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, 1999 and 1998.

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 1999 and 1998 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 $610,000 and $493,000 at March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, respectively.

5. Inventories as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 were

7. Average common shares outstanding for the interim periods
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 were 7,188,500. On May 1, 1998,
the Company effected a four-for-one split of its common stock.
Income (loss) per common share for the period ended March 31,
1998 has been restated to reflect such split.

8. In December of 1998, the presentation of "operating profit
(loss)" was modified to include allocated expenses of centralized
functions and the part of corporate administration attributable
to the business segment. Operating profits for prior periods
have been restated to conform to the current presentation.



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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated

Consolidated net income for the first quarter of 1999 was $1.6
million compared to a net loss of $306,000 for the first quarter
of 1998. Revenues of $33.6 million for the first quarter of 1999
were higher than the first quarter of 1998 by 18%.

Improved operating profits from all of the Company's business
segments and a 35% decrease in interest expense contributed to
the improved net results. The decrease in interest expense was
attributable to lower average borrowings and lower average
interest rates. Borrowings were lower in the first quarter of
1999 because of the retirement of certain debt in December 1998
and higher cash flows from operating activities during the
quarter.

General and administrative expenses were lower by 4% for the
first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998
primarily because of lower pension and workers compensation
costs, and a reduction of personnel, particularly in the
Pineapple segment.

Pineapple

Revenues from Pineapple operations increased by 15% for the first
quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998. Higher
prices and increased sales volume were about equally responsible
for the revenue increase. These positive results can largely be
attributed to a worldwide pineapple supply shortage, which may
continue through the second quarter of 1999, but is not expected
to continue for the entire year.

Pineapple operations produced an operating profit of $1.8 million
for the first quarter of 1999 compared to an operating loss of
$739,000 for the first quarter of 1998. Cost of sales per case
of canned pineapple sold was lower in 1999 than 1998 because of
lower production costs.

Resort

Revenues from the Company's Kapalua Resort segment were $12.7
million for the first quarter of 1999 compared to $10.1 million
for the first quarter of 1998. The operating profit from the
Resort was $1.7 million for the first quarter of 1999 compared to
$1.5 million for the first quarter of 1998. Approximately two-
thirds of the increase in revenues was due to tournament
operations fees received as a result of hosting the Mercedes
Championships held in January of 1999. Costs and expenses to
host the tournament more than offset the tournament operations
fees and were charged primarily to marketing expense for the
first quarter of 1999. Higher Resort marketing expense is
largely the reason for the increase in consolidated Shipping and
Marketing expenses.

In the first quarter of 1999, room occupancies at Kapalua Resort
exceeded the first quarter of 1998 and were reflected in
increased revenues and operating profits from the Kapalua Villas
rental program, the hotel ground leases and from the Resort's
recreation and retail operations, in particular, merchandise
sales. Higher average green fees in 1999 were more than offset
by a reduction in the number of paid rounds of golf, which was
due partly to the weather and to restricted play during the
Mercedes Championships.

Commercial & Property

Revenues from the Commercial & Property segment were $923,000 for
the first quarter of 1999 compared to $995,000 for the first
quarter of 1998. The segment generated an operating loss of
$215,000 for the first quarter of 1999 compared to $242,000 for
the first quarter of 1998. Lower revenues were primarily due to
rate reductions for the electricity generated by the Company and
sold to Kaahumanu Center.

The Company's losses from its investment in Kaahumanu Center were
$180,000 for the first quarter of 1999 compared to $330,000 for
the first quarter of 1998. Lower loss for 1999 was principally
attributable to bad debt expenses recorded in the first quarter
of 1998.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER

Total debt including capital leases was $26.1 million at March
31, 1999, approximately $200,000 lower than December 31, 1998.
Outstanding debt is expected to increase in the second quarter as
seasonal cash requirements for the pineapple operations reach a
peak during the summer and as construction of The Village Course
Clubhouse and Kapalua Golf Academy continues. Unused short- and
long-term lines of credit available to the Company at March 31,
1999, including the $15 million development line of credit for
construction of the clubhouse and golf academy, totaled $35.4
million. These credit lines and anticipated cash flows from
operations are expected to be adequate to cover the Company's
cash requirements for 1999.

Expenditures for fixed assets and deferred development costs are
estimated to be approximately $22 million in 1999. This amount
includes approximately $11.5 million for the clubhouse and golf
academy. Also included is approximately $6.8 million for
replacement of existing equipment for Pineapple and Resort
operations.

In April of 1999, the maturity of the Company's $15 million
bridge loan was extended to June 1, 1999 to allow additional time
to complete the documentation required for closing of a senior
secured term loan facility, which will refinance the bridge loan.

The Company has evaluated its information technology (IT) and non-
IT 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 for the Resort
merchandise inventory control and golf reservations system, all
applications requiring software upgrades from outside vendors are
now Year 2000 compliant.

The Company received the Resort merchandise inventory control
software upgrade at the end of April 1999. Installation and
testing is now underway and is scheduled to be completed by July
1, 1999. The golf reservations section of the software upgrade
is expected to be received by July 1, 1999 and is targeted to be
Year 2000 compliant by September 1, 1999. The upgrade to the
operating system used by the merchandise inventory control and
golf reservations applications is presently available and will be
installed after the software applications are installed, tested
and in use. The target date for completion is October 1, 1999.

All of the Company's custom data processing applications required
modification to be Year 2000 compliant. Among them, the
Pineapple sales system and the Pineapple warehouse system are
critical to the Company's operations. Modification and testing
of both systems were complete by year-end 1998 and the remaining
custom data processing applications are scheduled to be compliant
by the end of the second quarter of 1999.

The Company initiated correspondence with vendors, suppliers and
trading partners during 1998 and through the first quarter of
1999 to assess risk of business interruption by noncompliance of
third parties. Through late April 1999, the Company received
responses to approximately 52% of its inquiries, including all of
those whose noncompliance would have a material impact on the
Company. The responses indicate that these companies' data
processing systems are either Year 2000 compliant or are expected
to be compliant by the end of the third quarter of 1999.

The most reasonably likely worst case scenario involves the
compliance of the Resort merchandise inventory control system.
This system accumulates and processes data for approximately
150,000 items sold in ten retail outlets at the Kapalua Resort.
Delay in the 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 recorded in the inventory
control system. Because the software upgrade has now been
delivered, the Company believes that at worst, tracking and
reordering may have to be performed manually for a period while
installation and testing is being completed. The volume of
inventory reorders for delivery in 2000 is relatively low between
June 1 and September 1, and the Company is prepared to perform
tracking and reordering manually during this period if necessary.

It is anticipated the Company's Information Services personnel
will spend approximately 90% of their time on Year 2000
compliance through the second quarter of 1999 and approximately
50% of their time on non-critical Year 2000 programming issues
during the second half of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. It
appears that the Company's present 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 not incurred any material expenditures of Year
2000 compliance to date. Based on current information, no
material future expenditures have been identified. The Company
does not separately track internal costs incurred for Year 2000
issues. Such costs are principally payroll and related costs for
the Company's Information Services personnel.

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, the worldwide supply of pineapple 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, those risks and uncertainties as
disclosed in the Company's 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. During the
first quarter of 1999 there were no substantial changes in the
composition of the Company's borrowing commitments or borrowings
outstanding.
