                    Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors
Bank of Hawaii and
The Benefit Plans Committee
Pacific Century Financial Corporation Profit Sharing Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for benefits of the Pacific Century Financial Corporation Profit
Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Benefit Plans Committee. 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 the Benefit Plans Committee, 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
benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes
in its net assets available for 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 accompanying
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of
December 31, 1998 and reportable transactions for the year then
ended, are presented for purposes of complying with the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
our audit of the 1998 financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 1998
financial statements taken as a whole.

                 Notes to Financial Statements

                       December 31, 1998



1. Description of the Plan and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies

Description of the Plan

The following description of the Pacific Century Financial
Corporation Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) provides only general
information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan
Description for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan for employees of Bank of
Hawaii and certain subsidiaries of Pacific Century Financial
Corporation and Bank of Hawaii, collectively (the Bank), who have
fulfilled the Plan's participation requirements. The Plan is
subject to the reporting and disclosure, fiduciary, vesting, and
administration and enforcement provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

On behalf of the Bank as Plan Administrator, the Plan is
administered by the Benefit Plans Committee. All assets of the Plan
are held in trust by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, as trustee,
and all benefits are provided by such trust fund.

The participating employers make a profit sharing contribution on
behalf of participants for each calendar year in an amount which is
based upon Pacific Century Financial Corporation's profits for the
year. The contribution varies depending on Pacific Century
Financial Corporation's adjusted net income and adjusted return on
equity. The amount of profit sharing contribution for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $4,693,504 and $5,291,225,
respectively.

Participants are allowed to contribute up to 7% of their eligible
compensation to the Plan. However, annual additions attributed to
participants' accounts are limited to certain maximum annual
amounts, including those provided under the Internal Revenue Code
($30,000 for 1998 and 1997).

The participating employers contribute matching contributions on
behalf of participants each calendar quarter equal to $1.25 for
each $1.00 contributed by participants up to 2% of the
participant's eligible compensation. Matching contributions are
made to the Plan by the end of the following calendar quarter.

Participants are permitted to select among the following investment
options in which contributions are to be invested: Pacific Capital
Growth Stock Fund, Pacific Capital Growth & Income Fund, Pacific
Capital New Asia Growth Fund, Pacific Capital Short-Intermediate
U.S. Treasury Securities Unit Fund, Pacific Capital Diversified
Fixed Income Unit Fund, Vanguard Wellington Fund, Vanguard Windsor
Fund, 500 Portfolio of the Vanguard Index Trust, Short-Term Federal
Portfolio of the Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund, Vanguard
Retirement Savings Trust, and the Pacific Century Financial
Corporation Stock Fund.

Effective April 1, 1998, the portion of the Plan consisting of the
Pacific Century Financial Corporation Stock Fund converted to an
employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). As an ESOP any cash dividends
on Pacific Century Financial Corporation stock is passed through to
the participants unless the participant elects against receiving
the dividend. The cash dividend on shares of Pacific Century
Financial Corporation stock paid as a dividend pass through is not
treated as a distribution from the Plan, rather, it is accounted
for as if the participant receiving the dividend was the direct
owner of the shares of Pacific Century Financial Corporation stock.
For participants electing not to receive the dividend pass through,
the dividend is allocated to the participants' account as income
and is invested in additional shares.

Participants are fully vested in the Plan's assets allocated to
their account.

Withdrawals are permitted for participants demonstrating immediate
and heavy financial need. Participants may borrow a minimum of
$1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the
present value of their account balance. Loan transactions are
treated as a transfer from (to) the investment fund to (from) the
loan fund. Loan terms do not exceed 5 years unless the loan is used
for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by
the balance in the participant's account or other security deemed
to be sufficient by the Benefit Plans Committee and are made at a
reasonable rate of interest. Principal and interest is paid ratably
through monthly payroll deductions. No withdrawals or loans are
permitted from the Pacific Century Financial Corporation Stock
Fund.

For termination of employment due to retirement (normal and early),
disability, and death, a participant is entitled to receive an
allocation of matching contribution and profit sharing contribution
for the calendar quarter or calendar year, respectively, in which
the participant terminates employment. Under these conditions, the
participant's account is distributed as soon as practicable after
the year-end allocations are made. However, the participant may
make an election to waive this allocation and receive an immediate
distribution. For termination of employment before retirement
(normal or early), disability or death, the participant's account
is distributed as soon as practicable. For all accounts under the
Plan that exceed $5,000, a distribution can only be made if the
participant consents in writing to such a distribution. Generally,
all distributions from the Plan upon a participant's termination
are made in a lump sum. In case of death, beneficiaries may elect
to receive distributions as a lump sum or as an annuity contract.
Participants may elect to defer distributions.

In the event that the Board of Directors terminates the Plan, each
participant's interest in the Plan will remain fully vested and
non-forfeitable. The Board of Directors may require all
participants and beneficiaries to withdraw such amounts in cash, in
kind, in any other form, or any combination thereof, as it may
determine in its sole discretion.

Basis of Accounting

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual
basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may
differ from those estimates.

Expenses

Fees paid to the Plan's trustee and other administrative expenses
incurred in connection with the operation of the Plan are paid by
the participating employers. Brokerage commissions and other
expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of
investments are paid by the Plan.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Investments are stated at fair value. Shares of Pacific Century
Financial Corporation stock are valued at quoted market prices.
Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices which
represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year
end. Units of the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust are valued at
net asset value at year end. Participant loans are valued at their
outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date
basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and
dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The net realized gain and loss on investments that were sold during
the year and the unrealized gain and loss on investments held at
year end are reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits as net appreciation (depreciation) in fair
value of investments. The realized gain and loss on investments
sold is computed using the average cost method.

Contributions

Contributions from employer and participants are accrued through
December 31 in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available
for Benefits.

Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

2. Investments

The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust is a collective trust
investing in investment contracts with selected insurance companies
and commercial banks. The contract value of investment contracts
generally approximates fair value and represents initial deposits,
plus contributions and interest, less benefit payments. The
Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust allows for benefit responsive
withdrawals by the Plan at contract value, subject to certain
market value adjustments. The fair value of the investment
contracts held by the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $23,860,000 and $22,757,000,
respectively. The average yield of the Vanguard Retirement Savings
Trust during 1998 and 1997 was approximately 6.0% and 6.1%,
respectively.

Individual investments representing 5% or more of the Plan's net
assets at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code), and the underlying trust is, therefore, exempt
from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code. The

its tax qualification. The Benefit Plans Committee is not aware of
any course of action or series of events that have occurred that

6. Year 2000 (Unaudited)

A significant issue facing companies nationwide is the transition
to the new millennium. Year 2000 concerns arise primarily from past
date-coding practices in both software and hardware that used two
digits rather than four digits to represent years. If not
corrected, systems that use the two-digit format will be unable to
correctly distinguish dates after December 31, 1999. This problem
could cause these systems to fail or produce inaccurate
information.

The Plan's computer applications and systems are included in
Pacific Century Financial Corporation's consolidated Project 2000
plan, a corporate-wide initiative to manage, coordinate and track
Year 2000 compliance activities for Pacific Century Financial
Corporation and all subsidiaries. All costs applicable to this
project are paid for the Plan by Bank of Hawaii. Pacific Century
Financial Corporation has disclosed that it is addressing all
significant matters related to Year 2000 and expects all "critical"
systems, including appropriate contingency plans, to be ready and
meet federal regulations by the required due dates.
