FINANCIAL NOTES
(Unaudited)

(a)  The condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2000, the condensed statements
     of income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 and
     1999, and the condensed statements of cash flows for the six months ended
     June 30, 2000 and 1999, are unaudited.  Because of the nature of the
     Company's operations, the results for interim periods are not necessarily
     indicative of results to be expected for the year, but in the opinion of
     management, all material adjustments necessary for the fair presentation
     of interim period results have been included in the interim financial
     statements.

(b)  Estimated effective annual income tax rates differ from statutory rates,
     primarily due to the dividends-received deduction, various tax credits and
     the donation of appreciated stock.

(c)  The Company's total non-owner changes in shareholders' equity consist of
     net income adjusted for unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities
     (other comprehensive income).  On this basis, comprehensive income for the
     three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $17 million and $18 million,
     respectively.  Comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2000
     and 1999 was $44 million and $25 million, respectively.

(d)  The cumulative effect of an accounting change in 2000 related to the
     treatment of vessel drydocking costs.  The Company changed its method of
     accounting for these costs from the accrual method to the deferral method.
     Drydocking costs had been accrued as a liability and an expense on an
     estimated basis, in advance of the next scheduled drydocking.  Under the
     deferral method, actual drydocking costs are capitalized when incurred and
     amortized over the period to the next drydocking.  The new method
     amortizes the costs over the period of benefit and eliminates the
     uncertainty in estimating these costs.  This change was made to conform
     with prevailing industry accounting practices.  The cumulative effect of
     this accounting change, as of January 1, 2000, is shown separately in the
     condensed statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
     resulted in income of $12,250,000 (net of income tax expense of
     $7,668,000), or $0.29 per share.

     The effect of this change in accounting method as of January 1, 2000, on
     the condensed balance sheets, was to increase other assets by $4,765,000,
     eliminate drydocking reserves of $15,153,000, increase deferred taxes by
     $7,668,000, and increase total shareholders' equity by $12,250,000.

     The pro forma net income (assuming the new accounting method was applied
     retroactively) for the six months ended June 30, 2000 is $42,424,000 (or
     $1.03 per share).  The pro forma effect of this accounting change to 1999
     net income was not material.

(e)  Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's
     presentation.

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

SECOND QUARTER EVENTS:

OPERATING RESULTS:  Net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $28.2
million, or $0.69 per share.  This represented a 21-percent increase over net
income in the comparable period of 1999 of $23.2 million, or $0.54 per share.
Revenue in the second quarter of 2000 was $276.4 million, compared with revenue
of $263.8 million in the second quarter of 1999.

After an accounting change, net income for the first half of 2000 was $54.7
million, or $1.32 per share, versus $39.1 million, or $0.90 per share in the
first half of 1999.  The accounting change resulted in a one-time, non-cash
increase to first-quarter 2000 earnings of $12.3 million.  Revenue in the first
half of 2000 was $496.3 million, compared with $461.3 million in the first half
of 1999.

In the second quarter of 2000, operating profit was $53.1 million, which was
$8.8 million, or 20-percent, higher than the $44.4 million operating profit in
the second quarter of 1999.  For the first half of 2000, operating profit was
$83.7 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or seven percent, versus $77.9
million in the first half of 1999.  In both the second quarter and first half
of 2000, operating profit improved in ocean transportation and in property
development and management, but operating results for the food products segment
were lower.

Interest expense in both periods of 2000 was higher than in the corresponding
periods in 1999, reflecting both higher rates and increased debt balances.
Corporate expenses were lower in both periods.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's principal liquid resources, comprising cash and cash equivalents,
receivables, sugar and coffee inventories and unused lines of credit, less
accrued deposits to the Capital Construction Fund (CCF), totaled $211.6 million
at June 30, 2000, a decrease of $41.7 million from December 31, 1999.  This net
reduction was due primarily to an increase in outstanding debt to fund share
repurchases totaling $43.3 million.

Working capital was $44.4 million at June 30, 2000, a decrease of $15.4 million
from the amount at the end of 1999.  This net decrease was due primarily to a
decrease in other current assets, a decline in cash balances and an increase in
short-term debt, partially offset by a decrease in short-term liabilities.  The
decrease in other current assets and in short-term liabilities was due
primarily to the elimination of vessel drydocking accruals and related deferred
income taxes (see Note d to the Company's condensed financial statements).

RESULTS OF SEGMENT OPERATIONS -
SECOND QUARTER 2000 COMPARED WITH THE SECOND QUARTER OF 1999

OCEAN TRANSPORTATION revenue of $204.7 million for the second quarter of 2000
was nine-percent higher than the 1999 second-quarter revenue.  Operating profit
of $27.9 million for the second quarter of 2000 was 10-percent higher than
$25.3 million in the second quarter of 1999.  The improvement was achieved in
spite of a virtual doubling of bunker fuel prices from the second quarter of
1999, and it was due primarily to higher Hawaii auto volume, an improved mix of
cargo and better results for non-Hawaii operations.  Matson's second quarter
2000 Hawaii service container volume was about the same as in the 1999 second
quarter, but automobile volume was 34-percent higher.  The increase in
automobile volume was due primarily to competitive gains.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - LEASING revenue of $12.4 million for the
second quarter of 2000 was 15-percent higher than the second quarter 1999
revenue, and operating profit of $7.6 million was 19-percent higher than in the
comparable 1999 period.  The increases were due primarily to additions to the
property portfolio in the latter part of 1999 and higher rates of occupancy.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - SALES revenue for the second quarter of
2000 was $25.0 million, compared with $27.2 million in sales recorded in the
second quarter of 1999.  In the second quarter of 2000, operating profit from
property sales was $18.9 million, nearly twice the second quarter 1999
operating profit of $9.9 million.  Sales in the second quarter of 2000 included
the sale of a ground lease under a Costco store in Kahului, Maui.  Other sales
in the second quarter of 2000 included six business parcels and six residential
properties.  Sales in the second quarter of 1999 included the sale of a 109,000
square foot office and research facility, one business parcel and three
residential properties.

FOOD PRODUCTS revenue of $33.5 million for the second quarter of 2000 compared
with $37.3 million in revenue reported for the comparable period of 1999.  In
the second quarter of 2000, the food products segment had an operating loss of
$2.1 million, compared with $2.0 million of operating profit in the second
quarter of 1999.  The primary reasons for the unfavorable comparison were low
U.S. raw sugar prices and continuing drought conditions that have lowered sugar
production.  U. S. raw sugar prices are at the lowest level in 22 years and the
outlook is uncertain.

RESULTS OF SEGMENT OPERATIONS -
FIRST SIX MONTHS 2000 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1999

OCEAN TRANSPORTATION revenue of $395.2 million for the first half of 2000 was
11-percent higher than in the first half of 1999 and operating profit of $47.8
million increased $4.2 million, or 10 percent, from $43.6 million in the first
half of 1999.  The year-to-date improvement was due to the same reasons cited
for the second-quarter improvement, primarily higher Hawaii auto volume, an
improved mix of cargo and better results for non-Hawaii operations.  For the
first half of 2000, Matson's Hawaii service container volume was two-percent
higher than in the 1999 first half, but automobile volume was 49-percent
higher.  The increase in automobile volume was due primarily to competitive
gains.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - LEASING revenue of $24.3 million for the
first half of 2000 was eight-percent higher than the results in the comparable
1999 period.  First-half 2000 operating profit of $14.8 million was six-percent
higher than in the first half of 1999.  The increases were due primarily to
additions to the property portfolio in the latter part of 1999 and higher
occupancies.  Year-to-date 2000 occupancy levels for Mainland properties
averaged 96 percent, versus 93 percent in the first half of 1999.  Average
occupancy levels for Hawaii properties improved to 85 percent, versus 73
percent in the comparable period of 1999.  The increase in Hawaii occupancy was
experienced in retail and warehouse properties.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - SALES revenue of $28.0 million in the
first half of 2000 compared with $35.1 million recorded in the first half of
1999.  Operating profit of $19.6 million from property sales in the first half
of 2000 was $4.1 million, or 27 percent, higher than $15.5 million in the first
half of 1999.  Sales in the first half of 2000 included the Costco ground
lease, eight business parcels and 17 residential properties.  Among the first
half 1999 sales were the office and research facility, plus five business
parcels and 11 residential properties.

FOOD PRODUCTS revenue of $47.2 million in the first half of 2000 compared with
$45.3 million in revenue for the comparable period of 1999.  However, in the
first half of 2000, food products broke even on an operating profit basis,
compared with operating profit of $3.5 million in the first half of 1999.
Again, the reduction in operating profit was primarily the result of low U.S.
raw sugar prices and continuing drought conditions that have lowered sugar
production.  Furthermore, U. S. raw sugar prices are at the lowest level in 22
years and the outlook is uncertain.

OTHER MATTERS

PROPERTY SALES:  The mix of property sales in any year or quarter can be
diverse.  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.  Consequently, property sales revenue trends and
the amount of real estate held for sale on the balance sheets do not
necessarily indicate future profitability trends for this segment.

ACCOUNTING CHANGE:  The Company recorded an accounting change of $12.3 million
(after-tax) in the first half of 2000, relating to the treatment of vessel
drydocking costs.  The Company changed its method of accounting for these costs
from the accrual method to the deferral method.  This change was made to
conform to prevailing industry accounting practices (see Note d to the
Company's condensed financial statements).

CORPORATE ORGANIZATION:  The Company merged its wholly owned subsidiary,
A&B-Hawaii, Inc., into the Company on December 31, 1999.  This merger had no
adverse impact on operations or consolidated assets and obligations.

TAX-DEFERRED REAL ESTATE EXCHANGES:  In the first half of 2000, the Company
sold six parcels of land for $23.1 million.  The proceeds from these sales are
reflected in the Statements of Cash Flows under the caption "Other Non-Cash
Information."  During the first half of 2000, the Company reinvested proceeds
of $3.1 million on a tax-deferred basis.  The reinvested proceeds are also
reported under Other Non-Cash Information in the Statements of Cash Flows.

SHARE REPURCHASES:  In the first half of 2000, the Company repurchased
2,173,395 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $43.3 million (average
of $19.92 per share).

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS:  As with most industrial and land-development companies
of its size, the Company'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 works proactively to identify potential environmental
concerns.  Management believes that appropriate liabilities have been accrued
for environmental matters.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS:  The economic performance for the state of Hawaii
continues to improve.  The index of leading economic indicators published by
the State of Hawaii's Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism
(DBEDT) has leveled off in recent months, however is near its high point.  Some
economic measures already are improving nonetheless, such as unemployment, jobs
and personal income growth.  Construction jobs grew by a rapid 8.8% in the
first quarter of 2000, the fastest rate of first-quarter growth since 1991. The
contracting tax base, a measure of actual construction activity, expanded by a
sharp 19.9% in the first quarter of 2000, relative to the year-earlier quarter.

In its June 2000 outlook, DBEDT raised its projections for growth in real gross
state product for the year 2000 to 3.5% (from 2.5% in its March 2000 outlook),
for 2001 to 3.0% (from 2.7%), and for 2002, it remained the same at 2.6%.  The
external factors cited for raising the projections were the continuing strength
of the U.S. mainland economy and improvement in the Asian economies.  Rising
growth in visitor arrivals is anticipated, with the projection for growth in
2000 now at 3.8% percent (up from 2.3%).  This increase is the net result of
