MAUI LAND & PINEAPPLE COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed
financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments
necessary to present a fair statement of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

2. The Company's reports for interim periods utilize numerous
estimates of production cost, general and administrative
expenses, and other costs for the full year. Consequently,
amounts in the interim reports are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full year.

3. The effective tax rate for 2001 and 2000 differs from the
statutory federal rate of 34% primarily because of the state tax
provision and refundable state tax credits.

4. Accounts and notes receivable are reflected net of allowance
for doubtful accounts of $965,000 and $1,028,000 at March 31,
2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

current ratio required by two equipment loans totaling $2.9
million. The violations were subsequently waived by the lenders.

8. Average common shares outstanding for the interim periods
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were 7,195,800.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated
The Company reported consolidated net income of $779,000 for the
first quarter of 2001 compared to $1,945,000 for the first
quarter of 2000. The reduction in net income is principally
attributable to lower earnings contributions from the Company's
Pineapple and Resort operations and to increased interest
expense. Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2001
were $38.7 million, an increase of 11% from the first quarter of
2000.

General and administrative expenses were 22% higher in the first
quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000. These
expenses were higher in 2001 primarily due to increases in
pension expense because of lower investment returns in 2000,
medical insurance, outside consultant costs and salaries.

Interest expense was $872,000 for the first quarter of 2001
compared to $468,000 for the first quarter of 2000. The increase
in interest expense was primarily due to total debt at December
31, 2000 being $16 million higher than year-end 1999, thereby
resulting in a higher average level of borrowings in the first
quarter of 2001. In addition, capitalized interest was higher in
the first quarter of 2000 as a result of construction activity at
the Resort. Average interest rates were also fractionally higher
in the first quarter 2001 compared to first quarter 2000.

Pineapple
The Pineapple segment incurred an operating loss of $967,000 for
the first quarter of 2001 compared to an operating loss of
$266,000 for the first quarter of 2000. Revenues from Pineapple
operations were $21.1 million for the first quarter of 2001 or
26% higher than the first quarter of 2000. Higher revenues for
2001 reflect increased case sales volume as a result of
promotional activity and higher average sales prices due to the
mix of products sold. The increased operating loss for the first
quarter of 2001 was due to increases in production costs as well
as higher shipping, general and administrative and marketing
expenses.

The case volume of imports of canned pineapple products for the
first two months of 2001 decreased as compared to the same period
in 2000. The average unit value of imports from certain
countries, however, declined significantly and has resulted in
continued downward pressure on pricing for canned pineapple
products.

In April 2001, the Department of Commerce released preliminary
results of the fifth annual administrative review of antidumping
duties on pineapple imports from Thailand covering the period
from July 1, 1999 to June 30, 2000. Based on these results, two
of the eight Thai pineapple companies reviewed will be assessed
higher duties and six of the companies will have reductions in
the duties currently being assessed.

On April 25, 2001, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)
announced its unanimous decision that the existing antidumping
duty on imports of canned pineapple fruit from Thailand will
remain in place. Pursuant to its investigation under the five-
year "Sunset Review," the ITC determined that revocation of the
antidumping duty order would likely result in continuation or
recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry.

Resort
The Company's Kapalua Resort segment produced an operating profit
of $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2001 compared to $4.1
million for the first quarter of 2000. Revenues generated by
Resort operations for the first quarter of 2001 were $16.3
million or 3% lower than the first quarter of 2000. The
reduction in revenues and operating profit for the first quarter
of 2001 is largely the result of lower sales of real estate. In
March 2001, the Company began construction of the subdivision
improvements for Pineapple Hill Estates. Sales of these lots
began in December 2000 and revenues on the 17 sales that closed
through the end of first quarter 2001 were recognized on the
percentage-of-completion method. In the first quarter of 2000,
the Company recognized sales of lots at the Plantation Estates
Phase II subdivision also using the percentage-of-completion
method. Profits recognized on the sales of lots at Plantation
Estates Phase II during the first quarter of 2000 exceeded the
profits recognized on Pineapple Hill Estates during the first
quarter of 2001.

Revenues from merchandise sales at the Resort increased in 2001
primarily due to the opening of the new Village Clubhouse in
August 2000, adding approximately 1400 square feet of retail
space. Revenues from the Resort golf operations increased in
2001 as a result of higher average green fees; paid rounds of
golf declined in the first quarter of 2001 compared to a year
earlier. Revenues from the Kapalua Villas also increased in the
first quarter of 2001 as a result of rate increases. Guest room
occupancy at Kapalua Resort was lower in the first quarter 2001
compared to the first quarter of 2000.

Commercial & Property
The Commercial & Property segment reported an operating profit of
$26,000 for the first quarter of 2001 compared to an operating
loss of $38,000 for the first quarter of 2000. Revenues from
this segment were $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2001,
slightly higher than the first quarter of 2000. The improved
results from this segment were primarily due to a lease
cancellation fee received in the first quarter of 2001 from a
tenant at Queen Kaahumanu Center and from improved recovery of
tenant expenses.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER

At March 31, 2001, total debt, including capital leases, was
$46.4 million, an increase of $1.9 million from year-end 2000.
The Company expects that the debt level will be reduced in the
third quarter of 2001 when the distribution of net proceeds from
Kapalua Coconut Grove LLC is estimated to take place. Unused
short- and long-term borrowing commitments totaled $4.9 million
at the end of first quarter 2001. These credit facilities and
cash flows from operating activities are expected to be
sufficient to finance the Company's 2001 cash requirements.

Consolidated expenditures in 2001 for fixed assets and deferred
development costs are expected to total $17.6 million. This
amount includes approximately $8 million for the replacement of
equipment and facilities for the Company's Pineapple and Resort
operations. The Company expects that some of these expenditures
will be financed with capital leases. In addition to these
expenditures, the Company has commitments of approximately $7.9
million remaining for the completion of the subdivision
improvements for Pineapple Hill Estates.

At March 31, 2001, the Company was in violation of the minimum
current ratio requirement for two equipment loans totaling $2.9
million. The lenders subsequently waived the violation with
respect to March 31, 2001. The Company believes that the
conditions causing the violation are temporary. A major factor
causing the violation was deferred revenues totaling $8.3 million
that were included in current liabilities at March 31, 2001. The
deferred revenues represent proceeds from closed sales at
Pineapple Hill Estates, which are being recognized on the
percentage-of-completion method as construction of the
improvements take place. Construction of this 31-lot subdivision
began in March 2001 and is estimated to be substantially complete
in September 2001.

This report contains forward-looking statements, within the
meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as
to the Company's expectations regarding the adequacy of credit
facilities and cash flows from operating activities; the
completion of The Coconut Grove on Kapalua Bay and the
distribution of proceeds from the joint venture; and completion
of subdivision improvements at Pineapple Hill Estates. Forward-
looking statements contained in this report or otherwise made by
the Company are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, those risks and uncertainties as
disclosed in the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders and
Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk

The Company's primary market risk exposure with regard to
financial instruments is to changes in interest rates. The
Company manages this risk by monitoring interest rates and future
cash requirements, and evaluating opportunities to refinance
borrowings at various maturities and interest rates. There were
no material changes to the Company's market risk exposure during
the first three months of 2001.


PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On April 5, 2001, the Company filed a lawsuit against Del Monte
Fresh Produce Company, Del Monte Fresh Produce (N.A.), and Del
Monte Fresh Produce (Hawaii), Inc. (collectively, Del Monte
Fresh), Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd., et al. v. Del Monte Fresh
Produce (Hawaii), Inc., et al. Civil No. 01-1-0173(1), (Circuit
Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaii). Del Monte Fresh
is one of the Company's principal competitors in the fresh
pineapple products business. In this lawsuit, the Company
maintains that it co-owns and has the right to grow, develop,
market, license and otherwise use two hybrid pineapple varieties
that were jointly developed by the Company and the predecessor of
Del Monte Fresh through the Pineapple Research Institute of
Hawaii. The first hybrid, which the Company refers to as "73-50"
and which Del Monte Fresh refers to as "CO-2" is marketed by the
Company under its "Hawaiian Gold" registered trademark. The
second hybrid, which the Company refers to as "73-114" and which
Del Monte Fresh refers to as "MD-2" is marketed by the Company
outside the United States under its "Royal Coast" label and is
marketed by Del Monte Fresh as "Del Monte Gold - Extra-Sweet
Pineapple". Del Monte Fresh disputes the Company's co-ownership
of and rights to these hybrids. In the lawsuit, the Company
seeks declaratory relief regarding its co-ownership and rights as
well as monetary damages, restitution, injunctive relief, legal
fees and costs and punitive damages. The defendants have yet to
file their initial responses in the lawsuit and discovery has not
commenced.

On April 12, 2001, the Company filed a separate lawsuit against
Del Monte Fresh as well as Fresh Del Monte Produce, Inc. and Del
Monte Corporation, Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd., et al. v. Del
Monte Corporation, et al., Case No: C 01-01449 CRB, in the United
States District Court For the Northern District of California
(San Francisco Division). In this lawsuit, the Company maintains
that the defendants have, in their marketing of pineapple and
other fruit and vegetable products, infringed on and diluted the
Company's "Hawaiian Gold" trademark in violation of the federal
Lanham Act and state and common law prohibitions on unfair
competition, dilution, and trademark and advertising
infringement. The Company seeks preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief, compensatory damages, restitution, attorney's
fees, legal costs, treble damages and punitive damages. The
defendants have yet to file their initial responses in this
lawsuit and discovery has not commenced.
