NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements of
ML Macadamia Orchards, L.P. ("the Partnership") include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly its
financial position as of June 30, 2000, June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999 and
the results of operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the period
ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year or for any future period.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and the Notes to Financial Statements filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
(2) ACQUISITION
On May 1, 2000, the Partnership purchased 142 acres of mature macadamia trees
and substantially all of the assets used in the macadamia farming business from
Ka'u Agribusiness Company, Inc., Ka'u Sugar, Inc., Mauna Kea Macadamia Orchards,
Inc., and Mauna Kea Agribusiness Company, Inc., all related entities. The
farming assets consist of the farming equipment, vehicles, a husking plant,
irrigation well, leasehold improvements, office furniture and equipment and
inventories related to macadamia farming. The purchase price was $8.9 million
dollars and was paid using $4.9 million in cash and a loan from Pacific Coast
Farm Credit of $4 million.
The initial purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis, pending a
final determination, to assets acquired based on estimated fair value. The
initial allocated fair value of assets acquired is summarized as follows:
Inventory $ 127,000
Nursery 52,000
Property, plant and equipment 9,176,000
Current liabilities (427,000)
-------------------
Total $ 8,928,000
===================
Pro forma results of operations for the Partnership, assuming the acquisition of
the assets had occurred at the beginning of the periods indicated below, are as
follows:
Six months ended June 30,
2000 1999
----------------- -----------------
(in thousands, except per Unit data)
Revenue $ 6,273 $ 8,624
Net income $ 492 $ 1,280
Net income per Class A Unit $ 0.06 $ 0.17
7
The unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only
and do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually
would have resulted had the acquisition been in effect at the beginning of each
period presented, or of future results of operations of the entities.
(3) SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Partnership has two reportable segments, the owned-orchard segment and the
farming segment, which are organized on the basis of revenues and assets. The
owned-orchard segment derives its revenues from the sale of macadamia nuts grown
in orchards owned or leased by the Partnership. The farming segment derives its
revenues from the farming of macadamia orchards owned by other growers. It also
farms those orchards owned by the Partnership.
Management evaluates the performance of each segment on the basis of operating
income. The Partnership accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost.
Such intersegment sales and transfers are eliminated in consolidation.
The Partnership's reportable segments are distinct business enterprises that
offer different products or services. Revenues from the owned-orchard segment
are subject to long-term nut purchase contracts and tend to vary from year to
year due to changes in the calculated nut price per pound. The farming segment's
revenues are based on long-term farming contracts which generate a farming
profit based on a percentage of farming cost or based on a fixed fee per acre
and tend to be less variable than revenues from the owned-orchard segment.
The following is a summary of each reportable segment's operating income and the
segment's assets as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2000. The contract
farming segment results of operations include the period May 1, 2000 (date of
acquisition) through June 30, 2000.

All revenues are from sources within the United States.
(4) INTERIM REPORTING
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.
(5) LONG-TERM CREDIT
As of June 30, 2000, the Partnership had a $4 million promissory note
outstanding, which was issued on May 2, 2000 in conjunction with the acquisition
discussed above. The note is scheduled to mature in 2010 and bears interest at
rates from 8.53 percent to 9.16 percent.
(6) PARTNERS' CAPITAL
All capital allocations reflect the general partner's 1% equity interest and the
limited partners' 99% percent equity interest. Net income per Class A Unit is
calculated by dividing 99% of Partnership net income by the average number of
Class A Units outstanding for the period.
(7) CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
On May 12, 2000, a second quarter cash distribution was declared in the amount
of twelve and one-half cents ($0.125) per Class A Unit, payable on August 15,
2000 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2000.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
---------------------------------------------
On May 1, 2000, the Partnership completed the purchase of the macadamia farming
operations from four subsidiaries of C. Brewer and Company, Ltd. The acquired
assets consist of 142 acres of macadamia orchards, farming contracts, farming
equipment, vehicles, a husking plant, irrigation well, office buildings, garages
and warehouses, office furniture and equipment and material inventories related
to macadamia farming. All the assets and operations are located on the island of
Hawaii. Effective with the acquisition, the Partnership now performs all the
farming operations for its own 4,169 acres and for approximately 3,000
additional acres owned by other growers.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ML Macadamia Orchards' net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $62,000, a
three-fold increase over the $16,000 recorded in same period in 1999. Net income
per Class A Unit was $0.01 compared to last year's net income of less than
$0.01. Net cash flow per Class A Unit increased to $0.04 from $0.01.
Revenues rose to $1.2 million, 100% more than last year's second quarter. The
second quarter normally accounts for less than 4% of the total year's harvest
and revenues. It marks the end of the crop year that began the previous July,
and harvesting is usually at a minimum.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $127,000, down from
$557,000 recorded in the first half of 1999. Net income per Class A Unit was
$0.02 compared to $0.07 last year and net cash flow per Class A Unit was $0.07
compared to $0.14.
Revenues for the first six months of 2000 were $2.7 million, 33% lower than the
$4.1 million recorded in the first half of 1999. The first half of 1999 was
larger than normal because the fall-winter harvest continued to come in very
heavy after the beginning of the calendar year.
OWNED-ORCHARD SEGMENT
For the three months and the six months ending June 30, 2000 and 1999, nut
production, nut prices and revenues are summarized below:
For the Three Months
Ended June 30, Change
------------------------------ -------------
2000 1999
-------------- -------------
Nut harvested (000's pounds WIS) 1,289 965 + 34%
Nut price (per pound) $ 0.5826 $ 0.6357 - 7%

-------------- -------------
Nut harvested (000's pounds WIS) 3,847 6,369 - 40%
Nut price (per pound) $ 0.5831 $ 0.6375 - 8%
-------------- -------------
Net nut sales ($000's) 2,243 4,060 - 45%
============== =============
Production for the three-month period ending June 30, 2000 was approximately 50%
higher than the historical average for this quarter and 34% higher than the
three-month period ending June 30, 1999. The six-month period ending June 30,
2000 was 40% lower than the same period in 1999. The production for the second
quarter 2000 was near the historical average for this period. The production for
the six-month period ending June 30, 1999 was the highest in the Partnership's
history for this period due to the winter crop falling heavier in the first
quarter than normal.
The average nut price received for the second quarter 2000 was $0.5912, a 7%
decline from the second quarter 1999. For the six-month period, nut prices
declined by 8% compared to the same period in 1999. The Partnership's nut price
is determined by a formula which is weighted 50% on the two-year trailing
average of USDA reported prices and 50% on the current year processing and
marketing results of Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Corporation ("Mauna Loa"), our
exclusive purchaser. The USDA portion of the current year's nut price will be 7%
lower than the previous year, and the Mauna Loa portion of the current year's
nut price is estimated to be lower by 4%. However, the final nut price for the
year is not known until the completion of the year, when Mauna Loa's books have
been closed and audited and that portion of the nut price is determined. For the
full year 1999, the actual average nut price received by the Partnership was
$0.6238.
Prior to the acquisition of the macadamia farming operations on May 1, 2000, all
production activities were performed under long-term farming contracts.
Production costs both before and after the acquisition are based on annualized
standard unit costs for interim reporting periods. Total production costs for
the owned-orchards were higher for the three-month period in 2000 compared to
the same period in 1999 due to the larger harvests. For the six-month period,
farming costs for the current year were lower due to less production.
CROP YEAR PRODUCTION RESULTS
Macadamia nut production for the 1999-2000 crop year (July 1 to June 30) totaled
23.0 million pounds, 15% more than the 1998-99 crop year, and marks the largest
crop-year harvest in the Partnership's fourteen-year history. The Keaau and
Mauna Kea regions benefited from dryer weather early in the growing season and
recorded harvests well above their historical averages. The Ka'u region has been
suffering from drought conditions since December of 1997. The region received
enough rainfall at the beginning of 1999 to generate a slightly less than
average harvest for the 1999-2000 crop year. The 1998-99 crop year in Ka'u was
30% below its average due to the drought. Comparative crop year results by
orchard area are shown below (in thousands of pounds):

============ ============= ============
FARMING SEGMENT
This is the first quarter that the Partnership has been involved in the farming
activity, which resulted from the May 1, 2000 acquisition. Revenue generated
from the farming of macadamia orchards owned by other growers was $427,000 for
the second quarter 2000. Farming expenses for the same period were $442,000,
which included $105,000 of depreciation expense.
Administrative service revenue of $56,000 was earned by the farming operation's
accounting office as a result of accounting and data processing services being
provided to the previous owner during a period of transition.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
The Partnership recorded interest expense of $77,000 for the second quarter
2000. This was due to a new long-term loan used to acquire the farming
operations and to the assumption of several equipment leases. There was no
interest expense for the three and six month periods in 1999.
Interest income increased by $82,000 for the first half of 2000 compared to 1999
as a result of higher cash balances generated by cash from operations.
Other income of $104,000 was recorded in the second quarter of 2000 due to a
claim filed on a crop insurance policy for the 1999-2000. Production in some
fields in the Ka'u region were lower than their ten-year average by more than a
25% deductible due to the drought in that region.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash provided from operations of $2.9
million was derived principally from a decrease in accounts receivable less an
increase in the annualized cost adjustment and a decrease in accounts payable.
Cash provided by operations was used to pay distributions to Unitholders of $1.7
million. During the period the Partnership borrowed $4.0 million under its new
Credit Agreement which was used to finance acquisitions of $8.9 million.
At June 30, 2000, the Partnership had $4.2 million in outstanding long-term debt
representing a $4.0 million ten-year note under a new Credit Agreement and
$200,000 of assumed capital leases. The Credit Agreement contains certain
restrictions, which are discussed in Part II - Item 2 below.
Macadamia nut farming is seasonal, with production peaking in the fall and
winter. However, farming operations continue year round. As a result, additional
working capital is required for much of the year.
12
The Partnership meets its working capital needs with cash on hand, and when
necessary, through short-term borrowings under a $5.0 million revolving line of
credit. The Partnership had a cash balance of $1.5 million at June 30, 2000, and
there were no line of credit drawings outstanding. The Partnership anticipates
borrowing from the revolving line of credit during the last five months of the
year to fund working capital needs arising from the normal seasonal requirements
of macadamia nut farming.
It is the opinion of management that the Partnership has adequate borrowing
capacity available to meet anticipated working capital needs.
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
For the third consecutive year, the Ka'u region is suffering from drought
conditions, receiving nine inches of rainfall for the first six months of the
year. One-third of the acres in Ka'u have irrigation, but normal production on
the remaining acres cannot be sustained, and a continuing drought will have a
negative impact on the region's production for the forthcoming 2000-2001 crop
year.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Partnership is exposed to market risks resulting from changes in interest
rates. The Partnership has market risk exposure on its Credit Agreement due
to its variable rate pricing that is based on rates based on LIBOR, the Farm
Credit Discount Note Rate and the Farm Credit Medium Term Note Rate. As of
June 30, 2000, a one percent increase or decrease in the applicable rate
under the Credit agreement will result in an interest expense fluctuation of
approximately $40,000.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
In connection with the Credit Agreement with Pacific Coast Farm Credit Services,
certain restrictions are placed on the Partnership in regard to indebtedness,
