NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The above financial statements have been prepared by Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. a Delaware corporation, and subsidiaries (the “Company”) without audit by independent public accountants, pursuant to the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The statements, in the opinion of the Company, present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the dates and periods indicated.  The information presented as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 has not been audited by independent accountants, but includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods.  The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results that might be expected for the full fiscal year.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company believes that the disclosures contained in the financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”).  SFAS 142, which is effective January 1, 2002, includes requirements to test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment rather than amortize them.  The Company has performed an evaluation of its goodwill and has determined that there was no goodwill impairment as of January 1, 2002.

Goodwill amortization expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, after tax, was $139,000 and $275,000, respectively.

The effects on earnings and earnings per share of excluding such goodwill amortization from the second quarter and first six months of 2001 are as follows:

Property management contracts of $9,448,000 were acquired and estimated to have a useful life of seven years at the time of acquisition. At June 30, 2002, the contracts having remaining useful lives ranging from three to four years and a net book value of $4,512,000.

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and applies to all long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model for the impairment of disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. Additionally, SFAS 144 expands the scope of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that (1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and (2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). The provisions of SFAS 145 relating to the early extinguishment of debt are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company has chosen early adoption of these provisions.

NOTE 2 - NOTES RECEIVABLE

Notes receivable consists primarily of non-performing notes and related assets acquired from financial institutions.  A majority of these notes are typically collateralized by real estate, personal property or guarantees.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

The Company has a number of partnerships and joint venture interests ranging from 2% to 50% that were formed to acquire, manage, develop and/or sell real estate.  These investments are accounted for under the equity method.  Investments in joint ventures also include mezzanine loans to real estate developers for new single-family residential developments.  These investments are accounted for under the cost method.

NOTE 4 - LINES OF CREDIT

In June 2002, the Company entered into a loan agreement that provides the Company with a revolving credit facility in the amount of $30 million.  The loan bears interest at a range of rates from prime to prime plus 0.50%, or, at borrower’s option, LIBOR plus 2.50% to LIBOR plus 3.00%.  The principal repayments under these facilities for the years 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 are $15 million, $10 million, $0 and $5 million, respectively.

The Company's ability to borrow under these facilities is subject to compliance with certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with the covenants.

NOTE 5 - SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES

In connection with the issuance of the senior unsecured notes, the Company issued 597,888 warrants to the purchasers of the notes at an exercise price of $6.25 expiring June 2006.  The warrants contain a put provision that requires the Company, at the option of the note holders, to repurchase the common shares issued upon exercise of the warrants, at the prevailing market price, during years four through six of the warrant term.

The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a combination of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and Monte Carlo Simulation.  The estimated fair value of the warrants at issuance was recorded as deferred loan costs and deducted from the note balance.  The deferred loan costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the notes.  A liability was also recorded for the fair value of the warrants, which is adjusted quarterly to record the warrants at their estimated fair value while they are outstanding.  The estimated fair value of the warrants was $999,000 and $714,000 at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities.  For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the change in value, which amounted to an increase of $285,000, was recorded as valuation adjustment - warrants expense.

NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBT

In June 2002, the convertible subordinated debentures were converted into 749,000 of the Company's common shares at the then-prevailing market price of $5.31 per share, for a total conversion value of $3,977,000.  Subordinated debt was issued for the balance of the convertible subordinated debt in the amount of $2,773,000. See note 7.  The Company recognized a gain of $750,000 on the extinguishment of the debt.

NOTE 7- SUBORDINATED DEBT

In June 2002, the Company issued $2,773,000 of subordinated debentures. The debentures have a term of 46 months and an interest rate of 6%, payable monthly.

Non-recurring, non-cash Japan IPO expense includes $1.1 million related to incentive stock issued to employees of the Company in connection with the IPO.

NOTE 9 - RESTRICTED STOCK

In April 2002, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer was awarded a grant of 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock with dilution protection that vests over the remaining term of his employment agreement, which expires in December 2009.

NOTE 10 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. The tax provision associated with items included in other comprehensive income for the Company was $180,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The following table provides a summary of the comprehensive income:

NOTE 11- INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $1,987,000 for the first six months of 2002.  This equates to an overall tax rate that was lower than the federal statutory rate due to a portion of the gain on the sale of stock of a subsidiary not being subject to taxation.
