NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1994 and 1993
(Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Accounting statement
- -------------------------
In the opinion of HEI's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all material adjustments required by generally
accepted accounting principles to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the results of its
operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and
1993, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as described
below. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by
reference in HEI's Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1993 and the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in
HEI's Quarterly Reports on SEC Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and
June 30, 1994. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993 was
derived from audited financial statements.
(2) Discontinued operations
- ----------------------------
Hawaiian Electric Renewable Systems, Inc.
- -----------------------------------------
On October 6, 1992, the Board of Directors of HEI ratified management's
September 30, 1992 plan to exit the nonutility wind energy business because of
chronic mechanical problems with its wind turbines and continuing losses from
operations. In March 1993, HEI sold the stock of HERS to The New World Power
Corporation for an amount which was not material. In the first quarter of 1993,
in connection with the sale of HERS, HEI reversed reserves for site restoral and
other HERS' disposal costs that were no longer needed due to the terms of the
sale, resulting in a net gain on disposal of discontinued operations of
$1.8 million.
The Hawaiian Insurance & Guaranty Co., Limited
- ----------------------------------------------
HIG and its subsidiaries (the HIG Group) are property and casualty insurance
companies in the State of Hawaii. HEIDI, a subsidiary of HEI, was the holder of
record of all the common stock of HIG until August 16, 1994, when HEIDI
surrendered the stock of HIG for cancellation.
On December 2, 1992, the Board of Directors of HEI had concluded that it would
not contribute additional capital to HIG and the remaining investment in the HIG
Group was written off in the fourth quarter of 1992. The decision resulted from
an increase in the estimate of policyholder claims from Hurricane Iniki (which
hit the Hawaiian Islands on September 11, 1992). On December 24, 1992, with the
consent of the HIG Group, a formal rehabilitation order (the Rehabilitation
Order) was entered by the First Circuit Court of the State of Hawaii, vesting
full control over the HIG Group in the Insurance Commissioner (the
Rehabilitator/Liquidator) and her deputies.
On April 12, 1993, the Rehabilitator/Liquidator, HIG, United National Insurance
Company, Ltd. and Hawaiian Underwriters Insurance Co., Ltd. filed a complaint
against HEI, HEIDI and certain current and former officers and directors of HEI,
HEIDI and the HIG Group in state court on the island of Kauai. The complaint set
forth several separate counts, including claims to the effect that HEI and/or
HEIDI should be held liable for HIG's obligations based on allegations, among
others, that HIG was held out to be part of an HEI family of companies (and not
as a separate enterprise) and that HEIDI is liable for an assessment levied by
the Rehabilitator/Liquidator. The complaint alleged that certain current and
former officers and directors of HEI, HEIDI and the HIG Group had breached their
fiduciary duties to the HIG Group in numerous respects. The complaint requested
declaratory relief and compensatory, general, special and punitive damages,
together with costs and attorneys' fees.
On July 12, 1993, the Rehabilitator/Liquidator filed a first amended complaint,
which repeated the claims asserted in the original complaint but added the
Hawaii Insurance Guaranty Association (HIGA) as a plaintiff and asserted certain
additional claims.
6
In early 1994, HEI, HEIDI, certain officers and directors, the
Rehabilitator/Liquidator and HIGA signed an agreement to settle the lawsuit,
subject to obtaining necessary court approvals. On April 6, 1994, the court in
which the HIG Group's rehabilitation proceeding is pending approved the
settlement agreement. A stipulation dismissing the suit brought by the
Rehabilitator/Liquidator was filed on July 8, 1994. Under the agreement, the
Company paid $32.0 million into an escrow account. In August 1994, the
$32.0 million plus interest was disbursed to the Rehabilitator/Liquidator, at
which time the release of claims against HEI, its affiliates and their past and
present officers and directors became effective and the common stock of HIG held
by HEIDI was cancelled.
The $32.0 million settlement amount, less income tax benefits and certain
amounts recognized in previously established reserves, resulted in a
$15.0 million after-tax charge to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter
of 1993. HEI is seeking reimbursement for the settlement and defense costs from
certain of its insurance carriers. HEI's claims against its insurance carriers
will require resolution of several insurance coverage and other policy issues
and the outcome of such claims cannot be predicted at this time. One of HEI's
insurance carriers has filed a declaratory relief action in the U.S. District
Court for the District of Hawaii seeking resolution of these issues, and HEI has
filed counterclaims for declaratory relief, breach of contract, tortious breach
of contract and punitive damages. Trial of the case is scheduled for October
1995. Recoveries from HEI's insurance carriers, if any, will be recognized when
realized.

(5) Real estate subsidiary
- ---------------------------
MPC and its subsidiaries' total real estate project inventory, equity investment
in real estate joint ventures and loans to unconsolidated joint ventures or
joint venture partners amounted to $56 million and $49 million at September 30,
1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively.
In 1990, Malama Development Corp. (MDC) acquired a 50% general partnership
interest in Baldwin*Malama, a partnership with Baldwin Pacific Properties, Inc.
(BPPI). In May 1993, Baldwin*Malama was reorganized as a limited partnership in
which MDC became the sole general partner and BPPI the sole limited partner.
Beginning in May 1993, in conjunction with the dissolution of the general
partnership and formation of the limited partnership, MDC consolidated the
accounts of Baldwin*Malama. Previously, MDC accounted for its investment in
Baldwin*Malama under the equity method.
At September 30, 1994, MPC or its subsidiaries were directly liable for
$15.8 million of outstanding loans and had additional loan facilities of
$1.4 million. In addition, at September 30, 1994, MPC or its subsidiaries had
issued (i)guaranties under which they were jointly and severally contingently
liable with their joint venture partners for $1.9 million of outstanding loans
and (ii) payment guaranties under which MPC or its subsidiaries were severally
contingently liable for $6.7 million of outstanding loans and $7.9 million of
additional undrawn loan facilities. In total, at September 30, 1994, MPC or its
9
subsidiaries were liable or contingently liable for $24.3 million of outstanding
loans and $9.3 million in undrawn loan facilities. At September 30, 1994, HEI
had agreed with the lenders of construction loans and loan facilities, of which
approximately $14.4 million was outstanding and $9.3 million was undrawn, that
it will maintain ownership of l00% of the stock of MPC and that it intends,
subject to good and prudent business practices, to keep MPC financially sound
and responsible to meet its obligations as guarantor. MPC or its subsidiaries
may enter into additional commitments in connection with the financing of future
phases of development of MPC's projects and HEI may enter into similar
agreements regarding the ownership and financial condition of MPC.

as part of the cost of electric utility plant, amounted to $6,427,000 and
$5,269,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
In March 1994, MDC's Baldwin*Malama partnership closed on an option to purchase
approximately 147 acres of land on the island of Maui from BPPI. Of the total
land purchase price of $9.9 million, Baldwin*Malama issued mortgage notes
payable of $8.0 million in noncash consideration.
(9) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
- ------------------------------------------------
The Company provides various postretirement benefits other than pensions to
eligible employees upon retirement. Health and life insurance benefits are
provided to eligible employees of HEI, HECO and its subsidiaries, and YB upon
their retirement. Medical, dental and vision benefits are provided to eligible
employees of HEI and HECO and its subsidiaries upon their retirement, with
contributions by retirees toward costs based on their years of service and
retirement date. Medical and vision benefits are provided to eligible bargaining
unit employees of YB upon their retirement at no cost. Employees are eligible
for these benefits if, upon retirement, they participate in one of the Company's
defined benefit pension plans. Currently, no funding has been provided for these
benefits. Through December 31, 1992, the cost of postretirement benefits other
than pensions had not been recognized until paid (i.e., the pay-as-you-go
method). Accordingly, no provision had been made for future benefits to existing
or retired employees.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions," which requires accrual, during the years that an employee
renders the necessary service, of the expected cost of providing postretirement
benefits other than pensions to that employee and the employee's beneficiaries
and covered dependents. The transition obligation is being recognized on a
delayed basis over 20 years.
In February 1992, the PUC opened a generic docket to determine whether SFAS
No. 106 should be adopted for rate-making purposes. On July 15, 1993, the PUC
issued an interim decision and order in the generic docket, amending an earlier
interim decision and order to state that it is probable that its final decision
will allow, for rate-making purposes, the full costs of postretirement benefits
other than pensions calculated on the basis of SFAS No. 106. Upon request of
HECO and its subsidiaries, on January 11, 1994, the PUC issued another interim
decision and order which stated that it has "determined that it will allow each
utility to calculate, for ratemaking purposes, the full costs of postretirement
benefits other than pensions on an accrual basis, rather than the current pay-
as-you-go basis." The PUC further stated that it has not yet decided whether to
adopt SFAS No. 106 in its entirety or with modifications, but it reaffirmed that
"(1) it is probable that the final decision and order in these dockets will
allow, for ratemaking purposes, the full costs of postretirement benefits other
than pensions calculated on the basis of SFAS [No.] 106; and (2) it is probable
that the difference between the costs of postretirement benefits other than
pensions determined under SFAS [No.] 106 and the current pay-as-you-go method
from January 1, 1993, through the effective date of the postretirement benefits
step increases . . . will be recovered ratably through future rates over a
period not extending beyond 2013."
Beginning in the second quarter of 1993 and based upon the interim decisions and
orders, HECO and its subsidiaries and YB recognized regulatory assets and
deferred for financial reporting purposes the difference between the costs of
postretirement benefits other than pensions determined under SFAS No. 106 and
such costs under the pay-as-you-go method. The regulatory assets for
postretirement benefits other than pensions totaled $32.3 million as of
September 30, 1994.
If the PUC in its final decision and order does not fully adopt SFAS No. 106 for
rate-making purposes and if under current accounting guidelines it is concluded
that recognition of regulatory assets with respect to the difference between the
accrual and the PUC-approved methods would be inappropriate, then the net
earnings of the Company would be adversely affected by SFAS No. 106 in 1994 and
future years. Management cannot predict with certainty when the final decision
in the generic docket will be rendered.
11
(10) Accounting changes in 1994
- --------------------------------
Postemployment benefits
In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." This statement
requires employers to recognize the obligation to provide postemployment
benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 43, "Accounting for Compensated Absences,"
if the obligation is attributable to employees' services already rendered,
employees' rights to those benefits accumulate or vest, payment of the benefits
is probable, and the amount of the benefits can be reasonably estimated. The
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 112 on January 1, 1994. The
implementation of SFAS No. 112 did not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial condition or the results of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994.
Accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities
In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities." This statement requires that investments in
equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and investments in
debt securities be classified in three categories and accounted for as follows:
. Debt securities that the enterprise has the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported
at amortized cost.
. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading
securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses
included in earnings.
. Debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity
securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale
securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses
excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115 on January 1, 1994. As of
September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, marketable securities consisted of
trading securities, stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and mortgage-
backed securities. All marketable securities other than the trading securities
are classified as held-to-maturity securities. The implementation of SFAS No.
115 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
condition or the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1994.

as part of the cost of electric utility plant, amounted to $6,427,000 and
$5,269,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

(4) Commitments and contingencies
- ----------------------------------
Power purchase agreements
In general, payments under the major power purchase agreements are based upon
available capacity and energy. Payments for capacity generally are not required
if the contracted capacity is not available, and payments are reduced, under
certain conditions, if available capacity drops below contracted levels. In
general, the payment rates for capacity have been predetermined for the terms of
the agreements. The energy charges will vary over the terms of the agreements
and HECO and its subsidiaries may pass on changes in the fuel component of the
energy charges to customers through energy cost adjustment clauses in its rate
schedules. HECO's 1994 test year interim decision and order also allows
differences between the actual non-fuel purchased power costs HECO incurs and
the amount collected from customers to be passed on through a purchased power
non-fuel clause. HECO and its subsidiaries do not operate nor participate in the
operation of any of the facilities that provide power under the major
agreements. Title to the facilities does not pass to HECO and its subsidiaries
upon expiration of the agreements, and the agreements do not contain bargain
purchase options with respect to the facilities.
As of September 30, 1994, HECO and its subsidiaries had power purchase
agreements for 473 megawatts (MW) of firm capacity representing approximately
22% of the total of their generating capabilities and purchased power firm
capacities. Rate recovery is allowed for energy and firm capacity payments under
these agreements. Assuming that each of the agreements, except for the
agreements with Hilo Coast Processing Company (which issued a written notice of
termination indicating that it would cease power production in March 1997) and
Hamakua Sugar Company (which ceased power production in October 1994), remains
in place for the entire contract period and the minimum availability criteria in
the power purchase agreements are met, aggregate minimum fixed capacity charges
are expected to be between $99 million and $107 million annually from 1994
through 2015, between $50 million and $77 million annually from 2016 through
2022 and $4 million annually from 2023 through 2028.
HECO disputed certain amounts (primarily energy charges) billed each month under
its power purchase agreements with Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa) and AES
Barbers Point, Inc. (AES-BP). The Kalaeloa and AES-BP power purchase agreements
contain provisions whereby either party to the agreement may cause the dispute
to be submitted to binding arbitration.
Kalaeloa requested that its dispute with HECO be arbitrated, and the arbitration
proceedings were completed in August 1994. The arbitrators' decision did not
have a material effect on HECO's consolidated financial condition or results of
operations.
Discussions between HECO and AES-BP to resolve their disputed billing amounts
have been held. Disputed amounts billed by AES-BP through September 1994, for
which HECO has withheld payment, totaled approximately $2.1 million. HECO has
not recognized any portion of the withheld amounts as an expense or liability in
its financial statements. Approximately $1.4 million of the amounts withheld, if
ultimately paid, are expected to be included in HECO's energy cost adjustment
clause or purchased power non-fuel clause and passed through to customers. Based
on the information available, HECO's management believes that the ultimate
outcome of the AES-BP dispute will not have a material adverse effect on HECO's
consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
As of September 30, 1994, HELCO's firm power purchase agreements included an
amended power purchase agreement with Hamakua Sugar Company (Hamakua), a power
purchase agreement with Puna Geothermal Ventures (PGV) and a power purchase
agreement with Hilo Coast Processing Company (HCPC). Under the amended power
purchase agreement, Hamakua, which is in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding,
agreed to supply HELCO with 8 MW of firm capacity during its final sugar cane
harvest. Hamakua ceased operations in October 1994. PGV, an independent
geothermal power producer which had experienced substantial delays in commencing
commercial operations, passed an acceptance test in June 1993 and became a firm
capacity source for 25 MW. Due to problems with one of its wells, PGV was
producing only about 16 MW as of June 30, 1994. The problems with the well were
corrected, and prior to September 30, 1994, PGV had returned to 25 MW of output.
In March 1994, HCPC, which currently provides 18 MW of firm capacity, issued a
written notice of termination to HELCO indicating that it would cease producing
power in March 1997. HELCO, in turn, issued a written notice of its preliminary
intent to purchase the HCPC facility, subject to a number of conditions. HELCO
and HCPC are currently in negotiations regarding the potential purchase. As
permitted under the power purchase agreement, HCPC has asked that the issue of
the fair market value of the facilities be determined through
17
binding arbitration. HELCO has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase
the facilities for fair market value.
HECO power outage
On April 9, 1991, HECO experienced a power outage that affected all customers on
the island of Oahu. The PUC initiated an investigation of the outage by its
order dated April 16, 1991. This investigation was consolidated with a pending
investigation of an outage that occurred in 1988. The PUC held a hearing on the
April 9, 1991 outage in May 1991. Further proceedings have not been scheduled at
this time. Recommendations were made to HECO by Power Technologies, Inc., an
independent consultant hired by HECO with the approval of the PUC, and HECO
filed its comments on the PTI recommendations with the PUC in November 1993.
Management cannot predict the timing and outcome of any decision and order to be
issued, if any, by the PUC with respect to the outages.
HECO's PUC-approved tariff rule states that HECO "will not be liable for
interruption or insufficiency of supply or any loss, cost, damage or expense of
any nature whatsoever, occasioned thereby if caused by accident, storm, fire,
strikes, riots, war or any cause not within [HECO's] control through the
exercise of reasonable diligence and care." Under the rule, customers had 30
days from the date of the power outage to file claims. HECO received 3,063
customer claims which totaled approximately $7.8 million. Of the 3,063 claims,
1,530 are for property damage. As of September 30, 1994, HECO had settled or
closed 1,342 of these property damage claims and had settlement offers
outstanding with respect to the remaining 188 claims. The settlement offers are
being made for purposes of settlement and compromise only, and without any
admission by HECO of liability for the outage. Not covered in the settlements
or the settlement offers are 1,533 claims involving alleged personal injury or
economic losses, such as lost profits.
On April 19, 1991, seven direct or indirect business customers on the island of
Oahu filed a lawsuit against HECO on behalf of themselves and an alleged class,
claiming $75 million in compensatory damages and additional unspecified amounts
for punitive damages because of the April 9, 1991 outage. The lawsuit was
dismissed without prejudice in April 1993 and subsequently refiled by the
plaintiffs. HECO has filed an answer which denies the principal allegations in
the complaint, sets forth affirmative defenses, and asserts that the suit should
not be maintained as a class action. Discovery proceedings have been initiated.
In March 1994, HECO filed a motion for an order denying class certification of
the lawsuit and the plaintiffs responded with a cross-motion for class
certification. Both motions were denied without prejudice. Trial has been set
for January 22, 1996.
HECO has recorded a liability of $1 million for the total amount of expected
defense costs and settlements with respect to the outage. In the opinion of
management, losses (if any) in excess of the amount for which provision has been
made, net of estimated insurance recoveries, resulting from the ultimate outcome
of the lawsuit and claims related to the April 9, 1991 outage will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company or consolidated HECO.
HELCO reliability investigation
In July 1991, following service interruptions and rolling blackouts instituted
on the island of Hawaii, the PUC issued an order calling for an investigation
into the reliability of HELCO's system.
An evidentiary hearing was held in September 1991 and public hearings were held
in October 1991. In light of approximately 20 subsequent incidents of rolling
blackouts and service interruptions resulting from insufficient generation
margin, further evidentiary hearings were held in July 1992. With the input from
an independent consultant (if one is retained) and the parties to the
proceedings, the PUC may formulate minimum reliability standards for HELCO, use
the standards to assess HELCO's system reliability, and re-examine the rate
increase approved in October 1992 to see whether any adjustments are
appropriate. In the opinion of management, any adjustment by the PUC to its
October 1992 rate increase resulting from the reliability investigation would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's or HECO's consolidated
financial condition or results of operations.
Subsequent to the hearings in this matter, HELCO's generation margin improved
with the addition of a 20-MW combustion turbine in August 1992 and PGV's
commencement of commercial operations.
18
HELCO is proceeding with plans to install two 20-MW combustion turbines at
Keahole on the island of Hawaii in 1995, followed by an 18-MW heat steam
recovery generator in 1997, at which time these units will be converted to a
combined-cycle unit, subject in each case to obtaining necessary permits and
approvals. The PUC has issued a decision and order approving commitment of
expenditures for the first 20-MW combustion turbine. Evidentiary hearings on the
other portions of the unit were held in July 1994. Further, Kawaihae
Cogeneration Partners and Enserch Development Corp. have each filed with the PUC
separate complaints against HELCO, alleging that, rather than having HELCO build
the combined cycle unit, they are entitled to a power purchase contract to
provide all or part of the capacity. An evidentiary hearing in the Kawaihae
Cogeneration Partners docket was held in June 1994. The evidentiary hearing in
the Enserch Development Corp. docket is scheduled for December 1994.
HELCO has encountered procedural and other difficulties in obtaining the
necessary air permit and Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP) which would
allow the combined cycle unit to be constructed at the Keahole site. With
respect to the air permit, a public hearing was held on September 12, 1994 and
the DOH plans to hold a second public hearing before taking action on the permit
application. While it is anticipated that the air permit will be issued, a delay
in the scheduling of the second hearing and the issuance of the permit could
adversely impact HELCO's unit installation schedule. With respect to the CDUP,
difficulties included intervenors filing for a contested case hearing which was
not held. The Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) addressed the CDUP at
its May 13, 1994 meeting. The BLNR was unable to obtain the necessary votes to
either approve or deny the permit. It is HELCO's position that it became
entitled to the CDUP by operation of law as the BLNR failed to act on HELCO's
application by the May 18, 1994 deadline. The results of the BLNR meeting were
challenged in the Third Circuit Court, and on June 24, 1994, the court granted a
motion to stay the effectiveness of the CDUP. HELCO intends to continue to
litigate the appeal of the results of the BLNR meeting. A hearing in the Third
Circuit case was held on October 31, 1994, and it is anticipated that a decision
in the case will be issued shortly. If the case is not resolved expeditiously,
the stay is likely to adversely impact HELCO's unit installation schedule. To
address the contingency that the air permit or CDUP might be significantly
delayed or ultimately denied, HELCO is exploring other alternatives to meet
projected energy needs, including any viable, timely and cost-effective
nonutility generation alternative. However, in the event of a significant delay
or denial of the air permit or CDUP, management believes that there may be more
rolling blackouts before the required additional generation could be completed
or any alternative solution could be implemented.

(7) Postretirement benefits other than pensions
- ------------------------------------------------
HECO and its subsidiaries provide medical, dental, vision, life insurance and
other benefits to eligible employees upon their retirement, with contributions
by retirees toward costs based on their years of service and retirement date.
Employees are eligible for these benefits if, upon retirement, they participate
in one of the Company's defined benefit pension plans. Currently, no funding has
been provided for these benefits. Through December 31, 1992, the cost of these
benefits had not been recognized until paid. Accordingly, no provision was made
for future benefits to existing or retired employees.
Effective January 1, 1993, HECO and its subsidiaries adopted SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," which
requires accrual, during the years that an employee renders the necessary
service, of the expected cost of providing postretirement benefits other than
pensions to that employee and the employee's beneficiaries and covered
dependents. The transition obligation is being recognized on a delayed basis
over 20 years.
In February 1992, the PUC opened a generic docket to determine whether SFAS No.
106 should be adopted for rate-making purposes. On July 15, 1993, the PUC issued
an interim decision and order in the generic docket, amending an earlier interim
decision and order to state that it is probable that its final decision will
allow, for rate-making purposes, the full costs of postretirement benefits other
than pensions calculated on the basis of SFAS No. 106. Upon request of HECO and
its subsidiaries, on January 11, 1994, the PUC issued another interim decision
and order which stated that it has
20
"determined that it will allow each utility to calculate, for ratemaking
purposes, the full costs of postretirement benefits other than pensions on an
accrual basis, rather than the current pay-as-you-go basis." The PUC further
stated that it has not yet decided whether to adopt SFAS No. 106 in its entirety
or with modifications, but it reaffirmed that "(1) it is probable that the final
decision and order in these dockets will allow, for ratemaking purposes, the
full costs of postretirement benefits other than pensions calculated on the
basis of SFAS [No.] 106; and (2) it is probable that the difference between the
costs of postretirement benefits other than pensions determined under SFAS [No.]
106 and the current pay-as-you-go method from January 1, 1993, through the
effective date of the postretirement benefits step increases . . . will be
recovered ratably through future rates over a period not extending beyond 2013."
Beginning in the second quarter of 1993 and based upon these interim decisions
and orders, HECO and its subsidiaries recognized regulatory assets and deferred
for financial reporting purposes the difference between the costs of
postretirement benefits other than pensions determined under SFAS No. 106 and
such costs under the pay-as-you-go method. The regulatory assets for
postretirement benefits other than pensions totaled $30.1 million as of
September 30, 1994.
If the PUC in its final decision and order does not fully adopt SFAS No. 106
for rate-making purposes and if under current accounting guidelines it is
concluded that recognition of regulatory assets with respect to the difference
between the accrual and the PUC approved methods would be inappropriate, then
the net earnings of consolidated HECO would be adversely affected by SFAS No.
106 in 1994 and future years. Management cannot predict with certainty when the
final decision in the generic docket will be rendered.
(8) Accounting change in 1994
- ------------------------------
Postemployment benefits
In November 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." This statement requires employers to recognize the
obligation to provide postemployment benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 43,
"Accounting for Compensated Absences," if the obligation is attributable to
employees' services already rendered, employees' rights to those benefits
accumulate or vest, payment of the benefits is probable, and the amount of the
benefits can be reasonably estimated. HECO and its subsidiaries adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 112 on January 1, 1994. The implementation of SFAS No.
112 did not have a material effect on consolidated HECO's financial condition or
the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1994, HEI reported net income of $22.7
million, or $0.80 per share, compared to $16.1 million, or $0.61 per share, in
the same period of 1993. Net income increased due to improved results from all
segments.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, HEI reported net income of $52.1
million, or $1.86 per share, compared to $46.2 million, or $1.82 per share, in
the same period of 1993. The nine months ended September 30, 1993 results
included the reversal of a reserve for the disposal of HERS after the sale of
HERS in March 1993. Excluding a nonrecurring adjustment in 1993 for vacation
earned but not yet taken by employees of the electric utility subsidiaries,
income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 1994 would have
reflected an increase of approximately 25% over the first nine months of 1993
due to improved results from all segments.
23
Shareholder dividends are declared and paid by HEI at the discretion of HEI's
Board of Directors. On October 18, 1994, HEI's Board of Directors increased the
quarterly cash dividend by 1 cent to $0.59 per share for the fourth quarter of
1994. HEI and its predecessor company, HECO, have paid dividends continuously
since 1901. Dividends per share have been higher each year since 1964. Although
the Company's long-term goal is to have dividend growth keep pace with
inflation, management believes that the current payout ratio (94% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994) is too high. Management believes that a payout
ratio of 80% or less is more appropriate and, in the future, hopes to grow
earnings faster than dividends to reduce the payout ratio. One of the keys to
improved earnings (and a corresponding reduction in the dividend payout ratio)
is continued regulatory support as evidenced by timely rate case decisions.
Another key to long-term growth in earnings is growth and expansion of the
Company. Thus, management is looking at opportunities to grow the Company in
Hawaii and in the Pacific Basin.
Following is a general discussion of revenues, expenses and operating income by
business segment.

For the three months ended September 30, 1994, operating income and net income
for the electric utility segment was up 29% and 33%, respectively, from
comparable 1993 amounts, due primarily to 1994 interim rate relief and a 4.7%
increase in kilowatthour sales due primarily to Hawaii's improving economy and
warmer weather.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, operating income and net income
for the electric utility segment was up by 15% and 14%, respectively. Excluding
the "vacation" adjustment, operating income and net income for the electric
utility segment were up 21% and 22%, respectively, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994, due primarily to interim rate relief in 1994 for HECO and
HELCO and the full effect of 1993 interim rate relief for MECO, and a 3.0%
increase in kilowatthour sales.
In 1993, HEI invested an additional $45 million in HECO. Also in 1993, HECO
invested an additional $12 million in HELCO and $6 million in MECO. The
infusions were made to support the electric utilities' capital expenditure
programs. As anticipated, HECO and its subsidiaries were not able to earn an
adequate return on that new equity during the first quarter of 1994. In April
1994 and August 1994, however, the PUC granted HECO and HELCO, respectively,
interim rate increases that recognize their increased investment in capital
facilities. See "Pending rate requests" below. Continued regulatory support from
the PUC is important to the future operating results of the electric utility
companies.
25
Competition
The electric utility industry in general has become increasingly more
competitive as a result of such factors as regulatory and technological
developments. The level of competition is affected by various factors including
price, reliability of service, new technologies and governmental regulations.
Also affecting the level of competition in Hawaii is the scarcity of generation
sites and lack of interconnections.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 encourages competition by allowing both utilities
and nonutilities to form generation subsidiaries without becoming subject to
regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.
On the demand-side, a new kind of competitor--the energy service company--is
seeking customers in government and private business and promising to help them
reduce utility bills. On Oahu, one of these companies worked with a large
military housing project, installing energy-efficient air-conditioning, water
heating and other equipment that decreased the facility's electric consumption
by one-third.
In August 1994, HEI formed a new nonutility energy service company, Pacific
Energy Conservation Services, Inc. (PECS) to promote energy conservation in
Hawaii and the Pacific Basin. PECS is considering potential projects to install,
finance, operate and maintain energy conservation equipment, while sharing a
percentage of the saved energy costs with its clients.
In response to competition, HECO and its subsidiaries are taking certain actions
to heighten their focus on providing reliable electric service at reasonable
costs, to offer customers new choices regarding the services provided and to
promote new technologies like electric vehicles.
Regulation of electric utility rates
The PUC has broad discretion in its regulation of the rates charged by HEI's
electric utility subsidiaries. Any adverse decision by the PUC concerning the
level or method of determining electric utility rates, the authorized returns on
equity or other matters or any prolonged delay in rendering a decision in a rate
proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations. Upon a showing of probable entitlement, the
PUC is required to issue an interim decision in a rate case within 10 months
from the date of filing a complete application if the evidentiary hearing is
completed (subject to extension for 30 days if the evidentiary hearing is not
completed), but there is no limitation on the time within which the PUC must
render a final decision.
Pending rate requests
In July 1993, HECO applied to the PUC for permission to increase electric rates,
based on a 1994 test year and a 12.6% return on average common equity (which was
later increased to 12.75%). In December 1993, HECO applied to the PUC for
permission to increase electric rates, based on a 1995 test year and a 12.3%
return on average common equity (which was later increased to 13.0%). Both
requests combined represent an increase of 16.7% over rates in effect at the
time of the filings, or $106 million in additional annual revenues. The
requested increases are needed to cover rising operating costs including the
costs related to the change in the method of accounting for postretirement
benefits other than pensions (which is part of a separate generic docket), to
cover the cost of new capital projects to maintain and improve service
reliability, to cover additional expenses associated with proposed changes in
depreciation rates and methods and to establish a self-insured property damage
reserve for transmission and distribution property in the event of catastrophic
disasters. On March 31, 1994, HECO received an interim decision and order from
the PUC on its rate increase application based on a 1994 test year, authorizing
increases of $36.9 million in annual revenues, or 5.9%, to become effective in
several steps in 1994, and based on a 12.0% return on average common equity. An
increase of $34.2 million in annual revenues was effective April 1, 1994, for
which HECO had proposed interim rate relief of $39.9 million. Additional
interim increases of $1.4 million and $1.3 million in annual revenues became
effective May 1, 1994 and November 1, 1994, respectively. Interim rate increases
are subject to refund with interest, pending the final outcome of the case.
Evidentiary hearings for the 1995 test year application are scheduled for
November 1994.
In November 1993, HELCO applied to the PUC for permission to increase electric
rates to provide $15.8 million in annual revenues, or a 13.4% increase over
present rates. The requested increase is based on a 1994 test year and a 12.4%
return on average common equity (which was later increased to 13.1%). The
increase is needed to cover plant, equipment, operating costs necessary to
maintain and improve
26
service and provide reliable power for its customers and the costs related to
the change in the method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than
pensions (which is part of a separate generic docket). On August 8, 1994, HELCO
received an interim decision and order from the PUC on its rate increase
application based on a 1994 test year, authorizing an increase of $13.6 million
in annual revenues, or approximately 11.7%. The increase is based on a 12.4%
return on average common equity. $13.2 million of the increase became effective
on August 9, 1994 and $0.4 million of the increase became effective on
November 1, 1994. Interim increases are subject to refund with interest, pending
the final outcome of the case. In June 1994, HELCO filed a notice of intent to
file an application for a general rate increase using a 1995 test year. The
increase is expected to be required primarily to cover investments in new
generating units.
In November 1991, MECO filed a request to increase rates by $18.3 million
annually, or 17% above the rates in effect at the time of the filing.
Evidentiary hearings were held in January 1993 and, at the conclusion of the
hearings, MECO adjusted its final rate increase request to $11.4 million
annually, or 10% above the rates then in effect, to become effective in several
steps in 1993, and reflecting a return on average common equity of 13.0%. The
decrease in the requested rate increase resulted primarily from a reduced cost
of capital, lower administrative and general expenses and other revisions to
MECO's estimated revenue requirements for the 1993 test year used in the rate
case. Most of the proposed increase reflected the costs of adding a 58-MW
combined-cycle generating unit on Maui in three phases and the costs related to
the change in the method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than
pensions. In 1993, MECO received four interim decisions which authorized step
increases totaling $8.2 million in annual revenues, or 7.2%, based on a 12.75%
return on average common equity. On August 5, 1994, MECO received the final
decision and order from the PUC regarding its rate increase request. It granted
an increase of $8.1 million in annual revenues, or approximately 7.0%, based on
a 12.75% return on average common equity. The difference in revenue increases
provided by the interim and final decision and orders of approximately
$0.3 million was refunded to customers together with interest. The primary
reason for the difference between the $11.4 million requested and the
$8.1 million granted is approximately $2 million related to the change in the
method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions, which is
part of a separate generic docket. MECO's total rate increase will be adjusted
to reflect the PUC's decision in this separate generic docket.
Management cannot predict with certainty when decisions in the rate cases will
be rendered or the amount of any interim or final rate increase that will be
granted.
Postretirement benefits other than pensions
HECO, HELCO and MECO are parties to a generic docket opened by the PUC in
February 1992 to determine whether SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," should be adopted for rate-making
purposes. For a discussion of the accounting for postretirement benefits other
than pensions, see note (7) in HECO's "Notes to consolidated financial
statements."
PUC review of the relationship between HEI and its subsidiaries
To address community concerns, HECO proposed by letter dated January 25, 1993,
that the PUC initiate a review of the relationship between HEI and HECO and the
effects of that relationship on the operations of HECO. By an order dated
January 26, 1993, the PUC initiated such a review to determine whether the HEI-
HECO relationship, HEI's diversified activities, and HEI's policies, operations
and practices have resulted in or are having any negative effects on HECO, its
electric utility subsidiaries and ratepayers. It is anticipated that the review
may result in recommendations to the Company and/or the PUC. In May 1994, a
consultant, Dennis Thomas and Associates, was selected by the PUC to perform the
review. The review is in progress and is expected to be completed by yearend.
HECO purchased power billing disputes
HECO disputed certain amounts billed each month under its power purchase
agreements with Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. and AES Barbers Point, Inc. The dispute
with Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. was submitted to arbitration and the arbitrators'
decision did not have a material effect on HECO's consolidated financial
condition or results of operations. See "Power purchase agreements" under note
(4) in HECO's "Notes to consolidated financial statements" for a further
discussion of this matter.
27
HECO power outage
On April 9, 1991, HECO experienced a power outage that affected all customers on
the island of Oahu. See "HECO power outage" under note (4) in HECO's "Notes to
consolidated financial statements" for a discussion of HECO's contingent
liabilities related to the outage.
HELCO reliability investigation and generation margin
The PUC initiated an investigation into the reliability of HELCO's system in
July 1991. See "HELCO reliability investigation" under note (4) in HECO's "Notes
to consolidated financial statements" for a discussion of this matter. Also see
Part II, Item 5, "Other information, nonutility generation," for a further
discussion of two of HELCO's purchased power suppliers.
Waiau-CIP transmission lines
In 1993, the PUC held hearings concerning Part 2 of the proposed Waiau-Campbell
Industrial Park (CIP) 138-kilovolt transmission lines. These lines will be part
of a second transmission corridor in West Oahu, running approximately 15 miles
between CIP and HECO's Waiau power plant. The new lines are needed (1) to
increase system reliability by locating the new lines in a separate corridor
from the existing lines, (2) to provide additional transmission capacity to meet
expected load growth and (3) to provide transmission capacity for existing and
new power generation projects planned for West Oahu. HECO experienced community
opposition over the proposed placement of portions of these lines based in part
on the potential effects of the lines on aesthetics and the concern of some that
the electric and magnetic fields (EMF) from the power lines may have adverse
health effects. HECO witnesses addressed EMF, the route selection process (which
involved extensive public input), as well as engineering and related subjects.
One proposal by those who oppose the route of the overhead lines is to place
Part 2 of the Waiau-CIP lines underground. HECO estimated that this proposal
would cost approximately $100 million more than the cost of overhead lines. In
April 1994, the PUC issued a decision which permits HECO to construct the lines
above ground. While the PUC recognized the concerns of aesthetics and EMF, it
felt that neither concern was sufficient to justify the added cost of
undergrounding the lines. In May 1994, appeals to the state Supreme Court were
filed by the intervenors in the PUC proceeding requesting the Court to overturn
the PUC's ruling that allows HECO to construct the lines above ground. No stay
of the PUC order has been entered. Management cannot predict with certainty the
final outcome of this appeal or the impact the final outcome may have on the
cost of the lines or on system reliability.
Undergrounding of utility lines
There is a proposal before the Honolulu City Council for the mandatory
undergrounding of utility lines "whenever possible," except in some remote
areas. HECO opposes the proposal in its current form because the resulting
costs would place a burden on customers. Management believes the cost of
undergrounding utility lines would be recoverable in rates. However, management
cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of such proposals or the
impact of such proposals on HECO or the Company.

The savings bank segment posted a 4% decrease in operating income for the
quarter over the same period last year as a result of higher administrative and
general expenses for compensation and employee benefits. In spite of a lower
interest rate spread for the quarter compared to the third quarter of 1993, ASB
managed to increase net interest income by increasing interest-earning assets.
ASB's interest rate spread--the difference between the weighted average yield on
interest-earning assets and the weighted average rate on interest-bearing
liabilities--decreased to 3.51% in the quarter from 4.05% in the comparable
period of 1993. For the third quarter of 1994, the average loans balance was up
$351 million and the average balance for advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
and other borrowings was up $300 million from levels in the third quarter of
1993.
This interest rate spread decrease for the third quarter of 1994 can be
attributed to the changing interest rate environment. During 1993, falling
interest rates resulted in improved interest rate spreads as interest-bearing
liabilities repriced downward at a faster pace than interest-earning assets.
During 1994, rising interest rates have increased rates on interest-bearing
deposits slightly. However, yields on interest-earning assets have continued a
downward trend as a result of the prior year's refinancing and repricing of
loans and mortgage-backed securities.
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased by 3%
compared to the same period last year due to higher loans and mortgage-backed
securities balances. The average loans balance was up $327 million and the
average balance for advances from Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings
was up $206 million from levels in the first nine months of 1993. ASB's
interest rate spread decreased to 3.67%, compared to 3.87% for the first nine
months of 1993.
During 1994, the federal funds rate increased 1.75%. The federal funds rate,
which is the rate charged by banks for overnight loans to each other and which
has a significant influence on consumer rates, was 4.75% as of September 30,
1994.
The yields on U.S. Treasury bonds increased as a result of the higher short-term
interest rates. Mortgage and other loan rates are affected by key treasury
rates. Financial institutions incurring higher costs of funds can react by
raising the interest rate on new loans and setting higher repricing rates on
adjustable rate loans.
The rate increases caused the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to increase
slightly during the third quarter of 1994. However, yields on interest-earning
assets have not increased as higher interest rates can take about three to
twelve months to impact portfolio yields through loan originations and repricing
of adjustable rate loans. In the future, ASB's cost of interest-bearing
liabilities may further increase, which may result in a decreased interest rate
spread and lower net interest income.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1994, ASB's securities held
for trading experienced a $0.1 million and $1.9 million decrease, respectively,
in value which was charged to earnings. The decreases were primarily due to the
higher yields on U.S. Treasury bonds resulting in lower market values in fixed
income securities. In response to the increasing interest rate environment,
management decided to liquidate ASB's portfolio of securities held for trading
and the liquidation was completed in October 1994.
ASB's policy generally is to place mortgage loans on a nonaccrual status (i.e.,
interest accrual is suspended) when the loan becomes more than 90 days past due
or on an earlier basis when there is a reasonable doubt as to its
collectibility. Loans on nonaccrual status amounted to $22.4 million (1.11% of
total loans) at September 30, 1994 compared to $5.7 million (0.32% of total
loans) at December 31, 1993. The increase is primarily due to three commercial
real estate loans with principal balances totaling $11.8 million that were
restructured to defer monthly contractual principal and interest payments for
three to six months. Based on the current collectibility evaluations for these
loans, no specific allowance for loan losses is considered necessary.

transactions.
Freight transportation
The freight transportation subsidiaries recorded operating income of $1.7
million in the third quarter of 1994 compared to $0.4 million in the third
quarter of 1993. Improved results in the third quarter of 1994 were primarily
due to higher harbor assists and contract tows and a $0.2 million gain on the
sale of a barge. The freight transportation subsidiaries recorded operating
income of $2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared to
$0.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1993 as a result of higher
harbor assists and contract tows and a 1994 gain and 1993 loss on the sales of
barges.
In May 1994, YB filed an application with the PUC to increase rates by
approximately $2.4 million annually. On September 26, 1994, YB filed a
stipulation agreement with the PUC indicating YB and the Consumer Advocate had
agreed to stipulate to a 6% general rate increase, or approximately $2.0 million
annually, effective upon PUC approval. YB is presently awaiting a decision from
the PUC.
31
YB is a party to a generic docket opened by the PUC in February 1992 to
determine whether SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions," should be adopted for rate-making purposes. For a
discussion of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions, see
note (9) in HEI's "Notes to consolidated financial statements."
Real estate
In 1993 and the first nine months of 1994, MPC's real estate development
activities were adversely impacted by economic conditions. In the third quarter
of 1994, MPC recorded an operating loss of $0.1 million compared to an operating
loss of $0.2 million in the same period last year due in part to prior year
writedowns for the carrying value of a real estate investment, partially offset
by lower unit sales in the third quarter of 1994. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1994, MPC recorded an operating loss of $0.2 million compared to
an operating loss of $0.5 million in the same period last year. MPC continues to
be hampered by a slow real estate market.
In March 1994, MDC's Baldwin*Malama partnership closed on an option to purchase
approximately 147 acres of land for future development on the island of Maui
from BPPI at a purchase price of $9.9 million. The land is currently approved
for a development of 685 single-family and multi-family units. Baldwin*Malama is
seeking to increase the density of the development.
For further information on MPC, see note (5) in HEI's "Notes to consolidated
financial statements."
Income taxes
- ------------
The effective tax rates on income from continuing operations for the three
months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 were 42% and 44%, respectively. The
decrease in the effective tax rate was due in part to the recognition in the
third quarter of 1993 of the effect of the 1% federal income tax rate increase
(retroactive to January 1, 1993). The effective tax rate on income from
continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 was

Future accounting changes
- -------------------------
Accounting by creditors for impairment of a loan
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan." This statement requires that certain impaired loans be
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's
observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. The provisions of SFAS No. 114 must be adopted by ASB no
later than January 1, 1995. If SFAS No. 114 had been adopted on January 1, 1994,
it would not have had a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
condition or the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1994.
32
Environmental matters
- ---------------------
HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to numerous laws and regulations which are
designed to protect the environment, and include air and water quality controls,
hazardous waste and toxic substance controls and the Federal Oil Pollution Act
of 1990. HEI's electric utility subsidiaries are exempt from certain
environmental requirements applicable on the U.S. mainland. For example, the
electric utility subsidiaries are exempt from the acid rain provisions of the
1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. However, HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to
environmental laws and regulations which could potentially impact the Company in
terms of operating existing facilities, constructing and operating new
facilities and ensuring the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and
toxic substances. Management believes that the recovery through rates of most,
if not all, of any costs incurred by HECO and its subsidiaries in complying with
these environmental requirements would be allowed by the PUC. However, as with
other costs reviewed by the PUC in the rate-making process, costs incurred by
HECO and its subsidiaries in complying with these environmental requirements may
not be fully allowed by the PUC for rate-making purposes. Based on information
available to the Company to date, management is not aware of any contingent
liabilities relating to environmental matters that could have a material adverse
effect upon the Company or consolidated HECO.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources
- -------------------------------
The Company and HECO believe that their ability to generate cash, both
internally from operations and externally from debt and equity issues, is
adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund HECO and its subsidiaries'
construction programs, to cover debt retirements and to meet other cash
requirements in the foreseeable future.
The consolidated capital structure of HEI was as follows:
(in millions) September 30, 1994 December 31, 1993

ASB's deposit liabilities, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are not included in the table above.
For the first nine months of 1994, net cash provided by operating activities was
$75 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $474 million, largely due
to an increase in ASB's loans receivable and investments in mortgage-backed
securities and the electric utility companies' capital expenditures. Net cash
provided by financing activities was $368 million, due primarily to a net
increase in advances to ASB from the Federal Home Loan Bank, short-term
borrowings of the electric utilities and ASB's deposit liabilities.
In August 1994, HEI issued $35 million of variable rate medium-term notes with
an initial interest rate of 5.45% and maturing in August 1999.
Pursuant to the settlement agreement discussed in note (2) in HEI's "Notes to
consolidated financial statements," in April 1994, $32 million was deposited in
an escrow account. In August 1994, the $32 million plus interest was disbursed
to the Rehabilitator/Liquidator of the HIG Group. The $32 million was funded
out of available cash and short-term borrowings.
Total HEI consolidated financing requirements for the years 1994 through 1998,
including net capital expenditures, debt retirements and sinking fund
requirements, are currently estimated to total $1.4 billion. Of this amount,
approximately $0.9 billion are for net capital expenditures (mostly relating to
the electric utility companies' net capital expenditures described below). HEI's
consolidated internal sources, after the payment of HEI dividends, are expected
to provide approximately 42% of the consolidated financing requirements, with
debt and equity financing providing the remaining
33
requirements. Over the five-year period 1994 through 1998, HEI estimates that it
will require approximately $225 million in common equity, other than retained
earnings, which is expected to be provided principally by HEI's Dividend
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, the Hawaiian Electric Industries
Retirement Savings Plan and public offerings of common stock.
HEI was planning to issue approximately one million additional common shares in
a public offering in either late 1994 or early 1995 for a capital infusion into
the electric utility companies. However, the near-term capital needs of the
electric utility companies are moderating, so no underwritten public offering of
common stock is anticipated in the near-term.
Following is a discussion of the liquidity and capital resources of HEI's
largest segments.

In 1994, HECO and its subsidiaries redeemed $48 million of first mortgage bonds
prior to the bonds' scheduled maturity dates. The first mortgage bonds redeemed
had original maturity dates between April 2001 and December 2016 and interest
rates between 8.5% and 10.75%. During the first nine months of 1994, HECO and
its subsidiaries have also drawn $48 million of the proceeds from the sale of
special purpose revenue bonds.
Operating activities provided $76 million in net cash during the first nine
months of 1994. Investing activities used cash of $122 million for capital
expenditures net of contributions in aid of construction. Financing activities
provided $45 million in net cash primarily from increased short-term borrowings.
The electric utility's consolidated financing requirements for the years 1994
through 1998, including net capital expenditures, debt retirements and sinking
fund payment requirements, are estimated to total $1.0 billion. HECO's
consolidated internal sources, after the payment of common stock and preferred
stock dividends, are currently expected to provide approximately 50% of the
total $1.0 billion in requirements, with debt and equity financing providing the
remaining requirements. HECO currently estimates that it will require
approximately $100 million in common equity, other than retained earnings, over
the five-year period 1994 through 1998. The PUC must approve issuances of long-
term debt and equity for HECO, HELCO and MECO.
Capital expenditures include projects which are required to meet expected load
growth and improve reliability, and projects to replace and upgrade existing
equipment. Net capital expenditures (i.e., capital expenditures net of AFUDC and
third party cash contributions in aid of construction) for the five-year period
1994 through 1998 are currently estimated to total $0.9 billion. Approximately
70% of gross capital expenditures is for transmission and distribution projects,
with the remaining 30% primarily for generation projects.
For 1994, electric utility net capital expenditures are now estimated to be $180
million and gross capital expenditures are estimated to be $205 million, of
which approximately two-thirds is for transmission and distribution projects.
Drawdowns of proceeds from the sale of tax-exempt special purpose revenue bonds,
sales of common stock to HEI and the generation of funds from internal sources
are expected to provide the cash needed for the net capital expenditures.
Capital expenditure estimates and the timing of construction projects are
reviewed periodically by management and may change significantly as a result of
many considerations, including changes in economic conditions, changes in
forecasts of kilowatthour sales and peak load, the availability of alternate
energy and purchased power sources, the availability of generating sites and
transmission and distribution corridors, the ability to obtain adequate and
timely rate relief, escalation in construction
34
costs, demand-side management programs and requirements of environmental and
other regulatory and permitting authorities.
At September 30, 1994, $8 million of the proceeds from the sale of special
purpose revenue bonds in prior years were available to be drawn and an
additional $47 million and $170 million of revenue bonds were authorized by the
Hawaii legislature for issuance prior to the end of 1995 and 1997, respectively.
SAVINGS BANK

(in millions) 1994 1993 change
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assets....................... $2,940 $2,618 12
Loans receivable............. 1,967 1,735 13
Mortgage-backed securities... 743 630 18
Deposit liabilities.......... 2,154 2,092 3
At December 31, 1993, ASB was the second largest savings bank in the state based
on total assets of $2.6 billion. Since December 31, 1988, ASB's loans and
deposits have more than doubled. Loans and deposits continue to grow, although
at a slower pace than in the past.
For the first nine months of 1994, cash used by investing activities was $351
million, due largely to the origination of loans receivable and purchase of
mortgage-backed securities, offset by principal repayments. Cash provided by
financing activities included a net increase of $232 million in advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank, $62 million in deposit liabilities and $23 million
in securities sold under agreements to repurchase, offset by common stock
dividends of $11 million.
Deposits traditionally have been the principal source of ASB's funds for use in
lending, meeting liquidity requirements and making investments. ASB also derives
funds from the receipt of interest and principal on outstanding loans and
mortgage-backed securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Seattle, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other sources.
Minimum liquidity levels are currently governed by the regulations adopted by
the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). ASB was in compliance with OTS liquidity
requirements as of September 30, 1994.
OTS regulations require each savings association to have regulatory capital at
least sufficient to meet three requirements: tangible capital and core
(leverage) capital of 1.5% and 3.0%, respectively, of adjusted total assets; and
risk-based capital equal to 8.0% of risk-adjusted assets. As of September 30,
1994, ASB was in full compliance with the minimum capital requirements with a
tangible capital ratio of 5.0%, a core capital ratio of 5.3% and risk-based
capital of $160.9 million, $44.5 million in excess of the minimum requirement.
The OTS has adopted a new rule adding an interest rate risk (IRR) component to
the existing risk-based capital requirement. The regulation is effective January
1, 1994; however, the requirement that thrifts incorporate IRR into their risk-
based capital calculations, based on the lowest OTS IRR Exposure Reports for the
three prior quarter-ends, was to be effective September 30, 1994. The OTS
provided a waiver of the interest rate risk capital deduction until it can
finalize an appeals process and anticipates a new effective date of March 31,
1995. Institutions with an "above normal" level of IRR exposure may be required
to hold additional capital. "Above normal" IRR is defined as any percentage
decline in market value of an institution's portfolio equity in excess of 2% of
the market value of its assets, which would result from an immediate 200 basis
point change in interest rates. The OTS regulation will require a savings
association with an "above normal" level of IRR exposure to deduct from total
capital an amount equal to one-half of the "above normal" IRR times the market
value of its assets in meeting its existing 8% risk-based capital requirement.
Based on the lowest IRR reported as of the three prior quarter-ends, ASB would
not have been required to hold additional capital if the new rule had been in
effect at that time.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 established a
statutory framework for closer monitoring of insured depository institutions in
order to ensure "prompt corrective action" by regulators as an institution's
capital position declines. The OTS rules for prompt corrective action,
effective on December 19, 1992, define the capital measures for five capital
categories (well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, under-capitalized,
significantly under-capitalized and critically under-capitalized), and provide
for progressively more stringent restrictions and supervision as capital levels
decline. To be classified as "well-capitalized," an institution must have a
"leverage ratio" of 5%, a "Tier-
35
1 risk-based ratio" of 6% and a "total risk-based ratio" of 10%. As of September
30, 1994, ASB believes that based on OTS capital standards it would have been
classified as "well-capitalized" with a leverage ratio of 5.3%, a Tier-1 risk-
based ratio of 10.7% and a total risk-based ratio of 11.1%.
ASB believes that a satisfactory regulatory capital position provides a basis
for public confidence, affords protection to depositors, helps to ensure
continued access to capital markets on favorable terms and provides a foundation
for anticipated growth.

Nonutility generation
- ---------------------
A. Puna Geothermal Ventures (PGV)
PGV began supplying test energy to HELCO on April 22, 1993. As of June 27, 1993,
PGV had successfully completed the 100-hour acceptance test demonstrating its
ability to provide HELCO with the full 25 MW required in its power purchase
agreement (PPA). Therefore, as of that date, PGV commenced commercial operations
and HELCO's obligation to make firm capacity payments commenced. As of June 30,
1994, due to problems with one of its wells, PGV was producing approximately 16
MW. Prior to September 30, 1994, PGV had corrected the problems and returned to
25 MW of output.
On April 13, 1993, HELCO filed suit against PGV in the Third Circuit Court for
penalties and other relief (including general, incidental and consequential
damages and prejudgment interest) related to PGV's failure to provide power to
HELCO as of October 3, 1991. The lawsuit does not specify the amount sought.
Penalties were accumulated until June 27, 1993 when PGV commenced commercial
operations. As of June 27, 1993, the accumulated penalties amounted to
approximately $7.5 million. PGV has filed an answer and counterclaim and
contends that any penalties should be excused under the force majeure provisions
of the PPA, on the theory that delays were attributable to circumstances beyond
PGV's control. HELCO has recognized energy and capacity purchased from PGV as
expenses, but has withheld certain of such firm capacity and energy payments to
PGV. Amounts withheld for June 1993 through September 1994 totaled approximately
$3.4 million. HELCO continues to reserve its right to offset accumulated damages
and costs, including penalties, against any future energy and capacity payments
due to PGV. HELCO has not recognized any income for accumulated penalty amounts.
B. Hilo Coast Processing Company (HCPC)
HELCO has a PPA with HCPC for 18 MW of firm capacity. On July 31, 1992, C.
Brewer and Company publicly announced that Mauna Kea Agribusiness, which is the
primary supplier of sugar cane processed by HCPC, would begin converting its
acreage to macadamia nuts, eucalyptus trees and other diversified crops as of
November 1, 1992, and would discontinue harvesting sugar cane in late 1994.
Subsequently, on March 25, 1994, HCPC issued a written notice to HELCO
indicating its intent to cease supplying power to HELCO pursuant to the PPA as
of March 26, 1997. As allowed under the PPA, on April 22, 1994, HELCO informed
HCPC in writing of its preliminary intent to purchase the HCPC facilities,
subject to a number of conditions. HELCO and HCPC are currently in negotiations
regarding this potential purchase. As permitted under the PPA, HCPC has asked
that the issue of the fair market value of the facilities be determined through
binding arbitration. HELCO would have the right, but not the obligation, to
purchase the facilities for fair market value. Also see note (4) to HECO's
"Notes to consolidated financial statements."
