NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

         The above financial statements have been prepared by Kennedy-Wilson,
   Inc. a Delaware corporation, and subsidiaries (the "Company") without audit
   by independent public accountants, pursuant to the Rules and Regulations
   promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
   Exchange Act of 1934. The statements, in the opinion of the Company, present
   fairly the financial position and results of operations for the dates and
   periods indicated. The 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 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes
   that the disclosures contained in the financial statements are adequate to
   make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements
   should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
   thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
   ended December 31, 1999. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior
   period balances to conform to the current period presentation. In accordance
   with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, the Company does not have
   any material disclosure items under comprehensive income.

NOTE 2 - NOTES RECEIVABLE

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

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS WITH RELATED PARTIES AND NON-AFFILIATES

         The Company has a number of partnerships and joint venture interests
   ranging from 2% to 50%, some with related parties, which were formed to
   acquire, manage, develop and or sell real estate. These investments are
   accounted for primarily under the equity method. Investments with related
   parties and non-affiliates also include mezzanine loans to real estate
   developers for new single-family residential developments. All investments
   with related parties and non-affiliates are recorded at the lower of cost or
   market.

NOTE 4 - REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE

         Real estate held for sale is comprised of commercial and residential
   properties and land, and is accounted for at the lower of carrying amount or
   fair value less cost to sell. Real estate is classified as held for sale
   since the Company's intent is to acquire, add value through leasing,
   improvements or entitlements, and then dispose of properties in the normal
   course of business.

NOTE 5 - BORROWINGS UNDER LINES OF CREDIT

         In June 2000, the Company extended its unsecured revolving credit
   facilities with East West Bank and Tokai Bank of California to June 2002 in
   the amounts of $20 million and $13 million respectively. The facilities are
   available for acquisitions and working capital. The facilities bear interest
   at three-month LIBOR plus 3%, payable monthly.

         The Company's business activities currently consist of property
   management, commercial and residential brokerage, and various types of real

         residential property management and leasing division, providing a full
         range of services relating to property management, including tenant

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

   OVERVIEW

         We are an international real estate services and investment 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
   estate, as well as individual and pools of distressed notes both in the U.S.
   and Japan.

   COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

   TOTAL REVENUES

         Total revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 were
   $15.5 million, which represents a 52% decrease from $32.5 million for the
   same period in 1999. Earnings before taxes for the three-month period ended
   September 30, 2000 were $1.4 million, which represents a 60% decrease from
   the same period in 1999 of $3.6 million. Net income for the three-month
   period ended September 30, 2000 was $948,000, which represents a 62% decrease
   from $2.5 million for September 30, 1999. The decline in total consolidated
   revenue resulted from the high sales of residential real estate in the third
   quarter of 1999 which was attributable to the sale of a $16 million company
   owned apartment building in Los Angeles.

         Property Management. Property management and leasing operations
   generated $9.4 million of revenues in the third quarter of 2000, representing
   61% of our total revenue and a 10% increase over property management revenue
   of $8.5 million for the same period in 1999. During 1999 we acquired five
   property management companies.

         Brokerage. Brokerage commission revenues for the third quarter of 2000
   were $3.9 million, representing 25% of total revenues and a 19% increase over
   brokerage commission revenues for the third quarter of 1999 of $3.3 million.
   The increase reflects the continued expansion of our brokerage services both
   in the U.S. and Japan, as well as our tenant representation business.

         Investments. There were no sales of residential real estate during the
   three month period ended September 30, 2000, due to labor shortages in the
   strong economy that delayed the completion of our project in Cathedral City,
   California. This project is expected to be completed and closed in the fourth
   quarter of 2000. The sale of a 95-unit apartment building located in Los
   Angeles, CA accounted for $16.0 million of the $17.0 million in revenue
   generated from sales of residential real estate during the third quarter of
   1999. The sale of 6 homes in a project located in Cathedral City, California
   accounted for the balance of revenue during this period.

         Equity in income of investments with related parties and non-affiliates
   totaled $686,000 for the third quarter in 2000, or 4% of total revenue
   compared to approximately $747,000 realized in the third quarter during 1999.
   The 8% decrease in revenue is due, in part, to a decrease in revenue
   associated with the mezzanine lending projects, most of which have matured.

         Gains on restructured notes totaled $516,000 for the three-month period
   ended September 30, 2000, or 3% of total revenues, a 15% decrease from
   $609,000 for the three- month period ended September 30, 1999. The decrease
   in revenue reflects the fact that most of the large assets have previously
   been settled or restructured and we are now in the process of settling the
   smaller assets. Our strategy to collect the note balances consists of either
   restructuring the note to performing status, negotiating a payoff, or
   foreclosing and selling the related collateral.


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
         Rental income declined to zero in the third quarter of 2000 compared to
   $1.7 million in the same period in 1999 as a result of the sale of 6255
   Sunset Blvd. office building, and the deconsolidation of the single purpose
   entities which acquired five commercial properties in Los Angeles.

         Interest and other income totaled $963,000 for the three month period
   ended September 30, 2000 or 6% of total revenue, a 51% increase from $636,000
   during the same period in 1999. This income during the third quarter of 2000
   primarily represents interest earned on restructured notes, and the
   forfeiture of escrow deposit money and a lease termination fee. During the
   same period in 1999, the income consisted primarily of interest earned on
   notes held on commercial and residential properties and restructured notes.

   TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES

         Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2000 were $14.1 million,
   representing a 51% decrease from $29.0 million for the same period in 1999.
   The decline in total expenses in the third quarter of 2000 compared to the
   third quarter of 1999 included the reduced cost of residential real estate
   sold, which corresponds with the revenue decline discussed above.
   Compensation and general and administrative expense increased in the third
   quarter of 2000 over the same period in 1999 primarily do to the increase in
   operating expenses associated with the property management companies acquired
   during the fourth quarter of 1999. When compared with the first and second
   quarters of 2000, compensation and related expenses have decreased 19% and
   11% respectively and general and administrative expense declined by
   approximately 7% and 1% respectively as a result of our on-going program to
   more efficiently manage our company. Depreciation and amortization expense
   increased primarily do to the purchase of the property management companies,
   while interest expense declined, in part because of the deconsolidation of
   the commercial properties.

         Brokerage commissions and marketing expenses increased to $2.0 million
   for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from approximately $298,000 during
   the same period of 1999. This increase is a result of the increased broker
   commission expense associated with sales and brokerage commissions generated
   by our property management companies.

         There was no revenue or associated cost of residential real estate sold
   during the three month period ending September 30, 2000 as compared to $15.8
   million in the third quarter of 1999 which correlates with the revenue from
   the sales of apartment building discussed above.

         Compensation and related expenses were $6.6 million for the third
   quarter of 2000, up 28% from $5.2 million for the third quarter of 1999. The
   increase was primarily a result of the acquisition of two property management
   companies in the fourth quarter of 1999.

         General and administrative expenses were $4.1 million for the third
   quarter of 2000, representing a 44% increase over the same period in 1999 of
   $2.8 million. The increase is primarily due to the expenses associated with
   our expanded property management operations.

         Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.3 million for the third
   quarter of 2000, compared to $1.0 million during the same period in 1999, a
   30% increase. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense resulting
   from the deconsolidation of the five commercial properties discussed above
   was offset by the amortization of goodwill, contracts and acquisition-related
   costs associated with the purchase of the property management companies.


                                       11
<PAGE>   12
         Interest expense was $158,000 for the third quarter of 2000, compared
   to $3.8 million during the same period in 1999, representing a 96% decrease.
   The decrease resulted primarily from the elimination of interest expense
   associated with the five commercial properties discussed above and the payoff
   of various high interest notes including $9 million of subordinated debt at
   14% interest. In addition, the accounting treatment of capitalizing the
   average rate of interest relating to some of the Company's development
   projects resulted in a credit to interest expense.

         The provision for income taxes was $488,000 for the third quarter in
   2000, a 55% decline over the third quarter in 1999 of $1.1 million due to the
   lower pre-tax net income.

COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

TOTAL REVENUES

         Total revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 were
   $75.9 million, which represents a 22% increase over $62.3 million for the
   same period in 1999. Earnings before taxes for the nine-month period ended
   September 30, 2000 were $5.5 million, which represents a 19% decrease from
   the same period in 1999 of $6.8 million. Net income for the nine-month period
   ended September 30, 2000 was $3.8 million, which represents a 17% decrease
   from $4.6 million for September 30, 1999.

         Property Management. Property management and leasing operations
   generated $31.1 million of revenues in the nine month period ended September
   30, 2000, representing 41% of our total revenue and a 46% increase over
   property management revenue of $21.2 million for the same period in 1999.
   During 1999 we acquired five property management companies.

         Brokerage. Brokerage commission revenues for the first nine months of
   2000 were $11.4 million, representing 15% of total revenues and a 87%
   increase over brokerage commission revenues for the same period in 1999 of
   $6.1 million. The increase reflects the continued expansion of our brokerage
   services both in the U.S. and Japan, as well as our tenant representation
   business.

         Investments. Sales of residential real estate were $25.7 million for
   the first nine months of 2000, representing 34% of total revenues and a
   7% increase over $23.9 million for the same nine months in 1999. This
   increase is due to sales from three projects, including the sale of a 53-unit
   condominium complex in West Los Angeles, twenty five units in a 109 unit
   single family development in Cathedral City, CA, and two single family homes
   in West Los Angeles. This compares to revenues for the first nine months
   period of 1999 from the sale of sixteen units of a 23 unit single family
   development in Palm Desert, seven units from the Cathedral City project and
   the sale of a 95-unit apartment building in Los Angeles, CA. The sales of
   residential real estate for both years reflect our continuing strategy to
   sell upon completion of planned improvements, rather than holding for
   speculation.

         Equity in income of investments with related parties and non-affiliates
   totaled $2.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, or
   4% of total revenue compared to $1.8 million realized in the same period
   during 1999, a 49% increase. Revenue from the mezzanine lending was
   $1,305,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, compared to
   $774,000 in the same period in 1999 due to maturing projects associated with
   the loans.

         Gains on restructured notes totaled $2.8 million in the nine month
   period ended September 30, 2000, or 4% of total revenues, a 34% increase
   from approximately $2.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30,
   1999. The gain reflects our continued progress in liquidating our portfolios
   of distressed notes that were purchased at substantial discounts to face
   value both in the U.S. and Japan. Our strategy to collect the note balances
   consists of either restructuring the note to performing status, negotiating a
   payoff, or foreclosing and selling the related collateral.


                                       12
<PAGE>   13

         Rental Income for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000 was
   $77,000 as compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 1999. This
   represents a 98% decrease due to the deconsolidation of the commercial
   buildings. The $77,000 was related to the condominium complex sold during
   January of 2000.

         Interest and other income totaled $2.2 million or 3% of total revenue
   for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, an increase of 79% from
   $1.2 million during the same period in 1999. Included in this category is
   interest earned on restructured notes, interest earned on the companies
   deferred compensation plan, interest earned on commercial notes receivable,
   the forfeiture of escrow deposit money and a lease termination fee and
   expense reimbursement.

         Gain on sale of commercial real estate of approximately $1.1 in for the
   first nine months of 1999 resulted from the sale of two land parcels in
   Hawaii. There were no sales of commercial real estate during the same period
   of 2000.

   TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES

         Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2000 were $70.4
   million, representing a 27% increase from $55.5 million for the same period
   in 1999. This increase in operating expense was primarily associated with the
   five property management companies acquired in 1999. The increase was
   partially offset by the reduction in interest expense.

         Brokerage commissions and marketing expenses increased to $6.8 million
   for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 from $663,000 during the
   same period of 1999. The increase resulted from business development and
   broker commissions expense which, for the most part, relates to income
   generated by the property management companies acquired during the fourth
   quarter of 1999.

         Cost of residential real estate sold was $22.9 million for the nine
   month period ended September 30, 2000, a 2% increase from $22.3 million for
   the same period in 1999. The increase correlates with the increased revenues
   from the sales of residential real estate discussed above.

         Compensation and related expenses was $22.0 million for the nine month
   period ended September 30, 2000, up 74% from $12.7 million for the same
   period in 1999. The increase was primarily a result of the acquisition of
   five property management companies in 1999.

         General and administrative expenses were $12.7 million during the first
   nine months of 2000, representing a 59% increase over the same period in
   1999 of $8.0 million. The increase is primarily due to the expenses
   associated with our expanded property management operations.

         Depreciation and amortization expense was $3.0 million for the first
   nine months of 2000, compared to $2.4 million during the same period in 1999,
   representing a 26% increase. The increase was due, in part, to the
   amortization of the goodwill and property management contracts and related
   expenses associated with the acquisition of the property management
   companies.

         Interest expense was $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2000,
   compared to $9.4 million during the same period in 1999, representing a 68%
   decrease. The decrease resulted from the elimination of the interest expense
   associated with the five commercial properties discussed above and the payoff
   of various high interest notes including $9 million of subordinated debt at
   14% interest. In addition, the accounting treatment of capitalizing the
   average rate of interest relating to some of the Company's development
   projects resulted to a credit to interest expense.


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

         The provision for income taxes was approximately $1.7 million for the
   first nine months of 2000, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in
   1999 resulting from a decrease in pre-tax net income.

   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Our liquidity and capital resources requirements include investments in
   joint ventures, expenditures for distressed notes pools, real estate held for
   sale and working capital needs. We finance our operations and investments
   with internally generated funds, borrowings under our revolving lines of
   credit, mortgage loans, and joint venture partner capital. Our investments in
   real estate are typically financed by mortgage loans secured by that real
   estate. These mortgage loans are generally nonrecourse in that, in the event
   of default, recourse will be limited to the mortgaged property serving as
   collateral, subject to certain exceptions that are standard in the real
   estate industry.

         Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended
   September 30, 2000 was $8.7 million, compared to $9.2 million for the same
   period in 1999. The change resulted primarily from the change in net income
   and accounts receivable.

         Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended
   September 30, 2000 was $4.1 million, compared to $14.1 million during the
   same period in 1999. The change resulted primarily from the decrease in notes
   receivable acquired during 2000 compared to 1999, offset by the increase in
   net contributions to joint ventures in 2000 compared to 1999.

         Cash provided by financing activities was $10.0 million for the first
   nine months of 2000, compared to about $17.3 million for the same period of
   1999. The financing activities in the first nine months of 2000 consisted
   primarily of the issuance of $15 million in senior unsecured debt, offset by
   repayments of subordinated debt.

         We regularly monitor our working capital and investment financing
   needs, as well as our capital raising alternatives. To the extent that we
   engage in additional strategic investments we may need to obtain third party
   financing which could include joint venture partners, 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 unsecured $33 million lines of credit with
   East-West Bank and Tokai Bank, will provide us with sufficient capital
   requirements for the foreseeable future. We also intend to continue to retain
   earnings to finance our growth and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any
   dividends. Our need, if any, to raise additional funds will depend on
   numerous factors, including the success and pace of the implementation of our
   growth strategy.
