                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Future Plan Committee
  of First Hawaiian, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Future Plan (the "Plan") of First Hawaiian, Inc. (the "Company")
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997, and reportable transactions for
the year then ended are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The fund information in Note 7 is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES IN 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
    the disclosure 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.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES -

    The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of
    stocks, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other investment
    securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as
    interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated
    with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
    changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term
    and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances
    and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for plan
    benefits.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS AT FAIR VALUE -

    Investments in securities (i.e., common stocks and mutual funds) traded on
    national securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price on
    the last business day of the year. Investments in such securities traded in
    the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was
    reported on that date are valued at the mean between the last reported bid
    and asked prices.

    Investments in the First Hawaiian Bank Investment Funds for Employee Benefit
    Trusts are valued at the unit share value as determined by the funds. The
    investment funds value their investments in securities using the methods
    described above. The unit share value is determined by dividing net assets
    of the fund by the number of unit shares.

    Notes and mortgages are valued at the lower of the unpaid principal balance
    or estimated realizable value.

    The guaranteed investment contract fund is valued at the unit share value as
    reported by the fund.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


FUTURE PLAN STRUCTURE -

    Prior to May 1, 1997, participants in the Plan could direct the Trustee to
    invest their portion of the annual Company contribution or reallocate their
    entire Future Plan Account to any of the following trust fund investments:
    First Hawaiian Bank Equity Fund, First Hawaiian Bank Fixed Income Fund,
    Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund, and First Hawaiian Bank Investment
    Monitor Account ("IMA") Fund.

    On May 1, 1997, the Company appointed Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company
    ("Putnam") as recordkeeper and Trustee of the Plan. Participants in the Plan
    have the option of directing the Trustee to invest their portion of the
    annual Company contribution or reallocate their entire Future Plan Account
    to any one of the following funds: Putnam Voyager Fund, Putnam Income Fund,
    Stable Value Fund, Putnam Vista Fund, First Hawaiian, Inc. Stock Fund,
    Putnam International Growth Fund, Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund, Putnam Asset
    Allocation - Conservative Portfolio, Putnam Asset Allocation - Balanced
    Portfolio, Putnam Asset Allocation - Growth Portfolio, and Putnam New
    Opportunities Fund.

OTHER -

    Security transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. The cost of
    investments sold is determined by the specific identification method.

    Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from other
    investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

    In accordance with the policy of stating investments at fair value, net
    unrealized appreciation or depreciation and net realized gains or losses for
    the year are netted and reflected in the statement of changes in net assets
    available for plan benefits.

                                 coinciding with or following the completion of
                                 one year of service in which the employee
                                 worked 1,000 hours and attained age 21 or the

                                 retirement or disability regardless of years of
                                 service.

   CONTRIBUTIONS - COMPANY:      4.5% of member's pay up to the social  security
                                 taxable wage base (approximately $65,400 in
                                 1997) plus 9% of member's pay over the social
                                 security taxable wage base.

                                 Additional contributions shall be made between

                                 amount equal to the percentage of a member's
                                 compensation for such plan year as follows:

3.  INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

The funds listed below were the investment options available to Plan
participants as of December 31, 1997. Any of these funds may be held in cash
pending investment or distribution.

(a)     Putnam Voyager Fund

The objective of this fund is to provide maximum growth through a two-part
strategy. Holdings are generally split between two types of common stocks:
foundation stocks and opportunity stocks. Foundation stocks represent small to
medium-sized companies with the potential for above-average sales and earnings
growth. Opportunity stocks represent larger, well-established companies that
show near-term growth potential generally resulting from some change in the
company's business plan or competitive environment.

(b)     Putnam Income Fund

The objective of this fund is to provide high current income. This fund
primarily invests in debt securities, including both government and corporate
obligations, preferred stocks and dividend-paying common stocks. A portion of
the portfolio may also include lower-rated bonds that may offer a higher yield
in compensation for increased risk.

(c)     Stable Value Fund

The objective of this fund is to provide stability of principal while earning a
competitive rate of return. This fund invests in guaranteed investment contracts
("GICs") or similar contracts issued by insurance companies, banks and other
financial institutions. Investments are made only in companies that receive high
credit ratings from the major rating agencies.

This fund is a combination of shares of Putnam Stable Value Fund, shares of the
U.S. Trust Capital Preservation Fund, a Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
investment contract, and money market instruments. Participant contributions
made on or after May 1, 1997 were directed to Putnam Stable Value Fund. All
investments should be in Putnam Stable Value Fund by January 1, 1999.

(d)     Putnam Vista Fund

The objective of this fund is to create long-term capital appreciation through
investing primarily in mid-cap growth stocks. This fund invests primarily in
common stocks of medium-sized companies with equity market capitalizations from
$300 million to $5 billion.

(e)     First Hawaiian, Inc. Stock Fund

This fund consists of that portion of the assets of the Plan that participants
have elected to have invested, to the extent possible, in shares of common stock
of First Hawaiian, Inc. The portion of this fund not invested in shares will be
held in cash or cash equivalent investments pending the purchase of shares.

(f)     Putnam International Growth Fund

The objective of this fund is to create long-term capital appreciation by
investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of companies located
in a country other than the United States. The fund's investments will normally
include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common or
preferred stocks, and warrants to purchase common or preferred stocks.

(g)     Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund

The objective of this fund is to closely approximate the return of the Standard
& Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The fund primarily invests in publicly
traded common stocks either directly or through collective investment trusts
having a similar investment objective.

(h)     Putnam Asset Allocation Funds

The Putnam Asset Allocation Funds provide different investment objectives based
on asset allocation. Common stocks are normally the main type of the fund's
equity investments. However, the fund may also purchase preferred stocks,
convertible securities, warrants and other equity-type securities. The fund
invests its assets allocated to the fixed income securities in a diversified
portfolio including both U.S. and foreign government obligations and corporate
obligations. The following three investment portfolios are provided:

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


    Conservative Portfolio

    by investing 35% of the Plan assets in equity securities and 65% of the Plan
    assets in fixed income securities.

    Balanced Portfolio

    The objective of this fund is to maximize total return by investing 65% of
    the Plan assets in equity securities and 35% of the Plan assets in fixed
    income securities.

    Growth Portfolio

    The objective of this fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation by
    investing 80% of the Plan assets in equity securities and 20% of the Plan
    assets in fixed income securities.

(i)     Putnam New Opportunities Fund

The objective of this fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation by
investing principally in common stocks of companies that possess above-average
long-term growth potential. Current dividend income is only an incidental
consideration. At present, Putnam has identified the following sectors of the
economy as having an above-average growth potential over the next three to five
years: personal communications, media/entertainment, medical technology/cost-
containment, environmental services, applied/advanced technology, personal
financial services, and value-oriented consuming.

Revenue Code and is therefore exempt from Federal income taxes under the
provisions of Section 501(a).

Business Protection Act of 1996. The Plan's management received an updated tax
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service in 1997.
