Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
   In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements 
   included in this report contain all adjustments necessary for a fair 
   presentation of the results of operations and cash flows for the interim 
   periods covered and the financial condition of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. 
   ("Hawaiian Airlines" or the "Company") as of September 30, 1997 and 
   December 31, 1996. The operating results for the interim period are not 
   necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal 
   year.
 
   The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with 
   the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in Hawaiian 
   Airlines' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, 
   which are incorporated herein by reference.
 
   Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior year's data 
   to the current year's presentation.
 
2. AIRCRAFT FUEL HEDGE CONTRACTS
 
   The Company utilizes various types of derivative and commodity contracts 
   to manage its aircraft fuel costs. These contracts qualify for hedge 
   accounting treatment as they reduce risk, identify firm commitments for 
   set time periods and meet correlation criteria for effectiveness. The 
   Company accounts for its various types of derivative and commodity 
   contracts on a deferral basis. Initial and subsequent margin deposit 
   requirements are reflected in prepaid expenses. Realized and unrealized 
   gains and losses and fees and commissions are deferred and included in the 
   measurement of the subsequent transaction.
 
3. INCOME TAXES
 
   The Company's reorganization and the associated implementation of fresh 
   start reporting in September 1994 gave rise to significant items of 
   expense for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for 
   income tax purposes. In large measure, it is these nondeductible expenses 
   that result in an effective tax rate (for financial reporting purposes) 
   significantly greater than the current United States corporate statutory 
   rate of 35.0%. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 
   1997, estimated interperiod tax provisions of $3.5 million and $1.4 
   million, respectively, have been reflected in the accompanying condensed 
   statements of operations. As the Company presently expects that its full 
   year 1997 results will require a provision for income taxes, the estimated 
   tax provisions recorded for the three and nine month periods 
   ended September 30, 1997, respectively, reflect management's estimate of 
   the annual effective tax rate.
 
4. WARRANTS
 
   In January 1996, AMR Corporation ("AMR"), the parent company of American 
   Airlines, Inc. ("American"), participated in certain recapitalization 
   efforts of the Company. As a part of its participation, AMR received, 
   among other things, warrants which, subject to certain conditions, 
   entitled AMR to purchase up to 1,897,946 shares of the Company's Common 
   Stock (adjusted to 1,949,338 shares pursuant to applicable anti-dilution 
   provisions). One-half of the warrants were to become exercisable only if 
   American and the Company entered into a code sharing arrangement which 
   would allow American to place its two letter flight designator code ("AA") 
   on selected Interisland flights of the Company. On July, 15, 1997, the 
   Company consummated the code share marketing agreement with American. The 
   code share agreement will be implemented in first quarter 1998. As a 
   result, all of the warrants will become exercisable upon implementation of 
   the code share marketing agreement,

                                       6


<PAGE>

   and AMR may purchase an additional 974,669 of the Company's Common Stock 
   Shares at $1.07 per share. If not exercised, the warrants expire on 
   September 11, 2001. The estimated fair value of the warrants approximated 
   $2.3 million and has been reflected in the Company's condensed balance 
   sheet as of September 30, 1997 as warrants and other assets. The amount 
   included in other assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 
   five years upon effective implementation of the code share agreement in 
   first quarter 1998.
 
5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") 
   issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, 
   "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 is effective for both interim and 
   annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 requires the 
   presentation of "Basic" earnings per share, representing income available 
   to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of Common 
   Stock shares outstanding for the period, and "Diluted" earnings per share, 
   which is similar to the current presentation of fully diluted earnings per 
   share. SFAS No. 128 requires restatement of all prior period earnings per 
   share data presented. Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 128 
   to have a material impact on the Company's previously reported earnings 
   per share.
 
   In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information 
   about Capital Structure," which lists required disclosures about capital 
   structure that had been included in a number of previously existing 
   statements and opinions. SFAS No. 129 is effective for periods ending 
   after December 15, 1997.
 
   In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive 
   Income," which establishes standards for the reporting and display of 
   comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose 
   financial statements. SFAS requires reclassification of financial 
   statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes. SFAS No. 
   130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
 
   In June 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about 
   Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes 
   standards for the way that public business enterprises report information 
   about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that 
   those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in 
   interim financial reports issued to shareholders. SFAS No. 131 requires 
   restatement of comparative information presented for earlier periods. SFAS 
   No. 131 is effective for periods beginning after December 31, 1997.
 
   Management does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 129, 130 or 131 to have a 
   material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of 
   operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    Certain statements contained in this report that are not related to 
historical results, including, without limitation, statements regarding the 
Company's business strategy and objectives, future financial position and 
estimated cost savings, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of 
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange 
Act and involve risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that 
the assumptions on which any forward-looking statements are based are 
reasonable, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be 
accurate and actual results could differ materially from those discussed in 
the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such 
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Part I, 
Item I, Business of the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended 
December 31, 1996 and heretofore, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this 
Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are 
qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
 
                           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    During third quarter 1997, the Company generated operating income of 
$5.3 million versus $4.6 million in third quarter 1996. Net income for third 
quarter 1997 and 1996 was $1.4 million. For the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997, the Company generated operating and net income of 
$2.7 million and $245,000, respectively. This compares to $8.1 million and 
$2.3 million of operating and net income for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996.

    Significant quarter to quarter variances were as follows:
 
    Third quarter 1997 passenger revenues totaled $88.8 million, an increase 
of $2.5 million or 2.8% over 1996 third quarter passenger revenues of $86.3 
million. The majority of the increase was due to, quarter over quarter, 
approximately $2.9 million more in third quarter 1997 Transpac passenger 
revenues. More aggressive pricing actions by the Company to stimulate travel 
demand and be competitive were used to stimulate Transpac markets. These pricing
strategies, combined with cooperative advertising and promotions, were targeted 
at Transpac markets in which the Company had increased its level of service and 
those in which the Company maintained code share alliances.

    Overseas charter revenues totaled $8.1 million for the three month period 
ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $802,000 or 11.1% over the same period 
in 1996. The increase was principally due to the Company operating effective 
February 1997 to April 1997 and from May 1997, on average, two and one charter 
rotations per week, respectively, to Anchorage, Alaska. The Anchorage charters 
were not operated in 1996.

    All fluctuations in operating expenses were affected by an overall 
increase in ASM of approximately 3.9% for the three month period ended 
September 30, 1997. Significant quarter to quarter variances were as follows:
 
    Wages and benefits per ASM increased by 0.06 cents or 2.9% quarter over 
quarter. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company incurred 
approximately $1.9 million or 7.2% in additional wages and benefits due to 
additional employees associated with increased flying over its long-haul 
routes.
 
    Aircraft fuel cost, including taxes and oil ("Aircraft Fuel") per ASM 
decreased in third quarter 1997 versus third quarter 1996 by 0.15 cents or 
10.1%. As in previous 1997 quarters, the average cost of Aircraft Fuel 
continued to stabilize and decline. For the three months ended September 30, 
1997, average cost of Aircraft Fuel per gallon approximated 62.0 cents 
compared to 70.1 cents for the same period in 1996. Decreased average per 
gallon costs were offset by the Company utilizing approximately 4.9 million 
more gallons of fuel in third quarter 1997 due to its increased long-haul 
flying. On net, the Company incurred approximately $1.2 million or 6.4% less 
in Aircraft Fuel quarter over quarter.

    Maintenance materials and repairs per ASM increased by 0.07 cents or 
5.0%. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company experienced 
$1.7 million or 9.3% more in maintenance materials and repair costs than for 
the three months ended September 30, 1996. A majority of this increase for 
the three months ended September 30, 1997 was attributable to (1) 
approximately $1.3 million more in DC-10 maintenance expense as the Company 
utilized ten DC-10 aircraft during 1997 versus nine in 1996 and (2) $700,000 
in additional DC-9 maintenance, primarily for airframe repairs and overhauls.
 
    Rentals and landing fees per ASM decreased by 0.08 cents or 11.8%. The 
Company experienced $757,000 or 8.5% less in rentals and landing fees quarter 
over quarter, primarily due to $422,000 in decreased landing fees. As 
discussed below, commencing September 1, 1997, a two-year moratorium was 
placed on landing fees at the Honolulu International Airport.

</TABLE>
 
    Significant period to period variances were as follows:
 
    Passenger revenues totaled $254.3 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997, an increase of $6.8 million or 2.7% over the same period
in 1996. The increase was primarily due to $8.5 million more in Transpac 
passenger revenues being offset by a decrease in Interisland passenger revenues 
of $1.5 million.
 
    As previously discussed, the Company initiated various sales and marketing
strategies which resulted in increased Transpac passenger revenues for the 
nine month period ended September 30, 1997. Interisland passenger revenues 
were primarily impacted by softness in the visitor market throughout the State 
of Hawaii in the first six months of 1997. Information from the Hawaii Visitors 
and Convention Bureau showed a decline of 0.6% in the 


                                      11

<PAGE>

total number of visitors to Hawaii for the first six months of 1997, as compared
to the same periods in 1996. The total number of visitors to Hawaii in third 
quarter 1997 remained relatively flat.
 
    Overseas charter revenues totaled $28.7 million for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997. This represents a $7.5 million increase above overseas
charter revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. The 
increase is primarily attributable to increased charter activity in the first 
half of 1997 versus the first half of 1996. During the first six months of 1997,
the Company operated eight charters per week to Las Vegas, Nevada and effective 
February 1997 to April 1997 and from May 1997, on average, two and one charter 
rotations per week, respectively, to Anchorage, Alaska. During the first six 
months of 1996 the Company operated six charter rotations per week solely to 
Las Vegas.

</TABLE>
 
    All fluctuations in operating expenses were affected by an overall increase
in ASM of approximately 8.1% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997.
Significant period to period variances were as follows:
 
    Wages and benefits per ASM decreased by 0.08 cents or 3.7%. The dilutive 
effect of increased ASM was offset by increased wages and benefits of $3.5 
million or 4.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. As mentioned 
above, the Company incurred additional wages and benefits primarily due to 
additional headcounts associated with increased long-haul flying.
 
    Maintenance materials and repairs per ASM increased by 0.12 cents or 9.3% 
in the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 over the nine month period 
ended September 30, 1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the 
Company experienced $9.0 million or 18.2% in additional maintenance primarily 
due to (1) $5.4 million more in DC-10 maintenance expense as the Company 
utilized ten DC-10 aircraft during 1997 versus on average, eight to nine in 
1996 and (2) $3.6 million more in DC-9 airframe and engine repairs.
 
    Rentals and landing fees per ASM were primarily affected by decreased
landing fees as a result of a two-year moratorium placed on landing fees at 
the Honolulu International Airport commencing September 1, 1997. The Company
had averaged approximately $500,000 per month in landing fees at the Honolulu 
International Airport prior to the moratorium.

                       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    The Company believes that it has various options available to meet its 
capital, debt and operating commitments, including cash on hand at September 
30, 1997 of $32.8 million, internally generated funds and a credit facility 
with total availability of $12.5 million as of September 30, 1997, with 
aggregate term loans and letters of credit outstanding in the amounts of $5.2 
million and $100,000, respectively. The Company will continue to consider 
various borrowing or leasing options to supplement its cash requirements.
 
    As of September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of $2.2 
million, representing a $6.2 million decrease from $8.4 million of working 
capital at December 31, 1996. Cash and cash equivalents for the nine month 
period ended September 30, 1997 decreased by $4.5 million. Operating 
activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 provided $10.0 
million in cash and cash equivalents. Through the nine month period ended 
September 30, 1997, the Company expended $11.5 million of its $19.2 million 
in planned capital expenditures for 1997, approximately $3.5 million of which 
has been recorded in other assets. Capitalized portions of scheduled DC-9 
checks and overhauls, consolidation of the Company's overseas passenger and 
baggage processing operations into the Honolulu Interisland Terminal and 
continued investments in improved software, related hardware and 
implementation costs represent a majority of these capital expenditures.
 
    Effective March 1, 1997, the Company entered into petroleum derivative 
and commodity hedging contracts to provide some short-term protection against 
the possible future increase in aircraft fuel costs. The Company employs a 
strategy whereby petroleum derivative and commodity hedging contracts are 
used to cover approximately 35% to 45% of the Company's anticipated aircraft 
fuel needs for the next eight to twelve months. At September 30, 1997, the 
Company had petroleum hedging contracts outstanding with an aggregate 
notional value of $6.9 million.
 
    During third quarter 1997, various events occurred which could affect the 
Company in the future. Management cannot currently estimate the impact, if 
any, of these events on its results of operations, liquidity or capital 
resources: 


1)  As mentioned in Note 4 to Condensed Financial Statements, effective July 
    15, 1997, the Company consummated a code share agreement with American 
    which will be implemented in first quarter 1998. Further, in July 1997, 
    the Company entered into a marketing alliance with Continental Airlines, 
    Inc. and Continental Micronesia, Inc. that will make the Company the 
    primary Interisland carrier for the two international airlines; 

2)  On July 25, 1997, a competitor in the Interisland market, Mahalo Air, 
    Inc. ("Mahalo") filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11, 
    Title 11 of the United States Code. On September 2, 1997, Mahalo 
    suspended its flight operations. On October 20, 1997, a continuance was 
    allowed in order to ascertain the effect of a liquidation on the possible 
    sale of Mahalo's operating license for recovery of monies for creditors. On
    November 10, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that should Mahalo not 
    accumulate sufficient funds within 14 days, no financial reorganization 
    would occur under Chapter 11 and all of Mahalo's remaining assets will 
    be sold to pay creditors;

3)  In an attempt to boost tourism, effective September 1, 1997, a two-year 
    moratorium was placed on aircraft landing fees at the Honolulu 
    International Airport by the Governor of the State of Hawaii. The 
    Governor has reserved the right, however to reinstate the landing fee 
    charges before the two-year period ends. Based on 

                                      13

<PAGE>

    current flight schedules, the Company anticipates that it could save up to 
    $6.0 million per year as a result of the moratorium; 

4)  Effective October 1, 1997, a new law was enacted to replace the Federal 
    passenger excise tax which expired September 30, 1997. The new 
    legislation includes a gradual reduction in the 10% airline ticket tax to 
    7.5% by the year 2002, a phasing in of a $3 "head tax" per domestic 
    flight segment, an increase in round-trip international departure and 
    arrival taxes from $6 to $24 per passenger and a tax on the purchase of 
    frequent flier miles. The Company has and will adjust its fares 
    accordingly due to these enacted tax changes based upon prevailing market 
    conditions. Although not quantifiable, management believes a significant 
    portion of the activity in air traffic liability, cash and cash 
    equivalents and accounts receivable to be attributable to increased sales 
    activity made in advance of the effective date of the aforementioned 
    excise taxes.
