Independent Auditor's Report
The Board of Directors
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses of the Gatsby Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the related notes (the 'Historical Summary').
Management’s Responsibility for the Historical Summary
Management is responsible for the presentation of the Historical Summary in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the Historical Summary that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Summary based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Historical Summary, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the Historical Summary in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses described in note 1 of the Gatsby Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2014, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to note 1 to the Historical Summary, which describes that the accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the filing of Form 8-K of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.) and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Gatsby Portfolio’s revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Gatsby Portfolio
Notes to Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses
Year Ended December 31, 2014
(1) | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses relate to the operations of the Gatsby Portfolio ("the Portfolio"). The Portfolio is a mixed use property portfolio of 180 properties consisting of 118 retail properties, 21 petrol stations, 17 industrial buildings 10 office buildings, with the remaining 14 properties over various commercial industries located in the United Kingdom. The Portfolio that was acquired by Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate plc ("KWE") which is a consolidated subsidiary of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (“KWH”), from Aviva Commercial Real Estate Finance ("Seller").
The accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, accordingly, are not representative of the actual results of operations of the Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2014 due to exclusion of certain expenses, such as depreciation and amortization, amortization of above and below market leases, amortization of other lease intangibles and interest expense, which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Portfolio.
Management is not aware of any material factors relating to the Portfolio other than those already described above that would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.
(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Revenue recognition
Rental revenue from tenants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset.
Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented gross, as individual properties within the Portfolio are generally the primary obligors with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier and bear the associated credit risk.
Use of Estimates
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting and disclosure of the Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses during the reporting period to prepare the statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(3) | Minimum Future Lease Rentals |
There are various lease agreements in place with tenants to lease space at properties within the Portfolio. As of December 31, 2014, the minimum future cash rents receivable under non-cancelable operating leases through 2131 are as follows:

2016 | 53.4 | |||
2017 | 51.0 | |||
2018 | 45.5 | |||
2019 | 41.8 | |||
2020 | 36.9 | |||
Thereafter | 278.9 | |||
$ | 563.0 | |||
Certain leases require reimbursement of the tenant’s proportionate share of common area, real estate taxes and other operating expenses, which are excluded from the amounts above.
(4) | Tenant Concentrations |
For the year ended December 31, 2014, no tenant comprised more than 10% of rental income for the year ended December 31, 2014.
(5) | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Portfolio is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. Management does not believe it is reasonably possible that the ultimate settlement of these actions will have a material adverse effect on the Portfolio's results.
(6) | Subsequent Events |
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued.
