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. 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. 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 our common stock raised net proceeds of approximately $200 million. Prior to the IPO, the Company issued 3,484,333 shares to affiliates of Kohlberg & Co., LLC (“Kohlberg & Co.”), a leading middle market private equity firm, in exchange for the contribution of their ownership interests in Katonah Debt Advisors and in securities issued by collateralized loan obligation funds (“CLO Funds”) managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and two other asset managers to the Company. Katonah Debt Advisors manages CLO Funds which invest in broadly syndicated loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments. As of September 30, 2007, 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. 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.

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its special purpose financing subsidiary, Kohlberg Capital Funding LLC I. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company does not consolidate portfolio company investments, including those in which it has a controlling interest (Katonah Debt Advisors currently is the only company in which the Company has a controlling interest) or its special purpose financing subsidiary.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

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

Investments

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

Loans and Debt Securities. For loans and debt securities for which market quotations are readily available, such as broadly syndicated term loans and bonds, fair value generally is equal to the market price for those loans and securities. For loans and debt securities for which a market quotation is not readily available, such as middle market term loans and mezzanine debt investments, fair value generally approximates amortized cost unless the borrower’s enterprise value or overall financial condition or other factors lead to a determination of fair value at a different amount; as a general rule, the Company does not value such loans or debt securities above cost, but such loans and debt securities will be subject to fair value write-downs when the asset is considered impaired.

Equity and Equity-Related Securities. The Company’s equity and equity-related securities in portfolio companies for which there is no liquid public market are carried at fair value based on the enterprise value of the portfolio company, which will be 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 equity investment in its wholly-owned asset management company, Katonah Debt Advisors, is valued based on standard measures such the percentage of assets under management and a multiple of operating income used to value other asset management companies.

CLO Fund Securities. The securities issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors are primarily held by third parties. The Company typically makes a minority investment in the most junior class of securities of CLO Funds raised and managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and may selectively invest in securities issued by funds managed by other asset management companies (collectively “CLO Investments”). The Company’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. It is the Company’s intention that its aggregate CLO Investments not exceed 10% of the Company’s total investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2007, CLO Investments represented approximately 8% of the Company’s investment portfolio.

The Company’s CLO Investments are carried at fair value, which is based on a discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow and comparable yields for similar bonds and preferred shares/income notes, when available. The Company recognizes unrealized appreciation or depreciation on its CLO Investments as comparable yields in the market change and/or based on changes in estimated cash flows resulting from changes in prepayment or loss assumptions in the underlying collateral pool. As each CLO Investment ages, the expected amount of losses and the expected timing of recognition of such losses in the underlying collateral pool is 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 CLO Investments on an individual security-by-security basis.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments. Kohlberg Capital’s Board of Directors is ultimately and solely responsible for making a good faith determination of the fair value of portfolio investments on a quarterly basis. Duff & Phelps, LLC, an independent valuation firm, provided third party valuation consulting services to the Company’s Board of Directors which consisted of certain limited procedures that the Company’s Board of Directors identified and requested them to perform. For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors asked Duff & Phelps, LLC to perform the limited procedures on fourteen investments comprising approximately 48% of the total investments at fair value as of September 30, 2007 for which market quotations are not readily available. Upon completion of the limited procedures, Duff & Phelps, LLC concluded that the fair value of those investments subjected to the limited procedures did not appear to be unreasonable.

The Board of Directors may consider other methods of valuation than those set forth above to determine the fair value of investments as appropriate in conformity with GAAP. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

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

Interest Income. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company generally places a loan 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. At September 30, 2007, no loans or debt securities were past due or on non-accrual status.

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 September 30, 2007, there was an unamortized debt issuance cost of approximately $1.3 million included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $75,000 and $189,000, respectively. The Company had no borrowing facility in place or amortization of debt issuance costs at and for the year ended December 31, 2006.

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

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

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

4. INVESTMENTS

The Company invests in senior secured loans and mezzanine debt and, in the future and to a lesser extent, equity capital of middle market companies in a variety of industries. The Company generally targets companies that generate positive cash flows because the Company looks to cash flows as the primary source for servicing debt. However, the Company may invest in other industries if it is presented with attractive opportunities.

The following table shows the Company’s portfolio by security type at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006:

Represents percentage of total portfolio at fair value

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 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 September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, approximately 12% and 13%, 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 8% of its portfolio on such dates).

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company’s ten largest portfolio companies represented approximately 30% and 35%, respectively, of the total fair value of its investments. The Company’s largest investment, Katonah Debt Advisors which is its wholly-owned portfolio company, represented 13% and 15% of the total fair value of the Company’s investments at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, 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 notes) 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 not exceed 10% of the Company’s total investment portfolio. Preferred shares or subordinated notes 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 invest primarily in broadly syndicated non-investment grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments of corporate issuers. The underlying assets in each of the CLO Funds in which we have any investment are generally diversified secured or unsecured corporate debt and exclude mortgage pools or mortgage securities (residential mortgage bonds, commercial mortgage backed securities, or related asset-backed securities), debt to companies providing mortgage lending and emerging markets investments. The CLO Funds are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or “excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities in the fund less payments made to senior bond holders and less fund expenses and management fees) is paid to the holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated debt or preferred stock. As of September 30, 2007, all of the CLO Funds in which the Company holds investments maintained the original issue credit ratings on all classes of their securities and were continuing to make cash payments to all classes of investors. As of September 30, 2007, our CLO Fund securities had an average annual cash yield of 28%.

Prior to its IPO, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,258,000 common shares, having a value of approximately $19 million, to affiliates of Kohlberg & Co. to acquire certain subordinated debt and preferred stock securities issued by CLO Funds (Katonah III, Ltd., Katonah IV, Ltd., Katonah V, Ltd., Katonah VII CLO, Ltd., and Katonah VIII CLO, Ltd.) which had previously been raised and are managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and two other asset managers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company invested an additional $11 million in a new CLO Fund managed by Katonah Debt Advisors and another $4 million in a CLO Fund managed by a third party. The subordinated debt and preferred stock securities are considered equity positions in the CLO Funds and, as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $33 million and $21 million, respectively, of such CLO equity investments.

The cost basis of the Company’s investment in CLO Fund equity securities as of September 30, 2007 was approximately $36 million and aggregate unrealized losses on the CLO Fund investments totaled approximately $3 million. The cost basis of the Company’s investment in CLO Fund equity securities as of December 31, 2006 was approximately $21 million and with no aggregate unrealized losses on the CLO Fund investments.

5. 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 September 30, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management.

Katonah Debt Advisors 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. These CLO Funds do not invest in asset-backed securities secured by commercial mortgages, residential mortgages or other consumer borrowings. As of September 30, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management, and the Company’s 100% equity interest in Katonah Debt Advisors was valued at approximately $58 million. 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. The annual fees which Katonah Debt Advisors receives are generally based on a fixed percentage of assets under management, and Katonah Debt Advisors generates annual operating income equal to the amount by which its fee income exceeds it operating expenses. In future years, Katonah Debt Advisors may receive accrued incentive fees upon the liquidation of CLO Funds it manages, provided such CLO Funds have achieved a minimum investment return to holders of their subordinated debt or preferred stock.

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.

Katonah Debt Advisors, as a wholly-owned portfolio company, is accounted for using the equity method of accounting consistent with the Company’s status as a BDC. Under the equity method of accounting, Katonah Debt Advisors is initially recorded at cost on the Company’s balance sheet. Subsequent net income or losses of Katonah Debt Advisors under GAAP is recognized as affiliate income or loss on the Company’s income statement with a corresponding increase (in the case of net income) or decrease (in the case of net loss) in the cost basis of the investment in Katonah Debt Advisors on the Company’s balance sheet. 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. Cash distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ accumulated GAAP net income would increase cash and reduce the basis of Katonah Debt Advisors on the Company’s balance sheet. As with all other investments, Katonah Debt Advisors’ market value is periodically determined. The valuation is primarily based on a percentage of its assets under management and/or based on Katonah Debt Advisors’ estimated net cash flows. Any change in value from period to period is recognized as unrealized gain or loss.

As a separately regarded entity for tax purposes, Katonah Debt Advisors, L.L.C. is taxed at normal corporate rates. For tax purposes, any distributions of taxable net income earned by Katonah Debt Advisors to the Company would generally need to be distributed to the Company’s shareholders. 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 distributable income by which GAAP income will exceed distributable income by approximately $2 million per year over such period. As a result, if Katonah Debt Advisors were to distribute its GAAP net income to the Company, only Katonah Debt Advisors’ taxable net income after such goodwill amortization will be required to be distributed to the Company’s shareholders.

At September 30, 2007, net amounts due from affiliates totaled approximately $492,000.

6. BORROWINGS

The Company’s debt obligations consist of the following:

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

Advances under the Facility are used by the Company primarily to make additional investments. The Company expects that the Facility will be secured by loans that it currently owns and the loans acquired by the Company with the advances under the Facility. The Company will borrow under the Facility through its wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, Kohlberg Capital Funding LLC I.

The weighted average daily debt balance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $136 million and $66 million, respectively. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the weighted average interest rate on weighted average outstanding borrowings was approximately 5.6%, which excludes the amortization of deferred financing costs and facility and program fees on unfunded balances. The Company is in compliance with all its debt covenants. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had restricted cash balances of approximately $5 million which it maintained in accordance with the terms of the Facility. A portion of these funds, approximately $2 million, were released to the Company in October 2007.

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 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. As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s undistributed taxable income was approximately $529,000. The Company has distributed this income in 2007.

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company declared a dividend on September 24, 2007 of $0.37 per share for a total of approximately $7 million. The record date was October 10, 2007 and the dividend was distributed on October 26, 2007.

The following reconciles net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations to taxable income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007:


Pre-tax net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations	$	26,205,820
Net unrealized gain on investments transactions not taxable		(8,073,874	)
Other income not currently taxable		(1,795,006	)
Expenses not currently deductible		15,039

Taxable income before deductions for distributions	$	16,351,979

Taxable income before deductions for distributions per outstanding share	$	0.91

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the needs of the Company’s investment in portfolio companies. Such instruments include commitments to extend credit and may involve, in varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. Prior to extending such credit, the Company attempts to limit its credit risk by conducting extensive due diligence, obtaining collateral where necessary and negotiating appropriate financial covenants. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had committed to make a total of approximately $4 million of investments in various revolving senior secured loans, of which approximately $757,000 was funded. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had committed to make a total of approximately $517,000 of investments in a delayed draw senior secured loan. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had committed to make a total of approximately $2 million of investments in various revolving senior secured loans, all of which was unfunded. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had committed to make a total of approximately $667,000 of investments in a delayed draw senior secured loan.

The Company and Katonah Debt Advisors have entered into first loss agreements in connection with warehouse credit lines established to fund the initial accumulation of senior secured corporate loans and certain other debt securities for future CLO Funds that Katonah Debt Advisors will manage, and may enter into similar agreements in the future. Such first loss agreements relate to (i) losses (if any) as a result of individual loan investments being ineligible for purchase by a new CLO Fund (typically due to a payment default on such loan) when such fund formation is completed or, (ii) if a new CLO Fund has not been completed before the expiration of the related warehouse credit line, the loss (if any, and net of any accumulated interest income) on the resale of loans and debt securities funded by such warehouse credit line. In return for the Company’s first loss commitment, the Company receives net interest income from the underlying assets in the loan warehouse.

On February 7, 2007 and March 3, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors engaged Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. (“Bear Stearns”) to structure and raise two CLO Funds, currently to be named Katonah 2007-I CLO Ltd. (formerly Briarcliff CLO I Ltd.) (“Katonah 2007”), and Katonah CLO XI Ltd. (“Katonah XI”), respectively, and to be managed by Katonah Debt Advisors. As part of these engagements, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into warehouse credit lines with Bear Stearns to fund the initial accumulation of assets for Katonah 2007 and Katonah XI, which provided for a first loss obligation of Katonah Debt Advisors, requiring it to reimburse Bear Stearns for (i) certain losses (if any) incurred on the assets warehoused for Katonah 2007 and Katonah XI prior to their completion, or (ii) if one or both of these CLO Funds failed to close at the expiration of the engagement, a portion of the losses (if any) on the resale of the warehoused assets. As of September 30, 2007, Katonah 2007 and Katonah XI had acquired an aggregate of approximately $316 million and $147 million, respectively, determined on the basis of the par value of such assets. On October 12, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a new engagement letter with Bear Stearns, pursuant to which the term of the engagement and of the warehouse credit lines was extended to December 31, 2008. The parties also agreed to structure and raise one additional CLO Fund (for a total of three funds) during the term of the engagement and to re-allocate the assets already warehoused among Katonah 2007, Katonah XI and the new CLO Fund to achieve a target size of approximately $315 million in assets for each such CLO Fund.

engagement, the warehouse credit facility and Kohlberg Capital’s first loss obligation upon payment to Lehman of a payoff amount equal to the amount owed under the warehouse credit facility as of the payoff date minus $1 million, to reflect the estimated current value of the warehoused loans. As part of the termination, Kohlberg Capital purchased all of Ardsley’s assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $72 million. Approximately $ 14 million in aggregate principal amount of such assets were purchased and subsequently sold in market transactions with third parties. The remaining approximately $58 million of debt securities from Ardsley will be retained in Kohlberg Capital’s investment portfolio. Ardsley is using the proceeds from its sale of these loans to the Company to repay the outstanding obligations under the warehouse credit facility. The Company expects to complete payment in full of all outstanding amounts under the warehouse credit facility by December 31, 2007 at which time the warehouse credit facility and Kohlberg Capital’s first loss obligations thereunder will terminate. The value of the Ardsley assets are not included as assets under management at Katonah Debt Advisors at September 30, 2007.

As a result of the termination of the Ardsley warehouse credit facility, the warehouse credit line with Bear Stearns pursuant to the engagement letter dated October 12, 2007 is the only guarantee arrangement to which the Company is a party with respect to the business of Katonah Debt Advisors.

9. 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued 51,278 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan. The total number of shares outstanding as of September 30, 2007 and as of December 31, 2006 was 17,997,611 and 17,946,333, respectively.

10. STOCK OPTIONS

During 2006, the Company established a stock option plan (the “Plan”) and reserved 1,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide officers and prospective employees of the Company with additional incentives and align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Options are exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value (market closing price) of the shares on the day the option is granted.

On December 11, 2006, concurrent with the completion of the Company’s IPO, options to purchase a total of 910,000 shares of common stock were granted to the Company’s executive officers and directors with an exercise price per share of $15.00 (the public offering price of the common stock). Such options vest equally over two, three or four years from the date of grant and have a ten-year exercise period. During the nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007, 70,000 options granted to employees were forfeited. As of September 30, 2007, 1,335,000 total options were outstanding, none of which were exercisable. The options have an estimated remaining contractual life of 9 years and 3 months.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the weighted average grant date fair value per share for options granted during the period was $0.00 and $1.90, respectively. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the weighted average grant date fair value per share for options forfeited during the period was $1.81. Information with respect to options granted, exercised and forfeited under the Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is as follows:


	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted Average Contractual Remaining Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value⁽¹⁾
Options outstanding at January 1, 2007	910,000		$	15.00
Granted	495,000		$	16.63
Exercised	—
Forfeited	(70,000	)	$	16.36

Outstanding at September 30, 2007	1,335,000		$	15.53	9.3	$	—

⁽¹⁾	Represents the difference between the market value of the options at September 30, 2007 and the cost for the option holders to exercise the options.

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 three months ended September 30, 2007, total stock option expense of approximately $145,000 was recognized and expensed at the Company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, total stock option expense of approximately $450,000 was recognized; of this amount approximately $370,000 was expensed at the Company and approximately $80,000 was expensed at Katonah Debt Advisors. At September 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $1.6 million of compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards the cost for which is expected to be recognized and allocated between the Company and Katonah Debt Advisors over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.

11. OTHER EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

The Company adopted a 401(k) plan (“401K Plan”) effective January 1, 2007. The 401K Plan is open to all full time employees. The Plan permits an employee to defer a portion of their total annual compensation up to the Internal Revenue Service annual maximum based on age and eligibility. The Company makes contributions to the 401K Plan of up to 2.67% of the employee’s first 74.9% of maximum eligible compensation, which fully vest at the time of contribution. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s contributions to the 401K Plan were $11,000 and $17,000, 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 contributes to the Pension Plan 1) 8.0% of all compensation up to the Internal Revenue Service annual maximum and 2) 5.7% excess contributions on any incremental amounts above the social security wage base limitation and up to the Internal Revenue Service annual maximum. Employees vest 100% in the Pension Plan after five years of service. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s contributions to the Pension Plan were $24,000 and $49,000, respectively.

12. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has adopted FIN 48 and concluded that it did not materially impact the Company’s financial position or results from operations.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”), which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of a company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. SFAS 159 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements of other accounting standards, including fair value measurement disclosures in SFAS 157. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of Statement 157. At this time, the Company is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 159, and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

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 September 30, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation from our investments. We also expect to 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.

Investment Securities

We invest in senior secured loans and mezzanine debt and, in the future and to a lesser extent, equity capital, of middle market companies in a variety of industries. We generally target companies that generate positive cash flows because we look to cash flows as the primary source for servicing debt. However, we may invest in other industries if we are presented with attractive opportunities.

Kohlberg Capital’s portfolio investments at fair value increased from $249 million at December 31, 2006 to $435 million as of September 30, 2007. The net increase in portfolio size was funded primarily with borrowings under our new credit facility and with the proceeds of the over-allotment option exercised in connection with our December 2006 IPO. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company also sold some of its initial portfolio of primarily first lien loans that were accumulated prior to completion of the IPO in order to move towards our targeted portfolio mix of first and second lien loans, mezzanine finance and equity securities.

First lien loan balances at fair value increased to $190 million at September 30, 2007 from $163 million at December 31, 2006. Second lien, mezzanine loan and bond positions increased to $149 million at September 30, 2007 from $27 million at December 31, 2006. The Company had equity securities, other than CLO equity securities, totaling $5 million and investments in CLO Fund securities of $33 million at September 30, 2007. The increase in investment positions is primarily a result of increased secured borrowings which finance such investment purchases. At September 30, 2007, the Company’s investments in loans and debt securities had an annual weighted average interest rate of approximately 10%.

The investment portfolio (excluding the Company’s investment in Katonah Debt Advisors and CLO Funds) at quarter end is spread across 26 different industries and 83 different entities with an average balance per investment of approximately $4 million. As of September 30, 2007, all 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. 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.

Investment in CLO Fund Securities

We typically make a minority investment in the subordinated debt 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. The securities issued by CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors are primarily held by third parties. As of September 30, 2007, we had $33 million invested in CLO Fund securities, including those issued by funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors. CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors invest primarily in broadly syndicated non-investment grade loans, high-yield bonds and other credit instruments of corporate issuers. The underlying assets in each of the CLO Funds in which we have any investment are generally diversified secured or unsecured corporate debt and exclude mortgage pools or mortgage securities (residential mortgage bonds, commercial mortgage backed securities, or related asset-backed securities), debt to companies providing mortgage lending and emerging markets investments. The CLO Funds are leveraged funds and any excess cash flow or “excess spread” (interest earned by the underlying securities in the fund less payments made to senior bond holders and less fund expenses and management fees) is paid to the holders of the CLO Fund’s subordinated debt or preferred stock. As of September 30, 2007, all of the CLO Funds in which the Company holds investments maintained the original issue credit ratings on all classes of their securities and were continuing to make cash payments to all classes of investors. As of September 30, 2007, our CLO Fund securities had an average annual cash yield of 28%.

Our CLO Investments are carried at fair value, which is based on a discounted cash flow model that utilizes prepayment and loss assumptions based on historical experience and projected performance, economic factors, the characteristics of the underlying cash flow and comparable yields for similar bonds and preferred shares/income notes, when available. We recognize unrealized appreciation or depreciation on our CLO Investments as comparable yields in the market change and/or based on changes in estimated cash flows resulting from changes in prepayment or loss assumptions in the underlying collateral pool. As each CLO Investment ages, the expected amount of losses and the expected timing of recognition of such losses in the underlying collateral pool is updated and the revised cash flows are used in determining the fair value of the CLO Investment. We determine the fair value of our CLO Investments on an individual security-by-security basis.

Investment in 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. As a manager of the CLO Funds, Katonah Debt Advisors expects to receive its contractual and recurring management fee and any subsequent incentive management fees from the CLO Funds for its management and advisory services. The CLO Funds managed by Katonah Debt Advisors consist almost exclusively of credit instruments issued by corporations and do not invest in asset-backed securities such as those secured by residential mortgages or other consumer borrowings. Katonah Debt Advisors receives management fees, which are generally based on a fixed percentage of assets under management, and generates annual operating income equal to the amount by which its fee income exceeds it operating expenses. Katonah Debt Advisors also typically receives one-time structuring fees upon the creation of a new CLO Fund and may also receive incentive fees paid by the CLO Funds if it achieves a specified rate of return to the subordinated debt or preferred stock securities. As of September 30, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors had approximately $2.1 billion of assets under management.

We expect to receive distributions of recurring fee income and to generate capital appreciation from our 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 we expect to receive a current cash return, we can help Katonah Debt Advisors raise these funds which in turn will increase its assets under management which will result in additional management fee income.

Katonah Debt Advisors, as a wholly-owned portfolio company, is accounted for using the equity method of accounting consistent with our status as a BDC. Under the equity method of accounting, Katonah Debt Advisors is initially recorded at cost on our balance sheet. Subsequent net income or losses of Katonah Debt Advisors under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) is recognized as affiliate income or loss on our income statement with a corresponding increase (in the case of net income) or decrease (in the case of net loss) in the cost basis of our investment in Katonah Debt Advisors on the balance sheet. The revenue that Katonah Debt Advisors generates through the fees it receives for managing CLO Funds and after paying the expenses associated with its operations, including compensation of its employees, may be distributed to us. Cash distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ accumulated GAAP net income would reduce the basis of Katonah Debt Advisors on our balance sheet. As with all other investments, Katonah Debt Advisors’ market 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 net cash flows. Any change in value from period to period is recognized as unrealized gain or loss.

As a separately regarded entity for tax purposes, Katonah Debt Advisors, L.L.C. is taxed at normal corporate rates. For tax purposes, any distributions of taxable net income earned by Katonah Debt Advisors to us would generally need to be distributed to our shareholders. 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 our IPO in exchange for shares of our stock valued at $33 million. Although this transaction was a stock transaction rather than an asset purchase and thus no goodwill was recognized for GAAP purposes, for tax purposes such exchange was considered an asset purchase under Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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 distributable income by which GAAP income will exceed distributable income by approximately $2 million per year over such period. As a result, if Katonah Debt Advisors were to distribute its GAAP net income to us, only Katonah Debt Advisors’ taxable net income after such goodwill amortization will be required to be distributed to our shareholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

Set forth below is a discussion of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Prior to the completion of our IPO on December 11, 2006, we had no material operations. Therefore, there are no comparable prior periods presented.

Investment Income

Investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $10.5 million. Of this amount, approximately $8 million was related to interest income on our investments which had an average par value during the period of approximately $309 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 approximately $630,000 of investment income was related to interest on assets accumulated for future CLO issuances on which Kohlberg Capital has provided a first loss guaranty in connection with loan warehouse arrangements for Katonah Debt Advisors CLO Funds. Approximately $2 million of investment income is related to dividends earned on CLO equity investments.

Investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $26 million. Of this amount, approximately $18 million was related to interest income on our investments which had an average par value during the period of approximately $243 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 approximately $2 million of investment income was related to interest on assets accumulated for future CLO issuances on which Kohlberg Capital has provided a first loss guaranty in connection with loan warehouse arrangements for Katonah Debt Advisors CLO Funds. Approximately $5 million of investment income is related 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.

Expenses

Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $4.4 million. 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 on average debt outstanding of $136 million. Approximately $1 million of expenses related to employment compensation, including salaries, bonuses, stock option, 401K and pension related expense for the period. Other expenses included approximately $406,000 in professional fees related to legal, accounting, valuation and Sarbanes Oxley compliance fees. Administrative and other costs totaled $296,000 and include occupancy expense, insurance, technology and other office expenses.

Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $9 million. Interest expense and amortization on debt issuance costs for the period, which includes facility and program fees on the unused loan balance, was approximately $4 million on average debt outstanding of $66 million. Approximately $3 million of expenses related to employment compensation, including salaries, bonuses, stock option, 401K and pension related expense for the period. Other expenses included approximately $2 million in professional fees related to legal, accounting, valuation, recruiting and Sarbanes Oxley compliance fees. Administrative and other costs totaled $997,000 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 balance on our revolving credit facility and the base index rate for the period. Compensation expense includes base salaries, bonuses, stock compensation, employee benefits and employer related payroll costs. The largest components of total compensation costs are base salaries and bonuses; generally, base salaries are expensed as incurred and bonus expenses are estimated and accrued since bonuses are paid annually.

Equity in Income from Affiliate

At September 30, 2007, Kohlberg Capital’s investment in its wholly-owned portfolio company, Katonah Debt Advisors, was approximately $58 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors had GAAP net income of approximately $657,000 and $2 million, respectively. The net income of Katonah Debt Advisors is included in the GAAP income of Kohlberg Capital Corporation. Katonah Debt Advisors made no cash distributions of its income in 2007. For purposes of calculating distributable income for required quarterly dividends as a regulated investment company, only cash distributions of Katonah Debt Advisors’ current or accumulated undistributed net income to Kohlberg Capital are included and are further reduced by approximately $2 million per annum for tax goodwill amortization resulting from its acquisition by Kohlberg Capital prior to the IPO. 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) and may result in a dividend amount that exceeds our distributable tax income but not our GAAP net investment income.

Net Unrealized Appreciation on Investments

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s investments had a decrease in net unrealized appreciation of $11 million and an increase of $8 million, respectively. The decrease in net unrealized appreciation for the three months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily due to i) an approximate $8 million decrease in the market value of certain broadly syndicated loans as a result of current market conditions (there are no non-performing loans – all loans remain current on interest and principal payments); ii) an approximate $2 million decrease in the value of CLO equity investments as a result of current market conditions; and, iii) an approximate $1 million decrease in the value of Katonah Debt Advisors due to a decrease in assets under management, primarily as a result of the termination of the Ardsley CLO warehouse facility on October 1, 2007 (the Company purchased and retained approximately $58 million of the warehoused Ardsley assets for its investment portfolio).

The increase in net unrealized appreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily a result of the appreciation of our wholly-owned portfolio company, Katonah Debt Advisors offset by recent decrease in net unrealized appreciation noted for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The year-to-date increase in the value of Katonah Debt Advisors is primarily as a result of an increase in Katonah Debt Advisors’ assets under management from $1.2 billion prior to our IPO to $2.1 billion as of September 30, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors increased its assets under management through the completion of Katonah X CLO Ltd. with approximately $486 million in assets at September 30, 2007. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors began to aggregate assets of approximately $463 million for new funds it expects to complete by the first half of 2008.

Net Increase in Stockholders’ Equity Resulting From Operations

The net decrease in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $26 million, or $1.46 per outstanding 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 will provide cash for new investments on our balance sheet as well as additional management fee income and potentially increased value (as a result of increased assets under management) for Katonah Debt Advisors.

As a BDC, we are limited in the amount of leverage we can incur to finance our investment portfolio. We are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities of at least 200%. For this purpose, senior securities include all borrowings and any preferred stock. As a result, our ability to utilize leverage as a means of financing our portfolio of investments is limited by this asset coverage test.

As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the fair value of investments and cash and cash equivalents were as follows:


	Investments at Fair Value
Security Type	September 30, 2007		December 31, 2006
	(unaudited)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	7,023,967	$	32,404,493

Portfolio Management Company		58,019,825		37,574,995

Total	$	441,960,398	$	281,616,872

On February 14, 2007, the Company entered into an arrangement under which the Company may obtain up to $200 million.On October 1, 2007, the Company amended the credit facility to increase the Company’s borrowing capacity from $200 million to $275 million, extend the maturity date from February 12, 2012 to October 1, 2012 and increase the interest spread charged on outstanding borrowings by 15 basis points, to 0.85%. The interest rate is based on prevailing commercial paper rates plus 0.85% or, if the commercial paper market is at any time unavailable, prevailing LIBOR rates plus an applicable spread. Interest is payable monthly. Advances under the Facility are used by the Company primarily to make additional investments. The Company expects that the Facility will be secured by loans that it currently owns and the loans acquired by the Company with the advances under the Facility. The Company will borrow under the Facility through its wholly-owned, special-purpose bankruptcy remote subsidiary, Kohlberg Capital Funding LLC I. As of September 30, 2007, the outstanding balance on this facility was $170 million with available additional borrowing capacity of $ 105 million. As of September 30, 2007, we had restricted cash balances of approximately $5 million which we maintained in accordance with the terms of our Facility. A portion of these funds, approximately $2 million, were released to us in July 2007.

We expect our cash on hand, borrowings under our current Facility’s undrawn commitments, and cash generated from operations, including income earned from investments and any income distributions made by Katonah Debt Advisors, our wholly-owned portfolio company, will be adequate to meet our cash needs at our current level of operations. Our primary use of funds will be investments in secured lien loans, mezzanine debt and CLO Fund equity. In order to fund new originations, we intend to use cash on hand, advances under our credit Facility and equity financings. Our credit Facility contains collateral requirements, including, but not limited to, minimum diversity, rating and yield, and limitations on loan size. These limitations may limit our ability to fund certain new originations with advances under the Facility, in which case we will seek to fund originations using new debt or equity financings.

COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

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 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 September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had committed to make a total of approximately $4 million of investments in various revolving senior secured loans, of which approximately $757,000 was funded as of September 30, 2007 and no amount was funded as of December 31, 2006. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had committed to make a total of approximately $517,000 of investments in a delayed draw senior secured loan.

We and Katonah Debt Advisors have entered into first loss agreements in connection with warehouse credit lines established to fund the initial accumulation of senior secured corporate loans and certain other debt securities for future CLO Funds that Katonah Debt Advisors will manage, and may enter into similar agreements in the future. Such first loss agreements relate to (i) losses (if any) as a result of individual loan investments being ineligible for purchase by a new CLO Fund (typically due to a payment default on such loan) when such fund formation is completed or, (ii) if a new CLO Fund has not been completed before the expiration of the related warehouse credit line, the loss (if any, and net of any accumulated interest income) on the resale of loans and debt securities funded by such warehouse credit line. In return for our first loss commitment, we receive net interest income from the underlying assets in the loan warehouse.

the assets warehoused for Katonah 2007 and Katonah XI prior to their completion, or (ii) if one or both of these CLO Funds failed to close at the expiration of the engagement, a portion of the losses (if any) on the resale of the warehoused assets. As of September 30, 2007, Katonah 2007 and Katonah XI had acquired an aggregate of approximately $316 million and $147 million, respectively, determined on the basis of the par value of such assets. On October 12, 2007, Katonah Debt Advisors entered into a new engagement letter with Bear Stearns, pursuant to which the term of the engagement and of the warehouse credit lines was extended to December 31, 2008. The parties also agreed to structure and raise one additional CLO Fund (for a total of three funds) during the term of the engagement and to re-allocate the assets already warehoused among Katonah 2007, Katonah XI and the new CLO Fund to achieve a target size of approximately $315 million in assets for each such CLO Fund.

On March 12, 2007, Kohlberg Capital and Katonah Debt Advisors engaged Lehman to structure and raise a CLO Fund to invest in senior secured middle market corporate loans, to be named Ardsley CLO 2007-1 Ltd. and to be managed by Katonah Debt Advisors, and entered into a warehouse credit agreement and ancillary agreements with Lehman to fund the initial accumulation of assets for Ardsley. Under the warehouse credit agreement, Kohlberg Capital, as the first loss provider, was obligated to reimburse Lehman for (i) certain losses (if any) incurred on loans acquired for Ardsley with advances under the warehouse credit facility prior to the completion of the CLO Fund, or (ii) if the CLO Fund failed to close at the expiration of the engagement on December 19, 2007, a portion of the losses (if any) on the resale of the warehoused assets. On October 3, 2007, Kohlberg Capital, Katonah Debt Advisors and Ardsley agreed with Lehman to terminate the engagement, the warehouse credit facility and Kohlberg Capital’s first loss obligation upon payment to Lehman of a payoff amount equal to the amount owed under the warehouse credit facility as of the payoff date minus $1 million, to reflect the estimated current value of the warehoused loans. As part of the termination, Kohlberg Capital purchased all of Ardsley’s assets for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $ 72 million. Approximately $ 14 million in aggregate principal amount of such assets were purchased and subsequently sold in market transactions with third parties. The remaining approximately $ 58 million of debt securities from Ardsley will be retained in Kohlberg Capital’s investment portfolio. Ardsley is using the proceeds from its sale of these loans to us to repay the outstanding obligations under the warehouse credit facility. The Company expects to complete payment in full of all outstanding amounts under the warehouse credit facility by December 31, 2007 at which time the warehouse credit facility and Kohlberg Capital’s first loss obligations thereunder will terminate. The value of the Ardsley assets are not included as assets under management at Katonah Debt Advisors at September 30, 2007.

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.

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.

As a BDC, we invest a substantial portion of our assets in illiquid securities including debt and equity securities of primarily privately-held companies. These securities will be valued and carried at fair value, as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors each quarter. We will determine fair value to be the amount for which an investment could be exchanged in an orderly disposition over a reasonable period of time between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. 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.

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. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, no loans or debt securities were greater than 90 days past due or on non-accrual status.

Payment in Kind Interest

The Company may have loans in its 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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company earned approximately $244,000 and $395,000 in PIK interest, respectively.

Fee Income

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

Management Compensation

We may, from time to time, issue stock options under our Equity Incentive Plan to officers and employees for services rendered to us. We will follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (revised 2004), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, a method by which the fair value of options are determined and expensed. We are internally managed and therefore do not incur management fees payable to third parties.

Dividends

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

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

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 September 30, 2007, approximately 92% 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 September 30, 2007, we had $170 million of borrowings outstanding at a floating rate tied to prevailing commercial paper rates plus a margin of 0.70%.

Because we plan on borrowing 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 September 30, 2007 were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical increase or decrease of a 1% change in interest rates would correspondingly affect net interest income proportionately by approximately 1% over a one-year period. Correspondingly, a hypothetical increase or decrease of a 1% change in interest rates would correspondingly affect net interest expense proportionately by approximately 1% over a one-year period. Because most of our investments at September 30, 2007 were floating rate with a spread to an index similar to our financing facility, we would not expect a significant impact on our net interest spread.

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

We did not hold any derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes as of September 30, 2007. 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.

Portfolio Valuation

We carry our investments at fair value, as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations. Because there is not a readily available market value for some of the investments in our portfolio, we value substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. 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. 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 4T.

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 September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
