(Unaudited)
(a) The condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 1998, the condensed
statements of income for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 1998 and 1997, and the condensed statements of cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited. Because of the
nature of the Company's operations, the results for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year, but in
the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for the fair
presentation of interim period results have been included in the interim
financial statements.
(b) Estimated effective annual income tax rates differ from statutory rates,
primarily due to the dividends-received deduction and various tax credits.
(c) The Company's total non-owner changes in shareholders' equity consists of
net income plus unrealized holding gains on securities (comprehensive
income). On this basis, comprehensive income for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 totaled $6 million and $31 million,
respectively. Comprehensive income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 totaled $34 million and $71 million,
respectively.
(d) Results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 for ocean
transportation include $20 million, pre-tax, from the settlement of a
lawsuit that involved insurance claims for earthquake damage to port
facilities in 1989.
(e) Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's
presentation.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------
THIRD QUARTER EVENTS:
OPERATING RESULTS: Net income for the third quarter of 1998 was $13,780,000,
or $0.31 per share. Net income for the comparable period of 1997 was
$21,872,000, or $0.48 per share. Revenue for the third quarter of 1998 was
$326,362,000, nearly the same as $326,006,000 in the third quarter of 1997.
Net income for the first nine months of 1998 was $46,524,000, or $1.04 per
share, versus $61,376,000, or $1.36 per share, in the first nine months of
1997. Net income for the first nine months of 1997 included $12,478,000,
or $0.28 per share, resulting from the favorable settlement of long-standing
insurance litigation. Excluding that insurance settlement from the 1997
results, income for the first nine months of 1998 decreased $2,374,000, or
five percent. Revenue for the first nine months of 1998 was $983,594,000,
compared with revenue of $940,186,000 in the first nine months of 1997.
Excluding the insurance settlement, nine-month 1998 revenue increased seven
percent.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's principal liquid resources, comprising cash and cash equivalents,
receivables, sugar and coffee inventories and unused lines of credit, less
accrued deposits to the Capital Construction Fund (CCF), totaled $424,475,000
at September 30, 1998, a decrease of $59,201,000 from December 31, 1997. This
decrease was due primarily to lower amounts available under lines of credit and
to a lower cash balance, partially offset by increased sugar and coffee
inventories and a decrease in accrued deposits to the CCF. Amounts available
under lines of credit decreased $85,500,000, primarily due to a decrease in
credit facilities and increased borrowing for the purchase of raw sugar and
container equipment. Cash decreased by $13,657,000, due primarily to normal
expenditures for container equipment, debt repayments and operating cash
requirements. Sugar and coffee inventories increased $29,595,000, due
principally to higher levels of raw sugar inventory.
Working capital was $67,811,000 at September 30, 1998, a decrease of
$46,995,000 from the amount at the end of 1997. This decrease was due
primarily to increases in short-term debt, commercial paper borrowings and
accounts payable, and lower cash balances, partially offset by an increase in
inventories and a decrease in accrued deposits to the CCF.
In August 1998, Matson Navigation Company, Inc. ("Matson") purchased a vessel
for $7,200,000. The vessel, built in 1973, has been leased by Matson for all
of its 25-year life.
RESULTS OF SEGMENT OPERATIONS -
THIRD QUARTER 1998 COMPARED WITH THE THIRD QUARTER 1997
OCEAN TRANSPORTATION revenue of $180,202,000 for the third quarter of 1998 was
one-percent higher than the 1997 third-quarter revenue. Operating profit of
$16,200,000, however, decreased 34 percent compared with the third quarter of
1997, primarily the result of lower cargo revenue in the Hawaii service because
of both lower volume and rates. The decline in cargo volume resulted primarily
from continued contraction in the Hawaii market and a barge competitor which
temporarily served Hawaii during the peak summer period of household-goods
movements. These factors more than offset the benefits of a revised operating
alliance with American President Lines, Ltd. Third quarter 1998 Hawaii service
container volume was eight-percent lower than in the 1997 third quarter, and
automobile volume was 13-percent lower.
In response to the continuing weakness in the Hawaii economy, Matson
implemented a new schedule in its service between Hawaii and the U.S. mainland
in mid-September. The new schedule, which utilizes six (rather than eight)
ships, is projected to reduce operating expenses by up to $10,000,000 annually,
while still maintaining a high level of service. Separately, negotiations were
completed in late-September to charter two idle Matson vessels to an ocean
carrier which will provide service between Florida and Puerto Rico.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - LEASING revenue of $9,576,000 for the
third quarter of 1998 was three-percent higher than in the third quarter of
1997. However, operating profit of $5,786,000 was five-percent lower than in
the comparable period of 1997. The decrease was due primarily to lower
occupancy levels, which resulted, in turn, from both the relatively weak Hawaii
lease market and the timing of property sales and acquisitions on the Mainland.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - SALES revenue of $6,246,000 for the third
quarter of 1998 was 53-percent higher than the $4,080,000 recorded in the third
quarter of 1997. Operating profit from property sales this quarter was
$1,633,000, versus $1,257,000 a year earlier. Sales in the third quarter of
1998 included a total of 30 lower-margin residential properties in several
developments on the island of Maui. Sales in the third quarter of 1997
included an undeveloped parcel, one developed business lot and 13 residential
properties on Maui.
The mix of property sales in any year can be diverse. Sales can include
property sold under threat of condemnation, developed residential real estate,
commercial properties, developable subdivision lots and undeveloped land. The
sale of undeveloped land generally provides a greater contribution margin than
does the sale of developed and commercial property, due to the low historical-
cost basis of the Company's Hawaii land, which averages approximately $150 per
acre. Consequently, property sales revenue trends and the amount of real
estate held for sale on the condensed balance sheets are not necessarily
indicative of future profitability for this segment.
FOOD PRODUCTS revenue of $129,620,000 for the third quarter of 1998 was two-
percent lower than the revenue reported for the comparable period of 1997.
Operating profit of $7,557,000 for the third quarter of 1998 decreased 36
percent, from $11,778,000 in the same period in 1997. The decrease was due
primarily to lower refined sugar prices, offset, in part, by greater volume and
lower costs of raw sugar production.
RESULTS OF SEGMENT OPERATIONS -
FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1998 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1997
OCEAN TRANSPORTATION revenue of $541,126,000, for the first nine months of
1998, rose one percent and operating profit of $50,357,000 decreased 38
percent. One reason for the decrease was the favorable insurance settlement
in 1997. Excluding that factor ($19,965,000, pretax), 1998 first nine-months
operating profit was 18-percent lower than in 1997. This decrease was due to
the same reasons cited for the third quarter decline. Matson's Hawaii service
container volume in the first nine months of 1998 was four-percent lower than
in the first nine months of 1997, and automobile volume was five-percent lower.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - LEASING revenue of $28,009,000, for the
first nine months of 1998, was virtually the same as in the comparable 1997
period. However, nine-months 1998 property leasing operating profit of
$17,274,000 was eight-percent lower than in the nine months of 1997. This
decrease was due to the same reasons cited for the third quarter decline. The
additional leased properties in the first nine months of 1998 included four
income properties on the U.S. Mainland, two in San Antonio, Texas and two in
Sacramento, California. The new properties were acquired using tax-deferred
funds from previous property sales. Year-to-date 1998 occupancy levels for
Mainland properties averaged 92 percent, versus 98 percent in the first nine
months of 1997. Occupancy levels for Hawaii properties averaged 68 percent,
versus 78 percent in the comparable period of 1997. The decreases were due
primarily to both the relatively weak Hawaii lease market and the timing of
property sales and acquisitions on the U.S. Mainland.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - SALES revenue was $74,819,000 for the
first nine months of 1998, compared with $22,671,000 in sales recorded in the
first nine months of 1997. Operating profit of $20,269,000, from property
sales in the first nine months of 1998, was $14,352,000 higher than in the
comparable period of 1997. This large increase resulted from sales in the
second quarter of 1998, which included a large R&D and office complex in
Cupertino, Calif., and the Company's remaining interest in a 14-acre parcel
at Maui Business Park. Other sales in the first nine months of 1998 included
one business parcel and 44 residential properties. Sales in the comparable
period of 1997 included an undeveloped 29-acre parcel, a one-acre developed
lot, an industrial warehouse in California, and 40 residential and four
developed business lots.
FOOD PRODUCTS revenue of $337,488,000, for the first nine months of 1998, was
four-percent lower than the revenue reported for the comparable period of 1997.
For the first nine months of 1998, operating profit of $13,602,000 was 36-
percent lower than the $21,170,000 earned in the same period last year. This
decrease was due to the same reasons cited for the third quarter decline.
OTHER
INSURANCE LITIGATION: Matson received a favorable cash settlement of
$33,650,000 on February 13, 1997 for a contested insurance claim in connection
with repairing port facilities damaged by a 1989 earthquake. As noted
previously, this settlement resulted in additional net income of $12,478,000 in
the first nine months of 1997.
LEGISLATION: In 1997, the Secretary of Agriculture established, under the
Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act and in accordance with the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule, the aggregate quantity of sugars and syrups that
can be imported into the United States. The maximum import quantity for fiscal
year 1998 is 1,600,000 metric tons raw value (mtrv). The maximum import
quantity for fiscal year 1999 was set at 1,614,937 mtrv, with an initial
release of 1,164,937 mtrv.
C&H RECAPITALIZATION AND PARTIAL SALE: In August 1998, the Company announced
plans to recapitalize its sugar refining and marketing unit, California and
Hawaiian Sugar Company, Inc. (C&H), and to sell a majority of its equity in
that company to an investor group led by Citicorp Venture Capital, Ltd.
Because of the current unsettled conditions in the financial markets, the
timing for closing of this transaction is uncertain.
TAX-DEFERRED REAL ESTATE EXCHANGES: In the first nine months of 1998, the
Company sold five parcels of land for $64,349,000. The proceeds from these
sales are reflected in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows under the caption
"Other Non-Cash Information." During the first nine months of 1998, the
Company reinvested proceeds of $57,100,000 on a tax-deferred basis from sales
completed in 1998 and 1997.
SHARE REPURCHASES: During the first nine months of 1998, the Company
repurchased 284,200 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $6,662,000
(average of $23.44 per share).
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS: As with most industrial and land-development companies
of its size, the Company's operations have certain risks, which could result in
expenditures for environmental remediation. The Company believes that it is in
compliance, in all material respects, with applicable environmental laws and
regulations, and works proactively to identify potential environmental
concerns. Management believes that appropriate liabilities have been accrued
for environmental matters.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS: Despite the well-publicized and widespread turmoil in
financial markets worldwide, and especially in the Far East, the economic
outlook for Hawaii remains largely unchanged. Real Gross State Product is
expected to grow less than one percent this year. The state's prominent
visitor industry continues to affect various areas in the state in different
ways. Neighbor island destinations, which are favored by U.S. travelers, have
done relatively better than Oahu, which attracts greater numbers of eastbound
visitors. Year-to-date through August, westbound visitors number 2.9 million,
up 3.6 percent from 1997. On the other hand, eastbound tourism, with 1.7
million visitors year-to-date, is down 8.8 percent. Spending by Asian visitors
also is down, because of exchange rates, which were highly unfavorable for
Japanese visitors until October, when U.S. interest rates were lowered and
legislative relief was approved for Japan's banking industry. In August,
retail revenue at major shopping areas in or close to Oahu's major visitor
destination, Waikiki, was down 25-30 percent, whereas statewide retail revenue
year-to-date was up about eight percent. Any beneficial effects of the
subsequent strengthening of the yen on Hawaii's retail markets have yet to be
reported. The outlook for construction remains poor. For the eight months
through August, total reported contracts for future Hawaii construction of
$1.03 billion were down 20 percent from the same period in 1997.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT: On October 22, 1998, the Board of Directors appointed W.
Allen Doane, president and CEO of A&B-Hawaii, Inc. (ABHI), to the additional
positions of president and CEO of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and elected him to
the Boards of Directors of A&B and Matson. R. J. Pfeiffer will continue as
Chairman of the Boards of A&B, Matson and ABHI.
YEAR 2000 INFORMATION AND READINESS DISCLOSURE ACT OF 1998
In 1995, the Company commenced an evaluation of its computer
systems and applications to prepare for the Year 2000. Following this
evaluation, implementation plans for all business segments were prepared and
are currently being executed. Programs that recognize "00" as a date other
than "2000" might result in data errors or system problems if not corrected
before December 31, 1999. Not all systems used by the Company are sensitive to
this issue. The work related to primary systems and applications, which have
the greatest risk of adversely affecting operations, should be substantially
complete by 1998 year-end. The Company is currently testing the corrected
systems for undetected program errors. In addition, the Company is continuing
work on correcting secondary support applications and applications in its
smaller business units to ensure that they will be Year 2000 compliant before
the end of 1999. The Company is working with primary vendors, customers,
lenders, suppliers and other appropriate third-parties to assess their
compliance efforts and the potential risks to the Company in the event that
they are not Year 2000 compliant. Staffing for the Year 2000 work is expected
to be adequate. Work on this project has not affected other systems-related
activities adversely. The implementation plans, which consist of upgrading,
modifying or replacing various systems, are expected to cost approximately
$6,000,000 to $8,000,000. During the first nine months of 1998, the Company
had expended approximately $3,000,000 for this work. The costs incurred in
connection with the Year 2000 compliance are being treated as an operating
expense, unless a system is being replaced for operating reasons as well as for
Year 2000 compliance, in which case costs are being capitalized. While the
Company believes that its systems and applications necessary to operate and
manage its businesses will be replaced, modified or upgraded in advance of
the Year 2000 and that the related costs will not have a material impact on
the operations, cash flows, financial condition or segment results of future
periods, it will not have certain knowledge of full compliance or adequacy of
contingency plans until the Year 2000.
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
The Company, from time to time, may make or may have made certain forward-
looking statements, whether orally or in writing, such as forecasts and
projections of the Company's future performance or statements of management's
plans and objectives. Such forward-looking statements may be contained in,
among other things, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, such as
the Forms 10-Q, press releases made by the Company and oral statements made by
the officers of the Company. Except for historical information contained in
these written or oral communications, such communications contain forward-
looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those projected in the statements, including, but not limited to: (1) economic
conditions in Hawaii and elsewhere; (2) market demand; (3) competitive factors
and pricing pressures in the Company's primary markets; (4) legislative and
regulatory environment at the federal, state and local levels, such as

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- ---------------------------
Matson Navigation Company, Inc. ("Matson") is subject to the jurisdiction
of the Surface Transportation Board ("Board"), an agency within the U.S.
Department of Transportation, with respect to its domestic rates. On
September 10, 1998, the government of the Territory of Guam filed a complaint
with the Board against Matson, Sea-Land Service, Inc. and American President
Lines, Ltd., alleging that the carriers charged unreasonable rates in the trade
between the U.S. mainland and Guam between January 1, 1991 and the present.
The complaint seeks in excess of $50 million in damages from the three
carriers. Matson did not enter the Guam trade until February of 1996 and, in
the two and a half years that it has served the trade, it has not filed a
general rate increase and has lowered many rates. All of Matson's rate
adjustments have been within the zone of reasonableness established by the
Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995 and, therefore, are
deemed reasonable. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of this
litigation will not have a material adverse impact on A&B's financial
condition.

WHEREAS, in light of (i) the Executive's long experience,
acknowledged leadership abilities, superior business acumen and sustained
excellence in serving for many years as Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer of A&B, and (ii) the high regard in which the Executive
is held by the Board of Directors (the "Board") and management of A&B, the
-----
Board has requested the Executive to assume Mr. Couch's positions and duties as

WHEREAS, the Executive has agreed to accept the Board's request that
he return to A&B on a full-time basis to serve in such positions, and the Board
is highly appreciative of the Executive's willingness to do so; and
WHEREAS, among the Executive's goals will be the mentoring of senior
executives of A&B and its subsidiaries and working with the Board to identify a

to return to his prior positions with A&B; and
WHEREAS, A&B and the Executive are parties to a Second Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement dated as of October 25, 1990 (the "1990
----

- ---------
performance by the Executive of his duties hereunder, is intended to and will
remain in full force and effect; and
WHEREAS, A&B and the Executive wish to set forth herein the terms

NOW, THEREFORE, A&B and the Executive agree as follows:

-----------------
which either party hereto gives a Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto, or on such other date as may be determined in accordance with Section 3
hereof (the "Term").
----
2. Terms of Employment.
-------------------
(a) 1990 Agreement. Notwithstanding the execution of this

-------------------------
(a) Death. The Executive's employment shall terminate automatically
-----
upon the Executive's death during the Term.
(b) Cause. A&B may terminate the Executive's employment during the
-----
Term for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean: (i) the
-----
willful failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties hereunder,
(ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct which is demonstrably
and materially injurious to A&B or its subsidiaries, monetarily or otherwise
or (iii) the Executive's conviction for the commission of a felony. Notwith-
standing the foregoing, for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section
3(b), the Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause
unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a
resolution, duly adopted by the affirmative vote of three-quarters of the
entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board duly called and held
for that purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity
for him, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that
in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was guilty of the conduct
set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 3(b), and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail. For purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of this
Section 3(b), no act, or failure to act, on the Executive's part shall be
deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in
good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive's act, or failure
to act, was in the best interest of A&B.
(c) Without Cause; Termination by the Executive. As set forth in
-------------------------------------------
Section 1 above, the Executive's employment may be terminated at any time
upon 30 days' prior written notice by A&B or by the Executive, in either
case, for any reason or no reason.
(d) Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive's
---------------------
employment hereunder by A&B or by the Executive shall be communicated
by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of
this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i)
---------------------
indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied
upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's
employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termina-
tion (as defined in Section 3(e) below) is other than the date of receipt of
such notice, specifies the termination date.
(e) Date of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, "Date of
------------------- -------
Termination" means (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated by A&B for
- -----------
Cause, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date
specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive's employment is
terminated by A&B other than for Cause or by the Executive, the Date of
Termination shall be the date specified in this Notice of Termination and (iii)
if the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of death, the Date of
Termination shall be the date of death.
4. Obligations of A&B upon Termination.
------------------------------------
(a) Death; Other than for Cause. If, during the Term, A&B shall
---------------------------
terminate the Executive's employment other than for Cause or the
Executive's employment shall terminate by reason of the Executive's death, A&B
shall pay to the Executive (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to six months'
base salary (inclusive of accrued vacation pay, if any), (ii) the Executive's
salary to the Date of Termination ("Accrued Obligations") and (iii) all
-------------------
compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any
compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by A&B, to the
extent then unpaid ("Other Benefits").
--------------
(b) Cause; Termination by the Executive. If the Executive's
-----------------------------------
employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Executive for
any reason during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further
obligations to the Executive, other than the obligation to pay or provide to
the Executive (i) the Accrued Obligations, (ii) the Other Benefits and (iii)
accrued vacation pay, if any.
5. Full Settlement. A&B's obligation to make the payments provided
---------------
for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall
not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
claim, right or action which A&B may have against the Executive or others. In
no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any
other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under
any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced
whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.
6. Successors.
----------
(a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the
prior written consent of A&B shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's legal
representatives.
(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
A&B and its successors and assigns.
(c) A&B will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of
the business and/or assets of A&B to assume expressly and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that A&B would be required
to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this
Agreement, "A&B" shall mean A&B as hereinbefore defined and any successor to
---
its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this
Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

with the laws of the State of Hawaii, without reference to principles of
conflict of laws. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the
