NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

            The above financial statements have been prepared by Kennedy-Wilson,
   Inc. a Delaware corporation, and subsidiaries (the "Company") without audit
   by independent public accountants, pursuant to the Rules and Regulations 
   promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The statements, in 
   the opinion of the Company, present fairly the financial position and results
   of operations for the dates and periods indicated. The results of operations
   for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
   for full fiscal years. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally 
   included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally 
   accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
   Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
   The Company believes that the disclosures contained in the financial 
   statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. 
   These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial 
   statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on 
   Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Certain reclassifications 
   have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period 
   presentation.

NOTE 2 - NOTES RECEIVABLE

            Notes receivable consists primarily of non-performing notes and
   related assets acquired from financial institutions. A majority of these
   notes are typically collateralized by real estate, personal property or
   guarantees. Notes receivable also includes mezzanine loans to real estate
   developers for new single-family residential developments.

            In January 1999, the Company executed a mezzanine loan agreement for
   $750,000 bearing an interest rate of 10% per annum secured by two third trust
   deeds, a pledge of the borrower's cash distribution in a non-related project
   and a personal guarantee by the borrower. The Company is entitled to a
   participation in any profits from the development.


            In February 1999, the Company executed a mezzanine loan agreement 
   for $342,122 bearing an interest rate of 10% per annum with a maturity date 
   no later than July 31, 2000. The loan is secured by a deed of trust, security
   agreement and fixture filing encumbering the project and a repayment 
   guarantee from members of the borrower. Also in February 1999, the Company 
   executed a mezzanine loan agreement for $300,753 bearing an interest rate of
   10% per annum with a maturity date no later than July 31, 2000. The loan is 
   secured by a deed of trust, security agreement and fixture filing encumbering
   the project and a repayment guarantee from members of the borrower. The 
   Company is entitled to a participation in any profits from both projects. 

            In March 1999, the Company executed a mezzanine loan agreement for a
   maximum sum of $5,760,000, bearing an interest rate of 12% per annum. The
   amount outstanding as of March 31, 1999 was $3,465,030. The loan is secured
   by a construction deed of trust, assignment of leases, security agreement and
   fixture filing encumbering the property.

company. We provide property management and leasing services, asset 
management, commercial and residential brokerage, and auction services to 
clients primarily in the U.S. and Japan. Our clients include financial 
institutions, major corporations, real estate developers, insurance companies 
and governmental agencies. We also invest in commercial and residential real

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998

TOTAL REVENUES.

            Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was 
approximately $16.9 million representing a 326% increase over total revenue 
for 1998 of approximately $4.0 million. Revenues increased in every category 
with the largest increase of 1003% occurring in property management and 
leasing fees. We acquired our property management and leasing subsidiary 
Kennedy-Wilson Properties Ltd. in July 1998.

            Property management and leasing fees. Property management and 
            ------------------------------------
leasing fees during the first quarter of 1999 increased 1000% over the same 
period in 1998. The acquisition of Kennedy-Wilson Properties Ltd. in July 1998
increased property related fees by approximately $5.4 million and additional 
fees of $709,000 were earned by our commercial brokerage group relating to the 
leasing and asset management of commercial buildings in Japan and New York 
in which we hold equity interests of 2% and 15%, respectively. This is 
compared to $592,000 of leasing fees earned in the first quarter of 1998.

            Brokerage. Commission income during the first quarter of 1999 
            ---------
increased by 62% over the first quarter of 1998 due to an increased number of 
brokerage closings including two hotels located in Washington, D.C. and San 
Francisco, California and a commercial office building in Santa Monica, 
California.

             Investments. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, revenue 
             -----------
from the sales of residential real estate of approximately $5.0 million 
reflects the sales of 15 homes, which are part of a project located in Palm 
Desert, California. Sales revenue of $183,000 in the same period in 1998 
represents the sale of one condominium unit in a project in Corona Del Mar, 
California.

             Equity in income of investments with related parties and 
non-affiliates increased 70% in the first quarter of 1999 over the same 
period in 1998 primarily due to investment activities in Japan.

             Rental income, net for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was 
$1.69 million equating to a 149% increase compared to $679,000 during the 
first quarter in 1998. This was due to the addition of 2 large commercial 
office buildings purchased in the second half of 1998, as well as, the 
effects of an intensified leasing program.

             Gain on restructured notes receivable for the first quarter of 
1999 was $844,000 compared to $655,000 during the same period in 1998 
resulting in a 29% increase. This was due to the settlement of several large 
non-performing notes.

             Other income increased 15% due to increased asset management and
consulting fees earned in Japan.

TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES.

            Operating expenses increased 316.2% for the quarter ending March 
31, 1999 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998 due primarily to 
the acquisition of Kennedy-Wilson Properties Ltd. and a larger commercial 
properies portfolio.

            Brokerage commissions and marketing expenses during the period 
decreased 50.4% over the same period in 1998 due to a decrease in residential 
auctions which typically result in higher brokerage commissions and marketing 
expenses.

            Cost of residential real estate sold increased 3564.9% resulting 
from the sales of the 15 homes discussed above.

            Compensation and general and administrative expense increased 
174.8% due primarily to the acquisition of Kennedy-Wilson Properties Ltd.

            Depreciation and amortization expense increased 273% due to the 
amortization of the goodwill and other assets relating to the purchase of 
Kennedy-Wilson Properties Ltd.

            Interest expense on the debt we incurred to finance the 
acquisition of Kennedy-Wilson Properties Ltd. and our commercial property 
portfolio resulted in a 219% increase in interest expense over the same 
period in 1998.

            Provision for taxes for the three months ending March 31 
increased 515.3% to $603,000 in 1999 from $98,000 in 1998. The tax expense 
during past years has been significantly less than the statutory rate due to 
substantial net operating losses carried forward which have been utilized in 
reducing our federal tax liabilities. We anticipate paying the statutory rate 
in 1999.

            Earnings before taxes for 1999 in the first quarter were 
approximately $1.8 million, which represents a 130% increase over the same 
period in 1998. Net income for the first quarter 1999 was $1.17 million, 
which represents a 74% increase over 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            Our liquidity and capital resources requirements include 
expenditures for real estate held for sale, distressed notes pools, the 
acquisition of property management portfolios, and working capital needs. 
Historically, we have not required significant capital resources to support 
our brokerage operations. We finance our operations with internally generated 
funds and borrowings under our revolving lines of credit as described below. 
Our investments in real estate are typically financed by mortgage loans 
secured primarily by that real estate. These mortgage loans are generally 
nonrecourse in that, in the event of a default, recourse will be limited to 
the mortgaged property serving as collateral, subject to certain exceptions 
that are standard in the real estate industry. Exceptions where the lender 
may proceed against the borrower or guarantor, if any, generally include the 
voluntary transfer of the mortgaged property by the borrower, the voluntary 
initiation of bankruptcy proceedings by the borrower, fraud or 
misrepresentation in obtaining the loan, and other similar acts.

            Cash used in operating activities during the three months ended 
March 31 was about $1.6 million in 1999, compared to $2.7 million in cash 
used in operating activities in 1998. The change included an increase in 
accounts receivable attributable primarily to property management fees which 
are received one month in arrears, as well as leasing commissions earned but 
not received until the related tenant moves in, offset by the decrease in 
accrued expenses as payments were made for 1998 bonuses and deferred 
compensation.

            Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended 
March 31 was about $9.2 million in 1999, compared to $56.4 million in cash 
used by investing activities during the same period in 1998. The change 
resulted primarily from no acquisition of commercial properties in 1999 
compared with three in the first quarter of 1998.

            Cash provided by financing activities was about $8.6 million in 
1999, compared to cash used in financing activities in 1998 of about $51.8 
million. The change resulted from issuance of about $46 million of mortgage 
loans payable in 1998 and none in 1999.

            To the extent that we engage in additional strategic investments, 
including real estate, note portfolio, or acquisitions of other property 
management companies, we may need to obtain third party financing which could 
include bank financing or the public sale or private placement of debt or 
equity securities. We believe that existing cash, plus capital generated from 
property management and leasing, brokerage, sales of real estate owned, 
collections from notes receivable, as well as our total current unsecured 
$22.5 million lines of credit with East-West Bank maturing June 6, 2000, 
which had an outstanding balance as of May 11, 1999 of $12.7 million and an 
interest rate due monthly equal to three month LIBOR plus 2%, will provide us 
with sufficient capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

            We intend to retain earnings to finance our growth and, 
therefore, do not anticipate paying any dividends. We believe that funds 
generated from operations together with existing cash and available credit 
under our credit facilities will be sufficient to finance our current 
operations, planned investments, acquisitions of the property management 
companies, and internal growth. Our need, if any, to raise additional funds 
to meet our working capital and capital requirements will depend on numerous 
factors, including the success and pace of the implementation of our strategy 
for growth. We regularly monitor capital raising alternatives to be able to 
take advantage of other available avenues to support our working capital and 
investment needs, including strategic partnerships and other alliances, bank 
borrowings, and the sale of equity or debt securities.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

            Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and 
Results of Operations contains certain forward-looking statements that are 
subject to risk and uncertainty. Investors and potential investors in the 
Company's securities are cautioned that a number of factors could adversely 
affect the Company's ability to obtain these results. Such factors are 
discussed in our Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-74391) under 
"Risk Factors" and elsewhere, and in other reports filed with the Securities 
and Exchange Commission. These factors include, but are not limited to (a) 
the inability to lease currently vacant space in properties; (b) the 
inability of tenants to pay contractual rent and other expenses; (c) 
bankruptcies of tenants; (d) increases in certain operating costs at 
properties; (e) decreases in rental rate available from tenants leasing space 
in properties; (f) unavailability of financing for acquisitions, development 
and redevelopment of properties; (g) increases in interest rates; and (h) a 
general economic downturn resulting in lower rents, rent delinquencies, and 
other downward pressure on commissions, occupancies and rents at properties.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

HOW DOES THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE IMPACT US?

            We are not currently aware of any internal Year 2000 problems 
that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse impact on our 
business, results of operations and financial condition. The vendors from 
which we will acquire hardware and software for our new information 
technology system have indicated the products we plan to use are currently 
Year 2000 compliant. The majority of the mechanical systems at the properties 
we own and manage have manual overrides. We plan to have a management team at 
each building immediately prior to January 1, 2000 who will be able to 
respond to any contingencies. In addition, our team at Kennedy-Wilson, Tech., 
who is supervising Year 2000 compliance efforts at buildings we manage whose 
owners have chosen to participate in our program and at buildings we own, 
will be assembled in their office ready to respond to any inquiries from the 
management teams.

            However, there can be no assurance that we will not discover Year 
2000 problems in information technology systems or mechanical systems that 
will require substantial revisions or replacement. We cannot give assurances 
that third-party software, hardware or services incorporated into our 
material systems or systems upon which we are reliant will not need to be 
revised or replaced, which could be time consuming and expensive.

            In addition, we cannot give assurances that governmental 
agencies, utilities third-party service providers and others outside of our 
control will be Year 2000 compliant. The failure of such entities to become 
compliant could result in a systemic failure beyond our control, such as loss 
of telecommunications or electrical failure, which could adversely impact our 
information technology systems or would allow tenants at the buildings we own 
or manage to terminate leases if such failures persist.


SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         In April 1999, the Company acquired all of the assets of Coastal 
Commercial Real Estate Services, Inc., which does business as R&B Commercial 
Real Estate Services, a Los Angeles based company that manages and leases a 
portfolio of approximately 5 million gross square feet of real estate 
primarily located in Arizona, Texas and throughout California for 
approximately $1 million plus up to an additional $1.2 million to be paid in 
three annual installments provided that a specified pretax net operating 
income is achieved in each of the three years.

         In April 1999, the Company's line of credit with East West Bank was 
increased from $21 million to approximately $22.5 million with a maturity 
date of June 6, 2000, and interest due monthly at a rate equal to three month 
LIBOR plus 2%.

         In April 1999, the Company issued and sold convertible subordinated 
debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $7.5 million. The debentures 
have a term of seven years and an interest rate of 6%, payable monthly. The 
debentures are convertible into the Company's Common Stock at any time by the 
holders thereof at a conversion price of $10 per share (subject to 
adjustment). At the current conversion price, the debentures are convertible 
into 750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company is obligated 
to register the shares of the Company's Common Stock which may be purchased 
upon conversion with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 
Securities Act of 1933 by August 13, 1999. Also in April 1999, the Company 
purchased 21,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock from one of the holders 
of the debentures.

         In May 1999, the Company registered, issued and sold 2,300,000 
shares of its Common Stock in an underwritten public offering.

        THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT AND NOTE is entered into as 
of April 1, 1999 between KENNEDY-WILSON, INC., a Delaware corporation

                                  RECITALS

        A.  Borrowed and Lender are parties to the Amended and Restated 
Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of September 10, 1998 (the "Credit 
Agreement"). Debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement is evidenced by the 
Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated September 10, 1998 in the

2.4(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement, the form of Certification for Loan Request 
set forth as Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement and on the first page of the 
Note is deleted and "$21,500,000" is inserted in its place. Also, "Twenty 
Million" on the first page of the Note is deleted and "Twenty-One Million 
Five Hundred Thousand" is inserted in its place.

           (b)  A Section 4.15 is added to the Credit Agreement as follows: 
"4.15 POSITIVE NET INCOME. Borrower shall earn net income (calculated in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) in each fiscal 
year."

        2.  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The effectiveness of the amendments set 
forth in Section 1 above is subject to the following conditions precedent:

            (a)  Lender shall have received from Colony K-W, LLC a consent to 
the increase in the amount of credit available under the Credit Agreement and 
the Note and a confirmation that its loans to Borrower continue to be 
subordinate in right of repayment to the credit extended pursuant to the 
Credit Agreement; and

            (b)  such other conditions as Lender shall reasonably require.

        3.  OTHER AMENDMENTS.  Each reference in the Credit Agreement and the 
Note to the Credit Agreement and the Note will mean and be a reference to the 
Credit Agreement and Note as amended by this Amendment.

                                       -1-

<PAGE>


        4.  FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. Borrower represents that it has no rights 
of setoff relating to or defenses against payment of the credit extended by 
the Credit Agreement and the Note, that the indebtedness owing under the 
Credit Agreement and Note is payable in accordance with the terms of such 
documents, and, except as provided in or contemplated by this Amendment, such 
documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

        5.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Amendment constitutes the entire agreement 
and understanding among the parties with respect to the subject matter of 
such amendments and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with 
respect to such subject matter, whether oral or written.

        6.  FEES AND EXPENSES. Borrower agrees, on Lender's demand, to pay 
all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Amendment.
