Kayne Anderson Energy Development Company Announces Results for the Quarter Ended May 31, 2009

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 2009--(NYSE:KED) Kayne Anderson Energy Development Company (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended May 31, 2009.

HIGHLIGHTS

• The Company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share
• Net asset value: $15.70 per share
• Net investment loss: $0.3 million
• Net realized losses: $5.9 million
• Net unrealized gains: $14.5 million

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER ENDED MAY 31, 2009

Investment income was $1.1 million and consisted primarily of interest income on fixed income investments. The Company received $3.8 million of cash dividends and distributions, of which $3.4 million was treated as a return of capital.

Operating expenses were $1.6 million, including $0.8 million of base investment management fees; $0.3 million of interest expense and $0.5 million of other operating expenses. Base investment management fees were equal to an annual rate of 1.75% of average total assets (excluding deferred income tax asset).

Net investment loss was $0.3 million which included $0.2 million of deferred income tax benefit.

Net realized losses were $5.9 million, which consisted of $9.9 million of net realized losses on investments, partially offset by a deferred income tax benefit of $4.0 million.

Net unrealized gains were $14.5 million, which consisted of $23.6 million of unrealized gains from investments, net of a deferred income tax expense of $9.1 million.

The Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the period was $8.3 million. This increase is composed of a net investment loss of $0.3 million, net realized losses of $5.9 million, and net unrealized gains of $14.5 million as noted above.

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

As of May 31, 2009, the Company had long-term investments of $174.5 million. The Company’s long-term investments consisted of 47 portfolio companies, which were comprised of approximately 53% in private MLPs, 30% in public MLPs and 17% in fixed income securities.

The Company’s percentage invested in private MLPs at May 31, 2009 is below its targeted range of 70%. Over time, the Company intends to rotate out of certain public MLPs and fixed income securities and into additional private MLPs as attractive investment opportunities arise.

During its fiscal second quarter the Company elected to monetize certain public MLP investments that had either eliminated or substantially decreased their quarterly distributions. The proceeds from these sales were invested into other public MLPs and fixed income securities during the quarter. These sales accounted for the majority of the Company’s realized losses during the quarter.

NET ASSET VALUE

As of May 31, 2009, the Company’s NAV was $158.6 million or $15.70 per share. This represents an increase of $0.47 per share or 3.1% compared to $153.8 million or $15.23 per share on February 28, 2009. Presently, the total cost basis of the company's investments exceeds the fair value reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as shown below. That, combined with operating losses, results in a deferred tax asset of $29.5 million, or approximately $2.92 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of May 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $9.5 million invested in short-term repurchase agreements. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by U.S. Treasury notes.

As of May 31, 2009, the Company had $52.0 million borrowed under its senior secured credit facility at an interest rate of 1.57% and, as of that date, had a borrowing base of $74.4 million. The maximum amount that the Company can borrow under its credit facility is limited to the lesser of the commitment amount of $100 million or its borrowing base. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $52.0 million of borrowings at an interest rate of 1.56% and its borrowing base was $74.3 million.

DIVIDEND

On July 1, 2009, the Company declared a dividend of $0.30 per share for the quarter ended May 31, 2009.

The Company is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company that elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company's investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation primarily through equity and debt investments. The Company will seek to achieve this objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets together with the proceeds of any borrowings (its "total assets") in securities of companies that derive the majority of their revenue from activities in the energy industry, including: (a) Midstream Energy Companies, which are businesses that operate assets used to gather, transport, process, treat, terminal and store natural gas, natural gas liquids, propane, crude oil or refined petroleum products; (b) Upstream Energy Companies, which are businesses engaged in the exploration, extraction and production of natural resources, including natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil, from onshore and offshore geological reservoirs; and (c) Other Energy Companies, which are businesses engaged in owning, leasing, managing, producing, processing and sale of coal and coal reserves; the marine transportation of crude oil, refined petroleum products, liquefied natural gas, as well as other energy-related natural resources using tank vessels and bulk carriers; and refining, marketing and distributing refined energy products, such as motor gasoline and propane to retail customers and industrial end-users.
