                         Notes to Financial Statements   


(1)  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheets as
     of March 31, 1996, March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1995 and the related
     unaudited Statements of Income, Partners' Capital and Cash Flows for the
     quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 contain all adjustments, consisting
     only of normally recurring accruals, necessary to pre-sent fairly the
     financial position as of March 31, 1996, March 31, 1995 and December 31,
     1995 and the results of operations, changes in partners' capital and cash
     flows for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

(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 1995 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.

(6)  On March 8, 1996, the first quarter cash distribution was declared in the
     amount of five cents (5c.) per Class A Unit, payable on May 15, 1996 to
     unitholders of record as of March 31, 1996.

(7)  On March 31, 1996, 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, 1996 AND 1995

First quarter 1996 nut sales revenues decreased by 40% versus the same quarter
in 1995 as a result both of lower production and a lower nut price estimate:

</TABLE>


The decrease in first quarter 1996 nut production reflects harvest timing
differences primarily due to the late nut drop for the 1994-95 crop year, which
resulted in unusually high first quarter production in 1995.  For the past five
years, first quarter nut production has averaged 2,896,000 WIS pounds  (with
median  first quarter production of 2,773,000 WIS pounds during that same five
year period).

Weather at the Partnership's orchards in the first quarter of 1996 has been
good.  As a result, we expect good production for the 1996-97 crop year if
weather and other conditions continue to be favorable.

The nut price for the first quarter of 1996 was 13% lower than for the first
quarter of 1995 but was only about 1% lower than the final 1995 nut price.  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.  Since most 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.

Production expenses were 31% lower in the first quarter of 1996 than for the
same quarter in 1995 primarily as a result of the 31% decrease in number of
pounds harvested during the quarter.  Unit costs per pound were roughly the
same in the two quarters.

General and administrative expenses were 11% lower in the first quarter of 1996
than for the same quarter of 1995 as a result of savings in several cost areas.
These included reduced director fees resulting from a reduction in the number
of directors from seven to five, reduced compensation costs resulting from a
staffing realignment and lower excise taxes resulting from lower nut
production.

Net interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 was significantly lower than
in the first quarter of 1995 as a result of improved cash balances in  the
current year.

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 were zero at March 31, 1996 and
at March 31, 1995.  The line of credit is renewable annually on June 1st and it
is the Partnership's intention to renew this line next month.

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 capital
expenditures to date.  The Partnership is currently undertaking a capital
project to convert 102 acres of its younger Ka'u orchards from hand harvesting
to mechanical harvesting during the second quarter of 1996.  This project is
expected to cost approximately $61,000 and will be funded out of current cash
flow.  No other capital expenditure is 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.
