RICs that qualified as such under Subchapter M of the Code for at least one year prior to disqualification and that requalify as a RIC no later than the second year following the nonqualifying year, we could be subject to tax on any unrealized net built-in gains in the assets held by us during the period in which we failed to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC that are recognized within the subsequent 10 years, unless we made a special election to pay corporate-level tax on such built-in gain at the time of our requalification as a RIC.

Taxation of U.S. Stockholders

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, distributions by us generally are taxable to U.S. stockholders as ordinary income or capital gains. Distributions of our “investment company taxable income” (which is, generally, our ordinary income plus net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses) will be taxable as ordinary income to U.S. stockholders to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional common stock through our dividend reinvestment plan. For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, to the extent such distributions paid by us are attributable to dividends from U.S. corporations and certain qualified non-U.S. corporations, such distributions may be designated by us as “qualified dividend income” eligible to be taxed in the hands of non-corporate stockholders at the rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided holding period and other requirements are met at both the stockholder and company levels. In this regard, it is anticipated that distributions paid by us generally will not be attributable to dividends and, therefore, generally will not be qualified dividend income. Distributions of our net capital gains (which is generally our realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) properly designated by us as “capital gain dividends” will be taxable to a U.S. stockholder as long-term capital gains, regardless of the U.S. stockholder’s holding period for his, her or its common stock and regardless of whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional common stock. Long-term capital gain rates for individuals have been temporarily reduced to a maximum of 15% for tax years beginning before January 1, 2011. These rates are expected to increase at the end of 2010 to pre-reduction rates (generally, 20% for those in the highest tax brackets) unless Congress enacts legislation providing otherwise. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits first will reduce a U.S. stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in such stockholder’s common stock and, after the adjusted basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gains to such U.S. stockholder.

We may retain some or all of our realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses and designate the retained net capital gains as a “deemed distribution.” In that case, among other consequences, we will pay tax on the retained amount, and (i) each U.S. stockholder will be required to include his, her or its share of the deemed distribution in income as long term capital gain as if it had been actually distributed to the U.S. stockholder, and (ii) the U.S. stockholder will be entitled to claim a credit equal to his, her or its allocable share of the tax paid thereon by us. The amount of the deemed distribution net of such tax will be added to the U.S. stockholder’s cost basis for his, her or its common stock. Since we expect to pay tax on any retained net capital gains at our regular corporate tax rate (currently 35%), and since that rate is generally in excess of the maximum rate currently payable by individuals on long-term capital gains (currently 15%), the amount of tax that individual stockholders will be treated as having paid and for which they will receive a credit may exceed the tax they owe on the deemed distribution. Long-term capital gain rates for individuals have been temporarily reduced to a maximum of 15% for tax years beginning before January 1, 2011. These rates are expected to increase at the end of 2010 to pre-reduction rates (generally, 20% for those in the highest tax brackets) unless Congress enacts legislation providing otherwise. Such excess generally may be claimed as a credit against the U.S. stockholder’s other federal income tax obligations or may be refunded to the extent it exceeds a stockholder’s liability for U.S. federal income tax. A stockholder that is not subject to U.S. federal income tax or otherwise required to file a U.S. federal income tax return generally would be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return or related form on the appropriate form to claim a refund for the taxes we paid. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax basis of shares owned by a stockholder generally will be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the amount of undistributed capital gains included in the stockholder’s gross income and the tax deemed paid by the stockholder as described in this paragraph. To utilize the deemed distribution approach, we must provide written notice to our stockholders prior to the expiration of 60 days after the close of the relevant taxable year. We cannot treat any of our investment company taxable income as a “deemed distribution.” We may also make actual distributions to our stockholders of some or all of realized net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses.

For purposes of determining (1) whether the Annual Distribution Requirement is satisfied for any year and (2) the amount of capital gain dividends paid for that year, we may, under certain circumstances, elect to treat a dividend that is paid during the following taxable year as if it had been paid during the taxable year in question. If we make such an election, the U.S. stockholder will still be treated as receiving the dividend in the taxable year in which the distribution is made. However, any dividend declared by us in October, November or December of any calendar year, payable to stockholders of record on a specified date in such a month and actually paid during January of the following year, will be treated as if it had been received by our U.S. stockholders on December 31 of the year in which the dividend was declared. A U.S. stockholder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss if the U.S. stockholder sells or otherwise disposes of his, her or its shares of our common stock. Any gain arising from such sale generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. stockholder has held his, her or its shares for more than one year. Otherwise, it will be classified as short-term capital gain or loss. However, any capital loss arising from the sale of shares of our common stock held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends received, or undistributed capital gain deemed received, with respect to such shares. In addition, all or a portion of any loss recognized upon a disposition of shares of our common stock may be disallowed if other shares of our common stock are purchased (whether through reinvestment of distributions or otherwise) within 30 days before or after the disposition. In such a case, the basis of the newly purchased shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, individual U.S. stockholders are subject to a maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of 15% on their net capital gain (i.e., the excess of realized net long-term capital gain over realized net short-term capital loss for a taxable year) including any long-term capital gain derived from an investment in our shares. Such rate is generally lower than the maximum rate on ordinary income currently payable by individuals. Long-term capital gain rates for individuals have been temporarily reduced to a maximum of 15% for tax years beginning before January 1, 2011. These rates are expected to increase at the end of 2010 to pre-reduction rates (generally, 20% for those in the highest tax brackets) unless Congress enacts legislation providing otherwise. Non-corporate stockholders with net capital losses for a year (i.e., capital losses in excess of capital gains) generally may deduct up to $3,000 of such losses against their ordinary income each year ($1,500 for married individuals filing separately); any net capital losses of a non-corporate stockholder in excess of $3,000 ($1,500 for married individuals filing separately) generally may be carried forward and used in subsequent years as provided in the Code. Corporate stockholders generally may not deduct any net capital losses for a year, but may carry back such losses for three years or carry forward such losses for five years.

Distributions are generally taxable to stockholders even if they are paid from income or gains earned by us before a stockholder’s investment (and thus were included in the price the stockholder paid). If an investor purchases shares of our common stock shortly before the record date of a distribution, the price of the shares will include the value of the distribution and the investor will be subject to tax on the distribution even though economically, it may represent a return of his, her or its investment. Distributions

are taxable whether stockholders receive them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares through the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. A stockholder whose distributions are reinvested in shares will be treated as having received a dividend equal to either (i) the fair market value of the shares issued to the stockholder (if we issue new shares), or (ii) the amount of cash allocated to the stockholder for the purchase of shares on its behalf (if we purchase shares on the open market). We will send to each of our U.S. stockholders, as promptly as possible after the end of each calendar year, a notice detailing, on a per share and per distribution basis, the amounts includible in such U.S. stockholder’s taxable income for such year as ordinary income and as long-term capital gain. In addition, the U.S. federal tax status of each year’s distributions generally will be reported to the IRS (including the amount of dividends, if any, eligible for the 15% “qualified dividend income” rate). Distributions may also be subject to additional U.S. state, local and non-U.S. taxes depending on a U.S. stockholder’s particular situation. Dividends distributed by us generally will not be eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction or the preferential rate applicable to “qualified dividend income.”

We may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax (“backup withholding”), currently at a rate of 28% for amounts paid through 2010, from all distributions to any non-corporate U.S. stockholder (1) who fails to furnish us with a correct taxpayer identification number or a certificate that such stockholder is exempt from backup withholding, or (2) with respect to whom the IRS notifies us that such stockholder has failed to properly report certain interest and dividend income to the IRS and to respond to notices to that effect. An individual’s taxpayer identification number is his or her social security number. The 28% rate will expire for amounts paid after December 31, 2010 and instead the backup withholding rate on such amounts will be 31% unless Congress enacts legislation providing otherwise. It is currently unclear whether such legislation will be enacted and, if enacted, what the terms of the extension will be. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under backup withholding may be allowed as a credit against the U.S. stockholder’s federal income tax liability, provided that proper information is provided to the IRS.

Under Treasury regulations, if a stockholder recognizes a loss with respect to our shares of $2 million or more for an individual stockholder or $10 million for a corporate stockholder, the stockholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on Form 8886. Direct stockholders of portfolio securities are in many cases excepted from this reporting requirement, but under current guidance, stockholders of a RIC are not excepted. Future guidance may extend the current exception from this reporting requirement to stockholders of most or all RICs. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether a taxpayer’s treatment of the loss is proper. Stockholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders

Whether an investment in the shares is appropriate for a non-U.S. stockholder will depend upon that person’s particular circumstances. Non-U.S. stockholders should consult their tax advisors before investing in our common stock. In general, dividend distributions (other than certain distributions derived from net long-term capital gains, and, if certain pending legislation is enacted as described below, certain interest income and short term capital gains) paid by us to a non-U.S. stockholder are subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) even if they are funded by income or gains that, if paid to a non-U.S. stockholder directly, would not be subject to withholding. If the distributions are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the non-U.S. stockholder, (and, if an income tax treaty applies, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States), we will not be required to withhold federal tax if the non-U.S. stockholder complies with applicable certification and disclosure requirements, although the distributions will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. stockholders. (Special certification requirements apply to a non-U.S. stockholder that is a non-U.S. partnership or a non-U.S. trust and such entities are urged to consult their tax advisors.) For taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2010 (and for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, if pending legislation discussed below is enacted), except as provided below, we were generally not required to withhold any amounts with respect to certain distributions of (1) U.S.-source interest income that meets certain requirements (“interest-related dividends”), and (2) net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses (“short-term capital gain dividends”), in each case to the extent we properly designate such distributions. We generally intend to make such designations. In respect of distributions described in clause (1) above, however, we were required to withhold amounts with respect to distributions to a non-U.S. stockholder:

•

that did not provide a satisfactory statement that the beneficial owner is not a U.S. person;

•

to the extent that the dividend was attributable to certain interest on an obligation if the non-U.S. stockholder was the issuer or was a 10% stockholder of the issuer;

•

that was within certain non-U.S. countries that had inadequate information exchange with the United States; or

•

to the extent the dividend was attributable to interest paid by a person that was a related person of the non-U.S. stockholder and the non-U.S. stockholder was a “controlled foreign corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Pending legislation proposes to extend retroactively the exemption from withholding for interest-related dividends and short-term capital gain dividends for one additional year, i.e., for dividends with respect to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2010 but before January 1, 2011. It is currently unclear whether such legislation will be enacted and, if enacted, what the terms of the extension will be. If such legislation is enacted, we generally intend to make designations of interest-related dividends and short-term capital gain dividends.

Actual or deemed distributions of our net capital gain to a non-U.S. stockholder, and gains realized by a non-U.S. stockholder upon the sale of our common stock, generally will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax and generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless (i) the distributions or gain, as the case may be, are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the non-U.S. stockholder (and, if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. stockholder in the U.S.), or (ii) in the case of an individual stockholder, the stockholder is present in the U.S. for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the year of the sale or the receipt of a capital gain dividend and certain other conditions are met. If we distribute our net capital gain in the form of deemed rather than actual distributions, a non-U.S. stockholder will be entitled to a U.S. federal income tax credit and/or tax refund, as applicable, equal to the stockholder’s allocable share of the tax we pay on the capital gains deemed to have been distributed. To obtain the refund, the non-U.S. stockholder must obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number and file a U.S. federal income tax return even if the non-U.S. stockholder would not otherwise be required to obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number or file a U.S. federal income tax return. For a corporate non-U.S. stockholder, distributions (both actual and deemed), and gains realized upon the sale of our common stock that are effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or at a lower rate if provided for by an applicable treaty).

A non-U.S. stockholder who is a non-resident alien individual, and who is otherwise subject to withholding of U.S. federal tax, will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on dividends unless the non-U.S. stockholder provides us or the dividend paying agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN (or an acceptable substitute or successor form) or otherwise meets documentary evidence requirements for establishing that it is a non-U.S. stockholder or otherwise establishes an exemption from backup withholding. Investment in the shares may not be appropriate for a non-U.S. stockholder. Non-U.S. persons should consult their tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal income tax and withholding tax, and state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of an investment in the shares.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash as provided below. As a result, if our Board of Directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend, then our stockholders who have not “opted out” of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving cash.

No action is required on the part of a registered stockholder to have their cash dividend reinvested in shares of our common stock. A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire dividend in cash by notifying American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the plan administrator and our transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator no later than the record date for dividends to stockholders. The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired through the plan for each stockholder who has not elected to receive dividends in cash and hold such shares in non-certificated form. Upon request by a stockholder participating in the plan, received in writing not less than ten days prior to the record date, the plan administrator will, instead of crediting shares to the participant’s account, issue a certificate registered in the participant’s name for the number of whole shares of our common stock and a check for any fractional share.

Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive dividends in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

We intend to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the plan, whether our shares are trading at a premium or at a discount to NAV. However, we reserve the right to purchase shares in the open market in connection with our implementation of the plan. The number of shares to be issued to a stockholder is determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of our common stock at the close of regular trading on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on the dividend payment date. Market price per share on that date will be the closing price for such shares on The NASDAQ Global Select Market or, if no sale is reported for such day, at the average of their reported bid and asked prices. The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after giving effect to payment of the dividend cannot be established until the value per share at which additional shares will be issued has been determined and elections of our stockholders have been tabulated.

There are no brokerage charges or other charges to stockholders who participate in the plan. The plan administrator’s fees under the plan are paid by us. If a participant elects by written notice to the plan administrator to have the plan administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the plan administrator in the participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan administrator is authorized to deduct a $15.00 transaction fee plus a $0.10 per share brokerage commission from the proceeds.

If your dividends are reinvested, you will be required to pay tax on the distributions in the same manner as if the distributions were received in cash. The taxation of dividends will not be affected by the form in which you receive them. See “—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Participants may terminate their accounts under the plan by notifying the plan administrator via its website at www.amstock.com, by filling out the transaction request form located at bottom of their statement and sending it to the plan administrator at the address set forth below or by calling the plan administrator at 1-866-668-8564.

The plan may be terminated by us upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend by us. All correspondence concerning the plan should be directed to, and additional information about the plan may be obtained from, the plan administrator by mail at American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Attn. Dividend Reinvestment Department, P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560 or by telephone at 1-866-668-8564.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The risks set forth below are not the only risks we face. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of our operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the NAV and the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a limited operating history.

We were organized in August 2006 to continue the middle market investment business and asset management business of Katonah Debt Advisors, which was organized in 2005 by Kohlberg & Co. Katonah Debt Advisors commenced its asset management operations with the hiring of E.A. Kratzman, its President (who also serves as our Vice President and a member of our Investment Committee), in June 2005 and began its middle market lending operations in February 2006 with the hiring of Dayl W. Pearson, who serves as our President, CEO and a member of our Board of Directors, and R. Jon Corless, who serves as our Chief Investment Officer. In December 2006, we completed an IPO of our common stock and our common stock was listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. We have a limited operating history. As a result, we have limited operating results which demonstrate our ability to manage our business. We are subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including the risk that we will not achieve our investment objective and that the value of your investment in us could decline substantially.

We are dependent upon senior management for our future success, and if we are unable to hire and retain qualified personnel or if we lose any member of our senior management team, our ability to achieve our investment objective could be significantly harmed.

We depend on the members of our senior management as well as other key personnel for the identification, final selection, structuring, closing and monitoring of our investments. These employees have critical industry experience and relationships that we rely on to implement our business plan. Our future success depends on the continued service of our senior management team and our Board of Directors. The departure of any of the members of our senior management or a significant number of our senior personnel could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our investment objective. As a result, we may not be able to operate our business as we expect, and our ability to compete could be harmed, which could cause our operating results to suffer.

We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities.

A large number of entities compete with us to make the types of investments that we plan to make in prospective portfolio companies. We compete with other BDCs, as well as a large number of investment funds, investment banks and other sources of financing, including traditional financial services companies, such as commercial banks and finance companies. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us. This may enable some of our competitors to make commercial loans with interest rates that are comparable to or lower than the rates we typically offer. We may lose prospective portfolio investments if we do not match our competitors’ pricing, terms and structure. If we do match our competitors’ pricing, terms or structure, we may experience decreased net interest income and increased risk of credit losses. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments, establish more relationships and build their market shares. Furthermore, many of our potential competitors have greater experience operating under, or are not subject to, the regulatory restrictions that the 1940 Act imposes on us as a BDC. As a result of this competition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and take advantage of attractive investment opportunities or that we will be able to fully invest our available capital. If we are not able to compete effectively, our business and financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected. Although Kohlberg & Co. has agreed to notify us of equity investment opportunities that are presented to Kohlberg & Co. but do not fit the investment profile of Kohlberg & Co. or its affiliates, no such referral to date has resulted in an investment by us or Katonah Debt Advisors.

If we are unable to source investments effectively, we may be unable to achieve our investment objective.

Our ability to achieve our investment objective depends on our senior management team’s ability to identify, evaluate, finance and invest in suitable companies that meet our investment criteria. Accomplishing this result on a cost-effective basis is largely a function of our marketing capabilities, our management of the investment process, our ability to provide efficient services and our access to financing sources on acceptable terms. In addition to monitoring the performance of our existing investments, members of our management team and our investment professionals may also be called upon to provide managerial assistance to our portfolio

companies. These demands on their time may distract them or slow the rate of investment. To grow, we need to continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees and to implement computer and other systems capable of effectively accommodating our growth. However, we cannot provide assurance that any such employees will contribute to the success of our business or that we will implement such systems effectively. Failure to manage our future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There is a risk that we may not make distributions.

We intend to continue to make distributions on a quarterly basis to our stockholders. We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at historical or any specific levels or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, depending on the types of debt and equity securities we have outstanding, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions. See “Item 1. Business—Leverage.” Also, restrictions and provisions in our Facility may limit our ability to make distributions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we could fail to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC and we would be subject to corporate level U.S. federal income tax. Furthermore, in accordance with current IRS guidance, we may make distributions under special circumstances that would allow us to meet our annual RIC distribution requirement for 2009 (and perhaps subsequent years) by distributing shares of our stock in lieu of a significant portion of the cash (or other property other than our stock) that we would otherwise be required to distribute to satisfy such distribution requirement. See “Item 1. Business—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.” We cannot ensure that we will make distributions at historical or any other specified levels or at all.

We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash equal to such income.

In accordance with GAAP and the Code, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contracted non-cash PIK interest, which represents contractual interest added to the loan balance and due at the end of the loan term. In addition to the cash yields received on our loans, in some instances, certain loans may also include any of the following: end of term payments, exit fees, balloon payment fees or prepayment fees. The increases in loan balances as a result of contracted non-cash PIK arrangements are included in income for the period in which such non-cash PIK interest was received, which is often in advance of receiving cash payment, and are separately identified on our statements of cash flows. We also may be required to include in income certain other amounts that we will not receive in cash. Any warrants that we receive in connection with our debt investments generally are valued as part of the negotiation process with the particular portfolio company. As a result, a portion of the aggregate purchase price for the debt investments and warrants is allocated to the warrants that we receive. This generally results in “original issue discount” for tax purposes, which we must recognize as ordinary income, increasing the amounts we are required to distribute to qualify as a RIC eligible for pass-through tax treatment. Because such original issue discount income might exceed the amount of cash received in a given year with respect to such investment, we might need to obtain cash from other sources to satisfy such distribution requirements. Other features of the debt instruments that we hold may also cause such instruments to generate original issue discount, resulting in a dividend distribution requirement in excess of current cash received. Since in certain cases we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty meeting the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any. If we are unable to meet these distribution requirements, we will not qualify for tax treatment as a RIC or, even if such distribution requirement is satisfied, we may be subject to tax on the amount that is undistributed. Accordingly, we may have to sell some of our assets, raise additional debt or equity securities or reduce new investment originations to meet these distribution requirements and avoid tax. See “Item 1. Business—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

We may incur losses as a result of “first loss” agreements into which we or Katonah Debt Advisors may enter in connection with warehousing credit arrangements which we put in place prior to raising a CLO Fund and pursuant to which we agree to reimburse credit providers for a portion of losses (if any) on warehouse investments.

We and Katonah Debt Advisors have in the past entered, and may in the future enter, into “first loss” agreements in connection with warehouse credit lines to be established by Katonah Debt Advisors to fund the initial accumulation of loan investments for future CLO Funds that Katonah Debt Advisors will manage. Such agreements (referred to as “first loss agreements” or “first loss obligations”) frequently relate to (i) losses as a result of individual loan investments being ineligible for purchase by the CLO Fund (typically due to a payment default on such loan) when such fund formation is completed or, (ii) if the CLO Fund has not been completed before the expiration of the warehouse credit line, the loss (if any, and net of any accumulated interest income) on the resale of such loans funded by the warehouse credit line. As a result, we may incur losses if loans and debt obligations that had been purchased in the warehouse facility become ineligible for inclusion in the CLO Fund or if a planned CLO Fund does not close. For example, as a result of an engagement letter with Bear Stearns & Co. Inc., we have agreed to make certain payments to JP Morgan, Inc. in connection with a settlement of claims. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Commitments.”

Any unrealized losses we experience on our loan portfolio may be an indication of future realized losses, which could reduce our income available for distribution.

As a BDC, we are required to carry our investments at market value or, if no market value is ascertainable, at the fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors pursuant to a valuation methodology approved by our Board of Directors. Decreases in the market values or fair values of our investments will be recorded as unrealized losses. An unrealized loss in our loan portfolio could be an indication of a portfolio company’s inability to meet its repayment obligations with respect to the affected loans. This could result in realized losses in the future and ultimately in reductions of our income available for distribution in future periods.

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results and credit spreads.

We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including our ability to make investments in companies that meet our investment criteria, the interest rate payable on the debt securities we acquire, the default rate on such securities, our level of expenses, variations in and timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.

We are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates and spreads.

Changes in interest rates may have a substantial negative impact on our investments, the value of our securities and our rate of return on invested capital. A reduction in the interest spreads on new investments could also have an adverse impact on our net interest income. An increase in interest rates could decrease the value of any investments we hold which earn fixed interest rates, including mezzanine securities and high-yield bonds, and also could increase our interest expense, thereby decreasing our net income. An increase in interest rates due to an increase in credit spreads, regardless of general interest rate fluctuations, could also negatively impact the value of any investments we hold in our portfolio. Also, an increase in interest rates available to investors could make investment in our common stock less attractive if we are not able to increase our dividend rate, which could reduce the value of our common stock.

Because we have outstanding indebtedness, we are exposed to additional risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage.

We borrow funds or may issue senior securities, pursuant to our existing Facility or other agreements, to make additional investments. With certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts or issue senior securities such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% immediately after such borrowing or issuance. The amount of leverage that we employ will depend on our management’s and our Board of Directors’ assessment of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful. Leverage involves risks and special considerations of stockholders, including:

•

a likelihood of greater volatility of NAV and market price of our common stock than a comparable portfolio without leverage;

•

exposure to increased risk of loss if we incur debt or issue senior securities to finance investments because a decrease in the value of our investments would have a greater negative impact on our returns and therefore the value of our common stock than if we did not use leverage;

•

that the covenants contained in the documents governing the Facility or other debt instruments could restrict our operating flexibility. Such covenants may impose asset coverage or investment portfolio composition requirements that are more stringent than those imposed by the 1940 Act and could require us to liquidate investments at an inopportune time; and

•

that we, and indirectly our stockholders, will bear the cost of leverage, including issuance and servicing costs (i.e., interest).

Any requirement that we sell assets at a loss to redeem or pay interest or dividends on any leverage, or for other reasons, would reduce our NAV and also make it difficult for the NAV to recover. Our Board of Directors, in their judgment, may authorize the use of leverage if they expect that the benefits to our stockholders of maintaining the leveraged position will outweigh the risks.

The debt we incur could increase the risk of investing in our Company.

As of April 30, 2010, our Facility balance was approximately $187 million and our asset coverage ratio was approximately 212%, above the minimum asset coverage level generally required by the 1940 Act for a BDC to incur new debt. Under our Facility, we must maintain a leverage ratio covenant of no more than one to one based on the ratio of the Facility outstanding balance to our most recently reported GAAP stockholders’ equity balance (determined quarterly in conjunction with the Company’s financial reporting filings with the Commission) as of the Facility outstanding balance determination date. While we believe that we are not in material breach of our obligations under the LFSA, including the leverage ratio, there can be no assurance that in connection with the complaint described in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” or otherwise the Agent and the lenders will not assert additional breaches of the LFSA, including breaches relating to the restatement described elsewhere in this Annual Report, and there can be no assurance that the Agent and the lenders will not assert that any such breaches give rise to a Termination Event. If the Agent and the lenders were to seek to accelerate and seize the collateral either at the end of the amortization period or otherwise, and we were unsuccessful in obtaining court relief, we could be forced to pay the remaining balance of the Facility, which would adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

The agreements governing our Facility and the related funding and servicing agreement contain various covenants that limit our discretion in operating our business and also include certain financial covenants. In addition, our lenders have declared a Termination Date under the LFSA.

We have entered into a credit facility that is backed by a revolving pool of loans. Under the Facility, we are subject to limitations as to how borrowed funds may be used, including restrictions on geographic and industry concentrations, loan size, payment frequency and status, average life, collateral interests and investment ratings, as well as regulatory restrictions on leverage which may affect the amount of funding that may be obtained. There are also certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, including required minimum portfolio yield, limitations on delinquencies and charge-offs and a maximum leverage ratio, a violation of any of which could result in the early amortization of the Facility, limit further advances and, in some cases, result in an event of default. An event of default under the Facility could result, among other things, in the termination of the availability of further funds under the Facility and an accelerated maturity date for all amounts outstanding under the Facility, which would likely disrupt our business and, potentially, the portfolio companies whose loans we financed through the Facility. This could reduce our revenues and, by delaying any cash payment allowed to us under the Facility until the lender has been paid in full, reduce our liquidity and cash flow and impair our ability to grow our business and maintain our qualification as a RIC. If we default under certain provisions of the Facility, the remedies available to the lender may limit our ability to declare dividends. As described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, the Agent and the lenders have declared a Termination Date under the LFSA, thereby terminating our ability to obtain revolving advances and commencing the amortization of existing borrowings under the LFSA and we have filed a complaint against the Agent and the lenders alleging, among other things, that the termination of the revolving period and the commencement of the amortization period were wrongful.

In connection with the Facility, we are party to a LFSA, dated as of February 14, 2007, by and among us, the Agent, the Trustee and the other lender parties and other parties thereto. As of December 31, 2009, there were outstanding borrowings of approximately $218 million under the LFSA. In accordance with the terms of the LFSA, the financial assets acquired with the proceeds of borrowings under the LFSA are held in a securities account and are subject to a securities account control agreement granting the Agent certain rights in respect of such securities account and the financial assets held therein. As of December 31, 2009 there were financial assets held in the securities account with a market value of approximately $291 million.

In August 2008, we were notified by the lenders that the banks providing the underlying funding for the Facility did not intend to renew their liquidity facility to the lenders unless we agreed to certain revised terms for the Facility. The lenders proposed new terms as a condition to extending the underlying liquidity purchase agreements. We viewed such proposed terms as unfavorable and did not accept them, which caused the Agent and the lenders to declare a Termination Date, based upon their contention that the underlying liquidity purchase agreements had expired, thereby terminating our ability to obtain revolving advances and commencing the amortization of existing borrowings under the Facility. On June 9, 2009, we received a letter from a representative of the lenders alleging that our failure to determine ratings on certain pledged loans and our alleged breach of certain covenants had resulted in the occurrence of a Termination Event under the LFSA and that, as a result, the interest payable under the LFSA would be calculated at the higher default rate (equal to 0.85% above the prime rate plus 0.75%) applicable to periods in which a Termination Event had occurred and was continuing. In a letter dated June 11, 2009, we rejected the alleged breaches and the alleged occurrence of a Termination Event and also asserted that the termination of the revolving period and commencement of the amortization period under the LFSA were wrongful. On August 28, 2009, we filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the Agent and other lender parties to the LFSA. The complaint reflects our beliefs that the termination of the revolving period under the LFSA (and the corresponding commencement of the amortization period) were wrongful and that the lenders’ assertions that we breached our obligations under the LFSA and that a Termination Event had occurred are without merit. The complaint also seeks to clarify our rights and obligations under the LFSA.

Since September 2008, all principal and excess interest collected from the assets securing the Facility under the LFSA has been and continues to be used to amortize the Facility through a maturity date of September 29, 2010 (the last day of the amortization period that we have challenged as being wrongfully commenced). Since June 2009, based on the Agent’s assertion (despite our disagreement with such assertion) that a Termination Event occurred, the interest payable under the LFSA has been calculated at an elevated rate (equal to 0.85% above the prime rate plus 0.75%) and we have been paying interest calculated at such higher rate under protest.

Because we are using net interest income earned on the assets securing the Facility to amortize the Facility during the amortization period, we may need to sell other assets not pledged to the Facility, potentially at a loss, in order to generate sufficient cash to make the required dividend distributions necessary to maintain our RIC status. In addition, at the end of the amortization period, we may be required to sell or transfer the remaining assets securing the Facility, potentially at a loss, to repay any remaining outstanding borrowings. Any such asset sale could adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are not able to amend, refinance or renew our debt on terms acceptable to us or if we receive an unfavorable outcome from the legal action we are taking regarding the LFSA, our operations could be adversely affected.

As noted above, on August 28, 2009, we filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of New York against the Agent and other lender parties to the LFSA. Since the time the complaint was filed, the Agent, the lender, and the lender agent parties to the LFSA have served answers seeking dismissal of the complaint and recovery of the defendants’ attorneys’ fees and costs in the action, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, has been voluntarily dismissed without prejudice from the lawsuit, and discovery has commenced. The Agent has sent additional notices of Termination Events, which the Company and the Borrower believe and have asserted are without merit, based on the Company’s and the Borrower’s alleged inability to comply with certain covenants under the LFSA due to the actions by the Agent and the lenders in wrongfully declaring a Termination Date. In addition, on April 2, 2010 the Agent sent a notice alleging that our failure to timely deliver annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 would, unless cured within 30 days of the date of the notice, constitute a Termination Event, which we also believe and have asserted is without merit based upon a non-material delay.

While we intend to vigorously litigate the claims set forth in the complaint, neither the outcome of this litigation nor the amount and range of potential damages recoverable by us or our exposure associated with this litigation can be determined at this time and there can be no assurance that in connection with such lawsuit or otherwise the Agent and the lenders will not assert additional breaches of the LFSA, including breaches relating to the restatement described elsewhere in this Annual Report. Further, there can be no assurance that the Agent and the lenders will not assert that any such breaches give rise to a Termination Event. An unfavorable decision or determination that we are required to pay the higher rate of interest under LFSA for an extended period of time, could have an adverse effect on our business, liquidity and financial condition. If the Agent and the lenders were to seek to accelerate and seize the collateral either at the end of the amortization period or otherwise, and we were unsuccessful in obtaining court relief, we could be forced to pay the remaining balance of the Facility (approximately $187 million as of April 30, 2010), which would adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Due to the current economic environment and the severely limited availability of credit, we may not be able to enter into another facility to replace the Facility whether or not any of the foregoing should occur.

Following a default under the LFSA relating to our Facility, we may not have the ability to manage the assets securing the Facility, which may adversely impact our liquidity and operations.

In the case of a default under the LFSA relating to our Facility, the Agent may exercise its right under the securities account control agreement entered into in respect of the security interest granted to the Trustee, as agent, pursuant to the LFSA to take exclusive control of the financial assets in the securities accounts covered by the securities account control agreement. In such case, the Trustee will no longer accept instructions from us regarding management of such financial assets under the LFSA and the Trustee will act at the direction of the Agent in respect of all matters relating to such financial assets. The securities account control agreement provides that the Agent will not exercise its right to take exclusive control of the financial assets in the securities account covered by the securities account control agreement unless there has occurred a Termination Event (as defined in the LFSA). If we are prevented by the Agent from effecting transactions in the collateral securing the Facility, we may suffer losses (or greater losses than we otherwise would have suffered) in respect of the collateral, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To date, notwithstanding the notice of an alleged Termination Event, the Agent has not provided the Company or KCAP Funding with any notice of such action to exercise such rights of control. However, there can be no assurance that the Agent will not take such action in the future or that we will be able to reach a resolution with the Agent regarding the alleged breach of our obligations under the LFSA on terms acceptable to us or at all.

If market constraints further prevent us from obtaining additional debt or equity capital, our liquidity could be adversely affected, our business prospects could be negatively impacted, we could lose key employees and our operating results could be negatively affected.

The current economic and capital market conditions in the U.S. have resulted in a severe reduction in the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole, and financial services firms in particular. These conditions have constrained us and other companies in the financial services sector, limiting or completely preventing access to markets for debt and equity capital needed to maintain operations, continue investment originations and to grow. Reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers. This market turmoil and tightening of credit has led to increased market volatility and widespread reduction of business activity generally. If we are unable to renew or replace the Facility, our liquidity will be significantly reduced. If these conditions continue for a prolonged period of time, or worsen in the future, we could lose key employees and our business prospects could be negatively impacted. Even if we are able to renew or replace the Facility, we may not be able to do so on favorable terms. In addition, the debt capital that will be available, if at all, may be at a higher cost and/or on less favorable terms and conditions. Equity capital is, and may continue to be, difficult to raise because, subject to some limited exceptions, we are not generally able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below NAV per share without stockholder approval. In addition, issuing equity at depressed stock prices can be dilutive to our stockholders. These events and our inability to raise capital have resulted in a reduction in new originations, curtailed our ability to grow and have had a negative impact on our liquidity and operating results. The continued inability to raise additional capital could further constrain our liquidity, negatively impact our business prospects, cause the departure of key employees and negatively impact our operating results.

Because we intend to distribute substantially all of our income and net realized capital gains to our stockholders, we will need additional capital to finance our growth.

In order to qualify as a RIC, to avoid payment of excise taxes and to minimize or avoid payment of income taxes, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our net ordinary income and realized net capital gains except for certain net long-term capital gains (which we may retain, pay applicable income taxes with respect thereto, and elect to treat as deemed distributions to our stockholders). As a BDC, in order to incur new debt, we are generally required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, which includes all of our borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%, as measured immediately after issuance of such security. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. Because we will continue to need capital to grow our loan and investment portfolio, this limitation may prevent us from incurring debt and require us to issue additional equity at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. As of December 31, 2009, our asset coverage ratio was 198%, which is below the minimum level required to incur new debt. While we expect to be able to borrow and to issue additional debt and equity securities, we cannot assure you that debt and equity financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, and debt financings may be restricted by the terms of any of our outstanding borrowings. In addition, as a BDC, we are generally not permitted to issue equity securities priced below NAV without stockholder approval. If additional funds are not available to us, we could be forced to curtail or cease new lending and investment activities, and our NAV could decline. In 2008 and 2009, we declared dividends in the amount of $0.41 per share on March 14, 2008, $0.41 per share on June 13, 2008, $0.35 per share on September 19, 2008, $0.27 per share on December 19, 2008, $0.24 per share on March 23, 2009, $0.24 per share on June 15, 2009, $0.24 per share on September 24, 2009 and $0.20 per share on December 15, 2009. These dividends represented our estimated distributable income for the quarters ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009, and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Our Board of Directors may change our investment objective, operating policies and strategies without prior notice or stockholder approval.

Our Board of Directors has the authority to modify or waive certain of our operating policies and strategies without prior notice (except as required by the 1940 Act) and without stockholder approval. However, absent stockholder approval, we may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or withdraw our election as, a BDC. We cannot predict the effect any changes to our current operating policies and strategies would have on our business, operating results and value of our stock. Nevertheless, the effects may adversely affect our business and impact our ability to make distributions.

Our businesses may be adversely affected by litigation and regulatory proceedings, including those that are currently pending.

From time to time, we may be subject to legal actions as well as various regulatory, governmental and law enforcement inquiries, investigations and subpoenas. In any such claims or actions, demands for substantial monetary damages may be asserted against us and may result in financial liability or an adverse effect on our reputation among investors. We may be unable to accurately estimate our exposure to litigation risk when we record balance sheet reserves for probable loss contingencies. As a result, any reserves we establish to cover any settlements or judgments may not be sufficient to cover our actual financial exposure, which may have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. In regulatory enforcement matters, claims for disgorgement, the imposition of penalties and the imposition of other remedial sanctions are possible.

We are currently parties in ongoing litigation and regulatory proceedings. As described in greater detail in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” below, pending proceedings involving us and/or our directors and officers include two purported class action lawsuits filed by our stockholders, a derivative action filed by our stockholders and an SEC investigation, all of which are at a preliminary stage and relate to the valuation methodology and procedures used by us to value our investments and the restatement to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) and the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. While we believe that we have meritorious defenses in these proceedings and that the outcomes should not materially impact us, we anticipate continued elevated legal and related costs as the ultimate outcomes of the matters are uncertain. In addition, we are party to a pending lawsuit involving the lenders under our Facility, as described in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” below.

In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal actions and regulatory matters, we cannot provide assurance as to the outcome of any pending matter or, if resolved adversely, the costs associated with any such matter, particularly where the claimant seeks very large or indeterminate damages or where the matter presents novel legal theories, involves a large number of parties or is at a preliminary stage. The resolution of any such matters may be time consuming, expensive, and may distract management from the conduct of our business. The resolution of certain pending legal actions or regulatory matters, if unfavorable, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the quarter in which such actions or matters are resolved or a reserve is established.

Risks Related to Our Investments

Our investments may be risky, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

We invest primarily in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity investments issued by middle market companies.

Secured Loans. When we extend secured term loans, we generally take a security interest (either as a first lien position or as a second lien position) in the available assets of these portfolio companies, including the equity interests of their subsidiaries, which we expect to assist in mitigating the risk that we will not be repaid. However, there is a risk that the collateral securing our loans may decrease in value over time, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise additional capital, and, in some circumstances, our lien could be subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, deterioration in a portfolio company’s financial condition and prospects, including its inability to raise additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the collateral for the loan. Consequently, the fact that a loan is secured does not guarantee that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the loan’s terms, or at all, or that we will be able to collect on the loan should we be forced to exercise our remedies.

Mezzanine Debt. Our mezzanine debt investments generally are subordinated to senior loans and generally are unsecured. This may result in an above average amount of risk and volatility or loss of principal.

These investments may entail additional risks that could adversely affect our investment returns. To the extent interest payments associated with such debt are deferred, such debt is subject to greater fluctuations in value based on changes in interest rates and such debt could subject us to phantom income. Since we generally do not receive any cash prior to maturity of the debt, the investment is of greater risk.

Equity Investments. We have made and expect to make selected equity investments. In addition, when we invest in senior secured loans or mezzanine debt, we may acquire warrants in the equity of the portfolio company. Our goal is ultimately to dispose of such equity interests and realize gains upon our disposition of such interests. However, the equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize gains from our equity interests, and any gains that we do realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience.

Risks Associated with Middle Market Companies. Investments in middle market companies also involve a number of significant risks, including:

•

limited financial resources and inability to meet their obligations, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of our realizing the value of any guarantees we may have obtained in connection with our investment;

•

shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors’ actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns;

•

dependence on management talents and efforts of a small group of persons; therefore, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on our portfolio company and, in turn, on us;

•

less predictable operating results, being parties to litigation from time to time, engaging in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence and requiring substantial additional capital expenditures to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position;

•

difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs; and

•

generally less publicly available information about their businesses, operations and financial condition.

Our portfolio investments for which there is no readily available market, including our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors and our investments in CLO Funds, are recorded at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. As a result, there is uncertainty as to the value of these investments.

Our investments consist primarily of securities issued by privately-held companies, the fair value of which is not readily determinable. In addition, we are not permitted to maintain a general reserve for anticipated loan losses. Instead, we are required by the 1940 Act to specifically value each investment and record an unrealized gain or loss for any asset that we believe has increased or decreased in value. We value these securities at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors pursuant to a valuation methodology approved by our Board of Directors. These valuations are initially prepared by our management and reviewed by our Valuation Committee, which uses its best judgment in arriving at the fair value of these securities. However, the Board of Directors retains ultimate authority to determine the appropriate valuation for each investment. From time to time, our Board of Directors has used the services of an independent valuation firm to aid it in determining fair value, including in the case of our investments in CLO Funds and in Katonah Debt Advisors. Where applicable, an independent valuation firm provides third-party valuation consulting services, which typically consist of certain limited procedures that we identify and request an independent valuation firm to perform. The types of factors that may be considered in valuing our investments include the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly-traded companies, discounted cash flow and other relevant factors. Our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors is carried at fair value, which is determined after taking into consideration a percentage of assets under management and a discounted cash flow model incorporating different levels of discount rates depending on the hierarchy of fees earned (including the likelihood of realization of senior, subordinate and incentive fees) and prospective modeled performance. Such valuation includes an analysis of comparable asset management companies. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private investments and private companies, are inherently uncertain and may be based on estimates, our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would be assessed if a ready market for these securities existed. Our NAV could be adversely affected if our determinations regarding the fair value of our illiquid investments were materially higher than the values that we ultimately realize upon the disposal of such securities.

Following our engagement of Grant Thornton, we and our Audit Committee concluded that the we would have to restate our previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. We and our Audit Committee determined that such restatement was necessary to correct errors in the application of accounting for the fair value of our illiquid investments and the revenue recognition for certain non-cash PIK investments, which errors impact the amount of unrealized gains (losses) reported for our illiquid investments, which affects the calculation of our NAV and net income, and also impact net investment income as well as the cost basis and the net change in unrealized appreciation on certain non-cash PIK investments. In connection with the restatement, we have revised the valuation procedures applied to our illiquid investments and our accounting for our non-cash PIK investments.

We are subject to additional risks in light of the restatement of our prior period financial statements.

As described in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies—Basis of Presentation” of the notes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report, we have restated our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. The restatement of our financial statements was due to errors in the application of accounting for the fair value of our illiquid investments and the revenue recognition for certain non-cash PIK investments, which errors impact the amount of unrealized gains (losses) reported for our illiquid investments, which affects the calculation of our NAV and net income, and also impact net investment income as well as the cost basis and the net change in unrealized appreciation on certain non-cash PIK investments. The error related to fair value measurements was identified through the use and weighting of additional valuation techniques and a broader consideration of secondary market inputs, and resulted from the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in more detail in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.” A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This restatement has exposed us to certain legal and regulatory actions described in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” below and could expose us to additional legal or regulatory actions. In addition, the defense of any such actions could cause the diversion of management’s attention and resources, and we could be required to pay damages to settle such actions if any such actions are not resolved in our favor. Even if resolved in our favor, such actions could cause us to incur significant legal and other expenses. We believe that we have addressed the material weaknesses through the adoption of the revised valuation procedures and the implementation of a review process described elsewhere in this Annual Report. However, as of the date of filing of this Annual Report, we have not fully remediated these material weaknesses. We may not be able to remediate the material weaknesses in a timely manner and our management may be required to devote significant time and expense to remediate the material weaknesses. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will not conclude in the future that these weaknesses continue to exist or that we will not identify any significant deficiencies or other material weaknesses that will impair our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations accurately or on a timely basis. Moreover, we may be the subject of negative publicity focusing on the restatement and negative reactions from shareholders and others with whom we do business.

We are a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and therefore we may invest a significant portion of our assets in a relatively small number of issuers, which subjects us to a risk of significant loss if any of these issuers defaults on its obligations under any of its debt instruments or as a result of a downturn in the particular industry.

We are classified as a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and therefore we may invest a significant portion of our assets in a relatively small number of issuers in a limited number of industries. As of December 31, 2009, our largest investment, our 100% equity interest in Katonah Debt Advisors, equaled approximately 14% of the fair value of our investments. Beyond the asset diversification requirements associated with our qualification as a RIC (as described further in “Item 1. Business—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”), we do not have fixed guidelines for diversification, and while we are not targeting any specific industries, relatively few industries may become significantly represented among our investments. In accordance with our current policy, we do not “concentrate” our investments, that is, invest 25% or more of our assets in any particular industry (determined at the time of investment). However, to the extent that we assume large positions in the securities of a small number of issuers, our NAV may fluctuate to a greater extent than that of a diversified investment company as a result of changes in the financial condition or the market’s assessment of the issuer or a downturn in any particular industry. We may also be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrence than a diversified investment company.

Economic recessions or downturns could negatively impact our portfolio companies and harm our operating results.

Many of our portfolio companies may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions and may be unable to repay our loans during these periods. Therefore, our non-performing assets are likely to increase and the value of our portfolio is likely to

decrease during these periods. Adverse economic conditions may also decrease the value of collateral securing some of our loans and the value of our equity investments. Economic slowdowns or recessions could lead to financial losses in our portfolio and a decrease in revenues, net income and assets. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. These events could prevent us from increasing investments and harm our operating results.

Defaults by our portfolio companies could harm our operating results.

A portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by us or other debt holders could lead to defaults and, potentially, acceleration of the time when the loans are due and foreclosure on its secured assets. Such events could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize a portfolio company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt that we hold and the value of any equity securities we own. We may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company.

When we are a debt or minority equity investor in a portfolio company, which generally is the case, we may not be in a position to control the entity, and its management may make decisions that could decrease the value of our investment.

Most of our investments are either debt or minority equity investments in our portfolio companies. Therefore, we are subject to the risk that a portfolio company may make business decisions with which we disagree, and the stockholders and management of such company may take risks or otherwise act in ways that do not serve our interests. As a result, a portfolio company may make decisions that could decrease the value of our portfolio holdings. In addition, we generally are not in a position to control any portfolio company by investing in its debt securities.

Prepayments of our debt investments by our portfolio companies could negatively impact our operating results.

We are subject to the risk that the investments we make in our portfolio companies may be repaid prior to maturity. When this occurs, we generally reinvest these proceeds in temporary investments, pending their future investment in new portfolio companies. These temporary investments typically have substantially lower yields than the debt being prepaid and we could experience significant delays in reinvesting these amounts. Any future investment in a new portfolio company may also be at lower yields than the debt that was repaid. Consequently, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected if one or more of our portfolio companies elects to prepay amounts owed to us. Additionally, prepayments could negatively impact our return on equity, which could result in a decline in the market price of our common stock.

Our portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equal with, or senior to, our investments in such companies.

We invest primarily in debt securities issued by our portfolio companies. In some cases portfolio companies are permitted to have other debt that ranks equal with, or senior to, the debt securities in which we invest. By their terms, such debt instruments may provide that the holders thereof are entitled to receive payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which we are entitled to receive payments in respect of the debt securities in which we invest. Also, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of debt instruments ranking senior to our investment in that portfolio company would typically be entitled to receive payment in full before we receive any distribution in respect of our investment. After repaying such senior creditors, such portfolio company may not have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to us. In the case of debt ranking equal with debt securities in which we invest, we would have to share on an equal basis any distributions with other creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company.

There may be circumstances where our debt investments could be subordinated to claims of other creditors or we could be subject to lender liability claims.

Even though we may have structured certain of our investments as senior loans, if one of our portfolio companies were to go bankrupt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the size of our investment and the extent to which we actually provided managerial assistance to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might recharacterize our debt investment and subordinate all or a portion of our claim to that of other creditors. In addition, lenders can be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by them where they become too involved in the borrower’s business or exercise control over the borrower. It is possible that we could become subject to a lender’s liability claim, including as a result of actions taken in rendering significant managerial assistance.

Our investments in equity securities involve a substantial degree of risk.

We may purchase common stock and other equity securities, including warrants. Although equity securities have historically generated higher average total returns than fixed-income securities over the long term, equity securities have also experienced significantly more volatility in those returns. The equity securities we acquire may fail to appreciate and may decline in value or become worthless, and our ability to recover our investment depends on our portfolio company’s success. Investments in equity securities involve a number of significant risks, including the risk of further dilution as a result of additional issuances, inability to access additional capital and failure to pay current distributions. Investments in preferred securities involve special risks, such as the risk of deferred distributions, credit risk, illiquidity and limited voting rights.

The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.

We invest in securities issued by private companies. These securities may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise be less liquid than publicly-traded securities. The illiquidity of these investments may make it difficult for us to sell these investments when desired. In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we had previously recorded these investments. Our investments are usually subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale or are otherwise illiquid because there is usually no established trading market for such investments. The illiquidity of most of our investments may make it difficult for us to dispose of them at a favorable price, and, as a result, we may suffer losses.

We may not receive all or a portion of the income we expect to continue to receive from Katonah Debt Advisors.

We expect to receive distributions of recurring fee income, after the payment of its expenses, from the asset management activities of Katonah Debt Advisors. However, the existing asset management agreements pursuant to which Katonah Debt Advisors receives such fee income from the CLO Funds for which it serves as manager may be terminated for “cause” by the holders of a majority of the most senior class of securities issued by such CLO Funds and the holders of a majority of the subordinated securities issued by such CLO Funds. “Cause” is defined in the asset management agreements to include a material breach by Katonah Debt Advisors of the indenture governing the applicable CLO Fund, breaches by Katonah Debt Advisors of certain specified provisions of the indenture, material breaches of representations or warranties made by Katonah Debt Advisors, bankruptcy or insolvency of Katonah Debt Advisors, fraud or criminal activity on the part of Katonah Debt Advisors or an event of default under the indenture governing the CLO Funds. We expect that future asset management agreements will contain comparable provisions. Further, a significant portion of the asset management fees payable to Katonah Debt Advisors under the asset management agreements are subordinated to the prior payments of interest on the senior securities issued by the CLO Funds. If the asset management agreements are terminated or the CLO Funds do not generate enough income or otherwise have insufficient residual cash flow due to diversion of cash as a result of the failure by the CLO Funds to satisfy certain restrictive covenants contained in their indenture agreements to pay the subordinated management fees, we will not receive the fee income that we expect to continue to receive from Katonah Debt Advisors, which will reduce income available to make distributions to our stockholders. At December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors continued to receive all senior management fees payable by the CLO Funds managed by it. However, certain CLO Funds (representing approximately $1.2 billion of the $2.1 billion of Katonah Debt Advisors’ assets under management) are not paying their subordinated management fee. Such subordinated management fees continue to be accrued by the applicable CLO Fund and will be payable to Katonah Debt Advisors if and when such CLO Fund becomes compliant with the applicable covenants.

We may not receive any return on our investment in the CLO Funds in which we have invested and we may be unable to raise additional CLO Funds.

As of December 31, 2009, we had $45 million invested in the subordinated securities or preferred shares issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and certain other third party asset managers. Subject to market conditions, we expect to continue to acquire subordinated securities in the future in CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and/or third party managers. These subordinated securities are the most junior class of securities issued by the CLO Funds and are subordinated in priority of payment to every other class of securities issued by these CLO Funds. Therefore, they only receive cash distributions if the CLO Funds have made all cash interest payments to all other debt securities issued by the CLO Fund. The subordinated securities are also unsecured and rank behind all of the secured creditors, known or unknown, of the CLO Fund, including the holders of the senior securities issued by the CLO Fund. Consequently, to the extent that the value of a CLO Fund’s loan investments has been reduced as a result of conditions in the credit markets, or as a result of default loans or individual fund assets, the value of the subordinated securities at their redemption could be reduced. Additionally, we may not be able to continue to complete new CLO Funds due to prevailing CLO market conditions or other factors.

Risks Related to Our Operation as a BDC

Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted.

We are prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with certain of our affiliates without the prior approval of our independent directors and, in some cases, the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of our outstanding voting securities is our affiliate for purposes of the 1940 Act, and we generally are prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to such affiliate, absent the prior approval of our independent directors. The 1940 Act also prohibits certain “joint” transactions with certain of our affiliates, which could include investments in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times), without prior approval of our independent directors and, in some cases, the SEC. If a person acquires more than 25% of our voting securities, we are prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to such person or certain of that person’s affiliates, or entering into prohibited joint transactions with such persons, absent the prior approval of the SEC. Similar restrictions limit our ability to transact business with our officers or directors or their affiliates. As a result of these restrictions, we may be prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to any portfolio company of a private equity fund managed by Kohlberg & Co. without the prior approval of the SEC. However, we may co-invest on a concurrent basis with Kohlberg & Co. or any of our affiliates, subject to compliance with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only if we receive an order from the SEC permitting us to do so. There can be no assurance that any such order will be applied for or, if applied for, obtained.

Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital.

Our business requires a substantial amount of additional capital. We may acquire additional capital from the issuance of senior securities or other indebtedness, the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or from securitization transactions. However, we may not be able to raise additional capital in the future on favorable terms or at all. We may issue debt securities or preferred securities, which we refer to collectively as “senior securities,” and we may borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act permits us to issue senior securities or incur indebtedness only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% immediately after such issuance or incurrence. As of December 31, 2009, our asset coverage was 198%, which is below the minimum level required to incur new debt. With respect to certain types of senior securities, we must make provisions to prohibit any dividend distribution to our stockholders or the repurchase of certain of our securities, unless we meet the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the dividend distribution or repurchase. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy the asset coverage test. If that happens, we may be required to liquidate a portion of our investments and repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous.

•

Senior Securities. As a result of issuing senior securities, we would also be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss. If we issue preferred securities they would rank “senior” to common stock in our capital structure. Preferred stockholders would have separate voting rights and may have rights, preferences or privileges more favorable than those of our common stock. Furthermore, the issuance of preferred securities could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stockholders or otherwise be in your best interest.

•

Additional Common Stock. Our Board of Directors may decide to issue common stock to finance our operations rather than issuing debt or other senior securities. As a BDC, we are generally not able to issue our common stock at a price below NAV without first obtaining required approvals from our stockholders and our independent directors. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price, that in the determination of our Board of Directors, closely approximates the market value of such securities (less any commission or discount). We may also make rights offerings to our stockholders at prices per share less than the NAV per share, subject to the 1940 Act. If we raise additional funds by issuing more common stock or senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common stock, the percentage ownership of our stockholders at that time would decrease, and you may experience dilution.

•

Securitization. In addition to issuing securities to raise capital as described above, we securitize a portion of our loans to generate cash for funding new investments through our Facility. To securitize loans, we have created a wholly-owned subsidiary and contributed a pool of loans to the subsidiary. An inability to successfully securitize our loan portfolio could limit our ability to grow our business and fully execute our business strategy and adversely affect our earnings, if any. Moreover, the successful securitization of our loan portfolio might expose us to losses, as the residual loans in which we do not sell interests tend to be those that are riskier and more apt to generate losses.

Changes in the laws or regulations governing our business, or changes in the interpretations thereof, and any failure by us to comply with these laws or regulations, could negatively affect the profitability of our operations.

Changes in the laws or regulations or the interpretations of the laws and regulations that govern BDCs, RICs or non-depository commercial lenders, could significantly affect our operations and our cost of doing business. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations and are subject to judicial and administrative decisions that affect our operations, including our loan originations, maximum interest rates, fees and other charges, disclosures to portfolio companies, the terms of secured transactions, collection and foreclosure procedures and other trade practices. If these laws, regulations or decisions change, or if we expand our business into jurisdictions that have adopted more stringent requirements than those in which we currently conduct business, we may have to incur significant expenses in order to comply or we might have to restrict our operations. In addition, if we do not comply with applicable laws, regulations and decisions, we may lose licenses needed for the conduct of our business and be subject to civil fines and criminal penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations or financial condition.

If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets in “qualifying assets,” we could fail to qualify as a BDC or be precluded from investing according to our current business strategy.

As a BDC, we may not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” for purposes of the 1940 Act unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such acquisition, at least 70% of our total assets are “qualifying assets.” See “Item 1. Business—Regulation.”

We believe that most of the senior loans and mezzanine investments that we acquire constitute “qualifying assets.” However, investments in the equity securities of CLO Funds generally do not constitute “qualifying assets,” and we may invest in other assets that are not “qualifying assets.” If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets in “qualifying assets,” we may be precluded from investing in what we believe are attractive investments or could lose our status as a BDC, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These restrictions could also prevent us from making investments in the equity securities of CLO Funds, which could limit Katonah Debt Advisors’ ability to organize new CLO Funds. Similarly, these rules could prevent us from making follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies (which could result in the dilution of our position) or could require us to dispose of investments at inappropriate times in order to come into compliance with the 1940 Act. If we need to dispose of such investments quickly, it would be difficult to dispose of such investments on favorable terms. For example, we may have difficulty in finding a buyer and, even if we do find a buyer, we may have to sell the investments at a substantial loss.

If we are unable to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, we will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax, which will adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Provided we qualify as a RIC, we will generally not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on income distributed to our stockholders as dividends. We will not continue to qualify for pass-through tax treatment as a RIC, and thus will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes, if we are unable to comply with the source-of-income, asset diversification and distribution requirements contained in the Code, or if we fail to maintain our election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. Failure to meet the requirements for tax treatment as a RIC would subject us to taxes, which would reduce the return on your investment. As such, our failure to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC would have a material adverse effect on us, the NAV of our common stock and the total return obtainable from your investment in our common stock. We may, from time to time, organize and conduct the business of our wholly-owned portfolio company, Katonah Debt Advisors, through additional direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries which may, in some cases, be taxable as corporations. For additional information see “Item 1. Business—Regulation” and “Item 1. Business—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings

Legal Action Against Lenders Under the Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement Governing our Facility

On August 28, 2009 the Company and KCAP Funding (the Borrower under the LFSA) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the Agent and the other lender parties to the LFSA. The Company’s discussions with the Agent to reach a mutually agreeable amendment to the LFSA were terminated prior to the filing of the complaint. The complaint reflects the Company’s and the Borrower’s beliefs that the Agent’s declaration of a Termination Date (which ended the revolving period and commenced the amortization period) was wrongful and the Agent’s assertion of the occurrence of a Termination Event based upon certain alleged breaches by the Company and the Borrower of their obligations under the LFSA is without merit. The complaint also seeks to clarify the Company’s and the Borrower’s rights and obligation under the LFSA.

In particular, the complaint alleges that the defendants improperly failed to make advances to the Borrower in violation of the terms of the LFSA; that the defendants’ termination of the revolving period was wrongful and improperly triggered the amortization period and default interest rate under the LFSA; that the defendants’ failure to provide relevant documents and disclose information to enable the Company and the Borrower to cure the alleged defaults constitutes material breaches of their obligations under the LFSA; and that the defendants’ actions amount to a scheme to avoid their obligations owed to the Company and the Borrower under the LFSA (i.e., their obligation to lend money on the terms specified in the LFSA) and an anticipatory repudiation of such obligations, thus resulting in extensive and irreparable harm to the Company and the Borrower and a suspension and/or discharge of the Company and the Borrower’s obligations under the LFSA. Based on the foregoing, the complaint requests the court to, among other things:

•

render a declaration that the termination notices were unlawful and invalid and that neither a termination date nor a termination event occurred under the LFSA;

•

order specific performance of the defendants’ obligations to make further advances under the LFSA, to withdraw the termination notices and to refrain from charging the default rate of interest;

•

award the Company and the Borrower a judgment suspending and/or discharging their obligations under the LFSA (as appropriate) as well as a judgment against the defendants in an amount to be determined at trial (but no less than $5,000,000); and

•

award the Company and the Borrower the costs, disbursements and attorneys’ fees of the action.

Since the time the complaint was filed, the Agent, the lenders, and the lender agent parties to the LFSA have served answers seeking dismissal of the complaint and recovery of the defendants’ attorneys’ fees and costs in the action; the Trustee has been voluntarily dismissed without prejudice from the lawsuit; and discovery has commenced.

While the Company and the Borrower intend to vigorously litigate the claims set forth in the complaint, neither the outcome of this litigation nor the amount and range of potential damages recoverable by the Company and the Borrower or their exposure associated with this litigation can be determined at this time. There can be no assurance that in connection with such lawsuit or otherwise the Agent and the lenders will not assert additional breaches of the LFSA, including breaches relating to the restatement described elsewhere in this Annual Report, and there can be no assurance that the Agent and the lenders will not assert that any such breaches give rise to a Termination Event. Pursuant to the LFSA, the Company and the Borrower are obligated to indemnify the

defendants and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents against all of their losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and non-monetary damages arising out of or as a result of the LFSA, except to the extent resulting from their fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company and the Borrower have asserted that no indemnity obligation has been triggered.

The Agent has sent additional notices of Termination Events, which the Company and the Borrower believe and have asserted are without merit, based on the Company’s and the Borrower’s alleged inability to comply with certain covenants under the LFSA due to the actions by the defendants in wrongfully declaring a Termination Date. In addition, on April 2, 2010 the Agent sent a notice alleging that the Company’s failure to timely deliver annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 would, unless cured within 30 days of the date of the notice, constitute a Termination Event, which the Company and the Borrower also believe and have asserted is without merit based upon a non-material delay.

Class Actions against the Company and Certain Directors and Officers

The Company and certain directors and officers are also named as defendants in a derivative action filed on March 2, 2010 pending in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York. The complaint in this action purports to state causes of action for breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and corporate waste.

The Company believes that each of the above-mentioned suits is without merit and will defend each vigorously.

SEC Investigation

On January 11, 2010, the staff of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement informed the Company that it was conducting an informal inquiry. The focus of the inquiry concerns the valuation methodology and procedures used by the Company to value its investments. On April 30, 2010, the SEC Staff advised the Company that a formal order of private investigation had been issued and that the informal inquiry was now a formal investigation. A subpoena has been issued to the Company in connection with the formal investigation. The subpoena requests that the Company produce documents and/or testimony that primarily relates to the valuation methodology and procedures used by the Company to value its investments. Since January 2010, the Company has been providing documents in response to the informal inquiry and the subpoena. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC Staff’s investigation. The Company cannot predict the outcome of, or the timeframe for, the conclusion of this investigation.

Except as set forth above, neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, are currently a party to any material legal proceedings, other than routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Such proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of our operations.

Performance Graph

The following graph compares the return on our common stock with that of the Russell 2000 Index and the Nasdaq Financial 100 Index (IXF), for the period December 11, 2006 (the date of our IPO) to December 31, 2009. The graph assumes that, on December 11, 2006, a person invested $100 in each of our common stock and the Russell 2000 Index. The graph measures total shareholder return, which takes into account both changes in stock price and dividends. It assumes that dividends are reinvested.

Shareholder Return Performance Graph

Cumulative Total Return Since IPO¹

(Through December 31, 2009)

LOGO

Total return includes reinvestment of dividends through December 31, 2009. The IXF is an index of diversified financial sector stocks and, as such, the Company believes that it is representative of our industry. The Russell 2000 is a broad based equity market index that tracks companies with a market capitalization that the Company believes are comparable to Kohlberg Capital.

HOLDERS

As of May 5, 2010, there were 20 shareholders of record of our common stock and approximately 8,719 beneficial shareholders of the Company.

SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

We did not sell any securities during the period covered by this report that were not registered under the Securities Act. However, we issued 501,873 shares of common stock pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan. See Note 10, “Stockholders’ Equity,” from our Notes to the Financial Statements included herein.

ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

In November 2008, the Board of Directors approved a $5 million share repurchase plan. Any share repurchases are subject to timing restrictions and other applicable regulations. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2009.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We intend to continue to distribute quarterly dividends to our stockholders. Our quarterly dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. To maintain our RIC status, we must timely distribute an amount equal to at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, reduced by deductible expenses, out of the assets legally available for distribution, for each year. To avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we are generally required to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (3) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years. If this requirement is not met, we will be required to pay a nondeductible excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of the current year’s taxable income exceeds the distribution for the year. The taxable income on which an excise tax is paid is generally carried forward and distributed to stockholders in the next tax year. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, to the extent required.

We cannot assure you that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any cash distributions and, if we incur public indebtedness or issue public senior securities, we may be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

We maintain an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a dividend, then stockholders’ cash dividends will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they specifically “opt out” of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash dividends.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Annual Report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to the factors discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Note about Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere herein.

RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL RESULTS

We have restated our Balance Sheet and Schedule of Investments as of December 31, 2008, and the related Statement of Operations, Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for the year then ended. For more information about the restatement, please see the Explanatory Note to this Annual Report and Note 14, “Restated Financial Statements” in the accompanying financial statements.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations incorporate the restated amounts.

OVERVIEW

We are an internally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We originate, structure and invest in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity securities primarily in privately-held middle market companies. We define the middle market as comprising companies with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as “EBITDA,” of $10 million to $50 million and/or total debt of $25 million to $150 million. In addition to our middle market investment business, our wholly-owned portfolio company, Katonah Debt Advisors and its affiliates (collectively, “Katonah Debt Advisors”), manage collateralized loan obligation funds (“CLO Funds”) that invest in broadly syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and other corporate credit instruments. We acquired Katonah Debt Advisors and certain related assets prior to our initial public offering from affiliates of Kohlberg & Co., LLC (“Kohlberg & Co.”), a leading private equity firm focused on middle market investing. As of December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management.

As a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”), we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our net taxable income and the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. Pursuant to these elections, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders.

Our common stock is traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “KCAP.” The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of our common stock at December 31, 2009 was $9.56. On December 31, 2009, the last reported sales price of a share of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market was $4.56.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies are those applicable to the basis of presentation, valuation of investments, and certain revenue recognition matters as discussed below.

Basis of Presentation

On December 10, 2009, we were advised by Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) that (i) the audit report issued by Deloitte accompanying our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year and (ii) Deloitte’s completed interim reviews of our financial statements for the interim periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009

in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for those respective periods should no longer be relied upon. As a result, we indicated in a Current Report on Form 8-K that the financial statements for the specified periods included in such reports should not be relied upon until the foregoing matters were resolved. Following our engagement of Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”), we and our Audit Committee concluded that we would have to restate our previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. We and our Audit Committee determined that such restatement was necessary to correct errors in the application of accounting for the fair value of our illiquid investments and the revenue recognition for certain non-cash payment-in-kind (“PIK”) investments, which errors impact the amount of unrealized gains (losses) reported for our illiquid investments (defined by us as investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades), which affects the calculation of our NAV and net income, and also impact net investment income as well as the cost basis and the net change in unrealized appreciation on certain non-cash PIK investments. In connection with the restatement, we revised the valuation procedures applied to our illiquid investments and our accounting for our non-cash PIK investments. We now derive fair value for our illiquid investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using a present value technique that discounts the estimated contractual cash flows for the underlying assets with discount rates imputed by broad market indices, bond spreads and yields for comparable issuers relative to the subject assets (the “Market Yield Approach”) and also consider recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual cash flows for an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the seniority or security interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield bond index, at the valuation date. We have identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related to our loan and debt investments. Because we have not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan and debt investments held by us and therefore use the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant adjustment to better correlate such market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate may be applied to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used as part of the valuation methodology, their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used as security, structure, performance and other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting present value determination is then weighted along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such quotes are indicative of actual transactions with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation or distressed sales, relatively more reliance will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative of market transactions or are insufficient as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be compared with other fair value indications and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy. The appropriateness of specific valuation methods and techniques may change as market conditions and available data change. In addition, for investments which earn non-cash PIK interest and for which there has been a substantial decline in fair value due to underlying credit concerns for an extended period, the Company no longer accrues such non-cash PIK interest as income.

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year’s presentation to conform to the current year. Time deposits and money market accounts, which were previously classified as cash and cash equivalents, have been reclassified to short term investments.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of our financial statements is the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded.

Value, as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of 1940 Act, is generally (1) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available and (2) for all other securities and assets, fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors pursuant to a valuation methodology approved by our Board of Directors. Our valuation policy is intended to provide a consistent basis for determining the fair value of the portfolio based on the nature of the security, the market for the security and other considerations including the financial performance of the portfolio company. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the Board of Directors’ determined values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments.

We are, for generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) purposes, an investment company under the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies. As a result, we reflect our investments on our balance sheet at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected as a component of unrealized gains or losses on our statements of operations. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell the investments in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). Additionally, we do not consolidate majority or wholly-owned and controlled investments.

Effective January 1, 2008 we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 820, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157—Fair Value Measurements (“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”), which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments carried at fair value. See Note 4, “Investments” to the financial statements for the additional information about the level of market observability associated with investments carried at fair value.

We have valued our investments, in the absence of observable market prices, using the valuation methodology described below applied on a consistent basis. For some investments little market activity may exist; management’s determination of fair value is then based on the best information available in the circumstances, and may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of management’s judgment.

Our investments in CLO Fund securities are carried at fair value, which is based either on (i) the present value of the net expected cash inflows for interest income and principal repayments from underlying assets and cash outflows for interest expense, debt paydown and other fund costs for the CLO Funds that are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore are selling assets and/or using principal repayments to pay down CLO Fund debt (or will begin to do so shortly), and for which there continue to be net cash distributions to the class of securities owned by us, (ii) the NAV of the CLO Funds that are approaching or are past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore are selling assets and/or using principal repayments to pay down CLO Fund debt (or will begin to do so shortly), and for which there are negligible net cash distributions to the class of securities owned by us, or (iii) a discounted cash flow model for more recent CLO Funds that utilizes prepayment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow and comparable yields for similar securities or preferred shares to those in which we have invested. We recognize unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our investments in CLO Fund securities as comparable yields in the market change and/or based on changes in NAVs or estimated cash flows resulting from changes in prepayment or loss assumptions in the underlying collateral pool. As each investment in CLO Fund securities ages, the expected amount of losses and the expected timing of recognition of such losses in the underlying collateral pool are updated and the revised cash flows are used in determining the fair value of the CLO Fund investments. We determine the fair value of our investments in CLO Fund securities on an individual security-by-security basis.

Our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors is carried at fair value, which is determined after taking into consideration a percentage of assets under management and a discounted cash flow model incorporating different levels of discount rates depending on the hierarchy of fees earned (including the likelihood of realization of senior, subordinate and incentive fees) and prospective modeled performance. Such valuation includes an analysis of comparable asset management companies. Katonah Debt Advisors is classified as a Level III investment (as described below). Any change in value from period to period is recognized as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Fair values of other equity investments for which market prices are not observable are determined by reference to public market or private transactions or valuations for comparable companies or assets in the relevant asset class and or industry when such amounts are available. Generally these valuations are derived by multiplying a key performance metric of the investee company or asset (e.g., EBITDA) by the relevant valuation multiple observed for comparable companies or transactions, adjusted by management for differences between the investment and the referenced comparable. If the fair value of such investments cannot be valued by reference to observable valuation measures for comparable companies, then the primary analytical method used to estimate the fair value is a discounted cash flow method and/or cap rate analysis. A sensitivity analysis is applied to the estimated future cash flows using various factors depending on the investment, including assumed growth rates (in cash flows), capitalization rates (for determining terminal values) and appropriate discount rates to determine a range of reasonable values or to compute projected return on investment.

We derive fair value for our illiquid loan investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using the Market Yield Approach and also consider recent amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset, as described above.

Other significant assumptions, such as coupon and maturity, are asset-specific and are noted for each investment in the Schedules of Investments.

Our Board of Directors may consider other methods of valuation to determine the fair value of investments as appropriate in conformity with GAAP.

The determination of fair value using this methodology takes into consideration a range of factors, including but not limited to the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. This valuation methodology involves a significant degree of judgment.

After our adoption of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

•

Level I—Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed securities. As required by Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably affect the quoted price.

•

Level II—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Such inputs may be quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full character of the financial instrument, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market information. Investments which are generally included in this category include illiquid corporate loans and bonds and less liquid, privately held or restricted equity securities for which some level of recent trading activity has been observed.

•

Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs may be based on the Company’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability or may use Level II inputs, as adjusted, to reflect specific investment attributes relative to a broader market assumption. These inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Even if observable market data for comparable performance or valuation measures (earnings multiples, discount rates, other financial/valuation ratios, etc.) are available, such investments are grouped as Level III if any significant data point that is not also market observable (private company earnings, cash flows, etc.) is used in the valuation methodology.

Interest Income

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. We generally place a loan on non-accrual status and cease recognizing interest income on such loan or security when a loan or security becomes 90 days or more past due or if we otherwise do not expect the debtor to be able to service its debt obligations. Non-accrual loans remain in such status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due or such loans become current. As of December 31, 2009, ten issuers representing 2% of our total investments at fair value were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2008, two issuers representing 0.2% of our total investments at fair value were on non-accrual status.

Dividend Income from CLO Fund Securities

We generate dividend income from our investments in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds (typically preferred shares or subordinated securities) managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and selective investments in securities issued by funds managed by other asset management companies. Our CLO Fund securities are subordinate to senior bond holders who typically receive a fixed rate of return on their investment. The CLO Funds are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or “excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities in the fund less payments made to senior bond holders, fund expenses and management fees) is paid to the holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated securities or preferred shares. The level of excess spread from CLO Fund securities can be impacted by the timing and level of the resetting of the benchmark interest rate for the underlying assets (which reset at various times throughout the quarter) in the CLO Fund and the related CLO Fund bond liabilities (which reset at each quarterly distribution date); in periods of short-term and volatile changes in the benchmark interest rate, the levels of excess spread and distributions to us can vary significantly. We make estimated interim accruals of such dividend income based on recent historical distributions and CLO Fund performance and adjust such accruals on a quarterly basis to reflect actual distributions.

Dividends from Affiliate Asset Manager

We record dividend income from our affiliate asset manager on the declaration date, which represents the ex-dividend date.

Payment-in-Kind Interest

We may have loans in our portfolio that contain a PIK provision. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. However, for investments which earn non-cash PIK interest and for which there has been a substantial decline in fair value due to underlying credit concerns for an extended period, we no longer accrue such non-cash PIK interest as income. To maintain our RIC status, this non-cash PIK interest must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though we have not yet collected the cash.

Fee Income

Fee income includes fees, if any, for due diligence, structuring, commitment and facility fees, and, if any, for transaction services and management services rendered by us to portfolio companies and other third parties. Commitment and facility fees are generally recognized as income over the life of the underlying loan, whereas due diligence, structuring, transaction service and management service fees are generally recognized as income when the services are rendered.

Management Compensation

We may, from time to time, issue stock options or restricted stock under the Kohlberg Capital Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to officers and employees for services rendered to us. We follow Compensation—Stock Compensation a method by which the fair value of options or restricted stock is determined and expensed. We use a Binary Option Pricing Model (American, call option) to establish the expected value of all stock option grants.

We are internally managed and therefore do not incur management fees payable to third parties.

United States Federal Income Taxes

We have elected and intend to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs under Subchapter M of the Code and, among other things, intend to make the required distributions to our stockholders as specified therein. In order to qualify as a RIC, we are required to timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, to the extent required.

Dividends

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management for the period and year.

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder “opts out” of the plan to receive cash in lieu of having their dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 9, 2009, Accounting Standards Codification—Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments was issued. This standard requires disclosures about financial instruments, including fair value, carrying amount, and method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. We adopted this standard as of June 30, 2009 and the adoption of this standard did not affect our financial statement disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12 (“ASC Update 2009-12”), an update to Accounting Standards Codification—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This update provides guidance for reporting entities that calculate NAV per share and for which their investments do not have a readily determinable fair value. Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures became effective for our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. We adopted this standard beginning with our financial statements ended March 31, 2009 and, as required, applied this standard retroactively to all reported periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our calculations of earnings per share.

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

Our primary business is lending to and investing in middle-market businesses through investments in senior secured loans, junior secured loans, subordinated/mezzanine debt investments, investments in CLO Fund securities and other equity-based investments, which may include warrants.

Total portfolio investment activity (excluding activity in time deposit and money market investments) for the years ended December 31, 2009, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was as follows:

The level of investment activity for investments funded and principal repayments for our investments can vary substantially from period to period depending on the number and size of investments that we invest in or divest of, and many other factors, including the amount and competition for the debt and equity securities available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies and the general economic environment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The principal measure of our financial performance is the net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations which includes net investment income and net realized and unrealized gain (loss). Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees, and other investment income and our operating expenses. Net realized gain (loss) on investments, is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.

Set forth below is a discussion of our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Investment Income

Investment income for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $34 million, $49 million, and $38 million, respectively. Of this amount, approximately $24 million, $33 million and $30 million, respectively, was attributable to interest income on our loan and bond investments. A portion of such interest income is attributable to net interest earned on assets accumulated for future CLO issuance on which Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a first loss agreement in connection with loan warehouse arrangements for Katonah Debt Advisors CLO Funds. For the year ended December 31, 2008, approximately $107,000 of such net interest related to the first loss arrangements previously accrued was written off. For the year ended December 31, 2007, approximately $2 million of such net interest related to the first loss arrangements was earned. No such income was earned for the year ended December 31, 2009.

For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, approximately $9 million, $13 million and $7 million, respectively, of investment income was attributable to investments in CLO fund securities.

Investment income is primarily dependent on the composition and credit quality of our investment portfolio. Generally, our debt securities portfolio is expected to generate predictable, recurring interest income in accordance with the contractual terms of each loan. Corporate equity securities may pay a dividend and may increase in value for which a gain may be recognized; generally such dividend payments and gains are less predictable than interest income on our loan portfolio.

Dividends from CLO Fund securities are dependent on the performance of the underlying assets in each CLO Fund; interest payments, principal amortization and prepayments of the underlying loans in each CLO Fund are primary factors which determine the level of income on our CLO Fund securities. The level of excess spread from CLO Fund securities can be impacted by the timing and level of the resetting of the benchmark interest rate for the underlying assets (which reset at various times throughout the quarter) in the CLO Fund and the related CLO Fund bond liabilities (which reset at each quarterly distribution date); in periods of short-term and volatile changes in the benchmark interest rate, the levels of excess spread and distributions to us can vary significantly.

Dividends from Affiliate Asset Manager

As of December 31, 2009, our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors was approximately $58 million. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had pre-tax net income of approximately $2 million and made no distributions of net income. During the year ended December 31, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors had a pre-tax net loss of approximately $4 million and distributed approximately $1 million to us. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors had pre-tax net income of $3 million and distributed $500,000 to us. Distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ net income are recorded on the statements of operations as dividends from affiliate asset manager.

Expenses

Interest and compensation expense are generally expected to be our largest expenses each period. Interest expense is dependent on the average outstanding principal balance on our Facility and the base index rate for the period. Compensation expense includes base salaries, bonuses, stock compensation, employee benefits and employer related payroll costs. The largest components of total compensation costs are base salaries and bonuses; generally, base salaries are expensed as incurred and bonus expenses are estimated and accrued since bonuses are paid annually.

Total expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $16 million, $19 million, and $16 million, respectively. Interest expense and amortization on debt issuance costs for the period, which includes facility and program fees on the unused loan balance, was approximately $9 million, and $11 million, and $7 million, respectively, on average debt outstanding of $236 million, $248 million, and $106 million. As noted in footnote 6 of our financial statements, on August 28, 2009, we filed a complaint against our lenders alleging, among other things, that the lenders wrongfully and improperly triggered a default rate of interest under the terms of our lending facility. We are currently paying such default rate of interest under protest and such default interest is reflected as interest expense in our financial statements. The default rate of interest is calculated as 0.85% above the prime rate plus 0.75%, which is substantially higher than the non-default rate of interest, calculated as 0.85% above the prevailing commercial paper rate (or LIBOR if the commercial paper market is at any time unavailable), that would otherwise be paid.

For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, approximately $3 million, $4 million, and $4 million, respectively, of expenses were attributable to employment compensation, including salaries, bonuses and stock option expense. For the years ended

December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, professional fees and insurance expenses totaled approximately $2 million, $2 million, and $3 million, respectively. For the years ended the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, administrative and other costs totaled approximately $991,000, $1 million, and $1 million, respectively. These costs include occupancy expense, technology and other office expenses.

Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments

During the year ended December 31, 2009, our total investments had net unrealized appreciation of approximately $32 million. During the year ended December 31, 2008, our total investments had net unrealized depreciation of approximately $93 million, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, our total investments had net unrealized appreciation of $3 million.

The approximate $32 million of unrealized appreciation during the year ended December 31, 2009 are primarily due to unrealized gains of approximately $25 million and approximately $13 million on debt securities and CLO Fund securities, respectively, in our investment portfolio, offset in part by approximately a $7 million unrealized loss on equity securities. The $93 million of unrealized losses during the year ended December 31, 2008 were primarily due to unrealized losses of $58 million and $27 million on debt securities and CLO Fund securities, respectively, in our investment portfolio, as well as an approximate $9 million unrealized loss on Katonah Debt Advisors. Both the unrealized losses during the year ended December 31, 2008 and the unrealized gains during the year ended December 31, 2009 in our debt securities, CLO Fund securities and equity securities were due to trends in the broader market. The decrease in the unrealized value of Katonah Debt Advisors during the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily the result of a $28 million decrease in assets under management from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008 and a related settlement with JP Morgan regarding terminated warehouse facilities.

The $3 million of unrealized gains during the year ended December 31, 2007 were due to unrealized losses of approximately $18 million on debt securities, equity securities and CLO Fund securities in our investment portfolio, reduced by a $21 million increase in the value of Katonah Debt Advisors. The increase in the unrealized value of Katonah Debt Advisors was primarily as a result of an increase in Katonah Debt Advisors’ assets under management to $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2007 from $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2006.

Net Change in Stockholders’ Equity Resulting From Operations

The net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $34 million, or $1.56 per share. The net decrease in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $63 million, or $3.09 per share. The net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $26 million, or $1.45 per share.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain investments, pay dividends to our stockholders and other general business needs. We recognize the need to have funds available for operating our business and to make investments. We seek to have adequate liquidity at all times to cover normal cyclical swings in funding availability and to allow us to meet abnormal and unexpected funding requirements. We plan to satisfy our liquidity needs through normal operations with the goal of avoiding unplanned sales of assets or emergency borrowing of funds.

However, because we are required to use interest income earned on the assets securing the credit facility to amortize the credit facility during the amortization period (as described in greater detail below), we may need to sell other assets not pledged to secure the credit facility, potentially at a loss, in order to generate sufficient cash to make the required dividend distributions necessary to maintain our RIC status. In addition, at the end of the amortization period, we may be required to sell the remaining assets securing the credit facility, potentially at a loss, in order to pay any remaining outstanding borrowings or we may be required to enter into a new agreement with the lenders to provide for the continued amortization of the credit facility borrowings.

As a BDC, we are limited in the amount of leverage we can incur to finance our investment portfolio. In order to incur new debt, we are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities of at least 200%. For this purpose, senior securities include all borrowings and any preferred stock. As a result, our ability to utilize leverage as a means of financing our portfolio of investments is limited by this asset coverage test. Our asset coverage ratio was 198% as of December 31, 2009, below the minimum asset coverage level generally required by the 1940 Act for a BDC to incur new debt. See “Item 1. Business—Leverage.”

As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the fair value of investments and cash were as follows:


	Investments at Fair Value
Security Type	December 31, 2009		December 31, 2008

Total	$	413,246,029	$	460,760,602

On February 14, 2007, we entered into an arrangement under which we may obtain up to $200 million in financing (the “Facility”). On October 1, 2007, we amended the Facility to increase our borrowing capacity from $200 million to $275 million, extend the maturity date from February 12, 2012 to October 1, 2012 and increase the interest spread charged on outstanding borrowings by 15 basis points to 0.85%. The interest rate is based on prevailing commercial paper rates plus 0.85% or, if the commercial paper market is at any time unavailable, prevailing LIBOR rates plus an applicable spread. Interest is payable monthly.

Advances under the Facility (to the extent available to us) are used by us primarily to make additional investments. The Facility is secured by loans acquired by us with the advances under the Facility. We borrow under the Facility through our wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, Kohlberg Capital Funding LLC I (“KCAP Funding” or the “Borrower”). As described further below, we have not drawn on the Facility since August 2008.

In connection with the Facility, we are party to a Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2007 (as amended, the “LFSA”), by and among us, as the servicer, KCAP Funding, as the borrower, BMO Capital Markets Corp, as the agent (the “Agent”), U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as the trustee (the “Trustee”), and the other lender parties and other parties thereto. As of September 30, 2009 there were outstanding borrowings of approximately $228 million under the LFSA. In accordance with the terms of the LFSA, the financial assets acquired with the proceeds of borrowings under the LFSA are held in a securities account and are subject to a securities account control agreement granting the Agent certain rights in respect of such securities account and the financial assets held therein. As of December 31, 2009 there were financial assets held in the securities account with a market value of approximately $291 million. Borrowings under the Facility are secured only by these assets and amounts in respect of such assets on deposit in a concentration account that is subject to an intercreditor and concentration account administration agreement, and the Facility lenders do not have recourse to any other of our assets or the investment income associated with any such other assets. The assets securing the Facility represent approximately 66% of our total assets (at fair value) at December 31, 2009 and contributed approximately 62% of our investment income for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Termination Event and also asserted that the termination of the revolving period and commencement of the amortization period under the LFSA were wrongful. On August 28, 2009, we filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the Agent and other lender parties to the LFSA. The complaint reflects our beliefs that the termination of the revolving period and commencement of the amortization period under the LFSA were wrongful and that the assertions of alleged breaches of our obligations under the LFSA and the alleged occurrence of Termination Event(s) were without merit. The complaint also seeks to clarify our rights and obligations under the LFSA.

As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, the Company believes that it is not in material breach of its obligations under the LFSA, including the financial covenants. However, as described above and further in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings,” the Company and the Borrower are plaintiffs in a pending lawsuit against the Agent and the lenders involving the LFSA. While the Company and the Borrower intend to vigorously pursue the claims set forth in the complaint, neither the outcome of this litigation nor the amount and range of potential damages recoverable by the Company and the Borrower or their exposure associated with this litigation can be determined at this time. There can be no assurance that in connection with such lawsuit or otherwise the Agent and the lenders will not assert additional breaches of the LFSA, including breaches relating to the restatement described elsewhere in this Annual Report, and there can be no assurance that the Agent and the lenders will not assert that any such breaches give rise to a Termination Event. While the Company and the Borrower believe that they have meritorious claims against the Agent and the lenders in the pending lawsuit and, as a result, the breaches alleged by the Agent and the lenders are not valid in accordance with the terms of the LFSA, there is no assurance that the Company and the Borrower will prevail in such litigation. If the Company and the Borrower do not prevail, the Agent and the lenders may seek to pursue claims based on the alleged breaches, including claims involving a Termination Event. If the Agent and the lenders were to seek to accelerate and seize the collateral either at the end of the amortization period or otherwise, and the Company was unsuccessful in obtaining court relief, the Company could be forced to pay the remaining balance of the Facility (approximately $187 million as of April 30, 2010), which would adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and the Notes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report for further information relating to the LFSA and the complaint. We estimate that the portfolio of loans securing the Facility will be required to generate an annual rate of return of approximately 3% to cover annual interest payments on obligations incurred under the Facility.

The weighted average daily debt balance for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $236 million and $248 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest rate on weighted average outstanding borrowings was approximately 3% and 4%, respectively, which excludes the amortization of deferred financing costs and facility and program fees on unfunded balances. As of December 31, 2009, we had restricted cash balances of approximately $19 million, which we maintained in accordance with the terms of the Facility. Our Facility contains collateral requirements, including, but not limited to, minimum diversity, rating and yield, and limitations on loan size.

We are currently using any income generated by the assets collateralizing the Facility to pay principal, interest and other expenses of such Facility—despite the fact that, if we want to remain a RIC and continue to be afforded favorable tax treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we are required to distribute to the shareholders substantially all of our investment company taxable income, including the net amounts generated by the collateralized assets. These collateralized assets with a market value of approximately $291 million represent approximately 66% of our total assets (at fair value) at December 31, 2009 and contributed approximately 62% of the Company’s investment income for the year ended December 31, 2009. Because we are using net interest income earned on the assets securing the Facility to amortize the Facility during the amortization period, we may need to sell other assets not pledged to the Facility, potentially at a loss, in order to generate sufficient cash to make the required dividend distributions necessary to maintain our RIC status. In addition, at the end of the amortization period, we may be required to sell or transfer the remaining assets securing the Facility, potentially at a loss, to repay any remaining outstanding borrowings. Any such asset sale could adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. We expect that our cash on hand, liquid investments, and cash generated from operations, including income earned from investments and any income distributions made by Katonah Debt Advisors, our wholly-owned portfolio company, will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs and distribution requirements over the next twelve months.

If we are unable to renew or replace the Facility, our liquidity may be significantly reduced. If these conditions continue for a prolonged period of time, or worsen in the future, we could lose key employees and our business prospects could be negatively impacted. Even if we are able to renew or replace the Facility, such new debt capital may be at a higher cost and/or on less favorable terms and conditions than the Facility. In addition, equity capital is, and may continue to be, difficult to raise because, subject to limited exceptions, we may not issue and sell shares of our common stock at a price below NAV without stockholder approval and issuing equity at depressed stock prices can be dilutive to our stockholders. These factors and our inability to raise additional capital to date have resulted in a reduction in new originations, curtailed our ability to grow and have had a negative impact on our liquidity and operating results. The continued inability to raise additional capital could further constrain our liquidity, negatively impact our business prospects, cause the departure of key employees and negatively impact our operating results.

COMMITMENTS

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the needs of the Company’s investment in portfolio companies. Such instruments include commitments to extend credit and may involve, in varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized on our balance sheet. Prior to extending such credit, we attempt to limit our credit risk by conducting extensive due diligence, obtaining collateral where necessary and negotiating appropriate financial covenants. As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had committed to make a total of approximately $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of investments in various revolving senior secured loans, of which approximately $640,000 was funded as of December 31, 2009 and $1 million was funded as of December 31, 2008.

In October 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. (“Bear Stearns”) in connection with a warehouse credit line established to fund the initial accumulation of assets for three CLO Funds, pursuant to which agreement Katonah Debt Advisors undertook certain “first loss” commitments with respect to potential losses on assets purchased using the warehouse credit line. Such “first loss” commitments relate to (i) losses (if any) as a result of individual loan investments being ineligible for purchase by a new CLO Fund (typically due to a payment default on such loan) when such fund formation is completed or (ii) if a new CLO Fund has not been completed before the expiration of the related warehouse credit line, the loss (if any, and net of any accumulated interest income) on the resale of loans and debt securities funded by such warehouse credit line.

Under the Letter Agreement, Katonah Debt Advisors also engaged Bear Stearns to structure and raise three CLO Funds to be managed by Katonah Debt Advisors (directly or indirectly through a services contract with an affiliate of Katonah Debt Advisors). While one of these funds, the Katonah 2007-1 CLO Fund, in which Kohlberg Capital invested approximately $29 million to acquire all of the shares of the most junior class of securities, was completed, neither of the other 2008 CLO Funds were successfully raised.

As a result, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, both Katonah Debt Advisors and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMorgan”) (f/k/a Bear Stearns & Co. Inc.) asserted claims against each other and defenses thereto with respect to potential “first loss” payments. Without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, Katonah Debt Advisors and JPMorgan agreed to compromise and settle all of the disputes, issues and claims between them relating to the agreements in exchange for an agreement to terminate all obligations and

liabilities of Katonah Debt Advisors and JPMorgan under the existing agreements relating to the 2008 CLO Funds, payment by Katonah Debt Advisors of an aggregate of $6 million in installments over a period of one year and the forfeiture by Katonah Debt Advisors of the net interest income earned through the settlement date on the warehoused assets. In December 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a settlement and termination agreement with JPMorgan reflecting the settlement terms described above.

As a result of this settlement, Katonah Debt Advisors recognized a $6 million settlement cost and write-off of previously accrued net interest income on warehoused assets of approximately $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. We recognized the impact of this settlement and forfeiture of warehouse income as a non-cash reduction to the unrealized appreciation of our value of the investment in Katonah Debt Advisors and contributed additional equity to Katonah Debt Advisors. Consequently, this settlement is not expected to have a material impact on Kohlberg Capital’s net investment income or quarterly dividend.

Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our business activities contain elements of market risks. We consider our principal market risks to be fluctuations in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio. Managing these risks is essential to our business. Accordingly, we have systems and procedures designed to identify and analyze our risks, to establish appropriate policies and thresholds and to continually monitor these risks and thresholds by means of administrative and information technology systems and other policies and processes.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing intervals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest earning assets and our interest expense incurred in connection with our interest bearing debt and liabilities. Changes in interest rates can also affect, among other things, our ability to acquire and originate loans and securities and the value of our investment portfolio.

Our investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 91% of our loans at fair value in our portfolio were at floating rates with a spread to an interest rate index such as LIBOR or the prime rate. We generally expect that future portfolio investments will predominately be floating rate investments. As of December 31, 2009, we had $218 million of borrowings outstanding for which we are currently paying the default rate of interest under protest, which is calculated as 0.85% above the prime rate plus 0.75%.

Because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest the funds borrowed. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income if there is not a corresponding increase in interest income generated by floating rate assets in our investment portfolio.

We have analyzed the potential impact of changes in interest rates on interest income net of interest expense. Assuming that our balance sheet at December 31, 2009 were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 1% in interest rates would correspondingly affect net interest income proportionately by approximately $1 million over a one-year period. Accordingly, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 1% in interest rates would correspondingly affect net interest expense proportionately by approximately $1 million over a one-year period. Because most of our investments at December 31, 2009 were floating rate with a spread to an index similar to our financing facility, we would not expect a significant impact on our net interest spread or net asset value.

Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of the assets on the balance sheet and other business developments that could affect a net change in assets resulting from operations or net income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not materially differ from the potential outcome simulated by this estimate.

We did not hold any derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes as of December 31, 2009. In connection with the Facility, our special purpose subsidiary may be required under certain circumstances to enter into interest rate swap agreements or other interest rate hedging transactions.

Portfolio Valuation

We carry our investments at fair value, as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors pursuant to a valuation methodology approved by our Board of Directors. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at such market quotations. Investments for which there is not a readily available market value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors under a valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that cannot be marked to market, the fair value of our investments may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the value realized on these investments to be different than the valuations that are assigned. The types of factors that we may take into account in fair value

pricing of our investments include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, third party valuations, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly-traded securities, recent sales of or offers to buy comparable companies, and other relevant factors.

In connection with the restatement described above, we engaged VRC, an independent valuation firm, to provide third-party valuation estimates for approximately 39% and 40% of our investments at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. VRC’s valuation estimates were considered as one of the relevant data inputs in our determination of fair value. The Board of Directors intends to continue to engage an independent valuation firm in the future to provide certain valuation services, including the review of certain portfolio assets, as part of our annual year end valuation process.

Management retroactively applied its revised valuation procedures to our portfolio for each of the periods ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year), March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. As a result, we have restated the financial statements for each of those periods to correct the errors described elsewhere in this Annual Report. See “Explanatory Note” and “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.”

Item 9.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On January 12, 2010, Kohlberg Capital dismissed Deloitte as its registered public accounting firm. The Company took this action after discussions with the Staff of the SEC regarding the provisions in the 1940 Act relating to the selection and termination of a BDC’s independent public accountants and the circumstances surrounding Deloitte and the Company, including the fact that on January 5, 2010, Deloitte informed the Company that, as a result of and in response to a communication from the Company on January 4, 2010, Deloitte had concluded that it was not currently independent with respect to the Company. Both the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board’s Audit Committee approved the decision to dismiss Deloitte.

Prior to Deloitte’s dismissal, the Company and Deloitte disagreed with respect to the appropriateness of the methodology and procedures used by the Company under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to value the Company’s investments for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) and the interim periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. The Company does not believe that Deloitte, prior to this dismissal, provided its definitive views to the Company on the application of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to the valuation of the Company’s investments, and, as a result, the Company is unable to describe the effect on its financial statements had the accounting methodology that Deloitte apparently would have concluded was required been followed.

Item 9A.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report and as of December 31, 2008. Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding our required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to its evaluation, management determined that the Company did not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. As a result of our review of our accounting policies and practices in 2009 and 2010, and the restatement of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, we have not filed periodic reports on a timely basis, as required by the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market, since August 10, 2009. We continue to strive to improve our processes to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the applicable time periods.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. An adequate system of internal control over financial reporting encompasses the processes and procedures that have been established by management to:

•

Maintain records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions;

•

Provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statement and footnote disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and

•

Provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses in controls related to certain of the Company’s valuation processes that were not designed and operating effectively have been identified and included in management’s assessment.

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation under the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP because of the material weaknesses related to ineffective controls over the accounting for the fair value of illiquid investments and revenue recognition for certain non-cash PIK investments.

The Company did not maintain effective controls over the accounting for the fair value of its illiquid investments and revenue recognition for certain non-cash PIK investments. Specifically, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not properly designed to implement an appropriate valuation methodology and procedures to value the Company’s illiquid investments consistent with the requirements of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures as required by GAAP because the Company’s prior valuation procedures did not adequately take into account certain market inputs and other data as well as the impact of broader market activity on the fair value of the Company’s illiquid investments. In addition, the Company did not properly account for the income of certain non-cash PIK investments. This control deficiency relating to the fair value of the Company’s illiquid investments resulted in a material misstatement in their fair value and resulted in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. The control deficiency relating to revenue recognition for certain non-cash PIK investments resulted in the material misstatement of interest income and resulted in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009.

The Company did not maintain effective controls over its independent review of the fair value model valuation process. Specifically, the Company did not independently review (i) the appropriateness of the inputs and assumptions used in the model to produce the Company’s financial statements; and (ii) the accuracy and consistency of the calculations of the outputs used from the model to produce the Company’s financial statements. Because of this control deficiency, there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.

Based on the facts set forth above, management has concluded that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In connection with the restatement, the Company revised the valuation procedures applied to its illiquid investments and its accounting for its non-cash PIK investments. The Company now derives fair value for its illiquid investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using the Market Yield Approach and also considers recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual cash flows for an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the seniority or security interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield bond index, at the valuation date. The Company has identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related to its loan and debt investments. Because the Company has not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan and debt investments held by the Company and therefore uses the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant adjustment to better correlate such market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate may be applied to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used as part of the valuation methodology, their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used as security, structure, performance and other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting present value determination is then weighted along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such quotes are indicative of actual transactions with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation or distressed sales, relatively more reliance will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative of market transactions or are insufficient as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be compared with other fair value indications and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy. Management retroactively applied its revised valuation procedures to the Company’s portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. In addition, for investments which earn non-cash PIK interest and for which there has been a substantial decline in fair value due to underlying credit concerns for an extended period, the Company no longer accrues such non-cash PIK interest as income. As a result, the Company has restated the financial statements for each of those periods to reflect the use of these revised valuation and revenue recognition procedures. No financial statements for periods ended prior to January 1, 2008 are impacted by the restatement. The appropriateness of specific valuation methods and techniques may change as market conditions and available data change.

Remediation Activities and Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

To remediate these material weaknesses, the Company has revised its valuation procedures for estimating the fair value of its illiquid investments and has revised its accounting for non-cash PIK interest income, each as described above. Under the revised valuation procedures, management considers the following factors in determining the appropriate weighting of market inputs: comparability of the market input relative to the investment being valued, the source of the information, the correlation of the data to any actual observed transaction activity, the internal consistency of such inputs to other inputs noted by the same source, and other qualitative factors that may impact the reliability, comparability, or weighting of the inputs. In addition, for investments which earn non-cash PIK interest and for which there has been a substantial decline in fair value due to underlying credit concerns for an extended period, the Company no longer accrues such non-cash PIK interest as income. Management believes implementation of the foregoing measures will effectively remediate these material weaknesses. As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, the Company believes that it has corrected its accounting for the fair value of its investments and its accounting for its non-cash PIK investments to the extent necessary to prepare the restated financial statements and the other financial information contained herein. As the Company continues to evaluate and work to improve its internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify the remediation plan described above.

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within the Company have been detected.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Company’s financial statements have been audited by Grant Thornton, an independent registered public accounting firm, who was engaged on January 27, 2010. Grant Thornton’s attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which disclaims an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, is included herein. Grant Thornton was unable to perform auditing procedures necessary to form an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 due to the fact that (i) Grant Thornton was engaged after December 31, 2009 and (ii) changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in place at December 31, 2009 were made subsequent to December 31, 2009.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There have been no other changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, other than as described in this Item 9A regarding the described material weaknesses and related remediation efforts, subsequent to December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND DIRECTOR INFORMATION

Kohlberg Capital has a strong commitment to good corporate governance practices. These practices provide a framework within which Kohlberg Capital’s Board and management can pursue the strategic objectives of the Company and ensure its long-term growth for the benefit of shareholders. The Company’s corporate governance principles and practices are reviewed annually by the Board.

The Company does not have a nominating committee, as the Board believes that the nomination procedure can best be effectuated by delegating to a majority of the directors of Kohlberg Capital who are Independent Directors the power to recommend director nominees for selection by the Board, in accordance with the Board’s resolution governing the nomination procedure. In executing this power, the Independent Directors determine the requisite standards or qualifications for Board nominees. In the event that a director position is vacated or created and/or in contemplation of a shareholders’ meeting at which one or more directors are to be elected, the Independent Directors will identify potential candidates to become members of the Board. In identifying potential candidates, the Independent Directors may consider candidates recommended by any of the Independent Directors or by any other source the Independent Directors deem appropriate. The Independent Directors may, but are not required to, retain a third party search firm at the Company’s expense to identify potential candidates.

The Independent Directors will consider qualified director nominees recommended by shareholders when such recommendations are submitted in accordance with the Company’s bylaws and other applicable laws, rules or regulations regarding director nominations. When submitting a nomination to the Company for consideration, a shareholder must provide certain information that would be required under applicable SEC rules, including the following minimum information for each director nominee: full name, age, and address; class, series and number of shares of stock of the Company beneficially owned by the nominee, if any; the date such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition; whether such shareholder believes the individual is an “interested person” of the Company, as defined in the 1940 Act; and all other information required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest or that is otherwise required.

In considering and evaluating candidates, the Independent Directors may take into account a wide variety of factors, including (but not limited to):

•

availability and commitment of a candidate to attend meetings and to perform his or her responsibilities on the Board;

•

relevant business and related industry experience;

•

educational background;

•

financial expertise;

•

experience with corporate governance matters;

•

an assessment of the candidate’s ability, judgment and expertise;

•

overall diversity of the composition of the Board;

•

the percentage of the Board represented by Independent Directors and whether a candidate would qualify as an Independent Director; and

•

such other factors as the Independent Directors deem appropriate.

The Independent Directors identify nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to the Company’s business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board with that of obtaining new perspectives. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service, if the Independent Directors or the Board decide not to nominate a member for re-election or if the Independent Directors recommend to expand the size of the Board, the Independent Directors identify the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria set forth above. Current Independent Directors and members of the Board provide suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria considered by the Independent Directors. Consultants may also be engaged to assist in identifying qualified individuals.

The Board has affirmatively determined that the following directors are Independent Directors:

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

Unless otherwise indicated, the discussion and analysis below relates to compensation of executive officers of both the Company and Katonah Debt Advisors, the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio company.

Executive compensation in 2009 reflected both the difficult financial market conditions as well as the Company’s solid operating performance. In determining bonus awards for 2009 and evaluating possible salary increases for 2010, the Compensation Committee considered the following factors:

•

Selection and maintenance of strong credit characteristics for the investment portfolio—limited defaulted assets in the investment portfolio and limited realized losses;

•

Payment of a dividend entirely out of current net income, consistent with the Company’s goal not to rely on capital gains or paid-in-kind interest;

•

Modest reduction of the dividend during 2009, reflecting current market conditions and the impact of the Company’s dispute with its lenders; and

•

General comparisons of discretionary compensation among lending institutions and asset management firms due to difficult market conditions.

As a result, the Compensation Committee awarded 2009 performance bonuses to all of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table equal to their minimum target bonus amounts as determined in 2009 and also determined that none of these individuals would receive merit increases to base salary in 2010.

Primary Objectives

The primary objectives of the Compensation Committee of the Board with respect to executive compensation are to attract, retain and motivate the best possible executive talent. The focus is to tie short- and long-term cash and equity incentives to achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance objectives and to align executives’ incentives with stockholder value creation. To achieve these objectives, the Compensation Committee maintains compensation plans that tie a substantial portion of executives’ overall compensation to the Company’s operational performance. The structure of the executives’ base and incentive compensation is designed to encourage and reward the following:

•

sourcing and pursuing attractively priced investment opportunities;

•

participating in comprehensive due diligence with respect to the Company’s investments;

•

ensuring the most effective allocation of capital; and

•

working efficiently and developing relationships with other professionals.

Benchmarking of Compensation

Management develops the Company’s compensation plans by utilizing publicly available compensation data and subscription compensation survey data for national and regional companies in the middle market lending industry and in particular other publicly-traded, internally managed BDCs. The Company believes that the practices of this group of companies provide the Company with appropriate compensation benchmarks because these companies have similar organizational structures and tend to compete with the Company for executives and other employees. For benchmarking executive compensation, the Company typically reviews the compensation data the Company has collected from the complete group of companies, as well as a subset of the data from those companies that have a similar number of employees and a similar investment portfolio as the Company.

Pay-for-Performance Philosophy

Based on management’s analyses and recommendations, the Compensation Committee has approved a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, which is intended to bring base salaries and total executive compensation in line with approximately the fiftieth percentile of the companies with a similar number of employees represented in the compensation data the Company reviews. The Company works within the framework of this pay-for-performance philosophy to determine each component of an executive’s initial compensation package based on numerous factors, including:

•

the individual’s particular background and circumstances, including training and prior relevant work experience;

•

the individual’s role with the Company and the compensation paid to similar persons in the companies represented in the compensation data that the Company reviews;

•

the demand for individuals with the individual’s specific expertise and experience at the time of hire;

•

performance goals and other expectations for the position;

•

comparison to other executives within the Company having similar levels of expertise and experience; and

•

uniqueness of industry skills.

Setting and Assessment of Performance Goals; Role of Chief Executive Officer

The Compensation Committee has also implemented an annual performance management program, under which annual performance goals are determined and set forth in writing at the beginning of each calendar year for the Company as a whole and for each individual employee. Annual corporate goals are proposed by management and approved by the Board at the end of each calendar year for the following year. These corporate goals target the achievement of specific strategic, operational and financial milestones. Annual individual goals focus on contributions which facilitate the achievement of the corporate goals and are set during the first quarter of each calendar year. Individual goals are proposed by each employee and approved by his or her direct supervisor. The Chief Executive Officer’s goals are approved by the Compensation Committee. Annual salary increases, annual bonuses and annual stock option awards granted to the Company’s employees are tied to the achievement of these corporate and individual performance goals.

The performance goals for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive management are as follows:

•

achievement of the Company’s dividend objectives (emphasizing both growth and stability);

•

growth of the Company’s investment portfolio;

•

maintenance of the credit quality and financial performance of the Company’s investment portfolio;

•

development of the Company’s human resources; and

•

development of the Company’s financial and information systems.

The performance goals for senior executives of Katonah Debt Advisors are as follows:

•

increase in Katonah Debt Advisors’ assets under management and diversification of such assets;

•

increase in revenue and income distributable by Katonah Debt Advisors to the Company;

•

performance of fund assets managed by Katonah Debt Advisors, particularly with respect to credit quality; and

•

development of Katonah Debt Advisors’ human resources.

The Company believes that the current performance goals are realistic “stretch” goals that should be reasonably attainable by management.

During the first calendar quarter, the Company evaluates individual and corporate performance against the written goals for the recently completed year. Consistent with the Company’s compensation philosophy, each employee’s evaluation begins with a written self-assessment, which is submitted to the employee’s supervisor. The supervisor then prepares a written evaluation based on the employee’s self-assessment, the supervisor’s own evaluation of the employee’s performance and input from others within the Company. This process leads to a recommendation for annual employee salary increases, annual stock-based compensation awards and bonuses, if any, which is then reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. The Company’s executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, submit their self-assessments to the Chief Executive Officer, who performs the individual evaluations and submits recommendations to the Compensation Committee for salary increases, bonuses and stock-based compensation awards. In the case of the Chief Executive Officer, his individual performance evaluation is conducted by the Compensation Committee, which determines his compensation changes and awards. For all employees, including the Company’s executive officers, annual base salary increases, annual stock-based compensation awards and annual bonuses, to the extent granted, are implemented during the first calendar quarter of the year.

Compensation Components

The Company’s compensation package consists of the following components, each of which the Company deems instrumental in motivating and retaining its executives:

Base Salary

Base salaries for the Company’s executives are established based on the scope of their responsibilities and their prior relevant background, training and experience, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by the companies represented in the compensation data the Company reviews for similar positions and the overall market demand for such executives at the time of hire. As with total executive compensation, the Company believes that

executive base salaries should generally target the fiftieth percentile of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions and with similar responsibilities in companies of similar size to the Company. An executive’s base salary is also evaluated together with other components of the executive’s compensation to ensure that the executive’s total compensation is in line with the Company’s overall compensation philosophy.

Base salaries are reviewed annually as part of the Company’s performance management program and increased for merit reasons, based on the executive’s success in meeting or exceeding individual performance objectives and an assessment of whether significant corporate goals were achieved. The Company also realigns base salaries with market levels for the same positions in companies of similar size to the Company represented in the compensation data the Company reviews if necessary and if the Company identifies significant market changes in the Company’s data analysis. Additionally, the Company adjusts base salaries as warranted throughout the year for promotions or other changes in the scope or breadth of an executive’s role or responsibilities.

Annual Bonus

The Company’s compensation program includes eligibility for an annual performance-based cash bonus in the case of all executives and certain senior, non-executive employees. The amount of the cash bonus depends on the level of achievement of the stated corporate and individual performance goals. As set forth in their employment agreements, Messrs. Pearson and Corless are currently eligible for annual performance-based cash bonuses of no less than $450,000 and $200,000, respectively; Mr. Wirth is currently eligible for an aggregate annual performance-based cash bonus from Kohlberg Capital and Katonah Debt Advisors of no less than $375,000; Mr. Kratzman is currently eligible for an annual bonus from Katonah Debt Advisors of no less than $650,000 and no more than $1,000,000 and an additional incentive bonus of up to $450,000 for reaching certain additional performance targets; and Mr. Stack is eligible for target annual performance-based cash bonus from Katonah Debt Advisors of $175,000. The amounts of the annual cash bonuses paid to Messrs. Pearson, Wirth and Corless are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The amount of the annual cash bonuses paid to Messrs. Kratzman and Stack is determined by the Management Committee of Katonah Debt Advisors. In each case, the annual bonus award is based on the individual performance of each of Messrs. Pearson, Wirth, Corless, Kratzman and Stack and on the performance of the Company against goals established annually by the Board, in the case of Messrs. Pearson, Wirth and Corless, and by the Management Committee of Katonah Debt Advisors, in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack, after consultation with the individual. All bonuses are subject to an annual increase, solely at the discretion of the Board or the Management Committee of Katonah Debt Advisors (as applicable), and in its discretion, the Compensation Committee or the Management Committee of Katonah Debt Advisors (as applicable) may award bonus payments to the Company’s executives above or below the amounts specified in their respective employment agreements.

Long-Term Incentives

The Company believes that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages long-term participation by the Company’s executive officers in equity-based awards. The Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan currently allows the grant to executive officers of stock options, restricted stock or other stock-based awards. The Company typically makes an initial equity award to certain new senior level employees and annual grants as part of the Company’s overall compensation program. All grants of awards pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan are approved by the Board. The Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is designed to allow, but not require, the grant of awards that qualify under an exception to the deduction limit of Section 162(m) of the Code for “performance-based compensation.”

Initial stock-based awards. Executives who join the Company are awarded initial grants of options or restricted stock. Options awarded as part of these grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The vesting schedule and other terms of these awards are determined by the Board. The amount of the initial award is determined based on the executive’s position with the Company and an analysis of the competitive practices of companies similar in size to the Company represented in the compensation data that the Company reviews. The initial awards are intended to provide the executive with an incentive to build value in the organization over an extended period of time. The amount of the initial award is also reviewed in light of the executive’s base salary and other compensation to ensure that the executive’s total compensation is in line with the Company’s overall compensation philosophy. The grant date for awards for existing employees is the later of the date that the Board approved the grant or the date that the Company and the employee have reached a mutual understanding as to the amount and terms of such grant. For prospective employees, the grant date is the date upon which the Company and the employee have reached an agreement regarding the terms of employment and the terms of the award granted by the Board, and the employment has commenced (thus such date is typically the first day of employment). All of the grant dates are approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee.

Annual stock-based awards. The Company’s practice is to make annual stock based awards as part of the Company’s overall performance management program. However, in 2009, no awards of shares of the Company’s restricted common stock were made to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table (with the exception of Mr. Kratzman, who received an award of restricted common stock pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, as described below under “—Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Year 2009”). The Compensation Committee believes that stock-based awards provide management with a strong link to long-term corporate performance and the creation of stockholder value. The Company intends that the annual aggregate value of these awards be set near competitive median levels for companies represented in the compensation data the Company reviews. As is the case when the amounts of base salary and initial equity awards are determined, a review of all components of the executive’s compensation is conducted when determining annual equity awards to ensure that an executive’s total compensation conforms to the Company’s overall philosophy and objectives. A pool of stock-based awards is reserved for executives and other officers based on setting a target grant level for each employee category, with the higher ranked employees being eligible for a higher target grant. The Compensation Committee meets in the fourth quarter of each year to evaluate, review and recommend for the Board’s approval the annual stock-based award design, level of award and prospective grant date of such award for each named executive officer and the Chief Executive Officer. For promotions or new hires, the Compensation Committee approves the award in advance of the grant date, and the stock-based grant is awarded on the determined date at the Company’s closing market price per share. The Company uses a Binary Option Pricing Model (American, call option) to establish the expected value of all stock option grants.

Other Compensation

The Company and Katonah Debt Advisors maintain broad-based benefits and perquisites that are provided to all employees, including health, life and disability insurance and a 401(k) plan. The Company and Katonah Debt Advisors participate in a defined contribution plan for their executive officers and employees. In particular circumstances, the Company also utilizes cash signing bonuses when certain executives and senior non-executives join the Company. Such cash signing bonuses typically either vest during a period of less than a year or are repayable in full to the Company if the employee recipient voluntarily terminates employment with the Company prior to the first anniversary of the date of hire. Whether a signing bonus is paid and the amount thereof are determined on a case-by-case basis under the specific hiring circumstances. For example, the Company will consider paying signing bonuses to compensate for amounts forfeited by an executive upon terminating prior employment, to assist with relocation expenses and/or to create an additional incentive for an executive to join the Company in a position where there is high market demand.

Termination-Based Compensation

Severance. If terminated without cause or by the executive for good reason (each as defined in the applicable employment agreement) or as a result of death or disability, each of Messrs. Pearson, Wirth, Corless, Kratzman and Stack (or his designated beneficiary or estate) is entitled to receive (i) his base salary and contributions toward health insurance premiums for the remaining term of the agreement (or, if greater, six months after such termination); provided, that if the remaining term of the agreement exceeds six months (one year in the case of Mr. Kratzman), the Company (or Katonah Debt Advisors in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack) may elect to cease continuation of base salary and contributions toward health insurance premiums at any point following the six-month (one year in the case of Mr. Kratzman) anniversary of such termination so long as the Company (or Katonah Debt Advisors in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack) releases the executive from his remaining non-competition and non-solicitation obligations as of such date; (ii) any base salary earned but not paid through the date of termination; (iii) vacation time accrued but not used to that date; and (iv) any bonus compensation to which the executive is entitled in respect of the year of termination, prorated to the date of termination, all on the condition that the executive sign a release of claims. In addition to the benefits described above, the executive will be entitled to a further six months of base salary and contributions toward health insurance premiums (i.e., for a total of one year or 18 months in the case of Mr. Kratzman) if he is terminated by the Company (or Katonah Debt Advisors in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack) within 90 days following a change in control involving the Company (defined to include the acquisition by any person (or group) of the beneficial ownership of 33% or more of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock or the voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; the failure of the incumbent board of directors (or successors designated thereby) to constitute a majority of the Company’s board of directors; the approval by shareholders of a merger, consolidation or other reorganization transaction in which the Company’s shareholders do not, at closing, own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving entity; and a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets).

The terms of the employment agreements with Messrs. Pearson, Wirth and Corless will expire on December 31, 2010 and the term of the employment agreement with Mr. Kratzman is set to expire on December 31, 2011. Upon their expiration, the agreements with Messrs. Pearson, Wirth, Corless and Kratzman automatically renew for successive one year periods unless terminated in writing by either party upon thirty days written notice. The employment agreement with Mr. Stack provides for an indefinite term. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company, in the case of Messrs. Pearson, Wirth or Corless, or Katonah Debt Advisors, in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack, waives the non-competition provisions in the applicable employment agreements at any point after six months (one month in the case of Mr. Kratzman) from the date of termination, then the continued salary and benefits payments cease. All severance payments are conditioned on the execution of a signed release of claims in the form provided by the Company, in the case of Messrs. Pearson, Wirth and Corless, or by Katonah Debt Advisors, in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack, and upon that release not being subsequently revoked. In determining whether to approve the terms of such severance arrangements, the Board, in the case of Messrs. Pearson, Wirth and Corless, and the Management Committee of Katonah Debt Advisors, in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack, took into account that the employment agreements contain non-competition covenants that would be binding on the executives following their termination.

Acceleration of vesting of equity-based awards. In general, all unvested options and unvested shares of restricted common stock held by an employee are forfeited immediately upon that employee’s termination, whether or not for cause. Under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, however, the Board may, if it so chooses, provide in the case of any award for post-termination exercise provisions, including a provision that accelerates all or a portion of any award, but in no event may any award be exercised after its expiration date.

Conclusion

The compensation policies of the Company and Katonah Debt Advisors are designed to motivate and retain their respective senior executive officers and to ultimately reward them for outstanding individual and corporate performance.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements

Change of Control Arrangements in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan

Under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, in the event of a Covered Transaction (as defined below), all outstanding, unexercised options, restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will terminate and cease to be exercisable, and all other awards to the extent not fully vested (including awards subject to conditions not yet satisfied or determined) will be forfeited, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion on or prior to the effective date of the Covered Transaction take any (or any combination of) the following actions, as to some or all outstanding awards:

•

make any outstanding option exercisable in full;

•

remove any performance or other conditions or restrictions on any award;

•

in the event of a Covered Transaction under the terms of which holders of the shares of the Company will receive upon consummation thereof a payment for each such share surrendered in the Covered Transaction (whether cash, non-cash or a combination of the foregoing), make or provide for a payment (with respect to some or all of the awards) to the participant equal in the case of each affected award to the difference between (A) the fair market value of a share of common stock times the numbers of shares subject to such outstanding award (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the fair market value) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all shares subject to such outstanding award, in each case on such payment terms (which need not be the same as the terms of payment to holders of shares) and other terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Board determines; and

•

with respect to an outstanding award held by a participant who, following the Covered Transaction, will be employed by or otherwise providing services to an entity which is a surviving or acquiring entity in the Covered Transaction or any affiliate of such an entity, at or prior to the effective time of the Covered Transaction, in its sole discretion and in lieu of the action described in the three preceding bullets, arrange to have such surviving or acquiring entity or affiliate assume any award held by such participant outstanding hereunder or grant a replacement award which, in the judgment of the Board is substantially equivalent to any award being replaced.

Under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, a “Covered Transaction” is a (i) sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, consolidation, merger, or similar transaction or series of related transactions in which Kohlberg Capital is not the surviving corporation or which results in the acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert; (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or (iii) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company. Where a Covered Transaction involves a tender offer that is reasonably expected to be followed by a merger described in clause (i) (as determined by the Board), the Covered Transaction shall be deemed to have occurred upon consummation of the tender offer.

Termination of Employment Provisions in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan

Unless the Board expressly provides otherwise, immediately upon the cessation of employment or services of a participant in the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, all awards to the extent not already vested terminate and all awards requiring exercise cease to be exercisable and terminate, except that:

•

When a participant’s employment or services are ceased for Cause (as defined below), all options, vested and unvested, immediately terminate;

•

For vested options held by a participant immediately prior to his or her death, to the extent then exercisable, the options remain exercisable for the lesser of a period of 180 days following the participant’s death or the period ending on the latest date on which those options could have been exercised had there been no cessation of employment or services; and

•

In all other cases, all vested options held by the participant immediately prior to the cessation of his or her employment, to the extent then exercisable, remain exercisable for the lesser of a period of 90 days or the period ending on the latest date on which that option could have been exercised had there been no cessation of employment or services.

Under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, “Cause” has the same meaning as provided in the employment agreement between the participant and the Company or its affiliate, provided that if the participant is not a party to any such agreement, “Cause” means (i) the participant’s chronic alcoholism or drug addiction; (ii) fraud, embezzlement, theft, dishonesty, or any deliberate misappropriation of any material amount of money or other assets or property of the Company or any of its affiliates by the participant; (iii) willful failure to perform, or gross negligence in the performance of, the participant’s duties and responsibilities to the Company and its affiliates; (iv) the participant’s material breach of any agreement between the participant and the Company or its affiliates, except where the breach is caused by incapacity or disability of the participant; (v) a charge, indictment or conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere by, the participant to a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude; (vi) the participant’s material breach of his fiduciary duties as an officer, trustee or director of the Company or any of its affiliates; (vii) the participant’s willful refusal or failure to carry out a lawful and reasonable written directive of the Board or its designee, which failure or refusal does not cease within 15 days after written notice of such failure is given to the participant by the Company; or (viii) the participant’s willful misconduct which has, or could be reasonably expected to have, a material adverse effect upon the business, interests or reputation of the Company or any of its affiliates.

The Board may provide in the case of any award for post-termination exercise provisions different from those set forth above, including, without limitation, terms allowing a later exercise by a former employee (or, in the case of a former employee who is deceased, the person or persons to whom the award is transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution) as to all or any portion of the award not exercisable immediately prior to termination of employment or other service, but in no case may an award be exercised after the latest date on which it could have been exercised had there been no cessation of employment or services.

Termination of Employment Provisions in Employment Agreements

Each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table has an employment agreement pursuant to which the Company, in the case of Messrs. Pearson, Wirth and Corless, or Katonah Debt Advisors, in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack, must make payments and provide certain benefits upon termination of employment. If any of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table is terminated other than for cause (as defined below) or terminates their employment for good reason, such officer is entitled to receive (i) his base salary and contributions toward health insurance premiums for the remaining term of the agreement (or, if greater, six months after such termination); provided, that if the remaining term of the agreement exceeds six months (one year in the case of Mr. Kratzman), the Company (or Katonah Debt Advisors in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack) may elect to cease continuation of base salary and contributions toward health insurance premiums at any point following the six-month (one year in the case of Mr. Kratzman) anniversary of such termination so long as the Company (or Katonah Debt Advisors in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack) releases the executive from his remaining non-competition and non-solicitation obligations as of such date; (ii) any base salary earned but not paid through the date of termination; (iii) vacation time accrued but not used to that date; and (iv) any bonus compensation to which the executive is entitled in respect of the year of termination, prorated to the date of termination, all on the condition that the executive sign a release of claims. In addition to the benefits described above, the executive will be entitled to a further six months of base salary and contributions toward health insurance premiums (i.e., for a total of one year or 18 months in the case of Mr. Kratzman) if he is terminated by the Company (or Katonah Debt Advisors in the case of Messrs. Kratzman and Stack) within 90 days following a change in control involving the Company (defined to include the acquisition by any person (or group) of the beneficial ownership of 33% or more of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock or the voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; the failure of the incumbent board of directors (or successors designated thereby) to constitute a majority of the Company’s board of directors; the approval by shareholders of a merger, consolidation or other reorganization transaction in which the Company’s shareholders do not, at closing, own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving entity; and a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets).

In the event of death of any of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, any amounts owed to the decedent under the applicable employment agreement will be paid to the decedent’s estate or to his designated successor or assigns. In the event of a disability which renders the officer unable to continue to perform substantially all of his duties and responsibilities under his employment agreement, the officer is entitled to continued payment of his base salary and benefits for up to 12 weeks of disability during any period of 365 consecutive calendar days. If the officer is unable to return to work after 12 weeks of disability, the Company, in the case of Messrs. Pearson, Wirth or Corless, or Katonah Debt Advisors, in the case of Messrs. Kratzman or Stack, may terminate his employment.

For purposes of the employment agreements with the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, “cause” means (i) a repeated material failure to perform (other than by reason of disability), or gross negligence in the performance of, duties and responsibilities to the Company or any of its Affiliates which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure or negligence is delivered to the employee; (ii) a material breach of this agreement or any other agreement between the employee and the Company or any of its Affiliates which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is delivered to the employee; or (iii) commission by the employee of a felony involving moral turpitude or fraud with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

For purposes of the employment agreements with the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, “good reason” means : (i) material diminution in the nature or scope of the employee’s responsibilities, duties or authority; (ii) failure by the Company to pay the minimum Bonus Compensation set forth in any year under the employee’s letter agreement if they have achieved the annual financial target referenced therein; or (iii) being required to relocate to a principal place of employment outside of the New York metropolitan area. In addition, a change in reporting relationships resulting from a Change in Control will constitute Good Reason and a termination of the employee’s employment by the employee for any reason during the 90-day period immediately following a Change in Control shall be deemed to be a termination for Good Reason.

With respect to Messrs. Kratzman and Stack, references to “Company” in the definitions above mean Katonah Debt Advisors.

The following table sets forth estimated payment obligations to each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation table, assuming a termination on December 31, 2009.

C. Michael Jacobi		2,500
Albert G. Pastino		2,500
C. Turney Stevens		2,500
Christopher Lacovara		—
Samuel P. Frieder		—

The outstanding options awards consist of the unvested portion of the grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares made to each of the Independent Directors on June 13, 2009. Of such option, 50% vested on the grant date and 50% will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. The exercise price of such option is $4.93 per share and the option expires on the 10th anniversary of the grant date.

(2)

Amounts reflect the grant date fair value of stock options in accordance with ASC 718. Grant date fair value is based on a Binary Option Pricing Model (American, call option) for use in valuing stock options. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are shown in Note 11, “Equity Incentive Plan—Stock Options,” to our audited financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(3)	Consists of cash dividends on restricted stock received upon conversion of previously granted options. All of the shares of restricted stock held by Messrs. Lacovara and Frieder vested on July 1, 2009 and, accordingly, there were no such shares outstanding as of December 31, 2009.

(4)	Messrs. Lacovara and Frieder are not Independent Directors because they are officers of the Company.

Director Compensation Policy

As compensation for serving on the Board, each of the Independent Directors receives an annual fee of $27,000 (in December 2009, an increase of $2,000 was implemented effective January 1, 2009 for the year 2009 and subsequent years) and an additional $1,500 per Board meeting attended in person and $750 per Board meeting attended telephonically. Employee directors and Non-Independent Directors do not receive compensation for serving on the Board. Independent Directors who serve on Board committees receive cash compensation in addition to the compensation they receive for service on the Board. The chairperson of the Company’s Audit Committee receives an additional $10,000 per year, the chairperson of each other committee of the Board receives an additional $5,000 per year and all committee members receive an additional $500 for each committee meeting they attend. In addition, Mr. Lacovara is entitled to an annual amount of $100,000 as compensation for his duties as Chairman of the Board. The Company also reimburses its directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board.

Pursuant to the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan, the Independent Directors may be issued options to purchase our common stock as a portion of their compensation for service on the Board in accordance with the terms of exemptive relief granted by the SEC in April 2008. A description of the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan is provided under “—Equity Incentive Plans—2008 Non-Employee Director Plan” below.

Equity Incentive Plans

Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan was originally approved by the Board of Managers of Kohlberg Capital, LLC on November 27, 2006 and by the members of Kohlberg Capital, LLC on December 11, 2006, prior to the conversion of Kohlberg Capital, LLC into Kohlberg Capital Corporation. Effective June 13, 2008, the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan was amended and restated pursuant to a vote of the Company’s shareholders at the 2008 Annual Shareholder Meeting. Under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may grant options to acquire shares and, to the extent permitted by exemptive or other relief that may be granted by the SEC or its staff, other share-based awards, including without limitation restricted shares and options to acquire restricted shares. There are 2,000,000 shares of common stock currently reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. As of May 5, 2010, 302,139 shares of restricted stock were outstanding, 125,333 shares of restricted stock had vested, 1,572,528 shares were available for future grants and no options were outstanding under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

In accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the Board has authorized the Compensation Committee to administer the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, but has retained the authority to make grants. In accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee will determine the terms of options and other awards, including:

•

the determination of which employees will be granted options, restricted stock and other awards;

•

the number of shares subject to options, shares of restricted stock and other awards;

•

the exercise price of each option, which may not be less than fair market value (or, if no fair market value exists at the time of issuance, the current NAV) of the shares subject to the award on the date of grant;

•

the schedule upon which options become exercisable or upon which a restricted stock award vests (including any performance criteria applicable to restricted stock awards);

•

the termination or cancellation provisions applicable to options and restricted stock awards;

•

the terms and conditions of other awards, including conditions for repurchase, termination or cancellation, issue price and repurchase price; and

•

all other terms and conditions upon which each award may be granted in accordance with the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

No participant may receive awards of options for over 1,000,000 shares of common stock or over 500,000 shares of restricted stock in any year. The aggregate number of shares of restricted stock that may be issued under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan may not exceed 10% of the outstanding shares on June 13, 2008, the effective date of the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, plus 10% of the number of shares issued or delivered by the Company (other than pursuant to compensation plans) during the term of the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. No one person may be granted more than 25% of the shares of restricted stock reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, the amount of voting securities that would result from the exercise of all of the Company’s outstanding warrants, options and rights, together with any restricted stock issued by the Company, at the time of issuance may not exceed 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, except that if the amount of voting securities that would result from the exercise of all the Company’s outstanding warrants, options and rights issued to the Company’s directors, officers and employees, together with any restricted stock issued by the Company, would exceed 15% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, the total amount of voting securities that would result from the exercise of all outstanding warrants, options and rights, together with any restricted stock issued by the Company, at the time of issuance may not exceed 20% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.

The Board or any committee to which the Board delegates authority may, with the consent of any adversely affected Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan participants and to the extent permitted by law, reprice or otherwise amend outstanding awards consistent with the terms of the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. No share may be repriced other than in accordance with the 1940 Act and the applicable shareholder approval requirements of The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

In the case of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar change, the number and kind of shares subject to options, shares of restricted stock and other stock-based awards then outstanding or subsequently granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the exercise price of such awards, the maximum number of shares that may be delivered under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, and other relevant provisions shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board. The Board may also adjust the number of shares subject to outstanding awards, the exercise price of outstanding awards, and the terms of outstanding awards to take into consideration material changes in accounting practices or principles, extraordinary dividends, consolidations or mergers, acquisitions or dispositions of securities or property (with the exception of those that qualify as “Covered Transaction,” in which case the Board may take any one or more of the actions described above under “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control—Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements—Change of Control Arrangements in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan”), or any other event if it is determined by the Board that such adjustment is appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. However, the exercise price of options granted under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will not be adjusted unless the Company receives an exemptive order from the SEC or written confirmation from the SEC staff that the Company may do so.

2008 Non-Employee Director Plan

Effective June 13, 2008, the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan was adopted by the Board and was approved by a vote of the Company’s shareholders at the 2008 Annual Shareholder Meeting. Under the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan, the Company may grant options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. There are 75,000 shares of common stock currently reserved for issuance under the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan. As of May 5, 2010, 40,000 shares were subject to outstanding options and options to acquire 35,000 shares were available for future grants under the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan.

Under the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan, the Company’s non-employee directors automatically receive options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the date of each annual meeting of shareholders during the term of the plan. The options immediately vest as to one-half of the option grant and as to the remaining one-half of the option grant on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of such grant, or (ii) the date immediately preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders, so that vesting for one hundred percent (100%) of the option grant occur one year after the date of grant so long as the non-employee director remains in service on such date. In addition, a non-employee director who is appointed to serve on the Board outside of the annual election cycle shall automatically be granted a pro rata portion of the option grant on the date of such appointment to the Board (i.e., such non-employee director will receive a grant of options for a number of shares equal to the product of (x) the number of full months remaining until the next annual meeting of shareholders divided by twelve and (y) 5,000). One-half of such pro rata grant vests immediately and the remaining one-half of such pro rata grant vests on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the preceding annual meeting of shareholders, or (ii) the date immediately preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders. The exercise price of an option may not be less than the current market value of, or if no such market value exists, the current NAV of, the shares as determined in good faith by the Board on the date of grant.

In accordance with the terms of the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan, the Board has authorized the Compensation Committee to administer the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan, but has retained the authority to make grants. In accordance with the provisions of the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan, the Compensation Committee will determine the terms of option awards, including:

•

the determination of which directors will be granted options, restricted stock and other awards;

•

the number of shares subject to options;

•

the schedule upon which options become exercisable;

•

the termination or cancellation provisions applicable to options; and

•

all other terms and conditions upon which each option award may be granted in accordance with the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan.

Unless the Board expressly provides otherwise, immediately upon the cessation of the director’s service, all options to the extent not already vested terminate and all awards requiring exercise cease to be exercisable and terminate, except that:

•

When the director’s services are ceased for Cause (as defined below), all options, vested and unvested, immediately terminate;

•

For vested options held by the director immediately prior to his or her death, to the extent then exercisable, the options remain exercisable for the lesser of a period of 180 days following the director’s death or the period ending on the latest date on which those options could have been exercised had there been no cessation of services; and

•

In all other cases, all vested options held by the director immediately prior to the cessation of his or her services, to the extent then exercisable, remain exercisable for the lesser of a period of 90 days or the period ending on the latest date on which that option could have been exercised had there been no cessation of services.

Under the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan, “Cause” means (i) commission of a felony or of a crime involving moral turpitude, (ii) gross dereliction of duty or (iii) any breach of duty that is materially injurious to the business or reputation of the Company.

The Board may provide in the case of any option award for post-termination exercise provisions different from those set forth above, including, without limitation, terms allowing a later exercise by a former director (or, in the case of a former director who is deceased, the person or persons to whom the award is transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution) as to all or any portion of the option award not exercisable immediately prior to termination of service, but in no case may an award be exercised after the latest date on which it could have been exercised had there been no cessation of services.

The 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan has provisions relating to repricing or other amendments of outstanding awards, stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations or other similar changes, and “Covered Transactions” analogous to those described under “—Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan” above.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of common stock under the Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to its employees, but granted options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock under the 2008 Non-Employee Director Plan to its Independent Directors, with an exercise price per share of $4.93, a 10-year exercise period, a risk-free rate of 4.3% and a volatility rate of 41%.

Narrative Disclosure of Kohlberg Capital’s Compensation Policies and Practices as They Relate to Risk Management

In accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements, to the extent that risks may arise from the Company’s compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company, the Company is required to discuss those policies and practices for compensating the employees of the Company (including employees that are not executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table) as they relate to the Company’s risk management practices and the possibility of incentivizing risk-taking.

The Compensation Committee has evaluated the policies and practices of compensating the Company’s employees in light of the relevant factors, including the following:

•

the financial performance targets of the Company’s annual cash incentive program are the budgeted objectives that are reviewed and approved by the Board and/or the Compensation Committee;

•

bonus payouts are not based solely on corporate performance, but also require achievement of individual performance objectives;

•

bonus awards generally are not contractual entitlements, but are reviewed by the Compensation Committee and/or the Board and can be modified at their discretion;

100

•

the financial opportunity in the Company’s long-term incentive program is best realized through long-term appreciation of the Company’s stock price, which mitigates excessive short-term risk-taking; and

•

the allocation of compensation between cash and equity awards and the focus on stock-based compensation, including options and restricted stock awards generally vesting over a period of years, thereby mitigating against short-term risk taking.

Based on such evaluation, the Compensation Committee has determined that the Company’s policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Item 12.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

No person is deemed to control Kohlberg Capital, as such term is defined in the 1940 Act.

The following table sets forth, as of May 5, 2010, information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock by:

•

each person known to the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock;

•

each of the Company’s directors and each named executive officer; and

•

all of the Company’s directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of May 5, 2010 are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding such options. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 22,549,235 shares of common stock outstanding at May 5, 2010.

Unless otherwise indicated, to Kohlberg Capital’s knowledge, each stockholder listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the stockholder, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law, and maintains an address of c/o Kohlberg Capital Corporation, 295 Madison Avenue, 6^th Floor, New York, New York 10017.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During 2009, none of the Company’s executive officers served on the board of directors (or a compensation committee thereof or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of any entities that had one or more executive officers serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board or the Board.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

Kohlberg Capital has procedures in place for the review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving the Company and certain persons related to the Company. As a BDC, the Company is prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with certain of its affiliates without the prior approval of the Independent Directors and, in some cases, the SEC. The affiliates with which the Company may be prohibited from transacting include its officers, directors and employees and any person controlling or under common control with the Company.

In the ordinary course of business, Kohlberg Capital enters into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related party transactions. We have implemented certain procedures, both written and unwritten, to ensure that we do not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with us. If such affiliations are found to exist, we seek Board and/or committee review and approval or exemptive relief for such transactions, as appropriate.

In addition, the Company adopted and maintains a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act that establishes procedures for personal investments and restricts certain personal securities transactions. Personnel subject to the code may invest in securities for their personal investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Company, so long as such investments are made in accordance with the code’s requirements and applicable law. A copy of the code of ethics is available on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website at www.kohlbergcap.com.

Item 14.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services

In 2009, the Audit Committee and the Independent Directors selected Deloitte as the independent registered public accountant of the Company for the 2009 year. On December 10, 2009, the Company was advised by Deloitte that (i) the audit report issued by Deloitte accompanying the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year and (ii) Deloitte’s completed interim reviews of the Company’s financial statements for the interim periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for those respective periods should no longer be relied upon because Deloitte had changed its position with respect to the appropriateness of the methodology and procedures used by the Company under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to value the Company’s investments as of the end of each of those periods and, as a result, Deloitte believed based upon such changed position and the additional information provided to Deloitte by the Company following Deloitte’s internal inspection process, that such financial statements contained material misstatements with respect to the value of the Company’s investments included therein.

On January 12, 2010, the Company dismissed Deloitte as its registered public accounting firm. The Company took this action after discussions with the staff of the SEC regarding the provisions in the 1940 Act relating to the selection and termination of a business development company’s independent public accountants and the attendant circumstances, including the fact that on January 5, 2010, Deloitte informed the Company that, as a result of and in response to a communication from the Company on January 4, 2010, Deloitte had concluded that it was not currently independent with respect to the Company. On January 27, 2010, the Company engaged Grant Thornton LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit our December 31, 2007 annual financial statements, as well as the Company’s December 31, 2009 and 2008 annual financial statements and to review all quarterly financial statements in these two years and in subsequent periods.

With the engagement of Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, it became the Company’s principal accountant. The aggregate fees to be paid to Grant Thornton for the Company’s December 31, 2009 and 2008 annual financial statements are set out in the table below.


	2009		2008
Audit Fees⁽¹⁾	$	521,805	$	476,805
Audit-Related Fees⁽²⁾		—		—
Tax Fees⁽³⁾		16,500		—
All Other Fees		—		—

Aggregate Non-Audit Fees⁽⁴⁾	$	16,500	$	—

Total Fees	$	538,305	$	476,805

(1)	Audit fees represent fees and expenses for the annual audit, including the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements, quarterly reviews, comfort letters, statutory and regulatory filings, and consents related to stock issuances.

(2)	Audit-related fees represent services such as consultations, due diligence and attest services not required by statue or regulation.

(3)	Tax fees represent services in conjunction with preparation of the Company’s tax return.

(4)	Aggregate non-audit fees comprise audit-related fees, tax fees and all other fees.

The Company’s engagement letter with Grant Thornton provides for estimated fees of $450,000 for the 2008 audit and quarterly reviews and $495,000 for the 2009 audit and quarterly reviews, plus in each case out-of-pocket expenses. The Company engaged Grant Thornton on January 27, 2010 and, accordingly, no fees were paid to Grant Thornton in 2009.

104

The Audit Committee has established a pre-approval policy that describes the permitted audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided by its independent registered public accounting firm. The policy requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by its independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such service does not impair the firm’s independence. No audit-related, tax, or other non-audit services were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception to the pre-approval requirement under Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kohlberg Capital Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations, changes in their net assets and their cash flows and financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the company changed its method of accounting for the fair value of its portfolio investments on January 1, 2008 due to the adoption of new accounting guidance related to fair value measurements.

As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Company has restated the accompanying 2008 financial statements.

We were also engaged to audit, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated May 28, 2010 disclaimed an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because of a scope limitation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT OF REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Kohlberg Capital Corporation

We were engaged to audit Kohlberg Capital Corporation’s and subsidiary’s (the “Company”) (a Delaware Corporation) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Kohlberg Capital Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assertion of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

As described in the Item 9A.—Controls and Procedures: (i) we were engaged after December 31, 2009; and (ii) changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in place at December 31, 2009 were made subsequent to December 31, 2009. Accordingly, we were unable to perform auditing procedures necessary to form an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and those charged with governance; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent, or detect and correct misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. If one or more material weaknesses exist, a company’s internal control over financial reporting cannot be considered effective. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment.

The Company did not maintain effective controls over the accounting for the fair value of its illiquid investments and revenue recognition for certain non-cash payment in-kind (PIK) investments. Specifically, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not properly designed to implement an appropriate valuation methodology and procedures to value the Company’s illiquid investments consistent with the requirements of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures as required by GAAP because the Company’s prior valuation procedures did not adequately take into account certain market inputs and other data as well as the impact of broader market activity on the fair value of the Company’s illiquid investments. In addition, the Company did not properly account for the income on certain non-cash PIK investments. The control deficiency relating to the fair value of the Company’s illiquid investments resulted in a material misstatement in their fair value and resulted in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. The control deficiency relating to revenue recognition for certain non-cash PIK investments resulted in the material misstatement of interest income and resulted in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. Accordingly, management has concluded that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.

Because of the limitation on the scope of our audit described in the second paragraph, the scope of our work was not sufficient to enable us to express, and we do not express, an opinion on the effectiveness of The Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the accompanying balance sheets of the Company, including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, and have issued our report dated May 28, 2010 that expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and included an explanatory paragraph relating to the restatement of the Company’s 2008 financial statements and the change in the Company’s method of accounting for fair value of its portfolio investments on January 1, 2008 due to the adoption of new accounting guidance related to fair value measurements.

KOHLBERG CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

Kohlberg Capital Corporation (“Kohlberg Capital” or the “Company”) is an internally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that is regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company originates, structures and invests in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity securities primarily in privately-held middle market companies. The Company defines the middle market as comprising companies with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), of $10 million to $50 million and/or total debt of $25 million to $150 million. The Company was formed as a Delaware LLC on August 8, 2006 and, prior to the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in its initial public offering (“IPO”), converted to a corporation incorporated in Delaware on December 11, 2006. Prior to its IPO, the Company did not have material operations. The Company’s IPO of 14,462,000 shares of common stock raised net proceeds of approximately $200 million. Prior to the IPO, the Company issued 3,484,333 shares to affiliates of Kohlberg & Co., LLC (“Kohlberg & Co.”), a leading middle market private equity firm, in exchange for the contribution of their ownership interests in Katonah Debt Advisors L.L.C. and its affiliates (collectively, “Katonah Debt Advisors”) and in securities issued by collateralized loan obligation funds (“CLO Funds”) managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and two other asset managers to the Company. As of December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management. On April 28, 2008 the Company completed a rights offering which resulted in the issuance of 3.1 million common shares and net proceeds of approximately $27 million.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation from investments made in senior secured term loans, mezzanine debt and selected equity investments in privately-held middle market companies. The Company also expects to receive distributions of recurring fee income and, as debt markets stabilize and recover, to generate capital appreciation from its investment in the asset management business of Katonah Debt Advisors. Katonah Debt Advisors manages CLO Funds which invest in broadly syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments. The Company’s investment portfolio as well as the investment portfolios of the CLO Funds in which it has invested and the investment portfolios of the CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors consist exclusively of credit instruments and other securities issued by corporations and do not include any asset-backed securities secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other consumer borrowings.

The Company has elected to be treated as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. Pursuant to this election, the Company generally does not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income that it distributes to its stockholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The financial statements reflect all adjustments, both normal and recurring as well as restatement adjustments, and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented. Furthermore, the preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions including the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences could be material. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

Accounting Standards Codification. In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a pronouncement establishing the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ASC reorganized existing U.S. accounting and reporting standards issued by the FASB and other related private sector standard setters into a single source of authoritative accounting principles arranged by topic. The standard explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC supersedes all existing U.S. accounting standards; all other accounting literature not included in the ASC (other than SEC guidance for publicly-traded companies) is considered non-authoritative. The ASC was effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the ASC changed the Company’s references to U.S. GAAP accounting standards but did not impact its results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the applicable trade date. Realized gains or losses are computed using the specific identification method.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments. Kohlberg Capital’s Board of Directors is ultimately and solely responsible for making a good faith determination of the fair value of portfolio investments on a quarterly basis. Debt and equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at such market quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market price is not readily available are valued by the Board of Directors based on detailed analyses prepared by management, the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors, and, in certain circumstances, third parties with valuation expertise. Valuations are conducted by management on 100% of the investment portfolio at the end of each quarter. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”) on January 1, 2008. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines “fair value” as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Subsequent to the adoption of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the FASB has issued various staff positions clarifying the initial standard as noted below.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires the disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, during the period.

The Company engaged Valuation Research Corporation (“VRC”), an independent valuation firm, to provide third-party valuation estimates for approximately 39% and 40% of its portfolio at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. VRC’s valuation estimates were considered as one of the relevant data inputs in the Company’s determination of fair value. The Board of Directors intends to continue to engage an independent valuation firm in the future to provide certain valuation services, including the review of certain portfolio assets, as part of the Company’s annual year end valuation process.

The Board of Directors may consider other methods of valuation than those set forth above to determine the fair value of investments as appropriate in conformity with GAAP. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments. Further, such investments may be generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may occur over the life of the investments that may cause the value realized on such investments to be different from the currently assigned valuations.

The Company’s valuation methodology and procedures, as modified, are as follows:

(1)

Each portfolio company or investment is cross-referenced to an independent pricing service to determine if a current market quote is available. The nature and quality of such quote is reviewed to determine reliability and relevance of the quote. Factors considered in this determination include if the quote is from a transaction or is a broker quote, the date and aging of such quote, if the transaction is arms-length, whether it is of a liquidation or distressed nature and certain other factors judged to be relevant by management within the framework of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

(2)

If an investment does not have a market quotation on either a broad market exchange or from an independent pricing service, the investment is initially valued by the Company’s investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the portfolio management team.

(3)

Preliminary valuation conclusions are discussed and documented by management.

F-33

(4)

Katonah Debt Advisors and other illiquid junior and mezzanine securities may be selected for review by an independent valuation firm, which is engaged by the Company’s Board of Directors. Such independent valuation firm reviews management’s preliminary valuations and makes their own independent valuation assessment.

(5)

The Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the portfolio valuations, as well as the input and report of such independent valuation firm, as applicable.

(6)

Upon approval of the investment valuations by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the results for inclusion in the Company’s quarterly and annual financial statements, as applicable.

(7)

The Board of Directors discusses the valuations and determines in good faith that the fair values of each investment in the portfolio is reasonable based upon any applicable independent pricing service, input of management, estimates from independent valuation firms (if any) and the recommendations of the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors.

The majority of the Company’s investment portfolio is composed of debt and equity securities with unique contract terms and conditions and/or complexity that requires a valuation of each individual investment that considers multiple levels of market and asset specific inputs, including historical and forecasted financial and operational performance of the individual investment, projected cash flows, market multiples, comparable market transactions, the priority of the security compared with those of other securities for such issuers, credit risk, interest rates and independent valuations and reviews.

Loans and Debt Securities. To the extent that the Company’s investments are exchange traded and are priced or have sufficient price indications from normal course trading at or around the valuation date (financial reporting date), such pricing will determine fair value. Pricing service marks from third party pricing services may be used as an indication of fair value, depending on the volume and reliability of the marks, sufficient and reasonable correlation of bid and ask quotes, and, most importantly, the level of actual trading activity. However, most of the Company’s investments are illiquid investments with little or no trading activity. Further, the Company has been unable to identify directly comparable market indices or other market guidance that correlate directly to the types of investments the Company owns. As a result, for most of its assets, the Company determines fair value using alternative methodologies using available market data, as adjusted, to reflect the types of assets the Company owns, their structure, qualitative and credit attributes and other asset specific characteristics.

The Company derives fair value for its illiquid investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using a present value technique that discounts the estimated contractual cash flows for the underlying assets with discount rates imputed by broad market indices, bond spreads and yields for comparable issuers relative to the subject assets (the “Market Yield Approach”) and also considers recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual cash flows for an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the seniority or security interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield bond index, at the valuation date. The Company has identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related to its loan and debt investments. Because the Company has not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan and debt investments held by the Company and therefore uses the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant adjustment to better correlate such market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate may be applied to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used as part of the valuation methodology, their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used as security, structure, performance and other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting present value determination is then weighted along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such quotes are indicative of actual transactions with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation or distressed sales, relatively more reliance will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative of market transactions or are insufficient as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be compared with other fair value indications and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy. Other significant assumptions, such as coupon and maturity, are asset-specific and are noted for each investment in the Schedules of Investments.

Equity and Equity-Related Securities. The Company’s equity and equity-related securities in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are carried at fair value based on the enterprise value of the portfolio company, which is determined using various factors, including EBITDA, cash flows from operations less capital expenditures and other pertinent factors, such as recent offers to purchase a portfolio company’s securities or other liquidation events. The determined fair values are generally discounted to account for restrictions on resale and minority ownership positions. The values of the Company’s equity and equity-related securities in public companies for which market quotations are readily available are based upon the closing public market prices on the balance sheet date. Securities that carry certain restrictions on sale are typically valued at a discount from the public market value of the security.

F-34

The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of equity and equity-related securities include prices, earnings, EBITDA and cash flows after capital expenditures for similar peer comparables and the investment entity itself. Equity and equity related securities are classified as Level III (as described in Note 4. “Investments” below) when there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation given the lack of information related to such equity investments held in nonpublic companies. Significant assumptions observed for comparable companies as applied to relevant financial data for the specific investment. Such assumptions, such as model discount rates or price/earnings multiples, vary by the specific investment, equity position and industry and incorporate adjustments for risk premiums, liquidity and company specific attributes. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value.

Affiliate Asset Manager. The Company’s investment in its wholly-owned asset management company, Katonah Debt Advisors, is carried at fair value, which is determined after taking into consideration a percentage of assets under management and a discounted cash flow model incorporating different levels of discount rates depending on the hierarchy of fees earned (including the likelihood of realization of senior, subordinate and incentive fees) and prospective modeled performance. Such valuation includes an analysis of comparable asset management companies. Katonah Debt Advisors is classified as a Level III investment (as described below). Any change in value from period to period is recognized as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

CLO Fund Securities. The Company typically makes a minority investment in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds raised and managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and may selectively invest in securities issued by funds managed by other asset management companies (collectively, “CLO Fund securities”). The Company’s CLO Fund securities relate exclusively to credit instruments issued by corporations and do not include any asset-backed securities secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages, or consumer borrowings.

The Company’s investments in CLO Fund securities are carried at fair value, which is based either on (i) the present value of the net expected cash inflows for interest income and principal repayments from underlying assets and cash outflows for interest expense, debt paydown and other fund costs for the CLO Funds that are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore are selling assets and/or using principal repayments to pay down CLO Fund debt (or will begin to do so shortly), and for which there continue to be net cash distributions to the class of securities owned by the Company, or (ii) the NAV of the CLO Fund for CLO Funds that are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and therefore are selling assets and/or using principal repayments to pay down CLO Fund debt (or will begin to do so shortly), and for which there are negligible net cash distributions to the class of securities owned by the Company, or (iii) a discounted cash flow model for more recent CLO Funds that utilizes prepayment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow and comparable yields for similar securities or preferred shares to those in which the Company has invested. The Company recognizes unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Company’s investments in CLO Fund securities as comparable yields in the market change and/or based on changes in NAVs or estimated cash flows resulting from changes in prepayment or loss assumptions in the underlying collateral pool. As each investment in CLO Fund securities ages, the expected amount of losses and the expected timing of recognition of such losses in the underlying collateral pool are updated and the revised cash flows are used in determining the fair value of the CLO Fund investment. The Company determines the fair value of its investments in CLO Fund securities on an individual security-by-security basis.

Due to the individual attributes of each CLO Fund security, they are classified as a Level III investment unless specific trading activity can be identified at or near the valuation date. When available, observable market information will be identified, evaluated and weighted accordingly in the application of such data to the present value models and fair value determination. Significant assumptions to the present value calculations include default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, investment/reinvestment rates and spreads and the discount rate by which to value the resulting underlying cash flows. Such assumptions can vary significantly, depending on market data sources which often vary in depth and level of analysis, understanding of the CLO market, detailed or broad characterization of the CLO market and the application of such data to an appropriate framework for analysis. The application of data points are based on the specific attributes of each individual CLO Fund security’s underlying assets, historic, current and prospective performance, vintage, and other quantitative and qualitative factors that would be evaluated by market participants. The Company evaluates the source of market data for reliability as an indicative market input, consistency amongst other inputs and results and also the context in which such data is presented.

F-35

For bond rated tranches of CLO Fund securities (those above the junior class) without transactions to support a fair value for the specific CLO Fund and tranche, fair value is based on discounting estimated bond payments at a current market yield, which may reflect the adjusted yield on the levered loan index for similarly rated tranches, as well as prices for similar tranches for other CLO Funds and also other factors such as the default and recovery rates of underlying assets in the CLO Fund, as may be applicable. Such model assumptions may vary and incorporate adjustments for risk premiums and CLO Fund specific attributes. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value.

Cash. The Company defines cash as demand deposits. The Company places its cash with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in checking accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash consists mostly of cash held in an operating account pursuant to the Company’s secured credit facility agreement with its lender.

Time Deposits and Money Market Accounts. Time deposits primarily represent overnight Eurodollar investments of cash held in non-demand deposit accounts. Such time deposits are partially restricted under terms of the secured credit facility. The money market account contains restricted cash held for employee flexible spending accounts.

Interest Income. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company generally places a loan or security on non-accrual status and ceases recognizing interest income on such loan or security when a loan or security becomes 90 days or more past due or if the Company otherwise does not expect the debtor to be able to service its debt obligations. Non-accrual loans remain in such status until the borrower has demonstrated the ability and intent to pay contractual amounts due or such loans become current. As of December 31, 2009, ten issuers representing approximately 2% of total investments at fair value were considered in default.

Dividends from Affiliate Asset Manager. The Company records dividend income from its affiliate asset manager on the declaration date, which represents the ex-dividend date.

Dividend Income from CLO Fund Securities. The Company generates dividend income from its investments in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds (typically preferred shares or subordinated securities) managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and selective investments in securities issued by funds managed by other asset management companies. The Company’s CLO Fund securities are subordinate to senior bond holders who typically receive a fixed rate of return on their investment. The CLO Funds are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or “excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities in the fund less payments made to senior bond holders, fund expenses and management fees) is paid to the holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated securities or preferred shares. The Company makes estimated interim accruals of such dividend income based on recent historical distributions and CLO Fund performance and adjusts such accruals on a quarterly basis to reflect actual distributions.

Capital Structuring Service Fees. The Company may earn ancillary structuring and other fees related to the origination and or investment in debt and investment securities.

Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These amounts are capitalized and amortized ratably over the contractual term of the borrowing as a component of interest expense. At December 31, 2009, there was an unamortized debt issuance cost of approximately $619,000 included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $825,000 and $522,000, respectively.

Expenses. The Company is internally managed and expenses costs, as incurred, with regard to the running of its operations. Primary operating expenses include employee salaries and benefits, the costs of identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing, monitoring and servicing the Company’s investments and related overhead charges and expenses, including rental expense and any interest expense incurred in connection with borrowings. The Company and its asset manager affiliates share office space and certain other shared operating expenses. The Company has entered into an Overhead Allocation Agreement with its asset manager affiliates which provides for the sharing of such expenses based on an equal sharing of office lease costs and the ratable usage of other shared resources. The aggregate net payments of such expenses under the Overhead Allocation Agreement are not material.

Dividends. Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management for the period and year.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of its distributions on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder “opts out” of the plan to receive cash in lieu of having their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 9, 2009, Accounting Standards Codification—Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments was issued. This standard requires disclosures about financial instruments, including fair value, carrying amount, and method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. The Company adopted this standard as of June 30, 2009 and the adoption of this standard did not affect the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

Two-Class Method of Presenting Earnings Per Share. In June 2008, Accounting Standards Codification—Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities was issued. This standard requires companies to include unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this standard beginning with its financial statements ended March 31, 2009 and, as required, applied this standard retroactively to all reported periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s calculations of earnings per share.

3. EARNINGS (LOSSES) PER SHARE

The following information sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net increase (decrease) in stockholders’ equity per share for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007:

Weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding for diluted EPS computation		22,105,800		20,455,322			17,977,348

Basic and diluted earnings per common share:
Net income (loss) from operations	$	1.53	$	(3.07	)	$	1.45
Net income (loss) from operations allocated to non-vested share awards		0.03		(0.02	)		—

Net increase (decrease) in stockholders’ equity from operations	$	1.56	$	(3.09	)	$	1.45

Effective January 1, 2008, the accounting for unvested share-based payment awards included in the calculation of earnings per share changed. Share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are now participating securities and included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Our grants of restricted stock awards to our employees and directors are considered participating securities and we have prepared our earnings per share calculations to include outstanding unvested restricted stock awards in the basic weighted average shares outstanding calculation. The unvested restricted shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2008 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Options to purchase 40,000, 20,000 and 1,315,000 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 because the effect would be antidilutive as the exercise prices exceeded the average market price of the common shares.

4. INVESTMENTS

The Company invests in senior secured loans, mezzanine debt and, to a lesser extent, equity of middle market companies in a variety of industries. The Company generally targets companies that generate positive cash flows because the Company looks to cash flow as the primary source for servicing debt. However, the Company may invest in industries in which it currently has little or no investment if it is presented with attractive opportunities.

The Company may invest up to 30% of the investment portfolio in opportunistic investments in high-yield bonds, debt and equity securities of CLO Funds, distressed debt or equity securities of public companies. However, the Company’s investment strategy is to limit the value of its investments in the debt or equity securities issued by CLO Funds to not more than 15% of the value of its total investment portfolio at the time of investment. The Company expects that these public companies generally will have debt that is non-investment grade. The Company also may invest in debt of middle market companies located outside of the United States, which investments (excluding the Company’s investments in CLO Funds) are generally not anticipated to be in excess of 10% of the investment portfolio at the time such investments are made. The Company is generally prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to any portfolio company of a private equity fund managed by Kohlberg & Co. without the prior approval of the SEC. In addition, the Company may co-invest on a concurrent basis with Kohlberg & Co. or any of its affiliates, subject to compliance with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and its allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only if the Company receives an order from the SEC permitting it to do so. There can be no assurance that any such order will be applied for or, if applied for, obtained.

At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, approximately 12% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s investments were foreign assets (which includes the Company’s investments in CLO Funds, which represented approximately 12% and 8% of its portfolio on such dates).

At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s ten largest portfolio companies represented approximately 37% and 32%, respectively, of the total fair value of its investments. The Company’s largest investment, Katonah Debt Advisors which is its wholly-owned portfolio company, represented 14% and 12% of the total fair value of the Company’s investments at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Excluding Katonah Debt Advisors and CLO Fund securities, the Company’s ten largest portfolio companies represented approximately 19% and 17% of the total fair value of its investments at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Investment in CLO Fund Securities

The Company typically makes a minority investment in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds (typically preferred shares or subordinated securities) managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and may selectively invest in securities issued by funds managed by other asset management companies. However, as noted above, the Company’s investment strategy is to limit the value of its investments in the debt or equity securities issued by CLO Funds to not more than 15% of the value of its total investment portfolio at the time of investment. Preferred shares or subordinated securities issued by CLO Funds are entitled to recurring dividend distributions which generally equal the net remaining cash flow of the payments made by the underlying CLO Fund’s securities less contractual payments to senior bond holders and CLO Fund expenses. CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors (“CLO fund securities managed by affiliate”) invest primarily in broadly syndicated non-investment grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments of corporate issuers. The underlying assets in each of the CLO Funds in which the Company has an investment are generally diversified secured or unsecured corporate debt and exclude mortgage pools or mortgage securities (residential mortgage bonds, commercial mortgage backed securities, or related asset-backed securities), debt to companies providing mortgage lending and emerging markets investments. The CLO Funds are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or “excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities in the fund less payments made to senior bond holders, fund expenses and management fees) is paid to the holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated securities or preferred stock.

On January 23, 2008, the Company’s wholly-owned asset management company, Katonah Debt Advisors, closed a new $315 million CLO Fund. The Company received a structuring fee upon closing and Katonah Debt Advisors earns an ongoing asset management fee based on the par amount of the underlying investments in the CLO Fund. Securities issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors are primarily held by third parties. Kohlberg Capital invested approximately $29 million to acquire all of the shares of the most junior class of securities of this latest CLO Fund.

The subordinated securities and preferred stock securities are considered equity positions in the CLO Funds and, as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $45 million and $35 million, respectively, of such CLO equity investments at fair value. The cost basis of the Company’s investment in CLO Fund equity securities as of December 31, 2009 was approximately $67 million and aggregate unrealized losses on the CLO Fund securities totaled approximately $23 million. The cost basis of the Company’s investment in CLO Fund equity securities as of December 31, 2008, was approximately $66 million and aggregate unrealized losses on the CLO Fund securities totaled approximately $32 million.

In May 2009 the Company purchased the class B-2L notes of the Katonah 2007-1 CLO investment managed by Katonah Debt Advisors (“Katonah 2007-1 B-2L”). The Company purchased the Katonah 2007-1 B-2L for 10% of the par value. The fair value, cost basis, and aggregate unrealized appreciation of the Katonah 2007-1 B-2L investment as of December 31, 2009 were approximately $4 million, $1 million, and $3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any investments in class B-2L notes. Both the B-2L notes and preferred shares of Katonah 2007-1 are owned 100% by the Company and Katonah 2007-1 is current in the payment of all quarterly distributions in respect of the B-2L notes and the preferred shares.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the provisions of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which among other matters, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. This standard defines fair value and establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines “fair value” as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This fair value definition focuses on an exit price in the principal, or most advantageous market, and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs (which may be weighted or adjusted for relevance, reliability and specific attributes relative to the subject investment) over entity-specific inputs. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Subsequent to the adoption of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the FASB has issued various staff positions clarifying the initial standard (see Significant Accounting Policies—Investments).

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes the following three-level hierarchy, based upon the transparency of inputs to the fair value measurement of an asset or liability as of the measurement date:

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and the Company considers factors specific to the investment. Substantially all of the Company’s investments are classified as Level III. The Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading, in determining fair value. Inputs that are backed by actual transactions, those that are highly correlated to the specific investment being valued and those derived from reliable or knowledgeable sources will tend to have a higher weighting in determining fair value. Ongoing reviews by the Company’s investment analysts, Chief Investment Officer, Valuation Committee and independent valuation firms are based on an assessment of each underlying investment, its current and prospective operating and financial performance, consideration of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information, including comparable transactions, performance factors, and other investment or industry specific market data, among other factors.

F-41

The following tables summarize the fair value of investments by the above Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures fair value hierarchy levels as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively:

As a BDC, the Company is required to invest primarily in the debt and equity of non-public companies for which there is little, if any, market-observable information. As a result, most, if not all, of the Company’s investments at any given time will most likely be deemed Level III investments. The Company believes that investments classified as Level III for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures have a further hierarchal framework which prioritizes and ranks such valuations based on the degree of independent and observable inputs, objectivity of data and models and the level of judgment required to adjust comparable data. The hierarchy of such methodologies are presented in the above table and discussed below in descending rank.

F-42

Investment values derived by a third party pricing service are deemed Level III values since such values are not traded on an active public exchange and may represent a traded or broker quote on an asset that is infrequently traded.

Following the Company’s engagement of Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”), the Company’s management and Audit Committee concluded that the Company would have to restate its previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. Management and the Audit Committee determined that such restatement was necessary to correct errors in the application of accounting for the fair value of the Company’s illiquid investments and the revenue recognition for certain non-cash payment-in-kind (“PIK”) investments, which errors impact the amount of unrealized gains (losses) reported for the Company’s illiquid investments (defined by the Company as investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades), which affects the calculation of the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) and net income, and also impact net investment income as well as the cost basis and the net change in unrealized appreciation on certain non-cash PIK investments. In connection with the restatement, the Company revised the valuation procedures applied to its illiquid investments and its accounting for its non-cash PIK investments. The Company now derives fair value for its illiquid investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using the Market Yield Approach and also considers recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual cash flows for an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the seniority or security interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield bond index, at the valuation date. The Company has identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related to its loan and debt investments. Because the Company has not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan and debt investments held by the Company and therefore uses the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant adjustment to better correlate such market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate may be applied to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used as part of the valuation methodology, their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used as security, structure, performance and other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting present value determination is then weighted along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such quotes are indicative of actual transactions with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation or distressed sales, relatively more reliance will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative of market transactions or are insufficient as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be compared with other fair value indications and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy. Management retroactively applied such revised valuation procedures to the Company’s portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. In addition, for investments which earn non-cash PIK interest and for which there has been a substantial decline in fair value due to underlying credit concerns for an extended period, the Company no longer accrues such non-cash PIK interest as income. As a result, the Company has restated the financial statements for each of those periods to reflect the use of these revised valuation and revenue recognition procedures. No financial statements for periods ended prior to January 1, 2008 are impacted by the restatement. The appropriateness of specific valuation methods and techniques may change as market conditions and available data change.

The Company engaged VRC, an independent valuation firm, to provide third-party valuation estimates for approximately 39% and 40% of its portfolio at fair value as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. VRC’s valuation estimates were considered as one of the relevant data inputs in the Company’s determination of fair value. The Board of Directors intends to continue to engage an independent valuation firm in the future to provide certain valuation services, including the review of certain portfolio assets, as part of the Company’s annual year end valuation process.

Values derived for debt securities using public/private company comparables generally utilize market-observable data from such comparables and specific, non-public and non-observable financial measures (such as earnings or cash flows) for the private, underlying company/issuer. Such non-observable company/issuer data is typically provided on a monthly basis, is certified as correct by the management of the company/issuer and audited by an independent accounting firm on an annual basis. Since such private company/issuer data is not publicly available it is not deemed market-observable data and, as a result, such investment values are grouped as Level III assets.

Values derived for asset manager affiliates using public/private company comparables generally utilize market-observable data from such comparables and specific, non-public and non-observable financial measures (such as assets under management, historical and prospective earnings) for the asset manager affiliate. The Company recognizes that comparable asset managers may not be fully

F-43

comparable to its asset manager affiliates and typically identifies a range of performance measures and/or adjustments within the comparable population with which to determine value. Since any such ranges and adjustments are entity specific they are not considered market-observable data and thus require a Level III grouping. Illiquid investments that have values derived through the use of discounted cash flow models and residual enterprise value models are grouped as Level III assets.

The changes in investments measured at fair value for which the Company has used unobservable inputs to determine fair value are as follows:

5. AFFILIATE ASSET MANAGERS

Wholly-Owned Asset Manager

Prior to its IPO, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,226,333 common shares, having a value of approximately $33 million, to affiliates of Kohlberg & Co. to acquire Katonah Debt Advisors. As a result, Katonah Debt Advisors is a wholly-owned portfolio company. As of December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors and its affiliates had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management.

Katonah Debt Advisors manages CLO Funds primarily for third party investors that invest in broadly syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments issued by corporations. These CLO Funds do not invest in asset-backed securities secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other consumer borrowings. At December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management and the Company’s 100% equity interest in Katonah Debt Advisors was valued at approximately $58 million.

F-44

As a manager of the CLO Funds, Katonah Debt Advisors receives contractual and recurring management fees and may receive a one-time structuring fee from the CLO Funds for its management and advisory services. The annual fees which Katonah Debt Advisors receives are generally based on a fixed percentage of assets under management (at par value and not subject to changes in market value), and Katonah Debt Advisors generates annual operating income equal to the amount by which its fee income exceeds it operating expenses. The annual management fees Katonah Debt Advisors receives have two components—a senior management fee and a subordinated management fee. At December 31, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors continued to receive all senior management fees payable by the CLO Funds managed by it. However, certain CLO Funds (representing approximately $1.2 billion of the $2.1 billion of Katonah Debt Advisors’ assets under management) are not paying their subordinated management fee. These subordinated management fees, totaling approximately $4 million per year, have been restricted from being paid as a result of the failure by the CLO Funds to satisfy certain restrictive covenants contained in their indenture agreements. Such subordinated management fees continue to be accrued by the applicable CLO Fund and will be payable to Katonah Debt Advisors if and when such CLO Fund becomes compliant with the applicable covenants. As of December 31, 2009, approximately $5 million of subordinated management fees have been accrued. However, there can be no assurance that these fees will become payable or, if they do become payable, that the applicable CLO Fund will have sufficient cash to make the payments to Katonah Debt Advisors. In future years, Katonah Debt Advisors may receive accrued incentive fees upon the liquidation of CLO Funds it manages, provided such CLO Funds have achieved a minimum investment return to holders of their subordinated securities or preferred shares.

On January 2, 2008, the Katonah Debt Advisors platform acquired substantially all of the assets of Scott’s Cove Capital Management LLC (“Scott’s Cove”), an asset manager focused on an event-driven credit long short investment strategy. As a result of the acquisition, approximately $60 million of fee paying assets under management integrated within the Katonah Debt Advisors asset management platform. In connection with the acquisition, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into employment agreements with three Scott’s Cove investment professionals, and expects these individuals will assist in structuring, raising and investing new funds to be managed by Katonah Debt Advisors.

The Company expects to receive distributions of recurring fee income and to generate capital appreciation from its investment in the asset management business of Katonah Debt Advisors. By making investments in CLO Funds raised by Katonah Debt Advisors in the future, for which the Company expects to receive a current cash return, the Company can help Katonah Debt Advisors to raise these funds which in turn will increase its assets under management which will result in additional management fee income.

The revenue that Katonah Debt Advisors generates through the fees it receives for managing CLO Funds and after paying the expenses associated with its operations, including compensation of its employees, may be distributed to the Company. Any distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ net income are recorded as dividends from affiliate asset manager. As with all other investments, Katonah Debt Advisors’ fair value is periodically determined. The valuation is primarily based on an analysis of both a percentage of its assets under management and Katonah Debt Advisors’ estimated operating income. Any change in value from period to period is recognized as unrealized gain or loss. See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 4, “Investments” for further information relating to the Company’s valuation methodology.

As a separately regarded entity for tax purposes, Katonah Debt Advisors, L.L.C. is taxed at normal corporate rates. For tax purposes, any distributions of taxable net income earned by Katonah Debt Advisors to the Company would generally need to be distributed to the Company’s shareholders. Generally, such distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ income to the Company’s shareholders will be considered as qualified dividends for tax purposes. Katonah Debt Advisors’ taxable net income will differ from GAAP net income because of deferred tax timing adjustments and permanent tax adjustments. Deferred tax timing adjustments may include differences for the recognition and timing of depreciation, bonuses to employees and stock option expense. Permanent differences may include adjustments, limitations or disallowances for meals and entertainment expenses, penalties and tax goodwill amortization.

Goodwill amortization for tax purposes was created upon the purchase of 100% of the equity interests in Katonah Debt Advisors prior to the Company’s IPO in exchange for shares of the Company’s stock valued at $33 million. Although this transaction was a stock transaction rather than an asset purchase and thus no goodwill was recognized for GAAP purposes, such exchange was considered an asset purchase under Section 351(a) of the Code. At the time of the transfer, Katonah Debt Advisors had equity of approximately $1 million resulting in tax goodwill of approximately $32 million which will be amortized for tax purposes on a straight-line basis over 15 years, which accounts for an annual difference between GAAP income and taxable income by approximately $2 million per year over such period.

At December 31, 2009 and at December 31, 2008 a net amount due from affiliates totaled approximately $44,000 and approximately $391,000, respectively.

F-45

Distressed Debt Platform

In December 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company committed to make an investment in a new distressed debt investment platform organized by Steven Panagos and Jonathan Katz named PKSIL LLC (“PKSIL”). The Company committed to invest up to $2.5 million to fund the operation of PKSIL and to invest in an investment fund to be raised and managed by PKSIL. Due to unfavorable global financial market conditions in 2008, PKSIL was not able to raise the planned fund. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, both Messrs. Panagos and Katz terminated their employment with PKSIL and PKSIL ceased operations. In connection therewith, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $2.2 million.

6. BORROWINGS

The Company’s debt obligations consist of the following:


	As of December 31, 2009		As of December 31, 2008
Secured credit facility, $275 million commitment due September 29, 2010⁽¹⁾	$	218,050,363	$	261,691,148

(1)	(the last day of the amortization period that the Company has challenged as being wrongfully commenced)

On February 14, 2007, the Company entered into an arrangement under which the Company may obtain up to $200 million in financing (the “Facility”). On October 1, 2007, the Company amended the Facility to increase the Company’s borrowing capacity from $200 million to $275 million, extend the maturity date from February 12, 2012 to October 1, 2012 and increase the interest spread charged on outstanding borrowings by 15 basis points to 0.85%. The interest rate is based on prevailing commercial paper rates plus 0.85% or, if the commercial paper market is at any time unavailable, prevailing LIBOR rates plus an applicable spread. Interest is payable monthly. As described below as a result of the assertion of BMO Capital Markets Corp., as the agent (the “Agent”) that a Termination Event occurred under the Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2007 (as amended, the “LFSA”), by and among the Company, as the servicer, the Company’s wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, KCAP Funding, as the borrower, BMO Capital Markets Corp, as the agent (the “Agent”), U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as the trustee (the “Trustee”) and the other lender parties and other parties thereto, since June 2009 interest under the LFSA has been calculated at a higher default rate (0.85% above the prime plus 0.75%).

Fair Value of Debt. The Company records debt at cost. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt was approximately $220 million and $252 million at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt was determined based on market interest rates for similar instruments as of the balance sheet dates.

Advances under the Facility (to the extent available to the Company) are used by the Company primarily to make additional investments. The Facility is secured by loans acquired by the Company with the advances under the Facility. The Company borrows under the Facility through its wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, KCAP Funding. In connection with the Facility, the Company is party to the LFSA.

In August 2008, the Company was notified by the lenders that the banks providing the underlying funding for the Facility did not intend to renew their liquidity facility to the lenders unless the Company agreed to certain revised terms for the Facility. The lenders proposed new terms to the Company as a condition to extending the underlying liquidity purchase agreements. The Company viewed such proposed terms as unfavorable and did not agree to such new terms, which caused the lenders to declare a Termination Date based upon their contention that the underlying liquidity purchase agreements had expired, thereby terminating the Company’s ability to obtain revolving advances and commencing the amortization of existing borrowings under the Facility. Since September 2008, all principal and excess interest collected from the assets securing the Facility have been and continue to be used to amortize the Facility through a maturity date of September 29, 2010 (the last day of the amortization period that the Company has challenged as being wrongfully commenced). Since June 2009, based on the Agent’s assertion (despite the Company’s disagreement with such assertion) that a Termination Event had occurred, the interest payable under the LFSA has been calculated at an elevated rate (equal to 0.85% above the prime rate plus 0.75%), and the Company has been paying such higher interest under protest. Also, despite its belief that the amortization period has been wrongfully imposed, the Company believes it has sufficient cash and liquid assets which could be sold, potentially at a loss, to generate cash to fund normal operations and dividend distributions. At the end of the amortization period, the Company may be required to sell the remaining assets securing the Facility, potentially at a loss, to repay any remaining outstanding borrowings or the Company may enter into a new agreement with the lenders providing for continued amortization of the Facility borrowings or into alternative financing arrangements with another lender.

F-46

As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, the Company believes that it is not in material breach of its obligations under the LFSA, including the leverage ratio. However, as described above, the Company and the Borrower are plaintiffs in a pending lawsuit against the Agent and the lenders involving the LFSA. There can be no assurance that in connection with such lawsuit or otherwise the Agent and the lenders will not assert additional breaches of the LFSA, including breaches relating to the restatement described elsewhere in this Annual Report, and there can be no assurance that the Agent and the lenders will not assert that any such breaches give rise to a Termination Event. While the Company and the Borrower believe that they have meritorious claims against the Agent and the lenders in the pending lawsuit and, as a result, the breaches alleged by the Agent and the lenders are not valid in accordance with the terms of the LFSA, there is no assurance that the Company and the Borrower will prevail in such litigation. If the Company and the Borrower do not prevail, the Agent and the lenders may seek to pursue claims based on the alleged breaches, including claims involving alleged Termination Events. If the Agent and the lenders were to seek to accelerate and seize the collateral either at the end of the amortization period or otherwise, and the Company and the Borrower were unsuccessful in obtaining court relief, they could be forced to pay the remaining balance of the Facility (approximately $187 million as of April 30, 2010), which would adversely affect the Company’s business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company estimates that the portfolio of loans securing the Facility will be required to generate an annual rate of return of approximately 3% to cover annual interest payments on obligations incurred under the Facility.

The weighted average daily debt balance for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $236 million and $248 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest rate on weighted average outstanding borrowings was approximately 3% and 4%, respectively, which excludes the amortization of deferred financing costs and facility and program fees on unfunded balances. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had restricted cash balances of approximately $19 million, which it maintained in accordance with the terms of the Facility.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s asset coverage ratio was 198%, below the minimum asset coverage level of 200% generally required by the 1940 Act for a BDC to incur new debt, primarily as a result of unrealized fair value losses on the Company’s investments. Until the minimum asset coverage level is met, the Company will be unable to incur additional debt (other than certain temporary debt) or issue securities senior to the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company will be limited in its ability to raise capital to make new investments until the Company’s asset coverage ratio exceeds 200%. However, because the Company has no public debt outstanding, failure to maintain asset coverage of at least 200% will not limit the Company’s ability, under the 1940 Act, to pay dividends from its net investment income. As of April 30, 2010, the Company’s asset coverage ratio exceeded the minimum required under the 1940 Act.

7. DISTRIBUTABLE TAX INCOME

The Company intends to distribute quarterly dividends to its stockholders. The Company’s quarterly dividends, if any, will be determined by the Board of Directors. To maintain its RIC status, the Company must timely distribute an amount equal to at least 90% of its taxable ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, reduced by deductible expenses, out of the assets legally available for distribution, for each year. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, to the extent required. The Company has distributed, or intends to distribute, sufficient dividends to eliminate taxable income for its completed tax fiscal years. If the Company fails to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement or otherwise fails to qualify as a RIC in any tax year, it would be subject to income tax in such year on all of its taxable income, regardless of whether it made any distributions to its shareholders. The Company has a tax fiscal year that ends on December 31.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company declared a dividend on December 15, 2009 of $0.20 per share for a total of approximately $4 million. The record date was December 28, 2009 and the dividend was distributed on January 25, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company paid dividends of approximately $20 million or $0.92 per share. For income tax purposes the Company’s distributions to shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 were composed of $0.92 per share of non-qualified distributions.

The following reconciles net increase (decrease) in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations to taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2009:


	Year Ended December 31,

Distributions which exceed tax distributable income (tax net investment income and realized gains, if any) are reported as distributions of paid-in capital (i.e., return of capital). The tax character of distributions paid during 2009, 2008, and 2007 was as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2009		2008 (as restated)		2007
Distributions paid from:

As of December 31, 2008 and 2009, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2009			2008 (as restated)
Distributable ordinary income	$	1,326,380		$	2,865,433
Capital loss carryforward		(16,462,808	)		(680,687	)
Net unrealized depreciation		(54,262,692	)		(86,117,427	)

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a net capital loss carryforward of $16.5 million to offset future capital gains to the extent provided by regulations. The capital loss carryforward will begin to expire in the tax year ending December 31, 2015.

Distributable income (loss) differs from GAAP net investment income primarily due to: (1) unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, as investment gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized; (2) amortization of discount on CLO Fund securities; (3) amortization of organizational costs; (4) non-deductible expenses; (5) stock compensation expense that is not currently deductible for tax purposes; (6) excess of capital losses over capital gains; and (7) recognition of interest income on certain loans.

Due to the restatement of financial information the Company anticipates filing amended tax returns with the taxing authorities for the tax period ended December 31, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that such amended filings will result in any tax due or adversely affect the RIC status election of the Company. The figures presented in the accompanying footnotes reflect the figures the Company anticipates to present in the amended tax return filings.

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) as of January 1, 2007. ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of ASC 740 was applied to all open taxable years as of the effective date. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have an effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company as there was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no change to the beginning capital of the Company. Management’s determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the needs of the Company’s investment in portfolio companies. Such instruments include commitments to extend credit and may involve, in varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. Prior to extending such credit, the Company attempts to limit its credit risk by conducting extensive due diligence, obtaining collateral where necessary and negotiating appropriate financial covenants. As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had committed to make a total of approximately $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of investments in various revolving senior secured loans, of which approximately $640,000 was funded as of December 31, 2009 and $1 million was funded as of December 31, 2008.

In October 2007 Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. (“Bear Stearns”) in connection with a warehouse credit line established to fund the initial accumulation of assets for three CLO Funds, pursuant to which agreement Katonah Debt Advisors undertook certain “first loss” commitments, as described in more detail below. In return for Katonah Debt Advisors’ first loss commitment, Katonah Debt Advisors was entitled to receive net interest income from the underlying assets in the loan warehouse. In the future, Kohlberg Capital or Katonah Debt Advisors may enter into similar agreements in connection with funding the initial accumulation of senior secured corporate loans and certain other debt securities for future CLO Funds that Katonah Debt Advisors will manage. Such “first loss” commitments relate to (i) losses (if any) as a result of individual loan investments being ineligible for purchase by a new CLO Fund (typically due to a payment default on such loan) when such fund formation is completed or, (ii) if a new CLO Fund has not been completed before the expiration of the related warehouse credit line, the loss (if any, and net of any accumulated interest income) on the resale of loans and debt securities funded by such warehouse credit line. In return for Katonah Debt Advisors’ first loss commitment, Katonah Debt Advisors was entitled to receive net interest income from the underlying assets in the loan warehouse.

Under the Letter Agreement with Bear Stearns, Katonah Debt Advisors engaged Bear Stearns to structure and raise three CLO Funds, to be named Katonah 2007-I CLO Ltd. (“Katonah 2007”), Katonah 2008-I CLO Ltd. (“Katonah 2008-I”) and Katonah 2008-II CLO Ltd. (“Katonah 2008-II” and, together with Katonah 2007 and Katonah 2008-I, the “2008 CLO Funds”), to be managed by Katonah Debt Advisors (directly or indirectly through a services contract with an affiliate of Katonah Debt Advisors). As part of this engagement, Bear Stearns provided certain credit lines to accumulate and fund into a loan warehouse the initial assets for the 2008 CLO Funds. As mentioned above, Katonah Debt Advisors undertook a first loss commitment, requiring Katonah Debt Advisors to reimburse Bear Stearns in certain circumstances for (i) certain losses (if any) incurred on the assets warehoused for the 2008 CLO Funds prior to their completion, or (ii) if one or all of the CLO Funds fail to close, a portion of the losses (if any) on the resale of the warehoused assets. On January 23, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors and Bear Stearns closed Katonah 2007. Katonah Debt Advisors received a structuring fee upon closing and Katonah Debt Advisors expects to earn an ongoing asset management fee based on the par amount of the underlying investments in Katonah 2007. Approximately $212 million of assets were transferred from the loan warehouse into Katonah 2007. While the securities issued by the CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors are primarily held by third parties, Kohlberg Capital invested approximately $29 million to acquire all of the shares of the most junior class of securities of Katonah 2007. In connection with the closing of Katonah 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors’ maximum first loss obligation amount under its commitment letter with Bear Stearns was reduced from $22.5 million to $18 million.

None of the other 2008 CLO Funds were completed and, as a result, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, both Katonah Debt Advisors and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMorgan”) (f/k/a Bear Stearns & Co. Inc.) asserted claims against the other and defenses thereto. Without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, Katonah Debt Advisors and JPMorgan agreed to compromise and settle all of the disputes, issues and claims between them relating to the agreements in exchange for an agreement to terminate all obligations and liabilities of Katonah Debt Advisors and JPMorgan under the existing agreements relating to the 2008 CLO Funds, payment by Katonah Debt Advisors of an aggregate of $6 million in installments over a period of one year and the forfeiture by Katonah Debt Advisors of the net interest income earned through the settlement date on the warehoused assets. In December 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a settlement and termination agreement with JPMorgan reflecting the settlement terms described above.

As a result of this settlement, Katonah Debt Advisors recognized a $6 million settlement cost and write-off of previously accrued net interest income on warehoused assets of approximately $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company recognized the impact of this settlement and forfeiture of warehouse income as a reduction to the unrealized appreciation of the value of its investment in Katonah Debt Advisors and contributed additional equity to Katonah Debt Advisors. Consequently, this settlement did not have a material impact on Kohlberg Capital’s net investment income or quarterly dividend.

F-49

The Company and certain directors and officers are named as defendants in three putative class actions pending in the Southern District of New York brought by shareholders of the Company and filed in December 2009 and January 2010. The complaints in these three actions allege violations of Sections 10 and 20 of the Exchange Act based on the Company’s disclosures of its year-end 2008 and first- and second-quarter 2009 financial statements. In addition, the Company and certain directors and officers are also named as defendants in a derivative action filed on March 2, 2010 pending in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York. The complaint in this action purports to state causes of action for breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and corporate waste. The Company believes that each of the above-mentioned suits is without merit and will defend each vigorously.

Except as set forth above, neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, is currently a party to any material legal proceedings, other than routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Such proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of the Company’s operations.

9. LIQUIDITY

As discussed in Note 6, the Company is currently using any income generated by the assets collateralizing its secured credit Facility to pay principal, interest and other expenses of the Facility – despite the fact that, if it wants to remain a RIC and continue to be afforded favorable tax treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is required to distribute to the shareholders substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including the net amounts generated by the collateralized assets. These collateralized assets with a market value of approximately $291 million represent approximately 66% of the Company’s total assets (at fair value) at December 31, 2009 and contributed approximately 62% of the Company’s investment income for the year ended December 31, 2009. Because the Company is using net interest income earned on the assets securing the Facility to amortize the Facility during the amortization period, the Company may need to sell other assets not pledged to the Facility, potentially at a loss, in order to generate sufficient cash to make the required dividend distributions necessary to maintain its RIC status. In addition, at the end of the amortization period, the Company may be required to sell or transfer the remaining assets securing the Facility, potentially at a loss, to repay any remaining outstanding borrowings. Any such asset sale could adversely affect the Company’s business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. The Company expects that its cash on hand, liquid investments, and cash generated from operations, including income earned from investments and any income distributions made by Katonah Debt Advisors, the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio company, will be adequate to meet the Company’s liquidity needs and distribution requirements over the next twelve months.

If the Company is unable to renew or replace the Facility, the Company’s liquidity may be significantly reduced. If these conditions continue for a prolonged period of time, or worsen in the future, the Company could lose key employees and its business prospects could be negatively impacted. Even if the Company is able to renew or replace the Facility, such new debt capital may be at a higher cost and/or on less favorable terms and conditions than the Facility. In addition, equity capital is, and may continue to be, difficult to raise because, subject to limited exceptions, the Company may not issue and sell shares of its common stock at a price below NAV without stockholder approval and issuing equity at depressed stock prices can be dilutive to the Company’s stockholders. These factors and the Company’s inability to raise additional capital to date have resulted in a reduction in new originations, curtailed the Company’s ability to grow and have had a negative impact on the Company’s liquidity and operating results. The continued inability to raise additional capital could further constrain the Company’s liquidity, negatively impact the Company’s business prospects, cause the departure of key employees and negatively impact the Company’s operating results.

10. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On December 11, 2006, the Company completed its IPO of 14,462,000 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share, less an underwriting discount and IPO expenses paid by the Company totaling $1.22 per share for net proceeds of approximately $200 million. Prior to its IPO, the Company issued to affiliates of Kohlberg & Co. a total of 3,484,333 shares of its common stock for the acquisition of certain subordinated securities issued by CLO Funds and for the acquisition of Katonah Debt Advisors. On April 28, 2008 the Company completed a rights offering which resulted in the issuance of 3.1 million common shares and net proceeds of approximately $27 million. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company issued 501,873 and 316,237 shares, respectively, of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 359,250 shares of restricted stock for which 16,667 shares were forfeited and 3,000 shares were converted to common stock during the year due to vesting. The total number of shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was 22,363,281 and 21,776,519, respectively.

11. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

During 2006 and as amended in 2008, the Company established an equity incentive plan (the “Plan”) and reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide officers and prospective employees of the Company with additional incentives and align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Options granted under the Plan are exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value (market closing price) of the shares on the day the option is granted. Restricted stock granted under the Plan is granted at a price equal to the fair market value (market closing price) of the shares on the day such restricted stock is granted.

Stock Options

On December 11, 2006, concurrent with the completion of the Company’s IPO, options to purchase a total of 910,000 shares of common stock were granted to the Company’s executive officers and directors with an exercise price per share of $15.00 (the public offering price of the common stock). Such options vest equally over two, three or four years from the date of grant and have a ten-year exercise period. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company granted 495,000 options to its employees with a weighted average exercise price per share of $16.63, with a risk-free rate ranging between 4.6% to 5.3%, with volatility rates ranging between 20.5% to 22.4%, assumed dividend yields ranging from 8.6% to 9.7% and for which 25% of such options vest on each of the subsequent four grant date anniversaries and have a ten-year exercise period. During the year ended December 31, 2009, and as approved by shareholders during the annual shareholders’ meeting on June 13, 2008, 20,000 options were granted to non-employee directors as partial annual compensation for their services as director. These grants were made with a ten-year exercise period with an exercise price of $11.97, with a risk free rate of 4.6% with a volatility rate of 28%, assumed dividend yield of 16.5% and for which 50% of such options vest upon grant date and 50% vest on the first grant date anniversary.

On June 13, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to allow employees who agree to cancel options that they hold to receive one share of restricted stock for every five options so cancelled. The shares of restricted stock received by employees through any such transaction will vest annually generally over the remaining vesting schedule as was applicable to the cancelled options. During the year ended December 31, 2009, employees holding options to purchase 1,295,000 shares individually entered into agreements to cancel such options and to receive 259,000 shares of restricted stock. As a result of this conversion, an incremental cost of $573,000 is being amortized over the vesting period of the restricted stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, 90,000 options granted to employees were forfeited. During the year ended December 31, 2009, 1,265,000 options granted to employees were forfeited, inclusive of options forfeited in exchange for restricted stock as noted above. As of December 31, 2009, 20,000 total options were outstanding, 10,000 of which were exercisable. The options have an estimated remaining contractual life of 9 years and 5 months.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the weighted average grant date fair value per share for options granted during the period was $0.90. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the weighted average grant date fair value per share for options granted during the period was $1.90. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the weighted average grant date fair value per share for options forfeited during the period was $1.58 and $1.81, respectively. Information with respect to options granted, exercised and forfeited under the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2009 is as follows:

The Company uses a Binary Option Pricing Model (American, call option) to establish the expected value of all stock option grants. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized non-cash compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $21,000. For the year ended December 31, 2008, non-cash compensation expense related to stock options was approximately $329,000; of this amount approximately $260,000 was expensed at the Company and approximately $69,000 was a reimbursable expense allocated to Katonah Debt Advisors. For the year ended December 31, 2007, non-cash compensation expense related to stock options was approximately $600,000; of this amount approximately $495,000 was expensed at the Company and approximately $105,000 was a reimbursable expense allocated to Katonah Debt Advisors. At December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $4,000 of compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards, the cost for which is expected to be recognized by the Company over a weighted average period of 0.4 years.

Restricted Stock

On June 13, 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, and the board of directors approved the grant of awards of 100,250 shares of restricted stock to certain executive officers of the Company. Such awards of restricted stock will vest as to 50% of the shares on the third anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50% of the shares on the fourth anniversary of the grant date.

As noted above, on June 13, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to allow employees who agree to cancel options that they hold to receive shares of the Company’s common stock to receive one share of restricted stock for every five options so cancelled.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, 117,000 shares of restricted stock were vested and converted into common shares. As of December 31, 2009, 302,139 restricted shares remain unvested.

As of December 31, 2008, after giving effect to these option cancellations and restricted stock awards, there were options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock outstanding and there were 339,583 shares of restricted stock outstanding. Information with respect to restricted stock granted, exercised and forfeited under the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2009 is as follows:

The Company determines the cost of restricted stock as the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and amortizes such cost over the vesting period. For the year ended December 31, 2009, non-cash compensation expense related to restricted stock was approximately $890,000 of this amount approximately $609,000 was expensed at the Company and approximately $281,000 was a reimbursable expense allocated to Katonah Debt Advisors. For the year ended December 31, 2008, non-cash compensation expense related to restricted stock was approximately $559,000; of this amount approximately $463,000 was expensed at the Company and approximately $96,000 was a reimbursable expense allocated to Katonah Debt Advisors. There was no restricted stock expense for the year ended December 31, 2007. Dividends are paid on all issued shares of restricted stock, whether or not vested. In general, shares of unvested restricted stock are forfeited upon the recipient’s termination of employment. At December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $1 million of compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock based awards, the cost for which is expected to be recognized by the Company over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

12. OTHER EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

The Company adopted a 401(k) plan (“401K Plan”) effective January 1, 2007. The 401K Plan is open to all full time employees. The Plan permits an employee to defer a portion of their total annual compensation up to the Internal Revenue Service annual maximum based on age and eligibility.

13. SELECTED QUARTERLY DATA AND RESTATEMENT OF INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA (unaudited) (as restated)

As noted above, the Company has restated its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) and the unaudited financial information the interim periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 to correct errors in the application of accounting for the fair value of the Company’s illiquid investments and the revenue recognition for certain non-cash PIK investments, which errors impact the amount of unrealized gains (losses) reported for the Company’s illiquid investments, which affects the calculation of the Company’s NAV and net income, and also impact net investment income as well as the cost basis and the net change in unrealized appreciation on certain non-cash PIK investments. The selected quarterly data presented below reflects this restatement.

14. RESTATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s annual financial statements for 2008, the interim periods within 2008, and the first two quarters of 2009 have been restated to correct errors in the application of accounting for the fair value of the Company’s illiquid investments and the revenue recognition for certain non-cash PIK investments, which errors impact the amount of unrealized gains (losses) reported for the Company’s illiquid investments, which affect the calculation of the Company’s NAV and net income, and also impact net investment income as well as the cost basis and the net change in unrealized appreciation on certain non-cash PIK investments. The Company now derives fair value for its illiquid investments that do not have indicative fair values based upon active trades primarily by using the Market Yield Approach and also considers recent loan amendments or other activity specific to the subject asset. Discount rates applied to estimated contractual cash flows for an underlying asset vary by specific investment, industry, priority and nature of the debt security (such as the seniority or security interest of the debt security) and are assessed relative to two indices, a leveraged loan index and a high-yield bond index, at the valuation date. The Company has identified these two indices as benchmarks for broad market information related to its loan and debt investments. Because the Company has not identified any market index that directly correlates to the loan and debt investments held by the Company and therefore uses the two benchmark indices, these market indices may require significant adjustment to better correlate such market data for the calculation of fair value of the investment under the Market Yield Approach. Such adjustments require judgment and may be material to the calculation of fair value. Further adjustments to the discount rate may be applied to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. When broad market indices are used as part of the valuation methodology, their use is subject to adjustment for many factors, including priority, collateral used as security, structure, performance and other quantitative and qualitative attributes of the asset being valued. The resulting present value determination is then weighted along with any quotes from observable transactions and broker/pricing quotes. If such quotes are indicative of actual transactions with reasonable trading volume at or near the valuation date that are not liquidation or distressed sales, relatively more reliance will be put on such quotes to determine fair value. If such quotes are not indicative of market transactions or are insufficient as to volume, reliability, consistency or other relevant factors, such quotes will be compared with other fair value indications and given relatively less weight based on their relevancy. Management retroactively applied such revised valuation procedures to the Company’s portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2008 (and the quarterly periods included in such year) as well as the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009. In addition, for investments which earn non-cash PIK interest and for which there has been a substantial decline in fair value due to underlying credit concerns for an extended period, the Company no longer accrues such non-cash PIK interest as income. As a result, the Company has restated the financial statements for each of those periods to reflect the use of these revised valuation and revenue recognition procedures. No financial statements for periods ended prior to January 1, 2008 are impacted by the restatement. The appropriateness of specific valuation methods and techniques may change as market conditions and available data change.

Confidential Information and Restricted Activities.

(a)

Confidential Information. During the course of your employment with the Company, you will learn of Confidential Information, as defined below, and you may develop Confidential Information on behalf of the Company. You agree that you will not use or disclose to any Person (except as required by applicable law or for the proper performance of your regular duties and responsibilities for the Company) any Confidential Information obtained by you incident to your employment or any other association with the Company or any of its Affiliates. You understand that this restriction shall continue to apply after your employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination.

(b)

Protection of Documents. All documents, records and files, in any media of whatever kind and description, relating to the business, present or otherwise, of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and any copies, in whole or in part, thereof (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by you shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. You agree to safeguard all Documents and to surrender to the Company, at the time your employment terminates or at such earlier time or times as the Committee or its designee may specify, all Documents then in your possession or control.

(c)

Non-Competition. You acknowledge that in your employment with the Company you will have access to Confidential Information which, if disclosed, would assist in competition against the Company and its Affiliates and that you will also generate goodwill for the Company and its Affiliates in the course of your employment. Therefore, you agree that the following restrictions on your activities during and after your employment are necessary to protect the goodwill, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates:

(i)

While you are employed by the Company and for six (6) months after your employment terminates (in the aggregate, the “Non-Competition Period”), you agree that you will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or


Mr. John M. Stack
November 6, 2009		Page 3

indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, finance, or participate in the ownership, marketing, management, operation, control, fundraising or financing of, or be connected as an officer, director, employee, partner, principal, agent, representative, consultant, or otherwise use or permit your name to be used in connection with any business or enterprise engaged in the United States in the business of structuring CDO or CLO securitization vehicles, analyzing and acquiring loans and other assets to be held by CDO or CLO vehicles, arranging for the issuance of debt and preferred securities by CDO or CLO vehicles, acting as collateral managers for such securitizations, or performing similar functions.

(ii)

You agree that during the Non-Competition Period, you will not, directly or through any other Person, (i) hire any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates or seek to persuade any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to discontinue employment, (ii) solicit or encourage any customer or investor of the Company or any of its Affiliates or independent contractor providing services to the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship with them or (iii) seek to persuade any customer or investor or prospective customer or investor of the Company or any of its Affiliates to conduct with anyone else any business or activity that such customer or investor or prospective customer or investor conducts or could conduct with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(d)

In signing this agreement, you give the Company assurance that you have carefully read and considered all the terms and conditions of this agreement, including the restraints imposed on you under this Section 3. You agree without reservation that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company and its Affiliates and that each and every one of the restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. You further agree that, were you to breach any of the covenants contained in this Section 3, the damage to the Company and its Affiliates would be irreparable. You therefore agree that the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any breach or threatened breach by you of any of those covenants, without having to post bond. You and the Company further agree that, in the event that any provision of this Section 3 is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its being extended over too great a time, too large a geographic area or too great a range of activities, that provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. It is also agreed that each of the Company’s Affiliates shall have the right to enforce all of your obligations to that Affiliate under this agreement, including without limitation pursuant to this Section 3.

Termination of Employment. Your employment under this agreement may be terminated at any time pursuant to this Section 4.

(a)

The Company may terminate your employment for cause upon notice to you setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of the cause. The following shall constitute cause for


Mr. John M. Stack
November 6, 2009		Page 4

termination: (i) your repeated material failure to perform (other than by reason of disability), or gross negligence in the performance of, your duties and responsibilities to the Company or any of its Affiliates which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure or negligence is delivered to you; (ii) your material breach of this agreement or any other agreement between you and the Company or any of its Affiliates which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is delivered to you; or (iii) commission by you of a felony involving moral turpitude or fraud with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Company also may terminate your employment at any time without cause upon notice to you.

(b)

This agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of your death during employment, and you shall be entitled to the severance payments set forth under 5 (a) below. In the event of your death, any amounts owed to you under this agreement will be paid to the beneficiary designated in writing by you or, if no beneficiary has been so designated by you, to your estate. In the event you become disabled during employment and, as a result, are unable to continue to perform substantially all of your duties and responsibilities under this agreement, the Company will continue to pay you your base salary and to provide you benefits in accordance with Section 2(a) above, to the extent permitted by plan terms, for up to twelve (12) weeks of disability during any period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) consecutive calendar days. If you are unable to return to work after twelve (12) weeks of disability, the Company may terminate your employment, upon written notice to you, and you shall be entitled to the severance payments set forth under 5(a) below. If any question shall arise as to whether you are disabled to the extent that you are unable to perform substantially all of your duties and responsibilities for the Company and its Affiliates, you shall, at the Company’s request, submit to a medical examination by a physician selected by the Company to whom you or your guardian, if any, has no reasonable objection to determine whether you are so disabled and such determination shall for the purposes of this agreement be conclusive of the issue. If such a question arises and you fail to submit to the requested medical examination, the Company’s determination of the issue shall be binding on you.

(c)

You may terminate your employment hereunder for “Good Reason” by providing written notice to the Company of the condition giving rise to the Good Reason no later than thirty (30) days following the occurrence of the condition; by giving the Company thirty (30) days to remedy the condition; and, if the Company fails to remedy the condition, by terminating your employment within ten (10) days following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. For purposes of this letter agreement, the term “Good Reason” means, without your consent, the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (i) material diminution in the nature or scope of your responsibilities, duties or authority as contemplated by this letter agreement; (ii) failure by the Company to pay the minimum Bonus Compensation set forth in 2(b) above in any year under this letter agreement if you have achieved the annual financial target referenced therein; or (iii) your being required to relocate to a principal place of employment outside of the New York metropolitan area. For purposes of this paragraph 4(c) a change in reporting relationships resulting from a


Mr. John M. Stack
November 6, 2009		Page 5

Change in Control will constitute Good Reason. In addition, a termination of your employment by you for any reason during the 90-day period immediately following a Change in Control shall be deemed to be a termination for Good Reason for all purposes of this letter agreement.

Severance Payments and Other Matters Related to Termination.

(a)

In the event of termination of your employment by the Company without cause, the Company will continue to pay you your base salary (“severance payments”) and will continue to contribute to the premium cost of your health insurance on the same terms and conditions as it contributes for active employees provided that you make a timely election under the federal law known as “COBRA”. The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to cease the continuation of base salary and contributions toward health insurance premiums at any point after you have received six (6) months of base salary continuation and health insurance contributions (or one (1) year if you are terminated by the Company within ninety (90) days of the completion of a Change in Control) provided that it also releases you from your remaining obligation under Section 3(c)(i) above. The Company will also pay you on the date of termination any base salary earned but not paid through the date of termination and pay for any vacation time accrued but not used to that date. In addition, the Company will pay you any bonus compensation and profit sharing payment to which you are entitled in accordance with Sections 2(b) and 2(c) above, prorated to the date of termination and payable at the time such monies are payable to Company executives generally. Any obligation of the Company to provide you severance payments or other payments or benefits under this Section 5(a) is conditioned, however, upon your signing and not revoking a release of claims in the form provided by the Company (the “Employee Release”), which shall be delivered to you not later than ten (10) business days following the date of termination and you shall be required to execute the Employee Release and return it to the Company, if at all, not later than the date determined by the Company to be the last day of the period it must provide to you by law to consider the Employee Release. All severance payments will be in the form of salary continuation, payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company, and will begin at the Company’s next regular payroll period following the effective date of the Employee Release, but shall be retroactive to the date of termination. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this agreement, no bonus or severance payments or other payments or benefits will be due and payable under any provision of this Section 5(a) until the next regular Company payday following the effective date of the Employee Release.

(b)

In the event of termination of your employment by the Company for cause or by you for any reason, the Company will pay you any base salary earned but not paid through the date of termination and pay for any vacation time accrued but not used to that date. The Company shall have no obligation to you for any bonus or other incentive compensation, benefits continuation or severance payments.

(c)

In the event of termination of your employment by death, or by disability, the Company will pay you any base salary earned but not paid through the date of termination, pay for any vacation time accrued but not used to that date, and any bonus or other incentive compensation to which you are entitled in accordance with Sections 2(b) and 2(c) above, prorated to the date of termination and payable at the time such bonuses are payable to Company executives generally. The Company shall have no obligation to you for any severance payments or benefits continuation.

(d)

Except for any rights you may have under Section 5(a) above or under the federal law known as “COBRA” to continue participation in the Company’s group health and dental plans at your cost, benefits shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plans based on the date of termination of your employment, without regard to any continuation of base salary or other payment to you following termination. Your Option and/or Restricted Stock Agreement will govern your exercise, if any, of your option following termination of employment.

(e)

Provisions of this agreement shall survive any termination if so provided in this agreement or if necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of other surviving provisions, including without limitation your obligations under Section 3 of this agreement. The obligation of the Company to make payments to you under this Section 5 is expressly conditioned upon your continued full performance of obligations under Section 3 hereof. Upon termination by either you or the Company, all rights, duties and obligations of you and the Company to each other shall cease, except as otherwise expressly provided in this agreement.

Definitions. For purposes of this agreement, the following definitions apply:

“Affiliates” means all persons and entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company, where control may be by management authority, equity interest or otherwise.

“Change in Control” means:

(ii)

Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person who first becomes a director subsequent to the date hereof whose recommendation, election or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent

Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the directors of the Company as described in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall be, for the purposes of this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or

(iii)

Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a reorganization share exchange, merger or consolidation with respect to which, in any such case, the persons who were the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, share exchange, merger or consolidation do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company; or

(iv)

Liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

“Confidential Information” means any and all information of the Company and its Affiliates that is not generally available to the public. Confidential Information also includes any information received by the Company or any of its Affiliates from any Person with any understanding, express or implied, that it will not be disclosed.

“Person” means an individual, a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a partnership, an estate, a trust or any other entity or organization, other than the Company or any of its Affiliates.

Conflicting Agreements. You hereby represent and warrant that your signing of this agreement and the performance of your obligations under it will not breach or be in conflict with any other agreement to which you are a party or are bound and that you are not now subject to any covenants against competition or similar covenants or any court order that could affect the performance of your obligations under this agreement. You agree that you will not disclose to or use on behalf of the Company any proprietary information of a third party without that party’s consent.

Withholding. All payments made by the Company under this agreement shall be reduced by any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law.

Assignment. Neither you nor the Company may make any assignment of this agreement or any interest in it, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that the Company may assign its rights and obligations under this agreement without your consent to one of its Affiliates or to any Person with whom the Company shall hereafter affect a reorganization, consolidate with, or merge into or to whom it transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon you and the Company, and each of our respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns.
