NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
First Hawaiian, Inc. and Subsidiaries

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
      The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
accounts of First Hawaiian, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries - First
Hawaiian Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Pioneer Federal Savings Bank
and its wholly-owned subsidiary; First Hawaiian Creditcorp, Inc.; First
Hawaiian Leasing, Inc.; and FHI International, Inc.  All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
      Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for 1995 have
been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation.  Such
reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated net income as previously
reported.
      In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which included only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected
in the consolidated financial statements.

2. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
      Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights."  SFAS 122 amends SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking
Activities," to require that mortgage banking enterprises recognize as separate
assets rights to service mortgage loans for others.  SFAS No. 122 also requires
that mortgage banking enterprises assess capitalized mortgage servicing rights
based on the fair value of those rights on a disaggregated basis.  The adoption
of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company.
      Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures."  SFAS No. 114 requires that impaired loans be measured based on
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price, or at the
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  The adoption
of SFAS No. 114 did not result in additional provisions for loan and lease
losses primarily because the majority of impaired loan valuations continue to
be based on the fair value of the collateral.
      The provision for loan and lease losses charged to expense is based
upon the Company's historical loss experience and estimates of future loan and
lease losses in the current loan and lease portfolio, including the evaluation
of impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No.  114.  A loan is considered to be
impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that
the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan.  Impairment is primarily measured based on the
fair value of the collateral.  Impairment losses are included in the provision
for loan and lease losses.  SFAS No. 114 does not apply to large groups of
smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for
impairment, except for those loans restructured under a troubled debt
structuring.  Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include certain
smaller balance commercial loans, consumer loans and residential real estate
loans, and are not included in the data that follows.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


NET INCOME

The Company recorded consolidated net income for the first quarter of 1996 of
$20,203,000 compared to $18,770,000 for the first quarter of 1995, an increase
of 7.6%.  On a per share basis, consolidated net income for the first quarter
of 1996 was $.65, an increase of 10.2% over the same period in 1995.  The
proportionately greater increase in earnings per share was attributable to the
fewer average number of shares outstanding in 1996 as compared to 1995, as a
result of the Company's stock repurchase plan which authorized the total
repurchase of up to 1.6 million shares, or five percent of the Company's
approximately 31 million shares outstanding.

On an annualized basis, the Company's return on average total assets for the
first quarter of 1996 was 1.11% compared to 1.00% for the same period in 1995
and return on average stockholders' equity was 12.44% compared to 12.07% for
the same period in 1995.  The increase in return on average total assets was
primarily attributable to the increase in earnings, coupled with a 3.3%
decrease in average total assets.  The increase in return on average
stockholders' equity was due to the increase in earnings and the stock
repurchase plan previously discussed.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $2,265,000,
or 3.0%, to $76,606,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, up from
$74,341,000 for the same period in 1995.  The net interest margin was 4.58% for
the first quarter of 1996, up 24 basis points (1% equals 100 basis points) over
the first quarter of 1995.  Both the yield on average earning assets and rate
paid on funding sources decreased during the first quarter of 1996 as compared
with the same period in 1995 due to a lower interest rate environment.
However, the 27 basis point decrease in the rate paid on funding sources
outpaced the decrease in the yield on average earning assets of 3 basis points,
resulting in a favorable impact on the net interest margin.  The decrease in
the rate paid on funding sources was due to interest rate swaps designed to
mitigate the impact on the net interest margin from declining interest rates.

Average earning assets decreased by $219,542,000, or 3.2%, for the first
quarter compared to the same period in 1995.  In the second quarter of 1995,
the Company securitized approximately $490,000,000 of adjustable rate mortgage
loans with the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") in an effort to
increase its funding capacity and liquidity.  The securities backed by these
loans are held by the Company and were reclassified to the investment security
portfolio.  The investment security portfolio reflected an increase of only
$53,174,000 over the same period in 1995 despite the reclassification of the
securitized loans.  The investment portfolio was allowed to run-off as
securities matured since the securitized loans provided the necessary
collateral for public deposits.  This accounts for the decline in average
earning assets for the quarter compared to the same period in 1995.  In
addition, the increase in the overall yield on the investment security
portfolio, compared to the first quarter of 1995, was primarily attributable to
the higher percentage of mortgage pass-through certificates in the portfolio.

Excluding the effect of such securitization, average loans and leases for the
first quarter of 1996 reflected a slight increase over the same period in 1995.
The Company continues its efforts to diversify the loan portfolio, both
geographically and by industry.  Also, the mix of average earning assets
continues to change (excluding the effect of the loan securitization), with
higher-yielding average loans and leases representing 83.4% of average earning
assets for the first quarter of 1996, as compared to 81.0% for the same period
in 1995.

Average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities decreased by $263,720,000, or
4.4%, for the first quarter of 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995.
As a result of depositors seeking higher yields, the mix of average
interest-bearing deposits and liabilities changed with higher-yielding average
time deposits representing 37.0% of average interest-bearing deposits and
liabilities for the first quarter of 1996, up from 31.3% for the same period in
1995.

The following table sets forth the condensed consolidated average balance
sheets, an analysis of interest income/expense and average yield/rate for each
major category of earning assets and interest-bearing deposits and liabilities
for the periods indicated on a taxable equivalent basis.  The tax equivalent
adjustment is made for items exempt from Federal income taxes (assuming a 35%
tax rate for 1996 and 1995) to make them comparable with taxable items before 
any income taxes are applied.

The loan and lease portfolio is the largest component of earning assets and
accounts for the greatest portion of total interest income.  At March 31, 1996,
total loans and leases were $5,206,288,000, a decrease of 1.0% from December
31, 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to paydown of a large real estate -
construction loan.  In June 1995, the Company securitized $490,000,000 in
adjustable rate mortgage loans in an effort to increase its funding capacity
and liquidity.  These loans were reclassified in the investment securities
portfolio at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.  If these securitized loans
had been included in the loan category at March 31, 1996, total loans and
leases at that date would have reflected a slight decrease from March 31, 1995.

Total loans and leases at March 31, 1996, represented 70.1% of total assets,
79.0% of total earning assets and 98.5% of total deposits compared to 69.5% of
total assets, 77.7% of total earning assets and 98.2% of total deposits at
December 31, 1995.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to
multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be
similarly impacted by economic or other conditions.  At March 31, 1996,
commercial real estate loans totalled $1,065,006,000, or 20.5%, of total loans
and leases.  The Company has selectively participated as a lender on commercial
properties on the mainland United States, principally on the west coast.  Such
loans totalled $47,541,000 at March 31, 1996, a slight decrease from December
31, 1995.  At March 31, 1996, the largest concentration of commercial real
estate loans to a single borrower was $34,524,000.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS, Continued

Nonperforming assets decreased from $92,227,000 at December 31, 1995 to
$90,360,000 at March 31, 1996.

The decrease in the nonaccrual real estate - commercial category and
corresponding increase in the other real estate owned category were due to the
foreclosure of a real estate - commercial loan with a carrying value of
$4,064,000 in March 1996.  In addition, partial paydowns on two nonaccrual real
estate - commercial loans totalling $6,552,000 contributed to the decrease in
nonperforming assets.

Loans and leases past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totalled
$22,360,000 at March 31, 1996, a decrease of $6,430,000, or 22.3%, compared to
December 31, 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to various loans totalling
$6,376,000 which were placed on nonaccrual status at March 31, 1996.  All of
the loans which are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are in
management's judgment adequately collateralized and in the process of
collection.

In recent years, the level of the Company's nonperforming assets and
charge-offs has been adversely affected by the prolonged economic downturn in
Hawaii and related weakness in the local real estate market.  Although the
Company believes that the Hawaii economy has begun to show signs of
improvement, and certain local real estate sectors evidence signs of having
stabilized, the recovery of the Hawaii economy has been slow and the effects of
the economic downturn may continue to affect the level of nonperforming assets
and related charge-offs in future periods.

Average interest-bearing deposits increased $67,737,000, or 1.6%, over the
first quarter of 1995.  The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was
due to the purchase of deposits from a financial services loan company in the
fourth quarter of 1995 and various deposit product programs initiated by the
Company in the latter part of 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, both of which
increased the overall interest rates paid on time certificate of deposits. 
With the purchase of deposits and depositors seeking higher yields through the
aforementioned deposit product programs, the mix of average interest-bearing
deposits changed, with higher yielding average time certificate of deposits
representing 47.9% of average interest-bearing deposits in the first quarter of
1996 as compared to 43.1% in the first quarter of 1995.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES, Continued

For the first quarter of 1996, the provision for loan and lease losses was
$3,322,000, a decrease of $18,000, or .5%, as compared to the same period in
1995.  Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 1996 were $2,470,000, a
decrease of $884,000, or 26.4%, compared to the same period in 1995.  The
allowance for loan and lease losses increased to 103% of nonperforming loans
and leases at March 31, 1996 (excluding 90 days past due accruing loans and
leases) compared to 95% at December 31, 1995, reflecting the decrease in
nonperforming loans and leases in the first quarter of 1996.

In management's judgment, the allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate
to absorb potential losses currently inherent in the portfolio, however,
changes in prevailing economic conditions in the Company's markets could result
in changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs in the future
and, accordingly, changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Exclusive of securities transactions, noninterest income totalled $23,948,000
for the first quarter of 1996, an increase of 4.2% over the same period in
1995.

Trust and Investments Division income increased $143,000, or 2.3%, for the
first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $320,000, or 5.1%, for the first
quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  This decrease was
primarily attributable to a decrease in fees earned on corporate demand deposit
accounts in the first quarter of 1996.

Other service charges and fees increased $1,563,000, or 18.9%, for the first
quarter of 1996 over the same period in 1995.  This increase was primarily the
result of higher merchant discount fees and annuity and mutual fund sales.

Security transactions resulted in net pre-tax gains of $20,000 for the first
quarter of 1996 compared to net pre-tax gains of $1,000 for the same period in
1995.

Other noninterest income decreased $420,000, or 20.3%, for the first quarter of
1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  This decrease was primarily
attributable to a decrease in lease termination and origination fee income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES

Noninterest expenses totalled $67,406,000 for the first quarter of 1996, an
increase of 6.4% over the first quarter of 1995.

Total personnel expenses (salaries and wages and employee benefits) increased
$2,911,000, or 9.6%, for the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the same
period in 1995.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in costs
associated with the curtailment of a noncontributory pension plan in the fourth
quarter of 1995, which was replaced with a 401(k) match and a money purchase
plan, effective January 1, 1996.  Also, the higher salaries and wages reflect
normal merit increases.

Occupancy expense for the first quarter of 1996 increased $19,000, or .3%, over
the same period in 1995.

Equipment expense decreased $905,000, or 14.2%, for the first quarter of 1996
compared to the same period in 1995, primarily as a result of lower building
maintenance and service contract expenses in 1996.

Other noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 1996 increased $2,036,000,
or 10.1%, over the same period in 1995, primarily as a result of a pre-tax loss
of $1,925,000 recognized on the sale of a certain leveraged lease.  On an
after-tax basis the Company recorded a gain of $399,000 due to a net tax
benefit of $2,344,000 resulting from the reversal of the related tax
liabilities.  Excluding the aforementioned pre-tax loss, other noninterest
expenses increased $111,000, or .6%, over the same period in 1995.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate (exclusive of the tax equivalent
adjustment) for the first quarter of 1996 was 31.0% as compared to 35.4% for
the same period in 1995.  The decrease in the effective income tax rate was
primarily due to the reversal of deferred tax benefits (reflecting a change in
the State tax laws) related to the aforementioned leveraged lease sale.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

Stockholders' equity was $657,229,000 at March 31, 1996, a 1.2% increase from
$649,537,000 at December 31, 1995.  Average stockholders' equity represented
8.89% of average total assets for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 8.30%
in the same quarter last year.  There was no significant change in the
Company's liquidity position during the first quarter of 1996.

(1)      Risk-based capital guidelines as established by the Federal Reserve
         Board for bank holding companies require minimum Tier 1 and Total
         capital ratios of 4% and 8%, respectively.

(2)      The Federal Reserve Board has stated that the Leverage Ratio of 3% is
         the minimum requirement for the most highly rated banking
         organizations which are not experiencing or anticipating significant
         growth.  Other banking organizations are expected to maintain leverage
         ratios of at least one to two percent higher.
