        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------
Cash flow from financing activities increased to $144 million for the first
quarter of 1994 from $110 million for the same period in 1993, in order to fund
higher investing activities and meet operating requirements.  Approximately $55
million of cash was used in operations during the first quarter of 1994, largely
related to seasonally high receivables. The Company's external borrowings were
higher during the first quarter of 1994 than the comparable period in 1993,
which included proceeds generated by the March 1993 initial public offering of
18% of the common stock of Castle & Cooke Homes, Inc., the Company's residential
real estate development company.

At March 26, 1994, net borrowings outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit
totaled approximately $548 million.  The Company has additional borrowing
capacity under a $400 million, 364-day revolving credit facility.  There were no
borrowings outstanding under this credit facility at March 26, 1994.

In addition, Castle & Cooke Homes, Inc. had borrowings of $47 million under a
$100 million revolving credit facility which requires a series of reductions in
committed borrowing capacity as follows: $10 million on each of March 31, 1994,
September 30, 1994 and March 31, 1995; and $20 million on September 30, 1995.
The agreement terminates in March 1996.

Cash and short-term investments totaled approximately $51 million at March 26,
1994.

Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 1994 totaled approximately $46
million, of which $39 million was invested in the Company's food operations for
infrastructure, further development and modernization of new and existing
facilities, and progress payments on new vessels. In February 1994, the Company
acquired three commercial real estate properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------
Net income for the first quarter of 1994 was $29.7 million, or 50 cents per
share, compared to 1993 first quarter net income of $53.3 million (89 cents per
share) which included a 1993 pretax gain of approximately $31 million related to
the sale of 18% of the common stock of Castle & Cooke Homes, Inc.

Revenues for the first quarter of 1994 grew 7% from $766 million in 1993 to $819
million in 1994, primarily attributable to the effects of acquisitions which
occurred in 1993.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- - ---------------------------------

Consolidated gross margins as a percentage of revenue were comparable during the
first quarters of 1994 and 1993, reflecting reduced operating expense levels for
certain food operations as a result of the Company's cost reduction efforts,
offset by lower margins for certain food operations which experienced price
pressures during the first quarter of 1994.

Operating income for the Company's food operations, net of corporate general and
administrative expenses, totaled $50.5 million in the first quarter of both 1994
and 1993.  Earnings for bananas improved over the prior year's first quarter
primarily due to a stronger market in Europe and the effects of the Company's
cost reduction efforts.  This improvement was primarily offset by sharply lower
lettuce and celery prices. Price pressures continued to negatively affect canned
pineapple and concentrate earnings.  Selling, marketing and administrative
expenses in the first quarter of 1994 were higher than the previous year due to
the effects of 1993 acquisitions, plus additional spending for new products and
marketing programs for the fresh vegetable and packaged foods operations which
more than offset savings achieved through cost reduction measures.  Worldwide
banana markets are continuing to adjust to the European Community banana
regulations.  Price pressures are expected to persist on canned pineapple and
concentrate.

Operating income for Castle & Cooke Homes, Inc. totaled $9.7 million in the
first quarter of 1994, compared to $13.0 million for the same period of 1993.
The decrease was attributable to a change in the overall sales mix which
resulted in a lower average sales price and operating margin in the first
quarter of 1994 compared to the first quarter of 1993.  In addition, results for
1993 included a bulk land sale in Bakersfield, California.

The Lana'i resorts operations reported improved occupancy rates for both hotels
resulting in a reduced first quarter operating loss before depreciation of $3.4
million in 1994 as compared to a $4.8 million loss in 1993. Depreciation expense
was $4.2 million and $4.0 million for 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Interest expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, increased to
$15.5 million for the first quarter of 1994 from $13.8 million in 1993, as a
result of higher average borrowing levels and higher borrowing rates in 1994.
The higher weighted average borrowing rate in 1994 was primarily the result of
refinancing outstanding floating rate bank debt with public bonds during May and
July of 1993, issued at an average interest rate of approximately 7%.  The
issuance of these bonds allowed the Company to extend its average debt maturity,
diversify its funding sources and reduce its exposure to higher interest rates
on variable rate debt.
