majority of the variable rate loans to our portfolio companies bear
interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either
LIBOR or

or the
Prime Rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or
monthly.
For each such loan, we have provided the weighted average annual
stated
interest rate in effect at June 30,
2008.

A
majority of the variable rate loans to our portfolio companies bear
interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either
LIBOR or
an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate
or the
Prime Rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or
monthly.
For each such loan, we have provided the weighted average annual
stated
interest rate in effect at December 31,
2007.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
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.
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, converted to a corporation incorporated in Delaware on
December 11, 2006. Prior to its initial public offering (“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 and in securities issued by collateralized loan obligation funds
(“CLO Funds”) managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and two other asset managers to
the Company. Katonah Debt Advisors manages CLO Funds which invest in broadly
syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments. As of June
30,
2008, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.3 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 continue to receive distributions of recurring fee
income and to generate capital appreciation from its investment in the asset
management business of Katonah Debt Advisors. 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 will not have to pay corporate-level taxes
on
any income that it distributes to its stockholders.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of
its
special purpose financing subsidiary, Kohlberg Capital Funding LLC I. In
accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933
and
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company does not consolidate portfolio
company investments, including those in which it has a controlling interest
(Katonah Debt Advisors and its affiliates currently is the only company in
which
the Company has a controlling interest) or its special purpose financing
subsidiary.
The
accompanying unaudited 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”) for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
for annual financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements
and
notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”).
The
financial statements reflect all 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. The results of operations for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to
be
expected for the full year.
Certain
reclassifications were made to prior year’s presentation to conform to the
current year.
28
Investments
Investment
transactions are recorded on the applicable trade date. Realized gains or losses
are computed using the specific identification method.
Loans
and Debt Securities.
For
loans and debt securities for which market quotations are readily available,
such as broadly syndicated term loans and bonds, fair value generally is equal
to the market price for those loans and securities. For loans and debt
securities for which a market quotation is not readily available, such as middle
market term loans, second lien term loans and mezzanine debt investments, fair
value is determined by evaluating the borrower’s enterprise value and other
methodologies generally used to determine fair value. The analysis of enterprise
value or overall financial condition or other factors or methodologies may
lead
to a determination of fair value at a different amount other than cost; as
a
general rule, the Company will value such loans or debt securities at cost,
however such loans and debt securities will be subject to fair value write-downs
when the asset is considered impaired or other fair value adjustments based
on
other observable market data or analysis of the borrower.
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 cash flow from operations of the portfolio company 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 value 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 price 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. The Company’s investment in its
wholly-owned asset management company, Katonah Debt Advisors, is valued based
on
standard measures such as the percentage of assets under management and a
multiple of operating income used to value other asset management
companies.
CLO
Fund Securities.
The
securities issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors are primarily
held by third parties. 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 Investments”). The Company
distinguishes CLO funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors as “CLO fund securities
managed by affiliate.” The Company’s CLO Investments 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. As of June 30, 2008, CLO Investments represented approximately
11%
of the Company’s investment portfolio.
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 the cash
outflows for interest expense, debt paydown and other fund costs for the CLO
Funds which are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and
therefore begin to sell assets and/or use principal repayments to pay-down
CLO
Fund debt, and for which there continue to be net cash distributions to the
class of securities owned by the Company, or (ii) the net asset value of
the CLO Fund for CLO Funds which are approaching or past the end of their
reinvestment period and therefore begin to sell assets and/or use principal
repayments to pay-down CLO Fund debt, 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 bonds or preferred shares to those in which the Company
has
invested. The Company recognizes unrealized appreciation or depreciation on
our
investments in CLO Fund securities as comparable yields in the market change
and/or based on changes in net asset values 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 Investment. The Company determines the fair value
of
our investments in CLO Fund securities on an individual security-by-security
basis.
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. Duff & Phelps, LLC, an independent valuation firm,
provided third party valuation consulting services to the Company’s Board of
Directors which consisted of certain limited procedures that the Company’s Board
of Directors identified and requested them to perform. For the preceding twelve
months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors asked
Duff & Phelps, LLC to perform the limited procedures on 43
investments comprising approximately 52% of the total investments at fair value
as of June 30, 2008 for which market quotations are not readily available.
For
the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors asked
Duff & Phelps, LLC to perform the limited procedures on 21
investments comprising approximately 44% of the total investments at fair value
as of December 31, 2007 for which market or third party quotations were not
readily available. Upon completion of the limited procedures, Duff &
Phelps, LLC concluded that the fair value of those investments subjected to
the
limited procedures did not appear to be unreasonable.
29
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
our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been
used had a ready market existed for such investments, and the differences could
be material.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents.
The
Company defines cash equivalents as demand deposits. Cash and cash equivalents
are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
Restricted
Cash.
Restricted cash consists mostly of cash held in an operating account pursuant
to
the Company’s secured revolving credit facility agreement with its
lender.
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. 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 June 30, 2008, two issuers representing 1% 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.
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 and less 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. At June 30, 2008,
there was an unamortized debt issuance cost of approximately $2 million included
in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet. Amortization expense for
the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $210,000 and $115,000,
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
declaration 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 fiscal 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.

INVESTMENTS
The
Company invests in senior secured loans and mezzanine debt and, to a lesser
extent, equity capital 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 flows as the primary source for servicing
debt. However, the Company may invest in other industries if it is presented
with attractive opportunities.
The
following table shows the Company’s portfolio by security type at June 30, 2008

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 June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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.
|
The
Company may invest up to 30% of the investment portfolio in opportunistic
investments in high-yield bonds, debt and equity securities in CLO Funds,
distressed debt or equity securities of public companies. 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. As a result
of regulatory restrictions, the Company is not permitted to invest in any
portfolio company in which Kohlberg & Co. or any fund that it manages
has a pre-existing investment.
32
At
June
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, approximately 13% and 11%, respectively, of
the Company’s investments were foreign assets (including the Company’s
investments in CLO Funds, which are typically domiciled outside the U.S. and
represented approximately 11% and 6% of its portfolio on such
dates).
At
June
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s ten largest portfolio
companies represented approximately 34% and 29%, 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 13% and 12%
of
the total fair value of the Company’s investments at June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively. Excluding Katonah Debt Advisors and CLO
Fund securities, our ten largest portfolio companies represent approximately
17%
of the total fair value of our investments at both June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007.
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. It is the Company’s
intention that its aggregate CLO Investments generally not exceed 10% of the
Company’s total investment portfolio. 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
we
have any 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 and less 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 expects to earn 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.
As
of
June 30, 2008, all of the CLO Funds in which the Company holds investments
maintained the original issue credit ratings on all rated classes of their
securities and were continuing to make cash payments to all classes of
investors. As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s seasoned CLO Fund securities had
an average annual cash yield of approximately 34%.
The
subordinated securities and preferred stock securities are considered equity
positions in the CLO Funds and, as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
the Company had approximately $57 million and $31 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 June 30, 2008 was approximately $66
million and aggregate unrealized losses on the CLO Fund securities totaled
approximately $9 million. The cost basis of the Company’s investment in CLO Fund
equity securities as of December 31, 2007 was approximately $36 million and
aggregate unrealized losses on the CLO Fund securities totaled approximately
$5
million.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements,” (“SFAS 157”)
as of January 1, 2008, which among other matters, requires enhanced
disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value.
SFAS
157 defines fair value, establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which
prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring
investments at fair value. 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.
Investments
measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of
the
following categories.
Level
I – 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 SFAS 157, the Company
does
not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where
we
hold 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, and fair
value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
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.
33
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
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 process.
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 considers factors specific to the
investment.
The
following table summarizes the fair value of investments by the above SFAS
157
fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2008:

As
a BDC,
it is required that the Company 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 SFAS 157 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.
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.
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 comparable to its asset manager affiliates and typically identifies a
range of performance measures and/or adjustments within the comparable
population for 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.
Values
derived through use of discounted cash flow models and residual enterprise
value
models typically have little, if any, market activity or market-observable
data
for such investments. Such investments are grouped as Level III
assets.
The
changes in investments measured at fair value for which the Company has used
Level III inputs to determine fair value are as follows:

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 June 30, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors
and
its affiliates had approximately $2.3 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 June 30, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.3
billion of assets under management and the Company’s 100% equity interest in
Katonah Debt Advisors was valued at approximately $64 million. 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. 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
stock.
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.
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 for both deferred tax timing
adjustments and permanent tax adjustments. Deferred tax timing adjustments
may
include differences between lease cash payments to GAAP straight line expense
and adjustments for the recognition and timing of depreciation, bonuses to
employees, stock option expense, and interest rate caps. Permanent differences
may include adjustments, limitations or disallowances for meals and
entertainment expenses, penalties and tax goodwill
amortization.
35
Tax
goodwill amortization 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, for tax 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, resulting in an annual
difference between GAAP income and taxable income by approximately $2 million
per year over such period.
At
June
30, 2008 and at December 31, 2007 a net amount due from affiliates totaled
approximately $320,000 and approximately $540,000, respectively.

The
Company intends to distribute the current and accumulated net income of Katonah
Debt Advisors in the future.
Distressed
Debt Platform
In
December 2007, the Company committed to make an investment in a new distressed
investment platform organized by Steven Panagos and Jonathan Katz named Panagos
and Katz Situational Investing (“PKSI”). Mr. Panagos was most recently
national practice leader of Kroll Zolfo Cooper’s Corporate Advisory and
Restructuring Practice and Mr. Katz was the founding partner of Special
Situations Investing, a distressed investing vehicle of JP Morgan. The Company
expects that funds managed by PKSI will invest in the debt and equity securities
of companies that are restructuring due to financial or operational distress.
The Company also expects that PKSI may selectively originate new credit
facilities with borrowers that are otherwise unable to access traditional credit
markets. The Company has committed to invest up to $2.5 million directly in
PKSI
through an investment in Class A shares. The Company has a 35% economic
interest in PKSI through its investment in Class B shares on which it will
receive its pro rata share of PKSI’s operating income and may make an investment
of up to $25 million in the funds managed by PKSI on which the Company will
receive investment income. PKSI may also source distressed debt opportunities
in
which we may make direct investments. As of June 30, 2008, the Company funded
approximately $1.2 million of its $2.5 million total commitment to PKSI which
is
an investment in
the
Class A shares of PKSI. As of June 30, 2008, PKSI had no significant
operations.
The
Company’s debt obligations consist of the following:

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 credit 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.
Advances
under the Facility are used by the Company primarily to make additional
investments. The Company expects that the Facility will be secured by loans
that
it currently owns and the loans acquired by the Company with the advances under
the Facility. The Company will borrow under the Facility through its
wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, Kohlberg Capital
Funding LLC I.
The
weighted average daily debt balance for the three months ended June 30, 2008
and
2007 was approximately $235 million and $56 million, respectively. For the
three
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average interest rate on
weighted average outstanding borrowings was approximately 2.9 % and 5.3%,
respectively, which excludes the amortization of deferred financing costs and
facility and program fees on unfunded balances. The Company is in compliance
with all its debt covenants. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had
restricted cash balances of approximately $6 million which it maintained in
accordance with the terms of the Facility. A portion of these funds,
approximately $3 million, was released to the Company in July 2008.
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. At June 30, 2008, the Company had no
current or accumulated undistributed taxable income.
For
the
quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company declared a dividend on June 13, 2008
of
$0.41 per share for a total of approximately $9 million. The record date
was July 9, 2008 and the dividend was distributed on July 28,
2008.

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 June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company
had committed to make a total of approximately $3 million and $4 million,
respectively, of investments in various revolving senior secured loans, of
which
approximately $600,000 was funded as of June 30, 2008 and $865,000 was funded
as
of December 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the
Company had committed to make a total of approximately $875,000 and $8 million,
respectively, of investments in a delayed draw senior secured loans of which
none was funded as of June 30, 2008 and approximately $5 million was funded
as
of December 31, 2007.
Katonah
Debt Advisors is currently a party to an agreement with Bear Stearns entered
into 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 has undertaken certain “first loss” commitments, as described in
more detail below. In return for Katonah Debt Advisors’ first loss commitment,
Katonah Debt Advisors is 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 our first loss commitment, we receive
net
interest income from the underlying assets in the loan warehouse.

Katonah
Debt Advisors has 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 “CLO Funds”), and to be managed by
Katonah Debt Advisors (directly or indirectly through a services contract with
an affiliate of Katonah Debt Advisors). The agreement with Bear Stearns survives
the merger of Bear Stearns with JPMorgan Chase in June 2008 and continues to
be
in effect in accordance with its original terms. As part of this engagement,
Katonah Debt Advisors entered into certain credit lines with Bear Stearns to
accumulate and fund into a loan warehouse the initial assets for the CLO Funds.
As mentioned above, Katonah Debt Advisors has undertaken a first loss
commitment, requiring Katonah Debt Advisors to reimburse Bear Stearns for (i)
certain losses (if any) incurred on the assets warehoused for the 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.
Kohlberg Capital 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 and such
assets are no longer subject to a first loss obligation. 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.
As
of
June 30, 2008, Katonah 2008-I and Katonah 2008-II had acquired an aggregate
of
approximately $152 million and $123 million in assets, respectively, determined
on the basis of the par value of such assets. If the portfolio of remaining
warehoused assets for Katonah 2008-I and Katonah 2008-II had been liquidated
in
accordance with the terms of the engagement with Bear Stearns on June 30, 2008,
the loss on such portfolio would have exceeded our maximum first loss
obligation. Katonah Debt Advisors is currently in discussions with Bear Stearns
regarding the timing and structure of the remaining CLO Funds, and its ability
to access the warehouse credit line contemplated by the Bear Stearns commitment
letter.
As
of
June 30, 2008, the Company funded approximately $1.2 of our $2.5 million total
commitment to PKSI which is an investment in the Class A shares of
PKSI.

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 year ended
December 31, 2007, the Company issued 71,366 shares of common stock under
its dividend reinvestment plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2008,
the
Company issued 116,783 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment
plan and 100,250 shares of restricted stock. The total number of shares issued
and outstanding as of June 30, 2008 was 21,334,732 and 21,234,482, respectively
and shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2007 was
18,017,699.
10.
STOCK OPTIONS
During
2006 and as amended in 2008, the Company established a stock option 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 are exercisable at a price
equal to the fair market value (market closing price) of the shares on the
day
the option is granted.
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% 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 six months ended June 30, 2008, 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% and for which 50% of such options vest
upon grant date and 50% vest on the first grant date
anniversary.
38
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, 90,000 options granted to employees were
forfeited. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, 15,000 options granted
to
employees were forfeited. As of June 30, 2008, 1,320,000 total options were
outstanding, 412,500 of which were exercisable. The options have an estimated
remaining contractual life of 8 years and 6 months.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, the weighted average grant date fair value
per share for options granted during the period was $1.50. During the year
ended
December 31, 2007, the weighted average grant date fair value per share for
options granted during the period was $1.90. For both the six months ended
June
30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, the weighted average grant
date fair value per share for options forfeited during the period was $1.81.

The
Company uses a Binary Option Pricing Model (American, call option) as its
valuation model to establish the expected value of all stock option grants.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2008, total stock option expense of approximately
$310,000 was recognized and expensed at the Company; of this amount
approximately $250,000 was expensed at the Company and approximately $60,000
was
expensed at Katonah Debt Advisors. At June 30, 2008, the Company had
approximately $1.2 million of compensation cost related to unvested stock-based
awards the cost for which is expected to be recognized and allocated between
the
Company and Katonah Debt Advisors over a weighted average period of 2.0
years.
Restricted
Stock
On
June
13, 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2006 Equity
Incentive Plan, as amended. As of June 13, 2008, the board of directors had
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. During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized non-cash compensation
expense of approximately $12,000 relating to restricted stock grants. Dividends
are paid on all outstanding shares of restricted stock, whether or not vested.
In general, shares of unvested restricted stock are forfeited upon the
recipient’s termination of employment.
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 1 share of restricted stock for every 5
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. On June 30, 2008
none of such shares were vested. Subsequently on July 1, 2008, employees
holding options to purchase 1,250,000 shares individually entered into
agreements to cancel such options and to receive 250,000 shares of restricted
stock. As a result, as of July 1, 2008, after giving effect to these option
cancellations and restricted stock awards, there were options to purchase 70,000
shares of common stock outstanding and there were 350,250 shares of restricted
stock outstanding.

11.
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. The Company makes
contributions to the 401K Plan of up to 2.67% of the employee’s first 74.9% of
maximum eligible compensation, which fully vest at the time of contribution.
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company made contributions
to
the 401K Plan of approximately $10,000 and $20,000. The Company contributed
$5,000 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
The
Company has also adopted a deferred compensation plan (“Pension Plan”) effective
January 1, 2007. Employees are eligible for the Pension Plan provided that
they are employed and working with the Company for at least 100 days during
the
year and remain employed as of the last day of the year. Employees do not make
contributions to the Pension Plan. On behalf of the employee, the Company
contributes to the Pension Plan 1) 8.0% of all compensation up to the Internal
Revenue Service annual maximum and 2) 5.7% excess contributions on any
incremental amounts above the social security wage base limitation and up to
the
Internal Revenue Service annual maximum. Employees vest 100% in the Pension
Plan
after five years of service. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008,
the Company made contributions to the Pension Plan of approximately $50,000
and
$100,000. The Company contributed $25,000 for both the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007.
12.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities (“SFAS 159”), which provides companies with an option to report
selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of
SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial
instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets
and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 establishes presentation and
disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies
that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and
liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of a company’s choice to
use fair value on its earnings. SFAS 159 also requires entities to display
the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance
sheet. SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements of other
accounting standards, including fair value measurement disclosures in
SFAS 157. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s
first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has
determined that adoption of SFAS 159 does not have an impact on the Company’s
financial position or results
of operations.
In
March
2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133” (“SFAS 161”) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting
for
derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors
to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are
accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of
operations and financial position. The Company expects that the adoption of
SFAS
161 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results
of operations.

forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The matters discussed in this report, as
well

There
are
a number of important risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking
statements. For a discussion of factors that could cause our actual results
to
differ from forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report,
please see the discussion under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. You should
not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report relate only to events
as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation
to
update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances
occurring after the date of this quarterly report.
GENERAL
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 June 30, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately
$2.3 billion of assets under management.
Our
investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation
from
our investments. We also expect to continue to receive distributions of
recurring fee income and 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.
41
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 will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income
that we distribute to our stockholders.
Our

Leverage
We
use
borrowed funds, known as “leverage,” to make investments and to 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 such that our asset coverage, as defined
in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such borrowing. As of June 30,
2008,
we had $230 million of outstanding borrowings and our asset coverage was 221%.
Our borrowings are made pursuant to a revolving credit facility which permits
maximum borrowings of up to $275 million and has a final maturity on
October 1, 2012.

|
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 any 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 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 and less fund expenses and management fees) is paid to
the
holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated securities or preferred
shares.
43
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 manages
CLO
Funds that invest primarily 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
revolving credit 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 bonus expenses are estimated and accrued as bonuses
are paid annually. Our compensation arrangements with our employees contain
a
significant profit sharing and/or performance based bonus component. Therefore,
as our net revenues increase, our compensations 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s investments had a
decrease in net unrealized appreciation of approximately $465,000 and $8.3
million, respectively. The decrease in net unrealized appreciation for the
three
months ended June 30, 2008 is primarily due to i) an approximate $340,000 net
decrease in the market value of certain broadly syndicated loans as a result
of
current market conditions; ii) an approximate $950,00 decrease in the net value
of CLO equity investments as a result of current market conditions (there are
no
CLO Funds in payment default—all CLO Funds are providing a current cash return
and have maintained their original ratings); and, iii) an approximate $825,000
increase in the value of Katonah Debt Advisors due to an increase in assets
under management to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2008.
The
decrease in net unrealized appreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2008
is primarily due to i) an approximate $9.3 million net decrease in the market
value of certain broadly syndicated loans and equity investments as a result
of
current market conditions; ii) an approximate $3.7 million decrease in the
net
value of CLO equity investments as a result of current market conditions (there
are no CLO Funds in payment default—all CLO Funds are providing a current cash
return and have maintained their original ratings); and, iii) an approximate
$4.7 million increase in the value of Katonah Debt Advisors due to an increase
in assets under management to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2008.
Net
Increase in Stockholders’ Equity Resulting From Operations
The
net
increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $7 and $17 million, respectively,
or $0.36 and $0.94 per share, respectively. The net increase in stockholders’
equity resulting from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007
was approximately $7 and $31 million, respectively, or $0.39 and $1.72 per
share, respectively.
44
Net
Investment Income and Net Realized Gains
Net
investment income and net realized gains represents the net increase in
stockholders’ equity before net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on
investments. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, net investment
income and realized gains was approximately $8 million and $5 million,
respectively, or $0.38 and $0.30 per share, respectively. For the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, net investment income and realized gains was
approximately $16 million and $10 million, respectively, or $0.82 and $0.57
per
share, respectively. Generally, we seek to fund our dividend from net investment
income and net realized gains. For the six months ended June, 2008, dividend
distributions totaled approximately $16 million or $0.82 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.
|
Generally,
we seek to fund our dividend 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 dividends declared by us since our initial public offering,
which represent an amount equal to our estimated net investment company income
for the specified quarter, including undistributed income from Katonah Debt
Advisors, plus a portion of the undistributed amount of 2006 net investment
company income distributed in 2007:

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 six months ended June 30, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors
earned approximately $1.2 million of GAAP net income and distributed $350,000
in
dividends to us and for the year ended December 31, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors
earned approximately $3 million of GAAP net income and distributed $500,000
in
dividends to us; dividends are recorded as declared by Katonah Debt Advisors
as
income on our statement of operations. The Company intends to distribute, in
the
form of a dividend, the accumulated undistributed net income of Katonah Debt
Advisors in the future.
INVESTMENT
PORTFOLIO
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. 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. We invest almost exclusively in credit
instruments issued by corporations and do not invest in asset-backed securities
such as those secured by residential mortgages or other consumer
borrowings.

Investment
Securities
We
invest
in senior secured loans and mezzanine debt and, in the future and to a lesser
extent, equity capital, 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. However, we may invest
in other industries if we are presented with attractive
opportunities.
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. Duff & Phelps, LLC, an independent valuation firm,
provided third party valuation consulting services to Kohlberg Capital’s Board
of Directors which consisted of certain limited procedures that the Company’s
Board of Directors identified and requested them to perform. Kohlberg Capital’s
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
our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been
used had a ready market existed for such investments, and the differences could
be material.
At
June
30, 2008, the Company’s investments in loans and debt securities, excluding CLO
Fund securities, had a weighted average interest rate of approximately
8.0%.
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.
The
investment portfolio (excluding the Company’s investment in asset management
affiliates and CLO Funds) at June 30, 2008 is spread across 26 different
industries and 89 different entities with an average balance of approximately
$4.3 million. As of June 30, 2008, all but two of our portfolio companies were
current on their debt service obligations. The Company’s portfolio, including
the CLO Funds in which it invests, and the CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt
Advisors consist almost exclusively of credit instruments issued by corporations
and do not include investments in asset-backed securities, such as those secured
by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other consumer
borrowings.
We
may
invest up to 30% of our investment portfolio in opportunistic investments in
high-yield bonds, debt and equity securities in CLO Funds, distressed debt
or
equity securities of public companies. 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, which
investments are generally not anticipated to be in excess of 10% of our
investment portfolio at the time such investments are made. At June 30, 2008,
approximately 13% of our investments were foreign assets (including our
investments in CLO Funds, which are typically domiciled outside the U.S. and
represent approximately 11% of our portfolio). As a result of regulatory
restrictions, we are not permitted to invest in any portfolio company in which
Kohlberg & Co. or any fund that it manages has a pre-existing
investment.
46
At
June
30, 2008, our ten largest portfolio companies represented approximately 34%
of
the total fair value of our investments. Our largest investment, Katonah Debt
Advisors which is our wholly-owned portfolio company, represented 13% of the
total fair value of our investments. Excluding Katonah Debt Advisors and CLO
Fund securities, our ten largest portfolio companies represent approximately
17%
of the total fair value of our investments.
CLO
Fund Securities
We
typically make a minority investment in the subordinated securities or preferred
stock 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. As of June 30, 2008, we had $57 million invested in CLO
Fund securities, including those issued by funds managed by Katonah Debt
Advisors. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and in connection with
the
closing of Katonah Debt Advisor’s most recent CLO Fund on January 23, 2008,
we invested approximately $29 million to acquire all of the shares of the most
junior class of securities of the CLO Fund. As of June 30, 2008, all of the
CLO
Funds in which the Company holds investments maintained the original issue
credit ratings on all rated classes of their securities, were distributing

affiliate CLO Fund 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 any investment are generally diversified secured or unsecured corporate
debt. The underlying assets in our CLO Funds 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 table below summarizes certain

Katonah
Debt Advisors
Katonah
Debt Advisors is our wholly-owned asset management company that manages CLO
Funds that invest in broadly syndicated loans, high yield bonds and other credit
instruments. The CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors consist exclusively
of credit instruments issued by corporations and do not invest in asset-backed
securities secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other
consumer borrowings. As of June 30, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors had
approximately $2.3 billion of assets under management, and was valued at
approximately $64 million.
47
As
a
manager of the CLO Funds, Katonah Debt Advisors receives contractual and
recurring management fees as well as a 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 are not subject to market
value fluctuations in the underlying collateral. Katonah Debt Advisors generates
annual operating income equal to the amount by which its fee income exceeds
it
operating expenses. 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.
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 expect to continue to receive distributions of recurring fee income
and to generate capital appreciation from our investment in Katonah Debt
Advisors.
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 us. Cash
distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ net income is recorded as dividends from
affiliate asset manager when declared. As with all other investments, Katonah
Debt Advisors’ fair value is periodically determined. The valuation is based
primarily on a percentage of its assets under management and/or based on Katonah
Debt Advisors’ estimated operating income. Any change in value from period to
period is recognized as unrealized gain or loss.
For
the
six months ended June 30, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors had after-tax net income
of approximately $1.2 million.

In
December 2007, we committed to make an investment in a new distressed investment
platform organized by Steven Panagos and Jonathan Katz and named Panagos and
Katz Situational Investing (“PKSI”). Mr. Panagos was most recently national
practice leader of Kroll Zolfo Cooper’s Corporate Advisory and Restructuring
Practice and Mr. Katz was the founding partner of Special Situations
Investing, a distressed investing vehicle of JP Morgan. We expect that funds
managed by PKSI will invest in the debt and equity securities of companies
that
are restructuring due to financial or operational distress. We also expect
that
PKSI may selectively originate new credit facilities with borrowers that are
otherwise unable to access traditional credit markets. We committed to invest
up
to $2.5 million directly in PKSI through an investment in Class A shares.
We have a 35% economic interest in PKSI through our investment in Class B shares
on which we will receive our pro rata share of its operating income and may
make
an investment of up to $25 million in funds managed by PKSI on which we will
receive investment income. PKSI may also source distressed debt opportunities
in
which we may make direct investments. As of June 30, 2008, we funded
approximately $1.2 million of our $2.5 million total commitment to PKSI which
is
an investment in the Class A shares of PKSI.
Both
Katonah Debt Advisors and PKSI are considered affiliate investments. As of
June
30, 2008, our affiliate asset manager investments at fair value are
approximately $65 million.
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 (loss) and net realized and unrealized gain (loss). Net
investment income (loss) 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 stated 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 three and six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Investment
Income
Investment
income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately
$12
million and $9 million, respectively. Of this amount, approximately $7 million
in each period was attributable to interest income on our loan and bond
investments. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 approximately
$1,000 and $805,000, respectively, of such interest income was attributable
to
interest on assets accumulated for future CLO issuances on which Katonah Debt
Advisors entered into a first loss agreement in connection with loan warehouse
arrangements for Katonah Debt Advisors CLO Funds. Approximately $5 million
and
$2 million, respectively, of investment income is attributable to dividends
earned on CLO equity investments.
Investment
income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $27
million and $15 million, respectively. Of this amount, approximately $17 million
and $11 million, respectively was attributable to interest income on our loan
and bond investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
approximately $470,000 and $875,000, respectively, of such interest income
was
attributable to interest on assets accumulated for future CLO issuances on
which
Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a first loss agreement in connection with
loan warehouse arrangements for Katonah Debt Advisors CLO Funds. Approximately
$8 million and $3 million, respectively, of investment income is attributable
to
dividends earned on CLO equity investments.
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.
Dividends
from Affiliate Asset Manager
As
of
June 30, 2008, our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors was approximately $64
million. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Katonah Debt
Advisors had GAAP net income of approximately $240,000 and $650,000,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Katonah Debt
Advisors had GAAP net income of approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million,
respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 no distributions
of Katonah Debt Advisors’ net income were made. During the six months ended June
30, 2008 distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ net income totaled $350,000; no
such distributions were made during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ net income are recorded as dividends
from affiliate asset manager. The Company intends to distribute the accumulated
undistributed net income of Katonah Debt Advisors in the future. For purposes
of
calculating distributable tax income for required quarterly dividends as a
RIC,
Katonah Debt Advisors’ net income is further reduced by approximately $2 million
per annum for tax goodwill amortization resulting from its acquisition by us
prior to our initial public offering. As a result, 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).
49
Expenses
Total
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately
$4.6 million and $3.3 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 $2.4 million and $1.1 million,
respectively, on average debt outstanding of $235 million and $56 million,
respectively. Approximately $1.5 million and $915,000, respectively, of expenses
were attributable to employment compensation, including salaries, bonuses and
stock option expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For
the
three months ended June 30, 2008, other expenses included approximately $675,000
for professional fees, insurance, administrative and other. For the three months
ended June 30, 2007, expenses included approximately $1.3 million for
professional fees, insurance, administrative and other. For the three months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, administrative and other costs totaled
approximately $305,000 and $320,000, respectively, and include occupancy
expense, insurance, technology and other office expenses.
Total
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately
$10.2
million and $5.0 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 $5.7 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, on average debt outstanding of $245 million and $30 million,
respectively. Approximately $2.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of
expenses were attributable to employment compensation, including salaries,
bonuses and stock option expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, other expenses included
approximately $1.7 million for professional fees, insurance, administrative
and
other, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007, $2.1 million for professional
fees, insurance, administrative and other. For the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, administrative and other costs totaled approximately $650,000
and
$620,000, respectively, and include occupancy expense, insurance, technology
and
other office 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 revolving credit 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.
Net
Unrealized Appreciation on Investments
During
the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, our total investments had a
decrease in net unrealized appreciation of approximately $465,000 and an
increase of $11.5 million, respectively. Of this amount, Katonah Debt Advisors
had unrealized appreciation of approximately $825,000 and $12.3 million,
respectively, offset by unrealized losses of approximately $1.3 million and
$820,000, respectively, on debt securities, equity securities and CLO Fund
securities in our investment portfolio.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, our total investments had a
decrease in net unrealized appreciation of approximately $8.3 million and an
increase of $20.5 million, respectively. Of this amount, Katonah Debt Advisors
had unrealized appreciation of approximately $4.7 million and $21.4 million,
respectively, offset by unrealized losses of approximately $13.0 million and
$845,000, respectively, on debt securities, equity securities and CLO Fund
securities in our investment portfolio.
The
increase in the unrealized value of Katonah Debt Advisors is primarily as a
result of an increase in Katonah Debt Advisors’ assets under management to $2.3
billion as on June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2008,
Katonah Debt Advisors increased its assets under management through the
completion of the formation of Katonah 2007-1 CLO Ltd., which included
approximately $315 million in assets. In addition, as of June 30, 2008, Katonah
Debt Advisors had aggregated assets of approximately $275 million for new funds
it expects to complete during 2008.
Net
Increase in Stockholders’ Equity Resulting From Operations
The
net
increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $7.3 million and $7.5 million,
respectively, or $0.36 and
$0.39
per share.
50
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.
In
addition to the traditional sources of available funds (issuance of new equity,
debt or undrawn warehouse facility capacity), in the future, we may raise
additional cash funds through the securitization of assets on our balance sheet
through our wholly-owned asset manager, Katonah Debt Advisors. Such a
securitization will provide cash for new investments on our balance sheet as
well as additional management fee income and potentially increased value (as
a
result of increased assets under management) for Katonah Debt
Advisors.
As
a BDC,
we are limited in the amount of leverage we can incur to finance our investment
portfolio. 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.
As
of
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the fair value of investments and cash

On
February 14, 2007, we entered into a securitization revolving credit
facility (the “Facility”) under which we had a right to obtain up to $200
million in financing loaned by or through BMO Capital Markets Corp. 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. Advances under the
Facility 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
will
borrow under the Facility through its wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy
remote subsidiary, Kohlberg Capital Funding LLC I.
As
of
June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on the Facility was $230 million with
available additional borrowing capacity of $45 million. As of June 30, 2008,
we
had restricted cash balances of approximately $6 million which we maintained
in
accordance with the terms of our Facility. A portion of these funds,
approximately $3 million, was released to us in July 2008.
We
expect
our cash on hand, borrowings under our current Facility’s undrawn commitments,
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 cash needs at our current level
of operations. Our primary use of funds will be investments in secured lien
loans, mezzanine debt and CLO Fund equity. In order to fund new originations,
we
intend to use cash on hand, advances under our credit Facility and equity
financings. Our credit Facility contains collateral requirements, including,
but
not limited to, minimum diversity, rating and yield, and limitations on loan
size. These limitations may limit our ability to fund certain new originations
with advances under the Facility, in which case we will seek to fund
originations using new debt or equity financings.
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 June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had committed to make a total of
approximately $3 million and $4 million, respectively, of investments in various
revolving senior secured loans, of which approximately $600,000 was funded
as of
June 30, 2008 and $865,000 was funded as of December 31, 2007. As of June
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had committed to make a total of
approximately $875,000 and $8 million, respectively, of investments in a delayed
draw senior secured loans of which $0 was funded as of June 30, 2008 and
approximately $5 million was funded as of December 31,
2007.
51
Katonah
Debt Advisors is currently a party to an agreement with Bear Stearns entered
into 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 has undertaken certain “first loss” commitments, as described in
more detail below. In return for Katonah Debt Advisors’ first loss commitment,
Katonah Debt Advisors is 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 our first loss commitment, we receive
net
interest income from the underlying assets in the loan warehouse.
Katonah
Debt Advisors has 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 “CLO Funds”), and to be managed by
Katonah Debt Advisors (directly or indirectly through a services contract with
an affiliate of Katonah Debt Advisors). The agreement with Bear Stearns survives
the merger of Bear Stearns with JPMorgan Chase in June 2008 and continues to
be
in effect in accordance with its original terms. As part of this engagement,
Katonah Debt Advisors entered into certain credit lines with Bear Stearns to
accumulate and fund into a loan warehouse the initial assets for the CLO Funds.
As mentioned above, Katonah Debt Advisors has undertaken a first loss
commitment, requiring Katonah Debt Advisors to reimburse Bear Stearns for (i)
certain losses (if any) incurred on the assets warehoused for the 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.
Kohlberg Capital 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 and such
assets are no longer subject to a first loss obligation. 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.
As
of
June 30, 2008, Katonah 2008-I and Katonah 2008-II had acquired an aggregate
of
approximately $152 million and $123 million in assets, respectively, determined
on the basis of the par value of such assets. If the portfolio of remaining
warehoused assets for Katonah 2008-I and Katonah 2008-II had been liquidated
in
accordance with the terms of the engagement with Bear Stearns on June 30, 2008,
the loss on such portfolio would have exceeded our maximum first loss
obligation. Katonah Debt Advisors is currently in discussions with Bear Stearns
regarding the timing and structure of the remaining CLO Funds, and its ability
to access the warehouse credit line contemplated by the Bear Stearns commitment
letter.
As
of
June 30, 2008, the Company funded approximately $1.2 million of our $2.5 million
total commitment to PKSI which is an investment in the Class A shares of
PKSI.

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 valuation of
investments and certain revenue recognition matters as discussed
below.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The financial statements reflect all 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 financial statements are based
on
the selection and application of critical accounting policies which may require
management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies are those that are
important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of
operations that require management’s most difficult, complex or subjective
judgments.
52
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 (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 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 and enterprise value of the portfolio company. Because of the
inherent uncertainty of valuation, the Board of Directors’ determined values may
differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready
market existed for the investments, and the differences could be
material.
We
are,
for 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, 2007 we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which among other things,
requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments carried at fair value.
See Note 4 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 methodologies 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 the cash
outflows for interest expense, debt paydown and other fund costs for the CLO
Funds which are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period and
therefore begin to sell assets and/or use principal repayments to pay-down
CLO
Fund debt, and for which there continue to be net cash distributions to the
class of we securities own, or (ii) the net asset value of the CLO Fund for
CLO Funds which are approaching or past the end of their reinvestment period
and
therefore begin to sell assets and/or use principal repayments to pay-down
CLO
Fund debt, and for which there are negligible net cash distributions to the
class of securities we own, 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
bonds or preferred shares to those in which the Company has 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
net asset values 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 Investment.
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 and is based on
multiple approaches to value which involve value drivers such as assets under
management (“AUM”), cash flow, and earnings before income taxes, depreciation
and amortization (“EBITDA”). These value drivers are analyzed in the context of
both quantifiable historical experience and projected performance. AUM or
earnings multiples from peer comparables are then applied to the value drivers
to determine fair value. Our investments in Katonah Debt Advisors and CLO Fund
securities are reviewed quarterly by Duff & Phelps, LLC, an independent
valuation firm, who performs certain limited procedures that the Company’s Board
of Directors identified and requested, and whose conclusion is that the fair
value of those investments subjected to the limited procedures did not appear
to
be unreasonable.
Fair
values of other 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. Such investments may also be valued at cost for
a
period of time after an acquisition as the best indicator of fair value. 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.
53
The
determination of fair value using these methodologies 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. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree
of
management judgment.
After
our
adoption of SFAS 157, investments measured and reported at fair value are
classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
|
•
|
|
Level
I – 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 SFAS
157, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments,
even in situations where we hold 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, and
fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation
methodologies. 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 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 process.
|
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. Our assessment of the significance
of
a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires
judgment, and it considers factors specific to the investment.
Our
Board
of Directors may consider other methods of valuation to determine the fair
value
of investments as appropriate in conformity with GAAP.
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 June 30, 2008, two issuers representing
1%
of our total investments were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2007,
no
loans or debt securities were greater than 90 days past due or 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 and less fund expenses and
management fees) is paid to the holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated
securities or preferred shares. 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
The
Company records dividend income from its affiliate asset manager on the
declaration date.
54
Payment
in Kind Interest
We
may
have loans in our portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“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.
To maintain our RIC status, this non-cash source of income must be paid out
to
stockholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet
collected the cash.
Fee
Income
Fee
income includes fees, if any, for due diligence, structuring, commitment and
facility fees, and fees, 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 Corporation 2006 Equity Incentive Plan as amended (our “Equity Incentive
Plan”) to officers and employees for services rendered to us. We follow
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (revised 2004),
Accounting
for Stock-Based 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) as its
valuation model 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.
55
Dividends
Dividends
and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the declaration 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 fiscal 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 cash dividends automatically
reinvested in additional shares of our common stock.
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 June 30, 2008, approximately 89% 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 June 30, 2008, we had $230 million of borrowings outstanding at a floating
rate tied to prevailing commercial paper rates plus a margin of
0.85%.
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 June 30, 2008 were
to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest
rate
sensitivity, a hypothetical increase or decrease of a 1% change in interest
rates would correspondingly affect net interest income proportionately by
approximately 1% over a one-year period. Correspondingly, a hypothetical
increase or decrease of a 1% change in interest rates would correspondingly
affect net interest expense proportionately by approximately 1% over a one-year
period. Because most of our investments at June 30, 2008 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.
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 June
30, 2008. In connection with the Facility established on February 14, 2007
and
as amended on October 1, 2007, our special purpose subsidiary may be required
under certain circumstances to enter into interest rate swap agreements or
other
interest rate hedging transactions.
56
Portfolio
Valuation
We
carry
our investments at fair value, as determined in good faith by our Board of
Directors pursuant to procedures approved by our Board of Directors. Investments
for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market
quotations. The Board of Directors has retained an independent valuation firm
to
provide third-party valuation consulting services, which consist of certain
limited procedures that we identify and request the independent valuation firm
to perform. During the preceding twelve months ended June 30, 2008,
approximately 55% of our investments were investments that were marked to market
or for which we utilized the valuation services provided by the independent
valuation firm in connection with the determination of fair value by our Board
of Directors. 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 a 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 significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready
market existed for such investments or from the values that would have been
placed on our assets by other market participants, and the differences could
be
material. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that
may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses
ultimately 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.
Our
Board
of Directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair
value
of portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith. Duff &
Phelps, LLC, an independent valuation firm, provided, third party valuation
consulting services to our Board of Directors, which consisted of certain
limited procedures that our Board of Directors identified and requested them
to
perform. For the preceding twelve months ended June 30, 2008, our Board of
Directors asked Duff & Phelps, LLC to perform the limited procedures
on 43 investments comprising approximately 52% of the total investments at
fair value for which market or third party quotations are not readily available.
Upon completion of the limited procedures, Duff & Phelps, LLC concluded
that the fair value of those investments subjected to the limited procedures
did
not appear to be unreasonable. In the future, our Board of Directors may
continue to utilize the services of Duff & Phelps, LLC or may use
another third party valuation provider.
Controls
and Procedures
|
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The
Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of
various members of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and
our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in
Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO
have
concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective
as
of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
. The
Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of
various members of management, including our CEO and our CFO, has evaluated
any
change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Management has concluded
that there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during
the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
