KOHLBERG
CAPITAL CORPORATION
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, L.L.C. (collectively with its affiliates, “Katonah Debt
Advisors”) and in securities issued by collateralized loan obligation funds
(“CLO Funds”) managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and two other asset managers to
the Company. As of June 30, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1
billion of assets under management.
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. Katonah Debt Advisors manages CLO
Funds which invest in broadly syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and other
credit instruments. The Company’s investment portfolio as well as the investment
portfolios of the CLO Funds in which it has invested and the investment
portfolios of the CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors consist exclusively
of credit instruments and other securities issued by corporations and do not
include any asset-backed securities secured by commercial mortgages, residential
mortgages or other consumer borrowings.
The
Company has elected to be treated as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”)
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”). To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain
source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. Pursuant to this
election, the Company generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on
any income that it distributes to its stockholders.
As
discussed in Note 6, the Company is currently using any income generated by the
assets collateralizing its secured credit facility to pay principal, interest
and other expenses of such facility – despite the Company being required, from a
tax perspective, to distribute to the shareholders substantially all of its net
investment income including the net amounts generated by the collateralized
assets. While these collateralized assets make up a significant
portion of the Company’s investments, they do not make up the entire investment
portfolio. Management believes that its unencumbered assets should
provide sufficient liquidity for the Company to meet its ongoing operating and
distribution requirements over the next twelve months.
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).
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, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”).
30
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, and the differences could be material. The
results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full
year.
Certain
reclassifications were made to prior year’s presentation to conform to the
current year. Time deposits and money market accounts, which were
previously classified as cash and cash equivalents, have been reclassified to
short term investments.
The
Company considers events or transactions that occur after the date of the
Balance Sheet but before the financial statements are issued to provide
additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that
require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through
August 10, 2009, the date of issuance of these financial
statements.
Investments
Investment
transactions are recorded on the applicable trade date. Realized gains or losses
are computed using the specific identification method.
Valuation of Portfolio
Investments. Kohlberg Capital’s Board of Directors is ultimately and
solely responsible for making a good faith determination of the fair value of
portfolio investments on a quarterly basis. Debt and equity
securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally
valued at such market quotations. Debt and equity securities that are
not publicly traded or whose market price is not readily available are valued by
the Board of Directors based on detailed analyses prepared by management and
reviewed quarterly by the Valuation Committee of the Board of
Directors. Valuations are conducted on 100% of the investment
portfolio at the end of each fiscal quarter.
The
Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157—Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). In part,
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value,
and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
SFAS 157 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. Subsequent to the adoption of
SFAS 157, the FASB has issued various staff positions clarifying the initial
standard as noted below.
The
Company also follows the provisions of FASB Staff Position No.
FAS 157-3—Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market
for That Asset is Not Active (“ FSP 157-3”) which provides an
illustrative example of how to determine the fair value of a financial asset in
an inactive market and did not change the fair value measurement principles set
forth in SFAS 157. Since adopting SFAS 157 in January 2008, the Company’s
practices for determining the fair value of its investment portfolio have been,
and continue to be, consistent with the guidance provided in the example in FSP
157-3. As a result, the adoption of FSP 157-3 did not affect the Company’s
practices for determining the fair value of its investment portfolio and did not
have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
On April
9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP
157-4”), to provide additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance
with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability
have significantly decreased as well as on identifying circumstances that
indicate that a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 provides additional
guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the
asset or liability have significantly decreased when compared with normal market
activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities). FSP
157-4 further amends SFAS 157 to require the disclosure in interim and annual
periods of the inputs and valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and
a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any,
during the period. FSP No. 157-4 is effective for the Company’s
interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of
FSP 157-4 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
Effective
July 23, 2009, the Board established revised valuation procedures reflecting its
determination that the Company had sufficient internal expertise and access to
market information to carry out the quarterly valuation process in conformity
with GAAP without the involvement of, or additional expense associated with, a
third-party valuation provider, and terminated the engagement of Duff &
Phelps, LLC. The Company expects that this termination will result in cost
savings of approximately $360,000 per year.
31
As part
of the valuation process, the Company may take into account the following types
of factors, as relevant, in the determination of fair value: the
enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any
collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make debt service payments, its
earnings, net cash flows, changes in the interest rate environment and the
credit markets that may generally affect the price at which similar investment
may be made, the markets in which the portfolio company does business,
evaluations to peer comparables, seasoning of the loan and other relevant
factors. If possible, the Company will corroborate its valuation of
an investment with an external event such as a recent purchase transaction,
public offering or sale.
The Board
of Directors may consider other methods of valuation than those set forth above
to determine the fair value of investments as appropriate in conformity with
GAAP. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of
investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of
the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would
have been used had a ready market existed for such investments, and the
differences could be material. Further, such investments may be
generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale and considered less
liquid than publicly traded securities. In addition, changes in the
market environment and other events may occur over the life of the investments
that may cause the ultimately realized gains or losses on such investments to be
different from the currently assigned valuations.
The
Company’s valuation process at the end of each fiscal quarter through and
including the quarter ended June 30, 2009 is described as follows:
|
1)
|
Each
portfolio company or investment is cross-referenced to an independent
pricing service to determine if a current market quote is
available;
|
|
a)
|
The
nature and quality of such quote is reviewed to determine reliability and
relevance of the quote – factors considered include if the quote is from a
transaction, a broker quote, the date and aging of such quote, if the
transaction is arms-length, a liquidation or distressed sale and other
factors.
|
|
2)
|
If

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 market or income valuation approaches
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.
32
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, 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 the considerations of standard measures such as a
percentage of assets under management, an income approach to value using a
discounted cash flow methodology and a multiple of operating income used to
value other asset management companies.
CLO Fund Securities.
The Company typically makes a minority investment in the most junior class of
securities of CLO Funds raised and managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and may
selectively invest in securities issued by funds managed by other asset
management companies (collectively “CLO Investments”). 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.
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 securities or preferred shares to those in which the Company
has invested. The Company recognizes unrealized appreciation or
depreciation on the Company’s investments in CLO Fund securities as comparable
yields in the market change and/or based on changes in 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 its investments
in CLO Fund securities on an individual security-by-security basis.
For bond
rated tranches of CLO Fund securities (those above the junior class), fair value
is based on a discounted cash flow of prospective bond payments at a current
market yield and considers other factors such as the default and recovery rates
of underlying assets in the CLO, as may be applicable.
Cash. The
Company defines cash as demand deposits.
Restricted
Cash. Restricted cash consists mostly of cash held in an operating
account pursuant to the Company’s secured credit facility agreement with its
lender.
Time Deposits and
Money Market Accounts. Time deposits primarily represent
overnight Eurodollar investments of cash held in non-demand deposit
accounts. Such time deposits are partially restricted under terms of
the secured credit facility. The money market account contains restricted cash
held for employee flexible spending accounts.
Interest
Income. Interest income, including 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, 2009, eight 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, which represents the
ex-dividend date.
Dividend Income
from CLO Fund Securities. The Company generates dividend income
from its investments in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds
(typically preferred shares or subordinated securities) managed by Katonah Debt
Advisors and selective investments in securities issued by funds managed by
other asset management companies. The Company’s CLO Fund junior class securities
are subordinated 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.
33
For
non-junior class CLO Fund securities, such as the Company’s investment in the
Class B-2L Notes of the Katonah 2007-1 CLO, interest is earned at a fixed spread
relative to the LIBOR index.
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, 2009, there was an unamortized debt issuance cost of approximately $1
million included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet. Amortization
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately
$412,000 and $211,000, 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 Affiliate share office space and certain other shared
operating expenses. The Company has entered into an Overhead
Allocation Agreement with its Asset Manager Affiliate which provides for the
sharing of such expenses based on an equal sharing of office lease costs and the
ratable usage of other shared resources. The aggregate net payments
of such expenses under the Overhead Allocation Agreement are not
material.
Dividends.
Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the
Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings
estimated by management for the period and fiscal year.
The
Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for
reinvestment of its distributions on behalf of its stockholders, unless a
stockholder “opts out” of the plan to receive cash in lieu of having their cash
dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common
stock.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Standard on Subsequent
Events. On May 28, 2009, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS 165—Subsequent Events (“SFAS
165”). SFAS 165 provides guidance on management’s assessment of subsequent
events and requires additional disclosure about the timing of management’s
assessment of subsequent events. SFAS 165 does not significantly change the
accounting requirements for the reporting of subsequent events. SFAS 165 is
effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15,
2009. The Company adopted SFAS 165 as of June 30, 2009 and the adoption of
this standard did not materially impact the Company’s financial position,
results of operations, changes in net assets or disclosures in the financial
statements.
On April 9, 2009, FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 107-I and APB 28-I - Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, or FSP 107-1, was issued. This FSP requires
disclosures about financial instruments, including fair value, carrying amount,
and method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. The
Company adopted this standard as of June 30, 2009 and the adoption of this
standard did not affect the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
Two-Class Method of Presenting
Earnings Per Share. In June 2008, FASB Staff Position EITF
03-06-1—Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-based Payment
Transactions are Participating Securities (“EITF 03-06-1”) was issued.
This standard requires companies to include unvested share-based payment awards
that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends in the computation of earnings
per share pursuant to the two-class method. EITF 03-06-1 is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company
adopted this standard beginning with its financial statements ended
March 31, 2009 and, as required, applied this standard retroactively to all
reported periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact
on the Company’s calculation of earnings per share.
Codification of Accounting
Standards. In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
FASB Statement No.168—The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“SFAS 168”). When SFAS 168 is effective, the Codification
will supersede all then-existing non-SEC literature and all reporting standards.
It is not expected that SFAS 168 will change existing accounting standards,
but rather changes the way that companies will refer to accounting
standards. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009. As a result, the Company will adopt SFAS
168 for its financial statements covering the period ending September 30,
2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a
material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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
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.
At June
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, approximately 14% and 15%, 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 12% and 11% of its portfolio on such dates).
At June
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s ten largest portfolio companies
represented approximately 34% and 31%, 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 12% and 11% of the total fair
value of the Company’s investments at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively. Excluding Katonah Debt Advisors and CLO Fund securities, the
Company’s ten largest portfolio companies represented approximately 17% and 16%
of the total fair value of the Company’s investments at June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively.
Investment
in CLO Fund Securities
The
Company typically makes a minority investment in the most junior class of
securities of CLO Funds (typically preferred shares or subordinated securities)
managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and may selectively invest in securities issued
by funds managed by other asset management companies. It is the Company’s
intention that its aggregate CLO Investments generally not exceed 15% of the
Company’s total investment portfolio. Preferred shares or subordinated
securities (junior class) issued by CLO Funds are entitled to recurring dividend
distributions which generally equal the net remaining cash flow of the payments
made by the underlying CLO Fund’s securities less contractual payments to senior
bond holders and CLO Fund expenses. CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors
(“CLO fund securities managed by affiliate”) invest primarily in broadly
syndicated non-investment grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit
instruments of corporate issuers. The underlying assets in each of the CLO Funds
in which the Company has an investment are generally diversified secured or
unsecured corporate debt and exclude mortgage pools or mortgage securities
(residential mortgage bonds, commercial mortgage backed securities, or related
asset-backed securities), debt to companies providing mortgage lending and
emerging markets investments. The junior class of 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.
On
January 23, 2008, the Company’s wholly-owned asset management company,
Katonah Debt Advisors, closed a $315 million CLO Fund. The Company received a
structuring fee upon closing and Katonah Debt Advisors earns an ongoing asset
management fee based on the par amount of the underlying investments in the CLO
Fund. Securities issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors are
primarily held by third parties. Kohlberg Capital invested approximately $29
million to acquire all of the shares of the most junior class of securities of
this latest CLO Fund.
The
subordinated securities and preferred share securities are considered equity
positions in the CLO Funds and, as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the
Company had approximately $49 million and $57 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, 2009 was approximately $67 million and
aggregate unrealized depreciation on the CLO Fund securities totaled
approximately $18 million. The cost basis of the Company’s investment in CLO
Fund equity securities as of December 31, 2008, was approximately $66 million
and aggregate unrealized depreciation on the CLO Fund securities totaled
approximately $9 million.
In May,
2009 the Company purchased the class B-2L notes of the Katonah 2007-1 CLO
investment managed by Katonah Debt Advisors (“Katonah 2007-1
BB”). The Company opportunistically purchased the Katonah 2007-1 BB
at a distressed price. The fair value for the Katonah 2007-1 BB is
based on a discounted cash flow of prospective bond payments at a current market
yield and considers other factors such as the default and recovery rates of
underlying assets in the CLO, as may be applicable. The fair value,
cost basis, and unrealized appreciation of the Katonah 2007-1 BB investment as
of June 30, 2009 were approximately $8 million, $1 million, and $7 million,
respectively. Both the BB-rated notes and preferred shares of Katonah
2007-1 are owned 100% by the Company and are making their required quarterly
distributions.

Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company follows the provisions of SFAS 157 which among other matters,
requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported
at fair value. SFAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a hierarchal
disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price
observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market
price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of
investment and the characteristics specific to the
investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices
or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally
will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of
judgment used in measuring fair value. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 157,
the FASB has issued various staff positions clarifying the initial standard (see
Significant Accounting Policies-Investments).
Investments
measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the
following categories.
Level I –
Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical
investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level
I include listed equities and listed securities. As required by SFAS 157, the
Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in
situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably
affect the quoted price.
Level II
– Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are
either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, 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. The Company’s assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety
requires judgment, and the Company considers factors specific to the
investment.
The
following table summarizes the fair value of investments by the above SFAS
No. 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2009:

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 No. 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, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors and
its affiliates had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under
management.
Katonah
Debt Advisors manages CLO Funds primarily for third party investors that invest
in broadly syndicated loans, high yield bonds and other credit instruments
issued by corporations. These CLO Funds do not invest in asset-backed securities
secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other consumer
borrowings. At June 30, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1
billion of assets under management and the Company’s 100% equity interest in
Katonah Debt Advisors was valued at approximately $57 million.
40
As a
manager of the CLO Funds, Katonah Debt Advisors receives contractual and
recurring management fees and may receive a one-time structuring fee from the
CLO Funds for its management and advisory services. The annual fees which
Katonah Debt Advisors receives are generally based on a fixed percentage of
assets under management (at par value and not subject to changes in market
value), and Katonah Debt Advisors generates annual operating income equal to the
amount by which its fee income exceeds it operating expenses. The annual
management fees Katonah Debt Advisors receives have two components - a senior
management fee and a subordinated management fee. At June 30, 2009, Katonah Debt
Advisors continued to receive all senior management fees payable by the CLO
Funds managed by it. However, certain CLO Funds (representing approximately $1.2
billion of the $2.1 billion of Katonah Debt Advisors’ assets under management)
are not paying their subordinated management fee. These subordinated management
fees, totaling approximately $4 million per year, have been restricted from
being paid as a result of the failure by the CLO Funds to satisfy certain
restrictive covenants contained in their indenture agreements due to rating
downgrades. Such subordinated management fees continue to be accrued by
applicable CLO Fund (and on the books of Katonah Debt Advisors), and will be
payable to Katonah Debt Advisors when such CLO Fund becomes compliant with the
applicable covenants or, if earlier, upon the termination of such CLO
Fund. However, there can be no assurance that these fees will become
payable or, if they do become payable, that the applicable CLO Fund will have
sufficient cash to make the payments to Katonah Debt Advisors.
In future
years, Katonah Debt Advisors may receive accrued incentive fees upon the
liquidation of CLO Funds it manages, provided such CLO Funds have achieved a
minimum investment return to holders of their subordinated securities or
preferred shares.
On
January 2, 2008, the Katonah Debt Advisors platform acquired substantially
all of the assets of Scott’s Cove Capital Management LLC (“Scott’s Cove”), an
asset manager focused on an event-driven credit long short investment strategy.
As a result of the acquisition, approximately $60 million of fee paying assets
under management were integrated into 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. As of June 30, 2009, Scott’s Cove
had approximately $121 million of assets under management.
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 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.
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.
41
At June
30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008 a net amount due from affiliates totaled
approximately $1 million and approximately $391,000, respectively.

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

On
February 14, 2007, the Company entered into an arrangement under which the
Company may obtain up to $200 million in financing (the “Facility”). On
October 1, 2007, the Company amended the Facility to increase the Company’s
borrowing capacity from $200 million to $275 million, extend the maturity date
from February 12, 2012 to October 1, 2012 and increase the interest
spread charged on outstanding borrowings by 15 basis points, to 0.85% above the
prevailing commercial paper rate (or prevailing LIBOR if the commercial paper
market is at any time unavailable). Interest is payable
monthly.
42
Advances
under the Facility are used by the Company primarily to make additional
investments. The Facility is secured by loans that it currently owns and the
loans acquired by the Company with the advances under the Facility. The Company
borrows under the Facility through its wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy
remote subsidiary, Kohlberg Capital Funding LLC I (the “Borrower”).
In
connection with the Facility, the Company is party to a Loan Funding and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2007 (as amended, the “LFSA”), by
and among the Borrower, the Company, as the servicer, BMO Capital Markets Corp,
as the agent (the “Agent”), U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking
association, as the trustee (the “Trustee”) and the other lender parties and
other parties thereto. As of June 30, 2009 there were outstanding borrowings of
approximately $234 million under the LFSA. In accordance with the terms of the
LFSA, the financial assets acquired with the proceeds of borrowings under the
LFSA are held in a securities account and are subject to a securities account
control agreement granting the Agent certain rights in respect of such
securities account and the financial assets held therein. As of June 30, 2009
there were financial assets held in the securities account with a market value
of approximately $300 million. Borrowings under the Facility are secured only by
these assets and amounts in respect of such assets on deposit in a concentration
account that is subject to an intercreditor and concentration account
administration agreement, and the Facility lenders do not have recourse to any
other assets of the Company or the investment income associated with any such
other assets. The assets securing the Facility represent approximately 63% of
the total assets of the Company (at fair value) at June 30, 2009 and contributed
approximately 56% of the Company’s investment income for the six months ended
June 30, 2009.
In
September 2008, the Company was notified by the lenders that the banks providing
the underlying funding for the Facility did not intend to renew their liquidity
facility to the lenders unless the Company agreed to certain revised terms for
the Facility. As a result, the lenders proposed new terms to the Company in
order to extend additional fundings under the Facility. The Company viewed such
proposed terms as unfavorable and did not agree to them. Consequently, in
accordance with the terms of the Facility, all principal and interest collected
from the assets securing the Facility are used to amortize the Facility through
a termination date of September 29, 2010 (the “amortization period”). At the end
of the amortization period, the Company may be required to sell or transfer the
remaining assets securing the Facility, potentially at a loss, to repay any
remaining outstanding borrowings, or the Company may enter into a new agreement
with the lenders providing for continued amortization of the Facility borrowings
or into alternative financing arrangements with another lender.
Under the
Facility, the Company must maintain a leverage ratio covenant of at least 1:1
based on the ratio of the Facility outstanding balance to the Company’s most
recently reported GAAP stockholders’ equity balance (determined quarterly in
conjunction with the Company’s financial reporting filings with the SEC) as of
the Facility outstanding balance determination date (such date being the last
day of each month). At
June 30, 2009, the Company satisfied this leverage ratio covenant using the June
30, 2009 Facility balance and the latest filed quarterly stockholders’ equity
balance which, at that time, was as of March 31, 2009. The Company was in
compliance with this covenant at June 30, 2009.
The
weighted average daily debt balance for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 was approximately $237 million and $235 million, respectively. For the
three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest rate on
weighted average outstanding borrowings was approximately 2% and 4%
respectively, which excludes the amortization of deferred financing costs and
facility and program fees on unfunded balances. The Company was in compliance
with all its debt covenants as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the
Company had restricted cash and time deposit balances of approximately $5
million which it maintained in accordance with the terms of the
Facility.
Since the
fourth quarter of 2008, the Company, the Borrower and the Agent have been
engaged in discussions regarding a potential extension of the LFSA in exchange
for an increase in the interest rate payable pursuant to the LFSA. The parties
have not reached agreement on the terms of such an amendment to the LFSA but
discussions are continuing.
On June
9, 2009, notwithstanding the ongoing discussions between the Company, the
Borrower and the Agent, the Company, the Borrower and the Trustee received a
letter from the Agent stating that the Borrower was in breach of its obligations
under the LFSA alleging the failure of the Borrower to properly determine
ratings on certain pledged loans, resulting in multiple incorrect calculations,
as required under the LFSA and the breach of certain covenants relating to the
Borrower. As a result, the Agent has asserted that a Termination Event had
occurred or would occur after the expiration of an applicable grace period, (but
did not at such time, and has not to date, sought to accelerate repayment of
amounts outstanding under the LFSA to cause the sale of the collateral). The
Agent also stated in the letter that as a result of the existence of the
Termination Event it would calculate the interest payable under the LFSA at the
higher rate (equal to the prime rate plus 0.75%) applicable to periods during
which a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing. The Company believes
that the Agent’s claim that breaches have occurred is without merit and
responded to their letter (and in further correspondence with the Agent) denying
any breach of the LFSA (and denying the existence of any Termination Event) and
rejecting as invalid any basis for the Agent’s actions seeking to increase the
interest rate payable under the LFSA. The Company believes it has sufficient
cash and liquid assets which could be sold, potentially at a loss, to generate
cash to fund normal operations and dividend distributions during the
amortization period.
43
On June
25, 2009 the Company and the Borrower received further correspondence from the
Agent maintaining its position under the LFSA but suggesting that the parties
meet to discuss a mutually agreeable resolution to the matter. Since such time,
the Company and the Borrower have participated in telephone conferences with the
Agent for which the goal of the parties has been to finalize the terms of a
mutually agreeable amendment. However, to date, no agreement has been reached on
the terms of any such amendment, and there can be no assurance that such an
agreement will be reached in the future.
In the
case of a default under the LFSA relating to the Facility, the Agent may
exercise its right under the securities account control agreement entered into
in respect of the security interest granted to the Trustee, as agent, pursuant
to the LFSA to take exclusive control of the financial assets in the securities
accounts covered by the securities account control agreement. In such case, the
Trustee will no longer accept instructions from the Company regarding management
of such financial assets under the LFSA and the Trustee will act at the
direction of the Agent in respect of all matters relating to such financial
assets. The securities account control agreement provides that the Agent will
not exercise its right to take exclusive control of the financial assets in the
securities account covered by the securities account control agreement unless
there has occurred a Termination Event (as defined in the LFSA). If the Company
is prevented by the Agent from effecting transactions in the collateral securing
the Facility, the Company may suffer losses (or greater losses than it otherwise
would have suffered) in respect of the collateral, which could have a material
adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
To date, the Agent did not provide the Company or the Borrower with any notice
of such action to exercise such rights of control. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to reach a resolution with the Agent
regarding the alleged breach of its obligations under the LFSA on terms
acceptable to it or at all.
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, 2009, the Company had
approximately $9 million of accumulated undistributed taxable
income.
For the
quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company declared a dividend on June 12, 2009 of
$0.24 per share for a total of approximately $5 million. The record date
was July 9, 2009 and the dividend was distributed on July 29, 2009.

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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had
committed to make a total of approximately $3 million of investments in various
revolving senior secured loans, of which approximately $855,000 had been funded
as of June 30, 2009 and $1 million had been funded as of December 31, 2008. As
of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the company had no investments in
delayed draw senior secured loans.
In
October 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter
Agreement”) with Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. (“Bear Stearns”) in connection with
a warehouse credit line established to fund the initial accumulation of assets
for three CLO funds, pursuant to which agreement Katonah Debt Advisors undertook
certain “first loss” commitments with respect to potential losses on assets
purchased using the warehouse credit line. Such “first loss” commitments relate
to (i) losses (if any) as a result of individual loan investments being
ineligible for purchase by a new CLO Fund (typically due to a payment default on
such loan) when such fund formation is completed or (ii) if a new CLO Fund has
not been completed before the expiration of the related warehouse credit line,
the loss (if any, and net of any accumulated interest income) on the resale of
loans and debt securities funded by such warehouse credit line.
Under the
Letter Agreement, Katonah Debt Advisors also engaged Bear Stearns to structure
and raise three CLO funds to be managed by Katonah Debt Advisors (directly or
indirectly through a services contract with an affiliate of Katonah Debt
Advisors). While one of these funds, the Katonah 2007-1 CLO Fund, in which the
Company invested approximately $29 million to acquire all of the shares of the
most junior class of securities was completed, neither of the other 2008 CLO
Funds were successfully raised.
As a
result, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, both Katonah Debt Advisors and J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc. ("JPMorgan") (f/k/a Bear Stearns & Co. Inc.) asserted
claims against each other and defenses thereto with respect to potential “first
loss” payments. Without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, Katonah Debt
Advisors and JPMorgan agreed to compromise and settle all of the disputes,
issues and claims between them relating to the agreements in exchange for an
agreement to terminate all obligations and liabilities of Katonah Debt Advisors
and of JPMorgan under the existing agreements relating to the 2008 CLO Funds,
payment by Katonah Debt Advisors of an aggregate of $6 million in installments
over a period of one year and the forfeiture by Katonah Debt Advisors of the net
interest income earned through the settlement date on the warehoused assets. In
December 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a settlement and termination
agreement with JPMorgan reflecting the settlement terms described
above.
As a
result of this settlement, Katonah Debt Advisors recognized a $6 million
settlement cost and write-off of previously accrued net interest income on
warehoused assets of approximately $4 million for the year ended December 31,
2008. The Company recognized the impact of this settlement and forfeiture of
warehouse income as a non-cash reduction to the unrealized appreciation of the
value of its investment in Katonah Debt Advisors and contributed additional
equity to Katonah Debt Advisors. Consequently, this settlement is not expected
to have a material impact on Kohlberg Capital's net investment income or
quarterly dividend.

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. For the year ended December 31, 2008,
the Company issued 359,250 shares of restricted stock for which 16,667 shares
were forfeited and 3,000 shares were converted to common stock during the year
due to vesting. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued
301,201 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan. The total
number of shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2009 was 22,077,720 and
21,743,470, respectively, and 21,776,519 and 21,436,936 issued and outstanding,
respectively, as of December 31, 2008.
10.
EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
During
2006, and as amended in 2008, the Company established an equity incentive plan
(the “Plan”) and reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under
the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide officers and prospective
employees of the Company with additional incentives and align the interests of
its employees with those of its shareholders. Options granted under the Plan are
exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value (market closing price) of
the shares on the day the option is granted. Restricted stock granted under the
Plan is granted at a price equal to the fair market value (market closing price)
of the shares on the day such restricted stock is granted.
45
Stock
Options
On
December 11, 2006, concurrent with the completion of the Company’s IPO,
options to purchase a total of 910,000 shares of common stock were granted to
the Company’s executive officers and directors with an exercise price per share
of $15.00 (the public offering price of the common stock). Such options vest
equally over two, three or four years from the date of grant and have a ten-year
exercise period. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company granted
495,000 options to its employees with a weighted average exercise price per
share of $16.63, with a risk-free rate ranging between 4.6% to 5.3%, with
volatility rates ranging between 20.5% to 22.4% and for which 25% of such
options vest on each of the subsequent four grant date anniversaries and have a
ten-year exercise period. During the year ended December 31, 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. During the six
months ended June 30, 2009, 20,000 additional 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 $4.93, with a risk free rate of 4.3% with a volatility rate of
41% and for which 50% of such options vest upon grant date and 50% vest on the
first grant date anniversary.
On June
13, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to allow
employees who agree to cancel options that they hold to receive one share of
restricted stock for every five options so cancelled. The shares of restricted
stock received by employees through any such transaction will vest annually
generally over the remaining vesting schedule as was applicable to the cancelled
options. During the year ended December 31, 2008, employees holding options to
purchase 1,295,000 shares individually entered into agreements to cancel such
options and to receive 259,000 shares of restricted stock. As a result, as of
January 1, 2009, all options granted to employees had been converted to
restricted stock.
As of
January 1, 2009, 20,000 options to non-employee directors remained outstanding.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, no such options were forfeited. As of
June 30, 2009, 40,000 total options were outstanding, 30,000 of which were
exercisable. The options have an estimated remaining contractual life of 9 years
and 5 months.

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, 2009, total stock option expense of approximately
$16,000 was recognized and expensed by the Company. At June 30, 2009, the
Company had approximately $9,000 of compensation cost related to unvested
stock-based awards, the cost for which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of 1.0 year.

Restricted
Stock
On June
13, 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2006 Equity
Incentive Plan, as amended and the board of directors approved the grant of
awards of 100,250 shares of restricted stock to certain executive officers of
the Company. Such awards of restricted stock will vest as to 50% of the shares
on the third anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50% of the shares
on the fourth anniversary of the grant date.
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. Subsequently,
employees holding options to purchase 1,295,000 shares individually entered into
agreements to cancel such options and to receive 259,000 shares of restricted
stock. As of June 30, 2009 none of such shares had vested.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2009, 5,333 shares of restricted stock were vested
and converted to common shares. Information with respect to restricted stock

expense of approximately $464,000 relating to restricted stock grants; of this
amount approximately $323,000 was expensed at the Company and approximately
$141,000 was expensed at Katonah Debt Advisors. 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.
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 six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company made contributions to
the 401K Plan of approximately $17,000 and $21,000, respectively.
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 may
contribute to the Pension Plan 1) up to 8.0% of all compensation up to the
Internal Revenue Service annual maximum and 2) up to 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 six months ended June 30,
2009, the Company made no contributions to the Pension Plan. For the six months
ended June 30, 2008, the Company increased its contributions to the Pension Plan
by approximately $98,000.

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 in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” below and in Part
I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2008. 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, manages 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, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately
$2.1 billion of assets under management.
48
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.
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
common stock is traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol
“KCAP.” The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of our common stock at June 30,
2009 was $11.09. On June 30, 2009, the last reported sale price of a share of
our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market was $6.32.

¹ Our
balance sheet at fair value and resultant NAV are calculated on a basis
consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP"). Our per share presentation of such amounts (other than NAV per
share) is an internally derived non-GAAP performance measure calculated by
dividing the balance sheet amount per line item by outstanding shares. We
believe that the per share amounts for such balance sheet items are helpful in
analyzing our balance sheet both quantitatively and qualitatively in that our
shares may trade based on a percentage of NAV and individual investors may
weight certain balance sheet items differently in performing any analysis of the
Company.
49
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, 2009,
we had $234 million of outstanding borrowings and our asset coverage was
203%.
In
September 2008, we were notified by the lenders that the banks providing the
underlying liquidity for the Facility did not intend to renew their liquidity
facility to the lenders unless we agreed to certain revised terms for the
Facility. As a result, the lenders proposed new terms to us in order to extend
additional fundings under the Facility. We viewed such proposed terms as
unfavorable, did not agree to such new terms, and have opted to forego the
revolving credit feature of the Facility and to amortize existing borrowings
under the Facility. Consequently, in accordance with the terms of the Facility,
all principal and excess interest collected from the assets securing the
Facility are used to amortize the Facility through a termination date of
September 29, 2010 (the “amortization period”). During the amortization period
the interest rate will continue to be 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. On June 9, 2009, we received a
letter from a representative of the lenders stating that we were in breach of
our obligations under the LFSA alleging our failure to properly determine
ratings on certain pledged loans, resulting in multiple incorrect calculations,
as required under the LFSA and the breach of certain covenants relating to us
and asserting that a Termination Event occurred and the interest payable under
the LFSA would be calculated at the higher rate (equal to the prime rate plus
0.75%) with respect to periods during which a Termination Event has occurred and
is continuing. We believe we have sufficient cash and liquid assets which could
be sold, potentially at a loss, to generate cash to fund normal operations and
dividend distributions. At the end of the amortization period, we may be
required to sell or transfer the remaining assets securing the Facility,
potentially at a loss, to repay any remaining outstanding borrowings or we may
enter into a new agreement with the lenders providing for continued amortization
of the Facility borrowings or into alternative financing arrangements with
another lender. See “—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” and
Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” below and Notes to our unaudited financial
statements for the period ended June 30, 2009.
Under the
Facility, we must maintain a leverage ratio covenant of at least 1:1 based on
the ratio of the Facility outstanding balance to our most recently reported GAAP
stockholders’ equity balance (determined quarterly in conjunction with the
Company’s financial reporting filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”)) as of the Facility outstanding balance determination
date at each month-end. At June 30, 2009, we satisfied this leverage
ratio covenant using the June 30, 2009 Facility balance and the latest filed
quarterly stockholders’ equity balance which, at that time, was as of March 31,
2009. We continued to comply with this covenant as of the date of
filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

|
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
securities of CLO Funds (typically preferred shares or subordinated securities)
managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and selective investments in securities issued
by funds managed by other asset management companies. CLO Funds managed by
Katonah Debt Advisors invest primarily in broadly syndicated non-investment
grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments of corporate issuers.
The Company distinguishes CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors as “CLO
fund securities managed by affiliate.” The underlying assets in each of the CLO
Funds in which we have an investment are generally diversified secured or
unsecured corporate debt and exclude mortgage pools or mortgage securities
(residential mortgage bonds, commercial mortgage backed securities, or related
asset-backed securities), debt to companies providing mortgage lending and
emerging markets investments. Our CLO Fund securities that are subordinated
securities or preferred shares (“junior securities”) are subordinated 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 level
of excess spread from CLO Fund securities can be impacted from the timing and
level of the resetting of the benchmark interest rate for the underlying assets
(which reset at various times throughout the quarter) in the CLO Fund and the
related CLO Fund bond liabilities (which reset at each quarterly distribution
date); in periods of short-term and volatile changes in the benchmark interest
rate, the levels of excess spread and distributions to us can vary
significantly. In addition, the failure of CLO Funds in which we invest to
comply with certain financial covenants my lead to the temporary suspension or
deferral of cash distributions to us.
51
For
non-junior class CLO Fund securities, such as our investment in the BB-rated
bond tranche of the Katonah 2007-1 CLO, interest is earned at a fixed spread
relative to the LIBOR index.
Dividends from Affiliate Asset
Manager. We generate dividend income from our investment in Katonah Debt
Advisors, an asset management company, which is a wholly-owned portfolio company
that 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 Facility and the base index rate for the period. Debt issuance
costs represent fees and other direct costs incurred in connection with the
Company’s borrowings. These amounts are capitalized and amortized ratably over
the contractual term of the borrowing.
Compensation Expense.
Compensation expense includes base salaries, bonuses, stock compensation,
employee benefits and employer related payroll costs. The largest components of
total compensation costs are base salaries and bonuses; generally, base salaries
are expensed as incurred and annual bonus expenses are estimated and accrued.
Our compensation arrangements with our employees contain a significant profit
sharing and/or performance based bonus component. Therefore, as our net revenues
increase, our compensation costs may also rise. In addition, our compensation
expenses may also increase to reflect increased investment in personnel as we
grow our products and businesses.
Professional Fees and General and
Administrative Expenses. The balance of our expenses include professional
fees, occupancy costs and general administrative and other costs.
Net
Change in Unrealized Depreciation on Investments
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s investments had a
net change in unrealized depreciation of approximately $6 million and $14
million, respectively. The net change in unrealized depreciation for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily due to (i) an approximate $10 million
net decrease in the market value of certain broadly syndicated loans as a result
of current market conditions; (ii) an approximate $5 million increase in the net
value of CLO Fund securities; and (iii) an approximate $1 million decrease in
the value of Katonah Debt Advisors.
The net
change in unrealized depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is
primarily due to (i) an approximate $12 million net decrease in the market value
of certain broadly syndicated loans as a result of current market conditions;
(ii) an approximate $2 million decrease in the net value of CLO fund securities;
and (iii) an approximate $7,000 increase in the value of Katonah Debt
Advisors.
52
Net
Change in Stockholders’ Equity Resulting From Operations
The net
change in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was a decrease of approximately $3 million and an
increase of $7 million, respectively, or a decrease of $0.15 and an increase of
$0.36 per share, respectively. The net change in stockholders’ equity resulting
from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was a decrease
of approximately $5 million, and an increase of approximately $7 million,
respectively, or a decrease of $0.25 and an increase of $0.39 per share,
respectively.
Net Investment Income and Net
Realized Gains (Losses)
Net
investment income and net realized gains (losses) represents the net change in
stockholders’ equity before net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on
investments. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, net investment
income and realized losses was approximately $3 million and $8 million,
respectively, or $0.15 and $0.38, per share, respectively. For the six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, net investment income and realized losses were
approximately $8 million and $16 million, respectively, or $0.38 and $0.82, per
share, respectively.
In
December 2007, our wholly-owned subsidiary committed to make an investment in a
new distressed debt investment platform organized by Steven Panagos and Jonathan
Katz named PKSIL LLC (“PKSIL”). We committed to invest up to $2.5 million
to fund the operation of PKSIL and to invest in an investment fund to be raised
and managed by PKSIL. Due to unfavorable global financial market conditions in
2008, PKSIL was not able to raise the planned fund. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2009, both Messrs. Panagos and Katz terminated their employment with
PKSIL and PKSIL ceased operations for which we recognized a loss of
approximately $2.2 million.
Dividends
Generally,
we seek to fund our dividend from net investment income and net realized gains.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we declared a $0.24 dividend per share
for each of the first and second quarters of 2009. As a result, there was a
dividend distribution of approximately $5 million for the first quarter
declaration booked in the second quarter and a dividend distribution of
approximately $5 million for the second quarter declaration made in the third
quarter.
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 income for the
specified quarter, including undistributed income from Katonah Debt Advisors,
plus a portion of the undistributed amount of 2006 net investment 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, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had
approximately $1 million of pre-tax net income and made no distributions to us.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors earned
approximately $2 million of pre-tax net income and distributed $350,000 in
dividends to us; dividends are recorded as declared (where declaration date
represents ex-dividend date) by Katonah Debt Advisors as income on our statement
of operations.
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 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, 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.
Effective
July 23, 2009, the Board established revised valuation procedures reflecting its
determination that we had sufficient internal expertise and access to market
information to carry out the quarterly valuation process in conformity with GAAP
without the involvement of, or additional expense associated with, a third-party
valuation provider, and terminated the engagement of Duff & Phelps,
LLC. We expect that this termination will result in cost savings of
approximately $360,000 per year.
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. Kohlberg Capital’s Board of Directors may consider various
methods of valuation 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, 2009, the Company’s investments in loans and debt securities, excluding CLO
Fund securities, had a weighted average interest rate of approximately
6.3%.
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 manager
affiliates and CLO Funds) at June 30, 2009 was spread across 26 different
industries and 85 different entities with an average balance per entity of
approximately $4 million. As of June 30, 2009, all but eight 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, 2009,
approximately 14% of our investments were foreign assets (including our
investments in CLO Funds, which are typically domiciled outside the U.S. and
represent approximately 12% 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.
At June
30, 2009, 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 12% 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, 2009, we had $56 million invested in CLO
Fund securities, including those issued by funds managed by Katonah Debt
Advisors. Our CLO Fund subordinated securities and preferred share investments
as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

¹ All data from most recent Trustee
reports as of June 30, 2009.
In May,
2009 we purchased the class B-2L notes of the Katonah 2007-1 CLO investment
managed by Katonah Debt Advisors (“Katonah 2007-1 BB”). We opportunistically
purchased the Katonah 2007-1 BB at a distressed price. The fair value for the
Katonah 2007-1 BB is based on a discounted cash flow of prospective bond
payments at a current market yield and considers other factors such as the
default and recovery rates of underlying assets in the CLO, as may be
applicable. Both the BB-rated notes and preferred shares of Katonah 2007-1 are
owned 100% by us and are making their required quarterly
distributions.
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, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors had
approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management, and was valued at
approximately $57 million.
56
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 its operating expenses.
The
annual management fees which Katonah Debt Advisors receives are generally based
on a fixed percentage of the par value of assets under management and are
recurring in nature for the term of the CLO Fund so long as Katonah Debt
Advisors manages the fund. As a result, the annual management fees earned by
Katonah Debt Advisors are not subject to market value fluctuations in the
underlying collateral. The annual management fees Katonah Debt Advisors receives
have two components - a senior management fee and a subordinated management fee.
At June 30, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors continued to receive all senior
management fees payable by the CLO Funds managed by it. However, certain CLO
Funds (representing approximately $1.2 billion of the $2.1 billion of Katonah
Debt Advisors’ assets under management), are not paying their subordinated
management fee. These subordinated management fees, totaling approximately $4
million per year, have been restricted from being paid as a result of the
failure by the CLO Funds to satisfy certain restrictive covenants contained in
their indenture agreements due to rating downgrades. Such subordinated
management fees continue to be accrued by the applicable CLO Fund (and on the
books of Katonah Debt Advisors), and will be payable to Katonah Debt Advisors
when such CLO Fund becomes compliant with the applicable covenants or, if
earlier, upon the termination of such CLO Fund. However, there can be no
assurance that these fees will become payable or, if they do become payable,
that the applicable CLO Fund will have sufficient cash to make the payments to
Katonah Debt Advisors.
In future
years, Katonah Debt Advisors may receive accrued incentive fees upon the
liquidation of CLO Funds it manages, provided such CLO Funds have achieved a
minimum investment return to holders of their subordinated securities or
preferred shares.
We expect
to continue to make investments in CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors,
which we believe will provide us with a current cash investment return. We
believe that these investments will provide Katonah Debt Advisors with greater
opportunities to access new sources of capital which will ultimately increase
Katonah Debt Advisors’ assets under management and resulting management fee
income. We also expect to receive distributions of recurring fee income and, if
debt markets stabilize and recover, to generate capital appreciation from our
investment in the asset management business of Katonah Debt
Advisors.
The
revenue that Katonah Debt Advisors generates through the fees it receives for
managing CLO Funds and after paying the expenses associated with its operations,
including compensation of its employees, may be distributed to Kohlberg Capital.
Cash distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ net income are recorded as
dividends from 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 net change in unrealized
appreciation or depreciation.

We
committed to invest up to $2.5 million to fund the operation of PKSIL LLC
(“PKSIL”) whose strategy was to form an investment fund to invest in the debt
and equity securities of companies that are restructuring due to financial or
operational distress and to selectively originate new credit facilities with
borrowers that are otherwise unable to access traditional credit markets. During
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, both Messrs. Panagos and Katz terminated their
employment with PKSIL and PKSIL ceased operations. In connection therewith, we
recognized a loss of approximately $2.2 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 (decrease) in
stockholders’ equity resulting from operations which includes net
investment income (loss) and net realized and unrealized appreciation
(depreciation). 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 change in 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, 2009 and 2008.
Investment
Income
Investment
income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $10
million and $12 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $7
million was attributable to interest income on our loan and bond investments in
each period. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $2
million and $5 million, respectively, of investment income is attributable to
dividends earned on CLO equity investments.
Investment
income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $20
million and $27 million, respectively. Of this amount, approximately $14 million
and $17 million, respectively, was attributable to interest income on our loan
and bond investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
approximately $5 million and $8 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. The level of excess
spread from CLO Fund securities can be impacted from the timing and level of the
resetting of the benchmark interest rate for the underlying assets (which reset
at various times throughout the quarter) in the CLO Fund and the related CLO
Fund bond liabilities (which reset at each quarterly distribution date); in
periods of short-term and volatile changes in the benchmark interest rate, the
levels of excess spread and distributions to us can vary
significantly.
58
Dividends
from Affiliate Asset Manager
As of
June 30, 2009, our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors was approximately $57
million. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Katonah Debt
Advisors had pre-tax net income of approximately $880,000 and $533,000,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Katonah Debt
Advisors had pre-tax net income of approximately $1 million and $2 million,
respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, Katonah Debt
Advisors made no distributions of net income. For the six months ended June 30,
2008, Katonah Debt Advisors distributed $350,000 of net income. Katonah Debt
Advisors made no distributions of net income for the three months ended June 30,
2008.
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).
Expenses
Total
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $3
million and $5 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 million in both periods, on average
debt outstanding of $237 million and $235 million, respectively. Approximately
$866,000 and $2 million, respectively, of expenses were attributable to
employment compensation, including salaries, bonuses and stock option expense
for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. For the three months ended
June 30, 2009, other expenses included approximately $658,000 for professional
fees, insurance, administrative and other. For the three months ended June 30,
2008, expenses included approximately $674,000 for professional fees, insurance,
administrative and other. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
administrative and other costs totaled approximately $268,000 and $306,000,
respectively, and include occupancy expense, insurance, technology and other
office expenses.
Total
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $6
million and $10 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 $3 million and $6 million, on average
debt outstanding of $246 million and $245 million, respectively. Approximately
$2 million and $3 million, respectively, of expenses were attributable to
employment compensation, including salaries, bonuses and stock option expense
for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. For the six months ended June
30, 2009, other expenses included approximately $1 million for professional
fees, insurance, administrative and other. For the six months ended June 30,
2008, expenses included approximately $2 million for professional fees,
insurance, administrative and other. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, administrative and other costs totaled approximately $530,000 and
$651,000, 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 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, 2009 and 2008, our total investments had a
change in net unrealized depreciation of approximately $6 million and $466,000,
respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, Katonah Debt Advisors
had unrealized depreciation of approximately $1 million and our middle market
portfolio of debt securities, equity securities and CLO Fund securities had
unrealized depreciation of approximately $5 million. For the three months ended
June 30, 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors had unrealized appreciation of $824,000
offset by unrealized depreciation of approximately $1 million on debt
securities, equity securities and CLO Fund securities in our investment
portfolio.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, our total investments had a change
in net unrealized depreciation of approximately $14 million and $8 million,
respectively. Of this amount, Katonah Debt Advisors had unrealized appreciation
of approximately $7,000 and $5 million, respectively, offset by unrealized
losses of approximately $14 million and $13 million, respectively, on debt
securities, equity securities and CLO Fund securities in our investment
portfolio.
59
Net
Increase (Decrease) in Stockholders’ Equity Resulting From
Operations
The net decrease in stockholders’
equity resulting from operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2009 was approximately $3 million and $5 million, respectively, or $0.15 and
$0.25, respectively, per share. The net increase in stockholders’
equity resulting from operations for both the three and six months ended June
30, 2008 was approximately $7 million, or $0.36 and $0.39, respectively, per
share.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including
ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain investments, pay
dividends to our stockholders and other general business needs. We recognize the
need to have funds available for operating our business and to make investments.
We seek to have adequate liquidity at all times to cover normal cyclical swings
in funding availability and to allow us to meet abnormal and unexpected funding
requirements. We plan to satisfy our liquidity needs through normal operations
with the goal of avoiding unplanned sales of assets or emergency borrowing of
funds.
In
addition to the traditional sources of available funds (issuance of new equity,
debt or undrawn warehouse facility capacity), we also have the ability to 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 would 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. No new
securitizations by Katonah Debt Advisors have closed since January
2008.
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.

On
February 14, 2007, we entered into an arrangement under which we may obtain
up to $200 million in financing (the “Facility”). On October 1, 2007, we
amended the Facility to increase our borrowing capacity from $200 million to
$275 million, extend the maturity date from February 12, 2012 to
October 1, 2012 and increase the interest spread charged on outstanding
borrowings by 15 basis points, to 0.85%. The interest rate is based on
prevailing commercial paper rates plus 0.85% or, if the commercial paper market
is at any time unavailable, prevailing LIBOR rates plus an applicable spread.
Interest is payable monthly.
60
Advances
under the Facility are used by us primarily to make additional investments. The
Facility is secured by loans that it currently owns and the loans acquired by us
with the advances under the Facility. We borrow under the Facility through our
wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, Kohlberg Capital
Funding LLC I.
In
connection with the Facility, we are party to a Loan Funding and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2007 (as amended, the “LFSA”), by and among
us as the borrower and the servicer, BMO Capital Markets Corp, as the agent (the
“Agent”), U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as the
trustee (the “Trustee”) and the other lender parties and other parties thereto.
As of June 30, 2009 there were outstanding borrowings of approximately $234
million under the LFSA. In accordance with the terms of the LFSA, the financial
assets acquired with the proceeds of borrowings under the LFSA are held in a
securities account and are subject to a securities account control agreement
granting the Agent certain rights in respect of such securities account and the
financial assets held therein. As of June 30, 2009 there were financial assets
held in the securities account with a market value of approximately $300
million. Borrowings under the Facility are secured only by these assets and
amounts in respect of such assets on deposit in a concentration account that is
subject to an intercreditor and concentration account administration agreement,
and the Facility lenders do not have recourse to any other of our assets or the
investment income associated with any such other assets. The assets securing the
Facility represent approximately 63% of our total assets (at fair value) at June
30, 2009 and contributed approximately 56% of our investment income for the six
months ended June 30, 2009.
In
September 2008, we were notified by the lenders that the banks providing the
underlying funding for the Facility did not intend to renew their liquidity
facility to the lenders unless we agreed to certain revised terms for the
Facility. As a result, the lenders proposed new terms to us in order to extend
additional fundings under the Facility. We viewed such proposed terms as
unfavorable and did not agree to them. Consequently, in accordance with the
terms of the Facility, all principal and interest collected from the assets
securing the Facility are used to amortize the Facility through a termination
date of September 29, 2010 (the “amortization period”). At the end of the
amortization period, we may be required to sell or transfer the remaining assets
securing the Facility, potentially at a loss, to repay any remaining outstanding
borrowings, or we may enter into a new agreement with the lenders providing for
continued amortization of the Facility borrowings or into alternative financing
arrangements with another lender.
Under the
Facility, we must maintain a leverage ratio covenant of at least 1:1 based on
the ratio of the Facility outstanding balance to our most recently reported GAAP
stockholders’ equity balance (determined quarterly in conjunction with our
financial reporting filings with the SEC) as of the Facility outstanding balance
determination date (such date being the last day of each month). At June 30, 2009, we
satisfied this leverage ratio covenant using the June 30, 2009 Facility balance
and the latest filed quarterly stockholders’ equity balance which, at that time,
was as of March 31, 2009. We were in compliance with this covenant at June 30,
2009.
The
weighted average daily debt balance for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 was approximately $237 million and $235 million, respectively. For the
three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest rate on
weighted average outstanding borrowings was approximately 2% and 4%
respectively, which excludes the amortization of deferred financing costs and
facility and program fees on unfunded balances. We were in compliance with all
our debt covenants as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, we had restricted
cash balances of approximately $1 million which we maintained in accordance with
the terms of the Facility.
Since the
fourth quarter of 2008, we and the Agent have been engaged in discussions
regarding a potential extension of the LFSA in exchange for an increase in the
interest rate payable pursuant to the LFSA. The parties have not reached
agreement on the terms of such an amendment to the LFSA but discussions are
continuing.
On June
9, 2009, notwithstanding the ongoing discussions between the Agent and us, we
and the Trustee received a letter from the Agent stating that we were in breach
of our obligations under the LFSA alleging our failure to properly determine
ratings on certain pledged loans, resulting in multiple incorrect calculations,
as required under the LFSA and the breach of certain covenants relating to us.
As a result, the Agent has asserted that a Termination Event had occurred or
would occur after the expiration of an applicable grace period, (but did not at
such time, and has not to date, sought to accelerate repayment of amounts
outstanding under the LFSA to cause the sale of the collateral). The Agent also
stated in the letter that as a result of the existence of the Termination Event
it would calculate the interest payable under the LFSA at the higher rate (equal
to the prime rate plus 0.75%) applicable to periods during which a Termination
Event has occurred and is continuing. We believe that the Agent’s claim that
breaches have occurred is without merit and responded to their letter (and in
further correspondence with the Agent) denying any breach of the LFSA (and
denying the existence of any Termination Event) and rejecting as invalid any
basis for the Agent’s actions seeking to increase the interest rate payable
under the LFSA. We believe that we have sufficient cash and liquid assets which
could be sold, potentially at a loss, to generate cash to fund normal operations
and dividend distributions during the amortization period.
61
On June
25, 2009 we received further correspondence from the Agent maintaining its
position under the LFSA but suggesting that the parties meet to discuss a
mutually agreeable resolution to the matter. Since such time, we have
participated in telephone conferences with the Agent for which the goal of the
parties has been to finalize the terms of a mutually agreeable amendment.
However, to date, no agreement has been reached on the terms of any such
amendment, and there can be no assurance that such an agreement will be reached
in the future.
In the
case of a default under the LFSA relating to our Facility, the Agent may
exercise its right under the securities account control agreement entered into
in respect of the security interest granted to the Trustee, as agent, pursuant
to the LFSA to take exclusive control of the financial assets in the securities
accounts covered by the securities account control agreement. In such case, the
Trustee will no longer accept instructions from us regarding management of such
financial assets under the LFSA and the Trustee will act at the direction of the
Agent in respect of all matters relating to such financial assets. The
securities account control agreement provides that the Agent will not exercise
its right to take exclusive control of the financial assets in the securities
account covered by the securities account control agreement unless there has
occurred a Termination Event (as defined in the LFSA). If we are prevented by
the Agent from effecting transactions in the collateral securing the Facility,
we may suffer losses (or greater losses than we otherwise would have suffered)
in respect of the collateral, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. To date, the Agent did
not provide us with any notice of such action to exercise such rights of
control. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to reach a
resolution with the Agent regarding the alleged breach of our obligations under
the LFSA on terms acceptable to us or at all. See Part II, “Item 1A. Risk
Factors” below for further discussion of certain risks relating to our Facility
and the LFSA.
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 our 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 both June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, we had committed to make a total of approximately $3 million
of investments in various revolving senior secured loans, of which approximately
$855,000 had been funded as of June 30, 2009 and $1 million had been funded as
of December 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had no
investments in delayed draw senior secured loans.
In
October 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter
Agreement”) with Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. (“Bear Stearns”) in connection with
a warehouse credit line established to fund the initial accumulation of assets
for three CLO funds, pursuant to which agreement Katonah Debt Advisors undertook
certain “first loss” commitments with respect to potential losses on assets
purchased using the warehouse credit line. Such “first loss” commitments relate
to (i) losses (if any) as a result of individual loan investments being
ineligible for purchase by a new CLO Fund (typically due to a payment default on
such loan) when such fund formation is completed or (ii) if a new CLO Fund has
not been completed before the expiration of the related warehouse credit line,
the loss (if any, and net of any accumulated interest income) on the resale of
loans and debt securities funded by such warehouse credit line.
Under the
Letter Agreement, Katonah Debt Advisors also engaged Bear Stearns to structure
and raise three CLO funds to be managed by Katonah Debt Advisors (directly or
indirectly through a services contract with an affiliate of Katonah Debt
Advisors). While one of these funds, the Katonah 2007-1 CLO Fund, in which
Kohlberg Capital invested approximately $29 million to acquire all of the shares
of the most junior class of securities, was completed, neither of the other 2008
CLO Funds were successfully raised.
As a
result, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, both Katonah Debt Advisors and J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc. ("JPMorgan") (f/k/a Bear Stearns & Co. Inc.) asserted
claims against each other and defenses thereto with respect to potential “first
loss” payments. Without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, Katonah Debt
Advisors and JPMorgan agreed to compromise and settle all of the disputes,
issues and claims between them relating to the agreements in exchange for an
agreement to terminate all obligations and liabilities of Katonah Debt Advisors
and of JPMorgan under the existing agreements relating to the 2008 CLO Funds,
payment by Katonah Debt Advisors of an aggregate of $6 million in installments
over a period of one year and the forfeiture by Katonah Debt Advisors of the net
interest income earned through the settlement date on the warehoused assets. In
December 2008, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a settlement and termination
agreement with JPMorgan reflecting the settlement terms described
above.
62
As a
result of this settlement, Katonah Debt Advisors recognized a $6 million
settlement cost and write-off of previously accrued net interest income on
warehoused assets of approximately $4 million for the year ended December 31,
2008. We recognized the impact of this settlement and forfeiture of warehouse
income as a non-cash reduction to the unrealized appreciation of our value of
its investment in Katonah Debt Advisors and contributed additional equity to
Katonah Debt Advisors. Consequently, this settlement is not expected to have a
material impact on Kohlberg Capital's net investment income or quarterly
dividend.

DEVELOPMENTS

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.
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, 2008 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.
63
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 NAV 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 securities 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
NAVs or estimated cash flows resulting from changes in prepayment or loss
assumptions in the underlying collateral pool. As each investment in CLO Fund
securities ages, the expected amount of losses and the expected timing of
recognition of such losses in the underlying collateral pool are updated and the
revised cash flows are used in determining the fair value of the CLO 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.
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.
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 – Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical
investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in
Level I include listed equities and listed securities. As required by 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.
64
Effective
July 23, 2009, the Board established revised valuation procedures reflecting its
determination that we had sufficient internal expertise and access to market
information to carry out the quarterly valuation process in conformity with GAAP
without the involvement of, or additional expense associated with, a third-party
valuation provider, and terminated the engagement of Duff & Phelps,
LLC. We expect that this termination will result in cost savings of
approximately $360,000 per year.
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, 2009, eight issuers representing 1%
of our total investments were on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2008,
two issuers representing 0.2% of our total investments were on non-accrual
status.
Dividend Income from CLO Fund
Securities
We
generate dividend income from our investments in the most junior class of
securities of CLO Funds (typically preferred shares or subordinated securities)
managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and selective investments in securities issued
by funds managed by other asset management companies. Our CLO Fund securities
are subordinated 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 level of excess spread from CLO Fund
securities can be impacted from the timing and level of the resetting of the
benchmark interest rate for the underlying assets (which reset at various times
throughout the quarter) in the CLO Fund and the related CLO Fund bond
liabilities (which reset at each quarterly distribution date); in periods of
short-term and volatile changes in the benchmark interest rate, the levels of
excess spread and distributions to us can vary significantly. In addition, the
failure of CLO Funds in which we invest to comply with certain financial
covenants may lead to the temporary suspension or deferral of cash distributions
to us. 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.
For
non-junior class CLO Fund securities, such as the Company’s investment in the
BB-rated bond tranche of the Katonah 2007-1 CLO, interest is earned at a fixed
spread relative to the LIBOR index.
Dividends
from Affiliate Asset Manager
The
Company records dividend income from its affiliate asset manager on the
declaration date, which represents the ex-dividend date.
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.
65
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.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Standard on Subsequent Events.
On May 28, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS 165—Subsequent
Events (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 provides guidance on management’s
assessment of subsequent events and requires additional disclosure about the
timing of management’s assessment of subsequent events. SFAS 165 does not
significantly change the accounting requirements for the reporting of subsequent
events. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending
after June 15, 2009. We adopted SFAS 165 as of June 30, 2009 and the
adoption of this standard did not affect our financial position or results of
operations.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
On
October 10, 2008, FASB
Staff Position No. FAS 157-3—Determining the Fair Value of a Financial
Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active (“ FSP 157-3”) was
issued. FSP 157-3 provides an illustrative example of how to determine the fair
value of a financial asset in an inactive market and did not change the fair
value measurement principles set forth in SFAS 157. Since adopting SFAS 157 in
January 2008, our practices for determining the fair value of its investment
portfolio have been, and continue to be, consistent with the guidance provided
in the example in FSP 157-3. As a result, our adoption of FSP 157-3 did not
affect our practices for determining the fair value of our investment portfolio
and did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of
operations.
On April
9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP
157-4”), to provide additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance
with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability
have significantly decreased as well as on identifying circumstances that
indicate that a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 provides additional
guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the
asset or liability have significantly decreased when compared with normal market
activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities). FSP
157-4 further amends SFAS 157 to require the disclosure in interim and annual
periods of the inputs and valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and
a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any,
during the period. FSP No. 157-4 is effective for the interim and
annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP 157-4
did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of
operations.
On
April 9, 2009, FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1—Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, or FSP 107-1, was issued. This FSP requires
disclosures about financial instruments, including fair value, carrying amount,
and method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. We
adopted this standard as of June 30, 2009 and the adoption of this standard
did not affect our financial position or results of operations.
Two-Class Method of Presenting
Earnings Per Share. In June 2008, FASB Staff Position EITF
03-06-1—Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-based Payment
Transactions are Participating Securities (“EITF 03-06-1”) was issued.
This standard requires companies to include unvested share-based payment awards
that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends in the computation of earnings
per share pursuant to the two-class method. EITF 03-06-1 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008, and interim periods within those years. We adopted this standard beginning
with our financial statements ended March 31, 2009 and, as required,
applied this standard retroactively to all reported periods. The adoption of
this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or
results of operations.
CODIFICATION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.168—The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“SFAS 168”). When SFAS 168 is effective, the Codification will supersede
all then-existing non-SEC literature and all reporting standards. It s not
expected that SFAS 168 will change existing accounting standards, but
rather changes the way that companies will refer to accounting standards. SFAS
168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. As a result, we will adopt SFAS 168 for its financial statements covering
the period ending September 30, 2009. We not expect that the adoption of
this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
66
Dividends
Dividends
and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board of Directors
each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management
for the period and 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.
Item 3. 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, 2009, 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, 2009, we had $234 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, 2009 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 $1.5 million 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
$1.5 million over a one-year period. Because most of our investments at June 30,
2009 were floating rate with a spread to an index similar to our 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. In addition, we are currently required to pay interest on our
borrowings under the Facility at the higher default rate equal to the prime rate
plus 0.75% due to the alleged breach of our obligations under the Facility
asserted by the Agent, which we believe to be without merit.
We did
not hold any derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes as of June
30, 2009. 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.
67
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. 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.
Item 4 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, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
68
PART II.
Other Information
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings
Neither we, nor any of our
subsidiaries, are currently a party to any material legal proceedings, other
than routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business. Such proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse
effect on the business, financial conditions, or results of our
operations.
Item 1A. Risk
Factors
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 contains important risk factors
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical
experience or our present expectations and projections. If any of such risks (or
other risks we face) occur, our business, financial condition and results of our
operations could be materially adversely affected. In such a case, the NAV and
the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or
part of your investment. Except as set forth below, there have been no material
changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk
Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2008. The disclosure below should be read together with the other risk
factors and information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008 and our other reports filed with the SEC.
The
agreements governing our Facility and the related funding and servicing
agreement contain various covenants that limit our discretion in operating our
business and also include certain financial covenants.
We
have entered into a credit facility that is backed by a revolving pool of loans.
Under the Facility, we are subject to limitations as to how borrowed funds may
be used, including restrictions on geographic and industry concentrations, loan
size, payment frequency and status, average life, collateral interests and
investment ratings, as well as regulatory restrictions on leverage which may
affect the amount of funding that may be obtained. There are also certain
requirements relating to portfolio performance, including required minimum
portfolio yield, limitations on delinquencies and charge-offs and a maximum
leverage ratio, a violation of any of which could result in the early
amortization of the Facility, limit further advances and, in some cases, result
in an event of default. An event of default under the Facility would result,
among other things, in the termination of the availability of further funds
under the Facility and an accelerated maturity date for all amounts outstanding
under the Facility, which would likely disrupt our business and, potentially,
the portfolio companies whose loans we financed through the Facility. This could
reduce our revenues and, by delaying any cash payment allowed to us under the
Facility until the lender has been paid in full, reduce our liquidity and cash
flow and impair our ability to grow our business and maintain our qualification
as a RIC. If we default under certain provisions of the Facility, the remedies
available to the lender may limit our ability to declare
dividends.
In
connection with the Facility, we are party to a Loan Funding and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2007 (as amended, the “LFSA”), by and among
us, BMO Capital Markets Corp, as the agent (the “Agent”), U.S. Bank National
Association, a national banking association, as the trustee (the “Trustee”) and
the other lender parties and other parties thereto. As of June 30, 2009, there
were outstanding borrowings of approximately $234 million under the LFSA. In
accordance with the terms of the LFSA, the financial assets acquired with the
proceeds of borrowings under the LFSA are held in a securities account and are
subject to a securities account control agreement granting the Agent certain
rights in respect of such securities account and the financial assets held
therein. As of June 30, 2009 there were financial assets held in the securities
account with a market value of approximately $300 million.
In
September 2008, we were notified by the lenders that the banks providing the
underlying funding for the Facility did not intend to renew their liquidity
facility to the lenders unless we agreed to certain revised terms for the
Facility. As a result, the lenders proposed new terms to us in order to extend
additional fundings under the Facility. We viewed such proposed terms as
unfavorable, did not accept them, and have opted to forego the revolving credit
feature of the Facility and to amortize existing borrowings under the Facility.
Consequently, in accordance with the terms of the Facility, all principal and
interest collected from the assets securing the Facility are used to amortize
the Facility through a termination date of September 29, 2010 (the “amortization
period”). During the amortization period, the interest rate will continue to be
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. Currently, we paying, under protest, interest on our
borrowings under the Facility at the higher, default rate equal to the prime
rate plus 0.75% due to the alleged default described under “—If we are not able
to amend, refinance or renew our debt on terms acceptable to us, our operations
could be adversely affected” below.
69
Because
we are using net interest income earned on the assets securing the Facility to
amortize the Facility during the amortization period, we may need to sell other
assets not pledged to the Facility, potentially at a loss, in order to generate
sufficient cash to make the required dividend distributions necessary to
maintain our RIC status. In addition, at the end of the amortization period, we
may be required to sell or transfer the remaining assets securing the Facility,
potentially at a loss, to repay any remaining outstanding borrowings. Any such
asset sale could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
If
we are not able to amend, refinance or renew our debt on terms acceptable to us,
our operations could be adversely affected.
Since the
fourth quarter of 2008, we have been engaged in discussions with the Agent under
the LFSA regarding a potential extension of the LFSA in exchange for an increase
in the interest rate payable pursuant to the LFSA. To date, no agreement has
been reached on the terms of such an amendment to the LFSA.
On June
9, 2009, we and the Trustee received a letter from the Agent stating that we
were in breach of our obligations under the LFSA alleging our failure to
properly determine ratings on certain pledged loans, resulting in multiple
incorrect calculations, as required under the LFSA and the breach of certain
covenants relating to us. As a result, the Agent has asserted that a Termination
Event had occurred or would occur after the expiration of an applicable grace
period, but did not at such time, and has not to date, sought to accelerate
repayment of amounts outstanding under the LFSA or to cause the sale of
collateral. The Agent also stated in the letter that as a result of the existing
Termination Event it would calculate the interest payable under the LFSA at the
higher rate (equal to the prime rate plus 0.75%) applicable to periods during
which a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing. While the Company
believes that the Agent’s claim that breaches have occurred is without merit and
responded to its letter (and in further correspondence with the Agent) denying
any breach of the LFSA (and denying the existence of any Termination Event) and
rejecting as invalid any basis for the Agent’s actions seeking to increase the
interest rate payable under the LFSA, if we are required to pay this higher rate
of interest for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on
our business, liquidity and financial condition. In addition, if the Agent seeks
to accelerate the outstanding indebtedness under the LFSA, this would have a
material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and results of
operations, as well as our ability to make additional investments.
Following
a default under the funding and servicing agreement relating to our Facility, we
may not have the ability to manage the assets securing the Facility, which may
adversely impact our liquidity and operations.
In the
case of a default under the LFSA relating to our Facility, the Agent may
exercise its right under the securities account control agreement entered into
in respect of the security interest granted to the Trustee, as agent, pursuant
to the LFSA to take exclusive control of the financial assets in the securities
accounts covered by the securities account control agreement. In such case, the
Trustee will no longer accept instructions from us regarding management of such
financial assets under the LFSA and the Trustee will act at the direction of the
Agent in respect of all matters relating to such financial assets. The
securities account control agreement provides that the Agent will not exercise
its right to take exclusive control of the financial assets in the securities
account covered by the securities account control agreement unless there has
occurred a Termination Event (as defined in the LFSA). If we are prevented by
the Agent from effecting transactions in the collateral securing the Facility,
we may suffer losses (or greater losses than we otherwise would have suffered)
in respect of the collateral, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. To date, the Agent did
not provide the Company or the Borrower with any notice of such action to
exercise such rights of control. However, there can be no assurance that we will
be able to reach a resolution with the Agent regarding the alleged breach of our
obligations under the LFSA on terms acceptable to us or at all.
If
market constraints further prevent us from obtaining additional debt or equity
capital, our liquidity could be adversely affected, our business prospects could
be negatively impacted, we could lose key employees and our operating results
could be negatively affected.
The
current economic and capital market conditions in the U.S. have resulted in a
severe reduction in the availability of debt and equity capital for the market
as a whole, and financial services firms in particular. These conditions have
constrained us and other companies in the financial services sector, limiting or
completely preventing access to markets for debt and equity capital needed to
maintain operations, continue investment originations and to grow. Reflecting
concern about the stability of the financial markets, many lenders and
institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers.
This market turmoil and tightening of credit has led to increased market
volatility and widespread reduction of business activity generally. If we are
unable to renew or replace Facility and consummate new facilities, our liquidity
will be significantly reduced. If these conditions continue for a prolonged
period of time, or worsen in the future, we could lose key employees and our
business prospects could be negatively impacted. Even if we are able to renew or
refinance the Facility or consummate new borrowing facilities, we may not be
able to do so on favorable terms. In addition, the debt capital that will be
available, if at all, may be at a higher cost and/or on less favorable terms and
conditions. Equity capital is, and may continue to be, difficult to raise
because, subject to some limited exceptions, we are not generally able to issue
and sell our common stock at a price below NAV per share. In addition, issuing
equity at depressed stock prices can be dilutive to our stockholders. These
events and our inability to raise capital have resulted in the suspension of new
originations, curtailed our ability to
grow and have had a negative impact on our liquidity and operating results. The
continued inability to raise additional capital could further constrain our
liquidity, negatively impact our business prospects, cause the departure of key
employees and negatively impact our operating results.

Item 5. Other
Information
Amendments
to Employment Agreements with Certain Executives
On August
5, 2009, the Company and Katonah Debt Advisors agreed to amend the terms of the
existing employment agreements with each of Dayl W. Pearson, the Company’s
President and Chief Executive Officer; Michael I. Wirth, the Company’s Chief
Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Treasurer and Secretary; R. Jon
Corless, the Company’s Chief Investment Officer; and E.A. Kratzman, a Vice
President of the Company and the President of Katonah Debt
Advisors. The amended and restated agreements are each effective as
of August 5, 2009 and reflect cash compensation structures (i.e.,
base salary and minimum target bonus amounts) not in excess of those in effect
in 2008 for each executive as well as amendments to the terms of the severance
arrangements under the agreements. A description of the material
amendments to the terms of these agreements is provided below. Such
description is qualified by reference to these amended and restated agreements,
which are filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are
incorporated herein by reference.
Amended
and Restated Employment Agreements with Dayl W. Pearson, Michael I. Wirth and R.
Jon Corless
Each
of the amended and restated employment agreements with Messrs. Pearson, Wirth
and Corless provides for an initial term ending on December 31, 2010 (subject to
automatic one-year renewals thereafter as provided in their previous agreements)
unless either party provides prior written notice (not later than 30 days prior
to the expiration of the term) of his or its decision not to extend the term of
the employment agreement. Under their respective employment
agreements, Messrs. Pearson, Wirth and Corless are entitled to receive an annual
base salary of $400,000, $325,000 and $250,000, respectively, which reflects
their 2008 base salaries, and will be eligible to earn annual performance-based
cash bonuses of no less than $450,000, 375,000 and $200,000,
respectively, which reflects minimum target bonus amounts not in excess of those
in effect for 2008, to be paid, in each case, on or about January 31 of the
succeeding calendar year. As amended, the employment agreements
provide that if the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without
cause or by the executive for good reason (each as defined in the applicable
employment agreement) or as a result of death or disability, the executive (or
his designated beneficiary or estate) will be entitled to receive (i) his base
salary and contributions toward health insurance premiums for the remaining term
of the agreement (or, if greater, six months after such termination); provided,
that if the remaining term of the agreement exceeds six months, the Company may
elect to cease continuation of base salary and contributions toward health
insurance premiums at any point following the six-month anniversary of such
termination so long as the Company releases the executive from his remaining
non-competition and non-solicitation obligations as of such date; (ii) any base
salary earned but not paid through the date of termination; (iii) vacation time
accrued but not used to that date; and (iv) any bonus compensation to which the
executive is entitled in respect of the year of termination, prorated to the
date of termination, all on the condition that the executive sign a release of
claims. In addition to the benefits described above, the executive
will be entitled to a further six months of base salary and contributions toward
health insurance premiums (i.e., for a total of one year) if he is terminated by
the Company within 90 days following a change in control involving the Company
(defined to include the acquisition by any person (or group) of the beneficial
ownership of 33% or more of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s common
stock or the voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;
the failure of the incumbent board of directors (or successors designated
thereby) to constitute a majority of the Company’s board of directors; the
approval by shareholders of a merger, consolidation or other reorganization
transaction in which the Company’s shareholders do not, at closing, own more
than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving entity; and a liquidation
or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of its
assets).
Amended
and Restated Employment Agreement with E.A. Kratzman
Mr.
Kratzman’s amended and restated agreement with Katonah Debt Advisors provides
for an initial term ending on December 31, 2011 (subject to automatic one-year
renewals thereafter as previously provided unless terminated in writing by
either party prior to the expiration of the term). In addition to his
base salary and annual bonus, Mr. Kratzman is entitled to receive up to three
special bonuses of $150,000 each upon the receipt by Katonah Debt Advisors of
all of the deferred subordinated fees from Katonah VII, VII and IX CLO Funds,
respectively, each such special bonus to be paid as soon as practicable
following the receipt of the applicable deferred fees. Mr. Kratzman
must remain continuously employed by Katonah Debt Advisors through the date of
the receipt of the applicable deferred fees to receive each special
bonus. As amended, the employment agreement provides that if Mr.
Kratzman’s employment is terminated by Katonah Debt Advisors without cause, by
him for good reason (each as defined in the employment agreement) or as a result
of death or disability, he (or his designated beneficiary or estate) will be
entitled to receive (i) his base salary and contributions toward health
insurance premiums for the remaining term of the agreement; provided, that if
the remaining term of the agreement exceeds one year, Katonah Debt Advisors may
elect to cease continuation of base salary and contributions toward health
insurance premiums at any point following the one-year anniversary of such
termination so long as Katonah Debt Advisors releases Mr. Kratzman from his
remaining non-competition and non-solicitation obligations as of such date; (ii)
any base salary earned but not paid through the date of termination; (iii)
vacation time accrued but not used to that date; and (iv) any bonus compensation
to which Mr. Kratzman is entitled in respect of the year of termination,
prorated to the date of termination (but in all cases based on an annual amount
of no less than $650,000), all on the condition that he sign a release of
claims. In addition to the benefits described above, Mr. Kratzman
will be entitled to an extra six months of his base salary and contributions
toward health insurance premiums (i.e., for a total of 18 months) if he is
terminated by Katonah Debt Advisors within 90 days following a change in control
involving the Company (defined to include the acquisition by any person (or
group) of the beneficial ownership of 33% or more of the then outstanding shares
of the Company’s common stock or the voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding voting securities; the failure of the incumbent board of directors
(or successors designated thereby) to constitute a majority of the Company’s
board of directors; the approval by shareholders of a merger, consolidation or
other reorganization transaction in which the Company’s shareholders do not, at
closing, own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving entity;
and a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale of all or
substantially all of its assets).
