                         Notes to Financial Statements   


(1)  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheets as
     of March 31, 1995, March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1994 and the related
     unaudited Statements of Income, Partners' Capital and Cash Flows for the
     quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 contain all adjustments, consisting
     only of normally recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the
     financial position as of March 31, 1995, March 31, 1994 and December 31,
     1994 and the results of operations, changes in partners' capital and cash
     flows for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

(2)  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
     Financial Statements and the Notes to Financial Statements filed with
     the Commission in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(3)  All production costs are annualized for interim reporting purposes, with
     the difference between costs incurred to date and costs expensed to date
     being reported on the balance sheet as an annualized cost adjustment.

(4)  All capital allocations reflect the general partners' 1% equity interest
     and the limited partners' 99% percent equity interest.

(5)  Because the Partnership is not presently a taxable entity, no current
     income taxes have been accrued.  The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
     1987 includes a provision that some publicly traded limited partnerships,
     including the Partnership, are to be taxed as corporations beginning in
     1998.

     In 1993 the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("FAS No. 109") and has
     applied the provisions of FAS No. 109 retroactively to January 1, 1988.
     Prior year financial statements have been restated to give effect to this
     standard.  The Partnership is also required to accrue a deferred income
     tax expense, or credit, for changes in the deferred income tax liability
     balance.  This charge, or credit, does not have a relationship to income,
     or loss, before taxes.

(6)  On March 10, 1995, the first quarter cash distribution was declared in the
     amount of five (5) cents per Class A Unit, payable on May 15, 1995 to
     unitholders of record as of March 31, 1995.

(7)  On March 31, 1995, there were 7,500,000 Class A Units issued and
     outstanding and 1,500,000 Class B Units issued and outstanding.  No value
     has been assigned to the Class B Units.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations


OPERATING RESULTS -- FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994

First quarter 1995 nut sales revenues increased by 80% versus the same quarter
in 1994 as a result of higher levels of production:

The increase in first quarter 1995 nut production reflects harvest timing
differences (due to this crop year's nut drop being later than last year's) as
well as an increase in production for the 1994-95 crop year compared to the
1993-94 crop year.

Weather at the Partnership's Keaau orchards has been good recently. However,
weather at the Partnership's Ka'u orchards has been drier than normal so far
this year but flowering and nut set have nonetheless been good in the younger
Ka'u orchards.  Absent a return to more normal weather patterns in the next
several weeks, there is some risk that production from the mature Ka'u orchards
could be somewhat lower than normal during the 1995-96 crop year.

Nut prices used for interim reporting reflect the estimated full year
processing and marketing performance of Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Corporation
("Mauna Loa"), which purchases all of the Partnership's nut production.  As the
majority of nut purchases and nut sales occurs in the second half of the year,
nut prices are subject to subsequent adjustment based on Mauna Loa's actual
full year performance.

The nut price for the first quarter 1995 was 6% higher than for the first
quarter 1994.  The 1% reduction in the USDA two-year trailing average (half of
the nut price formula) was offset by a forecasted 13% increase in the netback
(the other half of the nut price formula).

                                      
                                      9
<PAGE>   10

Production expenses per pound were 6% lower primarily due to orchard mix (with
proportionately more pounds from the Partnership's lower cost orchards).

General and administrative expenses were 4% higher in the first quarter of 1995
than for the same quarter of 1994 primarily due to higher excise taxes
resulting from higher nut production and higher paper and postage costs related
to investor tax reporting.

Net interest expense for the first quarter of 1995 was roughly flat with the
first quarter of 1994 as higher interest rates were offset by lower line of
credit balances.

SEASONALITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Macadamia nut farming is seasonal, with production peaking late in the fall.
However, farming operations continue year round.  As a result, additional
working capital is required for much of the year.

The Partnership has a $4.0 million revolving line of credit in place to fund
working capital needs.  Line of credit drawings decreased from $3.3 million at
March 31, 1994 to zero at March 31, 1995 due primarily to the cash generated by
the Partnership in 1994 and 1995 year-to-date exceeding cash distributions.

Cash flow from the Ka'u orchard acquired in December 1986 was supplemented
through 1993 by stabilization payments from the seller of that orchard.  Cash
flow from the Ka'u and Mauna Kea orchards acquired in October 1989 was
supplemented through 1994 by cash flow warranty payments from the sellers of
those orchards.

It is the opinion of management that the Partnership has adequate borrowing
capacity available to meet anticipated working capital needs.  Except for
opportunistic orchard acquisitions, the Partnership has made no major capital
expenditures since inception and has none currently planned.

INFLATION AND TAXES

In general, prices paid to macadamia nut farmers fluctuate independently of
inflation.  Those prices are influenced strongly by prices for finished
macadamia products which, in turn, depend on competition and consumer
acceptance.  Farming costs, particularly materials and labor, do generally
reflect inflationary trends as do general and administrative costs.

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 ("OBRA") provides that some
publicly traded limited partnerships, including the Partnership, are to be
taxed as corporations beginning in 1998.  If this provision is not modified and
if the Partnership does not modify its operating structure prior to 1998, the
amount of cash available for distribution could be reduced materially.

As a result of the OBRA provision, the Partnership implemented Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("FAS No.  109") in
1993, and has applied the provisions of FAS No. 109 retroactively to January 1,
1988.  Prior year financial statements have been restated to give effect to
this standard.  The Partnership is also required to accrue a deferred income
tax expense, or credit, for changes in the deferred income tax liability
balance.  This charge, or credit, does not have a relationship to income, or
loss, before taxes.
