Management Discussion of Fund Performance

Important Update

As discussed on our last Quarterly Investor Call on May 1, 2014, KKR Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”) recommended, and the Board approved, the removal of the non-fundamental investment policy that limited the Fund’s investment to 20% of Managed Assets in fixed-income instruments that are rated Caa1 or lower by Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”), Inc. or CCC+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Corporation Rating Group or Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”). As a result of the removal of this limitation, the Fund may now invest without limitation in securities rated Caa1 or lower by Moody’s or CCC+ or lower by S&P or Fitch. The removal of this limitation will take effect beginning on July 1, 2014.

Looking Back on the Markets

Over the past six months, the credit markets continued to be dominated by technical pressures that have driven yields lower and spreads tighter. The end of 2013 and beginning of 2014 saw investors in a “full steam ahead” mode, buying any and all paper that came to market, despite the lack of covenants and the higher leverage profiles that came with many of the deals. There didn’t seem to be much that gave the markets pause — not even uprisings in Ukraine, concerns in Russia, or mid-quarter taper talk — as investors continued to place buy orders.

We think much of this demand can be attributed to the lack of alternative spread assets, as net issuance across products is expected to be only slightly higher than the coupon income that is generated off the same assets. So with a lot of money that needs to be put to work, coupled with a limited number of assets that offer any spread, it is easy to see why there is so much demand for corporate credit.

Despite all this demand, we are starting to see some cracks in the credit markets’ armor. In April the levered credit markets got something of a shock when the first outflows occurred to leveraged loan mutual funds, and we note that it was the first outflow after 95 weeks of inflows. On the back of this, investors began selling some of their positions for fear of a wider spread sell-off; if nothing else there was the fear of forced selling by mutual funds. These outflows, along with selling in the equity markets, did help temper the demand in the credit markets for a bit. While asset prices did fall a point or two, the more significant change we saw was that fewer of the ‘marginal’ credits came to market with deals.

In addition to outflows that are giving the markets a pause, albeit brief, we see that greater pockets of volatility are emerging. During the most recent earnings season, companies that experienced some kind of event — whether it be an earnings miss, or the announcement of a leveraging transaction — were seemingly punished with a multiple point price decline. To us it points to a jittery market with investors who are somewhat cautious holders of risk.

So what does this mean for KKR and our funds? We like volatility. It creates opportunities, especially as the price movements are idiosyncratic, and we believe we have a differentiated platform because of our ability to fundamentally analyze companies and situations. When assets are for sale, we like to dig in and determine where we find the best value. While we do not envision a substantial sell-off in the markets, we do think there will be opportunities for us to add assets that offer worthwhile returns for the risk.

Over the six month period ended April 30, 2014, $11.9 billion was added to loan funds, and $3.7 billion to bond funds. This compares to $26.0 billion and a $2.7 billion outflow, respectively, in the year ago period. (3),(4)

Volatility: As measured by the VIX index, volatility was below its long term average at 13.4 at the end of April. For reference, the low for the index is 10.4, and that was reached in January of 2007.(5)

Fund Performance

KKR Income Opportunities Fund (“KIO” or herein, the “Fund”) is a recently organized, non-diversified, closed-end fund that trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “KIO”. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek a high level of current income with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by employing a dynamic strategy of investing in a targeted portfolio of loans and fixed-income instruments (including derivatives) of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and implementing hedging strategies in order to seek to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns. Under normal market conditions, KIO will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in loans and fixed-income instruments or other instruments, including derivative instruments, with similar economic characteristics. The Fund expects to invest primarily in first- and second lien secured loans, unsecured loans and high-yield corporate debt instruments of varying maturities.

As of April 30, 2014, the Fund held 82.3% of its net assets in high-yield corporate debt, 40.6% of its net assets in first and second-lien leveraged loans, 2.3% of its net assets in common stock and 5.2% of its net assets in preferred stock. KIO’s investments represented obligations and equity interests in 90 companies diversified across 40 distinct industries. The top ten issuers represented 46.0% of the Fund’s net assets while the top five industry groups represented 53.8% of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund’s Securities and Exchange Commission 30-day yield was 5.97%.

For the six month period ending April 30, 2014, KIO outperformed the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. Over that period, the Fund had returns of 5.22% on a net asset (“NAV”) value basis, 6.26% on a market price basis, and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index returned 4.76% over the same time period. For the period from July 25, 2013 (commencement of operations) to April 30, 2014, the Fund had returns of 8.69% on a NAV basis and -4.44% on a market price basis. Over the same period, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index returned 7.60%. Since inception through April 30, 2014, the Fund traded at an average discount to NAV of -6.81%.(6) The Fund employed leverage.(7)

Business Updates

In February 2014, KKR & Co L.P. (together with the Fund’s Adviser and its other affiliates, “KKR”) closed on its acquisition of Avoca Capital (“Avoca”), a leading European credit manager with approximately €6 billion/$8 billion of assets under management across 21 funds and separate accounts. Avoca was established in 2002 and operates across five European credit strategies including Senior Secured Loans, Credit Opportunities, Long/Short Credit, Global Convertible Bonds, Structured and Illiquid Credit. We believe Avoca’s investment philosophy complements that of the Fund’s Adviser, and the acquisition represents a significant expansion of KKR’s capabilities in the rapidly growing market for European public credit. We believe that the Avoca acquisition could offer an incremental source of investment ideas for the Fund.

Disclosures

The Bank of America Merrill Lynch US Corporate Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. dollar denomination investment grade corporate debt securities publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market with at least one year remaining term to final maturity.

The Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index is a market-value weighted index of below investment grade U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. “Yankee” bonds (debt of foreign issuers issued in the U.S. domestic market) are included in the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index provided that the issuer is domiciled in a country having investment grade foreign currency long-term debt rating. Qualifying bonds must have maturities of one year or more, a fixed coupon schedule and minimum outstanding of US$100 million. In addition, issues having a credit rating lower than BBB3, but not in default, are also included.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index (VIX) reflects the market’s expectation of 30-day volatility. It is constructed using the implied volatilities of a wide range of S&P 500 index options. The VIX reflects the market’s estimate of future volatility, based on the weighted average of the implied volatilities for a wide range of strikes. The first and second month expirations are used until 8 days from expiration, then the second and third are used.

The S&P 500 Total Return Index (“S&P 500”) is comprised of a representative sample of 500 large-cap companies. The index is an unmanaged, floatweighted index with each stock’s weight in the index in proportion to its float, as determined by Standard & Poors. The S&P 500 is one of the most widely used benchmarks of U.S. equity performance.

It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. Returns represent past performance and reflect changes in share prices, the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, expense limitations and the effects of compounding. The prospectus contains more complete information on the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the investment company, which investors should read and consider carefully before investing. The returns shown do not reflect taxes a shareholder would pay on distributions or redemptions. Total investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate, and your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the risk of loss of principal. For a discussion of the Fund’s risks, see Risk Considerations, Note 3 to the financial statements.

Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.

An imbalance in supply and demand in the income market may result in valuation uncertainties and greater volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in the market. Investments in income securities may be affected by changes in the creditworthiness of the issuer and are subject to the risk of non—payment of principal and interest. The value of income securities also may decline because of real or perceived concerns about the issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments. Borrowing to increase investments (leverage) will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of Fund investments. Investments rated below investment grade (typically referred to as “junk”) are generally subject to greater price volatility and illiquidity than higher rated investments. As interest rates rise, the value of certain income investments is likely to decline. Senior loans are subject to prepayment risk. Investments in foreign instruments or currencies can involve greater risk and volatility than U.S. investments because of adverse market economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical or other conditions. Changes in the value of investments entered for hedging purposes may not match those of the position being hedged. The Fund may engage in other investment practices that may involve additional risks.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization

KKR Income Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) was organized on March 17, 2011 as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Fund is a closed-end registered management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on July 25, 2013. The Fund seeks to generate a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund is non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). KKR Asset Management LLC serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are stated in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments — The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Fund has adopted valuation policies and procedures to ensure investments are valued in a manner consistent with GAAP as required by the 1940 Act. The Board has delegated primary responsibility in ensuring these valuation policies and procedures are followed, including those relating to fair valuation, to the Adviser.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined under GAAP, are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, and are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

The types of assets generally included in this category are preferred stock and common stock listed in active markets.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

The types of assets and liabilities generally included in this category are high yield securities, leveraged loans, common and preferred stock not actively traded, escrow units, and financial instruments classified as derivatives.

Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The Fund did not hold Level 3 assets as of April 30, 2014.

A significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability is an indication that transactions or quoted prices may not be representative of fair value because in such market conditions there may be increased instances of transactions that are not orderly. In those circumstances, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value.

The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and the current market condition. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Fund’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset. The variability of the observable inputs affected by the factors described above may cause transfers between Levels 1, 2 and/or 3, which the Fund recognizes at the beginning of the period the inputs change.

Many financial assets and liabilities have bid and ask prices that can be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Fund and others are willing to pay for an asset. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the Fund and others are willing to accept for an asset. For financial assets and liabilities whose inputs are based on bid-ask prices, the Fund does not require that fair value always be a predetermined point in the bid-ask range. The Fund’s policy is to allow for mid-market pricing and adjust to the point within the bid-ask range that meets the Fund’s best estimate of fair value.

Depending on the relative liquidity in the markets for certain assets, the Fund may transfer assets to Level 3 if it determines that observable quoted prices, obtained directly or indirectly, are not available.

Valuation Process

The Adviser utilizes a valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”), whose members consist of the Adviser’s Head of Asset Management, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and certain other employees of the Adviser. The Valuation Committee is responsible for approving pricing sources and procedures and for oversight of the Adviser’s pricing practices, including determining the valuation of investments in circumstances where no external pricing data for an investment is available.

Investments are generally valued based on quotations from third party pricing services, unless such a quotation is unavailable or is determined to be unreliable or inadequately representing the fair value of the particular assets. In that case, valuations are based on either valuation data obtained from one or more other third party pricing sources, including broker dealers selected by the Adviser, or will reflect the Valuation Committee’s good faith determination of fair value based on other factors considered relevant. The valuation process involved in Level 3 measurements for assets and liabilities is completed daily based on the methodology and assumptions that are used in estimating the value of the investment that are approved by the Valuation Committee on at least a monthly basis and is designed to subject the valuation of Level 3 investments to an appropriate level of consistency, oversight, and review. For assets classified as Level 3, the investment professionals of the Adviser are responsible for preliminary valuations based on various factors including their evaluation of financial and operating data, company specific developments, market valuations of comparable companies and model projections discussed above. All valuations are approved by the Valuation Committee.

For the six months ended April 30, 2014, there have been no significant changes to the Fund’s fair value methodologies.

Investment Transactions — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date, the date the order to buy or sell is executed. Amortization and accretion is calculated using the effective interest method over the holding period of the investment. Realized gains and losses are calculated on the specific identified cost basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash held in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three or fewer months.

Restricted Cash — Restricted cash represents amounts that are held by third parties under certain of the Fund’s derivative transactions. Such cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Cash Flows. Interest income earned on restricted cash is recorded in other income on the Statement of Operations. On the Statement of Cash Flows, net additions or reductions to restricted cash are classified as an operating activity.

Foreign Currency Transactions — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All investments denominated in foreign currency are converted to the U.S. dollar using prevailing exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Income, expenses, gains and losses on investments denominated in foreign currency are converted to the U.S. dollar using the prevailing exchange rates on the dates when the transactions occurred.

The Fund bifurcates that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and interest from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized gains/losses until such time as the contracts have been closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency.

Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly and distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Taxes — The Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and in conformity with the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. The Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent the Fund satisfies the requirements under Section 851 of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its gross investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders based on the Fund’s fiscal year end of October 31.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax on undistributed income applicable to regulated investment companies, the Fund intends to declare each year as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.

The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions for the open tax year (2013). However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities, on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

As of April 30, 2014 the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended April 30, 2014, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Indemnifications — Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum liability exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as future claims that have not yet occurred may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.

3. Risk Considerations

The Fund invests mainly in high yield securities, leveraged loans, preferred and common stock and forward foreign currency contracts. These investments may involve certain risks, as discussed in the Fund’s prospectus, including, but not limited to, those described below:

Market Risk — Bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment with performance tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

Interest Rate Risk — Interest rates will rise and fall over time. During periods when interest rates are low, the Fund’s yield and total return also may be low. Changes in interest rates also may affect the Fund’s share price: a sharp rise in interest rates could cause the Fund’s share price to fall. The longer the Fund’s duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be.

Credit Risk — The Fund is subject to the risk that a decline in the credit quality of an investment could cause the Fund to lose money or underperform. The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of an investment fails to make timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations. The Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative contracts (whether a clearing corporation in the case of exchange-traded instruments or another third party in the case of over-the-counter instruments) and other instruments entered into directly by the Fund.

Liquidity Risk — A particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.

Prepayment and Extension Risk — The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that the investments may be paid off earlier or later than expected. Either situation could cause the Fund to hold investments paying lower-than-market rates of interest, which could hurt the Fund’s yield or share price.

High Yield Risk — High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (sometimes called junk bonds) that the Fund may invest in are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments.

Foreign Investment Risk — The Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates (the currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged) or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging markets.

Issuer Risk — The value of securities may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as its financial strength, management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets.

Non-diversification Risk — The Fund is a “non-diversified” investment company and therefore may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a limited number of issuers than funds that are “diversified.” Accordingly, the Fund is more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund might be.

Market Discount Risk — The price of the Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. Shares of closed-end management investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value, which may increase the risk of loss.

Leverage Risk — Leverage is a speculative technique that may expose the Fund to greater risk and increased costs. When leverage is used, the net asset value and market price of the Fund’s shares and the Fund’s investment return will likely be more volatile.

Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

4. Agreements

Investment Advisory Agreement — The Adviser provides day-to-day portfolio management services to the Fund and has discretion to purchase and sell investments in accordance with the Fund’s objectives, policies, and restrictions. For the services it provides to the Fund, the Adviser receives an annual fee, payable monthly by the Fund, in an amount equal to 1.10% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets (the “Management Fee”). “Managed Assets” is defined as the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to any borrowings (except borrowings solely for short-term cash management purposes), reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, any issuance of preferred shares or notes, and including any assets in respect of shares that will be repurchased as of the end of the month) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than any borrowings).

During periods when the Fund is using leverage, the Management Fee paid to the Adviser will be higher than if the Fund did not use leverage because the Management Fee paid is calculated on the basis of the Fund’s Managed Assets, which includes the assets purchased through leverage.

During the six months ended April 30, 2014, the Adviser earned a Management Fee of $2,189,503.

Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent — U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”) (the “Administrator”) serves as the Fund’s Administrator pursuant to an administration agreement under which the Administrator provides administrative and accounting services.

U.S. Bank, N.A. (“Custodian”) serves as the Fund’s custodian pursuant to a custody agreement. The Custodian is an affiliate of USBFS.

USBFS serves as the Fund’s transfer agent pursuant to a transfer agency agreement.

Investor Support Services Agreement — The Fund has retained Four Wood Capital Partners LLC to provide investor support services in connection with the on-going operation of the Fund. Such services include providing ongoing contact with respect to the Fund and its performance with financial advisors that are representatives of broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries and communicating with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) specialist for the Fund’s common shares, and with the closed-end fund analyst community regarding the Fund on a regular basis.

Deferred Trustees’ Compensation - The Fund has a Deferred Trustees’ Compensation plan (the “Plan”) that allows the Independent Trustees to defer compensation to a future payment period. The compensation is invested in notional shares of the Fund. The value of a participating Independent Trustee’s deferral account is based on the notional shares of deferred amounts as designated by the participating Independent Trustees. Changes in the value of the Independent Trustees’ deferral account are included in the Statement of Operations. The accrued obligations under the Plan, including unrealized appreciation/(depreciation), are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Other — Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser. Such officers are paid no fees by the Fund for serving as officers of the Fund.

5. Fair Valuation

Purchases		$	129,226,706
Sales		119,635,494

There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

9. Commitments

As of April 30, 2014, the Fund had unfunded financing commitments, including financial guarantees, related to other assets, including investments totaling approximately $2,899,000. The Fund did not have any significant losses as of April 30, 2014, nor does it expect any significant losses related to those assets for which it committed to purchase and fund. The Fund maintains sufficient liquidity to fund such unfunded loan commitments should the need arise.

10. Federal Income Taxes

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. As a result, the net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed realized

gains, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gain, as appropriate, in the period in which the differences arise.

The tax character of dividends declared for the six months ended April 30, 2014 and the period ended October 31, 2013 is as follows:

	Ordinary Income		Short-term Gain		Total
KKR Income Opportunities Fund
April 30, 2014	$	13,333,076	$	594,954	$	13,928,030
October 31, 2013	1,906,904		—		1,906,904

As of October 31, 2013, the components of accumulated gains on a tax basis for the Fund are as follows:

	Undistributed Ordinary Income		Net Unrealized Appreciation		Other Temporary Differences		Total Accumulated Gains
KKR Income Opportunities Fund	$	2,344,569	$	4,933,115	$	382,735	$	7,660,419

Net capital losses earned may be carried forward indefinitely and must retain the character of the original loss.

As of April 30, 2014, the total cost of securities for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for securities held by the Fund are as follows:

	Federal Tax Cost		Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation		Aggregate Gross Unrealized Depreciation			Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
KKR Income Opportunities Fund	$	382,016,131	$	12,373,811	$	(2,931,546	)	$	9,442,265

11. Credit Facility

In July 2013, the Fund entered into a $145.0 million credit agreement (the “Maximum Facility Amount”) with The Bank of Nova Scotia expiring on July 28, 2014 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility bears an unused commitment fee on the unused portion of the credit facility (the “Unused Facility Amount”) equal to (a) 0.15% on the total Unused Facility Amount if the Unused Facility Amount is lower or equal to 50% of the Maximum Facility Amount and (b) 0.20% on the total Unused Facility Amount if the Unused Facility Amount is in excess of 50% of the Maximum Facility Amount. The per annum rate of interest for borrowing under the Credit Facility is equal to (a) the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 0.875% per annum or (b) the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Fed Funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, and (iii) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% per annum.

As of April 30, 2014, there were $118,000,000 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and the Fund is in compliance with the terms of the Credit Facility.

12. Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

The Adviser recommended, and the Board approved, the removal of the non-fundamental investment policy that limited the Fund’s investment to 20% of Managed Assets in fixed-income instruments that are rated Caa1 or lower by Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”), Inc. or CCC+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) Corporation Rating Group or Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”). As a result of the removal of this limitation, the Fund may now

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”), income dividends and/or capital gain distributions to Common Shareholders will automatically be reinvested in additional Common Shares of the Fund by the Plan Administrator. A Common Shareholder may terminate participation in the DRIP at any time by notifying the DRIP Administrator before the record date of the next distribution through the Internet, by telephone or in writing.

1. The Plan Administrator will open an account for each holder of Common Shares under the Plan in the same name in which such holder of Common Shares is registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or other distribution (together, a “Dividend”) payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and Participants will receive the equivalent in Common Shares. The Common Shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the Participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either through (i) receipt of additional unissued but authorized Common Shares from the Fund (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere.

2. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price plus estimated per share fees (which include any brokerage commissions the Plan Administrator is required to pay) is equal to or greater than the net asset value (“NAV”) per Common Share, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares on behalf of the Participants. The number of Newly Issued Common Shares to be credited to each Participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the NAV per Common Share on the payment date; provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market value on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per Common Share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the NAV per Common Share is greater than the closing market value plus per share fees, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired on behalf of the Participants in Open-Market Purchases. In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any Dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the Common Shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such Dividend, whichever is sooner (the “Last Purchase Date”), to invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired in Open-Market Purchases. It is contemplated that the Fund will pay monthly income Dividends. Therefore, the period during which Open-Market Purchases can be made will exist only from the payment date of each Dividend through the date before the next “ex-dividend” date which typically will be approximately ten days. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per Common Share exceeds the NAV per Common Share, the average per Common Share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the NAV of the Common Shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer Common Shares than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued Common Shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open-Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open-Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares at the NAV per Common Share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per Common Share; the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date.

3. The Plan Administrator maintains all Participants’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by Participants for tax records. Common Shares in the account of each Participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to Participants and vote proxies for Common Shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the Participants.

4. In the case of shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.
