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 and results of operations for the interim
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

2. The Company's reports for interim periods utilize numerous
estimates of production, 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 1996 and 1995 differs from the
statutory federal rate of 34% primarily because of the state
tax provision and refundable state tax credits.

4. On October 31, 1995, the partners of Kaptel Associates,
which owns The Ritz-Carlton Kapalua Hotel, concluded an
agreement to dissolve the partnership. Effective October
31, 1995, the Company and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company
transferred their respective 25% interests in the
partnership to the remaining partner, NI Hawaii Resorts,
Inc. Because of the dissolution agreement, the Company's
equity in the losses of Kaptel Associates recorded through
June 30, 1995 were reversed in the third quarter of 1995.
The reversal of these losses are reflected as decreases in
costs and expenses of $8.9 million and $5 million,
respectively, for the third quarter and the first nine
months of 1995.

5. Effective April 30, 1995, the Employees' Retirement System
of the State of Hawaii (ERS) converted its $30.6 million
loan to an additional 49% ownership in Kaahumanu Center
Associates (KCA). After the conversion, the Company no
longer consolidated KCA, but accounted for its investment in
KCA by the equity method. This resulted in a decrease in
the Company's consolidated assets and consolidated debt of
approximately $76 million.

6. The entire $20 million outstanding under the $22 million
revolving credit agreement has been reflected as a current
liability because maturity is currently scheduled for
June 30, 1997. The Company anticipates extending and
modifying the terms of this facility (see page 12).











7. Inventories as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995
were as follows (in thousands):

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated

Consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 was $662,000 compared to $254,000 for the same period in 1995.

For the third quarter of 1996, net income was $518,000 compared to
$4.3 million for the third quarter of 1995.

Net income for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995
includes $5.7 million ($8.9 million before income taxes) and $3.2
million ($5 million before income taxes) of income attributable to
the reversal of the Company's equity in losses of Kaptel
Associates. These losses were reversed in the third quarter of
1995 because the Company disposed of its partnership interest in
Kaptel in October 1995 (see Note 4 to Condensed Financial
Statements).

Interest expense for the first nine months and for the third
quarter of 1996 was lower by 55% and 18%, respectively, than the
same periods in 1995. The decreases resulted from lower average
borrowings and the change in accounting for Kaahumanu Center
Associates effective as of April 30, 1995 (see Note 5 to Condensed
Financial Statements).

General and administrative expenses decreased by 7% for the first
nine months of 1996 compared to the first nine months of 1995. For
the third quarter of 1996 these expenses increased by less than 1%
compared to last year's third quarter. The decrease for the nine
month period was largely a result of the change in accounting for
Kaahumanu Center Associates effective as of April 30, 1995 (see
Note 5 to Condensed Financial Statements).


Pineapple

The Company's Pineapple segment contributed revenue of $66.4
million in the first nine months of 1996 compared to $57.4 million
in the same period for 1995. Operating profits for the first nine
months of 1996 were $4.1 million compared to an operating loss of
$1.8 million for the first nine months of 1995.

Higher average prices per case of canned pineapple sold accounted
for 58% of the $8.9 million net revenue increase and higher case
volume of sales accounted for 52% of that increase. Partially
offsetting the increase in average prices and volume were decreases
totaling 10% attributable to sales mix and fresh fruit sales.
Pineapple costs and expenses increased primarily as a result of the
higher volume of cases sold.


Pineapple operations contributed revenue of $27.7 million in the
third quarter of 1996 compared to $25 million in the third quarter
of 1995. Operating profit for the third quarter of 1996 was $2.5
million compared to an operating loss of $628,000 for last year's
third quarter. Approximately 83% of the $2.7 million net revenue
increase was due to improved prices. Other fluctuations in revenues
and costs and expenses were similar to the nine month periods.


Resort

The Company's Resort segment provided revenues of $25.1 million for
the first nine months of 1996 compared to $23.8 million for the
first nine months of 1995. Resort operating profits for the first
nine months of 1996 were $2.7 million compared to $7.4 million for
the nine month period in 1995. Operating profits for 1995 includes
income of $5 million representing the reversal of the Company's
equity in losses of Kaptel Associates (see Note 4 to Condensed
Financial Statements). Excluding the effect of this adjustment,
Resort operating profits improved by approximately $300,000 for the
first nine months of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.
These improved operating results from the Resort ongoing operations
was principally attributable to higher occupancies at the Kapalua
resort.

Merchandise sales accounted for 38% of the $1.2 million net revenue
increase. Approved rate increases for the Company's water and sewer
utilities accounted for 45%, the Kapalua villa rentals were
responsible for 35% of the increase, and other operations (net)
provided 19% of the increase. Reductions in lease revenues
primarily because of the revised ground lease on the Ritz-Carlton
Kapalua offset these increases by approximately 37%. Marketing
expenses increased because of two major advertising initiatives
which began in 1996. Other cost and expense increases for the first
nine months of 1996 compared to 1995 were largely commensurate with
the increase in revenues.

For the third quarter of 1996 the Resort segment contributed
revenues of $8 million compared to $7.7 million for the third
quarter of 1995. Resort operating profits were $546,000 for the
third quarter of 1996 compared to $9.2 million for last year's
third quarter. Operating profits for the third quarter of 1995
includes $8.9 million representing the reversal of the Company's
equity in losses of Kaptel Associates (see Note 4 to Condensed
Financial Statements). Excluding this adjustment, resort operating
profits for the third quarter of 1995 was $275,000. The principal
reasons for increases in revenues and operating profits from the
Resort ongoing operations were similar to those for the nine month
period.
Commercial Property

The Commercial Property segment contributed revenues of $2.8
million and $5.7 million for the first nine months of 1996 and
1995, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
this segment produced an operating loss of $434,000 compared to an
operating profit of $427,000 for the same period in 1995.
Occupancies and tenant sales at the Napili Plaza and Kaahumanu
Center improved in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the
first nine months of 1995. The lower reported results for the
first nine months of 1996 reflect the Company's reduced ownership
in Kaahumanu Center Associates (KCA) and the change to the equity
method of accounting for this investment. The Company's investment
in KCA has been accounted for by the equity method since
April 30, 1995 because of the Company's reduced investment. Prior
to that, the financial statements of KCA were consolidated with the
Company (see Note 5 to Condensed Financial Statements).

For the third quarter of 1996 the Commercial Property segment
reported revenues of $1 million and an operating loss of $24,000.
Results for the comparable period a year ago were revenues of
$891,000 and an operating loss of $201,000. These improved results
principally reflect increased occupancies and tenant sales at
Napili Plaza and Kaahumanu Center.


Land Management

The Company's Land Management division produced revenues of
$956,000 for the first nine months of 1996 compared to $3.2 million
for the first nine months of 1995. Operating profits were $708,000
and $3.1 million, respectively, for the same periods. For the
third quarter of 1996 Land Management revenue was $268,000 compared
to $468,000 for the same period a year ago, and operating profits
were $86,000 compared to $449,000 for the third quarter of 1995.
The decrease in revenue and operating profit for the third quarter
and first nine months of 1996 results from fewer land sales.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company's total debt at September 30, 1996, including capital
leases was $42.8 million compared to $37.5 million at December 31,
1995. The increase in debt for the first nine months of 1996 was
largely a result of seasonal negative cash flows from operating
activities. Peak pineapple canning during the summer months,
coupled with a lag in receivable collections, principally from the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, were the primary reasons for
negative cash flows from operating activities during this period.
The deficiency in cash flow from operating activities is expected
to reverse in the fourth quarter of 1996 and borrowings will be
reduced. The Company had approximately $3.5 million in unused
revolving credit lines available at September 30, 1996.

In November 1996 the Company expects to conclude a $5 million
mortgage financing arrangement on the Napili Plaza. Proceeds from
this loan will be used to reduce the $20 million balance under the
Company's $22 million revolving credit facility.

In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company also expects to extend
and modify its $22 million revolving credit facility. It is
expected that this financing arrangement, which currently expires
on June 30, 1997, will be extended to December 31, 1997 and that
the available commitment will be reduced to $15 million.

The net effect of these financing arrangements will be to reduce
the Company's available credit lines by $2 million. The Company
believes that these credit facilities will be sufficient to meet
its seasonal cash requirements.

Capital expenditures for pineapple operations are expected to be
$4.3 million in 1996. Approximately 50% of these expenditures are
for equipment replacements. Resort capital expenditures for 1996
are projected to be $1.8 million. Approximately 55% of these
expenditures are for replacement of equipment used by the resort
recreation and retail operations. The corporate division expects
to have capital expenditures in 1996 of approximately $400,000
primarily for replacements and additions to the company's computer
system. Capital leases of approximately $1.1 million will be
incurred to finance some of the new equipment purchased in 1996.
The remainder is expected to be financed from operating cash flows.



PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. 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
it's 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 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 percent.

The Thai respondents have appealed the dumping calculations of
the Department of Commerce to the U.S. Court of International
Trade. Maui Pineapple has filed a cross appeal concerning one
element of the Department's determination. On August 19,
1996, the U.S. Court of International Trade heard arguments
from all parties to the appeals. As of this time, no decision
has been announced by the court.

In the third quarter of 1996, four Thai producers of canned
pineapple requested that the Department of Commerce conduct an
annual review of their records in order to ascertain whether
the current antidumping duties should be adjusted. The
reviews are expected to be completed by July 31, 1997.


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.,
etal., Civil No. 96-087(1) (Circuit Court of the Second
Circuit, State of Hawaii). The complaint, which seeks
unspecified special, general and punitive damages, alleges
that the exercise by MLP of a first refusal right constituted
tortious interference with Arosi's attempt to purchase the
Kapalua Bay Hotel and Villas from KBH Operations Limited
Partnership ("KBH"). The first refusal right was included in
a ground lease under which MLP leased the land underlying the
hotel to KBH. Arosi entered into a hotel purchase contract,
which expressly acknowledged MLP's first refusal right. After
MLP exercised that right, Arosi terminated the contract with
KBH, and KBH initiated a Chapter XI proceeding. The hotel was
subsequently sold to a third party, pursuant to bankruptcy
court approval and stipulations among KBH, MLP and other
parties. The litigation is still in its preliminary stages.


Item 5. Other Information

In September 1996 the owners of the Kapalua Bay Hotel sold the
hotel to a third party. The Company, as ground lessor, has
agreed to the assignment of the lease to the buyer and to the
amendment of certain terms of the lease (see Exhibit (10)A,
filed herewith).
