FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and other presentations made by Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) and its subsidiaries contain “forward-looking statements,” which include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and usually include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “predicts,” “estimates” or similar expressions. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, expenses, earnings or losses or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects and possible future actions, which may be provided by management, are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about HEI and its subsidiaries, the performance of the industries in which they do business and economic and market factors, among other things. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.

     Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements and from historical results include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

the effects of international, national and local economic conditions, including the condition of the Hawaii tourist and construction industries and the Hawaii and California housing markets;

 

the effects of weather and natural disasters;

 

the effects of terrorist acts and the war on terrorism;

 

the timing and extent of changes in interest rates;

 

the risks inherent in changes in the value of and market for securities available for sale;

 

product demand and market acceptance risks;

 

increasing competition in the electric utility and banking industries;

 

capacity and supply constraints or difficulties;

 

fuel oil price changes, performance by suppliers of their fuel oil delivery obligations and the continued availability to the electric utilities of their energy cost adjustment clauses;

 

the ability of independent power producers to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in their power purchase agreements;

 

the ability of the electric utilities to negotiate favorable collective bargaining agreements;

 

new technological developments that could render the operations of HEI’s subsidiaries less competitive or obsolete;

 

federal, state and international governmental and regulatory actions, including changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to HEI and its subsidiaries; decisions by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in rate cases and other proceedings and by other agencies and courts on land use, environmental and other permitting issues; required corrective actions (such as with respect to environmental conditions, capital adequacy and business practices); and changes in taxation;

 

the risks associated with the geographic concentration of HEI’s businesses;

 

the effects of changes in accounting principles applicable to HEI and its subsidiaries;

 

the effects of changes by securities rating agencies in the ratings of the securities of HEI and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (HECO);

 

the results of financing efforts;

 

the ultimate net proceeds from the disposition of assets and settlement of liabilities of discontinued or sold operations;

 

the ultimate outcome of tax positions taken by HEI and its subsidiaries, including with respect to its real estate investment trust subsidiary and its discontinued operations;

 

the risks of suffering losses that are uninsured; and

 

other risks or uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and in other periodic reports previously and subsequently filed by HEI and/or HECO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

     Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, presentation or filing in which they are made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference in HEI’s Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEI’s Quarterly Reports on SEC Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002.

In the opinion of HEI’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q or other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

When required, certain reclassifications are made to prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation.

Disposition of certain debt securities

In June 2000, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) advised American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB) that four series of trust certificates, in the original aggregate principal amount of $114 million, were impermissible investments under regulations applicable to federal savings banks and subsequently directed that ASB dispose of the securities. The original trust certificates were purchased through two brokers and represented (i) the right to receive the principal amount of the trust certificates at maturity from an Aaa-rated swap counterparty (principal swap) and (ii) the right to receive the cash flow received on subordinated notes (income class notes). As a result, ASB recognized interest income on these securities on a cash basis and reclassified these trust certificates from held-to-maturity status to available-for-sale status in its financial statements, recognizing a $3.8 million net loss ($5.8 million pretax) on the writedown of these securities to their then-current estimated fair value. In the first six months of 2001, ASB recognized an additional $4.0 million net loss ($6.2 million pretax) on the writedown of three series of these trust certificates to their then-current estimated fair value. In April 2001, ASB sold one issue of trust certificates for $30 million, an amount approximating the original purchase price.

After ASB demanded that PaineWebber Incorporated (the broker through whom the remaining three issues of trust certificates were purchased) buy the three issues back or rescind the transaction, ASB filed a lawsuit against PaineWebber Incorporated in which ASB is seeking rescission or other remedies, including recovery of any losses ASB (directly and through its indemnification of HEI) may incur as a result of its purchase and ownership of these trust certificates.

To bring ASB into compliance with the OTS direction, ASB directed the trustees to terminate the principal swaps on the three issues and received $43 million from the swaps. Prior to terminating the swaps, ASB had received $2 million of cash from the three issues of trust certificates. After terminating the swaps, the related income class notes were sold by the swap counterparty to HEI. In May 2001, HEI purchased two series of the income class notes for approximately $21 million and, in July 2001, HEI purchased the third series of income class notes for approximately $7 million. As of September 30, 2002, HEI had received $8.3 million of cash from the income class notes.

Due to the uncertainty of future cash flows, HEI is accounting for the income class notes under the cost recovery method of accounting. In the second half of 2001 and the first nine months of 2002, HEI recognized a $5.6 million ($8.7 million pretax) and a $2.4 million ($3.7 million pretax), respectively, net loss on the writedown of the three income class notes to their then-current estimated fair value based upon an independent third party valuation that is updated quarterly. As of September 30, 2002, the fair value and carrying value (including valuation adjustments) of the three income class notes were $9.2 million. HEI could incur additional losses from the ultimate disposition of these income class notes from further “other-than-temporary” declines in their fair value. ASB has agreed to indemnify HEI against losses related to these income class notes, but the indemnity obligation is payable solely out of any recoveries achieved in the litigation against PaineWebber Incorporated. In 2002, PaineWebber Incorporated filed a counterclaim alleging misrepresentation and fraud among other allegations. Several motions for summary judgment and partial summary judgment have been filed by the parties and are scheduled for hearing in January 2003. The trial is scheduled in February 2003. The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.

ASB Realty Corporation

In March 1998, ASB formed a subsidiary, ASB Realty Corporation, which elects to be taxed as a real estate investment trust. This reorganization has reduced Hawaii bank franchise taxes, net of federal income taxes, of HEI Diversified, Inc. (HEIDI) and ASB by $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $12 million for prior years. ASB has taken a dividends received deduction on dividends paid to it by ASB Realty Corporation in the returns filed in 1999 through 2002. The State of Hawaii Department of Taxation has challenged ASB’s position and has issued notices of tax assessment for 1999, 2000 and 2001. The aggregate amount of tax assessments is approximately $14 million (or $9 million, net of income tax benefits) for tax years 1999 through 2001, plus interest of $3 million (or $2 million, net of income tax benefits) through September 30, 2002. The interest on the tax is accruing at a simple interest rate of 8%. ASB believes that its tax position is proper and, in October 2002, filed an appeal with the State Board of Review, First Taxation District.

(5)  Discontinued operations

HEI Power Corp. (HEIPC)
On October 23, 2001, the HEI Board of Directors adopted a formal plan to exit the international power business (engaged in by HEIPC and its subsidiaries, the HEIPC Group). HEIPC management has been carrying out a program to dispose of all of the HEIPC Group’s remaining projects and investments. Accordingly, the HEIPC Group has been reported as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Guam project
In September 1996, HEI Power Corp. Guam (HPG) entered into an energy conversion agreement for approximately 20 years with the Guam Power Authority, pursuant to which HPG repaired and operated two oil-fired 25 megawatt (MW) (net) units in Tanguisson, Guam. In November 2001, HEI sold HPG for a nominal gain.

China project
In 1998 and 1999, the HEIPC Group acquired what became a 75% interest in a joint venture, Baotou Tianjiao Power Co., Ltd., formed to construct, own and operate a 200 MW (net) coal-fired power plant to be located in Inner Mongolia. The power plant was intended to be built “inside the fence” for Baotou Iron & Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. The project received approval from both the national and Inner Mongolia governments. However, the Inner Mongolia Power Company, which owns and operates the electricity grid in Inner Mongolia, caused a delay of the project by failing to enter into a satisfactory interconnection arrangement with the joint venture. The Inner Mongolia Power Company was seeking to limit the joint venture’s load, which is inconsistent with the terms of the project approvals and the power purchase contract. Upon appeal to the Inner Mongolia government, the Inner Mongolia Economic and Trade Committee (the regulator of the electric utility industry) refused to enforce the HEIPC Group’s rights associated with the approved project. The HEIPC Group determined that a satisfactory interconnection arrangement could not be obtained and is not proceeding with the project. (An indirect subsidiary of HEIPC has a conditional, nonrecourse commitment to make an additional investment in Baotou Tianjiao Power Co., Ltd., but it is HEIPC’s position that the conditions to this commitment have not been satisfied and no further investment will be made.) In the third quarter of 2001, the HEIPC Group wrote off its remaining investment of approximately $24 million in the project. The HEIPC Group is continuing to pursue recovery of the costs incurred in connection with the joint venture interest; however, there can be no assurance that any amounts will be recovered.

Philippines investments
In March 2000, the HEIPC Group acquired a 50% interest in EPHE Philippines Energy Company, Inc. (EPHE), an indirect subsidiary of El Paso Corporation, for $87.5 million. EPHE then owned approximately 91.7% of the common shares of East Asia Power Resources Corporation (EAPRC), a Philippines holding company primarily engaged in the electric generation business in Manila and Cebu through its subsidiaries.

Due to the equity losses of $24.1 million incurred in 2000 from the investment in EPHE and the changes in the political and economic conditions related to the investment (primarily devaluation of the Philippine peso and increase in fuel oil prices), management determined that the investment in EAPRC was impaired and, on December 31, 2000, wrote off the remaining $65.7 million investment in EAPRC. Also, on December 31, 2000, HEI accrued a potential payment obligation under an HEI guaranty of $10 million of EAPRC loans. In the first quarter of 2001, HEI was partially released ($1.5 million) from the guaranty obligation; and, in August 2002, HEI paid approximately $8.5 million in full satisfaction of such obligation.

In December 1998, the HEIPC Group invested $7.6 million to acquire convertible preferred shares in Cagayan Electric Power & Light Co., Inc. (CEPALCO), an electric distribution company in the Philippines. In September 1999, the HEIPC Group also acquired 5% of the outstanding CEPALCO common stock for $2.1 million. In July 2001, the preferred shares were converted to common stock. The HEIPC Group currently owns approximately 22% of the outstanding common stock of CEPALCO. This investment is classified as available for sale. The HEIPC Group recognized an impairment loss of approximately $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2001 to adjust this investment to its estimated net realizable value.

For the three months ended September 30, 2001, the HEIPC Group had revenues from operations of $1.2 million, operating loss of $0.6 million, interest expense of $0.3 million and income tax benefits of $0.2 million. For the nine

10



Table of Contents

months ended September 30, 2001, the HEIPC Group had revenues from operations of $4.2 million, operating loss of $0.2 million, interest expense of $1.1 million and income tax benefits of $29,000. As of September 30, 2002, the remaining net assets of the discontinued international power operations, after the writeoffs and writedowns described above, amounted to $13.1 million (included in “Other” assets) and consisted primarily of the investment in CEPALCO and deferred taxes receivable, reduced by a reserve for losses from operations during the phase-out period.

The amounts that HEIPC will ultimately realize from the disposition or sale of the international power assets could differ materially from the recorded amounts. This could occur, for example, if the HEIPC Group is successful in recovery of the costs incurred in connection with the China joint venture interest, if the investment in CEPALCO is disposed of for less or more than $7.0 million or if the Internal Revenue Service does not accept HEI’s treatment of the write-off of its indirect investment in EAPRC as an ordinary loss for federal corporate income tax purposes. In addition, further losses from the discontinued international power operations may be sustained during the phase-out period if the expenditures made in seeking recovery of the costs incurred in connection with the China joint venture interest exceed the total of any recovery ultimately achieved and the amount provided for in HEI’s reserve for discontinued operations.

(6)  Cash flows

Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company paid interest amounting to $145.6 million and $203.6 million, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company paid income taxes amounting to $50.6 million and $19.5 million, respectively. The lower taxes paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were due primarily to the timing of the Public Service Company tax deduction taken in 2001 by HECO and its subsidiaries for estimated tax purposes, which deferred tax payments to the end of the year.

Supplemental disclosures of noncash activities

Under the HEI Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP), common stock dividends reinvested by shareholders in HEI common stock in noncash transactions amounted to $12.3 million and $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

ASB securitized $392.8 million of residential loans into mortgage-related securities in the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

(7)  Recent accounting pronouncements

Asset retirement obligations

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are to be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the life of the asset. The discounted liability is to be accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company is to recognize a gain or loss on settlement. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. Management has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adoption.

Rescission of SFAS No. 4, 44 and 64, amendment of SFAS No. 13, and technical corrections

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements,” and SFAS No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers.” SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-

11



Table of Contents

leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to SFAS No. 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of SFAS No. 145 are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. Early application of the provisions of SFAS No. 145 is encouraged and may be as of the beginning of the fiscal year or as of the beginning of the interim period in which SFAS No. 145 was issued. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 in the second quarter of 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Costs associated with exit or disposal activities

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. Previous accounting guidance was provided by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” SFAS No. 146 replaces EITF Issue No. 94-3. SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003. Since SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively, the adoption of SFAS No. 146 should have no effect on the Company’s historical financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

(8)  Commitments and contingencies

See note (4), “Bank subsidiary,” and note (5), “Discontinued operations,” above and note (4), “Commitments and contingencies,” below in HECO’s notes to consolidated financial statements.

(9)  Goodwill and other intangibles

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” on January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and also be reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

Goodwill

The Company’s $83.2 million of goodwill, which is the Company’s only intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, is in the bank segment and was tested for impairment as of January 1, 2002 and will be tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter using data as of September 30, 2002. As of January 1, 2002, there was no impairment of goodwill. The fair value of ASB was estimated using a valuation method based on a market approach which takes into consideration market values of comparable publicly traded companies and recent transactions of companies in the industry.

Application of the provisions of SFAS No. 142 has affected the comparability of current period results of operations with prior periods because the goodwill in the bank segment is no longer being amortized over a 25-year period. Thus, the following “transitional” disclosures present net income and earnings per common share adjusted to eliminate goodwill amortization in 2001 as shown below:

The estimated aggregate amortization expense for ASB’s core deposits and mortgage servicing rights for 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 is $3.4 million, $3.3 million, $3.0 million, $2.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

ASB capitalizes mortgage servicing rights acquired through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans for sale or securitization with servicing rights retained. Changes in mortgage interest rates impact the value of ASB’s mortgage servicing rights. Rising interest rates typically result in slower prepayment speeds in the loans being serviced for others which increases the value of mortgage servicing rights, whereas declining interest rates typically result in faster prepayment speeds which decreases the value of mortgage servicing rights and increases the amortization of the mortgage servicing rights. Currently, ASB does not hedge its mortgage servicing rights against this risk. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002, mortgage servicing rights acquired were not significant.

Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. and subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference in HECO’s Annual Report on SEC Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HECO’s Quarterly Reports on SEC Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002.

In the opinion of HECO’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to present fairly the financial position of HECO and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the results of their operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and their cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q or other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

When required, certain reclassifications are made to prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation.

(2)  Revenue taxes

HECO and its subsidiaries’ operating revenues include amounts for various revenue taxes they collect from customers and pay to taxing authorities. Revenue taxes to be paid to the taxing authorities are recorded as an expense and a corresponding liability in the year the related revenues are recognized. Payments to the taxing authorities are made in the subsequent year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, HECO and its subsidiaries included $82 million of revenue taxes in “operating revenues” and $84 million (including a $2 million nonrecurring PUC fee adjustment) of revenue taxes in “taxes, other than income taxes” expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, HECO and its subsidiaries included $86 million of revenue taxes in “operating revenues” and in “taxes, other than income taxes” expense.

(3)  Cash flows

Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, HECO and its subsidiaries paid interest amounting to $25.4 million and $27.5 million, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, HECO and its subsidiaries paid income taxes amounting to $42.8 million and $15.7 million, respectively. The lower taxes paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were due primarily to the timing of the Public Service Company tax deduction taken in 2001 by HECO and its subsidiaries for estimated tax purposes, which deferred tax payments to the end of the year.

Supplemental disclosure of noncash activities

The allowance for equity funds used during construction, which was charged to construction in progress as part of the cost of electric utility plant, amounted to $3.0 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

In August 2002, HECO assigned an account receivable totaling $9.6 million to a creditor, without recourse, in full settlement of HECO’s $9.6 million note payable to that creditor.

(4)  Commitments and contingencies

HELCO power situation

In 1991, Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (HELCO) began planning to meet increased electric generation demand forecast for 1994. HELCO’s plans were to install at its Keahole power plant two 20 MW combustion turbines (CT-4 and CT-5), followed by an 18 MW heat steam recovery generator (ST-7), at which time these units would be converted to a 56 MW (net) dual-train combined-cycle unit. In 1994, the PUC approved the commitment of expenditures for CT-4. In 1995, the PUC allowed HELCO to pursue construction of and commit expenditures for CT-5 and ST-7, but noted that such costs are not to be included in rate base until the project is installed and “is used and useful for utility purposes.” The PUC also ordered HELCO to continue negotiating with independent power producers (IPPs), stating that the facility to be built should be the one that can be most expeditiously put into service at “allowable cost.”

The timing of the installation of HELCO’s phased units has been revised on several occasions due to delays in obtaining an amendment of a land use permit from the Hawaii Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) and an air permit from the Department of Health of the State of Hawaii (DOH) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in each case as needed for the proposed expansion of the Keahole power plant site. The delays have also been attributable to lawsuits, claims and petitions filed by IPPs and other parties challenging these permits and objecting to the expansion, alleging among other things that (1) operation of the expanded Keahole site would not comply with land use regulations (including noise standards) and HELCO’s land patent; (2) HELCO cannot operate the plant within current air quality standards; (3) HELCO could alternatively purchase power from IPPs to meet increased electric generation demand; and (4) HELCO’s land use entitlement expired in April 1999.

As a result of a September 19, 2002 decision by the Third Circuit Court of the State of Hawaii (Circuit Court), relating to an extension of a construction deadline and described below under “Land use permit amendment,” the construction of CT-4 and CT-5, which had commenced in April 2002 after HELCO had obtained a final air permit and the Circuit Court had lifted a stay on construction, has been suspended. HELCO has appealed this ruling to the Hawaii Supreme Court and is considering other options that may allow HELCO to complete the installation of CT-4 and CT-5 (including appealing the original ruling on the three-year construction deadline and seeking a land use reclassification of the Keahole site from the State Land Use Commission). If none of these options is ultimately successful, HELCO may be unable to complete the installation of CT-4 and CT-5. For the potential financial statement implications of this situation, see “Management’s evaluation; costs incurred.”

Land use permit amendment. The Circuit Court ruled in 1997 that because the BLNR had failed to render a valid decision on HELCO’s application to amend its land use permit before the statutory deadline in April 1996, HELCO was entitled to use its Keahole site for the expansion project (HELCO’s “default entitlement”). Final judgments of the Circuit Court related to this ruling are on appeal to the Hawaii Supreme Court which, in 1998, denied motions to stay the Circuit Court’s final judgment pending resolution of the appeals.

The Circuit Court’s final judgment provided that HELCO must comply with the conditions in its application and with the standard land use conditions insofar as those conditions were not inconsistent with HELCO’s default entitlement. There have been numerous proceedings before the Circuit Court and the BLNR in which certain parties (a) have sought determinations of what conditions apply to HELCO’s default entitlement, (b) have claimed that HELCO has not complied with applicable land use conditions and that its default entitlement should thus be forfeited, (c) have claimed that HELCO will not be able to operate the proposed plant without violating applicable land use conditions and provisions of Hawaii’s Air Pollution Control Act and Noise Pollution Act and (d) have sought orders enjoining any further construction at the Keahole site. Although there has not been a final resolution of these claims, there have been several significant rulings related to these claims.

First, based on a change by the DOH in its interpretation of the noise rules it promulgated under the Hawaii Noise Pollution Act, the Circuit Court ruled in March 1999 that a stricter noise standard than the previously applied

Table of Contents

standard applies to HELCO’s plant, but left enforcement of the ruling to the DOH. The DOH has been periodically monitoring noise levels at the site. If the DOH were to issue a notice of violation based on the stricter standards, HELCO may, among other things, assert that the noise regulations, as applied to it at Keahole, are unconstitutional. Meanwhile, while not waiving possible claims or defenses that it might have against the DOH, HELCO has implemented noise mitigation measures for the existing units at Keahole and, should construction be allowed to continue, is planning to implement additional noise mitigation measures for both the existing units and for CT-4 and CT-5. The estimated cost for these additional noise mitigation measures (for the existing units and CT-4 and CT-5) is $5 million, which amount would be capitalized. While the noise mitigation measures were being implemented, HELCO applied to the DOH and received approval for a noise permit through 2003.

Second, in September 2000, the Circuit Court orally ruled, and on November 9, 2000, it issued a written Order that, absent any legal or equitable extension authorized by the BLNR pursuant to legal authority, the three-year construction period in the standard land use conditions of the Department of Land and Natural Resources of the State of Hawaii (DLNR) expired in April 1999. In December 2000, the Circuit Court imposed a stay on construction. In October 2000, HELCO filed with the BLNR a request for extension of the construction deadline and, in January 2001, the BLNR sent the request to a contested case hearing, which was held in September 2001. In a document dated November 5, 2001, the hearings officer recommended that the BLNR approve HELCO’s request for extension of the construction deadline. The recommendation did not state a time period for the extension, but concluded that an extension is warranted “under such conditions as the Board may deem advisable.”

The BLNR, by Order dated March 25, 2002, granted HELCO an extension of the construction deadline through December 31, 2003. The extension was subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, HELCO (1) complying with all applicable laws and with all conditions applicable (a) to the default entitlement, including the 15 standard land use conditions (except where deviations are approved by the BLNR), and (b) to each Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP) and amendment previously awarded to HELCO for this site; (2) agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless from claims arising out of any act or omission of HELCO relating to the “permit”; (3) proceeding with construction in accordance with construction plans to be submitted to and signed by the chairperson of the BLNR; (4) obtaining approval of the DOH and the Board of Water Supply for any potable water supply or sanitation facilities; (5) complying with its representations relative to mitigation, as set forth in the accepted environmental impact statement; (6) minimizing or eliminating any interference, nuisance or harm which may be caused by this land use; (7) filing, within 90 days of the Order, an application for boundary amendment with the State Land Use Commission (LUC) to remove the site from the conservation district; and (8) complying with other terms and conditions as prescribed by the chairperson of the BLNR. The Order states that failure to comply with any of these conditions shall render the “permit” void. The Order also states that “no further extensions will be provided.” In April 2002, the Circuit Court lifted the stay on construction in light of the BLNR’s Order, and construction activities on CT-4 and CT-5 then commenced.

Third, in other pending litigation, at a hearing on May 8, 2002, the Circuit Court denied the following motions:  a motion for a stay while one of the appeals is pending; a motion for injunction to enjoin construction (based on the allegation that HELCO’s default entitlement is no longer valid); and a motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin construction until the Hawaii Supreme Court decides HELCO’s appeal of the DOH noise regulations and until HELCO demonstrates that the expanded plant can satisfy the noise standards established in 1999 by the Circuit Court. The nonprevailing parties made several filings in response to the denial of these motions. On May 14, 2002, they filed a petition for writ of mandamus with the Hawaii Supreme Court, attempting to get that court to compel the Circuit Court to enforce the conditions in its 1998 final judgment regarding HELCO’s default entitlement. The Hawaii Supreme Court denied that petition on July 1, 2002. On May 15, 2002, the nonprevailing parties filed a motion for reconsideration of the Circuit Court’s decision denying the motion for preliminary injunction. On August 8, 2002, the Circuit Court issued an Order denying the motion for reconsideration. On June 10, 2002, the nonprevailing parties filed a notice of appeal to the Hawaii Supreme Court of the Circuit Court’s decision denying the motion for injunction. On September 4, 2002, the Hawaii Supreme Court denied HELCO’s motion to dismiss the appeal on procedural grounds. On November 6, 2002, HELCO filed a Notice of Extension of Time to File Answering Brief. Its Answering Brief is now due in early December 2002.

Keahole Defense Coalition, Inc. (KDC) and two individuals appealed the BLNR’s March 25, 2002 Order in the Circuit Court, as did the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. Oral arguments in the appeals were heard on September 16, 2002. On September 19, 2002, the Circuit Court issued a letter to the parties indicating the Circuit Court’s decision to reverse the BLNR’s Order. The letter states that:

 

1.

The BLNR exceeded its statutory authority in granting the extension of the permit. The findings do not support any authority by statute or rule.

 

 

 

 

2.

The conclusions of law are erroneous.

 

 

 

 

3.

The BLNR’s action in denying Appellants’ motion to subpoena a material witness regarding a letter issued by the DLNR on January 30, 1998 to HELCO (addressing the applicability of the standard land use conditions and stating that the three-year deadline did not apply) violated Appellants’ constitutional rights to a fair hearing.

 

 

 

 

4.

The BLNR’s granting the extension is clearly erroneous in view of the BLNR’s Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law.

On September 26, 2002, HELCO filed with the Circuit Court a motion for reconsideration of its decision. The BLNR joined HELCO in its motion for reconsideration. At a hearing on October 3, 2002, the Circuit Court denied HELCO’s motion for reconsideration, and the judge signed an Order confirming the Circuit Court’s reversal of the BLNR’s extension of the construction period. The Circuit Court directed the attorney for KDC and the individual appellants to prepare the necessary documents to reduce the Order to final judgment.

On November 1, 2002, HELCO filed with the Circuit Court a notice of appeal of the October 3, 2002 Order (which appeal will be heard by the Hawaii Supreme Court or Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals) and a motion for stay from the Circuit Court of its Order pending determination of the appeal. A hearing on the motion for stay was held on November 7, 2002, at which time the Circuit Court orally denied HELCO’s motion.

In addition, on October 15, 2002, HELCO filed a motion asking the Circuit Court to reduce to a supplemental final judgment its earlier November 9, 2000 Order that the three-year construction deadline applied and that it expired in April 1999, as HELCO also intends to appeal that judgment to the Hawaii Supreme Court. A hearing was held on November 4, 2002, and on November 6, 2002, the Circuit Court issued an order denying HELCO’s motion. As a protective measure, on November 1, 2002, HELCO filed with the Circuit Court a notice of appeal related to the appeal of the ruling on the three-year deadline, and intends to pursue that appeal notwithstanding the Circuit Court’s Order denying HELCO's motion that the November 9, 2000 Order be reduced to a final judgment. In the meantime, construction activities on CT-4 and CT-5 have been suspended and steps have been taken to secure the site and protect equipment and personnel.

Land Use Commission petition.  One of the conditions of the construction period extension granted by the BLNR (which the Circuit Court’s October 3, 2002 Order now has reversed) was that HELCO file an application for a boundary amendment with the LUC to remove the site from the conservation district. HELCO filed the application on June 21, 2002. A hearing before the LUC was held on September 12, 2002, at which public testimony was taken and memoranda were received regarding the jurisdiction of the LUC in dealing with the HELCO petition. In light of current circumstances, on October 3, 2002, HELCO withdrew its petition. Under LUC rules, after such a voluntary withdrawal the applicant may submit another petition for the same property one year from the date of withdrawal. HELCO intends to submit a new petition for reclassification in 2003.

IPP Complaints. Three IPPs––Kawaihae Cogeneration Partners (KCP), Enserch Development Corporation (Enserch) and Hilo Coast Power Company (HCPC)––filed separate complaints with the PUC in 1993, 1994 and 1999, respectively, alleging that they are each entitled to a power purchase agreement (PPA) to provide HELCO with additional capacity. KCP and Enserch each claimed they would be a substitute for HELCO’s planned expansion of Keahole.

The Enserch and HCPC complaints have been resolved by HELCO’s entry into two PPAs which were necessary to ensure reliable service to customers on the island of Hawaii, but, in the opinion of management, do not supplant the need for CT-4 and CT-5. HELCO can terminate the PPA with HCPC prior to its 2004 expiration date for a fee.

Table of Contents

In October 1999, the Circuit Court ruled that the lease for KCP’s proposed plant site was invalid. Based on this ruling and for other reasons, management believes that KCP’s pending proposal for a PPA is not viable and, therefore, will not impact the need for CT-4 and CT-5.

Management’s evaluation; costs incurred. In addition to appealing the Circuit Court’s October 3, 2002 Order to the Hawaii Supreme Court, requesting a stay of the Order from the Hawaii Supreme Court and requesting expedited scheduling of the appeal and the motion for stay, management is also evaluating other possible actions in response to the Order, including actions that might be taken to avoid power supply problems pending installation of CT-4 and CT-5. Even if the Circuit Court’s Order is ultimately overturned on appeal, however, construction is likely to be further significantly delayed, and the costs to complete construction may be significantly increased, due to the time that is likely to be required to resolve the legal proceedings. In the meantime, one concern of HELCO’s management is the condition and performance of certain aging generators on the HELCO system, which were intended to be retired or to be operated less frequently once CT-4 and CT-5 were installed, as well as the current operating status of various IPPs, which provide approximately 43% of HELCO’s generating capacity. Another concern is the possibility of power interruptions, including rolling blackouts, as IPPs and/or HELCO’s generating units become unavailable or less available (i.e., available at lower capacity) due to forced outages or planned maintenance. HELCO’s Puna Steam Plant and Combustion Turbine 1 are on extended forced outage and extended overhaul, respectively. One IPP is currently providing 5 MW of a 30 MW contract and another IPP's reliability is decreased due to new plant operating issues. As a result, generation reserve margins are at a critical stage during peak hours of operation.  On November 8, 2002, rolling blackouts were instituted during the peak hours for a few hours on the island of Hawaii. HELCO will endeavor to avert power interruptions, including rolling blackouts, in the future through a number of actions such as managing the generating units on its system and requesting customers to reduce demand during critical periods such as the peak evening hours, but under current system conditions, there can be no assurance that power interruptions will not occur.

The recovery of costs relating to CT-4 and CT-5 are subject to the rate-making process governed by the PUC. Management believes no adjustment to costs incurred to put CT-4 and CT-5 into service is required as of September 30, 2002. However, whether or not CT-4 and CT-5 will be installed, if it becomes probable that the PUC will disallow some or all of the incurred costs for rate-making purposes, HELCO may be required to write off a material portion of the costs incurred in its efforts to put these units into service. As of September 30, 2002, HELCO’s costs incurred in its efforts to put CT-4 and CT-5 into service and to support existing units (less costs the PUC permitted to be transferred to plant-in-service for pre-air permit facilities) amounted to approximately $78 million, including $31 million for equipment and material purchases, $27 million for planning, engineering, permitting, site development and other costs and $20 million for an allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) charged to the project prior to HELCO’s decision to discontinue the further accrual of AFUDC on CT-4 and CT-5. HELCO discontinued the accrual of AFUDC effective December 1, 1998, due in part to the delays and the potential for further delays. In addition to the $78 million in construction in progress, construction and/or purchase commitments related to CT-4 and CT-5 outstanding as of September 30, 2002 are estimated at approximately $4 million. In view of the limitation on the construction period and the requirements of the boundary amendment process which existed even prior to the October 3, 2002 Order, HELCO had decided to defer the installation of ST-7 to a date outside of the near-term planning horizon. No costs for ST-7 are included in construction in progress.

Oahu transmission system

Oahu’s power sources are located primarily in West Oahu. The bulk of HECO’s system load is in the Honolulu/East Oahu area. HECO transmits bulk power to the Honolulu/East Oahu area over two major transmission corridors (Northern and Southern). HECO planned to construct a part underground/part overhead 138 kv transmission line from the Kamoku substation to the Pukele substation in order to close the gap between the Southern and Northern corridors and provide a third 138 kv transmission line to the Pukele substation.

The proposed Kamoku to Pukele transmission line project required the BLNR to approve a CDUP for the overhead portion of the line that is in conservation district lands. Several community and environmental groups have opposed the project, particularly the overhead portion of the line.

Table of Contents

In November 2000, the DLNR accepted a Revised Final Environmental Impact Statement (RFEIS) prepared in support of HECO’s application for a CDUP. In January 2001, three organizations and an individual filed a complaint against the DLNR and HECO challenging the DLNR’s acceptance of the RFEIS and seeking, among other things, a judicial declaration that the RFEIS is inadequate and null and void. HECO continues to contest the lawsuit.

The BLNR held a public hearing on the CDUP in March 2001, at which several groups requested a contested case hearing which was held in November 2001. The hearings officer submitted his report, findings of fact and conclusions of law and recommended that HECO’s request for the CDUP be denied. He concluded that HECO had failed to establish that there is a need that outweighs the transmission line’s adverse impacts on conservation district lands and that there are practical alternatives that could be pursued, including an all-underground route outside the conservation district lands. On June 28, 2002, the BLNR issued a ruling denying HECO’s request for the CDUP.

HECO continues to believe that the proposed line is needed. HECO is evaluating other alternatives (e.g., other alignments for the transmission line) and further actions, including seeking a declaratory ruling from the PUC on the issue of the need for the line. Until this evaluation of alternatives is completed, an estimated project completion date cannot be determined.

As of September 30, 2002, the accumulated costs related to the Kamoku to Pukele transmission line amounted to $16.4 million, including $11.7 million for planning, engineering and permitting costs and $4.7 million for AFUDC. These costs are recorded in construction in progress. The recovery of costs relating to the Kamoku to Pukele transmission line project is subject to the rate-making process governed by the PUC. Management believes no adjustment to costs incurred to put the Kamoku to Pukele transmission line into service is required as of September 30, 2002. However, whether or not the Kamoku to Pukele transmission line will be installed, if it becomes probable that  the PUC will disallow some or all of the incurred costs for rate-making purposes, HECO may be required to write off a material portion or all of the costs incurred in its efforts to put the Kamoku to Pukele transmission line into service.

Environmental regulation

In early 1995, the DOH initially advised HECO, Hawaiian Tug & Barge Corp. (HTB), Young Brothers, Limited (YB) and others that it 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 issued letters in December 1995 indicating that it had identified a number of parties, including HECO, HTB and YB, who appear to be potentially responsible for the contamination and/or operated their facilities upon contaminated land. The DOH met with these identified parties in January 1996 and certain of the identified parties (including HECO, Chevron Products Company, the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation Harbors Division and others) formed a Honolulu Harbor Work Group (Work Group). Effective January 30, 1998, the Work Group and the DOH entered into a voluntary agreement and scope of work to determine the nature and extent of any contamination, the responsible parties and appropriate remedial actions.

In 1999, the Work Group submitted reports to the DOH presenting environmental conditions and recommendations for additional data gathering to allow for an assessment of the need for risk-based corrective action. The Work Group also engaged a consultant who identified 27 additional potentially responsible parties (PRPs) who were not members of the Work Group, including YB. Under the terms of the agreement for the sale of YB, HEI and The Old Oahu Tug Service, Inc. (TOOTS, formerly HTB) have specified indemnity obligations, including obligations with respect to the Honolulu Harbor investigation.

In response to the DOH’s request for technical assistance, the EPA became involved with the harbor investigation in June 2000. In November 2000, the DOH issued notices to over 20 other PRPs, including YB, regarding the ongoing investigation in the Honolulu Harbor area. A new voluntary agreement and a joint defense agreement were signed by the parties in the Work Group and some of the new PRPs, including Phillips Petroleum, but not YB. The group is now called the Iwilei District Participating Parties (Participating Parties). The Participating Parties agreed to fund remediation work using an interim cost allocation method. In September 2001, TOOTS joined the Participating Parties.

In July 2001, the EPA issued a notice of interest (Initial NOI) under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 to HECO, YB and others regarding the Iwilei Unit of the Honolulu Harbor site. In the Initial NOI, the EPA stated that immediate subsurface investigation and assessment (also known as the Rapid Assessment Work) must be conducted to delineate the extent of contamination at the site. The Participating Parties completed the Rapid Assessment Work, submitted a report to the EPA and DOH in January 2002, and developed a proposal for additional investigation (known as the Phase 2 Rapid Assessment Work), which the EPA and DOH approved. The Participating Parties substantially completed the Phase 2 Rapid Assessment Work in the third quarter of 2002 and anticipate submitting a report to EPA and DOH in the fourth quarter of 2002.

In September 2001, the EPA and DOH concurrently issued notices of interest (collectively, the Second NOI) to the members of the Participating Parties, including HECO and TOOTS. The Second NOI identified several investigative and preliminary oil removal tasks to be taken at certain valve control facilities associated with historic pipelines in the Iwilei Unit of the Honolulu Harbor site. The Participating Parties performed the tasks identified in the Second NOI (the Phase I Pipeline Investigation) and developed a proposal for additional investigation (the Phase 2 Pipeline Investigation), which proposal the EPA and DOH approved. The Participating Parties have completed the Phase 2 Pipeline Investigation and anticipate submitting a report to the DOH and EPA in the fourth quarter of 2002. With the approval of the EPA and DOH, the Participating Parties also constructed a pilot Dual Phase Extraction System to remove petroleum liquids and vapors from the subsurface in a portion of the Iwilei District. Operation of the pilot extraction system began in October 2002. The pilot study supplements ongoing petroleum removal activities by the Participating Parties from wells and trenches installed as part of the investigation. The Participating Parties plan to undertake a Feasibility Study during 2003 to identify and evaluate various remedial strategies to address petroleum products identified in the subsurface of the Iwilei District. The Feasibility Study will also recommend implementation of remedial strategies, where appropriate.

Management has developed a preliminary estimate of costs for continuing investigative work, remedial activities and monitoring at the Iwilei Unit of the site. Management estimates that HECO will incur approximately $1.1 million (of which $0.1 million has been incurred through September 30, 2002) and TOOTS will incur approximately $0.1 million in connection with work to be performed at the site primarily from January 2002 through December 2004. These estimates were expensed in 2001. However, because (1) the full scope and extent of additional investigative work, remedial activities and monitoring are unknown at this time, (2) the final cost allocation method has not yet been determined and (3) management cannot estimate the costs to be incurred (if any) for the sites other than the Iwilei Unit (including its Honolulu power plant site), the HECO and TOOTS cost estimates may be subject to significant change and additional material investigative and remedial costs may be incurred after December 2004.

(5)   HECO-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of trust subsidiaries holding solely HECO and HECO-guaranteed subordinated debentures

In March 1997, HECO Capital Trust I (Trust I), a grantor trust and a wholly owned subsidiary of HECO, sold (i) in a public offering, 2 million of its HECO-Obligated 8.05% Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, Series 1997 (1997 trust preferred securities) with an aggregate liquidation preference of $50 million and (ii) to HECO, common securities with a liquidation preference of approximately $1.55 million. Proceeds from the sale of the 1997 trust preferred securities and the common securities were used by Trust I to purchase 8.05% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures, Series 1997 (1997 junior deferrable debentures) issued by HECO in the principal amount of $31.55 million and issued by each of Maui Electric Company, Limited (MECO) and HELCO in the respective principal amounts of $10 million. The 1997 junior deferrable debentures, which bear interest at 8.05% and mature on March 27, 2027, together with the subsidiary guarantees (pursuant to which the obligations of MECO and HELCO under their respective debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by HECO), are the sole assets of Trust I. The 1997 trust preferred securities must be redeemed at the maturity of the underlying debt on March 27, 2027, which maturity may be shortened to any date after March 27, 2002 or extended to a date no later than March 27, 2046. The 1997 trust preferred securities are not redeemable at the option of the holders, and may now be redeemed by Trust I, in whole or in part. All of the proceeds from the sale were invested by Trust I in the underlying debt securities of HECO, HELCO and MECO.

Table of Contents

In December 1998, HECO Capital Trust II (Trust II), a grantor trust and a wholly owned subsidiary of HECO, sold (i) in a public offering, 2 million of its HECO-Obligated 7.30% Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, Series 1998 (1998 trust preferred securities) with an aggregate liquidation preference of $50 million and (ii) to HECO, common securities with a liquidation preference of approximately $1.55 million. Proceeds from the sale of the 1998 trust preferred securities and the common securities were used by Trust II to purchase 7.30% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures, Series 1998 (1998 junior deferrable debentures) issued by HECO in the principal amount of $31.55 million and issued by each of MECO and HELCO in the respective principal amounts of $10 million. The 1998 junior deferrable debentures, which bear interest at 7.30% and mature on December 15, 2028, together with the subsidiary guarantees (pursuant to which the obligations of MECO and HELCO under their respective debentures are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by HECO), are the sole assets of Trust II. The 1998 trust preferred securities must be redeemed at the maturity of the underlying debt on December 15, 2028, which maturity may be shortened to a date no earlier than December 15, 2003 or extended to a date no later than December 15, 2047, and are not redeemable at the option of the holders, but may be redeemed by Trust II, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after December 15, 2003 or upon the occurrence of certain events. All of the proceeds from the sale were invested by Trust II in the underlying debt securities of HECO, HELCO and MECO, who used such proceeds from the sale of the 1998 junior deferrable debentures primarily to effect the redemption of certain series of their preferred stock having a total par value of $47 million.

The 1997 and 1998 junior deferrable debentures and the common securities of the Trusts have been eliminated in HECO’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The 1997 and 1998 junior deferrable debentures are redeemable only (i) at the option of HECO, MECO and HELCO, respectively, in whole or in part, on or after March 27, 2002 (1997 junior deferrable debentures) and December 15, 2003 (1998 junior deferrable debentures) or (ii) at the option of HECO, in whole, upon the occurrence of a “Special Event” (relating to certain changes in laws or regulations).

(6)  Recent accounting pronouncements

Asset retirement obligations

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are to be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the life of the asset. The discounted liability is to be accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company is to recognize a gain or loss on settlement. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. HECO and its subsidiaries will adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. Management has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adoption.

Rescission of SFAS No. 4, 44 and 64, amendment of SFAS No. 13, and technical corrections

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” SFAS No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements,” and SFAS No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers.” SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to SFAS No. 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of SFAS No. 145 are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. Early application of the provisions of SFAS No. 145 is encouraged and may be as of the beginning of the fiscal year or as of the beginning of the interim period in which SFAS No. 145 was issued. HECO and its

24



Table of Contents

subsidiaries adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 in the second quarter of 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material effect on HECO and its subsidiaries’ financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Costs associated with exit or disposal activities

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. Previous accounting guidance was provided by EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” SFAS No. 146 replaces EITF Issue No. 94-3. SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. HECO and its subsidiaries will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 on January 1, 2003. Since SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively, the adoption of SFAS No. 146 should have no effect on HECO and its subsidiaries’ historical financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

(8)  Financing costs

HECO and its subsidiaries use the straight-line method to amortize financing costs and premiums or discounts over the term of the related long-term debt. Unamortized financing costs and premiums or discounts on HECO and its subsidiaries’ long-term debt retired prior to maturity are classified as regulatory assets or liabilities and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining original term of the retired debt. The method and periods for amortizing financing costs, premiums and discounts, including the treatment of these items when long-term debt is retired prior to maturity, have been established by the PUC as part of the ratemaking process.

(9)  Consolidating financial information

HECO has not provided separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning HELCO and MECO because management has concluded that such financial statements and other information are not material to holders of the 1997 and 1998 junior deferrable debentures issued by HELCO and MECO since these securities have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed by HECO.

Consolidating financial information for HECO and its subsidiaries is as follows for the periods ended and as of the dates indicated:

Economic conditions

Because its core businesses are providing local electric utility and banking services, HEI’s operating results are significantly influenced by the strength of Hawaii’s economy, which in turn is influenced by economic conditions in the mainland U.S. (particularly California) and Asia (particularly Japan) as a result of the impact of those conditions on tourism. Hawaii’s economy appears to be improving after the negative effects of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Visitor arrivals continue to climb toward their pre-9/11 levels. Total visitor arrivals were down 4.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, but rose 28% for the month of September 2002 in comparison to September 2001. Solid growth was recorded in both domestic and international visitor markets in September 2002, with domestic arrivals increasing 22.5% and international arrivals increasing 40.5%. Strength in the construction and real estate industries are also driving the improvement in the economy. The total contracting tax base grew 5.4% in the first half of 2002 and construction jobs rose 4.7% in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same periods last year. Hawaii home sales volume was up 11.6% and the median home price was up 11.5% in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the first nine months of 2001.

The resiliency of Hawaii’s economy is reflected in various economic indicators. Hawaii’s unemployment rate was 4.3% in September 2002, lower than the national average of 5.4%. The Hawaii index of leading economic indicators (maintained by the State Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism) was up in July 2002 for the sixth consecutive month, signaling improvement in economic conditions in

the months ahead. Based on a recovering visitor market and growth in the construction and real estate industries, the State and other local economists forecast positive real growth in Hawaii’s economy of about 2% in 2002.

Pension and other postretirement benefits

Based on the estimated market value of the pension and other postretirement benefits trust assets as of October 31, 2002 of $663 million, assuming no further asset appreciation or depreciation through yearend, assuming a range of 9.0% to 10.0% for the expected long-term return on plan assets, and assuming a range of 6.75% to 7.25% for the discount rate, the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefits expense, net of tax benefits, for 2003 is projected to be as follows:

Kilowatthour (KWH) sales in the third quarter of 2002 increased 1.8% compared to the same period in 2001, partly due to an increase in the number of customers and higher customer KWH usage, primarily residential customers, despite slightly cooler weather. Offsetting the impact of the higher KWH sales were higher other operation and maintenance expenses and depreciation. Other operation and maintenance expenses increased 10% due in part to higher employee benefit expenses, including lower pension and other postretirement benefit credits ($2.1 million credit in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $4.3 million credit in the third quarter of 2001), and higher production department corrective maintenance expenses. The decrease in the pension and other postretirement benefit credits is largely related to the performance of the assets in the master pension trust and the decrease in the discount rate from 7.50% at December 31, 2000 to 7.25% at December 31, 2001. Also reflected in the higher other operation expenses are higher property insurance premiums, due to the 77% higher premiums charged as a result of the property insurance renewal completed in September 2002. Directors and officers liability insurance will be renewed in February 2004 and management expects significant premium increases based on current market conditions.

Table of Contents

KWH sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased 1.5% compared to the same period in 2001, partly due to an increase in the number of customers and higher customer kWh usage, primarily residential customers, despite slightly cooler weather. However, electric utility operating income decreased slightly compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, primarily due to higher other operation and maintenance expenses and depreciation and a $2 million nonrecurring PUC fee adjustment. Other operation expenses increased 5% due in part to higher employee benefit expenses, including lower pension and other postretirement benefit credits ($7.8 million credit in the first nine months of 2002 compared to $13.0 million credit in the first nine months of 2001). The decrease in the pension and other postretirement benefit credits is largely related to the performance of the assets in the master pension trust and the decrease in the discount rate from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001. Other maintenance expenses increased 7% due in part to the larger scope of generating unit overhauls and higher production department corrective maintenance expenses.

HECO and its subsidiaries’ growth in kWh sales are currently forecasted to be 1.7%, 2.0%, 2.2%, 1.7% and 1.9% for 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively, but actual kWh sales are affected by several factors outside the control of the electric utilities – such as weather, hotel occupancy levels and new construction – and thus may differ substantially from forecasted kWh sales.

Pension and other postretirement benefits

Based on the estimated market value of the pension and other postretirement benefits trust assets as of October 31, 2002 of $626 million, assuming no further asset appreciation or depreciation through yearend, assuming a range of 9.0% to 10.0% for the expected long-term return on plan assets, and assuming a range of 6.75% to 7.25% for the discount rate, the electric utilities’ pension and other postretirement benefits expense, net of tax benefits, for 2003 is projected to be as follows:

Competition

The electric utility industry in Hawaii has become increasingly competitive. IPPs are well established in Hawaii and continue to actively pursue new projects. Competition in the generation sector in Hawaii is moderated, however, by the scarcity of generation sites, various permitting processes and lack of interconnections to other electric utilities. Customer self-generation, with or without cogeneration, is a continuing competitive factor. HECO and its subsidiaries have been able to compete successfully by offering customers economic alternatives that, among other things, employ energy efficient electrotechnologies such as the heat pump water heater.

In 1996, the PUC instituted a proceeding to identify and examine the issues surrounding electric competition and to determine the impact of competition on the electric utility infrastructure in Hawaii. Several of the parties submitted final statements of position to the PUC in 1998. HECO’s position in the proceeding was that retail competition is not feasible in Hawaii, but that some of the benefits of competition could be achieved through competitive bidding for new generation, performance-based rate-making (PBR) and innovative pricing provisions. The other parties to the proceeding advanced numerous other proposals.

In May 1999, the PUC approved HECO’s standard form contract for customer retention that allows HECO to provide a rate option for customers who would otherwise reduce their energy use from HECO’s system by using energy from a nonutility generator. Based on HECO’s current rates, the standard form contract provides a 2.77% and an 11.27% discount on base energy rates for qualifying “Large Power” and “General Service Demand” customers, respectively. In March 2000, the PUC approved a similar standard form contract for HELCO which,

39



Table of Contents

based on HELCO’s current rates, provides a 10.00% discount on base energy rates for qualifying “Large Power” and “General Service Demand” customers.

In December 1999, HECO, HELCO and MECO filed an application with the PUC seeking permission to implement PBR in future rate cases. In early 2001, the PUC dismissed the PBR proposal without prejudice, indicating it declined at that time to change its current cost of service/rate of return methodology for determining electric utility rates.

In January 2000, the PUC submitted to the legislature a status report on its investigation of competition. The report stated that competitive bidding for new power supplies (i.e., wholesale generation competition) is a logical first step to encourage competition in the state’s electric industry and that the PUC plans to proceed with an examination of the feasibility of competitive bidding and to review specific policies to encourage renewable energy resources in the power generation mix. The report states that “further steps” by the PUC “will involve the development of specific policies to encourage wholesale competition and the continuing examination of other areas suitable for the development of competition.” HECO is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the proceeding, which of the proposals (if any) advanced in the proceeding will be implemented or whether the parties will seek and obtain state legislative action on their proposals (other than the legislation described below under “Legislation”).

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 and order (D&O) 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 D&O in a rate or other proceeding, would affect the amounts the utility charges to its customers and recognizes as revenues and 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 D&O 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 D&O. Interim rate increases are subject to refund with interest, pending the final outcome of the case. At September 30, 2002, HECO and its subsidiaries had recognized $16 million of revenues with respect to interim orders regarding certain integrated resource planning (IRP) costs, which revenues are subject to refund, with interest, to the extent they exceed the amounts allowed in final orders. The Consumer Advocate has objected to the recovery of $1.8 million (before interest) of the $8.2 million of IRP costs incurred from 1995 through 1998 and the PUC’s decision is pending on this matter. The Consumer Advocate has not stated its position on the recovery of the $1.8 million of IRP costs incurred from 1999 through 2001.Management cannot predict with certainty when D&Os in pending or future rate cases or dockets will be rendered or the amount of any interim or final rate increase that may be granted.

Recent rate requests

HEI’s electric utility subsidiaries initiate PUC proceedings from time to time to request electric rate increases to cover rising operating costs (e.g., the cost of purchased power) and the cost of plant and equipment, including the cost of new capital projects to maintain and improve service reliability. As of October 1, 2002, the return on average common equity (ROACE) found by the PUC to be reasonable in the most recent final rate decision for each utility was 11.40% for HECO (D&O issued on December 11, 1995 and based on a 1995 test year), 11.50% for HELCO (D&O issued on February 8, 2001 and based on a 2000 test year) and 10.94% for MECO (amended D&O issued on April 6, 1999 and based on a 1999 test year).

Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.

HECO has not initiated a rate case for several years, but in 2001 it committed to initiate a rate case within three years, using a 2003 or 2004 test year, as part of the agreement described below under “Other regulatory matters, Demand-side management programs – HECO and Consumer Advocate agreements.” In October 2002, HECO filed an application with the PUC for approval to change its depreciation rates and to change to vintage amortization accounting for selected plant accounts, which changes would have amounted to an approximate $4.2 million, or 6.3%, increase in depreciation expense based on a study of depreciation expense for 2000. In its application, HECO requested that the effective date of the

40



Table of Contents

proposed changes coincide with the effective date of the rates established in HECO’s next rate case proceeding so that HECO’s financial results would not be negatively impacted by the depreciation rates and method ultimately approved by the PUC.

Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc.

In October 1999, HELCO filed a request to increase rates by 9.6%, or $15.5 million in annual revenues, based on a 2000 test year.

In early 2001, HELCO received a final D&O from the PUC authorizing an $8.4 million, or 4.9% increase in annual revenues, effective February 15, 2001 and based on an 11.50% ROACE. The order granted HELCO an increase of approximately $2.3 million in annual revenues, in addition to affirming interim increases that took effect in September 2000 ($3.5 million) and January 2001 ($2.6 million). The D&O included in rate base $7.6 million for pre-air permit facilities needed for the delayed Keahole power plant expansion project that the PUC had also found to be used or useful to support the existing generating units at Keahole.

On June 1, 2001, the PUC issued an order approving a new standby service rate schedule rider for HELCO. The standby service rider issue had been bifurcated from the rest of the rate case. The rider provides the rates, terms and conditions for obtaining backup and supplemental electric power from the utility when a customer obtains all or part of its electric power from sources other than HELCO.

The timing of a future HELCO rate increase request to recover costs relating to the suspended Keahole power plant expansion project, including the remaining cost of pre-air permit facilities, will depend on future circumstances. See “HELCO power situation” in note (4) of HECO’s notes to consolidated financial statements.

PUC Commissioners

In July 2002, Commissioner Dennis R. Yamada retired and Commissioner Wayne H. Kimura became the Chairman of the PUC. In September 2002, Gregg J. Kinkley began serving as Commissioner for a term to expire in June 2004, subject to state Senate confirmation. Prior to his appointment, Mr. Kinkley served as the Consumer Advocate of the State of Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. Continuing to serve is Commissioner Janet E. Kawelo.

Other regulatory matters

Demand-side management programs – HECO and Consumer Advocate agreements

In October 2001, HECO and the Consumer Advocate finalized agreements, subject to PUC approval, under which HECO’s three commercial and industrial demand-side management (DSM) programs and two residential DSM programs would be continued until HECO’s next rate case, which, under the agreements, HECO committed to file using a 2003 or 2004 test year. The agreements for the temporary continuation of HECO’s existing DSM programs are in lieu of HECO continuing to seek approval of new 5-year DSM programs. Any DSM programs to be in place after HECO’s next rate case will be determined as part of the case. Under the agreements, HECO will cap the recovery of lost margins and shareholder incentives if such recovery would cause HECO to exceed its current authorized return on rate base. HECO also agrees it will not pursue the continuation of lost margins recovery and shareholder incentives through a surcharge mechanism in future rate cases. Consistent with the HECO agreements, in October 2001, HELCO and MECO reached agreements with the Consumer Advocate and filed requests to continue their four existing DSM programs. In November 2001, the PUC issued orders (one of which was later amended) that, subject to certain reporting requirements and other conditions, approved (1) the agreements regarding the temporary continuation of HECO’s five existing DSM programs until HECO’s next rate case and (2) the agreements regarding the temporary continuation of HELCO’s and MECO’s DSM programs until one year after the PUC makes a revenue requirements determination in HECO’s next rate case. Under the orders, however, HELCO and MECO are allowed to recover only lost margins and shareholder incentives accrued through the date that interim rates are established in HECO’s next rate case, but may request to extend the time of such accrual and recovery for up to one additional year.

Demand-side management programs - lost margins and shareholder incentives

HECO, HELCO and MECO’s energy efficiency DSM programs, currently approved by the PUC, provide for the recovery of lost margins and the earning of shareholder incentives.

Lost margins collected are calculated prospectively based on the programs’ forecasted levels of participation, and are subject to two adjustments based on (1) the actual level of participation and (2) the results of impact evaluation reports. The difference between the adjusted lost margins and the previously collected lost margins are subject to refund or recovery, with any over or under collection accruing interest at HECO, HELCO, or MECO’s authorized rate of return on rate base. HECO, HELCO and MECO plan to file the impact evaluation report for the 2000-2002 period with the PUC in the first quarter of 2004 and adjust the lost margin recovery as required. Past adjustments required for lost margins have not had a material effect on HECO, HELCO or MECO’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Shareholder incentives are calculated and collected retrospectively based on the programs’ actual levels of participation for the prior year. Beginning in 2001, shareholder incentives collected are subject to retroactive adjustment based on the results of impact evaluation reports, similar to the adjustment process for lost margins.

Legislation

Congress and the Hawaii legislature periodically consider legislation that could have positive or negative effects on the utilities and their customers. For example, Congress is attempting to reconcile substantially different House and Senate versions of an energy bill. Outcomes could range from an increased supply of domestic oil to federal mandates for renewable energy.

The Hawaii legislature did not consider deregulation in its 2002 session, but did consider legislation to prohibit standby charges by utilities, require the undergrounding of utility lines, require the utilities to establish “green” marketing programs and institute a carbon tax on utilities, among other proposals. The legislature did not adopt these proposals.

Earnings of ASB depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. 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. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Seattle and securities sold under agreements to repurchase continue to be significant sources of funds. Other factors affecting ASB’s operating results include gains or losses on sales of securities available for sale, fee income, provision for loan losses and expenses from operations.

ASB’s net income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased 32% and 29%, respectively, over the comparable periods last year due to higher net interest and other income. Continued low interest rates and high mortgage refinancing volume, however, have begun to pressure ASB’s interest rate spread as the loan portfolio reprices lower while deposit rates are already at low levels. On November 6, the Federal Reserve Board cut the federal funds target rate by 50 basis points to a 41 year low of 1.25%, which could potentially have a negative impact on ASB’s net interest income in the future. See “Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.”

Three months ended September 30, 2002

Net interest income before provision for losses for the third quarter of 2002 increased by $4.3 million, or 9.6%, over the same period in 2001. For the third quarter of 2002, net interest spread increased from 3.08% to 3.28% when compared to the same period in 2001 as ASB’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased faster than the yield on its interest-earning assets. The increase in the average loan portfolio balance was due to higher loan production in ASB’s commercial lending and commercial real estate loan portfolios. The average balance of investments (including temporarily invested cash) for the third quarter of 2002 decreased compared to the third quarter of 2001 as investments were liquidated and funds were used to purchase higher yielding mortgage-related securities. The

44



Table of Contents

increase in average deposit balances was primarily in core deposit balances, which also lowered the weighted-average rate on ASB’s deposit balances. The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2002 was $1.5 million lower than the third quarter of 2001 as delinquencies have been at five-year lows.

Other income for the third quarter of 2002 increased by $1.1 million, or 9.6%, over the same period in 2001. ASB had $1.8 million of higher fee income from its deposit liabilities for the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 primarily from income from service charges. The third quarter 2002 increase in fee income from other financial services of $0.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2001 was due to higher fee income from its debit and ATM cards resulting from ASB’s expansion of its debit card base and its introduction of new check cashing ATMs in August 2001. Fee income on loans serviced for others decreased by $1.5 million as the bank recorded writedowns from its mortgage servicing rights totaling $1.3 million.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2002 increased by $1.8 million, or 5.4%, over the same period in 2001. Compensation and benefits for the third quarter of 2002 was $1.7 million higher than the same period in 2001 primarily due to increased staffing levels. Also, consulting expenses for the third quarter of 2002 increased by $0.9 million over the third quarter of 2001 for consulting services to implement strategic changes to become a full-service community bank. The amortization of goodwill decreased by $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” on January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually.

Nine months ended September 30, 2002

Net interest income before provision for losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $8.3 million, or 6.0%, over the same period in 2001. Net interest spread increased from 3.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 3.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as ASB’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased faster than the yield on its interest-earning assets. The decrease in the average loan portfolio balance was due to the securitization of $0.4 billion in residential loans into FNMA pass-through securities in June 2001. The increase in average deposit balances was primarily in core deposit balances. The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2002 was $1.0 million lower than the first nine months of 2001 as delinquencies have been at five-year lows.

Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $9.8 million, or 34.1%, over the same period in 2001. ASB had $5.0 million of higher fee income from its deposit liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 primarily from income from service charges. Fee income from other financial services increased by $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 due to higher fee income from its debit and ATM cards resulting from ASB’s expansion of its debit card base and its introduction of new check cashing ATMs in August 2001. Fee income on loans serviced for others for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased by $2.2 million compared to the same period in 2001 as the bank recorded writedowns on its mortgage servicing rights of $2.0 million. Gains on sales of investments and mortgage-related securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased by $4.4 million compared to the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, ASB recognized a loss of $6.2 million on the writedown of investments in trust certificates to their then-current estimated fair value.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $5.2 million, or 5.2%, over the same period in 2001. Compensation and benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $5.4 million higher than the same period in 2001 primarily due to increased staffing levels. Consulting expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by $2.1 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2001 for consulting services to implement strategic changes to become a full-service community bank. The amortization of goodwill decreased by $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” on January 1, 2002.

ASB continues to manage the volatility of its net interest income by managing the relationship of interest-sensitive assets to interest-sensitive liabilities. To accomplish this, ASB management uses simulation analysis to monitor and measure the relationship between the balances and repayment and repricing characteristics of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. Specifically, simulation analysis is used to measure net interest income and net market value fluctuations in various interest-rate scenarios. See “Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.” In order to manage its interest-rate risk profile, ASB has utilized the following strategies: (1) increasing the level of low-cost core deposits; (2) originating relatively short-term or variable-rate business banking and commercial real estate loans; (3) investing in mortgage-related securities with short average lives; and (4) taking advantage of the lower interest-rate environment by lengthening the maturities of interest-bearing liabilities. The shape of the yield curve and the difference between the short-term and long-term rates are also factors affecting profitability. For example, if a long-term fixed rate earning asset were funded by a short-term costing liability, the interest rate spread would be higher in a “steep” yield curve than a “flat” yield curve interest-rate environment

During the first nine months of 2002, ASB added $8.0 million to its allowance for loan losses. As of September 30, 2002, ASB’s allowance for loan losses was 1.62% of average loans outstanding. The following table presents the changes in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

In March 1998, ASB formed a subsidiary, ASB Realty Corporation, which elects to be taxed as a real estate investment trust. This reorganization has reduced Hawaii bank franchise taxes, net of federal income taxes, of HEIDI and ASB by $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and $12 million for prior years. ASB has taken a dividends received deduction on dividends paid to it by ASB Realty Corporation in the returns filed in 1999 through 2002. The State of Hawaii Department of Taxation has challenged ASB’s position and has issued notices of tax assessment for 1999, 2000 and 2001. The aggregate amount of tax assessments is approximately $14 million (or $9 million, net of income tax benefits) for tax years 1999 through 2001, plus interest of $3 million (or $2 million, net of income tax benefits) through September 30, 2002. The interest on the tax is accruing at a simple interest rate of 8%. ASB believes that its tax position is proper and, in October 2002, filed an appeal with the State Board of Review, First Taxation District.

Regulation

ASB is subject to extensive regulation, principally by the OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Depending on ASB’s level of regulatory capital and other considerations, these regulations could restrict the ability of ASB to compete with other institutions and to pay dividends to its shareholders. See the discussions below under “Liquidity and capital resources—Bank.”

For a discussion of securities deemed impermissible investments by the OTS, see “Disposition of certain debt securities” in note (4) of HEI’s notes to consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and capital resources

The Company and consolidated HECO each believes that its ability to generate cash, both internally from operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, commercial paper and bank borrowings, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund its respective construction programs and investments and to cover debt and other cash requirements in the foreseeable future.

The consolidated capital structure of HEI (excluding ASB’s deposit liabilities, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and advances from the FHLB of Seattle) was as follows:

In May 2002, S&P revised its credit outlook on HEI and HECO securities to stable from negative, citing “recovery in Hawaii’s economy, moderate construction spending, aggressive cost containment, limited competitive pressures, steady banking operations, and expectations for continued financial improvement.” In June 2001, Moody’s revised

48



Table of Contents

its credit outlook on HEI and HECO securities to stable from negative, citing “significant improvements in the Hawaiian economy, the resulting strong financial performance of the company’s main operating subsidiaries, and a reduced emphasis on overseas investments.”

The rating agencies use a combination of qualitative measures (i.e., assessment of business risk that incorporates an analysis of the qualitative factors of management, competitive positioning, operations, markets and regulation) as well as quantitative measures (e.g., cash flow, debt, interest coverage and liquidity ratios) in determining the Companies’ ratings.

In May 2002, at the time HEI filed a shelf registration statement to register the sale of up to $300 million of medium-term notes, Moody’s affirmed HEI’s medium-term note rating (Baa2) and S&P affirmed HEI’s and HECO’s debt ratings (A-2 for commercial paper, BBB for HEI’s medium-term notes and BBB+ for HECO’s noninsured revenue bonds).

From time to time, HEI and HECO each utilizes short-term debt, principally commercial paper, to support normal operations and for other temporary requirements. HECO also borrows short-term from HEI from time to time. HEI and HECO had average outstanding balances of commercial paper for the third quarter of 2002 of $1.9 million and $24.1 million, and balances at September 30, 2002 of nil and $29.8 million, respectively. Management believes that, if HEI’s and HECO’s commercial paper ratings were downgraded, they may not be able to sell commercial paper under current market conditions.

At September 30, 2002, HEI and HECO maintained bank lines of credit totaling $60 million and $100 million, respectively (all maturing in the first half of 2003). These lines of credit are principally maintained to support the issuance of commercial paper and may be drawn for general corporate purposes. Accordingly, the lines of credit are available for short-term liquidity in the event a ratings downgrade obviates access to the commercial paper markets. A $30 million line of credit to HEI contains provisions for revised pricing in the event of a ratings change (e.g., a ratings downgrade of HEI medium-term notes from BBB/Baa2 to BBB-/Baa3 by S&P and Moody’s, respectively, would result in a 15 basis points higher interest rate; a ratings upgrade from BBB/Baa2 to BBB+/Baa1 by S&P and Moody’s, respectively, would result in a 30 basis points lower interest rate). There are no such provisions in the Companies’ other lines of credit agreements. Further, none of HEI’s or HECO’s line of credit agreements contain “material adverse change” clauses that would affect access to the lines of credit in the event of a ratings downgrade or other material adverse events. At September 30, 2002, the lines were unused. HEI and HECO are arranging for additional lines of credit and will seek to renew existing lines upon maturity (in amounts deemed necessary).

For the first nine months of 2002, net cash provided by operating activities of consolidated HEI was $192 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $470 million, largely due to banking activities (including the purchase of mortgage-related securities and origination and purchase of loans, net of repayments and sales of such securities) and HECO’s consolidated capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities was $82 million as a result of several factors, including net increases in deposits, short-term borrowings and advances from the FHLB and proceeds from the issuance of common stock, partly offset by the payment of common stock dividends and trust preferred securities distributions, net repayments of long-term debt and a net decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Total HEI consolidated financing requirements for 2002 through 2006, including net capital expenditures (which exclude AFUDC and capital expenditures funded by third-party contributions in aid of construction) and long-term debt retirements (excluding repayments of advances from the FHLB of Seattle and securities sold under agreements to repurchase), are estimated to total $1.2 billion. Of this amount, approximately $0.7 billion is for net capital expenditures (mostly relating to the electric utilities’ net capital expenditures described below), $0.3 billion is for the retirement or maturity of long-term debt and $0.2 billion is primarily for net ASB activities. HEI’s consolidated internal sources (primarily consolidated cash flows from operations comprised mainly of net income, adjusted for noncash income and expense items such as depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes, and changes in working capital), after the payment of dividends, are expected to provide approximately 73% of the consolidated financing requirements (approximately 103% excluding long-term debt retirements), with debt and equity financing providing the remaining

requirements. Additional debt and/or equity financing may be required to fund unanticipated expenditures not included in the 2002 through 2006 forecast, such as increases in the costs of or an acceleration of the construction of capital projects of the electric utilities.

In November 2001, HEI sold 1.5 million shares of its common stock in a registered public offering. Proceeds of approximately $54 million from the sale initially were used to make short-term investments or to make short-term loans to HECO, and ultimately used to repay long-term debt at maturity and for other general corporate purposes.

Following is a discussion of the liquidity and capital resources of HEI’s largest segments.

Operating activities provided $121 million in net cash during the first nine months of 2002. Investing activities used net cash of $71 million, primarily for capital expenditures. Financing activities used net cash of $51 million, including $38 million for the payment of common and preferred dividends and preferred securities distributions and a $12 million net decrease in short-term debt, partially offset by a $7 million net increase in long-term debt.

The electric utilities’ consolidated financing requirements for 2002 through 2006, including net capital expenditures and long-term debt repayments, are estimated to total $0.6 billion. HECO’s consolidated internal sources (primarily consolidated cash flows from operations comprised mainly of net income, adjusted for noncash income and expense items such as depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes, and changes in working capital), after the payment of dividends, are expected to provide cash in excess of the consolidating financing requirements and may be used to reduce the level of short-term borrowings. However, debt and/or equity financing may be required to fund unanticipated expenditures not included in the 2002 through 2006 forecast, such as increases in the costs of, or an acceleration of the construction of, capital projects. HECO currently does not anticipate the need to issue common equity over the five-year period 2002 through 2006. The PUC must approve issuances, if any, of equity and long-term debt securities by HECO and its subsidiaries.

In September 2002, the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii issued, at a small discount, Series 2002A Special Purpose Revenue Bonds in the principal amount of $40 million with a maturity of 30 years and a fixed coupon interest rate of 5.10% (yield of 5.15%), and loaned the proceeds from the sale to HECO. Payments on the revenue bonds are insured by a financial guaranty insurance policy issued by Ambac Assurance Corporation.

As of September 30, 2002, an additional $25 million of special purpose revenue bonds were authorized by the Hawaii Legislature for issuance for the benefit of HELCO prior to the end of 2003.

Capital expenditures include the costs of projects that 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 2002 through 2006 are currently estimated to total $0.6 billion. Approximately 60% of forecast gross capital expenditures (which include AFUDC and the capital expenditures funded by third-party contributions in aid of construction) is for transmission and distribution projects, with the remaining 40% primarily for generation projects.

For 2002, electric utility net capital expenditures are estimated to be $114 million. Gross capital expenditures are estimated to be $132 million, including approximately $88 million for transmission and distribution projects,

50



Table of Contents

approximately $30 million for generation projects and approximately $14 million for general plant and other projects. Drawdowns of proceeds from sales of tax-exempt special purpose revenue bonds and the generation of funds from internal sources are expected to provide the cash needed for the net capital expenditures in 2002.

Management periodically reviews capital expenditure estimates and the timing of construction projects. These estimates may change significantly as a result of many considerations, including changes in economic conditions, changes in forecasts of KWH sales and peak load, the availability of purchased power and changes in expectations concerning the construction and ownership of future generating units, the availability of generating sites and transmission and distribution corridors, the ability to obtain adequate and timely rate increases, escalation in construction costs, the impacts of demand-side management programs, the effects of opposition to proposed construction projects and requirements of environmental and other regulatory and permitting authorities.

As of September 30, 2002, ASB was the third largest financial institution in Hawaii based on total assets of $6.2 billion and deposits of $3.7 billion.

ASB’s principal sources of liquidity are customer deposits, wholesale borrowings, the sale of mortgage loans into secondary market channels and the maturity and repayment of portfolio loans and mortgage-related securities. ASB’s deposits increased by $69 million during the first nine months of 2002. ASB’s principal sources of borrowings are advances from the FHLB and securities sold under agreements to repurchase from broker/dealers. At September 30, 2002, FHLB borrowings totaled $1.2 billion, representing 19% of assets. ASB is approved by the FHLB to borrow up to 35% of assets to the extent it provides qualifying collateral and holds sufficient FHLB stock. At September 30, 2002, ASB’s unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $1.0 billion. At September 30, 2002, securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $0.6 billion, representing 10% of assets. ASB utilizes growth in deposits, advances from the FHLB and securities sold under agreements to repurchase to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans and make investments. At September 30, 2002, ASB had commitments to borrowers for undisbursed loan funds and unused lines and letters of credit of $0.7 billion. Management believes ASB’s current sources of funds will enable it to meet these obligations while maintaining liquidity at satisfactory levels.

In June 2001, ASB converted $0.4 billion in residential mortgage loans into FNMA pass-through securities. These securities were transferred into the investment securities portfolio and can serve as collateral for FHLB advances and other borrowings. The conversion of the loans also improves ASB’s risk-based capital ratio since less capital is needed to support federal agency securities than whole loans. In late June 2001, ASB sold $0.2 billion of the FNMA securities to improve ASB’s interest-rate risk profile. The securities sold were lower yielding 30-year fixed-rate securities with long durations. ASB reinvested the proceeds into shorter duration fixed-rate and adjustable-rate securities.

For the first nine months of 2002, net cash provided by ASB’s operating activities was $68 million. Net cash used in ASB’s investing activities was $398 million, due largely to the purchase of mortgage-related securities and the origination and purchase of loans, net of repayments and sales. Net cash provided by financing activities was $129 million largely due to net increases in deposits and advances from the FHLB, partly offset by the net decrease in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and the payment of common and preferred stock dividends.

Table of Contents

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 growth. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations restrict the ability of financial institutions that are not well-capitalized to compete on the same terms as well-capitalized institutions, such as by offering interest rates on deposits that are significantly higher than the rates offered by competing institutions. As of September 30, 2002, ASB was well-capitalized (ratio requirements noted in parentheses) with a leverage ratio of 6.8% (5.0%), a Tier-1 risk-based ratio of 13.8% (6.0%) and a total risk-based ratio of 15.1% (10.0%).

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company’s results of operations and financial condition can be affected by numerous factors, many of which are beyond its control and could cause future results of operations to differ materially from historical results. Such factors include international, national and local economic conditions; competition in its principal segments; developments in the U.S. capital markets; weather; terrorist acts; interest-rate environment; loan loss experience; technological developments; final costs of exits from discontinued operations; asset dispositions; insurance coverages; environmental matters; regulation of electric utility rates; deliveries of fuel oil and purchased power; other electric utility regulatory and permitting contingencies; and regulation of ASB. For additional information about these factors, see pages 15 to 23 of HEI’s 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders (HEI Exhibit 13.1 to HEI’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 5, 2002, File No. 1-8503).

Additional factors that may affect future results and financial condition are described on page v under “Forward-looking statements.”

MATERIAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the case of the Company include the amounts reported for investment securities, allowance for loan losses, regulatory assets, pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, reserves for discontinued operations, current and deferred taxes, contingencies and litigation.

In accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” management has identified the accounting policies it believes to be the most critical to the Company’s financial statements—that is, management believes that these policies are both the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and currently require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. For information about these policies, see pages 23 to 25 of HEI’s 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders (HEI Exhibit 13.1 to HEI’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 5, 2002, File No. 1-8503).

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

The Company considers interest-rate risk to be a very significant market risk for ASB as it could potentially have a significant effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. For additional quantitative and qualitative information about the Company’s market risks, see pages 25 to 29 of HEI’s 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders (HEI Exhibit 13.1 to HEI’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 5, 2002, File No. 1-8503).

Interest-rate risk is the sensitivity of net interest income and the sensitivity of the market value of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates. The primary source of interest-rate risk is the mismatch in timing between the maturity or repricing of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. Large mismatches could adversely affect ASB’s earnings and market value in the event of significant changes in the level of interest rates.

ASB’s interest-rate risk profile is primarily impacted by the fixed-rate residential mortgage loans originated by ASB and retained in its portfolio, as well as the fixed-rate mortgage-related securities in its investment portfolio. These

52



Table of Contents

assets are characterized by fixed rates and relatively long average lives, but also have the potential to prepay at any time without penalty. The option to prepay is usually exercised by borrowers in low interest rate environments, significantly shortening the average lives of these assets. ASB’s liabilities, which consist of consumer deposits and wholesale borrowings, typically have shorter average lives than the fixed-rate mortgage loans, and will therefore reprice sooner than the mortgage assets. As a result, in a rising interest-rate environment, the average rate on ASB’s liabilities will tend to increase faster than the average rate on the existing mortgage loan portfolio, causing a reduction in net interest spread and net interest income. However, the current net interest income profile differs slightly from the typical profile of a liability sensitive institution, a result of the extremely low level of interest rates represented in the base case scenario.

ASB management utilizes a variety of on-balance sheet activities for managing interest-rate risk. These include, but are not limited to: (1) the pricing and structure of its loans and deposits, (2) the amount and maturity of wholesale borrowings, and (3) the size and duration of the investment portfolio. ASB currently does not use any off-balance sheet interest-rate derivatives to manage interest-rate risk.

Management measures interest-rate risk using simulation analysis with an emphasis on measuring changes in net interest income and ASB’s net portfolio value (NPV) ratio in different interest-rate environments.

Net interest income simulation analysis measures the sensitivity of pre-tax net interest income, over a twelve-month horizon, to various interest-rate scenarios. Net interest income sensitivity is calculated as the percentage change in net interest income in alternative interest-rate scenarios, relative to the base case. The base case interest-rate scenario is established using the yield curve as of September 30, 2002. The comparative scenarios assume immediate and sustained parallel shocks of the yield curve in increments of +/- 100 basis points. Key balance sheet modeling assumptions used in the net interest income analysis include holding the size of the balance sheet constant over the simulation horizon and reinvesting maturing assets or liabilities back into similar instruments in order to maintain the current mix of the balance sheet. In addition, certain assumptions are made about the repricing characteristics of deposit accounts with indeterminate maturities. The simulation does not contemplate any actions that ASB management might undertake in response to changes in interest rates. These assumptions are used for analytical purposes only and do not represent management’s view of future market movements or future earnings. Rather, these assumptions are intended to help management identify potential exposures in ASB’s current balance sheet. 

ASB’s NPV ratio is a measure of the economic capitalization of the bank. The NPV ratio is the ratio of the net portfolio value of ASB to the present value of expected net cash flows from existing assets. Net portfolio value is defined as the present value of expected net cash flows from existing assets minus the present value of expected cash flows from existing liabilities plus the present value of expected net cash flows from existing off-balance sheet contracts and, therefore, represents the theoretical market value of ASB’s net worth. The NPV ratio is calculated by ASB pursuant to guidelines established by the OTS in Thrift Bulletin 13a. Key assumptions used in the calculation of ASB’s NPV ratio include the prepayment behavior of loans and investments, the possible distribution of future interest rates, and the rate and balance behavior of deposit accounts with indeterminate maturities.

The NPV ratio sensitivity measure is the change from the NPV ratio calculated in the base case to the NPV ratio calculated in each of the alternative interest-rate scenarios. In general, high NPV ratio sensitivity measures are indicative of large imbalances between the maturity or repricing of interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities, while low NPV Ratio Sensitivity measures are indicative of small imbalances. This measure alone is not necessarily indicative of the interest-rate risk of an institution, as institutions with adequate levels of capital can typically safely support a high sensitivity measure. This measure is evaluated in conjunction with the NPV ratio calculated in each scenario.

Management believes that ASB’s interest-rate risk position at September 30, 2002 represents a reasonable level of risk. In the past, ASB’s NII profile has shown NII increasing in the falling rate scenarios and decreasing in the rising rate scenarios. That profile is typical of an institution that is “liability sensitive.” The current NII profile differs slightly and reflects the impact of the extremely low level of interest rates represented in the base case scenario. In the base case, the fast prepayment speeds forecasted as a result of the low level of interest rates causes the overall yield of the mortgage assets (mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities) to decrease as the mortgage assets rapidly reprice downward in the low interest rate environment. In the +100 basis point scenario, the prepayment forecast slows, and the mortgage assets maintain their yield. The increase in interest income is slightly greater than the increase in interest expense and results in a slight improvement in the 12-month estimate of net interest income compared to the base case. In the +200 and +300 basis point scenarios, this phenomenon disappears, as the profile becomes more like that of a “liability sensitive” institution. In the higher rate scenarios, slower prepayment speeds reduce the runoff of the existing mortgage assets, which reduces the amount available for reinvestment at current market rates. This constrains the speed with which the yield on the mortgage asset portfolio can adjust upwards to market levels. At the same time, the increase in yield on the liabilities continues to increase with each increase in the level of rates. In the –100 basis point scenario the NII measure is negatively impacted by even faster prepayment forecasts, which causes the yield on mortgage assets to decline faster than the yield on liabilities.

Similarly, for a “liability sensitive” institution, the NPV ratio is expected to increase in a falling rate scenario. In the –100 basis point scenario, however, ASB’s NPV ratio declines because price compression in the mortgage assets allows the market value of the liabilities to increase more than the market value of the assets. The extremely high level of prepayments forecasted for the mortgage assets limits the market value appreciation as rates fall. The liabilities, on the other hand, do not have similar prepayment features, so the market value of the liabilities continues to increase as rates fall. 

The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, actual balance changes and pricing strategies, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Furthermore, to the extent market conditions and other factors vary from the assumptions used in the simulation analysis, actual results will differ from the simulation results.

There are no significant developments in pending legal proceedings except as set forth in HEI’s and HECO’s notes to consolidated financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and Item 5, “Other information.”

Item 5.  Other information

A.

State of Hawaii, ex rel., Bruce R. Knapp, Qui Tam Plaintiff, and Beverly Perry, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated, Class Plaintiff, vs. The AES Corporation, AES Hawaii, Inc., Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc., and Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc.

On April 22 and 23, 2002, HECO and HEI, respectively, were served with a complaint filed in the Circuit Court for the First Circuit of Hawaii which alleges that the State of Hawaii and HECO’s other customers have been overcharged for electricity as a result of alleged excessive prices in the amended power purchase agreement (Amended PPA) between defendants HECO and AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES-HI). AES-HI is a subsidiary of The AES Corporation (AES), which guarantees certain obligations of AES-HI under the Amended PPA.

HECO entered into a PPA with AES Barbers Point, Inc. (now known as AES-HI) in March 1988, and the PPA was amended in August 1989. The AES-HI 180 MW coal-fired cogeneration plant, which became operational in September 1992, utilizes a “clean-coal” technology and is designed to sell sufficient steam to be a “Qualifying Facility” under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. The Amended PPA, which has a 30-year term, was approved by the PUC in December 1989, following contested case hearings in October 1988, an initial Decision and Order in July 1989, an amendment of the PPA in August 1989, and further contested case hearings in November 1989. Intervenors included the state Consumer Advocate and the U.S. Department of Defense. The PUC proceedings addressed a number of issues, including whether the prices for capacity and energy in the Amended PPA were less than HECO’s long-term estimated avoided costs, whether HECO needed the capacity to be provided by AES-HI, and whether the terms and conditions of the Amended PPA were reasonable.

The Complaint alleges that HECO’s payments to AES-HI for power, based on the prices, terms and conditions in the PUC-approved Amended PPA, have been “excessive” by over $1 billion since September 1992, and that approval of the Amended PPA was wrongfully obtained from the PUC as a result of alleged misrepresentations and/or material omissions by the defendants, individually and/or in conspiracy, with respect to the estimated future costs of the Amended PPA versus the costs of hypothetical HECO-owned generating units. The Complaint seeks treble damages, attorneys fees’, rescission of the Amended PPA, and punitive damages against HECO, HEI, AES-HI and AES under Hawaii laws permitting qui tam actions (asserting that the State declined to take over the action) and prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices, and also asserts claims of fraud and unjust enrichment. The

55

claimed damages are payments by the State and the class of all HECO customers for electricity at rates established by the PUC based on HECO’s costs, including payments under the Amended PPA to AES-HI.

On May 22, 2002, AES, with the consent of HECO and HEI, removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii (District Court) on the ground that the action arises under and is completely preempted by the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.

On June 12, 2002, HECO and HEI filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that the plaintiffs’ claims either arose prior to enactment of the Hawaii False Claims Act, which does not have retroactive application, or are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. AES also filed a motion to dismiss, on the same and additional grounds. The hearing on both motions has been continued to December 4, 2002.

Plaintiffs moved to remand the case to state court on June 21, 2002. On September 26, 2002, the Federal Magistrate Judge issued his Findings and Recommendation that plaintiffs’ motion to remand be granted, finding no federal subject matter jurisdiction. The ruling further recommended that plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees and costs be denied. The District Court Judge may accept or reject the Findings and Recommendation.

Management believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

B.          Puna Geothermal Venture

HELCO has a 35-year PPA with Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) for 30 MW of firm capacity from its geothermal steam facility expiring on December 31, 2027. PGV’s output has been in decline since mid-2000 and PGV is currently able to produce only about 5 MW of firm capacity compared to the 30 MW the company contracted to provide to HELCO. The loss of generation capacity has been attributed to blockage of a source well due to a failed liner 5,000 feet below the earth’s surface and decreasing steam quality emanating from one of its source wells. PGV is in the process of drilling additional source wells and a re-injection well in order to recover the 30 MW capacity. PGV is targeting a return to full contract capacity of 30 MW in late 2002 or early 2003.

C.          Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company

MECO has a PPA with Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (HC&S) for 16 MW of firm capacity. The HC&S generating units primarily burn bagasse (sugar cane waste) along with secondary fuels of oil or coal. In March 1998, an HC&S unit failed and HC&S lost 10 MW of generating capacity. HC&S replaced the unit and put it into operation in the second quarter of 2000. HC&S, however, has since struggled to meet its contractual obligations to MECO in 2000, 2001 and 2002 due to operational constraints that led to several claims of force majeure by HC&S. In late October 2002, HC&S returned to full contract capacity of 16 MW. On January 23, 2001, MECO rescinded a December 27, 1999 PPA termination notice that it had sent to HC&S and agreed with HC&S that neither party would issue to the other a notice of termination prior to the end of 2002. On June 14, 2002, MECO and HC&S agreed that neither party will give written notice of termination under the terms of the PPA, such that the PPA terminates prior to December 31, 2007. As a result, the PPA remains in force and effect through December 31, 2007, and from year to year thereafter, subject to termination on or after December 31, 2007 on not less than two years’ prior written notice by either party.
