                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
Castle & Cooke, Inc. (the Company), without audit, and include all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and March
31, 1995, respectively, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures in such
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1995, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company was formed on October 10, 1995 to be the successor of the assets 
and related liabilities of the real estate and resorts business of Dole Food 
Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Dole"). On December 28, 1995, Dole 
completed the separation of its real estate and resorts business from its 
food business through a pro rata distribution to its shareholders.

The consolidated statements of operations and cash flows contained herein 
prior to December 28, 1995 are those of Dole and have been prepared on the 
basis that the assets and liabilities of the real estate and resorts business 
were transferred using historical carrying values as recorded by Dole and 
present the Company's results of operations and cash flows as derived from 
Dole's historical financial statements.

The Company's operating results are subject to significant variability as a
result of, among other things, the receipt of regulatory approvals, status of
development in particular projects and the timing of sales in developed
projects.  The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Operating results for 1995 have been restated to reflect results from January 1,
1995 to March 31, 1995. Results were previously reported for the former 
parent's fiscal quarter ending March 25, 1995.

NOTE 2.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries are contingently liable as joint indemnitors 
to surety companies for subdivision, off-site improvement and construction 
bonds issued on their behalf.

The Company is a defendant in several lawsuits arising in the normal course 
of business. In the opinion of management, the final resolution of these 
lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or 
results of operations.

                  ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

Consolidated revenues decreased from $81.7 million in 1995 to $77.1 million 
in 1996.  Residential property sales decreased from $59.5 million in 1995 to 
$46.1 million in 1996 primarily due to the sale of an apartment complex in 
Bakersfield for $15 million in 1995.  First quarter deliveries in 1996 
included 141 homes and 167 lots, compared to deliveries of 145 homes and 64 
lots in 1995.  The average price per home was $279,000 in 1996 and 1995.  
Resort revenues increased 52% to $19.3 million in 1996 from $12.7 million in 
1995.  This increase was primarily due to improved occupancy and room rates 
at the resorts and the sale of four luxury villas at Koele.

COST AND EXPENSES

Consolidated cost of operations decreased from $80.0 million in 1995 to $72.4 
million in 1996.  The cost of residential property sales decreased from $51.8 
million in 1995 to $41.0 million in 1996 primarily due to the cost of the 
apartment complex sold in Bakersfield ($14.6 million).  Excluding the 
apartment complex sale, the cost of residential property sales as a 
percentage of residential property sales increased from 84% in 1995 to 89% in 
1996.  This increase is primarily due to aggressive marketing programs and 
sales incentives in Oahu.  The incentives have been necessary to stimulate 
activity in the soft market and have led to decreased earnings compared to 
the prior year despite a similar number of closings. The cost of resort 
operations increased from $18.9 million in 1995 to $20.4 million in 1996 
primarily due to the cost related to increased occupancy at the hotels and 
the sale of four luxury villas at Koele, partially offset by a reduction in 
depreciation.  The cost of resort operations as a percentage of resort 
revenues improved from 149% in 1995 to 106% in 1996 primarily due to a 
decrease in depreciation expense that resulted from the $168 million 
writedown of long-lived assets recorded in the third quarter of 1995.  In 
addition, a significant portion of the resort operation's costs are fixed 
and, accordingly, do not increase proportionately as occupancy and resort 
revenues increase. The cost of commercial and other operations as a 
percentage of commercial revenues decreased from 72% in 1995 to 67% in 1996 
primarily due to the fact that a significant portion of commercial and other 
costs are fixed and generally do not increase proportionately with revenues.

Consolidated general and administrative costs increased from $2.4 million in 
1995 to $3.2 million primarily due to increased corporate expenses in 1996 
which were previously absorbed by the Company's former parent in 1995 and to 
additional corporate costs incurred as a separate, publicly held company in 
1996.

Total interest expense in the first quarter of 1996 was $3.6 million of which 
$2.6 million was capitalized into real estate developments.  The increase in 
interest expense is due to the debt incurred in connection with the Company's 
separation from its former parent in December of 1995.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income available to common shareholders increased 18% from $1.4 million 
in 1995 to $1.6 million in 1996.  This increase was due to a reduced 
operating loss from the resort operations partially offset by the 10% 
cumulative preferred stock dividend and accretion.  The dividend relates to 
the cumulative preferred stock issued in connection with the Company's 
separation from its former parent in December of 1995.

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)

The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 39.5% in 1996 from 41% in
1995.  This decrease is due to a lower effective tax rate subsequent to the
Company's separation from its former parent in December of 1995.

BACKLOG

The Company's new orders and backlog for homes for 1996 compared to 1995 were as

The increase in new orders in 1996 resulted primarily from special incentive 
programs offered by the Company in Oahu.

                  ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Castle requires capital to operate its resorts, purchase and develop land,
construct homes and homesites and to acquire, develop and operate commercial
property.

In connection with the separation from its former parent company in December 
of 1995, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with a syndicate of 
banks pursuant to which the banks will provide the Company a three year 
revolving Credit Facility of up to $240 million until March 1997 at which 
time the Credit Facility will be reduced to $140 million.  The Credit 
Facility bears interest at a variable rate based on the London Interbank 
Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or at an alternative rate based upon a designated 
Bank's prime rate or the federal funds rate.  At March 31, 1996, total 
borrowings under this facility were $177 million and the weighted average 
interest rate was 7.2%.

During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company generated $8.6 million
in net funds from operating activities, as compared to the corresponding period
in 1995 during which the Company generated $2.8 million.  The increase is
primarily due to the timing of development expenditures at the Hawaii
residential operations and resort operations.

The Company believes that funds available under the revolving Credit Facility
and cash generated from operations combined with selective sales of commercial
and other properties from time to time will be adequate for its short-term and
long-term cash needs.
