PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

As previously announced on November 9, 2011, Kohlberg Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is evaluating whether, in accordance with Rules 3-09, 10-01, 4-08(g) and 1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Regulation S-X”), separate financial statements of its wholly-owned portfolio company, Katonah Debt Advisors, L.L.C. and related affiliates controlled by the Company (collectively, “KDA”), are required to be filed with respect the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and separate summarized financial information of KDA is required to be filed with respect to the quarterly periods in fiscal 2011, including the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011.  Because the evaluation requires the Company to perform the tests specified in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X using amounts determined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the Company is required, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 – Consolidation, to prepare financial statements of KDA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 on a consolidated basis that includes the assets and liabilities of the collateralized loan obligation funds (“CLO Funds”) managed by KDA in order to perform the tests necessary to determine whether separate financial statements and separate summarized financial information of KDA are required to be filed and, if so, whether any of such financial statements are required to be audited.  As a result, significant work is required in order for the Company to make a final determination of the applicability of the requirements of Rules 3-09, 10-01, 4-08(g) and 1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X to KDA.  At this time, the evaluation has not been completed and is ongoing, and the Company has not reached any final conclusions. However, the Company believes that it is likely that at least one of the conditions specified in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X will be met at the 20% level once the financial statements of KDA reflect the consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the CLO Funds managed by KDA.  Consequently, the Company expects to be required to file separate financial statements of KDA in accordance with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X and separate summarized financial information of KDA in accordance with Rules 10-01, 4-08(g) and 1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects that the inclusion of such separate financial statements and summarized financial information of KDA will not result in any restatement to the previously reported financial results of the Company.

 
 

 
Because the preparation of KDA’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the related review and audit work to be completed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has not been completed, it is not possible for the Company to include the separate summarized financial information of KDA on a consolidated basis with the CLO Funds managed by KDA specified in Rule 10-01, 4-08(g) and 1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011 by the due date of November 9, 2011 without unreasonable effort or expense.  In addition, due to the omission of such separate summarized financial information of KDA in such Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are unable to provide the certifications required by Item 601(b)(32) of Regulation S-K with such Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The Company plans to file an amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011 to include such separate summarized financial information of KDA as well as the exhibits required by Item 601(b)(32) of Regulation S-K as soon as practicable, but does not expect such filing to occur on or before the fifth calendar day following its original due date.  The Company is not yet able to estimate when it will be able to file such amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011.
