FINANCIAL NOTES
(Unaudited)

(a)  The condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, the condensed
     statements of income for the three months and nine months ended September
     30, 1996 and 1995, and the condensed statements of cash flows for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited.  Because of the
     nature of the Company's operations, the results for interim periods are
     not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year, but in
     the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for the fair
     presentation of interim period results have been included in the interim
     financial statements.

(b)  Estimated effective annual income tax rates differ from statutory rates,
     primarily due to the dividends-received deductions and various tax
     credits.

(c)  Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year
     presentation.

(d)  In June 1995, the Company announced the closure of sugar production at its
     McBryde Sugar Company, Limited subsidiary on Kauai.  Closure costs of $8.1
     million were recognized in June 1995 and are included with "Costs of goods
     sold, services and rentals."

(e)  Interest expense of Matson Leasing Company, Inc. had been classified as an
     operating expense prior to the sale of the business.  Following the sale,
     the long-term debt reverted to Matson Navigation Company, Inc. and
     interest on the debt, from July 1, 1995, has been classified as interest
     expense.

(f)  In June 1995, the Company sold the net assets of its container leasing
     subsidiary, Matson Leasing Company, Inc., for approximately $361.7 million
     in cash, and recognized an after-tax gain of $17.2 million.  Specifically
     excluded from the sale were long-term debt and U.S. tax obligations of the
     business.  Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for 1995
     report separately the operating results and cash flows of the container
     leasing segment as a discontinued operation.




ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
- ---------------------------------------------

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------


OPERATING RESULTS

      Net income for the third quarter of 1996 was $23,125,000, or $0.51 per
share.  Net income for the comparable period of 1995 was $10,345,000, or $0.23
per share.  Revenue for the third quarter of 1996 was $333,829,000, compared
with revenue of $246,286,000 in the third quarter of 1995.

      Net income for the first nine months of 1996 was $48,086,000, or $1.06
per share, versus $42,381,000, or $0.93 per share, in 1995.  Results for the
first nine months of 1995 included $17,206,000, or $0.38 per share, from the
sale of Matson Leasing Company, Inc. (Matson Leasing) and $5,336,000, or $0.11
per share, from its operations.  Revenue for the first nine months of 1996 was
$900,797,000, compared with revenue from continuing operations of $762,275,000
a year earlier.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

     The Company's principal liquid resources, which are comprised of cash and
cash equivalents, trade receivables, sugar inventories and unused lines of
credit, less accrued deposits to the Capital Construction Fund, totaled $490.9
million at September 30, 1996, an increase of $87.6 million from December 31,
1995.  The increase was due primarily to increases in amounts available under
lines of credit, trade receivables, and sugar inventories, partially offset by
lower cash balances.  Amounts available under lines of credit increased $59
million, primarily due to a new $50 million shelf facility, of which $15
million has been drawn.  Accounts receivable increased $26.7 million, primarily
due to the initiation of Matson's new Guam/Alliance service and increased
revenue at the Company's California and Hawaiian Sugar Company, Inc. (C&H)
refinery.  Sugar inventories increased $11.8 million, primarily due to an
increase in refined sugar tonnage carried in inventory at C&H.  The $9.9
million decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily the result of first
quarter capital expenditures and payments of long-term debt.

     Working capital was $109.8 million at September 30, 1996, compared with
$84.4 million at the end of 1995.  Inventories were $18.2 million higher than
at 1995 year end, primarily due to an increase in raw sugar tonnage carried in
inventory.  Accounts and notes receivable were $26.7 million higher than at
year-end 1995, due to Matson's Guam/Alliance service and C&H's increased sales
volume.  Partially offsetting these current asset increases was an increase of
$19.1 million in accounts payable.  The increase in accounts payable was
primarily due to Matson's Guam/Alliance service and C&H's increased raw sugar
tonnage.

RESULTS OF SEGMENT OPERATIONS -
THIRD QUARTER 1996 COMPARED WITH THE THIRD QUARTER 1995

OCEAN TRANSPORTATION revenue of $168.7 million for the third quarter of 1996
was 12 percent higher than the 1995 third quarter revenue.  Operating profit,
however, of $20.6 million was 22 percent lower than in the third quarter of
1995.  Various factors contributed to the decline in operating profit during
the period.  Interest income was lower because last year Matson had higher cash
balances arising from the sale of Matson Leasing's net assets in June 1995.
During the third quarter of 1996, operational problems associated with the
integration of Matson's new Guam/Alliance service, its Pacific Coast service
and the Hawaii service raised costs at its marine terminals.  Higher longshore
wages, overhead costs and average fuel prices, combined with operational
disruptions related to the negotiation and ratification of a new West Coast
longshore labor contract, also reduced margins during the quarter.  Total
third-quarter 1996 Hawaii container volume was virtually the same as that of
the 1995 third quarter.  Total Hawaii automobile volume declined 25 percent,
however.  That decrease was due primarily to fewer cars shipped for rental-
company fleets and some competitive losses of autos moving from Hawaii to the
U.S. mainland.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - LEASING revenue of $8.9 million for the
third quarter of 1996 was two-percent higher than the third quarter 1995
revenue, and operating profit of $6 million was virtually the same as in the
comparable period of 1995.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - SALES revenue was $15.3 million, compared
with $2.4 million in sales for the third quarter of 1995.  Operating profit
from property sales this quarter was $8.7 million, versus $0.3 million a year
earlier.  Sales in the third quarter of 1996 included a seven-acre parcel in
Kahului, Maui with a Kmart store ground lease, as well as an improved business
lot and a total of 25 residential properties.  Sales in the third quarter of
1995 consisted of 15 residential properties.

     The mix of property sales in any quarter can be diverse.  These sales can
include property sold under threat of condemnation, developed residential real
estate, commercial properties, developable subdivision lots and undeveloped
land.  The sales of undeveloped land and subdivision lots generally provide
greater contribution margins than do the sales of developed and commercial
property, due to the low historical-cost basis of the Company's Hawaii land.
Consequently, property sales revenue trends and the amount of real estate
available for sale are not necessarily indicators of future profitability for
this segment.

FOOD PRODUCTS revenue of $139.5 million for the third quarter of 1996 was
66 percent higher than the revenue reported for the comparable period of 1995.
The third quarter operating profit of $11.8 million represented a significant
improvement from the $4.4 million operating loss recorded during the third
quarter of 1995.  The increase in revenue was due primarily to the impact of
the 1995 refinery workers' strike, which resulted in lower 1995 third quarter
sales volumes.  In addition, a smaller domestic sugar beet crop has increased
market opportunities this year for cane sugar refiners.  Adding to the improved
results were lower costs resulting from the December 1995 restructuring of the
sugar refinery operations.

RESULTS OF SEGMENT OPERATIONS -
FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1996 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1995

OCEAN TRANSPORTATION revenue of $494.1 million, for the first nine months of
1996, rose 11 percent and operating profit of $64.9 million rose about one
percent, primarily due to the start-up of the Guam/Alliance service.  Operating
profit remained relatively flat, primarily due to the same factors as cited for
the third quarter.  For the first nine months, Matson's total Hawaii container
volume was down four percent and its total automobile volume was down 26
percent.  The decline in container volume reflects continued weaknesses in
certain sectors of Hawaii's economy and the start of an eastbound service by a
competitor in the second half of 1995.  The decrease in automobile volume was
primarily due to fewer cars shipped for rental-company fleets, fewer transfers
of military personnel and some competitive losses of autos moving from Hawaii
to the U.S. mainland.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - LEASING revenue of $26.9 million, for the
first nine months of 1996, was six-percent greater than the results in the
comparable 1995 period.  Operating profit of $18.2 million was six-percent
higher than in the first nine months of 1995.  These increases were due
primarily to the contributions of properties added to the leased property
portfolio in the second half of 1995.  The leased-property portfolio benefited
from continuing high occupancy levels for Mainland properties, where year-to-
date occupancy rates averaged 97 percent, the same high level as in 1995.
Occupancy levels for Hawaii properties averaged 87 percent, versus 90 percent
last year.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - SALES revenue of $22.6 million, for the
first nine months of 1996, compared with $9.4 million in the comparable period
of 1995.  Operating profit from property sales in the first nine months was
$11.9 million, versus $3.5 million in the same period in 1995.  Nine-month
sales in 1996 included the seven-acre Maui parcel, a developed business pro-
perty, two improved business lots and 44 residential properties.  Sales in the
comparable period of 1995 included several developed business lots, an
unimproved parcel and 29 residential properties.

FOOD PRODUCTS revenue of $354.5 million for the first nine months of 1996 was
26 percent higher than the revenue reported for the comparable period of 1995.
Operating profit of $13.7 million for the first nine months of 1996 represented
a significant improvement from the $19.6 million operating loss recorded during
the comparable period of 1995.  That figure, however, included the $8.1 million
pre-tax charge for phasing out sugar operations at the Company's plantation on
Kauai.  The improvement in nine-month performance resulted from stronger sales
volume, improved product prices, the refinery strike in the 1995 period and
restructuring cost savings.

OTHER MATTERS

INTEREST EXPENSE:  Reported interest expense, before capitalized interest, for
the first nine months of 1996, was $26.1 million, compared to $27.5 million for
the first nine months of 1995.

     A significant amount of debt was retired, using the proceeds received from
the sale of Matson Leasing's net assets.  For the first nine months of 1995,
approximately $7 million of interest was included as an operating expense of
the container leasing business.  This 1995 amount is included, net of taxes, as
part of income from discontinued operations in the current financial
presentation.  Consequently, the total interest expense of the Company actually
declined by approximately 24 percent for the first nine months of 1996,
compared with the first nine months of 1995.  Average borrowing rates were
approximately 6.6 percent for the first nine months of 1996, compared with 6.9
percent for the first nine months of 1995.

TAX-DEFERRED EXCHANGES:  In September and June 1996, the Company sold parcels
of land on Maui for approximately $9.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
The proceeds from these sales are expected to be reinvested on a tax-deferred
basis and are reflected in the Statements of Cash Flows under the caption
"Other Non-Cash Information."

STOCK REPURCHASES:  There were no repurchases of the Company's common stock
during the third quarter of 1996.  A total of 1,283,934 shares have been
repurchased, at an average cost of $23.79 per share, since the current
two-million share repurchase program initially was approved by the Company in
December 1993.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS:  As with most industrial and land-development companies
of its size, A&B's operations have certain risks which could result in
expenditures for environmental remediation.  The Company believes that it is in
compliance, or is in the process of taking actions to be in compliance, in all
material respects, with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and
takes a proactive role in identifying potential environmental concerns.  
Management believes that appropriate liabilities have been accrued for poten-
tial environmental costs.

FOOD PRODUCTS:  Cost control initiatives that began during the second half of
1995, coupled with a higher sales volume and prices for refined sugar products,
have made a positive contribution to the third quarter and first nine months of
1996 results.  In spite of increased import quotas for foreign sugar, raw sugar
prices remained at relatively high levels, although the raw sugar prices for
the third quarter and first nine months of 1996 were slightly lower than in the
comparable prior year periods.  In addition, the Company began to phase out
operations at its liquid sugar refinery in Hawaii.  The phase-out began July 1,
1996 and is expected to be complete by year end.

     In June 1995, the Company began the process of winding down the
unprofitable sugar-growing operations at its Kauai plantation.  The final
sugarcane harvest was completed, as scheduled, in September 1996.  A closure
cost estimated at $8.1 million was recognized in the second quarter of 1995.
Approximately 195 employees were laid off or retired during the closure
process.  Approximately 70 employees are being retained as employees of the
Company's coffee growing and marketing business, Island Coffee Company, Inc.  
Many of the laid off employees are also working in temporary and seasonal posi-
tions during the current coffee harvest.

     Efforts are continuing to improve the profitability of the Company's
sugar-growing operations on Maui.  The 1995 yield decline, which is believed to
have resulted primarily from water and plant nutrient deficiencies and a plant
virus, is continuing to impact the 1996 sugarcane harvest.  These matters are
being corrected to the extent possible, but the impacts will continue to be
felt through the current year's production and into 1997.

LEGISLATION:  In April 1996, the President of the United States signed the
Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act.  Along with provisions
affecting many crops for the next seven years, the new law made changes to the
sugar price-support mechanisms.  These changes included eliminating market
allocation mechanisms, lowering the sugar price support level by providing for
government recourse loans when imports of raw sugar are below a defined
threshold and establishing a minimum level of raw sugar imports.  Although some
of these changes are beneficial to the operating results of the Company's food
products segment, they fall short of the relief sought by the Company and the
cane sugar refining industry.  On September 13, 1996, the U.S. Secretary of
Agriculture announced that beginning in 1997, the level of raw sugar
imports would be administered under a revised formula.  Under this new method,
an initial import quota of 1,700,000 tons is established.  The import quota
will increase or decrease by specified amounts, at scheduled intervals, based
upon changes in sugar supply, demand and inventories.  The United States
Department of Agriculture will monitor this program and may, at its discretion,
alter the sugar import quota.  

PROFIT IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVES:  Also contributing to the third quarter and
first nine months of 1996 results were the late-1995 staff reductions, the
freezing of executive salaries for 1996, the elimination of Company-owned
executive automobiles and the 1995 relocation of Matson's customer service
operations to Phoenix, Arizona.  Additionally, in July 1996, the Company sold
its corporate airplane.  The Company is continuing to seek ways to reduce costs
and improve operating and administrative efficiencies.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS:  The outlook for Hawaii's economy remains modestly
encouraging, amid forecasts of a slow, but increasing, growth rate.  Hawaii's
visitor industry continues to improve steadily, with visitor arrivals rising
and higher hotel room rates, but with concerns over shorter average stays by
visitors.  The construction industry continues to be at or near a cyclical low
point, and declining backlogs are slowing the pace of the overall economic
recovery.  The Company still has no basis to expect that Hawaii's incipient
economic recovery will provide a significant boost to earnings in 1996.

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- ---------------------------

     Reference is made to the description of the Home Insurance Company case
under Item 3, "Legal Proceedings," in Part I of A&B's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

     On October 1, 1996, the Court of Appeal of the State of California
unanimously affirmed the judgment entered by the Superior Court, which had
awarded Matson Terminals $23,516,000 (including $11,250,000 in punitive
damages) plus interest.  The Court of Appeal also remanded the case to the
Superior Court for a determination of the amount of attorney's fees and costs
to be awarded to Matson Terminals in connection with the appeal.  Defendant
Home Insurance Company's petition for a rehearing was denied, and Home
Insurance Company has indicated its intent to petition the California Supreme
Court for review.
