                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Qualified Account Balance Plans Committee
  of BancWest Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
BancWest Corporation (the "Company") Future Plan (the "Plan") at December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for each of the years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

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, 1998, 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 the purpose 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.

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
    mutual funds. 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.

    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, BancWest Corporation 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.

    VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

    Investments in securities traded on national securities exchanges are valued
    at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year.

    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

    On November 1, 1998, the merger of the former BancWest Corporation, parent
    company of Bank of the West, with and into First Hawaiian, Inc. was
    consummated. First Hawaiian, Inc., the surviving corporation of the merger,
    changed its name to BancWest Corporation. Concurrently, the First Hawaiian,
    Inc. Future Plan was amended to change the name to the BancWest Corporation
    Future Plan.

    The Plan is a defined contribution plan established to cover the employees
    of substantially all subsidiaries of the Company, except for Bank of the
    West - CA employees. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Plan commenced operations effective January 1, 1996. The principal
    provisions under the Plan are as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                            <C>
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 following the completion of one year of service in
                               which the employee worked 1,000 hours and attained
                               age 21 or the date the employee becomes eligible.

VESTING OF BENEFITS:           100% after five years of service. Full vesting is
                               provided in case of a member's death, retirement or
                               disability regardless of years of service. If the lump-sum
                               present value of accrued benefits is $5,000 or less, a
                               lump-sum payment of these benefits is paid.

CONTRIBUTIONS - COMPANY:       4.5% of member's pay up to the social security taxable
                               wage base (approximately $68,400 in 1998) plus 9%
                               of member's pay over the social security taxable wage
                               base.

                               Additional contributions shall be made between
                               1996 - 2002 for certain eligible employees in an
                               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, 1998 and 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

    (e) BANCWEST CORPORATION 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 BancWest Corporation. 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:

            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.

    (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.

</TABLE>

     Dividend income earned from investments in BancWest Corporation common
     stock amounted to $17,268 and $7,429 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

5.   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.
     Although amended since 1997, management believes that the Plan is currently
     designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable
     requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
