throughout the required compliance period.  The Bank's, Creditcorp's and
Pioneer's investments in this Fund will be included in each of the companies'
investment portfolio.

EMPLOYEES -

At December 31, 1996, the Corporation had 3,384 full-time equivalent employees.
The Bank employed 2,691 persons and the other subsidiaries employed 693
persons.  None are represented by any collective bargaining agreements and
relations with employees are considered excellent.

MONETARY POLICY AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS -

The earnings and growth of the Corporation are affected not only by general
economic conditions, but also by the monetary policies of various governmental
regulatory authorities, particularly the Federal Reserve Board.  The Federal
Reserve Board implements national monetary policy by its open market operations
in United States Government securities, control of the discount rate, and
establishment of reserve requirements against both member and nonmember
financial institutions' deposits.  These actions have a significant effect on
the overall growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits as well
as the rates earned on loans, or paid on deposits.

It is not possible to predict the effect of future changes in monetary policies
upon the operating results of the Corporation.

COMPETITION -

Competition in the financial services industry in Hawaii is intense.
Hawaii-based commercial banks, savings institutions, financial services loan
companies and credit unions compete against one another.  Based upon the latest
available figures, total deposits of all financial institutions in Hawaii as of
September 30, 1996 amounted to approximately $24 billion.  The principal
subsidiaries of the two largest bank holding companies, Bancorp Hawaii, Inc.
and the Corporation, accounted for 31% and 19% of total deposits (including
domestic, foreign and public deposits), respectively.  The next largest
competitors were American Savings Bank, F.S.B. and Bank of America, F.S.B.,
with 9% and 8%, respectively, of total deposits.  In addition, out-of-state
mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage firms and other financial services
providers also compete for consumer and commercial business in Hawaii.

Foreign (non-Hawaii) banks and other financial institutions are able to make
loans in Hawaii through Edge Act subsidiaries, finance and mortgage company
subsidiaries and by loan participations with local banks. United States
domestic banks and other financial institutions may make loans directly in
Hawaii by qualifying as "foreign lenders" in Hawaii.  Foreign banks currently
conduct various banking activities in Hawaii, except for retail deposit-taking.
Banks and bank holding companies organized under the laws of Pacific Ocean
jurisdictions with United States dollar-based economies may acquire Hawaii
banks or establish branches in Hawaii, although none have done so to date.
Banks and similar financial institutions of countries other than the United
States may and do have representative offices or agencies in Hawaii.  Under the
rules of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"), federally-chartered
savings associations may open branches in, or merge with another savings
association located in, any state (including Hawaii), subject to certain
conditions.

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, among
other things, eliminated substantially all state law barriers to the
acquisition of banks by out-of-state bank holding companies, effective
September 29, 1995.  The law will also permit interstate branching by banks
effective as of June 1, 1997, subject to the ability of states to opt-out
completely or to set an earlier effective date.  Effective June 1, 1997, Hawaii
law will permit out-of-state banks to acquire branches located in Hawaii by
purchasing or merging with a Hawaii state bank or a national banking
association  having its headquarters located in Hawaii.  However, out-of-state
banks will not be permitted to establish de novo branches or purchase
individual branches located in Hawaii.  The State of Washington, where Pacific
One Bank, N.A. operates, and the States of Oregon and Idaho, where Pacific One
operates, each have adopted similar legislation.  The new federal and state
laws may increase competition within the markets in which the Corporation now
operates, but the Corporation cannot predict whether and to what extent
competition will increase in those markets.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION -

As a bank holding company, the Corporation is subject to supervision and
examination by the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA.  The Corporation will
also be regulated and supervised by the OTS as a savings and loan holding
company until Pioneer is merged into the Bank, scheduled for April 1997.  The
various subsidiaries of the Corporation are subject to regulation and
supervision by the state banking authorities of Hawaii, Oregon and Idaho, as
well as the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the
OTS and various other regulatory agencies.

Holding Company Structure.  In general, the BHCA limits the business of bank
holding companies to owning or controlling banks and engaging in such other
activities as the Federal Reserve Board may determine to be so closely related
to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.  The Corporation must obtain the
prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring direct or indirect
ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such acquisition
it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting
shares of such bank; before merging or consolidating with another bank holding
company; and before acquiring substantially all of the assets of any additional
bank.  With certain exceptions, the BHCA prohibits bank holding companies from
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of any class
of voting shares in any company which is not a bank or a bank holding company,
unless the Federal Reserve Board determines that the activities of such company
are so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.  In
making such determinations, the Federal Reserve Board considers, among other
things, whether the performance of such activities by a bank holding company
would offer benefits to the public that outweigh possible adverse effects.  In
addition, all acquisitions are reviewed by the Department of Justice for
antitrust considerations.

As a holding company, the principal source of the Corporation's cash revenue
has been dividends and interest received from the Bank and other subsidiaries
of the Corporation.  Under Hawaii law, the Bank is prohibited from declaring or
paying any dividends in excess of its retained earnings.  Pioneer, Creditcorp,
Pacific One and Pacific One Bank, N.A. are also subject to regulatory
limitations on the amount of dividends they may declare and pay.  At December
31, 1996, the aggregate amount of dividends that such subsidiaries could pay to
the Corporation under the foregoing limitations without prior regulatory
approval was $345.6 million.  There are also statutory limits on the transfer
of funds to the Corporation and certain of its nonbanking subsidiaries by the
Bank, Pioneer, Creditcorp, Pacific One and Pacific One Bank, N.A., whether in
the form of loans or other extensions of credit, investments or asset
purchases.  Such transfers by the Bank to the Corporation or any such
nonbanking subsidiary are limited in amount to 10% of the Bank's capital and
surplus, or 20% in the aggregate.  Pioneer, Creditcorp, Pacific One and Pacific
One Bank, N.A. are subject to comparable limitations.  Furthermore, such loans
and extensions of credit are required to be collateralized in specified
amounts.

If, in the opinion of the applicable regulatory authority, a bank under its
jurisdiction is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound
practice (which, depending on the financial condition of the bank, could
include the payment of dividends), such authority may require, after notice and
hearing, that such bank cease and desist from such practice.  The Federal
Reserve Board, OCC and FDIC have issued policy statements which provide that,
as a general matter, insured banks and bank holding companies should only pay
dividends out of current operating earnings.  In addition, the regulatory
capital requirements of the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, OCC and OTS may limit
the ability of the Corporation and its insured depository subsidiaries to pay
dividends. See "Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991"
and "Capital Requirements," below.

Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act
as a source of financial strength to each subsidiary bank and to make capital
infusions into a troubled subsidiary bank, and the Federal Reserve Board may
charge the bank holding company with engaging in unsafe and unsound practices
for failure to commit resources to a subsidiary bank.  This capital infusion
may be required at times when the Corporation may not have the resources to
provide it.  Any capital loans by the Corporation to one of its subsidiary
banks would be





                                       7
<PAGE>   10
subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness
of such subsidiary bank.  In connection with its application to the Federal
Reserve Board for authority to acquire Pioneer, the Corporation committed that
Pioneer will meet all present and future minimum capital ratios adopted for
savings associations by the OTS or the FDIC.  In the event of the bankruptcy of
the Corporation, this commitment would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and
be entitled to a priority of payment.

In addition, depository institutions insured by the FDIC can be held liable for
any losses incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC
after August 9, 1989 in connection with (i) the default of a commonly
controlled FDIC-insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided
by the FDIC to a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution in
danger of default.  "Default" is defined generally as the appointment of a
conservator or receiver and "in danger of default" is defined generally as the
existence of certain conditions indicating that a "default" is likely to occur
in the absence of regulatory assistance.  Accordingly, in the event that any
insured subsidiary of the Corporation causes a loss to the FDIC, other insured
subsidiaries of the Corporation could be required to compensate the FDIC by
reimbursing it for the amount of such loss.  Any such obligation by the
Corporation's insured subsidiaries to reimburse the FDIC would rank senior to
their obligations, if any, to the Corporation.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.  A central
feature of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") is the requirement that the federal banking agencies take "prompt
corrective action" with respect to insured depository institutions that do not
meet minimum capital requirements.  FDICIA established five capital levels
applicable to such institutions (including the Bank, Pioneer, Creditcorp,
Pacific One and Pacific One Bank, N.A.):  "well capitalized," "adequately
capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and
"critically undercapitalized."  Under the regulations adopted by the federal
banking agencies to implement these provisions of FDICIA, a depository
institution is "well capitalized" if it has (i) a total risk-based capital
ratio of 10% or greater, (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or
greater, (iii) a leverage ratio of 4% or greater and (iv) is not subject to any
written agreement, order or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital
level for any capital measure.  An "adequately capitalized" institution is
defined as one that has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater,
(ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater and (iii) a leverage
ratio of 4% or greater (or 3% or greater in the case of a bank with a composite
CAMEL rating of 1).  A depository institution is considered (i)
"undercapitalized" if it has (A) a total risk-based capital ratio of less than
8%, (B) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4% or (C) a leverage
ratio of less than 4% (or 3% in the case of an institution with a CAMEL rating
of 1), (ii) "significantly undercapitalized" if it has (A) a total risk-based
capital ratio of less than 6%, (B) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less
than 3% or (C) a leverage ratio of less than 3% and (iii) "critically
undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets equal to
or less than 2%.  An institution may be deemed by the regulators to be in a
capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital
position if, among other things, it receives an unsatisfactory examination
rating.  At December 31, 1996, all of the Corporation's subsidiary depository
institutions were "well capitalized."

FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital
distribution (including payment of a cash dividend) or paying any management
fees to its holding company if the depository institution is, or would
thereafter be, undercapitalized.  Undercapitalized depository institutions are
subject to growth limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration
plan.  The federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without
determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic
assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's
capital.  In addition, for a capital restoration plan to be acceptable, the
depository institution's parent holding company must guarantee that the
institution will comply with such capital restoration plan.  The aggregate
liability of the parent holding company under such guarantee is limited to the
lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5% of the depository institution's total
assets at the time it became undercapitalized, or (ii) the amount which is
necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the institution into
compliance with all capital standards applicable to such institution as of the
time it fails to comply with the plan.  If a depository institution fails to
submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly
undercapitalized.





                                       8
<PAGE>   11
Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a
number of other requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell
sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce
total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks.
Critically undercapitalized institutions may not make any payments of interest
or principal on their subordinated debt and are subject to the appointment of a
receiver or conservator, generally within 90 days of the date such institution
becomes critically undercapitalized.  In addition, the FDIC has adopted
regulations under FDICIA prohibiting an insured depository institution from
accepting brokered deposits (as defined by the regulations) unless the
institution is "well capitalized" or is "adequately capitalized" and receives a
waiver from the FDIC.

The FDIC has implemented a risk-based deposit insurance assessment system under
which the assessment rate for an insured institution may vary according to the
regulatory capital levels of the institution and other factors (including
supervisory evaluations).  Depository institutions insured by the BIF which are
ranked in the top risk classification category currently have no annual
assessment for deposit insurance while all other banks are required to pay
premiums ranging from .03% to .27% of domestic deposits.  As a result of the
enactment on September 30, 1996 of the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1996 (the "Deposit Funds Act"), the deposit insurance premium
assessment rates for depository institutions insured by the SAIF were reduced,
effective January 1, 1997, to the same rates as apply to depository
institutions insured by the BIF.  The Deposit Funds Act also provided for a
one-time assessment of 65.7 basis points on all SAIF-insured deposits in order
to fully recapitalize the SAIF (which assessment was paid by the Corporation in
1996), and imposes annual assessments on all depository institutions to pay
interest on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation (the "FICO") in
connection with the resolution of savings association insolvencies occurring
prior to 1991.  The FICO assessment rate for 1997 will be 1.3 basis points in
the case of BIF-insured institutions, and 6.4 basis points in the case of
SAIF-insured institutions.  These rate schedules are subject to future
adjustments by the FDIC.  In addition, the FDIC has authority to impose special
assessments from time to time, subject to certain limitations specified in the
Deposit Funds Act.

Capital Requirements.  The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are
subject to regulatory capital guidelines issued by the federal banking
agencies.  Information with respect to the applicable capital requirements is
included in "Note 11.  Regulatory Capital Requirements" (page 54) in the
Financial Review section of the Corporation's Annual Report 1996, and is
incorporated herein by reference thereto.

FDICIA required each federal banking agency to revise its risk-based capital
standards to ensure that those standards take adequate account of interest rate
risk, concentration of credit risk and the risk of nontraditional activities,
as well as reflect the actual performance and expected risk of loss on
multi-family mortgages.  On December 15, 1994, the federal banking agencies
adopted amendments to their respective risk-based capital requirements that
explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and certain risks arising
from nontraditional activities, and the management of such risks, as important
factors to consider in assessing an institution's overall capital adequacy.
The amendments do not, however, mandate any specific adjustments to the
risk-based capital calculations as a result of such factors.

In August 1996, the federal banking regulators adopted amendments to their
risk-based capital rules to incorporate a measure for market risk in foreign
exchange and commodity activities and in the trading of debt and equity
instruments.  Under these amendments, which become effective at year-end 1997,
banks with relatively large trading activities will be required to calculate
their capital charges for market risk using their own internal value-at-risk
models (subject to parameters set by the regulators) or, alternatively, risk
management techniques developed by the regulators.  As a result, certain
institutions will be required to hold capital based on the measure of their
market risk exposure in addition to existing capital requirements for credit
risk.  These institutions will be able to satisfy this additional requirement,
in part, by issuing short-term subordinated debt that qualifies as Tier 3
capital.  The Corporation does not expect these amendments to have a material
effect on its business or operations.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES

The Bank indirectly (through two subsidiaries), owns all of a city block in
downtown Honolulu containing 55,775 square feet.  The administrative
headquarters of the Corporation and the Bank, and main branch of the Bank were
formerly located on a portion of the city block.  The buildings were demolished
and the Bank began construction of a modern banking center on this city block.
The headquarters building was completed in September 1996 and includes 418,000
square feet of gross office space.  Information about the lease financing of
the headquarters building is included in "Note 17. Lease Commitments" (pages 58
through 59) in the Financial Review section of the Corporation's Annual Report
1996, which is incorporated herein by reference thereto.

Seventeen of the Bank's offices in Hawaii are located on land owned in fee
simple by the Bank.  Twenty-five of the fifty-three branches operated by
Pioneer, Pacific One and Pacific One Bank, N.A. are located on land owned in
fee simple by the respective companies.  The other branches of the Bank,
Pioneer, Pacific One, Pacific One Bank, N.A. and Creditcorp are situated in
leasehold premises or in buildings constructed by the respective companies on
leased land (see "Note 17.  Lease Commitments" (pages 58 through 59) in the
Financial Review section of the Corporation's Annual Report 1996, which is
incorporated herein by reference thereto).  In addition, the Bank owns an
operations center which is located on 125,919 square feet of land owned in fee
simple by the Bank in an industrial area near downtown Honolulu.  The Bank
occupies all of this four-story building.

The Bank owns a five-story, 75,000 square foot office building, including a
branch, which is situated on property owned in fee simple in Maite, Guam.

ITEM 3.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Various legal proceedings are pending against the Corporation or its
subsidiaries.  The ultimate liability of the Corporation, if any, cannot be
determined at this time.  Based upon consultation with counsel, management does
not expect that the aggregate liability, if any, resulting from these
proceedings would have a material effect on the Corporation's consolidated
financial position.

ITEM 4.        SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

and for such terms as may be prescribed by the Bylaws, which may also provide
for the filling of vacancies on the Board of Directors.  All of the powers of
the corporation, exercisable by authority of law or under this Certificate of
Incorporation, or otherwise, shall be vested in and exercised by, or by the
authority of, the Board of Directors, except as limited by law or the
Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the corporation.  The Board of

Ninth.    Upon any increase in the authorized capital stock of the corporation,
unless the resolution of the shareholders of the corporation authorizing said
increase shall otherwise provide, the Board of Directors shall first offer the
additional authorized stock pro rata to all shareholders of record at such
price and on such terms as the Board of Directors may in each instance fix.
Any shares still remaining unsold thirty (30) days after said offer may then be
sold to any person or persons, on the same terms or terms more favorable to the
corporation, as the Board of Directors may determine.  In the event of the
issue of any additional stock of the corporation for the purposes of
accomplishing the merger with, or of acquiring, any other corporation, bank or

may in each instance deem proper.

other person, firm, corporation, association or other organization, and no act
of the corporation, shall in any way be affected or invalidated by the fact
that any of the directors or officers of the corporation are parties to such
contract, transaction or act or are pecuniarily or otherwise interested in the
same or are directors or officers or members of any such other firm,
corporation, association or other organization, provided that the interest of
such director shall be disclosed or shall have been known to the Board of
Directors authorizing or approving the same, or to a majority thereof.  Any
director of the corporation who is a party to such transaction, contract, or
act or who is pecuniarily or otherwise interested in the same or is a director
or officer or member of such other firm, corporation, association or other
organization, may be counted in determining a quorum of any meeting of the
Board of Directors which shall authorize or approve any such contract,
transaction or act, and may vote thereon with like force and effect as if he
were in no way interested therein.  Neither any director nor any officer of the
corporation, being so interested in any such contract, transaction or act of
the corporation which shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the
corporation, nor any such other person, firm, corporation, association or other
organization in which such director may be a director,

shareholder thereof, solely by reason of being an interested person, for any
loss incurred by the corporation pursuant to or by reason or such contract,
transaction or act, or for any gain received by any such other party pursuant
thereto or by reason thereof.

Thirteenth.  To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law as it exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of this
corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                           First Hawaiian, Inc. and Subsidiaries
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
     The Company recorded consolidated net income for 1996 of $80,296,000, an
increase of 4.3%, or $3,291,000, over $77,005,000 in 1995. On a per share basis,
consolidated net income for 1996 was $2.56, an increase of 5.3% over 1995. The
proportionately greater increase in earnings per share was attributable in part
to the fewer average number of shares outstanding in 1996 as compared to 1995,
as a result of the Company's stock repurchase program previously mentioned.
     The increase in consolidated net income in 1996 was primarily attributable
to: (1) the purchase of 31 branches in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, which were
being divested by U.S. Bancorp and West One Bancorp as a result of their merger;
and (2) the purchase of ANB Financial Corporation. The above acquisitions
(collectively referred to as the "Pacific Northwest Acquisitions"), reported a
combined net income of $2,282,000 in 1996. In addition, the Company recorded an
income tax benefit of $2,800,000 (resulting primarily from the recognition of
previously unrecognized tax credits) which reduced the overall income tax
expense. These increases were partially offset by an after-tax charge of
$2,309,000 resulting from the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF")/Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF") legislation enacted on September 30, 1996. The Deposit
Insurance Funds Act of 1996 imposed a special one-time assessment at a rate of
65.7 cents per $100 of deposits on institutions holding SAIF-insured deposits on
March 31, 1995, in order to recapitalize the SAIF fund. Exclusive of the special
SAIF one-time assessment, consolidated net income for 1996 was $82,605,000, an
increase of 7.3% over 1995.
     In recent years, and especially during the latter half of 1995 and
throughout 1996, the level of the Company's nonperforming assets and charge-offs
has increased due to the following adverse economic trends: (1) prolonged
economic downturn in Hawaii and related weakness in the local real estate
market, including declining values in the leasehold real estate sector; and (2)
lingering effects of Hurricane Iniki on the economy of the island of Kauai. The
Company's nonperforming assets, principally loans collateralized by real estate
and other real estate owned, totalled 1.68% and 1.75% of total loans and other
real estate owned as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, compared to
1.14%, 1.44% and 1.65% at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Net
charge-offs to average loans were .44%, .38% and .46% for 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, compared to .27% in 1993 and 1992. As a result, the provision for
loan losses was $23,627,000, $38,107,000 and $22,922,000 for 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively, compared to $13,262,000 and $12,812,000 in 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
     Consolidated net income for 1995 increased by $4,494,000, or 6.2%, over
1994. Consolidated net income per share for 1995 was $2.43 compared to $2.25 in
1994. The increase in earnings was primarily due to: (1) a pre-tax gain of
$20,766,000 (recorded as a pension credit in the employee benefits line of the
Consolidated Statements of Income on page 44) in connection with the curtailment
of the Company's noncontributory pension plan; (2) the decrease in FDIC
insurance expense of $5,198,000 primarily as a result of a reduction in the
insurance premiums from 23 cents to 4 cents per $100 of deposits effective June
1, 1995; and (3) the receipt of insurance proceeds and reversal of accruals
totalling $4,700,000 related to losses in the trust area recognized in 1994. In
December 1994, the Company recognized a pre-tax charge of $5,000,000 to cover
estimated losses attributable to investments in the trust area that were outside
of certain clients' express investment guidelines. The increase in earnings was
partially offset by a higher provision for loan losses of $15,185,000 in 1995
over 1994.
     At December 31, 1996, the Company's ratios of Tier 1 Capital to
risk-weighted assets, Total Capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 Capital
to average assets were 8.42%, 11.85% and 7.32%, respectively, compared with
9.03%, 11.88% and 7.72%, respectively, at December 31, 1995. These ratios are
well in excess of the minimum ratios of 4.00%, 8.00% and 3.00%, respectively,
specified by the Federal Reserve Board.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST ACQUISITIONS
     On May 31, 1996, for a purchase price of $36 million, the Company acquired
31 branches in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, which were being divested by U.S.
Bancorp and West One Bancorp as a result of their merger. This transaction
included the purchase of loans of $400 million and assumption of deposits of
$687 million.
     On July 31, 1996, for a purchase price of $18 million, the Company acquired
ANB Financial Corporation, a bank holding company, and its subsidiary, American
National Bank, which had total loans of $51 million and total deposits of $67
million at the date of acquisition.

NET INTEREST INCOME
     As reflected in Table 1 on page 27, net interest income, on a taxable
equivalent basis, increased $23,548,000, or 7.9%, from $299,707,000 in 1995 to
$323,255,000 in 1996. This increase was primarily due to the Pacific Northwest
Acquisitions and a 21 basis point (1% equals 100 basis points) increase in the
net interest margin. Net interest income decreased by $3,717,000, or 1.2%, from
1994 to 1995 primarily due to a 27 basis point decrease in the net interest
margin, partially offset by a 4.8% increase in average earning assets,
reflecting significant loan growth. Tables 1 and 2 present an analysis of the
components and changes in net interest income for 1996, 1995 and 1994.
     The net interest margin was 4.57% for 1996, up 21 basis points over 1995.
The increase was due to a 28 basis point decrease in the rate paid for sources
of funds used for average earning assets, which exceeded a 7 basis point
decrease in the yield on average earning assets. The decrease in the rate paid
for sources of funds reflected, among other things, an increase in average
noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $73,550,000, or 8.8%, and the positive
impact of interest rate swaps designed to stabilize the net interest margin. In
1996, there was a favorable impact of $5,684,000 due to interest rate swaps
which were used to hedge deposit accounts.
     The decrease in the yield on average earning assets was affected by the
following events in 1995: (1) the reversal of $1,806,000 in previously
recognized interest income on certain loans placed on nonaccrual status; and (2)
the write-off of $743,000 in lease finance interest income for the remaining net
investment in certain leveraged leases, exclusive of the residual values, as a
result of the early termination of these leases.
     As a result of increases in interest rates in 1995, the rate paid for
sources of funds used for earning assets increased 112 basis points and the
yield on average earning assets increased 85 basis points, which resulted in a
decrease in the net interest margin from 4.63% in 1994 to 4.36%. The 112 basis
point increase in the rate paid for sources of funds reflected the general
increase in interest rates as well as a shift in our funding mix toward
higher-cost funding sources.
     Average earning assets increased by $194,908,000, or 2.8%, in 1996 over
1995, primarily due to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. In addition, in the
second quarter of 1995, the Company securitized approximately $461,449,000 of
adjustable rate mortgage loans with the Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA") in order to increase its funding capacity and liquidity. The securities
backed by these loans are held by the Company and were reclassified to the
investment security portfolio. Excluding the effects of such securitization and
the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, the investment securities portfolio
reflected a decrease of $208,704,000, or 22.9%, compared to 1995. The decrease
was a reflection of reduced levels of state and local government funds
requiring collateralization and the ongoing adjustments to the investment
portfolio resulting from the securitization in 1995.
     Average loans increased by $49,580,000, or .9%, in 1996 over 1995 primarily
due to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. Excluding the effects of the Pacific
Northwest Acquisitions and loan securitization, average loans in 1996 remained
relatively constant compared to 1995. The Company continues its efforts to
diversify the loan portfolio, both geographically and by industry. Credit
extensions to companies in the media and telecommunications industry located on
the mainland United States offset the decline in the balances of loans
collateralized by real estate. As a result (excluding the effects of the Pacific
Northwest Acquisitions and loan securitization), the mix of average earning
assets continues to change, with average loans representing 84.0% of average
earning assets for 1996 as compared to 82.8% in 1995.
     Average earning assets increased by $317,978,000, or 4.8%, in 1995 over
1994. In addition, the mix of earning assets changed slightly, as the Company
increased the average amount of loans in its portfolio, from 78.9% of average
earning assets in 1994 to 82.8% in 1995. Average loans, excluding the impact of
the loan securitization, increased 10.1% from 1994 to 1995.
     Average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities increased by
$124,535,000, or 2.1%, in 1996 over 1995 primarily due to the Pacific Northwest
Acquisitions and deposits acquired from a depository financial services company
in the fourth quarter of 1995. In addition, the Company issued $50 million of
long-term subordinated debt during the second quarter of 1996 to fund the
Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. Excluding the impact of the Pacific Northwest
Acquisitions, average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities decreased by
$281,202,000, or 4.8%, in 1996 compared to 1995.

This decrease reflected the repayment of short-term borrowings from proceeds
received from the run-off of the investment securities portfolio. Depositors
were seeking higher yields, and thus were placing more money into time deposits
as opposed to savings accounts. As a result, the higher-yielding time deposits
represented 39.8% of average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities in 1996,
as compared to 33.9% in 1995. As reflected in Table 2 on page 28, the decrease
in total interest expense for interest-bearing deposits and liabilities of
$12,502,000 from 1995 to 1996 included an increase of $23,765,000 primarily due
to higher average balances in time deposits.
     Average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities increased by
$294,061,000, or 5.3%, in 1995 over 1994, principally as a result of an increase
in average interest-bearing deposits. As reflected in Table 2, the increase in
total interest expense for interest-bearing deposits and liabilities of
$85,609,000 from 1994 to 1995 was comprised of an increase of $63,872,000 due to
higher interest rates and an increase of $21,737,000 due to higher average
balances.

TABLE 1: AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE, AND YIELDS AND RATES
(TAXABLE EQUIVALENT BASIS) 
     The following table sets forth the condensed consolidated average balance
sheets, an analysis of interest income/expense and average yield/rate for each
major category of earning assets and interest-bearing deposits and liabilities
for the years indicated on a taxable equivalent basis. The tax equivalent
adjustment is made for items exempt from Federal income taxes (assuming a 35%
tax rate for 1996, 1995 and 1994) to make them comparable with taxable items
before any income taxes are applied.

TABLE 2: ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN NET INTEREST INCOME (TAXABLE EQUIVALENT BASIS)
     The following table analyzes the dollar amount of change (on a taxable
equivalent basis) in interest income and expense and the changes in dollar
amounts attributable to (a) changes in volume (change in volume times prior
year's rates), (b) changes in rates (change in rate times prior year's volume),
and (c) changes in rate/volume (change in rate times change in volume). In this
table, the dollar change in rate/volume is prorated to volume and rate
proportionately. The tax equivalent adjustment is made for items exempt from
Federal income taxes (assuming a 35% tax rate for 1996, 1995 and 1994) to make
them comparable with taxable items before any income taxes are applied.

NONINTEREST INCOME
     Total noninterest income increased $7,449,000, or 7.9%, from $94,878,000 in
1995 to $102,327,000 in 1996. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions,
total noninterest income increased $4,054,000, or 4.3%.
     Trust fees increased $823,000, or 3.6%, from 1995 to 1996 and $187,000, or
 .8%, from 1994 to 1995. The increase was primarily the result of increases in
fees from irrevocable trusts and investment management fees resulting from new
business.
     Service charges on deposit accounts increased $2,134,000, or 8.8%, from
1995 to 1996 and $136,000, or .6%, from 1994 to 1995. Excluding the Pacific
Northwest Acquisitions, service charges on deposit accounts increased $500,000,
or 2.1%, from 1995 to 1996. The increase was attributable to an increase in fees
on checks returned and paid.
     Other service charges and fees increased $4,297,000, or 12.1%, from 1995 to
1996 and $3,614,000, or 11.3%, from 1994 to 1995. The increase from 1995 to 1996
was primarily as a result of the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, higher merchant
discount fees, commissions from annuity and mutual fund sales and mortgage
brokerage fees. Increases in fee income from higher merchant discount fees and
commissions from annuity and mutual fund sales accounted for the increase from
1994 to 1995.
     Other noninterest income increased $221,000, or 1.8%, from 1995 to 1996 and
$4,303,000, or 55.9%, from 1994 to 1995. The modest increase from 1995 to 1996
was attributable to a commission paid to the Company for renewal of an agreement
to sell disability insurance to loan product customers. The increase from 1994
to 1995 was primarily attributable to the receipt of insurance proceeds and
reversal of accruals totalling $4,700,000 in 1995 related to losses in the trust
area recognized in 1994. In December 1994, the Company recognized a nonrecurring
pre-tax charge of $5,000,000 (recorded in other noninterest expenses) to cover
estimated losses attributable to investments made in the trust area that were
outside of certain clients' express investment guidelines.

     Components of and changes in noninterest income are reflected below for the
years indicated:

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
     The provision for loan losses is based upon management's judgment as to the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (the "Allowance") to absorb future
losses. The Company uses a systematic methodology to determine the adequacy of
the Allowance and provision for loan losses to be reported for financial
statement purposes. The determination of the adequacy of the Allowance is
ultimately one of management judgment, which includes consideration of many
factors, including the amount of problem and potential problem loans, net
charge-off experience, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio quality,
general economic factors and the fair value of collateral securing the loans.
     Each quarter, specific allocations of the Allowance are assigned to
individual loan relationships when periodic status reports indicate that a
future loss is probable. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,"
amended in October 1994 by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures," the measurement process compares
the loan balance to: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; (2) the loan's observable
market price; and/or (3) the fair value of the collateral as established by
appraisal. The total amount allocated also includes an allocation for loans
which are not reviewed on a loan by loan basis based on a three-year moving
average historical ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding by loan
category.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     As the table on page 31 illustrates, the provision for loan losses for 1996
was $23,627,000, a decrease of 38.0%, or $14,480,000, compared to 1995. In 1995,
the Company increased its provision for loan losses by $15,185,000, or 66.2%,
over 1994. The 1995 increase reflected, among other factors, the Company's
evaluation of the impact of adverse economic conditions and trends in Hawaii (in
particular, events reflecting the prolonged effect of the 1992 recession on the
Hawaii economy) and loan concentrations.
     The first and most important of these adverse economic trends was the
continuing weakness of the Hawaii economy's recovery from the 1992 recession. In
contrast to the mainland economy, Hawaii's recovery from the recession has been
slow and protracted; Hawaii continued to show weaknesses in its local real
estate market, especially during the latter half of 1995, including declining
values in the leasehold real estate sector.
     The second significant adverse economic trend was the nagging effect of
Hurricane Iniki in September 1992. The island of Kauai has never totally
recovered from the damage to resort, hotel and agricultural property and the
extended insurance claim period that followed. In addition, in the third quarter
of 1995, a major sugar plantation on Kauai closed, further exacerbating the
existing high levels of unemployment.
     The provision for loan losses in 1996 decreased from 1995, partly as a
result of the decrease in nonperforming loans, but remained relatively high in
comparison to the Company's historical trend prior to 1994 due to, among other
factors, the continuing impact of the adverse economic conditions and trends in
Hawaii, the increase in net charge-offs and nonperforming assets over 1995, as
well as the potential problem loans as discussed in the section titled
"Nonperforming Assets and Past Due Loans" on page 37.
     Net charge-offs in 1996 totalled $24,218,000 compared to $20,624,000 in
1995. Net charge-offs in 1996 and 1995 represented .44% and .38%, respectively,
of average outstanding loans. The increase in commercial, financial and
agricultural loan charge-offs was primarily due to the charge-off of three
loans, partially collateralized by real estate, totalling $4,318,000 in the
fourth quarter of 1996. The increase in consumer loan charge-offs was primarily
attributable to the record number of personal bankruptcies in the state of
Hawaii, which resulted in a 25% increase in write-offs of credit card loans.
However, charge-offs in this profitable line of business remain well below
national average rates. The anticipated amount of net charge-offs in 1997 is
estimated to be 30-40 basis points of average outstanding loans.
     At December 31, 1996, the Allowance totalled $85,248,000 and represented
1.47% of total outstanding loans compared to $78,733,000 and 1.50% as of
December 31, 1995.
     The Allowance increased to 117.7% of nonperforming loans at December 31,
1996 (excluding 90 days or more past due accruing loans) from 95.0% at December
31, 1995, reflecting the decrease in nonperforming loans in 1996 compared to
1995. In management's judgment, the Allowance is adequate to absorb potential
losses currently inherent in the portfolio at December 31, 1996. However,
changes in prevailing economic conditions in the Company's markets could result
in changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs in the future
and, accordingly, changes in the Allowance.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES
     Total noninterest expenses for 1996 totalled $284,211,000, an increase of
$54,918,000, or 24.0%, over 1995. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions
in 1996 and a nonrecurring gain of $20,766,000 recognized in 1995 in connection
with the curtailment of the Company's noncontributory pension plan, total
noninterest expenses increased $17,208,000, or 6.9%, over 1995.
     Total personnel expense for 1996 increased $37,388,000, or 36.9%, over
1995. The increase was primarily due to the aforementioned nonrecurring gain of
$20,766,000 in 1995 and the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. Excluding the
previously mentioned nonrecurring gain and Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, total
personnel expense increased $7,872,000, or 6.4%. The increase was primarily due
to an increase in employee benefit costs associated with the curtailment of a
noncontributory pension plan in the fourth quarter of 1995, which was replaced
with a defined contribution money purchase plan and enhanced matching to an
existing 401K plan, effective January 1, 1996. Also, higher salaries and wages
reflecting normal merit increases contributed to the increase.
     Occupancy expense increased $1,339,000, or 5.2%, over 1995 primarily as a
result of the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. Excluding the Pacific Northwest
Acquisitions, occupancy expense increased $403,000, or 1.6%, over 1995 primarily
due to higher building maintenance expenses. In the coming year, occupancy
expense is expected to increase by approximately $10.3 million as the Company
will have paid a full year of its rent obligation related to its new
headquarters building. Additional information on the lease agreement is provided
in Note 17 to the Financial Statements on page 58.
     Equipment expense decreased $1,227,000, or 5.1%, compared to 1995. The
decrease was due to decreases in service contracts, depreciation on furniture
and equipment and equipment rental expense. These decreases were partially
offset by increased equipment expenses related to the Pacific Northwest
Acquisitions. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, equipment expense
decreased $1,985,000, or 8.3%, compared to 1995.
     Deposit insurance expense decreased $910,000, or 14.7%, compared to 1995.
The decrease was due to the reduction in the FDIC assessment rate from 23 cents
to 4 cents per $100 of deposits effective June 1, 1995 and from 4 cents to zero
effective January 1, 1996. The decrease was partially offset by a charge of
$3,849,000 resulting from the aforementioned BIF/SAIF legislation enacted on
September 30, 1996.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Other expenses increased $17,411,000, or 31.1%, over 1995 as a result of
the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, higher merchant interchange fees, outside
services, legal fees (primarily related to foreclosed property), depreciation on
software and losses in connection with a certain credit card fraud.
     Noninterest expenses decreased $19,028,000, or 7.7%, from 1994 to 1995.
This decrease was primarily due to the aforementioned nonrecurring gain of
$20,766,000 in connection with the curtailment of the Company's noncontributory
pension plan and decrease in deposit insurance expense resulting from the
reduction in the FDIC assessment rate effective June 1, 1995. This decrease was
partially offset by higher salaries and wages, depreciation, insurance and
rental expenses.
     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 provides for, but does not require
the use of, an alternative method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation plans (the "fair value based method"). The Company presently
utilizes the "intrinsic value based method" of accounting prescribed in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APBO") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees." As permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected
to remain with the accounting prescribed in APBO No. 25 and will instead
present, if material, certain pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings
per share in the notes to the financial statements, as if the fair value based
method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Accordingly, the
adoption of this standard did not have an effect on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company.

     Components of and changes in noninterest expenses are reflected below for
the years indicated:

INCOME TAXES
     The provision for income taxes as shown in the Consolidated Statements of
Income on page 44 represents 30.7% of pre-tax income for 1996, compared with
37.0% and 35.0% for 1995 and 1994, respectively.
     On a taxable equivalent basis, the effective tax rate for 1996, 1995 and
1994 was 32.3%, 41.1% and 41.6%, respectively. Additional information on the
Company's income taxes is provided in Note 15 to the Financial Statements on
page 57.
     The decrease in the 1996 effective tax rate was primarily due to the: (1)
recognition of previously unrecognized tax credits of $2,800,000; (2) reversal
of deferred tax liabilities (reflecting a change in the State tax laws) relating
to the sale of a certain leveraged lease of $2,344,000; and (3) reversal of
deferred tax liabilities (reflecting legislation enacted in 1996) relating to
the provision for thrift bad debt deductions of $1,500,000.

     The loan portfolio is the largest component of total earning assets and
accounts for the greatest portion of total interest income. At December 31,
1996, total loans were $5,806,732,000, an increase of 10.4% over December 31,
1995. The increase was primarily attributable to the Pacific Northwest
Acquisitions.
     Total loans at December 31, 1996, represented 72.6% of total assets, 82.0%
of total earning assets and 97.8% of total deposits compared to 69.5% of total
assets, 77.7% of total earning assets and 98.2% of total deposits at December
31, 1995. The increases in percentages over December 31, 1995, were primarily
due to the aforementioned Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. Governmental and
certain other time deposits were shifted into security repurchase agreements at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, to reduce the Company's deposit insurance premiums.
If these repurchase agreements had been included in the deposit base, total
loans as a percentage of total deposits would represent 88.0% and 85.7%,
respectively, at such dates.
     Commercial, financial and agricultural loans as of December 31, 1996,
increased $66,088,000, or 5.0%, to $1,381,824,000 from December 31, 1995.
Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions mentioned above, loans in this
category would have decreased 6.0% compared to December 31, 1995. Although the
Company continues its efforts to diversify the loan portfolio, both
geographically and by industry, overall loan volume in the state of Hawaii has
declined as a result of the sluggish economy. Credit extensions in the media and
telecommunications industry located on the mainland United States account for
the majority of the diversification by industry.
     The Company's primary goal in commercial and financial lending is to
maintain reasonable levels of risk by following conservative underwriting
guidelines primarily based on cash flow. Most commercial and financial loans are
collateralized and/or supported by viable guarantors with sound net worths.
Unsecured loans are made to customers of good character with sound net worths,
above average liquidity and strong repayment ability.
     The Company's real estate loans totalled $3,321,239,000, or 57.2% of total
loans at December 31, 1996, and represented an increase of 10.0% over December
31, 1995. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions mentioned above, real
estate loans at December 31, 1996 would have remained relatively constant
compared to December 31, 1995. In 1995, the Company securitized $461,449,000 in
adjustable rate mortgage loans in an effort to increase its funding capacity and
liquidity. These securitized loans were classified in the investment security
portfolio at December 31, 1995.
     The Company's primary goal in real estate lending is to maintain reasonable
levels of risk by financing selective real estate projects, by adhering to
underwriting guidelines and by closely monitoring general economic conditions
impacting local real estate markets. The Company's multifamily and commercial
real estate loans, both construction and permanent, are analyzed on the basis of
the economic viability of the specific project or property for which financing
is sought as well as the loan-to-value ratio of the real estate securing the
financing and the underlying financial strength of the borrower. In its
multifamily and commercial real estate lending the Company will generally not
lend in excess of 75% of the appraised value of the underlying project or
property; it generally also requires a debt service ratio of 1.20. In its
single-family residential lending, the Company will generally not lend in excess
of 80% of the appraised value of the underlying property. Loans made in excess
of that limit are generally cov-

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

ered by third-party mortgage insurance that reduces the Company's equivalent
risk to an 80% loan-to-appraised value ratio.
     Consumer loans consist primarily of open and closed ended direct and
indirect credit facilities for personal, automobile and household purchases.
     Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned
to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be
similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At December 31, 1996, the
Company did not have a concentration of loans greater than 10% of total loans
which were not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans as shown in the table
on page 34.
     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting
for Mortgage Servicing Rights." SFAS No. 122 amends SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for
Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," to require that mortgage banking
enterprises recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for
others. SFAS No. 122 also requires that mortgage banking enterprises assess
capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the fair value of those rights on
a disaggregated basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material
effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOAN MATURITIES
     The contractual maturities of loans do not necessarily reflect the actual
term of the Company's loan portfolio. The Company's experience has been that the
average life of real estate loans is substantially less than their contractual
terms because of loan prepayments and, with respect to fixed-rate loans,
enforcement of due-on-sale clauses. Due-on-sale clauses give the Company the
right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other
things, that the borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and
the loan is not repaid. In general, the average life of real estate loans tends
to increase when current interest rates exceed rates on existing real estate
loans. Correspondingly, prepayments tend to increase when current interest rates
are below the rates on existing real estate loans. Because the volume of such
prepayments fluctuates depending upon changes in both the absolute level of
interest rates and the relationship between fixed and adjustable-rate loan
rates, the average life of the Company's fixed-rate real estate loans has varied
widely.
     At December 31, 1996, loans with maturities over one year were comprised of
fixed rate loans totalling $1,327,120,000 and floating or adjustable rate loans
totalling $3,081,220,000.

     The following table sets forth the contractual maturities of the Company's
loan portfolio by loan categories at December 31, 1996. Demand loans are
included as due within one year.

     As shown in the table on page 36, nonperforming assets at December 31, 1996
were $97,982,000, or 1.68% of total loans and other real estate owned ("OREO")
and 1.22% of total assets. These levels compared to total nonperforming assets
at December 31, 1995 of $92,227,000, or 1.75% of total loans and OREO, and 1.22%
of total assets. The increase in nonperforming assets of $5,755,000, or 6.2%,
was principally due to increases in: (1) restructured commercial real estate
loans, which increased $22,104,000; and (2) OREO, which increased $16,262,000.
The increase in the restructured commercial real estate loan portfolio was due
to the addition of a commercial real estate loan totalling $15,969,000 in the
fourth quarter of 1996. In addition, the increase in OREO and corresponding
decrease in nonaccrual commercial real estate loans were due to foreclosure on
eight commercial real estate loans totalling $17,960,000. In addition, a loan
totalling $10,028,000 was paid in full in 1996. The increase was partially
offset by the sale of two commercial real estate properties in 1996 with book
values totalling $6,443,000.
     The recovery of the Hawaii economy has been slow and the effects of the
economic downturn may continue to affect the level of nonperforming assets and
related charge-offs in future periods.
     Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totalled
$30,382,000 at December 31, 1996, an increase of 5.5% over December 31, 1995.
All of the loans which are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest
are, in management's judgment, adequately collateralized and in the process of
collection.
     At the end of the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company identified a
potential problem loan of $34,524,000 where possible credit problems of the
borrower caused management to have serious concerns as to the ability of such
borrower to comply with the present loan repayment terms. Such loan consisted of
a commercial real estate loan, which was 30 days past due as of December 31,
1996. If current conditions continue, such loan may be disclosed in future
periods as a nonperforming asset.
     The following table presents information related to loans on a nonaccrual
basis for the year ended December 31, 1996:

DEPOSITS
     Deposits are the largest component of the Company's total liabilities and
account for the greatest portion of total interest expense. At December 31,
1996, total deposits were $5,936,708,000, an increase of $578,395,000, or 10.8%,
over December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily due to deposits acquired in
connection with the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, which totalled $705,565,000
at December 31, 1996.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
     Liquidity refers to the Company's ability to provide sufficient cash flows
to fund operations and to meet obligations and commitments on a timely basis at
reasonable costs. The Company achieves its liquidity objectives from both assets
and liabilities.
     Asset-based liquidity is derived from its investment securities portfolio
and short-term investments which can be readily converted to cash. These liquid
assets consist of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits, Federal
funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell and investment
securities. The aggregate of these assets represented 21.1% of total assets at
the end of 1996 compared to 25.0% at the end of 1995. Additional information
related to the Company's off-balance sheet instruments at December 31, 1996 and
1995 is included in Note 18 to the Financial Statements on page 59.
     Liability-based liquidity is provided primarily from deposits. Average
total deposits for 1996 increased $439,257,000, or 8.5%, to $5,617,609,000,
primarily due to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. Average total deposits for
1996 and 1995 funded 72.4% and 68.8%, respectively, of average total assets.
     Additional liquidity was provided from short-term borrowings, which
consisted of commercial paper issued by the Company, Federal funds purchased and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, lines of credit from other banks
and credit facilities from the FHLB. Additional information on short-term
borrowings is provided in Note 8 to the Financial Statements on page 52. Also,
the Company has access to offshore deposits in the international market which
provides another available source of funds.
     The Company's commercial paper is assigned a rating of A2 by Standard &
Poor's ("S&P"). The Company's subordinated debt is assigned a rating of Baa-1 by
Moody's Investors Service and BBB by S&P. The Company currently has a Thomson
BankWatch, Inc. rating of B.
     As indicated in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on page 46, net
cash provided by operating and investing activities was $428,705,000 and net
cash used in financing activities was $399,245,000 for 1996. For 1995, net cash
provided by operating activities was $140,119,000 and net cash used in investing
and financing activities was $98,962,000. For 1994, net cash provided by
operating and financing activities was $311,729,000 and net cash used in
investing activities was $484,964,000. In 1996, there was a significant change
in the Company's cash flow which centered around the Pacific Northwest
Acquisitions. The purchase of 31 branches provided $218,966,000 in cash as
deposits assumed exceeded the purchase price of the branches and loans
purchased. The net cash inflow was utilized to, among other things, fund loan
growth and reduce short-term borrowings. In 1995, the Company utilized deposit
growth and the run-off of the investment security portfolio as the principal
sources of funds for loan production and repayment of short-term borrowings. In
1994, as interest rates declined and deposit volume slowed, the Company utilized
short-term borrowings to fund loan growth.
     The Company's ability to pay dividends depends primarily upon dividends and
other payments from its subsidiaries, which are subject to certain limitations
as described in Note 12 to the Financial Statements on page 54.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
     The Company actively measures and manages its exposure to interest rate
risk in order to maintain a relatively stable net interest margin and to allow
it to take advantage of profitable business opportunities.
     Interest rate risk refers to the exposure to earnings and capital arising
from changes in future interest rates. The Company carefully measures and
monitors its interest rate risk exposure using interest rate sensitivity gap
analysis, market value of equity analysis, and net interest income simulations.
     The market value of equity analysis and net interest income simulations are
usually done on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if there have been major
changes to the balance sheet or interest rates. The market value of equity
analysis examines the change in the economic value of the Company due to changes
in interest rates. As of December 31, 1996, the Company remained well within
current guidelines which allow for no more than a decrease in value equal to 1%
of total assets due to a 1% change in interest rates. The net interest income
simulations look at how the Company's net interest income is affected from flat,
rising, or declining rates using the current balance sheet and simulating net
interest income going forward two years. Under these simulations, at December
31, 1996, the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates was well within
current guidelines which allow for no more than a 10% adverse change in net
interest income for a 1% change in rates over one year.
     Interest rate risk exposure is managed through the use of off-balance sheet
instruments such as swaps or floors and through extending or shortening the
duration of the investment securities portfolio.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
     The Company's interest rate sensitivity position as of December 31, 1996,
is presented below. The interest rate sensitivity gap, shown at the bottom of
the table, refers to the difference between assets and liabilities subject to
repricing, maturity, runoff and/or volatility during a specified period. The gap
is adjusted for interest rate swaps which are hedging certain assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet. (For ease of analysis, all of these swap
adjustments are consolidated into one line on the gap table.)
     Since all interest rates and yields do not adjust at the same velocity or
magnitude, and since volatility is subject to change, the gap is only a general
indicator of interest rate sensitivity. At December 31, 1996, the cumulative
one-year gap for the Company was a positive $222.1 million, representing 2.78%
of total assets.

YEAR 2000
     Many of the Company's information systems use a two-digit representation
for the year. As a result, the year 2000 may produce erroneous results in
calculations made by affected systems because there is a question as to how
existing application software programs will react when the two-digit year
becomes "00". In anticipation of this, management is currently assessing the
impact of the year 2000 on the Company's operations and is working with the
appropriate application vendors and consultants to formulate and implement the
most cost-effective approach to resolving this issue. The associated cost
requirements to address this issue have not yet been determined.

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
     Earnings for the fourth quarter of 1996 were $20,348,000, an increase of
$652,000, or 3.3%, over the $19,696,000 earned during the same quarter in 1995.
Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 1996 were up 1.6% to $.64, compared
to $.63 for the year-earlier period.
     Earnings in the fourth quarter of 1996 were negatively impacted by an
additional provision for loan losses of $7,100,000 resulting from the impact of
adverse economic trends, the continued weakness of the local real estate market
and certain commercial real estate loan charge-offs. In addition, the Company
recognized a write-down of other real estate owned of $1,026,000. The above
charges to earnings were partially offset by an income tax benefit of $2,800,000
(resulting primarily from the recognition of previously unrecognized tax
credits) which reduced the overall income tax expense.
     The earnings for the fourth quarter of 1995 included: (1) an increase in
the provision for loan losses of $17,500,000; (2) a pre-tax gain of $20,766,000
(recorded as a pension credit in total noninterest expenses below) in connection
with the curtailment of the Company's noncontributory pension plan; and (3) a
decrease in FDIC insurance expense of $2,228,000 primarily as a result of a
reduction in the insurance premiums from 23 cents to 4 cents per $100.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES BY MATURITIES AND WEIGHTED AVERAGE YIELDS
     The following table presents the maturities of available-for-sale
investment securities, excluding securities which have no stated maturity at
December 31, 1996, and the weighted average yields (for obligations exempt from
Federal income taxes on a taxable equivalent basis assuming a 35% tax rate) of
such securities. The tax equivalent adjustment is made for items exempt from
Federal income taxes to make them comparable with taxable items before any
income taxes are applied.

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS
FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First
Hawaiian, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.
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 audit 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of First Hawaiian,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         The accounting and reporting policies of First Hawaiian, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") conform with generally accepted accounting
principles and practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary
of the significant accounting policies:

CONSOLIDATION
         The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
accounts of First Hawaiian, Inc. (the "Parent") and its wholly-owned subsidiary
companies--First Hawaiian Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Bank");
Pioneer Federal Savings Bank ("Pioneer"); Pacific One Bank ("Pacific One"); ANB
Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific One Bank, N.A.;
First Hawaiian Creditcorp, Inc. ("Creditcorp"); FHL Lease Holding Company, Inc.
and its wholly-owned subsidiary ("Leasing"); and FHI International, Inc. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         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
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
         Cash and due from banks include amounts from other financial
institutions as well as in-transit clearings. Under the terms of the Depository
Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act, the Company is required to
place reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank based on the amounts of deposits
held. For 1996, 1995 and 1994, the average amount of these reserve balances were
$134,032,000, $123,648,000 and $127,339,000, respectively.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
         Investment securities consist principally of debt instruments issued by
the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government agencies and corporations, state and
local government units and asset-backed securities.
         Investments in and obligations to individual counterparties are
presented as net amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the Company
only if the conditions specified in Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") Interpretation No. 39, "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain
Contracts," are met. No such netting occurred as of December 31, 1996 and 1995.
         Investment securities are classified in three categories and accounted
for as follows: (1) held-to-maturity securities are debt securities, which the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are
reported at amortized cost; (2) trading securities are debt securities, which
are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term
and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in
current earnings; and (3) available-for-sale securities are debt securities,
which are not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading
securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses
excluded from current earnings and reported in a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
         In December 1995, the Company made a one-time reclassification of its
investment securities portfolio from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale as
allowed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which
resulted in an unrealized gain of $8,606,000.
         Gains and losses realized on the sales of investment securities are
determined using the specific identification method.

LOANS
         Loans are stated at their principal outstanding amounts, net of any
unearned discounts. Interest income on loans is accrued and recognized on the
principal amount outstanding.
         Loan origination fees and substantially all loan commitment fees are
generally deferred and accounted for as an adjustment of the yield.
         Lease financing transactions consist of two types:
            (1) Equipment without outside financing is accounted for using the
direct financing method with income recognized over the life of the lease based
upon a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease.
            (2) Leveraged lease transactions are subject to outside financing
through one or more participants, without recourse to the Company. These
transactions are accounted for by recording as the net investment in each lease
the aggregate of rentals receivable (net of principal and interest on the
related nonrecourse debt) and estimated residual value of the equipment less the
unearned income. Income from these lease transactions is recognized during the
periods in which the net investment is positive.
         Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when serious doubt exists as to
the collectibility of the principal and/or interest. When loans are placed on
nonaccrual status, any accrued and unpaid interest is reversed against interest
income of the current period. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are
applied as a reduction of the principal when concern exists as to the



                                       47

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ultimate collection of the principal; otherwise, such payments are recorded as
income. Loans are removed from nonaccrual status when they become current as to
both principal and interest and when concern no longer exists as to the
collectibility of principal and interest.

         On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for
Mortgage Servicing Rights," which amends SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for Certain
Mortgage Banking Activities." This statement requires that a mortgage banking
enterprise recognize as separate assets the rights to service mortgage loans for
others, however those rights are acquired. The adoption of this standard did not
have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
         Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and
Disclosures." SFAS No. 114 requires that impaired loans be measured based on the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price, or at the fair value of
the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The adoption of SFAS No. 114
did not change management's existing methodology for measuring impairment
primarily because the majority of impaired loan valuations continue to be based
on the fair value of the collateral.
         The provision for loan losses charged to expense is based upon the
Company's historical loss experience and estimates of future loan losses
inherent in the current loan portfolio, including the evaluation of impaired
loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114. A loan is considered to be impaired when,
based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will
be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the
loan. Impairment is primarily measured based on the fair value of the
collateral. Impairment losses are included in the provision for loan losses.
SFAS No. 114 does not apply to large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans
that are collectively evaluated for impairment, except for those loans
restructured under a troubled debt structuring. Smaller balance homogeneous
loans include credit card and consumer loans, which are charged-off at a
predetermined delinquency status.
         Management periodically analyzes each commercial, financial and
agricultural and real estate loan past due 90 days or more and still accruing
interest on a loan by loan basis. If management expects that the borrower will
shortly bring the loan current and/or that the fair value of the collateral
exceeds the recorded investment in the loan, the loan is not placed on
nonaccrual status. Consumer and credit card loans are not placed on nonaccrual
status because they are charged off when they reach a predetermined delinquency
status.
         The allowance for loan losses (the "Allowance") is maintained at a
level which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb future loan losses.
Estimates of future loan losses involve judgment and assumptions as to various
factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in
estimating such losses and in determining the adequacy of the Allowance.
Principal factors considered by management include the historical loss
experience, the value and adequacy of collateral, the level of nonperforming
(nonaccrual and restructured) loans, loan concentrations, the growth and
composition of the portfolio, the review of monthly delinquency reports, the
results of examinations of individual loans and/or evaluation of the overall
portfolio by senior credit personnel, internal auditors, and Federal and State
regulatory agencies, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse
situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay and general economic
conditions.
         The Allowance is reduced by loans charged off when collectibility
becomes doubtful and the underlying collateral, if any, is considered inadequate
to liquidate the outstanding debt. Recoveries on loans previously charged off
are added to the Allowance.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
         Other real estate owned, included in other assets, is comprised of 
properties acquired primarily through foreclosure proceedings. When acquired,
these properties are valued at fair value which establishes the new cost basis
of other real estate owned. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such
properties are charged against the Allowance. Subsequent to acquisition, such
properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling
costs. Write-downs or losses from the disposition of such properties subsequent
to the date of acquisition are included in other noninterest expenses.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
         Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and
amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of 10-40 years for premises, 3-13 years for equipment and the lease term
for leasehold improvements.

CORE DEPOSIT PREMIUM AND GOODWILL
         The core deposit premium is being amortized on the straight-line method
over various lives ranging from 9 to 20 years. The excess of the purchase price
over the fair value of the net assets acquired is accounted for as goodwill and
is being amortized on the straight-line method over 25 years.
         Goodwill represents the cost of acquired companies in excess of the
fair value of net assets acquired. In compliance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assets to be Disposed of," which the Company adopted on January 1, 1996, it is
the Company's policy to review goodwill for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that its investment in the underlying
assets/businesses which gave rise to such goodwill may not be recoverable.
Should such an evaluation of impairment become necessary, the Company will
evaluate the performance of such acquired business on an undiscounted basis. The
Company does not believe that there is any current impairment of goodwill.

INCOME TAXES
         The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
         Excise tax credits relating to premises and equipment are accounted for
under the flow-through method which recognizes the benefit in the year the asset
is placed in service. The investment and excise tax credits related to lease
equipment, except for investment and excise tax credits that are passed on to
lessees, are recognized during the periods in which the net investment is
positive.
         A consolidated Federal income tax return is filed for the Company.
Amounts equal to income tax benefits of those companies having taxable losses or
credits are reimbursed by other companies which would have incurred current
income tax liabilities.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS AND FLOORS
         The Company enters into interest rate swap and floor contracts in
managing its interest rate risk. Premiums for purchased floors are amortized
over the life of the contracts. Since the contracts represent an exchange of
interest payments and the underlying principal balances are not affected, there
is no effect on the total assets or liabilities of the Company. The related
income or expense from these contracts is included as part of the interest
income or expense for the corresponding asset or liability being hedged. Changes
in fair value are not reflected in the financial statements.

PER SHARE DATA
         Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the average
number of shares outstanding during the year.
         The impact of common stock equivalents, such as stock options, is not
material; therefore, they are not included in the computation.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
         SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Values of Financial Instruments,"
requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial
instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
           Cash and due from banks: The carrying amounts reported in the
     Consolidated Balance Sheets of cash and short-term instruments approximate
     fair values.
           Investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities): Fair
     values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where
     available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based
     on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
           Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no
     significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying
     values. The fair values of commercial and industrial loans, financial
     institution loans, agricultural loans, certain mortgage loans (e.g. 1-4
     family residential, commercial real estate and rental property), credit
     card loans, and other consumer loans are estimated using discounted cash
     flow analyses, which utilize interest rates currently being offered for
     loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The
     carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
           Off-balance sheet commitments and contingent liabilities: Fair values
     of off-balance sheet commitments and contingent liabilities are based upon
     quoted market prices of comparable instruments (interest rate floors); fees
     currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
     remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing
     (letters of credit and commitments to extend credit); or, pricing models
     based upon brokers' quoted markets, current levels of interest rates, and
     specific cash flow schedules (interest rate swaps).
           Deposits: The fair values of deposits with no maturity date (e.g.,
     interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of
     money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on
     demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values of
     fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash
     flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on
     certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on
     time deposits.
          Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of overnight Federal
     funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other
     short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
          Long-term debt: The fair values of the Company's long-term debt (other
     than deposits) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based

          on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types
          of borrowing arrangements.

NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS
          In 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" and SFAS No.
127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No.
125." SFAS No. 125 requires that after a transfer of financial assets, an entity
must recognize financial and servicing assets controlled and liabilities
incurred and derecognize financial assets and liabilities in which control is
surrendered or when debt is extinguished. It applies to transfers and servicing
of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December
31, 1996. SFAS No. 127 defers the effective date of certain provisions of SFAS
No. 125 until January 1, 1998. The adoption of these standards is not expected
to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. PACIFIC NORTHWEST ACQUISITIONS
         On May 31, 1996, for a purchase price of $36 million, the Company
acquired 31 branches in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, which were being divested
by U.S. Bancorp and West One Bancorp as a result of their merger. This
transaction included the purchase of loans of $400 million and the assumption of
deposits of $687 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting and the results of operations were included in the
Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of acquisition. Of the 31
branches acquired by the Company, the 26 Oregon and Idaho branches are being
operated as Pacific One Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The five
branches acquired in Washington state were originally operated as Pacific One
Bank, FSB as branches of Pioneer (see current operations described below).
         On July 31, 1996, for a purchase price of $18 million, the Company
acquired ANB Financial Corporation, a bank holding company, and its subsidiary,
American National Bank ("ANB"), which had total loans of $51 million and
deposits of $67 million at the date of acquisition. American National Bank had a
total of four branches in Washington state. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting and the results of operations of ANB
were included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of
acquisition. On November 8, 1996, American National Bank acquired the five
branches in Washington state from Pioneer and changed its name to Pacific One
Bank, N.A. Pacific One Bank, N.A. presently operates eight of the nine branches
acquired in Washington state; the remaining branch was closed.

10. COMMON STOCK
         On July 31, 1996, the Company acquired ANB Financial Corporation, a
bank holding company, and its subsidiary, American National Bank, for
$17,525,000 in the form of an exchange of shares of ANB Financial Corporation's
common stock for 647,577 newly-issued shares of the Company's common stock.

11. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
         The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain discretionary (and, in the case of the
Company's depository institution subsidiaries, mandatory) actions by regulators
that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's
financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and its depository
institution subsidiaries must each meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance
sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. These capital
amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
         Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth
in the table below, as of December 31, 1996 and 1995) of Tier 1 and Total
capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets.

=======================================================================================
</TABLE>
         As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company and its depository
institution subsidiaries were categorized as well capitalized under the
applicable federal regulations. To be categorized as well capitalized, the
Company must maintain Tier 1 risk-based, Total risk-based and Tier 1 leverage
ratios of 6%, 10% and 4%, respectively (as set forth in the table above).
Management is not aware of any conditions or events subsequent to December 31,
1996, which would have caused a change in the Company's category.

12. LIMITATIONS ON PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
         The primary source of funds for the dividends paid by the Company to
its stockholders is dividends received from its subsidiaries. The Bank, Pioneer,
Creditcorp, Pacific One and Pacific One Bank, N.A. are subject to regulatory
limitations on the amount of dividends they may declare or pay. At December 31,
1996, the aggregate amount available for payment of dividends by such
subsidiaries without prior regulatory approval was $345,604,000.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

PENSION PLANS
         The Company has a noncontributory pension plan which was "frozen" as of
December 31, 1995. This plan was replaced by a money purchase plan and
enhancements to an existing 401(k) plan. As a result of the "freeze," there will
be no future accruals and no additional participants in the noncontributory
pension plan. In addition, the Company has an unfunded supplemental executive
retirement plan for a "frozen" group of key executives.
         The net pension expense (credit) for 1996, 1995 and 1994 included the
following components:

         No further contributions should be required because the pension plan is

         Plan assets included 587,856 shares of common stock of the Company with
a fair value of $20,575,000 and $17,636,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
         For both December 31, 1996 and 1995, the weighted average discount rate
was 7.0%; the rate of increase in future compensation used in determining the
projected benefit obligation was 7.0% for the unfunded supplemental executive
retirement plan; and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was
8.5%. Due to the "freeze" of the qualified pension plan, the rate of increase in
future compensation is no longer applicable for that plan.
         The Company has unfunded postretirement medical and life insurance
plans which are available to retirees who have satisfied age and length of
service requirements. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the
status of the plans at December 31, 1996 and 1995:

         The assumed health care cost trend is not applicable since the medical
plan provides a flat dollar commitment. Thus, there is no effect due to a
one-percentage-point increase in the trend rate.
         For both December 31, 1996 and 1995, the weighted average discount rate
was 7.0% and the rate of increase in future compensation used in determining the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 5.0%.

MONEY PURCHASE AND 401(k) MATCH PLANS
         Effective January 1, 1996, the Company began contributing to a defined
contribution money purchase plan and matching employees' contributions (up to 3%
of pay) to an existing 401(k) component of the Company's profit sharing plan.
The plans replace the pension plan which was "frozen" as of December 31, 1995.
The plans cover substantially all employees who satisfy the age and length of
service requirements, except for key executives who are eligible for the
Company's unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan.
         For 1996, the money purchase contribution was $5,126,000 and the
employer matching contribution to the 401(k) plan was $2,270,000.

PROFIT SHARING AND CASH BONUS PLANS
         The profit sharing and cash bonus plans cover substantially all
employees who satisfy age and length of service requirements. Annual
contributions to the plans are based upon a formula and are limited to the total
amount deductible under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The profit sharing and cash bonus formula provides that 50% of the

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company's contribution be paid directly to eligible members as a year-end cash
bonus and the other 50%, less forfeitures, be paid into the profit sharing trust
fund. The profit sharing contribution and cash bonus (reflected in salaries and
wages) for 1996, 1995 and 1994 totalled $6,579,000, $5,545,000 and $5,127,000,
respectively.

INCENTIVE PLAN FOR KEY EXECUTIVES
         The Company has an Incentive Plan for Key Executives (the "IPKE"),
under which awards of cash or common stock of the Company, or both, are made to
key executives. The IPKE limits the aggregate and individual value of the awards
that could be issued in any one fiscal year. Shares awarded under the IPKE are
held in escrow and key executives concerned may not, under any circumstances,
voluntarily dispose or transfer such shares prior to the earliest of attaining
60 years of age, completion of 20 full years of employment with the Company,
retirement, death or termination of employment prior to retirement with the
approval of the Company. Additionally, there is a five year restriction from the
date of all subsequent shares awarded to those key executives who had previously
met the minimum restrictions of completion of 20 full years of employment or
attaining 60 years of age.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
         In 1992, the stockholders approved a Stock Incentive Plan (the "SIP"),
which authorized the granting of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock to key
employees. The purpose of the SIP is to promote the success and enhance the
value of the Company by providing additional incentives to selected key
employees in a way that links their interests with those of stockholders and
provides those employees with an incentive for outstanding performances. The SIP
is administered by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors.
         The SIP provides for grants of restricted stock, incentive stock
options, non-qualified stock options and reload options. Options are granted at
exercise prices not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant. Options vest 25% per year after the date of grant. Stock options
have exercise periods no longer than ten years from the date of grant and may
not be exercised for six months after the date of grant and/or vesting. Stock
options can be exercised, in whole or in part, by payment of the option price in
cash or, if allowed under the option agreement, shares of common stock already
owned by the optionee (reload options). Upon the occurrence of a change in
control of the Company, as defined in the SIP, all options granted and held at
least six months become immediately vested and exercisable.
         The following table summarizes activity under the SIP for 1996, 1995
and 1994 and the status at December 31, 1996:

========================================================
</TABLE>
         At December 31, 1996, 379,725 stock options (net of exercised options
of 4,342)were available for future grants under the SIP.
         As of December 31, 1996, the 615,933 SIP options outstanding under the
plan have exercise prices between $25.50 and $30.25 and a weighted average
remaining contractual life of 7.5 years.
         The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its SIP. There has been no compensation cost charged against
income for the SIP, as options are granted at exercise prices that are not less
than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Had
compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plan been
determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," the effect on the Company's net income and earnings per share
would have been immaterial.
         Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions used for the grants in 1996 and 1995,
respectively: expected dividend yield was 3.8% and 4.6%; expected volatility was
22.69% and 23.50%; risk-free interest rate was 5.65% and 7.20%; and expected
life of the options granted was six years.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted in 1996
and 1995 were $5.93 and $5.61, respectively.
         During the initial phase-in period in 1996, the effects of applying
SFAS No. 123 are not likely to be representative of the effects on reported net
income for future years, because options vest over several years and additional
awards generally are made each year.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
         The Company has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") designed to
reward key executives for the Company's and individuals' performances measured
over three-year cycles; that is, 1993-1995, 1994-1996, 1995-1997 and so on. The
first three-year performance cycle (1991-1993) ended on December 31, 1993. The
threshold level specified in the LTIP was achieved during this cycle. In 1994,
payouts totalling $1,195,000 were made to various key executives for the
1991-1993 cycle. The threshold levels specified in the LTIP were not achieved
for the 1992-1994, 1993-1995 and 1994-1996 cycles.

POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
         Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," which requires that the
estimated cost of benefits provided by an employer to former or inactive
employees after employment, but before retirement, be accounted for on an
accrual basis. The adoption of SFAS 112 did not have a material effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.

14. OTHER NONINTEREST EXPENSES
         For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, other noninterest
expenses included the following:

======================================================
</TABLE>
         The provision for income taxes has been reduced by general tax credits
of $4,188,000, $2,140,000 and $1,769,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company also has foreign tax credit carryforwards amounting to $6,283,000 at
December 31, 1996, which may be used to offset future Federal income tax
expense. The foreign tax credit carryovers of $1,141,000, $1,526,000,
$1,597,000, $1,019,000 and $1,000,000 will expire at the end of 1997, 1998,
1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Management expects to generate sufficient
foreign source income in 1997 to utilize the foreign tax credit carryovers.
         The components of net deferred income tax liabilities at December 31,
1996 and 1995 were as follows:

         The 1996 effective income tax rate has been reduced by the net tax
benefit resulting from the: (1) recognition of previously unrecognized tax
credits of $2,800,000; (2) reversal of deferred tax liabilities (reflecting a
change in the State tax laws) relating to the sale of a certain leveraged lease
of $2,344,000; and (3) reversal of deferred tax liabilities (reflecting
legislation enacted in 1996) relating to the provision for thrift bad debt
deductions of $1,500,000.

16.INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
         The Company's international operations, principally Guam and Grand
Cayman, British West Indies, involve foreign banking and international financing
activities, including short-term investments, loans, acceptances, letters of
credit financing and international funds transfers.
         International activities are identified on the basis of the domicile of
the Company's customer.
         Total revenue, income before income taxes, net income and total assets

direct expenses and a proportionate share of general and administrative expenses
to the income derived from loans and transactions by the Company's international
operations.
         The following presents the percentages of average total assets and
total liabilities attributable to foreign operations. For this purpose, assets
attributable to foreign operations are defined as assets in foreign offices and

         These premises and equipment leases extend for varying periods up to 45
years and some of them may be renewed for periods ranging from 1 to 45 years.
The premises' leases also provide for payments of real property taxes, insurance
and maintenance.
         In most cases, leases for the premises provide for periodic
renegotiation of the rents based upon a percentage of the appraised value of the
leased property. The renegotiated annual rent is usually not less than the
annual amount paid in the previous period. Where future commitments are subject
to appraisals, the minimum annual rental commitments are based on the latest
annual rents.
         In December 1993, the Company entered into a noncancelable agreement to
lease its administrative headquarters building (construction of which was
completed in September 1996) on land owned in fee simple by the Company.
Concurrently, the Company entered into a ground lease of the land to the lessor
of the build-

ing. Rent obligation for the building commenced on December 1, 1996 and will
expire on December 1, 2003 (the "Primary Term"). The Company is obligated to pay
all taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating costs associated with the
building during the Primary Term. The Company plans to occupy approximately 40%
of the building and sublease the remaining 60% to third parties. As of December
31, 1996, the Company has executed certain noncancelable subleases with third
parties. These amounts are included in sublease income in the above table.
         At the end of the Primary Term, the Company may, at its option: (1)
extend the lease term at rents based on the lessor's cost of funds at the time
of renewal; (2) purchase the building for an amount approximately equal to that
expended by the lessor to construct the building; or (3) arrange for the sale of
the building to a third party on behalf of the lessor and pay to lessor any
shortfall between the sales proceeds and a specified residual value, such
payment not to exceed $161,990,000. This lease is accounted for as an operating
lease.
         For 1996, 1995 and 1994, rental expense was $14,796,000, $14,525,000
and $13,699,000, respectively.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
         In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to various
financial instruments to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce
its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments
include commitments to extend credit, standby and commercial letters of credit
and interest rate swaps and floors. These instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts
recognized in the Consolidated and Parent Company Balance Sheets. The contract
or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the
Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
         The Company's exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance
by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit
and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual
notional amount of those instruments. Since these commitments may expire without
being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent
future cash flows. For interest rate swap and floor transactions, the contract
or notional amounts do not represent exposure to credit losses.
         Off-balance sheet instruments must meet the same criteria of acceptable
risk established for the Company's lending and other financing activities. The
Company manages the credit risk of counterparty defaults in these transactions
by limiting the total amount of outstanding arrangements, both by the individual
counterparty and in the aggregate, by monitoring the size and maturity structure
of the off-balance sheet portfolio, and by applying the uniform credit standards
maintained for all of its credit activities.
         Off-balance sheet commitments and contingent liabilities at December
31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

</TABLE>
         The Company enters into interest rate swap and floor agreements as an
end-user only. These instruments are used as hedges against various balance
sheet accounts. Credit exposure is monitored under the same credit guidelines as
are followed for other extensions of credit. Interest rate and/or market risk is
monitored and managed in conjunction with the total interest rate risk position
of the Company as a whole. Off-balance sheet agreements are not entered into if
they would increase the Company's interest rate risk above approved guidelines.
Sensitivity testing to measure and monitor this risk is done quarterly using net
interest income simulations and market value of equity analysis.

on the Company's consolidated financial position.
