PART I
ITEM 1. Business
--------
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 of
Delaware 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 (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 Trust has no employees.
Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (the Company), holds all of the Trust Common
Securities. The Company was incorporated in 1981 under the laws of the State of
Hawaii and is a holding company with subsidiaries engaged in the electric
utility, savings bank and other businesses, primarily in the State of Hawaii,
and also engaged in the pursuit of independent power and integrated energy
services projects in Asia and the Pacific. The Company's predecessor, Hawaiian
Electric Company, Inc. (HECO), was incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of
Hawaii (now the State of Hawaii) on October 13, 1891. As a result of a 1983
corporate reorganization, HECO became a subsidiary of the Company, and common
shareholders of HECO became common shareholders of the Company. The Company
(File No. 1-8503) is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thus files reports, proxy statements and
other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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
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 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 Trust's 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. All of the foregoing activities of
the Trust occurred in or after February 1997.

Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trust I
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Organization and purpose
- ----------------------------
Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trust I (the Trust) is a statutory business
trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 19, 1996 for
the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing its 8.36% Trust Originated Preferred
Securities (TOPrS) and its 8.36% Common Securities (the Trust Preferred
Securities and the Trust Common Securities, respectively), (ii) purchasing the
8.36% Partnership Preferred Securities (the Partnership Preferred Securities),
representing the limited partner interests in HEI Preferred Funding, LP (the
Partnership), with the proceeds from the sale of Trust Preferred Securities and
Common Securities, and (iii) engaging in only those other activities necessary
or incidental thereto.
Hycap Management, Inc. (Hycap), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric
Industries, Inc. (the Company) and sole general partner of the Partnership, has
paid compensation to the underwriters in connection with the offering of the
Trust Preferred Securities, which closed on February 4, 1997. The Company or
Hycap has paid all expenses relating to the issuance of the securities and the
operation of the Trust. Thus, these expenses of the Trust are not reflected on
the Trust's financial statements. The Company has agreed to (i) pay all fees and
expenses related to the organization and operations of the Trust (including
taxes, duties, assessments, or government charges of whatever nature (other than
withholding taxes) imposed by the United States or any other domestic taxing
authority upon the Trust) and the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities,
(ii) be responsible for all debts and other obligations of the Trust (other than
with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities)
and (iii) indemnify the trustees and certain other persons. The Company has
invested capital in Hycap as needed.
(2) Summary of significant accounting policies
- ----------------------------------------------
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. 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.
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
