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 March 31,
1998 and 1997.

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 1998 and 1997 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 $578,000 and $567,000 at March 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997, respectively.

the Company effected a four-for-one split of its common stock.

has been restated to reflect the 7,188,500 shares outstanding

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated

For the first quarter of 1998, the Company reported a
consolidated net loss of $306,000, compared to consolidated net
income of $104,000 for the first quarter of 1997. Revenues for
the same period declined by about 1% from a year earlier.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 1998 was higher by
approximately 13%, principally because of higher average
borrowings.

General and administrative expenses were lower by 7%, principally
due to lower insurance and other costs in the land management
area and staffing changes made by the Pineapple division.

Pineapple

Revenue from Pineapple operations was lower by 6% in the first
quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1997. Lower
case sales volume reduced pineapple revenues by approximately
$1.9 million. Higher average sales prices, increased fresh fruit
sales and a change in product mix sold (fruit, juice,
concentrate) offset part of the revenue reduction caused by lower
sales volume of canned product.

Pineapple operations generated an operating loss of $327,000 for
the first quarter of 1998 compared to an operating profit of
$340,000 for the first quarter of 1997. The operating loss for
1998 was a result of lower sales volume coupled with a higher
average cost of sales per case due to increased production costs.

Resort

Revenue from the Kapalua Resort operations increased by 8% and
operating profits increased by approximately 1% for the first
quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1997. Most of
the revenue increase was attributable to increased golf play and
higher green and cart fees, and increased real estate sales
commissions from resale activity. Lease revenue, in particular
from the Kapalua Bay Hotel, also increased in 1998, primarily
because of planned ground lease reductions in 1997 to accommodate
the closure of the hotel for restoration work. These revenue
increases were partially offset by lower merchandise sales,
higher operating costs and increased marketing expenses.

Commercial & Property

Revenue from Commercial & Property operations decreased by 8% and
operating losses increased by approximately 2% for the first
quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1997. Insurance
and other costs in the land management area decreased in 1998,
but these declines were offset by lower results from Kaahumanu
Center, in particular because of higher bad debt expense.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER

At March 31, 1998, total debt including capital leases was $32.7
million, approximately $200,000 higher than December 31, 1997.
Increased debt and positive cash flows from operating activities
were used to finance capital expenditures. Unused short- and
long-term lines of credit available to the Company at the end of
the first quarter of 1998 totaled $21.3 million.

Expenditures for fixed assets, investments and Resort deferred
development costs are estimated to be approximately $11.7 million
in 1998. Included in this amount is approximately $5.3 million
for replacement of existing equipment for Pineapple and Resort
operations. The Company expects to finance most of these
expenditures with cash flows from operations.

On April 30, 1998, the Company effected a four-for-one split of
its common stock thereby increasing the common shares outstanding
to 7,188,500. On May 1, 1998 the Company's common stock began
trading on the American Stock Exchange under the stock symbol
"MLP."



PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Antidumping Petition
On April 7, 1998, the United States Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit heard the appeals of Maui Pineapple Company, Ltd.
and the Department of Commerce regarding the antidumping petition
and calculation of duties on imports of canned pineapple fruit
from Thailand. A final decision may take up to six months.

On April 19, 1998, the Department of Commerce announced the

the period from July 1996 to June 1997. As a result of these
reviews, the overall duties that are expected to be in effect in
mid-July will be significantly lower.
