   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OPERATING RESULTS

Net income decreased 26% or $3.7 million for the three months and
22%  or  $7.6  million  for the six months ended  June  30,  1994
compared  to  the  same  periods  in  1993.   The  decreases  are
primarily  the result of higher operating expenses, a  settlement
gain  on  the enhanced early retirement and voluntary  separation
programs offered to eligible employees during the second  quarter
of 1993 partially offset by higher revenues.

Operating Revenues

Operating  revenues increased 10% or $13.8 million for the  three
months and 8% or $22.0 million for the six months ended June  30,
1994.

Local  network service revenues increased 9% or $4.7 million  for
the  three months and 7% or $6.9 million for the six months ended
June  30,  1994  compared  to  the same  periods  in  1993.   The
increases  are  primarily  due to continued  customer  growth  as
reflected by an increase in access lines and higher revenue  from
the start up of 911 service in the second quarter of 1994.

Network access service revenue increased 19% or $5.2 million  for
the  three  months and 22% or $11.5 million for  the  six  months
ended  June 30, 1994 compared to the same periods in  1993.   The
increases are primarily the result of higher carrier common  line
rates,  favorable  pooling settlements and increased  minutes  of
use.

Long distance service revenues increased 17% or $4.4 million  for
the three months and 13% or $7.0 million for the six months ended
June  30,  1994  compared  to  the same  periods  in  1993.   The
increases  are  primarily attributable  to  increased  usage  and
higher international revenues.

Equipment  sales  and  services revenues  decreased  9%  or  $2.3
million for the three months and 11% or $5.2 million for the  six
months ended June 30, 1994 compared to the same periods in  1993.
The  decreases are primarily due to lower revenue from  sales  of
large private branch exchanges.

Other  operating revenues increased 18% or $1.7 million  for  the
three months and 5% or $1.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 1994 compared to the same periods in 1993.  The increases are
primarily  due  to  lower  provisions for uncollectible  accounts
partially  offset by lower directory advertising revenue  in  the
first quarter reflecting a change in the life of directories  and
the timing of publication dates.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Operating Expenses

Operating  expenses increased 19% or $20.4 million for the  three
months and 15% or $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
1994  compared  to the same periods in 1993.  The  increases  are
primarily  the result of a settlement gain on the enhanced  early
retirement and voluntary separation programs offered to  eligible
employees  during  the  second quarter of 1993,  higher  software
costs,   higher   information  management   costs,   and   higher
depreciation resulting from increased plant investments.

Other Expenses

Interest  expense  increased 13% or $1.0 million  for  the  three
months and 14% or $2.1 million for the six months ended June  30,
1994 compared to the same periods in 1993.  The increases are due
to higher average debt levels.

Income  taxes decreased 45% or $3.8 million for the three  months
and  33%  or $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30,  1994
compared  to  the  same  periods  in  1993.   The  decreases  are
primarily  attributable to the decrease in pretax  income  and  a
larger portion of income from nontaxable foreign operations.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's primary source of funds during the first six months
of  1994 was cash flow from operating activities of $61.9 million
compared to $62.7 million for the same period in 1993.

Capital expenditures represent a significant use of funds  during
the  first  six months of 1994 and 1993 reflecting the  Company's
continued  growth  in  access  lines,  modernization  of  current
facilities  and introduction of new products and  services.   The
Company's  capital expenditures during the first  six  months  of
1994 were $84.0 million compared to $68.3 million during the same
period in 1993.  The Company's anticipated construction costs for
1994 are approximately $170.0 million.

Cash provided from financing activities was $26.3 million for the
first  six months of 1994 compared to $5.2 million for  the  same
period  in 1993.  The Company increased short-term borrowings  by
$37.5  million  primarily  to fund capital  additions.   External
financing included the issuance of long-term borrowings  of  $123
million in the first six months of 1993.  The proceeds were  used
to  primarily retire short-term debt.  Dividends of $10.0 million
were  paid  to shareholders in 1994 compared to $14.9 million  in
1993.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


During   the  second  quarter  of  1994,  the  Company  continued
implementation of its re-engineering plan.  This plan will  allow
the  Company  to continue to respond aggressively to  competitive
and  regulatory  developments  through  reduced  costs,  improved
service  quality,  competitive prices and new product  offerings.
Moreover,  implementation of this program  over  the  next  three
years will position the Company to accelerate delivery of a  full
array  of voice, video and data services.  Cash requirements  for
the  implementation of the re-engineering plan  during  1994  are
expected to be largely offset by cost savings.

Management  believes that the Company has adequate  internal  and
external   resources   available  to   meet   ongoing   operating
requirements  for  construction of new  plant,  modernization  of
facilities and payment of dividends.  The Company generally funds
its   construction  program  from  operations  although  external
financing  is available.  Short-term borrowings can  be  obtained
through  commercial paper borrowings or borrowings from GTE.   In
addition,  a  $2.8  billion line of credit is  available  to  the
Company  through  shared  lines of  credit  with  GTE  and  other
affiliates to support short-term financing needs.

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)   The  condensed  consolidated financial statements  included
herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant
to  the  rules  and  regulations of the Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.    Certain   information  and  footnote   disclosures
normally  included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or  omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  However,  in
the   opinion  of  management  of  the  Company,  the   condensed
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments,  which
consist  only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to  present
fairly  the  financial  information  for  such  periods.    These
condensed  consolidated financial statements should  be  read  in
conjunction  with the financial statements and the notes  thereto
included  in  the  Company's 1993 Annual  Report  to  Shareholder
incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)   On  May 11, 1993, the Company filed a general rate increase
application with the Public Utilities Commission of the State  of
Hawaii  (PUC) requesting approval to increase intrastate revenues
by   $50.4  million.   This  represents  a  15.9%  increase  over
intrastate revenues for 1993 at current rates, and is  the  first
rate increase application the Company has filed since 1985.   The
Company's   rate   restructure  proposal  and   earnings   review
investigation  were  incorporated  into  a  rate   case   docket.
Hearings took place in March and April 1994.  A final decision is
expected in late 1994.

(3)   Reclassifications of prior year data have been made in  the
financial  statements where appropriate to conform  to  the  1994
presentation.
