Exhibit 99.2
INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BlackRock, Inc.:
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of BlackRock, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of BlackRock, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 28, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

BlackRock, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Introduction and Basis of Presentation
Business. BlackRock, Inc. (together, with its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise indicates,
BlackRock or the Company) provides diversified investment management services to institutional clients, intermediary and individual investors through various investment vehicles. Investment management services primarily
consist of the management of equity, fixed income, multi-asset class, alternative investment and cash management products. BlackRock offers its investment products in a variety of vehicles, including open-end and closed-end mutual funds,
iShares® exchange-traded funds (ETFs), collective investment trusts and separate accounts. In addition, BlackRock provides market risk management,
financial markets advisory and enterprise investment system services to a broad base of clients. Financial markets advisory services include valuation services relating to illiquid securities, dispositions and workout assignments (including
long-term portfolio liquidation assignments), risk management and strategic planning and execution.
On May 29, 2012, BlackRock completed a
secondary offering of 26,211,335 shares of common stock held by Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays) at a price of $160.00 per share, which included 23,211,335 shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of Series B Convertible
Participating Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred) by a subsidiary of Barclays. Upon completion of this offering, BlackRock repurchased 6,377,552 shares directly from Barclays at a price of $156.80 per share (consisting of 6,346,036
shares of Series B Preferred and 31,516 shares of common stock). The total transactions, including the full exercise of the underwriters option to purchase 2,621,134 additional shares in the secondary offering, amounted to 35,210,021 shares,
resulting in Barclays exiting its entire ownership position in BlackRock.
On December 31, 2012, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.
(PNC) held 20.8% of the Companys voting common stock and 21.9% of the Companys capital stock, which includes outstanding common and non-voting preferred stock.
See Note 17, Capital Stock, for more information on the equity ownership of BlackRock.
Basis of Presentation.
These 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.
Non-controlling interests
on the 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 items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to
the current year presentation.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents primarily consists of cash, money market funds and short-term, highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less in which the Company is exposed to market and credit risk. Cash and cash equivalent balances that are legally restricted from use by the Company are recorded in other assets on the
consolidated statements of financial condition. Cash balances maintained by consolidated sponsored investment funds are not considered legally restricted and are included in cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of financial
condition. Cash balances maintained by consolidated VIEs are included in assets of consolidated variable interest entities on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Investments
Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities. BlackRock holds debt and
marketable equity investments, which pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320-10, Investments Debt and Equity Securities, are classified as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity based on the
Companys intent to sell the security or, for a debt security, the Companys intent and ability to hold the debt security to maturity.
Trading securities are those investments that are purchased principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Trading securities are carried at fair
value on the consolidated statements of financial condition with changes in fair value recorded in non-operating income (expense) on the consolidated statements of income in the period of the change.
F-11
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Held-to-maturity debt securities are purchased with the positive intent and ability to be held to maturity and are
recorded at amortized cost on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Available-for-sale securities are those securities that are not
classified as trading or held-to-maturity. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial condition with changes in fair value recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
component of stockholders equity in the period of the change. Upon the disposition of an available-for-sale security, the Company reclassifies the gain or loss on the security from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to non-operating
income (expense) on the consolidated statements of income.
Equity Method. For equity investments where BlackRock does not control the investee,
and where it is not the primary beneficiary (PB) of a VIE, but can exert significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee, the Company follows the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323,
Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Under the equity method of accounting, BlackRocks share of the investees underlying net income or loss is recorded as net gain (loss) on investments within non-operating income
(expense) and as other revenue for operating advisory company investments since such companies are considered to be an extension of BlackRocks core business. BlackRocks share of net income of the investee is recorded based upon the most
current information available at the time, which may precede the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition. Distributions received from the investment reduce the Companys carrying value of the investee.
Cost Method. For non-marketable equity investments where BlackRock neither controls nor has significant influence over the investee, the investments are
accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Under the cost method, dividends received from the investment are recorded as dividend income within non-operating income (expense).
Impairments of Investments. The Companys management periodically assesses its equity method, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity and cost investments for impairment. If circumstances indicate
that impairment may exist, investments are evaluated using market values, where available, or the expected future cash flows of the investment. If the undiscounted expected future cash flows are lower than the Companys carrying value of the
investment, an impairment charge is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.
When the fair value of available-for-sale securities is lower than cost, the Company evaluates the securities to
determine whether the impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary.
In making this determination for equity securities, the Company
considers, among other factors, the length of time the security has been in a loss position, the extent to which the securitys market value is less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the securitys issuer and
the Companys ability and intent to hold the security for a length of time sufficient to allow for recovery of such unrealized losses. If the impairment is considered other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in non-operating
income (expense) on the consolidated statements of income.
In making this determination for debt securities, the Company considers whether: (1) it
has the intent to sell the security, (2) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery or (3) it expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. If the Company does not intend
to sell a security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security, but the security has suffered a credit loss, the credit loss will be bifurcated from the total impairment and recorded in earnings with the
remaining portion recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Consolidation
For investment products in which BlackRocks voting interest is less than 50%, an analysis is performed to determine if the investment product is a VIE or a
voting rights entity. Upon the determination that the investment product is a VIE, further analysis, as discussed below, is performed to determine if BlackRock is the PB of the investment product, which would require consolidation.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. Pursuant to ASC 810-10, Consolidation (ASC 810-10) certain investment products for
which the risks and rewards of ownership are not directly linked to voting interests may be deemed VIEs. BlackRock reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected
residual returns, to determine if the investment product is a VIE. BlackRock is required to consolidate a VIE when it is deemed to be the PB, which is evaluated continuously as facts and circumstances change.
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-10, Amendments to Statement 167 for Certain Investment Funds (ASU 2010-10) defers the
application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
F-12
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), for certain investment funds, including money market funds.
The PB of a VIE that is not subject to 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 VIE.
The PB of a VIE that meets the
conditions of ASU 2010-10 is the enterprise that has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests, including those of related parties) that absorbs the majority of the entitys expected losses, receives a majority of the
entitys expected residual returns, or both.
Consolidation of Voting Rights Entities. To the extent that BlackRock can exert control over
the financial and operating policies of the investee, which generally exists if there is a 50% or greater voting interest or if partners or members of certain products do not have substantive rights, BlackRock consolidates the investee.
The Company, as general partner or managing member of certain sponsored investment funds, generally is presumed to control funds that are limited partnerships or
limited liability companies. Pursuant to ASC 810-20, Control of Partnerships and Similar Entities (ASC 810-20), the Company reviews such investment vehicles to determine if such a presumption can be overcome by determining whether
other non-affiliated partners or members of the limited partnership or limited liability company have the substantive ability to dissolve (liquidate) the investment vehicle, or to otherwise remove BlackRock as the general partner or managing member
without cause based on a simple unaffiliated majority vote, or have other substantive participating rights. If the investment vehicle is not a VIE and the presumption of control is not overcome, BlackRock will consolidate the investment vehicle.
Retention of Specialized Accounting Principles. Upon consolidation of certain sponsored investment funds, the Company retains the specialized
accounting principles of the underlying funds pursuant to ASC 810-10. All of the underlying investments held by such consolidated sponsored investment funds are carried at fair value, with corresponding changes in the investments fair values
reflected in non-operating income (expense) on the consolidated statements of income. When the Company no longer controls these funds due to reduced ownership percentage or other reasons, the funds are deconsolidated and accounted for under another
accounting method if the Company still maintains an investment.
Separate Account Assets and Liabilities. Separate account assets are maintained by 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 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 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 accrue directly to the contract owner and are not reported on the 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 consolidated statements of income.
Collateral Assets Held and Liabilities Under Securities Lending Agreements. The Company facilitates securities lending arrangements
whereby securities held by separate account assets maintained by BlackRocks life insurance company are lent to third parties. In exchange, the Company receives collateral with minimums generally ranging from approximately 102% to 112% of the
value of the securities lent in order to reduce counterparty risk. 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
consolidated statements of financial condition the collateral received under these arrangements (both cash and non-cash) as its own asset in addition to an equal and offsetting collateral liability for the obligation to return the collateral. At
December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of loaned securities held by separate account assets was approximately $21.0 billion and $19.5 billion, respectively, and the collateral held under these securities lending agreements was approximately
$23.0 billion and $20.9 billion, respectively. During 2012 and 2011, the Company had not sold or re-pledged any of the collateral received under these arrangements.
F-13
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Deferred Sales Commissions. The Company holds the rights to receive certain cash flows from sponsored
mutual funds sold without a front-end sales charge (back-end load shares). The carrying value of these deferred mutual fund commissions is being amortized over periods between one and six years. The Company receives distribution fees
from these funds and contingent deferred sales commissions (CDSCs) upon shareholder redemption of certain back-end load shares that are recorded within distribution fees on the consolidated statements of income. Upon receipt of CDSCs,
the Company records revenue and the remaining unamortized deferred sales commission is expensed.
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of
deferred commission assets to determine whether a significant decline in the equity or bond markets or other events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. If indicators of a potential impairment exist, the Company compares
the carrying value of the asset to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows related to the asset. If such assessments indicate that the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows will not be sufficient to recover the recorded carrying
value, the assets are adjusted to their estimated fair value. No such impairments were recorded for 2012, 2011 and 2010.
Property and
Equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally determined by cost less any estimated residual value using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
various classes of property and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term.
BlackRock develops a variety of risk management, investment analytic and investment system services for internal use, utilizing proprietary software that is hosted and maintained by BlackRock. In accordance with
ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software (ASC 350-40), the Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use. Capitalized software costs are included within property and
equipment on the consolidated statements of financial condition and are amortized, beginning when the software project is complete and put into production, over the estimated useful life of the software of approximately three years.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess cost of a business acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. In its
assessment of goodwill for impairment, the Company considers such factors as the
book value and market capitalization of the Company. On a quarterly basis, the Company considers if triggering events have occurred that may indicate a potential goodwill impairment. If a
triggering event has occurred, the Company performs assessments, which include reviews of all significant valuation assumptions, to determine if goodwill may be impaired. The Company performs an impairment assessment of its goodwill at least
annually, as of July 31st.
Intangible assets are comprised of indefinite-lived intangible assets and finite-lived intangible assets acquired in a
business combination. The value of contracts to manage assets in proprietary open-end funds, closed-end funds and collective trust funds and certain other commingled products without a specified termination date is generally classified as
indefinite-lived intangible assets. The assignment of indefinite lives to such contracts primarily is based upon the following: (i) the assumption that there is no foreseeable limit on the contract period to manage these products; (ii) the
Company expects to, and has the ability to, continue to operate these products indefinitely; (iii) the products have multiple investors and are not reliant on a single investor or small group of investors for their continued operation;
(iv) current competitive factors and economic conditions do not indicate a finite life; and (v) there is a high likelihood of continued renewal based on historical experience. In addition, trade names/trademarks are considered
indefinite-lived intangible assets when they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely.
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles
Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized. The value of contracts for separately managed accounts and certain funds, which have finite lives, are amortized over the expected lives
of the management contracts.
The Company performs assessments to determine if any intangible assets are potentially impaired and
whether the indefinite-life and finite-life classifications are still appropriate. The carrying value of finite-lived management contracts and their remaining useful lives are reviewed at least annually to determine if circumstances exist which may
indicate a potential impairment. The Company performs such impairment assessments of its intangible assets including indefinite-lived management contracts and trade names/trademarks, at least annually, as of July 31st. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of indefinite-lived intangibles is less than its carrying value, BlackRock assesses various significant
factors including assets under management (AUM), revenue basis points,
F-14
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
projected AUM growth rates, operating margins, tax rates and discount rates. In addition, the Company considers other factors including (i) macroeconomic conditions such as a deterioration
in general economic conditions, limitations on accessing capital, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, or other developments in equity and credit markets; (ii) industry and market considerations such as a deterioration in the environment in
which an entity operates, an increased competitive environment, a decline in market-dependent multiples or metrics, a change in the market for an entitys services, or regulatory, legal or political developments; and (iii) entity-specific
events, such as a change in management or key personnel, overall financial performance and litigation that could affect significant inputs.
If
potential impairment circumstances are considered to exist, the Company will perform an impairment test, using an undiscounted cash flow analysis. Actual results could differ from these cash flow estimates, which could materially impact the
impairment conclusion. If the asset is determined to be impaired, the difference between the book value of the asset and its current fair value would be recognized as an expense in the period in which the impairment occurs.
Non-controlling Interests. According to the requirements within ASC 810-10, the Company reports non-controlling interests as equity, separate from
the parents equity, on the consolidated statements of financial condition. In addition, the Companys consolidated net income on the consolidated statements of income includes the income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest
holders of the Companys consolidated sponsored investment funds and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). Income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests is not adjusted for income taxes for consolidated sponsored
investment funds and CLOs that are treated as pass-through entities for tax purposes.
Classification and Measurement of Redeemable
Securities. The Company includes redeemable non-controlling interests related to certain consolidated sponsored investment funds in temporary equity on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
Appropriated Retained Earnings. Upon adoption of ASU 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest
Entities (ASU 2009-17) on January 1, 2010, BlackRock consolidated three CLOs and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to appropriated retained earnings on the consolidated statement 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. Subsequent to adoption of ASU 2009-17, the net change in the fair value of the CLOs assets and liabilities has been recorded as
net income (loss) attributable to nonredeemable non-controlling interests and as an adjustment to appropriated retained earnings. In addition, in 2011, BlackRock consolidated additional CLOs, resulting in $19 million of additional appropriated
retained earnings upon the initial consolidation.
Treasury Stock. The Company records common stock purchased for treasury at cost. At the
date of subsequent reissuance, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such stock using the average cost method.
Revenue Recognition
Investment Advisory, Administration Fees and Securities Lending Revenue. Investment advisory and administration fees are recognized as
the services are performed. Such fees are primarily based on pre-determined percentages of the market value of AUM, committed capital, or, in the case of certain real estate clients, net operating income generated by the underlying properties.
Investment advisory and administration fees are affected by changes in AUM, including market appreciation or depreciation, foreign exchange translation and net subscriptions or redemptions. Investment advisory and administration fees for investment
funds are shown net of fees waived pursuant to contractual expense limitations of the funds or voluntary waivers.
The Company contracts with third
parties and related parties for various mutual fund distribution and shareholder servicing to be performed on behalf of certain funds the Company manages. Such arrangements generally are priced as a portion of the management fee paid by the fund. In
certain cases, the fund (primarily international funds) takes on the primary responsibility for payment for services such that the Company bears no credit risk to the third party. The Company accounts for such retrocession arrangements in accordance
with ASC 605-45, Revenue Recognition Principal Agent Considerations, and has recorded its management fees net of retrocessions. Retrocessions for 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $793 million, $928 million and $831 million, respectively, and
were reflected net in investment advisory, administration fees and securities lending revenue on the consolidated statements of income.
F-15
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company also earns revenue by lending securities as an agent on behalf of clients, primarily to brokerage
institutions. Such revenues are accounted for on an accrual basis. The revenue earned is shared between the Company and the funds or other third-party accounts managed by the Company from which the securities are borrowed.
Investment Advisory Performance Fees. The Company receives investment advisory performance fees or an incentive allocation from certain actively managed
investment funds and certain separately managed accounts. These performance fees are earned upon exceeding specified relative and/or absolute investment return thresholds. Such fees are recorded upon completion of the measurement period which varies
by product or account.
The Company may receive carried interest from certain alternative investments upon exceeding performance thresholds. BlackRock
may be required to return all, or part, of such carried interest depending upon future performance of these investments. BlackRock records carried interest subject to such claw-back provisions in investments, or cash on the consolidated statements
of financial condition to the extent that it is distributed. Carried interest is realized and recorded as performance fee revenue upon the earlier of the termination of the investment fund or when the likelihood of claw-back is mathematically
improbable. The Company records a deferred carried interest liability to the extent it receives cash or capital allocations related to carried interest prior to meeting the revenue recognition criteria. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the
Company had $97 million and $33 million, respectively, of deferred carried interest recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
BlackRock Solutions and Advisory. BlackRock provides a variety of risk management, investment analytic, enterprise investment system and financial markets advisory services to financial institutions, pension
funds, asset managers, foundations, consultants, mutual fund sponsors, real estate investment trusts and government agencies. These services are provided under the brand name BlackRock Solutions® and include a wide array of risk management services, valuation of illiquid securities, disposition and workout assignments (including long-term portfolio liquidation
assignments), strategic planning and execution, and enterprise investment system outsourcing to clients. Fees earned for BlackRock Solutions and advisory services are recorded as services are performed and are determined using some, or all,
of the following methods: (i) percentages of various attributes of advisory AUM or value of positions on the Aladdin® platform,
(ii) fixed fees and (iii) performance fees if contractual thresholds are met. The fees earned for BlackRock Solutions and advisory services are recorded in BlackRock
Solutions and advisory on the consolidated statements of income.
Other Revenue. The Company earns fees for transition management services
comprised of commissions from acting as an introducing broker-dealer in buying and selling securities on behalf of the Companys customers. Commissions related to transition management services are recorded on a trade-date basis as securities
transactions occur and are reflected in other revenue on the consolidated statements of income.
The Company earns commissions revenue upon the sale of
unit trusts and Class A mutual funds. Revenue is recorded at the time of the sale of the product.
Other revenue also includes
equity method investment earnings related to operating advisory company investments and marketing fees earned for services to distribute iPath® products, which are
exchange-traded notes issued by Barclays.
Stock-based Compensation. The Company applies ASC 718-10, Compensation Stock
Compensation (ASC 718-10), which establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. Entities are required to measure the cost of employee
services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The compensation cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service (usually the vesting
period) in exchange for the stock-based award.
The Company measures the grant-date fair value of restricted stock units (RSUs) using the
Companys share price on the date of grant. For employee share options and instruments with market conditions, the Company uses pricing models. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost is recognized for
an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. Awards under the Companys stock-based compensation plans vest over various periods.
Compensation cost is recorded by the Company on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separate vesting portion of the award as if the award is, in-substance, multiple awards. Compensation cost is reduced by the number of
awards expected to be forfeited prior to vesting. Forfeiture estimates generally are derived using historical forfeiture information, where available, and are reviewed for reasonableness at least quarterly.
F-16
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company amortizes the grant-date fair value of stock-based compensation awards made to retirement-eligible
employees over the requisite service period. Upon notification of retirement, the Company accelerates the unamortized portion of the award over the contractually required retirement notification period, if applicable.
Distribution and Servicing Costs. Distribution and servicing costs include payments to third parties and related parties, including Bank of
America/Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (Merrill Lynch), PNC and Barclays, primarily associated with distribution and servicing of client investments in certain BlackRock products. Distribution and servicing costs are expensed when
incurred.
Direct Fund Expenses. Direct fund expenses, which are expensed as incurred, primarily consist of third-party non-advisory
expenses incurred by BlackRock related to certain funds for the use of certain index trademarks, reference data for certain indices, custodial services, fund administration, fund accounting, transfer agent services, shareholder reporting services,
audit and tax services as well as other fund-related expenses directly attributable to the non-advisory operations of the fund.
Leases.
The Company accounts for its operating leases, which may include escalation clauses, in accordance with ASC 840-10, Leases. The Company expenses the lease payments associated with operating leases evenly during the lease term (including
rent-free periods) commencing when the Company obtains control over the leased property.
Foreign Exchange. Monetary assets and
liabilities of foreign subsidiaries having non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated at exchange rates at the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition. Non-monetary assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries having
non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements into
U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders equity, on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included
in general and administration expense on the consolidated statements of income. For 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions of $(8) million, $(1) million and $6 million, respectively.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC
740-10, Income Taxes (ASC 740-10). Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on
deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Management periodically assesses the
recoverability of its deferred income tax assets based upon expected future earnings, taxable income in prior carryback years, future deductibility of the asset, changes in applicable tax laws and other factors. If management determines that it is
not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully recoverable in the future, a valuation allowance will be established for the difference between the asset balance and the amount expected to be recoverable in the future. This
allowance will result in additional income tax expense. Further, the Company records its income taxes receivable and payable based upon its estimated income tax position.
Excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation are recognized as additional paid-in capital and are reflected as financing cash flows on the consolidated statements of cash flows. If the Company does not
have additional paid-in capital credits (cumulative tax benefits recorded to additional paid-in capital), the Company will record an expense for any deficit, or shortfall, between the recorded tax benefit and tax return benefit. At December 31,
2012 and 2011, BlackRock had excess additional paid-in capital credits to absorb potential future deficits between recorded tax benefits and tax return benefits.
Earnings per Share (EPS). EPS is calculated pursuant to the two-class method as defined in ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share (ASC 260-10), which specifies that all
outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities and should be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The
dilutive effect of outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that are considered non-participating securities are calculated under the treasury stock method.
The Company presents both basic and diluted EPS amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to shareholders, excluding participating securities, by the
F-17
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
weighted-average number of shares outstanding. The Companys participating securities consist of its unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends or
dividend equivalents. Diluted EPS includes the determinants of basic EPS and, in addition, reflects the impact of other potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of participating securities is calculated under
the more dilutive of either the treasury stock method or the two-class method. As of December 31, 2012, there were approximately 0.2 million of participating securities. The majority of these participating securities vested on
January 31, 2013.
Due to the similarities in terms among each series of BlackRocks non-voting participating preferred stock and the
Companys common stock, the Company considers each series of its non-voting participating preferred stock to be common stock equivalents for purposes of EPS calculations.
Business Segments. The Companys management directs BlackRocks operations as one business, the asset management business. As such, the Company operates in one business segment as defined in
ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting (ASC 280-10).
Business Combinations. The Company accounts for business
combinations in accordance with the requirements of ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). The fundamental requirement of ASC 805 is that the acquisition method of accounting (the purchase method) be used for all business
combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. The provisions of ASC 805 define the acquirer, establish the acquisition date and define transactions that qualify as business combinations.
Additionally, the requirements of ASC 805 provide guidance for measuring the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in
the acquiree, provide guidance for the measurement of fair value in a step acquisition, provide guidance for recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed subject to contingencies, provide guidance on recognition and measurement of contingent
consideration and require that acquisition-related costs of the acquirer generally be expensed as incurred. Reversal of valuation allowances related to acquired deferred tax assets and changes to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits related to
tax positions assumed in business combinations subsequent to the adoption of the requirements of ASC 805, will affect the income tax provision in the period of reversal or change.
Fair Value Measurements.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs. The provisions of 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
|
F-18
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Level 3 liabilities include borrowings of consolidated 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 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, including independent appraisals, from third-party sources. 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 methodology, including the general assumptions and methods used to value various asset classes, and operational process 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 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, must be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable once elected. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to ASC
825-10 are required to be reported
F-19
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 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 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 current 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 consolidated statements of income.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2012
Amendments to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted the applicable provisions of ASU 2011-04, Fair
Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). Among other things, ASU 2011-04 clarified existing fair value measurement guidance and required
enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not materially impact the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments on Testing Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. On July 27, 2012, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02), which amends the guidance in ASC 350-30 on testing indefinite-lived intangible
assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under ASU 2012-02, an entity testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment has the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If the entity
determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is not more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) impaired, the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of
the asset. The Companys adoption of ASU 2012-02 during 2012 did not impact its consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
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. The provisions of ASU 2011-11 are effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2013 with retrospective application required. 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

Consolidated sponsored investment funds include third-party private equity funds, direct investments in private companies and
third-party hedge funds held by BlackRock sponsored investment funds.
Equity method investments primarily include BlackRocks direct investment in
certain BlackRock sponsored investment funds.
Cost method investments include non-marketable securities, including Federal Reserve Bank
(FRB) stock, which is held for regulatory purposes and is restricted from sale. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no indicators of impairment on these investments. The decrease in cost method investments from
December 31, 2011 was primarily due to a lower holding requirement of FRB stock held by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Carried interest
represents allocations to BlackRock general partner capital accounts for certain funds. These balances are subject to change upon cash distributions, additional allocations, or reallocations back to limited partners within the respective funds.

4. Consolidated Sponsored Investment Funds
The Company consolidates certain sponsored investment funds primarily because it is deemed to control such funds in accordance with GAAP. The
investments owned by these consolidated sponsored investment funds are classified as trading or other investments. The following table presents the balances related to these consolidated funds that were included on the consolidated statements of
financial condition as well as BlackRocks net interest in these funds:

BlackRocks total exposure to consolidated sponsored investment funds of $430 million and $475 million at
December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 non-controlling interests for the portion not attributable to BlackRock.
In addition, at December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 consolidated statements of financial condition. See Note 6, Variable Interest Entities, for further discussion on these consolidated funds.
The Company may not be readily able to access cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated sponsored investment funds to use in its operating activities. In
addition, the Company may not be readily able to sell investments held by consolidated sponsored investment funds in order to obtain cash for use in the Companys operations.

5. Fair Value Disclosures (continued)
Level 3 Assets. Level 3 assets recorded within investments of $679 million at December 31, 2012 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 $56 million at December 31, 2012. 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 are 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 cash flows to a single present amount using current market 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.
Level 3 assets recorded within separate account assets include single-broker non-binding quotes for fixed income securities and equity securities that
have unobservable inputs due to certain corporate actions.
Level 3 assets of consolidated VIEs include bank loans and bonds valued based on
single-broker non-binding quotes and direct private equity investments and private equity funds valued based upon valuations received from internal as well as third-party fund managers, which may be adjusted by using the returns of certain market
indices.
Level 3 Liabilities. Level 3 liabilities recorded as borrowings of consolidated VIEs include CLO borrowings valued based upon
single-broker non-binding quotes.

Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) for Level 3 Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains
(losses) recorded for Level 3 assets and liabilities are reported in non-operating income (expense) on the consolidated statements of income. A portion of net income (loss) for consolidated investments and all of the net income (loss) for
consolidated VIEs are allocated to non-controlling 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 fair value methodologies.
Separate Account Assets. In 2012, there were $48 million of transfers of equity securities
from Level 1 into Level 3. These transfers into Level 3 were primarily due to market inputs no longer being considered observable.
In 2012, there were
$9 million of transfers out of Level 3 to Level 1 related to equity securities held within separate accounts. The transfers out of Level 3 were due to availability of observable market inputs.
In 2011, there were $87 million of transfers out of Level 3 to Level 2 related to debt securities held within separate account assets. In addition, there were $9
million of transfers out of Level 3 to Level 1 related to equity securities. The transfers in and out of levels were primarily due to availability/ unavailability of market inputs, including inputs from pricing vendors and brokers.
In 2011, there were $38 million of transfers of equity securities into Level 3 from Level 1. The transfers into Level
3 were primarily due to market inputs no longer being considered observable.
Assets of Consolidated VIEs. In 2012, there were $113
million of transfers out of Level 3 to Level 2 related to bank loans. In addition, in 2012, there were $101 million of transfers into Level 3 from Level 2 related to bank loans. The transfers in and out of levels were primarily due to availability/
unavailability of observable market inputs, including inputs from pricing vendors and brokers.
In 2011, there were $51 million of transfers out of
Level 3 to Level 2 related to loans. In addition, in 2011, there were $85 million and $39 million of transfers into Level 3 from Level 2 related to loans and bonds, respectively. The transfers in and out of levels were primarily due to availability/
unavailability of observable market inputs, including inputs from pricing vendors and brokers.
Significant Other Settlements. For 2012 and 2011,
there were $89 million and $38 million of distributions from equity method investees categorized in Level 3, respectively.
During 2012, other
settlements included $1,011 million of proceeds from borrowings of consolidated CLOs.
During 2011, other settlements included $412 million of
borrowings of consolidated VIEs related to the consolidation of one additional CLO.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at either cost or amortized cost that approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. At December 31, 2012
and December 31, 2011, approximately $133 million and $196 million, respectively, related to cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated sponsored investment funds. Money market funds are valued through the use of quoted market prices, or
$1.00, which generally is the NAV of the fund. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately $98 million and $123 million, respectively, of money market funds were recorded within cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated
statements of financial condition. |

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and short-term borrowings
approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. |
(3) |
Long-term borrowings are recorded at amortized cost. The fair value of the long-term borrowings, including the current portion of long-term borrowings, is
estimated using market prices at the end of December 2012 and December 2011, respectively. See Note 11, Borrowings, for the fair value of the Companys long-term borrowings. |
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 table lists 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).

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 can be redeemed at any time, as long as there are no restrictions in place by the underlying master funds.

5. Fair Value Disclosures (continued)
(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 and eight years at December 31, 2012 and
December 31, 2011, respectively. The total remaining unfunded commitments to other third-party funds were $32 million and $44 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company was contractually obligated to
fund $30 million and $33 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 to the consolidated funds, while the remaining unfunded balances in the tables above are required to be funded by capital contributions from non-controlling
interest holders. |
(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. The majority of the underlying funds can be redeemed as long as there are no restrictions in place. At 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 in this category 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 five and six years at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 and six years at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. |
(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. The majority of the Companys investments are not subject to redemption or is 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 was estimated that the investments in these funds not subject to redemptions will be liquidated over a weighted-average period of approximately eight and seven years at
December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. |
(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 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 three and four years at
December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Total remaining unfunded commitments to other third-party funds were $1 million and $2 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which commitments are
required to be funded by capital contributions from non-controlling interest holders. |
F-33
5. Fair Value Disclosures (continued)
Fair Value Option. Upon initial consolidation of CLOs, the Company elects 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 non-controlling interests on the consolidated statements of income and
offset by a change in appropriated retained earnings on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
The following table summarizes information
related to those assets and liabilities selected for fair value accounting as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

At December 31, 2012, the principal amounts outstanding of the borrowings issued by the CLOs mature between 2016 and 2025.
During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the change in fair value of the bank loans and bonds held by the CLOs resulted in a $154
million gain, a $57 million gain and a $148 million gain, respectively, which were offset by a $166 million loss, a $68 million loss and a $175 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 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 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.
In order to determine
whether the Company is the PB of a VIE, management must make significant estimates and assumptions of projected 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. See Note 2 for more information.
F-34
6. Variable Interest Entities (continued)
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, which 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 December 31, 2012 and 2011, the following balances related to VIEs were consolidated on the consolidated statements of financial condition:

at December 31, 2012 and $1.2 trillion to $1.3 trillion at December 31, 2011. Net assets included $1.3 trillion and $1.0 trillion of collective trusts at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. 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 is at a fixed rate of 1.03% payable semi-annually on May 24 and November 24 of each year and commenced November 24, 2011. See Note 11,
Borrowings, for more information. The fair value of the interest rate swap as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was not material.
The Company
maintains a program to enter into total return swaps to hedge against market price exposures with respect to certain seed investments in sponsored investment products. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had 21 and six outstanding total
return swaps, respectively, with an aggregate notional value of approximately $206 million and $43 million, respectively. The fair value of the outstanding total return swaps as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 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 December 31,
2012, the Company had outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts
F-36
7. Derivatives and Hedging (continued)
with an aggregate notional value of approximately $79 million. The fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts as of December 31, 2012 was not material. At
December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
The Company entered into a credit default
swap, providing credit protection to the 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.
On behalf of clients of the Companys registered life insurance company, which maintains separate accounts
representing segregated funds held for the purpose of funding individual and group pension contracts, the Company invests in various derivative instruments, which may include futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps
and inflation rate swaps. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to derivatives held by separate account assets accrue directly to the contract owners and are not reported in the consolidated statements of income.
The following table presents the carrying value
as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments:

million, $4 million and $(2) million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Gains (losses) on the interest rate swap entered into in 2011 were not
material for 2012 and 2011. Gains (losses) on the forward foreign currency exchange contracts were not material for 2012 and 2011, and were $5 million for 2010. Gains (losses) on the credit default swap were not material for 2012, 2011 and 2010.
The Company consolidates certain sponsored investment funds, which may utilize derivative instruments as a part of
the funds investment strategy. The fair value of such derivatives at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was not material. The change in fair value of such derivatives, which is recorded in non-operating income (expense), was not material for
2012, 2011 and 2010.

Investments, Inc. (the Claymore Transaction) on March 7, 2012 for approximately $212 million. |
(2) |
Amount represents goodwill resulting from the Companys acquisition of the European private equity and infrastructure funds of funds of Swiss Re Private
Equity Partners (the SRPEP Transaction) on September 4, 2012. |
(3) |
The decrease in goodwill during 2012 and 2011 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 (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 $324 million and $355 million as of December 31, 2012 and
2011, respectively. In 2012, the decrease in Quellos goodwill was partially offset by a $10 million increase related to the release of the remaining common shares held in escrow in connection with the Quellos Transaction.
|
The impairment tests performed for goodwill as of July 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 indicated that no impairment
charges were required. The Company continuously monitors its book value per share as compared with
closing prices of its common stock for potential indicators of impairment. As of December 31, 2012 the Companys common stock closed at $206.71, which exceeded its book value per share
of approximately $148.20 after excluding appropriated retained earnings.

11. Borrowings
Short-Term Borrowings
The carrying
value of short-term borrowings at December 31, 2012 and 2011, included $100 million under the 2012 revolving credit facility and $100 million under the 2011 revolving credit facility, respectively.
2012 Revolving Credit Facility. In March 2011, the Company entered into a five-year $3.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the 2011 credit
facility). In March 2012, the 2011 credit facility was amended to extend the maturity date by one year to March 2017 and in April 2012 the amount of the aggregate commitment was increased to $3.785 billion (the 2012 credit
facility). The 2012 credit facility permits the Company to request an additional $1.0 billion of borrowing capacity, subject to lender credit approval, increasing the overall size of the 2012 credit facility to an aggregate principal amount
not to exceed $4.785 billion. Interest on borrowings outstanding accrues at a rate based on the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread. The 2012 credit facility requires the Company not to exceed a maximum leverage ratio (ratio of
net debt to EBITDA, 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 December 31, 2012.
The 2012 credit facility provides back-up liquidity, funds ongoing working capital for general corporate purposes and
funds various investment opportunities. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $100 million outstanding under this facility with an interest rate of 1.085% and a maturity during January 2013. During January 2013, the Company rolled over the $100
million in borrowings at an interest rate of 1.085% and a maturity during February 2013. During February 2013, the Company rolled over the $100 million in borrowings at an interest rate of 1.075% and a maturity during March 2013.
Commercial Paper Program. On October 14, 2009, BlackRock established a commercial paper program (the CP Program) under 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 $3.0 billion. On May 13, 2011, BlackRock increased the maximum aggregate amount
that may be borrowed under the CP Program to $3.5 billion. On May 17, 2012, BlackRock increased the maximum aggregate amount to $3.785 billion. The CP Program is currently supported by the 2012 credit facility. As of December 31, 2012 and
December 31, 2011, BlackRock had no CP Notes outstanding.

11. Borrowings (continued)
Long-term borrowings at December 31, 2011 had a carrying value of $4,690 million and a fair value of $5,057
million. During 2012, $500 million of 2.25% Notes were repaid.
2015 and 2022 Notes. In May 2012, the Company issued $1.5 billion in aggregate
principal amount of unsecured unsubordinated obligations. These notes were issued as two separate series of senior debt securities including $750 million of 1.375% notes maturing in June 2015 (the 2015 Notes) and $750 million of 3.375%
notes maturing in June 2022 (the 2022 Notes). Net proceeds were used to fund the repurchase of BlackRocks common stock and Series B Preferred from Barclays and affiliates and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 2015
Notes and the 2022 Notes of approximately $10 million and $25 million per year, respectively, is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, which commenced December 1, 2012. The 2015 Notes and 2022 Notes may be
redeemed prior to maturity at any time in whole or in part at the option of the Company at a make-whole redemption price. The make-whole redemption price represents a price, subject to the specific terms of the 2015 and 2022
Notes and related indenture, that is the greater of (a) par value and (b) the present value of future payments that will not be paid because of an early redemption, which is discounted at a fixed spread over a comparable Treasury security.
The 2015 Notes and 2022 Notes were issued at a discount of $5 million that is being amortized over the term of the notes. The Company incurred approximately $7 million of debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the respective terms of
the 2015 Notes and 2022 Notes. As of December 31, 2012, $6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were included in other assets on the consolidated statement of financial condition.
2013 and 2021 Notes. In May 2011, the Company issued $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of unsecured unsubordinated obligations. These notes were issued as two separate series of senior debt
securities including $750 million of 4.25% notes and $750 million of floating rate notes maturing in May 2021 and 2013, respectively. Net proceeds of this offering were used to fund the repurchase of BlackRocks Series B Preferred from
affiliates of Merrill Lynch. Interest on the 4.25% notes due in 2021 (2021 Notes) is payable semi-annually on May 24 and November 24 of each year, which commenced November 24, 2011, and is approximately $32 million per
year. Interest on the floating rate notes due in 2013 (2013 Floating Rate Notes) is payable quarterly on February 24, May 24, August 24 and November 24 of each year. The 2021 Notes may be redeemed prior to
maturity at any time in whole or in part at the option of the Company
at a make-whole redemption price. The 2013 Floating Rate Notes may not be redeemed at the Companys option before maturity. The 2021 Notes were issued at a discount of $4 million
that is being amortized over the term of the notes. The Company incurred approximately $7 million of debt issuance costs for the $1.5 billion note issuances, which are being amortized over the respective terms of the notes. As of December 31,
2012, $4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were included in other assets on the consolidated statement of financial condition.
In May 2011, in
conjunction with the issuance of the 2013 Floating Rate Notes, the Company entered into a $750 million notional interest rate swap maturing in 2013 to hedge the future cash flows of its obligation at a fixed rate of 1.03% payable semi-annually on
May 24 and November 24 of each year, which commenced on November 24, 2011. The interest rate swap effectively converts the 2013 Floating Rate Notes to a fixed rate obligation.
2017 Notes. In September 2007, the Company issued $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior unsecured and unsubordinated notes maturing on September 15, 2017 (the 2017
Notes). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or approximately $44 million per year. The 2017 Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity at any time in whole or in part at the option of
the Company at a make-whole redemption price. The 2017 Notes were issued at a discount of $6 million, which is being amortized over their ten-year term. The Company incurred approximately $4 million of debt issuance costs, which are
being amortized over ten years. As of December 31, 2012, $2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were included in other assets on the consolidated statement of financial condition.
2012, 2014 and 2019 Notes. In December 2009, the Company issued $2.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. These notes were issued as three separate series of
senior debt securities including $0.5 billion of 2.25% notes, which were repaid in December 2012, and $1.0 billion of 3.50% notes and $1.0 billion of 5.0% notes maturing in December 2014 and 2019, respectively. Net proceeds of this offering were
used to repay borrowings under the CP Program, which was used to finance a portion of the acquisition of Barclays Global Investors (BGI) from Barclays on December 1, 2009 (the BGI Transaction), and for general corporate
purposes. In 2012, approximately $96 million of interest was paid. Interest on the 2014 Notes and 2019 Notes of approximately $35 million and $50 million per
F-41
11. Borrowings (continued)
year, respectively, is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 10 and December 10 of each year. These notes may be redeemed prior to maturity at any time in whole or in part at the
option of the Company at a make-whole redemption price. These notes were issued collectively at a discount of $5 million, which is being amortized over the respective terms of the notes. The Company incurred approximately $13 million of
debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the respective terms of these notes. As of December 31, 2012, $6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were included in other assets on the consolidated statement of financial condition.

Rent expense and certain office equipment expense under agreements amounted to $133 million, $154 million and $158 million in 2012,
2011 and 2010, respectively.
Investment Commitments. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $235 million of various capital
commitments to fund sponsored investment funds, including funds of private equity funds, real estate funds and distressed credit funds. This amount excludes additional commitments made by consolidated funds of funds to underlying third-party funds
as third-party non-controlling interest holders have the legal obligation to fund the respective commitments of such funds of funds. Generally, the timing of the funding of these commitments is unknown and the commitments are callable on demand at
any time prior to the expiration of the commitment. These unfunded commitments are not recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition. These commitments do not include potential future commitments approved by the Company, but which
are not yet legally binding. The Company intends to make additional capital commitments from time to time to fund additional investment products for, and with, its clients.
Contingencies
Contingent Payments. The Company acts as the portfolio manager in a series of credit default swap transactions and has a maximum potential exposure of $17 million under a credit default swap between the
Company and counterparty. See Note 7, Derivatives and Hedging, for further discussion of this transaction and the related commitment.
Legal
Proceedings. From time to time, BlackRock receives subpoenas or other requests for information from various U.S. federal, state governmental and domestic and international regulatory authorities in connection with certain industry-wide or other
investigations or proceedings. It is BlackRocks policy to cooperate fully with such inquiries. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various legal actions, including arbitrations and other litigation
arising in connection with BlackRocks activities. Additionally, certain of the investment funds that the Company manages are subject to lawsuits, any of which potentially could harm the investment returns of the applicable fund or result in
the Company being liable to the funds for any resulting damages.
Management, after consultation with legal counsel, currently does not anticipate that
the aggregate liability, if any, arising out of regulatory matters or lawsuits will have a material effect on BlackRocks results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, there is no assurance as to whether any such pending or
threatened matters will have a material effect on BlackRocks results of operations, financial position or cash flows in any future reporting period. Due to uncertainties surrounding the outcome of these matters, management cannot
reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may arise from these matters.
Indemnifications. In the ordinary course of
business, BlackRock enters into contracts pursuant to which it may agree to indemnify third parties in certain circumstances. The terms of these indemnities vary from contract to contract and the amount of indemnification liability, if any, cannot
be determined.
In connection with securities lending transactions, BlackRock has issued certain indemnifications to certain securities lending clients
against potential loss resulting from a borrowers failure to fulfill its obligations under the securities lending agreement should the value of the collateral pledged by the borrower at the time of default be insufficient to cover the
borrowers obligation under the securities lending agreement. As part of the BGI
F-42
12. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
acquisition, Barclays was contractually obligated to continue providing counterparty default indemnification to several BlackRock securities lending clients through December 1, 2012.
BlackRock assumed these indemnification obligations prior to or upon the expiration of Barclays indemnification obligation. As of December 31, 2012, the Company indemnified certain of its clients for loan balances of approximately
$99.5 billion. The fair value of these indemnifications was not material to the consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 2012. The Company expects indemnified balances to continue to increase over time.
Under the transaction agreement in the BGI Transaction, the Company agreed to indemnify Barclays for losses it may incur arising from (1) breach by the
Company of certain representations, (2) breach by the Company of any covenant in the agreement, (3) liabilities of the entities acquired in the transaction other than liabilities assumed by Barclays or for which it is providing
indemnification, and (4) certain taxes.
Management believes that the likelihood of any liability arising under the BGI Transaction indemnification
provisions is remote. Management cannot estimate any potential maximum exposure due both to the remoteness of any potential claims and the fact that items that would be included within any such calculated claim would be beyond
the control of BlackRock. Consequently, no liability has been recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Stock Award and Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the BlackRock, Inc. 1999 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the Award
Plan), options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price not less than the market value of BlackRocks common stock on
the date of grant in the form of stock options, restricted stock or RSUs may be granted to employees and non-employee directors. A maximum of 27,000,000 shares of common stock were authorized for
issuance under the Award Plan. Of this amount, 5,447,427 shares remain available for future awards at December 31, 2012. Upon exercise of employee stock options, the issuance of restricted stock or the vesting of RSUs, the Company issues shares
out of treasury to the extent available.
Restricted Stock and RSUs. Pursuant to the Award Plan, restricted stock grants and RSUs may be
granted to certain employees. Substantially all restricted stock and RSUs vest over periods ranging from one to five years and are expensed using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the
award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards. Prior to 2009, the Company awarded restricted stock and RSUs with nonforfeitable dividend equivalent rights. Restricted stock and RSUs awarded beginning in 2009 are not considered
participating securities for purposes of calculating EPS as the dividend equivalents are subject to forfeiture prior to vesting of the award.

13. Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
The awards granted under the Award Plan primarily related to the following:
2010
|
|
|
846,884 RSUs to employees as part of annual incentive compensation that vest ratably over three years from the date of grant; |
|
|
|
455,288 RSUs to employees that cliff vested on January 31, 2012, the end of the service condition, as BlackRock had actual GAAP EPS in excess of $6.13 in
2010. The RSUs may not be sold before the one-year anniversary of the vesting date; |
|
|
|
1,497,222 RSUs to employees that vest 50% on both January 31, 2013 and 2014, the end of the service condition, as BlackRock had actual GAAP EPS in excess of
$6.13 in 2010; and |
|
|
|
124,575 shares of restricted common stock to employees that vested in tranches on January 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The restricted common stock may not be
sold before the one-year anniversary of each vesting date. |
2011
|
|
|
1,594,259 RSUs to employees as part of annual incentive compensation that vest ratably over three years from the date of grant; and |
|
|
|
609,733 RSUs to employees that cliff vest 100% on January 31, 2014. |
2012
|
|
|
1,365,691 RSUs to employees as part of annual incentive compensation that vest ratably over three years from the date of grant; and |
|
|
|
418,038 RSUs to employees that cliff vest 100% on January 31, 2015. |
At December 31, 2012, there was $291 million in total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining
weighted-average period of 0.9 years.
2013
In January 2013, the Company granted the following awards under the Award Plan:
|
|
|
1,172,381 RSUs to employees as part of annual incentive compensation that vest ratably over three years from the date of grant; and |
|
|
|
370,812 RSUs to employees that cliff vest 100% on January 31, 2016.
|
Market Performance-based RSUs. Pursuant to the Award Plan, market performance-based RSUs may be granted
to certain employees. The market performance-based RSUs require that separate 15%, 25% and 35% share price appreciation targets be achieved during the six-year term of the awards. The awards are split into three tranches and each tranche may vest if
the specified target increase in share price is met. Eligible delivery dates for each tranche are the fourth, fifth or sixth anniversaries of the grant date and the awards are generally forfeited if the employee leaves BlackRock before the vesting
date. These awards are amortized over a service period of four years, which is the longer of the explicit service period or the period in which the market target is expected to be met. Market performance-based RSUs are not considered participating
securities as the dividend equivalents are subject to forfeiture prior to vesting of the award. In 2012, the Company granted 616,117 market performance-based RSUs, which will primarily be funded by shares currently held by PNC (see Long-Term
Incentive Plans Funded by PNC below).

At December 31, 2012, approximately 0.56 million awards are expected to vest and no awards have vested and converted. |
At December 31, 2012, there was $51 million in total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested market performance-based awards. The
unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 3.1 years.
The fair value of the
market-performance-based awards at the grant date was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation and the following assumptions:

13. Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
The Companys expected stock volatility assumption was based upon an average of the historical stock price
fluctuations of BlackRocks common stock and an implied volatility at the grant date. The dividend yield assumption was derived using estimated dividends over the expected term and the stock price at the date of grant. The risk-free interest
rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield at date of grant.
In January 2013, the Company granted 556,581 market performance-based RSUs under the Award
Plan, which will primarily be funded by shares currently held by PNC (see Long-Term Incentive Plans Funded by PNC below).
Long-Term
Incentive Plans Funded by PNC. Under a share surrender agreement, PNC committed to provide up to 4 million shares of BlackRock stock, held by PNC, to fund certain BlackRock long-term incentive plans (LTIP). The current share
surrender agreement commits PNC to provide BlackRock series C non-voting participating preferred stock to fund the remaining committed shares. During 2007 through 2011, approximately 2.5 million shares were surrendered by PNC.
At December 31, 2012, the remaining shares committed by PNC of approximately 1.5 million were available to fund future long-term incentive awards,
including approximately 1.2 million RSUs with market conditions granted in January 2012 and January 2013.
In January 2013, approximately
0.2 million shares, which were committed as of December 31, 2012, vested and were funded by PNC.
Stock Options. Stock option
grants were made to certain employees pursuant to the Award Plan in 1999 through 2007. Options granted have a ten-year life, vested ratably over periods ranging from two to five years and became exercisable upon vesting. The Company has not granted
any stock options subsequent to the January 2007 grant, which vested on September 29, 2011. Stock option activity for 2012 is summarized below:

shares under the ESPP.
14. Employee Benefit Plans
Deferred Compensation Plans
Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company adopted a Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan (VDCP) that allows participants to elect to
defer between 1% and 100% of their annual cash incentive compensation. The participants must specify a deferral period of one, three, five or ten years. The Company funds the obligation through the establishment of a rabbi trust on behalf of the
plans participants.
Rabbi Trust. The rabbi trust established for the VDCP, with assets totaling $59 million as of both December 31,
2012 and 2011, is reflected in investments on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Such investments are classified as trading and other investments. The corresponding liability balance of $60 million and $59 million as of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, is reflected on the consolidated statements of financial condition as accrued compensation and benefits. Earnings in the rabbi trust, including unrealized appreciation or depreciation, are reflected as
non-operating income (expense) and changes in the corresponding liability are reflected as employee compensation and benefits expense on the consolidated statements of income.
Other Deferred Compensation Plans. The Company has additional compensation plans for the purpose of
F-45
14. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
providing deferred compensation and retention incentives to certain employees. For these plans, the final value of the deferred amount to be distributed in cash upon vesting is associated with
investment returns of certain investment funds. The liabilities for these plans were $77 million and $34 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition as accrued
compensation and benefits. In January 2013, the Company granted approximately $66 million of additional deferred compensation that will fluctuate with investment returns and will vest ratably over three years from the date of grant.
Defined Contribution Plans
BlackRock Retirement
Savings Plan. Certain of the Companys employees participate in the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (BRSP). Two predecessor plans assumed in connection with the BGI Transaction were merged with the BRSP on January 1,
2011.
Employee contributions of up to 8% of eligible compensation, as defined by the plan and subject to Internal Revenue Code (IRC)
limitations, are matched by the Company at 50%. In addition, the Company will continue to make an annual retirement contribution to eligible participants equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation.
Prior to January 1, 2011, employee contributions of up to 6% of eligible compensation, as defined by the plan and subject to IRC limitations, were matched by
the Company at 50%. As part of the BRSP, the Company also made an annual retirement contribution on behalf of each eligible participant equal to no less than 3% of eligible compensation, plus an additional amount, determined at the discretion of the
Company, not to exceed 2% of eligible compensation for a total contribution of no more than 5% of eligible compensation. Contributions to the BRSP are made in cash and no new investments in BlackRock stock or matching contributions of stock are
available in the BRSP.
In 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Companys expense related to the BRSP was $59 million, $43 million and $35 million,
respectively. In addition, the Companys expense related to the two predecessor plans was $25 million in 2010.
BlackRock Group Personal Pension Plan. BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited (BIM), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, contributes to the BlackRock Group Personal Pension Plan, a defined contribution plan for all employees of BIM. BIM contributes between 6% and 15% of each employees eligible compensation. The expense for
this plan was $27 million, $26 million and $22 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Defined Benefit Plans. The Company has
several defined benefit pension plans in Japan and Germany. All accrued benefits under these defined benefit plans are currently frozen and the plans are closed to new participants. The participant benefits under the plans will not change with
salary increases or additional years of service.
In conjunction with the BGI Transaction, the Company assumed defined benefit pension plans in Japan
and Germany, which are closed to new participants. During 2010, these plans merged into the legacy BlackRock plans in Japan (the Japan Plan) and Germany. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the plan assets for these plans were
approximately $21 million for both periods and the unfunded obligations were less than $3 million for both periods, which were recorded in accrued compensation and benefits on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Benefit payments for
the next five years and in aggregate for the five years thereafter are not expected to be material.
Defined benefit plan assets for the Japan Plan of
approximately $18 million are invested using a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equity securities, debt securities and other investments are used to preserve asset values, diversify risk and achieve the target investment return
benchmark. Investment strategies and asset allocations are based on consideration of plan liabilities and the funded status of the plan. Investment performance and asset allocation are measured and monitored on an ongoing basis. The current target
allocations for the plan assets are 45-50% for U.S. and international equity securities, 50-55% for U.S. and international fixed income securities and 0-5% for cash and cash equivalents.

Certain Agreements and Arrangements with Barclays
In connection with the completion of its acquisition of BGI, BlackRock entered into a Stockholder Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009 (the Barclays
Stockholder Agreement), with Barclays and Barclays BR Holdings S.à.r.l. (BR Holdings, and together with Barclays, the Barclays Parties). Pursuant to the terms of the Barclays Stockholder Agreement, the
Barclays Parties agreed, among other things, to certain transfer and voting restrictions with respect to shares of BlackRock common stock and preferred stock owned by them and their affiliates, to limits on the ability of the Barclays Parties
F-48
15. Related Party Transactions (continued)
and their affiliates to acquire additional shares of BlackRock common stock and preferred stock and to certain other restrictions. The Barclays Stockholder Agreement was terminated on May 29,
2012.
In addition, Barclays and certain of its affiliates have been engaged by the Company to provide the use of certain indices for certain BlackRock
investment funds and for a fee to provide indemnification to clients related to potential losses in connection with lending of client securities. For the five months ended May 31, 2012, and the full years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010,
fees incurred for these agreements were $9 million, $18 million and $14 million and were recorded within direct fund expenses and general and administration expenses, respectively.
Certain Agreements and Arrangements with PNC and Merrill Lynch
PNC. On February 27, 2009,
BlackRock entered into an amended and restated implementation and stockholder agreement with PNC, and a third amendment to the share surrender agreement with PNC. See Note 17, Capital Stock, for further discussion.
The changes contained in the amended and restated stockholder agreement with PNC, in relation to the prior agreement, among other things, (i) revised the
definitions of Fair Market Value, Ownership Cap, Ownership Percentage, Ownership Threshold and Significant Stockholder; and (ii) amended or supplemented certain other provisions
therein to incorporate series B preferred stock and series C preferred stock, respectively.
The amendment to the share surrender agreement with PNC
provided for the substitution of series C preferred stock for the shares of common stock subject to the share surrender agreement.
In June 2009, in
connection with the BGI Transaction, certain additional amendments were made to the amended and restated stockholder agreement with PNC.
The amended
and restated stockholder agreement with PNC was changed to, among other things, (i) revise the definitions of Ownership Cap and Ownership Threshold, (ii) amend or supplement certain other definitions and provisions
therein to incorporate series D participating preferred stock, (iii) provide that none of the transfer restriction provisions set forth in the amended and restated stockholder agreement with PNC apply to the shares purchased by PNC as part of
the financing for the BGI Transaction, (iv) amend the provision relating to the
composition of BlackRocks Board of Directors and (v) provide that the amended and restated stockholder agreement with PNC shall terminate upon the later of (A) the five year
anniversary of the amended and restated stockholder agreement with PNC and (B) the first date on which PNC and its affiliates beneficially own less than 5% of the outstanding BlackRock capital stock, subject to certain other conditions
specified therein.
Merrill Lynch. In November 2010, in connection with the secondary offering by Bank of America of shares of BlackRocks
common stock, the Company entered into an amended and restated stockholder agreement and an amended and restated global distribution agreement with Merrill Lynch.
The changes to the stockholder agreement with Merrill Lynch provide, among other things, for the following: (i) a reduction in the number of directors Merrill Lynch is entitled to designate upon its holding
falling below 10% and 5% thresholds, (ii) a reduction of the cap on total ownership of BlackRock capital stock, (iii) restrictions on Merrill Lynch transferring any shares until November 15, 2011 and (iv) the setting of a
termination date of the agreement to July 31, 2013.
The global distribution agreement provides a framework under which Merrill Lynch provides
distribution and servicing of client investments in certain BlackRock investment advisory products. The amendment to the global distribution agreement clarifies certain economic arrangements with respect to revenue neutrality across BlackRock
products distributed by Merrill Lynch.
During 2010, the total amount of related party transactions expensed by BlackRock through November 2010 related
to Merrill Lynch distribution and servicing of products covered by the global distribution agreement, including mutual funds, separate accounts, liquidity funds, alternative investments and insurance products, was approximately $210 million.
In addition, in connection with the MLIM Transaction, Merrill Lynch agreed that it will provide reimbursement to BlackRock for employee incentive
awards issued to former MLIM employees who became BlackRock employees subsequent to the MLIM Transaction. Reimbursements amounted to 50% of the total amount of awards to former MLIM employees between $100 million and $200 million. The Company
invoiced Merrill Lynch following its determination of the portion of awards entitled to reimbursement for a given calendar year. Through January 2007, the Company had issued total eligible incentive compensation to qualified employees in excess of
$200 million. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, Merrill Lynch
F-49
15. Related Party Transactions (continued)
reimbursed $7 million, $8 million and $10 million, respectively, to BlackRock for employee incentive awards issued to former MLIM employees who became BlackRock employees subsequent to the MLIM
Transaction. Upon receipt, the reimbursements were recorded as capital contributions.
Merrill Lynch and certain of its affiliates have been engaged by
the Company to provide recordkeeping, administration and trustee services to the BRSP. The compensation to Merrill Lynch and its affiliates for these services paid by the Company was not material.
Receivables and Payables with Related Parties. Due from related parties was $77 million and $142 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively, and primarily represented receivables for investment advisory and administration services provided by BlackRock, and other receivables from certain investment products managed by BlackRock. Due from related parties at December 31,
2012 included $68 million due from certain funds. Due from related parties at December 31, 2011 included $56 million due from certain funds and $69 million of a tax indemnification asset due from Barclays.

including iShares, for investment advisory and administration services.

primarily represented payables to certain investment products managed by BlackRock. Due to related parties at December 31, 2011 included $13 million and $9 million payable to certain investment products managed by BlackRock and Barclays,
respectively.
16. Net Capital Requirements
The Company is required to maintain net capital in certain regulated subsidiaries within a number of jurisdictions, which is partially maintained
by retaining cash and cash equivalent investments in those subsidiaries or jurisdictions. As a result, such subsidiaries of the Company may be restricted in their ability to transfer cash between different jurisdictions and to their parents.
Additionally, transfers of cash between international jurisdictions, including repatriation to the United States, may have adverse tax consequences that could discourage such transfers.
Banking Regulatory Requirements. BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (BTC), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is chartered as a national bank whose powers are limited to trust activities. BTC is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, BTC must meet specific capital guidelines that invoke quantitative measures of BTCs assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under the regulatory
accounting practices. BTCs capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulators to ensure capital adequacy require BTC to maintain a minimum Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage ratio, as well as Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios. Based on
BTCs calculations as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, it exceeded the applicable capital adequacy requirements.

Deferred income taxes are provided for the effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or
liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements. These temporary differences result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years.
The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are shown below:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded net when related to the same tax jurisdiction. At December 31, 2012,
the Company recorded on the consolidated statement of financial condition deferred income tax assets, within other assets, and deferred income tax liabilities of $4 million and $5,293 million, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the Company
recorded on the consolidated statement of financial condition deferred income tax assets, within other assets, and deferred income tax liabilities of $6 million and $5,323 million, respectively.
During 2012, tax legislation enacted in the United Kingdom and the state and local income tax effect resulting from
changes in the Companys organizational structure primarily resulted in a $50 million net non-cash benefit related to the revaluation of certain deferred income tax liabilities.
In 2011, an enacted state tax law and a state tax election went into effect, which resulted in a revaluation of certain net deferred income tax liabilities primarily related to acquired intangible assets, which
resulted in a $52 million and $91 million tax benefit, respectively. In addition, the United Kingdom and Japan enacted legislation reducing corporate income tax rates, which resulted in a revaluation of certain net deferred income tax liabilities
primarily related to acquired intangible assets, which resulted in a $60 million and $13 million tax benefit, respectively.
The Company had a
deferred income tax asset related to unrealized investment losses of approximately $71 million and $110 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, reflecting the Companys conclusion that based on the weight of available
evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realized capital losses may be carried back three years and carried forward five years and offset against realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The
Company expects to hold certain fixed income securities over a period sufficient for them to recover their unrealized losses, and to generate future capital gains sufficient to offset the unrealized capital losses.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had available state net operating loss carryforwards of $842 million and $388 million, respectively, which will
expire on or before 2032. At December 31, 2012, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $152 million of which $36 million expires on or before 2021 and the balance will carry forward indefinitely. In addition, at
December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had U.S.
F-54
19. Income Taxes (continued)
capital loss carryforwards of $69 million and $90 million, which were acquired in the BGI Transaction and will expire on or before 2013.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had $95 million and $95 million of valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets, respectively, recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
The year-over-year increase in the valuation allowance primarily related to certain foreign deferred income tax assets.
Goodwill recorded in connection
with the Quellos Transaction has been reduced during the period by the amount of tax benefit realized from tax-deductible goodwill. See Note 9, Goodwill, for further discussion.
Current income taxes are recorded net in the consolidated statements of financial condition when related to the same tax jurisdiction. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had current income taxes receivable
and payable of $102 million and $121 million, respectively, recorded in other assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had current income taxes receivable and payable of $108
million and $102 million, respectively, recorded in other assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively.
The Company does not
provide deferred taxes on the excess of the financial reporting over tax basis on its investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. The excess totaled $2,125 million and $1,516 million as of December 31, 2012
and 2011, respectively. The determination of the additional deferred income taxes on the excess has not been provided because it is not practicable due to the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are $250
million, $226 million and $194 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
The Company recognizes interest and
penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits noted above, the Company accrued interest and penalties of $3 million during 2012 and in total, as of December 31, 2012, had
recognized a liability for interest and penalties of $69 million. The Company accrued interest and penalties of $10 million during 2011 and in total, as of December 31, 2011, had recognized a liability for interest and penalties of $66 million.
The Company accrued interest and penalties of $8 million during 2010 and in total, as of December 31, 2010, had recognized a liability for interest and penalties of $56 million. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement, the
Company has been indemnified by Barclays for $73 million and Guggenheim for $6 million of unrecognized tax benefits.
BlackRock is subject to U.S.
federal income tax, state and local income tax, and foreign income tax in multiple jurisdictions. Tax years after 2007 remain open to U.S. federal income tax examination, tax years after 2005 remain open to state and local income tax examination,
and tax years after 2006 remain open to income tax examination in the United Kingdom. With few exceptions, as of December 31, 2012, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for
years before 2006.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed its examination of BlackRocks 2006 and 2007 tax years in March 2011.
In November 2011, the IRS commenced its examination of BlackRocks 2008 and 2009 tax years, and while the impact on the consolidated financial statements is undetermined, it is not expected to be material.
In July 2011, the IRS commenced its federal income tax audit of the BGI group, which BlackRock acquired in December 2009. The tax years under examination are 2007
through December 1, 2009, and while the impact on the consolidated financial statements is undetermined, it is not expected to be material.
The
Company is currently under audit in several state and local jurisdictions. The significant state and local income tax examinations are in California for tax years 2004 through 2006, New York City for tax years 2007 through 2008, and New Jersey for
tax years 2003 through 2009. No state and local income tax audits cover years earlier than 2007 except for California, New Jersey and New York City. No state and local income tax audits are expected to result in an assessment material to the
consolidated financial statements.
F-55
19. Income Taxes (continued)
In December 2009, Her Majestys Revenue and Customs (HMRC) commenced its United Kingdom income tax
audit of BlackRocks 2007 through 2010 tax years. While the impact on the consolidated financial statements is undetermined, it is not expected to be material.
As of December 31, 2012, it is reasonably possible the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will increase or
decrease within the next twelve months due to completion of tax authorities exams or the expiration of statues of limitations. Management estimates that the existing liability for uncertain
tax positions could decrease by approximately $5 million to $15 million within the next twelve months. The Company does not anticipate that any possible adjustments resulting from these audits would result in a material change to its consolidated
financial statements.

Allocation to common stockholders is based on the total of common and participating security stockholders (which represent unvested RSUs that contain
nonforfeitable rights to dividends). For 2012, 2011 and 2010, average outstanding participating securities were 0.2 million, 1.8 million and 2.8 million, respectively. |
Due to the similarities in terms between BlackRock non-voting participating preferred stock and the Companys
common stock, the Company considers participating preferred stock to be a common stock equivalent for purposes of EPS calculations. As such, the Company has included the outstanding non-voting participating preferred stock in the calculation of
average basic and diluted shares outstanding.
For 2012, 2011 and 2010, 449, 5,125 and 1,198,856 RSUs, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted
EPS because to include them would have an anti-dilutive effect. In addition, there were no anti-dilutive stock options for 2012, 2011 and 2010.

23. Subsequent Events
Share Repurchase Approvals. In January 2013, the Board of Directors (the Board) approved an increase in the
availability under the Companys existing share repurchase program to allow for the repurchase of up to 10.2 million shares of BlackRock common stock.
Dividend Approval. On January 16, 2013, the Board approved BlackRocks quarterly dividend of $1.68 to be paid on March 25, 2013 to stockholders of record on March 7, 2013.
Acquisitions. In January 2013, BlackRock announced that it agreed to acquire the Credit Suisse ETF franchise, the European ETF platform
with products domiciled in Switzerland, Ireland and Luxembourg, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, signed into law on January 2,
2013, brought about significant tax changes, including, but not limited to, the retroactive extension of several temporary tax incentives for businesses. The business tax incentives extended through 2013 include research and development credit
and look-through treatment of payments between related controlled foreign corporations. The effects of the change in tax law will be recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2013, the period that the law was enacted. The Company does
not expect the impact to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Additional Subsequent Event Review. In addition to the
subsequent events included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Company conducted a review for additional subsequent events and determined that no additional subsequent events had occurred that would require accrual or
additional disclosures.
