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,
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 $623,000 and $567,000 at September 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated

Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 1998 was
$401,000 compared to $960,000 for the third quarter of 1997.
Revenues for the third quarter of 1998 were 1% higher than the
third quarter of 1997.

For the first nine months of 1998, the Company had net income of
$218,000 compared to net income of $2.6 million for the first
nine months of 1997. Revenues of $96 million for the first nine
months of 1998 were 3% lower than the same period in 1997.

The reduction in net income for the third quarter and first nine
months of 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997 largely
reflect differences in net profits from land sales. Net income
for the third quarter of 1997 included approximately $650,000
from land sales in the Company's Commercial & Property segment.
Land sales were responsible for approximately $140,000 and $3.3
million, respectively, of net income for the first nine months of
1998 and 1997.

Interest expense was 1% lower for the third quarter and 3% higher
for the first nine months of 1998 compared to the same periods in
1997 primarily as a result of differences in the average
borrowing levels. Average interest rates were approximately the
same in 1998 and 1997.

General and administrative expenses were 6% higher for the third
quarter and 1% lower for the first nine months of 1998 compared
to the same periods in 1997. The increase in general and
administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1998 is
primarily due to charges in September of 1998 for pension and
other postretirement expenses related to an early retirement
incentive package that became effective on September 1, 1998.
Lower general and administrative expenses for the first nine
months of 1998 primarily reflect cost reductions in the land
management area, lower insurance costs and lower salary expense.

Pineapple

Revenues from Pineapple operations were higher by 7% and 1%, for
the third quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively, as
compared to the same periods in 1997. For the third quarter of
1998, a 4.5% increase in revenues was attributable to higher
sales volume. Average prices were slightly lower in the third
quarter of 1998. For the first nine months of 1998, revenues
from fresh fruit and other sales and higher average prices for
canned pineapple increased revenues by 2%. These increases were
partially offset by lower sales volume.

Pineapple operations produced an operating profit of $2 million
for the third quarter of 1998 compared to $2.2 million for the
third quarter of 1997. For the first nine months of 1998
Pineapple operations had an operating profit of $2.6 million
compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 1997. Cost of
sales per case sold was lower for the third quarter and the first
nine months of 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997 largely
because of better recoveries (cases per ton) and other production
efficiencies. Charges in the third quarter of 1998 as a result
of an early retirement incentive package and higher shipping and
marketing costs were responsible for lower operating profits in
1998.

Resort

Revenues from the Company's Kapalua Resort segment were $8.5
million and $8.7 million for the third quarter of 1998 and 1997,
respectively. For the first nine months of 1998 and 1997,
revenues were $27.9 million and $30.1 million, respectively.

Operating profits from the Resort were $361,000 and $173,000 for
the third quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively. For the first
nine months of 1998 and 1997 operating profits were $3.2 million
and $5.6 million, respectively.

Resort revenues and operating profit for first nine months of
1997 includes $4.2 million from the sale of the land parcel next
to the Kapalua Bay Hotel. Excluding this transaction, the
resort's golf and other operations produced an operating profit
of $3.2 million for the first nine months of 1998 compared to
$1.4 million for the same period a year ago.

Operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of
1998 included higher lease revenues from the Kapalua Bay Hotel
ground lease, the Kapalua Shops tenant leases and other
commercial leases primarily because in 1997 the Kapalua Bay Hotel
was closed for part of the year for restoration work. The
Kapalua Villas contributed to the improved 1998 results due to
higher average room rates. Increases in paid rounds of golf and
average green fees also contributed to the improved results for
the first nine months of 1998.

Commercial & Property

Revenues from the Commercial & Property segment for the third
quarters of 1998 and 1997 were $1 million and $2.2 million,
respectively. For the first nine months of 1998 revenues were
$3.1 million compared to $4.4 million for the first nine months
of 1997. Operating profit from this segment was $83,000 for the
third quarter of 1998 compared to $1.1 million for the third
quarter of 1997. For the first nine months of 1998 the segment
produced an operating loss of $29,000 compared to an operating
profit of $851,000 for the first nine months of 1997. Higher
contributions from land sales in the third quarter of 1997 were
primarily responsible for the lower 1998 results. Losses from
Kaahumanu Center were about the same for the third quarter of
1998 and the third quarter of 1997. For the first nine months of
1998, the Company's share of losses from this investment
increased compared to the same period in 1997 primarily because
of bad debt expense recorded in the first quarter of 1998.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER

At September 30, 1998, total debt including capital leases was
$38.9 million, approximately $6 million higher than December 31,
1997. The increase in debt principally reflects the pineapple
canning season that peaks in September and a lag in collection of
receivables, particularly from sales to the U.S. government.
Cash flows from operating activities are expected to be positive
during the fourth quarter of 1998 and debt should be reduced by
year-end. Unused short- and long-term lines of credit available
to the Company at the end of the third quarter of 1998 totaled
$13.9 million.

Expenditures for fixed assets, investments and Resort deferred
development costs are estimated to be approximately $11.1 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.

An enhanced early retirement package that was offered to
employees in the pineapple and corporate divisions became
effective on September 1, 1998. The package was offered as part
of the Company's plan to consolidate certain pineapple operations
and reduce the size of its workforce. The Company recorded
charges of $343,000 in the third quarter of 1998 for termination
benefits due to the enhanced early retirement package.
Reductions in payroll related expenses for the last four months
of 1998 are expected to offset part of the charges for
termination benefits recorded in the third quarter.

The Company has evaluated its data processing and computer
application systems with respect to Year 2000 capability and has
set target dates for compliance of all systems. Several of the
Company's data processing applications use software programs
purchased from outside vendors. Except as mentioned in the
discussion that follows, all applications requiring upgrades from
software vendors are now Year 2000 compliant. The Company has
received, but not yet installed the vendor provided software
upgrades for its human resource and time and attendance systems.
Completion of installation and testing of these upgrades is set
for the end of the first quarter 1999. The Year 2000 software
upgrade for the Resort merchandise inventory control and golf
reservations system has been partially received and the remainder
of this upgrade is expected to be received by year-end 1998. The
upgrade to the operating system for the equipment used by this
application is presently available, but may require additional
modification to function with the upgrades to the software
applications. Installation and testing of software upgrades to
the Resort merchandise inventory control data and golf
reservation system are estimated to be completed by April 30,
1999, and the operating system for the equipment will be upgraded
thereafter.

The Resort merchandise inventory control system accumulates and
processes data for approximately 150,000 items sold in ten retail
outlets at the Kapalua Resort. Delay in the receipt,
installation and testing of this software upgrade could affect
merchandise purchase order procedures resulting in decreased
control over inventory levels. Reorder lead times range from
four to seven months and proper reorder control requires that
active purchase orders be in the inventory control system. The
vendor has assured the Company that it is committed to delivery
of this software upgrade on a timely basis. The Company is
presently accumulating information on alternative systems in the
event that upgrades for the current system become unacceptably
delayed.

Several of the Company's custom data processing programs will
require modification in order to be Year 2000 compliant. Among
these programs, the pineapple sales system and the pineapple
warehouse system have been identified as critical to the
Company's operations. The Company's Information Services
personnel have identified the necessary programming changes to
these applications. It is estimated that programming and testing
of the pineapple warehouse system will be complete by the end of
November 1998 and the pineapple sales system will be compliant by
the end of 1998. At this time it appears that the Company's
current Information Services personnel will be able to complete
all program modifications, installations and testing, and that no
outside resources will be required.

The Company has received responses to 90% of the letters
initiated during the first half of 1998 assessing the risk of
interruption of the Company's businesses by vendors, suppliers
and trading partners. The responses all indicate that these
trading partners' data processing systems are either already Year
2000 compliant or are expected to be compliant by the end of the
first quarter of 1999.

The Company has completed a checklist of its non-information
technology systems and has identified a system that will require
an upgrade to be Year 2000 compliant. The upgrade identified
does not have any functional effect on the Company's operations.
The Company is in the process of identifying the necessary
upgrades to the numerous personal computers used in the Company
and expects that this will be an ongoing process through the
first half of 1999.

Based on current information, no material expenditures associated
with the Year 2000 issue have been identified.

This report contains forward-looking statements, within the
meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as
to the Company's expectations for positive cash flows from
operating activities and reduction of expenses for the remainder
of 1998, and its expectations regarding the Year 2000 issue.
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, the success of the Company in identifying systems and
programs that contain two-digit year codes, the nature and amount
of programming required to upgrade or replace each of the
programs and systems affected by the two-digit year code, the
timeliness of receipt and accuracy of vendor provided Year 2000
software upgrades, and other risks and uncertainties as disclosed
in the Company's Form 10-K filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.



PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Antidumping Petition
In April of 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 is expected by the end of 1998.

In August of 1998, the final results of the second administrative
review were announced by the Department of Commerce. The review
resulted in lower duties for six of the seven Thai producers
reviewed. The antidumping duties presently in place on imports
of canned pineapple fruit from Thailand range from less than 1%
up to 51%.

The third administrative review covering the period from July
1997 to June 1998 commenced in August of 1998 and a preliminary
determination is expected sometime in the second quarter of 1999.
