MAUNA LOA MACADAMIA PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements of Mauna Loa Macadamia Partners, L.P. ("the Partnership")
include all adjustments, consisting only of normally recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly its financial position as of
June 30, 1998, June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1997 and the results of
operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the periods
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations for the period
ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year or for any future period.
(2) 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 1997 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. 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.
(5) On June 26, 1998, the second quarter cash distribution was declared in
the amount of seven and one-half cents (7.5CENTS) per Class A Unit,
payable on August 14, 1998 to unitholders of record as of the close of
business on July 10, 1998.
(6) On June 26, 1998, a special meeting of the Partnership's unitholders was
held for the purpose of voting on three separate matters, the results of
which are as follows:
1. Approval of the Merger Proposal by and between the Partnership and C.
Brewer Homes, Inc.:

7
Since the Merger Proposal was not approved, all costs related to the
merger were expensed in the quarter ending June 30, 1998.
(7) In December 1997, the Partnership elected to continue to be taxed as a
partnership rather than to be taxed as a corporation, as allowed by the
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. This election was subject to the
Partnership paying a 3.5% tax on gross income beginning January 1, 1998.
MAUNA LOA MACADAMIA PARTNERS, L.P.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OPERATING RESULTS -- FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
For the first three months and first six months of 1998, nut production,
nut price and revenues are summarized below:
For the Three Months
Ended June 30, Change
------------------- ----------
1998 1997
------- -------
Nut harvested (000's pounds WIS) 152 778 + -80%
Nut price (per pound) $0.6119 $0.6115 -
------- -------
Net nut sales ($000's) 93 476 + -80%
------- -------
------- -------
For the Six Months
Ended June 30, Change
------------------- ----------
1998 1997
------- -------
Nut harvested (000's pounds WIS) 5,801 3,661 + 58%
Nut price (per pound) $0.6119 $0.6115 -
------- -------
Net nut sales ($000's) 3,548 2,239 + 58%
------- -------
------- -------
Nut production in the second quarter normally accounts for less than 5%
of annual production. The second quarter 1998 was further reduced due to the
El Nino caused drought. The production for the first six months of 1998
surpassed the previous year by 58% due to the very large first quarter
harvest, which is a result of harvest timing differences in the fall/winter
crop.
Production costs are based on annualized standard unit costs. Total
production costs were 61% lower for the second quarter 1998 and 68% higher
for the first six months of 1998 compared to the respective periods in the
prior year. These results are due to the differences in nut production for
these periods.
8
General and administrative costs are slightly lower, by 7% and 5%, for
the three-month and six-month periods in 1998, and the partnership generated
more interest income in 1998 as a result of having more cash on hand.
The Partnership incurred special charges of $1.1 million in the second
quarter 1998 resulting from the write off of costs related to the cancelled
merger of the Partnership with C. Brewer Homes, Inc. A majority vote of the
limited partners, which was necessary to approve the merger, was not received
at a Special Meeting of the Limited Partners on June 26, 1998, and the merger
plans were voided.
For the 1997-98 crop year (July 1 to June 30), total macadamia nut
production increased by 2% over the 1996-97 crop year. These past two crop
years were the best in the Partnership's twelve-year history and were the
result of favorable weather during the two-year period. Comparative crop
year results by orchard area are shown below (in thousands of pounds):
For the Crop Year

------ ------ ------ ------ -----
Total Production 22,455 22,079 17,932 + 2% + 23%
------ ------ ------ ------ -----
------ ------ ------ ------ -----
EL NINO
The drought caused by the weather pattern known as El Nino is still
affecting the Ka'u region on the island of Hawaii where 48% of the
Partnership's orchards are located. Ka'u has received only 3 inches of
rainfall for the period from January to June 1998 compared to last year's
rainfall of 20 inches for the same period. While approximately one-third of
the acres in Ka'u have irrigation, normal production on the remaining acres
cannot be sustained, and the drought will have a negative impact on
production for the remainder of 1998 and most likely into 1999.
The orchards located in Keaau and Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii have
been receiving moderate rainfall since the beginning of April, and the
drought should only slightly affect the 1998/99 crop year production from
these orchards.
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
meets its working capital needs with cash on hand, and when necessary,
through short-term borrowings. The Partnership had a cash balance of $5.3
million at June 30,
9
1998, and there were no line of credit drawings outstanding. It is the
opinion of management that the Partnership has adequate cash on hand to meet
anticipated working capital needs.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
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 the first fiscal year 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.
