PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
HEI
HEI was incorporated in 1981 under the laws of the State of Hawaii and is a
holding company with subsidiaries engaged in the electric utility, savings bank,
freight transportation, real estate development and other businesses, in each
case primarily or exclusively in the State of Hawaii. HEI's predecessor, HECO,
was incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Hawaii (now the State of
Hawaii) on October 13, 1891.
As a result of a 1983 corporate reorganization, HECO became an HEI subsidiary
and common shareholders of HECO became common shareholders of HEI. HECO and its
subsidiaries, MECO and HELCO, are regulated operating public utilities providing
the only public utility electric service on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Lanai,
Molokai and Hawaii. HEI also owns directly or indirectly the following
subsidiaries which comprise its diversified companies: HEIDI and its subsidiary,
ASB, and ASB's subsidiaries; HTB and its subsidiary; MPC and its subsidiaries;
HEIIC; LVI; and PECS.
ASB was acquired in 1988, is the fourth largest financial institution in
Hawaii as measured by total assets as of September 30, 1994, and has 46 retail
branches as of December 31, 1994. HTB was acquired in 1986 and provides ship
assist and charter towing services and owns YB, a regulated intrastate public
carrier of waterborne freight among the Hawaiian Islands. MPC was formed in 1985
and develops and invests in real estate. HEIIC was formed in 1984 and is a
passive investment company which primarily holds investments in leveraged leases
and currently plans no new investments. PECS is a nonutility service company
formed in 1994 to promote energy conservation in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin.
HEI will be forming a new company to pursue independent power projects in Asia,
beginning with the Philippines.
Prior to August 16, 1994, HEIDI was the holder of record of the common stock
of HIG, which was acquired in 1987 and provided property and casualty insurance
primarily in Hawaii. In March of 1993, pursuant to the decision made in 1992,
the stock of HERS, formerly an HEI wind energy subsidiary, was sold to The New
World Power Corporation and LVI became a direct subsidiary of HEI. HEI is
attempting to transfer LVI's windfarm to HELCO, at no cost to electric
customers. For information about the discontinued operations of HIG and HERS,
see Note 2 to HEI's Consolidated Financial Statements which is incorporated
herein by reference to pages 46 to 47 of HEI's 1994 Annual Report to
Stockholders, portions of which are filed herein as HEI Exhibit 13(a).
The financial information about the Company's industry segments is
incorporated herein by reference to page 26 of HEI's 1994 Annual Report to
Stockholders, portions of which are filed herein as HEI Exhibit 13(a).
For additional information about the Company, reference is made to
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," incorporated herein by reference to pages 27 to 38 of HEI's 1994
Annual Report to Stockholders, portions of which are filed herein as HEI Exhibit
13(a).
ELECTRIC UTILITY
HECO AND SUBSIDIARIES AND SERVICE AREAS
HECO, MECO and HELCO are regulated operating electric public utilities engaged
in the production, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity
on the islands of Oahu; Maui, Lanai and Molokai; and Hawaii, respectively. HECO
was incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Hawaii (now State of Hawaii)
on October 13, 1891. HECO acquired MECO in 1968 and HELCO in 1970.
In 1994, the electric utilities contributed approximately 77% of HEI's
consolidated revenues from continuing operations and approximately 78% of HEI's
consolidated operating income from continuing operations. At December 31, 1994,
the assets of the electric utilities represented approximately 37% of the total
assets of the Company. For additional information about the electric utilities,
see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," incorporated herein by reference to pages 27 to 38 of HEI's 1994
Annual Report to Stockholders,
1
portions of which are filed herein as HEI Exhibit 13(a) and pages 3 to 10 of
HECO's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders, portions of which are filed herein as
HECO Exhibit 13(b).
The islands of Oahu, Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Hawaii have a combined
population estimated at 1,123,000, or approximately 95% of the population of the
State of Hawaii, and cover a service area of 5,766 square miles. The principal
communities served include Honolulu (on Oahu), Wailuku and Kahului (on Maui) and
Hilo and Kona (on Hawaii). The service areas also include numerous suburban
communities, resorts, U.S. Armed Forces installations and agricultural
operations.
HECO, MECO and HELCO have nonexclusive franchises from the state covering
certain areas and authorizing them to construct, operate and maintain facilities
over and under public streets and sidewalks. HECO's franchise covers the City &
County of Honolulu, MECO's franchises cover the County of Maui and the County of
Kalawao on the islands of Maui, Lanai and Molokai and HELCO's franchise covers
the County of Hawaii. Each of these franchises will continue in effect for an
indefinite period of time until forfeited, altered, amended or repealed.
SALES OF ELECTRICITY
HECO, MECO and HELCO provide the only electric public utility service on the
islands they serve. The following table sets forth the number of their electric
customer accounts as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 and their electric
sales revenues for each of the years then ended:

------------ ------------ ------------- ------------
100% 100% 100% 100%
============ ============ ============= ============
Approximately 10% of consolidated operating revenues of HECO and its
subsidiaries was derived from the sale of electricity to various federal
government agencies in 1994, 1993 and 1992. HECO's fifth largest customer, the
Naval Base at Barbers Point, Oahu, is expected to be closed within the next few
years. On March 8, 1994, President Clinton signed an Executive Order which
mandates that each federal agency develop and implement a program with the
intent of reducing energy consumption by 30% by the year 2005 to the extent that
these measures are cost-effective. The 30% reductions will be measured relative
to the agency's 1985 energy use. HECO is working with various Department of
Defense installations to implement demand-side management programs which will
help them achieve their energy reduction objectives. It is expected that several
Department of Defense installations will sign a Basic Ordering Agreement under
which HECO may implement the energy conservation projects. Neither HEI nor HECO
management can predict with certainty the impact of President Clinton's
Executive Order on the Company's or HECO and subsidiaries' future results of
operations.

INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANNING AND REQUIREMENTS FOR ADDITIONAL GENERATING CAPACITY
As a result of a proceeding initiated in January 1990, the PUC issued an order
in March 1992 (as revised in May 1992) requiring that the energy utilities in
Hawaii develop integrated resource plans (IRPs). The goal of integrated resource
planning is the identification of the demand-side and supply-side resources and
the integration of these resources for meeting near- and long-term consumer
energy needs in an efficient and reliable manner at the lowest reasonable cost.
In the first phase of the IRP proceeding, the PUC adopted a "framework," which
establishes both the process for developing IRPs and guidelines for the
development of such plans. The PUC's framework directs that each plan cover a
20-year planning horizon with a five-year program implementation schedule and
states that the planning cycle will be repeated every three years. Under the
framework, the PUC may approve, reject or require modifications of the
utilities' IRPs.
The framework also states that utilities are entitled to recover all
appropriate and reasonable integrated resource planning and implementation
costs, including the costs of planning and implementing demand-side management
(DSM) programs. Under appropriate circumstances, the utilities may recover net
lost revenues resulting from DSM programs and earn shareholder incentives.
The PUC will determine the appropriate cost recovery mechanism when a specific
DSM program application is filed. The PUC has approved IRP cost recovery
provisions (IRP Clauses) for HECO, MECO, and HELCO. Pursuant to the IRP Clauses,
the electric utilities may recover through a surcharge the costs for approved
DSM programs, and other IRP costs incurred and approved by the PUC, to the
extent the costs are not included in their base rates.
Each energy utility has been assigned an individual IRP docket in which the
specific issues relative to each company's IRP can be addressed. The PUC
provides for public participation in the planning process by requiring each
utility to form an advisory group and by holding hearings to review each plan.
Any IRP developed will require PUC approval prior to implementation. Management
cannot predict, until the completion and approval of the IRPs, what effect, if
any, integrated resource planning may eventually have on HECO, MECO and HELCO.
In July 1993, HECO filed with the PUC its 20-year (1994-2013) IRP for the
island of Oahu, together with a five-year (1994-1998) implementation schedule.
HELCO filed its plan in October 1993. MECO filed its plan in December 1993.
These plans identified and evaluated a mix of resources to meet near- and long-
term consumer energy needs in an efficient and reliable manner at the lowest
reasonable cost. The IRPs include demand-side management (DSM) programs to
reduce load and fuel consumption and consider the impact on the environment,
culture, community lifestyles and economy of the state. The PUC must review and
approve major elements of the resource plans before the utilities may implement
them. The utilities proposed modifications to their plans during the course of
PUC proceedings to review the plans.
The utilities have characterized their proposed IRPs as planning strategies,
rather than fixed courses of action, and the resources ultimately added to their
systems may differ from those included in the 20-year plan. Under the IRP
framework, the utilities are required to submit annual evaluations of their
plans (including a revised five-year program implementation schedule) and to
submit new plans on a three-year cycle.
Prior to proceeding with the DSM programs, separate PUC approval proceedings
must be completed, in which the PUC will further review the details of the
proposed programs and the utilities' proposals for the recovery of DSM program
expenditures, net lost revenues and shareholder incentives. HECO has filed
separate applications for approval of its proposed DSM programs, and evidentiary
hearings on several of these applications were held in January and February of
1995. The evidentiary hearing for the last HECO DSM program application will be
held in May of 1995. MECO and HELCO expect to file DSM program applications in
1995.
HECO's IRP. HECO's plan includes proposals for five energy efficiency DSM
programs beginning in 1995, which are designed to reduce the rate of increase in
Oahu's energy use (allowing HECO to delay construction of power plants), to
reduce the state's dependence on oil and to achieve savings for its utility
customers who take advantage of the programs, and two load management DSM
programs beginning in the year 2000. The DSM programs include several proposed
incentives to customers to install efficient lighting, refrigeration, water-
heating and air-conditioning equipment and industrial motors. The supply-side
programs proposed in the HECO plan include the addition of a "clean coal"
5
technology unit in 2005, following the retirement of HECO's Honolulu Power Plant
(which is assumed, for planning purposes, to be retired at the end of 2004), the
repowering of two existing units at its Waiau Power Plant, and the addition of
two oil-fired combustion turbines at the end of the first decade in the new
century. Consistent with its current plan to continue operation of its Honolulu
Power Plant, in 1993 HECO withdrew an application it had filed in December 1989
for approval of a proposed sale and leaseback of the Honolulu Power Plant site.
Hearings on HECO's IRP have been completed and HECO is awaiting the PUC's
decision.
MECO's IRP. MECO's plan includes proposals for four energy efficiency DSM
programs beginning in 1995 similar to those developed for HECO. The supply-side
programs proposed by MECO include installing approximately 199 MW of additional
generation through the year 2013 on the island of Maui, approximately 11 MW
through the year 2001 on the island of Lanai and approximately 13 MW through the
year 2013 on the island of Molokai. Hearings on MECO's plan have been held and
MECO is awaiting the PUC's decision.
HELCO's IRP. HELCO's plan includes proposals for four energy efficiency DSM
programs beginning in 1995 similar to those developed for HECO. In addition to
the full-scale DSM programs, HELCO is planning an interruptible load pilot
program. The supply-side programs proposed in HELCO's five-year plan include
installing a 58-MW dual-train combined-cycle unit at HELCO's Keahole plant site,
undertaking transmission and distribution efficiency improvement projects and
conducting alternate energy generation resource studies. HELCO's 20-year plan
includes adding another diesel-fired dual-train combined-cycle unit and a
combustion turbine (first phase of a dual-train combined-cycle unit) at a new
West Hawaii site by the year 2009. Hearings on HELCO's IRP have been completed
and HELCO is awaiting the PUC's decision.
HELCO expects to file the DSM programs with the PUC in 1995. Depending on the
timing of the PUC decision, actual energy reductions are likely to occur
starting in 1996, one year later than what HELCO was projecting in the five-year
plan.
The schedule for the installation of HELCO's phased combined cycle unit (CT-4,
CT-5 and ST-7) at HELCO's Keahole plant site has been revised due to delays in
obtaining approval of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration/Covered Source
permit and the Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP) amendment for the Keahole
power plant site. The proposed service date for CT-4 has been revised to June
1996 followed by CT-5 in August 1996, based on receiving approval of the CDUP
amendment by the latest expected date of December 28, 1995. The installation
dates could occur earlier in 1996, if CDUP approval is received earlier. The
conversion to combined-cycle with the installation of ST-7 is the same as the
previous schedule of October 1, 1997.
With the delay in the CT-4 and CT-5 commercial operation schedule, the
retirements of several units have been deferred until CT-4 and CT-5 are
installed. HELCO is continuing its efforts to complete the development of a
contingency plan for delays in the CT-4 and CT-5 projects.
The PUC completed evidentiary hearings in 1994 on the CT-5 and ST-7 phases of
the Keahole combined-cycle unit and also on two complaints filed by independent
power producers (IPPs) who want to displace HELCO's proposed Keahole unit. The
PUC must decide if the IPPs can meet the timing for HELCO's need for capacity
and whether the prices for capacity and energy that they have proposed are at or
below HELCO's avoided cost.
NONUTILITY GENERATION
The Company has supported state and federal energy policies which encourage
the development of alternate energy sources that reduce dependence on fuel oil.
Alternate energy sources range from wind, geothermal and hydroelectric power, to
energy produced by the burning of bagasse. Other non-oil projects include a
generating unit burning municipal waste and a fluidized bed unit burning coal.
The "Power purchase agreements" section in Note 4 to HEI's Consolidated
Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference to pages 49 to 50 of
HEI's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders, portions of which are filed herein as
HEI Exhibit 13(a).
HECO power purchase agreements. HECO currently has three major power purchase
agreements. In March 1988, HECO entered into a power purchase agreement with AES
Barbers Point, Inc. (AES-BP), a Hawaii-based cogeneration subsidiary of Applied
Energy Services, Inc. (AES) of Arlington, Virginia. The agreement with AES-BP,
as amended in August 1989, provides that, for a period of 30
6
years, HECO will purchase 180 MW of firm capacity, under the control of HECO's
system dispatcher. The AES-BP 180-MW coal-fired cogeneration plant utilizes a
"clean coal" technology and became operational in September 1992. The facility
is designed to sell sufficient steam to be a "Qualifying Facility" under the
Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA).
In October 1988, HECO entered into an agreement with Kalaeloa Partners, L.P.
(Kalaeloa) a limited partnership whose sole general partner is an indirect,
wholly owned subsidiary of ASEA Brown Boveri, Inc., which has guaranteed certain
of Kalaeloa's obligations and, through affiliates, has contracted to design,
build, operate and maintain the facility. The agreement with Kalaeloa, as
amended, provides that HECO will purchase 180 MW of firm capacity for a period
of 25 years. The Kalaeloa facility, which was completed in the second quarter of
1991, is a combined-cycle operation, consisting of two oil-fired combustion
turbines and a steam turbine which utilizes waste heat from the combustion
turbines. The facility is designed to sell sufficient steam to be a "Qualifying
Facility" under PURPA.
HECO disputed certain amounts (primarily energy charges) billed each month
under its power purchase agreements with Kalaeloa and AES-BP. The Kalaeloa and
AES-BP power purchase agreements contain provisions whereby either party to the
agreement may cause the dispute to be submitted to binding arbitration. Kalaeloa
requested that its dispute with HECO be arbitrated, and the arbitration
proceedings were completed in August 1994. The arbitrators' decision did not
have a material effect on HECO's consolidated financial condition or results of
operations. Discussions between HECO and AES-BP to resolve their disputed
billing have been held. HECO and AES-BP have agreed to settle the dispute and
have signed a letter agreement summarizing terms of the settlement. The
financial impact of the settlement will not have a material adverse effect on
HECO's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
HECO also entered into a power purchase contract and a firm capacity amendment
with the City and County of Honolulu, which has built a 60-MW refuse-fired plant
(H-Power). The H-Power facility began to provide firm energy in the second
quarter of 1990 and currently supplies HECO with 46 MW of firm capacity.
The PUC has approved and allowed rate recovery for the costs related to HECO's
three major power purchase agreements, which provide a total of 406 MW of firm
capacity, representing 24% of HECO's total generating and firm purchased
capability on the island of Oahu as of December 31, 1994.
HERS owned and operated a windfarm on the island of Oahu and sold the
electricity it generated to HECO. In March 1993, HEI sold the stock of HERS to
The New World Power Corporation with the power purchase agreements between HERS
and HECO continuing in effect.
HELCO and MECO power purchase agreements. As of December 31, 1994, HELCO and
MECO had power purchase agreements for 43 MW and 16 MW of firm capacity,
respectively, representing 22% and 7% of their respective total generating and
firm purchased capabilities.
HELCO has a power purchase agreement with PGV for 25 MW of firm capacity. PGV,
an independent geothermal power producer which experienced substantial delays in
commencing commercial operations, passed an acceptance test in June 1993.
Although a problem with one of its wells reduced production during 1994, it is
now considered to be a firm capacity source for 25 MW. HELCO filed suit against
PGV in 1993 for penalties and other relief related to PGV's failure to provide
power to HELCO by October 3, 1991. HELCO has recognized energy and capacity
purchased from PGV as expenses, but has withheld certain of such firm capacity
and energy payments to PGV. On March 7, 1995, HELCO and PGV executed a
Settlement Agreement. As to the part of the settlement agreement dealing with
penalties, it was agreed that HELCO would keep $3.2 million of the amount
previously withheld by HELCO. In addition, PGV has agreed to provide additional
energy in the amount of $2.3 million to HELCO above PGV's current firm capacity
obligation at a unit cost less than or equal to the current unit cost. HELCO has
not yet recognized any income for the $5.5 million settlement amount. The
portion of the settlement that HELCO will pass on to customers will be subject
to approval by the PUC. The Settlement Agreement is contingent on, among other
items, the PUC not denying the inclusion of HELCO's energy payments to PGV,
pursuant to an amendment to the power purchase agreement, in HELCO's fuel clause
or base rates. The Settlement Agreement will automatically terminate if there is
such a denial within sixty days of the execution of the Settlement Agreement.
7
HELCO has a power purchase agreement with HCPC for 18 MW of firm capacity.
HCPC discontinued harvesting sugar in late 1994, as had been announced earlier.
On December 12, 1994, HCPC filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition and advised
HELCO that it would cease operating its plant in December 1994. HELCO obtained a
temporary restraining order and, later, extensions of such order, requiring HCPC
to continue operations of the HCPC facility through March 24, 1995, with HELCO
to pay an additional amount for the power HCPC supplies. On January 5, 1995,
HELCO and HCPC entered into an agreement in principle, subject to the
negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, amending the existing power
purchase agreement through December 1999. The definitive agreement must be
approved by the bankruptcy court (unless HCPC acts to dismiss the action from
Bankruptcy Court) and is subject to cancellation by HELCO if not approved by the
PUC within 180 days of its execution. If the definitive agreement is executed
and approved, HCPC has indicated that it can increase its power export
capability to HELCO by 4 MW (to 22 MW).
The stock of LVI was transferred to HEI prior to the sale of HERS to The New
World Power Corporation. As of December 31, 1994, LVI's windfarm on the island
of Hawaii consisted of 67 operating wind turbines with a total operating
capacity of 1.25 MW. LVI sells its electricity to HELCO and the Hawaii County
Department of Water Supply.
Hamakua Sugar Company terminated power delivery to HELCO on October 5, 1994,
upon completion of the bankruptcy court-approved final harvest plan. As a
result, HELCO's system capability was reduced by 8 MW.
MECO has a power purchase agreement with Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company
for 16 MW of firm capacity through December 31, 1999.
FUEL OIL USAGE AND SUPPLY
All rate schedules of the Company's electric utility subsidiaries contain
energy cost adjustment clauses whereby the charges for electric energy (and
consequently the revenues of the subsidiaries generally) automatically vary with
the weighted average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased
energy, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power.
Accordingly, changes in fuel oil and certain purchased energy costs are passed
on to customers. See discussion below under "Rates."
HECO's steam power plants burn low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO). HECO's combustion
turbine peaking units on Oahu burn Number 2 diesel fuel (diesel). MECO and HELCO
consume medium sulfur fuel oil (MSFO) in their steam generating plants and
consume diesel in the operation of their combustion turbine and diesel engine
generating units. The LSFO consumed by HECO in its Oahu generating units is
primarily derived from Indonesian and other Far East crude oils processed in
island refineries. The MSFO supplied to MECO and HELCO is derived from the local
refining of U.S. domestic crude oil.
In the second half of 1993, HECO amended previously existing contracts for the
purchase of LSFO with Chevron, U.S.A., Inc. (CUSA) and BHP Petroleum Americas
Refining Inc. (BHP) providing for an extension for a period of two years
commencing January 1, 1994. The PUC approved these amendments and issued a final
order in December 1993 that permitted the inclusion of costs incurred under
these contracts in HECO's energy cost adjustment clause. HECO pays market-
related prices for fuel supplies purchased under these agreements.
HECO, MECO, HELCO and affiliates, HTB and YB, amended previously existing
joint fuel supply contracts with CUSA and BHP to provide for the purchase of
diesel and MSFO supplies for a period of two years commencing January 1, 1994.
The PUC subsequently approved these amendments and issued a final order in
December 1993 that permitted the electric utilities to include fuel costs
incurred under these contracts in their respective energy cost adjustment
clauses. The electric utilities pay market-related prices for diesel and MSFO
supplied under these agreements.
The diesel supplies obtained by the Lanai Division of MECO are purchased under
an arrangement with a CUSA-branded jobber (wholesale merchant) on Lanai. The
Molokai Division of MECO purchases diesel under the joint fuel supply contract
with CUSA referred to above.
The fuel oil commitments information in Note 11 to HECO's Consolidated
Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference to pages 24 and 25 of
HECO's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholder, portions of which are filed herein as
HECO Exhibit 13(b).

The following table sets forth the average cost of fuel oil used to generate
electricity in the years 1994, 1993 and 1992:
HECO MECO HELCO Consolidated
----------------- ------------------ ------------------ ----------------------
$/Barrel c/MBtu $/Barrel c/MBtu $/Barrel c/MBtu $/Barrel c/MBtu
-------- ------ -------- ------ -------- ------ -------- ------
1994 17.55 279.1 23.36 391.6 20.98 340.9 18.92 304.4
1993 20.27 323.7 24.85 416.3 21.02 344.4 21.09 340.5
1992 18.71 298.4 23.90 399.4 20.68 339.0 19.69 317.1
The average per-unit cost of fuel oil consumed to generate electricity for
HECO, MECO and HELCO reflects a different volume mix of fuel types and grades.
In 1994, 99.7% of HECO's generation fuel consumption consisted of LSFO. The
balance of HECO's fuel consumption was diesel. Diesel also made up approximately
two thirds of MECO's and one third of HELCO's fuel consumption. The remainder of
fuel consumption of MECO and HELCO consisted of MSFO. In general, MSFO is the
least costly fuel, diesel is the most expensive fuel and the price of LSFO falls
between the two on a per barrel basis. The average prices of LSFO and diesel in
1994 were significantly less than the respective average prices in 1993. The
average price of MSFO was higher in 1994 than in the previous year.
HTB was contractually obligated to ship heavy fuel oil for HELCO and MECO
through December 1993. Effective December 31, 1993, HTB exited the heavy fuel
oil shipping business. See "Regulation and other matters-Environmental
regulation-Water quality controls." HELCO and MECO carried out a bidding process
to determine who would ship heavy fuel oil beyond 1993. Several bids were
received and evaluated and two contracts were signed with Hawaiian Interisland
Towing, Inc., subject to PUC approval. Each of the contracts has a two-year term
commencing on January 1, 1994, with an option to extend for up to three two-year
periods. In June 1994, the PUC approved both contracts and allowed HELCO and
MECO to include the costs for fuel transportation and related costs incurred
under the contracts in their respective energy cost adjustment clause.
In 1995, it is estimated that 78% of the net energy generated and purchased by
HECO and its subsidiaries will come from oil. Failure by the Company's oil
suppliers to provide fuel pursuant to the supply contracts and/or substantial
increases in fuel prices could adversely affect HECO and its subsidiaries' and
the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
RATES
HECO, MECO and HELCO are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the PUC
with respect to rates, standards of service, issuance of securities, accounting
and certain other matters. See "Regulation and other matters-Electric utility
regulation."
All rate schedules of HECO and its subsidiaries contain an energy cost
adjustment clause to reflect changes in the price paid for fuel oil and certain
components of purchased power, and the relative amounts of company-generated
power and purchased power. Under current law and practices, specific and
separate PUC approval is not required for each rate change pursuant to automatic
rate adjustment clauses previously approved by the PUC. Rate increases, other
than pursuant to such automatic adjustment clauses, require the prior approval
of the PUC after public and contested case hearings. PURPA requires the PUC to
periodically review the energy cost adjustment clauses of electric and gas
utilities in the state, and such clauses, as well as the rates charged by the
utilities generally, are subject to change.
The PUC has broad discretion in its regulation of the rates charged by the
Company's utility subsidiaries and in other matters. Any adverse decision by the
PUC concerning the level or method of determining electric utility rates, the
authorized returns on equity or other matters, or any prolonged delay in
rendering a decision in a rate or other proceeding, could have a material
adverse effect on HECO and its subsidiaries, and the Company's financial
condition and results of operations. Upon a showing of probable entitlement, the
PUC is required to issue an interim decision in a rate case within 10 months
from the date of filing a completed application if the evidentiary hearing is
completed (subject to extension for 30 days if the evidentiary hearing is not
completed). There is no time limit for rendering a final decision. Interim rate
increases are subject to refund with interest, pending the final outcome of the
case.

The "Recent rate requests" section in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" is incorporated herein by
reference to pages 30 to 31 of HEI's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders,
portions of which are filed herein as HEI Exhibit 13(a).
In February 1995, MECO applied to the PUC for permission to increase electric
rates to provide $23 million in annual revenues, or a 17.4% increase over
current rates, based on a 1996 test year and a 13.5% return on average common
equity.
In March 1995, HELCO applied to the PUC for permission to increase electric
rates to provide $27 million in annual revenues, or an 18.7% increase over
current rates, based on a 1996 test year and a 13.5% return on average common
equity.
HECO and its subsidiaries participated in the PUC's generic docket to
determine whether SFAS No. 106 should be adopted for rate-making purposes. The
information on postretirement benefits other than pensions in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in
Note 17 to HEI's Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated herein by
reference to pages 30 and 63 to 64 of HEI's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders,
portions of which are filed herein as HEI Exhibit 13(a).
Management cannot predict with certainty when decisions in pending or future
rate cases will be rendered or the amount of any interim or final rate increase
that will be granted.
WAIAU-CAMPBELL INDUSTRIAL PARK TRANSMISSION LINES
In 1993, the PUC held hearings concerning Part 2 of the proposed Waiau-
Campbell Industrial Park (CIP) 138-kilovolt transmission lines. These lines will
be part of a second transmission corridor in West Oahu, running approximately 15
miles between CIP and HECO's Waiau Power Plant. The new lines are needed (1) to
increase system reliability by locating the new lines in a separate corridor
from the existing lines, (2) to provide additional transmission capacity to meet
expected load growth and (3) to provide transmission capacity for existing and
new power generation projects planned for West Oahu. HECO experienced community
opposition over the proposed placement of portions of these lines based in part
on the potential effects of the lines on aesthetics and the concern of some that
the electric and magnetic fields (EMF) from the power lines may have adverse
health effects. HECO witnesses addressed EMF, the route selection process (which
involved extensive public input), as well as engineering and related subjects.
One proposal by those who oppose the route of the overhead lines is to place
Part 2 of the Waiau-CIP lines underground. HECO estimated that this proposal
would cost approximately $100 million more than the cost of overhead lines. In
April 1994, the PUC issued a decision which permits HECO to construct the lines
above ground. While the PUC recognized the concerns of aesthetics and EMF, it
felt that neither concern was sufficient to justify the added cost of
undergrounding the lines. In May 1994, appeals to the state Supreme Court were
filed by intervenors in the PUC proceeding requesting that the Court overturn
the PUC's ruling that allows HECO to construct the lines above ground. No stay
of the PUC order has been entered and HECO is proceeding with the overhead
construction of the lines.
Management cannot predict with certainty the final outcome of this appeal or
the impact the final outcome may have on the cost of the lines or on system
reliability.

SAVINGS BANK-AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK, F.S.B.
GENERAL
ASB was granted a charter as a federal savings bank in January 1987. Prior to
that time, ASB operated as the Hawaii division of American Savings & Loan
Association of Salt Lake City, Utah since 1925. At September 30, 1994, ASB's
total assets were $2.9 billion and it was the fourth largest financial
institution in Hawaii based on total assets. At December 31, 1994, ASB's total
assets were $3.1 billion.
HEI agreed with the OTS's predecessor regulatory agency that ASB's regulatory
capital would be maintained at a level of at least 6% of ASB's total
liabilities, or at such greater amount as may be required from time to time by
regulation. Under the agreement, HEI's obligation to contribute additional
capital was limited to a maximum aggregate amount of approximately $65.1
million. HEI elected to contribute additional capital of $1.0 million, $0.8
million and $24.0 million to ASB during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. ASB
is subject to the OTS regulations for dividends and other distributions
applicable to financial institutions regulated by the OTS.
ASB acquired First Nationwide Bank's Hawaii branches and deposits on October
6, 1990. The acquisition increased ASB's statewide retail branch network by 9
branches and its deposit base by $247 million, and provided approximately $239
million in cash.
ASB's earnings depend primarily on its net interest income--the difference
between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets (loans receivable,
mortgage-backed securities and investments) and the interest expense incurred on
interest-bearing liabilities (deposit liabilities and borrowings). Deposits
traditionally have been the principal source of ASB's funds for use in lending,
meeting liquidity requirements and making investments. ASB also derives funds
from receipt of interest and principal on outstanding loans receivable,
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Seattle, securities sold
under agreements to repurchase and other sources, including collateralized
medium-term notes. In 1993 and 1994, advances from the FHLB became a more
significant source of funds.
For additional information about ASB, reference is made to Note 5 to HEI's
Consolidated Financial Statements, incorporated herein by reference to pages 52
through 55 of HEI's 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders, portions of which are
filed herein as HEI Exhibit 13(a).
The following table sets forth selected data for ASB for the periods

HEI changed its method of billing corporate-level expenses to ASB.
Under the new billing procedure, only certain direct charges, rather
than fully-allocated costs, are billed to ASB. However, no change was
made by HEI in the manner in which corporate-level expenses were
allocated for segment reporting purposes.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the relationship between market interest
rates and net interest income resulting from the repricing of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk arises when an
interest-earning asset matures or when its interest rate changes in a time frame
different from that of the supporting interest-bearing liability. Maintaining an
equilibrium between rate sensitive interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities will reduce some interest rate risk but it will not guarantee a
stable net interest spread because yields and rates may change simultaneously or
at different times and such changes may occur in differing increments. Market
rate fluctuations could materially affect the overall net interest spread even
if interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities were perfectly
matched. The difference between the amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities that reprice during a given period is called "gap."
An asset-sensitive position or "positive gap" exists when more assets than
liabilities reprice within a given period; a liability-sensitive position or
"negative gap" exists when more liabilities than assets reprice within a given
period. A positive gap generally produces more net interest income in periods of
rising interest rates and a negative gap generally produces more net interest
income in periods of falling interest rates.
As rates increased during 1994, the gap in the near term (0-6 months) was a
negative 7.6% of total assets as compared to a cumulative one-year positive gap
position of 3.0% of total assets as of December 31, 1994. The negative near-
term gap position reflects increases in FHLB advances and other borrowings to
support investment activities. The cumulative one-year 1994 positive gap was
primarily due to investments in adjustable rate loans and mortgage-backed
securities.

OTHER INCOME
In addition to net interest income, ASB has various sources of other income,
including fee income from servicing loans, fees on deposit accounts, rental
income from premises and other income. Other income totaled approximately $12.2
million in 1994, compared to $11.1 million in 1993 and $10.4 million in 1992.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
General. ASB's net loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolio totaled
approximately $2.9 billion at December 31, 1994, representing 92.8% of its total
assets, compared to $2.4 billion, or 90.3%, and $2.2 billion, or 88.3%, at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. ASB's loan portfolio consists
primarily of conventional residential mortgage loans which are not insured by
the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) nor guaranteed by the Veterans
Administration. At December 31, 1994, mortgage-backed securities represented
36.9% of the loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolio, compared to 26.7% at
December 31, 1993 and 32.7% at December 31, 1992.

Origination, purchase and sale of loans. Generally, loans originated and
purchased by ASB are secured by real estate located in Hawaii. As of December
31, 1994, approximately $8.6 million of loans which were purchased from other
lenders were secured by properties located in the continental United States. For
additional information, including information concerning the geographic
distribution of ASB's mortgage-backed securities portfolio and the geographic
concentration of credit risk, reference is made to Note 19 to HEI's Consolidated
Financial Statements, incorporated herein by reference to page 65 of HEI's 1994
Annual Report to Stockholders, portions of which are filed herein as HEI Exhibit
13(a).
The following table shows the amount of loans originated for the years
indicated:

Residential mortgage lending. During 1994, interest rates rose and the demand
for adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans over fixed rate loans increased
compared with 1993. ARM loans carry adjustable interest rates which are
typically set according to a short-term index. Payment amounts may be adjusted
periodically based on changes in interest rates. ARM loans represented
approximately 46.3% of the total originations of first mortgage loans in 1994,
compared to 24.7% and 34.0% in 1993 and 1992, respectively. ASB intends to
continue to emphasize the origination and purchase of ARM loans to further
improve its asset/liability management.
ASB is permitted to lend up to 100% of the appraised value of the real
property securing a loan. Its general policy is to require private mortgage
insurance when the loan-to-value ratio of owner-occupied property exceeds 80% of
the lower of the appraised value or purchase price. On nonowner-occupied
residential properties, the loan-to-value ratio may not exceed 80% of the lower
of the appraised value or purchase price.
Construction and development lending. ASB provides both fixed and adjustable
rate loans for the construction of one-to-four residential unit and commercial
properties. Construction and development financing generally involves a higher
degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, occupied real
estate. Accordingly, all construction and development loans are priced higher
than loans secured by completed structures. ASB's underwriting, monitoring and
disbursement practices with respect to construction and development financing
are designed to ensure sufficient funds are available to complete construction
projects. As of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, construction and development
loans represented 1.7%, 1.5% and 2.2%, respectively, of ASB's gross loan
portfolio. See "Loan portfolio risk elements."
Multi-family residential and commercial real estate lending. Permanent loans
secured by multi-family properties (generally apartment buildings), as well as
commercial and industrial properties (including office buildings, shopping
centers and warehouses), are originated by ASB for its own portfolio as well as
for participation with other lenders. In 1994, 1993 and 1992, loans on these
types of properties accounted for approximately 6.6%, 6.0% and 8.2%,
respectively, of ASB's total mortgage loan originations. The objective of
commercial real estate lending is to diversify ASB's loan portfolio to include
sound, income-producing properties.
Consumer lending. ASB offers a variety of secured and unsecured consumer
loans. Loans secured by deposits are limited to 90% of the available account
balance. ASB also offers VISA cards, automobile loans, general purpose consumer
loans, second mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, checking account
overdraft protection and unsecured lines of credit. In 1994, 1993 and 1992,
loans of these types accounted for approximately 6.2%, 4.3% and 4.9%,
respectively, of ASB's total loan originations.
Corporate banking/commercial lending. ASB is authorized to make both secured
and unsecured corporate banking loans to business entities. This lending
activity is designed to diversify ASB's asset structure, shorten maturities,
provide rate sensitivity to the loan portfolio and attract business checking
deposits. As of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, corporate banking loans
represented 1.3%, 1.2% and 1.2%, respectively, of ASB's total net loan
portfolio.
Loan origination fee and servicing income. In addition to interest earned on
loans, ASB receives income from servicing of loans, for late payments and from
other related services. Servicing fees are received on loans originated and
subsequently sold by ASB and also on loans for which ASB acts as collection
agent on behalf of third-party purchasers.
ASB generally charges the borrower at loan settlement a loan origination fee
ranging from 2% to 3% of the amount borrowed. Loan origination fees (net of
direct loan origination costs) are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of
yield over the life of the loan. Nonrefundable commitment fees (net of direct
loan origination costs, if applicable) to originate or purchase loans are
deferred. The nonrefundable commitment fees are recognized as an adjustment of
yield over the life of the loan if the commitment is exercised. If the
commitment expires unexercised, nonrefundable commitment fees are recognized in
income upon expiration of the commitment.
18
Loan portfolio risk elements. When a borrower fails to make a required
payment on a loan and does not cure the delinquency promptly, the loan is
classified as delinquent. If delinquencies are not cured promptly, ASB normally
commences a collection action, including foreclosure proceedings in the case of
secured loans. In a foreclosure action, the property securing the delinquent
debt is sold at a public auction in which ASB may participate as a bidder to
protect its interest. If ASB is the successful bidder, the property is
classified in a real estate owned account until it is sold. At December 31,
1994, there were three residential properties acquired in settlement of loans
totaling $0.8 million or 0.03% of total assets. At December 31, 1993, there was
only one residential property acquired in settlement of a loan totaling $0.2
million, or 0.01% of total assets. At December 31, 1992 there was only one
commercial property acquired in settlement of a loan totaling $2.0 million, or
0.08% of total assets.
In addition to delinquent loans, other significant lending risk elements
include: (1) accruing loans which are over 90 days past due as to principal or
interest, (2) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis (nonaccrual loans), and
(3) loans on which various concessions are made with respect to interest rate,
maturity, or other terms due to the inability of the borrower to service the
obligation under the original terms of the agreement (renegotiated loans). ASB
has no loans which are over 90 days past due on which interest is being accrued
for the years presented in the table below. The level of nonaccrual and
renegotiated loans represented 1.4%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 0.1% and 0.1%, of ASB's total
net loans outstanding at December 31, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991 and 1990,
respectively. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to
nonaccrual and renegotiated loans for the dates indicated:

========= ======= ======= ====== ======
ASB's policy generally is to place mortgage loans on a nonaccrual status
(interest accrual is suspended) when the loan becomes more than 90 days past due
or on an earlier basis when there is a reasonable doubt as to its
collectability. Loans on nonaccrual status amounted to $23.8 million (1.27% of
total loans) at December 31, 1994, $5.7 million (0.32% of total loans) at
December 31, 1993, $14.2 million (0.94% of total loans) at December 31, 1992,
$1.0 million (0.08% of total loans) at December 31, 1991 and $1.0 million (0.10%
of total loans) at December 31, 1990.
The significant increase in loans on nonaccrual status from yearend 1991 to
1992 was primarily due to the effects of Hurricane Iniki on the island of Kauai,
such as higher unemployment. As of December 31, 1992, real estate loans with
remaining principal balances of $8.9 million were restructured to defer monthly
contractual principal and interest payments for three months with repayments of
the entire deferred amounts due at the end of the three-month period. These
loans had been classified as nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 1992.
Substantially all of these loans have resumed their normal repayment schedule
and are classified as performing loans.
19
In 1994, the $18 million increase in nonaccrual real estate loans is a result
of Hawaii's weak economy. A rising trend of delinquencies resulted in a $3.8
million increase in nonaccrual residential loans. The $14 million increase in
nonaccrual income property loans is primarily due to three commercial real
estate loans with principal balances totaling $11.8 million that were
restructured/renegotiated to defer monthly principal and interest payments for
three to six months. Gross interest income deferred during 1994 relating to
these restructured/renegotiated loans amounted to $0.5 million. Based on current
evaluations of collection prospects, a specific loss reserve of $1.6 million was
established for one of the loans secured by a commercial retail/office building
located on the island of Oahu. There were no loan loss provisions with respect
to renegotiated loans in 1993, 1992, 1991 and 1990 because the estimated net
realizable value of the collateral for such loans was determined to be in excess
of the outstanding principal amounts of these loans.
Allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses is dependent upon
management's evaluation as to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for
loan losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of future
losses inherent in the loan portfolio. While management attempts to use the best
information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be necessary
as circumstances change and additional information becomes available.
The following table presents the changes in the allowance for loan losses for
the periods indicated.

Ratio of net charge-offs during the
period to average loans outstanding 0.03% 0.04% 0.01% 0.02% 0.02%

ASB's ratio of provisions for loan losses during the period to average loans
outstanding was 0.21%, 0.05%, 0.11%, 0.06% and 0.07% for the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991 and 1990, respectively. The increase in
provisions for loan losses during 1992 was primarily due to the 27% increase in
average loans outstanding and a $0.6 million additional provision for Kauai
loans anticipated to be affected by Hurricane Iniki. In 1994, to establish
additional specific loss reserves and in response to a rising trend of
delinquencies caused by Hawaii's weak economy, ASB increased its loss reserve by
$3.5 million.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
In recent years, ASB's investment portfolio has consisted primarily of
mortgage-backed securities, federal agency obligations and stock of the FHLB of
Seattle. In response to the increasing interest rate environment, management
decided to liquidate ASB's portfolio of securities held for trading and the
liquidation was completed in October 1994.

for use in lending, meeting liquidity requirements and making investments. ASB
also derives funds from receipt of interest and principal on outstanding loans
receivable and mortgage-backed securities, borrowings from the FHLB of Seattle,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other sources. ASB borrows on
a short-term basis to compensate for seasonal or other reductions in deposit
flows. ASB also may borrow on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending or
investment activities. In the last two years, advances from the FHLB have become
a more significant source of funds as the demand for deposits has decreased.
Using higher cost sources of funds puts downward pressure on ASB's net interest
income.
Deposits. ASB's deposits are obtained primarily from residents of Hawaii. In
1994, ASB had average deposits aggregating $2.1 billion. Net savings outflows
for 1994 and 1993 were approximately $32 million and $9 million, respectively,
excluding interest credited to deposit accounts. Net savings inflow for 1992 was
approximately $343 million, excluding interest credited to deposit accounts. The
decrease in net savings flow for 1994 was due primarily to the effects of rising
interest rates and increased competition. The net savings outflow for 1993 was
due primarily to the withdrawal of a trust company deposit account of $92
million. The trust company had been acquired by another financial institution.
The substantial increase in net savings inflow for 1992 was due to ASB's
strategy to increase its retail market by paying higher rates of interest on
savings accounts than most of its competitors in Hawaii during this period. The
weighted average rate paid on deposits during 1994 decreased to 3.59%, compared
to 3.74% and 5.01% in 1993 and 1992, respectively. In the three years ended
December 31, 1994, ASB had no deposits placed by or through a broker.

The following table shows the distribution of ASB's average deposits and
average daily rates by type of deposit for the years indicated. Average balances
for a period have been calculated using the average of month-end balances during
the period.

Borrowings. ASB obtains advances from the FHLB of Seattle, provided certain
standards related to credit-worthiness have been met. Advances are secured under
a blanket pledge of the common stock ASB owns in the FHLB of Seattle and each
note or other instrument held by ASB and the mortgage securing it. FHLB advances
generally are available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposit
accounts, to expand lending and to assist in the effort to improve asset and
liability management. FHLB advances are made pursuant to several different
credit programs offered from time to time by the FHLB of Seattle.
At December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, advances from the FHLB amounted to $616
million, $290 million and $194 million, respectively. The weighted average rate
on the advances from the FHLB outstanding at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992
were 6.17%, 6.24% and 7.39%, respectively. The maximum amount outstanding at any
month-end during 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $616 million, $290 million and $259
million, respectively. Advances from the FHLB averaged $453 million, $210
million and $221 million during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and the
approximate weighted average rate thereon was 5.77%, 6.84% and 7.65%,
respectively. During 1994, increased advances from the FHLB were needed to
support investment activities as the effects of rising interest rates and
increased competition slowed deposit growth.
At December 31, 1994 and 1992, securities sold under agreements to repurchase
consisted of mortgage-backed securities sold to brokers/dealers under fixed-
coupon agreements. The agreements are treated as financings and the obligations
to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the consolidated
balance sheets. The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements
remains in the asset accounts. At December 31, 1994 and 1992, $123.3 million
(including accrued interest of $1.0 million) and $27.2 million (including
accrued interest of $0.2 million) of the agreements were to repurchase
substantially the same securities, respectively. There were no outstanding
securities sold under agreements to repurchase as of December 31, 1993. The
weighted average rates on securities sold under agreements to repurchase
outstanding at December 31, 1994 and 1992 were 6.22% and 3.34%,
22
respectively. The maximum amount outstanding at any month-end during 1994, 1993
and 1992 was $123 million, $27 million and $125 million, respectively.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase averaged $21 million, $20 million
and $66 million during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and the approximate
weighted average interest rate thereon was 5.14%, 3.39% and 5.15%, respectively.
Subject to obtaining certain approvals from the FHLB of Seattle, ASB may offer
collateralized medium-term notes due from nine months to 30 years from the date
of issue and bearing interest at a fixed or floating rate established at the
time of issue. At December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, ASB had no outstanding
collateralized medium-term notes.

COMPETITION
The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates, the quality
and range of services offered, marketing, convenience of office locations,
office hours and perceptions of the institution's financial soundness and
safety. Competition for deposits comes primarily from other savings
institutions, commercial banks, credit unions, money market and mutual funds and
other investment alternatives. Additional competition for deposits comes from
various types of corporate and government borrowers, including insurance
companies. To meet the competition, ASB offers a variety of savings and checking
accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours, convenient branch
locations with interbranch deposit and withdrawal privileges at each office and
conducts advertising and promotional campaigns.
The primary factors in competing for first mortgage and other loans are
interest rates, loan origination fees and the quality and range of lending
services offered. Competition for origination of first mortgage loans comes
primarily from other savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, commercial
banks, insurance companies and real estate investment trusts. ASB believes that
it is able to compete for such loans primarily through the interest rates and
loan fees it charges, the type of mortgage loan programs it offers and the
efficiency and quality of the services it provides its borrowers and the real
estate business community.
OTHER
FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION -- HAWAIIAN TUG & BARGE CORP AND YOUNG BROTHERS, LIMITED
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
HTB and its wholly owned subsidiary, YB, were acquired in 1986. HTB provides
marine transportation services in Hawaii and the Pacific area, including charter
tug and barge and harbor tug operations. YB, which is a regulated interisland
cargo carrier, transports general freight and containerized cargo by barge on a
regular schedule between all major ports in Hawaii. YB moved 3.0 million revenue
tons of cargo between the islands in 1994, compared to 3.1 million tons of cargo
in 1993.
A substantial portion of the state's commodities are imported, and almost all
of Hawaii's overseas inbound and outbound cargo moves through Honolulu. Cargo
destined for the neighbor islands is transshipped through the Honolulu gateway.
23
YB has a nonexclusive Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the
PUC to operate as an intrastate common carrier by water. The Certificate will
remain in effect for an indefinite period unless suspended or terminated by the
PUC. Although YB encounters competition from, among others, interstate carriers
and unregulated contract carriers, YB is the only authorized common carrier
under the Hawaii Water Carrier Act.
YB RATES
YB generally must accept for transport all cargo offered. YB rates and charges
must be approved by the PUC and the PUC has broad discretion in its regulation
of the rates charged by YB.
In September 1992, YB filed an application for a tariff change in its minimum
bill of lading from $10.43 to $21.03 (later increased to $21.62). This
application was suspended on October 7, 1992. On November 5, 1992, YB filed a
general rate increase application with the PUC for a 17.1% across-the-board
increase in rates effective December 20, 1992. On December 18, 1992, the PUC
ordered that the two applications be consolidated and that the consolidated
application be suspended for a period of six months to and including June 19,
1993. On February 12, 1993, YB reduced its general rate increase request to
15.7% from the 17.1% originally requested. The decrease in the request was
primarily due to a decrease in rate base resulting from the change in the test
year period and an adjustment to YB's capital structure to reflect more
leverage. The revised request was based on a rate of return of 16.7% on an
imputed equity of 55%. Hearings for this general rate increase and the tariff
change were held in May 1993. On June 30, 1993, the PUC issued a decision
granting an $18.00 minimum bill of lading charge and a 4.3% general rate
increase on all rates excluding the Minimum Bill of Lading and Marine Cargo
Insurance rates. The new rates and charges became effective on July 8, 1993.
This decision was based on a rate of return of 15.15% on an imputed equity of
55%. Also, on June 30, 1993, the PUC approved YB's motion to rescind a 1.1%
interim rate reduction for the effects of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, effective
July 8, 1993.
YB filed an application on May 16, 1994 requesting PUC approval to increase
its general freight rates by 5.9% and its Minimum Bill of Lading charge from
$18.00 to $20.93 to be effective July 1, 1994. On June 17, 1994, the PUC
suspended YB's application for a period of six months to and including December
31, 1994. On August 12, 1994, YB filed its testimonies and exhibits for a 1995
test year and simultaneously filed a Motion to Amend its May 16, 1994
Application to request a 10.3% rate increase. The Consumer Advocate filed its
opposition to YB's motion on August 22, 1994. On September 26, 1994, YB filed
with the PUC a Stipulation indicating YB and the Consumer Advocate had agreed to
stipulate to a 6% general rate increase effective upon PUC approval. On December
12, 1994, the PUC granted YB approval to increase its rates 6% across-the-board,
which YB put into effect on December 15, 1994.
YB also participated in the PUC's generic docket to determine whether SFAS No.
106 should be adopted for rate-making purposes. The information on
postretirement benefits other than pensions in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 17 to
HEI's Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference to

which are filed herein as HEI Exhibit 13(a).
REAL ESTATE-MALAMA PACIFIC CORP.
--------------------------------
GENERAL
MPC was incorporated in 1985 and engages in real estate development
activities, either directly or through joint ventures.
MPC's real estate development investments in residential projects are targeted
for Hawaii's owner-occupant market. MPC's subsidiaries are currently involved in
the active development of five residential projects (Kipona Hills, Kua' Aina
Ridge, Westpark and Westhills at Makakilo Heights, Piilani Village Phase 1 and
Sunrise Estates) on the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii encompassing
approximately 580 homes or lots, of which nearly 340 have been completed and
sold. Either directly or through its joint ventures, MPC's subsidiaries have
access to nearly 420 acres of land for future residential development.
Residential development generally requires long lead time to obtain necessary
zoning changes, building permits and other required approvals. MPC's projects
are subject to the usual risks of real estate development, including
fluctuations in interest rates, the receipt of timely and appropriate state and
local
24
zoning and other necessary approvals, possible cost overruns and
construction delays, adverse changes in general commerce and local market
conditions, compliance with applicable environmental and other regulations, and
potential competition from other new projects and resales of existing
residences.
In 1994, Malama's real estate development activities continued to experience
slow sales activity. Although the local economy has started to strengthen, sales
were dampened by significant increases in interest rates. Sales activity is
expected to improve gradually in 1995 as the upturn in Hawaii's 1994 visitor
count, after three consecutive years of decline, is a signal of improving
economic conditions.
JOINT VENTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Makakilo Cliffs. In 1990, MDC and JGL Enterprises Inc. formed Makakilo Cliffs
Joint Venture for the development of a 280-unit multi-family residential project
on approximately 26 acres in Makakilo, Hawaii (island of Oahu). MDC's
partnership interest was assigned to Malama Makakilo Corp., another wholly owned
subsidiary of MPC, in August 1990. Sales of the first 81 units closed in 1991
and all remaining units closed in 1992. The joint venture was dissolved in
December 1993.
Sunrise Estates. In 1990, MDC and HSC, Inc. formed Sunrise Estates Joint
Venture to develop and sell 165 one-acre house lots in Hilo, Hawaii (island of
Hawaii). In 1993 and 1992, sales of three lots and 153 lots closed,
respectively. There were no sales in 1994. Sales of the remaining nine lots are
expected in 1995.
In 1991, HSC, Inc. and Malama Elua Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of MPC,
formed Sunrise Estates II Joint Venture to develop and sell approximately 140
one-acre house lots in Hilo, Hawaii, adjacent to the Sunrise Estates Joint
Venture project. Rezoning was completed in 1993, subdivision approvals are in
progress and site work is expected to commence in 1996.
Ainalani Associates. MMO and MDT-BF Limited Partnership (MDT) were partners in
a joint venture known as Ainalani Associates. In 1992, MMO acquired MDT's 50%
interest in Ainalani Associates, and the partnership was dissolved. MMO is
completing the development and sale of three projects on the islands of Maui and
Hawaii, described below under "MMO projects" and is a 50% partner in Palailai
Associates, a partnership with Palailai Holdings, Inc.
Baldwin*Malama. In 1990, MDC acquired a 50% general partnership interest in
Baldwin*Malama, a partnership with Baldwin Pacific Properties, Inc. (BPPI),
established to acquire about 172 acres of land for potential development of
about 780 single and multi-family residential units in Kihei on the island of
Maui. In 1994, the project received approval to increase density to
approximately 1,000 units. The project has completed site work for the first
phase of single family units. At December 31, 1994, 37 homes were completed and
sold, two homes were under construction and one completed unit was available for
sale.
In May 1993, Baldwin*Malama was reorganized as a limited partnership in which
MDC is the sole general partner and BPPI is the sole limited partner. In
conjunction with the dissolution of the Baldwin*Malama general partnership and
formation of the limited partnership, MPC agreed to loan $1.6 million to BPPI
and up to $15 million to the limited partnership. In 1994, MPC agreed to
increase the loan amount to Baldwin*Malama up to $19 million. Beginning in May
1993, MDC consolidated the accounts of Baldwin*Malama. Previously, MDC accounted
for its investment in Baldwin*Malama under the equity method. At December 31,
1994, the outstanding balance on MPC's loan to BPPI was $1.2 million.
Palailai Associates. MMO assumed Ainalani Associates' interest in Palailai
Associates in 1992 upon acquiring MDT's 50% interest in Ainalani Associates. In
1993, Palailai Associates completed the development and sale of the first
increment of 107 homes and lots and completed the bulk sale of its 38.8 acres of
multi-family zoned land in Makakilo, Oahu. The second increment of 69 single
family homes is nearly completed, with 64 homes completed and sold as of
December 31, 1994. The third increment of 100 single family homes is in progress
with 13 homes completed and sold as of December 31, 1994. Palailai Associates
owns approximately 42 acres of adjacent land zoned for residential development.
25
MMO PROJECTS
In 1992, MMO acquired the Kipona Hills, Kua' Aina Ridge and Kehaulani Place
projects of Ainalani as a result of MMO's acquisition of MDT's 50% interest in
Ainalani Associates and Ainalani Associates' subsequent dissolution.
Kipona Hills is a 66-unit subdivision located in Waikoloa on the island of
Hawaii. Through December 31, 1994, 56 homes or lots were completed and sold, and
10 lots were available for sale.
Kua' Aina Ridge is a 92-lot-only subdivision in Pukalani, Maui. Subdivision
improvements have been completed and sales closings commenced in 1993. As of
December 31, 1994, 72 lots were available for sale.
Kehaulani Place (formerly known as Hanohano), consisting of approximately 50
acres of land in Pukalani, Maui, is currently zoned for agriculture. Rezoning
and land-use reclassification will be required before development can commence.
Land planning and presentations to local community groups commenced in 1993.
PROJECT FINANCING
At December 31, 1994, MPC or its subsidiaries were directly liable for $14.1
million of outstanding loans and had additional loan facilities of $0.8 million.
In addition, at December 31, 1994, MPC or its subsidiaries had issued (i)
guaranties under which they were jointly and severally contingently liable with
their joint venture partners for $1.9 million of outstanding loans and (ii)
payment guaranties under which MPC or its subsidiaries were severally
contingently liable for $7.2 million of outstanding loans and $7.1 million of
additional undrawn loan facilities. In total, at December 31, 1994, MPC or its
subsidiaries were liable or contingently liable for $23.2 million of outstanding
loans and $7.9 million in undrawn loan facilities. All such loans are
collateralized by real property. At December 31, 1994, HEI had agreed with the
lenders of construction loans and loan facilities, of which approximately $13.3
million was outstanding and $7.9 million was undrawn, that it will maintain
ownership of 100% of the stock of MPC and that it intends, subject to good and
prudent business practices, to keep MPC financially sound and responsible to
meet its obligations. MPC or its subsidiaries may enter into additional
commitments in connection with the financing of future phases of development of
MPC's projects and HEI may enter into similar agreements regarding the ownership
and financial condition of MPC.
MALAMA WATERFRONT CORP.
In 1989, Malama Waterfront Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of MPC, entered
into an agreement to purchase HECO's Honolulu Power Plant in a sale and
leaseback transaction subject to PUC approval. HECO withdrew its application for
the sale and leaseback of the plant in July 1993. See a further discussion in
"Item 2. Properties--Electric utility--HECO."
HEI INVESTMENT CORP.
--------------------
HEIIC was incorporated in May 1984 primarily to make passive, tax-advantaged
investments in corporate securities and other long-term investments. HEIIC is
not an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and has no
direct employees.
HEIIC has sold substantially all of its investments in marketable debt and
equity securities over the last few years.
HEIIC's long-term investments consist primarily of investments in leveraged
leases. HEIIC has a 15% ownership interest in an 818-MW coal-fired generating
unit in Georgia, which is subject to a leveraged lease agreement entered into in
1985 and expiring in 2013. The lessee has options to renew the lease at fixed
rentals for at least 8.5 additional years, and thereafter at fair market
rentals. In the fall of 1987, HEIIC purchased commercial buildings on leasehold
properties located in the continental United States, along with the related
lease rights and obligations. These leveraged, purchase-leaseback investments
included two major buildings housing operations of Hershey Foods in Pennsylvania
and six supermarkets leased to Kroger Company in California, Pennsylvania,
Louisiana, Alabama and Illinois. HEIIC's investments in leveraged leases
amounted to $54.4 million and $53.1 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Note 8 to HEI's Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated
herein by reference to pages 56 to 57 of HEI's 1994 Annual Report to
Stockholders, portions or which are filed herein as HEI Exhibit 13(a). No new
investments are currently planned by HEIIC.
26
PACIFIC ENERGY CONSERVATION SERVICES, INC.
------------------------------------------
PECS was formed in August 1994 to promote energy conservation in Hawaii and
the Pacific Basin. PECS is considering potential projects to install, finance,
operate and maintain energy conservation equipment, while sharing a percentage
of the saved energy costs with its clients. In 1994, PECS had no operations.
REGULATION AND OTHER MATTERS
HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
HEI and HECO are holding companies within the meaning of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935 (1935 Act). However, under current rules and
regulations, they are exempt from the comprehensive regulation of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the 1935 Act except for Section 9(a)(2)
(relating to the acquisition of securities of other public utility companies)
through compliance with certain annual filing requirements under the 1935 Act
for holding companies which own utility businesses that are primarily intrastate
in character. The exemption afforded HEI and HECO may be revoked if the SEC
finds that such exemption "may be detrimental to the public interest or the
interest of investors or consumers." HEI and HECO may own or have interests in
foreign utility operations without adversely affecting this exemption so long as
the requirements of other exemptions under the 1935 Act are satisfied.
In February 1989 the SEC requested comments on a proposed Rule 17 regarding
the conditions under which public utility holding companies, which have
diversified their lines of business outside the utility area, may retain their
intrastate exemption under section 3(a)(1) of the 1935 Act. Under the proposed
rule, a public utility holding company which had diversified its activities into
nonutility businesses would be entitled to retain its Section 3(a)(1) exemption
only if it comes within a proposed federal or state safe-harbor provision
following a grace period of three years after adoption of the rule. HEI does not
satisfy the provisions of the federal safe-harbor provision in its currently
proposed form, and may not necessarily satisfy the provisions of the state safe-
harbor provision. If the rule were adopted in its proposed form and HEI does not
satisfy the state safe-harbor provision, HEI might be required to register as a
holding company under the Act and/or divest itself of certain of its nonutility
subsidiaries. If a rule were adopted in some form requiring action on HEI's part
to come within a state safe-harbor provision, the Company's present intention is
to take all such action as is reasonable and appropriate to bring itself within
the state safe-harbor provision. Even though the SEC has taken no action on the
proposal for several years, HEI cannot predict whether a rule relating to
diversification will be adopted in the proposed form or in a modified form, or
the ultimate effects of any such rule on it or its subsidiaries if adopted.
In November 1994, the SEC issued a concept release soliciting comments on
modernization of utility regulation under the 1935 Act. This is part of a
continuing effort by the SEC to evaluate the regulatory structure of the utility
industry. Both regulatory and legislative changes are possible, but cannot be
predicted at this time.
HEI is subject to an agreement entered into with the PUC (the PUC Agreement)
when HECO became a wholly owned subsidiary of HEI. The PUC Agreement, among
other things, requires HEI to provide the PUC with periodic financial
information and other reports concerning intercompany transactions and other
matters. It prohibits the electric utilities from loaning funds to HEI or its
nonutility subsidiaries and from redeeming common stock of the electric utility
subsidiaries without PUC approval. Further, the PUC could limit the ability of
the electric utility subsidiaries to pay dividends on their common stock. See
"Restrictions on dividends and other distributions" and "Electric utility
regulation" (regarding the PUC review of the relationship between HEI and HECO).
As a result of the acquisition of ASB, HEI and HEIDI are subject to OTS
registration, supervision and reporting requirements as savings and loan holding
companies.
In the event the OTS has reasonable cause to believe that the continuation by
HEI or HEIDI of any activity constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety,
soundness, or stability of ASB, the OTS is authorized under the Home Owners'
Loan Act of 1933, as amended, to impose certain restrictions in the
27
form of a directive to HEI and any of its subsidiaries, or HEIDI and any of its
subsidiaries. Such possible restrictions include limiting (i) the payment of
dividends by ASB; (ii) transactions between ASB, HEI or HEIDI, and the
subsidiaries or affiliates of ASB, HEI or HEIDI; and (iii) the activities of ASB
that might create a serious risk that the liabilities of HEI and its other
affiliates, or HEIDI and its other affiliates, may be imposed on ASB.
Theoretically, this authority would allow the OTS to prohibit dividends, limit
affiliate transactions or otherwise restrict activities as a result of losses
suffered by HEI, HEIDI or their other subsidiaries, and thus conceivably may be
an indirect means of limiting affiliations between ASB and affiliates engaged in
nonfinancial activities. See "Restrictions on dividends and other
distributions."
OTS regulations also generally prohibit savings and loan holding companies and
their nonthrift subsidiaries from engaging in activities other than those which
are specifically enumerated in the regulations. Such restrictions, if applicable
to HEI and HEIDI, would significantly limit the kinds of activities in which HEI
and HEIDI and their subsidiaries may engage. However, the OTS regulations
provide for an exemption which is available to HEI and HEIDI if ASB satisfies
the "qualified thrift lender" test discussed below. See "FDIC Improvement Act of
1991 and Implementing Regulations." ASB currently meets the qualified thrift
lender test and must continue to meet the test in order to avoid restrictions on
the activities of HEI and HEIDI and their subsidiaries which could result in a
need to divest ASB.
HEI and HEIDI are prohibited, directly or indirectly, or through one or more
subsidiaries, from (i) acquiring control of, or acquiring by merger or purchase
of assets, another insured institution or holding company thereof, without prior
written OTS approval; (ii) acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of
another savings association or savings and loan holding company which is not a
subsidiary; or (iii) acquiring or retaining control of a savings association not
insured by the FDIC. No director or officer of HEI or HEIDI, or person
beneficially owning more than 25% of such holding company's voting shares, may,
except with the prior approval of the OTS, (a) also serve as director, officer,
or employee of any insured institution or (b) acquire control of any savings
association not a subsidiary of such holding company.
RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS
HEI is a legal entity separate and distinct from its various subsidiaries. As
a holding company with no significant operations of its own, the principal
sources of its funds are dividends or other distributions from its operating
subsidiaries, borrowings and sales of equity. The rights of HEI and,
consequently, its shareholders, to participate in any distribution of the assets
of any of its subsidiaries is subject to the prior claims of the creditors and
preferred stockholders of such subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of
HEI in its capacity as a creditor are recognized.
The ability of certain of HEI's subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other
distributions to HEI is subject to contractual and regulatory restrictions. By
agreement with the PUC, in the event that the consolidated common stock equity
of the electric utility subsidiaries falls below 35% of total electric utility
capitalization, these companies would be restricted, unless they obtained PUC
approval, in their payment of cash dividends to 80% of the earnings available
for the payment of dividends in the current fiscal year and preceding five
years, less the amount of dividends paid during that period. The PUC Agreement
also provides that the foregoing dividend restriction shall not be construed to
relinquish any right the PUC may have to review the dividend policies of the
electric utility subsidiaries. The consolidated common stock equity of HEI's
electric utility subsidiaries was 52% of their total capitalization (including
the current maturities of long-term debt and preferred stock sinking fund
requirements due within one year but excluding short-term borrowings) as of
December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1994, HECO and its subsidiaries had net
assets of $634 million, of which approximately $314 million were not available
for transfer to HEI without regulatory approval.
The ability of ASB to make capital distributions to HEI and other affiliates
is restricted under federal law. Subject to a limited exception for stock
redemptions that do not result in any decrease in ASB's capital and would
improve ASB's financial condition, ASB is prohibited from declaring any
dividends, making any other capital distribution, or paying a management fee to
a controlling person if, following the distribution or payment, ASB would be
deemed to be under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized or critically
under-capitalized. See "Savings bank regulation-FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 and
Implementing Regulations-Prompt corrective action."
28
As a Tier-1 institution (one that meets its fully phased-in capital
requirements and has not been notified by the OTS that it is in need of more
than normal supervision), ASB may make capital distributions without OTS
approval in amounts up to one-half of ASB's surplus capital ratio (the amount of
its capital in excess of its fully phased-in capital requirement) at the
beginning of a calendar year, plus its net income for that calendar year to
date. The term "fully phased-in capital requirements" means the institution's
capital requirements under the statutory and regulatory standards applicable on
December 31, 1994, as modified by any individual minimum capital requirements
applicable to the institution. ASB, as a Tier-1 institution, may exceed the
foregoing limits if ASB provides a thirty-day advance notice to the OTS and
receives no objection within thirty days. Even in the case of distributions
within the permissible limits, however, a thirty day advance notice to the OTS
is required.
HEI and its subsidiaries are also subject to debt covenants, preferred stock
resolutions and guaranties that could limit their respective abilities to pay
dividends. The Company does not expect that the regulatory and contractual
restrictions applicable to HEI or its direct and indirect subsidiaries will
significantly affect the operations of HEI or its ability to pay dividends on
its common stock.
ELECTRIC UTILITY REGULATION
The PUC regulates the rates, standards of service, issuance of securities,
accounting and certain other aspects of the operations of HEI's electric utility
subsidiaries. See "Electric Utility-Rates."
In addition, the PUC has ordered the electric utility subsidiaries to develop
plans for the integration of demand-side and supply-side resources available to
meet consumer energy needs efficiently, reliably and at the lowest reasonable
cost. The PUC may approve, reject or require modifications of these plans. See
"Electric Utility-Integrated Resource Planning and requirements for additional
generating capacity."
On March 7, 1995, the PUC opened a generic docket to investigate whether
Hawaii public utilities should be allowed to establish self-insured property
damage reserves to recover the cost of damage to their facilities and equipment
caused by catastrophic natural disasters. In its 1995 test year rate case, HECO
had proposed that it be allowed to establish a similar reserve, but withdrew the
request under an agreement with the other parties that they would jointly
request that the PUC initiate a generic docket. HECO has estimated that the
value of its uninsured transmission and distribution facilities is in excess of
$1 billion.
Any adverse decision or policy made or adopted by the PUC could have a
material adverse effect on HECO and its subsidiaries' and the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.
Certain transactions between HEI's public utility subsidiaries (HECO, MECO and
HELCO) and HEI and affiliated interests, are subject to regulation by the PUC.
Under the law, all contracts (including summaries of unwritten agreements), made
on or after July 1, 1988 of $300,000 or more in a calendar year for management,
supervisory, construction, engineering, accounting, legal, financial and similar
services and for the sale, lease or transfer of property between a public
utility and affiliated interests must be filed with the PUC to be effective, and
the PUC may issue cease and desist orders if such contracts are not filed. All
such affiliated contracts for capital expenditures (except for real property)
must be accompanied by comparative price quotations from two nonaffiliates,
unless the quotations cannot be obtained without substantial expense. Moreover,
all transfers of $300,000 or more of real property between a public utility and
affiliated interests require the prior approval of the PUC and proof that the
transfer is in the best interest of the public utility and its customers. If the
PUC, in its discretion, determines that an affiliated contract was unreasonable
or otherwise contrary to the public interest, the utility must either revise the
contract or risk disallowance of the payments for rate-making purposes. In rate-
making proceedings, a utility must also prove the reasonableness of payments
made to affiliated interests under any affiliated contracts of $300,000 or more
by clear and convincing evidence. An "affiliated interest" is defined by statute
and includes officers and directors of a public utility, every person owning or
holding, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting securities of a
public utility, and corporations which have in common with a public utility more
than one-third of the directors of that public utility.
To address community concerns, HECO proposed by letter dated January 25, 1993,
that the PUC initiate a review of the relationship between HEI and HECO and the
effects of that relationship on the operations of HECO. By an order dated
January 26, 1993, the PUC initiated such a review to determine whether the HEI-
HECO relationship, HEI's diversified activities, and HEI's policies, operations
and
29
practices have resulted in or are having any negative effects on HECO, its
electric utility subsidiaries and ratepayers. In May 1994, a consultant, Dennis
Thomas and Associates, was selected by the PUC to perform the review. In early
1995, Dennis Thomas and Associates issued its report to the PUC. The report
concluded that "on balance, diversification has not hurt electric ratepayers."
Other major findings of the study were that no utility assets have been used to
fund HEI's nonutility investments or operations, HEI has not denied needed
capital to the electric utilities and management processes within the electric
utilities operate without interference from HEI. The report also made several
recommendations, including initiating more ongoing communication between HEI and
the PUC on diversification issues and any changes in HEI's diversification
policy, providing the PUC with annual reports on compliance with the original
conditions mandated by the PUC when HEI was formed, having a HECO Board of
Directors with a majority of members who are not also directors of HEI and
adoption of a policy statement by HECO's Board of Directors documenting its
commitment to public service obligations. The Company is considering all the
recommendations. See also "Holding company regulation."
HECO and its subsidiaries are not subject to regulation by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Federal Power Act, except under Sections
210 through 212 (added by Title II of PURPA), which permit the FERC to order
electric utilities to interconnect with qualifying cogenerators and small power
producers, and to wheel power to other electric utilities. Title I of PURPA,
which relates to retail regulatory policies for electric utilities, also applies
to HECO and its subsidiaries. Title VII of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, which
creates "exempt wholesale generators" (EWGs) as a category that is exempt from
the 1935 Act and which addresses transmission access, also applies to HECO and
its subsidiaries. The Company cannot predict the extent to which cogeneration,
EWGs, or transmission access, will reduce its electrical loads, reduce its
current and future generating and transmission capability requirements, or
affect its financial condition or results of operations.
Because they are located in the State of Hawaii, HECO and its subsidiaries are
exempt by statute from limitations set forth in the Powerplant and Industrial
Fuel Act of 1978 on the use of petroleum as a primary energy source.
SAVINGS BANK REGULATION
ASB is a federally-chartered savings bank whose deposit accounts are insured
by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) administered by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). In addition, ASB must comply with Federal
Reserve Board reserve requirements and OTS liquidity requirements. ASB and its
holding companies are subject to the regulatory supervision of the OTS and, in
certain respects, the FDIC.
Deposit Insurance
-----------------
Deposit Insurance Assessments. The FDIC administers a separately funded and
maintained deposit insurance fund for savings associations. SAIF generally
insures the deposits of savings associations, which were insured by the FSLIC
prior to the enactment of the FIRREA. In recent years, the deposit insurance
assessment rates for the SAIF have increased substantially above historical
levels. However, the OTS decided not to increase the assessment rates savings
associations are required to set aside on January 31, 1994, July 31, 1994 and
January 31, 1995. It is uncertain to what extent rates may be raised in the
future.
As required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
1991 (FDICIA), the FDIC amended its rule on assessments to establish a risk-
based assessment system. Under the risk-based assessment system, the assessments
(or premiums) paid by a savings association for deposit insurance are based on
the risk posed by the savings association to the SAIF. The current annual
assessment rates applicable to SAIF members range from 23 to 31 cents per $100
of insured deposits, depending on the institution's risk classification. Savings
associations classified as strongest by the FDIC are subject to the lowest
assessment rates. ASB paid an assessment at an annual rate of 23 cents per $100
of deposits for the semiannual period beginning January 1, 1995.
The FDIC is considering a proposal to reduce banks' deposit insurance
premiums, from their current rates of 23 to 31 cents per $100 of insured
deposits, to a rate of 4 to 31 cents, depending on the health of the bank.
Deposit insurance premiums for SAIF-insured institutions would remain at the
current rates of 23 to 31 cents. If adopted, the FDIC proposal would result in
a disparity between Bank Insurance Fund-
30
insured institutions and SAIF-insured institutions, potentially placing SAIF-
insured institutions such as ASB at a competitive disadvantage.
Deposit Insurance Coverage. The FDICIA amended various provisions of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act governing deposit insurance coverage. FDICIA, as
further implemented by amendments to the FDIC's deposit insurance regulations,
made certain significant changes relating to pro rata or "pass through"
insurance coverage for employee benefit plan participants and beneficiaries, and
insurance coverage for certain retirement accounts and trust funds. (The term
"pass-through" insurance means that the insurance coverage passes through to
each owner/beneficiary of the applicable deposit.) Although the vast majority of
the FDIC's deposit insurance regulations, such as the basic rules providing that
individual accounts are insured to $100,000 separately from qualifying joint
accounts, remain unchanged, several important changes were made.
Effective December 19, 1993, an individual's interest in deposits at the same
institution in any combination of certain retirement accounts will be added
together and insured up to $100,000 in the aggregate. This is a reduction from
the maximum of $400,000 in insurance coverage formerly provided if deposits were
made in four different types of retirement plan accounts.
"Pass-through" insurance coverage for the deposits of most employee benefit
plans (i.e., $100,000 per individual participating, not $100,000 per plan)
generally continues only for institutions that are "well-capitalized" under the
FDIC's prompt corrective action regulations. The FDIC has amended its deposit
insurance regulations to require financial institutions to provide employee
benefit plan depositors information, not otherwise available, on the
institution's capital category and whether "pass-through" deposit insurance is
available. As of December 31, 1994, ASB was well-capitalized.
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 and
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Implementing Regulations
------------------------
Capital requirements. Under FIRREA, the OTS set three capital standards for
thrifts, each of which must be no less stringent than those applicable to
national banks. The three standards provide: (1) a leverage limit which requires
a savings association to maintain core capital in an amount of not less than 3%
of the association's adjusted total assets; (2) a tangible capital requirement
of not less than 1.5% of an association's adjusted total assets; and (3) an 8%
risk-based capital requirement, which may deviate from national bank standards
to reflect interest rate risk or other risks, but such deviations may not result
in materially lower levels of capital than would be required under risk-based
capital standards applicable to national banks. Generally, the OTS must restrict
the asset growth of an association that fails to meet the capital requirements.
As of December 31, 1994, ASB was in compliance with all of the minimum standards
with a core capital ratio of 5.2%, a tangible capital ratio of 4.9% and risk-
based capital ratio of 11.4% (based on risk-based capital of $165.7 million,
$49.8 million in excess of the requirement).
The OTS has adopted a rule that adds an interest rate risk (IRR) component to
the existing risk-based capital requirement. Institutions with an "above normal"
level of IRR exposure will be required to hold additional capital. "Above
normal" IRR is defined as any decline in market value of an institution's
portfolio equity in excess of 2% of the market value of its assets, which would
result from an immediate 200 basis point change in interest rates. The OTS rule
requires a savings association with an "above normal" level of IRR exposure to
hold one-half of the "above normal" IRR times the market value of its assets as
capital, in addition to its existing 8% risk-based capital requirement. Although
the rule generally became effective January 1, 1994, the interest rate risk
capital deduction, which was to go into effect with the September 1994 Thrift
Financial Report, has been waived until the OTS finalizes the process under
which institutions may appeal such capital deductions. This means that in
calculating the risk-based capital requirement, ASB was not required to deduct
capital for IRR, and did not report such a deduction for the December 1994
Thrift Financial Report.
The federal banking regulators have also proposed a similar regulation which
may result in a more stringent capital requirement for IRR than the current OTS
rule. FIRREA requires that the capital standards for thrifts be no less
stringent than those applicable to national banks. The impact of the proposed
federal banking regulation on ASB cannot be predicted at this time.
Affiliate transactions. Significant restrictions apply to certain
transactions between ASB and its affiliates, including HEI and its direct and
indirect subsidiaries. FIRREA significantly altered both the scope and substance
of such limitations on transactions with affiliates and provides for thrift
affiliate rules similar to, but more restrictive than, those applicable to
banks. For example, ASB is prohibited from making any loan or other extension of
credit to an entity affiliated with ASB unless the affiliate is
31
engaged exclusively in activities which the Federal Reserve Board has determined
to be permissible for bank holding companies. There are also various other
restrictions which apply to loans and other transactions between ASB and certain
executive officers, directors and insiders of ASB. ASB is also barred from
making a purchase of or any investment in securities issued by an affiliate,
other than with respect to shares of a subsidiary of ASB.
FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 and Implementing Regulations
---------------------------------------------------------
The FDICIA, enacted on December 19, 1991, subjects the banking and thrift
industries to heightened regulation and supervision. The FDICIA makes a number
of reforms addressing the safety and soundness of the deposit insurance system,
supervision of domestic and foreign depository institutions and improvement of
accounting standards. The FDICIA also limits deposit insurance coverage,
implements changes in consumer protection laws and calls for least-cost
resolution and prompt corrective action with regard to troubled institutions.
Pursuant to FDICIA, the federal banking agencies have promulgated, or are in
the process of promulgating, regulations which may affect the operations of ASB
and its holding companies. Such regulations address, for example, standards for
safety and soundness, real estate lending, accounting and reporting,
transactions with affiliates, and loans to insiders. See also "Deposit
Insurance."
Prompt corrective action. FDICIA establishes a statutory framework that is
triggered by the capital level of a savings association and subjects it to
progressively more stringent restrictions and supervision as capital levels
decline. The OTS rules implement the system of prompt corrective action. In
particular, the rules define the relevant capital measures for the categories of
well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly
under-capitalized and critically under-capitalized.
A savings association that is under-capitalized or significantly under-
capitalized is subject to additional mandatory supervisory actions and a number
of discretionary actions if the OTS determines that any of the actions is
necessary to resolve the problems of the association at the least possible long-
term cost to the SAIF. A savings association that is critically under-
capitalized must be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90 days,
unless the OTS and the FDIC concur that other action would be more appropriate.
Interest rates. FDIC regulations restrict the ability of financial
institutions that are not "well-capitalized" to offer interest rates on deposits
that are significantly higher than the rates offered by competing institutions.
To be a "well-capitalized" institution not subject to these interest rate
restrictions, an institution must have a "leverage ratio" of 5.0%, a "Tier-1
risk-based ratio" of 6%, a "total risk-based ratio" of 10% and not be in a
"troubled condition." As of December 31, 1994, ASB was "well-capitalized" with a
leverage ratio of 5.2%, a Tier-1 risk-based ratio of 11.0% and a total risk-
based ratio of 11.4%.
Qualified thrift lender test. The FDICIA amends the qualified thrift lender
(QTL) test provisions of FIRREA by reducing the percentage of assets thrifts
must maintain in housing-related loans and investments from 70% to 65%, and
changing the computation period to require that the percentage be reached on a
monthly average basis in nine out of the previous 12 months. A savings
association's QTL ratio was formerly measured on a daily or weekly basis.
Savings associations that fail to satisfy the QTL test by not holding the
required percentage of housing-related investments are subject to various
penalties, including limitations on their activities and restrictions on their
FHLB advances. Failure to satisfy the QTL test would also bring into operation
restrictions on the activities that may be engaged in by HEI, HEIDI and their
other subsidiaries and could effectively result in the required divestiture of
ASB. At all times during 1994, ASB was in compliance with the QTL test. See
"Holding company regulation."
Federal Home Loan Bank System
-----------------------------
ASB is a member of the FHLB System which consists of 12 regional FHLBs. The
FHLB System provides a central credit facility for member institutions. ASB, as
a member of the FHLB of Seattle, is required to own shares of capital stock in
the FHLB of Seattle in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of ASB's aggregate
unpaid residential loan principal at the beginning of each year, 0.3% of total
assets or 5% of FHLB advances outstanding. The FHLBs serve as the central
liquidity facilities for savings associations and resources of long-term funds
for financing housing. Long-term advances may only be made for the purpose of
providing funds for financing residential housing. Additionally, at such time as
an advance is made or renewed, it must be secured by collateral from one of the
following categories:
32
(1) fully disbursed, whole first mortgages on improved
residential property, or securities representing a whole interest in such
mortgages; (2) securities issued, insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
or any agency thereof; (3) FHLB deposits; and (4) other real estate-related
collateral that has a readily ascertainable value and with respect to which a
security interest can be perfected. The aggregate amount of outstanding advances
secured by such other real estate-related collateral may not exceed 30% of the
member's capital.
Other laws, regulations and proposed legislation
------------------------------------------------
Other laws. ASB is subject to federal and state consumer protection laws
which affect lending activities, such as the Truth-in-Lending Law, the Truth in
Savings Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act and several federal and state financial privacy acts. These laws
may provide for substantial penalties in the event of noncompliance. Management
of ASB believes that its lending activities are in compliance with these laws
and regulations.
The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was enacted by Congress in 1977 to ensure
that banks and thrifts help meet the credit needs of their communities,
including low- and moderate-income areas, consistent with safe and sound lending
practices. The OTS will consider ASB's CRA record in evaluating an application
for a new deposit facility, including the establishment of a branch, the
relocation of a branch or office, or the acquisition of an interest in another
bank or thrift. ASB received a CRA rating of "outstanding" as a result of its
last OTS examination.
The Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Act of 1994 (Interstate
Banking Act) was signed into law on September 29, 1994. The Interstate Banking
Act generally permits bank holding companies to acquire banks in any state after
September 29, 1995, thereby creating a uniform system of interstate banking in
the United States. In addition, subject to certain limitations, the Interstate
Banking Act will permit interstate branching by U.S. banks, marking a major
departure from previous law. Beginning June 1, 1997, a bank will be permitted
to merge with another bank across state lines. Banks will also be permitted to
establish new branches in states where they do not own a deposit-taking
institution only when the host state's law expressly authorizes such branching
for all out-of-state banks. Although the Interstate Banking Act applies only to
banks, it could result in greater competitive pressures on savings associations
such as ASB.
Pending legislation. Bills are now pending or expected to be introduced in
the United States Congress that contain proposals for altering the structure,
regulation and competitive relationships of the nation's financial institutions.
If enacted into law, these pending bills could have the effect of increasing or
decreasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding permissible
activities, or affecting the competitive balance among banks, thrifts and other
financial institutions. Some of these bills would realign the structure and
jurisdiction of various financial institution regulatory agencies and the FHLB
system. Whether or in what form any such legislation may be adopted or the
extent to which the business of the Company or ASB might be affected thereby
cannot be predicted.
FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION REGULATION
The PUC has broad authority in its regulation of the intrastate business and
operations of YB. See "Other-Freight Transportation-Hawaiian Tug & Barge Corp.
and Young Brothers, Limited." In particular, the PUC has the authority to review
and modify YB's intrastate rates and charges under the Hawaii Water Carrier Act.
In all rate proceedings under such act, YB has the burden of proving the
reasonableness of expenditures, contracts, leases, or other transactions. An
adverse decision or policy adopted by the PUC could have a material effect on
the financial condition or results of operations of YB.
33
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to federal and state statutes and
governmental regulations pertaining to water quality, air quality and other
environmental factors.
Water Quality Controls. As part of the process of generating electricity,
water used for condenser cooling of the electric utility subsidiaries' steam
electric generating stations is discharged into ocean waters or into underground
injection wells. The subsidiaries are required periodically to obtain permits
from the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) in order to be allowed to discharge
the water. The electric utility subsidiaries must obtain National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits from the DOH to allow wastewater
discharges into ocean waters for each of five generating stations (three at HECO
and one each at MECO and HELCO) and Underground Injection Control (UIC) permits
for wastewater discharge to underground injection wells for several HELCO
facilities and one MECO facility.
During 1993 and 1994, applications were submitted to the DOH for the renewal
of NPDES permits for the five generating stations. Existing NPDES permits for
all facilities have expired, but have been administratively extended until such
time as DOH can issue new permits. All facilities will continue to operate in
compliance with existing permit requirements until new NPDES permits are issued.
The DOH has prepared draft NPDES permits for three generating stations.
A new demineralizer system was installed at the Kahe Generating Station to
supplement the existing flash evaporator system and provide the facility with a
more reliable and higher capacity source of high quality boiler makeup water.
Commercial operation of the new demineralizer system commenced in December 1994.
An application to revise the existing NPDES permit to include demineralizer
system wastewater was submitted to the DOH in May 1993. The DOH consolidated
this application review with its review of the Kahe NPDES permit renewal
application, which was submitted in December 1993. The DOH recognized this
facility modification in its recently completed draft NPDES permit. Although the
DOH was not able to issue the final permit in time for the start of
demineralizer system discharges, it did allow operations to start.
The EPA promulgated new NPDES storm water discharge regulations in November
1990 and the DOH finalized its administrative rules in October 1992. New storm
water discharge permits are required for electric utility storm water that is
discharged to: existing NPDES-permitted outfalls, separate storm water
conveyances that discharge directly to navigable waters and municipal storm
sewer systems. Facilities with storm water discharges to existing NPDES-
permitted outfalls were not required to reapply for a new NPDES permit until
existing permits expire. Three HECO generating stations and one MECO generating
station discharge storm water to NPDES-permitted outfalls. These four facilities
have included required storm water information in the most recent NPDES permit
renewal application. For storm water discharged to separate storm water
conveyances, Notice of Intent (NOI) Applications for General Permits were
submitted to the DOH in April 1993 for the HECO facilities. The DOH issued
Notices of General Permit Coverage (NGPC) for the HECO facilities in 1994. In
September 1994, the DOH determined that MECO's Maalaea facility requires a NPDES
permit. A storm water permit application is currently being finalized by MECO's
consultant. Completed storm water pollution control plans were submitted to the
DOH in September 1994 for two HECO facilities. The DOH will be incorporating
NGPC storm water permitting requirements into new facility NPDES permits
(mentioned earlier) which are expected to be issued in early 1995. The DOH also
promulgated regulations that require storm water runoff and dewatering permits
for construction-related projects. These new construction related permits
require discharge monitoring and implementation of best management practices
during construction activities to comply with state water quality standards. To
date, HECO has submitted several NOIs for both construction storm water
discharge permits and dewatering permits. HECO is also working cooperatively
with the City & County Department of Public Works to obtain a blanket NPDES
permit to discharge water removed from utility manholes into Municipal storm
drain systems.
In 1990 and 1991, HELCO reapplied for UIC permits at four affected facilities
and applied for new UIC permits for seven existing but previously unregistered
wells. To date, the DOH has issued new UIC permits for all dry wells, cesspools
and injection wells, with the exception of one injection well at the Puna plant.
Because the DOH is still processing the Puna UIC permit application, the
facility's injection well continues to operate under an administrative extension
of the previous permit. A consultant was hired to conduct semiannual well status
monitoring and reporting for all cesspools and injection wells, which commenced
in December 1994. While compiling information in response to an earlier DOH
34
request for additional facility and injection well information, HECO discovered
that a drainage well had been modified in June 1993 without providing required
notification to the DOH. In July 1994, HECO notified the DOH of the drainage
well modification and the DOH issued a notice of apparent violation for failing
to provide advance notice of the well modification in August 1994. In October
1994, the DOH submitted a follow up letter requesting information related to the
drainage well modification. HECO submitted a response to the DOH in January 1995
and is currently awaiting feedback from the DOH.
In April 1993, HELCO received DOH approvals to construct an injection well and
backup well, respectively, at its Keahole power plant. Well construction and
testing were completed in December 1993. A well certification report was
submitted to DOH in November 1994 to complete the final application for a UIC
permit to operate (PTO). A UIC PTO is expected to be issued. On November 30,
1993, HECO notified the DOH that its consultant's drilling subcontractor had to
abandon well No. 2 (i.e., due to the loss of a bailer in the well) and had
started construction of a replacement well. HECO has since been providing well
abandonment information to the DOH. In a May 19, 1994 letter, the DOH notified
HELCO of two apparent violations of DOH UIC rules for failure to obtain DOH
approval to construct a replacement well for well No. 2 and to submit an
injection well abandonment application for the well. A well abandonment summary
report (prepared by Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation) was submitted to
DOH in June 1994. In August 1994, the DOH issued a conditional acceptance of the
injection well abandonment. The abandoned well was surveyed, mapped and
permanently marked in accordance with the DOH's list of conditions. Due to the
proposed addition of generating units at MECO's Maalaea Generating Station, a
UIC permit application was submitted to the DOH in September 1994 to install
another injection well system to handle wastestreams that might be generated
from the new generating units. The DOH issued MECO approval to construct the new
wells in December 1994.
In August 1993, MECO and HELCO were informed by the EPA that federal UIC
permits would be required for all existing and proposed injection wells. Under
the most recent agreement between the EPA and DOH, the EPA will allow the DOH to
continue operation of its state UIC permit program. Hence, all affected
injection wells (including dry wells) will be regulated by both federal and
state UIC permits. The EPA issued UIC permit applications to MECO and HELCO
facilities in January 1994. Completed UIC applications were submitted to the EPA
in July 1994. The EPA is currently processing the applications and requested
additional information for several injection wells. HECO submitted a response to
the EPA's questions on one injection well in October 1994 and is preparing
responses to questions on the other facilities. A UIC application was prepared
for the proposed addition of another injection well system at Maalaea and
submitted to the EPA in November 1994.
The Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) governs actual or threatened oil
releases in navigable U.S. waters (inland waters and up to three miles offshore)
and waters of the U.S.' exclusive economic zone (up to 200 miles to sea from the
shoreline). Responsible parties under OPA are jointly, severally and strictly
liable for oil removal costs incurred by the federal government or the state and
damages to natural resources and real or personal property. Responsible parties
include vessel owners and operators. OPA imposes fines and jail terms ranging in
severity depending on how the release was caused. OPA also requires that
responsible parties submit certificates of financial responsibility sufficient
to meet the responsible party's maximum limited liability. Protection and
Indemnity Insurance Clubs (mutual insurance pools) have refused to issue these
certificates because OPA provides for direct liability against guarantors. The
Coast Guard is in the process of addressing this particular issue and adopting
regulations implementing OPA. However, the Coast Guard did issue interim
guidelines in September 1992, which included the requirement that a spill
response plan be submitted by February 18, 1993, and be finalized by August 18,
1993. The EPA and Department of Transportation (DOT) also have similar
requirements for submission of spill response plans. The EPA issued its proposed
rules and guidelines on this matter in February 1993. With HTB exiting the fuel
transportation business at the end of 1993, the Company's freight transportation
operations subject the Company to significantly lessened environmental risks.
HTB's fuel and lubricating oil and the other cargo carried in its barges may be
accidentally discharged into ocean waters causing a pollution hazard, but the
quantities carried do not pose a major environmental hazard. HTB and YB
employees are trained to respond to oil or other spills that occur. The
utilities filed preliminary plans on February 18, 1993 with regard to the
following facilities: to the Coast Guard for the Kahului Harbor terminaling
facility and pipeline; to the EPA for the Honolulu, Waiau, Kahe, Shipman and
Kahului power plants, the Iwilei Tank Farm, and the Ward Avenue facility; and to
the DOT for the pipeline between Honolulu power plant and the Iwilei Tank Farm
and between the Chevron Tank Farm in Hilo and the Shipman and Hill power plants,
respectively. The EPA, DOT
35
and U.S. Coast Guard promulgated regulations implementing OPA in July 1994,
January 1993 and February 1993, respectively.
The utilities have revised or are revising their preliminary response plans to
address the recent rules promulgated by the regulatory agencies.
Air Quality Controls. The generation stations of the utility subsidiaries
operate under air pollution control permits issued by the DOH and, in a limited
number of cases, by the EPA. The entire electric utility industry is being
affected by the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act. Hawaii utilities may be
affected by the air toxics provisions (Title III) when the Maximum Allowable
Control Technology (MACT) emission standards are proposed for generation units.
Hawaii utilities are affected by the operating permit provisions (Title V). The
DOH adopted implementing regulations on November 26, 1993 which require
submission of permit applications for existing sources during 1994. All
applications have been filed as required. Results of further air quality
analyses could trigger requirements to mitigate emission impacts. Reports on
emissions of air toxics could trigger requirements to conduct risk assessments.
Hawaii utilities are also affected by the enforcement provisions (Title VII)
which require the EPA to promulgate new regulations which mandate "enhanced
monitoring" of emissions from many generation units. In response, the EPA
proposed rules on October 1, 1993 which allow for cost effective alternatives to
costly continuous emission monitoring systems. The EPA is expected to finalize
the proposal in 1995.
On November 1, 1989, the DOH issued a Notice and Finding of Violation and
Order indicating that Maalaea units X-1 and X-2 had exceeded operating
limitations of 12 hours per day at various times in 1988. These incidents
resulted from unscheduled unit outages and resulted in no net increase in
emissions by MECO. Subsequently, MECO took both structural and procedural steps
to preclude future violations. An application for a permit modification was
submitted to the EPA, revising the operating hour limitation to annual rather
than daily. Approval was received from the EPA in July 1992. Settlement
discussions have been unsuccessful to date. The DOH is now expected to set a
hearing on the Notice of Violation. Units X-1 and X-2 continue to operate in
compliance with the revised permit.
Initial source tests for HELCO's CT-2 generating unit in December 1989
indicated particulate emissions above permitted levels. Subsequent retesting
confirmed earlier results. Following analysis, HECO (on behalf of HELCO)
proposed in November 1990 that the permitted particulate limit be increased. By
letter dated April 13, 1992, the EPA concurred that revision is warranted. HECO
and HELCO worked with the DOH, the manufacturer and a consultant to determine an
appropriate new emission limit for particulates as well as oxides of nitrogen. A
comprehensive emission test program has been completed and on April 14, 1994, a
final report was submitted to the DOH for its review. On May 5, 1994, a petition
was submitted to the DOH to revise NOx limits, and an application to revise the
particulate limit was submitted to the DOH on August 30, 1994. The DOH had
issued a notice of violation on August 17, 1992 for the non-complying emissions.
In accordance with discussions with the DOH, CT-2 continues to operate pending
issuance of the revised permit.
Emission tests conducted by MECO in January 1992 on the six diesel units at
Miki Basin, Lanai were consistent with earlier indications that emissions were
above permit limits. Those tests results were submitted to the DOH. After unit
adjustments and improvements in measurements of hourly fuel usage, additional
tests were conducted in July and September 1993 which indicated that all six
units are in compliance with permit limits. A report on these tests was
submitted to the DOH. After reviewing the report, the DOH concluded in a letter
dated December 13, 1993 that all six units are operating in compliance with
permit limits. The DOH will determine what action, if any, would be appropriate
for the previous indications of violation.
A Notice and Finding of Violation and Order was issued by the DOH to HELCO on
July 8, 1993 for excessive visible emissions from Shipman Unit 1 on September
23, 1991 and on January 31, 1992. The DOH ordered HELCO to come into compliance.
HELCO's written response to the DOH dated July 29, 1993 stated that HELCO had
come into compliance and identified the cause of the problem as corroded air
heater tubes that were replaced in February 1993. The repairs were necessarily
delayed for approximately one year until there was sufficient island-wide
generation to allow Unit 1 to be shutdown. No further action has been required
by the DOH.
36
Hazardous Waste and Toxic Substances Controls. The operations of the electric
utility and freight transportation subsidiaries are subject to regulations
promulgated by the EPA to implement the provisions of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA)
and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The DOH has been working towards
obtaining primacy to operate state authorized RCRA (hazardous waste) programs.
The DOH finalized RCRA administrative rules in mid-June 1994, with the rules
becoming effective on June 18, 1994. The DOH's draft state Environmental
Response Law rules were just released.
Whether on a federal or state level, RCRA provisions identify certain wastes
as hazardous and set forth measures that must be taken in the transportation,
storage, treatment and disposal of these wastes. Some of the wastes generated at
steam electric generating stations possess characteristics which make them
subject to these EPA regulations. Since October 1986, all HECO generating
stations have operated RCRA-exempt wastewater treatment units to treat
potentially regulated wastes from occasional boiler waterside and fireside
cleaning operations. Steam generating stations at MECO and HELCO also operate
similar RCRA-exempt wastewater management systems. In March 1990, the EPA
changed RCRA testing requirements used to characterize a waste as hazardous
which potentially affected the hazardous waste generating status of all
facilities. A new and more stringent Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure
(TCLP) replaced the former Extraction Procedure (EP) toxicity test and included
additional testing requirements for 25 organic compounds. HECO's continuing
program to re-characterize all HECO, MECO and HELCO wastestreams using the TCLP
test has demonstrated the adequacy of the existing treatment systems and
identified other potential compliance requirements. Waste recharacterization
studies indicate that treatment facility wastestreams are nonhazardous and no
change in RCRA generator status is required.
MECO reported that the Maui County landfills will no longer accept wet sludge
from its wastewater treatment operations at the Kahului power plant. Because
MECO needed to remove sludge from the wastewater ponds to make room for a
forthcoming unit overhaul, arrangements were made with the municipal government
to have the nonhazardous sludge accepted at the County's composting station. On
January 28, 1994, a MECO contractor removed the sludge from the wastewater ponds
for transport to the County's composting station. The composting station was
closed upon arrival and the contractor was instructed to return to the Kahului
plant to wait until the composting station reopened. Through a series of verbal
contacts, the contractor made arrangements to discharge the load to the County's
sewage treatment plant in Kahului. Upon learning of the contractor's action,
MECO management contacted the Maui County Wastewater Treatment Branch to notify
them of the discharge to the sewage treatment facility. The current status of
Maui County's investigation of the sludge discharge is unknown.
The RCRA still regulates most generating stations as RCRA small quantity
generators (SQGs). All facilities listed with the DOH and EPA as SQGs are
believed to be in compliance with RCRA requirements. In July 1994, the DOH
conducted hazardous waste compliance evaluation inspections at MECO's Kahului
and Maalaea power plants to review facility status as SQGs. On October 20, 1994,
the DOH issued warning letters and inspection reports to the Kahului and Maalaea
facilities. Potential RCRA violations and areas of concern were listed for both
facilities. HECO submitted responses to the DOH on December 5, 1994, contesting
most of the potential violations cited by the DOH. With the exception of some
solvent handling concerns, which have been corrected, all other areas of DOH
concern were not RCRA hazardous waste violations. HECO is currently awaiting
DOH's follow up.
RCRA underground storage tank (UST) regulations require all facilities with
USTs used to store petroleum products to comply with costly leak detection,
spill prevention and new tank standard retrofit requirements within a specified
compliance period based on tank age. HECO and MECO initiated tank replacement
programs in 1989 due to the age of their existing tanks. MECO currently operates
a single UST in compliance with DOH and EPA standards. HECO completed tank
removal and replacement projects at all its facilities in 1992. HELCO initiated
and completed tank upgrades in 1992. In June 1994, the DOH requested that HELCO
certify compliance with Federal release detection requirements for UST systems.
Subsequent review of tank upgrades and leak detection systems revealed that
HELCO was not in full compliance with piping monitoring requirements at the Kona
and Waimea operation centers. In September 1994, self-certification statements
were submitted to the DOH indicating that HELCO was in compliance with leak
detection requirements for the Kanoelehua Operations Center UST system, but not
the Kona and Waimea UST systems. The self-certification forms provided the DOH
with a schedule for corrective measures which were completed on September 21,
1994. After conducting a UST leak detection compliance inspection at HECO's Ward
Avenue Complex in July 1994, the DOH
37
issued an August 1, 1994 Warning Letter for deficiencies identified during the
inspection. HECO submitted a completed "Verification of Compliance Status" form
to the DOH on September 12, 1994. The response letter indicated that all UST
leak detection compliance deficiencies cited in the Warning Letter had been
corrected.
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) under SARA
Title III requires HECO, MECO and HELCO to report hazardous chemicals present in
their facilities in order to provide the public with information on these
chemicals so that emergency procedures can be established to protect the public
in the event of hazardous chemical releases. HECO has six facilities, MECO five
facilities and HELCO seven facilities that qualify as "reporting facilities"
under EPCRA. All HECO, MECO and HELCO facilities are in compliance with
applicable reporting requirements, which are made annually to the State
Emergency Planning Commission, the Local Emergency Planning Committee and local
fire departments.
The TSCA regulations specify procedures for the handling and disposal of
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), a compound found in transformer and capacitor
dielectric fluids. HECO and its subsidiaries have instituted procedures to
monitor compliance with these regulations. In addition, HECO has implemented a
program to identify and replace PCB transformers and capacitors in the HECO
system. All HECO, MECO and HELCO facilities are currently believed to be in
compliance with PCB regulations. In December 1994, the EPA published in the
Federal Register a Proposed Rule to amend PCB disposal regulations and HECO is
currently reviewing the proposed rules to determine potential impacts on utility
operations.
By letter dated August 21, 1992 the EPA provided MECO with a notice of
potential liability and request for information relating to a federal Superfund
(CERCLA) closure investigation at the North American Environmental, Inc. (NAE)
storage facility in Clearfield, Utah. MECO was identified by the EPA as a
potentially responsible party for three PCB capacitors originally contracted for
disposal by Westinghouse. Although Westinghouse has already disposed of the
capacitors, MECO was obligated to comply with the information requests attached
to the EPA notice. A preliminary response to the EPA's information request was
submitted to the EPA on October 5, 1992. MECO has since received confirmation
from Westinghouse that the three capacitors were removed from the NAE facility
and incinerated at Aptus (an EPA-approved facility in Kansas) on September 16,
1992. By letter dated December 2, 1992, the EPA notified MECO that a draft
Administrative Order on Consent for the cleanup of the NAE facility had been
sent to potentially responsible parties that have waste remaining at the NAE
site and to parties that have expressed a desire to participate in the cleanup.
MECO did not receive a draft Administrative Order on Consent because the three
PCB capacitors were removed from the NAE facility and incinerated. However, the
EPA has not made final determinations regarding individual liability for cleanup
of the NAE facility. By letter dated February 8, 1993, Westinghouse confirmed
that it would indemnify MECO pursuant to its contract for this matter.
The state Environmental Response Law (ERL), as amended, governs releases of
hazardous substances, including oil, in areas within the state's jurisdiction.
Responsible parties under the state ERL are jointly, severally and strictly
liable for a release of a hazardous substance into the environment. Responsible
parties include owners or operators of a facility where a hazardous substance
comes to be located and any person who at the time of disposal of the hazardous
substance owned or operated any facility at which such hazardous substance was
disposed. The DOH has drafted regulations implementing the state ERL. An area of
potential exposure to liability under the state ERL is the release of oil from
fuel storage tanks.
By letters dated in January and February 1995, the DOH advised HECO, HTB, YB
and others that the DOH was conducting an investigation to determine the nature
and extent of actual or potential releases of hazardous substances, oil,
pollutants or contaminants at or near Honolulu Harbor. The DOH letter to HECO
requested information regarding past hazardous substances and oil spills that
may have occurred at HECO's Honolulu Power Plant and nearby fuel storage and
pipeline facilities, which are located near Honolulu Harbor. HECO is presently
working on its response to the DOH letter. The DOH letters to HTB/YB requested
information regarding past hazardous substances and oil spills that may have
occurred at Pier 21 and Piers 24-29 in Honolulu Harbor. HTB/YB have provided
responses to the DOH letters.
38
By letter dated December 15, 1994, the DOH advised MECO that the DOH was
conducting an investigation to determine the nature and extent of actual or
potential releases of hazardous substances, oil, pollutants or contaminants at
Kaunakakai, Molokai, Hawaii. The DOH letter requested information regarding past
hazardous substances and oil spills that may have occurred in the area of a
former Molokai Electric Company Limited's (MOECO) Power Plant site which had
been located at Kaunakakai. Operations at this MOECO power plant were terminated
in 1985, prior to MECO acquiring MOECO in 1989. In February 1995, HECO filed its
initial response to the DOH's request for information, and filed additional
information in March 1995. The DOH has not replied to the information filed by
HECO.
Both HTB and YB generate small quantities of hazardous wastes as a result of
operations and equipment maintenance activities and have contracted with a firm
to dispose of these wastes in compliance with the EPA regulations and the RCRA
provisions. YB, as a public carrier, also moves hazardous wastes and explosives
for customers. Employees are trained in the applicable handling methods to
assist in the safe movement of these cargoes. Both HTB and YB are subject to the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast Guard which monitors ocean activities to ensure
compliance with federal regulations.
Finally, ASB may be subject to the provisions of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and regulations
promulgated thereunder. CERCLA imposes liability for environmental cleanup costs
on certain categories of responsible parties, including the current owner and
operator of a facility and prior owners or operators who owned or operated the
facility at the time the hazardous substances were released or disposed. CERCLA
exempts persons whose indicia of ownership in a facility are held primarily to
protect a security interest, provided that they do not participate in the
management of the facility.
The EPA promulgated a final rule, effective as of April 29, 1992, to clarify
circumstances under which lenders are exempt from liability under CERCLA. The
EPA final rule addresses the activities of the holder of a security interest
that will and will not trigger liability as "participation in management."
However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated
the EPA final rule in February 1994, finding that the EPA had no authority to
issue a rule defining the scope of the CERCLA exemption from liability for
secured creditors. It is possible that a petition for rehearing may be filed, or
that the U.S. Congress may enact legislation addressing this matter. Although
there may be some danger for ASB of liability for environmental cleanup costs,
the Company believes the danger is not as great for ASB, which specializes in
residential lending, as it may be for other depository institutions which have a
larger portfolio of commercial loans.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), a comprehensive federal law intended to eliminate discrimination against
individuals with disabilities. Several titles of the ADA are applicable to the
Company including Title I, Employment, and Title III, Public Accommodations and
Services Operated by Private Entities.
HEI and its subsidiaries believe they are in compliance with both Title I and
Title III of the ADA. The eventual cost of such compliance activities is not
expected to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company or HECO and its subsidiaries.
39
RATING AGENCIES' ACTIONS
As of March 21, 1995, the Standard & Poor's (S&P), Moody's Investors Service
(Moody's) and Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co.'s (Duff & Phelps) ratings of HEI's
and HECO's securities were as follows:
S&P Moody's Duff & Phelps
--------------------------------------------------------------
HEI
---
Medium-term notes BBB Baa2 BBB+
Commercial paper A-2 P-2 Duff 2
HECO
----
First mortgage bonds BBB+ A3 A
Unsecured notes BBB Baa1 A-
Cumulative preferred stock BBB baa1 BBB+
Commercial paper A-2 P-2 Duff 1-
The Company has been informed by such rating agencies that each of the ratings
referenced above is within a category that signifies "investment grade."
However, each such rating reflects only the view of the applicable rating agency
at the time the rating is issued, from whom an explanation of the significance
of such ratings may be obtained. Each rating should be evaluated independently
of any other rating. There is no assurance that any such credit rating will
remain in effect for any given period of time or that such rating will not be
lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agency if, in
such rating agency's judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such lowering,
suspension or withdrawal of any rating may have an adverse effect on the market
price or marketability of HEI's and/or HECO's securities and serve to increase
the cost of capital of HEI and HECO.
In January 1995, S&P revised its ratings outlook on HEI and HECO to "stable"
from "negative" citing recent PUC decisions which demonstrate a continuing trend
of regulatory support for the electric utility subsidiaries' heavy construction
program and HEI's commitment to a well balanced capital structure. Neither HEI
nor HECO management can predict with certainty future rating agency actions or
their effects on the future cost of capital of HEI or HECO.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
HECO and its subsidiaries spent approximately $2.4 million, $2.3 million and
$2.3 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, on research and development.
Contributions to the Electric Power Research Institute accounted for most of the
expenditures. Expenditures were also made in the areas of energy conservation,
environmental control, emissions control and for other similar studies relative
to technologies with the potential of being specifically applicable to HECO and
its subsidiaries.
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
At December 31, 1994, the Company's continuing operations had 3,386 full-time
and part-time employees, compared with 3,399 at December 31, 1993.
HECO
At December 31, 1994, HECO and its subsidiaries had 2,219 employees, compared
with 2,226 employees at December 31, 1993.
The current collective bargaining agreement between the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Local 1260, and HECO, MECO and HELCO,
covering approximately 63% of the total employees of these companies, covers a
four-year period from November 1, 1992 through October 31, 1996. The contract
provides for noncompounded wage increases of 4.25% on November 1 of each year
during the term of the agreement. The "Flexible Work Hours/Week Schedule" was
the major work rule added to the current contract.
In 1992, the benefits agreement between IBEW Local 1260 and HECO, MECO and
HELCO was modified, and the current agreement will be in effect until October
31, 1996. Revisions were made to the medical plans and postretirement benefits.
40
HTB
HTB has a collective bargaining agreement with the Inlandboatmen's Union of
the Pacific (IBU) effective from July 26, 1990 through July 25, 1995. An 8%
across-the-board wage increase (with further adjustments for licensed seamen and
journeymen craftsmen) was effective for the first year. From July 26, 1991
through July 25, 1995, the agreement specifies annual increases of 4%. The
agreement covers all employees of HTB employed on ocean and harbor tugs and all
dispatchers, but excludes office clerical employees, confidential employees,
professional and management employees, guards and watchmen.
YB has a collective bargaining agreement covering the period of July 1, 1993
through June 30, 1996 with the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's
Union, Hawaii Division, Local 142. The agreement was ratified on December 23,
1994 after eight months of negotiation. The agreement covers all full-time and
part-time receiving and delivery clerks working on the docks loading and
discharging vessels, all maintenance personnel, documentation clerks and
customer service representatives employed by YB in the state. The agreement
excludes confidential employees, professional employees, supervisory employees,
guards and other clerical personnel. The agreement generally provides for a per
hour across-the-board wage increase of 40 cents (1.8% to 3.8%) in July 1993, 20
cents (0.9% to 1.5%) in January 1994, 55 cents (2.3% to 4.1%) in July 1994 and
65 cents (2.7% to 4.6%) in July 1995.
On June 1, 1991, HTB transferred four tugs and vessel personnel to YB. YB has
a "Letter of Understanding" with the IBU, dated September 17, 1991, which agrees
to honor the appropriate provisions agreed upon in HTB's collective bargaining
agreement, which runs through July 25, 1995, as to the transferred personnel.
OTHER
The employees of HEI and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are not covered
by any collective bargaining agreement, except as identified above.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
HEI leases 15,931 square feet of office space in downtown Honolulu. The leases
expire at various dates from March 31, 1996 to April 30, 1999 (with an option
for HEI to extend one of the leases on most of the office space to March 31,
2001). HEI also leases 9,667 square feet of office space from HECO in downtown
Honolulu. The properties of HEI's subsidiaries are as follows:
ELECTRIC UTILITY
See page 4 for the "Generation statistics" of HECO and its subsidiaries, such
as generating and firm purchased capability, reserve margin and annual load
factor.
HECO owns and operates three generating plants on the island of Oahu at
----
Honolulu, Waiau and Kahe, with an aggregate generating capability of 1,263 MW at
December 31, 1994. The three plants are situated on HECO-owned land having a
combined area of 535 acres. In addition, HECO owns a total of 123 acres of land
on which are located substations, transformer vault sites, distribution base
yards and the Kalaeloa cogeneration facility site.
Electric lines are located over or under public and nonpublic properties. Most
of HECO's leases, easements and licenses have been recorded.
HECO owns overhead transmission lines, overhead distribution lines,
underground cables, fully-owned or jointly-owned poles and steel or aluminum
high voltage transmission towers. The transmission system operates at 46,000 and
138,000 volts. The total capacity of HECO's transmission and distribution
substations was 5,673,000 kilovoltamperes at December 31, 1994.
HECO owns a building and approximately 11.5 acres of land located in Honolulu
which houses its operating, engineering and information services departments and
a warehousing center. It also leases an office building and certain office
spaces in Honolulu. The lease for the office building expires in November 2002,
with an option to further extend the lease to November 2012. The leases for
certain office spaces expire on various dates through November 30, 2004 with
options to extend to various dates through November 30, 2014.
HECO owns 19.2 acres of land at Barbers Point used to situate fuel oil storage
facilities with a combined capacity of 970,700 barrels. HECO also owns fuel oil
tanks at each plant site with a total maximum usable capacity of 915,400
barrels.
The properties of HECO are subject to a first mortgage securing HECO's
outstanding first mortgage bonds.
On December 20, 1989, HECO applied to the PUC for the approval of the sale to
Malama Waterfront Corp. and leaseback of the Honolulu Power Plant and Iwilei
tank farm, the approval of the transfer values and the approval of the
accounting and rate-making treatments thereof. Prior to the PUC rendering a
decision on this application, HECO determined that changing conditions altered
the economics of the proposed sale such that a later retirement of the Honolulu
Power Plant may be more favorable. HECO then withdrew its application for the
sale and leaseback of the plant in July 1993.
A brief description of the properties of HECO's two electric utility
subsidiaries follows:
MECO owns and operates two generating plants on the island of Maui, at Kahului
----
and Maalaea, with an aggregate capability of 201.3 MW. The plants are situated
on MECO-owned land having a combined area of 28.6 acres. MECO also owns fuel oil
storage facilities at these sites with an aggregate maximum usable storage
capacity of 145,300 barrels.
MECO's administrative offices and engineering and distribution departments are
located on 9.1 acres of MECO-owned land in Kahului.
MECO also owns and operates smaller distribution and generation systems on the
islands of Lanai and Molokai.
The properties of MECO are subject to a first mortgage securing MECO's
outstanding first mortgage bonds.
HELCO owns and operates five generating plants on the island of Hawaii. These
-----
plants at Hilo (2), Waimea, Kona and Puna have an aggregate generating
capability of 154.6 MW (excluding two small run-of-river hydro units). The
plants are situated on HELCO-owned land having a combined area of
42
approximately 43 acres. HELCO owns 6.0 acres of land in Kona, which are used for
a baseyard, and it leases 4.0 acres of land for its baseyard in Hilo. The lease
expires in 2030. The deeds to the sites located in Hilo contain certain
restrictions which do not materially interfere with the use of the sites for
public utility purposes.
The properties of HELCO are subject to a first mortgage securing HELCO's
outstanding first mortgage bonds.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
Introduction
Decisions on executive compensation for the named executive officers are
made by the Compensation Committee of the HEI Board of Directors (the Committee)
which is composed of five independent nonemployee directors. All decisions by
the Committee are reviewed by the full HEI Board except for decisions about
HEI's stock-based plans, which are made solely by the Committee in order to
satisfy Securities Exchange Act Rule 16b-3.
The Committee has retained the services of an independent compensation
consulting firm to assist in executive compensation matters.
Except for specific compensation decisions regarding Mr. Williamson which
are discussed below, additional information required under this item is
incorporated by reference to pages 18 through 22 of HEI's Definitive Proxy
Statement, prepared for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
April 25, 1995.
Base Salary
Mr. Williamson's base salary is determined based on the recommendation of
Robert F. Clarke, President and Chief Executive Officer of HEI and Chairman of
the Board of HECO, within the salary range recommended by the Committee's
independent compensation consultant and with the Committee's approval.
Mr. Clarke's recommendation is based on an overall evaluation of
Mr. Williamson's performance during the preceding year. This evaluation is
subjective in nature and takes into account all aspects of Mr. Williamson's
responsibilities at the total discretion of Mr. Clarke and the Committee. Mr.
Williamson's base salary was raised from an annual rate of $320,000 to an annual
rate of $336,000, effective May 1, 1994. This action by the Committee was
subsequently ratified by the HECO Board of Directors.
53
Stock Options
The 1994 stock option grant to Mr. Williamson of 15,000 shares of HEI Common
Stock plus dividend equivalents was based on the consultant's recommendation and
the independent evaluation of an appropriate grant level by Mr. Clarke and the
Committee. In this evaluation, the Committee took into account prior grants to
Mr. Williamson and an overall subjective evaluation of Mr. Williamson's job
performance.
HECO Board of Directors
Committees of the HECO Board
The Board of Directors of HECO has only one standing committee, the Audit
Committee, which is comprised of four nonemployee directors: Ben F. Kaito,
Chairman, and Mildred D. Kosaki, Diane J. Plotts and Paul C. Yuen. In 1994, the
Audit Committee held five meetings to review with management, the internal
auditor and HECO's independent auditors the activities of the internal auditor,
the results of the annual audit by the independent auditor and the financial
statements which are included in HECO's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholder. The
Audit Committee holds such meetings as it deems advisable to review the
financial operations of HECO.
Remuneration of HECO Directors and attendance at meetings
In 1994, Mildred D. Kosaki and Paul C. Yuen were the only nonemployee
directors of HECO who were not also directors of HEI. They were paid a retainer
of $12,000, one-half of which was distributed in the common stock of HEI
pursuant to the HEI Nonemployee Director Stock Plan and one-half of which was
distributed in cash. The number of shares of stock distributed was based on a
price of $33.28 per share, which is equal to the average of the daily high and
low sales prices of HEI common stock for all trading days in March 1994, divided
into $6,000, with a cash payment made in lieu of any fractional share. In
addition, a fee of $700 was paid in cash to each nonemployee director for each
Board and Committee meeting attended by the director. The Chairman of the Audit
Committee was paid an additional $100 for each Committee meeting attended.
Effective May 1, 1994, members of the Board of Directors who are employees of
the Company were no longer compensated for attendance at any meeting of the
Board or committees of the Board.
In 1994, there were six regular bi-monthly meetings and one special meeting
of the Board of Directors. All incumbent directors, attended at least 75% of the
combined total number of meetings of the Board and Committee on which they
served, except Diane J. Plotts.
HECO participates in the Nonemployee Director Retirement Plan described on
page 8 of HEI's Definitive Proxy Statement, prepared for the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders to be held on April 25, 1995.

LETTER AGREEMENT BETWEEN HELCO AND HILO
HECO Exhibit 10.3(a)
--------------------
[HELCO LETTERHEAD]
January 5, 1995
Mr. James S. Andrasick
Chairman of the Board
Hilo Coast Processing Company
c/o C. Brewer and Company, Ltd.
827 Fort Street
Honolulu, Hawaii 96813
Re: HCPC Power Plant, Purchase Power Amendment
------------------------------------------
Dear Jim:
HELCO wishes to submit for your consideration this counterproposal for an
amendment to the current purchase power agreement (PPA). This proposal is
substantially based on HELCOs proposal of December 22, 1994, the intervening
Bankruptcy Court proceedings, and subsequent discussions amongst the parties.
Again, for ease of reference the proposal is restated herein in its entirety.
This proposal supersedes all prior proposals relating to an amendment of the
PPA. This letter (the Letter Agreement), when accepted by you, is an
expression of the basis on which HELCO and HCPC are willing to enter into a
definitive agreement to amend the PPA.
1. Agreement
---------
HELCO offers to amend the PPA, as set forth herein and subject to
the terms and conditions herein, along with any other terms and conditions which
are customary for transactions of this type and consistent with this Letter
Agreement.
2. Term of Amendment
-----------------
From the effective date of the Definitive Agreement through
December 31, 1999.
3. HELCO Dispatch
--------------
Minimum of 4,000 KW during 48 operating weeks.
Mr. James S. Andresick
January 5, 1995
Page 2
4. Capacity Guarantee
------------------
HCPC shall furnish HELCO 20,000 KW of capacity up to May 31, 1995 and
22,000 KW of capacity thereafter. (Kilovars to be discussed.) This capacity
guarantee is based on the assumptions that such levels are within HCPCs permit
limitations and conditions, and any necessary substation upgrades (see
Substation Upgrades below) are completed by May 31, 1995 and, therefore, is
conditioned upon compliance with applicable PUC rules and actual completion of
the upgrades on or before that date. Accordingly, the effective date of the
increase to 22,000 KW shall be delayed if necessary until such time as those
conditions are met. HCPC must use its best efforts to meet these conditions in a
timely manner.
5. Plant Shutdown Period
---------------------
HCPC shall have the right to shut down for 4 consecutive weeks during
each twelve-month period. The period shall be mutually agreeable to HCPC and
HELCO.
6. Capacity Charge
---------------
HELCO will pay HCPC for the Capacity Guarantee a graduated capacity
charge which would average out to $218/kw-yr over the contract term.
Specifically, HELCO will pay $167/kw-yr through December 31, 1995 and $231/kw-yr
during the remainder of the term. Such amount shall be payable monthly within
ten (10) days after the last day of the calendar month. Monthly repayment of the
cash advance will be calculated so that HCPCs cash flow from the Capacity
Charge net of such repayments is the same as that which would result from a
levelized capacity charge of $218/kw-yr and repayment in monthly installments
over the term of the Definitive Agreement.
7. Power Sales
-----------
During each contract year, HELCO shall purchase at least 94% on a
weekly basis and at least 98% on an annual basis of the following amounts of
energy (subject to adjustment based on the effective date condition stated in
"Capacity Guarantee" above):
Projected Assumed Contract Contract
Time Period Capacity Guarantee Week Amount Year Amount
----------- ------------------ ----------- -----------
Effective Date
- 5/31/95 20,000 KW 2,025,500 KWH 97,222,000 KWH
6/1/95 - 12/31/99 22,000 KW 2,192,400 KWH 105,235,200 KWH
Mr. James S. Andresick
January 5, 1995
Page 3
8. Energy Rates
------------
The rate for energy shall be the same as provided in the PPA, except
that HELCO shall waive the energy rate discount provision.
9. Fuel Cost Differential
----------------------
It is anticipated that HCPC will exhaust its existing supply of coal
before it is able to order and receive another shipment of coal. Accordingly,
HCPC will be required to utilize diesel fuel to operate the plant from the time
the coal is exhausted and until receipt of the first shipment of new coal
supplies, approximately six weeks from the date of order (the Diesel Period).
HELCO agrees to compensate HCPC for the Cost Differential incurred by HCPC
during this Diesel Period, unless otherwise provided by the Interim Operating
Agreement defined in Section20 herein. Such Cost Differential for this period
shall be the actual price of diesel utilized by HCPC less the cost which would
have been incurred by HCPC had it utilized an equivalent amount of coal for such
period. Such cost differential shall be payable weekly in advance and reconciled
within fifteen (15) days of the end of the Diesel Period.
Provided, however, that HELCO may, at its option, provide to HCPC the
diesel required to operate the plant during this period, in which case HELCO
shall offset the lower of: (a) its cost for such diesel or (b) through January
31, 1995, the cost which would have been incurred by HCPC had it utilized an
equivalent amount of coal against the next due energy payment and no other cost
differential shall be owed to HCPC. After January 31, 1995, during the Diesel
Period HELCO shall offset its cost for such diesel against the next due energy
payment and, in addition, shall pay HCPC one-half of the difference between the
energy payment and the cost which would have been incurred by HCPC had it
utilized an equivalent amount of coal for such period.
Furthermore, during such Diesel Period the minimum power sales levels
in Section 7, "Power Sales," shall not apply and HELCO shall have the right to
place the unit into standby reserve during periods in which the capacity is not
needed by HELCO, such as weekend shutdowns.
10. Substation Upgrades
-------------------
If necessary, and subject to compliance with applicable PUC rules,
HELCO shall upgrade the substation and transmission lines interconnecting the
HCPC Power Plant to HELCOs system in order to accommodate HCPC's supply of
22,000 KW of power. Any costs incurred by HELCO shall be prorated between HELCO
and HCPC in proportion to the relative value derived by each party from the
upgrade, pursuant to terms to be discussed. (For example, if the cost were
$500,000 for an upgrade with a 20-year life, and HCPC derived five years of
value from the upgrade, its share of the cost would be $125,000.)
Mr. James S. Andrasick
January 5, 1995
Page 4
11. Cash Advance
------------
HELCO shall advance to HCPC, upon execution of the Definitive Agreement
and related documentation, a cash advance of $6 million to be directed $3.5
million for payment of its employee severance payments and similar employee
benefit obligations and $2.5 million for power plant capital improvements. With
regard to the $2.5 million, HCPC shall be required to use such funds for items,
such as the stack extension, necessary for HCPC to continue power plant
operations. Such advance is to be appropriately documented, shall bear interest
at the rate of nine percent (9%), and shall be repaid in substantially equal
installments over the term of the Definitive Agreement through an offset of
payments owed by HELCO to HCPC for capacity. In addition, the making of such
advance shall be secured by and conditioned upon HCPCOs arranging for HELCO to
receive, contemporaneously with the making of the cash advance, security
satisfactory to HELCO consisting of: (i) at all times during the term of the
Definitive Agreement, agriculturally zoned lands having a fair market Ohighest
and best useO appraised value at least equal to the unpaid principal balance of
the cash advance (the "Land Security"), (ii) superpriority status pursuant to
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code and (iii) a security interest in the proceeds
of the PPA, to the extent not subject to the existing assignment of proceeds in
favor of the State. The appraised value of the initial 600 acres, as well as any
additional acreage necessary to meet the initial $6 million threshold, shall be
subject to confirmation by a mutually agreed upon independent appraiser. The
Land Security will be released by HELCO ratably as the principal on the cash
advance is repaid. Such security shall be evidenced by the execution and filing
of appropriate security agreements and other documents and shall have priority
over the claims of other HCPC creditors. Furthermore, in the event that HCPC
defaults on repayment of the cash advance and HELCO forecloses on the Land
Security, HCPC agrees to arrange for the liquidation, within 18 months of the
default, of a sufficient portion of such Land Security to cover HELCO's
remaining principal balance on the cash advance and to remit the proceeds from
such liquidation to HELCO in lieu of the Land Security itself. Should the
liquidation proceeds not be sufficient to cover HELCO's remaining principal
balance in full, HCPC shall cause to be contributed and liquidated additional
land to make up the shortfall. Should the power plant be sold or the PPA
otherwise terminate prior to December 31, 1999, or HCPC default on its
obligations to generate power under the PPA or this amendment, any unpaid
balance of the cash advance shall be immediately due and payable.
12. Revolving Fuel Line of Credit
-----------------------------
HELCO agrees to provide a revolving line of credit to HCPC of up to
$2 million, bearing interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, to
facilitate HCPC's purchase of fuel to operate the Power Plant and to finance
other operating expenses currently incurred in the operation of the Power Plant.
Such drawings under this revolving line of credit shall be restricted to such
use and shall be repaid
Mr. James S. Andresick
January 5, 1995
Page 5
through an offset of energy payments owed by HELCO to HCPC until such time as
the drawing is repaid in full; provided, however, that in the event energy
payments are not projected by HELCO to be sufficient to repay the revolving line
of credit within a reasonable revolving line of credit within a reasonable time,
HELCO shall have the right to offset the balance against capacity payments. The
outstanding balance under this revolving fuel line of credit shall be secured by
and conditioned upon HCPC's granting HELCO, contemporaneously with HELCOs
issuance of the line of credit, a lien on such fuel and superpriority status
pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. Such security shall be evidenced
by the execution and filing of appropriate security agreements and shall have
priority over the claims of other HCPC creditors. Should the power plant be sold
or the PPA otherwise terminate prior to December 31, 1999, or HCPC default on
its obligations to generate power under the PPA or the Definitive Agreement, any
unpaid balance of the revolving fuel line of credit shall be immediately due and
payable.
13. Option to Purchase Power Plant
------------------------------
HELCO shall waive the purchase option under Section XVI.B of the PPA.
14. PUC Approval
------------
HELCO shall seek a decision and order from the PUC approving the
Definitive Agreement. HELCO shall have the right to terminate this amendment if
the PUC disapproves, or if the PUC does not approve by interim or final decision
and order, acceptable to HELCO in its sole discretion, which shall not be
unreasonably invoked, within 180 days of the execution of the Definitive
Agreement, inclusion of the energy and capacity costs incurred by HELCO pursuant
to this amendment in its revenue requirements for ratemaking purposes or for the
purpose of determining the reasonableness of HELCO's rates, upon 45 days written
notice to HCPC.
15. Sugar Provisions
----------------
HELCO to waive other PPA provisions relating to sugar, subject to a
more detailed review of the PPA to determine exactly which provisions would be
affected.
16. Agreement Approval
------------------
Any amendment shall be contingent on obtaining all necessary final
approvals of the Definitive Agreement and the proposed transaction, including
without limitation, approvals by the Bankruptcy Court and by the respective
Boards of Directors of HELCO and HCPC. For purposes of this provision, as well
as any other provision herein requiring the parties to obtain certain approvals
(including, but not limited to, PUC approval), the parties shall use their good
faith efforts to obtain such approvals.
Mr. James S. Andrasick
January 5, 1995
Page 6
17. Termination of Offer
--------------------
The offer set forth in this Letter Agreement terminates if not signed
by HCPC and delivered to HELCO by the close of business today, January 5, 1995
(the Acceptance Date), or upon revocation in writing by HELCO at its sole
discretion (Revocation), or upon rejection by HCPC, whichever is earlier. The
offer shall be deemed rejected by HCPC and the offer shall thereupon terminate
(a) if HCPC gives notice of rejection to HELCO, (b) if HCPC counters the offer
set forth in this Letter Agreement, (c) if HCPC ceases production of power or
otherwise defaults on its obligations under the PPA, or (d) for any other
reasons deemed by law to be a rejection of an offer.
18. Termination of Letter Agreement
-------------------------------
After acceptance on or before the Acceptance Date, this Letter
Agreement shall terminate (a) in the event that a Definitive Agreement is not
executed on or before thirty (30) calendar days of the Acceptance Date, or (b)
if HCPC ceases production of power or otherwise defaults on its obligations
under the PPA.
19. Effect of Bankruptcy
--------------------
(a) In the event any cash advance, or drawing under the revolving
fuel line of credit, is made pursuant to the Definitive Agreement and to the
extent they are not repaid from payments under the PPA, as amended, repayments
of such amounts shall constitute a superpriority expense of the HCPC bankruptcy
estate, pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(b) At the same time as HCPC seeks Bankruptcy Court approval of the
Definitive Agreement it shall also seek authorization from the Bankruptcy Court
to assume the PPA, as amended by the Definitive Agreement. HELCOs agreement to
the terms herein is made on the condition that HCPC also assumes the PPA.
(c) In the event there is an occurrence of total default by HCPC as
defined under Section XV of the PPA, HELCO shall have the right but not any
obligation immediately to take possession of the HCPC Power Plant for the
remaining term specified under the Definitive Agreement and to generate power
regardless of whether or not it exercises its Default Purchase Option under the
PPA. To the extent any automatic stay may apply, the parties agree that HELCO
will be entitled to immediate relief from any automatic stay to permit it to
take immediate possession of the HCPC Power Plant and generate power. The
parties agree that in the event of such total default by HCPC, HELCO would have
good cause, within the meaning of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, to
exercise its right to take immediate possession of the HCPC Power Plant and to
generate power, in order to protect its interests under the PPA or the
Definitive Agreement, to protect the
Mr. James S. Andrasick
January 5, 1995
Page 7
public interest and to preserve the value of the HCPC Power Plant for the
purposes of an effective reorganization of HCPC.
20. Interim Operating Agreement
---------------------------
During the period between the execution of this Letter Agreement by
HCPC and the receipt of the cash advance described in Section 11 herein (the
Interim Period), HCPC shall continue to operate the plant and furnish HELCO
20,000 KW of capacity. HELCO and HCPC shall enter into an Interim Period
Operating Agreement on or before the date of acceptance by HCPC of this Letter
Agreement, or as soon thereafter as practicable thereafter, but not more than 14
days, which defines the rights and obligations of the parties during the Interim
Period. HELCO may request an interim decision and order from the PUC allowing
the recovery of energy payments in excess of that under the current PPA.
21. Definitive Agreement
--------------------
Notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, the completion of
each of the transactions contemplated herein shall be subject to negotiation and
execution of a definitive agreement and of all documents related to the
transactions incorporated therein, providing for an amendment to the PPA

As of January 1, 1993, Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) refined its
method of determining costs chargeable to its subsidiaries by identifying
additional common costs categories, increasing the number of cost causation
factors used to allocate common costs and utilizing timesheets. The refinements
resulted in lower allocations to subsidiaries and more expenses retained at
corporate in 1993 and 1994.
HEI's principal segments are as follows:
ELECTRIC UTILITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Hawaii
Electric Light Company, Inc. and Maui Electric Company, Limited, are operating
electric public utilities in the business of generating, purchasing,
transmitting, distributing and selling electric energy, and are regulated by the
Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC).
SAVINGS BANK
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB) is a Federally chartered savings bank
providing a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers
through its branch system in Hawaii. ASB is subject to examination and
comprehensive regulation by the Department of Treasury, Office of Thrift
Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and is also subject
to regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
OTHER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hawaiian Tug & Barge Corp. provides tugboat and charter barge services in Hawaii
and the Pacific area and, together with its subsidiary, Young Brothers, Limited
(YB), provides general freight and containerized cargo transportation between
the Hawaiian Islands. YB operates as an authorized common carrier that services
all major ports in Hawaii under the Hawaii Water Carrier Act and is regulated by
the PUC.
Malama Pacific Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries invest in and develop
real estate.
HEI Investment Corp. invests primarily in leveraged leases.
Pacific Energy Conservation Services, Inc. (PECS) is a nonutility service
company formed in 1994 to promote energy conservation in Hawaii and the Pacific
Basin. PECS had no operations in 1994.
Other also includes amounts for HEI, HEI Diversified, Inc. and intercompany
eliminations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
Company) reported net income of $2.60 per share in 1994, due to the results of
its major operating segments-the electric utility and the savings bank-partly
offset by losses in the "other" segment. Earnings per share from continuing
operations for 1994 increased 9% over 1993 due primarily to increased electric
utility earnings.
Many factors affected HEI's 1994 consolidated results, including Hawaii's
economic environment. Although Hawaii's economy grew rapidly in the late 1980's,
the economy slowed from 1991 through 1993 due to the effects of the Gulf War and
Hurricane Iniki as well as the U.S. and Japan recessions. In 1994, for the first
time in many years, Hawaii's unemployment rate exceeded the national average.
This unusual recessionary period appears to be over. A modest economic recovery
began in 1994 led by Hawaii's key industry, tourism. Visitor arrivals were up
about 5.4% over 1993, the first annual increase since 1990, largely as a result
of U.S. economic expansion and the economic recovery in Japan. However, the
near-term impact of the January 1995 earthquake in Japan, the flood in Los
Angeles and the devaluation of the Mexican peso on visitor arrivals to Hawaii is
uncertain.
The Company from time to time considers various strategies designed to enhance
its competitive position and to increase its ability to adapt to and anticipate
changes in its businesses. These strategies may include the formation or
acquisition of new businesses. The Company may from time to time be engaged in
preliminary discussions, either internally or with third parties, regarding
these potential strategies. No assurances can be given as to whether any of
these strategies will be successfully implemented or any potential transaction
will actually occur, or the ultimate effect of any such transaction or strategy
on the Company's financial condition or competitive position. In 1995, HEI is
forming a new subsidiary to pursue independent power projects in Asia, beginning
with the Philippines.
With continuing economic growth in the U.S. and Asia and the stabilization of
the construction industry and defense spending in Hawaii, Hawaii's economy is
expected to continue its recovery and grow moderately during the second half of
the 1990's. By providing essential services in Hawaii, HEI management believes
that the Company is well positioned to take advantage of Hawaii's projected
growth.

27
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the segment
discussions.
. The increase in 1994 net income from continuing operations compared to 1993
was due to improved results of the electric utility and "other" segments, partly
offset by a 2% decrease in net income of the savings bank segment.
. 1993 results include $15.0 million in after-tax losses from the settlement of
a lawsuit involving the discontinued operations of The Hawaiian Insurance &
Guaranty Co., Limited and its subsidiaries (the HIG Group) and $2.0 million in
after-tax gain from the reversal of a reserve after the sale of the discontinued
operations of Hawaiian Electric Renewable Systems, Inc. (HERS), the Company's
former wind energy business.
. 1993 income from continuing operations was flat when compared to 1992 and
included increases in net income from the savings bank and electric utility
segments, offset by an increase in net loss from the "other" segment.
. 1992 results include $73.3 million in after-tax losses from the discontinued
operations of the HIG Group and HERS. Higher earnings from continuing operations
resulted from increases at the electric utility and savings bank segments.
. The effective tax rate was higher in 1994 and 1993 than in 1992 primarily due
to the following: (1) a 1% increase in the federal income tax rate commencing in
1993; (2) the use of gross-up accounting for income taxes related to the
allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 effective January 1, 1993; (3) the
treatment of Maritime Administration Capital Contribution Fund (CCF)
contributions as temporary (rather than permanent) differences between financial
reporting and tax income under SFAS No. 109 effective January 1, 1993; and (4)
the utilization of capital loss carryforwards in 1992.
. Dividends per common share increased in 1994 to $2.33, from $2.29 in 1993 and
$2.25 in 1992. HEI and its predecessor company, Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.
(HECO), have paid dividends continuously since 1901. Dividends per share have
been higher each year since 1964. Although the Company's long-term goal is to
have dividend growth keep pace with inflation, the Company believes that recent
payout ratios (the percentages of earnings paid out in dividends) have been too
high. The Company believes that a payout ratio of 80% or less is more
appropriate and, in the future, hopes to increase earnings faster than dividends
to reduce the payout ratio. One of the keys to improved earnings is continued
regulatory support as evidenced by timely rate case decisions by the Hawaii
Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Another key to long-term growth in earnings
is growth and expansion of the Company. Thus, the Company is looking at
opportunities to grow in Hawaii, Asia and the Pacific.
Following is a general discussion of revenues, expenses and operating income by
business segment. Segment information is also shown in "Segment Financial
Information" on page 26 and in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."

/1/ The rate schedules of the electric utilities contain energy cost adjustment
clauses under which electric rates are adjusted for changes in the weighted
average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased energy
costs, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power.
Accordingly, changes in fuel oil and certain components of purchased energy
costs are passed on to customers.
28
. In 1994, the electric utilities' revenues increased 4% compared to 1993
primarily due to rate relief granted by the PUC and a 3.2% increase in
kilowatthour sales of electricity, partly offset by lower fuel oil prices. The
kilowatthour sales increase reflects the gradual recovery of Hawaii's economy
and the effects of warmer weather. Fuel oil expense declined because of lower
fuel oil prices and lower company generated kilowatthours. Purchased power
expense was higher due to an increase in kilowatthours purchased. The 11%
increase in other expenses was due to a 14% increase in depreciation expense as
a result of plant additions, a 12% increase in other operation and maintenance
expenses and a 6% increase in taxes, other than income taxes. Other operation
and maintenance expenses in 1994 increased partly because 1993 expenses reflect
a one-time reduction of $4 million due to the establishment under SFAS No. 71 of
a regulatory asset for vacation earned by employees, but not yet taken.
Operating income for 1994 increased 14% compared to 1993 due in part to rate
relief and higher kilowatthour sales, partly offset by the increased expenses.
Consolidated HECO's return on average common equity for 1994 was 10.2%, compared
to 9.7% for 1993 and 10.5% for 1992.
. 1993 revenues increased 13% over 1992 due in part to rate relief received in
late 1992, primarily to recover purchased power expenses. Kilowatthour sales of
electricity for the year were down 0.1% compared to 1992 primarily because of
cooler weather, a downturn in Hawaii's economy and conservation. Fuel oil
expense was lower despite higher fuel oil prices because fewer kilowatthours
were generated as purchased power increased. Purchased power expense increased
with a full year of purchases from a major independent power producer. The 4%
increase in other expenses was partly due to a 4% increase in depreciation
expense as a result of plant additions and a 13% increase in taxes, other than
income taxes. Operating income for 1993 increased 15% compared to 1992 due in
part to rate relief, lower management service fees from HEI and the one-time
reduction in expense due to the establishment of a regulatory asset for vacation
earned by employees, but not yet taken.
. 1992 revenues increased 5% over 1991 due to higher kilowatthour sales of
electricity and rate relief, partly offset by lower fuel oil prices. Higher 1992
operating income was primarily due to rate relief and increased kilowatthour
sales, offset in part by higher expenses. Net income increased 18% as a result
of the higher operating income and higher AFUDC due to higher construction work-
in-progress balances. HECO and its subsidiaries do not provide electric service
to the island of Kauai and were not significantly affected by Hurricane Iniki,
which struck Kauai in September 1992.
COMPETITION
The electric utility industry has become increasingly competitive due to
regulatory and technological developments. Competition is affected by factors
including price, reliability of service, new technologies and governmental
regulations. Competition in Hawaii is also affected by the scarcity of
generation sites and lack of interconnections.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 encourages competition by allowing both
utilities and nonutilities to form generation subsidiaries without becoming
subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. To
date, HECO and its subsidiaries have not faced this type of competition.
However, management cannot predict the future impact, if any, of the Energy
Policy Act of 1992 on the Company.
On the demand-side, a new kind of competitor-the energy service company-is
seeking customers in government and private business and promising to help them
reduce utility bills. On Oahu, one of these companies worked with a large
military housing project, installing energy-efficient equipment that decreased
the facility's electricity consumption by one-third. In August 1994, HEI formed
a new nonutility energy service company, Pacific Energy Conservation Services,
Inc. (PECS), to promote energy conservation in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin.
PECS is considering potential projects to install, finance, operate and maintain
energy conservation equipment, while sharing a percentage of the saved energy
costs with its clients.
29
In response to increased competition, HECO and its subsidiaries are looking at
strategies to enhance their competitive position, including increasing efforts
to provide reliable electric service at a reasonable cost, offering customers
new choices regarding the services provided and promoting new technologies like
electric vehicles.
REGULATION OF ELECTRIC UTILITY RATES
The PUC has broad discretion in its regulation of the rates charged by HEI's
electric utility subsidiaries and in other matters. Any adverse decision by the
PUC concerning the level or method of determining electric utility rates, the
authorized returns on equity or other matters, or any prolonged delay in
rendering a decision in a rate or other proceeding, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Upon a showing of probable entitlement, the PUC is required to issue an interim
decision in a rate case within 10 months from the date of filing a completed
application if the evidentiary hearing is completed (subject to extension for 30
days if the evidentiary hearing is not completed). There is no time limit for
rendering a final decision. Interim rate increases are subject to refund with
interest, pending the final outcome of the case.
RECENT RATE REQUESTS
Postretirement benefits other than pensions
-------------------------------------------
In November 1994, the PUC issued a decision and order in a generic docket opened
in February 1992 with respect to the accounting and rate-making treatment of the
costs of postretirement benefits other than pensions (PBOP). The decision and
order authorized full recovery of PBOP costs determined pursuant to SFAS No.
106, effective January 1, 1995. The decision and order also allowed the recovery
of the regulatory assets related to PBOP costs, over the next 18 years. These
regulatory assets were recognized by HECO, Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc.
(HELCO), Maui Electric Company, Limited (MECO) and Young Brothers, Limited (YB)
for PBOP costs accrued from January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1994 and
amounted to $36.7 million for the four companies at December 31, 1994. This
order will result in additional annual revenues of approximately $10.0 million,
$1.8 million, $1.9 million and $1.0 million for HECO, HELCO, MECO and YB,
respectively, to cover the increase in PBOP expense. See Note 17 in the "Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements," for further information.
Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.
-------------------------------
. In July 1993, HECO applied to the PUC for permission to increase electric
rates, based on a 1994 test year and a 12.6% return on average common equity
(which was later increased to 12.75%). The increase requested, as subsequently
revised, represented an increase of 8.6% over rates in effect at the time of the
revised filing, or $53.8 million in additional annual revenues. The revised
requested increase was needed to cover rising operating costs (including PBOP
costs discussed above) and to cover the cost of new capital projects to maintain
and improve service reliability.
In December 1994, HECO received a final decision and order from the PUC
authorizing a $40.5 million, or 6.5%, increase in annual revenues, effective
January 1, 1995 and based on a 12.15% return on average common equity. The order
granted HECO an increase of approximately $3.5 million in annual revenues, in
addition to reaffirming interim increases that took effect in April, May and
November 1994. The final decision and order, together with the PBOP decision
and order, resulted in $50.5 million of annual rate relief.
. In December 1993, HECO applied to the PUC for permission to increase electric
rates, based on a 1995 test year and a 12.3% return on average common equity
(which was later increased to 13.25%). The requested increase, as subsequently
revised, represented an increase of approximately 5%, or $38.5 million in
additional annual revenues, over rates in effect at the time of the revised
filing (which rates included interim rate relief granted on the 1994 test year
application). The revised requested increase is needed to cover rising operating
costs (including PBOP costs discussed above) and costs of new capital projects
to maintain and improve service reliability.
30
The PUC completed hearings in November 1994 on HECO's rate increase request
based on a 1995 test year. In December 1994, HECO received an interim decision
and order authorizing an increase of $13.2 million, or 1.9%, in annual revenues.
Approximately $10.6 million of the interim increase took effect January 1, 1995,
which was the beginning of the test year. The balance is effective in steps in
May and November 1995. The interim order was based on a 12.6% return on average
common equity.
Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc.
-----------------------------------
. In November 1993, HELCO applied to the PUC for permission to increase electric
rates to provide $15.8 million in annual revenues, or a 13.4% increase over the
rates then in effect. The requested increase is based on a 1994 test year and a
12.4% return on average common equity (which was later increased to 13.1%). The
increase is needed to cover the costs of plant and equipment, operating costs
necessary to maintain and improve service and provide reliable power and PBOP
costs discussed above. In February 1995, HELCO received a final decision and
order from the PUC authorizing a $13.7 million, or 11.8%, increase in annual
revenues, based on a 12.6% return on average common equity. The order granted
HELCO an increase of approximately $0.1 million in annual revenues, in addition
to reaffirming interim increases that took effect in August and November 1994.
The final decision and order, together with the PBOP decision and order,
resulted in $15.5 million of annual rate relief.
. In June 1994, HELCO filed a notice of intent to file an application for a
general rate increase using a 1995 test year. The increase is expected to be
required primarily to cover investments in new generating units. The application
has not yet been filed and may be filed based on a 1996 test year.
Maui Electric Company, Limited
------------------------------
. In November 1991, MECO filed a request to increase rates. In January 1993,
MECO revised its requested increase to $11.4 million annually, or 10% over the
rates then in effect, based on a 13.0% return on average common equity. Most of
the proposed increase reflected the costs of adding a 58-MW combined-cycle
generating unit on Maui in three phases and PBOP costs discussed above. In 1993,
MECO received four interim decisions which authorized step increases totaling
$8.2 million in annual revenues. In August 1994, MECO received the final
decision and order from the PUC granting an increase of $8.1 million in annual
revenues, or approximately 7.0%, based on a 12.75% return on average common
equity. That action, together with the PBOP decision and order, resulted in $10
million of annual rate relief.
. In December 1994, MECO filed a notice of intent to request rate relief, based
on a 1996 test year.
Management cannot predict with certainty when decisions in pending or future
rate cases will be rendered or the amount of any interim or final rate increase
that will be granted.

American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB) earnings depend primarily on net interest
income, the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning
assets (loans receivable, mortgage-backed securities and investments) and
interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities (deposit liabilities
and borrowings). ASB's loan volumes and yields are affected by market interest
rates, competition, demand for real estate financing, availability of funds and
management's responses to these factors. Other factors affecting ASB's operating
results include income from servicing loans and expenses from operations.
. 1994 net interest income increased 4% over 1993, despite an 11% decrease in
interest rate spread, due to a $392 million higher average balance of loans and
mortgage-backed securities. Operating and net income declined slightly due to an
increased provision for loan losses, higher compensation and employee benefits
expenses and higher trading portfolio losses. The decline was offset in part by
interest income on a tax refund from an amended tax return.
In 1994, the federal funds rate, which is the rate charged by banks for
overnight loans to each other and which has a significant influence on consumer
rates, increased 2.5% to 5.5%. In February 1995, the federal funds rate
increased 0.5% to 6.0%.
The demand for mortgage loans has decreased partly due to the rising interest
rates and the slow real estate market. Also, the recent recession in Hawaii
contributed to a trend of increased loan delinquencies. In 1994, nonaccrual and
renegotiated loans increased $17 million and the allowance for loan losses
increased $3 million. As Hawaii's economy begins its recovery, management
expects to see a reversal in the trend of increased delinquencies.
Another unfavorable trend has been the outflow of deposits partly due to
competition from money market funds. In 1994, there was a small increase in
deposits due to interest credited, partly offset by an outflow of deposit
accounts. For funding loans and purchasing mortgage-backed securities, ASB has
turned to higher cost advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and securities
sold under agreements to repurchase. The use of higher cost sources of funds put
downward pressure on ASB's interest rate spread.
The decrease in interest rate spread can also be attributed to the changing
interest rate environment. During 1993, falling interest rates resulted in
improved interest rate spreads as interest-bearing liabilities repriced downward
at a faster pace than interest-earning assets. During 1994, the rising interest
rates caused the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to increase. However,
yields on interest-earning assets in 1994 decreased 48 basis points due in part
to 1993's refinancings and repricing of adjustable loans and mortgage-backed
securities. In the future, ASB's cost of interest-bearing liabilities may
further increase, which may result in a decreased interest rate spread and lower
net interest income. If interest rates stabilize, however, ASB's spread is
expected to improve as adjustable-rate mortgages reprice to market levels.
. 1993 net interest income increased 23% over 1992 due to the significantly
lower cost of funds and a higher average balance of loans. The 1993 interest
rate spread increased 16% over 1992. The increase in net interest income was
partially offset by higher administrative and general expenses, including $0.8
million of higher federal insurance premiums for deposits.
. 1992 net interest income increased 21% over 1991 due largely to a higher
average balance of interest-earning assets, a low interest rate environment and
a 6% increase in the interest rate spread resulting from an inflow of low-cost
deposits. The $290 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning
assets was funded primarily with low-cost deposits.

The "Other" business segment includes results of operations from Hawaiian Tug &
Barge Corp. (HTB) and its subsidiary, YB, which are maritime freight
transportation companies; HEI Investment Corp. (HEIIC), which is a company
primarily holding investments in leveraged leases; Malama Pacific Corp. (MPC)
and its subsidiaries, which are real estate investment and development
companies; PECS, a newly formed energy service company with no operations in
1994; HEI and HEI Diversified, Inc. (HEIDI), parent companies; and eliminations
of intercompany transactions.
. The freight transportation subsidiaries recorded operating income of $3.6
million in 1994, compared with an operating loss of $0.1 million in 1993 and
operating income of $3.4 million in 1992. The increase in 1994 was due in part
to higher harbor assists and contract tows and a gain on the sale of a barge.
Despite YB's rate increases in 1993, HTB's consolidated operating results were
down significantly in 1993 compared to 1992 due in part to lower charter
revenues at HTB, the termination of an oil hauling contract in mid-1992 and
losses on the sale of vessels when HTB exited the heavy fuel-oil shipping
business. The decrease in operating income in 1992 was due in part to higher
maintenance costs from drydocking more barges and higher depreciation expense.
HTB and YB have been hampered by Hawaii's recent recession and decreased
construction activity.
In May 1994, YB filed an application with the PUC to increase rates by
approximately $2.4 million annually. In September 1994, YB filed a stipulated
agreement with the PUC indicating YB and the Consumer Advocate had agreed to
stipulate to a 6% general rate increase, or approximately $2.0 million annually.
The increase took effect in December 1994. Also, see the PBOP discussion under
the "Electric utility - Recent rate requests" section.
. In 1993, HEIIC refinanced the nonrecourse debt supporting a leveraged lease,
resulting in additional income, which was largely offset by the cumulative
effect of the 1% federal income tax rate increase. No new investments are
currently planned for HEIIC.
. MPC's operating loss was $1.5 million in 1994, compared with an operating loss
of $0.6 million in 1993 and $1.3 million in 1992. MPC's real estate development
activities have been impacted by the slow real estate market in Hawaii. MPC sold
fewer units in 1994 than 1993 and fewer units in 1993 than 1992. Writedowns were
taken for the carrying value of certain real estate projects in 1994, 1993 and
1992. See Note 6 in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for a
further discussion on MPC and its subsidiaries.
. The HEI and HEIDI corporate operating loss increased $1.0 million in 1994
compared to 1993 due in part to higher employee benefits expense. The HEI and
HEIDI corporate operating loss increased $4.6 million in 1993 compared to 1992
primarily due to a refinement in the method of identifying costs chargeable to
subsidiaries, resulting in lower allocations to subsidiaries and more expenses
retained at corporate. See page 26 for more information on the corporate
allocation methodology refinement.

ACCOUNTING FOR THE EFFECTS OF CERTAIN TYPES OF REGULATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The electric utility companies and YB follow the accounting prescribed by SFAS
No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." SFAS No. 71
provides guidance in preparing financial statements for most public utilities.
Under SFAS No. 71, if regulation provides assurance that incurred costs will be
recovered in the future, those costs must be capitalized rather than expensed.
If the continued application of SFAS No. 71 would no longer be appropriate--due
to increased competition or regulatory, legislative or judicial actions or
otherwise--the financial effects of the resulting accounting change, including a
write-off of all regulatory assets, could be material.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to numerous laws and regulations which are
designed to protect the environment, and include air and water quality controls,
hazardous waste and toxic substance controls and the Federal Oil Pollution Act
of 1990. HEI's electric utility subsidiaries are exempt from certain
environmental requirements applicable on the U.S. mainland. For example, the
electric utility subsidiaries are exempt from the acid rain provisions of the
1990 Clean Air Act amendments. However, HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to
environmental laws and regulations which could potentially impact the Company in
terms of operating existing facilities, constructing and operating new
facilities and ensuring the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and
toxic substances. Management believes that the recovery through rates of most,
if not all, of any costs incurred by HECO and its subsidiaries in complying with
these environmental requirements would be allowed by the PUC. However, as with
other costs reviewed by the PUC in the rate-making process, costs incurred by
HECO and its subsidiaries in complying with these environmental requirements may
not be fully allowed by the PUC for rate-making purposes. Based on information
available to the Company, management is not aware of any contingent liabilities
relating to environmental matters that would have a material adverse effect on
the Company.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Research is ongoing about the potential adverse health effects from exposure to
electric and magnetic fields (EMF). However, the scientific community has not
yet reached a consensus on the nature of any health effects. HECO and its
subsidiaries are participating in utility industry funded studies on the subject
and are taking steps to reduce EMF, where practical, in the design of new
transmission and distribution facilities. The Company cannot predict the impact,
if any, the EMF issue may have on the Company in the future.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Price Index, averaged 2.6% in 1994
and 3.0% in 1993 and 1992. Although the rate of inflation over the past three
years has been relatively low compared with the late 1970's and early 1980's,
inflation continues to have an impact on HEI's operations.
Inflation increases operating costs and the replacement cost of assets.
Subsidiaries with significant physical assets, such as the electric utility
companies, replace assets at much higher costs and must request rate relief to
maintain adequate earnings. In the past, the PUC has generally approved rate
relief to cover the effects of inflation. In 1992, 1993 and 1994, the electric
utility companies received rate relief, in part to cover increases due to
inflation in operating expenses and construction costs.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONSOLIDATED
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company believes that its ability to generate cash, both internally from
operations and externally from debt and equity issues, is adequate to maintain
sufficient liquidity to fund its construction programs and to cover debt and
other cash requirements in the foreseeable future.
The Company's total assets were $5.2 billion and $4.5 billion at December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively. Asset growth in 1994 stemmed from growth in ASB's
loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and capital expenditures by the
electric utility companies.
The consolidated capital structure of HEI was as follows:
December 31 1994 1993
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(in millions)
Short-term borrowings $ 137 8% $ 40 3%
Long-term debt, net 718 44 698 47

Common stock equity 682 42 643 44
------------------------------------------------------------------------

========================================================================
ASB's deposit liabilities, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are not included in the table above.
HEI plans to maintain its debt and equity structure close to the levels at
December 31, 1994 and 1993 through the issuance of short-term and long-term
debt, the issuance of preferred stock by the electric utilities, retained
earnings and the issuance of common stock by HEI through public offerings, the
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and other plans.
As of February 15, 1995, the Standard & Poor's (S&P), Moody's Investors
Service (Moody's) and Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co.'s (Duff & Phelps) ratings
of HEI's and HECO's securities were as follows:

Commercial paper A-2 P-2 Duff 2
HECO

Cumulative preferred stock BBB baa1 BBB+
Commercial paper A-2 P-2 Duff 1-
The above ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any securities,
and such ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the
rating agencies.
In January 1995, S&P revised its ratings outlook on HEI and HECO to "stable"
from "negative" citing recent PUC decisions which demonstrate a continuing trend
of regulatory support for the electric utility subsidiaries' heavy construction
program and HEI's commitment to a well balanced capital structure. Neither HEI
nor HECO management can predict with certainty future rating agency actions or
their effects on the future cost of capital to HEI or HECO.
At December 31, 1994, $178 million of a $250 million registered medium-term
note program was available for offering by HEI.
35
Operating activities provided net cash of $130 million in 1994, $139 million
in 1993 and $98 million in 1992. Investing activities such as capital
expenditures and the origination and purchases of loans and mortgage-backed
securities accounted for a significant portion of the net cash used of $713
million in 1994, $352 million in 1993 and $392 million in 1992. Financing
activities provided net cash of $554 million in 1994, $172 million in 1993 and
$395 million in 1992. In 1994, significant amounts of cash came from the net
increases in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase and short-term borrowings.
A portion of net assets of HECO and ASB are not available for transfer to HEI
in the form of dividends, loans or advances without regulatory approval.
However, such restrictions are not expected to significantly affect the
operations of HEI, its ability to pay dividends on its common stock or its
ability to meet other cash obligations. (See Note 18 in the "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.")
Total HEI consolidated financing requirements for 1995 through 1999, including
net capital expenditures, debt retirements (excluding repayments of Advances to
Federal Home Loan Bank and repurchases of securities sold under agreements to
repurchase) and sinking fund requirements, are currently estimated to total $1.1
billion. Of this amount, approximately $0.8 billion are for net capital
expenditures (mostly relating to the electric utility companies' net capital
expenditures described below). HEI consolidated internal sources, after the
payment of HEI dividends, are expected to provide approximately 56% of the
consolidated financing requirements, with debt and equity financing providing
the remaining requirements. Over the five-year period 1995 through 1999, HEI
estimates that it will require approximately $161 million in common equity,
other than retained earnings, which is expected to be provided principally by
HEI's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and the Hawaiian Electric
Industries Retirement Savings Plan.
Following is a discussion of the liquidity and capital resources of HEI's
largest segments.
ELECTRIC UTILITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HECO's consolidated capital structure was as follows:
December 31 1994 1993
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(in millions)
Short-term borrowings from
nonaffiliates and affiliate $ 118 9% $ 41 3%
Long-term debt, net 489 37 485 41

Common stock equity 634 47 570 48
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$1,334 100% $1,191 100%
========================================================================
In 1994, the electric utility companies used $186 million in cash for capital
expenditures and $29 million for common stock dividends. Operations provided
$102 million in cash and $15 million of cash came from third-party contributions
in aid of construction. Financing activities provided $78 million, including a
$77 million net increase in short-term borrowings. Also, HEI provided $30
million of cash through its purchase of HECO common stock.
The electric utility's consolidated financing requirements for 1995 through
1999, including net capital expenditures, debt retirements and sinking fund
requirements, are estimated to total $850 million. HECO's consolidated internal
sources, after the payment of common stock and preferred stock dividends, are
currently expected to provide approximately 60% of the total $850 million
requirements, with debt and equity financing providing the remaining
requirements. HECO currently estimates that it will require approximately $60
million in common equity, other than retained earnings, over the five-year
period 1995 through 1999. The PUC must approve issuances of long-term debt and
equity for HECO, HELCO and MECO.
36
Capital expenditures include the costs of projects which are required to meet
expected load growth, to improve reliability and to replace and upgrade existing
equipment. Net capital expenditures for the five-year period 1995 through 1999
are currently estimated to total $750 million. Approximately 70% of gross
capital expenditures, including AFUDC and capital expenditures funded by third
party cash contributions in aid of construction, is for transmission and
distribution projects, with the remaining 30% primarily for generation projects.
At December 31, 1994, purchase commitments other than fuel and power purchase
contracts were approximately $83 million, including amounts for construction
projects. (Also see Note 4 in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"
for a discussion of fuel and power purchase commitments.)
For 1995, electric utility net capital expenditures are estimated to be $170
million and gross capital expenditures are estimated to be $205 million, of
which approximately 65% is for transmission and distribution projects. An
estimated $40 million is planned for new generation projects. Drawdowns of
proceeds from the sale of tax-exempt special purpose revenue bonds, sales of
common stock to HEI and the generation of funds from internal sources are
expected to provide the cash needed for the net capital expenditures.
Capital expenditure estimates and the timing of construction projects are
reviewed periodically by management and may change significantly as a result of
many considerations, including changes in economic conditions, changes in
forecasts of kilowatthour sales and peak load, the availability of alternate
energy and purchased power, the availability of generating sites and
transmission and distribution corridors, the ability to obtain adequate and
timely rate relief, escalation in construction costs, demand-side management
programs and requirements of environmental and other regulatory and permitting
authorities.
In January 1995, the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii
issued tax-exempt special purpose revenue bonds in the principal amount of $47
million, with a maturity of 30 years and a fixed coupon interest rate of 6.60%,
and loaned the proceeds from the sale to HECO, HELCO and MECO. The bonds were
issued at a discount, resulting in a yield of approximately 6.75%. As of
December 31, 1994, an additional $170 million of revenue bonds had been
authorized by the Hawaii Legislature for issuance prior to the end of 1997.

As of September 30, 1994, ASB was the fourth largest financial institution in
the state based on total assets of $2.9 billion. In 1994, ASB's total assets
increased primarily due to originations and purchases of loans and mortgage-
backed securities of $937 million, partly offset by repayments of $413 million.
Loans and deposits continued to grow in 1994, although at a slower pace than in
1993 and 1992.
At December 31, 1994, loans which do not accrue interest totaled $23.8
million or 1.31% of net loans outstanding. At the end of 1994, there were only
three properties acquired in settlement of loans valued at $0.8 million.
For 1994, cash used by investing activities was $540 million, due largely to
the origination of loans receivable and the purchase of mortgage-backed
securities, partly offset by principal repayments. Cash provided by financing
activities included a net increase of $327 million in advances from the Federal
Home Loan Bank, $122 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase
and $38 million in deposit liabilities, partly offset by common stock dividends
of $15 million.
37
Deposits traditionally have been the principal source of ASB's funds for use
in lending, meeting liquidity requirements and making investments. ASB also
derives funds from receipt of interest and principal on outstanding loans
receivable and mortgage-backed securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Seattle, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other
sources. In the last two years, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank have
become a more significant source of funds as the demand for deposits has
decreased. Using higher cost sources of funds puts downward pressure on ASB's
net interest income.
Minimum liquidity levels are currently governed by the regulations adopted by
the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). ASB was in compliance with OTS liquidity
requirements as of December 31, 1994.
OTS regulations require each savings association to have regulatory capital at
least sufficient to meet three requirements: tangible capital and core
(leverage) capital of 1.5% and 3.0%, respectively, of adjusted total assets; and
a risk-based capital standard equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. As of
December 31, 1994, ASB was in compliance with the minimum capital requirements
with a tangible capital ratio of 4.9%, a core capital ratio of 5.2% and a risk-
based capital ratio of 11.4%.
The OTS adopted a rule adding an interest rate risk (IRR) component to the
existing risk-based capital requirement. Institutions with an "above normal"
level of IRR exposure may be required to hold additional capital. "Above normal"
IRR is defined as any percentage decline in market value of an institution's
portfolio equity in excess of 2% of the market value of its assets which would
result from an immediate 200 basis point change in interest rates. Although the
regulation generally became effective January 1, 1994, the IRR capital
deduction, which was to go into effect with the September 1994 Thrift Financial
Report, has been waived until the OTS finalizes the process under which
institutions may appeal such capital deductions. This means that in calculating
the risk-based capital requirement, ASB was not required to deduct capital for
IRR, and did not report such a deduction for the December 1994
Thrift Financial Report. However, based on the lowest IRR reported as of the
three prior quarter-ends, ASB would not have been required to hold additional
capital at December 31, 1994, if the new rule had been in effect at that time.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 established
a statutory framework for closer monitoring of insured depository institutions
in order to ensure "prompt corrective action" by regulators as an institution's
capital position declines. The OTS rules for prompt corrective action,
effective on December 19, 1992, define the capital measures for five capital
categories (well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, under-capitalized,
significantly under-capitalized and critically under-capitalized), and provide
for progressively more stringent restrictions and supervision as capital levels
decline. To be classified as "well-capitalized," an institution must have a
"leverage ratio" of 5%, a "Tier-1 risk-based ratio" of 6% and a "total risk-
based ratio" of 10%. As of December 31, 1994, ASB believes that based on OTS
capital standards it would have been classified as "well-capitalized" with a
leverage ratio of 5.2%, a Tier-1 risk-based ratio of 11.0% and a total risk-
based ratio of 11.4%.
ASB believes that a satisfactory regulatory capital position provides a basis
for public confidence, affords protection to depositors, helps to ensure
continued access to capital markets on favorable terms and provides a foundation
for anticipated growth.
On September 29, 1994, the Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (Interstate Banking Act) was signed into law. The
Interstate Banking Act will create a uniform system of interstate banking in the
U.S. Also, subject to certain limitations, it will permit interstate branching
by U.S. banks, marking a major departure from previous law. Although the
Interstate Banking Act applies only to banks, it could nonetheless affect the
competitive balance among banks, thrifts and other financial institutions and
the level of competition among financial institutions doing business in Hawaii.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION. The financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In
preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of regulatory assets, the allowance for loan losses,
the provision for costs in excess of net realizable values of real estate
projects and the provisions for losses relating to the disposal of discontinued
businesses. Management believes that such assets, allowances and provisions have
been appropriately established in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI), a holding company, and its direct and
indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). HEI's
subsidiaries are Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (HECO), parent company of
Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (HELCO) and Maui Electric Company, Limited
(MECO); HEI Diversified, Inc. (HEIDI), parent company of American Savings Bank,
F.S.B. (ASB); Hawaiian Tug & Barge Corp. (HTB), parent company of Young
Brothers, Limited (YB); Lalamilo Ventures, Inc. (LVI); Malama Pacific Corp.
(MPC), parent company of several real estate subsidiaries; HEI Investment Corp.
(HEIIC); and Pacific Energy Conservation Services, Inc.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION REGULATION. The electric utility subsidiaries and YB
are regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC)
and account for the effects of regulation under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types
of Regulation." As a result, the actions of regulators can affect the timing of
recognition of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities.
INVESTMENTS.
DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES. In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities." The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115
effective January 1, 1994, and the implementation of SFAS No. 115 did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold
to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at
amortized cost.
Equity securities (with readily determinable fair values) and debt securities
that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near
term are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.
Equity securities (with readily determinable fair values) and debt securities
not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are
classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate
component of stockholders' equity.
43
OTHER INVESTMENTS. Investments in joint ventures and other investments for
which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the
operating and financing policies of the enterprise are accounted for under the
equity method.
For held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale investments and other
investments described above, declines in value determined to be other than
temporary are reflected in net income. The specific identification method is
used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of securities.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost. The cost of plant constructed by the electric utility subsidiaries
includes applicable engineering, supervision, administrative and general
expenses, and an allowance for the cost of funds used during the construction
period. Upon the ordinary retirement or sale of electric utility plant, no gain
or loss is recognized. The cost of the plant retired or sold and the cost of
removal (net of salvage obtained) are charged to accumulated depreciation.
POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. Pension costs are charged primarily
to expense and electric utility plant. The Company's policy is to fund pension
costs in amounts consistent with the requirements of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act.
Certain health care and/or life insurance benefits are provided to retired
employees (substantially all of whom become eligible for these benefits upon
retirement) and the employees' beneficiaries and covered dependents. Effective
January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," which requires that
the expected cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions be accrued
during the years in which employees render service (see Note 17). Previously,
the cost of these benefits were recognized when paid. The resulting change in
the method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions had no
material effect on net income for 1993, primarily due to the regulated nature of
the electric utility subsidiaries and YB.
In November 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." This statement requires employers to recognize the
obligation to provide postemployment benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 43,
"Accounting for Compensated Absences," if the obligation is attributable to
employees' services already rendered, employees' rights to those benefits
accumulate or vest, payment of the benefits is probable, and the amount of the
benefits can be reasonably estimated. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 112 on January 1, 1994. The implementation of SFAS No. 112 did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed
primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.
Goodwill relates to the acquisition of ASB and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 25 years. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized
each year at the greater of the actual attrition rate of such deposit base or
10% of the original value. Subsequent to its acquisition, ASB evaluates whether
later events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining
estimated useful life of an intangible asset may warrant revision or that the
remaining balance of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. When factors
indicate that an intangible asset should be evaluated for possible impairment,
ASB will use an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining
useful life of the asset in measuring whether the intangible asset is
recoverable.
44
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES. In general, environmental contamination treatment
costs are charged to expense, unless it is probable such costs will be recovered
through rates authorized by the PUC. Also, environmental costs are capitalized
if: the costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or
efficiency of property owned; the costs mitigate or prevent environmental
contamination that has yet to occur and that otherwise may result from future
operations; or the costs are incurred in preparing property for sale.
Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts
are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Corresponding regulatory
assets are recorded when it is probable that such costs would be allowed by the
PUC as reasonable and necessary costs of service to be recovered in future
rates.
INCOME TAXES. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes" effective January 1, 1993. Previously, income taxes were
recognized in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 11. The resulting change in the method of accounting for income
taxes had no material effect on net income for 1993, primarily due to the
regulated nature of the electric utility subsidiaries and YB (see Note 14).
Federal and state tax credits are deferred and amortized over the estimated
useful lives of the properties which qualified for the credits.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE. Earnings per common share are based upon the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The dilutive
effect of stock options is not material.
CASH FLOWS. The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, deposits
with the Federal Home Loan Bank, money market accounts, certificates of deposit,
short-term commercial paper and reverse repurchase agreements with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash and equivalents.
RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1994 presentation.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES - 1995 IMPLEMENTATION. In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No.
114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, effective January 1,
1995. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
condition and, in the opinion of management, will not have a material effect on
the Company's 1995 results of operations.
ELECTRIC UTILITY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRIBUTIONS IN AID OF CONSTRUCTION. The electric utility subsidiaries receive
contributions from customers for special construction requirements. As directed
by the PUC, the contributions are amortized on a straight-line basis over 30
years which approximates the estimated useful lives of the facilities for which
the contributions were received. This amortization is an offset against
depreciation expense.
ELECTRIC UTILITY REVENUES. Electric utility revenues are based on rates
authorized by the PUC and include revenues applicable to electric energy
consumed in the accounting period but not yet billed to the customers. The rate
schedules of the electric utility subsidiaries include energy cost adjustment
clauses under which electric rates are adjusted for changes in the weighted
average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased power, and
the relative amounts of company-generated and purchased power.
45
SAVINGS BANK
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOANS RECEIVABLE. Any discount or premium on loans is amortized over the
estimated life of the loan using the level-yield method.
The valuation allowance for estimated losses on loans receivable is provided
to the extent that such losses are expected to be incurred.
The accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when the loan becomes more
than 90 days delinquent or on an earlier basis when there is reasonable doubt as
to its collectability.
REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED IN SETTLEMENT OF LOANS. Real estate acquired in settlement
of loans is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling
expenses.
LOAN ORIGINATION AND COMMITMENT FEES. Loan origination fees (net of direct loan
origination costs) are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of yield over
the life of the loan. Nonrefundable commitment fees (net of direct loan
origination costs, if applicable) for commitments to originate or purchase loans
are deferred and, if the commitment is exercised, recognized as an adjustment of
yield over the life of the loan. If the commitment expires unexercised,
nonrefundable commitment fees are recognized as income upon expiration of the
commitment.
2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC RENEWABLE SYSTEMS, INC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In October 1992, the HEI Board of Directors ratified management's September 30,
1992 plan to exit the nonutility wind energy business because of chronic
mechanical problems with its wind turbines and continuing operating losses. In
March 1993, HEI sold the stock of Hawaiian Electric Renewable Systems, Inc.
(HERS) to The New World Power Corporation for an amount which was not material.
In 1993, in connection with the sale of HERS, HEI reversed reserves for HERS'
disposal costs that were no longer needed due to the terms of the sale,
resulting in a gain on disposal of $2.0 million (net of $1.2 million of income
taxes).
In 1992, HERS operating revenues were $0.6 million, loss from operations was
$5.5 million (net of $8.1 million of income tax benefits) and loss on disposal
was $8.1 million (net of $9.0 million of income tax benefits).
THE HAWAIIAN INSURANCE & GUARANTY COMPANY, LIMITED
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hawaiian Insurance & Guaranty Company, Limited (HIG) and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the HIG Group) are property and casualty insurance companies.
HEIDI was the holder of record of all the common stock of HIG until August 16,
1994. In December 1992, due to a significant increase in the estimate of
policyholder claims from Hurricane Iniki, the HEI Board of Directors had
concluded that it would not contribute additional capital to HIG and the
remaining investment in the HIG Group was written off. On December 24, 1992, a
formal rehabilitation order vested full control over the HIG Group in the
Insurance Commissioner (the Rehabilitator) and her deputies.
46
On April 12, 1993, the Rehabilitator, the HIG Group and others filed a
complaint against HEI, HEIDI and others. The complaint, which was subsequently
amended, set forth several separate counts, including claims to the effect that
HEI and/or HEIDI should be held liable for HIG's obligations and claims that
directors and officers of HEI, HEIDI and the HIG Group were responsible for the
losses suffered by the HIG Group. In 1994, HEI, HEIDI, the named directors and
officers, the Rehabilitator and others signed an agreement to settle the
lawsuit. In August 1994, $32 million was disbursed to the Rehabilitator, at
which time a release of claims against HEI, its affiliates and their past and
present officers and directors became effective. HEI is seeking reimbursement
for the settlement and defense costs from its insurance carriers. One of HEI's
insurance carriers has filed a declaratory relief action seeking resolution of
insurance coverage and other policy issues, and HEI has filed counterclaims.
Trial is scheduled for October 1995. Recoveries from HEI's insurance carriers,
if any, will be recognized when realized.
The settlement of the lawsuit resulted in a loss on disposal of $15.0 million
(net of $9.2 million of income tax benefits) in 1993. In 1992, HIG operating
revenues were $80.7 million, loss from operations was $51.6 million (net of
$28.5 million of income tax benefits) and loss on disposal was $8.1 million (net
of $5.0 million of income tax benefits).
In December 1994, five insurance agencies, which had served as insurance
agents for the HIG Group, filed a complaint against HEI, HEIDI and others. The
complaint set forth several causes of action, including breach of contract and
piercing the corporate veil. The plaintiffs ask for relief from the defendants,
including compensatory damages for lost commissions, lost business and lost
profits in an amount to be proven at trial and punitive damages. In the opinion
of management, losses, if any, resulting from the ultimate outcome of the
lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK. Certain cumulative preferred shares of HECO and its
subsidiaries are redeemable at the option of the respective company at a premium
or par. The remaining cumulative preferred shares are subject to mandatory
sinking fund provisions at par and optional redemption provisions at a premium.
The total sinking fund requirements on preferred stock subject to mandatory
redemption from 1995 to 1999 are $2 million each year.
INDEBTEDNESS. See Notes 10 and 11.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS. The electric utility subsidiaries derived 10% of their
operating revenues from the sale of electricity to various federal government
agencies amounting to $89 million in 1994, $91 million in 1993 and $78 million
in 1992.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.
FUEL CONTRACTS AND OTHER PURCHASE COMMITMENTS. HECO and its subsidiaries have
contractual agreements to purchase a minimum amount of 0.5% sulfur residual fuel
oil and 0.4% sulfur diesel fuel through 1995. The prices under these contracts
are tied to market prices of petroleum products as reported in Singapore and the
U.S. Pacific Northwest. Based on the average price per barrel prevailing on
January 1, 1995, the estimated amount of required purchases for 1995 is $171
million. The actual amount of purchases in 1995 could vary substantially from
such estimates as a result of changes in market prices and other factors. HECO
and its subsidiaries purchased $186 million, $205 million and $216 million of
fuel under these or prior contractual agreements in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. New contracts to replace expiring ones are expected to be entered
into in the normal course of business.
At December 31, 1994, HECO and its subsidiaries had purchase commitments,
other than fuel and power purchase contracts, amounting to approximately $83
million.
POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS. At December 31, 1994, HECO and its subsidiaries had
power purchase agreements for 465 megawatts (MW) of firm capacity representing
approximately 22% of the total of their generating capabilities and purchased
power firm capacities. Rate recovery is allowed for energy and firm capacity
payments under these agreements. Assuming that each of the agreements remains
in place and the minimum availability criteria in the power purchase agreements
are met [including HELCO's agreement in principle with Hilo Coast Processing
Company (HCPC)-see discussion which follows], aggregate minimum fixed capacity
charges are expected to be approximately $107 million in 1995, $109 million in
each of 1996 and 1997, $106 million in 1998, $109 million in 1999 and $2.1
billion thereafter.
In general, payments under the power purchase agreements for 465 MW of firm
capacity are based upon available capacity and energy. Payments for capacity
generally are not required if the contracted capacity is not available, and
payments are reduced, under certain conditions, if available capacity drops
below contracted levels. In general, the payment rates for capacity have been
predetermined for the terms of the agreements. The energy payment will vary over
the terms of the agreements and HECO and its subsidiaries may pass on changes in
the fuel component of the energy charges to customers through the energy cost
adjustment clause in its rate schedules. HECO and its subsidiaries do not
operate nor participate in the operation of any of the facilities that provide
power under the agreements. Title to the facilities does not pass to HECO nor
its subsidiaries upon expiration of the agreements, and the agreements do not
contain bargain purchase options with respect to the facilities.
49
HELCO has a power purchase agreement with HCPC for 18 MW of firm capacity. On
December 12, 1994, HCPC filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition and advised HELCO
that it would cease operating its plant in December 1994. HELCO obtained a
temporary restraining order and, later, an extension of such order, requiring
HCPC to continue operations of the HCPC facility through March 7, 1995, with
HELCO to pay an additional amount for the power HCPC supplies. On January 5,
1995, HELCO and HCPC entered into an agreement in principle, subject to the
negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, amending the existing power
purchase agreement through December 1999. The definitive agreement must be
approved by the bankruptcy court and is subject to cancellation by HELCO if not
approved by the PUC within 180 days of its execution. If unable to purchase
power from HCPC as contemplated by the agreement in principle, HELCO would be
operating with a slim generation margin and might have to initiate planned
service interruptions (rolling blackouts) until it is able to arrange for
additional generation.
HELCO RELIABILITY INVESTIGATION. In July 1991, following service interruptions
and rolling blackouts instituted on the island of Hawaii, the PUC initiated an
investigation into the reliability of HELCO's system and held hearings. Further
hearings were held in July 1992 following additional service interruptions and
rolling blackouts. The PUC may formulate minimum reliability standards for
HELCO, use the standards to assess HELCO's system reliability, and re-examine
the rate increase approved in October 1992 to see whether any adjustments are
appropriate. In the opinion of management, any adjustment by the PUC to its
October 1992 rate increase resulting from the reliability investigation would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
Subsequent to the hearings on HELCO's reliability, HELCO's generation margin
improved. However, HELCO's generation margin was adversely affected by the
cessation of operations by Hamakua Sugar Company in 1994 and will be further
adversely affected if an agreement in principle that HELCO has reached with HCPC
is not implemented. See "Power purchase agreements" above.
HELCO is proceeding with plans to install two 20-MW combustion turbines in
1995 or 1996, followed by an 18-MW heat steam recovery generator in 1997.
However, two independent power producers have each filed with the PUC separate
complaints against HELCO, alleging that they are entitled to a power purchase
contract to provide all or part of the capacity.
Also, HELCO has encountered procedural and other difficulties in obtaining the
necessary air permit and Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP) which would
allow the combined-cycle unit to be constructed. As a result of these permitting
delays, HELCO's unit installation schedule has been adversely impacted and HELCO
is exploring other alternatives to meet projected energy needs, including any
viable, timely and cost-effective nonutility generation alternative. However,
until additional generation is in place, management believes that there is a
significant risk of capacity shortages on the island of Hawaii that could result
in rolling blackouts.
50
HECO POWER OUTAGE. On April 9, 1991, HECO experienced a power outage that
affected all customers on the island of Oahu. The PUC initiated an investigation
of the outage, which was consolidated with a pending investigation of an outage
that occurred in 1988.
Power Technologies, Inc. (PTI), an independent consultant hired by HECO with
the approval of the PUC, investigated the outage. HECO is implementing certain
of PTI's recommendations and is either studying or disagrees with certain of the
other recommendations. Management cannot predict the timing and outcome of any
PUC decision and order that may be issued, if any, with respect to the outages
or PTI's recommendations.
HECO's PUC-approved tariff states that HECO is not liable for interruptions or
insufficiency of supply when the cause was beyond HECO's control. Nevertheless,
HECO received 3,063 customer claims, which totaled approximately $7.8 million,
within the time limit to file claims. 1,530 of these claims are for property
damage and most have been settled, with no admission of liability, or closed as
of December 31, 1994. The other 1,533 claims involve personal injury or economic
loss, such as lost profits, and generally have not been covered by settlement.
Seven direct or indirect business customers have filed a lawsuit against HECO
on behalf of themselves and an alleged class, claiming $75 million in
compensatory damages and additional unspecified amounts for punitive damages
because of the April 9, 1991 outage. HECO has filed an answer which denies the
principal allegations in the complaint. The class has not been certified. Trial
has been set for January 1996.
HECO recorded a liability of $1 million for the total amount of expected
defense costs and settlements with respect to the outage. In the opinion of
management, losses (if any) in excess of the amount for which provision has been
made, net of estimated insurance recoveries, resulting from the ultimate outcome
of the lawsuit and claims related to the April 1991 outage will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES FEES. HEI charges to HECO and its subsidiaries for general
management and administrative services totaled $2.4 million, $2.3 million and
$5.6 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

ASB has private-issue mortgage-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities
purchased from the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and Federal National Mortgage Association
(FNMA). All such mortgage-backed securities as of December 31, 1994 are
classified as "held-to-maturity" securities.
Contractual maturities are not presented for ASB's mortgage-backed securities
held for investment because these securities are not due at a single maturity
date.
The weighted average interest rate for mortgage-backed securities at December
31, 1994 and 1993 was 6.21% and 6.65%, respectively.
Mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value of approximately $862 million
and $469 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, were pledged as
collateral to secure public funds, deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Seattle. At
December 31, 1994, mortgage-backed securities sold under agreements to
repurchase had a carrying value of $137 million.
ASB did not sell mortgage-backed securities or other securities held for
investment in 1994, 1993 or 1992.
In 1994 and 1993, proceeds from the sale of trading securities were
approximately $59 million and $30 million, respectively, resulting in a net loss
of $2.0 million and a net gain of $0.1 million, respectively. There were no
sales of investment securities during 1992.

===================================================================
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the weighted average interest rate for loans
receivable was 7.73% and 7.63%, respectively.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, nonaccrual and renegotiated loans were $25
million and $8 million, respectively.
ASB services real estate loans ($327 million, $178 million and $311 million at
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively) which are not included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Fees earned for servicing loans
are reported as income when the related mortgage loan payments are collected.
Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Mortgage loan commitments of approximately $35 million are not reflected on
the balance sheet as of December 31, 1994. Of such commitments, $29 million were
for variable-rate mortgage loans and $6 million were for fixed-rate mortgage
loans.
In January 1995, ASB entered into a pool purchase contract to sell to and
service for the FNMA certain 15-year and 30-year conventional fixed-rate, level
payment residential mortgage loans in the amount of $200 million. In addition,
the FNMA agreed to issue its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Securities backed
by these same mortgages.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE. At December 31, 1994,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase consisted of mortgage-backed
securities sold under fixed-coupon agreements. Other than Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) mortgage-backed securities, the securities
underlying the agreements were delivered to the brokers/dealers who arranged the
transactions. The FHLMC mortgage-backed securities are book-entry securities and
were delivered by appropriate entry into the counterparties' accounts at the
Federal Reserve System. At December 31, 1994, the $137 million carrying value of
securities underlying the agreements remained in ASB's asset accounts. The
obligation to repurchase securities sold is reflected as a liability in the
consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 1994, approximately $123 million of
agreements to repurchase substantially the same securities were outstanding. At
December 31, 1994, the weighted average interest rate on securities sold under
agreements to repurchase was 6.22% and the weighted average remaining days to
maturity was 118 days. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase averaged
$21 million, $20 million and $66 million during 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively, and the maximum amount outstanding at any month-end during 1994,
1993 and 1992 was $123 million, $27 million and $125 million, respectively.

As a member of the FHLB system, ASB is required to own a specific number of
shares of capital stock of the FHLB of Seattle and is required to maintain cash
and investments in U.S. Government and other qualifying securities in an amount
equal to 5% of the amount of its savings accounts and other obligations due
within one year.
COMMON STOCK EQUITY. As of December 31, 1994, ASB was in compliance with the
minimum capital requirements under the Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES FEES. In the second quarter of 1992, HEI changed its method
of billing corporate-level expenses to ASB such that only certain direct
charges, rather than fully-allocated costs, were billed to ASB. However, no
change was made by HEI in the manner in which corporate-level expenses for that
year were allocated for segment reporting purposes. Thus, operating income for
the savings bank segment differs from the operating income reported in the
separate financial statements of ASB for 1992 because of corporate-level
expenses which were allocated to the segment, but were not billed. In 1994 and
1993, corporate-level expenses allocated to the savings bank segment did not
differ from the amount billed to ASB, and operating income for the savings bank
segment did not differ from the operating income reported in the separate
financial statements of ASB. For segment reporting purposes, HEI expenses
allocated to the savings bank segment for general management and administrative
services totaled $0.8 million, $0.8 million and $2.0 million for 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively.
6. REAL ESTATE SUBSIDIARY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, MPC and its subsidiaries' total real estate
project inventory, equity investment in real estate joint ventures and loans and
advances to unconsolidated joint ventures or joint venture partners amounted to
$51 million and $49 million, respectively.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. Two joint ventures involve partnerships in which a
director of HEI has significant interests. Another joint venture involves a
corporate partner in which the family of an HEI officer has a significant
interest. Investments in joint ventures with related parties totaled $13 million
and $15 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
55
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES. At December 31, 1994, MPC or its subsidiaries
had issued (i) guaranties under which they were jointly and severally
contingently liable with their joint venture partners for $1.9 million of
outstanding loans and (ii) payment guaranties under which MPC or its
subsidiaries were severally contingently liable for $7.2 million of outstanding
loans and $7.1 million of additional undrawn loan facilities. At December 31,
1994, HEI had agreed with the lenders of construction loans and loan facilities,
of which approximately $13.3 million was outstanding and $7.9 million was
undrawn, that it will maintain ownership of 100% of the stock of MPC and that it
intends, subject to good and prudent business practices, to keep MPC financially
sound and responsible to meet its obligations.

Realized gains and losses from the sale and writedown of other investments were
not material in 1994, 1993 or 1992.
8. INVESTMENT IN LEVERAGED LEASES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEIIC owns commercial real estate which is subject to several leveraged lease
agreements entered into in 1987. The initial lease terms expire in 2009 and
2010, after which the lessees have options to renew the leases at fixed rentals
for additional periods of up to 28 years. The real estate reverts back to HEIIC
at the end of the last renewal term if not purchased by the lessees.
HEIIC also has a 15% ownership interest in an 818-MW coal-fired generating
unit, which is subject to a leveraged lease agreement entered into in 1985 and
expiring in 2013. The lessee has options to renew the lease at fixed rentals for
at least 8.5 additional years, and thereafter at fair market rentals.
56
In 1993, HEIIC refinanced approximately $13 million of nonrecourse debt
supporting one of the leveraged leases, reducing the interest rate from 16.75%

14. INCOME TAXES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In February 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
which requires companies to use the asset and liability method of accounting for
income taxes. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the
financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and
liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such deferred tax
assets or liabilities are realized or settled.
59
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109. The resulting
change in the method of accounting for income taxes had no material effect on
net income for 1993 primarily due to the regulated nature of the electric
utility subsidiaries and YB. For these PUC regulated subsidiaries, the net
increase in deferred income taxes payable arising from the adoption of SFAS No.
109 is recoverable through future rates and has been recorded as a regulatory
asset. In 1993, additional income tax expense of $1.8 million was recognized
under SFAS No. 109 as a result of the 1% increase in the maximum corporate
income tax rate enacted by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.
Total income tax expense (benefit) was recorded as follows:
Years ended December 31 1994 1993 1992

15. CASH FLOWS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION. In 1994, 1993 and 1992, cash
paid for interest (including interest paid by the savings bank, but excluding
interest paid on nonrecourse debt on leveraged leases), net of capitalized
amounts which were not material, amounted to $154 million, $142 million and $159
million, respectively. In 1994, 1993 and 1992, cash paid for interest on
nonrecourse debt on leveraged leases amounted to $9 million, $10 million and $11
million, respectively.
In 1994, 1993 and 1992, cash paid for income taxes amounted to $47 million, $6
million and $29 million, respectively. In 1993, tax benefits were realized from
the discontinued operations of the HIG Group.
61
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF NONCASH ACTIVITIES. In 1994, ASB received $203
million in mortgage-backed securities in exchange for loans.
Common stock dividends reinvested by shareholders in HEI common stock in
noncash transactions amounted to $18 million, $17 million and $15 million in
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Effective in 1993, HECO recognized the estimated fair value of noncash
contributions in aid of construction received in 1993 and prior years, which
increased both plant and contributions in aid of construction by $26 million.
The estimated fair value of noncash contributions in aid of construction
received in 1994 amounted to $6 million.
The allowance for equity funds used during construction, which was capitalized
as part of the cost of electric utility plant, amounted to $9 million, $7
million and $7 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
In 1994, a consolidated real estate joint venture, in which the Company has a
controlling interest, closed on an option to purchase approximately 147 acres of
land. Of the total land purchase price of $9.9 million, the joint venture issued
mortgage notes payable of $8.0 million in noncash consideration.
16. STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the 1987 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended, an aggregate of
1,250,000 shares of common stock may be issued to officers and key employees as
incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock
appreciation rights, stock payments or dividend equivalents.
Only nonqualified stock options have been granted to date. For these options,
the purchase price of common stock was based on the market value of the common
stock on or near the date of grant. Options may be exercised as determined by
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, but in no event after 10
years and one day from the date of grant in the case of nonqualified stock
options.
Nonqualified stock option transactions were as follows:

17. RETIREMENT BENEFITS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PENSIONS. The Company has several defined benefit pension plans which cover
substantially all employees. Benefits are based on the employees' years of
service and base compensation.
The funded status of the pension plans and the amounts recognized in the
consolidated financial statements were as follows:
December 31 1994 1993
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(in thousands)
Accumulated benefit obligation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accrued pension liability $ 4,173 $ 4,349
===========================================================================
Plans with an accumulated benefit obligation exceeding assets were not
material.
Net periodic pension cost included the following components:
Years ended December 31 1994 1993 1992
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(in thousands)
Service cost--benefits earned during
the period $ 16,834 $ 11,423 $ 10,358

Amortization and deferral, net (39,001) 35,607 (5,721)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 19,420 $ 17,670 $ 17,988
===========================================================================
Of these net periodic pension costs, $14 million, $12 million and $12 million
were expensed in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and the remaining amounts
were charged primarily to electric utility plant.
For all pension plans, at December 31, 1994 and 1993, the discount rate
assumed in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit
obligation was 8% and 7%, respectively. For 1994, 1993 and 1992, the expected
long-term rate of return on assets was 8% and the assumed rate of increase in
future compensation levels was 5%.
For most of the plans, the transition obligation (the projected benefit
obligation in excess of plan assets at January 1, 1987) is being amortized
ratably over 16 years beginning in 1987.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS. The Company provides various
postretirement benefits other than pensions to eligible employees upon
retirement. Health and life insurance benefits are provided to eligible
employees of HEI, HECO and its subsidiaries, and YB upon their retirement.
Health benefits are provided with contributions by retirees toward costs based
on their years of service and retirement date. Generally, employees are eligible
for these benefits if, upon retirement, they participate in one of the Company's
defined benefit pension plans. The Company began funding some of these benefits
near yearend 1994. Through December 31, 1992, the cost of postretirement
benefits other than pensions had not been recognized until paid (i.e., the pay-
as-you-go method). Payments for postretirement benefits other than pensions
amounted to $3 million in 1992.
63
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," which requires
accrual, during the years that an employee renders the necessary service, of the
expected cost of providing postretirement benefits other than pensions to that
employee and the employee's beneficiaries and covered dependents. The transition
obligation is being amortized ratably over 20 years beginning in 1993.
In February 1992, the PUC opened a generic docket to determine whether SFAS
No. 106 should be adopted for rate-making purposes. In November 1994, the PUC
issued a decision and order authorizing recovery of the full cost
ofpostretirement benefits other than pensions effective January 1, 1995. HECO,
HELCO, MECO and YB are required to establish trust funds and to deposit into
these funds the recovered SFAS No. 106 costs. The regulatory asset established
from January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1994 for postretirement benefits other
than pensions is being amortized ratably over 18 years beginning in 1995 for
rate-making and financial reporting purposes.
The funded status of the postretirement benefit plans and the amounts
recognized in the consolidated financial statements were as follows:
December 31, 1994 1993

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Accrued postretirement benefits
liability $ 34,535 $ 19,524
=================================================================
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the assumed discount rate used to measure the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 8% and 7%, respectively. For
1994 and 1993, the assumed rate of increase in future compensation levels was
5%.
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost included the following components:
Years ended December 31 1994 1993
-----------------------------------------------------
(in thousands)
Service cost $ 5,269 $ 5,712
Interest cost 10,066 11,216
Amortization and deferral, net 6,734 6,733
-----------------------------------------------------
$22,069 $23,661
=====================================================
Of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost, $3 million was expensed in each
of 1994 and 1993, and the remaining amount was charged primarily to regulatory
assets and also to electric utility plant and other accounts.
At December 31, 1994, the assumed health care trend rates for 1995 and future
years were as follows: medical, 7.5%; dental, 6%; and vision, 5%.
A 1% increase in the trend rate for health care costs would have increased the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1994 by
approximately $21 million and the service and interest costs for 1994 by
approximately $3 million.
64
18. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON NET ASSETS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 1994, net assets (assets less liabilities) of approximately $510
million were not available for transfer to HEI from its subsidiaries in the form
of dividends, loans or advances without regulatory approval. However, HEI
expects that the regulatory restrictions will not materially affect the
operations of the Company nor its ability to pay dividends on its common stock.
19. SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substantially all of the Company's business activity is with customers located
in the State of Hawaii. Most of the financial instruments reflected on the
consolidated balance sheets are based in the State of Hawaii, except for the
mortgage-backed securities. Substantially all real estate loans receivable are
secured by real estate in Hawaii. ASB's policy is to require mortgage insurance
on all real estate loans with a loan to appraisal ratio in excess of 80%.
At December 31, 1994, ASB's private-issue mortgage-backed securities
represented whole or participating interests in pools of first mortgage loans
collateralized by real estate in the continental United States, and
approximately 61% of the portfolio was collateralized by real estate in
California. At December 31, 1994, substantially all private-issue mortgage-
backed securities were rated investment grade by various securities rating
agencies.
20. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each applicable class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value:
CASH AND EQUIVALENTS. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of
the short maturity of these instruments.
LOANS RECEIVABLE. For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some
residential mortgages, credit card receivables, and other consumer loans, fair
value is estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by
similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value
of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using
the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
credit ratings and for similar remaining maturities.
MARKETABLE SECURITIES. Fair value is based on quoted market prices or dealer
quotes.
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES. Under SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," the fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and
certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting
date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated
using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of
the short maturity of these instruments.
65
SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE. Dealer quotes currently
available to ASB for securities sold under agreements to repurchase with similar
terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value.
ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK AND LONG-TERM DEBT. Fair value is
estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on
the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar remaining maturities.
PREFERRED STOCK OF ELECTRIC UTILITY SUBSIDIARIES SUBJECT TO MANDATORY
REDEMPTION. There are no quoted market prices for the electric utility
subsidiaries' preferred stocks. Fair value is estimated based on quoted market
prices for similar issues of preferred stock.
The estimated fair values of certain of the Company's financial instruments
were as follows:
December 31 1994 1993

/1/ At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the other investments for which it is not
practicable to estimate fair value consists primarily of an investment
representing approximately 10% of the issued common stock of an untraded
company; that investment had a carrying value of $5.2 million and $5.5
million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. At December 31, 1993,
the total assets reported by this company were $61 million and the common
stockholders' equity was $56 million. For 1993, revenues were $1.0 million,
net realized and unrealized gain on investments was $8.0 million and net
income was $3.7 million.
/2/ At December 31, 1994 and 1993, neither the commitment fees received on
commitments to extend credit nor the fair value thereof were significant to
the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
/3/ At December 31, 1994 and 1993, MPC or its subsidiaries had issued guaranties
of loans with outstanding balances of $9.1 million and $6.7 million,
respectively. All such loans are collateralized by real property. These
guaranties relate to borrowings from third parties which bear interest at
rates ranging from prime plus 1.0% to prime plus 1.5%. It is not practicable
to estimate the fair value of these guaranties.

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 Company's entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the
Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are provided for certain existing on- and off-balance
sheet financial instruments 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING NOTES.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
EARNINGS
--------
Net income for common stock for 1994 was $61.6 million compared to $51.7
million for 1993 and $49.2 million for 1992. The 1994 net income represents a
10.2% return on the average amount of common stock equity invested in HECO and
its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), compared to returns of 9.7% in
1993 and 10.5% in 1992.
SALES
-----
Consolidated sales of electricity were 8,593 million kilowatthours (KWH) for
1994, 8,325 million KWH for 1993, and 8,332 million KWH for 1992. The 3.2%
increase in KWH sales in 1994 reflects the gradual recovery of Hawaii's economy
and the effects of warmer weather. Cool weather, the downturn in Hawaii's
economy, and conservation efforts resulted in a 0.1% decline in KWH sales in
1993 compared to 1992.
OPERATING REVENUES
------------------
Operating revenues were $907.3 million in 1994, compared to $874.0 million in
1993 and $776.9 million in 1992. The 1994 increase in operating revenues of
$33.3 million, or 3.8% over 1993 revenues, was due primarily to interim rate
increases granted by the PUC to HECO and HELCO and higher KWH sales of
electricity. The revenue increase was tempered by lower fuel oil prices, which
cost savings were passed through to customers. The rate schedules of the
Company include energy cost adjustment clauses under which electric rates are
adjusted for changes in the weighted average price for fuel oil and certain
components of purchased power costs, and the relative amounts of company-
generated power and purchased power.
Revenues for 1993 increased by $97.1 million, or 12.5%, over 1992 revenues
due primarily to the full year's effect of rate relief granted by the PUC during
1992 for HECO and HELCO, interim rate increases granted to MECO in 1993, and the
effects of higher fuel oil prices, which were passed through to customers.
OPERATING EXPENSES
------------------
Total operating expenses were $820.0 million in 1994 compared to $795.9
million in 1993 and $699.9 million in 1992. The increase in 1994 was due to an
increase in purchased power, other operation, maintenance, depreciation, income
taxes, and taxes other than income taxes expense, partially offset by lower fuel
oil expense. The increase in 1993 operating expenses over 1992 was primarily
due to an increase in purchased power, income taxes, and taxes other than income
taxes expense, partially offset by lower fuel oil expense and the establishment
of a regulatory asset for vacation earned by employees, but not yet taken. The
recognition of the regulatory asset for vacation earned, but not yet taken,
resulted in a one-time reduction in 1993 operating expenses of $4.2 million. For
rate-making purposes, the PUC permits recovery of vacation pay expense on a pay-
as-you-go basis.
Fuel oil expense was $186.7 million in 1994 compared to $213.3 million in
1993 and $225.6 million in 1992. The decrease in fuel oil expense in 1994 was
due primarily to lower fuel oil prices and fewer KWH generated. The decrease in
fuel oil expense in 1993 was due to fewer KWH generated due to the full year's
effect of power purchased from AES Barbers Point, Inc., offset somewhat by
higher fuel oil prices. In 1994, the Company paid an average of $18.92 per
barrel of fuel oil, compared to $21.09 in 1993 and $19.69 in 1992.
3
Purchased power expense was $271.6 million in 1994 compared to $258.7 million
in 1993 and $172.8 million in 1992. The increase in purchased power expense in
both 1994 and 1993 was due primarily to capacity and nonfuel purchased power
costs paid to independent power producers, and an increase in the number of KWH
purchased, mostly by HECO. Purchased KWH provided approximately 37.5% of the
total energy net generated and purchased in 1994 compared to 34.9% in 1993 and
26.2% in 1992.
Other operation expenses totaled $121.7 million in 1994, an increase of
$15.8 million over the 1993 amount. The increase was due primarily to higher
production, transmission and distribution, and administrative and general
expenses, including higher employee benefit costs and the absence in 1994 of the
one-time reduction to 1993 expenses due to the establishment of the regulatory
asset for vacation earned but not yet taken by employees. HEI charges for
general management, administrative and support services totaled $2.4 million in
1994, $2.3 million in 1993 and $5.6 million in 1992. In 1993, other operation
expenses totaled $106.0 million, an increase of $0.7 million over the 1992
amount. The increase was due primarily to higher production, transmission and
distribution, and administrative and general expenses, including higher employee
benefit costs, partially offset by lower management service fees from HEI, and
the one-time effect of the establishment of the regulatory asset for vacation
earned by employees, but not yet taken.
Maintenance expenses in 1994 of $46.4 million increased by $2.1 million from
1993 primarily due to the absence in 1994 of the one-time reduction to 1993
expenses due to the establishment of the regulatory asset for vacation earned
but not yet taken by employees, and increased maintenance on the transmission
and distribution systems, partially offset by lower production maintenance
expenses at HECO. In 1993, maintenance expenses totaled $44.3 million, a 0.8%
decrease from 1992, primarily due to the one-time effect of the establishment of
the regulatory asset for vacation earned by employees, but not yet taken,
partially offset by increased maintenance on the transmission and distribution
systems.
Depreciation expense was up 14.0% in 1994 to $63.8 million and up 3.9% in
1993 to $56.0 million. In both years, the increase reflects depreciation of the
Company's additions to plant in service in the previous year. Major additions
to plant in service in 1993 included HECO's Waiau-Makalapa 138-kilovolt line and
MECO's 18-megawatt heat recovery unit (Maalaea 15) and 20-megawatt combustion
turbine unit (Maalaea 16) at Maalaea. Major additions to plant in service in
1992 included transmission and distribution substation projects by HECO, the
addition of HELCO's 20-megawatt combustion turbine unit at Puna (CT-3) and the
addition of MECO's 20-megawatt combustion turbine unit (Maalaea 14).
Taxes, other than income taxes, increased by 6.4% in 1994 to $85.9 million,
and by 13.0% in 1993 to $80.7 million. These taxes consist primarily of taxes
based on revenues, and the increases reflect the corresponding increases in each
year's operating revenues. In 1994, the increase also reflects an increase in
the PUC fee rate from 0.25% to 0.5%, as mandated by the Hawaii State
Legislature.
The effective income tax rate was higher in 1994 and 1993 than in 1992
primarily due to the 1% increase in the Federal income tax rate commencing in
1993 and the use of gross-up accounting for income taxes related to the
Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, effective January 1, 1993. The
increase in income taxes due to the gross-up accounting for AFUDC was offset,
however, by a corresponding increase in other income (see below).
OTHER INCOME
------------
Other income of $14.8 million for 1994 was $3.2 million higher than for 1993.
The increase was due primarily to higher Allowance for Equity Funds Used During
Construction (AFUDC-Equity), reflecting a higher average level of construction
in progress during the year. For 1993, income of $11.6 million was $1.8 million
4
higher than for 1992. The increase was primarily because of the "gross-up" of
AFUDC-Equity resulting from the effects of the adoption of SFAS No. 109, offset
by the income tax benefit related to the utilization of capital loss
carryforwards in 1992.
INTEREST AND OTHER CHARGES
--------------------------
Interest and other charges for 1994 totaled $36.1 million, compared to $33.5
million for 1993 and $33.1 million for 1992. Interest expense on long-term debt
increased by $4.3 million in 1994 and decreased by $0.3 million in 1993. The
increase in 1994 was due to interest on drawdowns of tax-exempt special purpose
revenue bond proceeds during 1994, and the full year's interest on the drawdowns
of revenue bond proceeds and the sale of medium-term notes in 1993. The 1994
increase in interest expense was partially offset by lower interest expense on
first mortgage bonds resulting from the early redemptions in March 1994 of
HECO's 9.125% Series X mortgage bonds of $20 million, HELCO's 8.5% to 10.75%
Series I, L, M and N mortgage bonds totaling $12.5 million and MECO's 8.75% to
10.75% Series I, J, K, L and M mortgage bonds totaling $15.5 million. The 1993
decrease in interest expense on long-term debt was due to lower interest expense
on first mortgage bonds resulting from the redemption of MECO's 6.875% Series F
mortgage bonds of $0.9 million in March 1993 and HECO's 4.45% Series M mortgage
bonds of $16 million in July 1993; the early redemption of HECO's 8.2% Series R
mortgage bonds of $14 million and 8.35% Series T mortgage bonds of $16 million
in June 1993; and the early redemption of HECO's 9% Series Q mortgage bonds of
$23 million in 1992, partially offset by interest on drawdowns of tax-exempt
special purpose revenue bond proceeds during 1993 and the full year's interest
on the drawdowns made the previous year.
Other interest charges of $4.8 million for 1994 were $2.7 million lower than
for 1993 due to lower interest on short-term borrowings as a result of lower
borrowing levels during the year, partially offset by higher interest rates.
COMPETITION
-----------
The electric utility industry has become increasingly competitive due to
regulatory and technological developments. Competition is affected by factors
including price, reliability of service, alternate energy sources, new
technologies and governmental regulations. Competition in Hawaii is also
affected by the scarcity of generation sites and lack of interconnections.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 encourages competition by allowing both
utilities and nonutilities to form generation subsidiaries without becoming
subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. To
date, HECO and its subsidiaries have not faced this type of competition.
However, management cannot predict the future impact, if any, of the Energy
Policy Act of 1992 on the Company.
On the demand-side, a new kind of competitor--the energy service company--is
seeking customers in government and private business and promising to help them
reduce utility bills. On Oahu, one of these companies worked with a large
military housing project, installing energy-efficient equipment that decreased
the facility's electricity consumption by one-third. In August 1994, HEI formed
a new nonutility energy service company, Pacific Energy Conservation Services,
Inc. (PECS), to promote energy conservation in Hawaii and the Pacific Basin.
PECS is considering potential projects to install, finance, operate and maintain
energy conservation equipment, while sharing a percentage of the saved energy
costs with its clients.
In response to increased competition, HECO and its subsidiaries are looking
at strategies to enhance their competitive position, including increasing
efforts to provide reliable electric service at a reasonable cost, offering
customers new choices regarding the services provided and promoting conservation
and new technologies like electric vehicles.
5
REGULATION OF ELECTRIC UTILITY RATES
------------------------------------
The PUC has broad discretion in its regulation of the rates charged by the
Company and in other matters. Any adverse decision by the PUC concerning the
level or method of determining utility rates, the authorized returns on equity
or other matters, or any prolonged delay in rendering a decision in a rate or
other proceeding, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations. Upon a showing of probable
entitlement, the PUC is required to issue an interim decision in a rate case
within 10 months from the date of filing a completed application if the
evidentiary hearing is completed (subject to extension for 30 days if the
evidentiary hearing is not completed). There is no time limit for rendering a
final decision. Interim rate increases are subject to refund with interest,
pending the final outcome of the case.
RECENT RATE REQUESTS AND RESULTS
--------------------------------
HECO. In July 1993, HECO applied to the PUC for permission to increase
-----
electric rates, based on a 1994 test year and a 12.6% return on average common
equity (which was later increased to 12.75%). The increase requested, as
subsequently revised, represented an increase of 8.6% over rates in effect at
the time of the revised filing, or $53.8 million in additional annual revenues.
The revised requested increase was needed to cover rising operating costs
including the costs related to the change in method of accounting for
postretirement benefits other than pensions (PBOP) (which increases were
recently allowed by the final decision in a separate generic docket discussed
below), and to cover the cost of new capital projects to maintain and improve
service reliability. In December 1994, HECO received a final decision and order
from the PUC authorizing a $40.5 million, or 6.5%, increase in annual revenues,
effective January 1, 1995 and based on a 12.15% return on average common equity.
The order granted HECO an increase of approximately $3.5 million in annual
revenues, in addition to reaffirming interim increases that took effect in
April, May and November 1994. The final decision and order, together with the
PBOP decision and order, resulted in $50.5 million of annual rate relief.
In December 1993, HECO applied to the PUC for permission to increase electric
rates, based on a 1995 test year and a 12.3% return on average common equity
(which was later increased to 13.25%). The requested increase, as subsequently
revised, represented an increase of approximately 5%, or $38.5 million in
additional annual revenues over rates in effect at the time of the revised
filing (which rates included interim rate relief granted in the 1994 test year
application). The revised requested increase is needed to cover rising
operating costs (including the costs related to the change in the method of
accounting for PBOP discussed below), and the cost of new capital projects to
maintain and improve service reliability. The PUC completed hearings in
November 1994 on HECO's rate increase request based on a 1995 test year. In
December 1994, HECO received an interim decision and order authorizing an
increase of $13.2 million, or 1.9%, in annual revenues. The interim order was
based on a 12.6% return on average common equity. Approximately $10.6 million
of the interim increase took effect January 1, 1995, which was the beginning of
the test year, and the balance will be effective in steps in May and November
1995.
HELCO. In November 1993, HELCO applied to the PUC for permission to increase
------
electric rates to provide $15.8 million in annual revenues, or a 13.4% increase
over rates then in effect. The requested increase is based on a 1994 test year
and a 12.4% return on average common equity (which was later increased to
13.1%). The increase is needed to cover plant and equipment related costs,
operating costs necessary to maintain and improve service and provide reliable
power, and PBOP costs which are discussed below. In August 1994, HELCO received
an interim decision and order from the PUC on its rate increase application
authorizing an increase of $13.6 million in annual revenues, or approximately
11.7%, and based on a 12.4% return on average common equity. $13.2 million of
the increase took effect in August 1994 and $0.4 million in November 1994. In
February 1995, HELCO received a final decision and order from the PUC
authorizing a $13.7 million, or 11.8%,
6
increase in annual revenues, based on a 12.6% return on average common equity.
The order granted HELCO an increase of approximately $0.1 million in annual
revenues, in addition to reaffirming interim increases that took effect in
August and November 1994. The final decision and order, together with the PBOP
decision and order, resulted in $15.5 million of annual rate relief.
In June 1994, HELCO filed a notice of intent to file an application for a
general rate increase using a 1995 test year. The increase is expected to be
required primarily to cover investments in new generating units. The
application has not yet been filed and may be filed based on a 1996 test year.
MECO. In November 1991, MECO filed a request to increase rates, based on a
-----
1992/1993 test year. In January 1993, MECO revised its requested increase to
$11.4 million annually, or 10% over the rates then in effect, based on a 13.0%
return on average common equity. Most of the proposed increase reflected the
costs of adding a 58-megawatt combined-cycle generating unit on Maui in three
phases and PBOP costs which are discussed below. In 1993, MECO received four
interim decisions which authorized step increases totaling $8.2 million in
annual revenues. In August 1994, MECO received the final decision and order
from the PUC granting an increase of $8.1 million in annual revenues, or
approximately 7.0%, based on a 12.75% return on average common equity. That
action, together with the PBOP decision and order, resulted in $10.0 million of
annual rate relief.
In December 1994, MECO filed a notice of intent to request rate relief, based
on a 1996 test year. In February 1995, the PUC granted MECO's motion requesting
a waiver of the PUC's rule which otherwise provides for a 1996 test year only
when an application is filed in the last six months of 1995. MECO plans to file
its rate increase application in early 1995.
Management cannot predict with certainty when decisions in pending or future
rate cases will be rendered or the amount of any interim or final rate increase
that will be granted.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS. In November 1994, the PUC
--------------------------------------------
issued a decision and order in a generic docket opened in February 1992 with
respect to the accounting and rate-making treatment of the costs of
postretirement benefits other than pensions. The decision and order authorized
full recovery of PBOP costs determined pursuant to SFAS No. 106, effective
January 1, 1995. The decision and order also allowed the recovery of the
regulatory assets related to PBOP costs, over the next 18 years. These
regulatory assets were recognized by the Company for PBOP costs accrued from
January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1994 and amounted to $34.0 million at
December 31, 1994. This order will result in additional annual revenues of
approximately $10.0 million, $1.8 million and $1.9 million for HECO, HELCO and
MECO, respectively, to cover the increase in PBOP expense. See Note 10 in the
"Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," for further information.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
--------------------
Inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Price Index, averaged 2.6% in
1994 and 3.0% in 1993 and 1992. Although the rate of inflation over the past
three years has been relatively low compared with the late 1970's and early
1980's, inflation continues to have an impact on the Company's operations.
Inflation increases operating costs and the replacement cost of assets. The
Company has significant physical assets and replaces assets at much higher
costs, and must request rate relief to maintain adequate earnings. In the past,
the PUC has generally approved rate relief to cover the effects of inflation.
In 1992, 1993 and 1994, the Company received rate relief, in part to cover
increases due to inflation in operating expenses and construction costs.
ACCOUNTING FOR THE EFFECTS OF CERTAIN TYPES OF REGULATION
---------------------------------------------------------
The Company follows the accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 71, "Accounting for
the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." SFAS No. 71 provides guidance in
preparing financial statements for most public utilities. Under SFAS No. 71, if
7
regulation provides assurance that incurred costs will be recovered in the
future, those costs must be capitalized rather than expensed. If the continued
application of SFAS No. 71 would no longer be appropriate--due to increased
competition or regulatory, legislative or judicial actions or otherwise--the
financial effects of the resulting accounting change, including a write-off of
all regulatory assets, could be material.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
---------------------
The Company is subject to numerous laws and regulations which are designed to
protect the environment, and include air and water quality controls, hazardous
waste and toxic substance controls and the Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
The Company is exempt from certain environmental requirements applicable on the
U.S. mainland, such as the acid rain provisions of the 1990 Clean Air Act
Amendments. However, the Company is subject to environmental laws and
regulations which could potentially impact the Company in terms of operating
existing facilities, constructing and operating new facilities and ensuring the
proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and toxic substances. Management
believes that the recovery through rates of most, if not all, of any costs
incurred by the Company in complying with these environmental requirements would
be allowed by the PUC. However, as with other costs reviewed by the PUC in the
rate-making process, costs incurred by HECO and its subsidiaries in complying
with these environmental requirements may not be fully allowed by the PUC for
rate-making purposes. Based on information available to the Company, management
is not aware of any contingent liabilities relating to environmental matters
that would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
----------------------------
Research is ongoing about the potential adverse health effects from exposure
to electric and magnetic fields (EMF). However, the scientific community has
not yet reached a consensus on the nature of any health effects. HECO and its
subsidiaries are participating in utility industry funded studies on the subject
and are considering possible steps to reduce EMF, where feasible, in the design
of new transmission and distribution facilities. The Company cannot predict the
impact, if any, the EMF issue may have on the Company in the future.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
------------------
See Note 1 in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------
The Company believes that its ability to generate cash, both internally from
operations and externally from debt and equity issues, is adequate to maintain
sufficient liquidity to fund its construction programs and to cover debt and
other cash requirements in the foreseeable future.
Capital expenditures requiring the use of cash, as shown on the "Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows," totaled approximately $186.5 million in 1994, of
which $114.8 million was attributable to HECO, $45.8 million to HELCO and
$25.9 million to MECO. Approximately 84% of the total 1994 capital expenditures
was for transmission and distribution and other projects, including HECO's
Waiau-CIP 138-kilovolt line, and 16% was for generation projects, including
HELCO's Keahole combustion turbines and MECO's Molokai generation expansion.
Cash contributions in aid of construction received in 1994 totaled $15.1
million.
The Company's investment in plant and equipment for 1994 was financed with
cash from operating activities and cash from financing activities. Cash
provided by operating activities totaled $102.3 million in 1994. Cash provided
by financing activities totaled a net $77.8 million and included a net $4.8
million in drawdowns
8
of proceeds from the sale of tax-exempt special purpose revenue bonds, less
long-term debt repayments primarily for first mortgage bonds. The Company used
$28.5 million for common stock dividends. Short-term borrowings provided $76.9
million in cash and HEI provided $30.0 million through its purchase of HECO
common stock.
The Company's consolidated financing requirements for the years 1995 through
1999, including net capital expenditures, debt retirements and sinking fund
requirements, are estimated to total $850 million. The Company's consolidated
internal sources, after the payment of common stock and preferred stock
dividends, are currently expected to provide approximately 60% of the total $850
million requirements, with debt and equity financing providing the remaining
requirements. The Company estimates that it will require approximately $60
million in common equity, other than retained earnings, over the five-year
period 1995 through 1999. The PUC must approve issuances of long-term debt and
equity for HECO, HELCO and MECO.
Capital expenditures include the costs of projects which are required to
meet expected load growth, to improve reliability and to replace and upgrade
existing equipment. Net capital expenditures, for the five-year period 1995
through 1999, are currently estimated to total $750 million. Approximately 70%
of gross capital expenditures, including AFUDC and capital expenditures funded
by third party cash contributions in aid of construction, is for transmission
and distribution projects, with the remaining 30% primarily for generation
projects. At December 31, 1994, purchase commitments other than fuel and power
purchase contracts were approximately $83 million, including amounts for
construction projects. (Also see Note 11 in the "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements" for a discussion of fuel and power purchase commitments.)
Capital expenditures for 1995, net of cash contributions in aid of
construction and excluding AFUDC, are estimated to be $170 million, and gross
capital expenditures are estimated to be $205 million, of which approximately
65% is for transmission and distribution projects. An estimated $40 million is
planned for new generation projects. Drawdowns of proceeds from the sale of
tax-exempt special purpose revenue bonds, sales of common stock to HEI and the
generation of funds from internal sources are expected to provide the cash
needed for the net capital expenditures.
Capital expenditure estimates and the timing of construction projects are
reviewed periodically by management and may change significantly as a result of
many considerations. Among these considerations are changes in economic condi-
tions, changes in forecasts of kilowatthour sales and peak load, the
availability of alternate energy and purchased power, the availability of
generating sites and transmission and distribution line corridors, the ability
to obtain adequate and timely rate relief, escalation in construction costs,
demand-side management programs and requirements of environmental and other
regulatory and permitting authorities.
In 1993, the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii (DBF)
issued a total of $100 million in tax-exempt special purpose revenue bonds, with
a maturity of thirty years and a fixed coupon interest rate of 5.45%, on behalf
of HECO, HELCO and MECO at a 2% discount, resulting in a yield of approximately
5.6%. As of December 31, 1994 approximately $3.4 million of the proceeds from
the sale of special purpose revenue bonds were available to be used. In January
1995, the DBF issued tax-exempt special purpose revenue bonds, in the principal
amount of $47 million with a maturity of 30 years and a fixed coupon interest
rate of 6.6% on behalf of HECO, HELCO and MECO. The bonds were issued at a
discount, resulting in a yield of approximately 6.75%. As of February 1, 1995,
an additional $170 million of revenue bonds had been authorized by the Hawaii
legislature for issuance prior to the end of 1997.
As of February 15, 1995, Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P), Moody's
Investors Service (Moody's) and Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. (D&P) rated
HECO's securities as follows:
9
S&P Moody's D&P
---- ------- -------
First mortgage bonds........ BBB+ A3 A
Revenue bonds............... BBB Baa1 A-
Cumulative preferred stock.. BBB baa1 BBB+
Other unsecured debt........ BBB Baa1 A-
Commercial paper............ A-2 P-2 Duff 1-
====================================================
The above ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any securities,
and such ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the
rating agencies.
In January 1995, S&P revised its ratings outlook on HECO to "stable" from
"negative" citing recent PUC decisions which demonstrate a continuing trend of
regulatory support for the Company's heavy construction program. The Company's
management cannot predict with certainty future rating agency actions or their
effects on the future cost of capital to the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
==========================================
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. and Subsidiaries
1 . SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION. The financial statements have been
------------------------------------------
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In
preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of regulatory assets. Management believes that
regulatory assets have been appropriately established in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
--------------
Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (HECO) and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company"), Maui Electric Company, Limited (MECO) and Hawaii
Electric Light Company, Inc. (HELCO). HECO is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI).
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION REGULATION. The Company is regulated by the Public
-------------------------------------
Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) and accounts for the effects
of regulation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 71,
"Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." As a result, the
actions of regulators can affect the timing of recognition of revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Property, plant and equipment are stated at
------------------------------
cost. The cost of plant constructed by the Company includes applicable
engineering, supervision, administrative and general expenses, and an allowance
for the cost of funds used during the construction period. Upon the ordinary
retirement or sale of plant, no gain or loss is recognized. The cost of the
plant retired or sold and the cost of removal (net of salvage obtained) are
charged to accumulated depreciation.
CONTRIBUTIONS IN AID OF CONSTRUCTION. The Company receives contributions from
-------------------------------------
customers for special construction requirements. As directed by the PUC, the
contributions are amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years, which
approximates the estimated useful lives of the facilities for which the
contribu-tions were received. This amortization is an offset against
depreciation expense.
REVENUES. Revenues are based on rates authorized by the PUC and include
---------
revenues applicable to electric energy consumed in the accounting period but not
yet billed to the customers. The rate schedules of the Company include energy
cost adjustment clauses under which electric rates are adjusted for changes in
the weighted average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased
power, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power.
POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. Pension costs are charged primarily
-------------------------------------------
to expense and plant accounts. The Company's policy is to fund pension costs in
amounts consistent with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act.
The Company provides certain health care, life insurance and other benefits
to retired employees, substantially all of whom become eligible for these
benefits upon retirement, and the employees' beneficiaries and covered
dependents. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions," which requires that the expected cost of postretirement benefits
other than pensions
16
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
=====================================================
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. and Subsidiaries
be accrued during the years in which employees render service (see Note 10).
Previously, the costs of these benefits were recognized when paid. The
resulting change in the method of accounting for postretirement benefits other
than pensions had no material effect on net income for 1993 primarily due to the
regulated nature of the Company's operations.
In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." This statement
requires employers to recognize the obligation to provide postemployment
benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 43, "Accounting for Compensated Absences,"
if the obligation is attributable to employees' services already rendered,
employees' rights to those benefits accumulate or vest, payment of the benefits
is probable, and the amount of the benefits can be reasonably estimated. The
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 112 on January 1, 1994. The
implementation of SFAS No. 112 did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.
DEPRECIATION. Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed primarily using
-------------
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The
composite annual depreciation rate was 3.9% in 1994 and 1993 and 3.8% in 1992.
PREMIUM, DISCOUNT AND EXPENSE. The expenses of issuing long-term debt
------------------------------
securities and the premiums or discounts at which they were sold are amortized
against income over the terms of the respective securities.
ALLOWANCE FOR FUNDS USED DURING CONSTRUCTION. Allowance for funds used during
---------------------------------------------
construction (AFUDC) is an accounting practice whereby the costs of debt and
equity funds used to finance plant construction are transferred from the income
statement to construction in progress on the balance sheet. The procedure
removes the effect of the costs of financing construction activity from the
income statement and treats such costs in the same manner as construction labor
and material costs.
The weighted average gross-of-tax AFUDC rate was 9.4% in 1994, 9.3% in 1993
and 10.2% in 1992 and reflected quarterly compounding.
INCOME TAXES. HECO and its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated income
-------------
tax returns of HECO's parent, HEI. Income tax expense has been computed for
financial statement purposes as if HECO and its subsidiaries filed separate
consolidated HECO income tax returns.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" effective January 1, 1993. Previously, income taxes were recognized in
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11.
The resulting change in the method of accounting for income taxes had no
material effect on net income for 1993 due to the regulated nature of the
Company's operations (see Note 7).
Federal and state tax credits are deferred and amortized over the estimated
useful lives of the properties which qualified for the credits.
CASH FLOWS. The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, money market
-----------
accounts, certificates of deposit, short-term commercial paper and reverse
repurchase agreements with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash and equivalents.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES. In general, environmental contamination treatment
---------------------------
costs are charged to expense, unless such costs are probable of recovery through
rates authorized by the PUC. Also, environmental costs are capitalized if: the
costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or
efficiency of property owned; the costs mitigate or prevent environmental
contamination that has yet to occur and that otherwise may result from future
operations; or the costs are incurred in preparing property for sale.
Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts
are probable, and the cost can be
17

=====================================================
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. and Subsidiaries
reasonably estimated. Corresponding regulatory assets are recorded when it is
probable that such costs would be allowed by the PUC as reasonable and necessary
costs of service to be recovered in future rates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
------------------
consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1994 presentation.

=======================================================================
Shares redeemed under the annual sinking fund provisions are redeemable at
par value of $100.
Under optional redemption provisions, shares are redeemable at the option of
the respective company at redemption prices shown above (except that prior to
specific dates, no shares of certain series of preferred stock may be redeemed
through refunding at a cost of money to the respective company which is less
than the dividend rate of such series). In the event of voluntary liquidation,
preferred shareholders would be entitled, insofar as the assets of the Company
would permit, to the liquidation prices shown above.
The total minimum sinking fund requirements on preferred stock subject to
mandatory redemption are $2,374,000 in 1995, $2,220,000 in 1996, $1,795,000 in
1997 and 1998, $1,695,000 in 1999 and a total of $34,965,000 thereafter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
=====================================================
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. and Subsidiaries
HECO is obligated to make dividend, redemption and liquidation payments on
the preferred stock of MECO and HELCO if MECO and HELCO are unable to make such
payments, provided that such obligation is subordinated to any obligation to
make payments on HECO's own preferred stock.
3 . COMMON STOCK
In 1994, 1993 and 1992 HECO issued 554,857, 897,111 and 681,635 shares of
common stock to its parent, HEI, for $30 million, $45 million and $33 million,
respectively.
4 . LONG-TERM DEBT
The first mortgage bonds are secured by separate indentures which purport to
be liens on substantially all of the real and personal property now owned or
hereafter acquired by the respective companies.
The funds on deposit with trustees represent the undrawn proceeds from the
issuance of the special purpose revenue bonds and earn interest at market rates.
These funds are available only to pay for certain authorized construction
projects and certain expenses related to the bonds.
At December 31, 1994, the aggregate payments of principal required on long-
term debt during the next five years are $20,933,000 in 1995, $29,933,000 in
1996, $12,933,000 in 1997, $29,933,000 in 1998 and nil in 1999.
In January 1995, the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii
issued tax-exempt special purpose revenue bonds, in the principal amount of $47
million with a maturity of 30 years and a fixed coupon interest rate of 6.60%,
and loaned the proceeds from the sale to HECO, HELCO and MECO. The bonds were
issued at a discount, resulting in a yield of approximately 6.75%.
5 . SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Short-term borrowings from nonaffiliates at December 31, 1994 and 1993 had a
weighted average interest rate of 6.3% and 3.6%, respectively, and consisted
entirely of commercial paper.
The Company maintained bank lines of credit which totaled approximately
$125.0 million and $107.5 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The lines of credit support the issuance of commercial paper. There were no
borrowings against any line of credit during 1994 and 1993.
6 . REGULATORY ASSETS
Regulatory assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993 included the following
deferred costs:

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. and Subsidiaries
In the first quarter of 1995, the Company applied to the PUC for recovery of
the preliminary plant costs on suspended project.
7 . INCOME TAXES
In February 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", which requires companies to use the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. The objective of the asset and liability method is
to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences
between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets
and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such deferred
tax assets or liabilities are realized or settled.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109. The resulting
change in the method of accounting for income taxes had no material effect on
net income for 1993 primarily due to the regulated nature of the Company. The
net increase in deferred income taxes payable arising from the adoption of SFAS
No. 109 is recoverable through future rates and has been recorded as a
regulatory asset. In 1993, additional income tax expense of $828,000 was
recognized under SFAS No. 109 as a result of the 1% increase in the maximum
corporate income tax rate enacted by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1993.
The components of income taxes charged to operating expenses were as follows:

Income tax benefits related to nonoperating activities, included in "Other,
Net" on the statements of income, amounted to $232,000, $109,000 and $2,411,000
for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Of the $2,411,000 income tax benefits
related to nonoperating activities in 1992, $2,019,000 was a tax benefit arising
from the utilization of a capital loss carryforward.
The sources of timing differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses
for tax and financial reporting purposes and the related deferred tax amounts
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11 included in operating expenses
in 1992 were as follows:

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF NONCASH ACTIVITIES
----------------------------------------------
The allowance for equity funds used during construction, which was charged
primarily to construction in progress amounted to $9,064,000, $6,973,000 and
$6,781,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Effective in 1993, the Company recognized the estimated fair value of noncash
contributions in aid of construction received in 1993 and prior years, which
increased both plant and contributions in aid of construction by $26,105,000.
The estimated fair value of noncash contributions received in 1994 amounted to
$5,556,000.
9 . MAJOR CUSTOMERS
HECO and its subsidiaries derived 10% of their operating revenues from the
sale of electricity to federal government agencies amounting to $89,479,000 in
1994, $90,614,000 in 1993 and $78,020,000 in 1992.
10 . RETIREMENT BENEFITS
PENSIONS
--------
HECO and its subsidiaries participate in several of HEI's defined benefit
pension plans which cover substantially all employees of HECO and its
subsidiaries. Benefits are based on the employee's years of service and base
compensation.

Of these net periodic pension costs, $10,801,000, $9,663,000 and $9,801,000
were expensed in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, and the remaining amounts
were charged primarily to electric utility plant.
For all pension plans, as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the discount rate
assumed in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit
obligation was 8.0% and 7.0%, respectively. For 1994, 1993 and 1992, the
expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.0% and the assumed rate of
increase in future compensation levels was 5.0%.
The unrecognized net transition obligation is the projected benefit
obligation in excess of plan assets at January 1, 1987, less amounts amortized.
The unrecognized net transition obligation is being amortized ratably over 16
years beginning in 1987.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
-------------------------------------------
The Company provides various postretirement benefits other than pensions to
eligible employees upon retirement. Health and life insurance benefits are
provided to eligible employees upon their retirement. Health benefits are
provided with contributions by retirees toward costs based on their years of
service and retirement date. Employees are eligible for these benefits if, upon
retirement, they participate in one of the Company's defined benefit pension
plans. The Company began funding some of these benefits near year-end 1994.
Through December 31, 1992, the cost of postretirement benefits other than
pensions had not been recognized until paid (i.e., the pay-as-you-go method).
Payments for post-retirement benefits other than pensions amounted to $3,100,000
in 1992.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," which requires
accrual, during the years that an employee renders the necessary service, of the
expected cost of providing postretirement benefits other than pensions to that
employee and the employee's beneficiaries and covered dependents. The
transition obligation is being amortized ratably over 20 years beginning in
1993.
In February 1992, the PUC opened a generic docket to determine whether
SFAS No. 106 should be adopted for rate-making purposes. In November 1994, the
PUC issued a decision and order authorizing recovery of the full cost of
postretirement benefits other than pensions effective January 1, 1995. The
Companies are required to establish trust funds and to deposit into these funds
the recovered SFAS No. 106 costs. The regulatory asset established from January
1, 1993 through December 31, 1994 for postretirement benefits other than
pensions is being amortized ratably over 18 years beginning in 1995 for rate-
making and financial reporting purposes.
The funded status of the postretirement benefit plans and the amounts
recognized in the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

other accounts.
At December 31, 1994, the assumed health care trend rates for 1995 and future
years were as follows: medical, 7.5%; dental, 6.0% and vision, 5.0%.
A 1% increase in the trend rate for health care costs would have increased
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994 by
approxi-mately $19.9 million and the service and interest costs for 1994 by
approximately $2.4 million.
11 . COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
FUEL CONTRACTS AND OTHER PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
---------------------------------------------
HECO and its subsidiaries have contractual agreements to purchase a minimum
amount of 0.5% sulfur residual fuel oil and 0.4% sulfur diesel fuel through
1995. The prices under these contracts are tied to market prices of petroleum
products as reported in Singapore and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Based on the
average price per barrel prevailing on January 1, 1995, the estimated amount of
required purchases for 1995 is $171 million. The actual amount of purchases in
1995 could vary substantially from such estimates as a result of changes in
market prices and other factors. HECO and its subsidiaries purchased $186
million, $205 million and $216 million of fuel under these or prior contractual
agreements in 1994, 1993 and
24
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
=====================================================
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. and Subsidiaries
1992, respectively. New contracts to replace expiring ones are expected to be
entered into in the normal course of business.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had purchase commitments, other than fuel
and power purchase contracts, amounting to approximately $83 million.
POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
-------------------------
As of December 31, 1994, the Company had power purchase agreements for 465
megawatts (MW) of firm capacity representing approximately 22% of their total
generating capabilities and purchased power firm capacities. Rate recovery is
allowed for energy and firm capacity payments under these agreements. Assuming
that each of the agreements remains in place and the minimum availability
criteria in the power purchase agreements are met [including HELCO's agreement
in principle with Hilo Coast Processing Company (HCPC)--see discussion which
follows], aggregate minimum fixed capacity charges are expected to be
approximately $107 million in 1995, $109 million in each of 1996 and 1997, $106
million in 1998, $109 million in 1999 and $2.1 billion thereafter.
In general, payments under the power purchase agreements for 465 MW of firm
capacity are based upon available capacity and energy. Payments for capacity
generally are not required if the contracted capacity is not available, and
payments are reduced, under certain conditions, if available capacity drops
below contracted levels. In general, the payment rates for capacity have been
predetermined for the terms of the agreements. The energy payment will vary
over the terms of the agreements and the Company may pass on changes in the fuel
component of the energy charges to customers through energy cost adjustment
clauses in its rate schedules. The Company does not operate nor participate in
the operation of any of the facilities that provide power under the agreements.
Title to the facilities does not pass to the Company upon expiration of the
agreements, and the agreements do not contain bargain purchase options with
respect to the facilities.
HELCO has a power purchase agreement with HCPC for 18 MW of firm capacity.
Hamakua Sugar Company, which had supplied HELCO with 8 MW of firm capacity,
ceased operations in October 1994. Puna Geothermal Ventures (PGV), an
independent geothermal power producer which had experienced substantial delays
in commencing commercial operations, passed an acceptance test in June 1993 and
is now considered to be a firm capacity source for 25 MW.
In March 1994, HCPC, which then provided 18 MW of firm capacity, issued a
written notice of termination to HELCO indicating that it would cease producing
power in March 1997. HELCO, in turn, issued a written notice of its preliminary
intent to purchase the HCPC facility, subject to a number of conditions. HELCO
has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the facilities for fair
market value. As permitted under the power purchase agreement, HCPC asked that
the issue of the fair market value of the facilities be determined through
binding arbitration. HELCO and HCPC then engaged in negotiations regarding the
potential purchase of the plant or the possible amendment of the existing power
purchase agreement to keep the plant operating at least through March 1997.
On December 12, 1994, HCPC filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition and advised
HELCO that it would cease operating its plant in December 1994. HELCO obtained
a temporary restraining order and, later, an extension of such order, requiring
HCPC to continue operations of the HCPC facility through March 7, 1995, with
HELCO to pay an additional amount for the power HCPC supplies. On January 5,
1995, HELCO and HCPC entered into an agreement in principle, subject to the
negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, amending the existing power
purchase agreement through December 1999. The definitive agreement must be
approved by the bankruptcy court and is subject to cancellation by HELCO if not
approved by the PUC within 180 days of its execution. If unable to purchase
power from HCPC as contemplated by
25

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. and Subsidiaries
the agreement in principle, HELCO would be operating with a slim generation
margin and might have to initiate planned service interruptions (rolling
blackouts) until it is able to arrange for additional generation.
HECO POWER OUTAGE
-----------------
On April 9, 1991, HECO experienced a power outage that affected all customers
on the island of Oahu. The PUC initiated an investigation of the outage, which
was consolidated with a pending investigation of an outage that occurred in
1988.
Power Technologies, Inc. (PTI), an independent consultant hired by HECO with
the approval of the PUC, investigated the outage. HECO is implementing certain
of PTI's recommendations and is either studying or disagrees with certain of the
other recommendations. Management cannot predict the timing and outcome of any
PUC decision and order that may be issued, if any, with respect to the outages
or PTI's recommendations.
HECO's PUC-approved tariff rule states that HECO is not liable for interrup-
tions or insufficiency of supply when the cause was beyond HECO's control.
Nevertheless, HECO received 3,063 claims, which totaled approximately $7.8
million, within the time limit to file claims. 1,530 of these claims are for
property damage and most have been settled, with no admission of liability, or
closed as of December 31, 1994. The other 1,533 claims involve personal injury
or economic loss, such as lost profits, and generally have not been covered by
settlement.
Seven direct or indirect business customers have filed a lawsuit against HECO
on behalf of themselves and an alleged class, claiming $75 million in
compensatory damages and additional unspecified amounts for punitive damages
because of the April 9, 1991 outage. HECO has filed an answer which denies the
principal allegations in the complaint. The class has not been certified.
Trial has been set for January 1996.
HECO recorded a liability of $1 million for the total amount of expected
defense costs and settlements with respect to the outage. In the opinion of
management, losses (if any) in excess of the amount for which provision has been
made, net of estimated insurance recoveries, resulting from the ultimate outcome
of the lawsuit and claims related to the April 1991 outage will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
HELCO RELIABILITY INVESTIGATION
-------------------------------
In July 1991, following service interruptions and rolling blackouts
instituted on the island of Hawaii, the PUC issued an order calling for an
investigation into the reliability of HELCO's system and held hearings.
In light of approximately 20 subsequent incidents of rolling blackouts and
service interruptions resulting from insufficient generation margin, further
evidentiary hearings were held in July 1992. With the input from an independent
consultant and the parties to the proceedings, the PUC may formulate minimum
reliability standards for HELCO, use the standards to assess HELCO's system
reliability, and re-examine the rate increase approved in October 1992 to see
whether any adjustments are appropriate. In the opinion of management, the
PUC's adjustment, if any, resulting from the reliability investigation will not
have a material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial
condition or results of operations.
Subsequent to the hearings in this matter, HELCO's generation margin improved
with the addition of a 20-MW combustion turbine in August 1992 and PGV's
commencement of commercial operations. However, HELCO's generation margin was
adversely affected by the cessation of operations by Hamakua and will be further
adversely affected if an agreement in principle that HELCO has reached with HCPC
is not implemented. See "Power Purchase Agreements" above.
26
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued
=====================================================
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC. and Subsidiaries
HELCO is proceeding with plans to install two 20-MW combustion turbines at
Keahole on the island of Hawaii in 1995 or 1996, followed by an 18-MW heat steam
recovery generator in 1997, at which time these units will be converted to a
combined-cycle unit, subject in each case to obtaining necessary permits and
approvals. The PUC has issued a decision and order approving commitment of
expenditures for the first 20-MW combustion turbine. Evidentiary hearings on
the other portions of the unit were held in July 1994. Further, two independent
power producers, Kawaihae Cogeneration Partners and Ensearch Development Corp.,
have each filed with the PUC separate complaints against HELCO, alleging that,
rather than having HELCO build the combined-cycle unit, they are entitled to a
power purchase contract to provide all or part of the capacity. An evidentiary
hearing in the Kawaihae Cogeneration Partners docket was held in June 1994. The
evidentiary hearing in the Ensearch Development Corp. docket was held in
December 1994.
HELCO has encountered procedural and other difficulties in obtaining the
necessary air permit and Conservation District Use Permit ("CDUP") which would
allow the combined-cycle unit to be constructed at the Keahole site. As a
result of these permitting delays, HELCO's unit installation schedule has been
adversely impacted. To address the contingency that the air permit or CDUP
might be signifi-cantly delayed or ultimately denied, HELCO is exploring other
alternatives to meet projected energy needs, including any viable, timely and
cost-effective unaffiliated nonutility generation alternative. However, until
additional generation is in place, and depending on the availability of existing
generation and the timing and size of load peaks, management believes that there
is a significant risk of capacity shortages on the island of Hawaii that could
result in rolling blackouts.
12 . REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARENT
At December 31, 1994, net assets (assets less liabilities) of approximately
$314 million were not available for transfer to HEI in the form of dividends,
loans or advances without regulatory approval.
13 . RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
HEI charged HECO and its subsidiaries for general management and
administrative services totaling $2,417,000, $2,258,000 and $5,604,000 in 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively. The amounts charged by HEI to its subsidiaries are
allocated primarily on the basis of actual labor hours. As of January 1, 1993,
HEI refined its method of identifying costs chargeable to its subsidiaries,
resulting in lower allocations to subsidiaries.
HEI also charged HECO for data processing services totaling $3,554,000,
$3,563,000 and $3,231,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
HECO's borrowings from HEI totaled nil and $12,000,000 at December 31, 1994
and 1993, respectively. The interest charged on short-term borrowings from HEI
is computed based on HECO's short-term borrowing interest rate. Interest
charged by HEI to HECO totaled $77,000, $1,795,000 and $232,000 in 1994, 1993
and 1992, respectively.
14 . SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
HECO and its subsidiaries are operating electric public utilities engaged in
business on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Lanai and Molokai in the State of
Hawaii. HECO and its subsidiaries grant credit to customers, all of whom reside
or conduct business in the State of Hawaii.

15 . FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:
CASH AND EQUIVALENTS. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of
---------------------
the short maturity of these instruments.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of
----------------------
the short maturity of these instruments.
LONG-TERM DEBT. Fair value is estimated based on the quoted market prices for
---------------
the same or similar issues of debt.
CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK SUBJECT TO MANDATORY REDEMPTION. There are no quoted
-----------------------------------------------------------
market prices for the Company's preferred stocks. Fair value is estimated based
on quoted market prices for similar issues of preferred stock.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as

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 Company's entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the
Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing financial instruments without
attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of
assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addi-
tion, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
and Stockholder
Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated
statements of capitalization of Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (a wholly owned
subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income,
retained earnings and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1994. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hawaiian Electric
Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes.
Additionally, as discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial
statements, effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of
accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions.

AMEND. 1994-2 TO HEI RET. SAVINGS PLAN
HEI Exhibit 99.3(a)
--------------------
AMENDMENT 1994-2
TO THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
In accordance with Section 10.1 of the Hawaiian Electric Industries
Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan"), the Plan is hereby amended in the
following respects:
1. Section 1.3 is amended by inserting the following after the fourth
sentence thereof:
"A Participant may also name a contingent Beneficiary to succeed to the
interests of the named Beneficiary in the event such named Beneficiary
shall not survive the Participant."
2. Section 1.7 is amended by revising the third sentence to read as
follows:
"Commencing January 1, 1994, only the first $150,000 (or such larger amount
as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue may prescribe) of a Participant's
Compensation (determined in accordance with Section 401(a)(17) of the Code)
shall be taken into account for purposes of the Plan. In determining the
Compensation of a Participant for purposes of this limitation, the rules of
Section 414(q)(6) of the Code shall apply, except that in applying such
rules, the term "family" shall include only the spouse of the Participant
and any lineal descendants of the Participant who have not attained age 19
before the close of the Plan Year. If, as a result of the application of
such rules, the dollar limitation is exceeded, then the limitation shall be
prorated among the affected individuals in proportion to each such
individual's Compensation as determined under this Section prior to the
application of the limitation."
3. Section 1.8 is amended by revising the second sentence thereof to read
as follows:
"Eligible Employee means a Participant who is eligible to receive an
-----------------
allocation of Salary Reduction Contributions for all or a portion of the
Plan Year."
4. Section 1.16 is amended to read as follows:
"Participant means any Employee who has satisfied the eligibility
-----------
requirements of Article II and whose Accounts remain in the Plan and
allocated to him. Active Participant means a Participant during the
------------------
period he is employed in an eligible class of Employees and is, therefore,
eligible to receive an allocation of Salary Reduction Contributions."
5. Section 1.17 is amended to read as follows:
"Participant Voluntary Contribution means the voluntary contributions of a
----------------------------------
Participant permitted prior to July 1, 1992."
6. Section 1.22 is amended to read as follows:
"Plan Year means a 12-month period commencing on January 1 and
---------
anniversaries thereof."
7. Section 3.3 is amended to read as follows:
"Any Participant who has received a distribution from a qualified employee
pension benefit plan or annuity plan may make a contribution to a Rollover
Account established on his behalf; provided that proper verification is
provided and the Plan Administrator, in his sole discretion, agrees in
writing to such a contribution. The Plan shall not accept rollovers from
individual retirement accounts, whether or not the funds involved
originally were received as distributions from a qualified employee pension
benefit plan."
8. Section 4.1 (a)(1) and (2) shall be amended by replacing the term
"other Eligible Employees" with the term "non-Highly Compensated Employees".

10. Section 4.1(b)(3) is amended to read as follows:
"For purposes of determining the actual deferral percentage of an Eligible
Employee who is a Highly Compensated Employee by virtue of being either a
five percent (5%) owner or among the top 10 highest paid, the Salary
Reduction Contributions and compensation of Family Members of such Highly
Compensated Employee shall be combined and the Family Members and such
Highly Compensated Employee shall be treated as a single Employee. Such
Family Members shall be disregarded in determining the actual deferral
percentage for Participants who are non-Highly Compensated Employees."
11. Section 4.1(b) is amended to add a new subsection (6), to read as
follows:
"For purposes of this Section 4.1, the term "compensation" shall mean W-2
pay including any reductions related to arrangements qualifying under
Sections 125 or 401(k) of the Code."

12. Section 4.2(a)(1) and (2) shall be amended by replacing the term
"other Eligible Employees" with the term "non-Highly Compensated Employees."
13. Section 4.2(b)(3) is amended to read as follows:
"For purposes of determining the contribution percentage of an Eligible
Employee who is a Highly Compensated Employee by virtue of being either a
five percent (5%) owner or among the top 10 highest paid, the Participant
Voluntary Contributions and compensation of Family Members of such Highly
Compensated Employee shall be combined and the Family Members and such
Highly Compensated Employee shall be treated as a single Employee. Such
Family Members shall be disregarded in determining the actual deferral
percentage for Participants who are non-Highly Compensated Employees."
14. Section 4.2(d)(2) is amended to replace the term "Compensation" with
the term "compensation."
15. Section 4.2(d) is amended to add a new subsection (4), to read as
follows:

16. Section 4.4(c)(ii) is amended by replacing "April 1" with "February
15".
17. Section 4.5(b) is amended to read as follows:
"If necessary to limit the annual addition to a Participant's Accounts for
a limitation year, the Plan Administrator may reduce or suspend Salary
Reduction Contributions, provided that notice of such reduction or
suspension be given to the Participant. Such notice need not precede the
reduction or suspension. If further necessary to limit the annual addition
to a Participant's Accounts for a limitation year, distributions shall be
made in the following order to the Participant on whose behalf such
contributions were made, to the extent necessary to reduce the annual
addition to the prescribed amount: (i) Participant Voluntary Contributions
and interest thereon; (ii) Salary Reduction Contributions and interest
thereon; (iii) Employer Contributions."
18. The third sentence of Section 4.5(d)(1) is amended to read as follows:
"Annual additions for a limitation year shall, however, include Salary
Reduction Contributions for such Plan Year that are subsequently
distributed to or forfeited by a Participant pursuant to this Article IV,
except to the extent of excess Salary Reduction Contributions and earnings
thereon
-3-
refunded to the Participant by April 15 of the following Plan Year."

22. Sections 6.2(b)(5)(ii) and 6.2(d) are amended to add the following at
the end thereof:
"Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, any Participant
eligible to receive a distribution which would qualify as an "eligible
rollover distribution" under Section 401(a)(31)(C) of the Code may elect to
have such distribution paid directly to an "eligible retirement plan" as
defined in Section 401(a)(31)(D) of the Code and, upon the Participant's
specification of the eligible retirement plan to which such distribution is
to be paid, such distribution shall be made in the form of a direct
trustee-to-trustee transfer to the eligible retirement plan so specified."
23. Sections 6.4(d)(2) and (3) are amended to read as follows:

shall be determined by dividing the Participant's vested Accounts by the

elect to have distributed to him in any Plan Year an amount greater than
the minimum required distribution."
