Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

  CPB Inc. (the "Company") posted first quarter 1998 net income
of $3.628 million, increasing by 1.0% over the $3.591 million
earned in the first quarter of 1997.  The increase in net income
was mainly due to increases in net interest income and other
operating income, coupled with income tax benefits derived from
the establishment of a captive real estate investment trust in
the first quarter of 1998.  As of March 31, 1998, total assets of
$1,524.3 million increased by $27.2 million or 1.8%, net loans of
$1,061.2 million increased by $39.4 million or 3.9%, and total
deposits of $1,200.3 million increased by $7.1 million or 0.6%
compared with year-end 1997.  On October 8, 1997, the Company's
board of directors (the "Board") approved a two-for-one stock
split effective  October 20, 1997, on common stock outstanding as
of that date.  All financial information presented in this report
has been adjusted for the two-for-one stock split.

  The following table presents annualized return on average
assets, annualized return on average stockholders' equity and
basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated.

  Hawaii's economy has experienced little growth in the past seven
years and shows little signs of significant improvement in the near
future.  Bankruptcy filings statewide continue to rise, up 28.4% in
the first quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997,
following a 44.4% increase in 1997 over 1996.  Recent announcements
of layoffs totaling several thousand positions from both the
private and public sectors suggest further increases in bankruptcy
filings in the future.  

  The visitor industry, which has sustained the economy in
recent years, has shown signs of weakness.  Year-to-date visitor
arrivals through March have declined by 1.7% from 1997 levels.  The
decrease is attributed to economic problems in Asia and strong
competition from other vacation destinations.  As a
result, the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau has revised its
outlook for 1998 downward, projecting zero growth in visitor
arrivals, with the possibility of a 2% decline.

  Meanwhile, the local real estate market has shown signs of
improvement, with total residential real estate sales volume on
Oahu increasing by 25.7% over the first quarter of 1997.  In 1997,
single-family residence resales posted double-digit
increases on all the major islands.  The combination of low
interest rates and a general belief that real estate prices have
stabilized have contributed to the increased sales activity.

  Economic conditions have had, and will likely continue to have,
an adverse effect on our Company.  Indicative of this economic
environment, Central Pacific Bank (the "Bank"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has experienced an
increase in residential mortgage loan losses as further discussed
in "Provision for Loan Losses."  While the Hawaii economy is
expected to grow modestly in 1998, future trends in bankruptcy and
foreclosure filings, employment, tourism and the real estate market
could affect loan demand, deposit growth, provision for loan
losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. 
Accordingly, the results of operations of the Company for the
remainder of 1998 may be adversely impacted by a lack of
improvement in the economic climate in the State of Hawaii.

  The "Year 2000" problem remains a primary focus of the
organization.  Integral to the Company's efforts is the upcoming
conversion of the Bank's core processing systems to an AS/400-based
integrated banking system which is scheduled for completion during
the third quarter of 1998.  Greater attention is also being given
to the compliance status and efforts of our customers to ensure
minimal risk of business disruption and economic loss.  The Company
has expended, and will continue to expend,
substantial resources to address this issue on a timely basis. 
Equipment and software expenditures related to the implementation
of the new integrated banking system are expected to be
capitalized and amortized over their respective useful lives. 
Expenditures related to the Company's internal resources and

2
<PAGE>
expenditures related to the Year 2000 compliance effort are being
expensed as incurred.  No estimate of the expected total cost of
this effort can be made at this time, nor can any assurance be
given that the "Year 2000" problem will not have an adverse impact
on the Company's earnings.

  Certain matters discussed in this report on Form 10-Q may
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-
looking statements relate to, among other things, Year 2000
compliance, net interest income, net interest margin, the levels of
nonperforming loans, loan losses and the allowance for loan losses. 
Important factors that could cause the results to differ from those
discussed in this report include, but are not limited to, general
business conditions in the state of Hawaii, the real estate market
in Hawaii, competitive conditions among financial institutions,
regulatory changes in the financial services
industry, the ability of other entities to become Year 2000
compliant and other risks detailed in the Company's reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income
  A comparison of net interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 is set forth below on a taxable
equivalent basis using an assumed income tax rate of 35%.  Net
interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average
interest earning assets, is referred to as "net interest margin".

                                               Three Months Ended
                                                        March 31,
                                                   1998      1997
                                           (Dollars in thousands)

Interest income                                 $28,107   $26,519
Interest expense                                 11,654    10,684 
  Net interest income                           $16,453   $15,835

Net interest margin                               4.66%     4.75%

  Net interest margin was impacted by the reversal of more than
$350,000 in interest income on loans placed on nonaccrual status
during the quarter.  Interest income increased by $1.6 million or
6.0% in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in
1997, due to the higher level of interest earning assets held in
1998.  Average interest earning assets of $1,411.4 million
increased by $78.3 million or 5.9%, including an $87.3 million
increase in investment securities and a $14.0 million increase in
average loans.  The yield on interest earning assets of 7.97% for
the first quarter of 1998 increased slightly over the 7.96% yield
for the first quarter of 1997.

<PAGE>
  Interest and fees on loans increased by $144,000 or 0.6% in the
first three months of 1998, net of the $350,000 in interest
reversals, due to the increase in average loan balances. Interest
and dividends on investment securities increased by $1.5 million
due also to the increase in average balances, while interest on
deposits in other banks declined by $256,000 due to a reduction in
short-term investable funds compared to the prior year.

  Interest expense for the three months of 1998 increased by
$970,000 or 9.1% as compared to the same period in 1997 due to the
increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $73.8 million
or 6.7%.  The average rate on interest-bearing
liabilities for the first quarter of 1998 of 3.99% increased from
3.91% in 1997 due primarily to the increased ratio of higher-
costing long-term debt and time deposits of $100,000 and over.

  The resulting net interest income for the first quarter of 1998
of $16.2 million increased by $438,000 or 2.8%.  Net
interest margin declined to 4.66% from 4.75%, with a ten-basis-
point decline attributable to the aforementioned interest
reversals.  Strong competition for both loans and deposits,
particularly core deposits, and the increased reliance on higher-
cost funds are expected to further compress interest margins in the
future.

Provision for Loan Losses
  Provision for loan losses is determined by Management's
ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio and assessment of the
ability of the allowance for loan losses to cover inherent
losses.  The Company, considering current information and events
regarding a borrower's ability to repay its obligations, treats a
loan as impaired when it is probable that the Company will be
unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual
terms of the loan agreement.  When a loan is considered to be
impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate or, if the loan is considered to be
collateral dependent, based on the fair value of the
collateral.  Impairment losses are included in the allowance for
loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses.  For
smaller-balance homogeneous loans (primarily residential real
estate and consumer loans), the allowance for loan losses is based
upon Management's evaluation of the quality, character and risks
inherent in the loan portfolio, current and projected economic
conditions, and historical loan loss experience.  The allowance is
increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by
loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.

  The provision for loan losses of $975,000 for the first
quarter of 1998 increased by 30.0% over the same period in 1997,
reflecting the poor economic outlook for Hawaii and the higher
level of loan losses expected as a result.  Net loan charge-offs of
$493,000 and $411,000, when expressed as an annualized
percentage of average total loans, was 0.19% and 0.16%,
respectively.  Loan charge-offs during the first quarter of 1998
included several residential real estate loans, the largest being

5
<PAGE>
an $80,000 loan charge-off.  Consumer loans comprised
approximately 58% of all loans charged off during the first three
months of 1998, compared to 61% in the first quarter of 1997,
reflecting the impact on individuals of the prolonged economic
slump.  Notwithstanding the increase in the ratio of net loan
charge-offs to average loans, the Company's net loan charge-off
ratio of 0.19% remained relatively low.

  The allowance for loan losses expressed as a percentage of total
loans was 1.82% at March 31, 1998, declining slightly from 1.84% at
December 31, 1997.  Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses was adequate to cover the credit risks
inherent in the loan portfolio.  However, continuation of current
economic conditions in the state of Hawaii may adversely affect
borrowers' ability to repay, collateral values and, consequently,
the level of nonperforming loans and provision for loan losses.

property in the state of Hawaii.  Nonaccrual loans of $17.5 million
included several large commercial and commercial mortgage loans
described as follows.  Loans to a hotel interest on the island of
Oahu totaling $5.3 million are partially secured by a first
mortgage on the hotel property.  Two loans totaling $3.9 million
are secured by commercial real estate located on the island of
Maui, and loans totaling $3.8 million to a real estate developer
are secured by various properties on Oahu.  Nonaccrual loans also
include a number of residential mortgages situated throughout the
state.  Other real estate of $3.4 million at March 31, 1998
included a $1.0 million residential condominium unit, a $1.8
million residence and several other residential properties, most of
which were located on Oahu.  Loans delinquent for 90 days or more
and still accruing interest totaled $12.2 million at March 31,
1998, were consistent with year-end 1997 levels.  Impaired loans at
March 31, 1998 totaled $22.5 million and
included all nonaccrual and restructured loans greater than
$500,000.  The allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired
loans amounted to $4.7 million at March 31, 1998.

  Management continues to closely monitor loan delinquencies and
work with borrowers to resolve loan problems; however,
continuation of stagnant economic conditions in the state of Hawaii
may result in future increases in nonperforming assets,
delinquencies, net loan charge-offs, provision for loan losses and
noninterest expense.

Other Operating Income
  Total other operating income in the first quarter of 1998 of $2.9
million increased by $322,000 or 12.6% over the first
quarter of 1997.  Increases of $145,000 in service charges on
deposits and $100,000 in other service charges and fees
contributed to the increase in earnings.

Other Operating Expense
  Total other operating expense of $12.5 million for the first
quarter of 1998 increased by $792,000 or 6.8% over the same period
in 1997.  This increase was primarily attributed to
accruals related to the Bank's incentive compensation programs and
a $300,000 writedown of other real estate.  Increases in credit
card expenses, computer software costs and advertising expense also
contributed to the increase in other operating expense.

Income Taxes
  The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1998 was
35.84%, compared with the previous year's rate of 39.26%.  The
decrease in tax rates for 1998 resulted from an increase in tax-
exempt investments and loans held during 1998, as well as tax

advantages derived from the formation of a real estate investment
trust in the first quarter of 1998.

Financial Condition

  Total assets at March 31, 1998 of $1.52 billion increased by
$27.2 million or 1.8% over year-end 1997.  Net loans of $1.06
billion increased by $39.4 million or 3.9%, and investment
securities of $329.5 million increased by $8.8 million or 2.8%. 
Funding was provided by a reduction in cash and interest-bearing
deposits in other banks by $21.2 million, a $7.1 million increase
in deposits and a $17.9 million increase in short-term borrowings
and long-term debt, primarily from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Seattle.

  Total deposits at March 31, 1998 of $1.20 billion increased by
$7.1 million or 0.6% over year-end 1997.  Noninterest-bearing
deposits of $158.9 million decreased by $9.6 million or 5.7%, while
interest-bearing deposits of $1.04 billion increased by $16.8
million or 1.6%.  Core deposits (noninterest-bearing
demand, interest-bearing demand and savings deposits, and time
deposits under $100,000) at March 31, 1998 of $874.0 million
decreased slightly by $2.0 million or 0.2% during the first quarter
of 1998, while time deposits of $100,000 and over of $326.3 million
increased by $9.1 million or 2.9%.  The decrease in core deposits
included an increase of $6.6 million in business money market
deposits, offset by a $5.7 million decline in
personal savings accounts.  Local competition for deposits
remains strong and will continue to challenge the bank's ability to
gather low-cost retail funds.

Capital Resources

  Stockholders' equity of $154.3 million at March 31, 1998
increased by $2.6 million or 1.7% over December 31, 1997.  When
expressed as a percentage of total assets, stockholders' equity
decreased slightly to 10.12% at March 31, 1998, compared to 10.14%
at year-end 1997.  On March 16, 1998, the Board declared a first
quarter cash dividend of $0.13 per share, an increase of 8.3% over
the dividend declared in the first quarter of 1997.  Dividends
declared in the first quarter of 1998 totaled
$1,379,000 compared with $1,265,000 in the first quarter of 1997,
a 9.0% increase.

  On April 21, 1998, the Board authorized a stock repurchase
program to repurchase up to 5% or approximately 530,000 shares out
of 10.6 million shares of the Company's common stock
outstanding.  The repurchase of shares, to be conducted over a one-
year period in the open market, will be dependent upon market
conditions.

  The Company's objective with respect to capital resources is to
maintain a level of capital that will support sustained asset

9
<PAGE>
growth and anticipated credit risks.  Furthermore, the Company
seeks to ensure that regulatory guidelines and industry standards
are met.  Regulations on capital adequacy guidelines adopted by the
Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC") are as follows.  An
institution is required to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying
total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%, of which at least 4%
must consist of Tier I capital, essentially common stockholders'
equity (before unrealized loss on investment securities) less
intangible assets.  The FRB and the FDIC have also adopted a
minimum leverage ratio of Tier I capital to total assets of 3%. 
The leverage ratio requirement establishes the minimum level for
banks that have a uniform composite ("CAMELS") rating of 1, and all
other institutions and institutions experiencing or
anticipating significant growth are expected to maintain capital
levels at least 100 to 200 basis points above the minimum level. 
Furthermore, higher leverage and risk-based capital ratios are
required to be considered well capitalized or adequately
capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions of the
FDIC Improvement Act of 1991.

  The following table sets forth the capital requirements
applicable to the Company and the Company's capital ratios as of
the dates indicated.

                           Required         Actual         Excess

At March 31, 1998:
  Tier I risk-based
     capital ratio            4.00%         11.88%          7.88%
  Total risk-based
     capital ratio            8.00%         13.14%          5.14%
  Leverage capital ratio      4.00%         10.31%          6.31%

   
At December 31, 1997:
  Tier I risk-based
     capital ratio            4.00%         12.45%          8.45%
  Total risk-based
     capital ratio            8.00%         13.71%          5.71%
  Leverage capital ratio      4.00%         10.41%          6.41%
    

  In addition, FDIC-insured institutions such as the Bank must
maintain leverage, Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios of at
least 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively, to be considered "well
capitalized" under the prompt corrective action provisions of the
FDIC Improvement Act of 1991.

CPB INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Presentation

  The financial information included herein is unaudited, except
for the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1998. 
However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion
of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim periods.

  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

2.  Comprehensive Income

  In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  SFAS No. 130,
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997,
establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-
purpose financial statements.  Comprehensive income is defined as
all changes in equity, including net income, except those
resulting from investment by and distributions to owners.  

  Components of other comprehensive income for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were comprised solely of unrealized
holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale investment
securities.  There were no sales of investment securities during
those periods. Income tax expense (benefit) allocated to
components of other comprehensive income were $23,000 and
($253,000) for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  Accumulated other comprehensive income is
presented below as of the dates indicated:

                                                   March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)                        1998      1997

Balance at beginning of period              $  94     $(590)
Current-period change                          35      (381)

  Balance at end of period                  $ 129     $(971)


3.  Accounting Pronouncements

  In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  SFAS No. 131
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997,
although need not be applied to interim periods in the initial 

F-7
<PAGE>
year of implementation.  SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the
way public companies report selected quarterly information about
business segments, including information on products and services,
geographic areas and major customers, based on a
management approach to reporting.    Reclassification of
financial statements for prior periods will be required for
comparative purposes.  As this statement relates solely to
disclosure requirements, its implementation will not have an effect
on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity.

  In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers'
Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," an
amendment of SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions, No.
88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of
Defined Benefit Pension Plans," and No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."  SFAS No. 132,
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997,
standardizes the disclosure requirements for pensions and other
postretirement benefits to the extent practicable, requires
additional information on changes in the benefit
obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate
financial analysis and eliminates certain disclosures that are no
longer useful as they were when SFAS Nos. 87, 88 and 106 were
issued.  The applications of SFAS No. 132 is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
