MAUNA LOA MACADAMIA PARTNERS, L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
-----------------------------
(1) In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheets as
of June 30, 1997, June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996 and the related
unaudited Statements of Income, Partners' Capital and Cash Flows for the
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 contain all adjustments, consisting
only of normally recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of June 30, 1997, June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996
and the results of operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows
for the periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
(2) These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and the Notes to Financial Statements filed with the
Commission in the Partnership's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(3) All production costs are annualized for interim reporting purposes, with the
difference between costs incurred to date and costs expensed to date being
reported on the balance sheet as an annualized cost adjustment.
(4) All capital allocations reflect the general partners' 1% equity interest and
the limited partners' 99% percent equity interest.
(5) Because the Partnership is not presently a taxable entity, no current income
taxes have been accrued. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987
includes a provision that some publicly traded limited partnerships,
including the Partnership, are to be taxed as corporations beginning in
1998.
(6) On June 3,1997, the second quarter cash distribution was declared in the
amount of seven and one-half cents (7.5c) per Class A Unit, payable on
August 15, 1997 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on June
30, 1997.
On June 30, 1997, there were 7,500,000 Class A Units issued and outstanding and
1,500,000 Class B Units issued and outstanding. No value has been assigned to
the Class B Units.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
---------------------------------------------
OPERATING RESULTS -- FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
For the first three months and first six months of 1997, nut production, nut
price and revenues are summarized below:
For the Three Months
Ended June 30,
--------------------
1997 1996 Change
---- ---- ------
Nuts harvested (000's Lbs. WIS) 778 934 - 17%
Nut price ($/Lb.) .6115 .5558 + 10%
----- -----
Net nut revenues ($000's) 476 519 - 8%
===== =====
For the Six Months
Ended June 30,
-------------------
1997 1996 Change
---- ---- ------
Nuts harvested (000's Lbs. WIS) 3,661 3,707 - 1%
Nut price ($/Lb.) .6115 .5558 + 10%
----- -----
Net nut revenues ($000's) 2,239 2,061 + 9%
===== =====
The Partnership's nut price is determined by a formula which is weighted 50% on
a two-year trailing average of USDA reported macadamia nut prices and 50% on the
current year processing and marketing results of Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut
Corporation ("MLMNC"), a separate privately owned company which purchases all of
the Partnership's nuts under long-term contracts.
The final price to be paid for the entire year's production is not known until
early in the following year when MLMNC's books have been closed and audited.
For interim payment and reporting purposes, therefore, the Partnership and MLMNC
estimate this nut price based on MLMNC's current processing and marketing plan.
When MLMNC updates its plan, the Partnership revises its current year nut price
estimate accordingly (unless the effect would be minimal) and records an
adjustment in that quarter to apply the revised price estimate to all nuts sold
earlier in that year as well.
9
For the full 1996-97 crop year (July 1 through June 30), nut production
increased by 23% to 22.1 million pounds. Comparative crop year production
figures are summarized below (in thousands of wet-in-shell pounds at 25%
equivalent moisture):
For the Crop Year 1997 1996
Ended June 30, over over
-------------------
1997 1996 1995 1996 1995
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Keaau orchards 7,744 7,106 7,038 + 9% + 1%
Ka'u orchards 13,023 9,578 12,319 + 36% - 22%
Mauna Kea orchard 1,312 1,248 577 + 5% + 116%
------ ------ ------
Total production 22,079 17,932 19,934 + 23% 10%
====== ====== ======
Production changes year-over-year result primarily from variations in weather
(especially rainfall levels and patterns) and tree maturation. Because the Ka'u
orchards are located in a drier part of the Island of Hawaii while the Keaau and
Mauna Kea orchards are located in a wetter part of the Island of Hawaii, periods
of very dry weather on the island tend to reduce production in the Ka'u orchards
(from insufficient moisture) while periods of very wet weather on the island
tend to reduce production in the Keaau and Mauna Kea orchards (from excessive
moisture). Nearly one-third of the Partnership's acreage has not yet reached
full maturity.
The increase in nut production for the 1996-97 crop year is due to adequate
rainfall in the Ka'u orchards, which suffered from very low rainfall the year
before.
Production costs (reported as "cost of goods sold") are based on annualized
standard unit costs. Total production costs were 11% lower in the first half of
1997 than for the same period in 1996.
On a per pound basis, production costs were 10% lower in the first half of 1997
than in the corresponding period last year. These results are due to the large
percent of production coming from the Ka'u orchards (95% in the first half of
1997 compared to 61% in the first half of 1996) which have a lower production
cost per pound than the Keeau and Mauna Kea orchards.
General and administrative expenses are roughly comparable year over year. The
Partnership generated more interest income in 1997 as a result of having cash on
hand.
SEASONALITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Macadamia nut farming is seasonal, with production peaking late in the fall.
However, farming operations continue year round. As a result, additional
working capital is required for much of the year.
The Partnership has a $4.0 million revolving line of credit in place to fund
working capital needs. Line of credit drawings were zero at both June 30, 1996
and June 30, 1997. No borrowings were made from the line of credit during the
first half of 1997.
It is the opinion of management that the Partnership has adequate borrowing
capacity available to meet anticipated working capital needs.
10
INFLATION AND TAXES
In general, prices paid to macadamia nut farmers fluctuate independently of
inflation. Those prices are influenced strongly by worldwide macadamia nut
production and by prices for finished macadamia products which, in turn, depend
on competition and consumer acceptance.
Hawaii's macadamia nut crop for the 1996-97 crop year is estimated at a record
56.5 million pounds net, wet-in-shell, 5.5 million pounds above the last crop
year, according to the Hawaii Agricultural Statistics Service. Average prices
increased by 2.4 cents to 71.3 cents per pound on a 25% moisture equivalent
basis.
Farming costs, particularly materials and labor, do generally reflect
inflationary trends as do general and administrative costs.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 ("OBRA") provided that some
publicly traded limited partnerships, including the Partnership, were to be
taxed as corporations beginning on January 1, 1998. However, this provision has
been modified by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (1997 Act). The 1997 Act
provides that some publicly traded partnerships, such as Mauna Loa Macadamia
Partners, may elect to continue to be taxed as partnerships rather than be taxed
as corporations. In such event the partnership will be subject to a 3.5% tax on
gross income. This new tax on gross income will have a slight negative impact
upon the Partnership's profit and cash flow compared to current and past years,
but will have a positive impact compared to being taxed as a corporation. The
effect of not being taxed as a corporation in future years may have an impact on
some of the Partnership's accounting methods, specifically the deferred income
tax liability currently shown on the balance sheet. These changes to the
Partnership are currently being examined by management.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February 1997, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) NO. 128, Earnings per Share,
the provisions of which are effective for fiscal periods ending after December
15, 1997. This Statement establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share. The future adoption of this pronouncement is not expected
to have a material effect on the Partnership's presentation of earnings per unit
amounts.
REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, the
provisions of which are effective for fiscal periods beginning after December
15, 1997. The Statement requires that all items that are required to be
recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement that is displayed
11
with the same prominence as other financial statements. The future adoption of
this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Partnership's presentation of its results of operations.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information,, the provisions of which are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This Statement establishes
standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for
related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. The Partnership has not determined the impact that the adoption of
this new accounting standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.
