MAUNA LOA MACADAMIA PARTNERS, L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Balance Sheets
as of September 30, 1995, September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1994 and
the related unaudited Statements of Income, Partners' Capital and Cash
Flows for the periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normally recurring accruals, necessary
to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1995,
September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1994 and the results of operations,
changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994.
(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 1994 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.
The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("FAS No. 109") in 1993 and applied
the provisions of FAS No. 109 retroactively to January 1, 1988. Prior
year financial statements were restated to give effect to this
standard. The Partnership is required to accrue a deferred income tax
expense, or credit, for any changes in the deferred income tax
liability balance. This charge, or credit, does not have a
relationship to income, or loss, before taxes.
(6) On August 18, 1995, the third quarter cash distribution was declared in
the amount of five cents (5 cents) per Class A Unit, payable on November
15, 1995 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on
September 29, 1995.
(7) On September 30, 1995, 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 SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994
For the first three months and first nine months of 1995 and 1994, nut
production, price and revenues are summarized below:
For the Three Months
Ended September 30,
-------------------------
1995 1994 Change
------ ------ ------
Nuts harvested (000's Lbs. WIS) 6,656 3,313 + 101%
Nut price ($/Lb.) .5799 .6021 - 4%
----- -----
Net nut revenues ($000's) 3,860 1,995 + 93%
===== =====
For the Nine Months
Ended September 30,
-------------------------
1995 1994 Change
------ ------ ------
Nuts harvested (000's Lbs. WIS) 11,251 6,917 + 63%
Nut price ($/Lb.) .5773 .6021 - 4%
------ -----
Gross nut revenues ($000's) 6,495 4,165 + 56%
Less portion reported on
the balance sheet ($000's) - (53)
------ -----
Net nut revenues ($000's) 6,495 4,112 + 58%
====== =====
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 penalize the Ka'u
orchards (from insufficient moisture) while periods of very wet weather on the
island tend to penalize 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 third quarter and for the first nine
months of 1995 reflected a combination of weather and tree maturation. Because
of the continuation of unusually dry weather in the Ka'u area, however, fourth
quarter production is expected to be lower than normal this year.
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.
9
10
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 and records an adjustment in that quarter to
apply the revised price estimate to all nuts sold earlier in that year as well.
Production costs (reported as "cost of goods sold") are based on annualized
standard unit costs. As with estimated interim nut prices, these standards are
updated when new information becomes available. With a standard costing
system, any difference between costs incurred during an interim period and
costs charged to expense during that period is recorded on the balance sheet as
an annualized cost adjustment.
For the Three Months
Ended September 30,
--------------------------
1995 1994 Change
------ ------ ------
Production costs incurred ($000's) 2,438 2,026 + 20%
Portion charged to balance sheet ($000's) (899) 172 NM
------ ------
Portion charged to expense ($000's) 3,337 1,854 + 80%
Nuts harvested (000's Lbs WIS) 6,656 3,313 + 101%
------ ------
Average unit cost (per Lb.) 50.1 cents 56.0 cents - 11%
====== ======
For the Nine Months
Ended September 30,
--------------------------
1995 1994 Change
------ ------ ------
Production costs incurred ($000's) 5,680 5,144 + 10%
Portion charged to balance sheet ($000's) 354 1,467 - 76%
------ ------
Portion charged to expense ($000's) 5,326 3,677 + 45%
Nuts harvested (000's Lbs WIS) 11,251 6,917 + 63%
------ ------
Average unit cost (per Lb.) 47.3 cents 53.2 cents - 11%
====== ======
The increases in total production costs resulted from substantially higher
production, which raises both harvesting and husking costs. The decreases in
average unit costs primarily results from differences in the mix of orchards
harvested in the respective periods, as a separate standardized unit cost is
used for each orchard (based on that orchard's expected full year production
and farming costs).
General and administrative expenses are roughly comparable year over
year. The reduction in interest expense reflects reduced borrowing needs as a
result of good production volume and therefore nut sales revenue in the fourth
quarter of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995.
10
11
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 arising from the normal seasonality of macadamia nut
farming. Line of credit drawings decreased from $1.2 million at September 30,
1994 to $0.8 million at September 30, 1995 due primarily to cash flow from
operations having exceeded payments of cash distributions during that period.
There were no drawings from February 1995 through June 1995 and none are
expected for November or December of 1995.
Cash flow from the Ka'u and Mauna Kea orchards acquired in October 1989 was
supplemented through 1994 by cash flow warranty payments from the sellers of
those orchards.
It is the opinion of management that the Partnership has adequate borrowing
capacity available to meet anticipated working capital needs. Except for
opportunistic orchard acquisitions, the Partnership has made no major capital
expenditures since inception and has none currently planned.
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.
The large majority of the world's macadamia nuts are grown in Hawaii and in
Australia, with a handful of other countries accounting for the remainder.
Although Hawaii has led the world in production for many years, it appears that
Australian macadamia nut production has grown significantly in recent years and
that Australia may overtake Hawaii in production as early as this year.
Inasmuch as only an estimated 40% of Australian macadamia nut trees are now at
full maturity, it is likely that Australian macadamia nut production will
continue to grow significantly over the next several years.
As a result, it is likely that macadamia nut supplies will be abundant for the
next several years and that macadamia nut prices will experience pressure if
that expected increased supply of macadamia nuts is not matched by commensurate
increases in worldwide demand for macadamia nuts.
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") provides that some
publicly traded limited partnerships, including the Partnership, are to be
taxed as corporations beginning in 1998. If this provision is not modified and
if the Partnership does not modify its operating structure prior to 1998, the
amount of cash available for distribution will be reduced materially.
11
12
As a result of this OBRA provision, the Partnership implemented Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("FAS No. 109") in
1993 and applied the provisions of FAS No. 109 retroactively to January 1,
1988. Prior year financial statements were restated to give effect to this
standard. The Partnership is required to accrue a deferred income tax expense,
or credit, for changes in the deferred income tax liability balance. This
charge, or credit, does not have a relationship to income, or loss, before
taxes.
