PART I
Item 1. Business
(a) General
Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. is a Hawaii corporation,
the successor to a business organized in 1909. The Company
consists of a land-holding and operating parent company as well as
its principal wholly-owned subsidiaries, Maui Pineapple Company,
Ltd., Kapalua Land Company, Ltd., Kapalua Investment Corp., Kapalua
Waste Treatment Company, Ltd., Kapalua Water Company, Ltd. and
Honolua Plantation Land Company, Inc. The major operating
subsidiaries are Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Land
Company, Ltd. The Company, as used herein, refers to the parent
and all of its subsidiaries.
The Company also participates in joint ventures which are
accounted for by the equity method. The most significant of these
ventures are Kaahumanu Center Associates, owner and operator of a
regional shopping center, and Plantation Club Associates, developer
of residential lots.
The industry segments of the Company are as follows:
(1) Pineapple - includes growing pineapple, canning
pineapple in tinplated steel containers fabricated
by the Company, and marketing canned pineapple
products and fresh whole and cut pineapple.
(2) Resort - includes the development and sale of
resort real estate, property management and the
operation of recreational and retail facilities and
utility companies at Kapalua, Maui. It also
includes the Company's investment in Plantation Club
Associates and (through 1995) Kaptel Associates.
(3) Commercial & Property - includes Kaahumanu
Center (investment in Kaahumanu Center Associates,
effective May 1, 1995), the Napili Plaza shopping
center, and non-resort rentals and land sales. It
also includes the Company's land entitlement and
management activities.

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments
The information set forth under Note 15 to Consolidated -
Financial Statements on page 18 of the Maui Land & Pineapple
Company, Inc. 1996 Annual Report is incorporated herein by
reference.

(c) Narrative Description of Business
(1) Pineapple
Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. is the operating subsidiary
for the Company's Pineapple segment. It owns and operates
fully-integrated facilities for the production of pineapple
products.
Pineapple is cultivated on two company-operated
plantations on Maui which provided approximately 80% of the
fruit processed in 1996. The balance of fruit processed was
purchased from independent Maui growers. Two pineapple crops
are normally harvested from each new planting. The first, or
plant crop, is harvested approximately 18 to 23 months after
planting, and the second, or ratoon crop, is harvested 12 to
14 months later.
Harvested pineapple is processed at the Company's cannery
in Kahului, Maui, where a full line of canned pineapple
products is produced, including solid pineapple in various
grades and styles, juice, and juice concentrates. The cannery
operates most of the year; however, over 50% of production
volume takes place during June, July and August. The metal
containers used in canning pineapple are produced in the
Company-owned can plant on Maui. The metal is imported from
manufacturers in Japan. A warehouse is maintained at the
cannery site for inventory purposes.
The Company sells canned pineapple products as store-
brand pineapple with 100% HAWAIIAN U.S.A.TM stamped on the can
lid. Its products are sold principally to large grocery
chains, other food processors, wholesale grocers, and to
organizations offering a complete buyers' brand program to
affiliated chains and wholesalers serving both retail and food
service outlets. A substantial volume of its pineapple
products is marketed through food brokers. The Company also
sells fresh whole pineapple to retail and wholesale grocers in
Hawaii and the continental United States. In 1996 the Company
sold fresh cut pineapple to customers in Hawaii and plans to
expand this market to other areas in the United States. In
1996, approximately 20 domestic customers accounted for about
49% of pineapple sales.
Export sales, primarily to Japan, Canada and Western
Europe, amounted to approximately 5.7%, 7.1% and 6.2% of total
pineapple sales in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Sales
to the U.S. government amounted to approximately 12.5%, 13.1%
and 11.8% of total pineapple sales in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The Company's pineapple sales office is in
Concord, California.
As a service to its customers, the Company maintains
inventories of its products in public warehouses in the
continental United States. The balance of its products are
shipped directly from Hawaii to its customers. The Company's
canned pineapple products are shipped from Hawaii by ocean
transportation. They are then taken by truck or rail to
customers or to public warehouses. Fresh pineapple is shipped
by air.
The Company sells its products in competition with both
foreign and U.S. companies. Its principal competitors are two
U.S. companies, Dole Food Company, Inc. and Del Monte Food
Co., which produce substantial quantities of pineapple
products, a significant portion of which is produced in the
Philippines. Producers of pineapple products in other foreign
countries (particularly Thailand) are also a major source of
competition. Foreign production has the advantage of lower
labor costs. The Company's principal marketing advantage is
the high quality of its products. Other canned fruits and
fruit juices are also a source of competition. Generally, the
price of the Company's products is influenced by supply and
demand of pineapple and other fruits and juices. See also
Part I, Item 3. (A) of this report.
See also Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results
of Operations and Financial Condition.

(2) Resort
Kapalua resort is a master-planned golf resort community
on Maui's northwest coast. The property encompasses 1,650
acres bordering the ocean with three white sand beaches, and
includes two hotels, 528 condominium units, seven residential
subdivisions, three championship golf courses, two ten-court
tennis facilities, a 22,000 square foot commercial shopping
center and over ten restaurants. Water and waste transmission
utilities are also included in the development.
Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. is the primary developing and
operating subsidiary of the Company's resort segment.
Approximately 766 acres are available for further development
within the Kapalua Resort.
The Company, through subsidiaries and joint ventures,
developed the Kapalua resort, which opened in 1975 with the
Bay Course. The Company continues its ownership of three golf
courses (The Bay, The Village and The Plantation Courses), one
tennis facility (The Tennis Garden), the shopping center
(Kapalua Shops), the land under both hotels (The Ritz-Carlton
Kapalua Hotel and The Kapalua Bay Hotel), as well as various
on-site administrative and maintenance facilities.
The Company operates the golf and tennis facilities, the
commercial shopping center, nine retail shops, a short-term
rental program (The Kapalua Villas), and certain services to
the resort including shuttle, security and maintenance of
common areas. Kapalua Land Company receives rental income
from the lease of the land under the hotels, restaurants, and
certain other properties. The Kapalua Club, a membership
program for the resort's property owners, is managed by the
Company.
The following additional wholly-owned subsidiaries of
the Company are included in the Resort segment: Kapalua Water
Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Waste Treatment Company, Ltd.,
public utilities providing water and waste transmission
services for the Kapalua resort; Kapalua Advertising Company,
Ltd., an in-house advertising agency; Kapalua Investment
Corp., an investment holding company; and Kapalua Realty
Company, Ltd. (wholly-owned by Kapalua Land Company, Ltd.) a
general brokerage real estate company located within the
resort.
Joint ventures have enabled Kapalua to proceed with some
development projects. Plantation Club Associates is an
unincorporated joint venture between Kapalua Land Company,
Ltd. and Rolfing Partners. It was formed in 1988 to finance
and develop The Plantation at Kapalua, comprised of an 18-hole
golf course (The Plantation Course) and two residential
development projects (Plantation Estates Phase I and II).
Three lots in Plantation Estates Phase I and allocated
planning and off-site costs related to Plantation Estates
Phase II remain in inventory as of December 31, 1996. See Note
3 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Kapalua Investment Corp. (KIC) was a general partner in
Kaptel Associates, the partnership that owned The Ritz-Carlton
Kapalua Hotel. In October of 1995, KIC transferred its 25%
interest in Kaptel to the major general partner, NI Hawaii
Resorts, Inc. See Note 3 to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The Kapalua resort faces substantial competition from
alternative visitor destinations throughout the world.
Kapalua's total room inventory accounts for approximately 11%
of the units available in West Maui, and approximately 6% of
the total inventory on Maui. Kapalua's marketing strategies
continue to target upscale visitors with a focus on golf.
Major marketing promotions concentrate on positioning Kapalua
prominently in the market place, most significantly through
the nationally televised PGA TOUR post-season event, the
Lincoln-Mercury Kapalua International. Lincoln-Mercury has
agreed to continue sponsorship of this event through 1998.
Advertising placements in key publications are also designed
to promote Kapalua through the travel trade, consumer, golf
and real estate media.
See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition.

(3) Commercial & Property
Kaahumanu Center is the largest retail center on Maui
with a gross leasable area (GLA) of approximately 573,000
square feet. On December 31, 1996, 95% of the available GLA
was occupied by 120 tenants. Kaahumanu Center faces
substantial competition from other retail centers in Kahului
and in other areas of Maui. The Kahului area has approximately
1.6 million square feet of retail space in use or under
construction. The Center's primary competitor is the Maui
Mall which is located within one mile of Kaahumanu Center.
Additional competition can be expected from a shopping center
presently under construction.
In June of 1993 Kaahumanu Center Associates (KCA) was
formed to finance the expansion and renovation of and to own
and operate the Kaahumanu Center. The expansion and
renovation, which was completed in November of 1994, expanded
the Center from approximately 315,000 to 573,000 square feet
of GLA. KCA is a partnership between the Company, as general
partner, and the Employees' Retirement System of the State of
Hawaii (ERS), as a limited partner. Effective April 30, 1995,
the Company and ERS each have a 50% ownership interest in KCA.
Prior to that, the ownership interests were 99% for the
Company and 1% for ERS.
Napili Plaza is a 44,000 square foot retail and
commercial office center located in West Maui. As of December
31, 1996, 80% of the GLA was occupied by 19 tenants. Napili
Plaza faces competition from several other retail locations in
the Napili area which have approximately 201,000 total square
feet of retail area.
The Company's land entitlement and management activities
are included in the Commercial & Property segment. Land
entitlement is a process of obtaining the required county,
state and federal approvals to proceed with the planned
development and use of a parcel of land. It requires meeting
all of the conditions and restrictions which are mandated
prior to such governmental approvals. The Company actively
works with regulatory agencies and legislative bodies at all
levels of government to obtain the necessary land zoning
classifications.
See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition.

(4) Employees
In 1996 the Company employed approximately 2,160
employees. Pineapple operations employed approximately 600
full-time and 1,040 seasonal or intermittent employees, of
which approximately 47% were covered by collective bargaining
agreements. Resort operations employed approximately 400
employees. Approximately 12% are part-time employees and
approximately 24% were covered by collective bargaining
agreements. The Company's Commercial & Property operations
employed approximately 80 employees, and the balance of the
employees were engaged in administrative activities.

(5) Other Information
The Company engages in continuous research to develop
techniques to reduce costs through crop production and
processing innovations and to develop and perfect new
products. Improved production systems have resulted in
increased productivity by the labor force. Research and
development expenses approximated $489,000 in 1996, $410,000
in 1995 and $375,000 in 1994.
The Company has reviewed its compliance with Federal,
State and local provisions which regulate the discharge of
materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment. With regard to prior
operations, the Company does not expect any material future
financial impact as a result of compliance with these laws.
The Company's method of disposing of pineapple processing
waste water utilizes underground injection wells. The
Company's capital expenditure budget for 1997 includes $1.7
million for the completion of a system which will replace the
existing system and comply with current Federal and State
environmental laws. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had
incurred approximately $900,000 on this project, which is
expected to be completed by May of 1997.

(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic
Operations and Export Sales.
Export sales only arise in the pineapple company. Export
sales of pineapple products are primarily to Japan, Western
Europe and Canada. For the last three years these sales did
not exceed 10% of total consolidated revenues. See Note 15 to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2. PROPERTIES
The Company owns approximately 28,600 acres of land on
Maui. Approximately 8,100 acres are used directly or
indirectly in the Company's operations, and the remaining land
is primarily in pasture or forest reserve. This land, most of
which was acquired from 1911 to 1932, is carried on the
Company's balance sheet at cost. The Company believes it has
clear and unencumbered marketable title to all of the
preceding property except for the following:
(1) a mortgage on the fee and leasehold interest in the 36-
acre Ritz-Carlton Kapalua Hotel site, which secures a loan to
the ground lessee for up to $65 million (See Note 3 to
Consolidated Financial Statements);
(2) a perpetual conservation easement granted to the State of
Hawaii on a 13-acre parcel at Kapalua;
(3) certain easements and rights-of-way that do not
materially affect the Company's use of such property;
(4) a mortgage on the three golf courses at Kapalua, which
secures the Company's $15 million revolving credit
arrangement;
(5) a permanent conservation easement granted to The Nature
Conservancy of Hawaii, a non-profit corporation, covering
approximately 8,600 acres of forest reserve land;
(6) a $5,000,000 mortgage on the fee interest in Napili
Plaza shopping center; and
(7) a small percentage of the Company's land in various
locations on which multiple claims exist and for which the
Company has initiated quiet title actions.
Approximately 22,400 acres of the Company's land are
located in West Maui, approximately 6,200 acres are located at
its Haliimaile plantation in central Maui, and approximately
28 acres are located in Kahului, Maui.
The 22,400 acres in West Maui comprise a largely
contiguous parcel which extends from the sea to an elevation
of approximately 5,700 feet and includes nine miles of ocean
frontage with approximately 3,300 lineal feet along sandy
beaches, as well as agricultural and grazing lands, gulches
and heavily forested areas. The Haliimaile property is
situated at elevations between 1,000 and 3,000 feet above sea
level on the slopes of Haleakala.
Approximately 6,400 acres of Company-owned land are used
directly or indirectly in the pineapple operations and
approximately 1,650 acres are designated for the Kapalua
resort. The Kahului acreage includes offices, a can
manufacturing plant and pineapple processing cannery with
interconnected warehouses at the cannery site where finished
product is stored.
Approximately 3,000 acres of leased land are used in the
Company's pineapple operations. A major operating lease
covers approximately 1,500 acres of land and expires on
December 31, 1999. The balance of the leased property is
covered by eleven leases expiring variously through 2012. The
aggregate land rental for these leases was $415,000 in 1996.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
A. Antidumping Petition.
In June of 1994, Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd. and the
International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union filed an
antidumping petition with the U. S. International Trade
Commission and the U.S. Department of Commerce. The petition
alleged that Thai producers of canned pineapple were violating
U.S. and international trade laws by selling their products in
the United States at less than fair value, and that such sales
were causing injury to the U.S. industry producing canned
pineapple.
On May 30, 1995, the U.S. Department of Commerce
completed its portion of the investigation, concluding that
imports of canned pineapple from Thailand were being sold in
the United States at less than fair value. Thai producers
investigated included Dole Thailand, Ltd., The Thai Pineapple
Public Co., Ltd., Siam Agro Industry Pineapple and Others Co.,
Ltd., and Malee Sampran Factory Public Co., Ltd.
On June 30, 1995, the U.S. International Trade Commission
announced its unanimous determination that the domestic
industry producing canned pineapple was materially injured by
reason of the unfair imports of canned pineapple from
Thailand. As a result of the affirmative findings of both the
U.S. Department of Commerce and U. S. International Trade
Commission, antidumping duties were imposed on all imports of
canned pineapple fruit from Thailand into the United States,
with cash duty deposits ranging from 2% to 51%.
The Thai respondents appealed the dumping calculations of
the Department of Commerce to the U.S. Court of International
Trade. Maui Pineapple filed a cross appeal concerning one
element of the Department's determination. On November 8,
1996, the United States Court of International Trade announced
its decision regarding appeals filed by the Thai respondents.
The Court remanded certain issues back to the Department of
Commerce for recalculation. In one of the issues, the Court
ruled that the Department of Commerce's reliance on the Thai
pineapple companies' normal accounting records (their
allocation ratio between juice and solid pack) was
inconsistent with a higher court's previous ruling. The
Company strongly disagrees with the Court's decision on this
issue, which could substantially reduce the duties being
imposed, and is preparing to appeal the case to the Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The appeal process is
expected to take between 12 to 18 months. During this time,
duties at the rates originally determined by the Commerce
Department will continue to be imposed on canned pineapple
imported into the United States from Thailand.
B. Arosi Litigation.
On July 10, 1996, Arosi Hawaii, Inc. ("Arosi") filed a
complaint against Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. ("MLP")
and two of its officers, Don Young and Paul J. Meyer, entitled
Arosi Hawaii, Inc. v. Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc., et
al., Civil No. 96-0871(1) (Circuit Court of the Second
Circuit, State of Hawaii). The complaint alleges that MLP's
exercise of a contractual first refusal right tortiously
interfered with Arosi's attempt to purchase the Kapalua Bay
Hotel and Villas. Arosi had entered into an agreement to
purchase the hotel from KBH Operations Limited Partnership
("KBH"). That agreement expressly acknowledged MLP's
preexisting first refusal right and provided that the proposed
purchase was subject to such right. The agreement also
provided that Arosi could either hold the purchase in suspense
or terminate the agreement and receive its escrow deposit back
in the event that MLP exercised its first refusal right. MLP
exercised its contractual first refusal right. Arosi then
voluntarily terminated its agreement with KBH and recovered
its escrow deposit. Thereafter, KBH filed a Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceeding, during which KBH explained that it
filed for bankruptcy to permit the sale of the hotel without
further dispute with MLP concerning its exercise of the first
refusal right. The hotel was sold to a third party pursuant
to a bankruptcy court order and stipulations among KBH, MLP
and other parties. After closing the sale of the hotel, KBH
dismissed the bankruptcy case. Arosi filed the complaint
against MLP and two of its officers shortly after agreement
was reached on the sale of the hotel and the related
stipulations. Arosi did not assert a right to purchase the
hotel during the bankruptcy proceeding. Management believes
that Arosi's complaint is without merit and intends to defend
the lawsuit vigorously. The litigation is still in its
preliminary stages.
