F-3 Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trust I NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE - ---------------------------- Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trust I (the Trust) is a statutory business trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 19, 1996 for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing its 8.36% Trust Originated Preferred Securities (TOPrS) and its 8.36% Common Securities (the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities, respectively), (ii) purchasing the 8.36% Partnership Preferred Securities (the Partnership Preferred Securities), representing the limited partner interests in HEI Preferred Funding, LP (the Partnership), with the proceeds from the sale of Trust Preferred Securities and Common Securities, and (iii) engaging in only those other activities necessary or incidental thereto. Hycap Management, Inc. (Hycap), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (the Company) and sole general partner of the Partnership, has paid compensation to the underwriters in connection with the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities, which closed on February 4, 1997. The Company or Hycap has paid all expenses relating to the issuance of the securities and the operation of the Trust. Thus, these expenses of the Trust are not reflected on the Trust's financial statements. The Company has agreed to (i) pay all fees and expenses related to the organization and operations of the Trust (including taxes, duties, assessments, or government charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed by the United States or any other domestic taxing authority upon the Trust) and the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities, (ii) be responsible for all debts and other obligations of the Trust (other than with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities and Common Securities) and (iii) indemnify the trustees and certain other persons. The Company has invested capital in Hycap as needed. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ---------------------------------------------- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the Trust's financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of earnings for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Trust was formed under Delaware law on December 19, 1996, but engaged in no activity until it was capitalized through the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities and Trust Common Securities on February 4, 1997 (inception) with the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Common Securities. Accordingly, only the current period's results, commencing February 4, 1997 (inception) are presented. INVESTMENT The investment in Partnership Preferred Securities represents limited partner interests in the Partnership and is accounted for under the equity method. INCOME TAXES The Trust does not incur any income tax liabilities. Such liabilities are incurred directly by the security holders. F-4 (3) INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP PREFERRED SECURITIES - -------------------------------------------------- The trust holds 4,123,720 8.36% Partnership Preferred Securities, $25 liquidation preference per security. The scheduled distribution payment dates and redemption provisions of the Partnership Preferred Securities, which are redeemable on or after February 4, 2002 at the option of the Partnership, correspond to the distribution payment dates and redemption provisions of the Trust Preferred Securities. Upon any redemption of the Partnership Preferred Securities, the Trust Preferred Securities will be redeemed. The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, the payment of distributions by the Partnership on the Partnership Preferred Securities if, as, and when declared by the general partner of the Partnership out of funds legally available therefor, and payments upon liquidation of the Partnership or the redemption of the Partnership Preferred Securities to the extent the Partnership has funds legally available therefor. (4) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - ------------------------ TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES The Trust issued 4,000,000 8.36% Trust Preferred Securities, $25 liquidation amount per security, in a public offering which closed on February 4, 1997 for an aggregate purchase price of $100 million. The Company or Hycap paid all the expenses of the offering. The Trust Preferred Securities are redeemable on or after February 4, 2002 at the option of the Trust, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to $25 per security. Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly if, as, and when the Trust has funds available for payment. Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities have limited voting rights and are not entitled to vote, to appoint, remove or replace, or to increase or decrease the number of trustees, which voting rights are vested exclusively in the holder of the Trust Common Securities. Under certain circumstances, the Trust Preferred Securities have preferential rights to payment relative to the Trust Common Securities. The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, the payment in full of all distributions and other payments on the Trust Preferred Securities to the extent that the Trust has funds legally available therefor. This guarantee and the partnership distribution guarantee are subordinated to all other liabilities of the Company and rank pari passu with the Company's most senior preferred stock, of which there is none currently outstanding.

F-8 HEI Preferred Funding, LP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1997 (1) ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE - ---------------------------- HEI Preferred Funding, LP (the Partnership) is a limited partnership that was formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on December 23, 1996 for the exclusive purposes of (a) purchasing certain debt instruments of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (the Company) and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the Affiliate Investment Instruments) and certain U.S. government obligations and commercial paper of unaffiliated entities (Eligible Debt Securities) with the proceeds from (i) the sale of its 8.36% Partnership Preferred Securities (the Partnership Preferred Securities), representing limited partner interests in the Partnership, to Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trust I (the Trust) and (ii) the sale of the general partner interest in the Partnership, (b) receiving interest and other payments on the Affiliate Investment Instruments and the Eligible Debt Securities held by the Partnership from time to time, (c) making distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities and distributions on the general partner's interest in the Partnership if, as, and when declared by the general partner in its sole discretion, (d) subject to the restrictions and conditions contained in the agreement of limited partnership, making additional investments in Affiliate Investment Instruments and Eligible Debt Securities and disposing of any such investments, and (e) except as otherwise limited in the agreement of limited partnership, entering into, making and performing all contracts and other undertakings, and engaging in those activities and transactions as the general partner deems necessary or advisable for carrying out the purposes of the Partnership. Hycap Management, Inc. (Hycap), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole general partner of the Partnership. Hycap, in its capacity as sole general partner of the Partnership, has agreed to (i) pay all fees and expenses related to the organization and operations of the Partnership, including taxes, duties, assessments, or government charges (other than withholding taxes or taxes or charges imposed by reason of the transfer of the Partnership Preferred Securities) imposed by the United States or any other domestic taxing authority upon the Partnership, (ii) be responsible for all debts and other obligations of the Partnership (other than with respect to the Partnership Preferred Securities) and (iii) indemnify certain officers and agents of the Partnership. These obligations of Hycap have been guaranteed by the Company. The Company or Hycap has paid all expenses relating to the issuance of securities and all operating expenses of the Partnership. Thus, these expenses of the Partnership are not reflected on the Partnership's financial statements. The Company has funded Hycap as needed. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ---------------------------------------------- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the Partnership financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of earnings for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Partnership was formed on December 23, 1996, but engaged in no activity until it was capitalized through the issuance of its Partnership Preferred Securities and general partner interest on February 4, 1997 (inception) with the proceeds from the sale of the Partnership Preferred Securities and the general partner interest. Accordingly, only the current period's results, commencing February 4, 1997 (inception) are presented. INVESTMENTS The Partnership's investments in affiliate debentures and corporate commercial paper are classified as held-to-maturity and are recorded at cost. F-9 INCOME TAXES The Partnership does not incur any income tax liabilities. Such liabilities are incurred directly by the partners. (3) INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE DEBENTURES - -------------------------------------- The Partnership holds debentures of the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The debentures have a term of approximately 20 years and bear interest at 8.36% per annum. The interest payment dates and redemption provisions of the debentures, which are redeemable at the option of the Company and its subsidiary on or after February 4, 2002, correspond to the distribution payment dates and redemption provisions of the Partnership Preferred Securities, respectively. Interest and redemption payments on the subsidiary debentures are guaranteed by the Company on a subordinated basis. (4) PARTNERS' CAPITAL - --------------------- The Partnership issued 4,123,720 8.36% Partnership Preferred Securities, $25 liquidation preference per security, to the Trust on February 4, 1997 for an aggregate purchase price of $103,093,000. Distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly if, as, and when declared by the general partner. The Partnership Preferred Securities are redeemable on or after February 4, 2002 at the option of the Partnership, at a redemption price equal to $25 per security plus unpaid distributions. Except as provided in the agreement of limited partnership and Partnership Preferred Securities Guarantee Agreement, and as otherwise provided by law, the holders of the Partnership Preferred Securities have no voting rights. The Company has guaranteed the payment of distributions by the Partnership on the Partnership Preferred Securities if, as, and when declared out of funds legally available therefor and payments upon liquidation of the Partnership or the redemption of the Partnership Preferred Securities to the extent of funds legally available therefor. This guarantee is subordinated to all other liabilities of the Company and ranks pari passu with the most senior preferred stock issued by the Company, of which there is none currently outstanding, and with the Trust Guarantee and the Investment Guarantee. The Partnership sold its general partner interest to Hycap on February 4, 1997 for $18,193,000. Subject to the prior payment or provision for payment of all distributions theretofore accumulated, the general partner, in its sole discretion, may declare distributions payable to the general partner out of funds legally available therefor. (5) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - --------------------------------------- As of December 31, 1997, the carrying values of cash and corporate commercial paper approximated their fair values. The fair value of the affiliate debentures was based on the quoted market prices of the 8.36% Trust Originated Preferred Securities issued by the Trust in a public offering which closed on February 4, 1997. Limitations. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based - ------------ on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Partnership's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Partnership's financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are provided without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered.
