DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
A. OCEAN TRANSPORTATION
--------------------
(1) FREIGHT SERVICES
----------------
Matson's Hawaii Service offers containership freight services
between the ports of Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, and the major ports in
Hawaii, which are located on the islands of Oahu, Kauai, Maui and Hawaii.
Roll-on/roll-off service is provided between California and the major ports in
Hawaii. Container cargo also is received at and delivered to Portland, Oregon,
and moved overland between Portland and Seattle at no extra charge.
Matson is the principal carrier of ocean cargo between the
United States Pacific Coast and Hawaii. In 2000, a fiscal year which for
Matson consisted of 52 weeks, Matson carried 151,496 containers (compared with
151,215 in 1999, which consisted of 53 weeks) and 132,186 motor vehicles
(compared with 101,095 in 1999) between those destinations. In response to the
strengthening Hawaii economy and an increase in demand, Matson added a seventh
vessel to its Hawaii Service in May 2000 and an eighth vessel in October 2000,
and increased the frequency of service. Principal westbound cargoes carried by
Matson to Hawaii include dry containers of mixed commodities, refrigerated
cargoes, packaged foods, building materials and motor vehicles. Principal
eastbound cargoes carried by Matson from Hawaii include household goods, canned
pineapple, refrigerated containers of fresh pineapple, motor vehicles and
molasses. The preponderance of Matson's Hawaii Service revenue is derived from
the westbound carriage of containerized freight and motor vehicles.
Matson's Guam Service provides containership freight service
between the United States Pacific Coast and Guam and Micronesia. Matson's Guam
Service is a component of the Pacific Alliance Service, a strategic alliance
established in 1996 by Matson and American President Lines, Ltd. ("APL") to
provide freight service between the United States Pacific Coast and Hawaii,
Guam, and several Far East ports. In 2000, Matson carried 18,165 containers
(compared with 17,614 in 1999) and 2,616 automobiles (compared with 2,215 in
1999) in the Guam Service. The alliance currently utilizes five vessels (three
Matson vessels and two APL vessels) in a schedule which provides service from
the United States Pacific Coast to Guam and Micronesia, continuing through Far
East ports, and returning to California.
Through October 2000, Matson's Pacific Coast Service provided
containership freight service between Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, and
Vancouver, Canada. Beginning in November, that service was succeeded by the
Pacific Coast Express, a twice-weekly rail and truck service between Los
Angeles and Seattle operated by Matson Intermodal System, Inc. ("Matson
Intermodal"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson, and weekly containership
service between Seattle and Oakland. In 2000, Matson carried 22,842 containers
in the Pacific Coast Service (compared with 33,676 in 1999) and transported
2,678 containers in the Pacific Coast Express.
Matson's Mid-Pacific Service offers container and conventional
freight service between the United States Pacific Coast and the ports of
Kwajalein, Ebeye and Majuro in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and
Johnston Island, all via Honolulu.
See "Rate Regulation" below with respect to Matson's freight
rates.
(2) VESSELS
-------
Matson's cargo fleet consists of eleven containerships, four
combination container/trailerships, one roll-on/roll-off barge, two container
barges equipped with cranes which serve the neighbor islands of Hawaii and one
container barge equipped with cranes in the Mid-Pacific Service. Currently,
three containerships are time-chartered to APL in connection with the Pacific
Alliance Service, and two container/trailerships are bareboat-chartered to Sea
Star Line, LLC, which operates the vessels in the Florida-Puerto Rico trade.
These nineteen vessels represent an investment of approximately $770,352,000
expended over the past 30 years. The majority of vessels in the Matson cargo
fleet have been acquired with the assistance of withdrawals from a Capital
Construction Fund established under Section 607 of the Merchant Marine Act,
1936, as amended.
Matson's fleet units are described on the list on the
following page.
As a complement to its fleet, Matson owns approximately
15,900 containers, 9,900 container chassis, 535 auto-frames and miscellaneous
other equipment. Capital expenditures by Matson in 2000 for vessels, equipment
and systems totaled approximately $36,800,000.
(3) TERMINALS
---------
Matson Terminals, Inc. ("Matson Terminals"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Matson, provides container stevedoring, container equipment
maintenance and other terminal services for Matson and other ocean carriers at
its 108-acre marine terminal in Honolulu. Matson Terminals owns and operates
seven cranes at the terminal, which handled 402,500 containers in 2000
(compared with 373,048 in 1999), and can accommodate three vessels at one time.
Matson Terminals' lease with the State of Hawaii runs through September 2016.
In 2000, planning was finalized for a $32 million terminal improvements project
that will include converting the Honolulu marine terminal from a straddle
carrier-based container handling system to a chassis-based system. The project
is expected to be completed substantially during 2001.
SSA Terminals, LLC ("SSAT"), a joint venture formed by Matson
and Stevedoring Services of America ("SSA") in July 1999, provides terminal and
stevedoring services at West Coast terminal facilities in Los Angeles, Long
Beach, Oakland and Seattle.
Capital expenditures incurred by Matson Terminals for
terminals and equipment totaled approximately $1,500,000 in 2000.

(7) Tug
(4) OTHER SERVICES
--------------
Matson Intermodal is an intermodal marketing company which
arranges North American rail and truck transportation for shippers and
carriers, frequently in conjunction with ocean transportation. Through volume
purchases of rail and motor carrier transportation services, augmented by such
services as shipment tracing and single-vendor invoicing, Matson Intermodal is
able to reduce transportation costs for customers. Matson Intermodal currently
has 28 offices and manages 30 equipment depots across the United States
Mainland.
Matson Services Company, Inc. ("Matson Services"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson, owns two tugboats, which are employed in
Hawaiian waters under operating agreements with various vessel operators or
their agents to provide harbor assistance to vessels calling at the islands of
Hawaii and Maui.
Matson Logistics Solutions, Inc. ("Matson Logistics"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson, provides supply and distribution services to
Matson customers and others.
(5) COMPETITION
-----------
Matson's Hawaii and Guam Services have one major
containership competitor which serves Long Beach, Oakland, Tacoma, Honolulu and
Guam.
Other competitors in the Hawaii Service include two common
carrier barge services, unregulated proprietary and contract carriers of bulk
cargoes and air cargo services. Although air freight competition is intense
for time-sensitive or perishable cargoes, historic and projected inroads of
such competition in cargo volume are limited by the amount of cargo space
available in passenger aircraft and by generally higher air freight rates.
Competitors in the Pacific Coast Express include other truck, rail and ocean
carrier services.
Matson vessels are operated on schedules which make available
to shippers and consignees regular day-of-the-week sailings from the United
States Pacific Coast and day-of-the-week arrivals in Hawaii. Under its current
schedule, Matson operates 208 Hawaii round-trip voyages per year, 60 percent
more than its closest competitor, and arranges additional voyages when cargo
volumes require additional capacity. This service is attractive to customers
because it decreases their overall distribution costs. In addition, Matson
competes by offering more comprehensive service to customers, supported by its
scope of equipment and its efficiency and experience in the handling of
containerized cargoes, and by competitive pricing.
The carriage of cargo between the United States Pacific Coast
and Hawaii on foreign-built or foreign-documented vessels is prohibited by
Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920, frequently referred to as the
Jones Act. However, foreign-flag vessels carrying cargo to Hawaii from foreign
sources provide indirect competition for Matson's container freight service
between the United States Pacific Coast and Hawaii. Far East countries,
Australia and New Zealand have direct foreign-flag services to Hawaii.
In response to coordinated efforts by various interests to
convince Congress to repeal the Jones Act, Matson joined other businesses and
organizations in 1995 to form the Maritime Cabotage Task Force, which supports
the retention of the Jones Act and other cabotage laws. Repeal of the Jones
Act would allow all foreign-flag vessel operators, which do not have to abide
by U.S. laws and regulations, to sail between American ports in direct
competition with Matson and other U.S. operators which must comply with such
laws and regulations. The Task Force seeks to inform elected officials and the
public about the economic, national security, commercial, safety and
environmental benefits of the Jones Act and similar cabotage laws.
Matson Intermodal competes for freight with a number of large
and small companies engaged in intermodal transportation. Matson Services
competes with several larger operators of tugboats in Hawaiian waters. Matson
Logistics competes with many larger providers of logistics services and with
transportation companies whose services include logistics.
(6) LABOR RELATIONS
---------------
The absence of strikes and the availability of labor through
hiring halls are important to the maintenance of profitable operations by
Matson. Matson's operations have not been disrupted significantly by strikes
in the past 29 years. See "Employees and Labor Relations" below for a
description of labor agreements and certain unfunded liabilities for multi-
employer pension plans to which Matson and Matson Terminals contribute.
(7) RATE REGULATION
---------------
Matson is subject to the jurisdiction of the Surface
Transportation Board with respect to its domestic rates. A rate in the
noncontiguous domestic trade is presumed reasonable and will not be subject to
investigation if the aggregate of increases and decreases is not more than 7.5
percent above, or more than 10 percent below, the rate in effect one year
before the effective date of the proposed rate. Matson filed a 3.9 percent
across-the-board increase in its Hawaii Service shipping rates, which became
effective on February 14, 2000. Also in 2000, substantial increases in bunker
fuel costs required Matson on three occasions to file increases in the fuel
surcharge, which rose from 1.75 percent at the beginning of 2000 to 4.25
percent at the end of 2000. A 3.5 percent across-the-board increase in the
Hawaii Service became effective on February 14, 2001.
B. PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT
-----------------------------------
(1) GENERAL
-------
A&B and its subsidiaries own approximately 91,100 acres of
land, consisting of approximately 90,800 acres in Hawaii and approximately 300

A&B and its subsidiaries are actively involved in the entire
spectrum of land development, including planning, zoning, financing,
constructing, purchasing, managing and leasing, and selling and exchanging real
property.
(2) PLANNING AND ZONING
-------------------
The entitlement process for development of property in Hawaii
is both time-consuming and costly, involving numerous State and County
regulatory approvals. For example, conversion of an agriculturally-zoned
parcel to residential zoning usually requires the following approvals:
- amendment of the County general plan to reflect the desired residential
use;
- approval by the State Land Use Commission to reclassify the parcel from
the "Agricultural" district to the "Urban" district;
- County approval to rezone the property to the precise residential use
desired; and,
- if the parcel is located in the Special Management Area, the granting of
a Special Management Area permit by the County.
The entitlement process is complicated by the conditions, restrictions and
exactions that are placed on these approvals, including, among others, the
construction of infrastructure improvements, payment of impact fees, restric-
tions on the permitted uses of the land, provision of affordable housing,
and/or mandatory fee sale of portions of the project.
A&B actively works with regulatory agencies, commissions and
legislative bodies at various levels of government to obtain zoning
reclassification of land to its highest and best use. A&B designates a parcel
as "fully-entitled" or "fully-zoned" when all necessary government land use
approvals have been obtained.
As described in more detail below, in 2000, work to obtain
entitlements for urban use focused on (i) obtaining Community Plan designations
for various A&B lands on Maui, and (ii) obtaining County entitlements for a
proposed single-family subdivision on Maui. The Community Plans serve to guide
planning and development activity on Maui. A&B has obtained and continues to
seek various urban designations for its undeveloped lands within the four Com-
munity Plans where most of its Maui lands are located.
(3) RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
--------------------
A&B is pursuing a number of residential projects in Hawaii,
including:
(a) KUKUI'ULA. Kukui'Ula is a 1,045-acre master planned
---------
resort residential community located in Poipu, Kauai. Approximately 837 acres
are fully entitled for up to 900 hotel and vacation ownership (timeshare)
units, 3,000 residential units, a golf course, and commercial uses. The
balance of the project is partially entitled and planned for up to 750
residential units. During 2000, A&B, through its subsidiary, Kukui'ula
Development Company, Inc. ("KDC"), engaged in a number of development
activities intended to position the project for resort development and for
securing bulk buyers and joint venture partners.
In December 2000, KDC received tentative approval from the
County of Kauai for the large lot subdivision of the project. Final sub-
division approval, which will enable KDC to convey fee simple title to these
land areas to a joint venture or bulk buyer, is anticipated in the second
quarter of 2001. Also in December, State permits were obtained to implement
the initial phase of beach improvements. The result is a larger and more
attractive beach that will be a crucial amenity to the Kukui'Ula resort
community.
Discussions with potential joint venture partners, as well as
hotel, timeshare and golf course developers, have been held and are ongoing.
Other activities include updating the project's overall water master plan and
identifying short-term and long-term water sources, preparing preliminary
phasing plans and construction cost estimates, analyzing infrastructure
requirements, and addressing various zoning requirements.
Sales of lots at Koloa Estates, Kukui'Ula's initial
residential project, continued in 2000. Koloa Estates features 32 large lots
of at least one-half acre in size, underground utilities and common area
landscaping. Over half the lots have been purchased by U.S. Mainland buyers,
including second home buyers and retirees. As of March 1, 2001, 24 lots have
been sold and 7 lots are in escrow. Plans are under way to obtain necessary
governmental permits for the next residential phase at Kukui'Ula.
(b) THE VINTAGE AT KAANAPALI. In October 1999, the Company
------------------------
acquired 17 acres in the Kaanapali Golf Estates project in Kaanapali, Maui.
This land, which is surrounded by the Kaanapali South Golf Course, is being
developed as 73 detached single-family homes under a condominium regime. Home
construction began in February 2000, and all homes are either completed or
currently under construction. As of March 1, 13 of the 73 units had been sold
and 59 units were in escrow. The average sales price of the homes sold or in
escrow is $590,000. The project is expected to be completed and sold out in
the fourth quarter of 2001.
(c) THE SUMMIT AT KAANAPALI. In January 2000, the Company
-----------------------
acquired an additional 17 acres in the Kaanapali Golf Estates project. This
land is intended to be developed into 55 single-family homes or house lots.
Construction of site improvements commenced in October 2000, with the first
unit closings anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2001. Forty-one non-binding
reservations have been received to date for the 17 homes in Increment I.
Prices for homes in this project are expected to average about $850,000.
(d) KAHULUI IKENA. In 2000, the final seven apartments in
-------------
the 102 unit Kahului Ikena condominium project on Maui were sold. The
development of this central Kahului project began in 1994.
(e) OTHER MAUI SUBDIVISIONS. Progress was made in 2000 on
-----------------------
the development of the 37-lot Maunaolu agricultural subdivision (minimum two-
acre-sized lots), located in Haliimaile. The County of Maui has approved the
construction and subdivision plans for the project, but development continues
to be delayed, due to lack of available water sources for the region in which
the subdivision is located.
In addition, A&B continues to seek entitlements for two
single-family subdivisions on Maui: (i) an approximately 200-unit subdivision
on 67 acres in Haliimaile, and (ii) an approximately 400-unit subdivision on
210 acres in Spreckelsville, which includes the possible expansion of the
nearby nine-hole Maui Country Club golf course into an 18-hole course. In July
2000, the Maui County Council's Zoning Committee held a public hearing on the
zoning application for the Haliimaile project, which the Maui County Planning
Commission had recommended for approval in 1999. Although general approval was
expressed for the project, issues relating to water availability and traffic
need to be addressed. A final decision by the Maui County Council is
anticipated in 2001. Also in 2000, "residential" designation for the
Spreckelsville project was sought from the Maui County Council as part of its
ten-year update of the Wailuku-Kahului Community Plan. However, community
opposition has arisen over traffic and other project impact concerns. Final
action by the Maui County Council on this project also is anticipated in 2001.
(4) COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
------------------------------------
An important source of property revenue is the lease rental
income A&B and its subsidiaries receive from nearly 5.2 million leasable square
feet of industrial and commercial building space, ground leases on 271 acres
for commercial/industrial use, and leases on 11,776 acres for agricultural/
pasture use.
(a) HAWAII COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
---------------------------------------
In Hawaii, most of the approximately 1.3 million square feet
of income-producing commercial and industrial properties owned by A&B and its
subsidiaries are located in the central Kahului/Wailuku area of Maui and in
central Oahu. They consist primarily of two shopping centers and eight office
buildings, as well as several improved commercial and industrial properties.
The average occupancy for A&B's Hawaii improved commercial properties increased
to 86% in 2000, from 81% in 1999. The improvement was due primarily to
increased tenancies in the Company's Maui properties.
In June 2000, the Judd Building, a five-story office building
located in downtown Honolulu, was acquired through a tax-deferred exchange
under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended ("IRC"). The Judd
Building contains 20,200 square feet of space and is currently 78% occupied.
The Pacific Guardian Tower, an eighteen-story office
building, containing 124,000 square feet of leasable area, was acquired in
February 2001, as part of an IRC Section 1031 exchange. Acquired with the
Pacific Guardian Tower was an adjacent 13,000-square-foot commercial building.
These properties, situated immediately across the Ala Moana Shopping Center in
Honolulu, were 98% occupied at the time of acquisition.
The primary Hawaii commercial/industrial properties are as
follows:
LEASABLE AREA

In addition to the above-described properties, a number of
other commercial and industrial projects are being developed on Maui, Oahu and
Kauai, including:
(i) TRIANGLE SQUARE. Development and marketing
---------------
efforts are continuing for this 10.6-acre, light industrial zoned, commercial
subdivision in Kahului, Maui. The 28,000-square-foot Apex Building is 100%
occupied by retail users. Construction commenced in October 2000 on a 15,000-
square-foot, multi-tenant commercial center and a 6,200-square-foot automobile
dealership. Both buildings are projected to be completed in the third quarter
of 2001. A lease was secured in August 2000 with a national restaurant chain
for 4,500 square feet in the commercial center, with negotiations under way
with prospective tenants for the remaining space. Four lots remain available
for ground leases and commercial development.
(ii) PORT ALLEN. A long-term master plan for the
----------
development of 80 acres in Port Allen, Kauai was completed in August 1999.
Permitting and marketing efforts began in May 2000 for the first three projects
to be developed under this plan. County zoning and special management area
permits were secured in the second half of 2000 to build a proposed 32,000-
square-foot multi-tenant commercial center on 1.7 acres, a 29,700-square-foot
warehouse complex on 2.5 acres, and a 10,500-square-foot restaurant/retail
facility on 1.9 acres. Construction of the first of these projects is expected
to begin in mid-2001.
(iii) MAUI BUSINESS PARK. The Maui Business Park
------------------
development consists of a planned total of approximately 250 acres, and is
expected to be developed in four phases over a 20-year horizon. The initial
phase (Phase I) of Maui Business Park was developed in two subphases: Phase
IA, completed in 1995, consists of 37.4 saleable acres, and Phase IB,
substantially completed in November 2000, consists of 32.0 saleable acres.
The Maui Marketplace retail center, owned by a third
party, occupies 20.3 acres of Phase IA and includes such anchor tenants as
Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse, Office Max, Sports Authority, Old Navy and
Border's Books and Music. The remaining area consists of 30 lots with an
average size of 22,900 square feet, of which 15 lots (8.3 saleable acres)
remain available for sale or lease.
In August 2000, Home Depot purchased 12.8 acres in
Phase IB and began construction of a 135,000-square-foot store, which is
scheduled to open in May 2001. In February 2001, Wal-Mart purchased 14.0 acres
and began construction of a 149,000-square-foot store, which is scheduled to
open by the end of 2001. The remaining 5.2 saleable acres were subdivided in
June 2000 into ten lots with an average size of 22,800 square feet, and are
being marketed for sale or lease.
(iv) MILL TOWN CENTER. The Mill Town Center, located
----------------
in Waipahu, Oahu, near Honolulu, is a light-industrial subdivision consisting
of 27.5 saleable acres. The project is being developed in two phases: Phase
IA (10.2 saleable acres) consists of 23 lots with an average size of 19,200
square feet, and Phase IB (17.3 saleable acres) is planned to consist of 40
lots with an average size of 18,800 square feet.
Construction of infrastructure improvements for Phase
IA was completed in June 1999. In 2000, 4 lots were sold to commercial and
industrial businesses. Twelve lots (4.4 saleable acres) remain available for
sale or lease. Construction of infrastructure improvements for Phase IB is
scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2001 and is expected to be
completed by the end of 2001. The Phase IB lots may be consolidated to accom-
modate larger users. Sales activity is expected to start in mid-2001.
(v) KAHULUI AIRPORT HOTEL. Entitlement applications
---------------------
were filed in January 2001 for a proposed 140-room hotel near the Kahului
Airport on Maui. The hotel is expected to service primarily business travelers
and local residents, and a management agreement has been signed with Marriott
International for the operation of the hotel under the Courtyard by Marriott
brand. The project requires Community Plan, zoning and special management area
approvals from the County of Maui before development can proceed.
(vi) FAIRWAY SHOPS AT KAANAPALI. Construction began
--------------------------
in December 2000 on a 35,000-square-foot retail center in Kaanapali, Maui,
along Kaanapali's main corridor, Honoapiilani Highway. The center is located
on a 3.2-acre leasehold parcel acquired by A&B in August 2000, and is expected
to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2001.
(b) U.S. MAINLAND COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
----------------------------------------------
On the U.S. Mainland, A&B and its subsidiaries own a
portfolio of commercial and industrial properties, acquired primarily by way of
tax-deferred exchanges under Section 1031 of the IRC, comprising a total of
approximately 3.9 million square feet of leasable area, as follows:

In August 2000, A&B acquired the Ontario Distribution Center
warehouse facility located in Ontario, CA, as part of an IRC Section 1031
exchange. This three-building warehouse complex is fully leased to five
tenants. In January 2001, A&B sold its Bainbridge Property portfolio located
on Bainbridge Island, WA, comprised of two retail properties and one office
property, having a total leasable area of 114,600 square feet.
Major leases signed in 2000 included a lease for 480,000
square feet in the Ontario Distribution Center, four leases having a total area
of 73,900 square feet at the 2868 Prospect Park office building, three leases
having a total area of 86,300 square feet in the Great Southwest Industrial
portfolio, and a lease for a 45,000-square-foot space at Mesa South Center
shopping center.
A&B's Mainland commercial properties continued their strong
performance in 2000, achieving an average occupancy rate of 96%, as compared to
the 1999 average of 94%. The increase resulted from the leasing of several
large warehouse spaces in Dallas, TX, strong office leasing in the Sacramento,
CA properties, and the addition of new properties with high occupancy rates.
C. FOOD PRODUCTS
-------------
(1) PRODUCTION
----------
A&B has been engaged in activities relating to the production
of cane sugar and molasses in Hawaii since 1870, and production of coffee in
Hawaii since 1987. A&B's current food products operations consist of a sugar
plantation on the island of Maui, operated by its Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar
Company ("HC&S") division, and a coffee farm on the island of Kauai, operated
by its Kauai Coffee Company, Inc. ("Kauai Coffee") subsidiary.
HC&S is Hawaii's largest producer of raw sugar, producing
210,269 tons of raw sugar in 2000, or 70% of the raw sugar produced in Hawaii,
compared with 227,832 tons of raw sugar in 1999. Total Hawaii sugar
production, in turn, amounted to approximately four percent of total United
States sugar production. HC&S harvested 17,266 acres of sugar cane in 2000,
compared with 17,278 acres in 1999. Yields averaged 12.2 tons of sugar per
acre in 2000, compared with 13.2 tons per acre in 1999. The decrease reflects
the negative impact of a two-year drought on Maui. The average cost per ton of
sugar produced at HC&S was $331 in 2000, compared with $360 in 1999. The
decrease in cost per ton is primarily attributable to lower operating costs.
As a by-product of sugar production, HC&S also produced 70,551 tons of molasses
in 2000, compared with 92,246 tons in 1999. The decrease in molasses
production is attributable to improved sugar recovery. In response to the
drought-reduced yields and historically-low raw sugar prices, in September
2000, HC&S closed one of its two sugar mills and consolidated all processing
at the remaining mill. Neither the number of acres in sugar cane nor the total
sugar production is expected to be affected by such action.
In 2000, 5,626 tons of HC&S's raw sugar were produced as
specialty food-grade raw sugars and sold under HC&S's "Maui Brand" trademark.
A $2.4 million expansion of the production facilities for these sugars was
completed in February 2001.
During 2000, Kauai Coffee had approximately 3,400 acres of
coffee trees under cultivation. The harvest of the 2000 coffee crop yielded
approximately 2.8 million pounds of green coffee, compared with 4.6 million
pounds in 1999. Although the size of the 2000 harvest was unusually low, due
to, among other reasons, lack of rainfall and the cyclicality of coffee yields,
the quality of the mix was the best since Kauai Coffee's inception, with two-
thirds of the coffee beans in specialty grades.
In October 2000, work was completed on a $10 million
facility, located near HC&S's sugar mill, that is expected to produce
approximately 15 million square feet a year of a premium composite panel
board. The panel board will be produced from bagasse (sugar cane fiber),
and will be a strong, light, moisture-resistant and environmentally-friendly
substitute for conventional particle board and medium density fiberboard in a
variety of applications. The plant, which is operated by Hawaiian DuraGreen,
Inc., a subsidiary of A&B, started test production in December 2000, and
shipment of test product commenced in February 2001.
HC&S and McBryde Sugar Company, Limited ("McBryde"), the
parent company of Kauai Coffee, produce electricity for internal use and for
sale to the local electric utility companies. HC&S's power is produced by
burning bagasse, by hydroelectric power generation and, when necessary, by
burning fossil fuels, whereas McBryde produces power solely by hydroelectric
generation. The price for the power sold by HC&S and McBryde is equal to the
utility companies' "avoided cost" of not producing such power themselves. In
addition, HC&S receives a capacity payment to provide a guaranteed power
generation capacity to the local utility. (See "Energy" below.)
Kahului Trucking & Storage, Inc., a subsidiary of A&B,
provides sugar and molasses hauling and storage, petroleum hauling, mobile
equipment maintenance and repair services, and self-service storage facilities
on Maui. Kauai Commercial Company, Incorporated, another subsidiary of A&B,
provides similar services on Kauai, as well as general trucking services.
(2) MARKETING OF SUGAR AND COFFEE
-----------------------------
Substantially all of the raw sugar produced in Hawaii is
purchased, refined and marketed by C&H Sugar Company, Inc. ("C&H"), of which
A&B owns a 36 percent common stock interest. The results of A&B's equity
investment in C&H are reported in A&B's financial statements as an investment
in an affiliate. C&H processes the raw cane sugar at its refinery at Crockett,
California, and markets the refined products primarily in the western and
central United States. HC&S markets its specialty food-grade raw sugars to
food and beverage producers and to retail stores under its "Maui Brand" label,
and to distributors which repackage the sugars under their own labels. HC&S's
largest food-grade raw sugar customers are Cumberland Packing Corp. and Sugar
Foods Corporation, which repackage HC&S's turbinado sugar for their "Sugar in
the Raw" products.
Hawaiian Sugar & Transportation Cooperative ("HS&TC"), a
cooperative consisting of the two remaining sugar cane growers in Hawaii
(including HC&S), has a ten-year supply contract with C&H, ending in June 2003,
pursuant to which the growers sell their raw sugar to C&H at a price equal to
the New York #14 Contract settlement price, less a discount and less costs of
sugar vessel discharge and stevedoring. This price, after deducting the mar-
keting, operating, distribution, transportation and interest costs of HS&TC,
reflects the gross revenue to the Hawaii sugar growers, including HC&S.
Notwithstanding the ten-year supply contract, HC&S has arranged directly with
C&H for the forward pricing of a substantial portion of its 2001 harvest, as
described in Item 7A ("Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk"), on pages 25-26 below.
At Kauai Coffee, coffee marketing efforts continue to be
directed toward developing a market for premium-priced, estate-grown Kauai
green coffee. Most of the 2000 coffee crop is being marketed on the U.S.
Mainland and in Asia as green (unroasted) coffee. In addition to the sale of
green coffee, Kauai Coffee produces and sells a roasted, packaged coffee
product in Hawaii under the "Kauai Coffee" trademark.
(3) COMPETITION AND SUGAR LEGISLATION
---------------------------------
Hawaii sugar growers produce more sugar per acre than other
major producing areas of the world, but that advantage is partially offset by
Hawaii's high labor costs and the distance to the U.S. Mainland market.
Hawaiian refined sugar is marketed primarily west of Chicago. This is also the
largest beet sugar growing and processing area and, as a result, the only
market area in the United States which produces more sugar than it consumes.
Sugar from sugar beets is the greatest source of competition in the refined
sugar market for the Hawaiian sugar industry.
The overall U.S. caloric sweetener market continues to grow.
The use of non-caloric (artificial) sweeteners accounts for a relatively small
percentage of the domestic sweetener market. The anticipated increased use of
high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners is not expected to affect
sugar markets significantly in the near future.
The U.S. Congress historically has sought, through
legislation, to assure a reliable domestic supply of sugar at stable and
reasonable prices. Congress's most recent renewal of protective legislation
for domestic sugar, the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act (the
"1996 Act"), provides a sugar loan program for the 1996 through 2002 crops,
with a loan rate (support price) of 18 cents per pound for raw sugar. The
loan rate represents the value of sugar given as collateral for government
price-support loans. The government is required to administer the sugar
program at no net cost, and this is accomplished by adjusting fees and quotas
for imported sugar to maintain the domestic price at a level that discourages
producers from defaulting on loans. The ten-year supply contract between HS&TC
and C&H limits HC&S's ability to place sugar under loan pursuant to the sugar
loan program. The 1996 Act also eliminated marketing allotments, thereby
removing the means of limiting domestic production. The 1.25-million-ton
minimum import quota set under the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade
("GATT") is retained in the 1996 Act.
Beginning in mid-1999, U.S. domestic raw sugar prices fell
to 20-year lows, dropping below 17 cents per pound in 2000, due to excess
supplies of raw cane sugar as well as excess refined products made from cane
and beet sugar. In contrast, U.S. domestic raw sugar prices (measured by the
closing price of the quoted spot contract) averaged 22.31 cents per pound
during the period from January 1994 through July 1999. Although prices
improved in late 2000, to over 20 cents per pound, primarily due to loan
forfeitures and government action to lower sugar supplies, at present, it
remains unclear how more favorable long-term price levels can be restored.
The situation continues to be harmful, even to efficient producers like
HC&S. A chronological chart of the average U.S. domestic raw sugar prices,
based on the average daily New York Contract #14 settlement price for domestic
raw sugar, is shown below:
[The printed document includes a graph of the prices; the data points for this
graph are shown below.]

Liberalized international trade agreements, such as the GATT,
include provisions relating to agriculture which can affect the U.S. sugar or
sweetener industries materially. A "side" agreement that modified the North
American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") alleviated some of the sugar producers'
concerns by limiting Mexico's exports of sugar to the U.S. under NAFTA.
However, the export ceiling provided for in the side agreement increased to
250,000 tons of sugar in the year 2000, and will be eliminated in the year
2007. The increased sugar supply could affect domestic sugar prices adversely.
Kauai Coffee competes with coffee growers located worldwide,
including Hawaii. Due to an oversupply of coffee in the marketplace, coffee
commodity prices dropped significantly in 1999 and continued to drop in 2000.
(4) PROPERTIES AND WATER
--------------------
The HC&S sugar plantation, the largest in Hawaii, consists of
approximately 43,300 acres of land, including 2,000 acres leased from the State
of Hawaii and 1,300 acres under lease from private parties. Approximately
37,000 acres are under cultivation, and the balance either is used for
contributory purposes, such as roads and plant sites, or is not suitable for
cultivation.
McBryde owns approximately 9,500 acres of land on Kauai, of
which approximately 2,400 acres are used for watershed and other conservation
uses, approximately 3,900 acres are used by Kauai Coffee, and the remaining
acreage is leased to various agricultural enterprises for cultivation of a
variety of crops and for pasturage.
Large quantities of water are needed by HC&S and Kauai Coffee
for their sugar cane and coffee growing operations. Because of the importance
of water, access to water, reliable sources of supply and efficient irrigation
systems are crucial for the successful growing of sugar cane and coffee. A&B's
plantations use a "drip" irrigation system that distributes water to the roots
through small holes in plastic tubes. All of the cultivated cane land owned by
HC&S is drip irrigated. All of Kauai Coffee's fields also are drip irrigated.
A&B owns 16,000 acres of watershed lands on Maui which supply
a portion of the irrigation water used by HC&S. A&B also held four water
licenses to 38,000 acres owned by the State of Hawaii, which over the years
supplied approximately one-third of the irrigation water used by HC&S. The
last of these water license agreements expired in 1986, and all four agreements
have been extended as revocable permits that are renewable annually. The State
Board of Land and Natural Resources has indicated its intention to replace
these four permits with one or more long-term licenses. The issuance of such
license(s) currently is pending a hearing before the Board.
D. EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS
-----------------------------
As of December 31, 2000, A&B and its subsidiaries had approximately
2,029 regular full-time employees. About 923 regular full-time employees were
engaged in the growing of sugar cane and coffee and the production of raw sugar
and green coffee, 870 were engaged in ocean transportation, 38 were engaged in
property development and management, and the balance was in administration and
miscellaneous operations. Approximately 55% were covered by collective
bargaining agreements with unions.
As of December 31, 2000, Matson and its subsidiaries also had
approximately 315 seagoing employees. Approximately 27% of Matson's regular
full-time employees and all of the seagoing employees were covered by
collective bargaining agreements.
Matson's seagoing employees are represented by six unions. Matson
and Matson Terminals shoreside bargaining unit employees are represented by
four locals of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union ("ILWU") and by
three unions which also represent the seagoing employees. Matson Terminals is
a member of the Hawaii Stevedoring Industry Committee and the Hawaii Employers
Council, organizations through which two Hawaii collective bargaining
agreements are negotiated.
Historically, collective bargaining with the longshore and seagoing
unions has been complex and difficult. However, Matson and Matson Terminals
consider their respective relations with the ILWU, other unions, and their
non-union employees generally to be satisfactory.
During 2000, collective bargaining agreements were renewed with two
unions representing licensed crew members for five-year terms, and with one
union representing licensed crew members for a three-year term.
Matson contributed during 2000 to multi-employer pension plans for
vessel crews. If Matson were to withdraw from or significantly reduce its
obligation to contribute to one of the plans, Matson would review and evaluate
data, actuarial assumptions, calculations and other factors used in determining
its withdrawal liability, if any, and, in the event of material disagreement
with such determination, would pursue the various means available to it under
federal law for the adjustment or removal of its withdrawal liability. Matson
Terminals participates in a multi-employer pension plan for its Hawaii
longshore employees. For a discussion of withdrawal liabilities under the
Hawaii longshore and seagoing plans, see Note 8 to A&B's financial statements
on pages 45 and 46 of the 2000 Annual Report, which Note is incorporated herein
by reference.
Bargaining unit employees of HC&S are covered by two collective
bargaining agreements with the ILWU. The agreements with the HC&S production
unit employees and clerical bargaining unit employees were renegotiated in 2000
and will expire January 31, 2002. A collective bargaining agreement with the
ILWU for production employees of Hawaiian DuraGreen, Inc. was negotiated in
2000 and expires September 15, 2003. The collective bargaining agreements
covering two of the three ILWU bargaining units at Kahului Trucking & Storage,
Inc. will expire June 30, 2002; the third will expire March 31, 2001 and is
currently being renegotiated. The two collective bargaining agreements with
Kauai Commercial Company, Incorporated employees represented by the ILWU will
expire April 30, 2001, and negotiations to renew the contracts are expected to
begin soon. The collective bargaining agreement with the ILWU for the
production unit employees of Kauai Coffee was renegotiated in 2001 and will
expire on January 31, 2004.
E. ENERGY
------
Matson and Matson Terminals purchase residual fuel oil, lubricants,
gasoline and diesel fuel for their operations. Residual fuel oil is by far
Matson's largest energy-related expense. In 2000, Matson vessels consumed
approximately 1.8 million barrels of residual fuel oil, the same as in 1999.
Residual fuel oil prices paid by Matson started 2000 at $147.75 per
metric ton and ended the year at $123.78 per metric ton. A high of $199.50 per
metric ton occurred in March, and a low of $123.78 per metric ton occurred in
December. Sufficient fuel for Matson's requirements is expected to be
available in 2001.
As has been the practice with sugar plantations throughout Hawaii,
HC&S uses bagasse, the residual fiber of the sugar cane plant, as a fuel to
generate steam for the production of most of the electrical power for sugar
milling and irrigation pumping operations. In addition to bagasse, HC&S uses
No. 6 (heavy) oil and coal to produce power, principally for pumping irrigation
water during the factory shutdown period when bagasse is not being produced.
Since 1992, when suppliers of No. 6 oil to HC&S discontinued regular shipments
as a result of unlimited liability concerns arising from federal and state
environmental laws, heavy oil has been provided to HC&S on a space-available
basis. In 2000, HC&S produced 217,279 MWH of electric power and sold
67,105 MWH, compared with 222,115 MWH produced and 70,210 MWH sold in 1999.
The reduction in power sold was caused by HC&S's increased need to pump
irrigation water, due to drought conditions during most of 2000. HC&S's oil
use decreased to 100,313 barrels in 2000, from the 185,250 barrels used in
1999. Coal use for power generation increased, from 24,216 short tons in 1999
to 61,222 short tons in 2000. The increase in the usage of coal over fuel oil
was primarily the result of higher fuel oil prices, as well as lower bagasse
production, attributed to the negative impact of the prolonged drought.
In 2000, McBryde produced 31,971 MWH of hydroelectric power,
compared with 35,861 MWH of hydroelectric power produced in 1999. Power sales
in 2000 amounted to 23,375 MWH, compared with 24,555 MWH sold in 1999. The
reduction in power production and sales was due to less rainfall in 2000.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
See "Business and Properties - Ocean Transportation - Rate Regulation"
above for a discussion of rate and other regulatory matters in which Matson is
routinely involved.
On September 14, 1998, Matson was served with a complaint filed by the
Government of Guam with the Surface Transportation Board, alleging that
Sea-Land Services, Inc. ("Sea-Land"), American President Lines, Ltd. ("APL")
and Matson charged unreasonable rates in the Guam trade since January 1991.
Matson did not enter the trade until February 1996. On November 12, 1998,
Matson filed an answer, denying that its rates have been unreasonable. Matson,
Sea-Land and APL filed a joint motion to dismiss the complaint on February 16,
1999. The Government of Guam filed an answer to the motion on April 1, 1999.
On April 15, 1999, Matson, Sea-Land and APL filed a reply brief. The
Government of Guam filed a surreply on April 22, 1999. To date, the Surface
Transportation Board has not ruled on the motion.
On January 11, 2001, Matson concluded a settlement with U.S. Attorneys
for the Central District of California, the Northern District of California,
and the Western District of Washington, which arose out of an investigation
commenced in 1999 by the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California.
Matson entered into a plea agreement that resolves for Matson findings that
between August 1996 and April 1998 certain crew members on a Matson ship
falsely stated in an engine room log book that oil-water separating equipment
was in operation while bilge water was being discharged overboard and presented
the log book containing false entries to the U.S. Coast Guard on six separate
occasions during inspections. Pursuant to the plea agreement, Matson paid
fines totaling $3 million. The settlement, which is reflected in A&B's
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000,
did not have a material effect on earnings.
A&B and its subsidiaries are parties to, or may be contingently liable in
connection with, other legal actions arising in the normal conduct of their
businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consulta-
tion with counsel, would not have a material adverse effect on A&B's results of
operations or financial position.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This information is contained in the sections captioned "Common Stock"
and "Dividends" on the inside back cover of the 2000 Annual Report, which
sections are incorporated herein by reference.
At February 15, 2001, there were 4,393 record holders of A&B common
stock. In addition, Cede & Co., which appears as a single record holder,
represents the holdings of thousands of beneficial owners of A&B common stock.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
- --------------------------------
Information for the years 1996 through 2000 is contained in the
comparative table captioned "Five-Year Summary of Selected Financial Data" on
page 27 of the 2000 Annual Report, which information is incorporated herein by
reference.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
A&B's financial statements, including the results of operations discussed
herein, are based on the historical-cost method of accounting, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. If estimated current costs of
property and inventory were applied to reflect the effects of inflation on
A&B's businesses, total assets would be higher and net income lower than shown
by the historical-cost financial statements. Additional information regarding
the fair values of A&B's assets and liabilities is included in Notes 1, 3, 4,
and 5 on pages 37 through 43 of the 2000 Annual Report, which Notes are
incorporated herein by reference.
Additional information applicable to this Item 7 is contained in the
section captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis" on pages 28 through 31
of the 2000 Annual Report, which section is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
A&B, in the normal course of doing business, is exposed to the risks
associated with fluctuations in the market value of certain financial
instruments. A&B maintains a portfolio of marketable equity securities
available for sale, preferred stock investments in an affiliated company, and
an investment in mortgage-backed securities. Details regarding these financial
instruments are described in Notes 4 and 5 on pages 41 through 43 of the 2000
Annual Report, which Notes are incorporated herein by reference. A&B believes
that, as of December 31, 2000, its exposure to market risk fluctuations for
these financial instruments is not material.
A&B also is exposed to changes in U.S. interest rates, primarily as a
result of its borrowing and investing activities used to maintain liquidity and
to fund business operations. In order to manage its exposure to changes in
interest rates, A&B utilizes a balanced mix of debt maturities, along with both
fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. A&B does not hedge its interest rate
exposure. The nature and amount of A&B's long-term and short-term debt can be
expected to fluctuate as a result of future business requirements, market
conditions and other factors. The following tables summarize A&B's debt
obligations at December 31, 2000 and 1999, presenting principal cash flows and
related interest rates by expected fiscal year of maturity. Variable interest
rates represent the weighted-average rates of the portfolio at December 31,
2000 and 1999. A&B estimates that the carrying value of its debt is not
materially different from its fair value. The information presented below
should be read in conjunction with Note 6 on pages 43 and 44 of the 2000 Annual
Report, which Note is incorporated herein by reference.

A&B's sugar plantation, HC&S, has a contract to sell its raw sugar
production to HS&TC until 2003. Under that contract, the price paid will
fluctuate with the New York Contract #14 settlement price for domestic raw
sugar, less a fixed discount. For 2001, however, the price for a substantial
portion of the raw sugar deliveries has been set at approximately $21 per
hundredweight (cwt). A&B is not exposed to foreign currency exchange rate
risk.

Variable Rate Loans: The Company has a revolving credit and term loan
agreement with four commercial banks, whereby it may borrow up to
$140,000,000 under revolving loans to November 30, 2001, at varying rates of
interest. Any revolving loan outstanding on that date may be converted into
a term loan, which would be payable in 12 equal quarterly installments. The

which requires the maintenance of an interest coverage ratio of 2:1. At
December 31, 2000 $113,500,000 was outstanding under this agreement.
The Company has an uncommitted $70,000,000 short-term revolving credit

$45,000,000 during 2000. The agreement extends to November 30, 2001, but may
be canceled by the bank or the Company at any time. The amount which the
Company may draw under the facility is reduced by the amount drawn against the
bank under the previously referenced $140,000,000 multi-bank facility, in which
it is a participant, and by letters of credit issued under the $70,000,000
uncommitted facility. At December 31, 2000, $7,500,000 was outstanding under

(e) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company and certain subsidiaries are parties to various legal actions and
are contingently liable in connection with claims and contracts arising in the
normal course of business, the outcome of which, in the opinion of management

settling certain valuation issues relating to the Company's tax returns for

liabilities.
