2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition include the portion of consolidated sponsored investment funds in which the Company does not have direct equity ownership. Significant accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain financial information that normally is included in annual financial statements, including certain financial statement footnotes, is not required for interim reporting purposes and has been condensed or omitted herein. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 1, 2013 (2012 Form 10-K).
The interim financial information at June 30, 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the interim information includes all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys results for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Fair Value Measurements.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs. The provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10), establish a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and require companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments according to the fair value hierarchy (i.e., Level 1, 2 and 3 inputs, as defined). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1 Inputs:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the reporting date.
| Level 1 assets may include listed mutual funds (including those accounted for under the equity method of accounting as these mutual funds are investment companies that have publicly available net asset values (NAVs), which in accordance with GAAP, are calculated under fair value measures and the changes are equal to the earnings of such funds), ETFs, listed equities and certain exchange-traded derivatives. |
Level 2 Inputs:
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; quotes from pricing services or brokers for which the Company can determine that orderly transactions took place at the quoted price or that the inputs used to arrive at the price are observable; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as models or other valuation methodologies. As a practical expedient, the Company relies on the NAV (or its equivalent) of certain investments as their fair value.
| Level 2 assets may include debt securities, bank loans, short-term floating rate notes and asset-backed securities, securities held within consolidated hedge funds, certain equity method limited partnership interests in hedge funds valued based on NAV (or its equivalent) where the Company has the ability to redeem at the measurement date or within the near term without redemption restrictions, restricted public securities valued at a discount, as well as over-the-counter derivatives, including interest and inflation rate swaps and foreign currency exchange contracts that have inputs to the valuations that generally can be corroborated by observable market data. |
Level 3 Inputs:
Unobservable inputs for the valuation of the asset or liability, which may include non-binding broker quotes. Level 3 assets include investments for which there is little, if any, market activity. These inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. Certain investments that are valued using a NAV (or its equivalent) and are subject to current redemption restrictions that will not be lifted in the near term are included in Level 3.
| Level 3 assets may include general and limited partnership interests in private equity funds, funds of private equity funds, real estate funds, hedge funds and funds of hedge funds, direct private equity investments held within consolidated funds, bank loans and bonds. |
8
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Value Measurements (continued)
| Level 3 liabilities include borrowings of consolidated collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) valued based upon non-binding single-broker quotes. |
| Level 3 inputs include BlackRock capital accounts for its partnership interests in various alternative investments, including distressed credit hedge funds, real estate and private equity funds, which may be adjusted by using the returns of certain market indices. |
Significance of Inputs. The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument.
Valuation Techniques. The fair values of certain Level 3 assets and liabilities were determined using various methodologies as appropriate, including NAVs of underlying investments, third-party pricing vendors, broker quotes and market and income approaches. Such quotes and modeled prices are evaluated for reasonableness through various procedures, including due diligence reviews of third-party pricing vendors, variance analyses, consideration of the current market environment and other analytical procedures.
As a practical expedient, the Company relies on NAV as the fair value for certain investments. The inputs to value these investments may include BlackRock capital accounts for its partnership interests in various alternative investments, including distressed credit hedge funds, real estate and private equity funds, which may be adjusted by using the returns of certain market indices. The various partnerships are investment companies, which record their underlying investments at fair value based on fair value policies established by management of the underlying fund. Fair value policies at the underlying fund generally require the fund to utilize pricing/valuation information, from third-party sources including independent appraisals. However, in some instances, current valuation information for illiquid securities or securities in markets that are not active may not be available from any third-party source or fund management may conclude that the valuations that are available from third-party sources are not reliable. In these instances, fund management may perform model-based analytical valuations that may be used as an input to value these investments.
A significant amount of inputs used to value equity, debt securities and bank loans is sourced from well-recognized third-party pricing vendors. Generally, prices obtained from pricing vendors are categorized as Level 1 inputs for identical securities traded in active markets and as Level 2 for other similar securities if the vendor uses observable inputs in determining the price. Annually, BlackRocks internal valuation committee or other designated groups review both the valuation methodologies, including the general assumptions and methods used to value various asset classes, and operational processes with these vendors. In addition, on a quarterly basis, meetings are held with the vendors to identify any significant changes to the vendors processes.
In addition, quotes obtained from brokers generally are non-binding and categorized as Level 3 inputs. However, if the Company is able to determine that market participants have transacted for the asset in an orderly manner near the quoted price or if the Company can determine that the inputs used by the broker are observable, the quote is classified as a Level 2 input.
Fair Value Option. ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10), provides a fair value option election that allows companies an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and
9
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Value Measurements (continued)
subsequent accounting measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. ASC 825-10 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. The decision to elect the fair value option is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis, which must be applied to an entire instrument, and not only specified risks, specific cash flows, or portions of that instrument, and is irrevocable once elected. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to ASC 825-10 are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured using another accounting method.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815-10), establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivatives embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. ASC 815-10 generally requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and to measure those investments at fair value.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company uses derivative financial instruments primarily for purposes of hedging: (i) exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of certain assets and liabilities, (ii) market exposures for certain seed investments and (iii) future cash flows on floating-rate notes. The Company may also use derivatives within its separate account assets, which are segregated funds held for purposes of funding individual and group pension contracts. In addition, certain consolidated sponsored investment funds may also invest in derivatives as a part of their investment strategy.
Changes in the fair value of the Companys derivative financial instruments are generally recognized in earnings and, where applicable, are offset by the corresponding gain or loss on the related foreign-denominated assets or liabilities or hedged investments, on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Separate Account Assets and Liabilities. Separate account assets are maintained by BlackRock Life Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which is a registered life insurance company in the United Kingdom, and represent segregated assets held for purposes of funding individual and group pension contracts. The life insurance company does not underwrite any insurance contracts that involve any insurance risk transfer from the insured to the life insurance company. The separate accounts assets primarily include equity, debt securities, money market funds and derivatives. The separate account assets are not subject to general claims of the creditors of BlackRock. These separate account assets and the related equal and offsetting liabilities are recorded as separate account assets and separate account liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition in accordance with the ASC 944-80, Financial Services Separate Accounts.
The net investment income attributable to separate account assets supporting individual and group pension contracts accrues directly to the contract owner and is not reported on the condensed consolidated statements of income. While BlackRock has no economic interest in these separate account assets and liabilities, BlackRock earns policy administration and management fees associated with these products, which are included in investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Separate Account Collateral Assets Held and Liabilities Under Securities Lending Agreements. The Company facilitates securities lending arrangements whereby securities held by separate account assets maintained by BlackRock Life Limited are lent to third parties under global master securities lending agreements. In exchange, the Company receives collateral with minimum values generally ranging from approximately 102% to 112% of the value of the securities lent in order to reduce counterparty risk. The required collateral value is calculated on a daily basis. The global master securities lending agreements provide the Company, in the event of customer default, the right to liquidate collateral or to request additional collateral. Under the Companys securities lending arrangements, the Company can resell or re-pledge the collateral and the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities. The securities lending transactions entered into by the Company are accompanied by an agreement that entitles the Company to request the borrower to return the securities at any time; therefore, these transactions are not reported as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing.
As a result of the Companys ability to resell or re-pledge the collateral, the Company records on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition the cash and non-cash collateral received under these arrangements as its own asset in addition to an equal and offsetting collateral liability for the obligation to return the collateral. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had not re-sold or re-pledged any of the collateral received under these arrangements. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of loaned securities held by separate account assets was approximately $17.7 billion and $21.0 billion, respectively, and the fair value of the collateral held under these securities lending agreements was approximately $19.4 billion and $23.0 billion, respectively.
Appropriated Retained Earnings. Upon the initial consolidation of CLOs, BlackRock records a cumulative effect adjustment to appropriated retained earnings on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition equal to the difference between the fair value of the CLOs assets and the fair value of their liabilities. Such amounts are recorded as appropriated retained earnings as the CLO noteholders, not BlackRock, ultimately will receive the benefits or absorb the losses associated with the CLOs assets and liabilities. The net change in the fair value of the CLOs assets and liabilities is recorded as net income (loss) attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests and as an adjustment to appropriated retained earnings.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Amendments to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Disclosures. On February 5, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02), which added new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). See Note 15, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. On December 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11), which creates new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entitys rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. On January 31, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2013-01), that provides clarification about which instruments and transactions are subject to ASU 2011-11. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 on January 1, 2013 was not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Cumulative Translation Adjustment. In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (ASU 2013-05). ASU 2013-05 addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2014. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2013-05 will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Investment Company Guidance. In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Financial Services Investment Companies: Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2013-08). ASU 2013-08 amends the current criteria for an entity to qualify as an investment company, creates new disclosure requirements and amends the measurement criteria for certain interests in other investment companies. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2013-08, which is effective for the Company on January 1, 2014.
Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (ASU 2013-10). ASU 2013-10 provides for the inclusion of certain interest rate benchmarks for hedge accounting purposes. ASU 2013-10 is effective for the Company for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2013-10 will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11). ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2014. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2013-11 will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

BlackRocks total exposure to consolidated sponsored investment funds of $575 million and $430 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, represents the value of the Companys economic ownership interest in these sponsored investment funds. Valuation changes associated with these consolidated investment funds are reflected in non-operating income (expense) and partially offset in net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests for the portion not attributable to BlackRock.
In addition, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, several consolidated CLOs and one investment fund, which were deemed to be VIEs, were excluded from the balances in the table above as the balances for these investment products are reported separately on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. See Note 6, Variable Interest Entities, for further discussion of these consolidated investment products.
The Company is not readily able to access cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated sponsored investment funds to use in its operating activities. In addition, the Company is not readily able to sell investments held by consolidated sponsored investment funds in order to obtain cash for use in the Companys operations.

Level 3 Assets. Level 3 investments of $656 million and $679 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, primarily related to equity method investments and consolidated sponsored investment funds. Level 3 assets within investments, except for direct investments in private equity companies held by private equity funds described below, were primarily valued based upon NAVs received from internal as well as third-party fund managers.
Direct investments in private equity companies held by private equity funds totaled $42 million and $56 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Direct investments in private equity companies may be valued using the market approach or the income approach, or a combination thereof, and were valued based on an assessment of each underlying investment, incorporating evaluation of additional significant third-party financing, changes in valuations of comparable peer companies, the business environment of the companies, market indices, assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and legal restrictions on disposition, among other factors. The fair value derived from the methods used is evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range of values indicated. Under the market approach, fair value may be determined by reference to multiples of market-comparable companies or transactions, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiples. Under the income approach, fair value may be determined by discounting the expected cash flows to a single present value amount using current expectations about those future amounts. Unobservable inputs used in a discounted cash flow model may include projections of operating performance generally covering a five-year period and a terminal value of the private equity direct investment. For securities utilizing the discounted cash flow valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate, risk premium or discount for lack of marketability in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. For securities utilizing the market comparable companies valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the EBITDA multiple in isolation could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

A portion of net income (loss) for consolidated investments and all of the net income (loss) for consolidated VIEs are allocated to noncontrolling interests to reflect net income (loss) not attributable to the Company.
Transfers in and/or out of Levels. Transfers in and/or out of levels are reflected when significant inputs, including market inputs or performance attributes, used for the fair value measurement become observable/unobservable, or when the Company determines it has the ability, or no longer has the ability, to redeem, in the near term, certain investments that the Company values using a NAV (or a capital account), or when the book value of certain equity method investments no longer represents fair value as determined under valuation methodologies.
Separate Account Assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, there were $14 million of transfers of equity securities into Level 3 from Level 1. These transfers into Level 3 primarily were due to market inputs no longer being considered observable.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were $8 million of transfers out of Level 3 into Level 1 related to equity securities held within separate accounts. These transfers out of Level 3 were due to availability of observable market inputs.
Assets of Consolidated VIEs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there were $39 million and $76 million, respectively, of transfers out of Level 3 to Level 2 related to bank loans. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there were $17 million and $32 million, respectively, of transfers into Level 3 from Level 2 related to bank loans. These transfers in and out of Levels 2 and 3 were primarily due to availability/unavailability of observable market inputs, including inputs from pricing vendors and brokers.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were $19 million and $61 million, respectively, of transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2 related to bank loans. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were $47 million and $52 million, respectively, of transfers into Level 3 from Level 2 related to bank loans. These transfers in and out of Levels 2 and 3 primarily were due to availability/unavailability of observable market inputs, including inputs from pricing vendors and brokers.
Consolidated Sponsored Investment Funds. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were $12 million of transfers out of Level 1 to Level 2 related to consolidated private equity funds. This transfer was due to a direct investment in a public company held by a consolidated private equity fund valued at a discount due to restrictions on sale.
Other Significant Settlements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there were $16 million and $48 million, respectively, of distributions from equity method investees categorized in Level 3.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were $19 million and $33 million, respectively, of distributions from equity method investees categorized in Level 3.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, other settlements included $134 million related to a deconsolidation of a consolidated fund of hedge funds, which was previously classified as a VIE. This fund was deconsolidated during the second quarter 2013 due to the granting of additional substantive rights to unaffiliated investors of the fund.

5. Fair Value Disclosures (continued)
In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, there was a $28 million reclassification of a Level 3 investment from a consolidated sponsored investment fund to an equity method investment due to a change in ownership percentage.
Disclosures of Fair Value for Financial Instruments Not Held at Fair Value. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Companys financial instruments not held at fair value are categorized in the table below:

Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share
As a practical expedient to value certain investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and have attributes of an investment company, the Company relies on NAV as the fair value for certain investments. The following tables list information regarding all investments that use a fair value measurement to account for both their financial assets and financial liabilities in their calculation of a NAV per share (or its equivalent).

(a) | This category includes consolidated offshore feeder funds that invest in master funds with multiple equity strategies to diversify risks. The fair values of the investments in this category have been estimated using the NAV of master offshore funds held by the feeder funds. Investments in this category generally can be redeemed at any time, as long as there are no restrictions in place by the underlying master funds. |
(b) | This category includes the underlying third-party private equity funds within consolidated BlackRock sponsored private equity funds of funds. The fair values of the investments in the third-party funds have been estimated using capital accounts representing the Companys ownership interest in each fund in the portfolio as well as other performance inputs. These investments are not subject to redemption; however, for certain funds, the Company may sell or transfer its interest, which may need approval by the general partner of the underlying funds. Due to the nature of the investments in this category, the Company reduces its investment by distributions that are received through the realization of the underlying assets of the funds. It is estimated that the underlying assets of these funds will be liquidated over a weighted-average period of approximately seven years at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The total remaining unfunded commitments to other third-party funds were $26 million and $32 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company was contractually obligated to fund $30 million at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 to the consolidated funds. |
(c) | This category includes consolidated funds of hedge funds that invest in multiple strategies to diversify risks. The fair values of the investments have been estimated using the NAV of the funds ownership interest in partners capital of each fund in the portfolio. Certain of the underlying funds can be redeemed as long as there are no restrictions in place. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the underlying funds that are currently restricted from redemptions within one year will be redeemable in approximately 12 to 24 months. This category also includes a consolidated offshore feeder fund that invests in a master fund with multiple alternative investment strategies. The fair value of this investment has been estimated using the NAV of the master offshore fund held by the feeder fund. The investment is currently subject to restrictions in place by the underlying master fund. |

(d) | This category includes hedge funds and funds of hedge funds that invest primarily in equities, fixed income securities, distressed credit and mortgage instruments and other third-party hedge funds. The fair values of the investments have been estimated using the NAV of the Companys ownership interest in partners capital. It was estimated that the investments in the funds that are not subject to redemption will be liquidated over a weighted-average period of approximately four and five years at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. |
(e) | This category includes several private equity funds that initially invest in non-marketable securities of private companies, which ultimately may become public in the future. The fair values of these investments have been estimated using capital accounts representing the Companys ownership interest in the funds as well as other performance inputs. The Companys investment in each fund is not subject to redemption and is normally returned through distributions as a result of the liquidation of the underlying assets of the private equity funds. It was estimated that the investments in these funds will be liquidated over a weighted-average period of approximately five years at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. |
(f) | This category includes several real estate funds that invest directly in real estate and real estate related assets. The fair values of the investments have been estimated using capital accounts representing the Companys ownership interest in the funds. A majority of the Companys investments are not subject to redemption or are not currently redeemable and is normally returned through distributions as a result of the liquidation of the underlying assets of the real estate funds. It is estimated that the investments in these funds not subject to redemptions will be liquidated over a weighted-average period of approximately seven years at June 30, 2013 and eight years at December 31, 2012. |
(g) | This category includes investments in certain hedge funds that invest in energy and health science related equity securities. The fair values of the investments in this category have been estimated using capital accounts representing the Companys ownership interest in partners capital as well as performance inputs. The investments in these funds will be liquidated upon settlement of certain deferred compensation liabilities. |
(h) | This category includes the underlying third-party private equity funds within one consolidated BlackRock sponsored private equity fund of funds. The fair values of the investments in the third-party funds have been estimated using capital accounts representing the Companys ownership interest in each fund in the portfolio as well as other performance inputs. These investments are not subject to redemption; however, for certain funds the Company may sell or transfer its interest, which may need approval by the general partner of the underlying third-party funds. Due to the nature of the investments in this category, the Company reduces its investment by distributions that are received through the realization of the underlying assets of the funds. It is estimated that the underlying assets of these funds will be liquidated over a weighted-average period of approximately two years at June 30, 2013 and three years at December 31, 2012. Total remaining unfunded commitments to other third-party funds were $1 million at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which commitments are required to be funded by capital contributions from noncontrolling interest holders. |
Fair Value Option. Upon the initial consolidation of certain CLOs, the Company elected to adopt the fair value option provisions for eligible assets and liabilities, including bank loans and borrowings of the CLOs to mitigate accounting mismatches between the carrying value of the assets and liabilities and to achieve operational simplification. To the extent there is a difference between the change in fair value of the assets and liabilities, the difference will be reflected as net income (loss) attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of income and offset by a change in appropriated retained earnings on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the change in fair value of the bank loans and bonds held by the CLOs resulted in a $7 million gain and a $22 million gain, respectively, which were offset by a $23 million loss and a $7 million loss, respectively, from the change in fair value of the CLO borrowings.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the change in fair value of the bank loans and bonds held by the CLOs resulted in a $79 million gain and a $78 million gain, respectively, which were offset by a $64 million loss and a $74 million loss, respectively, from the change in fair value of the CLO borrowings.
The net gains (losses) were recorded in net gain (loss) on consolidated VIEs on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
The change in fair value of the assets and liabilities included interest income and expense, respectively.
6. Variable Interest Entities
In the normal course of business, the Company is the manager of various types of sponsored investment vehicles, including collateralized debt obligations (CDOs)/CLOs and sponsored investment funds, which may be considered VIEs. The Company receives advisory fees and/or other incentive-related fees for its services and may from time to time own equity or debt securities or enter into derivatives with the vehicles, each of which are considered variable interests. The Company enters into these variable interests principally to address client needs through the launch of such investment vehicles. The VIEs are primarily financed via capital contributed by equity and debt holders. The Companys involvement in financing the operations of the VIEs is generally limited to its equity interests.
30
6. Variable Interest Entities (continued)
The primary beneficiary (PB) of a VIE that is an investment fund that meets the conditions of ASU 2010-10, Amendments to Statement 167 for Certain Investment Funds (ASU 2010-10), is the enterprise that has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests, including those of related parties) that will absorb a majority of the entitys expected losses, receive a majority of the entitys expected residual returns or both. In order to determine whether the Company is the PB of a VIE, management must make significant estimates and assumptions of probable future cash flows of the VIEs. Assumptions made in such analyses may include, but are not limited to, market prices of securities, market interest rates, potential credit defaults on individual securities or default rates on a portfolio of securities, pre-payments, realization of gains, liquidity or marketability of certain securities, discount rates and the probability of certain other outcomes.
The PB of a CDO/CLO or other entity that is a VIE that does not meet the conditions of ASU 2010-10 is the enterprise that has the power to direct activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that potentially could be significant to the entity.
Consolidated VIEs. Consolidated VIEs included CLOs in which BlackRock did not have an investment; however, BlackRock, as the collateral manager, was deemed to have both the power to control the activities of the CLOs and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the CLOs. In addition, BlackRock was the PB of one investment fund because it absorbed the majority of the variability due to its de facto third-party relationships with other partners in the fund. The assets of these VIEs are not available to creditors of the Company. In addition, the investors in these VIEs have no recourse to the credit of the Company. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the following balances related to VIEs were consolidated on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition:

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded non-operating income of $4 million and a non-operating loss of $1 million, respectively, offset by $4 million net income attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests and a $1 million net loss attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests, respectively, on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the weighted-average maturities of the bank loans and bonds attributable to consolidated VIEs were approximately 4.8 and 4.5 years, respectively.
Non-Consolidated VIEs. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Companys carrying value of assets and liabilities and its maximum risk of loss related to VIEs for which it was the sponsor or in which it held a variable interest, but for which it was not the PB, were as follows:

6. Variable Interest Entities (continued)
December 31, 2012. Each collective trust has been aggregated separately and may include collective trusts that invest in other collective trusts. The net assets of these VIEs primarily are comprised of cash and cash equivalents and investments offset by liabilities primarily comprised of various accruals for the sponsored investment vehicles.
7. Derivatives and Hedging
In May 2011, the Company entered into a designated cash flow hedge consisting of a $750 million interest rate swap maturing in 2013 to hedge future cash flows on the Companys floating rate notes due in 2013. Interest on this swap was at a fixed rate of 1.03%, payable semi-annually on May 24 and November 24 of each year. During the second quarter 2013, the interest rate swap matured and the floating rate notes were fully repaid.
The Company maintains a program to enter into swaps to hedge against market price and interest rate exposures with respect to certain seed investments in sponsored investment products. At June 30, 2013, the Company had 12 outstanding total return swaps and four outstanding interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of approximately $80 million and $68 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the Company had 21 outstanding total return swaps with an aggregate notional value of approximately $206 million. The fair value of the outstanding swaps at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was not material.
Market risk from forward foreign currency exchange contracts is the effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in currency exchange rates. The Company manages certain exposure to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degrees of market risk that may be undertaken. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts with an aggregate notional value of approximately $105 million and $79 million, respectively. The fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was not material to the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
The Company entered into a credit default swap, providing credit protection to a counterparty of approximately $17 million, representing the Companys maximum risk of loss with respect to the provision of credit protection. The Company carries the credit default swap at fair value based on the expected future cash flows under the arrangement. The fair value of the credit default swap was $5 million at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
Gains (losses) on total return swaps are recorded in non-operating income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of income and were $2 million and ($5) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and were $9 million and ($3) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
Gains (losses) on the interest rate swap, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and credit default swap were not material to the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
The Company consolidates certain sponsored investment funds, which may utilize derivative instruments as a part of the funds investment strategies. The fair value of such derivatives at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was not material. The change in fair value of such derivatives, which is recorded in non-operating income (expense), was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

(1) | The decrease in goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily resulted from a decline related to tax benefits realized from tax-deductible goodwill in excess of book goodwill from the acquisition of the fund-of-funds business of Quellos Group, LLC in October 2007 (the Quellos Transaction). Goodwill related to the Quellos Transaction will continue to be reduced in future periods by the amount of tax benefits realized from tax-deductible goodwill in excess of book goodwill from the Quellos Transaction. The balance of the Quellos tax-deductible goodwill in excess of book goodwill was approximately $308 million and $324 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. |

At March 31, 2013, BlackRock held an approximately one-third economic equity interest in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (PNMAC), which is accounted for as an equity method investment and is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. On May 8, 2013, PennyMac became the sole managing member of PNMAC in connection with an initial public offering of PennyMac (the PennyMac IPO). As a result of the PennyMac IPO, BlackRock recorded a non-cash, non-operating pre-tax gain of $39 million related to the carrying value of its equity method investment.
Subsequent to the PennyMac IPO, the Company contributed 6.1 million units of its PennyMac investment to a new donor advised fund (the Charitable Contribution). The fair value of the Charitable Contribution was $124 million and is included in general and administration expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income. In connection with the Charitable Contribution, the Company also recorded a non-cash, non-operating pre-tax gain of $80 million related to the contributed investment and a tax benefit of approximately $57 million.
The carrying value and fair value of the Companys remaining interest (approximately 20% or 16 million units) in PennyMac was approximately $111 million and $331 million, respectively, at June 30, 2013.

was increased to $3.990 billion (the 2013 credit facility). The 2013 credit facility permits the Company to request up to an additional $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity, subject to lender credit approval, increasing the overall size of the 2013 credit facility to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $4.990 billion. Interest on borrowings outstanding accrues at a rate based on the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread. The 2013 credit facility requires the Company not to exceed a maximum leverage ratio (ratio of net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, where net debt equals total debt less unrestricted cash) of 3 to 1, which was satisfied with a ratio of less than 1 to 1 at June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013, the Company had no amount outstanding under the 2013 credit facility.
Commercial Paper Program. In April 2013, BlackRock increased the maximum aggregate amount for which the Company could issue unsecured commercial paper notes (the CP Notes) on a private-placement basis up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $3.990 billion. The commercial paper program is currently supported by the 2013 credit facility.
At June 30, 2013, BlackRock had no CP Notes outstanding.
