The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) First Hawaiian, Inc. and Subsidiaries 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of First Hawaiian, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries - First Hawaiian Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Pioneer Federal Savings Bank; First Hawaiian Creditcorp, Inc.; Pacific One Bank; ANB Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary; FHL Lease Holding Company, Inc.; and FHI International, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for 1996 have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated net income as previously reported. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which included only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. 2. ACCOUNTING CHANGES As of January 1, 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" which were not deferred by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125." These provisions specify the recognition and measurement of servicing assets and liabilities as well as financial assets subject to prepayment and did not have a significant impact to the Company's financial statements as of March 31, 1997. SFAS No. 127 defers the effective date of certain provisions of SFAS No. 125 until January 1, 1998. Management has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 127 to the Company's consolidated financial statements. In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (EPS) which improves the EPS information provided in financial statements by simplifying the existing computational guidelines and revising the disclosure requirements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods and earlier application is not permitted. The impact of this statement on the Company's current disclosures is not expected to be significant. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights." SFAS No. 122 amends SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," to require that mortgage banking enterprises recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others. SFAS No. 122 also requires that mortgage banking enterprises assess capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the fair value of those rights on a disaggregated basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. 3. IMPAIRED LOANS The following table summarizes impaired loan information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1997:
March 31, 1997 December 31, 1996 March 31, 1996 -------------- ----------------- -------------- (in thousands) Impaired loans $107,744 $128,446 $78,334 Impaired loans with related allowance for loan losses calculated under SFAS No. 114 $ 49,931 $ 35,517 $48,975 Total allowance on impaired loans $ 12,720 $ 9,690 $15,905 Average impaired loans $104,895 $ 87,289 $88,125 Interest income recorded during the period $ 199 $ 980 $ 214
Impaired loans without a related allowance for loan losses are generally collateralized by assets with fair values in excess of the recorded investment in the loans. Interest payments on impaired loans are applied to principal. 5 7 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) First Hawaiian, Inc. and Subsidiaries 4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On May 31, 1996, for a purchase price of $36 million, the Company acquired 31 branches in the States of Oregon, Washington and Idaho which were being divested by U.S. Bancorp and West One Bancorp as a result of their merger. This transaction included the purchase of loans of $400 million and the assumption of deposits of $687 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the results of operations were included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of acquisition. Of the 31 branches acquired by the Company, the 26 Oregon and Idaho branches are being operated as Pacific One Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The five branches acquired in the State of Washington were originally operated as branches of Pioneer Federal Savings Bank ("Pioneer"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (see current operations described below) under the name "Pacific One Bank, FSB." On July 31, 1996, for a purchase price of $18 million, the Company acquired ANB Financial Corporation ("ANB"), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, American National Bank, which had total loans of $51 million and total deposits of $67 million at the date of acquisition. American National Bank had a total of four branches located in the State of Washington. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the results of operations of ANB were included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of acquisition. On November 8, 1996, American National Bank changed its name to Pacific One Bank, N. A. and acquired the five branches in the State of Washington from Pioneer. Pacific One Bank, N.A. presently operates eight of the nine branches acquired in the State of Washington; the remaining branch was closed. Hereafter, the above acquisitions will be collectively referred to as the "Pacific Northwest Acquisitions." 6 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INCOME The Company recorded consolidated net income for the first quarter of 1997 of $20,516,000, an increase of $313,000, or 1.5%, over the first quarter of 1996. On a per share basis, consolidated net income for the first quarter of 1997 remained constant at $.65. The modest increase in consolidated net income reflects the slow pace of economic recovery in Hawaii and related weakness in the local real estate market. On an annualized basis, the Company's return on average total assets for the first three months of 1997 was 1.04%, a decrease of 6.3% compared to the same period in 1996, and return on average stockholders' equity was 11.72%, a decrease of 5.8% compared to the same period in 1996. The decreases in return on average total assets and return on average stockholders' equity were primarily due to increases in average total assets and average stockholders' equity of 8.8% and 8.6%, respectively, over the same period in 1996. The increase in average total assets and average stockholders' equity was primarily attributable to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions in mid-1996 and the issuance of stock related thereto. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $6,139,000, or 8.0%, to $82,745,000 for the first three months of 1997 from $76,606,000 for the same period in 1996. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a 10 basis point (1% equals 100 basis points) increase in the net interest margin. In addition, average earning assets for the first three months of 1997 increased $446,933,000, or 6.6%, over the same period in 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. The net interest margin was 4.68% for the first three months of 1997, an increase of 2.2% over the same period in 1996. The increase was due to an 8 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets and a 2 basis point decrease in the rate paid for sources of funds. The decrease in the rate paid for sources of funds reflected, among other things, increases in average interest and noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $443,375,000, or 22.7%, partially offset by an increase of $371,648,000, or 17.7%, in average time certificates of deposits. These increases were primarily attributable to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. Average earning assets increased by $446,933,000, or 6.6%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996. The increase in average earning assets for the first three months of 1997 over the first three months of 1996 was due to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions which increased average earning assets by $696,268,000. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, average earning assets for the first three months of 1997 decreased $249,335,000, or 3.7%, compared to the same period in 1996. This decrease was primarily due to reduced levels of state and local government funds requiring collateralization, a result of the continuing effect of the securitization of $461,449,000 of adjustable rate mortgage loans with the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") in 1995. The securities backed by these loans are held by the Company and were reclassified to the investment securities portfolio. Excluding the aforementioned Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, the investment securities portfolio decreased $187,739,000, or 16.6%, for the first three months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. The investment securities portfolio was allowed to run-off as securities matured since the securitized loans provided the necessary collateral for public deposits and reverse repurchase agreements. In addition, the increase in the overall yield of the investment securities portfolio for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996 was attributable to the upward repricing of the securitized loans and the purchase of higher yielding securities in the first quarter of 1997. Average loans increased by $626,977,000, or 12.0%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996, primarily due to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. Excluding the effect of the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, average loans for the first three months of 1997 increased 1.7% over the same period in 1996. Also, the mix of loans continues to change as the Company diversifies its loan portfolio, both geographically and by industry. These efforts have included the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions and credit extensions to companies in the media and telecommunications industry located on the mainland United States. 7 9 Average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities increased by $473,335,000, or 8.3%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996, primarily due to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions (including the issuance of $50 million of long-term subordinated debt during the second quarter of 1996 to fund the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions). Excluding the impact of the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities decreased $286,153,000, or 5.0%, in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996. The decrease reflected the repayment of short-term borrowings from proceeds received from the run-off of the investment securities portfolio. As a result of depositors seeking higher yields, the mix of average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities changed with higher-yielding average time deposits representing 40.2% of average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities for the first three months of 1997, as compared to 37.0% for the same period in 1996. 8 10 The following table sets forth the condensed consolidated average balance sheets, an analysis of interest income/expense and average yield/rate for each major category of earning assets and interest-bearing deposits and liabilities for the periods indicated on a taxable equivalent basis. The tax equivalent adjustment is made for items exempt from Federal income taxes (assuming a 35% tax rate for 1997 and 1996) to make them comparable with taxable items before any income taxes are applied.

The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets and accounts for the greatest portion of total interest income. At March 31, 1997, total loans were $5,947,296,000, representing increases of 2.4% and 14.2% from December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1996, respectively. The increase from March 31, 1996 was primarily due to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, total loans increased $181,450,000, or 3.5%, from March 31, 1996. Total loans at March 31, 1997, represented 73.5% of total assets, 83.0% of total earning assets and 100.0% of total deposits, compared to 72.6% of total assets, 82.0% of total earning assets and 97.8% of total deposits at December 31, 1996 and 70.1% of total assets, 79.0% of total earning assets and 98.5% of total deposits at March 31, 1996. Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At March 31, 1997, the Company did not have a concentration of loans greater than 10% of total loans which was not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans as shown in the above table. 11 13 NONPERFORMING ASSETS A summary of nonperforming assets at March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1996 follows:

- --------------- (1) Represents loans which are past due 90 days or more as to principal and interest and still accruing interest. 12 14 NONPERFORMING ASSETS, Continued Nonperforming assets increased from $97,982,000, or 1.68% of total loans and other real estate owned ("OREO") and 1.22% of total assets, at December 31, 1996 to $109,240,000, or 1.83% of total loans and OREO and 1.35% of total assets, at March 31, 1997. The increase in nonperforming assets of $11,258,000, or 11.5%, included an increase of $16,706,000 in restructured commercial real estate loans, which was principally due to the addition of a commercial real estate loan identified as a potential problem loan at December 31, 1996. Certain potential problem loans have been classified as nonperforming assets by management in connection with its review of the loan portfolio. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totalled $30,698,000 at March 31, 1997, an increase of $316,000, or 1.0%, over December 31, 1996. All of the loans which are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are in management's judgment adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. In recent years, the level of the Company's nonperforming assets and charge-offs has been affected by the impact of adverse economic conditions and trends in Hawaii. The first and most important of these adverse economic trends was the continuing weakness of the Hawaii economy's recovery from the 1992 recession. In contrast to the mainland economy, Hawaii's recovery from the recession continues to be slow and protracted; Hawaii continues to show weaknesses in its local real estate market, including declining values in the leasehold real estate sector. The second significant adverse economic trend was the nagging effect of Hurricane Iniki in September 1992. The island of Kauai has never totally recovered from the damage to resort, hotel and agricultural property and the extended insurance claim period that followed. These trends may continue to affect the level of nonperforming assets and related charge-offs in future periods. 13 15 DEPOSITS The following table sets forth the average balances and the average rates paid on deposits for the periods indicated:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, --------------------------------------------- 1997 1996 --------------------- --------------------- AVERAGE AVERAGE AVERAGE AVERAGE BALANCE RATE(1) BALANCE RATE (1) -------- ----- ---------- ------ (dollars in thousands) Interest-bearing demand $1,521,120 2.60% $1,125,142 2.60% Savings 994,716 2.15 1,163,995 2.13 Time 2,474,906 5.27 2,103,258 5.47 ---------- ---------- Total interest-bearing deposits 4,990,742 3.84 4,392,395 3.85 Noninterest-bearing demand 878,348 -- 830,951 -- ---------- ---------- Total deposits $5,869,090 3.26% $5,223,346 3.24% ========== ==========
Average interest-bearing deposits increased $598,347,000, or 13.6%, over the first quarter of 1996. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits was due primarily to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions and various deposit product programs initiated by the Company throughout 1996 and 1997. As a result of the aforementioned acquisitions and the demands of depositors seeking higher yields through the deposit product programs, the mix of average interest-bearing deposits changed, with higher yielding average time certificates of deposits representing 49.6% of average interest-bearing deposits in the first quarter of 1997, as compared to 47.9% in the same period in 1996. (1) Annualized. 14 16 PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The following table sets forth the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ----------------------------- 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- (dollars in thousands) Loans outstanding (end of period) $5,947,296 $5,206,288 ========== ========== Average loans outstanding $5,859,658 $5,232,681 ========== ========== Allowance for loan losses summary: Balance at beginning of period $ 85,248 $ 78,733 ---------- ---------- Loans charged off: Commercial, financial and agricultural 14 418 Real estate: Commercial 255 46 Construction 61 -- Residential 1,075 210 Consumer 3,075 2,462 Foreign 4 62 ---------- ---------- Total loans charged off 4,484 3,198 ---------- ---------- Recoveries on loans previously charged off: Commercial, financial and agricultural 48 80 Real estate: Commercial 12 1 Residential 15 53 Consumer 534 584 Lease financing 4 2 Foreign 7 8 ---------- ---------- Total recoveries on loans previously charged off 620 728 ---------- ---------- Net charge-offs 3,864 2,470 Provision for loan losses 3,752 3,322 ---------- ---------- Balance at end of period $ 85,136 $ 79,585 ========== ========== Net loans charged off to average loans .27%(1) .19%(1) Net loans charged off to allowance for loan losses 18.41%(1) 12.48%(1) Allowance for loan losses to total loans (end of period) 1.43% 1.52% Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans (end of period): Excluding 90 days past due accruing loans 1.00x 1.03x Including 90 days past due accruing loans .73X .80x
- --------------- (1) Annualized. 15 17 PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES, Continued For the first three months of 1997, the provision for loan losses was $3,752,000, an increase of $430,000, or 12.9%, over the same period in 1996. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions. Net charge-offs for the first three months of 1997 were $3,864,000, an increase of $1,394,000, or 56.4%, over the same period in 1996. The increase in net charge-offs was primarily due to increased charge-offs in all categories of consumer loans, which include direct loans, indirect dealer loans and credit cards and increased charge-offs in first mortgages and home equity lines. Smaller balance homogeneous credit card and consumer loans are charged off at a predetermined delinquency status or earlier if the Company determines that the loan is uncollectable. The allowance for loan losses decreased to 100% of nonperforming loans at March 31, 1997 (excluding 90 days past due accruing loans) from 118% at December 31, 1996, reflecting the increase in nonperforming loans in the first three months of 1997. In management's judgment, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential losses currently inherent in the portfolio at March 31, 1997. However, changes in prevailing economic conditions in the Company's markets could result in changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs in the future and, accordingly, changes in the allowance for loan losses. NONINTEREST INCOME Excluding securities transactions, noninterest income for the first three months of 1997 totalled $28,021,000, an increase of $4,073,000, or 17.0%, over the same period in the prior year. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions and securities transactions, noninterest income for the first three months of 1997 increased $2,191,000, or 9.1%, over the same period in 1996. Trust and investment services income increased $258,000, or 4.0%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $811,000, or 13.5%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, service charges on deposit accounts remained relatively constant for the first three months of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Other service charges and fees increased $1,911,000, or 19.5%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, other service charges and fees increased $985,000, or 10.0%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996 primarily due to: (1) higher merchant discount fees; (2) increased income earned from annuity and mutual fund sales; and (3) increased mortgage servicing fees for mortgage loans that were originated and sold with servicing retained. Other noninterest income increased $1,093,000, or 66.3%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, other noninterest income increased $927,000, or 56.3%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996. The increase was primarily due to increases in foreclosed property income. 16 18 NONINTEREST EXPENSES Noninterest expenses totalled $77,175,000 for the first three months of 1997, which represented an increase of 14.5% over the same period a year ago. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, noninterest expenses increased $2,310,000, or 3.4%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996. Total personnel expenses (salaries and wages and employee benefits) increased $4,038,000, or 12.1%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, personnel expenses decreased $413,000, or 1.2%, for the first three months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. Occupancy expense for the first three months of 1997 increased $4,180,000, or 64.9%, over the same period in 1996. The increase was primarily due to the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions and costs associated with the relocation into the new administrative headquarters building (including related amortization of previously capitalized expenses during the construction period). Equipment expense increased $605,000, or 11.0%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996. Excluding the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, equipment expense increased $235,000, or 4.3%, for the first three months of 1997 over the same period in 1996. The increase was a result of higher service contract expenses in 1997. Excluding a pre-tax loss of $1,945,000 (which actually resulted in an after-tax gain of $399,000 due to a net tax benefit of $2,344,000 recognized through reversal of the related tax liabilities) recognized on the sale of a certain leveraged lease in the first quarter of 1996 and the Pacific Northwest Acquisitions, other noninterest expenses for the first three months increased $726,000, or 3.6%, over the same period in 1996. The increase was primarily due to higher interchange settlement fees, outside services, legal fees (primarily related to foreclosed property), a loss on the sale of a certain loan and a loss on the sale of certain real estate. This increase was partially offset by: (1) nonrecurring losses incurred in connection with a certain credit card fraud in the first quarter of 1996; (2) lower foreclosed property expenses; and (3) an increase in the cash surrender value of certain executive life insurance policies (recorded as a credit to insurance expense) in 1997. 17 19 INCOME TAXES The Company's effective income tax rate (exclusive of the tax equivalent adjustment) for the first three months of 1997 was 30.7% as compared to 31.0% for the same period in 1996. Although the effective income tax rate remained relatively constant, the rate for the first quarter of 1997 was positively impacted by (i) an income tax benefit resulting from the partial recognition of previously unrecognized tax credits and (ii) partial reversal of an overaccrual of State of Hawaii income taxes. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1996 was positively impacted by the reversal of deferred tax liabilities (reflecting a change in Hawaii tax laws) related to the aforementioned leveraged lease sale in 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL Stockholders' equity was $715,652,000 at March 31, 1997, a 1.4% increase over $705,884,000 at December 31, 1996. The ratio of average stockholders' equity to average total assets remained unchanged at 8.9% for the first quarter of 1997 and 1996. There was no significant change in the Company's liquidity position during the first quarter of 1997. The following tables present the Company's regulatory capital position at March 31, 1997: RISK-BASED CAPITAL RATIOS
