CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believe,” “expect,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “should,” “seek,” “approximately,” “predict,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Without limiting the foregoing, statements regarding the expected acquisition of Prisma Capital Partners LP and its affiliates and the sales of certain investments such as Alliance Boots GmbH may constitute forward-looking statements that are subject to the risk that the terms of these transactions may be modified, the transactions may not be completed at all or the benefits and anticipated synergies from such transactions are not realized. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe these factors include but are not limited to those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this report. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report and in our other periodic filings. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

In this report, references to “KKR,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “our partnership” refer to KKR & Co. L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Prior to KKR & Co. L.P. becoming listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on July 15, 2010, KKR Group Holdings L.P. consolidated the financial results of KKR Management Holdings L.P. and KKR Fund Holdings L.P. (together, the “KKR Group Partnerships”) and their consolidated subsidiaries.

References to “our Managing Partner” are to KKR Management LLC, which acts as our general partner and unless otherwise indicated, references to equity interests in KKR’s business, or to percentage interests in KKR’s business, reflect the aggregate equity of the KKR Group Partnerships and are net of amounts that have been allocated to our principals in respect of the carried interest from KKR’s business as part of our “carry pool” and certain minority interests. References to our “principals” are to our senior employees and non-employee operating consultants who hold interests in KKR’s business through KKR Holdings L.P., which we refer to as “KKR Holdings”, and references to our “senior principals” are to principals who also hold interests in our Managing Partner entitling them to vote for the election of its directors.

In this report, the term “assets under management,” or “AUM”, represents the assets from which KKR is entitled to receive fees or a carried interest and general partner capital. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into KKR’s capital raising activities and the overall activity in its investment funds and vehicles. KKR calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of KKR’s investment funds plus uncalled capital commitments from these funds; (ii) the fair value of investments in KKR’s co-investment vehicles; (iii) the net asset value of certain of KKR’s fixed income products; (iv) the value of outstanding structured finance vehicles and (v) the fair value of other assets managed by KKR. KKR’s definition of AUM is not based on the definitions of AUM that may be set forth in agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages and is not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.

In this report, the term “fee paying assets under management,” or “FPAUM”, represents only those assets under management from which KKR receives fees. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into the capital base upon which KKR earns management fees. This relates to KKR’s capital raising activities and the overall activity in its investment funds and vehicles, for only those funds and vehicles where KKR receives fees (i.e., excluding vehicles that receive only carried interest or general partner capital). FPAUM is the sum of all of the individual fee bases that are used to calculate KKR’s fees and differs from AUM in the following respects: (i) assets from which KKR does not receive a fee are excluded (i.e., assets with respect to which it receives only carried interest); and (ii) certain assets, primarily in its private equity funds, are reflected based on capital commitments and invested capital as opposed to fair value because fees are not impacted by changes in the fair value of underlying investments.

In this report, the term “fee related earnings,” or “FRE”, is comprised of segment operating revenues less segment operating expenses and is used by management as an alternative measurement of the operating earnings of KKR and its business segments before investment income. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into the operating profitability of our fee generating management companies and capital markets businesses. The components of FRE on a segment basis differ from the equivalent GAAP amounts on a consolidated basis as a result of: (i) the inclusion of management fees earned from consolidated funds that were eliminated in consolidation; (ii) the exclusion of fees and expenses of certain consolidated entities; (iii) the exclusion of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets; (iv) the exclusion of charges relating to carry pool

allocations; (v) the exclusion of non-cash equity charges and other non-cash compensation charges borne by KKR Holdings or incurred under the KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan; (vi) the exclusion of certain reimbursable expenses; and (vii) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items.

In this report, the term “economic net income (loss),” or “ENI”, is a measure of profitability for KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management as an alternative measurement of the operating and investment earnings of KKR and its business segments. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into the overall profitability of KKR’s businesses inclusive of investment income and carried interest. ENI is comprised of: (i) FRE; plus (ii) segment investment income (loss), which is reduced for carry pool allocations and management fee refunds; less (iii) certain economic interests in KKR’s segments held by third parties. ENI differs from net income (loss) on a GAAP basis as a result of: (i) the exclusion of the items referred to in FRE above; (ii) the exclusion of investment income (loss) relating to noncontrolling interests; and (iii) the exclusion of income taxes.

In this report, “syndicated capital” is the aggregate amount of debt or equity capital in transactions originated by KKR investment funds and vehicles, which has been distributed to third parties in exchange for a fee. It does not include capital committed to such transactions by carry-yielding co-investment vehicles, which is instead reported in committed dollars invested. Syndicated capital is used as a measure of investment activity for KKR and its business segments during a given period, and we believe that this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into levels of syndication activity in KKR’s Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment and across its investment platform.

You should note that our calculations of AUM, FPAUM, FRE, ENI, syndicated capital and other financial measures may differ from the calculations of other investment managers and, as a result, our measurements of AUM, FPAUM, FRE, ENI, syndicated capital and other financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers.

References to “our funds” or “our vehicles” refer to investment funds, vehicles and/or accounts advised, sponsored or managed by one or more subsidiaries of KKR, unless context requires otherwise.

In this report, the term “GAAP” refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this report to our fully diluted common units outstanding, or to our common units outstanding on a fully diluted basis, reflect (i) actual common units outstanding, (ii) common units into which KKR Group Partnership Units not held by us are exchangeable pursuant to the terms of the exchange agreement described in this report and (iii) common units issuable pursuant to any equity awards actually issued under the KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as our “Equity Incentive Plan,” but do not reflect common units available for issuance pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan for which grants have not yet been made.

1. ORGANIZATION

KKR & Co. L.P. (NYSE:KKR), together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“KKR”), is a leading global investment firm that offers a broad range of investment management services to investors and provides capital markets services for the firm, its portfolio companies and third parties. Led by Henry Kravis and George Roberts, KKR conducts business with offices around the world, which provides a global platform for sourcing transactions, raising capital and carrying out capital markets activities. KKR operates as a single professional services firm and carries out its investment activities under the KKR brand name.

KKR & Co. L.P. was formed as a Delaware limited partnership on June 25, 2007 and its general partner is KKR Management LLC (the “Managing Partner”). KKR & Co. L.P. is the parent company of KKR Group Limited, which is the non-economic general partner of KKR Group Holdings L.P. (“Group Holdings”), and KKR & Co. L.P. is the sole limited partner of Group Holdings. Group Holdings holds a controlling economic interest in each of (i) KKR Management Holdings L.P. (“Management Holdings”) through KKR Management Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation which is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (ii) KKR Fund Holdings L.P. (“Fund Holdings” and together with Management Holdings, the “KKR Group Partnerships”) directly and through KKR Fund Holdings GP Limited, a Cayman Island limited company which is a disregarded entity for U.S federal income tax purposes. Group Holdings also owns certain economic interests in Management Holdings through a wholly owned Delaware corporate subsidiary of KKR Management Holdings Corp. and certain economic interests in Fund Holdings through a Delaware partnership of which Group Holdings is the general partner with a 99% economic interest and KKR Management Holdings Corp. is a limited partner with a 1% economic interest. KKR & Co. L.P., through its indirect controlling economic interests in the KKR Group Partnerships, is the holding partnership for the KKR business.

KKR & Co. L.P. both indirectly controls the KKR Group Partnerships and indirectly holds equity units in each KKR Group Partnership (collectively, “KKR Group Partnership Units”) representing economic interests in KKR’s business. The remaining KKR Group Partnership Units are held by KKR’s principals through KKR Holdings L.P. (“KKR Holdings”), which is not a subsidiary of KKR. As of June 30, 2012, KKR & Co. L.P. held 34.8% of the KKR Group Partnership Units and KKR’s principals held 65.2% of the KKR Group Partnership Units through KKR Holdings. The percentage ownership in the KKR Group Partnerships will continue to change as KKR Holdings and/or KKR’s principals exchange units in the KKR Group Partnerships for KKR & Co. L.P. common units.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of KKR & Co. L.P. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including these notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments

(consisting of only normal recurring items) such that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements included in KKR & Co. L.P.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements (referred to hereafter as the “financial statements”) include the accounts of KKR’s management and capital markets companies, the general partners of certain unconsolidated funds, general partners of consolidated funds and their respective consolidated funds (the “KKR Funds”) and certain other entities.

KKR & Co. L.P. consolidates the financial results of the KKR Group Partnerships and their consolidated subsidiaries. KKR Holdings’ ownership interest in the KKR Group Partnerships is reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying financial statements.

References in the accompanying financial statements to KKR’s “principals” are to KKR’s senior employees and non-employee operating consultants who hold interests in KKR’s business through KKR Holdings, including those principals who also hold interests in the Managing Partner entitling those principals to vote for the election of the managing partners’ directors (the “Senior Principals”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of fees, expenses and investment income (loss) during the reporting periods. Such estimates include but are not limited to the valuation of investments and financial instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial statements.

Consolidation

General

KKR consolidates (i) those entities in which it holds a majority voting interest or has majority ownership and control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity, including the KKR Funds in which KKR, as general partner, is presumed to have control, or (ii) entities determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which KKR is considered the primary beneficiary.

With respect to the consolidated KKR Funds, KKR generally has operational discretion and control, and limited partners have no substantive rights to impact ongoing governance and operating activities of the fund. The KKR Funds are consolidated by KKR notwithstanding the fact that KKR has only a minority economic interest in those funds. KKR’s financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, fees, expenses, investment income (loss) and cash flows of the consolidated KKR Funds on a gross basis, and the majority of the economic interests in those funds, which are held by third party investors, are attributed to noncontrolling interests in the accompanying financial statements. All of the management fees and certain other amounts earned by KKR from those funds are eliminated in consolidation. However, because the eliminated amounts are earned from, and funded by, noncontrolling interests, KKR’s attributable share of the net income (loss) from those funds is increased by the amounts eliminated. Accordingly, the elimination in consolidation of such amounts has no effect on net income (loss) attributable to KKR or KKR partners’ capital.

The KKR Funds are, for GAAP purposes, investment companies and therefore are not required to consolidate their majority owned and controlled investments in portfolio companies (“Portfolio Companies”). Rather, KKR reflects their investments in Portfolio Companies at fair value as described below.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Variable Interest Entities

KKR consolidates all VIEs in which it is considered the primary beneficiary. An enterprise is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it has a controlling financial interest under GAAP. A controlling financial interest is defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s business and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. The

consolidation rules which were revised effective January 1, 2010 require an analysis to (a) determine whether an entity in which KKR has a variable interest is a VIE and (b) whether KKR’s involvement, through the holding of equity interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests unrelated to the holding of equity interests, would give it a controlling financial interest under GAAP. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment. Where KKR has an interest in an entity that has qualified for the deferral of the consolidation rules, the analysis is based on consolidation rules prior to January 1, 2010. These rules require an analysis to (a) determine whether an entity in which KKR has a variable interest is a VIE and (b) whether KKR’s involvement, through the holding of equity interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests would be expected to absorb a majority of the variability of the entity. Under both guidelines, KKR determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion at each reporting date. In evaluating whether KKR is the primary beneficiary, KKR evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly by KKR or indirectly through related parties. The consolidation analysis can generally be performed qualitatively; however, if it is not readily apparent that KKR is not the primary beneficiary, a quantitative analysis may also be performed. Investments and redemptions (either by KKR, affiliates of KKR or third parties) or amendments to the governing documents of the respective entities could affect an entity’s status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary. At each reporting date, KKR assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary and will consolidate or deconsolidate accordingly. KKR’s accounting conclusion under the existing consolidation rules determined that effective January 1, 2011, KKR became the primary beneficiary of certain entities and consolidated such entities that were unconsolidated prior to that date.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the maximum exposure to loss for those VIEs in which KKR is determined not to be the primary beneficiary but in which it has a variable interest is as follows:

	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Investments	$	58,217	$	61,053
Due from Affiliates, net	1,632		2,095
Maximum Exposure to Loss	$	59,849	$	63,148

For those unconsolidated VIEs in which KKR is the sponsor, KKR may have an obligation as general partner to provide commitments to such funds. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, KKR did not provide any support other than its obligated amount.

KKR’s investment strategies differ by investment fund; however, the fundamental risks have similar characteristics, including loss of invested capital and loss of management fees and carried interests. Accordingly, disaggregation of KKR’s involvement with VIEs would not provide more useful information.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests represent noncontrolling interests of certain investment vehicles and funds that are subject to periodic redemption by investors following the expiration of a specified period of time (typically between one and three years), or may be withdrawn subject to a redemption fee during the period when capital may not be otherwise withdrawn. Limited partner interests subject to redemption as described above are presented as Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and presented as Net Income (Loss) attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. When redeemable amounts become legally payable to investors, they are classified as a liability and included in Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. For all consolidated investment vehicles and funds in which redemption rights have not been granted, noncontrolling interests are presented within Partners’ Capital in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as Noncontrolling Interests.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent (i) noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities and (ii) noncontrolling interests held by KKR Holdings.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Entities

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represent the non-redeemable ownership interests in KKR that are held primarily by:

(i) third party investors in the KKR Funds;

(ii) a former principal and such person’s designees representing an aggregate of 1% of the carried interest received by the general partners of KKR’s funds and 1% of KKR’s other profits (losses) until a future date;

(iii) certain of KKR’s former principals and their designees representing a portion of the carried interest received by the general partners of KKR’s private equity funds that was allocated to them with respect to private equity investments made during such former principals’ previous tenure with KKR;

(iv) certain of KKR’s current and former principals representing all of the capital invested by or on behalf of the general partners of KKR’s private equity funds prior to October 1, 2009 and any returns thereon; and

(v) a third party in KKR’s capital markets business (representing an aggregate of 2% of the capital markets business equity).

Noncontrolling Interests held by KKR Holdings

Noncontrolling interests held by KKR Holdings include economic interests held by KKR’s principals in the KKR Group Partnerships. KKR’s principals receive financial benefits from KKR’s business in the form of distributions received from KKR Holdings and through their direct and indirect participation in the value of KKR Group Partnership Units held by KKR Holdings. These financial benefits are not paid by KKR and are borne by KKR Holdings.

The following table presents the calculation of Noncontrolling interests held by KKR Holdings:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Balance at the beginning of the period	$	4,560,614		$	4,687,568		$	4,342,157		$	4,346,388
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests held by KKR Holdings (a)	292,833			128,026			697,024			536,930
Other comprehensive income (b)	(6,863		)	(107		)	(4,193		)	1,073

Balance at the end of the period	$	4,795,697		$	4,727,983		$	4,795,697		$	4,727,983

(a) Refer to the table below for calculation of Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests held by KKR Holdings.

(b) Calculated on a pro rata basis based on the weighted average KKR Group Partnership Units held by KKR Holdings during the reporting period.

(c) Calculated based on the proportion of KKR Holdings units exchanged for KKR & Co. L.P. common units pursuant to the exchange agreement during the reporting period. The exchange agreement provides for the exchange of KKR Group Partnership Units held by KKR Holdings for KKR & Co. L.P. common units.

Income (loss) attributable to KKR after allocation to noncontrolling interests held by KKR Holdings, with the exception of certain tax assets and liabilities that are directly allocable to KKR Management Holdings Corp., is attributed based on the percentage of the weighted average KKR Group Partnership Units held by KKR and KKR Holdings, each of which hold equity of the KKR Group Partnerships. However, primarily because of the contribution of certain expenses borne entirely by KKR Holdings as well as the periodic exchange of KKR Holdings units for KKR & Co. L.P. common units pursuant to the exchange agreement, the equity allocations shown in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity differ from their respective pro-rata ownership interests in KKR’s net assets.

The following table presents the calculation of Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests held by KKR Holdings:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011

Net income (loss)	$	1,505,143	$	1,182,403	$	4,477,118	$	3,499,844

Plus: Income taxes attributable to KKR Management Holdings Corp.	7,773		20,879		21,117		47,230
Net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. and KKR Holdings	$	446,867	$	188,526	$	1,054,838	$	783,346

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests held by KKR Holdings (a)	$	292,833	$	128,026	$	697,024	$	536,930

(a) Net income (loss) attributable to KKR Holdings is based on the weighted average KKR Group Partnership Units held by KKR Holdings during the reporting period.

Investments

Investments consist primarily of private equity, fixed income, and other investments. Investments are carried at their estimated fair values, with unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected as a component of Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Investments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are valued based on the spot rate of the respective currency at the end of the reporting period with changes related to exchange rate movements reflected as a component of Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Security and loan transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Further disclosure on investments is presented in Note 4, “Investments.”

Private Equity - Consists primarily of investments in Portfolio Companies of KKR Funds and investments in infrastructure, natural resources and real estate.

Fixed Income - Consists primarily of investments in below investment grade corporate debt securities (primarily high yield bonds and syndicated bank loans), distressed and opportunistic debt and interests in collateralized loan obligations.

Other — Consists primarily of investments in common stock, preferred stock, warrants and options of companies that are not private equity or fixed income investments.

Securities Sold Short

Whether part of a hedging transaction or a transaction in its own right, securities sold short, represent obligations of KKR to deliver the specified security at the contracted price at a future point in time, and thereby create a liability to repurchase the security in the market at the prevailing prices. The liability for such securities sold short is marked to market based on the current fair value of the underlying security at the reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as unrealized gains or losses in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. These transactions may involve a market risk in excess of the amount currently reflected in the accompanying statements of financial condition.

Derivatives

Derivative contracts include forward, swap and option contracts related to foreign currencies and credit standing of reference entities to manage foreign exchange risk and credit risk arising from certain assets and liabilities. All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. KKR’s derivate financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. KKR attempts to minimize this risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions with strong credit ratings.

Fair Value Measurements

Investments and other financial instruments are measured and carried at fair value. The majority of investments and other financial instruments are held by the consolidated KKR Funds. The KKR Funds are, for GAAP purposes, investment companies and reflect their investments and other financial instruments at fair value. KKR has retained the specialized accounting for the consolidated KKR Funds in consolidation. Accordingly, the unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the investments held by the KKR Funds are reflected as a component of Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For investments and certain other financial instruments that are not held in a consolidated KKR Fund, KKR has elected the fair value option since these investments and other financial instruments are similar to those in the consolidated KKR Funds. Such election is irrevocable and is applied on an investment by investment basis at initial recognition. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are reflected as a component of Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The methodology for measuring the fair value of such investments and other financial instruments is consistent with the methodologies applied to investments and other financial instruments that are held in consolidated KKR Funds.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, cash and cash equivalents held at consolidated entities, restricted cash and cash equivalents, due from / to affiliates, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. KKR’s debt obligations, except for KKR’s Senior Notes, bear interest at floating rates and therefore fair value approximates carrying value. Further information on KKR’s Senior Notes is presented in Note 8, “Debt Obligations.” The fair value for KKR’s Senior Notes was derived using Level II inputs similar to those utilized in valuing fixed income investments.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve varying levels of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on a variety of factors. See Note 5, “Fair Value Measurements” for further information on KKR’s valuation techniques that involve unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the statements of financial condition are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined under GAAP, are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets and liabilities. The hierarchical levels defined under GAAP are as follows from highest to lowest:

Level I

Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The type of investments and other financial instruments included in this category are publicly-listed equities and debt, and securities sold short.

Level II

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level II inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. The type of investments and other financial instruments included in this category are fixed income investments, convertible debt securities indexed to publicly-listed securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives.

Level III

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. KKR’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset.

A significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability is an indication that transactions or quoted prices may not be representative of fair value because in such market conditions there may be increased instances of transactions that are not orderly. In those circumstances, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value.

The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of instrument, whether the instrument has recently been issued, whether the instrument is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and current market conditions. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by KKR in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level III. The variability and availability of the observable inputs affected by the factors described above may cause transfers between Levels I, II, and III, which KKR recognizes at the beginning of the reporting period.

Investments and other financial instruments that have readily observable market prices (such as those traded on a securities exchange) are stated at the last quoted sales price as of the reporting date. KKR does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where KKR holds a large position and a sale could reasonably affect the quoted price.

Level II Valuation Methodologies

Financial assets and liabilities categorized as Level II consist primarily of debt securities indexed to publicly-listed securities and fixed income and other investments. Fixed income investments generally have bid and ask prices that can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that KKR and others are willing to pay for an asset. Ask prices represent the lowest price that KKR and others are willing to accept for an asset. For financial assets and liabilities whose inputs are based on bid-ask prices obtained from third party pricing services, fair value may not always be a predetermined point in the bid-ask range. KKR’s policy is to allow for mid-market pricing and adjusting to the point within the bid-ask range that meets KKR’s best estimate of fair value. For debt securities indexed to publicly listed securities, such as convertible debt, the securities are typically valued using standard convertible security pricing models. The key inputs into these models that require some amount of judgment are the credit spreads utilized and the volatility assumed. To the extent the company being valued has other outstanding debt securities that are publicly-traded, the implied credit spread on the company’s other outstanding debt securities would be utilized in the valuation. To the extent the company being valued does not have other outstanding debt securities that are publicly-traded, the credit spread will be estimated based on the implied credit spreads observed in comparable publicly-traded debt securities. In certain cases, an additional spread will be added to reflect an illiquidity discount due to the fact that the security being valued is not publicly-traded. The volatility assumption is based upon the historically observed volatility of the underlying equity security into which the convertible debt security is convertible and/or the volatility implied by the prices of options on the underlying equity security.

Level III Valuation Methodologies

The valuation methodologies used for the assets that are valued using Level III of the fair value hierarchy are described below.

Private Equity Investments: KKR generally employs two valuation methodologies when determining the fair value of a private equity investment (including infrastructure, natural resources and real estate investments). The first methodology is typically a market comparables analysis that considers key financial inputs and recent public and private transactions and other available measures. The second methodology utilized is typically a discounted cash flow analysis, which incorporates significant assumptions and judgments. Estimates of key inputs used in this methodology include the weighted average cost of capital for the investment and assumed inputs used to calculate terminal values, such as exit EBITDA multiples. Other inputs are also used. Upon completion of the valuations conducted using these methodologies, a weighting is ascribed to each method, and an illiquidity discount is typically applied where appropriate. The ultimate fair value recorded for a particular investment will generally be within a range suggested by the two methodologies.

Fixed Income Investments: Fixed income investments are valued using values obtained from dealers or market makers, and where these values are not available, fixed income investments are valued by KKR using internally developed valuation models. Valuation models are based on discounted cash flow analyses, for which the key inputs are determined based on market comparables, which incorporate similar instruments from similar issuers.

Other Investments: Other investments primarily represent privately-held equity and equity-like securities (e.g. warrants) in companies that are not private equity or fixed income investments. KKR generally employs the same valuation methodologies as described above for private equity investments when valuing these other investments.

Key unobservable inputs that have a significant impact on KKR’s Level III investment valuations as described above are included in Note 5 “Fair Value Measurements.” KKR utilizes several unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions in determining the fair value of its Level III investments. These unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions may differ by investment and in the application of KKR’s valuation methodologies. KKR’s reported fair value estimates could vary materially if KKR had chosen to incorporate different unobservable pricing inputs and other assumptions or, for applicable investments, if KKR only used either the discounted cash flow methodology or the market comparables methodology instead of assigning a weighting to both methodologies.

Level III Valuation Process

The valuation process involved for Level III measurements for private equity, fixed income, and other investments is completed on a quarterly basis and is designed to subject the valuation of Level III investments to an appropriate level of consistency, oversight, and review. KKR has a valuation committee for private equity investments and a valuation committee for fixed income and other investments. The private equity valuation committee may be assisted by subcommittees in the valuation of natural resources and real estate investments. Each of the private equity valuation committee and the fixed income valuation committee is assisted by a valuation team, which is comprised only of employees who are not investment professionals responsible for preparing preliminary valuations or for oversight of any of the investments being valued. The valuation committees and teams are responsible for coordinating and consistently implementing KKR’s quarterly valuation policies, guidelines and processes. For investments classified as Level III, investment professionals prepare preliminary valuations based on their evaluation of financial and operating data, company specific developments, market valuations of comparable companies and other factors. These preliminary valuations are reviewed with the investment professionals by the applicable valuation team and are also reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by KKR to perform certain procedures in order to assess the reasonableness of KKR’s valuations for all Level III investments, except for certain investments other than KKR private equity investments. All preliminary valuations are then reviewed by the applicable valuation committee, and after reflecting any input by their respective valuation committees, the preliminary valuations are presented to a single committee consisting of Senior Principals involved in various aspects of the KKR business. When these valuations are approved by this single committee after reflecting any input from it, the valuations are presented to the audit committee of KKR’s board of directors and are then reported on to the board of directors.

Fees

Fees consist primarily of (i) monitoring and consulting fees from providing advisory and other services, (ii) management and incentive fees from providing investment management services to unconsolidated funds, a specialty finance company, structured finance and other vehicles, and separately managed accounts, and (iii) transaction fees earned in connection with successful investment transactions and from capital markets activities. These fees are based on the contractual terms of the governing agreements and are recognized when earned, which coincides with the period during which the related services are performed.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, fees consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Transaction Fees	$	43,460	$	34,162	$	87,122	$	120,827
Monitoring & Consulting Fees	44,277		48,486		87,047		162,230
Management Fees	20,566		18,818		40,771		38,239
Incentive Fees	4,057		16,146		13,727		28,159
Total Fee Income	$	112,360	$	117,612	$	228,667	$	349,455

Transaction Fees

Transaction fees are earned by KKR primarily in connection with successful investment transactions and capital markets activities. Transaction fees are recognized upon closing of the transaction. Fees are typically paid on or around the closing of a transaction.

In connection with pursuing successful Portfolio Company investments, KKR receives reimbursement for certain transaction-related expenses. Transaction-related expenses, which are reimbursed by third parties, are typically deferred until the transaction is consummated and are recorded in Other Assets on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition on the date incurred. The costs of successfully completed transactions are borne by the KKR Funds and included as a component of the investment’s cost basis. Subsequent to closing, investments are recorded at fair value each reporting period as described in the section above titled “Investments”. Upon reimbursement from a third party, the cash receipt is recorded and the deferred amounts are relieved. No fees or expenses are recorded for these reimbursements.

Monitoring and Consulting Fees

Monitoring fees are earned by KKR for services provided to Portfolio Companies and are recognized as services are rendered. These fees are generally paid based on a fixed periodic schedule by the Portfolio Companies either in advance or in arrears and are separately negotiated for each Portfolio Company.

In connection with the monitoring of Portfolio Companies and certain unconsolidated funds, KKR receives reimbursement for certain expenses incurred on behalf of these entities. Costs incurred in monitoring these entities are classified as general, administrative and other expenses and reimbursements of such costs are classified as monitoring fees.

Consulting fees are earned by certain consolidated entities for consulting services provided to Portfolio Companies and other companies and are recognized as the services are rendered. These fees are separately negotiated with each company for which services are provided.

Management Fees

Management fees are earned by KKR for management services provided to private equity funds, other investment vehicles, structured finance vehicles, separately managed accounts and a specialty finance company which are recognized in the period during which the related services are performed in accordance with the contractual terms of the related agreement. Management fees earned from private equity funds and certain investment vehicles are based upon a percentage of capital committed during the investment period, and thereafter based on remaining invested capital. For certain other investment vehicles, structured finance vehicles, separately managed accounts and a specialty finance vehicle, management fees are recognized in the period during which the related services are performed and are based upon the net asset value, gross assets or as otherwise defined in the respective agreements.

Management fees received from consolidated KKR Funds are eliminated in consolidation. However, because these amounts are funded by, and earned from, noncontrolling interests, KKR’s allocated share of the net income from consolidated KKR Funds is increased by the amount of fees that are eliminated. Accordingly, the elimination of these fees does not have an effect on the net income (loss) attributable to KKR or KKR partners’ capital.

Incentive Fees

KKR’s management agreement with a specialty finance company entitles KKR to quarterly incentive fees. The incentive fees are calculated and paid quarterly in arrears and are not subject to any hurdle or clawback provisions. The management agreement with the specialty finance company was renewed on January 1, 2012 and will automatically be renewed for successive one-year terms following December 31, 2012 unless the agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and Benefits expense includes cash compensation consisting of salaries, bonuses, and benefits, as well as equity based compensation consisting of charges associated with the vesting of equity-based awards and carry pool allocations.

All KKR principals and other employees of certain consolidated entities receive a base salary that is paid by KKR or its consolidated entities, and is accounted for as Compensation and Benefits expense. These employees are also eligible to receive discretionary cash bonuses based on performance, overall profitability and other matters. While cash bonuses paid to most employees are funded by KKR and certain consolidated entities and result in customary Compensation and Benefits expense, cash bonuses that are paid to certain of KKR’s most senior employees are funded by KKR Holdings with distributions that it receives on its KKR Group Partnership Units. To the extent that distributions received by these individuals exceed the amounts that they are otherwise entitled to through their vested units in KKR Holdings, this excess is funded by KKR Holdings and reflected in Compensation and Benefits in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Further disclosure regarding equity based compensation is presented in Note 10 “Equity Based Compensation.”

Carried Interest

that cumulative investment returns are positive and where applicable, preferred return thresholds have been met. If these investment returns decrease or turn negative in subsequent periods, recognized carried interest will be reversed and reflected as investment losses in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Carried interest is recognized based on the contractual formula set forth in the agreements governing the fund as if the fund was terminated at the reporting date with the then estimated fair values of the investments realized. Due to the extended durations of KKR’s private equity funds and other investment vehicles, KKR believes that this approach results in income recognition that best reflects the periodic performance of KKR in the management of those funds. See Note 12 “Segment Reporting” for the amount of carried interest income earned or reversed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

The agreements governing KKR’s private equity funds generally include a “clawback” or, in certain instances, a “net loss sharing” provision that, if triggered, may give rise to a contingent obligation that may require the general partner to return or contribute amounts to the fund for distribution to investors at the end of the life of the fund. See Note 13 “Commitments and Contingencies”.

Carry Pool Allocation

With respect to KKR’s active and future funds and co-investment vehicles that provide for carried interest, KKR will allocate to its principals and other professionals a portion of the carried interest earned in relation to these funds as part of its carry pool. KKR currently allocates approximately 40% of the carry it earns from these funds and vehicles to its carry pool. These amounts are accounted for as compensatory profit-sharing arrangements in conjunction with the related carried interest income and recorded as compensation expense for KKR employees and general, administrative and other expense for certain non-employee consultants and service providers in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Carry pool allocations totaled $112.6 million and $79.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $304.1 million and $219.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Certain exchanges of KKR Group Partnership Units from KKR Holdings or transferees of its KKR Group Partnership Units for KKR & Co. L.P. common units may occur pursuant to KKR’s exchange agreement. These exchanges are expected to result in an increase in KKR Management Holdings Corp.’s and its corporate subsidiary’s share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of KKR Management Holdings, a portion of which is attributable to the goodwill inherent in our business, that would not otherwise have been available. This increase in tax basis may increase depreciation and amortization for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore reduce the amount of income tax that our intermediate holding companies would otherwise be required to pay in the future. KKR & Co. L.P. entered into a tax receivable agreement with KKR Holdings pursuant to which our intermediate holding companies will be required to pay to KKR Holdings or transferees of its KKR Group Partnership Units 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income taxes that the intermediate holding companies actually realize as a result of this increase in tax basis, as well as 85% of the amount of any such savings the intermediate holding companies actually realize as a result of increases in tax basis that arise due to payments under the tax receivable agreement. Although KKR is not aware of any issue that would cause the IRS to challenge a tax basis increase, neither KKR Holdings nor its transferees will reimburse KKR for any payments previously made under the tax receivable agreement if such tax basis increase, or the benefits of such increases, were successfully challenged. Payments made under the tax receivable agreement are required to be made within 90 days of the filing of the tax return of KKR Management Holdings Corp. As of June 30, 2012, approximately $0.2 million of cumulative cash payments have been made under the tax receivable agreement. No amounts were paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

KKR records any changes in basis as a deferred tax asset and the liability for any corresponding payments as amounts due to affiliates, with a corresponding net adjustment to equity at the time of exchange. KKR records any benefit of the reduced income tax the intermediate holding companies may recognize as such benefit is recognized.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2012, KKR adopted ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU specifies that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets or liabilities. The amendments include requirements specific to measuring the fair value of those instruments, such as equity interests used as consideration in a business combination. An entity should measure the fair value of its own equity instrument from the perspective of a market participant that holds the instrument as an asset. With respect to financial instruments that are managed as part of a portfolio, an exception to fair value requirements is provided. That exception permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of such financial assets and financial liabilities at a price that would be received to sell a net asset position for a particular risk or to transfer a net liability position for a particular risk in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The amendments also clarify that premiums and discounts should only be applied if market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability. Premiums and discounts related to the size of an

entity’s holding (e.g., a blockage factor) rather than as a characteristic of the asset or liability (e.g., a control premium) is not permitted in a fair value measurement.

The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements, including, among other things, (a) for fair value measurements categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy, (1) a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement, (2) the valuation process used by the reporting entity, and (3) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, if any, and (b) the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed (for example, a financial instrument that is measured at amortized cost in the statement of financial position but for which fair value is disclosed). The guidance also amends disclosure requirements for significant transfers between Level I and Level II and requires disclosure of all transfers between Levels I and II in the fair value hierarchy. As a result of adopting ASU 2011-04, KKR expanded its fair value disclosures. See section “Fair Value Measurements” above and Note 5 “Fair Value Measurements.”

On January 1, 2012, KKR adopted ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income. The ASU provides an entity with an option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied on a retrospective basis. KKR has adopted the presentation of total comprehensive income in two consecutive statements. See the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

3. NET GAINS (LOSSES) FROM INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations consist primarily of the realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments (including foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to foreign denominated investments and related activities) and other financial instruments, including those for which the fair value option has been elected. Unrealized gains or losses result from changes in the fair value of these investments and other financial instruments during a period. Upon disposition of an investment or financial instrument, previously recognized unrealized gains or losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period.

The following table summarizes total Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2012						Three Months Ended June 30, 2011						Six Months Ended June 30, 2012						Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

The Transfers Out noted above for fixed income and other investments are principally attributable to certain investments that experienced a significant level of market activity during the period and thus were valued using observable inputs.

Total realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded for Level III investments are reported in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no transfers between Level I and Level II during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The following table presents additional information about valuation methodologies and inputs used for investments that are measured at fair value and categorized within Level III as of June 30, 2012:

(1) In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments, market valuations of comparable companies and company specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. Management has determined that market participants would take these inputs into account when valuing the investments. LTM means Last Twelve Months and EBITDA means Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization.

(2) Inputs were weighted based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.

(3) Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level III investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.

(4) The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the market comparables approach would increase the fair value of the Level III investments if the market comparables approach results in a higher valuation than the discounted cash flow approach. The opposite would be true if the market comparables approach results in a lower valuation than the discounted cash flow approach.

(5) The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the discounted cash flow approach would increase the fair value of the Level III investments if the discounted cash flow approach results in a higher valuation than the market comparables approach. The opposite would be true if the discounted cash flow approach results in a lower valuation than the market comparables approach.

(6) All private equity investments are assigned a minimum 5% illiquidity discount, with the exception of investments in KKR’s natural resources strategy.

(7) Ranges shown exclude inputs relating to a single portfolio company that was determined to lack comparability with other investments in KKR’s private equity portfolio. This portfolio company had a fair value representing less than 0.5% of the total fair value of Private Equity Investments and had an Enterprise Value/LTM EBITDA Multiple and Enterprise Value/Forward EBITDA Multiple of 23x and 17x, respectively. The exclusion of this investment does not impact the weighted average.

(8) Level III private equity investments whose valuations include a control premium represent less than 5% of total Level III private equity investments. The valuations for the remaining investments do not include a control premium.

(9) Amounts exclude $81.4 million of investments in real assets whose valuation inputs are not comparable to other private equity investments. These investments have a fair value representing less than 1% of the total fair value of private equity investments.

(10) Amounts exclude $251.1 million of investments that were valued using dealer quotes or third party valuation firms.

The table above excludes Other Investments in the amount of $140.0 million comprised primarily of privately-held equity and equity-like securities (e.g. warrants) in companies that are neither private equity nor fixed income investments. These investments were valued using Level III valuation methodologies that are generally the same as those shown for private equity investments.

The various unobservable inputs used to determine the Level III valuations may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement as noted in the table above.

6. EARNINGS PER COMMON UNIT

Basic earnings per common unit are calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) Attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. by the total weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per common unit is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) Attributable to KKR & Co. L.P. by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period increased to include the weighted average number of additional common units that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common units had been issued.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, basic and diluted earnings per common unit were calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended				Six Months Ended

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, KKR Holdings units have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common unit given that the exchange of these units would proportionally increase KKR & Co. L.P.’s interests in the KKR Group Partnerships and would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common unit as a result of certain tax benefits KKR & Co. L.P. is assumed to receive upon the exchange.

Investment Financing Arrangements

Certain of KKR’s investment vehicles have entered into financing arrangements with major financial institutions, generally in connection with specific investments with the objective of enhancing returns. These financing arrangements are generally not direct obligations of the general partners of KKR’s investment vehicles or its management companies.

Approximately $796.4 million of financing was structured through the use of total return swaps which effectively convert third party capital contributions into borrowings of KKR. During May 2012, KKR entered into an agreement for an early redemption of one such financing arrangement. The terms of the agreement included a full repayment of the financing arrangement at par, which amounted to $625.0 million.

The remaining financing structured through the use of total return swaps of approximately $171.4 million is set to expire in October 2012 in connection with the maturity of the underlying investment. Upon the occurrence of certain events, including an event based on the value of the collateral and events of default, KKR may be required to provide additional collateral plus accrued interest, under the terms of the financing arrangement. As of June 30, 2012, the per annum rate of interest payable for the financing was 3.04%. This financing arrangement is non-recourse to KKR beyond the specific assets pledged as collateral.

Approximately $182.2 million of financing was structured through the use of a syndicated term and a revolving credit facility (the “Term Facility”) that matures in August 2014. The per annum rate of interest for each borrowing under the Term Facility was equal to the Bloomberg United States Dollar Interest Rate Swap Ask Rate plus 1.75% at the time of each borrowing under the Term Facility through March 11, 2010. On March 11, 2010, the Term Facility was amended and the per annum rate of interest is the greater of the 5-Year interest rate swap rate plus 1.75% or 4.65% for periods from March 12, 2010 to June 7, 2012. For the period June 8, 2012 through maturity the interest rate is equal to one year LIBOR plus 1.75%. The interest rates at June 30, 2012 on the borrowings outstanding ranged from 2.22% to 4.65%. This financing arrangement is non-recourse to KKR beyond the specific assets pledged as collateral.

In April 2011, one of KKR’s private equity investment vehicles entered into a revolving credit facility with a major financial institution (the “Revolver Facility”) with respect to a specific private equity investment. The Revolver Facility provides for up to $50.1 million of financing and matures on the first anniversary of the agreement. Upon the occurrence of certain events, including an event based on the value of the collateral and events of default, KKR may be required to provide additional collateral. KKR has the option to extend the agreement for an additional two years provided the value of the investment meets certain defined financial ratios. On April 5, 2012, an agreement was made to extend the maturity of the Revolver Facility to April 4, 2014. In addition, KKR may request to increase the commitment to the Revolver Facility up to $75.1 million, subject to lender approval and provided the value of the investment meets certain defined financial ratios. The per annum rate of interest for each borrowing under the Revolver Facility is equal to the Hong Kong interbank market rate plus 3.75%. The interest rate at June 30, 2012 on the borrowings outstanding was 4.30%. As of June 30, 2012, $40.8 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Revolver Facility. This financing arrangement is non-recourse to KKR beyond the specific assets pledged as collateral.

During May 2011, a KKR investment vehicle entered into a $200.0 million non-recourse multi-currency three-year revolving credit agreement that bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% (the “Mezzanine Investment Credit Agreement”). The Mezzanine Investment Credit Agreement is expected to be used to manage timing differences between capital calls from limited partners in the investment vehicle and funding of investment opportunities and to borrow in foreign currencies for purposes of hedging the foreign currency risk of non-U.S. dollar investments. On June 18, 2012, an agreement was made to extend the maturity of the Mezzanine Investment Credit Agreement to May 15, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, $52.0 million was drawn down and $93.9 million was repaid. As of June 30, 2012, $5.5 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Mezzanine Investment Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2012, the interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Mezzanine Investment Credit Agreement was 3.37%. This financing arrangement is non-recourse to KKR beyond the specific assets and capital commitments pledged as collateral.

In November 2011, a KKR investment vehicle entered into a $200.0 million five-year borrowing base revolving credit facility (the “Lending Partners Credit Agreement”). KKR has the option to extend the credit facility for up to two additional years. In

addition, KKR may request to increase the commitment to the credit facility up to $400.0 million when the ratio of the loan commitments to committed equity capital is 1.50:1. On April 2, 2012, KKR increased the commitment to the credit facility to $400.0 million. The per annum rate of interest for each borrowing under the Lending Partners Credit Agreement ranges from LIBOR plus 1.75% for broadly syndicated loans and LIBOR plus 2.75% for all other loans until November 15, 2016 and thereafter, LIBOR plus 4.00% per annum for all loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, $63.2 million was drawn down and $17.3 million was repaid. As of June 30, 2012, $45.9 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Lending Partners Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2012, the interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Lending Partners Credit Agreement was 3.28%. This financing arrangement is non-recourse to KKR beyond the specific assets pledged as collateral.

In December 2011, a KKR investment vehicle entered into a $66.5 million (€50.0 million) one-year borrowing base revolving credit facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% (the “Investment Credit Agreement”). The Investment Credit Agreement is expected to be used to manage timing differences between capital calls and the funding of investment opportunities. As of June 30, 2012, $26.6 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Investment Credit Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, $30.2 million was drawn down. As of June 30, 2012, the interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Investment Credit Agreement was 2.33%. This financing arrangement is non-recourse to KKR beyond the specific assets and capital commitments pledged as collateral.

In January 2012, a KKR investment vehicle entered into a $200.0 million three-year borrowing base revolving credit facility (the “KKR Debt Investors II Investment Credit Agreement”). As of June 30, 2012, $150.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under the KKR Debt Investors II Investment Credit Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, $150.0 million was drawn down. As of June 30, 2012, the interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the KKR Debt Investors II Investment Credit Agreement was 3.50%. This financing arrangement is non-recourse to KKR beyond the specific assets pledged as collateral.

Senior Notes

On September 29, 2010, KKR Group Finance Co. LLC (the “Issuer”), a subsidiary of KKR Management Holdings Corp., issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”), which were issued at a price of 99.584%. The Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and will mature on September 29, 2020, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by KKR & Co. L.P. and the KKR Group Partnerships. The guarantees are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the guarantors.

The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per annum, accruing from September 29, 2010. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 29 and September 29 of each year, commencing on March 29, 2011. Interest expense on the Senior Notes totaled $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of the Senior Notes was $539.7 million.

The indenture, as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, relating to the Senior Notes includes covenants, including limitations on the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ ability to, subject to exceptions, incur indebtedness secured by liens on voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their subsidiaries or merge, consolidate or sell, transfer or lease assets. The indenture, as supplemented, also provides for events of default and further provides that the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes may declare the Senior Notes immediately due and payable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default after expiration of any applicable grace period. In the case of specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or reorganization, the principal amount of the Senior Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes automatically becomes due and payable. All or a portion of the Senior Notes may be redeemed at the Issuer’s option in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, prior to their stated maturity, at the make-whole redemption price set forth in the Senior Notes. If a change of control repurchase event occurs, the Senior Notes are subject to repurchase by the Issuer at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

KKR Revolving Credit Agreements

Corporate Credit Agreement

On February 26, 2008, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. entered into a credit agreement with a major financial institution (the “Corporate Credit Agreement”). The Corporate Credit Agreement originally provided for revolving borrowings of up to $1.0 billion, with a $50.0 million sublimit for swing-line notes and a $25.0 million sublimit for letters of credit.

On February 22, 2011, the parties amended the terms of the Corporate Credit Agreement such that effective March 1, 2011, availability for borrowings under the credit facility was reduced from $1.0 billion to $700.0 million and the maturity was extended to March 1, 2016. In addition, the KKR Group Partnerships became co-borrowers of the facility, and KKR & Co. L.P. and the Issuer of the Senior Notes became guarantors of the amended and restated Corporate Credit Agreement, together with certain general partners of our private equity funds.

On June 3, 2011, the Corporate Credit Agreement was amended to admit a new lender, subject to the same terms and conditions, to provide a commitment of $50.0 million. This commitment has increased the availability for borrowings under the credit facility to $750.0 million. As of June 30, 2012, no borrowings were outstanding under the Corporate Credit Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, no amounts were drawn under the credit facility.

On June 22, 2012, KKR requested the issuance of a letter of credit in the amount of $14.5 million under the Corporate Credit Agreement in connection with a fee-generating transaction. The beneficiary of this letter of credit is an unaffiliated third party. The letter of credit was issued on July 2, 2012 and expires on July 3, 2013. Subsequent to this letter of credit issuance, a $10.5 million sublimit for letters of credit remains available under the Corporate Credit Agreement.

KCM Credit Agreement

On February 27, 2008, KKR Capital Markets entered into a revolving credit agreement with a major financial institution (the “KCM Credit Agreement”) for use in KKR’s capital markets business. The KCM Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for revolving borrowings of up to $500 million with a $500 million sublimit for letters of credit. On March 30, 2012, an agreement was made to extend the maturity of the KCM Credit Agreement from February 27, 2013 to March 30, 2017. In addition to extending the terms, certain other terms of the KCM Credit Agreement were renegotiated including a reduction of the cost of funding on amounts drawn and a reduced commitment fee. Borrowings under this facility may only be used for our capital markets business. As of June 30, 2012, no borrowings were outstanding under the KCM Credit Agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, no amounts were drawn under the credit facility.

9. INCOME TAXES

The KKR Group Partnerships and certain of their subsidiaries are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and as corporate entities in non-U.S. jurisdictions. Accordingly, these entities in some cases are subject to New York City unincorporated business tax or non-U.S. income taxes. In addition, certain of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of KKR are subject to federal, state and local income taxes.

KKR’s effective tax rate was 0.73% and 2.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and 0.63% and 1.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. KKR’s income tax provision was $11.1 million and $25.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $28.2 million and $56.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 substantially due to the following: (a) a substantial amount of the reported net income (loss) before taxes is attributable to noncontrolling interests that hold ownership interests in consolidated entities and noncontrolling interests held by KKR Holdings, (b) certain corporate subsidiaries are subject to federal, state, local and foreign income taxes as applicable and other partnership subsidiaries are subject to New York City unincorporated business taxes, and (c) a portion of the compensation charges attributable to KKR is not deductible for tax purposes.

During the three and six month period ending June 30, 2012, there were no material changes to KKR’s uncertain tax positions. KKR believes that there will not be a significant increase or decrease to the uncertain tax positions within 12 months of the reporting date.

10. EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

The following table summarizes the expense associated with equity based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

KKR Holdings Equity Awards—Principal Awards

KKR principals and certain non-employee consultants and service providers received grants of KKR Holdings units which are exchangeable for KKR Group Partnership Units. These units are subject to minimum retained ownership requirements and in certain cases, transfer restrictions, and allow for their exchange into common units of KKR & Co. L.P. on a one-for-one basis. As of June 30, 2012, KKR Holdings owns approximately 65.2%, or 445,846,715 of the outstanding KKR Group Partnership Units.

Except for any units that vested on the date of grant, units are subject to service based vesting up to a five-year period from the date of grant. The transfer restriction period will generally last for a minimum of (i) one year with respect to one-half of the interests vesting on any vesting date and (ii) two years with respect to the other one-half of the interests vesting on such vesting date. While providing services to KKR, these individuals will also be subject to minimum retained ownership rules requiring them to continuously hold at least 25% of their vested interests. Upon separation from KKR, certain individuals will be subject to the terms of a non-compete agreement that may require the forfeiture of certain vested and unvested units should the terms of the non-compete agreement be violated. Holders of KKR Group Partnership Units held through KKR Holdings are not entitled to participate in distributions made on KKR Group Partnership Units until such units are vested.

Because KKR Holdings is a partnership, all of the 445,846,715 KKR Holdings units have been legally allocated, but the allocation of 26,574,652 of these units has not been communicated to each respective principal. The units that have not been communicated are subject to performance based vesting conditions, which include profitability and other similar criteria. These criteria are not sufficiently specific to constitute performance conditions for accounting purposes, and the achievement, or lack thereof, will be determined based upon the exercise of judgment by the general partner of KKR Holdings. Each principal will ultimately receive between zero and 100% of the units initially allocated. The allocation of these units has not yet been communicated to the award recipients as this was management’s decision on how to best incentivize its principals. It is anticipated that additional service-based vesting conditions will be imposed at the time the allocation is initially communicated to the respective principals. KKR applied the guidance of Accounting Standards Code (“ASC”) 718 and concluded that these KKR Holdings units do not yet meet the criteria for recognition of compensation cost because neither the grant date nor the service inception date has occurred. In reaching a conclusion that the service inception date has not occurred, KKR considered (a) the fact that the vesting conditions are not sufficiently specific to constitute performance conditions for accounting purposes, (b) the significant judgment that can be exercised by the general partner of KKR Holdings in determining whether the vesting conditions are ultimately achieved, and (c) the absence of communication to the principals of any information related to the number of units they were initially allocated. The allocation of these units will be communicated to the award recipients when the performance-based vesting conditions have been met, and currently there is no plan as to when the communication will occur. The determination as to whether the award recipients have satisfied the performance-based vesting conditions is made by the general partner of KKR Holdings, and is based on multiple factors primarily related to the award recipients’ individual performance.

The fair value of KKR Holdings unit grants is based on the closing price of KKR & Co. L.P. common units on the date of grant. KKR determined this to be the best evidence of fair value as a KKR & Co. L.P. common unit is traded in an active market and has an observable market price. Additionally, a KKR Holdings unit is an instrument with terms and conditions similar to those of a KKR & Co. L.P. common unit. Specifically, units in both KKR Holdings and KKR & Co. L.P. represent ownership interests in KKR Group Partnership Units and, subject to any vesting, minimum retained ownership requirements and transfer restrictions referenced above, each KKR Holdings unit is exchangeable into a KKR Group Partnership Unit and then into a KKR & Co. L.P. common unit on a one-for-one basis.

Units granted to principals give rise to equity-based payment charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the grant-date fair value of the award. For units vesting on the grant date, expense is recognized on the date of grant based on the fair value of a KKR & Co. L.P. common unit on the grant date multiplied by the number of vested units. Equity-based payment expense on unvested units is calculated based on the fair value of a KKR & Co. L.P. common unit at the time of grant, discounted for the lack of participation rights in the expected distributions on unvested units, which ranges from 7% to 52%, multiplied by the number of unvested units on the grant date.

Units granted to certain non-employee consultants and service providers give rise to general, administrative and other charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For units vesting on the grant date, expense is recognized on the date of grant based on the fair value of a KKR & Co. L.P. common unit on the grant date multiplied by the number of vested units. General, administrative and other expense recognized on unvested units is calculated based on the fair value of a KKR & Co. L.P. common unit on each reporting date and subsequently adjusted for the actual fair value of the award at each vesting date. Accordingly, the measured value of these units will not be finalized until each vesting date.

The calculation of equity-based payment expense and general administrative and other expense on unvested units assumes a forfeiture rate of up to 10% annually based upon expected turnover by class of principal, consultant, or service provider.

As of June 30, 2012, there was approximately $238.0 million of estimated unrecognized equity-based payment and general administrative and other expense related to unvested awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years, using the graded attribution method, which treats each vesting portion as a separate award.

A summary of the status of KKR’s unvested equity based awards granted to KKR principals from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012 are presented below:

	Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance, January 1, 2012	91,741,793		$	7.66
Granted	7,788,276		9.65
Vested	(2,058,907	)	11.37
Forfeited	(473,401	)	7.86
Balance, June 30, 2012	96,997,761		$	7.74

The weighted average remaining vesting period over which unvested units are expected to vest is 1.4 years.

The following table summarizes the remaining vesting tranches for KKR principals:

KKR Holdings Equity Awards—Restricted Equity Units

Grants of restricted equity units based on KKR Group Partnership Units held by KKR Holdings were made to professionals, support staff, and other personnel. These grants will be funded by KKR Holdings and will not dilute KKR’s interests in the KKR Group Partnerships. The vesting of these restricted equity units occur in installments up to five years from the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2012, there was approximately $6.8 million of estimated unrecognized expense related to unvested awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years, using the graded attribution method, which treats each vesting portion as a separate award.

KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan

Under the KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), KKR is permitted to grant equity awards representing ownership interests in KKR & Co. L.P. common units. Vested awards under the Equity Incentive Plan dilute KKR & Co. L.P. common unit holders and KKR Holdings pro rata in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the KKR Group Partnerships.

The total number of common units that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan is equivalent to 15% of the number of fully diluted common units outstanding, subject to annual adjustment. As of June 30, 2012, equity awards relating to 17,739,032 KKR & Co. L.P. common units have been granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, which generally vest over a period of up to five years from the date of grant. In certain cases, these awards are subject to transfer restrictions and minimum retained ownership requirements. The transfer restriction period, if applicable, lasts for (i) one year with respect to one-half of the interests vesting on any vesting date and (ii) two years with respect to the other one-half of the interests vesting on such vesting date. While providing services to KKR, if applicable, certain of these individuals are also subject to minimum retained ownership rules requiring them to continuously hold common unit equivalents equal to at least 15% of their cumulatively vested interests.

Expense associated with the vesting of these awards is based on the closing price of the KKR & Co. L.P. common units on the date of grant, discounted for the lack of participation rights in the expected distributions on unvested units, which ranges from 7% to 52% multiplied by the number of unvested units on the grant date. Expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the award and assumes a forfeiture rate of up to 10% annually based upon expected turnover by class of recipient.

As of June 30, 2012, there was approximately $121.1 million of estimated unrecognized expense related to unvested awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years, using the straight line method.

A summary of the status of awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012 is presented below:

	Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Balance, January 1, 2012	5,850,184		$	9.69

Discretionary Compensation

Certain KKR principals who hold KKR Group Partnership Units through KKR Holdings are expected to be allocated, on a discretionary basis, distributions on KKR Group Partnership Units received by KKR Holdings. These discretionary allocations allow the principal to receive amounts in excess of their vested equity interests. Because unvested units do not have distribution participation rights, any amounts allocated in excess of a principal’s vested equity interests are reflected as employee compensation and benefits expense. These compensation charges have been recorded based on the unvested portion of quarterly earnings distributions received by KKR Holdings.

KKR Financial Holdings LLC (“KFN”)

KFN is a publicly traded specialty finance company whose limited liability company interests are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “KFN.” KFN is managed by KKR but is not under the common control of the Senior Principals or otherwise consolidated by KKR as control is maintained by third-party investors. KFN was organized in August 2004 and completed its initial public offering on June 24, 2005. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, KFN had consolidated assets of $8.4 billion and $8.6 billion, respectively, and shareholders’ equity of $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Shares of KFN held by KKR represented less than 1% of KFN’s outstanding shares as of June 30, 2012. There were no outstanding shares of KFN held by KKR as of December 31, 2011. If KKR were to exercise all of its outstanding vested options, KKR’s ownership interest in KFN would be less than 1% of KFN’s outstanding shares as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Discretionary Investments

Certain of KKR’s investment professionals, including its principals and other qualifying employees, are permitted to invest, and have invested, their own capital in side-by-side investments with its private equity funds and other investment vehicles. Side-by-side investments are made on the same terms and conditions as those acquired by the applicable fund or investment vehicle, except that the side-by-side investments are not subject to management fees or a carried interest. The cash invested by these individuals aggregated $18.7 million and $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $54.6 million and $30.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These investments are not included in the accompanying financial statements.

Aircraft and Other Services

Certain of the Senior Principals own aircraft that KKR uses for business purposes in the ordinary course of its operations. These Senior Principals paid for the purchase of these aircraft with personal funds and bear all operating, personnel and maintenance costs associated with their operation. The hourly rates that KKR pays for the use of these aircraft are based on current market rates for chartering private aircraft of the same type. KKR incurred $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the use of these aircraft for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $2.5 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Facilities

Certain of the Senior Principals are partners in a real-estate based partnership that maintains an ownership interest in KKR’s Menlo Park location. Payments made to this partnership were $1.7 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $3.4 million and $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

12. SEGMENT REPORTING

KKR operates through three reportable business segments. These segments, which are differentiated primarily by their investment objectives and strategies, consist of the following:

Private Markets

Through the Private Markets segment, KKR manages and sponsors a group of private equity funds and co-investment vehicles that invest capital for long-term appreciation, either through controlling ownership of a company or strategic minority positions. KKR also manages and sources investments in infrastructure, natural resources and real estate. These investment funds, vehicles and accounts are managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., an SEC registered investment adviser.

Public Markets

Through the Public Markets segment, KKR manages KFN, a specialty finance company, as well as a number of investment funds, structured finance vehicles and separately managed accounts that invest capital in (i) leveraged credit strategies, such as leveraged loans and high yield bonds, (ii) liquid long/short equity strategies and (iii) alternative credit strategies such as mezzanine investments, special situations investments and direct senior lending. These funds, vehicles and accounts are managed by KKR Asset Management LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.

Capital Markets and Principal Activities

KKR’s Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment combines KKR’s principal assets with its global capital markets business. KKR’s capital markets business supports the firm, its portfolio companies and select third parties by providing tailored capital markets advice and by developing and implementing both traditional and non-traditional capital solutions for investments and companies seeking financing. KKR’s capital markets services include arranging debt and equity financing for transactions, placing and underwriting securities offerings, structuring new investment products and providing capital markets services. KKR’s principal asset base primarily includes investments in its private equity funds, co-investments in certain portfolio companies of such private equity funds, general partner interests in various KKR-sponsored investment funds, and other assets owned by the firm’s balance sheet.

Key Performance Measures

Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”), Economic Net Income (Loss) (“ENI”) and Book Value are key performance measures used by management. These measures are used by management in making resource deployment and operating decisions as well as assessing the overall performance of each of KKR’s business segments.

FRE

FRE is comprised of segment operating revenues less segment operating expenses and is used by management as an alternative measurement of the operating earnings of KKR and its business segments before investment income. The components of FRE on a segment basis differ from the equivalent GAAP amounts on a consolidated basis as a result of: (i) the inclusion of management fees earned from consolidated funds that were eliminated in consolidation; (ii) the exclusion of fees and expenses of certain consolidated entities; (iii) the exclusion of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets; (iv) the exclusion of charges relating to carry pool allocations; (v) the exclusion of non-cash equity charges and other non-cash compensation charges borne by KKR Holdings or incurred under the Equity Incentive Plan; (vi) the exclusion of certain reimbursable expenses; and (vii) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items.

ENI

ENI is a measure of profitability for KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management as an alternative measurement of the operating and investment earnings of KKR and its business segments. ENI is comprised of: (i) FRE; plus (ii) segment investment income (loss), which is reduced for carry pool allocations and management fee refunds; less (iii) certain economic interests in KKR’s segments held by third parties. ENI differs from net income (loss) on a GAAP basis as a result of: (i) the exclusion of the items referred to in FRE above; (ii) the exclusion of investment income (loss) relating to noncontrolling interests; and (iii) the exclusion of income taxes.

Book Value

Book Value is a measure of the net assets of KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management primarily in assessing the unrealized value of our investment portfolio, including carried interest, as well as KKR’s overall liquidity position. Book value differs from the equivalent GAAP amounts on a consolidated basis primarily as a result of the exclusion of ownership interests in consolidated investment vehicles and other entities that are attributable to noncontrolling interests.

KKR’s reportable segments are presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) between KKR and KKR Holdings and as such represents KKR’s business in total.

The following table presents the financial data for KKR’s reportable segments as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2012:

Book Value	$	927,497		$	61,399		$	5,513,908	$	6,502,804

(1) KKR’s agreements with the limited partners of certain of its investment funds require KKR to share with these limited partners an agreed upon percentage of monitoring and transaction fees received from Portfolio Companies (“Fee Credits”). Limited partners receive Fee Credits only with respect to monitoring and transaction fees that are allocable to the fund’s investment in the Portfolio Company and not, for example, any fees allocable to capital invested through co-investment vehicles. Fee Credits are calculated after deducting certain fund-related expenses and generally amount to 80% of allocable monitoring and transaction fees after fund-related expenses are recovered, although the actual percentage may vary from fund to fund.

(2) With respect to KKR’s active and future investment funds and co-investment vehicles that provide for carried interest, KKR will allocate to its principals, other professionals and selected other individuals who work in these operations a portion of the carried interest earned in relation to these funds as part of its carry pool.

(3) Certain of KKR’s private equity funds require the management company to refund up to 20% of any cash management fees earned from limited partners in the event that the funds recognize a carried interest. At such time as the fund recognizes a carried interest in an amount sufficient to cover 20% of the cash management fees earned or a portion thereof, a liability to the fund’s limited partners is recorded and revenue is reduced for the amount of the carried interest recognized, not to exceed 20% of the cash management fees earned. As of June 30, 2012, the amount subject to refund for which no liability has been recorded approximates $49.0 million as a result of certain funds not yet recognizing sufficient carried interests. The refunds to the limited partners are paid, and the liabilities relieved, at such time that the underlying investments are sold and the associated carried interests are realized. In the event that a fund’s carried interest is not sufficient to cover any of the amount that represents 20% of the cash management fees earned, these fees would not be returned to the funds’ limited partners, in accordance with the respective fund agreements.

(4) Represents economic interests that will (i) allocate to a former principal an aggregate of 1% of profits and losses of KKR’s management companies until a future date and (ii) allocate to a third party investor approximately 2% of the equity in KKR’s capital markets business.

(1) KKR’s agreements with the limited partners of certain of its investment funds require KKR to share with these limited partners an agreed upon percentage of monitoring and transaction fees received from Portfolio Companies. Limited partners receive Fee Credits only with respect to monitoring and transaction fees that are allocable to the fund’s investment in the Portfolio Company and not, for example, any fees allocable to capital invested through co-investment vehicles. Fee Credits are calculated after deducting certain fund-related expenses and generally amount to 80% of allocable monitoring and transaction fees after fund-related expenses are recovered, although the actual percentage may vary from fund to fund.

(3) Certain of KKR’s private equity funds require the management company to refund up to 20% of any cash management fees earned from limited partners in the event that the funds recognize a carried interest. At such time as the fund recognizes a carried interest in an amount sufficient to cover 20% of the cash management fees earned or a portion thereof, a liability to the fund’s limited partners is recorded and revenue is reduced for the amount of the carried interest recognized, not to exceed 20% of the cash management fees earned. As of June 30, 2011, the amount subject to refund for which no liability was recorded was approximately $48.8 million as a result of certain funds not yet recognizing sufficient carried interests. The refunds to the limited partners are paid, and the liabilities relieved, at such time that the underlying investments are sold and the associated carried interests are realized. In the event that a fund’s carried interest is not sufficient to cover any of the amount that represents 20% of the cash management fees earned, these fees would not be returned to the funds’ limited partners, in accordance with the respective fund agreements.

(3) Certain of KKR’s private equity funds require the management company to refund up to 20% of any cash management fees earned from limited partners in the event that the funds recognize a carried interest. At such time as the fund recognizes a carried interest in an amount sufficient to cover 20% of the cash management fees earned or a portion thereof, a liability to the fund’s limited partners is recorded and revenue is reduced for the amount of the carried interest recognized, not to exceed 20% of the cash management fees earned. As of June 30, 2011, the amount subject to refund for which no liability was recorded was approximately $48.8 million as a result of certain funds not yet recognizing sufficient carried interests. The refunds to the limited partners are paid, and the liabilities relieved, at such time that the underlying investments are sold and the associated carried interests are realized. In the event that a fund’s carried interest is not sufficient to cover any of the amount that represents 20% of the cash management fees earned, these fees would not be returned to the funds’ limited partners, in accordance with the respective fund agreements.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Debt Covenants

Borrowings of KKR contain various debt covenants. These covenants do not, in management’s opinion, materially restrict KKR’s investment or financing strategies. KKR is in compliance with its debt covenants in all material respects.

Investment Commitments

As of June 30, 2012, KKR had unfunded commitments consisting of (i) $594.5 million to its active private equity and other investment vehicles, (ii) $370.0 million to KKR North America Fund XI L.P. and KKR Asian Fund II L.P. for which the investment period has not yet commenced, subject to adjustment, (iii) $103.1 million in connection with commitments by KKR’s capital markets business related to revolving credit facilities of Portfolio Companies and other companies, and (iv) $96.3 million to other investment strategies. Whether these amounts are actually funded, in whole or in part depends on the terms of such commitments, including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions to funding.

Acquisition of Prisma Capital Partners

On June 18, 2012, KKR entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Prisma Capital Partners LP and its affiliates (“Prisma”), a provider of customized hedge fund solutions with approximately $7.8 billion in assets under management as of April 1, 2012. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. The initial purchase price is payable by KKR at the closing in cash. KKR may also become obligated to make future purchase price payments in the years 2014 and 2017 based on whether the Prisma business grows to achieve certain operating performance metrics when measured in such years. KKR has the right in its sole discretion to pay a portion of such future purchase price payments, if any, in KKR & Co. L.P. common units rather than in cash.

Contingent Repayment Guarantees

The instruments governing KKR’s private equity funds generally include a “clawback” provision that, if triggered, may give rise to a contingent obligation that may require the general partners to return amounts to the fund for distribution to the limited partners at the end of the life of the fund. Under a “clawback” provision, upon the liquidation of a fund, the general partner is required to return, on an after-tax basis, previously distributed carry to the extent that, due to the diminished performance of later investments, the aggregate amount of carry distributions received by the general partner during the term of the fund exceed the amount to which the general partner was ultimately entitled.

Certain KKR principals who received carried interest distributions prior to October 1, 2009 with respect to the private equity funds had personally guaranteed, on a several basis and subject to a cap, the contingent obligations of the general partners of the private equity funds to repay amounts to fund limited partners pursuant to the general partners’ clawback obligations. KKR principals remain responsible for any clawback obligations relating to carry distributions received prior to October 1, 2009, up to a maximum of $223.6 million. As of June 30, 2012, no amounts are due with respect to the clawback obligation required to be funded by KKR principals who do not hold direct controlling economic interests in the KKR Group Partnerships. Carry distributions arising subsequent to October 1, 2009 may give rise to clawback obligations that will be allocated generally to carry pool participants and the KKR Group Partnerships. KKR will indemnify its principals for any personal guarantees that they have provided with respect to such amounts.

As of June 30, 2012, the amount of carried interest that is subject to this clawback provision was $885.7 million, assuming that all applicable private equity funds were liquidated at no value. Had the investments in such funds been liquidated at their June 30, 2012 fair values, there would have been no clawback obligation.

The instruments governing certain of KKR’s private equity funds may also include a “net loss sharing provision,” that, if triggered, may give rise to a contingent obligation that may require the general partners to contribute capital to the fund, to fund 20% of the net losses on investments. In connection with the “net loss sharing provisions,” certain of KKR’s private equity vehicles allocate a greater share of their investment losses to KKR relative to the amounts contributed by KKR to those vehicles. In these vehicles, such losses would be required to be paid by KKR to the limited partners in those vehicles in the event of a liquidation of the fund regardless of whether any carried interest had previously been distributed. Based on the fair market values as of June 30, 2012, there would have been no net loss sharing obligation. If the vehicles were liquidated at zero value, the net loss sharing obligation would have been approximately $886.8 million as of June 30, 2012.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, KKR enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. KKR’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against KKR that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, KKR expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

Litigation

From time to time, KKR is involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of KKR’s business. KKR’s business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against it.

In August 1999, KKR and certain of its current and former personnel were named as defendants in an action brought in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, or the Alabama State Court, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and conspiracy in connection with the acquisition of Bruno’s, Inc. (“Bruno’s”), one of KKR’s former portfolio companies, in 1995. The action was removed to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Alabama. In April 2000, the complaint in this action was amended to further allege that KKR and others violated state law by fraudulently misrepresenting the financial condition of Bruno’s in an August 1995 subordinated notes offering relating to the acquisition and in Bruno’s subsequent periodic financial disclosures. In January 2001, the action was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. In 2009, the action was remanded to the Alabama State Court and subsequently consolidated for pretrial purposes with a similar action brought against the underwriters of the August 1995 subordinated notes offering, which was pending before the Alabama State Court. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages, in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, for losses they allegedly suffered in connection with their purchase of the subordinated notes. In September 2009, KKR and the other named defendants moved to dismiss the action. In April 2010, the Alabama State Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss. In August 2011, the Alabama Supreme Court denied KKR’s petition seeking permission to appeal certain rulings made by the Alabama State Court when denying in part the motion to dismiss. In October 2011, the plaintiffs’ investment adviser filed an amended motion to dismiss a third-party complaint filed by KKR and other defendants asserting a contribution claim against the plaintiffs’ investment adviser. The motion to dismiss this third-party-complaint is pending before the Alabama State Court. In December 2011, KKR filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking permission to appeal the Alabama Supreme Court’s denial of KKR’s petition. In January 2012, the Alabama State Court granted a motion to sever the action from the related action against the underwriters of the subordinated notes. In May 2012, the United States Supreme Court denied KKR’s petition for a writ of certiorari. Discovery is ongoing in the action.

On May 23, 2011, KKR, certain KKR affiliates and the board of directors of Primedia Inc. (a former KKR portfolio company whose directors at that time included certain KKR personnel) were named as defendants, along with others, in two shareholder class action complaints filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware challenging the sale of Primedia in a merger transaction that was completed on July 13, 2011. These actions allege, among other things, that Primedia board members, KKR, and certain KKR affiliates, breached their fiduciary duties by entering into the merger agreement at an unfair price and failing to disclose all material information about the merger. Plaintiffs also allege that the merger price was unfair in light of the value of certain shareholder derivative claims, which were dismissed on August 8, 2011, based on a stipulation by the parties that the derivative plaintiffs and any other former Primedia shareholders lost standing to prosecute the derivative claims on behalf of Primedia when the Primedia merger was completed. The dismissed shareholder derivative claims included allegations concerning open market purchases of certain shares of Primedia’s preferred stock by KKR affiliates in 2002 and allegations concerning Primedia’s redemption of certain shares of Primedia’s preferred stock in 2004 and 2005, some of which were owned by KKR affiliates. With respect to the pending shareholder class actions challenging the Primedia merger, on June 7, 2011, the Court of Chancery denied a motion to preliminarily enjoin the merger. On July 18, 2011, the Court of Chancery consolidated the two pending shareholder class actions and appointed lead counsel for plaintiffs. On October 7, 2011, defendants moved to dismiss the operative complaint in the consolidated shareholder class action. The operative complaint seeks, in relevant part, unspecified monetary damages and rescission of the merger. On December 2, 2011, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint, which similarly alleges that the Primedia board members, KKR, and certain KKR affiliates breached their respective fiduciary duties by entering into the merger agreement at an unfair price in light of the value of the dismissed shareholder derivative claims. That amended complaint seeks an unspecified amount of monetary damages. On January 31, 2012, defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. The motion to dismiss the amended complaint is pending before the Court of Chancery.

Additionally, in May 2011, two shareholder class actions challenging the Primedia merger were filed in Georgia state courts, asserting similar allegations and seeking similar relief as initially sought by the Delaware shareholder class actions above. Both Georgia actions have been stayed in favor of the Delaware action.

In December 2007, KKR, along with 15 other private equity firms and investment banks, were named as defendants in a purported class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts by shareholders in certain public companies acquired by private equity firms since 2003. In August 2008, KKR, along with 16 other private equity firms and investment banks, were named as defendants in a purported consolidated amended class action complaint. The suit alleges that from mid-2003 defendants have violated antitrust laws by allegedly conspiring to rig bids, restrict the supply of private equity financing, fix the prices for target companies at artificially low levels, and divide up an alleged market for private equity services for leveraged buyouts. The amended complaint seeks injunctive relief on behalf of all persons who sold securities to any of the defendants in leveraged buyout transactions and specifically challenges nine transactions. The first stage of discovery concluded on or about April 15, 2010. On August 18, 2010, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion to proceed to a second stage of discovery in part and denied it in part. Specifically, the court granted a second stage of discovery as to eight additional transactions but denied a second stage of discovery as to any transactions beyond the additional eight specified transactions. On October 7, 2010, the plaintiffs filed under seal a fourth amended complaint that includes new factual allegations concerning the additional eight transactions and the original nine transactions. The fourth amended complaint also includes eight purported sub-classes of plaintiffs seeking unspecified monetary damages and/or restitution with respect to eight of the original nine challenged transactions and new separate claims against two of the original nine challenged transactions. On January 13, 2011, the court granted a motion filed by KKR and certain other defendants to dismiss all claims alleged by a putative damages sub-class in connection with the acquisition of PanAmSat Corp. and separate claims for relief related to the PanAmSat transaction. The second phase of discovery permitted by the court is completed. On July 11, 2011, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking leave to file a proposed fifth amended complaint that seeks to challenge ten additional transactions in addition to the transactions identified in the previous complaints. Defendants opposed plaintiffs’ motion. On September 7, 2011, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion in part and denied it in part. Specifically, the court granted a third stage of limited discovery as to the ten additional transactions identified in plaintiffs’ proposed fifth amended complaint but denied plaintiffs’ motion seeking leave to file a proposed fifth amended complaint. The court stated that it will entertain a renewed motion by plaintiffs to file a proposed fifth amended complaint at the close of the third phase of discovery. The third phase of discovery permitted by the court has been completed. On June 14, 2012, plaintiffs filed a fifth amended complaint which, like their proposed fifth amended complaint, seeks to challenge ten additional transactions in addition to the transactions identified in the previous complaints. On June 22, 2012, defendants filed a motion to dismiss certain claims asserted in the fifth amended complaint. On July 23, 2012, defendants, including KKR, filed motions for summary judgment.

On March 4, 2011, KKR received a request from the SEC for information relating to the acquisition of Del Monte Foods Company by private equity funds affiliated with KKR and two other private equity firms, which was announced on November 25, 2010 and completed on March 8, 2011. On May 20, 2011 the SEC issued a subpoena to KKR seeking substantially the same documents and information as the March 4, 2011 request for information. On December 16, 2011, the SEC issued another subpoena to KKR seeking documents and information regarding the period prior to the announcement of the acquisition of Del Monte Foods Company. KKR is cooperating with the SEC’s investigations.

In September 2006 and March 2009, KKR received requests for certain documents and other information from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in connection with the DOJ’s investigation of private equity firms to determine whether they have engaged in conduct prohibited by United States antitrust laws. KKR is cooperating with the DOJ’s investigation.

In January 2011, KKR received a request from the SEC for information regarding KKR’s investors and clients that the SEC defines as sovereign wealth funds and certain services provided by KKR. On December 19, 2011, the SEC issued a subpoena to KKR seeking additional documents and information involving certain sovereign wealth funds specified by the SEC. KKR is cooperating with the SEC’s investigation.

Moreover, in the ordinary course of business KKR is subject to governmental and regulatory examinations or investigations and also is and can be both the defendant and the plaintiff in numerous actions with respect to acquisitions, bankruptcy, insolvency and other types of proceedings. Such lawsuits may involve claims that adversely affect the value of certain investments owned by KKR’s funds.

KKR establishes an accrued liability for litigation, regulatory and other matters only when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. No loss contingency is recorded for matters where such losses are either not probable or reasonably estimable (or both) at the time of determination. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, including among others (i) the proceedings are in early stages; (ii) damages sought are unspecified, unsupportable, unexplained or uncertain; (iii) discovery has not been started or is incomplete; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; or (vi) there are novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories to be presented or a large number of parties. Consequently, management is unable to estimate a range of potential loss, if any, related to these matters. For one or more of the matters described above for which a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, we have estimated the aggregate amount of losses attributable to KKR to be approximately $32.5 million. We believe such losses should be, in whole or in part, subject to insurance and/or indemnity, which we believe will reduce any ultimate loss. This estimate is based upon information available as of August 1, 2012 and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and uncertainties. Actual outcomes may vary significantly from this estimate.

At this time, management has not concluded whether the final resolution of any of the matters above will have a material effect upon the consolidated financial statements.

14. REGULATED CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

KKR has a registered broker-dealer which is subject to the minimum net capital requirements of the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Additionally, KKR has an entity based in London which is subject to the capital requirements of the U.K. Financial Services Authority (“FSA”), another entity based in Hong Kong which is subject to the capital requirements of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance, and another entity based in Mumbai which is subject to capital requirements of the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”). All of these broker dealer entities have continuously operated in excess of their respective minimum regulatory capital requirements.

The regulatory capital requirements referred to above may restrict KKR’s ability to withdraw capital from its registered broker-dealer entities. At June 30, 2012, approximately $46.4 million of cash at our registered broker-dealer entities may be restricted as to the payment of cash dividends and advances to KKR.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Distribution

A distribution of $0.13 per KKR & Co. L.P. common unit was announced on July 27, 2012 and will be paid on August 21, 2012 to unit holders of record as of the close of business on August 6, 2012. KKR Holdings will receive its pro rata share of the distribution from the KKR Group Partnerships.

Joint Venture with Stone Point Capital

On July 27, 2012, KKR entered into a partnership with Stone Point Capital (“Stone Point”), to establish KKR - SPC Merchant Advisors LLC (“Merchant Advisors”). Merchant Advisors will provide capital markets services to mid-market and sponsor-backed companies as well as make certain principal investments to support client needs. KKR and Stone Point each committed $150 million of equity, or $300 million in total, to Merchant Advisors to support its business. KKR expects that certain capital markets activities for third parties (other than KKR and its Portfolio Companies) will be principally conducted by Merchant Advisors.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of KKR & Co. L.P., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, and the related notes included elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2012, including the audited consolidated and combined financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained therein. The historical condensed consolidated financial data discussed below reflects the historical results and financial position of KKR. In addition, this discussion and analysis contains forward looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward looking statements.

Overview

Led by Henry Kravis and George Roberts, we are a leading global investment firm with $61.5 billion in AUM as of June 30, 2012 and a 36-year history of leadership, innovation and investment excellence. When our founders started our firm in 1976, they established the principles that guide our business approach today, including a patient and disciplined investment process; the alignment of our interests with those of our investors, portfolio companies and other stakeholders; and a focus on attracting world class talent.

Our business offers a broad range of investment management services to our investors and provides capital markets services to our firm, our portfolio companies and third parties. Throughout our history, we have consistently been a leader in the private equity industry, having completed more than 200 private equity investments with a total transaction value in excess of $465 billion. In recent years, we have grown our firm by expanding our geographical presence and building businesses in new areas, such as fixed income, equity strategies, capital markets, infrastructure, natural resources and real estate. Our new efforts build on our core principles and industry expertise, allowing us to leverage the intellectual capital and synergies in our businesses, and to capitalize on a broader range of the opportunities we source. Additionally, we have increased our focus on servicing our existing investors and have invested meaningfully in developing relationships with new investors.

We conduct our business with offices throughout the world, providing us with a pre-eminent global platform for sourcing transactions, raising capital and carrying out capital markets activities. Our growth has been driven by value that we have created through our operationally focused investment approach, the expansion of our existing businesses, our entry into new lines of business, innovation in the products that we offer investors, an increased focus on providing tailored solutions to our clients and the integration of capital markets distribution activities.

As a global investment firm, we earn management, monitoring, transaction and incentive fees for providing investment management, monitoring and other services to our funds, vehicles, managed accounts, specialty finance company and portfolio companies, and we generate transaction-specific income from capital markets transactions. We earn additional investment income from investing our own capital alongside that of our investors and from the carried interest we receive from our funds and certain of our other investment vehicles. A carried interest entitles the sponsor of a fund to a specified percentage of investment gains that are generated on third-party capital that is invested.

We seek to consistently generate attractive investment returns by employing world-class people, following a patient and disciplined investment approach and driving growth and value creation in the assets we manage. Our investment teams have deep industry knowledge and are supported by a substantial and diversified capital base, an integrated global investment platform, the expertise of operating consultants and senior advisors and a worldwide network of business relationships that provide a significant source of investment opportunities, specialized knowledge during due diligence and substantial resources for creating and realizing value for stakeholders. We believe that these aspects of our business will help us continue to expand and grow our business and deliver strong investment performance in a variety of economic and financial conditions.

Business Segments

Private Markets

Through our Private Markets segment, we manage and sponsor a group of private equity funds and co-investment vehicles that invest capital for long-term appreciation, either through controlling ownership of a company or strategic minority positions. KKR also manages and sources investments in infrastructure, natural resources and real estate. These investment funds, vehicles and accounts are managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., an SEC registered investment adviser.

The table below presents information as of June 30, 2012 relating to our private equity funds and other Private Markets investment vehicles for which we have the ability to earn carried interest. This data does not reflect acquisitions or disposals of investments, changes in investment values or distributions occurring after June 30, 2012.

The tables below present information as of June 30, 2012 relating to the historical performance of certain of our Private Markets investment vehicles since inception, which we believe illustrates the benefits of our investment approach. The information presented under Total Investments includes all of the investments made by the specified investment vehicle, while the information presented under Realized/Partially Realized Investments includes only those investments for which proceeds, excluding current income like dividends and interest, have been realized. This data does not reflect additional capital raised since June 30, 2012 or acquisitions or disposals of investments, changes in investment values or distributions occurring after that date. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

(1)	These funds are not included in the KKR business.

(2)	The capital commitments of the European Fund, the European Fund II, the European Fund III and the Annex Fund include euro-denominated commitments of €196.5 million, €2,597.2 million, €2,788.8 million and €165.5 million, respectively. Such amounts have been converted into U.S. dollars based on (i) the foreign exchange rate at the date of purchase for each investment and (ii) the exchange rate prevailing on June 30, 2012 in the case of unfunded commitments.

(3)	The gross IRR, net IRR and multiple of invested capital are calculated for our investment funds that have invested for at least 36 months prior to June 30, 2012. None of the Annex Fund, the China Growth Fund, Natural Resources, or Infrastructure have invested for at least 36 months as of June 30, 2012. We therefore have not calculated gross IRRs, net IRRs and multiples of invested capital with respect to those funds.

(4)	Investments are considered partially realized when proceeds, excluding current income like dividends and interest, have been realized. None of the European Fund III, Annex Fund, China Growth Fund, Natural Resources or Infrastructure have realized proceeds from invested capital. We therefore have not calculated gross IRRs, net IRRs and multiples of invested capital with respect to the investments of those funds.

*	IRRs measure the aggregate annual compounded returns generated by a fund’s investments over a holding period. Gross IRRs are calculated before giving effect to the allocation of carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees. Net IRRs presented under Total Investments are calculated after giving effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees. Net IRRs presented under Realized/Partially Realized Investments are calculated after giving effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest, but before payment of any applicable management fees as management fees are applied to funds, not investments.

**	The multiples of invested capital measure the aggregate returns generated by a fund’s investments in absolute terms. Each multiple of invested capital is calculated by adding together the total realized and unrealized values of a fund’s investments and dividing by the total amount of capital invested by the fund. Such amounts do not give effect to the allocation of any realized and unrealized returns on a fund’s investments to the fund’s general partner pursuant to a carried interest or the payment of any applicable management fees.

In addition during the second quarter, we had a $3.0 billion first close on our Asian Fund II, which, together with commitments to our North American Fund XI and commitments made to a strategic partnership by Teacher Retirement System of Texas is not reflected in the tables above. Such commitments will not contribute to AUM until we are entitled to receive fees or a carried interest in accordance with our definition of AUM and consequently are not included in AUM this quarter.

Public Markets

Through the Public Markets segment, we manage KFN, a specialty finance company, as well as a number of investment funds, structured finance vehicles and separately managed accounts that invest capital in (i) leveraged credit strategies, such as leveraged loans and high yield bonds, (ii) liquid long/short equity strategies and (iii) alternative credit strategies such as mezzanine investments, special situations investments and direct senior lending. These funds, vehicles and accounts are managed by KKR Asset Management LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.

We generally review our performance in the Public Markets segment by investment strategy. Our leveraged credit strategies invest in leveraged loans and high yield bonds, or a combination of both. In certain cases these strategies have meaningful track records and may be compared to widely-known indices. The following chart presents information regarding these leveraged loan and high yield bond strategies from inception to June 30, 2012. Our other credit and equity strategies do not have a comparable widely-known index or have only begun investing more recently and therefore have not developed meaningful track records and thus their performance is not included below. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Inception-to-Date Annualized Gross Performance vs. Benchmark (1) by Strategy

(1)	The Benchmarks referred to herein include the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (the “S&P/LSTA Loan Index”) and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index (the “BoAML HY Master II Index” and, together with the S&P/LSTA Loan Index, the “Indices”). The S&P/LSTA Loan Index is an index that comprises all loans that meet the inclusion criteria and that have marks from the LSTA/LPC mark-to-market service. The inclusion criteria consist of the following: (i) syndicated term loan instruments consisting of term loans (both amortizing and institutional), acquisition loans (after they are drawn down) and bridge loans; (ii) secured; (iii) U.S. dollar denominated; (iv) minimum term of one year at inception; and (v) minimum initial spread of LIBOR plus 1.25%. The BoAML HY Master II Index is a market value weighted index of below investment grade U.S. dollar denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. “Yankee” bonds (debt of foreign issuers issued in the U.S. domestic market) are included in the BoAML HY Master II Index provided that the issuer is domiciled in a country having investment grade foreign currency long-term debt rating. Qualifying bonds must have maturities of one year or more, a fixed coupon schedule and minimum outstanding of US$100 million. In addition, issues having a credit rating lower than BBB3, but not in default, are also included. The indices do not reflect the reinvestment of income or dividends and the indices are not subject to management fees, incentive allocations or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in unmanaged indices.

(2)	The Secured Credit Unlevered model performance track record is presented as supplemental information. The Secured Credit Unlevered model represents performance of KKR’s Secured Credit Levered composite calculated on an unlevered basis. KKR’s Secured Credit Levered composite has an investment objective that allows it to invest in assets other than senior secured term loans and high yield securities, which includes asset backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities, preferred stock, public equity, private equity and certain freestanding derivatives. In addition, KKR’s Secured Credit Levered composite has employed leverage in its respective portfolios as part of its investment strategy. Gains realized with borrowed funds may cause returns to increase at a faster rate than would be the case without borrowings. If, however, investment results fail to cover the principal, interest and other costs of borrowings, returns could also decrease faster than if there had been no borrowings. Accordingly, the

unlevered returns contained herein do not reflect the actual returns, and are not intended to be indicative of the future results of KKR’s Secured Credit Levered composite. It is not expected that KKR’s Secured Credit Levered composite will achieve comparable results. The Benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the Secured Credit strategy presented herein is the S&P/LSTA Loan Index. There are differences, in some cases, significant differences, between KKR’s investments and the investments included in the Indices. For instance, KKR’s composite may invest in securities that have a greater degree of risk and volatility, as well as liquidity risk, than those securities contained in the Indices.

(3)	Performance is based on a blended composite of Bank Loans Plus High Yield strategy accounts. The Benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the Bank Loans Plus High Yield strategy is based on 65% S&P/LSTA Loan Index and 35% ML HY Master II Index.

(4)	The Benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the High Yield carve-out strategy presented herein is based on the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. The High Yield carve-out is comprised of all investments included in KKR-sponsored portfolios that have been identified as “below investment grade” or were rated “BB” or lower at time of issuance by Standard & Poor’s. The collection of investments included in the High Yield carve-out come from various investment funds, vehicles and accounts sponsored by KKR.

The table below presents information as of June 30, 2012 relating to our Public Markets investment vehicles.

(1)	The management agreement may be terminated only in limited circumstances and, except for a termination arising from certain events of cause, upon payment of a termination fee to KKR.

(2)	AUM and FPAUM include all assets invested by vehicles that principally invest in alternative credit strategies and consequently may include a certain amount of assets invested in other strategies.

(3)	Term for duration of capital is since inception. Inception dates for CLOs were between 2005 and 2007 and for separately managed accounts and funds investing in alternative credit strategies from 2009 through 2011.

(4)	Lower fees on uninvested capital in certain vehicles.

(5)	Corporate Capital Trust is a business development company sub-advised by KAM. By December 31, 2018, the capital in the Corporate Capital Trust vehicle may become permanent.

(6)	Strategic Capital Funds is a fixed income hedge fund managed by KAM. We do not earn an incentive fee or carried interest on the assets managed through Strategic Capital Funds, which are currently in managed wind down.

Capital Markets and Principal Activities

Our Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment combines our principal assets with our global capital markets business. Our capital markets business supports our firm, our portfolio companies and select third parties by providing tailored capital markets advice and by developing and implementing both traditional and non-traditional capital solutions for investments and companies seeking financing. Our capital markets services include arranging debt and equity financing for transactions, placing and underwriting securities offerings, structuring new investment products and providing capital markets services. Our principal asset base primarily includes investments in our private equity funds, co-investments in certain portfolio companies of such private equity funds, general partner interests in various KKR-sponsored investment funds, and other assets owned by the firm’s balance sheet.

Business Environment

As a global investment firm, we are affected by financial and economic conditions in North America, Europe, Asia and elsewhere in the world. At the moment, the current global economic environment remains relatively volatile. Europe continues to experience downward growth trends as sovereign debt concerns have affected consumer and business behavior. Ongoing austerity and deleveraging in the developed world are likely to persist in the near-term, which may lead to increased volatility in the global capital markets. These events in Europe are also affecting global growth. If one or more Eurozone members were to leave the Eurozone, the functioning of Europe’s single market currency could be undermined which would cause a deeper and more damaging impact on the global economy. Growth in Asia has slowed, particularly in China, one of Europe’s largest trading partners. While low inflation has currently allowed Chinese authorities to ease monetary conditions, rising commodities prices could cause the central bank in China to tighten monetary policy which could further impair growth. The U.S. economy has grown at a moderate rate this year, but key indicators of sustainable growth remain under pressure. For example, while unemployment has declined, the unemployment rate remains elevated. Furthermore, in 2013 a variety of tax rates are scheduled to increase simultaneously with automatic reductions in government spending. Such a tightening of fiscal policy and the uncertainty about the resolution of these fiscal issues may further slow U.S. economic growth and adversely impact the global economy. In addition, we have seen a decline in transaction volume in the first half of 2012, which in turn tends to result in a reduced amount of fees received in our business segments.

Global equity markets have a substantial effect on our financial condition and results of operations, as equity prices, which have been and may continue to be volatile, significantly impact the valuation of our portfolio companies and, therefore, the investment income that we recognize. For our investments that are publicly listed and thus have readily observable market prices, global equity markets have a direct impact on valuation. For other investments, these markets have an indirect impact on valuation as we typically utilize a market multiples valuation approach as one of the methodologies to ascertain fair value of our investments that do not have readily observable market prices. In addition, the receptivity of equity markets to initial public offerings, or IPOs, as well as subsequent equity offerings by companies already public, impacts our ability to realize investment gains.

Global equity markets declined during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Volatility initially increased during the quarter, but settled somewhat towards the end of the quarter. This is evidenced by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index, or the VIX, a measure of volatility, beginning the quarter at 16.7, peaking at 26.7 on June 1, 2012 and ending at 17.1 on June 30, 2012. Overall equity markets decreased during the second quarter of 2012, with the S&P 500 Index declining 2.8% and the MSCI World Index posting a decrease of 4.9%. The below-investment grade credit markets, however, appreciated with the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index and the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index increasing 0.7% and 1.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Conditions in global credit markets also have a substantial effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We rely on the ability of our funds to obtain committed debt financing on favorable terms in order to complete new private equity transactions. Similarly, our portfolio companies regularly require access to the global credit markets in order to obtain financing for their operations and to refinance or extend the maturities of their outstanding indebtedness. To the extent that conditions in the credit markets render such financing difficult to obtain or more expensive, this may negatively impact the operating performance and valuations of those portfolio companies and, therefore, our investment returns on our funds. In addition, during economic downturns or periods of slow economic growth, the inability to refinance or extend the maturities of portfolio company debt (and thereby extend our investment holding period) may hinder our ability to realize investment gains from these portfolio companies when economic conditions improve. Credit markets can also impact valuations. For example, we typically use a discounted cash flow analysis as one of the methodologies to ascertain the fair value of our investments that do not have readily observable market prices. If applicable interest rates rise, then the assumed cost of capital for those portfolio companies would be expected to increase under the discounted cash flow analysis, and this effect would negatively impact their valuations if not offset by other factors. Conversely, a fall in interest rates can positively impact valuations of certain portfolio companies if not offset by other factors. These impacts could be substantial depending upon the magnitude of the change in interest rates. In certain cases, the valuations obtained from the discounted cash flow analysis and the other primary methodology we use, the market multiples approach, may yield different and offsetting results. For example, the positive impact of falling interest rates on discounted cash flow valuations may offset the negative impact of the market multiples valuation approach and may result in less of a decline in value than for those investments that had a readily observable market price.

Our Public Markets segment manages a number of funds and other accounts that invest capital in a variety of credit and equity strategies, including leveraged loans, high yield bonds and mezzanine debt. As a result, conditions in global credit and equity markets have a direct impact on both the performance of these investments as well as the ability to make additional investments on favorable terms in the future.

In addition, our Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment generates fees through a variety of activities in connection with the issuance and placement of equity and debt securities and credit facilities, with the size of fees generally correlated to overall transaction sizes. As a result, the conditions in global equity and credit markets, as well as transaction activity in our Private Markets segment and to a significantly lesser extent, Public Markets segment, impact both the frequency and size of fees generated by this segment.

Finally, conditions in commodity markets may impact the performance of our portfolio companies in a variety of ways, including through direct or indirect impact on the cost of the inputs used in their operations as well as the pricing and profitability of the products or services that they sell. The price of commodities has historically been subject to substantial volatility, which among other things, could be driven by economic, monetary, political or weather related factors. For example, crude oil prices have fallen more than 15% during the quarter while corn prices rose more than 20% in the month ending June 30, 2012. If certain of our portfolio companies are unable to raise prices to offset increases in the cost of raw materials or other inputs, or if consumers defer purchases of or seek substitutes for the products of such portfolio companies, such portfolio companies could experience lower operating income which may in turn reduce the valuation of those portfolio companies. However, the results of operations and valuations of certain of our other portfolio companies, for example those involved in the development of oil and natural gas properties, may benefit from an increase or suffer from a decline in commodity prices.

Basis of Financial Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our management and capital markets companies, certain variable interest entities, the general partners of certain unconsolidated co-investment vehicles and the general partners of our private equity and fixed income funds and their respective consolidated funds, where applicable.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, certain entities, including a substantial number of our funds, are consolidated notwithstanding the fact that we may hold only a minority economic interest or non-economic variable interest in those entities. In particular, the majority of our consolidated funds consist of funds in which we hold a general partner or managing member interest that gives us substantive controlling rights over such funds. With respect to our consolidated funds, we generally have operational discretion and control over the funds and investors do not hold any substantive rights that would enable them to impact the funds’ ongoing governance and operating activities. As of June 30, 2012 our Private Markets segment included ten consolidated investment funds and thirteen unconsolidated co-investment vehicles. Our Public Markets segment included eight consolidated investment vehicles and ten unconsolidated vehicles.

When an entity is consolidated, we reflect the assets, liabilities, fees, expenses, investment income and cash flows of the consolidated entity on a gross basis. For example, the majority of the economic interests in a consolidated fund, which are held by third party investors, are reflected as noncontrolling interests. While the consolidation of a consolidated fund does not have an effect on the amounts of net income attributable to KKR or KKR’s partners’ capital that KKR reports, the consolidation does significantly impact the financial statement presentation. This is due to the fact that the assets, liabilities, fees, expenses and investment income of the consolidated funds are reflected on a gross basis while the allocable share of those amounts that are attributable to noncontrolling interests are reflected as single line items. The single line items in which the assets, liabilities, fees, expenses and investment income attributable to noncontrolling interests are recorded are presented as noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For a further discussion of our consolidation policies, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Consolidation.”

Key Financial Measures

Fees

Fees reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include the management or incentive fees that we earn from consolidated funds, because those fees are eliminated in consolidation. However, because those management fees are earned from, and funded by, third-party investors who hold noncontrolling interests in the consolidated funds, net income attributable to KKR is increased by the amount of the management fees that are eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, while the consolidation of funds impacts the amount of fees that are recognized in our financial statements, it does not affect the ultimate amount of net income attributable to KKR or KKR’s partners’ capital.

For a further discussion of our fee policies, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Fees.”

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense includes cash compensation consisting of salaries, bonuses, and benefits, as well as equity-based compensation consisting of charges associated with the vesting of equity-based awards and carry pool allocations.

General, Administrative and Other

General, administrative and other expense consists primarily of professional fees paid to legal advisors, accountants, advisors and consultants, insurance costs, travel and related expenses, communications and information services, depreciation and amortization charges and other general and operating expenses which are not borne by fund investors and are not offset by credits attributable to fund investors’ noncontrolling interests in consolidated funds. General, administrative and other expense also consists of costs incurred in connection with pursuing potential investments that do not result in completed transactions, a substantial portion of which are borne by fund investors.

Investment Income (Loss)

Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities

Net gains (losses) from investment activities consist of realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from our investment activities. The majority of our net gains (losses) from investment activities are related to our private equity investments. Fluctuations in net gains (losses) from investment activities between reporting periods is driven primarily by changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as well as the realization of investments. The fair value of, as well as the ability to recognize gains from, our private equity investments is significantly impacted by the global financial markets, which, in turn, affects the net gains (losses) from investment activities recognized in any given period. Upon the disposition of an investment, previously recognized unrealized gains and losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period. Since our investments are carried at fair value, fluctuations between periods could be significant due to changes to the inputs to our valuation process over time. For a further discussion of our fair value measurements and fair value of investments, see “—Critical Accounting Policies—Fair Value Measurements.”

Dividend Income

Dividend income consists primarily of distributions that private equity funds receive from portfolio companies in which they invest. Private equity funds recognize dividend income primarily in connection with (i) dispositions of operations by portfolio companies, (ii) distributions of excess cash generated from operations from portfolio companies and (iii) other significant refinancing’s undertaken by portfolio companies.

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest that is received on our cash balances, principal assets and fixed income instruments in which our consolidated funds invest.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is incurred from credit facilities entered into by KKR, debt issued by KKR, and debt outstanding at our consolidated funds entered into with the objective of enhancing returns, which are generally not direct obligations of the general partners of our private equity funds or management companies. In addition to these interest costs, we capitalize debt financing costs incurred in connection with new debt arrangements. Such costs are amortized into interest expense using either the interest method or the straight-line method, as appropriate. See “—Liquidity”.

Income Taxes

The KKR Group Partnerships and certain of their subsidiaries operate in the United States as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and as corporate entities in non-U.S. jurisdictions. Accordingly, these entities, in some cases, are subject to New York City unincorporated business taxes, or non-U.S. income taxes. Furthermore, we hold our interest in one of the KKR Group Partnerships through KKR Management Holdings Corp., which is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the KKR Group Partnerships are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, such wholly-owned subsidiaries of KKR, including KKR Management Holdings Corp., and of the KKR Group Partnerships, are subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes at the entity level and the related tax provision attributable to KKR’s share of this income is reflected in the financial statements. We generate interest income to our unitholders and interest deductions to KKR Management Holdings Corp. as a result of a 2011 recapitalization of KKR Management Holdings Corp.

We use the liability method to account for income taxes in accordance with GAAP. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions including evaluating uncertainties. We review our tax positions quarterly and adjust our tax balances as new information becomes available.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the ownership interests that third parties hold in entities that are consolidated in the financial statements as well as the ownership interests in our KKR Group Partnerships that are held by KKR Holdings. The allocable share of income and expense attributable to these interests is accounted for as

net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Historically, the amount of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests has been substantial and has resulted in significant charges and credits in the statements of operations. Given the consolidation of certain of our investment funds and the significant ownership interests in our KKR Group Partnerships held by KKR Holdings, we expect this activity to continue.

Segment Operating and Performance Measures

The reportable segments for KKR’s business are presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) between KKR & Co. L.P. and KKR Holdings L.P. and as such represent the business in total.

KKR discloses the following financial measures in this report that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our GAAP results is helpful to investors in assessing the overall performance of KKR’s businesses. These financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for similar financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution readers that these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculations of other investment managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, where applicable, are included within “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 12. Segment Reporting.”

Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”)

Fee related earnings is comprised of segment operating revenues less segment operating expenses and is used by management as an alternative measurement of the operating earnings of KKR and its business segments before investment income. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into the operating profitability of our fee generating management companies and capital markets businesses. The components of FRE on a segment basis differ from the equivalent GAAP amounts on a consolidated basis as a result of: (i) the inclusion of management fees earned from consolidated funds that were eliminated in consolidation; (ii) the exclusion of fees and expenses of certain consolidated entities; (iii) the exclusion of charges relating to the amortization of intangible assets; (iv) the exclusion of charges relating to carry pool allocations; (v) the exclusion of non-cash equity charges and other non-cash compensation charges borne by KKR Holdings or incurred under the KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan; (vi) the exclusion of certain reimbursable expenses; and (vii) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items.

Economic Net Income (Loss) (“ENI”)

Economic net income (loss) is a measure of profitability for KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management as an alternative measurement of the operating and investment earnings of KKR and its business segments. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into the overall profitability of KKR’s businesses inclusive of investment income and carried interest. ENI is comprised of: (i) FRE; plus (ii) segment investment income (loss), which is reduced for carry pool allocations and management fee refunds; less (iii) certain economic interests in KKR’s segments held by third parties. ENI differs from net income (loss) on a GAAP basis as a result of: (i) the exclusion of the items referred to in FRE above; (ii) the exclusion of investment income (loss) relating to noncontrolling interests; and (iii) the exclusion of income taxes.

Assets Under Management (“AUM”)

Assets under management represent the assets from which KKR is entitled to receive fees or a carried interest and general partner capital. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into KKR’s capital raising activities and the overall activity in its investment funds and vehicles. KKR calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum of: (i) the fair value of the investments of KKR’s investment funds plus uncalled capital commitments from these funds; (ii) the fair value of investments in KKR’s co-investment vehicles; (iii) the net asset value of certain of KKR’s fixed income products; (iv) the value of outstanding structured finance vehicles; and (v) the fair value of other assets managed by KKR. KKR’s definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages or calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.

Fee Paying AUM (“FPAUM”)

Fee paying AUM represents only those assets under management from which KKR receives fees. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into the capital base upon which KKR earns management fees. This relates to KKR’s capital raising activities and the overall activity in its investment funds and vehicles, for only those funds and vehicles where KKR receives fees (i.e., excluding vehicles that receive only carried interest or general partner capital). FPAUM is the sum of all of the individual fee bases that are

used to calculate KKR’s fees and differs from AUM in the following respects: (i) assets from which KKR does not receive a fee are excluded (i.e., assets with respect to which it receives only carried interest) and (ii) certain assets, primarily in its private equity funds, are reflected based on capital commitments and invested capital as opposed to fair value because fees are not impacted by changes in the fair value of underlying investments.

Committed Dollars Invested

Committed dollars invested is the aggregate amount of capital commitments that have been invested by KKR’s investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles and is used as a measure of investment activity for KKR and its business segments during a given period. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into KKR’s investment of committed capital. Such amounts include: (i) capital invested by fund investors and co-investors with respect to which KKR is entitled to a fee or carried interest and (ii) capital invested by KKR’s investment funds and vehicles.

Syndicated Capital

Syndicated capital is the aggregate amount of debt or equity capital in transactions originated by KKR investment funds and vehicles, which has been distributed to third parties in exchange for a fee. It does not include capital committed to such transactions by carry-yielding co-investment vehicles, which is instead reported in committed dollars invested. Syndicated capital is used as a measure of investment activity for KKR and its business segments during a given period, and we believe that this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into levels of syndication activity in KKR’s Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment and across its investment platform.

Uncalled Commitments

Uncalled commitments are used as a measure of unfunded capital commitments that KKR’s investment funds and carry-paying co-investment vehicles have received from partners to contribute capital to fund future investments. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into the amount of capital that is available to KKR’s investment funds and vehicles to make future investments.

Adjusted Units

Adjusted units are used as a measure of the total equity ownership of KKR that is held by KKR & Co. L.P. and KKR Holdings and represent the fully diluted unit count using the if-converted method. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides an indication of the total equity ownership of KKR as if all outstanding KKR Holdings units had been exchanged for common units of KKR & Co. L.P.

Total Distributable Earnings

Total distributable earnings is the sum of (i) FRE, (ii) carry distributions received from KKR’s investment funds which have not been allocated as part of its carry pool and (iii) net realized principal investment income; less (i) applicable local income taxes, if any, and (ii) noncontrolling interests. Net realized principal investment income includes, with respect to KKR’s principal investments (i) realized investment gains and losses, (ii) dividend income and (iii) interest income, net of interest expense, earned from KKR’s principal investments. KKR does not intend to distribute net realized principal investment income other than certain additional distributions that KKR may determine to make, which are intended to cover certain tax liabilities, as calculated by KKR. See “Liquidity - Liquidity Needs - Distribution Policy.” We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides a supplemental measure to assess performance, excluding the impact of mark-to-market gains (losses), and amounts available for distribution to KKR unitholders, however, total distributable earnings is not a measure that calculates actual distributions under KKR’s current distribution policy.

Book Value

Book value is a measure of the net assets of KKR’s reportable segments and is used by management primarily in assessing the unrealized value of our investment portfolio, including carried interest, as well as our overall liquidity position. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into the assets and liabilities of KKR excluding the assets and liabilities that are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders. Book value differs from the equivalent GAAP

amounts on a consolidated basis primarily as a result of the exclusion of ownership interests in consolidated investment vehicles and other entities that are attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Cash and Short-Term Investments

Cash and short-term investments represent cash and liquid short-term investments in high-grade, short-duration cash management strategies used by KKR to generate additional yield on our excess liquidity and is used by management in evaluating KKR’s liquidity position. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides additional insight into KKR’s available liquidity. Cash and short-term investments differ from cash and cash equivalents on a GAAP basis as a result of the inclusion of liquid short-term investments in cash and short-term investments. The impact that these liquid short-term investments have on cash and cash equivalents on a GAAP basis is reflected in the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows within cash flows from operating activities. Accordingly, the exclusion of these investments from cash and cash equivalents on a GAAP basis has no impact on cash provided (used) by operating activities, investing activities or financing activities. As of June 30, 2012, we had cash and short-term investments on a segment basis of $1,206.4 million, which, with the addition of $467.4 million of liquid short-term investments, may be reconciled to cash and cash equivalents of $739.0 million.

Consolidated and Combined Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of our unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affected the results of operations of our three business segments in these periods, see “—Segment Analysis.”

The following tables set forth information regarding our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to three months ended June 30, 2011

Fees

Fees were $112.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $5.2 million, compared to fees of $117.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The net decrease was primarily due to a decrease in incentive fees of $12.1 million and a decrease in gross monitoring fees of $4.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by a $9.3 million increase in gross transaction fees. The decrease in incentive fees was due primarily to a lower level of income at KFN when compared to the prior period. The decrease in gross monitoring fees was primarily the result of having no transactions comparable to the transaction which resulted in $7.8 million in fees received during the three months ended June 30, 2011 from the termination of a monitoring agreement in connection with the sale of Seven Media Group (AX: SWM). Termination payments may occur in the future; however, they are infrequent in nature and are generally correlated with IPO or other sale activity in our private equity portfolio. Excluding the impact of termination payments and consulting fees, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, we had 38 portfolio companies that were paying an average monitoring fee of $0.7 million compared with 27 portfolio companies that were paying an average monitoring fee of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The transaction fees we receive will depend on the amount of capital our funds and other vehicles deploy and also the amount of capital our Capital Markets business syndicates. The increase in transaction fees was primarily in the form of fees for capital markets activities driven by a higher level of overall capital markets transaction activity, and to a lesser extent an increase in the number of transaction fee-generating investments during the period in our Private Markets segment. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 in our Private Markets segment, there were five transaction fee-generating investments with a total combined transaction value of approximately $0.7 billion as compared to three transaction fee-generating investments with a total combined transaction value of approximately $0.7 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Transaction fees vary by investment based upon a number of factors, the most significant of which are transaction size, the particular negotiations as to the amount of the fees, the complexity of the transaction and KKR’s role in the transaction.

Expenses

Expenses were $348.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $17.4 million, compared to $331.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a net increase in compensation of $8.2 million and an increase in other operating expenses of $9.2 million. The net increase in compensation is due primarily to the net effect of a higher carry pool allocation as a result of the recognition of higher carried interest during the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the prior period, partially offset by lower equity-based compensation reflecting fewer KKR Holdings units vesting for expense recognition purposes under the graded attribution method of expense recognition. The increase in other operating expenses was due primarily to an increase in the level of reimbursable expenses incurred in connection with the formation of new investment strategies and vehicles across KKR’s segments since June 30, 2011.

Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities

Net gains from investment activities were $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $0.3 billion, compared to a net gain of $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily driven by a higher level of appreciation in our private equity portfolio. The following is a summary of net gains (losses) from investment activities:

	Three Months Ended

Dividend income was $79.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $48.7 million, compared to dividend income of $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we received $44.7 million of dividends from TDC A/S (OMX: TDC), $24.4 million of dividends from Santander Consumer USA (financial services sector) and an aggregate of $10.8 million of dividends from other investments. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we received $26.2 million of dividends from Legrand Holdings S.A. (ENXTPA: LR) and an aggregate of $5.0 million of dividends from other investments. These types of dividends from portfolio companies may occur in the future; however, their size and frequency are variable.

Interest Income

Interest income was $87.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $0.8 million, compared to $88.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease primarily reflects a net decrease in the level of fixed income instruments in our public markets investment vehicles.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $0.5 million, compared to $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a net decrease in financing arrangements that are entered into by our consolidated funds with the objective of enhancing returns.

Income (Loss) Before Taxes

Due to the factors described above, principally increased gains from investment activities, income before taxes was $1.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $0.3 billion, compared to income before taxes of $1.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the formation of certain investment vehicles that allow for redemptions by limited partners subsequent to June 30, 2011.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $1.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $0.3 billion, compared to $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily driven by the overall changes in the components of net gains (losses) from investment activities described above.

Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to six months ended June 30, 2011

Fees

Fees were $228.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $120.8 million, compared to fees of $349.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The net decrease was primarily due to a decrease in gross monitoring fees of $75.2 million, a decrease in gross transaction fees of $33.7 million and a decrease in incentive fees of $14.4 million. The decrease in gross monitoring fees was primarily the result of having no transactions comparable to the transactions which resulted in $76.6 million in fees received during the six months ended June 30, 2011 from the termination of monitoring agreements in connection with the IPOs of two portfolio companies, HCA, Inc. (NYSE: HCA) and The Nielsen Company (NYSE: NLSN) and the sale of Seven Media Group. Termination payments may occur in the future; however, they are infrequent in nature and are generally correlated with IPO or other sale activity in our private equity portfolio. Excluding the impact of termination payments and consulting fees, during the six months ended June 30, 2012, we had 38 portfolio companies that were paying an average monitoring fee of $1.4 million compared with 30 portfolio companies that were paying an average monitoring fee of $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The transaction fees we receive will depend on the amount of capital our funds and other vehicles deploy and also the amount of capital our Capital Markets business syndicates. The decrease in transaction fees was primarily driven by a decrease in the size of transaction fee-generating investments during the period in our Private Markets segment which was partially offset by a higher level of overall capital markets transaction activity. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 in our Private Markets segment there were seven transaction fee-generating Private Markets investments with a total combined transaction value of approximately $1.9 billion as compared to five transaction fee-generating investments with a total combined transaction value of approximately $6.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Transaction fees vary by investment based upon a number of factors, the most significant of which are transaction size, the particular negotiations as to the amount of the fees, the complexity of the transaction and KKR’s role in the transaction. The decrease in incentive fees was due primarily to a lower level of income at KFN when compared to the prior period.

Expenses

Expenses were $794.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $39.0 million, compared to $755.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a net increase in compensation of $24.1 million and an increase in other operating expenses of $14.9 million. The net increase in compensation is due primarily to the net effect of a higher carry pool allocation as a result of the recognition of higher carried interest during the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the prior period, partially offset by lower equity-based compensation reflecting fewer KKR Holdings units vesting for expense recognition purposes under the graded attribution method of expense recognition. The increase in other operating expenses was due primarily to an increase in the level of reimbursable expenses incurred in connection with the formation of new investment strategies and vehicles across KKR’s segments since June 30, 2011.

Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities

Net gains from investment activities were $4.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $0.9 billion, compared to a net gain of $3.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily driven by a higher level of appreciation in our private equity portfolio. The following is a summary of net gains (losses) from investment activities:

Interest income was $164.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $10.0 million, compared to $154.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase primarily reflects a net increase in the level of fixed income instruments in our public markets investment vehicles.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $34.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $0.3 million, compared to $34.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a net increase in financing arrangements that are entered into by our consolidated funds with the objective of enhancing returns.

Income (Loss) Before Taxes

Due to the factors described above, principally increased gains from investment activities, income before taxes was $4.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $0.9 billion, compared to income before taxes of $3.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests was $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the formation of certain investment vehicles that allow for redemptions by limited partners subsequent to June 30, 2011.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $4.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $0.8 billion, compared to $3.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily driven by the overall changes in the components of net gains (losses) from investment activities described above.

Three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to three months ended June 30, 2011

Fees

Fees were $130.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $3.3 million, compared to fees of $133.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The net decrease was primarily due to a decrease in gross monitoring fees of $2.9 million and an increase in fee credits of $3.5 million, partially offset by an increase in transaction fees of $2.7 million. The decrease in gross monitoring fees was primarily the result of having no transactions comparable to the transactions which resulted in $7.8 million in fees received during the three months ended June 30, 2011 from the termination of monitoring agreements in connection with the partial sale of Seven Media Group, which impacted fee related earnings by $1.9 million, net of associated fee credits. These types of termination payments may occur in the

future; however, they are infrequent in nature and are generally correlated with IPOs or other sale activity in our private equity portfolio. Excluding the impact of termination payments, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, we had 38 portfolio companies that were paying an average monitoring fee of $0.7 million compared with 27 portfolio companies that were paying an average monitoring fee of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in gross transaction fees was primarily the result of an increase in the number of fee-generating investments completed. In the three months ended June 30, 2012, there were five transaction fee-generating investments with a total combined transaction value of approximately $0.7 billion compared to three transaction fee-generating investments with a combined transaction value of $0.7 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Transaction fees vary by investment based upon a number of factors, the most significant of which are transaction size, the particular negotiations as to the amount of the fees, the complexity of the transaction and KKR’s role in the transaction.

Expenses

Expenses were $93.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $1.7 million, compared to expenses of $95.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in other operating expenses related to lower levels of broken deal expenses, reflecting reduced transaction activity, partially offset by an increase in occupancy and related charges reflecting the expansion of our business.

Fee Related Earnings

Fee related earnings in our Private Markets segment were $36.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $1.6 million, compared to fee related earnings of $37.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was due to the decrease in fees, partially offset by the decrease in expenses as described above.

Investment Income (Loss)

Investment income was $138.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $48.4 million, compared to investment income of $90.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 driven primarily by a higher level of appreciation in our private equity portfolio.

The following table presents the components of net carried interest for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

	Three Months Ended

Less: Management fee refunds	(32,804		)	(31,905		)
Net carried interest	$	142,864		$	89,856

Net realized gains (losses) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 consist primarily of realized gains from the partial sale of Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG) and the sale of El Paso Midstream (energy sector).

Net realized gains (losses) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 consist primarily of the partial sales of Avago Technologies Limited (NYSE: AVGO), Rockwood Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ROC), and Seven Media Group.

The following table presents net unrealized gains (losses) of carried interest by investment vehicle for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Total (a)	$	35,137		$	74,312

(a) The above table excludes any funds for which there were no unrealized gains (losses) of carried interest during either of the periods presented.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the net unrealized gains of $35.1 million included $272.1 million of net unrealized gains reflecting net increases in the value of various portfolio companies principally related to the increase in value of one of our largest private equity investments, Alliance Boots GmbH (health care sector) in connection with its strategic sale, partially offset by $237.0 million of reversals of previously recognized net unrealized gains in the connection with the occurrence of realization events such as partial or full sales of investments. We completed a strategic sale of 45% of our interest in Alliance Boots GmbH on August 2, 2012. The buyer of Alliance Boots has an option, but not the obligation, to purchase the remaining 55%.

Of the $272.1 million of net increases in value, 10% was attributable to increased share prices of various publicly held investments, the most significant of which were gains on Dollar General Corporation and HCA, Inc. (NYSE: HCA).

These increases were partially offset by decreased share prices of other publicly held investments, the most significant of which was Seven Media Group, The Nielsen Company, and NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI). Our private portfolio contributed the remainder of the change in value, the most significant of which were gains relating to Alliance Boots GmbH and to a lesser extent Tarkett S.A. (manufacturing sector). The unrealized gains on our private portfolio were partially offset by unrealized losses on ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG (media sector) and Toys R Us, Inc. (retail sector). The reversals of previously recognized net unrealized gains of $237.0 million resulted primarily from the partial sale of Dollar General Corporation and sale of El Paso Midstream. The increased valuations, in the aggregate, generally relate to individual company performance which was partially offset by a decrease in market comparables, and in the case of Alliance Boots GmbH, an increase that reflected the valuation of a recently executed agreement to sell the investment. The decreased valuations, in the aggregate, generally relate to a decrease in market comparables and in certain cases, individual company performance, which may include an unfavorable business outlook.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, approximately 37% of net unrealized gains from changes in the value of our portfolio were attributable to changes in the share prices of various publicly held investments, the most significant of which were Dollar General Corporation and The Nielsen Company. In addition, there were significant unrealized losses due to the reversal of previously recognized gains in connection with the partial sales of Avago Technologies Limited, Rockwood Holdings, Inc., and Seven Media Group. Our private portfolio contributed the remainder of the change in value, the most significant of which related to Hilcorp Resources LLC (energy sector). The increased valuations, in the aggregate, generally relate to individual company performance. These unrealized gains were partially offset by unrealized losses, the most significant of which was Biomet, Inc. (health care sector) for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Dividend and interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 consists primarily of dividends earned from TDC A/S and Santander Consumer USA. Dividend and interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 consists primarily of dividends earned from Avago Technologies Limited and Legrand Holdings S.A. Management fee refunds amounted to $32.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $0.9 million from the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in management fee refunds primarily reflects an increased level of accrued carried interest in the European Fund II, which triggered the recognition of a higher level of management fee refunds.

Economic Net Income

Economic net income in our Private Markets segment was $174.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $46.5 million, compared to economic net income of $128.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in investment income described above was the primary contributor to the period over period increase in economic net income.

Assets Under Management

The following table reflects the changes in our Private Markets AUM from March 31, 2012 to June 30, 2012:

	($ in thousands)
March 31, 2012	$	45,986,400
New Capital Raised	397,400
Distributions	(2,535,800		)
Foreign Exchange	(114,400		)
Change in Value	1,794,500
June 30, 2012	$	45,528,100

AUM for the Private Markets segment was $45.5 billion at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $0.5 billion, compared to $46.0 billion at March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to distributions in our private equity portfolio of $2.5 billion comprised of $1.5 billion of realized gains and $1.0 billion of return of original cost, which was partially offset by appreciation in the market value of our private equity portfolio of $1.8 billion.

The net unrealized investment gains in our private equity portfolio were driven primarily by net unrealized gains of $1.5 billion and $0.4 billion in our 2006 Fund and European Fund II, respectively, partially offset by net unrealized investment losses of $0.2 billion in each of our Millennium Fund, European Fund III and Asian Fund. Approximately 2% of the net change in value for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was attributable to changes in share prices of various publicly-listed investments, most notably increases in Dollar General Corporation and HCA, Inc., partially offset by decreases in Seven Media Group and The Nielsen Company. Our private portfolio contributed the remainder of the change in value, with the largest contributors being unrealized gains relating to Alliance Boots GmbH and to a lesser extent Tarkett S.A. which were partially offset by unrealized losses on ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG and Toys R Us, Inc. The increased valuations, in the aggregate, generally relate to individual company performance which was only partially offset by a decrease in market comparables and in the case of Alliance Boots GmbH an increase that reflected the valuation of a recently executed agreement to sell the investment. The decreased valuations, in the aggregate, generally relate to a decrease in market comparables and in certain cases, individual company performance, which may include an unfavorable business outlook.

Fee Paying Assets Under Management

The following table reflects the changes in our Private Markets FPAUM from March 31, 2012 to June 30, 2012:

	($ in thousands)
March 31, 2012	$	37,974,800
New Capital Raised	395,800
Distributions	(159,900		)
Foreign Exchange	(346,000		)
Change in Value	(6,400		)
June 30, 2012	$	37,858,300

FPAUM in our Private Markets segment was $37.9 billion at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $0.1 billion, compared to $38.0 billion at March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to foreign exchange adjustments from our foreign denominated commitments and invested capital of $0.3 billion and distributions from our funds totaling $0.2 billion, offset by new capital raised of $0.4 billion.

Committed Dollars Invested

Committed dollars invested were $0.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $0.2 billion, compared to committed dollars invested of $0.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was due to an increase in the number of private equity investments closed during the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared with three months ended June 30, 2011.

Uncalled Commitments

As of June 30, 2012, our Private Markets Segment had $9.3 billion of remaining uncalled capital commitments that could be called for investments in new transactions.

Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to six months ended June 30, 2011

Fees

Fees were $256.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $59.6 million, compared to fees of $316.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The net decrease was primarily due to a decrease in gross monitoring fees of $67.5 million and a decrease in gross transaction fees of $38.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in fee credits of $49.6 million. The decrease in gross monitoring fees was primarily the result of having no transactions comparable to the transactions which resulted in $76.6 million in fees received during the six months ended June 30, 2011 from the termination of monitoring fee arrangements in connection with the IPOs of two portfolio companies, HCA, Inc. and The Nielsen Company and the sale of Seven Media Group, which impacted fee related earnings by $39.7 million net of associated fee credits. These types of termination payments may occur in the future; however, they are infrequent in nature and are generally correlated with IPOs or other sale activity in our private equity portfolio. Excluding the impact of termination payments, during the six months ended June 30, 2012, we had 38 portfolio companies that were paying an average monitoring fee of $1.4 million compared with 30 portfolio companies that were paying an average monitoring fee of $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in gross transaction fees was primarily the result of a decrease in the size of fee-generating investments completed. In the six months ended June 30, 2012, there were seven transaction fee-generating investments with a total combined transaction value of approximately $1.9 billion compared to five transaction fee-generating investments with a combined transaction value of $6.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Transaction fees vary by investment based upon a number of factors, the most significant of which are transaction size, the particular negotiations as to the amount of the fees, the complexity of the transaction and KKR’s role in the transaction.

Expenses

Expenses were $182.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $5.2 million, compared to expenses of $188.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in other operating expenses related to lower levels of broken deal expenses, reflecting reduced transaction activity, partially offset by an increase in occupancy and related charges reflecting the expansion of our business.

(a) The above table excludes any funds for which there were no unrealized gains (losses) of carried interest during either of the periods presented.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the net unrealized gains of $387.9 million included $696.3 million of net unrealized gains reflecting net increases in the value of various portfolio companies which were partially offset by $308.4 million of reversals of previously recognized net unrealized gains in the connection with the occurrence of realization events such as partial or full sales of investments.

Of the $387.9 million of net increases in value, 31% was attributable to increased share prices of various publicly held investments, the most significant of which were gains on Dollar General Corporation and HCA, Inc.

These increases were partially offset by decreased share prices of various publicly held investments, the most significant of which were Seven Media Group, The Nielsen Company and Far Eastern Horizon Ltd. (HK: 3360). Our private portfolio contributed the remainder of the change in value, the most significant of which were gains relating to Alliance Boots GmbH and to a lesser extent First Data Corporation (financial services sector) and Academy Sports and Outdoors (retail sector). The unrealized gains on our private portfolio were partially offset by unrealized losses on ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG, Del Monte Foods Company (consumer products sector), and Ambea AB (health care sector). The reversals of previously recognized net unrealized gains of $308.4 million resulted primarily from the partial sale of Dollar General Corporation, the sale of Legrand Holdings S.A. and the sale of El Paso Midstream. The increased valuations, in the aggregate, generally relate to individual company performance and an increase in market comparables and in the case of Alliance Boots GmbH an increase that reflected the valuation of a recently executed agreement to sell the investment. The decreased valuations, in the aggregate, generally relate to individual company performance, which may include an unfavorable business outlook.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, approximately 36% of net unrealized gains were attributable to increased share prices of various publicly held investments, the most significant of which were HCA, Inc., Dollar General Corporation and The Nielsen Company. In addition, there were significant unrealized losses due to the reversal of previously recognized gains in connection with the partial sales of Avago Technologies Limited, Legrand Holdings S.A, HCA, Inc. and Seven Media Group. Our private portfolio contributed the remainder of the net unrealized gains, the most significant of which were Hilcorp Resources LLC and Oriental Brewery (consumer products sector). The increased valuations, in the aggregate, generally related to improvements in individual company performance.

Dividend and interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 consists primarily of dividends earned from HCA, Inc., TDC A/S and Santander Consumer USA. Dividend and interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 consists primarily of dividends earned from Avago Technologies Limited and Legrand Holdings S.A. Management fee refunds amounted to $73.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $36.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in management fee refunds primarily reflects an increased level of accrued carried interest in the European Fund II, which triggered the recognition of a higher level of management fee refunds.

Economic Net Income

Economic net income in our Private Markets segment was $440.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $35.2 million, compared to economic net income of $404.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in investment income described above was the primary contributor to the period over period decrease in economic net income, partially offset by the decrease in fees.

Assets Under Management

The following table reflects the changes in our Private Markets AUM from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012:

Foreign Exchange	(63,200		)
Change in Value	4,793,500
June 30, 2012	$	45,528,100

AUM for the Private Markets segment was $45.5 billion at June 30, 2012, an increase of $1.9 billion, compared to $43.6 billion at December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to appreciation in the market value of our private equity portfolio of $4.8 billion, partially offset by distributions in our private equity portfolio of $3.3 billion comprised of $2.2 billion of realized gains and $1.1 billion of return of original cost.

The net unrealized investment gains in our private equity portfolio were driven primarily by net unrealized gains of $2.7 billion and $0.9 billion in our 2006 Fund and European Fund II, respectively. Approximately 34% of the net change in value for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was attributable to changes in share prices of various publicly-listed investments, most notably increases in Dollar General Corporation and HCA, Inc., partially offset by decreases in Seven Media Group and The Nielsen Company. Our private portfolio contributed the remainder of the change in value, with the largest contributors being unrealized gains relating to Alliance Boots GmbH, First Data Corporation, Academy Sports and Outdoors, Intelligence Ltd. (services sector) and Tarkett S.A., which were partially offset by unrealized losses on ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG, Del Monte Foods Company and Ambea AB. The increased valuations, in the aggregate, generally relate to individual company performance which was only partially offset by a decrease in market comparables and in the case of Alliance Boots GmbH an increase that reflected the valuation of a recently executed agreement to sell the investment. The decreased valuations, in the aggregate, generally relate to a decrease in market comparables and in certain cases, individual company performance, which may include an unfavorable business outlook.

Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to six months ended June 30, 2011

Fees

Fees were $61.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $5.0 million, compared to fees of $56.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Overall, we completed 46 capital markets transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of which 7 represented equity offerings and 39 represented debt offerings, as compared to 36 transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of which 5 represented equity offerings and 31 represented debt offerings. The fees were earned in connection with underwriting, syndication and other capital markets services. While each of the capital markets transactions that we undertake in this segment is separately negotiated, our fee rates are generally higher with respect to underwriting or syndicating equity offerings than with respect to debt offerings, and the amount of fees that we collect for like transactions generally correlates with overall transaction sizes. Our capital markets business is dependent on the overall capital markets environment, which is influenced by equity prices, credit spreads and volatility.

Expenses

Expenses were $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $2.2 million, compared to expenses of $18.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in compensation and benefits expense relating primarily to increased headcount.

Fee Related Earnings

Fee related earnings were $41.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $2.9 million, compared to fee related earnings of $38.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase was primarily related to the increase in fees as described above.

Investment Income (Loss)

Investment income was $762.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $184.3 million, compared to investment income of $578.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The following table reflects the components of investment income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
	2012			2011
	($ in thousands)
Net Realized Gains (Losses)	$	301,851		$	147,597
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses)	408,185			423,540
Dividend Income	48,227			4,721
Interest Income	23,475			23,860
Interest Expense	(19,355		)	(21,654		)
Other Investment Income (Loss)	$	762,383		$	578,064

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net realized gains were comprised of $310.0 million of realized gains primarily from the sale of private equity investments, the most significant of which were our remaining interest in Legrand Holdings S.A., as well as partial sales of Dollar General Corporation and The Nielsen Company. These realized gains were partially offset by $8.1 million of realized losses primarily related to non-private equity investments held by our balance sheet. The net unrealized gains related primarily to increases in the value of various private equity investments, most notably Alliance Boots GmbH, and to a lesser extent HCA, Inc., Dollar General Corporation and NXP Semiconductors N.V., partially offset by unrealized losses on Energy Future Holdings Corp. (energy sector), The Nielsen Company, and ProSiebenSat1 Media AG, as well as reversals of previously recognized net unrealized gains in the connection with the occurrence of realization events such as partial or full sales of investments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net realized gains were comprised of $183.2 million of gains from the sale of certain private equity investments, the most significant of which were HCA, Inc. and Avago Technologies Limited, and $35.6 million of net realized losses from the sale of non-private equity investments, the most significant of which was Orient Corporation (financial services sector). The net unrealized gains were comprised of $374.4 million of net unrealized appreciation of private equity investments, the most significant of which were Dollar General Corporation, HCA, Inc., NXP Semiconductors NV and The Nielsen Company, and $49.1 million of net appreciation of non-private equity investments.

Dividend income was $48.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $43.5 million, compared to dividend income of $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $37.0 million dividend received from HCA Inc. during the six months ended June 30, 2012. There were no comparable dividends in the comparative prior period.

Economic Net Income (Loss)

Economic net income was $802.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $187.2 million, compared to economic net income of $615.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in investment income described above was the primary contributor to the period over period increase in economic net income.

Syndicated Capital

Syndicated capital was $250.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $178.1 million compared to syndicated capital of $428.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease is primarily due to a lower level of private equity syndication activity when compared to the prior period.

(a) Represents equity awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan. The issuance of common units of KKR & Co. L.P. pursuant to awards under the Equity Incentive Plan dilutes KKR common unitholders and KKR Holdings pro rata in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the KKR business.

(b) Common units that may be issued by KKR & Co. L.P. upon exchange of units in KKR Holdings L.P. for KKR common units.

Liquidity

We manage our liquidity and capital requirements by focusing on our cash flows before the consolidation of our funds and the effect of normal changes in short term assets and liabilities, which we anticipate will be settled for cash within one year. Our primary cash flow activities on an unconsolidated basis typically involve: (i) generating cash flow from operations; (ii) generating income from investment activities, including the sale of investments and other assets; (iii) funding capital commitments that we have made to our funds, (iv) developing and funding new investment strategies, investment products and other growth initiatives; (v) underwriting commitments within our capital markets business; (vi) distributing cash flow to our owners; and (vii) borrowings, interest payments and repayments under credit agreements, the Senior Notes and other borrowing arrangements. As of June 30, 2012, we had cash and short-term investments on a segment basis of $1,206.4 million.

Sources of Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of amounts received from: (i) our operating activities, including the fees earned from our funds, managed accounts, portfolio companies, capital markets transactions and other investment products; (ii) realizations on carried interest from our investment funds; (iii) realizations on and sales of principal investments; (iv) borrowings under our credit facilities and other borrowing arrangements; and (v) sales of our common units described below.

Carried interest is distributed to the general partner of a vehicle with a clawback or net loss sharing provision only after all of the following are met: (i) a realization event has occurred (e.g., sale of a portfolio company, dividend, etc.); (ii) the vehicle has achieved positive overall investment returns investments since its inception, in excess of performance hurdles where applicable; and (iii) with respect to investments with a fair value below cost, cost has been returned to investors in an amount sufficient to reduce remaining cost to the investments’ fair value. As of June 30, 2012, certain of our funds had met the first and second criteria, as described above, but did not meet the third criteria. In these cases, carried interest accrues on the consolidated statement of operations, but will not be distributed in cash to us, as the general partner of an investment fund upon a realization event. For a fund that has a fair value above cost, overall, but has one or more investments where fair value is below cost, the shortfall between cost and fair value for such investments is referred to as a “netting hole.” When netting holes are present, realized gains on individual investments that would otherwise allow the general partner to receive carried interest distributions are instead used to return invested capital to our funds’ limited partners in an amount equal to the netting hole. Once netting holes have been filled with either (a) return of capital equal to the netting hole for those investments where fair value is below cost, or (b) increases in the fair value of those investments where fair value is below cost, then realized carried interest will be distributed to the general partner upon a realization event.

We completed a strategic sale of 45% of our interest in Alliance Boots GmbH on August 2, 2012. The buyer of Alliance Boots has an option, but not the obligation, to purchase the remaining 55%. A portion of our Alliance Boots investment is held in an overseas alternative investment vehicle of our 2006 Fund, which vehicle had a netting hole as of June 30, 2012. When the strategic sale was consummated in the third quarter of 2012, this vehicle filled its netting hole, which enables it to make distributions of carried interest to its general partner. The netting hole in our 2006 Fund is not impacted by the closing of the Alliance Boots transaction.

We have access to funding under various credit facilities and other borrowing arrangements that we have entered into with major financial institutions or which we receive from the capital markets. The following is a summary of the principal terms of these sources of funding.

Revolving Credit Agreements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were no borrowings made and no borrowings were outstanding as of June 30, 2012, under any of the revolving credit agreements described below. We may, however, utilize these facilities prospectively in the normal course of our operations.

· On February 26, 2008, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. entered into a credit agreement with a major financial institution (the “Corporate Credit Agreement”). The Corporate Credit Agreement originally provided for revolving borrowings of up to $1.0 billion, with a $50.0 million sublimit for swing-line notes and a $25.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. On February 22, 2011, the parties amended the terms of the Corporate Credit Agreement such that effective March 1, 2011, availability for borrowings under the credit facility was reduced from $1.0 billion to $700 million and the maturity was extended to March 1, 2016. In addition, the KKR Group Partnerships became co-borrowers of the facility, and KKR & Co. L.P. and the Issuer of the Senior Notes (discussed below) became guarantors of the Corporate Credit Agreement, together with certain general partners of our private equity funds. On June 3, 2011, the Corporate Credit Agreement was amended to admit a new lender, subject to the same terms and conditions, to provide a commitment of $50 million. This commitment increased the availability for borrowings under the credit facility to $750 million. On June 22, 2012, KKR requested the issuance of a letter of credit in the amount of $14.5 million under the Corporate Credit Agreement. The beneficiary of this letter of credit is an unaffiliated third party. The letter of credit was issued on July 2, 2012 and expires on July 3, 2013. Subsequent to this letter of credit issuance, a $10.5 million sublimit for letters of credit remains available under the Corporate Credit Agreement.

· On February 27, 2008, KKR Capital Markets entered into a credit agreement with a major financial institution (the “KCM Credit Agreement”) for use in KKR’s capital markets business. The KCM Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for revolving borrowings of up to $500 million with a $500 million sublimit for letters of credit. On March 30, 2012, an agreement was made to extend the maturity of the KCM Credit Agreement from February 27, 2013 to March 30, 2017. In addition to extending the terms, certain other terms of the KCM Credit Agreement were

renegotiated including a reduction of the cost of funding on amounts drawn and a reduced commitment fee. Borrowings under this facility may only be used for our capital markets business.

Senior Notes

· On September 29, 2010, KKR Group Finance Co. LLC (the “Issuer”), a subsidiary of KKR Management Holdings Corp., issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”), which were issued at a price of 99.584%. The Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and will mature on September 29, 2020, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by KKR & Co. L.P. and the KKR Group Partnerships. The guarantees are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the guarantors. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per annum, accruing from September 29, 2010.

Common Units

· On March 27, 2012, KKR & Co. L.P. filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the sale by us from time to time of up to 1,500,000 common units of KKR & Co. L.P. to generate cash proceeds up to (i) the amount of withholding taxes, social benefit payments or similar payments payable by us in respect of awards granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, and (ii) the amount of cash delivered in respect of awards granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan that are settled in cash instead of common units. The administrator of the Equity Incentive Plan is expected to reduce the maximum number of common units eligible to be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan by the number of common units issued and sold pursuant to the registration statement unless such reduction is already provided for with respect to such awards under the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on April 11, 2012. No common units were issued or sold under the registration statement during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Liquidity Needs

We expect that our primary liquidity needs will consist of cash required to: (i) continue to grow our business, including seeding new strategies and funding our capital commitments made to existing and future funds, co-investments and any net capital requirements of our capital markets companies; (ii) service debt obligations, as well as any contingent liabilities that may give rise to future cash payments; (iii) fund cash operating expenses; (iv) pay amounts that may become due under our tax receivable agreement with KKR Holdings as described below; (v) make cash distributions in accordance with our distribution policy; (vi) underwrite commitments within our capital markets business and (vii) acquire additional principal

assets. We may also require cash to fund contingent obligations including those under clawback and net- loss sharing arrangements. See “—Liquidity—Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies on an Unconsolidated Basis.” We believe that the sources of liquidity described above will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Capital Commitments

The agreements governing our active investment funds generally require the general partners of the funds to make minimum capital commitments to such funds, which usually range from 2% to 4% of a fund’s total capital commitments at final closing. In addition, we are responsible for certain limited partner interests in some of our private equity funds. The following table presents our uncalled commitments to our active investment funds as of June 30, 2012:

	Uncalled
	Commitments
	($ in thousands)
Private Markets
European Fund III	$	248,400
2006 Fund	109,400
Asian Fund	63,000
Infrastructure Fund	38,800
E2 Investors (Annex Fund)	28,100
Natural Resources	13,400
China Growth Fund	6,400
Other Private Markets Commitments	3,800
Total Private Markets Commitments	511,300

Public Markets
Direct Lending Fund	46,300
Mezzanine Fund	29,400
Special Situations Vehicles	7,500
Total Public Markets Commitments	83,200

Total Uncalled Commitments	$	594,500

As of June 30, 2012, KKR had unfunded commitments consisting of (i) $594.5 million to its active private equity and other investment vehicles reflected in the table above, (ii) $370.0 million to KKR North America Fund XI L.P. and KKR Asian Fund II L.P. for which the investment period has not yet commenced, subject to adjustments, (iii) $103.1 million in connection with commitments by KKR’s capital markets business related to revolving credit facilities of Portfolio Companies and other companies, (iv) $96.3 million to other investment strategies. Whether these amounts are actually funded, in whole or in part, depends on the terms of such commitments, including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions to funding.

In addition to the commitments described above, KKR has earmarked approximately $550 million to fund and develop new strategies, products and initiatives including energy, real estate, special situations, and other strategies. The amounts earmarked to fund and develop new strategies, products and initiatives may be revised or terminated by KKR in its discretion from time to time.

Acquisition of Prisma Capital Partners

On June 18, 2012, KKR entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Prisma Capital Partners LP and its affiliates (“Prisma”), a provider of customized hedge fund solutions with approximately $7.8 billion in assets under management as of April 1, 2012. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. The initial purchase price is payable by KKR at the closing is in cash. KKR may also become obligated to make future purchase price payments in the years 2014 and 2017 based on whether the Prisma business grows to achieve certain operating performance metrics when measured in such years. KKR has the right in its sole discretion to pay a portion of such future purchase price payments, if any, in KKR & Co. L.P. common units rather than in cash.

Joint Venture with Stone Point Capital

Tax Receivable Agreement

We and certain intermediate holding companies that are taxable corporations for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, may be required to acquire KKR Group Partnership Units from time to time pursuant to our exchange agreement with KKR Holdings. KKR Management Holdings L.P. made an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code that will remain in effect for each taxable year in which an exchange of KKR Group Partnership Units for common units occurs, which may result in an increase in our intermediate holding companies’ share of the tax basis of the assets of the KKR Group Partnerships at the time of an exchange of KKR Group Partnership Units. Certain of these exchanges are expected to result in an increase in our intermediate holding companies’ share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of the KKR Group Partnerships, primarily attributable to a portion of the goodwill inherent in our business that would not otherwise have been available. This increase in tax basis may increase depreciation and amortization deductions for tax purposes and therefore reduce the amount of income tax our intermediate holding companies would otherwise be required to pay in the future. This increase in tax basis may also decrease gain (or increase loss) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

We have entered into a tax receivable agreement with KKR Holdings requiring our intermediate holding companies to pay to KKR Holdings or transferees of its KKR Group Partnership Units 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the intermediate holding companies actually realize as a result of this increase in tax basis, as well as 85% of the amount of any such savings the intermediate holding companies actually realize as a result of increases in tax basis that arise due to future payments under the agreement. A termination of the agreement or a change of control could give rise to similar payments based on tax savings that we would be deemed to realize in connection with such events. This payment obligation is an obligation of our intermediate holding companies and not of either KKR Group Partnership. As such, the cash distributions to common unitholders may vary from holders of KKR Group Partnership Units (held by KKR Holdings and our principals) to the extent payments are made under the tax receivable agreement to selling holders of KKR Group Partnership Units to date. As the payments reflect actual tax savings received by KKR entities, there may be a timing difference between the tax savings received by KKR entities and the cash payments to selling holders of KKR Group Partnership Units. Payments made under the tax receivable agreement are required to be made within 90 days of the filing of the tax return of KKR Management Holdings Corp. As of June 30, 2012, approximately $0.2 million of cumulative cash payments have been made under the tax receivable agreement. No amounts were paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

We expect our intermediate holding companies to benefit from the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any, in income tax that they realize. In the event that other of our current or future subsidiaries become taxable as corporations and acquire KKR Group Partnership Units in the future, or if we become taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we expect that each will become subject to a tax receivable agreement with substantially similar terms.

Distributions

We intend to make quarterly cash distributions in amounts that in the aggregate are expected to constitute substantially all of the cash earnings of our investment management business each year in excess of amounts determined by KKR to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of our business, to make appropriate investments in our business and our investment funds and to comply with applicable law and any of our debt instruments or other agreements. KKR does not intend to distribute net realized principal investment income, other than certain additional distributions that KKR may determine to make. These additional distributions, if any, are intended to cover certain tax liabilities, as calculated by KKR. When KKR & Co. L.P. receives distributions from the KKR Group Partnerships, KKR Holdings receives its pro rata share of such distributions from the KKR Group Partnerships. For purposes of KKR’s distribution policy, our distributions are expected to consist of (i) FRE, (ii) carry distributions received from KKR’s investment funds which have not been allocated as part of its carry pool, and (iii) any additional distributions for certain taxes as described above. This amount is expected to be reduced by (i) corporate and applicable local taxes, if any, (ii) noncontrolling interests, and (iii) amounts determined by KKR to be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of our business and other matters as discussed above.

Total distributable earnings were $406.1 million and $570.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, up from $142.9 million and $450.7 million in the comparable periods of 2011. This increase was primarily related to the increase in net realized principal investment income from the partial sales of private equity investments, partially offset by a decline in fee related earnings. See “Segment Analysis” for further discussion surrounding our principal investments and FRE. Total distributable earnings is not a measure that calculates actual distributions under KKR’s current distribution policy.

The declaration and payment of any distributions are subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the general partner of KKR & Co. L.P. and the terms of its limited partnership agreement. There can be no assurance that distributions will be made as intended or at all or that such distributions will be sufficient to pay any particular KKR & Co. L.P. unitholder’s actual U.S. or non-U.S. tax liability.

The following table presents our distribution calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 as described in the preceding paragraph:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2012			June 30, 2011			June 30, 2012			June 30, 2011

(a) See Note 12 “Segment Reporting” of our financial statements included elsewhere in this report for a reconciliation of such measure to financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Represents the amount of distributed earnings allocable to KKR & Co. L.P. based on its ownership in the KKR business as of each respective date.

Other Liquidity Needs

We may also be required to fund various underwriting commitments in our capital markets business in connection with the underwriting of loans, securities or other financial instruments. We generally expect that these commitments will be syndicated to third parties or otherwise fulfilled or terminated, although we may in some instances elect to retain a portion of the commitments for our own account.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies on an Unconsolidated Basis

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements that may require future cash payments. The following table sets forth information relating to anticipated future cash payments as of June 30, 2012 on an unconsolidated basis.

	Payments due by Period
Types of Contractual Obligations	<1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		>5 Years		Total
	($ in millions)
Uncalled commitments to investment funds (1)	$	594.5	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	594.5
Debt payment obligations (2)	—		—		—		500.0		500.0
Interest obligations on debt (3)	31.9		63.8		63.8		111.6		271.1
Underwriting Commitments (4)	—		—		—		—		—
Lending Commitments (5)	103.1		—		—		—		103.1

Total	$	772.2	$	148.6	$	145.4	$	754.4	$	1,820.6

(1) These uncalled commitments represent amounts committed by us to fund a portion of the purchase price paid for each investment made by our investment funds which are actively investing. Because capital contributions are due on demand, the above commitments have been presented as falling due within one year. However, given the size of such commitments and the rates at which our investment funds make investments, we expect that the capital commitments presented above will be called over a period of several years. See “—Liquidity—Liquidity Needs.”

(2) Represents Senior Notes which are presented gross of unamortized discount.

(3) These interest obligations on debt represent estimated interest to be paid over the maturity of the related debt obligation, which has been calculated assuming the debt outstanding at June 30, 2012 is not repaid until its maturity. Future interest rates are assumed to be those in effect as of June 30, 2012, including both variable and fixed rates provided for by the relevant debt agreements. The amounts presented above include accrued interest on outstanding indebtedness.

(4) Represents various commitments in our capital markets business in connection with the underwriting of loans, securities and other financial instruments. As of June 30, 2012, there were no outstanding underwriting commitments.

(5) Represents obligations in our capital markets business to lend under various revolving credit facilities.

In the normal course of business, we also enter into contractual arrangements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that include general indemnification obligations. Our maximum exposure under such arrangements is unknown due to the fact that the exposure would relate to claims that may be made against us in the future. Accordingly, no amounts have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 relating to indemnification obligations.

The partnership documents governing our private equity funds generally include a “clawback” provision that, if triggered, may give rise to a contingent obligation that may require the general partner to return amounts to the fund for distribution to investors at the end of the life of the fund. Our principals are responsible for any clawback obligation relating to carry distributions received prior to October 1, 2009 up to a maximum of $223.6 million. Carry distributions arising subsequent to October 1, 2009 may give rise to clawback obligations that will be allocated generally to carry pool participants and the KKR Group Partnerships. As of June 30, 2012, assuming that all applicable private equity funds were liquidated at no value, the amount of carried interest distributed that would be subject to this clawback provision would be $885.7 million, of which $662.1 million would be borne by KKR and carry pool participants and $223.6 million would be borne by our principals. Had the investments in such funds been liquidated at their June 30, 2012 fair values, there would have been no clawback obligation.

Our other investment vehicles, including mezzanine, infrastructure and special situations generally include clawback provisions, however, no distributions of carried interest have been made with respect to these vehicles as of June 30, 2012.

The instruments governing certain of our private equity funds may also include a “net loss sharing provision,” that, if triggered, may give rise to a contingent obligation that may require the general partners to contribute capital to the fund, to fund 20% of the net losses on investments attributed to the limited partners of such fund. In connection with the “net loss sharing provisions,” certain of our private equity vehicles allocate a greater share of their investment losses to us relative to the amounts contributed by us to those vehicles. In these vehicles, such losses would be required to be paid by us to the limited partners in those vehicles in the event of a liquidation of the fund regardless of whether any carried interest had been previously distributed. Based on the fair market values as of June 30, 2012, there would have been no net loss sharing obligation. If the vehicles were liquidated at zero value, the net loss sharing obligation would have been approximately $886.8 million as of June 30, 2012.

Unlike the “clawback” provisions, the KKR Group Partnerships will be responsible for amounts due under net loss sharing arrangements and will indemnify our principals for personal guarantees that they have provided with respect to such amounts.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies on a Consolidated Basis

In the ordinary course of business, we and our consolidated funds enter into contractual arrangements that may require future cash payments. The following table sets forth information relating to anticipated future cash payments as of June 30, 2012. This table differs from the table presented above which sets forth contractual commitments on an unconsolidated basis principally because this table includes the obligations of our consolidated funds.

	Payments due by Period
Types of Contractual Obligations	<1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		>5 Years		Total

Uncalled commitments to investment funds (1)	$	9,173.7	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	9,173.7
Debt payment obligations (2)	198.0		378.4		45.9		500.0		1,122.3

Total	$	9,593.7	$	553.3	$	194.1	$	754.4	$	11,095.5

(1) These uncalled commitments represent amounts committed by our consolidated investment funds, which include amounts committed by KKR and our fund investors, to fund the purchase price paid for each investment made by our investment funds which

are actively investing. Because capital contributions are due on demand, the above commitments have been presented as falling due within one year. However, given the size of such commitments and the rates at which our investment funds make investments, we expect that the capital commitments presented above will be called over a period of several years. See “—Liquidity—Liquidity Needs.”

(2) Amounts include Senior Notes, gross of unamortized discount as well as financing arrangements entered into by our consolidated funds. Certain of our consolidated fund investment vehicles have entered into financing arrangements in connection with specific investments with the objective of enhancing returns. Such financing arrangements include $171.4 million of financing provided through total return swaps and $450.9 million of financing provided through a term loan and revolving credit facilities. These financing arrangements have been entered into with the objective of enhancing returns and are not direct obligations of the general partners of our private equity funds or our management companies

(3) These interest obligations on debt represent estimated interest to be paid over the maturity of the related debt obligation, which has been calculated assuming the debt outstanding at June 30, 2012 is not repaid until its maturity. Future interest rates are assumed to be those in effect as June 30, 2012, including both variable and fixed rates provided for by the relevant debt agreements. The amounts presented above include accrued interest on outstanding indebtedness.

(5) Represents obligations in our capital markets business to lend under various revolving credit facilities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than contractual commitments and other legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financings or liabilities.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows include the cash flows of our consolidated entities which, in particular, include our consolidated funds notwithstanding the fact that we may hold only a minority economic interest in those funds. The assets of our consolidated funds, on a gross basis, are substantially larger than the assets of our business and, accordingly, have a substantial effect on the cash flows reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The primary cash flow activities of our consolidated funds involve: (i) capital contributions from fund investors; (ii) using the capital of fund investors to make investments; (iii) financing certain investments with indebtedness; (iv) generating cash flows through the realization of investments; and (v) distributing cash flows from the realization of investments to fund investors. Because our consolidated funds are treated as investment companies for accounting purposes, certain of these cash flow amounts are included in our cash flows from operations.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $2.7 billion and $2.2 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These amounts primarily included: (i) proceeds from sales of investments net of purchases of investments by our funds of $1.9 billion during both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011; (ii) net realized gains on investments of $2.0 billion and $2.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively; and (iii) change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments of $2.7 billion and $1.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Certain KKR funds are, for GAAP purposes, investment companies and reflect their investments and other financial instruments at fair value.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Our net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $39.0 million and $(33.4) million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our investing activities included the purchases of furniture, computer hardware and leasehold improvements of $17.4 million and $1.1 million, as well as a (decrease) increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents that primarily funds collateral requirements of $(56.5) million and $32.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(2.9) billion and $(2.0) billion during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our financing activities primarily included: (i) distributions to, net of contributions by our noncontrolling and redeeming noncontrolling interests, of $(2.3) billion and $(1.9) billion during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively; (ii) net proceeds received net of repayment of debt obligations of $(0.4) billion and $43.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively; and (iii) distributions to, net of contributions by partners, of $(107.6) million and $(107.4) million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of fees, expenses and investment income. Our management bases these estimates and judgments on available information, historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, these estimates, judgments and assumptions are often subjective and may be impacted negatively based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from those estimated, judged or assumed, revisions are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period in which the actual amounts become known. We believe the following critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying estimates, judgments or assumptions. Please see the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further detail regarding our critical accounting policies.

Principles of Consolidation

Our policy is to consolidate (i) those entities in which we hold a majority voting interest or have majority ownership and control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity, including those private equity, fixed income, and other investment funds and their respective consolidated funds in which the general partner is presumed to have control, or (ii) entities determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are considered the primary beneficiary.

With respect to the consolidated KKR funds, we generally have operational discretion and control, and limited partners have no substantive rights to impact ongoing governance and operating activities of the fund.

The consolidated KKR funds do not consolidate their majority owned and controlled investments in portfolio companies. Rather, those investments are accounted for as investments and carried at fair value as described below.

The KKR funds are consolidated notwithstanding the fact that we have only a minority economic interest in those funds. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, investment income and cash flows of the consolidated KKR funds on a gross basis, and the majority of the economic interests in those funds, which are held by third party investors, are attributed to noncontrolling interests in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. All of the management fees and certain other amounts earned by us from those funds are eliminated in consolidation. However, because the eliminated amounts are earned from, and funded by, noncontrolling interests, our attributable share of the net income from those funds is increased by the amounts eliminated. Accordingly, the elimination in consolidation of such amounts has no effect on net income (loss) attributable to us or our partners’ capital.

Noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests held by entities or persons other than us.

Fair Value Measurements

For the purposes of the discussion under this subsection “—Fair Value Measurements”:

Private Equity - Consists primarily of investments in portfolio companies of KKR funds and investments in infrastructure, natural resources and real estate.

Fixed Income - Consists primarily of investments in below investment grade corporate debt securities (primarily high yield bonds and syndicated bank loans), distressed and opportunistic debt and interests in collateralized loan obligations.

Other — Consists primarily of investments in common stock, preferred stock, warrants and options of companies that are not private equity or fixed income investments.

Investments and other financial instruments are measured and carried at fair value. The majority of investments and other financial instruments are held by the consolidated KKR funds. The KKR funds are, for GAAP purposes, investment companies and reflect their investments and other financial instruments at fair value. KKR has retained the specialized accounting for the consolidated KKR funds in consolidation. Accordingly, the unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the investments held by the KKR funds are reflected as a component of net gains (losses) from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For investments and certain other financial instruments that are not held in a consolidated KKR fund, KKR has elected the fair value option since these investments and other financial instruments are similar to those in the consolidated KKR funds. Such election is irrevocable and is applied on an investment by investment basis at initial recognition. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are reflected as a component of net gains (losses) from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The methodology for measuring the fair value of such investments and other financial instruments is consistent with the methodology applied to investments and other financial instruments that are held in consolidated KKR funds.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, cash and cash equivalents held at consolidated entities, restricted cash and cash equivalents, due from / to affiliates, other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. KKR’s debt obligations, except for KKR’s Senior Notes, bear interest at floating rates and therefore fair value approximates carrying value. The fair value for KKR’s Senior Notes was derived using Level II inputs similar to those utilized in valuing fixed income investments.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve varying levels of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on a variety of factors. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined under GAAP, are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets and liabilities. The hierarchical levels defined under GAAP are as follows from highest to lowest:

Level I

Level II

Inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level II inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. The type of investments and other financial instruments included in this category are fixed income investments, convertible debt securities indexed to publicly-listed securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives. We classified 7.7% of total investments measured and reported at fair value as Level II at June 30, 2012.

Level III

Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The types of assets and liabilities generally included in this category are private portfolio companies and fixed income investments for which a sufficiently liquid trading market does not exist. We classified 65.9% of total investments measured and reported at fair value as Level III at June 30, 2012. The valuation of our Level III investments at June 30, 2012 represents management’s best estimate of the amounts that we would anticipate realizing on the sale of these investments at such date.

Level II Valuation Methodologies

Level III Valuation Methodologies

The majority of our Level III investments are private equity investments that are valued utilizing unobservable pricing inputs. Management’s determination of fair value is based upon the best information available for a given circumstance and may incorporate assumptions that are management’s best estimates after consideration of a variety of internal and external factors. We generally employ two valuation methodologies when determining the fair value of a private equity investment. The first methodology is typically a market comparables analysis that considers key financial inputs and recent public and private transactions and other available measures including EBITDA multiples and control premiums. Other measures are also used in arriving at a market comparables valuation including illiquidity discounts, the presence of significant unconsolidated assets and liabilities and any favorable or unfavorable tax attributes. The second methodology utilized is typically a discounted cash flow analysis, which incorporates significant assumptions and judgments. Estimates of key inputs used in this methodology include the weighted average cost of capital for the investment and assumed inputs used to calculate terminal values, such as exit EBITDA multiples. Other inputs are also used in the discounted cash flow methodology and include assumed growth rates, capital structure, risk premiums and other factors, including, if applicable, factors relating to our estimation of the most likely buyer or market participant for a hypothetical monetization event, which might include public equity offerings or a sale to a private equity investor or a strategic buyer. Also, as discussed in greater detail under “—Business Environment,” a change in interest rates could have a significant impact on valuations. In certain cases the results of the discounted cash flow approach can be significantly impacted by these estimates. Upon completion of the valuations conducted using the market comparables methodology and the discounted cash flow methodology, a weighting is ascribed to each method, and an illiquidity discount is typically applied where appropriate. The ultimate fair value recorded for a particular investment will generally be within the range suggested by the two methodologies. As of June 30, 2012, the weights ascribed to the market comparables methodology and the discounted cash flow methodology for our Level III private equity investments was 48% and 52%, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, we believe that the approach of using both the market multiples methodology and the discounted cash flow methodology resulted in valuations of our aggregate Level III private equity portfolio that were generally lower than if only the discounted cash flow methodology had been used and that were generally higher than if only the market comparables methodology had been used. In addition, our Level III fixed income investments are valued using values obtained from dealers or market makers, and where these values are not available, fixed income investments are valued by KKR using internally developed valuation models. Valuation models are based on discounted cash flow analyses, for which the key inputs are determined based on market comparables, which incorporate similar instruments from similar issuers. As discussed above and in the notes to our financial statements, we utilize several unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions in determining the fair value of our Level III investments. These unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions may differ by investment and in the application of our valuation methodologies. Our reported fair value estimates could vary materially if we had chosen to incorporate different unobservable pricing inputs and other assumptions or, for applicable investments, if we only used either the discounted cash flow methodology or the market comparables methodology instead of assigning a weighting to both methodologies.

Level III Valuation Process

The valuation process involved for Level III measurements for private equity, fixed income, and other investments is completed on a quarterly basis and is designed to subject the valuation of Level III investments to an appropriate level of consistency, oversight, and review. For purposes of this discussion, private equity investments include infrastructure and natural resources investments. KKR has a valuation committee for private equity investments and a valuation committee for fixed income and other investments. The private equity valuation committee may be assisted by subcommittees in the valuation of natural resources and real estate investments. Each of the private equity valuation committee and the fixed income valuation committee is assisted by a valuation team, which is comprised only of employees who are not investment professionals responsible for preparing preliminary valuations or for oversight of any of the investments being valued. The valuation committees and teams are responsible for coordinating and consistently implementing KKR’s quarterly valuation policies, guidelines and processes. For investments classified as Level III, investment professionals prepare preliminary valuations based on their evaluation of financial and operating data, company specific developments, market valuations of comparable companies and other factors. These preliminary valuations are reviewed with the investment professionals by the applicable valuation team and are also reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by KKR to perform certain procedures in order to assess the reasonableness of KKR’s valuations for all Level III investments, except for certain investments other than KKR private equity investments. All preliminary valuations are then reviewed

by the applicable valuation committee, and after reflecting any input from their respective valuation committees, the preliminary valuations are presented to a single committee consisting of Senior Principals involved in various aspects of the KKR business. When these valuations are approved by this single committee after reflecting any input from it, the valuations are presented to the audit committee of KKR’s board of directors and are then reported on to the board of directors.

As of June 30, 2012, upon completion by the independent valuation firm of certain limited procedures requested to be performed by them, the independent valuation firm concluded that the fair values, as determined by KKR, of the investments reviewed by them were reasonable. The limited procedures did not involve an audit, review, compilation or any other form of examination or attestation under generally accepted auditing standards and were not conducted on certain Level III fixed income investments. We are responsible for determining the fair value of investments in good faith, and the limited procedures performed by an independent valuation firm are supplementary to the inquiries and procedures that we are required to undertake to determine the fair value of the commensurate investments.

As described above, Level II and Level III investments were valued using internal models with significant unobservable inputs and our determinations of the fair values of these investments may differ materially from the values that would have resulted if readily observable inputs had existed. Additional external factors may cause those values, and the values of investments for which readily observable inputs exist, to increase or decrease over time, which may create volatility in our earnings and the amounts of assets and partners’ capital that we report from time to time.

Changes in the fair value of the investments of our consolidated private equity funds may impact the net gains (losses) from investment activities of our private equity funds as described under “—Key Financial Measures—Investment Income (Loss)—Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities.” Based on the investments of our private equity funds as of June 30, 2012, we estimate that an immediate 10% decrease in the fair value of the funds’ investments generally would result in a commensurate change in the amount of net gains (losses) from investment activities (except that carried interest would likely be more significantly impacted), regardless of whether the investment was valued using observable market prices or management estimates with significant unobservable pricing inputs. The impact that the consequential decrease in investment income would have on net income attributable to KKR would generally be significantly less than the amount described above, given that a majority of the change in fair value would be attributable to noncontrolling interests and therefore we are only impacted to the extent of our carried interest and our principal investments.

As of June 30, 2012, private equity investments which represented greater than 5% of the net assets of consolidated private equity investments included: (i) Alliance Boots GmbH valued at $4.6 billion; (ii) Dollar General Corporation valued at $2.8 billion; and (iii) HCA, Inc. valued at $2.6 billion.

Revenue Recognition

Certain of KKR’s private equity funds require the management company to refund up to 20% of any cash management fees earned from limited partners in the event that the funds recognize a carried interest. At such time as the fund recognizes a carried interest in an amount sufficient to cover 20% of the cash management fees earned or a portion thereof, a liability to the fund’s limited partners is recorded and revenue is reduced for the amount of the carried interest recognized, not to exceed 20% of the cash management fees earned. As of June 30, 2012, the amount subject to refund for which no liability has been recorded approximates $49.0 million as a result of certain funds not yet recognizing sufficient carried interests. The refunds to the limited partners are paid, and the liabilities relieved, at such time that the underlying investments are sold and the associated carried interests are realized. In the event that a fund’s carried interest is not sufficient to cover any of the amount that represents 20% of the cash management fees earned, these fees would not be returned to the funds’ limited partners, in accordance with the respective fund agreements.

Recognition of Investment Income

Investment income consists primarily of the net impact of: (i) realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments, (ii) dividends, (iii) interest income, (iv) interest expense and (v) foreign exchange gains and losses relating to mark-to-market activity on foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency options and foreign denominated debt. Unrealized gains or losses result from changes in fair value of investments during the period and are included in net gains (losses) from investment activities. Upon disposition of an investment, previously recognized unrealized gains or losses are reversed and a realized gain or loss is recognized. While this reversal generally does not significantly impact the net amounts of gains (losses) that we recognize from investment activities, it affects the manner in which we classify our gains and losses for reporting purposes.

Due to the consolidation of the majority of our funds, the portion of our funds’ investment income that is allocable to our carried interests and capital investments is not shown in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Instead, the investment income that KKR retains in its net income, after allocating amounts to noncontrolling interests, represents the portion of its investment income that is allocable to us. Because the substantial majority of our funds are consolidated and because we hold only a minority economic interest in our funds’ investments, our share of the investment income generated by our funds’ investment activities is significantly less than the total amount of investment income presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recognition of Carried Interest in Statement of Operations

Carried interest entitles the general partner of a fund to a greater allocable share of the fund’s earnings from investments relative to the capital contributed by the general partner and correspondingly reduces noncontrolling interests’ attributable share of those earnings. Amounts earned pursuant to carried interest are included as investment income (loss) in net gains (losses) from investment activities and are earned by the general partner of those funds to the extent that cumulative investment returns are positive and where applicable, preferred return thresholds have been met. If these investment returns decrease or turn negative in subsequent periods, recognized carried interest will be reversed and reflected as investment losses in net gains (losses) from investment activities. Carried interest is recognized based on the contractual formula set forth in the agreements governing the fund as if the fund was terminated at the reporting date with the then estimated fair values of the investments realized. Due to the extended durations of our private equity funds, we believe that this approach results in income recognition that best reflects our periodic performance in the management of those funds.

The instruments governing our private equity funds generally include a “clawback” or, in certain instances, a “net loss sharing” provision that, if triggered, may give rise to a contingent obligation that may require the general partner to return or contribute amounts to the fund for distribution to investors at the end of the life of the fund.

Clawback Provision

Under a “clawback” provision, upon the liquidation of a private equity fund, the general partner is required to return, on an after-tax basis, previously distributed carry to the extent that, due to the diminished performance of later investments, the

aggregate amount of carry distributions received by the general partner during the term of the fund exceed the amount to which the general partner was ultimately entitled.

Carry distributions arising subsequent to October 1, 2009 are allocated generally to carry pool participants and the KKR Group Partnerships.

Our other investment vehicles, including mezzanine, infrastructure and special situations, generally include clawback provisions; however, no distributions of carried interest have been made with respect to these vehicles as of June 30, 2012.

Net Loss Sharing Provision

The instruments governing certain of our private equity funds may also include a “net loss sharing provision,” that, if triggered, may give rise to a contingent obligation that may require the general partners to contribute capital to the fund, to fund 20% of the net losses on investments. In connection with the “net loss sharing provisions,” certain of our private equity funds allocate a greater share of their investment losses to us relative to the amounts contributed by us to those vehicles. In these vehicles, such losses would be required to be paid to the limited partners in those vehicles in the event of a liquidation of the fund regardless of whether any carried interest had previously been distributed. Unlike the “clawback” provisions, we will be responsible for amounts due under net loss sharing arrangements and will indemnify our principals for personal guarantees that they have provided with respect to such amounts.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2012, KKR adopted ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU specifies that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets or of liabilities. The amendments include requirements specific to measuring the fair value of those instruments, such as equity interests used as consideration in a business combination. An entity should measure the fair value of its own equity instrument from the perspective of a market participant that holds the instrument as an asset. With respect to financial instruments that are managed as part of a portfolio, an exception to fair value requirements is provided. That exception permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of such financial assets and financial liabilities at a price that would be received to sell a net asset position for a particular risk or to transfer a net liability position for a particular risk in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The amendments also clarify that premiums and discounts should only be applied if market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability. Premiums and discounts related to the size of an entity’s holding (e.g., a blockage factor) rather than as a characteristic of the asset or liability (e.g., a control premium) is not permitted in a fair value measurement.

The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements, including, among other things, (a) for fair value measurements categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy, (1) a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement, (2) the valuation process used by the reporting entity, and (3) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, if any, and (b) the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed (for example, a financial instrument that is measured at amortized cost in the statement of financial position but for which fair value is disclosed). The guidance also amends disclosure requirements for significant transfers between Level I and Level II and requires disclosure of all transfers between Levels I and II in the fair value hierarchy. KKR has adopted the enhanced disclosures as of January 1, 2012.

There were no new accounting pronouncements that were applicable in the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the information about market risk set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired controls.

As of June 30, 2012, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PUBLIC COMPANY EQUITY UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
OF
KKR & CO L.P.

This PUBLIC COMPANY EQUITY UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) of KKR & CO L.P. (the “ Partnership ”) is made by and between the Partnership and the undersigned (the “ Grantee ”), who provides services to KKR Management LLC, as the general partner of the Partnership. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein or in the KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “ Plan ”), shall be as defined in Appendix A attached hereto.

RECITALS

WHEREAS , the general partner of the Partnership has determined it is in the best interests of the Partnership to provide the Grantee with this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements herein made and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree to the following:

ARTICLE I
GRANT OF PUBLIC COMPANY EQUITY UNITS

Section 1.1. Grant of Public Company Equity Units

The Partnership hereby grants to the Grantee, effective as of the Grant Date specified on the REU Grant Certificate attached hereto as Appendix B (the “ Grant Date ”), the number of “public company equity units”, which are restricted equity units set forth in the REU Grant Certificate attached hereto, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each restricted equity unit that is granted pursuant to this Agreement represents the right to receive delivery of one Common Unit, subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan (each such restricted equity unit, an “ REU ”).

Section 1.2. REUs and Agreement Subject to Plan; Administrator

This Agreement and the grant of REUs provided for herein shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan, except that if there are any express differences or inconsistencies between the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership may delegate to any employee of the KKR Group its duties and powers hereunder, and any reference to the “Administrator” contained herein shall be deemed to include any such delegate.

ARTICLE II
VESTING AND SETTLEMENT OF REUS

Section 2.1. Vesting of REUs

(a) The following vesting provisions shall apply to the REUs:

(i) Subject to the Grantee’s continued service as a director of the general partner of the Partnership (“Service”) through the Service Vesting Date or Service Vesting Dates, as applicable, as specified in the REU Grant Certificate attached hereto, the REUs shall become vested on such date or dates, as applicable, as to the percentage(s) set forth in such REU Grant Certificate.

(ii) If, prior to the date the REUs are vested as provided in Section 2.1(a)(i) above or otherwise terminate pursuant to Section 2.1(b) below: (A) the Grantee dies or experiences a Disability; or (B) there occurs a Change in Control, then all unvested REUs shall be vested as a result thereof.

(iii) All REUs that become vested under this Section 2.1(a) are eligible to be Settled pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement.

(b) If the Grantee’s Service terminates for any reason other than due to the Grantee’s death or Disability as provided for in Section 2.1(a) above, all then unvested REUs shall immediately terminate and be forfeited without consideration, and no Common Units shall be delivered hereunder.

Section 2.2. Settlement of REUs

(a) To the extent that (i) an REU granted hereunder becomes vested pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above and (ii) the related Service Vesting Date has also occurred, then with respect to such percentage of REUs set forth next to the applicable Service Vesting Date on the REU Grant Certificate, such REU shall be Settled as soon as administratively practicable on or following the applicable Service Vesting Date for such REU; provided that the Administrator may determine that such Settlement may instead occur on or as soon as administratively practicable after the first day of the next permissible trading window of Common Units that opens for members of the Board and employees of the KKR Group to sell Common Units (provided that in any event such Settlement shall not be later than the time permitted under Section 409A, if applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, the Settlement of any REUs that become vested pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) above shall not be accelerated, such that, with respect to any such REUs, only that

percentage of such REUs that would otherwise have become vested on each applicable Service Vesting Date as set forth on the REU Grant Certificate pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) shall be Settled at each such Service Vesting Date in accordance with the foregoing sentence. The date on which any REU is to be Settled hereunder is referred to as a “Delivery Date.” The Settlement of each REU shall be effected in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of, Section 2.2(b) below.

(b) On any Delivery Date, each vested REU that is then being Settled shall be cancelled in exchange for the Partnership delivering, or causing to be delivered by the Designated Service Recipient, to the Grantee either (i) the number of Common Units equal to the number of REUs that are to be Settled on such Delivery Date pursuant to Section 2.2(a) above or (ii) an amount of cash, denominated in U.S. dollars, equal to the Fair Market Value of the foregoing number of Common Units (a “ Cash Payment”). The Administrator may elect in its sole discretion whether to Settle the REUs in Common Units or by a Cash Payment.

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Article II relating to the number of REUs that are to be Settled on any applicable Delivery Date and solely to the extent permitted under Section 409A, if applicable, the Partnership may impose such other conditions and procedures in relation to the Settlement of REUs as it may reasonably determine.

(d) Any of the foregoing payments or deliveries shall in all instances be subject to Sections 4.3 and 4.5 below, as applicable.

Section 2.3. No Distribution Payments

The REUs granted to the Grantee hereunder do not include the right to receive any distribution payments.

ARTICLE III
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS

Section 3.1. Transfers of REUs

(a) The Grantee may not Transfer all or any portion of the Grantee’s REUs (including to any Family Related Holder)

without the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions (including the receipt of such legal or tax opinions and other documents that the Partnership may require) as are determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Prior to a Transfer of any REUs to any Other Holder, the Other Holder must consent in writing to be bound by this Agreement as an Other Holder and deliver such consent to the Administrator. Any purported Transfer that is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void.

(b) In the event of a property settlement or separation agreement between the Grantee and his or her spouse, the Grantee agrees that he or she shall use reasonable efforts to retain all of his or her REUs and shall reimburse his or her spouse for any interest he or she may have under this Agreement out of funds, assets or proceeds separate and distinct from his or her interest under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.1. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States of America without giving effect to any otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law that would apply the Laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 4.2. Arbitration

(a) Any and all disputes which cannot be settled amicably, including any ancillary claims of any party, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the validity, negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including the validity, scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision) shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in New York, New York in accordance with the then-existing Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. If the parties to the dispute fail to agree on the selection of an arbitrator within 30 days of the receipt of the request for arbitration, the International Chamber of Commerce shall make the appointment. The arbitrator shall be a lawyer and shall conduct the proceedings in the English language. Performance under

this Agreement shall continue if reasonably possible during any arbitration proceedings. Except as required by Law or as may be reasonably required in connection with ancillary judicial proceedings to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm or challenge an arbitration award, the arbitration proceedings, including any hearings, shall be confidential, and the parties shall not disclose any awards, any materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration, or any documents produced by another party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain. Judgment on any award rendered by an arbitration tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereover.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2(a), the Partnership or its general partner, as applicable, may bring an action or special proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of compelling the Grantee to arbitrate, seeking temporary or preliminary relief in aid of an arbitration hereunder, or enforcing an arbitration award and, for the purposes of this clause (b), the Grantee (i) expressly consents to the application of Section 4.2(c) below to any such action or proceeding, (ii) agrees that proof shall not be required that monetary damages for breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be difficult to calculate and that remedies at law would be inadequate, and (iii) irrevocably appoints the Secretary or General Counsel of the Partnership (or any officer of the Partnership) at the address identified for the Partnership as set forth in Section 4.6 below as such Grantee’s agent for service of process in connection with any such action or proceeding and agrees that service of process upon such agent, who shall promptly advise such Grantee of any such service of process, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Grantee in any such action or proceeding.

(c) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 4.2, OR ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ANCILLARY TO AN ARBITRATION OR CONTEMPLATED ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR

RELATING TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT. Such ancillary judicial proceedings include any suit, action or proceeding to compel arbitration, to obtain temporary or preliminary judicial relief in aid of arbitration, or to confirm or challenge an arbitration award. The parties acknowledge that the forums designated by this clause (c) have a reasonable relation to this Agreement and to the parties’ relationship with one another. The parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they now or hereafter may have to personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue of any such ancillary suit, action or proceeding referred to in this Section 4.2 brought in any court referenced therein and such parties agree not to plead or claim the same.

Section 4.3. Remedies; Recoupment; Right to Set-Off

(a) The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by Law or under the terms of any other applicable agreement.

(b) To the extent required or advisable, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules promulgated thereunder and any other similar Laws, the Administrator may specify in any other document or a policy to be incorporated into this Agreement by reference, that the Grantee’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to REUs awarded hereunder and/or Common Units delivered to the Grantee in respect of REUs awarded hereunder shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment.

(c) The Administrator may set-off any amounts due under this Agreement or otherwise against any amounts which may be owed to the Partnership or its Affiliates by the Grantee under this Agreement, any other relationship or otherwise. The Grantee hereby expressly authorizes the Partnership and its Affiliates to take any and all actions on the Grantee’s behalf (including, without limitation, payment, credit and satisfaction of amounts owed) in connection with the set-off of any amounts owed to the Partnership or its Affiliates or otherwise.

Section 4.4. Amendments and Waivers

(a) This Agreement (including the Definitions contained in Appendix A attached hereto, the REU Grant Certificate attached as Appendix B hereto, and any other provisions as may be required to be appended to this Agreement under applicable

local Law) may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified only in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Plan or Section 13 of the Plan, as applicable, or as may be required for purposes of compliance or enforceability with applicable local Law; provided, however, that the REU Grant Certificate shall be deemed amended from time to time to reflect any adjustments provided for under the Plan.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder (other than a failure or delay beyond a period of time specified herein) shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 4.5. Withholding

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if applicable, the Partnership may require payment of any amount it may determine to be necessary to withhold for any applicable federal, state, local or other taxes in connection with any vesting, payments or deliveries made to the Grantee under this Agreement, including, without limitation, pursuant to Article II herein. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, to the extent that such withholding arises in connection with the vesting or Settlement of any REUs through (i) the delivery of Common Units, such withholding payments may, as determined by the Administrator, be funded by reducing the number of Common Units otherwise deliverable to the Grantee upon Settlement by an amount of Common Units having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount of taxes that are then due or (ii) the payment of a Cash Payment due to the Grantee upon Settlement, such withholding payments shall be funded by the withholding of the amount of taxes that are then due from such Cash Payment.

Section 4.6. Notices

All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by courier service, by fax or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or with respect to subsections (a) and (b), at such other address for a party as shall be specified for purposes of notice given in accordance with this Section 4.6):

Attention: Chief Financial Officer

(b) If to the Grantee, to the most recent address for the Grantee in the books and records of the Partnership or its general partner.

Section 4.7. Entire Agreement; Termination of Agreement; Survival

(a) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, pertaining thereto. The Grantee acknowledges that the grant of REUs provided for under this Agreement is in full satisfaction of any and all grants of equity or equity-based awards that representatives of the Partnership or its Affiliates, on or prior to the date hereof, may have informed the Grantee that such Grantee is entitled to receive.

(b) This Agreement shall terminate when the Grantee and all Other Holders cease to hold any of the REUs that have been granted hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Article V shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.8. Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 4.9. Binding Effect

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their successors, executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns.

Section 4.10. Further Assurances

The Grantee shall perform all other acts and execute and deliver all other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

Section 4.11. Interpretation; Defined Terms; Section 409A; Service with Designated Service Recipient; Headings

(a) Throughout this Agreement, nouns, pronouns and verbs shall be construed as masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, whichever shall be applicable. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to “Articles,” “Sections” and clauses shall

refer to corresponding provisions of this Agreement. The word “including” is not meant to be exclusive, but rather shall mean “including without limitation” wherever used in this Agreement. Reference to “hereto”, “herein” and similar words is to this entire Agreement (including any Appendices) and not a particular sentence or section of this Agreement. All references to “date” and “time” shall mean the applicable date (other than a Saturday or Sunday or any day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed or any day on which banks in the city of New York, New York are required to close, in which case such date refers to the next occurring date that is not described in this parenthetical) or time in New York, New York.

(b) All references to any “separation from service” or termination of the Services provided by the Grantee shall be deemed to refer to a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, if applicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of the Grantee’s termination of Service the Grantee is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or delivery of Common Units otherwise payable or provided hereunder as a result of such termination of Service is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Partnership will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or delivery hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or delivery of Common Units ultimately paid or provided to the Grantee) until the date that is six months following the Grantee’s termination of Service (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A) and (ii) if any other payments or other deliveries due to the Grantee hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such payments or other deliveries shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other delivery compliant under Section 409A, or otherwise such payment or other delivery shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner, determined by the Administrator, that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. The Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 4.11(b) in good faith; provided that none of the Partnership, the General Partner, the Administrator nor any of the Partnership’s or its affiliates’ employees,

directors or representatives shall have any liability to the Grantee with respect to this Section 4.11(b).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, any references to the Service of the Grantee in this Agreement refer solely to the Service of the Grantee to the general partner of the Partnership. The grant of REUs under this Agreement in no way implies any employment relationship with the General Partner, the Partnership or with any of its affiliates.

(d) The headings and subheadings in this Agreement are included for convenience and identification only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 4.12. Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by telecopy or other electronic transmission service shall be considered original executed counterparts for purposes of this Agreement.
