In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the interim results, have been made. The preparation of the condensed financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the interim reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The December 31, 2011 condensed statement of financial condition was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</div></div>

If we determine the likelihood of a negative outcome is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record an estimated loss for the expected outcome of the litigation. If the likelihood of a negative outcome is reasonably possible and we are able to determine an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, we disclose that fact together with the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss. However, it is difficult to predict the outcome or estimate a possible loss or range of loss because litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, particularly when plaintiffs allege substantial or indeterminate damages, or when the litigation is highly complex or broad in scope. In such cases, we disclose that we are unable to predict the outcome or estimate a possible loss or range of loss.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">During the first quarter of 2012, AllianceBernstein received a legal letter of claim (the "Letter of Claim") sent on behalf of a former European pension fund client, alleging that AllianceBernstein Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of AllianceBernstein organized in the U.K.) was negligent and failed to meet certain applicable standards of care with respect to the initial investment in and management of a £500 million portfolio of U.S. mortgage-backed securities. The alleged damages range between $177 million and $234 million, plus compound interest on an alleged $125 million of realized losses in the portfolio. AllianceBernstein believes that any losses to this client resulted from adverse developments in the U.S. housing and mortgage market that precipitated the financial crisis in 2008 and not any negligence or failure on its part. AllianceBernstein believes that it has strong defenses to these claims and will defend them vigorously. It is reasonably possible that we could incur a loss as a result of this matter. Currently, however, we are unable to predict the outcome or estimate a possible loss or range of loss.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">We are involved in various other matters, including regulatory inquiries, administrative proceedings and litigation, some of which allege significant damages.

Specifically, AllianceBernstein amended all outstanding year-end deferred incentive compensation awards of active employees, so that employees who terminate their employment or are terminated without cause may retain their award, subject to compliance with certain agreements and restrictive covenants set forth in the applicable award agreement, including restrictions on competition and employee and client solicitation, and a claw-back for failing to follow existing risk management policies. Most equity replacement, sign-on or similar deferred compensation awards included in separate employment agreements or arrangements were not amended.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">AllianceBernstein recognizes compensation expense related to equity compensation grants in the financial statements using the fair value method. Fair value of restricted Holding Unit awards is the closing price of a Holding Unit on the grant date; fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Under the fair value method, compensatory expense is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized over the required service period. Prior to the amendment made to the employee long-term incentive compensation award program in the fourth quarter of 2011, an employee's service requirement was typically the same as the delivery dates. This amendment eliminated employee service requirements, but did not modify delivery dates contained in the original award agreements.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">As a result of this change, AllianceBernstein recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $587.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 for all unrecognized deferred incentive compensation on the amended outstanding awards from prior years. In addition, upon approval and communication of the dollar value of the 2011 awards in December 2011, AllianceBernstein recorded 100% of the expense associated with its 2011 deferred incentive compensation awards of $159.9 million. In January 2012, 8.7 million restricted Holding Units were issued from the consolidated rabbi trust and AllianceBernstein reclassified $130.3 million of the liability to partners' capital as equity-based awards.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">Awards granted in 2011 contained the provisions described above and we expect to include these provisions in deferred incentive compensation awards going forward. Accordingly, AllianceBernstein's annual incentive compensation expense will reflect 100% of the expense associated with the deferred incentive compensation awarded in each year. This approach to expense recognition will more closely match the economic cost of awarding deferred incentive compensation to the period in which the related service is performed.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">Grants of restricted Holding Units and options to buy Holding Units are typically awarded to eligible members of the Board of Directors ("Eligible Directors") of the General Partner during the second quarter. Restricted Holding Units vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and the options become exercisable ratably over three years. These restricted Holding Units and options are not forfeitable (except if the Eligible Director is terminated for "Cause", as that term is defined in the applicable award agreement). Due to there being no service requirement, AllianceBernstein fully expensed these awards on each grant date.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">AllianceBernstein funds its restricted Holding Unit awards either by purchasing Holding Units on the open market or purchasing newly-issued Holding Units from Holding, all of which are held in a consolidated rabbi trust until they are distributed to employees upon vesting. In accordance with the AllianceBernstein Partnership Agreement, when Holding issues Holding Units to AllianceBernstein, Holding is required to use the proceeds it receives from AllianceBernstein to purchase the equivalent number of newly-issued AllianceBernstein Units, thus increasing its percentage ownership interest in AllianceBernstein. Holding Units held in the consolidated rabbi trust are corporate assets in the name of the trust and are available to the general creditors of AllianceBernstein.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">During the second quarter and first six months of 2012, AllianceBernstein purchased 2.1 million and 6.6 million Holding Units for $28.2 million and $95.1 million, respectively. These amounts reflect open-market purchases of 2.1 million and 6.3 million Holding Units for $27.5 million and $90.6 million, respectively, with the remainder primarily relating to purchases of Holding Units from employees to allow them to fulfill statutory tax withholding requirements at the time of distribution of long-term incentive compensation awards, offset by Holding Units purchased by employees as part of a distribution reinvestment election.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">During each of the first and second quarters of 2012, AllianceBernstein adopted a plan to repurchase Holding Units pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). A Rule 10b5-1 plan allows a company to repurchase its shares at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods and because it possesses material non-public information. The broker selected by AllianceBernstein has the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the plan to repurchase Holding Units on AllianceBernstein's behalf in accordance with the terms of the plan. Repurchases are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the plan. The plan adopted during the second quarter of 2012 does not specify an aggregate limitation and expires at the close of business on August 2, 2012. AllianceBernstein intends to adopt additional Rule 10b5-1 plans so that the firm can continue to engage in open-market purchases of Holding Units to help fund anticipated obligations under its incentive compensation award program and for other corporate purposes.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">AllianceBernstein granted to employees and Eligible Directors 2.8 million restricted Holding Unit awards during the second quarter of 2012 (2.7 million of which were awarded to Peter Kraus, our Chief Executive Officer, in connection with his extended employment agreement) and 11.9 million restricted Holding Unit awards (including 8.7 million restricted Holding Units granted in January 2012 for 2011 year-end awards) during the first six months of 2012. To fund these awards, AllianceBernstein allocated previously repurchased Holding Units that had been held in AllianceBernstein's consolidated rabbi trust. The 2011 incentive compensation awards allowed most employees to allocate their awards between restricted Holding Units and deferred cash. As a result, 8.7 million restricted Holding Unit awards for the December 2011 awards were issued from AllianceBernstein's consolidated rabbi trust in January 2012. There were approximately 8.7 million unallocated Holding Units remaining in AllianceBernstein's consolidated rabbi trust as of June 30, 2012.</div></div>

However, Holding is subject to the 4.0% New York City unincorporated business tax ("UBT"), net of credits for UBT paid by AllianceBernstein, and to a 3.5% federal tax on partnership gross income from the active conduct of a trade or business. Holding's partnership gross income is derived from its interest in AllianceBernstein.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">Holding's income tax is computed by multiplying certain AllianceBernstein qualifying revenues (primarily U.S. investment advisory fees and SCB commissions) by Holding's ownership interest in AllianceBernstein, multiplied by the 3.5% tax rate. Holding's effective tax rate increased during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding periods in 2011 due to AllianceBernstein's net income decreasing at a greater rate than the decrease in its qualifying revenues.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt;

In addition, changes in due from AllianceBernstein included in cash flows from operating activities in prior periods are now presented as additional investments in AllianceBernstein included in cash flows from investing activities. As of March 31, 2012, the cumulative impact of the revision on the investment in AllianceBernstein in the condensed statement of financial condition was $8.8 million and the impact of the revision for the full year 2011 in the statement of cash flows was $5.7 million. Management concluded that the revision did not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material misstatement of Holding's financial statements for any prior period.</div></div>

<div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">Holding's income tax is computed by multiplying certain AllianceBernstein qualifying revenues (primarily U.S. investment advisory fees and SCB commissions) by Holding's ownership interest in AllianceBernstein, multiplied by the 3.5% tax rate. Holding's effective tax rate increased during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding periods in 2011 due to AllianceBernstein's net income decreasing at a greater rate than the decrease in its qualifying revenues.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt;

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the interim results, have been made. The preparation of the condensed financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the interim reporting periods.

Specifically, AllianceBernstein amended all outstanding year-end deferred incentive compensation awards of active employees, so that employees who terminate their employment or are terminated without cause may retain their award, subject to compliance with certain agreements and restrictive covenants set forth in the applicable award agreement, including restrictions on competition and employee and client solicitation, and a claw-back for failing to follow existing risk management policies. Most equity replacement, sign-on or similar deferred compensation awards included in separate employment agreements or arrangements were not amended.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">AllianceBernstein recognizes compensation expense related to equity compensation grants in the financial statements using the fair value method. Fair value of restricted Holding Unit awards is the closing price of a Holding Unit on the grant date; fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Under the fair value method, compensatory expense is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized over the required service period. Prior to the amendment made to the employee long-term incentive compensation award program in the fourth quarter of 2011, an employee's service requirement was typically the same as the delivery dates. This amendment eliminated employee service requirements, but did not modify delivery dates contained in the original award agreements.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">As a result of this change, AllianceBernstein recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $587.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 for all unrecognized deferred incentive compensation on the amended outstanding awards from prior years. In addition, upon approval and communication of the dollar value of the 2011 awards in December 2011, AllianceBernstein recorded 100% of the expense associated with its 2011 deferred incentive compensation awards of $159.9 million. In January 2012, 8.7 million restricted Holding Units were issued from the consolidated rabbi trust and AllianceBernstein reclassified $130.3 million of the liability to partners' capital as equity-based awards.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">Awards granted in 2011 contained the provisions described above and we expect to include these provisions in deferred incentive compensation awards going forward. Accordingly, AllianceBernstein's annual incentive compensation expense will reflect 100% of the expense associated with the deferred incentive compensation awarded in each year. This approach to expense recognition will more closely match the economic cost of awarding deferred incentive compensation to the period in which the related service is performed.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">Grants of restricted Holding Units and options to buy Holding Units are typically awarded to eligible members of the Board of Directors ("Eligible Directors") of the General Partner during the second quarter. Restricted Holding Units vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and the options become exercisable ratably over three years. These restricted Holding Units and options are not forfeitable (except if the Eligible Director is terminated for "Cause", as that term is defined in the applicable award agreement). Due to there being no service requirement, AllianceBernstein fully expensed these awards on each grant date.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">AllianceBernstein funds its restricted Holding Unit awards either by purchasing Holding Units on the open market or purchasing newly-issued Holding Units from Holding, all of which are held in a consolidated rabbi trust until they are distributed to employees upon vesting. In accordance with the AllianceBernstein Partnership Agreement, when Holding issues Holding Units to AllianceBernstein, Holding is required to use the proceeds it receives from AllianceBernstein to purchase the equivalent number of newly-issued AllianceBernstein Units, thus increasing its percentage ownership interest in AllianceBernstein. Holding Units held in the consolidated rabbi trust are corporate assets in the name of the trust and are available to the general creditors of AllianceBernstein.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">During the second quarter and first six months of 2012, AllianceBernstein purchased 2.1 million and 6.6 million Holding Units for $28.2 million and $95.1 million, respectively. These amounts reflect open-market purchases of 2.1 million and 6.3 million Holding Units for $27.5 million and $90.6 million, respectively, with the remainder primarily relating to purchases of Holding Units from employees to allow them to fulfill statutory tax withholding requirements at the time of distribution of long-term incentive compensation awards, offset by Holding Units purchased by employees as part of a distribution reinvestment election.</div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">During each of the first and second quarters of 2012, AllianceBernstein adopted a plan to repurchase Holding Units pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). A Rule 10b5-1 plan allows a company to repurchase its shares at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods and because it possesses material non-public information. The broker selected by AllianceBernstein has the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the plan to repurchase Holding Units on AllianceBernstein's behalf in accordance with the terms of the plan. Repurchases are subject to SEC regulations as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the plan. The plan adopted during the second quarter of 2012 does not specify an aggregate limitation and expires at the close of business on August 2, 2012. AllianceBernstein intends to adopt additional Rule 10b5-1 plans so that the firm can continue to engage in open-market purchases of Holding Units to help fund anticipated obligations under its incentive compensation award program and for other corporate purposes.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;">AllianceBernstein granted to employees and Eligible Directors 2.8 million restricted Holding Unit awards during the second quarter of 2012 (2.7 million of which were awarded to Peter Kraus, our Chief Executive Officer, in connection with his extended employment agreement) and 11.9 million restricted Holding Unit awards (including 8.7 million restricted Holding Units granted in January 2012 for 2011 year-end awards) during the first six months of 2012. To fund these awards, AllianceBernstein allocated previously repurchased Holding Units that had been held in AllianceBernstein's consolidated rabbi trust. The 2011 incentive compensation awards allowed most employees to allocate their awards between restricted Holding Units and deferred cash. As a result, 8.7 million restricted Holding Unit awards for the December 2011 awards were issued from AllianceBernstein's consolidated rabbi trust in January 2012. There were approximately 8.7 million unallocated Holding Units remaining in AllianceBernstein's consolidated rabbi trust as of June 30, 2012.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; margin-left: 18pt; font-size: 10pt; margin-right: 0pt;"> </div></div>
