REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Profit Sharing Committee
of First Hawaiian, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Profit Sharing 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 9 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 audits 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.

FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
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 funds are valued at the unit share value
as reported by the funds.

FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PROFIT SHARING PLAN STRUCTURE -
Prior to May 1, 1997, participants in the Plan could direct the investment
of contributions, in such proportions as they desired, 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. Participants in
the Company's frozen Thrift Plan maintained balances in the First Hawaiian
Bank Thrift Account Pooled Fixed Income 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 investing their contributions in 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.
The Company also has a 401(k) YesPay Savings Plan in which eligible
employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation by contributing
to a YesPay Savings Account. Contributions and transactions related to the
YesPay Savings Account are accounted for separately in the funds described
above.
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.

2. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The Plan is a defined contribution plan established to cover the employees of
substantially all subsidiaries of the Company. The following description of the
Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan
document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
The significant provisions and benefits under the Plan are as follows:
PARTICIPATION: Employees who receive from the
Company or certain subsidiaries a
regular stated compensation other
than a pension, severance pay,
retainer or fee under contract are
eligible under the Plan. Eligible
employees become members on the
first day of the month coinciding
with or next following the
completion of one year of service in
which the employee worked 1,000
hours.
VESTING OF BENEFITS: 20% for each year of service with
full vesting after five years of
service. Full vesting is provided in
case of a member's death, retirement
or disability regardless of years of
service.
Employees are fully vested in
Employer Matching Contribution after
one year of service in their YesPay
Savings Account balance.
CONTRIBUTIONS - COMPANY: The Company's contribution to the
profit sharing account is based on a
formula that is related to the
percentage increase in the Company's
consolidated net earnings, as
adjusted for business entities that
have been acquired by the Company
during any Plan year, over the
previous year. At a minimum,
however, the Company will contribute
5% of each member's compensation.
The Company pays out one-half (1/2)
of the amount computed as a cash
bonus under the Company's Bonus Plan
for Employees. The other half is
contributed into the Profit Sharing
Plan.

<PAGE> 9
FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Each member may elect to defer from
1% to 10% of his pre-tax
compensation. The amount by which
compensation is reduced is treated
as a Company contribution to the
YesPay Savings Account. The Company
matches 150% for the first 1% of
contributions, 100% for the second
1% of contributions and 50% for the
third 1% of contributions. Matching
contributions are made by the
Company on a pay-period basis.
LOANS FROM MEMBER ACCOUNTS: Any member may borrow part of the
net value of his Deferred Profit
Sharing and YesPay Savings Accounts
for the purposes of assisting the
member in meeting any unusual or
unforeseen conditions in his
financial affairs.
ALLOCATION OF COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS: Company contributions to the Profit
Sharing Plan Account are allocated
to members based upon the
relationship of the member's
compensation for the plan year
divided by the total compensation of
all members entitled to an allocable
share of the Profit Sharing
contributions.
TREATMENT OF FORFEITURES: Forfeitures are applied to reduce
future contributions and
administrative expenses of the
Company. Forfeitures applied to
reduce contributions and
administrative expenses of the
Company amounted to $155,230 and
$231,232 in 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BENEFIT PAYMENTS: After the applicable benefit
condition is met, employees may
elect to receive their benefits in a
lump-sum distribution or in monthly
or other periodic equal installments
as nearly equal in amount as may be
practicable over a period not to
exceed life expectancy.
In addition, upon written
application and approval, a member
may obtain a hardship withdrawal not
to exceed his vested interest for
medical expenses, education and
attendant expenses of a child, and
acquisition or improvement of a
member's home.
PLAN TERMINATION: In the event the Plan terminates,
all amounts credited to affected
members' accounts shall become
nonforfeitable and after payment of
all related expenses and adjustment
of affected members' accounts to
reflect such expenses, profits and
losses and forfeitures to date of
termination, each member or the
beneficiary of any member shall be
entitled to receive his entire
interest in the Plan.
GENDER: The masculine pronoun, whenever used
herein, includes the feminine
pronoun.
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.

<PAGE> 11
FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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.

FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC. PROFIT SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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:
Conservative Portfolio
The objective of this fund is to provide long-term preservation of capital
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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.

amended to include ANB as a participating employer in the Plan. In January 1997,

6. TAX STATUS
The Plan constitutes a qualified trust under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code and is therefore exempt from Federal income taxes under the
provisions of Section 501(a).
The Plan was amended, effective January 1, 1997, to incorporate the Small
Business Protection Act of 1996. The Plan's management received an updated tax
determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service in 1997.
7. PRIOR-YEAR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits includes
certain prior-year summarized comparative information in total but not by fund.
Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such
information should be read in conjunction with the Plan's financial statements
as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996, from which the summarized
information was derived.
8. EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
Employer contributions consist of Company profit sharing contributions, 401(k)
matching contributions and 401(k) contributions made on behalf of the
