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. 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.

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 in 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 terms "assets under management" or "AUM" represent the assets from which KKR is entitled to receive fees or a carried interest and general partner capital. 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; and (iv) the value of outstanding structured finance vehicles. KKR's definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that is set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages or calculated pursuant to any regulatory requirements.

In this report, the terms "fee paying assets under management" or "FPAUM" represent only those assets under management from which KKR receives fees. 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 terms "fee related earnings" or "FRE" is comprised of segment operating revenues, less segment operating expenses. The components of FRE on a segment basis differ from the equivalent U.S. 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

Table of Contents

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; (vi) the exclusion of certain reimbursable expenses and (vii) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items.

In this report, the terms "economic net income" or "ENI" is a measure of profitability for KKR's reportable segments and is comprised of: (i) FRE; plus (ii) segment investment income, 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 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 relating to noncontrolling interests; and (iii) the exclusion of income taxes.

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

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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

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 clients. Led by Henry Kravis and George Roberts, KKR conducts business through 14 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 controlling equity 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 KKR Group Partnership Units ("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"). As of March 31, 2011, KKR & Co. L.P. owned 31.7% of the KKR Group Partnership Units and KKR's principals owned 68.3% of the KKR Group Partnership Units through KKR Holdings. From time to time, the percentage ownership in the KKR Group Partnerships will change as KKR Holdings and/or principals exchange KKR Group Partnership Units 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 its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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 the KKR & Co. L.P.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

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 held by KKR Holdings in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

References in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to KKR's "principals" are to KKR's senior executives and non-employee operating consultants who hold interests in KKR's business through KKR Holdings, including those principals who also hold interests in our Managing Partner entitling them to vote for the election of its 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of fees, expenses and investment income 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 those private equity, fixed income, and capital solution oriented funds and their respective consolidated funds (the "KKR Funds") in which the general partner is presumed to have control, or (ii) entities determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which it is considered the primary beneficiary.

The majority of the entities consolidated by KKR are comprised of: (i) those entities in which KKR has majority ownership and has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions; and (ii) the consolidated KKR Funds, which are those entities in which KKR holds substantive, controlling general partner or managing member interests. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, fees, 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,

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

are attributed to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities in the accompanying condensed consolidated 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 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.

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 variable interest entity 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 variable interest entity 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 previously unconsolidated.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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:

	March 31, 2011		December 31, 2010

Investments	$	42,600	$	35,867
Due from Affiliates		5,314		3,225

Maximum Exposure to Loss	$	47,914	$	39,092

For those unconsolidated VIEs that are funds in which KKR is the sponsor, KKR may have an obligation as general partner to provide commitments to such funds. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the amount 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 (i.e., the exit price). KKR measures and reports its investments and other financial instruments at fair value.

KKR has categorized and disclosed its investments and other financial instruments measured and reported at fair value based on the hierarchical levels as defined within GAAP. GAAP establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type and the characteristics specific to the asset or liability. Investments and other financial instruments for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments and other financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level I—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include publicly listed equities, publicly listed derivatives, equity securities sold, but not yet purchased and call options. 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—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is generally determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Investments which are included in this category generally include corporate credit investments, convertible debt securities indexed to

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

publicly-listed securities, corporate credit securities sold, but not yet purchased and certain over-the-counter derivatives.

Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments that are included in this category generally include private Portfolio Companies held directly through the KKR Funds.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. KKR's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and it considers factors specific to the investment.

In cases where an investment or financials instrument is measured and reported at fair value is transferred into or out of Level III of the fair value hierarchy, KKR accounts for the transfer at the end of the reporting period.

For certain investments, KKR has elected the fair value option. Such election is irrevocable and is applied on an investment by investment basis at initial recognition. The Partnership has applied the fair value option for certain loans and certain investments in debt and equity securities, that otherwise would not have been carried at fair value, with gains and losses recorded in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Loans, debt and equity securities for which the fair value option has been elected are recorded within Investments. The methodology for measuring the fair value of such investments is consistent with the methodology applied to private equity and fixed income investments. Interest income on interest bearing loans and debt securities on which the fair value option has been elected is based on stated coupon rates adjusted for the accretion of purchase discounts and the amortization of purchase premiums. See Note 5 "Fair Value Measurements".

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, 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 (See Note 8) bear interest at floating rates and therefore fair value approximates carrying value.

Investments

Investments consist primarily of private equity, fixed income, and other investments. Security and loan transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Further disclosure on investments is presented in Note 4, "Investments."

Private Equity

Private equity investments consist primarily of investments in Portfolio Companies of KKR Funds and other investment vehicles. The KKR Funds and other investment vehicles reflect investments 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.

Private equity investments 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.

The determination of fair value for those investments that do not have a readily observable market price may differ materially from the values that would have resulted if a ready market had existed. For these investments, KKR generally uses a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach when determining fair value. Management considers various internal and external factors when applying these approaches, including the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, current market conditions, recent public market and private transactions for comparable securities, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The fair value recorded for a particular investment will generally be within the range suggested by the two approaches.

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.

Fixed Income

Fixed income investments consist of investments in high yield bonds, syndicated bank loans, and interests in collateralized loan obligations. These investments are valued at the mean of the "bid" and "asked" prices obtained from third party pricing services. In the event that third party pricing service quotations are unavailable, values are obtained from dealers or market makers, and where those values are not available, fixed income investments are valued by KKR or KKR may engage a third party valuation firm to assist in such valuations.

Derivatives

Derivative financial instruments include foreign currency forward and options contracts, total rate of return swap contracts and credit default swap contracts. 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 derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its bank 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.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Entities

Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represents the ownership interests that third parties hold in entities that are consolidated in the financial statements.

Table of Contents

KKR & CO. L.P.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The allocable share of income and expense attributable to those interests are accounted for as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities.

Noncontrolling Interests held by KKR Holdings

Noncontrolling interests attributable to KKR Holdings include KKR's principals' economic interests in the KKR Group Partnership Units. 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 profit based cash amounts are not paid by KKR and are borne by KKR Holdings.

Income of KKR after allocation to controlling interests in consolidated entities, 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, who are the equity holders of the KKR Group Partnerships during the period. However, 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 results in the equity allocations shown in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity to differ from the pro rata split of net assets and liabilities.

Fees

Fees consist primarily of (i) monitoring, consulting and transaction 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 vehicles, and separately managed accounts, and (iii) fees from capital markets activities. These fees are based on the contractual terms of the governing agreements and are recognized in the period during which the related services are performed.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, fees consisted of the following:

		Three Months Ended March 31,

		2011		2010
Monitoring and Consulting Fees		$	113,744	$	25,336
Transaction Fees			86,665		51,794
Management Fees			19,421		16,401
Incentive Fees			12,013		12,500

	Total Fee Income	$	231,843	$	106,031

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 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. Monitoring fees amounted to $90,427 and $22,244 for the three months ended March 31,

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

2011 and 2010, respectively. 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. These reimbursements amounted to $10,602 and $3,092 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Consulting fees are earned by certain consolidated entities for other 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.

Transaction Fees

Transaction fees are earned by KKR primarily in connection with successful private equity and other 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.

Management Fees

Management fees are earned by KKR for management services provided to private equity funds, fixed income funds, capital solution oriented funds, 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 attributable to KKR or KKR partners' capital.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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, 2011 and will automatically be renewed for successive one-year terms following December 31, 2011 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. In addition, Compensation and Benefits expense also includes: (i) equity-based payment charges associated with the vesting of KKR Holdings units; (ii) equity-based payment charges associated with the vesting of restricted equity units; and (iii) 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 payments is presented in Note 10 "Equity-based Payments."

Carried Interests

Carried interests entitle 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 reduce noncontrolling interests' attributable share of those earnings. Amounts earned pursuant to carried interests are included as investment income in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and are earned by the general partner of those funds to the extent that cumulative investment returns are positive. If these investment returns decrease or turn negative in subsequent periods, recognized carried interest will be reduced and reflected as investment losses. 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, KKR believes that this approach results in income recognition that best reflects the periodic performance of KKR in the management of those funds. Carried interest recognized amounted to approximately $332.1 million and $323.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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".

Exchange Agreement

The exchange agreement provides for the exchange of KKR Group Partnership Units held by KKR Holdings for KKR & Co. L.P. common units.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Certain exchanges of KKR Group Partnership Units from KKR Holdings or transferees of its KKR Group Partnership Units pursuant to KKR's exchange agreement is expected to result in an increase in Management Holdings Corp.'s and its corporate subsidiaries share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Management Holdings, a portion 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. No payments have been made under the tax receivable agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

KKR will record 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 will record any benefit of the reduced income tax our intermediate holding company may recognize as such benefit is recognized.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no recently issued accounting pronouncements that were applicable and adopted by KKR.

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.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Level III investments and other financial instruments by valuation methodology as of March 31, 2011:

Changes in private equity, fixed income, and other investments measured and reported at fair value for which Level III inputs have been used to determine fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

The Transfers Out noted in the table above for private equity investments are attributable to certain Portfolio Companies that completed an initial public offering during the period. The Transfers Out noted above for 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.

The Transfers In noted in the table above are principally attributable to certain corporate credit investments that experienced an insignificant level of market activity during the period and thus were valued in the absence of 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 significant transfers between Level I and Level II during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

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 number of additional common units that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common units had been issued.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, basic and diluted earnings per common unit were calculated as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, a total of 30,000 unvested equity awards that have been granted under the KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan are dilutive and as such have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common unit.

Certain of KKR's private equity fund investment vehicles have entered into financing arrangements with major financial institutions in connection with specific private equity investments with the objective of enhancing returns. These financing arrangements are not direct obligations of the general partners of KKR's private equity funds or its management companies. As of March 31, 2011, KKR had made $1,906.3 million in these specific private equity investments of which $989.0 million was funded using these financing arrangements. Total availability under these financing arrangements amounted to $992.9 million as of March 31, 2011. The $989.0 million of financing was structured through various instruments as discussed below.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

Approximately $796.4 million of the $989.0 million of financing was structured through the use of total return swaps which effectively convert third party capital contributions into borrowings of KKR. Of this total, $171.4 million of the total return swaps mature in May 2011 and October 2012 with the remainder maturing in February 2015. 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 certain of these financing arrangements. As of March 31, 2011, the per annum rates of interest payable for the financings range from three-month LIBOR plus 1.35% to three-month LIBOR plus 1.75% (rates ranging from 1.7% to 2.1%). On May 4, 2011, the terms of the total return swaps that were to mature in May 2011 were amended to extend the maturity, so that the total return swaps now expire in October 2012 and the per annum rate of interest was increased from LIBOR plus 1.35% to LIBOR plus 2.50%.

Approximately $182.2 million of financing was structured through the use of a syndicated term loan 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 rate at March 31, 2011 on the borrowings outstanding was 4.65%.

In November 2010, a KKR investment vehicle entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the "Investment Credit Agreement"). The Investment Credit Agreement provides for up to $28.1 million of non-recourse, asset-based revolving credit facility subject to availability under a borrowing base determined by the value of certain specific assets pledged as collateral security for obligations under the agreement and a $5.6 million sub-limit for letters of credit. Based on the level of certain assets in the investment vehicle, as of March 31, 2011, KKR had availability under the facility of $13.5 million of which $10.4 million of borrowings were outstanding. In addition, there is a letter of credit of $0.6 million outstanding. As of March 31, 2011, the interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the Investment Credit Agreement ranged from 2.80% to 2.81%. This financing arrangement is non-recourse to KKR beyond the specific assets pledged as collateral.

On September 29, 2010, KKR Group Finance Co. LLC (the "Issuer"), a subsidiary of 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 was $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, the fair value of the Senior Notes was $513.0 million.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

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.

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 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 became guarantors of the Corporate Credit Agreement, together with certain general partners of our private equity funds. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011, no borrowings were outstanding under the Corporate Credit Agreement.

On February 27, 2008, KKR Capital Markets Holdings L.P. ("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. The KCM Credit Agreement has a maturity date of February 27, 2013. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011, no borrowings were outstanding under the KCM Credit Agreement.

In June 2007, KKR PEI Investments L.P., (the "KPE Investment Partnership") entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement, expiring in June 2012, with a syndicate of lenders (the "Principal Credit Agreement"). The Principal Credit Agreement provides for up to $925.0 million of senior

secured credit subject to availability under a borrowing base determined by the value of certain investments pledged as collateral security for obligations under the agreement. The borrowing base is subject to certain investment concentration limitations and the value of the investments constituting the borrowing base is subject to certain advance rates based on type of investment. A wholly-owned subsidiary of KKR holds $65.0 million of commitments which has effectively reduced KKR's availability under the Principal Credit Agreement on a consolidated basis to $860.0 million. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011, no borrowings were outstanding under the Principal Credit Agreement.

Foreign currency adjustments related to these borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2010 are recorded in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 "Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities" for foreign currency adjustments related to these borrowings.

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 the 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 rate was 1.31% and 0.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. KKR's income tax provision was $30,783 and $13,452 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The effective rate differs from the statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, substantially due to the following: (a) 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 (b) a portion of the compensation charges attributable to KKR are not deductible for tax purposes.

During the three month period ending March 31, 2011, there were no material changes to the 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.

KKR principals 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 the ability to exchange into common units of KKR & Co. L.P. on a one-for-one basis. As of March 31, 2011, KKR Holdings owns approximately 68.3%, or 466,689,633, 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 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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

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 466,689,633 KKR Holdings units have been legally allocated, but the allocation of 31,726,299 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 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 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 unit (determined using the latest available closing price of KKR & Co. L.P. common units) on the grant date multiplied by the number of vested units.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

Equity-based payment expense on unvested units is calculated based on the fair value of a unit (determined using the latest available closing price of KKR & Co. L.P. common units) at the time of grant, discounted for the lack of participation rights in the expected distributions on unvested units, which ranges from 5% to 38%, multiplied by the number of unvested units on the grant date. Additionally, the calculation of equity-based payment expense on unvested units assumes a forfeiture rate of up to 9% annually based upon expected turnover by class of principal. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, KKR recorded equity-based payment expense of $89.6 million and $220.4 million, respectively, in relation to equity based awards. As of March 31, 2011 there was approximately $498.5 million of estimated unrecognized equity-based payment expense related to unvested awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 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, 2011 through March 31, 2011 is presented below:

The weighted average remaining vesting period over which unvested units are expected to vest is 1.9 years.

A summary of the remaining vesting tranches of KKR's unvested equity based awards granted to KKR principals is presented below:

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

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 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 occurs in installments up to five years from the date of grant and was contingent on, among other things, KKR's common units becoming listed and traded on the NYSE or another U.S. exchange. On July 15, 2010, KKR & Co. L.P. completed its listing on the NYSE. Accordingly, no equity-based payment expense was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, KKR recorded equity-based payment expense of $7.9 million in relation to the restricted equity awards.

As of March 31, 2011, there was approximately $29.3 million of estimated unrecognized expense related to unvested awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 year, using the graded attribution method, which treats each vesting portion as a separate award.

A summary of the status of KKR Holding's unvested restricted equity units granted to professionals, support staff, and other personnel from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011 is presented below:

The weighted average remaining vesting period over which unvested units are expected to vest is 1.5 years.

Certain KKR principals who hold KKR Group Partnership Units through KKR Holdings units are expected to be allocated, on a discretionary basis, distributions on KKR Group Partnership Units received by KKR Holdings. These discretionary amounts entitle 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 equity-based payment expense. This equity-based payment expense has been recorded based on the unvested portion of quarterly earnings distributions received by KKR Holdings. Equity-based payment expense relating to this discretionary allocation amounted to $44.5 million and $32.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Under the KKR & Co. L.P. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), KKR is permitted to grant to principals, employees, the directors of the Managing Partner, and other personnel, non-qualified unit options, unit appreciation rights, restricted common units, deferred restricted common units, phantom restricted common units and other awards representing KKR & Co. L.P. common units. The issuance of KKR & Co. L.P. common units pursuant to awards under the Equity Incentive Plan dilute common unitholders 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 March 31, 2011, 30,000 KKR & Co. L.P. common units have been granted under the Equity Incentive Plan, which vest over one year from the date of grant.

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 an expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, $139.5 million and $99.4 million were expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

To the extent previously recorded carried interest is adjusted to reflect decreases in the underlying funds' valuations at period end, related profit sharing amounts previously accrued are adjusted and reflected as a credit to current period expense.

As of January 1, 2011, all expense related to equity-based awards is included within Compensation and Benefits. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, $42.7 million of expense related to equity-based payments is included within General and Administrative expense.

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. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, KFN had consolidated assets of $8.5 billion and $8.4 billion, respectively, and shareholders' equity of $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. There were no outstanding shares of KFN held by KKR as of March 31, 2011. If KKR were to exercise all of each of its outstanding vested options, KKR's ownership interest in KFN would be less than 1% of KFN's outstanding shares as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

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. Side-by-side investments are investments in Portfolio Companies that are made on the same terms and conditions as those acquired by the applicable fund, except that the side-by-side investments are not subject to management fees or a carried interest. The cash invested by these individuals aggregated $15.1 million and $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These investments are not included in the accompanying financial statements.

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 their 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 $1.2 million and $2.1 million for the use of these aircraft for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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 $1.6 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

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

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. These investment funds and co-investment vehicles are managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., an SEC registered investment adviser. KKR also manages investments in infrastructure and natural resources.

Through the Public Markets segment, KKR manages a specialty finance company, a number of investment funds, structured finance vehicles and separately managed accounts that invest capital in liquid credit strategies, such as leveraged loans and high yield bonds, and less liquid credit products such as mezzanine debt and special situations investments. These funds, vehicles and accounts are managed by KKR Asset Management LLC (which KKR refers to as "KAM"), an SEC registered investment adviser.

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 its clients 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 includes investments in its private equity funds and co-investments in certain portfolio companies of such funds.

Fee Related Earnings ("FRE") and Economic Net Income ("ENI") 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

FRE is comprised of segment operating revenues, less segment operating expenses. 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; (vi) the exclusion of certain reimbursable expenses and (vii) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items.

ENI is a measure of profitability for KKR's reportable segments and is comprised of: (i) FRE; plus (ii) segment investment income, 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 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 relating to noncontrolling interests; and (iii) the exclusion of income taxes.

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 reconciliation of economic net income (loss) to net income (loss) attributable to KKR as reported in the statements of operations consists of the following:

Borrowings of KKR contain various customary debt covenants. These covenants do not, in management's opinion, materially restrict KKR's investment or financing strategies. KKR is in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of March 31, 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, KKR had unfunded commitments to its private equity and other investment vehicles of $864.8 million. In addition, KKR's capital markets business had an unfunded commitment of $29.7 million related to two Portfolio Companies' revolving credit facilities as of March 31, 2011.

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. As of

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

March 31, 2011, the amount of carried interest KKR principals have received, that is subject to this clawback provision was $754.1 million, assuming that all applicable private equity funds were liquidated at no value. Had the investments in such funds been liquidated at their March 31, 2011 fair values, the clawback obligation would have been $73.5 million, of which $60.3 million is recorded in due from affiliates, $6.8 million is due from noncontrolling interest holders and $6.4 million is the obligation of KKR.

Certain KKR principals who received carried interest distributions 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 June 30, 2009 up to a maximum of $223.6 million. At March 31, 2011, KKR has recorded a receivable of $55.9 million within Due from Affiliates for the amount of the clawback obligation given that would be required to be funded by KKR principals who do not hold direct controlling economic interests in the KKR Group Partnerships.

Carry distributions are allocated to KKR, KKR Holdings and KKR principals (as carry pool participants) in accordance with the terms of the instruments governing the KKR Group Partnerships. KKR will indemnify its principals for any personal guarantees that they have provided with respect to such amounts.

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 March 31, 2011, there would have been no net loss sharing obligation. If the vehicles were liquidated at zero value, the contingent repayment obligation would have been approximately $1,043.2 million as of March 31, 2011.

In the normal course of business, KKR enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and 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.

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 August 2009, the action was consolidated with a similar action brought against the underwriters of the August 1995 subordinated notes offering, which is 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. As suggested by the Alabama State Court, KKR has filed a petition seeking an immediate appeal of certain rulings made by the Alabama State Court when denying the motion to dismiss. In June and July 2010, the Alabama Supreme Court ordered the parties to brief KKR's petition and the petition filed by another defendant seeking an immediate appeal of certain rulings made by the Alabama State Court. Briefing on both petitions has been completed, and both petitions are under consideration.

In 2005, KKR and certain of its current and former personnel were named as defendants in now-consolidated shareholder derivative actions in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware relating to PRIMEDIA Inc. ("PRIMEDIA"), one of its portfolio companies. These actions claim that the board of directors of PRIMEDIA breached its fiduciary duty of loyalty in connection with the redemption of certain shares of preferred stock in 2004 and 2005. The plaintiffs further allege that KKR benefited from these redemptions of preferred stock at the expense of PRIMEDIA and that KKR usurped a corporate opportunity of PRIMEDIA in 2002 by purchasing shares of its preferred stock at a discount on the open market while causing PRIMEDIA to refrain from doing the same. In February 2008, the special litigation committee formed by the board of directors of PRIMEDIA, following a review of plaintiffs' claims, filed a motion to dismiss the actions. In March 2010, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, including additional allegations concerning purchases of PRIMEDIA's preferred stock in 2002. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages on behalf of PRIMEDIA and an award of attorneys' fees and costs. On June 16, 2010, the Vice Chancellor of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware entered an order dismissing all claims asserted against the defendants. On July 15, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Supreme Court of Delaware. Briefing on the appeal has been completed, and oral argument was held before the Supreme Court of Delaware on March 23, 2011.

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,

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

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 ongoing.

KKR, along with two other private equity firms (collectively the "Sponsors"), is a defendant in purported shareholder class actions arising out of the proposed acquisition of Del Monte Foods Company ("Del Monte") by Blue Acquisition Group, Inc. and Blue Merger Sub Inc., entities controlled by private equity funds affiliated with the Sponsors (the "Acquisition Entities"). The complaints generally allege, among other things, that the Del Monte directors breached their fiduciary duties to Del Monte stockholders by agreeing to sell Del Monte at an unfair price and through an unfair process and by filing an allegedly materially misleading and incomplete proxy statement. The complaints also generally allege that the Sponsors, the Acquisition Entities and Del Monte aided and abetted the directors' breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaints all seek injunctive relief, rescission of the merger agreement, damages and attorneys' fees. The various complaints filed in the Delaware Chancery Court were consolidated on December 31, 2010, under the caption In re Del Monte Foods Company Shareholders Litigation, No. 6027-VCL. On February 14, 2011, the Delaware Chancery Court issued a ruling which, among other things, found on the preliminary record before the court that the plaintiff had demonstrated a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits of its aiding and abetting claim against the Sponsors, including KKR. The ruling enjoined defendants from proceeding with the Del Monte stockholder vote, previously scheduled for February 15, 2011, for twenty days and preliminarily enjoined certain deal protection provisions of the merger agreement pending the stockholder vote. On February 18, 2011, an amended complaint was filed in the Delaware action. The amended complaint asserts claims for: (i) breach of fiduciary duty against the Del Monte directors, (ii) aiding and abetting the directors' breaches of fiduciary duty against the Sponsors, the Acquisition Entities, and Barclays Capital, Inc. ("Barclays"), which served as a financial advisor to Del Monte in connection with the proposed acquisition, (iii) breach of contract against the Sponsors arising from a confidentiality agreement between the Sponsors and Del Monte, and (iv) tortuous interference with contract against Barclays arising from the aforementioned confidentiality agreement between the Sponsors and Del Monte. Similar shareholder actions are pending against the Del Monte directors, Sponsors and/or the Acquisition Entities in California Superior Court and the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On March 4, 2011, KKR received a request from the SEC for information

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

regarding issues relating to the Del Monte transaction. KKR is cooperating with the SEC's inquiry. On March 7, 2011, a purported class action complaint captioned Pipe Fitters Local Union No. 120 Pension Fund v. Barclays Capital Inc. et al. (Case No. 3:10-cv-01064-EDL) was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint names as defendants the Sponsors, Barclays, a managing director at Barclays, and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (which provided a portion of the financing in connection with the transaction) and alleges that the defendants violated federal and California state antitrust laws by, among other things, allegedly conspiring to suppress the transaction price. The complaint seeks, among other things, injunctive relief, damages and attorneys' fees. The transaction closed on March 8, 2011.

In August 2008, KFN, the members of KFN's board of directors and certain of its former executive officers, including certain of KKR's current and former personnel, were named in a putative class action complaint filed by the Charter Township of Clinton Police and Fire Retirement System in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Charter Litigation"). In March 2009, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which deleted as defendants the members of KFN's board of directors and named as individual defendants only KFN's former chief executive officer, KFN's former chief operating officer, and KFN's former chief financial officer (the "KFN Individual Defendants," and, together with KFN, "KFN Defendants). The amended complaint alleges that KFN's April 2007 registration statement and prospectus and the financial statements incorporated therein contained material omissions in violation of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), regarding the risks and potential losses associated with KFN's real estate-related assets, KFN's ability to finance its real estate-related assets, and the adequacy of KFN's loss reserves for its real estate-related assets (the "alleged Section 11 violation"). The amended complaint further alleges that, pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Act, the KFN Individual Defendants have legal responsibility for the alleged Section 11 violation. The amended complaint seeks judgment in favor of the lead plaintiff and the putative class for unspecified damages allegedly sustained as a result of the KFN Defendants' alleged misconduct, costs and expenses incurred by the lead plaintiff in the action, rescission or a rescissory measure of damages, and equitable or injunctive relief. In April 2009, the KFN Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim under the Securities Act. In November 2010, the court granted the defendants' motion and dismissed the case with prejudice. Plaintiffs' time to take an appeal has run, and the judgment is now final.

In August 2008, the members of KFN's board of directors and its executive officers (the "Kostecka Individual Defendants") were named in a shareholder derivative action brought by Raymond W. Kostecka, a purported shareholder, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco (the "California Derivative Action"). KFN was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint in the California Derivative Action asserts claims against the Kostecka Individual Defendants for breaches of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment in connection with the conduct at issue in the Charter Litigation, including the filing of the April 2007 Registration Statement with alleged material misstatements and omissions. The complaint seeks judgment in favor of KFN for unspecified damages allegedly sustained as a result of the Kostecka Individual Defendants' alleged misconduct, costs and disbursements incurred by plaintiff in the action, equitable and/or injunctive relief, restitution, and an order directing KFN to reform its corporate governance and internal procedures to prevent a recurrence of the alleged misconduct. By

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

order dated January 8, 2009, the court approved the parties' stipulation to stay the proceedings in the California Derivative Action until the Charter Litigation is dismissed on the pleadings or KFN files an answer to the Charter Litigation. In November 2010, the court dismissed the Charter Litigation with prejudice and that judgment is final. The plaintiff in the California Derivative Action subsequently agreed to withdraw his complaint, and a stipulated order dismissing the California Derivative Action was entered on February 14, 2011.

In March 2009, the members of KFN's board of directors and certain of its executive officers (the "Haley Individual Defendants") were named in a shareholder derivative action brought by Paul B. Haley, a purported shareholder, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "New York Derivative Action"). KFN was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint in the New York Derivative Action asserts claims against the Haley Individual Defendants for breaches of fiduciary duty, breaches of the duty of full disclosure, and for contribution in connection with the conduct at issue in the Charter Litigation, including the filing of the April 2007 registration statement with alleged material misstatements and omissions. The complaint seeks judgment in favor of KFN for unspecified damages allegedly sustained as a result of the Haley Individual Defendants' alleged misconduct, a declaration that the Haley Individual Defendants are liable to KFN under Section 11 of the Securities Act, costs and disbursements incurred by plaintiff in the action, and an order directing KFN to reform its corporate governance and internal procedures to prevent a recurrence of the alleged misconduct. By order dated June 18, 2009, the Court approved the parties' stipulation to stay the proceedings in the New York Derivative Action until the Charter Litigation is dismissed on the pleadings or KFN files an answer to the Charter Litigation. In November 2010, the court dismissed the Charter Litigation with prejudice and that judgment is final. The plaintiff in the New York Derivative Action subsequently agreed to withdraw his complaint, and a stipulated order dismissing the New York Derivative Action was entered on February 4, 2011.

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 December 2009, KKR's subsidiary KKR Asset Management LLC (formerly known as Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (Fixed Income) LLC) received a request from the SEC for information in connection with its examination of certain investment advisers in order to review trading procedures and valuation practices in the collateral pools of structured credit products. The SEC also requested information regarding the surrender by KFN for cancellation, without consideration, of certain notes that had been issued to KFN by collateral pools of structured credit products. KKR cooperated with the SEC's examination, which is now completed.

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. KKR is cooperating with the SEC's investigation.

Moreover, in the ordinary course of business KKR is subject to regulatory examinations or investigations and also is and can be both the defendant and the plaintiff in numerous actions with

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

(All Dollars are in Thousands, Except Unit, Per Unit Data, and Except Where Noted)

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.

No loss contingency has been recorded in any period presented in the financial statements, because such losses are either not probable or reasonably estimable (or both) at the present time. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and their ultimate outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, management is unable to estimate a range of potential loss, if any, related to these matters. At this time, management has not concluded whether the final resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect upon the financial statements.

The fund agreements for a private equity vehicle referred to as KKR's principal protected product for private equity investments contain provisions that require the fund underlying the principal protected product for private equity investments (the "Master Fund") to liquidate certain of its portfolio investments in order to satisfy liquidity requirements of the fund agreements, if the performance of the Master Fund is lower than certain benchmarks defined in the agreements. In an instance where the Master Fund is not in compliance with the defined liquidity requirements and does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its defined requirements, KKR has an obligation to purchase up to $4.1 million of illiquid portfolio investments of the Master Fund at 95% of their current fair market value, reduced from $18.4 million effective January 1, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, the Master Fund does not have a liquidity shortfall and therefore KKR has no obligation.

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 regulatory capital requirements.

The regulatory capital requirements referred to above may restrict KKR's ability to withdraw capital from its entities. At March 31, 2011, approximately $75.0 million may be restricted as to the payment of cash dividends and advances to KKR.

A distribution of $0.21 per KKR & Co. L.P. common unit was declared on May 4, 2011 and will be paid on May 27, 2011 to KKR & Co. L.P. unitholders of record as of the close of business on May 16, 2011. KKR Holdings will receive its pro rata share of the distribution from the KKR Group Partnerships.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & 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, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2011, 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.

Led by Henry Kravis and George Roberts, we are a leading global investment firm with $61.0 billion in AUM as of March 31, 2011 and a 35-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 our clients. Throughout our history, we have consistently been a leader in the private equity industry, having completed more than 190 private equity investments with a total transaction value in excess of $440 billion. In recent years, we have grown our firm by expanding our geographical presence and building businesses in new areas, such as fixed income, capital markets, infrastructure and natural resources. 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 through 14 offices on four continents, providing us with a pre-eminent global platform for sourcing transactions, raising capital and carrying out capital markets activities. We have grown our AUM significantly, from $15.1 billion as of December 31, 2004 to $61.0 billion as of March 31, 2011, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 25.0%. 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.

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. These investment funds and co-investment vehicles are managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., an SEC registered investment adviser. We also manage investments in infrastructure and natural resources.

Through our Public Markets segment, we manage a specialty finance company, a number of investment funds, structured finance vehicles and separately managed accounts that invest capital in liquid credit strategies, such as leveraged loans and high yield bonds, and less liquid credit products such as mezzanine debt and special situations investments. These funds, vehicles and accounts are managed by KKR Asset Management LLC (which we refer to as "KAM"), an SEC registered investment adviser.

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 our clients 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 includes investments in our private equity funds and co-investments in certain portfolio companies of such funds.

As a global investment firm, we are affected by financial and economic conditions in North America, Europe, Asia and elsewhere in the world. Global equity markets have a substantial effect on our financial condition and results of operations, as equity prices significantly impact the valuation of our portfolio companies and, therefore, the investment income that we recognize. For our private equity investments that are publicly listed and thus have readily observable market prices, global equity markets have a direct impact on valuation. For other private equity 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. 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. During the first quarter of 2011, we completed IPOs of three portfolio companies: Nielsen Holdings N.V. (NYSE: NLSN), HCA Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HCA) and Far East Horizon Ltd. (HKG: 3360).

Global equity markets carried positive momentum from the second half of 2010 into 2011. Despite the geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East, the tragedy in Japan and certain weak economic indicators

such as unemployment and housing prices, the equity markets proved to be resilient, as an improved though mixed economic backdrop, robust corporate earnings, and improving investor sentiment drove equity prices higher in the first quarter of 2011. The S&P 500 gained 5.9% in the first quarter, while the MSCI World Index was up 4.9%. The below investment grade credit markets also performed well, with the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan index and the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index increasing 2.4% and 3.9% for the first quarter, 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) can be significant to our ability to realize investment gains from these portfolio companies when economic conditions improve.

Our Public Markets segment manages a number of funds and other accounts that invest capital in a variety of credit products, including leveraged loans, high yield bonds and mezzanine debt. As a result, conditions in global credit 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 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 considerable volatility and, recently, certain commodity prices have risen considerably. 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 investments.

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 ("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 March 31, 2011, our private

markets segment included eight consolidated investment funds and ten unconsolidated co-investment vehicles. Our public markets segment included six consolidated investment vehicles and five unconsolidated vehicles comprised of three investment funds, one separately managed account and one specialty finance company.

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 statements of financial condition and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities on the statements of operations. For a further discussion of our consolidation policies, see "—Critical Accounting Policies—Consolidation."

Fees consist primarily of (i) monitoring, consulting and transaction 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 vehicles, and separately managed accounts, and (iii) fees from capital markets activities. These fees are based on the contractual terms of the governing agreements. A substantial portion of monitoring and transaction fees earned in connection with managing portfolio companies are shared with fund investors.

Fees reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include the management 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."

Compensation and Benefits expense includes cash compensation consisting of salaries, bonuses, and benefits. In addition, Compensation and Benefits expense also consists of: (i) equity-based payment charges associated with the vesting of KKR Holdings units; (ii) equity-based payment charges associated with the vesting of restricted equity units; and (iii) 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 payments is presented in Note 10 "Equity-based Payments."

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. General, administrative and other expense is not borne by fund investors and is not offset by credits attributable to fund investors' noncontrolling interests in consolidated funds.

Fund expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with pursuing potential investments that do not result in completed transactions (such as travel expenses, professional fees and research costs) and other costs associated with administering our private equity funds. A substantial portion of our fund expenses are borne by fund investors.

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 equity 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 of Investments."

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 refinancings undertaken by portfolio companies.

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

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 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".

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. However, 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 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 represents the ownership interests that third parties hold in entities that are consolidated in the financial statements. The allocable share of income and expense attributable to those 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 we expect this activity to continue.

AUM represents the assets from which KKR is entitled to receive fees or carried interest and general partner capital. 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; and (iv) the value of outstanding structured finance vehicles. You should note that KKR's calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other investment managers and, as a result, its measurements of AUM may not be comparable to similar measures

presented by other investment managers. KKR's definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM that is set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds, vehicles or accounts that it manages or calculated pursuant to any regulatory requirements.

FPAUM represents only those assets under management from which KKR receives fees. 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. You should note that KKR's calculation of FPAUM may differ from the calculations of other investment managers and, as a result, its measurements of FPAUM may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers.

We present the results of our reportable business segments in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Section 280, Segment Reporting. This guidance is based on a management approach, which requires segment presentation based on internal organization and the internal financial reporting used by management to make operating decisions, assess performance and allocate resources. All inter segment transactions are eliminated in the segment presentation.

Our management makes operating decisions, assesses performance and allocates resources based on financial and operating data and measures that are presented without giving effect to the consolidation of any of the funds that we manage. In addition, there are other components of our reportable segment results that differ from the equivalent GAAP results on a consolidated basis. These differences are described below.

Fee related earnings ("FRE") is comprised of segment operating revenues, less segment operating expenses. The components of FRE on a segment basis differ from the equivalent GAAP amounts on a combined 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; (vi) the exclusion of certain reimbursable expenses and (vii) the exclusion of certain non-recurring items.

Investment income is composed of net carried interest and other investment income (loss). Carried interests entitle the general partner of our private equity funds to a greater allocable share of the fund's earnings from investments relative to the capital contributed by the general partner and correspondingly reduces third party investors' share of those earnings. Carried interests are earned on realized and unrealized gains (losses) on fund investments as well as dividends received by our funds. Amounts earned pursuant to carried interests are included in investment income to the extent that cumulative investment returns in a given fund are positive. If these investment returns decrease or turn negative in subsequent periods, recognized carried interests will be reduced and reflected as investment losses. Gross carried interest is reduced for carry pool allocations and refunds of management fees payable upon the recognition of carried interest.

Allocations to our carry pool represent approximately 40% of carried interest earned in funds and vehicles eligible to receive carry distributions to be allocated to our principals plus any allocation of carried interest to our other personnel as part of our profit sharing plan. No carry pool allocations are recorded in funds and vehicles that are in either a clawback position or a net loss sharing position and therefore carry pool allocations may not always equal 40% of gross carried interest.

Certain of our investment funds require that we 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, carried interest is reduced, not to exceed 20% of cash management fees earned.

Other investment income (loss) is comprised of realized and unrealized gains (losses) and dividends on capital invested by the general partners of our funds and by us, as well as interest income and interest expense.

Economic net income ("ENI") is a measure of profitability for KKR's reportable segments and is comprised of: (i) FRE; plus (ii) segment investment income, 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 on a U.S. GAAP basis as a result of: (i) the exclusion of the items referred to in FRE above; (ii) the exclusion of investment income relating to noncontrolling interests; and (iii) the exclusion of income taxes.

Committed dollars invested is the aggregate amount of capital commitments that have been invested by our investment funds and carry-yielding co-investment vehicles during a given period. Such amounts include: (i) capital invested by fund investors and co-investors with respect to which we are entitled to a carried interest and (ii) capital invested by us.

Uncalled commitments represents 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.

The following is a discussion of our unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. 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 March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Three Months ended March 31, 2011 compared to Three Months ended March 31, 2010

Fees were $231.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $125.8 million from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The net increase was primarily due to a net increase in gross monitoring fees of $88.1 million and an increase in gross transaction fees of $31.7 million. The increase in gross monitoring fees was primarily the result of $68.8 million of fees received from the termination of monitoring fee arrangements in connection with the initial public offerings ("IPOs") of two portfolio companies, HCA, Inc. and The Nielsen Company B.V. These types of termination payments may occur in the future; however, they are infrequent in nature and are generally correlated with IPO activity in our private equity portfolio. The increase in gross transaction fees primarily reflects an increase in transaction fee-generating investment activity.

Expenses were $423.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $39.6 million, or 8.5%, from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the net effect of (i) a net decrease in equity-based payments of $70.6 million, (ii) an increase in cash-based compensation and benefits of $19.0 million, and (iii) an increase in other operating expenses of $12.1 million. The net decrease in equity-based payments is due primarily to fewer KKR Holdings units vesting for expense recognition purposes under the graded attribution method of expense recognition, which was partially offset by a higher carry pool allocation as a result of certain of our investment vehicles becoming carry earning subsequent to March 31, 2010. The increase in cash-based compensation and benefits and other operating expenses reflects the hiring of additional personnel and increased overall operating costs in connection with the expansion of our businesses.

Net gains from investment activities were $2.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $0.2 billion, or 8.8%, from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The following is a summary of net gains (losses) from investment activities:

The majority of our net gains (losses) from investment activities relate to our private equity portfolio. The following is a summary of the components of net gains (losses) from investment activities for Private Equity Investments which illustrates the variances from the prior period. See "—Segment Analysis—Private Markets Segment" for further information regarding gains and losses in our private equity portfolio.

Dividend income was $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $438.1 million compared to dividend income of $442.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we received $2.8 million of dividends from Avago Technologies Limited and an aggregate of $2.0 million of dividends from other investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we received $440.8 million of dividends from HCA Inc. and Visant Inc. and an aggregate of $2.1 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 was $65.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $17.1 million, or 35.3%, from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase primarily reflects an increase in the level of fixed income instruments in our investment vehicles.

Interest expense was $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $3.4 million, or 24.8%, from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to higher average borrowing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011, driven by the issuance of the Senior Notes in September 2010, partially offset by lower average outstanding borrowings.

Due to the factors described above, income before taxes was $2.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $0.1 billion, or 2.4%, from the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Entities

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities was $1.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $0.2 billion, or 12.0%, from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily driven by the overall decrease in the components of net gains (losses) from investment activities described above.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in KKR Holdings was $408.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $116.7 million, or 39.9%, from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase is primarily due to the increased fees and decreased equity-based payments described above.

The following is a discussion of the results of our three reportable business segments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the information included under "—Basis of Financial Presentation—Segment Results" and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this filing.

The following tables set forth information regarding the results of operations and certain key operating metrics for our Private Markets segment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to three months ended March 31, 2010

Fees were $183.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $47.3 million, or 34.9%, from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The net increase was primarily due to (i) a net increase in gross monitoring fees of $67.9 million; (ii) an increase in gross transaction fees of $28.1 million and (iii) an increase in management fees of $12.1 million. The increase in gross monitoring fees was the result of $68.8 million of fees received from the termination of monitoring fee arrangements in connection with the IPOs of two portfolio companies, HCA, Inc. and The Nielsen Company B.V., which impacted fees by $37.8 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 initial public offering activity in our private equity portfolio. The increase in gross transaction fees of $28.1 million primarily reflects an increase in both the number and size of fee-generating investments. In addition, management fee income increased $12.1 million primarily from an increase in fee paying capital at our private equity funds. These increases were partially offset by an increase in credits earned by limited partners under fee sharing arrangements in our private equity funds due primarily to the increased gross transaction and monitoring fees.

Expenses were $92.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $12.9 million, or 16.3%, from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily the result of (i) an increase of $5.1 million in Compensation and Benefits expense and (ii) an increase in occupancy and related charges of $1.7 million, each of which is a reflection of the hiring of additional personnel and the continued expansion of our business; and (iii) an increase in other operating expenses of $6.1 million primarily from an increase in professional fees related to the continued expansion of our business and from expenses related to the formation of and capital raising for new private equity funds.

Fee related earnings in our Private Markets segment were $90.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $34.4 million, or 61.2%, from the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was due to the increase in fees described above partially offset by the increase in expenses described above.

Investment income was $187.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $49.7 million compared to investment income of $137.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, investment income (loss) was comprised of (i) net carried interest of $186.0 million and (ii) other investment income of $1.1 million which was driven by favorable changes in foreign exchange rates.

The following table presents the components of net carried interest for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Net realized gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 consists primarily of the partial sales of Legrand Holdings S.A. (ENXTPA: LR), HCA, Inc., and Avago Technologies Limited (NYSE: AVGO). Net realized gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 consists of the partial sales of Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK) and Avago Technologies Limited.

The following table presents net unrealized gains (losses) of carried interest by fund for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, approximately 56% of net unrealized gains were attributable to increased share prices of various publicly held investments, the most significant of which were HCA, Inc., The Nielsen Company B.V., Far Eastern Horizon Limited (Hong Kong: 3360), Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: JAZZ) and NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ: NXPI). In addition, there was a significant unrealized loss due to the reversal of a previously recognized gain in connection with the partial sale of Legrand Holdings S.A. Our private portfolio contributed the remainder of the change in value, with the largest contributor being unrealized gains relating to Seven Media Group (media sector) and Oriental Brewery (consumer products sector). The increased valuations, in the aggregate, generally related to both improvements in market comparables and individual company performance, and in the case of Seven Media Group an increase that reflects the valuation of an executed agreement to sell a portion of the investment in the second quarter of 2011. These unrealized

gains were partially offset by unrealized losses, none of which individually represented a significant offset to such gains for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, approximately 30% of unrealized gains were attributable to increased share prices of various publicly held investments, the most significant of which was Legrand Holdings S.A. (ENXTPA: LR). Our private portfolio contributed the remainder of the unrealized gains, with the largest contributors being Alliance Boots GmbH (healthcare sector), East Resources, Inc. (energy sector), The Nielsen Company B.V. (media sector) and MMI Holdings Limited (technology sector). The increased valuations, in the aggregate, generally related to both improvements in market comparables and individual company performance.

Dividend and interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 consists primarily of dividends earned from Avago Technologies Limited. Dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 consists primarily of dividends earned from HCA Inc. and Visant Inc.

The amount of carried interest earned during the first quarter of 2011 for those funds and vehicles eligible to receive carried interest amounted to $329.0 million, of which the carry pool was allocated approximately 40% with the remaining 60% allocated to us and KKR Holdings based on their respective ownership percentages. Management fee refunds amounted to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $78.9 million from the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily reflecting the 2006 Fund becoming carry-earning in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Economic net income in our Private Markets segment was $276.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $83.0 million compared to economic net income of $193.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in investment income and fee related earnings described above were the contributors to the period over period increase in economic net income.

The following table reflects the changes in our Private Markets AUM from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011:

AUM in our Private Markets Segment was $46.2 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, as appreciation in our private equity funds was offset by distributions to limited partners in our funds. AUM benefited from increases in net unrealized gains of $2.3 billion from changes in the market values of our private equity portfolio companies, $0.1 billion of foreign exchange adjustments on foreign denominated commitments to our funds and $0.1 billion of newly raised capital. The net unrealized investment gains in our private equity funds were driven primarily by net unrealized gains of $0.7 billion, $0.7 billion, $0.3 billion, $0.2 billion, and $0.1 billion in our 2006 Fund, Millennium Fund, Asian Fund, European Fund II and European Fund III, respectively. Approximately 71% of the net change in value for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was attributable to changes in share prices

of various publicly- listed investments, most notably increases in HCA, Inc., NXP Semiconductors NV, The Nielsen Company B.V., and Rockwood Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ROC). Both HCA, Inc. and the Nielsen Company B.V. conducted an IPO during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our private portfolio contributed the remainder of the change in value, with the largest contributor being unrealized gains relating to Seven Media Group (media sector) and Oriental Brewery (consumer products sector). These unrealized gains were partially offset by unrealized losses, none of which individually represented a significant offset to such gains. The increased valuations, in the aggregate, generally related to both improvements in market comparables and individual company performance, and in the case of Seven Media Group an increase that reflects the valuation of an executed agreement to sell a portion of the investment in the second quarter of 2011. The increases above were offset by distributions from our funds totaling $2.5 billion, which was comprised of $1.6 billion of realized gains and $0.9 billion of return of original cost.

The following table reflects the changes in our Private Markets FPAUM from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011:

FPAUM in our Private Markets segment was $37.9 billion at March 31, 2011, a decrease of $0.3 billion, or 0.8%, compared to $38.2 billion at December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to distributions of $0.8 billion partially offset by an increase of $0.4 billion of foreign exchange adjustments on foreign denominated commitments and invested capital and $0.1 billion of new fee paying capital raised during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Committed dollars invested were $0.8 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease $0.2 billion from the three months ended March 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, our Private Markets Segment had $12.1 billion of remaining uncalled capital commitments that could be called for investments in new transactions, including $4.1 billion of uncalled capital commitments of our 2006 Fund. As of May 5, 2011, the 2006 Fund has committed capital to approximately $1.6 billion of pending transactions and contingent commitments, although there can be no assurance that any of these capital commitments will be drawn as contemplated for a variety of reasons, including the risk that pending transactions do not close or that contingent commitments are not deployed.

The following tables set forth information regarding the results of operations and certain key operating metrics for our Public Markets segment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to three months ended March 31, 2010

Fees were $30.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $3.8 million, or 14.2%, compared to fees of $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in management fees of $4.4 million that was attributable to an increase in fee paying capital.

Expenses were $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $5.0 million, or 44.4%, compared to expenses of $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in Compensation and Benefits expense of $4.0 million primarily attributable to an increase in personnel to support growth in our Public Markets segment, including the development of our equity strategies platform.

Fee related earnings in our Public Markets segment were $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which represents a decrease of $1.2 million, or 7.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in fee related earnings is primarily due to the increase in expenses described above.

Investment income was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which represents an increase of $0.8 million compared to investment income of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily driven by net carried interest from unrealized appreciation earned from certain special situations vehicles during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Economic net income in our Public Markets segment was $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which represents a decrease of $0.4 million, or 2.6%, compared to economic net income of $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in economic net income is primarily due to the increase in expenses described above.

The following table reflects the changes in our Public Markets AUM from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011:

AUM in our Public Markets segment totaled $14.8 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The significant movements during the period consisted of $0.2 billion of new capital raised, as well as a $0.3 billion increase in the net asset value of KFN and certain other fixed income investment vehicles. These increases were largely offset by $0.4 billion of redemptions in our liquid credit separately managed accounts.

The following table reflects the changes in our Public Markets FPAUM from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011:

FPAUM in our Public Markets segment totaled $7.8 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The significant movements during the period consisted of $0.2 billion of new capital raised, as well as a $0.3 billion increase in the net asset value of KFN and certain other fixed income investment vehicles. These increases were largely offset by $0.4 billion of redemptions in our liquid credit separately managed accounts.

Committed dollars invested were $0.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $0.1 billion of committed dollars invested for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, our Public Markets segment had $1.2 billion of uncalled capital commitments that could be called for investments in new transactions.

The following table sets forth information regarding the results of operations and certain key operating metrics for our Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to three months ended March 31, 2010

Fees in our Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment were $30.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $5.8 million, or 23.6%, compared to fees of $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was due to an increase in the transaction size of certain equity based transactions during the period. Overall, we completed 14 capital markets transactions in each of the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, comprised of 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 the offerings of equity securities than with respect to the issuance of debt securities, 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 in our Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment were $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $3.2 million, or 52.5%, compared to expenses of $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in Compensation and Benefits expense and a $1.4 million increase in other operating expenses relating primarily to increased headcount and the overall expansion of our business.

Due primarily to the increase in fees described above, fee related earnings in our Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment were $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $2.6 million, or 14.1%, compared to fee related earnings of $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The following table presents the components of other investment income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Investment income was $429.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $17.3 million, or 3.9%, compared to investment income of $446.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net realized gains were comprised of $151.1 million of gains from the sale of certain private equity investments, the most significant of which was HCA, Inc. (NYSE: HCA), and $37.2 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 $266.4 million of net unrealized appreciation of private equity investments, the most significant of which were HCA, Inc., NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ: NXPI) and The Nielsen Company B.V. (NYSE: NLSN), and $48.2 million of net appreciation of non-private equity investments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net realized gains were comprised of $7.4 million of gains from the sale of certain private equity investments, the most significant of which was Avago Technologies Limited (NASDAQ: AVGO), and $0.8 million of gains from the sale of non-private equity investments. The net unrealized gains were comprised of $292.4 million of net unrealized appreciation of private equity investments, the most significant of which were Dollar General Corporation

(NYSE: DG) and Alliance Boots GmbH (healthcare sector), and $54.9 million of net appreciation of non-private equity investments.

Economic net income in our Capital Markets and Principal Activities segment was $449.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $14.9 million, or 3.2%, compared to economic net income of $464.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in investment income described above was the main contributor to the decrease in economic net income.

The following table presents our segment statement of financial condition as March 31, 2011:

We have managed our historical 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 involve: (i) generating cash flow from operations; (ii) generating income from investment activities; (iii) funding capital commitments that we have made to our funds; (iv) funding our growth initiatives; (v) distributing cash flow to our owners; and (vi) borrowings, interest payments and repayments under credit agreements, the Senior Notes and other borrowing arrangements. As of March 31, 2011, we had an available cash balance of approximately $1.1 billion.

Our principal sources of cash and cash equivalents 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 from principal investments; and (iv) borrowings under our credit facilities and other borrowing arrangements 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 since its inception; 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.

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 facilities and other borrowing arrangements.

For the three months ending and as of March 31, 2011, (i) no borrowings were made and (ii) no borrowings were outstanding, under any of the revolving credit agreements described below. We may, however, utilize these facilities prospectively in the normal course of our operations.

We expect that our primary liquidity needs will consist of cash required to: (i) continue to grow our business, including funding our capital commitments made to existing and future funds 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; and (vi) underwriting commitments within our capital markets business. 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 the next 12 months.

The agreements governing our active investment funds generally require the general partners of the funds to make minimum capital commitments to the funds, which usually range from 2% to 4% of a fund's total capital commitments at final closing. In addition, we are responsible for the uncalled commitments of the KPE Investment Partnership as a partner in our private equity funds. The following table presents our uncalled commitments to our active investment funds as of March 31, 2011:

We expect to fund commitments with available cash, proceeds from realizations of principal assets and other sources of liquidity available to us.

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 realizes 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 agreements 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. To date, no cash payments were made under the tax receivable agreement.

We expect our intermediate holding companies to benefit from the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any, in income tax that it realizes. 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.

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 gains on principal investments, 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 the purposes of KKR's distribution policy, our distributions are expected to consist of an amount consisting of (i) FRE, (ii) carry distributions received from KKR's investment funds which have not been allocated as part of our 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.

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.

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 primarily 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 March 31, 2011 on an unconsolidated basis.

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 March 31, 2011 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 in accordance with the terms of the instruments governing the KKR Group Partnerships. As of March 31, 2011, 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 $754.1 million, of which $530.5 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 March 31, 2011 fair values, the clawback obligation would have been $73.5 million, of which $60.3 million is recorded in due from affiliates, $6.8 million is due from noncontrolling interest holders and $6.4 million is the obligation of KKR.

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 March 31, 2011, 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 $1,043.2 million as of March 31, 2011.

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 March 31, 2011. 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.

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.

The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows include the cash flows of our consolidated entities which, in particular, includes our consolidated funds despite the fact that we have only a minority economic interest in those funds. The assets of 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 condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The primary cash flow activities of our consolidated funds involve: (i) raising capital 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, these cash flow amounts are included in our cash flows from operations.

Our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $1.6 billion and $0.2 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts primarily included: (i) proceeds from sales of investments net of purchases of investments by our funds of $1.0 billion and $4.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively; (ii) net realized gains (losses) on investments of $1.5 billion and $0.2 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively; and (iii) change in unrealized gains on investments of $1.0 billion and $2.1 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts are reflected as operating activities in accordance with investment company accounting.

Our net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(30.1) million and $27.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our investing activities included the purchases of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements of $0.3 million and $3.1 million, as well as a (decrease) increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents that primarily funds collateral requirements of $(29.8) million and $30.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Our net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(1.2) billion $(0.2) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our financing activities primarily included: (i) distributions net of contributions, made to noncontrolling interests, of $1.2 billion and $(0.6) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively; (ii) repayment of debt obligations net of proceeds received of $(728.1) million during the three months ended March 31, 2010, respectively; and (iii) distributions to, net of contributions by, our equity holders of $62.0 million and $21.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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 unaudited 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.

Our policy is to consolidate (i) those entities in which we hold a majority voting interest or has majority ownership and control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity, including those private equity, fixed income, and capital solution oriented 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.

The majority of the entities consolidated by us are comprised of: (i) those entities in which we have majority ownership and have control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions and (ii) the consolidated KKR funds, which are those entities in which we hold substantive, controlling general partner or managing member interests. 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.

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. Rather, KKR reflects their investments in Portfolio Companies at fair value 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.

We measure and report our investments in accordance with fair value accounting guidance, which establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and we consider factors specific to the investment.

When determining fair values of investments, we use the last reported market price as of the statement of financial condition date for investments that have readily observable market prices. If no sales occurred on such day, we use the "bid" price at the close of business on that date and, if sold short, the "asked" price at the close of business on that date day. Forward contracts are valued based on market rates or prices obtained from recognized financial data service providers.

The majority of our private equity investments 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 multiples approach that considers a specified financial measure (such as EBITDA) and recent public and private transactions and other available measures for valuing comparable companies. Other factors such as the applicability of a control premium or illiquidity discount, the presence of significant unconsolidated assets and liabilities and any favorable or unfavorable tax attributes are also considered in arriving at a market multiples valuation. The second methodology utilized is typically a discounted cash flow approach. In this approach, we incorporate significant assumptions and judgments in determining the most likely buyer, or market participant for a hypothetical sale, which might include an initial public offering, private equity investor, strategic buyer or a transaction consummated through a combination of any of the above. Estimates of assumed growth rates, terminal values, discount rates, capital structure and other factors are employed in this approach. The ultimate fair value recorded for a particular investment will generally be within the range suggested by the two methodologies, adjusted for issues related to achieving liquidity including size, registration process, corporate governance structure, timing, an initial public offering discount and other factors, if applicable. As discussed above, we utilize several unobservable pricing inputs and assumptions in determining the fair value of our private equity 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.

Approximately 35.0%, or $13.3 billion, and 26.0%, or $9.5 billion, of the value of our investments were valued using quoted market prices, which have not been adjusted, as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Approximately 65.0%, or $24.7 billion, and 74.0%, or $27.0 billion, of the value of our investments were valued in the absence of readily observable market prices as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The majority of these investments were valued using internal models with significant unobservable market parameters and our determinations of the fair values of these investments may differ materially from the values that would have resulted if readily observable market prices had existed. Additional external factors may cause those values, and the values of investments for which readily observable market prices 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.

Our calculations of the fair values of private company investments were reviewed by an independent valuation firm, who provided third party valuation assistance to us, which consisted of certain limited procedures that we identified and requested it to perform. Upon completion of such limited procedures, they concluded that the fair value, as determined by us, of those investments

subjected to their limited procedures was reasonable. The limited procedures did not involve an audit, review, compilation or any other form of examination or attestation under generally accepted auditing standards. The general partners of our funds 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 the general partner of each fund is required to undertake to determine the fair value of the investments.

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 March 31, 2011, we estimate that an immediate 10% decrease in the fair value of the funds' investments generally would result in a 10% immediate change in net gains (losses) from the funds' investment activities (including carried interest when applicable), regardless of whether the investment was valued using observable market prices or management estimates with significant unobservable pricing inputs. However, we estimate the impact that the consequential decrease in investment income would have on net income attributable to KKR would be significantly less than the amount described above, given that a majority of the change in fair value would be attributable to noncontrolling interests.

As of March 31, 2011, private equity investments which represented greater than 5% of the net assets of consolidated private equity funds included: (i) Dollar General valued at $3.5 billion; (ii) HCA Inc. valued at $2.9 billion; and (iii) Alliance Boots valued at $2.5 billion.

The majority of the value of the investments in our consolidated fixed income funds were valued using observable market parameters, which may include quoted market prices, as of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. Quoted market prices, when used, are not adjusted.

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 March 31, 2011, the amount subject to refund for which no liability has been recorded approximates $62.4 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 all or a portion 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.

Investment income consists primarily of the unrealized and realized gains (losses) on investments (including the impacts of foreign currency on non-dollar denominated investments), dividend and interest income received from investments and interest expense incurred in connection with investment

activities. Unrealized gains or losses result from changes in the fair value of our funds' investments during a period as well as the reversal of unrealized gains or losses in connection with realization events. Upon disposition of an investment, previously recognized unrealized gains or losses are reversed and a corresponding realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period. 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 its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Carried interests entitle 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 reduce noncontrolling interests' attributable share of those earnings. Amounts earned pursuant to carried interests in the KKR funds are included as investment income 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. If these investment returns decrease or turn negative in subsequent periods, recognized carried interest will be reduced and reflected as investment losses. Carried interest is recognized based on the contractual formula set forth in the instruments 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, management believes 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.

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.

Prior to October 1, 2009, certain KKR principals who received carried interest distributions 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 are responsible for clawback obligations 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 are allocated generally to carry pool participants and KKR in accordance with the terms of the instruments governing the KKR Group Partnerships.

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 by our 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no recently issued accounting pronouncements that were applicable and adopted by KKR.

There has 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, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 7, 2011.

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 March 31, 2011, 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 March 31, 2011, 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 March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The section entitled "Litigation" appearing in Note 13 "Commitments and Contingencies" of our financial statements included elsewhere in this report is incorporated herein by reference.

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on March 7, 2011. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent current reports filed with the SEC, which are accessible on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov.

A failure or the perceived risk of a failure to raise the statutory debt limit of the United States could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

According to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the United States is expected to reach its current statutory debt limit by May 16, 2011, although it is possible for the Department of the Treasury to take extraordinary actions to delay the date by which such limit is reached for a finite period of time. A failure by Congress to raise the debt limit would increase the risk of default by the United States on its obligations, as well as the risk of other economic dislocations. Such a failure or the perceived risk of such a failure consequently could have a material adverse effect on the financial markets and economic conditions in the United States and throughout the world. It could also limit our ability and the ability of our funds and portfolio companies to obtain financing, and it could have a material adverse effect on the valuation of our portfolio companies and other assets held by our funds. Under such circumstances, the risks we face and any resulting adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations would be significantly exacerbated, including those described under "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Difficult market conditions can adversely affect our business in many ways, including by reducing the value or performance of the investments that we manage or by reducing the ability of our funds to raise or deploy capital, each of which could negatively impact our net income and cash flow and adversely affect our financial condition," "—Changes in the debt financing markets may negatively impact the ability of our private equity funds and their portfolio companies to obtain attractive financing for their investments and may increase the cost of such financing if it is obtained, which could lead to lower-yielding investments and potentially decrease our net income," "—Adverse economic and market conditions may adversely affect our liquidity position, which could adversely affect our business operations in the future" and "—Risks Related to the Assets We Manage—Dependence on significant leverage in investments by our funds could adversely affect our ability to achieve attractive rates of return on those investments" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our investments in real assets such as real estate and natural resources may expose us to increased risks and liabilities and may expose our unitholders to adverse tax consequences.

Investments in real assets, which may include real estate, oil and gas properties and other natural resources, may expose us to increased risks and liabilities that are inherent in the ownership of real assets. For example, ownership of real assets in our funds or vehicles may increase our risk of liability under environmental laws that impose, regardless of fault, joint and several liability for the cost of remediating contamination and compensation for damages. Ownership of real assets may also present additional risk of liability for personal and property injury or impose significant operating challenges and costs, for example with respect to compliance with zoning, environmental or other applicable laws.

In addition, investments in real assets may cause adverse tax consequences for certain non-U.S. unitholders regarding income effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business and the imposition of certain tax withholding. Please see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to U.S. Taxation—Non-U.S. persons face unique U.S. tax issues from owning our common units that may result in adverse tax consequences to them" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Moreover, investments in real assets may also require all our unitholders to file tax returns and pay taxes in various state and local jurisdictions in the U.S. and abroad where our funds and investments own these real assets. Please see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to U.S. Taxation—Holders of our common units may be subject to state and local taxes and return filing requirements as a result of owning such common units" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
