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.

Kohlberg Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is in discussion with its independent public accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), regarding valuation determinations under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157—Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) included in its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (the "December 31, 2008 financial statements") and for subsequent interim periods in 2009.  The Company has been informed by Deloitte that as a result of an annual internal inspection process, certain questions have been raised by Deloitte regarding the Company's methodology and process of valuing its loan portfolio investments under SFAS 157.  Deloitte has requested information in addition to that which was previously provided by the Company for purposes of its review.  Deloitte issued an unqualified opinion on the December 31, 2008 financial statements, which was included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2009.

As a result of its pending review of the December 31, 2008 financial statements, Deloitte has informed the Company that it will be unable to complete its review of the Company’s financial statements for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 until it has reached a conclusion about the Company's SFAS 157 valuations. Accordingly, the Company will be unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 by today's deadline.  The delays could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense.  The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q containing its full earnings results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 will be filed as soon as practicable.
