DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
A. OCEAN TRANSPORTATION
--------------------
(1) FREIGHT SERVICES
----------------
Matson's Hawaii Service offers containership freight services
between the ports of Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, and the major ports in
Hawaii, which are located on the islands of Oahu, Kauai, Maui and Hawaii.
Roll-on/roll-off service is provided between Los Angeles and the major ports in
Hawaii. Portland container cargo is moved overland between Portland and
Seattle at no extra charge.
Matson is the principal carrier of ocean cargo between the
United States Pacific Coast and Hawaii. In 1995, Matson carried 157,200
containers (compared with 173,300 containers in 1994) and 107,100 motor
vehicles (compared with 116,800 in 1994) between those destinations. Principal
westbound cargoes carried by Matson to Hawaii include dry containers of mixed
commodities, refrigerated cargoes, packaged foods, building materials and motor
vehicles. Principal eastbound cargoes carried by Matson from Hawaii include
household goods, canned pineapple, refrigerated containers of fresh pineapple,
motor vehicles and molasses. The preponderance of Matson's revenue is derived
from the westbound carriage of containerized freight and motor vehicles.
Matson's Pacific Coast Service provides containership freight
service between the ports of Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle and Vancouver,
British Columbia. In 1995, its first full year of operation, Matson carried
26,278 containers in the Pacific Coast Service. Matson's Mid-Pacific Service
offers container and conventional freight service between the United States
Pacific Coast and the ports of Kwajalein, Ebeye and Majuro in the Republic of
the Marshall Islands and Johnston Island, all via Honolulu.
In February 1996, Matson inaugurated its Guam-Micronesia
Service, which complements Matson's Hawaii Service by providing westbound
containership freight service from the United States Pacific Coast and Hawaii
to Guam and Micronesia. The new service is a component of a strategic alliance
formed in 1995 between Matson and American President Lines, Ltd. ("APL"),
pursuant to which they commenced operating, beginning February 1996, a new
Pacific Alliance Service between the United States Pacific Coast and Hawaii,
Guam, Japan, and South Korea. Under the terms of the alliance, Matson
purchased from APL six containerships, shoreside spare parts and assets related
to APL's Guam service in December 1995 and early 1996 for $168 million, will
operate four of those vessels and one existing Matson vessel in the Pacific
Alliance Service, and will charter back to APL for 10 years cargo space for
APL's continuing ocean cargo service from Asian ports to the United States.
The new service is expected to improve Matson's vessel utilization on the
eastbound return trip of Matson's Hawaii Service, thereby resulting in cost
savings.
See "Rate Regulation" below with respect to Matson's freight
rates.
(2) VESSELS
-------
Matson's fleet consists of eleven containerships (including
the six containerships purchased from APL), four combination
container/trailerships, one roll-on/roll-off barge, two container barges
equipped with cranes which serve the neighbor islands of Hawaii and one con-
tainer barge equipped with cranes in the Mid-Pacific Service.
The nineteen vessels in Matson's fleet represent an invest-
ment of approximately $814,300,000 during the past 26 years. With four
exceptions, the current fleet has been acquired through the Matson Capital
Construction Fund, established under Section 607 of the Merchant Marine Act,
1936, as amended. The exceptions are three steam-powered containerships
purchased from APL in 1995 and 1996, and a combination container/trailership
which Matson continues to operate under a charter for a 25-year term ending in
1998, with options to renew the charter for a total of up to five years and to
purchase the vessel at the end of the charter at fair market value.
Matson's fleet units are described in the list on the
following page.

As a complement to its fleet, Matson owns or has under
capital leases approximately 17,400 containers, 8,500 container chassis, 480
auto-frames and miscellaneous other equipment. After disposing of older
container equipment and adding equipment purchased for the new Guam-Micronesia
Service, Matson expects to have 18,500 containers and 8,960 chassis at the end
of 1996. Capital expenditures by Matson for vessels and equipment totaled
approximately $45,700,000 in 1995.
(3) TERMINALS
---------
Matson Terminals, Inc. ("Matson Terminals"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Matson, provides container stevedoring, container equipment
maintenance and other terminal services for Matson at the ports of Honolulu,
Los Angeles, Oakland and Seattle, as well as for other ocean carriers at its
Pacific Coast and Honolulu locations.
Matson Terminals is among the largest container stevedoring
and terminal operators on the United States Pacific Coast. An estimated total
of 1,236 vessel calls were served at all Matson Terminals container facilities
in 1995.
Matson Terminals owns or leases the shoreside cranes and
supporting container-handling equipment at its container facilities and owns
all of the maintenance equipment used in providing container equipment and
terminal maintenance services.
Matson Terminals has lease agreements with port authorities
for the use of publicly-owned container terminal properties at Honolulu, Los
Angeles, Oakland and Seattle. Matson Terminals does not anticipate any
difficulty in renewing its lease agreements as they expire or in finding
satisfactory alternative premises. Current terminal lease agreements expire as
follows:
Honolulu September 2016
Los Angeles January 1999
Oakland December 2008
Seattle December 1999, subject to an option to
renew for ten years
Capital expenditures for terminals and equipment totaled
approximately $1,700,000 in 1995.
(4) CONTAINER LEASING
-----------------
In June 1995, Matson Leasing Company, Inc. ("Matson Leasing")
sold substantially all of its assets for $362 million, thereby exiting the
international marine container leasing business. The proceeds from the sale of
the Matson Leasing business were used principally to repay debt, to pay tax
obligations and to fund the capital needs of Matson.
(5) OTHER SERVICES
--------------
Matson Intermodal System, Inc. ("Matson Intermodal"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson, was formed in 1987 to serve as an intermodal
marketing company which arranges United States Mainland rail and truck
transportation for shippers and carriers, frequently in conjunction with prior
or subsequent ocean transportation.
Matson Services Company, Inc. ("Matson Services"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson, owns two tugboats which are employed in
Hawaiian waters under operating agreements to provide harbor assistance for
vessels calling at the islands of Hawaii and Maui.
(6) COMPETITION
-----------
Matson's Hawaii and Guam-Micronesia Services have one major
containership competitor which serves Long Beach, Oakland, Tacoma, Honolulu and
Guam. Other competitors in the Hawaii Service include two common carrier barge
services, unregulated proprietary and contract carriers of bulk cargoes and air
cargo services.
Matson vessels are operated on schedules which make available
to shippers and consignees regular day-of-the-week sailings from the United
States Pacific Coast and day-of-the-week arrivals to Hawaii, a type of service
that is very attractive to customers because it decreases their overall
distribution costs. In addition, Matson competes by offering more comprehen-
sive service to customers, supported by its scope of equipment and its
efficiency and experience in the handling of containerized cargoes, and by
competitive pricing. Although air freight competition is intense for time-
sensitive or perishable cargoes, historic and projected inroads of such
competition in cargo volume are limited by the amount of cargo space available
in passenger aircraft and by generally higher air freight rates.
The carriage of cargo between the United States Pacific Coast
and Hawaii on foreign-built and foreign-documented vessels is prohibited by
Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920, frequently referred to as the
Jones Act. However, foreign-flag vessels bringing cargo to Hawaii from foreign
sources provide indirect competition for Matson's container freight service
between the United States Pacific Coast and Hawaii. Far East countries,
Australia and New Zealand have direct foreign-flag services to Hawaii.
In response to coordinated efforts by various interests to
convince Congress to repeal the Jones Act, a coalition of more than 400
businesses and organizations, including Matson, have formed the Maritime
Cabotage Task Force to support the retention of the Jones Act and other
cabotage laws. Repeal of the Jones Act would allow all foreign-flag vessel
operators, who would not have to abide by U.S. laws and regulations, to sail
between American ports in direct competition with Matson and other U.S.
operators who must comply with such laws and regulations. The task force seeks
to inform elected officials and the public about the economic, national
security, commercial, safety and environmental benefits of the Jones Act and
similar cabotage laws.
Matson Terminals competes with numerous other companies which
perform the same or similar services. The container stevedoring and terminal
services business is extremely competitive. The primary considerations of
ocean carriers when selecting stevedore and terminal operators are rates,
quality of service, expertise and reputation. The industry is highly capital-
intensive because of the need for expensive container-handling equipment.
Matson Intermodal competes for freight with a number of large
and small companies engaged in intermodal transportation. Matson Services
competes with other large operators of tugboats in Hawaiian waters.
(7) LABOR RELATIONS
---------------
The absence of strikes and the availability of labor through
hiring halls are important to maintenance of profitable operations by Matson.
Matson's operations have not been disrupted significantly by strikes in the
past 24 years. See "Employees and Labor Relations" below for a description of
labor agreements and certain unfunded liabilities for multi-employer pension
plans to which Matson and Matson Terminals contribute.
(8) RATE REGULATION
---------------
In November 1995, Matson filed a 3.8 percent general rate
increase for the Hawaii Service that became effective on January 28, 1996.
The Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995 (the
"Act"), which took effect on January 1, 1996, will substantially revise
regulation of water common carriers, like Matson, which operate between the
U.S. Mainland and domestic offshore states and territories.
Previously, Matson was regulated by the Federal Maritime
Commission ("FMC") with respect to port-to-port service rates, as well as by
the Interstate Commerce Commission ("ICC") to the extent of Matson's joint
rates with motor carriers.
The Act will end bifurcated regulation by the FMC and ICC of
water carriers providing service in the domestic offshore trades. The Act has
established within the United States Department of Transportation a new agency,
the Surface Transportation Board ("STB"). The STB will have jurisdiction over
both water carriers and motor carriers providing service in the domestic
offshore trades.
Carriers under STB jurisdiction must file rates with the STB and
charge only those rates. The Act establishes a Zone of Reasonableness ("ZOR")
which, as adjusted by reference to the Producer Price Index, will allow annual
increases not exceeding 7.5% and rate reductions not exceeding 10%, measured
against the rate in effect one year before the change. Rates which qualify for
ZOR treatment are deemed reasonable and are not subject to investigation or
suspension. Rates outside the ZOR also must be reasonable, but no regulations
have been proposed for determining reasonableness.
B. PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT
-----------------------------------
(1) GENERAL
-------
The property development and management operations of A&B are
conducted by ABHI, a wholly-owned subsidiary headquartered in Honolulu. A&B
and its subsidiaries own approximately 92,784 acres of land, consisting of
approximately 90,744 acres in Hawaii and approximately 2,040 acres elsewhere,
as follows:
LOCATION NO. OF ACRES
-------- ------------
Maui .................................. 68,840
Kauai ................................. 21,904
California ............................ 1,950
Colorado .............................. 5
Nevada ................................ 18
Texas ................................. 42
Washington ............................ 22
Florida ............................... 3
As described more fully in the table below, the bulk of this acreage currently
is used for agricultural and related activities, and includes pasture land
leased to ranchers, watershed and conservation reserves. The balance is used
or planned for development or other urban uses. An additional 19,000 acres on
Maui and Kauai are leased from third parties.
CURRENT USE NO. OF ACRES
----------- ------------
Sugarcane/coffee cultivation and
contributory purposes ........................... 44,377
Watershed and conservation ......................... 28,500
Other agricultural and pasture land ................ 16,678
Hawaii commercial and industrial land .............. 494
Hawaii residential, including land
zoned for hotel and apartment use ............... 695
------
Total in Hawaii ............................... 90,744
------
California ranch land............................... 1,901
U.S. Mainland commercial and
industrial land ................................. 139
------
TOTAL ......................................... 92,784
======
ABHI is actively involved in the entire spectrum of land
development, including planning, zoning, financing, constructing, purchasing,
managing and leasing, and selling and exchanging real property.
(2) PLANNING AND ZONING
-------------------
The entitlement process for development of property in Hawaii
is both time-consuming and costly, involving numerous State and County
regulatory approvals. For example, conversion of an agriculturally-zoned
parcel to residential zoning usually requires the following approvals:
- amendment of the County general plan to reflect the desired residential
use;
- approval by the State Land Use Commission to reclassify the parcel from
the "agricultural" district to the "urban" district;
- County approval to rezone the property to the precise residential use
desired; and,
- if the parcel is located in the Coastal Zone Management area, the
granting of a Special Management Area Permit by the County Planning Com-
mission.
The entitlement process is complicated by the conditions, restrictions and
exactions that are placed on these approvals, such as the construction of
infrastructure improvements, payment of impact fees, restrictions on the
permitted uses of the land, provision of affordable housing, and/or mandatory
fee sale of portions of the project.
ABHI actively works with regulatory agencies, commissions and
legislative bodies at various levels of government to obtain zoning
reclassification of land to its highest and best use. ABHI designates a parcel
as "fully-zoned" when all necessary government approvals have been obtained.
Approximately 1,189 acres of property currently are designated fully-zoned.
As described in more detail below, work to obtain entitle-
ments for urban use in 1995 focused on (i) the Kukui'ula residential develop-
ment on Kauai, (ii) the proposed master-planned community at Pilot Hill Ranch
in California, and (iii) obtaining Community Plan designations for various ABHI
lands on Maui. With regard to item (iii), ABHI continues to participate
actively in Maui County's decennial update of its Community Plans, a process
that began in 1992. The Community Plans serve to guide planning development
activity over the next decade. ABHI is seeking various urban designations for
its undeveloped lands within the following four Community Plans where most of
its Maui lands are located: Pa'ia-Haiku Community Plan, Kihei-Makena Community
Plan, Wailuku-Kahului Community Plan, and Makawao-Pukalani-Kula ("Upcountry")
Community Plan.
In 1994, the Maui County Council adopted the Pa'ia-Haiku
Community Plan. This Plan reflected the designation of approximately 190 acres
of ABHI lands for business and residential use, the conversion of approximately
80 acres of previously existing residential and business designations to
agricultural use, and the retention of approximately 45 acres of residential
and industrial designations. Adoption of the remaining three Community Plans
by the Maui County Council is expected in 1996 and 1997.
(3) RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
--------------------
ABHI is pursuing a number of residential projects in Hawaii
and on the U.S. Mainland, in particular:
(A) KUKUI'ULA. On Kauai, construction activity at the
---------
1,000-acre Kukui'ula project continues to be suspended as a result of weak
economic conditions on Kauai. The Kukui'ula project is envisioned to be the
first planned residential community on the island of Kauai. It currently is
expected to include up to 3,000 dwelling units, as well as an 18-hole golf
course, a small boat marina, commercial areas, schools and parks. Construction
of the wastewater treatment plant, mass grading and drainage, and certain road-
way improvements were completed in 1993.
In 1995, ABHI continued its efforts to obtain revised
entitlements to the Kukui'ula project, consistent with ABHI's revisions to the
project's master plan to address hurricane inundation risks and market
considerations. In May 1995, the State Land Use Commission approved urban
classification for an additional 822 acres. As a result, the entire 1,045-acre
project is now classified as urban. The initial increment of 727 acres is
immediately available for development, while the remaining 318 acres is
conditionally designated urban, subject to a showing that substantial progress
has been made on providing infrastructure to the initial increment. In
December 1995, the County of Kauai approved an ordinance rezoning the initial
increment of 727 acres to provide a mix of residential, commercial, golf
course, park and other uses, consistent with ABHI's plans to develop a planned
residential community.
The approvals described above complete ABHI's program to
obtain revised entitlements to the Kukui'ula project. However, renewal of
construction activity awaits improvement of the current economic conditions,
especially housing demand, on Kauai.
(B) ELEELE NANI II. Also on Kauai, sales at ABHI's Eleele
--------------
Nani II development, consisting of 146 single-family lots on 27 acres,
continued during 1995. Sales of four lots closed in 1995, leaving only six
lots available for sale.
(C) KU'AU BAYVIEW SUBDIVISION (FKA MAKANA SUBDIVISION). In
--------------------------------------------------
1995, the construction plans for this 92-house-and-lot, single-family
subdivision in Pa'ia, Maui, were approved and sitework construction commenced.
The sitework and two model homes are expected to be completed in March 1996,
and construction of the first for-sale homes is expected to be completed by
mid-1996. ABHI's original joint venture for the development of this project
was terminated in 1995, and the project is being developed solely by ABHI.
(D) HAIKU MAUKA. Also on Maui, Haiku Mauka, a 92-acre, 39-
-----------
lot agricultural lot residential subdivision, experienced 22 lot sales in 1995.
A total of 32 lots have been sold since marketing of this project began in
September 1994.
(E) KAHULUI IKENA. Kahului Ikena, a 102-unit, market-
-------------
priced condominium project in Kahului, Maui, was completed in June 1995.
Marketing of the units began in July 1995, and 24 units have been sold since
then.
(F) PILOT HILL RANCH. On January 23, 1996, the El Dorado
----------------
County Board of Supervisors adopted the new General Plan for El Dorado County,
near Sacramento, California. The new General Plan incorporates ABHI's devel-
opment plan proposals for the Pilot Hill Ranch project. Pilot Hill Ranch is
intended to be developed as a 1,800-acre planned residential community,
consisting of approximately 980 single- and multi-family homes, a golf course,
parks and 20 acres of commercial development. In February 1996, a lawsuit was
filed to block implementation of the General Plan. The impact of this lawsuit
is uncertain at this time.
(4) COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
------------------------------------
An important source of property revenue is the lease rental
income A&B and its subsidiaries receive from various ground leases on
11,000 acres of land (including agricultural and pasture lands) and leases of
2,678,000 square feet of industrial and commercial building space.
(A) HAWAII COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
---------------------------------------
In Hawaii, most of the income-producing commercial and indus-
trial properties owned by A&B and its subsidiaries are located in the central
Kahului area of Maui. These properties consist primarily of two shopping
centers and two office buildings, as well as several separate commercial and
industrial properties, as follows:

In addition to the above-described properties, a number of
other commercial and industrial projects are being developed on Maui and Kauai,
including:
(1) TRIANGLE SQUARE. Development continues at
---------------
Triangle Square, an 11-acre retail/commercial complex in Kahului, Maui. In
January 1995, the Apex Building, containing 28,000 square feet, was completed
and is currently being tenanted by retail users. Also, three lots have been
leased so far. Additional ground leases and construction are planned for the
balance of Triangle Square, with marketing activity in progress in 1996.
(2) MAUI BUSINESS PARK (FKA KAHULUI INDUSTRIAL PARK).
------------------------------------------------
Sitework construction at the 42-acre first subphase of the Maui Business Park,
a light industrial commercial subdivision located near Maui's primary airport
and harbor, commenced in the second quarter of 1995. By year-end, 75% of the
onsite construction work and 50% of the offsite work were completed, with final
completion scheduled for April and December 1996, respectively. In 1995, five
and one-half acres were sold and 14-1/2 acres were leased to a Hawaii-based
developer who will be constructing a 275,000-square-foot value retail shopping
center on the 20 acres. Some of the tenants that have signed leases for the
shopping center include Sports Authority, Border's Bookstore, Eagle Hardware
and Office Max. Marketing of the 32 lots comprising the 22-acre balance of
Maui Business Park's first subphase commenced in the last quarter of 1995.
The sale of three lots closed in December 1995, and in January 1996 three lots
were leased to a self-storage warehouse developer.
(3) PORT ALLEN INDUSTRIAL SUBDIVISION. On Kauai,
---------------------------------
sales of four industrial lots closed in 1995. One lot remains available for
sale.
(B) U.S. MAINLAND COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL
-----------------------------------
PROPERTIES
----------
On the U.S. Mainland, A&B and its subsidiaries own a port-
folio of commercial and industrial properties comprising a total of approxi-
mately 2.2 million square feet of leasable area, as follows:

The Great Southwest Industrial property in Dallas, Texas
benefited from a strong leasing market, achieving a 99% occupancy rate in 1995.
The resurgence of new construction in the area will increase the amount of com-
petitive space, but should have minimal impact on the property in 1996, due to
few lease expirations.
Washington State's stable economy is expected to continue to
benefit A&B's three Seattle-area properties. The 4225 Roosevelt Building and
Island Village Shopping Center (fka Winslow Village Shopping Center) are
operating at 100% occupancy. Strong interest is present for space which will
become available in the Valley Freeway Corporate Park in 1996.
In California, both the Cupertino and Fremont markets have
improved significantly. Digital Equipment Corporation ("DEC") has subleased the
146,000 square feet of available space in the DEC Facility to a major corporate
tenant through August 1997, which coincides with the end of DEC's lease term.
Negotiations currently are taking place with such tenant for a direct lease
that would expire in August 2000. Advance lease negotiations have been
initiated for the Spinnaker II property, located in Fremont. Moulton Plaza,
located in Laguna Hills, is being challenged by new retail developments in the
area. Reconfiguration and retenanting of this center are planned for 1996.
In June 1995, A&B acquired the Airport Square and Market Square
shopping centers. These acquisitions completed the tax-deferred exchange,
pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, that was initiated with
the sale of Arapahoe Marketplace in December 1994.
Overall occupancy rates for the U.S. Mainland leased property
portfolio averaged 97% in 1995, the same level as in 1994. Overall occupancy
rates for the Hawaii leased property portfolio averaged 90% in 1995, compared
with 92% in 1994.
C. FOOD PRODUCTS
-------------
(1) PRODUCTION
----------
A&B has been engaged in activities relating to the production
of cane sugar and molasses in Hawaii since 1870. A&B's present food products
operations are conducted by ABHI. ABHI operates two sugar plantations,
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company ("HC&S") on the island of Maui and McBryde
Sugar Company, Limited ("McBryde") on the island of Kauai. Island Coffee
Company, Inc. ("Island Coffee"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of McBryde, grows
coffee on the island of Kauai.
In June 1995, ABHI announced the restructuring of its
agricultural operations in Hawaii, involving the phase-out of sugar production
operations at McBryde and the directing of sugar-growing resources and efforts
to HC&S. Sugar production at McBryde is expected to cease upon completion of
the 1996 harvest, which is anticipated to occur in September 1996. Continuing
losses in McBryde's sugar operations necessitated this decision.
ABHI is Hawaii's largest producer of raw sugar. In 1995,
ABHI produced 45% of the 492,346 tons of raw sugar produced in Hawaii. The
Hawaii sugar production, in turn, amounted to approximately seven percent of
total United States sugar production. ABHI's raw sugar production tonnage for
the years 1991 through 1995 is summarized in the following table:
1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
HC&S 198,009 206,217 224,677 193,485 214,122
McBryde 23,952 17,273 14,493 22,941 38,455
------- ------ ------- ------- -------
Total 221,961 223,490 239,170 216,426 252,577
======= ======= ======= ======= =======
HC&S harvested 17,661 acres of sugar cane in 1995, compared
with 16,457 acres in 1994 and 16,726 acres in 1993. Yields averaged 11.2 tons
of sugar per acre in 1995, the lowest level in ten years, compared with 12.4 in
1994 and 13.4 in 1993. The reduction in yield in 1995 was due to a number of
factors, most significantly the unusual lack of rainfall in 1995. A number of
steps have been taken to deal with the situation, based upon the results of a
rigorous evaluation by HC&S and industry experts of HC&S's cultivation
practices and growing conditions. These steps are expected to provide some
benefit to the 1996 harvest, but the full impact is not expected to occur until
the 1997 harvest, since sugar cane is grown on a two-year cycle. As a by-
product of sugar production, HC&S also produced 63,339 tons of molasses in
1995, compared with 58,997 tons in 1994 and 61,954 tons in 1993.
An advanced ultrafiltration plant constructed by HC&S in 1994
should, when fully operational in 1996, increase sugar recovery at HC&S's
Puunene mill (the larger and more modern of HC&S's two mills) by 1.5%, thereby
increasing annual sugar production by more than 3,000 tons.
McBryde harvested 3,237 acres of sugar cane in 1995, compared
with 3,340 acres in 1994 and 2,893 acres in 1993. In addition to raw sugar,
9,219 tons of molasses were produced in 1995, compared with 7,774 tons in 1994
and 5,861 tons in 1993. The average yield in 1995 was 7.4 tons of sugar per
acre, up from 5.2 tons in 1994 and 5.0 tons in 1993. The relatively low sugar
and molasses production and sugar yields in 1993 and 1994 were due to damage to
the sugar crop by Hurricane Iniki in September 1992.
The average cost per ton of sugar produced at the two plan-
tations, including the cost of power production, was $432.59 in 1995, compared
with $428.56 in 1994 and $390.37 in 1993. The increases in cost per ton are
primarily the result of decreased yields per acre at HC&S, which more than
offset increased yields at McBryde, and modest increases in costs. Continuing
cost reduction programs at both plantations have been successful in minimizing
cost increases.
Both HC&S and McBryde produce electricity for their own use
and for sale to electric utility companies by burning bagasse (sugarcane
fiber), by hydroelectric power generation and, when necessary, by burning
fossil fuels. The price for the power sold is equal to the utility companies'
"avoided cost" of not producing the electricity supplied by the plantations.
In addition, HC&S receives a capacity payment to provide certain power to the
local utility. In 1995, HC&S sold 98,031 megawatt hours ("MWH") of electric
power, and McBryde sold 19,625 MWH. Revenue from the sale of electricity
depends on the amount of power produced and sold as well as the average price
of fuel. See "Energy" below.
During 1995, Island Coffee had approximately 4,000 acres of
coffee trees under cultivation. The harvest of the 1995 coffee crop is
expected to yield nearly 1.8 million pounds of green coffee, compared with 1.4
million pounds in 1994. Coffee production is expected to continue to increase
during the next few years.
Kahului Trucking & Storage, Inc., a subsidiary of ABHI,
provides sugar and molasses hauling and storage, petroleum hauling, mobile
equipment maintenance and repair services, and self-service storage facilities
on Maui. Kauai Commercial Company, Incorporated, another subsidiary of ABHI,
provides similar services on Kauai, as well as general trucking services.
(2) SUGAR REFINING; MARKETING OF SUGAR AND COFFEE
---------------------------------------------
Virtually all of the raw sugar produced in Hawaii is purchased
and refined by, and marketed through, C&H. C&H processes the raw cane sugar
into a full line of refined sugar products for the grocery market, and a full
range of industrial refined sugar products for industrial bakers, confectioners
and food processors. C&H is the leading sugar brand in the western United
States. Marketing of C&H's refined products is conducted by C&H's sales staff
and a network of brokers under exclusive representation agreements. The
refined products are marketed primarily in the western and central United
States.
C&H's profit margins continued to be hurt in 1995 by a
combination of high raw cane sugar prices and depressed prices for refined
sugar products, arising from the continuing ineffective governmental adminis-
tration of the domestic sugar support program and an excess supply of beet
sugar. In addition, C&H's performance was adversely impacted by a six-week
strike by workers at the Crockett refinery during September and October of
1995.
In response to the continuing financial hardship created by the
problems with the administration of the U.S. sugar program, and to the
uncertainty over the current review of the program by the U.S. Congress, in
December 1995 C&H announced a major restructuring involving the lay-off of
nearly one quarter of the work force. This restructuring is expected to yield
cost reductions of $8 million annually.
Consumer sugar sales are seasonal in nature and, as a result,
C&H's financial results are expected to be better in the third and fourth
quarters of each fiscal year, compared with the first two quarters.
C&H has a ten-year supply contract, ending in 2003, with
Hawaiian Sugar & Transportation Cooperative ("HS&TC"), a cooperative consisting
of the major sugarcane growers in Hawaii (including HC&S and McBryde), for C&H
to acquire substantially all raw sugar produced in Hawaii at a discount to the
New York Contract #14 price for domestic raw sugar. There are no minimum
supply guarantees on the part of HS&TC. During 1995, the supply contract with
HS&TC provided 72% of the raw sugar used by C&H. In recent years, a number of
Hawaii sugarcane growers have exited the business, have announced they will be
exiting the business or are considering such action. There is no certainty
that the companies now producing sugar cane in Hawaii will be doing so in the
future. In 1996, C&H will continue to purchase raw sugar from other than
Hawaiian sources to supplement its purchases under the supply contract with
HS&TC. The discontinuation of sugar growing operations at McBryde, anticipated
to occur in September 1996, is not expected to have any material impact on C&H.
At Island Coffee, coffee marketing efforts currently are being
directed toward developing a market for premium-priced, Kauai-grown green
coffee. Most of the 1995 coffee crop is being marketed on the U.S. Mainland in
green-bean (unroasted) form. Island Coffee has a supply agreement with Nestle
Beverage Company, ending in 1998, pursuant to which Nestle Beverage Company
will purchase 25% of Island Coffee's mid-grade coffee beans. In addition to
the sale of green coffee, in 1994 McBryde launched a roasted, packaged coffee
product in Hawaii under the "Kauai Coffee" trade name.
(3) COMPETITION AND SUGAR LEGISLATION
---------------------------------
Hawaiian sugar growers produce more sugar per acre than other
major producing areas of the world, but that advantage is partially offset by
Hawaii's high labor costs and the distance to the U.S. Mainland market.
Hawaiian refined sugar is marketed primarily west of Chicago. This is also the
largest beet sugar growing and processing area and, as a result, the only
market area in the United States which produces more sugar than it consumes.
Sugar from sugar beets is the greatest source of competition for the Hawaiian
cane sugar industry. In addition, competition from high fructose corn syrup
("HFCS") has increased substantially since 1974, but now has stabilized, as
sweetener markets in which the use of HFCS is economical have become saturated.
The use of non-caloric (artificial) sweeteners accounts for a small percentage
of the domestic sweetener market. Although the use of artificial sweeteners is
expected to grow, such increased use is not expected to affect sugar markets
significantly in the near future.
Worldwide, most sugar is consumed in the country of origin.
Only about a quarter of world sugar is involved in international trade. A much
smaller amount is traded at the world sugar market price (the other sugar
involved in international trade is traded at negotiated prices under bilateral
trade agreements). Due to protective legislation, raw cane sugar prices in the
U.S. generally are higher than the world price, and only limited amounts of
foreign sugar are allowed into the U.S. under import quotas. Such foreign
sugar sells at U.S. domestic prices. As a result, the world sugar price does
not have material relevance to U.S. sugar producers and refiners.
The U.S. Congress long has sought, through legislation, to
assure a reliable domestic supply of sugar at stable and reasonable prices.
Congress's most recent renewal of protective legislation for domestic sugar
is provided by the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, known
as the 1990 Farm Bill. The 1990 Farm Bill provides a sugar loan program for
the 1991 through 1995 crops, with a loan rate (support price) of 18 cents per
pound for raw sugar, the same as that provided by the 1985 Farm Act. The 1990
Farm Bill also provides minimum import quotas and a means of limiting domestic
production. In February 1996, the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives
separately passed versions of a farm bill which would extend the U.S. sugar
program for another seven years, through the 2002 crop, but which would, among
other things, eliminate non-recourse loans under certain restrictive circum-
stances, eliminate beet marketing allotments, and effectively reduce the loan
rate to sugar growers to 17 cents per pound. A final version of the farm bill
is pending.
The loan rate represents the value of sugar given as collateral
for government price-support loans. The government is required to administer
the sugar program at no net cost, and this is accomplished by adjusting fees
and quotas for imported sugar to maintain the domestic price at a level that
prevents producers from defaulting on loans. The target price established by
the government is known as the market stabilization price and is based on the
loan rate plus transportation costs, interest and an incentive factor. The
market stabilization price was 21.8 cents per pound in 1988-89 and 21.9 cents
per pound in 1990-91. No market stabilization price has been announced since
1990-91. The actual U.S. domestic sugar price averaged 21.31 cents per pound
in 1992, 21.62 cents per pound in 1993, 22.03 cents per pound in 1994, and
23.03 cents per pound in 1995 (reaching a high of 25.00 cents per pound in June
and July). The abnormally high average raw sugar price in 1995 was due to
flaws in the existing federal sugar legislation and in the administration of
the U.S. sugar program. The foregoing average prices are based on the average
daily New York Contract #14 price for raw sugar. A chronological chart of
these prices is shown below.

The long-term raw sugar supply agreement between C&H and HS&TC
provides that the participating growers will sell all their raw sugar to C&H at
a price equal to the No. 14 Contract settlement price, less a discount and less
costs of sugar vessel discharge and stevedoring. This price becomes a cost to
C&H and, after deducting the marketing, operating, distribution, transportation
and interest costs of HS&TC, reflects the gross revenue to the Hawaii sugar
growers, including HC&S and McBryde. The No. 14 price is established by, among
other things, the supply of and demand for all forms of domestically-produced
sweeteners, government policies regarding the U.S. sugar import quota and, on
occasion, domestic market allocations, as well as by potential changes in
international trade programs which might affect the U.S. sugar program.
Liberalized international trade agreements, such as the General
Agreement on Tariff and Trade, include provisions relating to agriculture, but
these agreements will not affect the U.S. sugar or sweetener industries
materially. The "side" agreements that modified the North American Free Trade
Agreement ("NAFTA") alleviated sugar producers' concerns over NAFTA provisions
which could have allowed Mexico to export large quantities of sugar to the U.S.
starting in six years.
(4) PROPERTIES AND WATER
--------------------
C&H's main refining operations are located at Crockett,
California. The Crockett refinery is one of the largest in the world, and is
the only cane sugar refinery on the United States West Coast. It is ideally
located next to a deep-water port, a major rail line and an interstate highway.
The refinery and administrative offices occupy a complex of buildings that
contains approximately 1,310,000 square feet and is located on approximately
55 acres. C&H leases approximately 42 acres from the California State Lands
Commission under long-term ground leases, and owns the remaining area. The
Lease Agreement with the State of California covering the main refinery and
wharf facilities expires in 2022, and the Lease Agreement covering the area
where the secondary water treatment facility is located expires in 2024.
C&H also operates a smaller sugar refining and distribution
facility in Aiea, Hawaii that primarily produces liquid sugar for the local
beverage industry. This facility was completed in 1994 and replaced an older
refinery. C&H leases the refining equipment pursuant to leases that expire in
December 1996 and March 1997, with options to renew for up to an additional six
years. C&H also leases the facilities and the site pursuant to a lease that
expires in 2004. In late 1995, a major bottling plant switched from using
C&H's liquid sugar to using corn syrup in its soft drinks. The switch resulted
in the loss of 30% of the Aiea refinery's sales. Because of the relatively low
price of corn syrup, other bottling plants may switch from using C&H's liquid
sugar. In the City of Commerce, California, C&H owns and operates a bulk sugar
receiving and distribution facility. The facility is located on a four-acre
parcel owned by C&H.
The HC&S sugar plantation, the largest in Hawaii, consists of
approximately 42,000 acres of land, including 2,000 acres leased from the State
of Hawaii and 1,300 acres under lease from private parties. Approximately
36,200 acres are under cultivation and completely irrigated, and the balance
either is used for contributory purposes, such as roads and plant sites, or is
not suitable for cultivation.
The McBryde/Island Coffee plantation consists of approximately
15,000 acres of land. Approximately 7,500 acres currently are under
cultivation, 4,000 in coffee and 3,500 in sugar cane. About 7,000 acres are
held under leases. In furtherance to the cessation of McBryde's sugar opera-
tions expected in September 1996, these leased lands will be returned to their
owners. Substantially all of the fee-simple lands are irrigated. A comprehen-
sive land management plan is being implemented for the approximately 1,200
acres of land owned in fee that presently is cultivated in sugar.
Large quantities of water are necessary to grow sugar cane.
Because of the importance of water, both access to water and efficient
irrigation systems are crucial for the successful growing of sugar cane. A&B's
plantations use a "drip" irrigation system that distributes water to the cane
roots through small holes in plastic tubes. A total of 34,326 acres, 96% of
HC&S's cane lands, currently are drip irrigated. The drip method has improved
yields in the fields, has allowed increased mechanization of field operations,
has resulted in added acres under cultivation and helps mitigate the effects of
drought.
ABHI also owns 19,000 acres of watershed lands on Maui which
supply part of the irrigation water used by HC&S. ABHI also has held water
licenses to 38,000 acres owned by the State of Hawaii, which over the years
have supplied approximately one-third of the irrigation water used by HC&S.
The last of these four water license agreements expired in 1986, and all four
agreements have been extended as revocable permits. The State Board of Land
and Natural Resources has indicated its intention to replace these four
permits with long-term licenses. The issuance of such licenses currently is
pending a hearing before the State Board of Land and Natural Resources.
D. EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS
-----------------------------
As of December 31, 1995, A&B and its subsidiaries had approximately
3,076 regular full-time employees, 14% fewer than at the start of 1995. About
1,236 regular full-time employees were engaged in the growing of sugar cane and
coffee and the production of raw sugar and green coffee, 592 were engaged in
the refining and marketing of sugar, 1,027 were engaged in ocean transporta-
tion, 40 were engaged in property development and management, and the balance
was in administration and miscellaneous operations. Approximately 61.6% were
covered by collective bargaining agreements with unions.
The reduction in A&B's work force in 1995 was one component of
Company-wide initiatives implemented to reduce general and administrative
expenses by $10 million per year. The work force reduction included the lay-
off at C&H, announced in late 1995, of approximately 201 regular full-time
employees, comprising 25% of the C&H work force. In addition, as a result of
the planned September 1996 shutdown of sugar operations at McBryde,
approximately 115 McBryde employees are anticipated to be laid off in 1996.
The remaining employees, approximately 65 in number, will be employed by Island
Coffee.
As of December 31, 1995, Matson and its subsidiaries had approxi-
mately 1,027 regular full-time employees, 266 seagoing employees and 302 casual
employees. Approximately 38% of the regular full-time employees, all of the
seagoing employees and all of the casual employees were covered by collective
bargaining agreements. The casual employees are United States Pacific Coast
longshoremen who are employed through hiring halls and are not full-time
employees of either Matson or Matson Terminals.
In connection with the inauguration of the new Guam-Micronesia
Service and the purchase of six additional vessels (see the discussion of
"Freight Services" above), Matson has added 34 employees in Guam and 142
seagoing employees.
Employees of Matson and Matson Terminals are represented by 10
different unions, and Matson and Matson Terminals are parties to 94 separate
collective bargaining agreements. Matson's seagoing employees are represented
by six unions. Matson and Matson Terminals are members of the Pacific Maritime
Association ("PMA"), and Matson Terminals is a member of the Hawaii Stevedoring
Industry Committee and the Hawaii Employers Council, through which various
collective bargaining agreements are negotiated. Matson is a member of the
Maritime Service Committee ("MSC") for collective bargaining with three unions
representing licensed deck, engineer and radio officers for Matson vessels.
Historically, collective bargaining with the longshore and seagoing
unions has been complex and difficult. However, Matson and Matson Terminals
consider their respective relations with the International Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union ("ILWU"), other unions and their non-union employees to be
satisfactory. During 1995, collective bargaining agreements with the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America in Oakland and the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists in Los Angeles and Oakland were renewed for
three-year, four-year, and 49-month terms, respectively. Additionally, Matson
renewed two three-year labor agreements covering deck and engine officers who
crew an integrated tug/barge managed by Matson on behalf of its owner, HS&TC.
Collective bargaining agreements with the ILWU in Hawaii and on the U.S.
Pacific Coast, clerical bargaining units in Oakland and Honolulu, and Teamsters
in Oakland are expected to be renewed in mid-1996 without service interruption.
Matson contributed during 1995 to multi-employer pension plans for
vessel crews. If Matson were to withdraw from or significantly reduce its
obligation to contribute to one of the plans, Matson would review and evaluate
data, actuarial assumptions, calculations and other factors used in determining
its withdrawal liability, if any, and, in the event of material disagreement
with such determination, would pursue the various means available to it under
federal law for the adjustment or removal of its withdrawal liability. Matson
Terminals participates in a multi-employer pension plan for its Hawaii
longshore employees. For a discussion of withdrawal liabilities under the
Hawaii longshore and seagoing plans, see Note 2 to A&B's financial statements
on pages 34 and 35 of the 1995 Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
Matson pays, through Matson Terminals on the basis of cargo tons
carried, and Matson Terminals contributes as a direct employer, to a
multi-employer pension plan for Pacific Coast longshoremen. Under special
withdrawal liability rules in the plan, Matson Terminals could cease United
States Pacific Coast cargo handling operations permanently and stop making
contributions to the plan without any withdrawal liability.
As of December 31, 1995, HC&S and McBryde had approximately 873
employees and 152 employees, respectively, covered by collective bargaining
agreements with the ILWU. Production units of HC&S and McBryde, as well as an
HC&S clerks and technical employees unit, are represented by Local 142 of the
ILWU. Agreements with the ILWU for the HC&S and McBryde production units and
for the HC&S clerks and technical employees unit expired on January 31, 1996.
The agreements for the HC&S production unit and clerks and technical employees
unit were extended to March 31, 1996. The agreement for the McBryde production
unit was extended to September 30, 1996, to coincide with the anticipated
closure of sugar operations. Negotiations with the ILWU on a collective
bargaining agreement for production unit employees of Island Coffee are
expected to commence soon.
Kahului Trucking & Storage, Inc. had three Local 142 bargaining units
covering 40 employees. Six employees were covered by the Bulk Sugar Agreement,
and two were covered by the Tugboat Agreement. These agreements were renewed
for three-year periods expiring June 30, 1996. The other 32 employees are in
the production unit, and are covered by an agreement that will expire on
March 31, 1996. This latter agreement is in the process of being renegotiated.
Kauai Commercial Company, Incorporated had 43 employees represented
by Local 142. Of these, 39 employees were in the production unit, and four
were in the clerical unit. Both contracts were extended to April 30, 1996 and
are in the process of being renegotiated.
Of the 423 bargaining unit employees of C&H at Crockett, California
at year-end 1995 (reflecting the C&H lay-off announced in late 1995), 338 were
members of Sugar Workers Union No. 1, AFL-CIO Seafarers International Union of
North America and 77 employees were members of ILWU Local 6. Eight employees

covering these employees extend through May 31, 1998.
E. ENERGY
------
Matson and Matson Terminals purchase bunker fuel oil, lubricants,
gasoline and diesel fuel for their operations. Bunker fuel oil and diesel fuel
are the largest items of energy-related expense.
Bunker fuel prices started 1995 at $97.50 per metric ton and ended
the year at $116.00 per metric ton. A low of $70.00 per metric ton occurred in
October, and a high of $117.50 per metric ton occurred in August. Sufficient
fuel for Matson's requirements is expected to be available in 1996.
As is the practice throughout Hawaii, ABHI's sugar plantations use
bagasse, the residual fiber of the sugarcane plant, as a fuel to generate steam
for the production of most of the electrical power for sugar mill and irriga-
tion pumping operations. However, supplemental fuel is required to produce
power, principally for pumping irrigation water during the factory shutdown
period when bagasse is not being produced. No. 6 (heavy) oil and coal have
been the supplemental fuels most commonly used by the sugar factories.
However, in 1992, the suppliers of oil to the ABHI sugar plantations announced
they would discontinue regular heavy oil shipments as a result of unlimited
liability concerns arising from federal and state environmental laws.
Currently, heavy oil is being transported to HC&S on a space-available basis.
As a result of the oil-availability problem, HC&S began converting its fac-
tories to use diesel fuel and increased its use of coal. In 1995, HC&S
produced 253,985 MWH of electric power and sold 98,031 MWH, compared with
1994's power production of 224,883 MWH and sales of 101,994 MWH. HC&S's oil
use increased to 143,090 barrels in 1995 from the 126,568 barrels used in
1994. In November 1993, HC&S obtained a state permit that more than doubled
its capability for burning coal. Coal use for power generation increased
substantially, from 34,490 short tons in 1994 to 67,208 short tons in 1995.
McBryde uses very little oil and no coal because it normally produces
a large amount of hydroelectric power from two plants that supplement power
produced from bagasse. To deal with the discontinuance of heavy oil shipments
to Kauai, McBryde converted its factories to use diesel fuel in 1992. In 1995,
power production was 46,532 MWH, up from 43,494 MWH in 1994. Power sales in
1995 of 19,625 MWH were down slightly from 20,381 MWH in 1994. Following
cessation of McBryde's sugar operations, Island Coffee will continue to
generate and sell hydroelectric power which is excess to its internal needs.
Steam-generated power will no longer be produced by McBryde on Kauai.
Construction by a third party began in early 1994 on a 240 MW
cogeneration plant adjacent to C&H's Crockett refinery. Pursuant to an
agreement between C&H and the third party that expires in 2026, the steam
produced by the cogeneration plant will be used to power the C&H refinery,
thereby reducing C&H's energy costs. The cogeneration plant also will allow
C&H to shut down its own, less-efficient steam generating plant, and thereby
avoid required capital improvements to the existing plant. The cogeneration
plant is expected to be operational in May 1996.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
See "Business and Properties - Ocean Transportation - Rate Regulation"
above for a discussion of rate and other regulatory matters in which Matson is
routinely involved.
In June 1990, Matson Terminals filed a complaint in the Superior Court of
California against Home Insurance Company, Hobbs Group, Inc. and Arkwright-
Boston Insurance Company for breach of contract and negligence. The complaint
sought recovery of damages sustained at Matson Terminals' Oakland terminal as a
result of the October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The court awarded Matson
Terminals $23,516,000, which included $11,250,000 in punitive damages.
Defendant Home Insurance Company has filed an appeal of the court's award.
In February 1992, Pan Ocean Shipping Co., Ltd. ("Pan Ocean") served on
Matson an amended complaint alleging that a Matson vessel negligently dis-
charged contaminated ballast water into Los Angeles harbor on January 9, 1991.
Pan Ocean admits that a vessel owned and operated by Pan Ocean discharged fuel
oil into Los Angeles harbor on January 8, 1991. Pan Ocean is seeking contri-
bution and indemnification for the in-harbor clean-up charges which it alleged
to be between $16,000,000 and $19,000,000. On April 12, 1993, Pan Ocean
amended its complaint to allege fraud and seek unspecified punitive damages.
The parties have stipulated to binding arbitration before a Special Master
appointed by the United States District Court for the Central District of
California. The Special Master's findings will be incorporated into a judgment
by the United States District Court, which judgment may be appealed to the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals only on the issues of punitive damages and mis-
conduct of the Special Master. Arbitration hearings, which commenced January
13, 1994, are ongoing. Management believes, after consultation with legal
counsel and given the Protection and Indemnity coverage under Matson's
insurance policy in effect at the time of the alleged conduct, that any
ultimate liability in connection with this action will not have a material
adverse effect on Matson's financial condition.
On November 1, 1994, the Division of Water Quality, Department of
Wastewater Management, City and County of Honolulu ("City and County") issued a
Cease and Desist Order to C&H, alleging violations of a City and County
ordinance arising out of C&H's discharge of industrial wastewater from its
liquid sugar refinery into the City and County's sewer system. Among other
things, the Cease and Desist Order ordered C&H to stop discharging wastewater
into the sewer system, ordered C&H to provide a corrective action plan, and
warned that the violation might carry civil and/or criminal penalties.
Subsequently, the City and County issued Amended Order No. 1 on November 9,
1994, and Amended Order No. 2 on December 2, 1994. All orders were con-
solidated under Docket No. 94-021 ("Amended Orders"). Amended Order No. 2,
among other things, permitted C&H to discharge wastewater into the sewer
system, provided C&H did not violate its permit, and imposed a fine on C&H in
the amount of $1,650,000, which was suspended, provided C&H comply with the
Amended Orders. C&H appealed the Amended Orders.
In May 1995, C&H presented a settlement proposal to the City and County
which provided, among other things, that both C&H and the City and County
agreed that certain modifications completed at the refinery have alleviated the
unanticipated operational difficulties that led to the issuance of the Amended
Orders. On March 4, 1996, the City and County accepted the terms and condi-
tions of C&H's proposal, which are contained in a Consent Agreement pursuant
to which the fine was rescinded. The Consent Agreement resolves all issues
raised in the Amended Orders and Docket No. 94-021, including the Petitions to
Appeal filed by C&H.
A&B and its subsidiaries are parties to, or may be contingently liable in
connection with, other legal actions arising in the normal conduct of their
businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consulta-
tion with counsel, would not have a material adverse effect on A&B's financial
position.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
- ----------------------------------------------------------
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------------------
A&B's financial statements, including the results of operations discussed
herein, are based on the historical-cost method of accounting, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. If estimated current costs of
property and inventory were applied to reflect the effects of inflation on
A&B's businesses, total assets would be higher and net income lower than shown
by the historical-cost financial statements. However, the carrying values of
current assets (other than inventories, real estate held for sale, deferred
income taxes and prepaid and other assets) and of debt instruments are reason-
able estimates of their fair values. Investments in marketable securities are
stated in the financial statements at market values in accordance with State-
ment of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. Certain investments held in
the Capital Construction Fund at amortized cost exceeded their fair values at
December 31, 1995 and 1994. This matter is described more fully in Note 11 on
page 39 of the 1995 Annual Report, which Note is incorporated herein by
reference.

Fellow Shareholders
Your Company's 125th anniversary year was a challenging one. Nonetheless, a
great deal was accomplished to build on our strengths and confront fundamental
changes in our business environment.
The Hawaii economy continued its extraordinarily slow recovery; competition
intensified in several of our primary markets; and, problems with administra-
tion of the current federal sugar program placed severe financial stress on
U.S. cane sugar refiners.
We are meeting these challenges head-on and have implemented a number of
strategic initiatives which will reduce costs, improve our competitive position
and open-up new market opportunities in each of our businesses.
Among the more significant initiatives were: the sale, for $362 million, of our
international marine container leasing unit, Matson Leasing Company, Inc.
(Matson Leasing); the purchase, for $168 million, of six container ships and
other assets from American President Lines, Ltd. (APL); and the establishment
of an alliance with APL that will permit Matson Navigation Company, Inc.
(Matson) to serve the Guam market while realizing substantial cost savings in
the Hawaii service. In the property development area, we launched our 76-acre
Maui Business Park by establishing an alliance with a prominent developer that
will result in the creation of a large new value retail center. In food
products, we announced the phasing-out of our historic, but unprofitable,
sugar-growing operations on Kauai by the end of 1996, and we moved aggressively
to reduce costs at our sugar refining and marketing business -- including a
major restructuring of the refinery operations that resulted in a 25-percent
reduction in the work force and should lower costs by $8 million annually.
Finally, we implemented a number of Company-wide initiatives to reduce general
and administrative costs by an additional $10 million per year. These
initiatives will help position each business to deal more effectively and
profitably with the challenges it faces in the years ahead.
While Hawaii's economy continues to show signs of slow, but persistent, growth,
there has been no concrete progress, as of mid-February, in the legislative
arena toward meaningful reform of the U.S. sugar program. The past year brought
into sharp focus flaws in existing sugar legislation. It especially has
disadvantaged the cane sugar refining segment, which markets half the sugar
consumed in the country. At this point, the timing and extent of any legisla-
tive reform remains uncertain. The federal budget impasse, as well as
continuing debate about overall farm legislation, are impeding resolution of
the matter.
1995 Financial Results Disappointing
A&B's 1995 net income was $55.8 million, down 25 percent from $74.6 million
earned in 1994. Earnings per share were $1.23, versus $1.62 in 1994. These 1995
figures incorporate a charge of $5.1 million for the closure of the Kauai sugar
operations, a charge of $2.4 million to write-down certain California and
Hawaiian Sugar Company, Inc. (C&H) assets, an $18 million gain on the sale of
Matson Leasing, and the $5.3 million in net income Matson Leasing earned prior
to its sale in June.
Strong cash flow again permitted the Company to proceed with important capital
commitments, while concurrently reducing debt, repurchasing shares and
continuing regular cash dividends. The annual dividend rate remained at $.88
per share. In addition to distributing $40 million in dividends, a total of
$11.6 million was spent during 1995 to repurchase 511,000 shares of outstanding
stock, continuing the A&B stock repurchase program begun in 1994. As a result,
each remaining shareholder has a larger ownership stake. To date, 1.2 million
shares, or nearly three percent of the shares outstanding at the start of the
program, have been repurchased at a total cost of $29.3 million. Share
repurchase remains an important mechanism for returning excess cash to
shareholders.
Matson's New Alliance With APL
The strengthening of tourism in Hawaii last year was not enough to offset a
reduction in statewide construction spending. As a result, Matson's total cargo
volume in the Hawaii Service declined. Competition also contributed to the
unfavorable year-over-year performance. Matson's 1994 results benefited from a
labor strike at its primary competitor. Also, that competitor inaugurated, at
mid-year 1995, a new eastbound service from Honolulu to Los Angeles which
affected the comparison.
In April 1995, Matson and APL announced their intent to operate a joint service
that would benefit both carriers by producing significant cost savings. The
core of Matson's business is its Hawaii Service. Most of the cargo volume in
this trade, however, travels westbound to Hawaii from the U.S. Mainland. As a
result, Matson's ships return eastbound "light," carrying less cargo.
Transpacific carriers, like APL, normally face the opposite situation. Their
high-volume direction is eastbound, carrying import cargo from the Far East. In
the joint service, vessel utilization on the round trip will improve
significantly.
The principal features of the strategic alliance are: Matson has purchased from
APL six vessels and assets related to its Guam shipping service. During the
first quarter of 1996, four of those vessels and one Matson ship will begin
operation of the new consolidated service between the U.S. Pacific Coast and
Hawaii, Guam and four ports in Korea and Japan; and Matson will take over an
established Guam trade from APL and share the cost of the new five-ship
combined service. Additional Matson benefits are revenue from cargo shipped to
Guam and other nearby destinations, and payments from APL for use of the
vessels to carry cargo from the Far East on the return voyages to the U.S.
Pacific Coast.
At midyear 1995, Matson Leasing was sold. From its launch in 1989, Matson
Leasing had grown rapidly and successfully to become the seventh-largest
international marine container leasing company in the world. To continue to
prosper, however, Matson Leasing needed significant amounts of additional
capital for the purchase of new containers. Strategically, we concluded that
A&B would be better served by investing in operating assets rather than
dedicating so much capital to financial assets. Proceeds from the sale of
Matson Leasing facilitated the purchase of the additional vessels, the
formation of the strategic alliance with APL and the initiation of service
to Guam. In addition, the sale permitted A&B to reduce debt and repurchase
shares.
Advances in computer and telecommunications technology continue to create
exciting new opportunities to enhance customer service and reduce costs. An
acknowledged leader in the transportation industry in this area, Matson last
year took another significant step forward. Near the end of 1995, all of
Matson's customer service operations were consolidated at a new, high-tech,
high-service center in Phoenix, Ariz. This new facility provides customers
"one-stop shopping" for all Matson services, and should save about $1 million
per year in operating and administrative costs.

With economic conditions on the island of Kauai still uncertain, A&B proceeded
with applications for important land designations and zoning changes. State and
County approvals were granted during 1995. Scenic Kukui'ula Bay and a total of
1,050 acres of A&B land mauka (toward the mountains) of the Bay now await
renewed economic growth for residential and commercial development.]
Food Products Segment Struggles
[Photo caption:
Convenience and innovation mark new packaging of C&H products. Although the
artwork is traditional, during 1995, C&H introduced new ways to make its
familiar, high-quality sugar products easier to use and to store between uses.]
A&B's McBryde plantation has grown sugar cane on the island of Kauai since
1899. With competitive changes in the industry, smaller, less economical
plantations like McBryde have struggled to survive. In spite of concerted
efforts by management and employees over many years, we concluded, reluctantly,
that McBryde's sugar operations could not be profitable on a sustained basis.
In June 1995, therefore, we announced that these sugar operations would be
phased out by harvest-end 1996, and that an $8.1 million pretax charge would
be taken in 1995 to cover all of the anticipated costs. This decision was
difficult, but necessary.
Coffee production and marketing, while still in the development stage, continue
to show promise. Last year we harvested about 1.8 million pounds of coffee on
4,000 acres formerly used for sugar. Production should more than double in the
next few years.
Although sugar refining losses in 1995 largely can be traced to the market
distortions (i.e., abnormally high raw sugar prices) created by the present
federal sugar program, the situation was exacerbated by a six-week strike at
C&H that spanned portions of the third and fourth quarters. The resulting labor
agreement, however, was constructive and will help the refiner become more cost
competitive.
Sugar production at the Company's large plantation on Maui in 1995 was about
25,000 tons (12 percent) lower than we had expected due to lower crop yields.
Abnormally dry weather accounted for much of the shortfall. A thorough review,
however, prompted important adjustments in agronomic practices that should
improve yields for subsequent crops.
Maui Business Park Leads Development
During 1995, A&B's geographically diverse property operations moved ahead on a
number of fronts. The largest and most significant achievements were the
construction progress and initial sales at Maui Business Park, a project we
formerly called Kahului Industrial Park. With an intended fully developed size
of about 240 acres, construction started with a 76-acre first phase. At year-
end, a significant sale and lease, of about 20 acres in total, was closed with
a prominent local developer. Plans call for development of a 275,000 square-
foot value retail center, Maui's first. Closing of this transaction, which
includes the purchase of 5.5 acres and a lease with purchase option on 14.5
additional acres of land, has been a catalyst for interest in Maui Business
Park. There are 32 additional lots offered in this first increment of the
project. Sales of the first three closed in 1995. Selling prices in this well-
located project are proceeding at planned levels.
Also on Maui, A&B is progressing on several residential developments. Sales
interest is strong in our newest development, the 93-lot residential sub-
division at Ku'au Bayview on the North Shore. This will be the first develop-
ment of individual house/lot packages by A&B in several years. In addition,
plans have been submitted for three new agricultural subdivisions on Maui,
and lot sales continue at the existing subdivision, Haiku Mauka on Maui's
North\Shore, where 29 of the 39 lots in the project were sold by year-end 1995.
Finally, sales began at midyear 1995 at Kahului Ikena, a 102-unit townhouse
condominium project.
Near year-end, the Kauai County Council approved zoning for 514 additional
acres of A&B's Kukui'ula planned residential project. When added to 213 acres
previously approved, the Kukui'ula project now comprises 727 acres of zoned
residential land adjacent to the Poipu resort area. Although the present
economic situation on the island of Kauai precludes taking immediate advantage
of this approval, this conclusive regulatory step enhances the value of the
property, and permits more detailed planning for future development.
On the U.S. Mainland, two shopping centers were purchased in June, adding to
A&B's leased property portfolio. These purchases preserve the tax-deferred
status of gains on previous real estate transactions and provide new sources of
earnings, cash flow and potential appreciation. One is a 168,000 square-foot
regional center in Reno, Nevada and the other a 43,000 square-foot neighborhood
center in Greeley, Colorado. The Company's total lease portfolio (2.8 million
square feet) continued to enjoy high occupancy rates during 1995, averaging 97
percent for the Mainland properties and 90 percent for those in Hawaii.
In California, the El Dorado County general plan was approved in early 1996,
incorporating our long-term plans for an 1,800-acre residential project at
Pilot Hill.
Outlook for 1996, Beyond
The outlook for Hawaii's economy remains modestly encouraging, with forecasts
of slow, but persistent, growth. Hawaii's visitor industry continues to
improve, with visitor arrivals near all-time highs. Important segments within
the construction industry, however, continue to contract, holding the industry
down and slowing the overall economic recovery.
Anticipating that the Hawaii economy will not provide much of a boost in 1996,
A&B will concentrate on successful implementation of the 1995 strategic
initiatives to grow earnings and improve profitability.
We are optimistic that Matson's overall results will improve in 1996 as a
result of the benefits from the new APL alliance. Hawaii Service revenue is
likely to remain under pressure, awaiting a more pronounced turnaround in
Hawaii's economy. The West Coast shipping industry will face labor contract
negotiations with the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union.
While there may be some difficult issues to resolve, we expect satisfactory
agreements will be reached without work disruption.
While food products results are expected to improve over those of last year,
major uncertainties remain about the federal sugar program and resulting sugar
prices. Our priorities for the coming year will be to continue to improve the
cost competitiveness of both our sugar refinery and sugar-growing activities
and, at the same time, to consider longer range strategic options for these
operations.
In the property area, we look forward to a good year as we respond to current
demand for development of new properties, as well as continue entitlement work
which will allow us to meet demand for improved commercial and residential
property over the next 10 to 20 years.
Cash flow is expected to remain strong. A&B has relatively few large investment
obligations in the next few years. Matson, however, will need to begin
replacing its fleet by the end of the century and plans for doing so will be
developed in the near future. The timing of additional large investments will
await improvement in the economic outlook for the markets served by our other
businesses.
A&B's 125th Anniversary
As noted earlier, in 1995, A&B celebrated the 125th anniversary of the
formation of its original sugar growing partnership. Each of the Company's core
businesses today traces its roots to that small sugar plantation on Maui.
During the subsequent century and a quarter, A&B has experienced great
successes as well as disappointments, enormous challenges as well as good
fortune, and significant changes as well as long periods of stability. An
enduring characteristic of the Company, and one I believe has contributed to
its successes, has been the willingness to take a long-term view of its
business opportunities and prospects. The Company also has a long history of
innovation and purposeful change. Given the challenges we faced in 1995, that
heritage was especially helpful.
During the year, all of A&B's business segments continued to face significant
near-term problems. Nevertheless, in each case, important steps were taken to
deal not only with the immediate issues, but also to improve future results. We
remain firmly committed to providing improved returns for our shareholders as
the Company continues to grow with and beyond Hawaii.
On behalf of all shareholders, I want to thank the employees of A&B and its
subsidiaries for their contributions to our progress in 1995. I also would like
to thank the shareholders, directors and employees for their support during my
first year as chairman of this venerable company. The creativity, commitment
and capabilities of my associates and the inherent strengths of our businesses
give me confidence in our prospects for greater success in the years ahead.

The ocean transportation operations of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (A&B) are
conducted by Matson Navigation Company, Inc. (Matson), a wholly owned
subsidiary headquartered in San Francisco. Matson is the principal carrier of
containerized cargo and automobiles between the U.S. Pacific Coast and Hawaii,
utilizing container ships and combination container/trailer ships in regularly
scheduled service between Hawaii and Los Angeles, Oakland and the U.S. Pacific
Northwest. This core Hawaii service includes transshipment of cargo between
Honolulu and the islands of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai.
During 1995, Matson announced a new trans-Pacific service, which started
operations in February 1996. In conjunction with American President Lines, Ltd.
(APL), the Pacific Alliance service offers weekly sailings from Oakland,
Honolulu, Guam, Busan, Hakata, Nagoya, Yokohama and Los Angeles. Matson also
operates a Pacific Coast service using one container ship that operates along
the West Coast and a container barge service between Honolulu and several mid-
Pacific islands.
In addition, Matson subsidiaries offer stevedoring and terminal services,
intermodal services and harbor tugboat services.
At midyear 1995, Matson's international marine container leasing operations,
established in 1989, were sold for $362 million.
Matson's mission is to be a preferred provider of cargo transportation services
by offering a high-value service, characterized by reliability, frequency,
efficiency and ease-of-use.
Operating Results
In 1995, ocean transportation operations provided 58 percent of A&B's revenue
and 88 percent of its operating profit. For explanations of year-to-year

Hawaii Service Cargo
In 1995, Matson's total Hawaii service containerized freight declined by nine
percent from the volume in 1994. For the sixth consecutive year, the Hawaii
economy had little or no growth, and there was no event similar to a 24-day
strike that had shut down a principal competitor in 1994. Over the past ten
years, however, Matson's containerized freight carriage units have grown at an
annual compound rate of four percent.
Total Hawaii service volume for the past three years was:

basic measure of freight from twenty-four foot equivalent units (TFEUs) to
container units. All years are now reported on this new basis.
[Graph: Ten year Freight volume]
[Graph: Ten year Automobile volume]
Although tourism in Hawaii experienced moderate growth during 1995, the
construction industry continued a cyclical decline, which offset the benefit of
greater visitor traffic.
Due to reductions in Hawaii rental car fleets, greater competition and soft
consumer demand for new automobiles, total automobile carriage to and from
Hawaii also decreased in 1995, by eight percent.
1995 Progress
The single most significant step during 1995 for Matson was the announcement
and successful negotiation of a strategic alliance with APL. In addition to
the new joint service, the agreement included the purchase, for $168 million,
of six APL container ships, shoreside spares and operating assets on Guam. The
alliance allows Matson to reduce costs in the Hawaii service; adds relatively
inexpensive fleet capacity; and introduces a new service to Guam that
complements the Hawaii service. The six ships include three C-9 vessels, the
largest and most modern American-built vessels operating in U.S. foreign
trades, and three C-8 vessels. Four of the APL vessels will join the MV R. J.
Pfeiffer in the new weekly trans-Pacific service. Under the agreement, Matson
and APL share the costs of round trip voyages, with the vessels carrying
primarily Matson freight on the westbound leg and APL freight eastbound. Both
carriers benefit from the resulting greater utilization of assets.
For Matson, the new Guam service marks its entry into a growing island trade,
where the Company can capitalize on its experience in delivering dependable,
on-time shipping that has a crucial role in the distribution systems of the
island's businesses. The weekly schedule to Guam features a Thursday morning
arrival, ensuring customers fresh inventories for high-volume weekend sales.
Using connecting carrier agreements, the service also extends to surrounding
island neighbors, such as Saipan, Tinian, Rota, Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei and Palau.
The new service is a natural fit for Matson, whose strategic focus is serving
Pacific domestic trades. Another example of this focus is Matson's Pacific
Coast service, inaugurated in July 1994. Volume in this weekly coastwise
service between Los Angeles and the Pacific Northwest ports of Seattle and
Vancouver, British Columbia continues to grow. The Pacific Coast service
targets three primary markets: feeder service for other ocean carriers under
connecting carrier agreements, domestic cargo moving between California and
Washington, and U.S. foreign commerce (primarily moving between Vancouver, B.C.
and Southern California). Although this service has not yet reached its
profitability objectives, customer response has been very positive, largely
due to the strong record of dependable, on-time service. One of the newly
acquired APL vessels, the S.S. Ewa, recently was assigned to the service,
replacing the S.S. Manulani. The new ship adds greater 20- and 40-foot
container capacity to the trade.
In late 1995 and early 1996, Matson consolidated all of its customer service
activities in a new facility located in Phoenix, Arizona. Along with
significant cost savings, the centralization of this function allows customers
to call just one toll-free number (1-800-4MATSON) for any matter regarding
Matson's Hawaii, Pacific Alliance, Pacific Coast or Mid-Pacific services.
Along with allowing for future growth, the new center assures that Matson is
strategically positioned to utilize new information systems to speed customer
transactions and to broaden the data available to customer service
representatives and customers.
In 1995, several schedule changes important to customers were made in the
Hawaii service. By reconfiguring the fleet, transit time for one of the two
weekly ships from the important Los Angeles market to Honolulu was reduced by
ten hours. As a result, Oahu customers now can receive their freight one
business day earlier. Transit times to Neighbor Island ports also were reduced.
Matson was recognized during 1995 with two honors that ranked its Hawaii
service among the best in the industry by logistics professionals. Matson
received a Transportation Quality Award from Traffic Management magazine for
the third straight year, the only carrier ever to have been so honored, and
the only U.S. carrier recognized in 1995. This rating is based on a national
quality survey that asked readers to rate carriers in five key performance
areas: price, on-time delivery, customer service, damage/claims record and
financial stability. As a result of another survey, Matson also was named a
1995 Quality Carrier by Distribution magazine, the second consecutive year
Matson was so recognized.
In a subtle, but meaningful, change, during 1995 Matson underscored the
importance of Hawaii to its business by changing the hailing, or "home," port
of all its vessels from San Francisco to Honolulu. This change acknowledges
that Hawaii is the hub of Matson's operations and that, just as Matson's ships
bear Hawaiian names, the Company's services have long been synonymous with
Hawaii.
Two important Matson subsidiaries continued to benefit its operations and
financial results during 1995. Matson's contract stevedoring subsidiary, Matson
Terminals, Inc., also serves three international carriers, spreading the fixed
costs of terminals over greater volume. Matson Intermodal System, Inc. (MIS)
arranges overland transportation for Matson and many other carriers. Because
MIS is not committed to use any proprietary rail service, it is free to search
out the carriers offering the lowest cost and best schedule for cargo
originating from inland points nationwide.
Shipping Rates
On November 21, 1995, Matson filed a 3.8-percent general rate increase that
became effective on January 28, 1996, as scheduled. Barring unforeseen
circumstances, Matson has no plans to seek additional across-the-board
increases during 1996. In the ten-year period ending in 1994, Honolulu's
Consumer Price Index has risen 57 percent and the U.S. CPI has risen 42
percent, but Matson's rates have increased just 23 percent.
1996 Labor Negotiations
Present labor contracts with the International Longshoremen's and
Warehousemen's Union bargaining units on the West Coast and in Hawaii will
expire in July 1996. In addition, contracts expire in mid-June with unlicensed
seagoing crew members. Matson anticipates that the contracts will be
renegotiated in the normal course of business, without any disruption to
service.
Issues, Plans to Address Them
Support for the Jones Act: Periodically, Congress re-examines the legislation
under which Matson and other companies serve the U.S. domestic shipping trades.
The present law, commonly known as the Jones Act, is one of many similar laws,
enacted since 1789, that have reserved for American citizens the exclusive
right to offer shipping services between two ports within the U.S. Similar laws
reserve airline service, telecommunications and public utility businesses for
U.S. citizens.
The current deregulatory climate in Congress has prompted Matson to join with
over 400 other organizations in founding the broad-based Maritime Cabotage Task
Force, to educate the public on the economic, national security, environmental
and safety benefits of the Jones Act. In short, because vessels are governed by
the laws of the country where the vessel is documented, U.S. vessels must
comply with safety, environmental, labor practices and other policies that
have been deemed important and proper for the conduct of business in this
country. Other countries' vessels do not have these obligations and their
attendant costs, nor do they adhere to the same standards. It is Matson's
intent to support the Jones Act actively and to take a leadership role in
demonstrating the efficiency, commitment and innovation that is found in the
unsubsidized U.S. domestic fleet.
Competition, Hawaii's Economic Pause: The Hawaii trade is highly competitive
and, in the past five years, fundamental economic factors have limited growth
in cargo. Matson has remained, and plans to continue as, the premier carrier in
the trade. This commitment is evidenced by Matson's substantial investments in
the trade and by its competitive advantages in number of sailings, on-time
arrivals, capacity, variety of container equipment and other unique services.
Operating Profit Outlook
In 1996, due primarily to economic conditions, Matson expects Hawaii freight
volume to be comparable to 1995. Revenue will benefit, however, from the new
cargo carried to Guam. Operating profit will improve moderately with the net
contribution of that cargo, plus the benefits of lower eastbound Hawaii Service
costs and improved subsidiary contributions. Earnings also should benefit from
the continued growth of the Pacific Coast service.

The property development and management, and food products operations of
Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (A&B) are conducted by A&B-Hawaii, Inc. (ABHI).
ABHI's operations extend from the cultivation of sugar cane in the fertile
central valley of Maui to the refining and distribution of sugar throughout the
Western United States, and from the development of master-planned communities
in Hawaii to the management of prime commercial, light industrial and retail
properties on the Mainland.
ABHI is responsible for the stewardship of some of A&B's most valuable assets,
its extensive landholdings in Hawaii. In all of its property-related
activities, both in Hawaii and elsewhere, ABHI strives to be a responsible
steward of the land, employing its landholdings at their highest and best use,
consistent with community needs.
The extent and nature of the Company's landholdings dictate that, for the
foreseeable future, the highest and best use of the vast majority of its land
is for agriculture and conservation. ABHI's own agribusiness operations
utilize 40,000 acres of land for sugarcane and coffee cultivation. Because
sugar cane currently is the best crop for a large percentage of the Company's
cultivatable land, A&B is committed to improving the efficiency and profit-
ability of its sugar operations.
In 1993, A&B purchased, through ABHI, the portion of California and Hawaiian
Sugar Company, Inc. (C&H) that it did not already own. C&H refines raw cane
sugar in the San Francisco Bay area and in Hawaii, and distributes industrial
and grocery products throughout the Western United States.
Property Development and Management
Segment Description
The property development and management activities of A&B are conducted by ABHI
and its subsidiary, A&B Properties, Inc. At year-end 1995, A&B owned
approximately 92,800 acres, including 68,800 acres on Maui, 21,900 acres on
Kauai, and 2,000 acres elsewhere. An additional 19,000 acres on Maui and Kauai
are leased from others. Approximately 91,500 acres owned by A&B are planted in
sugar cane and coffee or are employed in other agricultural, conservation or
related uses. Currently, about 1,300 acres are fully zoned for urban use. An
estimated 9,700 acres in Hawaii that now are zoned for agriculture or non-urban
uses have foreseeable urban potential.
The combination of the large amount of land that the Company owns and the
location of that land provides A&B the opportunity to serve growing
residential, commercial and industrial markets on Maui and Kauai.
A&B also owns a diversified portfolio of commercial and industrial income-
producing properties. That improved property includes approximately 2.8 million
square feet in Hawaii and in five Western states.
The following directional statements guide the activities of A&B Properties:
Maintain a market-oriented pace of entitlements and related development as well
as sales activity;
Provide new sources of recurring income and cash flow, through leasing;
Redevelop existing properties in the Company's portfolio, when appropriate, to
ensure they are at their highest and best use; and
Develop and manage a geographically diversified portfolio of commercial,
industrial and residential properties.
Operating Results
In 1995, property development and management operations provided six percent of
A&B's revenue and 38 percent of its operating profit. For explanations of year-
to-year changes in results, please refer to Management's Discussion and
Analysis beginning on page 25.

1995 Progress
Entitlements
Work to obtain entitlements for urban use in 1995 focused on: the Kukui'ula
residential development on Kauai, the proposed master-planned residential
community at Pilot Hill in California and the continued participation in the
update of the County of Maui's community plans.
In May 1995, the Hawaii State Land Use Commission approved urban
reclassification of 822 acres at Kukui'ula. Approval was granted for 537 acres
immediately and for 285 additional acres when certain on- and off-site
improvements are completed. At year-end, the County of Kauai approved rezoning
of 514 acres for development. Adding that approval to 213 acres previously
approved, the total reconfigured first phase of development is 727 acres.
Renewal of construction, however, awaits improved economic conditions on Kauai,
especially in housing demand.
Pilot Hill, an 1,800-acre parcel located in El Dorado County, California, is
expected to be developed as a master-planned residential community. El Dorado
County, located 40 miles northeast of Sacramento, completed the legally man-
dated update of its General Plan on January 12, 1996. The project was
designated a "planned community" in the new plan.
The Company continues to pursue a number of projects as part of the ten-year
update of Maui's community plans. Community plans in Hawaii generally are the
first step in the lengthy governmental land approval process, creating a
"blueprint" for planned development activity over the following decade. A&B is
seeking various urban designations for portions of its undeveloped land within
four Plan regions where most of the Company's holdings are located.
Development
The largest and most prominent development activity in 1995 was the construc-
tion of on- and off-site improvements for Maui Business Park, a light
industrial/commercial business park located near Maui's primary airport and
commercial harbor. Ultimately planned to consist of about 240 acres, Maui
Business Park's construction last year included mass grading, roads, utilities
and landscaping for phase IA (42 acres), and mass grading for phase IB (34
acres), plus substantial off-site drainage and sewer work. Significant off-site
road work remains to be completed during 1996.
Nearby, Maui's first Costco opened for business in May 1995. The facility was
constructed by Costco on a 13-acre parcel ground-leased from A&B. Across the
street, the 28,000 square foot Apex Building, developed by A&B and completed in
1995, is now 30-percent leased.
Other projects constructed on Maui in 1995 include Kahului Ikena, a 102-unit
townhouse project. Kahului Ikena sales commenced in June 1995. Also, grading,
drainage and on-site improvements were nearly finished by year-end on a
21-acre, 92-lot residential project called Ku'au Bayview, at Pa'ia, on Maui's
rural North Shore. Construction of two model homes is underway, which is
expected to reinforce already active interest in the house/lot packages to be
offered.
Sales Activity
Large Parcel Sales
In the fourth quarter of 1995, 38 acres in the Spreckelsville, Maui area were
sold in bulk to a developer for $2.4 million. The buyer intends to continue
with A&B's plans for subdivision of the property into 17 lots.
Improved Lot Sales
At Maui Business Park, the sale of 5.5 acres and lease of 14.5 acres closed in
late 1995 for a site planned by a local developer for a 275,000 square-foot
value retail center. Marketing of the 32 lots in Phase IA of Maui Business Park
also commenced in late 1995. Three of these lots, comprising 1.3 acres, closed
in December for $1.7 million.

Growing Leased Property Portfolio
Hawaii Portfolio
The Hawaii leased property portfolio consists of improved properties and ground
leases. The portfolio continued to enjoy relatively high occupancy levels in
spite of the sluggish economy. Occupancy averaged 90 percent over the course
of the year.
Aesthetic improvements to the (44-year old) Kahului Shopping Center were
initiated in 1995, resulting in a favorable response by local merchants to
leasing initiatives.
Mainland Portfolio
The Mainland portfolio, containing about 2.1 million square feet of leasable
area, achieved an average occupancy level of 97 percent in 1995. Two new
properties were acquired in 1995 to replace a Denver shopping center sold in
December 1994. Airport Square, a 168,000 square foot regional center, located
in Reno, Nevada, is anchored by PetsMart and Office Depot. It also benefits
from an adjoining Costco store. The second acquisition was Market Square, a
43,000 square foot neighborhood center in Greeley, Colorado. Tenants include
Blockbuster Video and Chili's Bar & Grill.
Issues, Plans to Address Them
Kauai Economy, Kukui'ula Development: The Kauai economy has yet to recover
fully from Hurricane Iniki's effects and from the statewide economic doldrums.
Several hotels remain closed. Unemployment on that island remains about nine
percent. In response to these conditions, further investment in the Kukui'ula
project will continue to be deferred until prospects for housing and commercial
demand improve.
Overall Real Estate Demand: Consumers' concerns and public and private
employment cutbacks have had a negative effect on real estate activity
statewide. Although selling prices generally have remained stable, there is
downward pressure on lease rates for office, retail and industrial space. The
introduction of value retailing has benefited A&B through its ground leases to
several large participants, but the new competition has heightened pressure on
the existing retailers in those markets. A&B has been fortunate that Maui has
enjoyed stronger economic activity than the rest of the State, and most of the
Company's projects and land holdings are favorably located on that island. The
present market circumstances, however, call for care and selectivity regarding
investment to ensure timely recovery of invested capital.
Operating Profit Outlook
Property leasing revenue and operating profit are both expected to be higher in
1996 than in 1995. The leased property portfolio is expected to improve its
results due to a full-year contribution by the new Costco ground lease, other
new tenancies and the two new Mainland shopping centers. Property sales revenue
likely will be higher, but the sales mix will consist of more lower-margin
properties, such as residential subdivisions, versus large parcels, which may
lead to moderately lower operating profit for that part of the segment's
results.
Continued efforts to enhance the future value of the property portfolio through
entitlement gains also are an important contributor to future shareholder
value. These efforts will continue throughout 1996, both for Hawaii and
Mainland properties.

Food Products
Segment Description
ABHI's food products segment includes the sugar production operations of
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (HC&S) on Maui and McBryde Sugar Company,
Limited (McBryde) on Kauai, the coffee production and marketing activities of
Island Coffee Company, Inc. (Island Coffee) on Kauai, as well as the sugar
refining and marketing operations of C&H. A&B is the largest sugar producer in
Hawaii, having grown about 45 percent of the State's total crop in 1995.
ABHI's two plantations produce raw sugar, molasses, coffee and surplus electric
power which is sold to utilities. C&H is the largest sugarcane refiner in the
Western United States, supplying to consumer and industrial markets about 16
percent of the refined cane sugar produced in the country.
A&B remains committed to a healthy and efficient agricultural industry in
Hawaii. The Company has adopted a three-part strategy to guide its food
products operations: While taking steps to reduce operating costs and increase
efficiency, lay the groundwork for long-term operating success at C&H through
improvements to the refinery, extension of the C&H brand and examination of
marketing opportunities throughout North America.
Sustain profitable sugar production through the expansion of cultivated acreage
and improvements in technology and agronomy at HC&S.
Pursue the best long-term strategy for production and marketing of its premium,
estate-grown Kauai Coffee.
Operating Results
In 1995, food products operations provided 36 percent of A&B's revenue. The
operating loss in the segment, however, totaled $27,797,000, including an
$8,100,000 provision for cessation of sugar operations at McBryde and a
$3,800,000 charge for writing-down certain operating assets at C&H. For
explanations of year to year changes in results, please refer to Management's
Discussion and Analysis on page 25.

1995 Progress
C&H
As expected, 1995 was a very difficult year for C&H. Continuing ineffective
administration of sugar price supports by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
and an excess supply of beet sugar prolonged and deepened the financial plight
of all U.S. cane sugar refiners. Relatively high raw cane sugar prices combined
with low prices for refined sugar products to destroy normal refiners' margins.
These difficult external circumstances were exacerbated by a six-week strike by
C&H refinery workers during September and October of 1995.
Part of the potential recognized in the acquisition of C&H in June 1993 was
that the organization could be made more competitive, by transforming C&H from
an agricultural co-op to an independent refiner/marketer. A comprehensive
"benchmarking" study was prepared, comparing C&H's costs with those of other
companies in the industry. A number of areas were identified where C&H could
significantly streamline its operations and reduce operating costs. As a
result, an announcement was made late in December 1995 that nearly one-quarter
of the entire work force, from both the bargaining and non-bargaining units,
would not return to C&H after the normal year-end shut-down period. This
restructuring is projected to yield savings exceeding $8 million annually.
The step, however difficult, was essential for continued successful operation
of the business.
With the restructuring, C&H will be more competitive within its industry and
with other caloric sweetener producers. For the sugar refining business to
achieve financial returns commensurate with its cost of capital, however,
further improvements are necessary and planned. The refiners' prospects also
could be influenced significantly by the outcome of the current congressional
debate on the reform of U.S. agricultural programs.
Construction continued during 1995 on a 240-megawatt cogeneration plant being
built by a third party adjacent to the C&H refinery at Crockett. Now planned
for initial full-scale operation in May 1996, the plant will use natural gas to
produce steam and electricity. The steam will be used to power the C&H
refinery, significantly reducing its energy costs.
Agribusiness
Sugar - Although the high raw sugar prices that hurt C&H`s results benefit
A&B's sugar plantations, 1995 presented additional challenges that offset the
gains at HC&S. Sugar production at that plantation was just 11.2 tons of sugar
per acre (TSA), the lowest level in ten years. A number of factors appear to
have caused this decrease in yield but record low levels of rainfall is the
most significant. HC&S and industry scientists have critically reviewed sugar
cane varieties, weather factors, and fertilization, cultivation and irrigation
practices. As a result of this analysis steps have been taken to mitigate the
adverse effects. Initial improvements will be seen in the 1996 harvest but,
because sugar cane in Hawaii is grown on a two-year cycle, the improvement will
be more apparent in the 1997 harvest.
In June 1995, A&B announced that sugar operations at McBryde would be phased
out. The last harvest is scheduled to end in September 1996 and all anticipated
costs will be covered by the $8,100,000 pre-tax charge taken in June 1995.
Approximately 6,200 acres of land used for sugar production at McBryde were
leased from others. Under provisions of the leases, this acreage will be
returned to its owners when sugar harvesting is completed. Approximately 4,000
acres of land at McBryde remains planted in coffee.
Coffee - Operations at Island Coffee continue to develop and show promise.
Total green coffee produced during the 1995 harvest, nearly 1.8 million pounds,
was about 30-percent higher than that in 1994. Both the quality of the crop and
per-acre recovery rate improved. The Company is marketing the bulk of the green
(unroasted) coffee on the Mainland. The larger crop and better quality are
attracting buyers' interest. Sales in Hawaii of roasted and packaged coffee
products also continue to increase. Coffee production is expected to rise again
in the 1996 harvest.
Power - Sales of power from HC&S and McBryde to local electric utilities
totaled 118,000 MW hours, versus 122,000 in 1994. Unusually low rainfall on
Maui during the year necessitated greater use of power for irrigation pumping
and lessened the amount of power available for sale.

Issues, Plans to Address Them
National Sugar Legislation - The original goal of the U.S. sugar programs was
to insulate U.S. consumers and producers from the volatility of the world
market, by establishing market prices that would allow efficient producers to
survive and to ensure ample supplies of a wide variety of reasonably priced
sugar products to consumers, at no cost to the taxpayer. Because the country
is a net importer of sugar, regulating the amount of imported raw cane sugar
is the primary mechanism used under current law to control sugar prices. The
increasing diversity, complexity and dynamics of the U.S. sweetener market has
revealed serious flaws in this simplistic approach to price control. The result
has been unintended market distortions. Among other things, reduced import
quotas inflated the price of raw cane sugar above the price of refined sugar
products. As a result, operating margins of sugarcane refiners which market
half the sugar consumed in the country, have been negative.
Current legislative proposals do not provide meaningful relief to cane
refiners. C&H continues to participate in the legislative process with other
industry groups and to encourage reform that better balances the needs of all
industry segments. The outcome of these on-going deliberations remains
uncertain but new agricultural bills are expected to be brought to a vote in
the House and Senate during the first quarter.
HC&S Costs and Yields - To preserve their already thin operating margins,
growers of sugar cane must constantly work to reduce their costs. HC&S has, for
many years, successfully pursued a steady stream of cost-saving and cost-
cutting measures. In addition, its work on new cane varieties and other forms
of yield improvement have contributed greatly to its success. During 1996 and
thereafter, as the industry becomes more competitive and costs rise, the
importance of similar initiatives to achieve continuous improvements will
become greater.
Coffee - This relatively new business is still in a developmental stage, with
marketing the larger crop a major focus in the near future. Its overall
contribution to profit is not expected to be significant in the near term.
Operating Profit Outlook
With no consensus now apparent regarding new farm legislation, and with the
present law expiring in September 1996, there continues to be uncertainty about
the business prospects for this segment. The recent restructuring at C&H,
however, will provide a substantial and favorable improvement for operations
and financial performance. Two increases in sugar import quotas announced by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and reports of firming refined product
prices also will help improve refiners' margins. But, in the absence of
meaningful progress toward legislative reform and more favorable terms of new
legislation, the food products segment is unlikely to return to acceptable
levels of profitability and financial returns in the next year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF ALEXANDER & BALDWIN, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 (pages 24 and 28 to 39).
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company discontinued
the container leasing segment of its operations in June 1995, when it sold
certain assets and liabilities of Matson Leasing Company, Inc. The gain on
sale and results of operations prior to the sale are included in discontinued
operations in the accompanying financial statements.
As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, in 1994 the Company changed
its method of accounting for investments to conform with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ALEXANDER & BALDWIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CONSOLIDATED EARNINGS
Net income for 1995 was $55,755,000, or $1.23 per share. This included an
$18,000,000, or $0.40 per share, gain on the sale of Matson Leasing Company,
Inc.'s (Matson Leasing) net assets, which occurred in June 1995. Also included
in 1995 net income was $5,336,000, or $0.11 per share, from the partial year
operations of Matson Leasing, offset by a $5,050,000, or $0.11 per share,
charge for the phasing-out of the Company's unprofitable sugar-growing
operations on the island of Kauai and a $2,384,000, or $0.05 per share,
write-down of a California and Hawaiian Sugar Company (C&H) operating asset.
Net income for 1994 was $74,608,000, or $1.62 per share, which included
$10,629,000, or $0.23 per share, from Matson Leasing's full year operating
results.
1995 COMPARED WITH 1994
OCEAN TRANSPORTATION revenue declined by two percent and operating profit
declined by ten percent in 1995 compared with 1994. These declines were due
primarily to decreases of nine percent and eight percent in Hawaii container
volume and automobile carriage, respectively, for 1995, compared with 1994
levels. Both of these declines reflect primarily the continuing weaknesses in
certain sectors of Hawaii's economy, most notably construction and the sales of
automobiles and durable goods. Also, the 1994 results benefited from a strike
by a competitor and the 1995 results were adversely impacted when that
competitor commenced, in mid-1995, an eastbound service from Honolulu to Los
Angeles. Operating profit for 1995, however, benefited from higher shipping
rates and increased interest income.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - LEASING revenue and operating profit were
approximately the same for 1995 and 1994. Occupancy rates for the Company's
U.S. Mainland properties averaged 97 percent for both years but occupancy
levels for developed Hawaii properties declined slightly to 90 percent in 1995,
from 92 percent in 1994.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - SALES revenue of $25,835,000 for 1995 was
57 percent lower than in 1994; however, operating profit declined only 22
percent during the same period. This was mainly due to the mix of property
sales.
The mix of property sales in any year can be diverse. These 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 and subdivision lots 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 $145 per acre. Consequently, property sales revenue
trends and the amount of real estate held for sale in the balance sheets are
not necessarily indicators of future profitability for this segment.
Sales in 1995 included a 5.5 acre parcel and three individual lots in the
Company's 76-acre Maui Business Park, eight developed industrial lots, a
38-acre agricultural-subdivision parcel, 47 residential subdivision and
condominium units and the sales of various undeveloped land parcels. Sales in
1994 included a shopping center in Denver; five developed industrial lots, two
undeveloped acres near the harbor at Kahului, Maui, 40 residential subdivision
and condominium units and various other parcels.
FOOD PRODUCTS revenue decreased 18 percent, due primarily to lower refined
sugar sales volume during a labor strike at C&H that began on September 8, 1995
and ended on October 17, 1995. The segment's operating loss for the year was
$27,797,000, compared with a loss of $418,000 in 1994. The 1995 loss was due
primarily to the C&H strike, a $3,800,000 (pre-tax) write down of certain
operating assets of C&H, higher raw sugar costs, low refined sugar prices, a
pre-tax charge of $8,100,000 for phasing-out the Company's sugar operations on
Kauai, and lower sugar yields at the Company's Maui sugar plantation.
1994 COMPARED WITH 1993
OCEAN TRANSPORTATION revenue increased ten percent in 1994 compared with 1993,
due primarily to increased cargo (in part, a result of a month-long strike in
1994 affecting a competitor), higher rates and new customers served by the
Company's stevedoring and intermodal subsidiaries. Operating profit rose seven
percent as a result of increased revenue, partially offset by higher fuel costs
and costs associated with the start-up of the Pacific Coast Service. Hawaii
container volume and automobile carriage increased four and seven percent,
respectively, in 1994, compared with 1993 levels.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - LEASING revenue and operating profit
increased slightly in 1994, compared with 1993. In 1994, the occupancy rates
for the Company's U.S. mainland property and Hawaii property portfolios
averaged 97 percent and 92 percent, respectively, compared with 93 percent and
94 percent, respectively, for 1993.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - SALES revenue of $60,767,000 during 1994
was nearly double the 1993 revenue of $32,559,000. The fluctuation was due
primarily to the mix of properties sold and the differing margins on the
various types of real-estate transactions. The previously-described 1994 sales
compare with a significantly different mix of 1993 sales, which primarily
included one developed industrial lot, four undeveloped parcels and 101
residential lots.
FOOD PRODUCTS revenue increased 45 percent in 1994 compared with 1993, due
primarily to the full-year effect of the acquisition of C&H. The operating
loss in 1994 of $418,000 represents a substantial decline from an operating
profit of $12,692,000 in 1993, due to poorer plantation yields, higher raw
sugar costs and lower selling prices for refined sugar.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN 1995
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: On June 30, 1995, the containers and certain other
assets of Matson Leasing were sold to XTRA Corporation (XTRA), and certain
liabilities were assumed by XTRA, for approximately $362 million. Specifically
excluded from the transaction were Matson Leasing's long-term debt and U.S. tax
obligations. The proceeds from the sale were used principally to repay debt,
to pay tax obligations and to fund the capital needs of the Company's ocean
transportation segment.
PACIFIC ALLIANCE SERVICE: In 1995, the Company and American President
Companies, Inc. announced that their respective shipping subsidiaries had
signed a memorandum of understanding that outlined a 10-year strategic
operating alliance. This alliance includes the purchase, by Matson, of six
containerships and certain assets on Guam from American President Lines, Ltd.
(APL) for approximately $168 million and the sharing of cargo-carrying capacity
of five Matson vessels including four of the vessels acquired from APL. Under
a separate vessel-sharing agreement, Matson will operate and utilize five
vessels on westbound voyages from the U.S. Pacific Coast to Hawaii, Korea,
Japan and Guam and time charter the vessels to APL for return eastbound voyages
from the Far East. The purchase of one vessel occurred in December 1995 and
the remaining vessel purchases occurred in January 1996.
PROFIT IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES: In September 1995, the Company began
implementing additional cost control initiatives affecting all of its
businesses. Included in these initiatives are the planned sale of an airplane,
the freezing of executive salaries, the elimination of Company-owned executive
automobiles, staff reductions and process improvements. Total Company-wide
reductions among non-bargaining employees, which began in 1995, are expected to
approximate ten percent of the non-bargaining work force. Certain staff
reductions of bargaining-unit positions have also begun. The bargaining-unit
reductions mainly have affected C&H and the Company's Kauai sugar operations.
During 1995, as part of its cost reduction initiatives, the Company relocated
the customer service operations of Matson to Phoenix, Arizona.
FOOD PRODUCTS CONCERNS: Of particular concern to the Company is the 1995
operating loss of its food products segment. The Company is actively working
to return operating results to acceptable levels.
In June 1995, the Company began the closure of its unprofitable sugar planta-
tion on Kauai. This closure resulted in a 1995 pre-tax charge of $8,100,000,
but is expected to improve the future operating profit of the food products
segment by approximately $4 million annually. The principal components of
the closure cost were the write-off of the sugar factory and other sugar-
related fixed assets, the write-off of materials and supplies inventories,
severance costs, and increases in self-insurance medical and workers'
compensation accruals. These charges are partially offset by pension and
post-retirement benefit plan curtailment gains. Approximately 200 employees
will be laid off during the closure process. The final sugarcane harvest for
the Kauai plantation is expected to be completed in September 1996.
Approximately 6,200 acres used for sugar cultivation were leased from others
and will be returned to the lessors at the completion of the sugar harvest.
Most of the Kauai land owned by the Company already has been converted into
coffee production or is being considered for development. Sugar production is
continuing at the Company's much larger Maui plantation.
The Company is also addressing concerns with declining yields at its Maui sugar
plantation. A study of the problem revealed that the declines are temporary
and were caused primarily by water shortages and fertilizer deficiencies.
These matters are being corrected to the extent possible; however, due to the
two-year crop cycle and dry weather on Maui, the yields are not expected to
improve significantly in 1996.
Since the Company's acquisition of C&H in 1993, a number of initiatives have
been undertaken to improve operating margins for the sugar refining operations.
In particular, sugar refining results in 1996 will benefit from a significant
restructuring at C&H which was announced in late 1995. The restructuring
resulted in a 25-percent reduction in the C&H work force at the start of 1996.
The ongoing savings from the work force reduction and the re-engineering of
refining operations are expected to improve the operating results of the
segment by approximately $8 million annually. Also, construction is
continuing, by a third party, of a cogeneration plant adjacent to C&H's primary
refinery. When operational in 1996, the third party-owned plant will provide
steam to the C&H refinery, reducing energy costs by about 25-percent.
Improvements also are being made to the refinery to increase its capacity to
handle imports of lower quality foreign raw sugar.
The ineffective administration of the federal sugar support program, combined
with an excess supply of beet sugar, continues to place pressure on C&H's
refining margins. The government's attempts to prop up market prices by
limiting imports of raw cans sugar failed to do anything but artificially
inflate raw sugar prices. At the same time the continued expansion of the beet
sugar industry depressed refined sugar prices creating negative margins for
cane sugar refineries like C&H.
The prospects for the Company's sugar businesses will be influenced by new farm
legislation which is being considered by Congress. The impact of these
deliberations and resulting legislation on the Company's operations cannot be
predicted at this time. Management believes, however, that the impact could be
significant.
STOCK REPURCHASES: In 1995, the Company repurchased 511,000 shares of its
common stock for an aggregate of $11,580,000. These purchases were made in
accordance with a program, approved by the Board of Directors in December 1993,
to repurchase up to two million shares of the Company's stock. The Company has
purchased a total of 1.2 million shares for $29,296,000 under this program
during the past two years.
FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION: In October 1995, revised Federal Maritime
Commission (FMC) guidelines for determining a just and reasonable rate of
return for the ocean transportation business became effective. The changes
to the FMC's guidelines are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's future operating results. Additional discussion of this matter will
be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Principal liquid resources of continuing operations, which consist of cash and
cash equivalents, trade receivables, sugar inventories and unused lines of
credit, less outstanding commercial paper (backed by lines of credit) and
accrued deposits to the Capital Construction Fund (CCF), totaled $403,288,000
at December 31, 1995, a decrease of $24,722,000, from December 31, 1994. This
decrease was due mainly to a $54,769,000 decrease in unused lines of credit,
partially offset by a $23,163,000 increase in cash and cash equivalents and a
$17,611,000 increase in accounts receivable. The reduction in available lines
of credit and the increase in cash and cash equivalents were primarily the
result of cash available following the sale of Matson Leasing's net assets.
Receivables increased, due principally to an increase in amounts advanced by
the Company to Hawaii sugarcane growers for the purchase of raw sugar.
Working capital of continuing operations increased to $84,399,000 at December
31, 1995, compared with working capital at December 31, 1994 of $58,392,000.
This was primarily the result of the increase in cash and cash equivalents
following the sale of Matson Leasing's net assets, partially offset by an
increase of $25,000,000 in short-term commercial paper borrowing. The
Company's current ratio of 1.4-to-1 at December 31, 1995 was slightly higher
than the rate of 1.3-to-1 a year earlier.
Net cash provided by operations, before capital expenditures for real estate
developments held for sale and discontinued operations, was $150,550,000 for
1995, compared with $148,876,000 for 1994. Operating cash flows were used
principally for payments of long-term borrowings, deposits into the CCF,
capital expenditures, payment of dividends and stock repurchases.
For 1996, internal cash flows are expected to be sufficient to finance working
capital needs, dividends, capital expenditures and debt service. The Company
maintains several committed and uncommitted borrowing facilities.
OTHER MATTERS
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES: In 1995, cash flows for capital expenditures of
continuing operations were $69,489,000, compared with $61,434,000 in 1994.
Ocean transportation capital expenditures in 1995 of $46,872,000 were primarily
for container and chassis equipment and the acquisition of a container vessel.
Property development and management capital expenditures of $8,613,000 in 1995
were for real-estate developments which will be held for investment purposes
and for improvements to leased properties. Food products capital expenditures
in 1995 of $13,650,000 were primarily for various power generation equipment
for the Maui sugar plantation, factory modifications for C&H and for harvesting
and factory equipment at the Company's sugar and coffee operations. Capital
expenditures approved, but not yet spent, at December 31, 1995 were
$216,971,000. This includes $155,500,000 for the planned purchase of five
vessels which will be used in the Pacific Alliance Service. Of this vessel
purchase, approximately $145,500,000 will be paid for through the CCF.
TAX-DEFERRED EXCHANGES: In 1995, the Company purchased two shopping centers,
one near Reno, Nevada and the other in Greeley, Colorado, using the tax-
deferred proceeds from the 1994 sale of the Company's Denver, Colorado shopping
center. This transaction is reflected in the 1994 Statements of Cash Flows
under the caption "Non-Cash Activities."
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS: As with most industrial and land-development companies
of its size, A&B'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 takes a proactive role in identifying potential environmental
concerns. Management believes that appropriate liabilities have been accrued
for potential environmental costs.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT: In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This Statement will require that,
for years beginning after December 15, 1995, the Company include the value of
stock-based compensation in its financial statements, using the fair value
based method of accounting, or that it disclose the pro forma impact of the
fair value method on its net income and earnings-per-share. The Company
currently accounts for stock-based compensation using the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." Accordingly, the value of stock-based compensation is not included
in the Company's net income. The Company does not plan to adopt the fair value
method for its primary financial statements, but will disclose, as required by
the pronouncement, the pro forma impact of the fair value method in its 1996
financial statements. The pro forma impact of SFAS No. 123 on the Company's
net income or earnings-per-share for 1995 is not currently known.
OUTLOOK FOR 1996: Information about the Company's outlook for 1996 and its
plans to address issues affecting each business unit, is included in the Letter
to Shareholders on pages 2 through 6 and in the business unit discussions
included on pages 8 through 18 of the Annual Report to Shareholders, which
sections are incorporated herein by reference.
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management has prepared and is responsible for the Company's consolidated
financial statements and related notes. They have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include amounts
based on judgments and estimates made by management. All financial information
in this Annual Report is consistent with these financial statements.
The Company maintains internal accounting control systems, and related policies
and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are
safeguarded, that transactions are properly executed and recorded in accordance
with management's authorization, and that underlying accounting records may be
relied upon for the accurate preparation of financial statements and other
financial information. The design, monitoring and revision of internal
accounting control systems involve, among other things, management's judgment
with respect to the relative cost and expected benefits of specific control
measures. The Company maintains an internal auditing function that evaluates
and formally reports on the adequacy and effectiveness of internal accounting
controls, policies and procedures.
The Company's financial statements have been audited by independent auditors
who have expressed their opinion with respect to the fairness, in all material
aspects, of the presentation of financial position, results of operations and
cash flows under generally accepted accounting principles (see Independent
Auditors' Report on page 21).
The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee (composed of non-employee
directors), oversees management's responsibilities in the preparation of the
financial statements and nominates the independent auditors, subject to
shareholder election. The Audit Committee meets regularly with the external
and internal auditors to evaluate the effectiveness of the work performed by
them in discharging their respective responsibilities and to assure their
independent and free access to the Committee.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ALEXANDER & BALDWIN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and all subsidiaries, after elimination
of significant intercompany amounts.
OCEAN TRANSPORTATION: Voyage revenue and variable costs and expenses are
included in income at the time each voyage leg commences. This method of
accounting does not differ materially from other acceptable accounting methods.
Vessel depreciation, charter hire, terminal operating overhead, and general and
administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Expected costs of
regularly-scheduled dry docking of vessels and planned major vessel repairs
performed during dry docking are accrued.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT: Sales are recorded when the risks and
benefits of ownership have passed to the buyers (generally at closing dates),
adequate down payments have been received and collection of remaining balances
is reasonably assured.
Expenditures for real estate developments are capitalized during construction
and are classified as Real Estate Developments on the balance sheet. When
construction is complete, the costs are reclassified either as Property or as
Real Estate Held For Sale, based upon the Company's intent to sell the
completed asset or to hold it as an investment. Cash flows related to real
estate developments are classified as operating or investing activities, based
upon the Company's intention either to sell the property or to retain ownership
of the property as an investment following completion of construction.
FOOD PRODUCTS: Revenue is recorded when refined sugar products and coffee are
sold to third parties.
Costs of growing sugar cane are charged to the cost of production in the year
incurred and to cost of sales as refined products are sold. The cost of raw
cane sugar purchased from third parties is recorded as inventory at the
purchase price.
Costs of developing coffee are capitalized during the development period and
depreciated over the estimated productive lives of the orchards. Costs of
growing coffee are charged to inventory in the year incurred and to cost of
sales as coffee is sold.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers highly liquid investments
purchased with original maturities of three months or less, which have no
significant risk of change in value, to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES: Sugar inventory, consisting of raw and refined sugar and coffee
inventory, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or
market. Other inventories, composed principally of materials and supplies, are
stated at the lower of cost (principally average cost) or market.
PROPERTY: Property is stated at cost. Major renewals and betterments are
capitalized. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or
extend asset lives are charged to expense as incurred. Assets held under
capital leases are included with property owned. Gains or losses from property
disposals are included in income.
CAPITALIZED INTEREST: Interest costs incurred in connection with significant
expenditures for real estate developments or the construction of assets are
capitalized.
DEPRECIATION: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.
Depreciation expense includes amortization of assets under capital leases and
vessel spare parts.
Estimated useful lives of property are as follows:
Buildings............................................. 10 to 50 years
Vessels............................................... 14 to 40 years
Marine containers..................................... 15 years
Machinery and equipment............................... 3 to 35 years
Utility systems and other depreciable property........ 5 to 60 years
OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS: Other non-current assets consist principally of
supply contracts and intangible assets. These assets are being amortized using
the straight-line method over periods not exceeding 30 years.
OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES: Other long-term liabilities include the Company's
estimate of the liability for uninsured claims and self insurance, and reserves
for dry-docking, pensions and other liabilities not expected to be paid within
the next year.
PENSION PLANS: Certain ocean transportation subsidiaries are members of the
Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), the Maritime Service Committee or the
Hawaii Stevedore Committee, which negotiate multi-employer pension plans
covering certain seagoing and shoreside bargaining unit personnel. The
subsidiaries negotiate multi-employer pension plans covering other bargaining-
unit personnel. Pension costs are accrued in accordance with contribution rates
established by the PMA, the parties to a plan or the trustees of a plan.
Several trusteed, noncontributory, single-employer defined benefit plans cover
substantially all other employees.
INCOME TAXES: Current income tax expense is based on revenue and expenses in
the Statements of Income. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are
computed at current tax rates for temporary differences between the financial
statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities.
FAIR VALUES: The carrying values of current assets (other than inventories,
real estate held for sale, deferred income taxes and prepaid and other assets)
and of debt instruments are reasonable estimates of their fair values. Real
estate is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable
values are generally determined using the expected market value for the
property less sales costs. For residential units and lots held for sale,
market value is determined by reference to the sales of similar property,
market studies, tax assessments and discounted cash flows. For commercial
property, market value is determined using recent comparable sales, tax
assessments and cash flow analysis. A large portion of the Company's real
estate is undeveloped land located in Hawaii. This land has a cost basis which
averages $145 per acre, a value which is much lower than market values.
FUTURES CONTRACTS: Realized and unrealized gains and losses on commodity
futures contracts are deferred and recorded in inventory in the period in which
the related inventory purchases occur. These amounts are not significant.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS: Environmental expenditures that relate to current
operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that
relate to an existing condition caused by past operations or events, and which
do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to
expense. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments or remedial
efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management 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 financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Future actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts in the 1994 and 1993 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.
RESTATEMENTS: The financial statements for all periods presented have been
restated to reflect the sale of certain net assets of the Company's container
leasing segment as described in Note 4.
2. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Total contributions to the multi-employer pension plans covering personnel in
shoreside and seagoing bargaining units were $5,903,000 in 1995, $8,216,000 in
1994 and $8,626,000 in 1993. Union collective bargaining agreements provide
that total employer contributions during the terms of the agreements be
sufficient to meet the normal costs and amortization payments required to be
funded during those periods. Contributions are generally based on union labor
used or cargo handled or carried. A portion of such contributions is for
unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities of the plans being funded over periods
of 25 to 40 years, which began between 1967 and 1976.
The multi-employer plans are subject to the plan termination insurance
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
and are paying premiums to the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC).
The statutes provide that an employer which withdraws from or significantly
reduces its contribution obligation to a multi-employer plan generally will be
required to continue funding its proportional share of the plan's unfunded
vested benefits.
Under special rules approved by the PBGC and adopted by the longshore plan in
1984, the Company could cease Pacific Coast cargo-handling operations
permanently and stop contributing to the plan without any withdrawal liability,
provided that the plan meets certain funding obligations as defined in the
plan. The estimated withdrawal liabilities under the Hawaii longshore plan and
the seagoing plans aggregated approximately $6,437,000 for various plan years
ended December 1995 and 1994, and July 1995, based on estimates by plan
actuaries. Management has no present intention of withdrawing from and does not
anticipate termination of any of the aforementioned plans.
The net pension cost (benefit) and components for 1995, 1994 and 1993, of
single-employer defined benefit pension plans, which cover substantially all
other employees, were as follows:
1995 1994 1993

========= ========= =========
For 1995 and 1994, the projected benefit obligation was determined using a
discount rate of 8% and assumed increases in future compensation levels of 5%.
The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 9% for 1995 and 8 1/4% for
1994. The assets of the plans consist principally of listed stocks and bonds.
Contributions are determined annually for each plan by the Company's pension
administrative committee, based upon the actuarially determined minimum
required contribution under ERISA and the maximum deductible contribution
allowed for tax purposes. For the plans covering employees who are members
of collective bargaining units, the benefit formulas are determined according
to the collective bargaining agreements, either using career average pay as
the base or a flat dollar amount per year of service. The benefit formulas
for the remaining defined benefit plans are based on final average pay.
The Company has non-qualified supplemental pension plans covering certain
employees and retirees, which provide for incremental pension payments from the
Company's general funds, so that total pension benefits would be substantially
equal to amounts that would have been payable from the Company's qualified
pension plans if it were not for limitations imposed by income tax regulations.
The projected benefit obligation, included with other non-current liabilities,
relating to these unfunded plans, totaled $8,680,000 and $7,661,000 at December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
3. LEASES
THE COMPANY AS LESSEE: Various subsidiaries of the Company lease a vessel and
certain land, buildings and equipment under both capital and operating leases.
Capital leases include one vessel leased for a term of 25 years ending in 1998;
containers, machinery and equipment for terms of 5 to 12 years expiring through
1997; and a wastewater treatment facility in California, the title to which
will revert to a subsidiary in 2002. Principal operating leases cover office
and terminal facilities for periods which expire between 1996 and 2026.
Management expects that in the normal course of business, most operating leases
will be renewed or replaced by other similar leases.
Rental expense under operating leases totaled $46,680,000, $48,169,000, and
$43,270,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Contingent rents and income from sublease rents were not significant.
Assets recorded under capital lease obligations and included in property at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:

A subsidiary is obligated to pay terminal facility rent equal to the principal
and interest on Special Facility Revenue Bonds issued by the Department of
Transportation of the State of Hawaii. Interest on the bonds is payable semi-
annually and principal, in the amount of $16,500,000 is due in 2013. An
accrued liability of $7,170,000 and $6,626,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, included in other long-term liabilities, provides for a pro-rata
portion of the principal due on these bonds.
THE COMPANY AS LESSOR: Various Company subsidiaries lease land, buildings and
land improvements under operating leases. The historical cost of and
accumulated depreciation on leased property at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In June 1995, the Company sold the net assets of its container leasing
subsidiary, Matson Leasing Company, Inc., for $361.7 million in cash, and
realized an after-tax gain of $18 million. Specifically excluded from the sale
were long-term debt and U. S. tax obligations of the business.
Summary operating results of discontinued operations, excluding the above gain,

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its audits of the Company's
tax returns through 1988 and, with one exception, has settled all issues raised
during such audits. No settlement had a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations. The Company is contesting the
remaining issue, which relates to the timing of a deduction for tax purposes.
The IRS has commenced an audit of the tax returns for 1989 through 1991.
Management believes that the ultimate resolution of any adjustment resulting
from the 1987, 1988 and the current audits will not have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
6. POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has plans that provide certain retiree health care and life
insurance benefits to substantially all salaried and to certain hourly
employees. Employees are generally eligible for such benefits upon retirement
and completion of a specified number of years of credited service. The Company
does not pre-fund these benefits and has the right to modify or terminate
certain of these plans in the future. Certain groups of retirees pay a portion
of the benefit costs.
The net periodic cost for post-retirement health care and life insurance
benefits during 1995, 1994 and 1993 included the following:
1995 1994 1993
---- ---- ----
(In thousands)
Service cost........................... $ 1,512 $ 2,149 $ 1,524

The unfunded accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation at December 31,
1995 and 1994 is summarized below:
1995 1994

------- --------
Non-current obligation.................... $118,472 $116,610
======== ========
For 1995 and 1994, the weighted average discount rate used in determining the
accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was 8%, and the assumed health
care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated post-retirement benefit
obligation was 10% through 2001, decreasing to 5% thereafter. If the assumed
health care cost trend rate were increased by one percentage point, the
accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1995 and 1994
would have increased by approximately $10,405,000 and $12,235,000,
respectively, and the net periodic post-retirement benefit cost for 1995 and
1994 would have increased by approximately $1,190,000 and $2,153,000,
respectively.
7. INVESTMENTS
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, investments principally consisted of marketable
equity securities, limited partnership interests and purchase-money mortgages.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The marketable equity
securities are classified as "available for sale" and are stated at quoted
market values. The unrealized holding gain on these securities, net of
deferred income taxes, has been recorded as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.
The components of the net unrealized holding gains at December 31, 1995 and
1994 were as follows:
1995 1994
---- ----

Less deferred income taxes ............... 23,664 17,273
------- --------
Net unrealized holding gain .............. $39,830 $ 29,073
======= ========
The investments in limited partnership interests and purchase money mortgages
are recorded at cost, which approximated market values, of $8,786,000 and
$8,601,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The purchase money
mortgages are intended to be held to maturity. The value of the underlying
investments of the limited partnership interests are assessed annually and are
approximately equal to the original cost.
See Note 11 for a discussion of market values of investments in the Capital
Construction Fund.

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES: The Company and a subsidiary have a revolving
credit and term loan agreement with five commercial banks, whereby they may
borrow up to $155,000,000, under revolving loans to November 30, 1997, at
varying rates of interest. Any revolving loan outstanding on that date may be
converted into a term loan, which would be payable in 16 equal quarterly
installments. The agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, the most
significant of which requires the maintenance of an interest coverage ratio of
2:1. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, respectively,
were outstanding under this agreement.
The Company and a subsidiary have an uncommitted $45,000,000 short-term
revolving credit agreement with a commercial bank. The agreement extends to
November 30, 1996, but may be canceled by the bank at any time. At December
31, 1995 and 1994, $17,000,000 and $12,500,000, respectively, were outstanding
under this agreement.
In 1994, the Company and a subsidiary entered into an uncommitted $25,000,000
revolving credit agreement with a commercial bank. The agreement extends to
July 18, 1997. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, $13,000,000 and $20,000,000,
respectively, were outstanding under this agreement.
During 1995, a subsidiary entered into a $50,000,000 one-year Revolving Credit
Agreement to replace two previous credit facilities. Up to $25,000,000 of this
agreement serves as a commercial paper liquidity back-up line, with the balance
available for general corporate funds. At December 31, 1995, there were no
amounts outstanding under this agreement.
COMMERCIAL PAPER: At December 31, 1995 there were two commercial paper
programs. The first program was used by a subsidiary to finance the
construction of a vessel, which was delivered in 1992. At December 31, 1995,
$149,437,000 of commercial paper notes was outstanding under this program.
Maturities ranged from 4 to 39 days. The borrowings outstanding under this
program are classified as long-term, because the subsidiary intends to continue
the program indefinitely and eventually to repay the program with qualified
withdrawals from the Capital Construction Fund.
The second commercial paper program is used by a subsidiary to fund the
purchases of sugar inventory from Hawaii sugar growers and to provide working
capital for sugar refining and marketing operations. At December 31, 1995,
$97,000,000 of commercial paper notes was outstanding under this program.
Maturities ranged from 11 to 23 days. The interest cost and certain fees on
the borrowings relating to sugar inventory advances to growers are reimbursed
by the growers. At December 31, 1995, $31,378,000 was outstanding as advances
to growers under this program. Of the total commercial paper borrowing
outstanding at December 31, 1995, $83,000,000 was classified as current.
The commercial paper is supported by a $100,000,000 backup revolving credit
facility with six commercial banks. Both the commercial paper program and the
backup facility are guaranteed by the subsidiary's parent and by the Company.
In 1995, the Company repaid the outstanding commercial paper notes of a third
program which had been used to finance container purchases of the discontinued
container leasing business.
LONG-TERM DEBT MATURITIES: At December 31, 1995, maturities and planned
prepayments of all long-term debt during the next five years totaled
$24,794,000 for 1996, $31,967,000 for 1997, $24,453,000 for 1998, $32,616,000
for 1999 and $19,584,000 for 2000.
9. CAPITAL STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS
A&B has a stock option plan ("1989 Plan") under which key employees may be
granted stock purchase options and stock appreciation rights. A second stock
option plan for key employees terminated in 1993, but shares previously granted
under the plan are still exercisable. Under the 1989 Plan, option prices may
not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock
on the dates of grant, and each option generally becomes exercisable in-full
one year after the date granted. Payment for options exercised, to the extent
not reduced by the application or surrender of stock appreciation rights, may
be made in cash or in shares of the Company's stock. If payment is made in
shares of the Company's stock, the option holder may receive, under a reload
feature of the 1989 Plan, a new stock option for the number of shares equal
to that surrendered, with an option price not less than at the fair market
value of the Company's stock on the date of exercise. During 1995, 527,800
new options were granted under the 1989 Plan.
The 1989 Plan also permits issuance of shares of the Company's common stock as
a reward for past service rendered to the Company or one of its subsidiaries or
as an incentive for future service with such entities. The recipients'
interest in such shares may be fully vested upon issuance or may vest in one
or more installments, upon such terms and conditions as are determined by the
committee which administers the plan.
The Company also has a Directors' stock option plan, under which each non-
employee Director of the Company, elected at an Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
is automatically granted, on the date of each such Annual Meeting, an option to
purchase 3,000 shares of the Company's common stock at the average fair market
value of the shares for the five consecutive trading days prior to the grant
date. Each option becomes exercisable six months after the date granted. At
December 31, 1995, a total of 171,000 options have been granted under the plan,
3,000 options have been canceled and no options have been exercised.
Changes in shares under all option plans, for the three years ended December
31, 1995, were as follows:
Price Range
Shares Per Share
------ ---------
1993: Granted............................. 423,200 $24.250-24.500

Outstanding, December 31............ 2,444,032 17.375-37.875
1995: Granted............................. 551,800 21.750-22.500
Exercised........................... (23,550) 17.375-24.750
Canceled............................ (385,531) 24.250-36.250
--------
Outstanding, December 31
(2,045,051 exercisable) .......... 2,586,751 $17.375-37.875
=========
Options outstanding at December 31, 1995 include 60,166 shares that carry stock
appreciation rights which expire in 1997. The outstanding options do not have
a material dilutive effect in the calculation of earnings per share of common
stock.
The Company has a Shareholder Rights Plan, designed to protect the interests of
shareholders in the event an attempt is made to acquire the Company. The
rights initially will trade with the Company's outstanding common stock and
will not be exercisable absent certain acquisitions or attempted acquisitions
of specified percentages of such stock. If exercisable, the rights generally
entitle shareholders to purchase additional shares of the Company's stock or
shares of an acquiring company's stock at prices below market value.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At December 31, 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries had an unspent balance
of total appropriations for capital expenditures of approximately $216,971,000.
However, there is no contractual obligation to spend this entire amount. Of
this amount, $155,500,000 is for the purchase of vessels described in Note 12.
A subsidiary has arranged for standby letters of credit of approximately
$13,800,000, necessary to qualify as a self-insurer for state and federal
workers' compensation liabilities.
A subsidiary has received a favorable court judgment resulting from a contested
insurance claim. The claim was for reimbursement of certain expenses incurred
by the subsidiary in connection with repairing port facilities damaged by a
1989 earthquake. Although the award has been appealed, management and its
outside counsel believe that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will be
an award at least equal to the claim recorded in the financial statements.
A subsidiary is a party, acting as the steam host, to a Steam Purchase
Agreement with a developer which has received regulatory authority approval to
construct and operate a cogeneration facility contiguous to the subsidiary's
California refinery. The agreement provides that, during the 30-year period
of the agreement, the subsidiary will receive steam necessary for refinery
operations at a reduced price, compared to the market price of fuel which
presently must be purchased to generate its steam requirements.
A subsidiary is party to a long-term sugar supply contract with Hawaiian Sugar
& Transportation Cooperative (HSTC), a raw sugar marketing and transportation
cooperative owned by two other subsidiaries and by the other Hawaii sugar
growers. Under the terms of this contract, the subsidiary is obligated to
purchase, and HSTC is obligated to sell, all of the raw sugar delivered to HSTC
by the Hawaii sugar growers, at prices determined by the quoted domestic sugar
market. The subsidiary made purchases of raw sugar totaling $158,284,000 and
$271,212,000 under the contract during 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
contract also requires that the subsidiary provide cash advances to HSTC prior
to the physical receipt of the sugar at its refineries (see Note 8). Such
advances are determined by the estimated raw sugar market prices. Amounts due
to HSTC are credited against outstanding advances to HSTC upon delivery of raw
sugar to the subsidiary's refineries.
The Company and certain subsidiaries are parties to various legal actions and
are contingently liable in connection with claims and contracts arising in the
normal course of business, the outcome of which, in the opinion of management
after consultation with legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
11. CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION FUND
A subsidiary is party to an agreement with the United States Government which
established a Capital Construction Fund (CCF) under provisions of the Merchant
Marine Act, 1936, as amended. The agreement has program objectives for the
acquisition, construction or reconstruction of vessels and for repayment of
existing vessel indebtedness. Deposits to the CCF are limited by certain
applicable earnings. Such deposits are not subject to Federal income taxes in
the year earned, but are taxable, with interest payable from the year of
deposit, if withdrawn for general corporate purposes or other non-qualified
purposes, or upon termination of the agreement. Qualified withdrawals for
investment in vessels having adequate tax bases do not give rise to a current
tax liability, but reduce the depreciable bases of the vessels or other assets
for income tax purposes. Amounts deposited into the CCF are preference items
for inclusion in Federal alternative minimum taxable income. Deposits not
committed for qualified purposes within 25 years from December 31, 1986, or
later date of deposit, will be treated as non-qualified withdrawals. As of
December 31, 1995, the oldest CCF deposits date from 1987. Management believes
that all amounts deposited in the CCF at the end of 1995 will be used or
committed for qualified purposes prior to the expiration of the 25-year period.
Under the terms of the CCF agreement, the subsidiary may designate certain
qualified earnings as `accrued deposits'' or may designate, as obligations of
the CCF, qualified withdrawals to reimburse qualified expenditures initially
made with operating funds. Such accrued deposits to and withdrawals from the
CCF are reflected on the balance sheet either as an obligation of the Company's
current assets or as a receivable from the CCF.
As discussed in Note 7, in 1994 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
115. The Company has classified its investments in the CCF as "held-to-
maturity" and, accordingly, has not reflected temporary unrealized market gains
and losses in the Balance Sheets or Statements of Income. The long-term nature
of the CCF program supports the Company's intention to hold these investments
to maturity.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the balances on deposit in the CCF are
summarized in Table 1.

</TABLE>
Fair value of the mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") was determined by an
outside investment management company, based on the experience of trading
identical or substantially similar securities. No central exchange exists for
these securities; they are traded over-the-counter.
At the end of 1995, the fair value of the Company's investments in MBS is less
than amortized cost, due to interest rate sensitivity inherent in the fair
value determination of such securities. While an unrealized market loss
exists, the Company intends to hold these investments to maturity, which ranges
from 1996 through 2024. The MBS have a weighted average life of approximately
six years, based on information currently available to the Company. The
Company earned $7,655,000 in 1995, $8,292,000 in 1994, and $7,218,000 in 1993
on its investments in MBS.
Fair values of the remaining CCF investments were based on quoted market
prices, if available. If a quoted market price was not available, fair value
was estimated, using quoted market prices of similar securities and
investments. These remaining investments mature in 1996.
During 1995 and 1994, there were no sales of securities classified as "held-to-
maturity" included in the CCF.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT - VESSEL ACQUISITION
In January 1996, the Company purchased five container ships from American
President Lines, Ltd. (APL) for $155,500,000, of which $145,500,000 was
financed by qualified withdrawals from the CCF.
The Company intends to use four of these container ships and one existing fleet
unit in a joint service with APL, between the United States West Coast and
Hawaii, Korea, Japan and Guam. The Company will have the full reach of the
vessels on each westbound voyage from the United States West Coast to Hawaii,
Guam, Japan and Korea. APL will take each vessel on time charter in Korea and
redeliver the vessel at the end of its eastbound voyage on the United States
West Coast. APL will reimburse the Company for vessel operating costs incurred
while under time charter to APL. The Company expects to commence the joint
service with APL in February 1996.
13. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Industry segment information for 1995, 1994 and 1993, on page 24, is

Coast, Hawaii and Western Pacific ports, and providing terminal services.
Property development and management -- developing, managing and selling
residential, commercial and industrial properties.
Food products -- growing, processing and marketing sugar, molasses and coffee,
