NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1998
(Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Basis of presentation
- --------------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete
financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in Hawaiian
Electric Industries Capital Trust I's Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. In preparing the Trust's financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts
of earnings for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those
estimates.
In the opinion of the management of Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trust I
(the Trust), the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all
material adjustments required by GAAP to present fairly the Trust's financial
position as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the
period February 4, 1997 (inception) to March 31, 1997. All such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q or
other referenced material. The Trust was formed under Delaware law on December
19, 1996, but engaged in no activity until it was capitalized through the
issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities and Trust Common Securities on
February 4, 1997 (inception) with the proceeds from the sale of the Trust
Preferred Securities and the Common Securities.

ITEM 2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of operations
- -------------
Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trust I (the Trust) is a statutory business
trust formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act, as amended, pursuant to a
trust agreement and a certificate of trust filed with the Secretary of State on
December 19, 1996. The Trust Agreement was subsequently amended by an amended
and restated trust agreement dated as of February 1, 1997. The Trust exists for
the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing trust securities, consisting of 8.36%
Trust Originated Preferred Securities (the Trust Preferred Securities) and trust
common securities (the Trust Common Securities), representing undivided
beneficial ownership interests in the assets of the Trust, (ii) investing the
gross proceeds of the trust securities in 8.36% Partnership Preferred Securities
(the Partnership Preferred Securities) issued by HEI Preferred Funding, LP (the
Partnership), and (iii) engaging in only those other activities necessary or
incidental thereto.
The Partnership is a limited partnership formed under the Delaware Revised
Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended, pursuant to an agreement of limited
partnership and the filing of a certificate of limited partnership with the
Secretary of State of Delaware on December 23, 1996, which was subsequently
amended by an amended and restated agreement of limited partnership dated as of
February 1, 1997. Hycap Management, Inc. (Hycap), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (the Company), is the sole general partner of
the Partnership. The Partnership is managed by the general partner and exists
for the exclusive purposes of (a) purchasing certain eligible debt instruments
of the Company and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively,
the Affiliate Investment Instruments) and certain U.S. government obligations
and commercial paper of unaffiliated entities (Eligible Debt Securities) with
the proceeds from (i) the sale of its Partnership Preferred Securities,
representing limited partner interests in the Partnership, to the Trust and (ii)
a capital contribution in exchange for the general partner interest in the
Partnership, (b) receiving interest and other payments on the Affiliate
Investment Instruments and the Eligible Debt Securities held by the Partnership
from time to time, (c) making distributions on the Partnership Preferred
Securities and
6
<PAGE>
distributions on the general partner interest in the Partnership if, as, and
when declared by the general partner in its sole discretion, (d) subject to the
restrictions and conditions contained in the agreement of limited partnership,
making additional investments in Affiliate Investment Instruments and Eligible
Debt Securities and disposing of any such investments, and (e) except as
otherwise limited in the agreement of limited partnership, entering into, making
and performing all contracts and other undertakings, and engaging in those
activities and transactions as the general partner deems necessary or advisable
for carrying out the purposes of the Partnership.
The Registrants' activities are limited to issuing securities and investing the
proceeds as described above. Since the Trust was organized on December 19, 1996,
its activities, as specified in its declaration of trust, have been limited to
the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities,
the investing of the proceeds in the Partnership Preferred Securities, and the
payment of distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common
Securities in accordance with their terms. Since the Partnership was organized
on December 23, 1996, its activities, as specified in its agreement of limited
partnership, have been limited to the issuance of the Partnership Preferred
Securities, the receipt of a capital contribution from Hycap, as general
partner, the investment of the proceeds from the sale of the Partnership
Preferred Securities and the general partner interest in the Affiliate
Investment Instruments and Eligible Debt Securities, and the payment of
distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities. All of the foregoing
activities of the Trust and the Partnership occurred in or after February 1997.
All expenses of organizing the Trust and the Partnership, carrying out the
issuance of their respective securities, and conducting their limited activities
have been borne by the Company, either directly or through Hycap, its wholly
owned subsidiary.
