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

Overview

  CPB Inc. (the "Company") posted first quarter 1999 net income
of $3.679 million, increasing by 1.4% over the $3.628 million
earned in the first quarter of 1998.  The increase in net income
was mainly due to increases in net interest income and other
operating income, offset by increases in the provision for loan
losses and other operating expenses.  As of March 31, 1999, total
assets of $1,571.4 million increased by $10.5 million or 0.7%, 
and net loans of $1,131.6 million increased by $45.7 million or
4.2%, while total deposits of $1,262.7 million decreased by $6.4
million or 0.5% compared with year-end 1998. 

  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
eight years but is beginning to show signs of improvement.  The
statewide unemployment rate in March 1999 dropped to 5.7%, from
6.1% in March 1998 and 5.8% in February 1999.  The unemployment

1
<PAGE>
rate on the island of Oahu was 4.9%, closer to the national rate
of 4.2%.

  In 1998, Hawaii's largest industry, tourism, suffered from the
Asian financial crisis and increased competition from other
vacation destinations.  However, recent activity indicates a
slight improvement.  Year-to-date visitor arrivals through
February were  comparable to 1998 levels, reflecting a 6.6%
increase in westbound visitors (primarily from the mainland U.S.)
which offset a 10.0% decrease in eastbound visitors (including
Japan and other Asian countries).  Similarly, hotel occupancy
rates have stabilized in the first quarter of 1999, after 23
consecutive months of decline.  Hotels on the islands of Maui and
Kauai posted strong increases in March 1999 occupancy rates
compared to March 1998, while the statewide occupancy rate was
virtually unchanged from the previous year.  As the economic
situation stabilizes in Asia, and with continued strength in the
mainland U.S. economy, local economists forecast a mild rebound
for the visitor industry during 1999 and into the year 2000.

  Local real estate sales activity continues to improve, with
total dollar-volume of residential real estate sales on Oahu in
the first quarter of 1999 increasing by 9.5% over the first
quarter of 1998, following a 17.7% increase in 1998 over 1997. 
The combination of low interest rates and relatively stable real
estate prices has contributed to the increased sales activity.

  Hawaii's economic environment has had, and will likely
continue to have, a direct effect on our Company's performance. 
Indicative of the prolonged economic stagnation, Central Pacific
Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has
experienced an increase in commercial and residential mortgage
loan losses as further discussed in "Provision for Loan Losses." 
While the Hawaii economy is expected to grow modestly in the near
future, actual results in tourism, employment 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 1999 may be directly impacted by the ability of
success of the Hawaii economy to sustain the positive trends
experienced in recent months.

  The "Year 2000" problem remains a primary focus of the
organization.  The Company has completed testing of all mission-
critical systems and vendors, including interfaces with third
parties.  No major problems were identified during this testing
phase, and any remediation and retesting is expected to be
completed in the first half of 1999.  The Company's efforts are
now focused on customer awareness and preparedness and
contingency planning.  Programs have been implemented to educate
our customers on potential problems and to assess their
compliance status to ensure minimal risk of business disruption
and economic loss.  Customers representing approximately 2% of

2
<PAGE>
loans outstanding and 3% of deposits have been assessed to have a
high risk of noncompliance, and accordingly, programs have been
implemented to closely monitor their compliance efforts. 
Further, Year 2000 compliance has been incorporated into the
underwriting standards for new loans and renewal requests, and a
Year 2000 risk factor has been incorporated into the assessment
of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Contingency
plans, which include outsourcing alternatives, manual processing,
suspension of non-critical functions and the securing of
additional sources of short-term liquidity, have been updated to
ensure that the Company is prepared to handle the most likely
worst-case scenario, including the inability of customers,
vendors and other third parties to adequately address the Year
2000 problem.  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 new and enhanced systems and equipment are
being capitalized and amortized over their respective useful
lives.  Expenditures related to the Company's internal resources
and other Year 2000 compliance costs are being expensed as
incurred.  To date, equipment and software expenditures totaled
approximately $3.5 million out of a projected $4 million.  Future
expenditures are not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's results of operations; however, no assurance can be
given at this time that all aspects of the Company's operations
will be Year 2000-compliant, nor that the Year 2000 problem will
not have an adverse impact on the Company's future 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, 1998.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income
  A comparison of net interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 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."

</TABLE>

  Net interest margin was impacted by the recovery of more than
$200,000 in interest income on nonaccrual loans during the first
quarter of 1999, compared with reversal of more than $350,000 in
interest income on nonaccrual loans in the first quarter of 1998. 
Interest income was virtually unchanged in the first quarter of
1999 compared to the same period in 1998.  Average interest
earning assets of $1,466.6 million increased by $55.3 million or
3.9%, reflecting a $70.3 million increase in average loans and a
$9.0 million decrease in average investment securities.  The
yield on interest earning assets of 7.65% for the first quarter
of 1999 decreased from the 7.97% yield for the first quarter of
1998 due primarily to a reduction in the general level of
interest rates during the past year.

  Interest and fees on loans increased by $251,000 or 1.1% in
the first three months of 1999 when compared with the first
quarter of 1998.  Excluding the $550,000 net benefit from
interest on nonaccrual loans, the decline in interest and fees on
loans was attributed to the reduction in loan yields due to the
decline in market interest rates.  Interest and dividends on
investment securities was virtually unchanged, while interest on
deposits in other banks declined by $351,000 due to a reduction
in short-term investable funds compared to the prior year.

  Interest expense for the three months of 1999 decreased by
$894,000 or 7.7% as compared to the same period in 1998.  Average
interest-bearing liabilities of $1,211.0 million increased by
$43.7 million or 3.7% during the period, including a $30.9
million increase in money-market deposits and a $20.6 million
increase in time deposits of $100,000 or more.  The average rate
on interest-bearing liabilities declined to 3.55% in the first
quarter of 1999 from 3.99% in the first quarter of 1998 due
primarily to the decline in market interest rates.

  The resultant net interest income for the first quarter of
1999 of $17.3 million increased by $845,000 or 5.1%, and net
interest margin improved to 4.72% from 4.66%.  However, excluding
the impact of the nonaccrual interest adjustments, net interest
margin declined by ten basis points.  Strong competition for both
loans and deposits, particularly core deposits, is expected to
continue and may create additional pressure on net 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 following table sets forth certain information with
respect to the Company's allowance for loan losses as of the
dates and for the periods indicated.

</TABLE>

  The provision for loan losses of $1.5 million for the first
quarter of 1999 increased by 53.8% over the same period in 1998,
reflecting the higher level of loan losses experienced during the
past year.  Net loan charge-offs of $1.2 million and $493,000,
when expressed as an annualized percentage of average total
loans, was 0.44% and 0.19%, respectively.  Loan charge-offs
during the first quarter of 1999 included a $700,000 charge-off
on a hotel-related commercial loan and several residential real
estate loans.  Consumer loan charge-offs decreased to 7% of total
charge-offs during the first three months of 1999, compared to
58% in the first quarter of 1998, due primarily to the sale of
the credit card portfolio in the third quarter of 1998.

  The allowance for loan losses expressed as a percentage of
total loans was 1.77% at March 31, 1999, declining slightly from
1.81% at December 31, 1998.  Considering the decline in
nonaccrual and delinquent loans during the year, 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.

</TABLE>

  Nonperforming assets, loans delinquent for 90 days or more and
restructured loans still accruing interest totaled $16.8 million
at March 31, 1999, a decrease of $2.7 million or 14.0% from year-
end 1998.  Nonaccrual loans, loans delinquent for 90 days or more
and restructured loans still accruing interest were comprised
primarily of loans secured by commercial or residential real
property in the state of Hawaii.  Nonaccrual loans of $11.5
million included a $1.6 million loan secured by multi-family
residential property and a $1.2 million loan secured by
commercial real estate located on Oahu.  Nonaccrual loans at
March 31, 1999 also included a number of commercial mortgages and
residential mortgages on properties located throughout the state. 
Loans delinquent for 90 days or more and still accruing interest
totaled $4.9 million at March 31, 1999, a slight decrease from
year-end 1998 levels.  Impaired loans at March 31, 1999 totaled
$9.2 million and included all nonaccrual and restructured loans
greater than $500,000.  The allowance for loan losses allocated
to impaired loans amounted to $2.0 million at March 31, 1999.

  Management continues to closely monitor loan delinquencies and
work with borrowers to resolve loan problems; however,
continuation of the current 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 for the first quarter of 1999 of
$3.3 million increased by $453,000 or 15.7% over the first
quarter of 1998.  A gain on sale of investment securities of
$203,000 and increased earnings on corporate-owned life insurance
policies contributed to the increase in other operating income.

Other Operating Expense
  Total other operating expense of $13.1 million for the first
quarter of 1999 increased by $608,000 or 4.9% over the same
period in 1998.  This increase was primarily attributed to a
$350,000 accrual for potential losses on an international debit
card fraud scheme and outsourcing expenses related to the
servicing of merchant accounts.  Management expects to recover a
portion of the debit card loss during the second quarter of 1999
and has installed additional manual and technological controls 
to minimize the risk of future losses of this nature.

<PAGE>
Income Taxes
  The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1999 was
36.18%, compared with the previous year's rate of 35.84%.  The
tax rate for 1998 reflected the recognition of expected tax
benefits, which were subsequently reversed, related to the
formation of a real estate investment trust in the first quarter
of 1998.  While the Company believes that the associated tax
benefits are realizable, the state of Hawaii has indicated that
it may challenge the tax treatment.  As of March 31, 1999, the
cumulative estimated tax benefits not yet recognized amounted to
$1.4 million.

Financial Condition

  Total assets at March 31, 1999 of $1.57 billion increased by
$10.5 million or 0.7% over year-end 1998.  Net loans of $1.13
billion increased by $45.7 million or 4.2%, funded by a decrease
in investments securities of $34.4 million or 9.8%.

  Total deposits at March 31, 1999 of $1.26 billion decreased by
$6.4 million or 0.5% from year-end 1998.  Noninterest-bearing
deposits of $180.7 million decreased by $6.2 million or 3.3%,
while interest-bearing deposits of $1.08 billion was unchanged
from year-end 1998.  Core deposits (noninterest-bearing demand,
interest-bearing demand and savings deposits, and time deposits
under $100,000) at March 31, 1999 of $922.2 million decreased
slightly by $2.8 million or 0.3% during the first quarter of
1999, and time deposits of $100,000 and over of $340.5 million
decreased by $3.6 million or 1.1%.  The decrease in core deposits
included decreases of $4.6 million in business checking accounts
and $4.4 million in business money market deposits, offset by a
$5.6 million increase 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 $149.2 million at March 31, 1999
increased by $1.2 million or 0.8% over December 31, 1998.  When
expressed as a percentage of total assets, stockholders' equity
increased slightly to 9.50% at March 31, 1999, compared to 9.49%
at year-end 1998.  On March 15, 1999, the board of directors
declared a first quarter cash dividend of $0.13 per share,
consistent with the dividend declared in the first quarter of
1998.  Dividends declared in the first quarter of 1999 totaled
$1,269,000 compared with $1,379,000 in the first quarter of 1998,
an 8.0% decrease resulting from the reduction in outstanding
shares due to the stock repurchase program which commenced in
1998.

  As of March 31, 1999, a total of 877,988 out of an approved
1.1 million shares have been repurchased under the Company's
stock repurchase program at a weighted average price of $17.36. 

9
<PAGE>
The remaining repurchases will be conducted in the open market
and are dependent upon market conditions.  The stock repurchase
program has resulted in a slight decrease in capital and capital
ratios and a corresponding increase in equity-based performance
measures.

  The Company's objective with respect to capital resources is
to maintain a level of capital that will support sustained asset
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-adjusted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio
of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets of 4%.  In addition to
the risk-based guidelines, federal banking regulators require
banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1
capital to total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio.  For
a banking organization rated in the highest of the five
categories used by regulators to rate banking organizations, the
minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets must by
3%. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines
and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the
regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital
requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly
above the minimum guidelines and ratios.

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

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,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

2.  Comprehensive Income

  Components of other comprehensive income for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 were comprised solely of unrealized
holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale investment
securities.  Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of
taxes, is presented below as of the dates indicated:

  Balance at end of period                   $ 34      $129 
</TABLE>

3.  Segment Information

  The Company has three reportable segments: retail branches,
commercial finance and treasury.  The segments reported are
consistent with internal functional reporting lines.  They are
managed separately because each unit has different target
markets, technological requirements, marketing strategies and
specialized skills.  The retail branch segment includes all
retail branch offices.  Products and services offered include a
full range of deposit and loan products, safe deposit boxes and
various other bank services.  The commercial finance segment
focuses on lending to corporate customers, residential mortgage
lending, construction and real estate development lending and
international banking services.  The treasury segment is
responsible for managing the Company's investment securities
portfolio and wholesale funding activities.

  The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with
the Company's accounting policies which are described in note 1
to the consolidated financial statements in the 1998 Annual
Report to Shareholders.  The majority of the Company's net income
is derived from net interest income.  Accordingly, Management

F-8
<PAGE>
focuses primarily on net interest income (expense), rather than
gross interest income and expense amounts, in evaluating segment
profitability.  Intersegment net interest income (expense) is
allocated to each segment based on the amount of net investable
funds provided (used) by that segment at a rate equal to the
Bank's average rate on interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. 
All administrative and overhead expenses are allocated to the
segments at cost.  Cash, investment securities, loans and their
related balances are allocated to the segment responsible for
acquisition and maintenance of those assets.  Segment assets also
include all premises and equipment used directly in segment
operations.

  Segment profits and assets are provided in the following table
for the periods indicated.

4.  Accounting Pronouncements

  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities.  SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.  Earlier
application is permitted only as of the beginning of a fiscal
quarter.  The application of SFAS No. 133, effective from January
1, 2000, is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

  In February 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 135, "Rescission of
FASB Statement No. 75 and Technical Corrections."  SFAS No. 135,
effective for fiscal years ending after February 15, 1999,
rescinds SFAS No. 75, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain
Accounting Requirements for Pension Plans of State and Local
Governmental Units," and amends SFAS No. 35, "Accounting and
Reporting by Defined Benefit Pension Plans," to exclude from its
scope plans that are sponsored by and provide benefits for
employees of state and local governmental units.  SFAS No. 135
also amends other existing authoritative guidance to make various
technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe
applicability under changed conditions.  As the rescission of
SFAS No. 75 and amendment of SFAS No. 35 relate solely to
governmental entities, and as the technical corrections do not
significantly change existing authoritative guidance, the
application of SFAS No. 135 is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
