BUSINESS Pacific Century Financial Corporation (Pacific Century) was organized on August 12, 1971, as the first bank holding company in the State of Hawaii. Originally organized as Hawaii Bancorporation, Inc., its name was changed in 1979 to Bancorp Hawaii, Inc. and in 1997 changed to Pacific Century Financial Corporation. The latter change in name was made to provide a more distinctive and descriptive identity that reflects the Company's strategic goals to expand its activities beyond Hawaii to Asia, the West and South Pacific, and the U.S. Mainland. Pacific Century provides a broad range of financial products and services to customers in Hawaii, other areas of the Pacific Basin, Asia, and the U.S. Mainland. It is the largest bank holding company headquartered in the State of Hawaii. The principal subsidiaries of Pacific Century are Bank of Hawaii, Bancorp Pacific, Inc., California United Bank (CUB), and Pacific Century Bank, N.A. (PCB). In March 1997, Bank of Hawaii International, Inc. (BOHI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Hawaii, finalized its acquisition of Indosuez Niugini Bank, Ltd. in Papua New Guinea, renaming it Bank of Hawaii (PNG) Ltd. With this acquisition, BOHI has operations across the South Pacific from French Polynesia to Papua New Guinea. Pacific Century also finalized its acquisition of CU Bancorp and its wholly- owned subsidiary, CUB in July 1997. The acquisition accounted for as a purchase merged CU Bancorp into Pacific Century making it the parent of CUB. CUB's headquarters are located in Encino, California. CUB has 21 branches in Southern California and targets small and middle market commercial businesses and retail customers. In December 1997, BOHI announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Banque Paribas Pacifique in New Caledonia and Banque Paribas Polynesie in French Polynesia. The acquisitions, which are subject to regulatory approval, are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1998. Upon completion, the acquired banks will be merged into two of BOHI's existing subsidiaries, Bank of Hawaii-Nouvelle Caledonie and Banque de Tahiti. Banque Paribas Pacifique reported assets of $211.3 million and Banque Paribas Polynesie reported assets of $80.6 million, both as of December 31, 1997. In October 1997, Hawaiian Trust Company, Limited was merged into Bank of Hawaii and became Pacific Century Trust, a division of Bank of Hawaii. This merger provides synergy to grow both bank and trust products through coordinated marketing and bundled services. Pacific Century Asset Management, Inc. (formerly Pacific Capital Asset Management) was closed at the end of 1997 having been operational since 1994. The company intended to provide high-end, performance-oriented portfolio management services to the institutional marketplace. However, the ability to penetrate this highly competitive market could not be demonstrated. Pacific Century's organization structure as of December 31, 1997 is included in Exhibit 21.1. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned except as otherwise noted for certain banks in the South Pacific and for those entities whose directors own qualifying shares. Each entity is consolidated with its immediate parent company except for affiliate banks in the South Pacific. BOHI's investments in these affiliate banks include Bank of Tonga, National Bank of Solomon Islands and Pacific Commercial Bank, Ltd., which are accounted for under the equity method. At December 31, 1997, Pacific Century and its subsidiaries employed 5,114 persons on a full-time or part-time basis. 2 The following is a brief description of each of Pacific Century's subsidiaries. Bank of Hawaii was organized under the laws of Hawaii on December 17, 1897, and has been continuously in business since. Its headquarters are in Honolulu, Hawaii, and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Bank of Hawaii is the largest full-service financial institution in Hawaii with a statewide network of 65 regular branches and 13 supermarket branches. It is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. Pacific Century and 15 directors of Bank of Hawaii (each of whom holds 125 qualifying shares each) own 100% of the outstanding shares. There are four directors of Bank of Hawaii who do not hold qualifying shares. The legal requirement for directors of Hawaii banks to hold qualifying shares was eliminated in 1993. It is anticipated that directors currently holding such shares will retain them until they retire or resign from the Board of Bank of Hawaii. Bank of Hawaii provides customary commercial banking services through branch offices in the State of Hawaii and branches or representative offices in Bahamas (Nassau), Republic of Fiji (Suva, Nadi, and Lautoka), Hong Kong, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Philippines (Manila, Cebu, and Davao), Singapore, Taiwan (Taipei), American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), Federated States of Micronesia (Pohnpei, Kosrae, and Yap), Guam, Republic of the Marshall Islands (Majuro), and Republic of Palau (Koror). Bank of Hawaii also provides representative services in India through Capital Trust Limited, a leading merchant bank in India. Bank of Hawaii also has subsidiary and affiliate banks in New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, French Polynesia, Tonga, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, and Samoa. Pacific Century Trust, a division of Bank of Hawaii, operates offices in Guam and Arizona as well as Hawaii. Trust assets under administration at year-end 1997 were $12.5 billion. Bank of Hawaii owns all of the outstanding stock of Pacific Century Leasing, Inc.; BOHI; Bank of Hawaii International Corp., New York; Pacific Century Investment Services, Inc.; Bankoh Corporation; Pacific Century Advisory Services, Inc.; Pacific Century Insurance Agency, Inc.; and Realty and Mortgage Investors of the Pacific, Ltd. A brief discussion of these Bank subsidiaries follows: Pacific Century Leasing, Inc. (PCL), formerly Bancorp Leasing of Hawaii, Inc., formed in 1973, provides leasing and leasing services, mainly to the commercial sector in Hawaii. PCL has several subsidiaries that are "specific purpose leasing vehicles." These subsidiaries include S.I.L., Inc.; Arbella Leasing Corp.; Pacific Century Leasing International, Inc.; and BNE Airfleets Corporation. On a consolidated basis, PCL's assets represented 1.5% of Pacific Century's total assets at year-end 1997. In 1997, Bankoh Equipment Leasing Corp. and Pacific Century Leasing of America, Inc. were dissolved. Both of these companies were former subsidiaries of PCL. BOHI was formed in 1968. BOHI holds equity interests in the following foreign financial institutions (in the percentages indicated): Bank of Hawaii- Nouvelle Caledonie--91%; Bank of Hawaii (PNG) Ltd.--100%; Banque de Tahiti-- 92%; Bank of Tonga--30%; Banque d'Hawaii (Vanuatu), Ltd.--100%; National Bank of Solomon Islands--51%; and Pacific Commercial Bank, Ltd.--43%, in Samoa. BOHI's total assets represented 6.3% of Pacific Century's total assets at year-end 1997. Bank of Hawaii International Corp., New York (BOHICNY) was organized in 1982 as an Edge Act corporation. BOHICNY provides payment, clearing, and settlement services with the New York Clearing House and Clearing House Interbank Payment Service for both affiliated and unaffiliated banks. BOHICNY had total assets representing 1.3% of Pacific Century's total assets at year-end 1997. Pacific Century Investment Services, Inc. (PCIS), formerly Bancorp Investment Group, Ltd., was formed in 1991 to provide full service brokerage and other investment services. The company began operations in February of 1992 as a subsidiary of Pacific Century. In 1994, Pacific Century contributed the stock of PCIS to Bank of Hawaii. As a result, PCIS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Hawaii. 3 Bankoh Corporation was originally incorporated in 1984 as Hawaiian Hong Kong Holdings, Ltd. and remained inactive until 1994. In 1994, the name was changed to Bankoh Corporation, with minimal activity since its name change. Pacific Century Advisory Services, Inc., formerly Bankoh Investment Advisory Services Ltd., was reactivated in 1991 to provide advisory services for businesses seeking to operate in Hawaii. The activity of this company remained very limited during 1997. Pacific Century Insurance Agency, Inc. (PCIA), formerly Pan-Ocean Insurance Agency, Inc., engages in general insurance agency, insurance sub agency and general insurance brokerage business to the extent permitted under applicable federal and state laws. Business activity began in late 1995 with limited activity in 1997. Realty and Mortgage Investors of the Pacific, Ltd. (RAMPAC), a wholly-owned subsidiary, was organized in 1992 as a financial services company in the State of Hawaii. Its activity is focused on commercial real estate lending in Hawaii, and it does not accept deposits. Total assets at year-end 1997 were $37.4 million. Pacific Century also holds all of the outstanding stock, except as noted, of the corporations listed below: Bancorp Pacific, Inc., formerly known as FirstFed America, Inc., was incorporated under Delaware law in July 1986 for the purpose of becoming a savings and loan holding company to own the outstanding stock of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of America (First Federal) upon its conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally chartered stock savings and loan association. Bancorp Pacific Inc.'s only significant business is conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal, and First Federal's subsidiary, First Savings and Loan Association of America (First Savings). First Federal, a federally chartered stock savings and loan association, has been in operation since 1904. First Federal operates 21 full service branches in Hawaii whose deposits are insured by the FDIC. In 1997, three First Federal branches were closed with the deposits transferred to nearby Bank of Hawaii branches. In addition, First Federal's Lanai branch was transferred to, and continues to operate as a branch of Bank of Hawaii. Total assets for First Federal represented 7.0% of Pacific Century's total assets at year-end 1997. First Savings operates in a market area that includes the entire territory of Guam and the island of Saipan in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (located approximately 120 miles northeast of Guam). First Savings operates three full-service branches and three in-store branches in Guam and one full-service branch in Saipan. The FDIC insures its deposits. First Savings has agreed to transfer its Saipan office to Bank of Hawaii. Upon the transfer, which is expected to occur in the spring of 1998 following the receipt of regulatory approvals, the deposits and certain assets of the branch will be consolidated with a nearby branch of Bank of Hawaii. The stock of Pacific Century Capital Corporation (PCCC), formerly Bancorp Finance of Hawaii-(Guam), Inc., was contributed to First Savings in 1991. PCCC was originally formed in 1979 as Bankoh Finance, Inc. through the purchase of the assets of an industrial loan company based in Guam. PCCC has deposit-taking authority under Guam law, but discontinued accepting new deposits in 1984 and has had no deposit liabilities since 1987. On a consolidated basis, First Savings' assets represented 1.2% of Pacific Century's total assets at year-end 1997. PCB, formerly First National Bank of Arizona, was acquired by Pacific Century in October 1987. Pacific Century and the directors of PCB (each of whom holds 1,000 qualifying shares) own 100% of the outstanding shares of PCB. PCB is organized under the laws of the United States. The FDIC insures its deposits, and it is a member of the Federal Reserve System. PCB provides customary commercial banking services through ten branch offices located in the State of Arizona. Four of these branches were acquired from Home Savings of America in March 1997 along with deposits of approximately $250 million. PCB had total assets representing 3.6% of Pacific Century's total assets at year-end 1997. Pacific Century Life Insurance Corporation (PCLIC), formerly Bancorp Life Insurance Company of Hawaii, Inc., was incorporated in 1981 in the State of Arizona to underwrite, as a reinsurer, the credit life and credit accident and health insurance sold in conjunction with Bank of Hawaii's short-term consumer lending activities. 4 Pacific Century Agency, Inc., formerly Bancorp Insurance Agency of Hawaii, Inc., was formed in 1982 to act as an agent for the sale of all credit life and credit accident and health insurance that is reinsured with PCLIC. In 1989, Pacific Century established a wholly-owned captive insurance company, Pacific Century Insurance Services, Inc. (Pacific Century Insurance), formerly Bancorp Hawaii Insurance Services, Ltd. With Pacific Century Insurance's formation, Pacific Century became the first Hawaii corporation to establish a Hawaii captive insurance company for its self-insurance needs. Pacific Century Insurance provides bankers professional liability insurance exclusively to Pacific Century and its subsidiaries and affiliates. In 1992, Pacific Century Insurance began providing workers compensation insurance for Pacific Century and its subsidiaries. Pacific Century Insurance's formation provides Pacific Century with greater flexibility and stability in controlling insurance coverages and premium costs. Pacific Century Insurance also provides Pacific Century with the opportunity to design self-insurance programs not otherwise available in the conventional insurance market. Pacific Century Small Business Investment Company, Inc. (PCSBIC), formerly Bancorp Hawaii Small Business Investment Company, Inc., was formed in September 1983 in the State of Hawaii as a small business investment company. Its investment and lending activities were reactivated in 1995 with several new investments made during the year. In 1997, activity remained limited with new investments totaling $0.8 million. Total assets of PCSBIC was $2.1 million at year-end 1997. REGULATION AND COMPETITION Effect of Governmental Policies The earnings of Pacific Century and its principal subsidiaries are affected not only by general economic conditions, both domestically and internationally, but also by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve System, and foreign governments and their agencies. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System influence to a significant extent the overall growth of loans, investments, deposits, interest rates charged on loans, and interest rates paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies are often not predictable. Flexibility is a key attribute in successfully responding to these varied forces. Competition The financial services industry has become highly competitive. Pacific Century, Bank of Hawaii, and First Federal compete with local Hawaii financial institutions, and CUB and PCB compete with local financial institutions in Southern California and Arizona, respectively. In addition, each of them competes with institutions located in the major financial centers of the world. These financial institutions include not only banks and savings associations, but also insurance companies, brokerage houses, mortgage companies, consumer finance companies, credit unions, and diversified financial services companies that provide many or all of the services offered by commercial banks and savings institutions but operate without a banking charter and thus free of most of the associated regulatory requirements. Six commercial banks, four savings associations, approximately seven deposit-taking financial services loan companies, approximately 114 credit unions, and scores of mortgage companies and other financial services firms serve the State of Hawaii. The State is also served by a large number of out- of-state institutions and foreign banks. Bank of Hawaii is the largest Hawaii based financial services firm operating in the market. Outside of Hawaii, Bank of Hawaii's primary competition in the Pacific Basin comes from several major U.S. Mainland and foreign banks that operate in those areas. First Federal is the second largest savings association in Hawaii. Southern California, in which CUB competes, is served by at least 226 local commercial banks, at least 52 savings associations, and approximately 443 credit unions as well as numerous other financial services firms of a wide variety of types, including foreign banks and other foreign financial entities. Likewise, in the state of Arizona, in which PCB competes, approximately 41 commercial banks, 7 savings associations, 71 credit unions, 5 and numerous other financial services firms conduct full-service operations. CUB is approximately the 46th largest insured depository institution, and PCB is approximately the eleventh largest insured depository institution, in Southern California and Arizona, respectively, as measured by deposits placed in offices there. Additional financial institution holding companies or their subsidiaries may enter markets served by Pacific Century and thereby provide additional competition. Likewise, if Pacific Century, Bank of Hawaii, First Federal, CUB, PCB and their respective subsidiaries pursue additional business opportunities, they will encounter significant competition from other businesses, including ones not associated with banks or financial institution holding companies. Supervision and Regulation Pacific Century is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHC Act) and, as such, is subject to the Act and regulations issued thereunder by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board of Governors). Pacific Century is also registered as a bank holding company under the Hawaii Code of Financial Institutions (the Code) and, as such, is subject to the registration, reporting, and examination requirements of the Code. The BHC Act requires prior approval of the Board of Governors of the acquisition by Pacific Century of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or any other bank holding company. The statute has been eliminated, effective September 29, 1995, which had prohibited the acquisition of more than 5% of the stock of Pacific Century by a bank holding company whose operations are principally conducted in a state other than Hawaii, and the acquisition by Pacific Century of more than 5% of the stock of any bank located in a state other than Hawaii unless the statutory law of the state in which such bank is located specifically authorized such acquisition. Accordingly, at the present time and subject to certain limits, the BHC Act allows adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank holding companies to acquire control of banks in any state. Thus, assuming it is judged to be adequately capitalized and adequately managed, Pacific Century is no longer disabled by the BHC Act from acquiring control of banks in any state, and bank holding companies whose operations are principally conducted in states other than Hawaii are no longer disabled by the BHC Act from acquiring control of Pacific Century. An interstate acquisition may not be approved, however, if immediately before the acquisition the acquirer controls an FDIC-insured institution or branch in the state of the institution to be acquired, and if immediately following the acquisition the acquirer would control 30 percent or more of the total FDIC-insured deposits in that state; but a state may waive the 30 percent limitation by statute, regulation, or order, or by certain nondiscriminatory administrative approvals. Beginning on June 1, 1997, an adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank may apply for permission to merge with an out-of-state bank and convert all branches of both parties into branches of a single bank. States retain the authority to prohibit such mergers if between September 29, 1994 and June 1, 1997 they enacted a statute expressly prohibiting them and that statute applies equally to all out-of-state banks. An interstate merger may not be approved, however, if immediately before the acquisition the acquirer controls an FDIC-insured institution or branch in the state of the institution to be acquired, and if immediately following the acquisition the acquirer would control 30 percent or more of the total FDIC-insured deposits in that state; but a state may waive the 30 percent limitation by statute, regulation, or order, or by certain nondiscriminatory administrative approvals. Banks are also permitted to open newly established branches in any state that expressly permits all out-of-state banks to open newly established branches, if the law applies equally to all banks. Hawaii has enacted a statute, effective June 1, 1997, which authorizes out- of-state banks to engage in "interstate merger transactions" with (mergers and consolidations with and purchases of all or substantially all of the assets and branches of) Hawaii banks, following which any such out-of-state bank may operate the branches of the Hawaii bank it has acquired. The Hawaii bank must have been in continuous operation for at least five years prior to such an acquisition, unless it is subject to or in danger of becoming subject to certain types of supervisory action. This statute does not permit out-of-state banks to acquire branches of Hawaii banks 6 other than through an "interstate merger transaction" (except in the case of a bank that is subject to or in danger of becoming subject to certain types of supervisory action) nor to open branches in Hawaii on a de novo basis. The BHC Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, Pacific Century from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in any activity other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or other subsidiaries authorized under the BHC Act, or furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries. Among the permitted activities is the ownership of shares of any company the activities of which the Board of Governors determines to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In making this determination, the Board of Governors is required to weigh the expected benefits to the public, such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in efficiency, against the risks of possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices. The Board of Governors has adopted regulations that specify various activities as being so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The exact nature and scope of such activities have been the subject of intense national debate, and thus, they may change and become broader as they evolve over time. Under the policies of the Board of Governors, Pacific Century is expected to act as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks and to commit resources to support its subsidiary banks in circumstances where it might not do so absent such a policy. It is the policy of the Board of Governors that in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. In 1989 Congress expanded the authority of bank holding companies to acquire savings associations, subject to approval by the Board of Governors. Bank holding companies may acquire healthy as well as failed or failing savings associations in any state. Congress in 1989 restructured the regulation of the savings and loan industry and its deposit insurance and provided a new regulatory structure for the resolution of troubled and insolvent savings associations. Congress in 1989 also permitted the FDIC to impose cross- guarantee liability on insured institutions for any cost or loss incurred by the FDIC in connection with the default by, or assistance to, a commonly controlled institution. By virtue of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act and Section 18(j) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, Pacific Century and its subsidiaries are "affiliates" of Bank of Hawaii, CUB and PCB and are subject to the provisions of Section 23A, which limit the amount of and require substantial security for loans and extensions of credit by Bank of Hawaii, CUB or PCB to, and investments in, Pacific Century or certain of its subsidiaries and the amount of advances to third parties collateralized by the securities and obligations of Pacific Century or certain of its subsidiaries. Sections 23A and 18(j) are designed to assure that the capital of depository institutions such as Bank of Hawaii, CUB and PCB is not put at risk to support their non-bank affiliates. A similar provision, Section 11 of the Home Owners' Loan Act, subjects the thrift subsidiaries of Pacific Century to essentially the same limitations in their transactions with their "affiliates," including Pacific Century. Also, Pacific Century and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain "tie-in" arrangements in connection with extensions of credit or provision of property or services. Bank of Hawaii is subject to supervision and examination by the FDIC and the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the State of Hawaii. CUB is subject to supervision and examination by the Board of Governors and the California State Department of Financial Institutions and in certain respects the FDIC. PCB is subject to supervision and examination by the Comptroller of the Currency and in certain respects the FDIC. Banks, including Bank of Hawaii, CUB and PCB, are subject to extensive federal and (in the case of Bank of Hawaii and CUB) state statutes and regulations that significantly affect their business and activities. Banks must file reports with their regulators concerning their activities and financial condition and obtain regulatory approval to enter into certain transactions. Banks are also subject to periodic examinations by their regulators to 7 ascertain compliance with various regulatory requirements. Other applicable statutes and regulations relate to insurance of deposits, allowable investments, loans, acceptance of deposits, trust activities, mergers, consolidations, payment of dividends, capital requirements, reserves against deposits, establishment of branches and certain other facilities, foreign and international operations, limitations on loans to one borrower and loans to affiliated persons, and other aspects of the business of banks. Recent federal legislation has instructed federal agencies to adopt standards or guidelines governing banks' internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation and benefits, asset quality, earnings and stock valuation, and other matters. Similar provisions subject savings associations, including First Federal and First Savings, to comparable requirements and restrictions. Legislation adopted in 1994 gives the federal banking agencies greater flexibility in implementing standards on asset quality, earnings, and stock valuation. Regulatory authorities have broad authority to initiate proceedings designed to prohibit banks and savings associations from engaging in unsafe and unsound banking practices. Bancorp Pacific, Inc., as a savings and loan holding company, is subject to supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), and its thrift subsidiaries are subject to supervision by the OTS and in certain respects the FDIC. As owner of all of the stock of Bancorp Pacific, Inc., Pacific Century is itself registered with the OTS as a savings and loan holding company and in such capacity is subject to various OTS regulations, examinations, and reporting requirements. The Home Owners' Loan Act and regulations issued thereunder generally prohibit a savings and loan holding company, directly or indirectly, from (i) acquiring control of an insured savings institution or its holding company without prior OTS approval; (ii) acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of an insured savings institution or holding company that is not a subsidiary; or (iii) acquiring control of an uninsured savings institution. No director or officer of a savings and loan holding company or person owning or controlling more than 25% of its voting shares may, except with the prior approval of the OTS, acquire control of an insured savings association that is not a subsidiary of that holding company. Congress adopted legislation in 1991 to permit the FDIC to increase deposit insurance assessment rates for insured banks and to levy emergency special assessments against insured institutions. In response, the FDIC adopted a premium schedule under which the actual assessment rate for a particular institution depends in part upon the risk classification the FDIC assigns to that institution. The FDIC may raise an institution's insurance premiums or terminate insurance altogether upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices. On September 30, 1996, legislation was signed into law to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund administered by the FDIC (SAIF), which generally insures the deposits of savings associations. The legislation required the FDIC to impose a one-time special assessment on SAIF-assessable deposits, including the deposits of First Federal and First Savings. This one time assessment was accrued and paid in 1996. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act of 1991 (FDICIA) requires the federal banking regulators to take "prompt corrective action" in respect to depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements and imposes certain restrictions upon banks which meet minimum capital requirements but are not "well capitalized" for purposes of FDICIA. FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from paying any dividend or making any capital distribution or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized institutions are subject to regulatory monitoring and may be required to divest themselves of or liquidate subsidiaries. Holding companies of such institutions may be required to divest themselves of such institutions or divest themselves of or liquidate nondepository affiliates. Critically undercapitalized institutions are prohibited from making payments of principal and interest on subordinated debt and are generally subject to the mandatory appointment of a conservator or receiver. Further, a bank that is not well capitalized is generally subject to various restrictions on "pass through" insurance coverage for certain of its accounts and is generally prohibited from accepting brokered deposits and offering interest rates on any deposits significantly higher than the prevailing rate. Such banks and their holding companies are also required to obtain regulatory approval before retaining senior executive officers. 8 Subject to certain exceptions, FDICIA (as modified in 1992) restricts certain investments and activities as principal by state banks (including Bank of Hawaii and CUB) and requires the federal banking regulators to prescribe standards for extensions of credit secured by real estate or made to finance improvements to real estate, loans to bank insiders, regulatory accounting and reports, internal control reports, independent audits, and other matters, and requires that insured depository institutions generally be examined on-site by federal or state personnel at least once every twelve months. Federal legislation enacted in 1992 affords the federal banking agencies limited discretion to provide relief from certain regulatory requirements to depository institutions doing business or seeking to do business in an emergency or major disaster area. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 affects the amortization of intangible assets by banks, requires securities dealers (including banks) to adopt mark-to-market accounting with respect to certain of their securities in calculating income taxes, and establishes a preference for depositors in liquidations of FDIC-insured banks. Bills are now pending or expected to be introduced in the United States Congress that contain proposals for altering the structure, regulation, and competitive relationships of the nation's financial institutions. If enacted, these bills could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities (including activities in the insurance and securities fields), or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions and other financial institutions. Some of these bills would broaden the powers of bank holding companies, reduce regulatory burdens on financial institutions, address aspects of competitive imbalance between credit unions and other regulated financial institutions, promote more open financial markets for U.S. banks and financial companies in foreign nations, limit the prerogative of regulators to expand the range of permissible activities for banks, particularly in the field of insurance, eliminate or revise the features of the specialized savings-association charter, permit affiliations among banks, insurance companies, and securities firms or between banks and nonfinancial companies, and realign the structure and jurisdiction of various financial institution regulatory agencies. Whether or in what form any such legislation may be adopted or the extent to which the business of Pacific Century might be affected thereby cannot be predicted. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Pacific Century and its subsidiaries own and lease premises primarily consisting of operating facilities, the majority of which are located in Hawaii. Bank of Hawaii owns four significant properties, the largest of which are condominium units in the Financial Plaza of the Pacific (FPP) in which the Bank's main branch and administrative offices are located. Portions of the FPP are owned in fee simple or leased. The capital leases are for portions (less than 12%) of the FPP. Details of the capital leases are included in the long term debt footnote. Additionally, Bank of Hawaii owns a two-story building near downtown Honolulu which houses data processing and certain other operational functions; a parcel of land in downtown Honolulu; and Hale O Kapolei, a 248,000 square feet operations facility in the Kapolei area on Oahu. Hale O Kapolei was completed and placed in service in 1995. Interest expense of $1,500,000 was capitalized while Hale O Kapolei was under construction in 1995. First Federal owns a five-story building in downtown Honolulu that serves as its main branch and administrative offices. ITEM 3.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA Year-End Summary of Selected Consolidated Financial Data--Table 24 on page 46. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Pacific Century Financial Corporation (Pacific Century), formerly known as Bancorp Hawaii, Inc., reported earnings of $139.5 million in 1997, up 4.8% from $133.1 million reported in 1996. In 1995, net income was $121.8 million. Basic earnings per share were $1.75 for 1997, compared to $1.63 in 1996 and $1.46 in 1995. Diluted earnings per share in 1997 were $1.72, compared to $1.62 and $1.45, in 1996 and 1995, respectively. In 1997, return on average assets (ROAA) decreased slightly to 0.98% but return on average equity (ROAE) improved to 12.57%. ROAA in 1996 was 1.00% and ROAE was 12.43%. Pacific Century has accounted for all of its business acquisitions under the purchase method, which results in the recording of goodwill and other intangible assets. These intangible assets are amortized over various periods as a non-cash charge to operating income. Operating results under a tangible performance basis excludes from reported earnings the after tax impact of amortization of all intangibles, including goodwill. On a tangible performance basis, Pacific Century's earnings were $147.7 million in 1997, $139.2 million in 1996 and $127.3 million in 1995. On a per share basis, tangible diluted earnings per share were $1.82 in 1997, compared to $1.69 and $1.51 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Tangible ROAA for Pacific Century was 1.05% in both 1997 and 1996 and 1.03% in 1995. Tangible ROAE was 15.47%, 14.23%, and 13.62% in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Net interest income (on a taxable equivalent basis) increased 11.1% from 1996 to $537.2 million in 1997. Analyzing this increase, about $30.1 million was attributed to an increase in average earning assets, while $23.7 million was attributed to a widening in net interest margin from 3.90% in 1996 to 4.08% in 1997. Comparatively, net interest margin was 3.73% in 1995. Total non-performing assets, plus accruing loans past due 90 days or more, increased to $122.1 million, representing 1.29% of total loans at year-end 1997, compared to $117.9 million, or 1.36% of total loans reported at year-end 1996 and $77.6 million, or 0.95% of total loans at year-end 1995. The increase in non-performing assets in 1997 is largely attributed to a $17.6 million increase in the foreign loan category. As a percentage of outstanding loans, non-performing assets increased to 1.02% as of year-end, up from 0.96% at year-end 1996 and 0.70% at year-end 1995. Other real estate totaled $6.2 million at year-end 1997, down from $10.7 million at year-end 1996. The reserve for loan losses totaled $174.4 million at the end of 1997, representing 1.88% of loans outstanding, compared with $167.8 million and 1.97%, respectively at year-end 1996. Net charge-offs in 1997 11 were $30.2 million, or 0.34% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $13.0 million, or 0.16% of average loans in 1996 and net charge-offs of $14.1 million in 1995, or 0.18% of average loans. In 1997, provisions for loan losses of $30.3 million were charged to income, up from $22.2 million in 1996 and $17.0 million in 1995. Presented in Table 1 are additional 1997 earnings measures and performance ratios. Summarized below are significant events that occurred in 1997. In 1997, Hawaii's economy remained stagnant continuing a multi-year trend that began in the early 1990's. Since 1991, the growth in Hawaii's real gross state product has averaged under 1%. The growth in Pacific Century's Hawaii market is tied to the State's general economic well-being, and accordingly, Hawaii's weak economy has limited the Company's operating performance in 1997. By the end of 1997, an economic crisis had spread throughout much of Asia. Many countries in the region experienced a significant devaluation of their currency relative to the U.S. dollar, as well as higher interest rates and a general tightening of credit. In 1997, Pacific Century recognized charge-offs totaling $10.4 million relating to loans in Thailand and placed $17.6 million in Thai loans on non-accrual. Asia continues to play an important part of Pacific Century's longer term strategy of developing a comprehensive franchise and customer base across the Pacific. Additional information regarding Asian events are included in the International Operations section of this report. Recognizing the risks of operating in only one economy, Pacific Century's long standing strategy calls for expanding outside of Hawaii, with emphasis on key Pacific locations. In 1997, Pacific Century further developed this strategy by completing the following acquisitions in California, Arizona and the South Pacific. Pacific Century acquired CU Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary California United Bank (CUB) in July 1997. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. As of December 31, 1997, total assets of CUB was $797.1 million. CUB's net income for the six months of 1997 totaled $4.7 million, net of goodwill amortization. Additionally, Pacific Century Bank, N.A. (PCB), formerly First National Bank of Arizona, completed in March 1997 its acquisition of four branches and approximately $250 million in deposits in Arizona from Home Savings of America. In March 1997, Bank of Hawaii International, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of Hawaii) finalized its purchase of Indosuez Niugini Bank, Ltd., operating in Papua New Guinea. The name was changed to Bank of Hawaii (PNG) Ltd. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Bank of Hawaii (PNG) Ltd. reported total assets of $80.3 million at year-end 1997 and net income of $2.6 million for the ten-month period since the acquisition after considering the amortization of goodwill. The 1997 acquisitions affect the comparison between the amounts reported in the 1997 consolidated financial statements and the corresponding amounts in the 1996 statements. In addition, the May 1996 purchases of Banque de Tahiti and Banque de Nouvelle Caledonie (renamed in 1997 to Bank of Hawaii-Nouvelle Caledonie) also affect the comparability between these financial statements. In December 1997, Pacific Century entered into a definitive purchase contract to acquire, subject to regulatory approval, Group Paribas' interest in Banque Paribas Pacifique in New Caledonia and Banque Paribas Polynesie in French Polynesia. The purchase is expected to close in the second quarter of 1998. At December 31, 1997, total assets of Banque Paribas Pacifique and Banque Paribas Polynesie were $292 million in the aggregate. Pacific Century has agreed, subject to regulatory approval, to purchase approximately $25 million in Bank of Queensland Convertible Notes. The Bank of Queensland is located in northeastern Australia, and the purchase will enable Pacific Century to broaden its geographic reach in the Pacific Rim. 12 PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS TABLE 1 (IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

PACIFIC CENTURY'S MARKETS Pacific Century is the largest bank holding company headquartered in the State of Hawaii. Pacific Century's oldest and largest market is Hawaii, where operations are conducted primarily through its principal subsidiary Bank of Hawaii. Bank of Hawaii was established 100 years ago in 1897 and remained an entirely Hawaii based financial institution until 1959, when it opened its first branch beyond Hawaii in which is now known as the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Expansion has continued since then on a measured basis. Today, Pacific Century provides services to a customer base that spans 12,000 miles between New York and Singapore and covers much of the South and West Pacific. Pacific Century's focus is in four primary markets: Hawaii, the Pacific, Asia, and the U.S. Mainland. Hawaii Market Bank of Hawaii is the largest financial institution in Hawaii offering a wide array of financial products and services to individuals, businesses and institutions. It is the only financial institution that has offices on every major Hawaiian island. In Hawaii, Bank of Hawaii operates through 78 offices, including both traditional full-service branches and in-store locations. Pacific Century also conducts business in Hawaii through its subsidiary First Federal Savings and Loan Association of America (First Federal). Of First Federal's 21 branches, all but two are located on Oahu. First Federal's focus is on the retail market offering a full line of deposit and residential mortgage products and services. Pacific Century's combined assets in the Hawaii market totaled $9.1 billion at year-end 1997, compared to $8.8 billion at year-end 1996. Total loans in Hawaii were $5.2 billion, as presented in Table 4, an increase of 2.0% from the $5.1 billion reported at year-end 1996. Over the years, Bank of Hawaii has been actively introducing new electronically based banking products that provide enhanced customer convenience and service. Additionally, the use of technology has also led to the introduction of new value-added products. These products include: PC Home Banking, Bankoh Bill Pay (an 14 electronic bill payment service), and various debit cards (Mileage Access Card, the Access Card and Isle Pay cards). In 1997, Bank of Hawaii expanded its ATM network to 480 machines, up from 401 machines at year-end 1996. ATM services have also increased, with many ATMs having been enhanced to dispense postage stamps, gift certificates and discount coupons. Hawaii's overall economic condition has a substantial impact on Pacific Century's performance. After less than 0.5% real annual gross state product (GSP) growth from 1991-1995, Hawaii's GSP rose 0.9% during 1996. The current consensus estimate among economists is for Hawaii's 1997 GSP to have remained flat with zero growth estimated for 1998. Tourist arrivals totaled 6.9 million in both 1995 and 1996, and is forecast to be about the same level in 1997. Pacific Market Pacific Century has maintained a presence in the Intra-Pacific region for nearly four decades. This market has grown over the years and now spans island nations across the South and West Pacific that have developed as participants in the economic growth occurring within the Asia-Pacific Rim. Pacific Century is the only United States financial organization to have such a broad presence in this region. Pacific Century serves the West Pacific through branches of both Bank of Hawaii and First Savings and Loan Association of America (First Savings), a wholly owned subsidiary of First Federal. Bank of Hawaii serves Guam through three branches and also has branches in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (Saipan), the Federated States of Micronesia (Yap, Pohnpei and Kosrae), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (Majuro) and the Republic of Palau (Koror). First Savings maintains branches in Guam and Saipan providing retail deposit and mortgage lending products. For financial reporting purposes, the West Pacific operations are considered domestic, because the U.S. dollar is used as the currency in these locations. Total assets in the West Pacific region were $916 million at year-end 1997, compared to $874 million at year-end 1996. Loans as of year-end 1997 increased to $768.0 million from $714.8 million last year, an increase of 7.4%. The economic forecast for the West Pacific region is a mix of modest to booming economies. Overall, these dollar denominated economies are expected to grow at an average rate of 2% to 5% in 1998. Steady growth is anticipated in Guam with more rapid growth projected in Saipan and Palau. Pacific Century's presence in the South Pacific includes branches of Bank of Hawaii and the subsidiary and affiliate banks owned by Bank of Hawaii International, Inc. (BOHI). BOHI owns interests in Banque d'Hawaii (Vanuatu), Ltd. (100%), Bank of Hawaii (PNG) Ltd. (100%), Banque de Tahiti (BDT) (92.4%) and Bank of Hawaii-Nouvelle Caledonie (BHNC) (91.5%) all of which are included in Pacific Century's consolidated financial statements. BOHI also has investments in the National Bank of Solomon Islands (51%), Bank of Tonga (30%) and Pacific Commercial Bank, Ltd. (43%) in Samoa, which are accounted for under the equity method. Four branches of Bank of Hawaii are included in this region: the three branches in Fiji and the American Samoa branch. Since the American Samoa branch is U.S. dollar based, its operations are considered domestic. Total assets in the South Pacific region were $1.1 billion, down $0.1 billion from the same date a year ago. Economic forecasts indicate overall growth in the South Pacific to be between 2% and 5%. Modest growth is anticipated in most countries in this region. The economies in French Polynesia and Samoa are in the upper range of forecasted growth. However, given the size of these economies, the growth in monetary terms is modest. 15 Asia Market Asia is a market that Pacific Century has developed over the last 19 years. Pacific Century operates in Asia through branches in Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan and a representative office with extensions in the Philippines. Pacific Century's business focus in Asia is correspondent banking and trade financing. The actual activities include letters of credit, remittance processing, foreign exchange, cash management, export bill collection, and working capital loans. The lending emphasis is on short-term loans based on cash flows. Pacific Century provides correspondent banking and lending services to the Asia market through its International Banking Group. Pacific Century's network of locations in the Pacific and its presence on the U.S. Mainland help customers facilitate the flow of business and investment transactions across Asia-Pacific. The Asia Market reported $1.7 billion in total assets at year-end 1997, compared to $1.8 billion a year ago. Pacific Century's strategy for this region continues to emphasize a trade finance focus. Countries in the Asian Rim experienced a high level of financial turmoil in 1997. Confidence in Asian equity markets and currencies waned, adversely affecting currency exchange rates and values. Pacific Century's exposure in this region is discussed further in the International Operations section of this report. U.S. Mainland Market The U.S. Mainland market provides opportunities to grow both loans and deposits. Pacific Century's interest in this market continues to focus on distinct groups of customers. Specific markets presenting opportunities have been targeted in Arizona and California. Additional lending activity through Bank of Hawaii has targeted Fortune 1000 companies, businesses that have interests in the Pacific, and businesses in the media and communications industry. Both CUB and PCB focus on the small and middle market commercial customers, while also serving retail borrowers and depositors in their respective markets. In 1997, PCB acquired approximately $250 million in deposits and four branch locations in Arizona from Home Savings of America. Both the Arizona and California economies remain robust, with growth expected through 1998. The healthy Southwest economic environment is consistent with growth opportunities for both CUB and PCB. In aggregate, total assets in the U.S. Mainland market were $2.2 billion at December 31, 1997. The increase from the $1.4 billion reported a year ago is largely due to the acquisition of CUB in 1997 and the 1997 deposit acquisition by PCB. The following sections provide additional information on Pacific Century's 1997 financial position, operating results, lending activities and market risks: . Risk Elements Involved in Lending Activities . Asset and Liability Management . Capital Adequacy . Market Risk Exposures . Liquidity Management . Control of Net Overhead . Income Taxes . Fourth Quarter Results and Other Matters 16 RISK ELEMENTS INVOLVED IN LENDING ACTIVITIES Risk Profile of Lending Activity Loans comprise the largest category of earnings assets for Pacific Century and produce the highest level of earnings. At year-end 1997, loans outstanding grew to $9.5 billion, a 9.2% increase from $8.7 billion at year-end 1996. Most of this growth is attributed to the July 1997 acquisition of CUB. Without the CUB acquisition, loans would have increased 3.9% in 1997. This modest rate of internal loan growth is reflective of the continued adverse impact of Hawaii's weak economy. It is Pacific Century's objective to maintain a diverse loan portfolio in order to spread credit risk and reduce exposure to economic downturns that may impact different markets and industries. Pacific Century regularly monitors the composition of its loan portfolio to ensure diversity as to loan type, geographic distribution, and industry and borrower concentration. Table 3 presents the composition of the loan portfolio by major loan categories. For 1997, much of the year-to-year growth in commercial and industrial loans, construction and commercial mortgages, and installment loans are attributed to the 1997 CUB acquisition. Although real estate loans still continue to comprise the largest portion of the loan portfolio, their level of representation has declined slightly from 47.1% of total loans at year-end 1996 to 46.1% at year-end 1997. Included in real estate loans at December 31, 1997, were $2.7 billion in residential mortgages that comprised 62.6% of total real estate loans, down from 64.3% at the prior year-end.

Commercial and Industrial Loans At December 31, 1997, commercial and industrial loans (C&I) totaled $2.1 billion, up 16.5% from year-end 1996. The proportion of C&I loans to the total loan portfolio increased to 22.2% at year-end 1997, from 20.8% at year-end 1996. This growth is attributed to the CUB acquisition in 1997 and reflects CUB's emphasis on commercial lending. At the end of 1997 CUB reported $274.7 million in C&I loans. 17 C&I loans consist of loans made for commercial, financial, and agricultural purposes and involves lending on both a secured and unsecured basis. Collateral requirements vary, but are based on the Company's underwriting and collateral policies to ensure that consistent safety standards are maintained. The geographic distribution of C&I loans is concentrated in Hawaii and the U.S. Mainland with 34.9% and 54.3%, respectively, as of year-end 1997. In Hawaii, Pacific Century is a major commercial lender and maintains a significant presence throughout the State. Pacific Century provides continuing support to the entire business community by offering a wide range of products and services. At year-end 1997, C&I loans in Hawaii totaled $735.1 million. In the U.S. Mainland market, C&I lending totaled $1.1 billion at year-end 1997, up $266.1 million from year-end 1996, and is comprised largely of loans to Fortune 1000 companies and the media and communication industry, as well as loans that were originated by Pacific Century's two U.S. Mainland subsidiary banks. Real Estate Loans At year-end 1997, Pacific Century's total real estate loans were $4.4 billion, 6.7% higher than year-end 1996. This portfolio consists of loans that are secured by residential as well as commercial properties. The largest component of the real estate loan portfolio consists of loans secured by 1-to-4 family residential properties. At $2.7 billion, this group grew $103.6 million from year-end 1996, and represented 28.8% of total loans outstanding at year-end 1997. More than 90% of these loans are secured by real estate in Hawaii (see Table 4). Pacific Century originates residential mortgages on both a fixed-rate and adjustable-rate basis. Most of the fixed- rate products are sold in the secondary mortgage market, while adjustable-rate mortgages are held in the Company's loan portfolio. Included in the residential mortgage total at year-end 1997 were $96.2 million in available for sale loans. At December 31, 1997, approximately 68% of the 1-to-4 family residential mortgage portfolio were underwritten on a floating rate basis. The average loan size in the residential loan portfolio was $138,000 at year-end 1997, and on average these loans have been outstanding for about 6 years. The Company has targeted residential mortgage lending in Hawaii as an attractive line of business for growth. In 1997, residential first mortgage originations by Pacific Century in Hawaii totaled $570.8 million, representing about 15% of the State's total first mortgage originations. Comparatively, Pacific Century originated $821.6 million and $572.8 million in first mortgage loans in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Also included in the residential real estate portfolio are home equity credit lines. The total available credit under these lines was $480.6 million at year-end 1997, compared to $489.7 million at year-end 1996. Outstandings declined to $263.7 million at year-end 1997 from $285.6 million at year-end 1996. These credit lines are underwritten based on the borrower's repayment ability rather than the value of the underlying property. Home equity credit lines are generally limited to 75% of the value of the collateral less the amount of prior liens. The commercial real estate portfolio (excluding construction loans) totaled $1.4 billion at year-end 1997, an increase of 10.3% over year-end 1996. Approximately 70% of these loans were secured by commercial real estate in Hawaii. The commercial real estate portfolio is diversified in the type of property securing the obligations. Total commercial construction loans increased to $268.1 million at year-end 1997, compared to $212.3 million at year-end 1996. These loans are secured primarily by properties located in Hawaii, which accounted for 71.6% of such loans at December 31, 1997. Because construction lending is considered to generally involve greater risk than financing on improved properties, Pacific Century utilizes higher underwriting and disbursement standards that are designed to compensate for this risk. The majority of these loans are underwritten based on the projected cash flows of the completed project, rather than the value of the underlying property, and generally require a committed source for permanent financing. At year-end 1997 the commercial construction portfolio consisted of the following major categories: tract and land development for residential housing, $129.4 million; hotels, $39.6 million; retail facilities, $31.1 million; commercial offices, $14.9 million and industrial projects, $7.4 million. 18 Consumer Loans Total consumer loans (excluding residential mortgages and home equity loans) increased to $891.6 million, up 5.0% from year-end 1996. These loans are shown in Table 3 under the caption "Installment." At year-end 1997, consumer loans consisted of credit cards and consumer installment loans (e.g., auto loans, unsecured credit lines, and guaranteed student loans) representing 32% and 68%, respectively, of the total loans in this category. The credit card portfolio balance was $288.7 million at year-end 1997, a decrease of 0.8% from year-end 1996. At year-end 1997, 1.8% of the credit card portfolio (based on balances) was more than 90 days delinquent, compared to 0.8% and 1.4%, at year-end 1996 and 1995, respectively. At year-end 1997, Pacific Century's base of credit cardholders decreased about 3.7% to 159,700 cardholders from year-end 1996. The decline in cardholders is attributed to higher than expected card cancellations with respect to a co-branded credit card program. As a result of the high level of cancellations, a charge-off of approximately $1.6 million in capitalized card origination costs was recognized in 1997. Leasing Activities At year-end 1997, leases outstanding increased to $519.4 million, up 18.6% from year-end 1996. Pacific Century's lease portfolio is diversified, consisting primarily of leases on equipment, autos, trucks, ships, aircraft, and computers. Also during 1997, a leveraged lease matured and a gain of $4.4 million (pre-tax) was recognized upon the sale of the underlying equipment. International Lending Pacific Century's international business emphasis is primarily on correspondent banking, trade finance and working capital loans for companies that have business interests in the Asia-Pacific markets. The majority of foreign loans are short-term and are largely based on the Company's traditional focus on relationships. Foreign loans at the end of 1997 totaled $1.6 billion, an increase of 6.8% over year-end 1996. At year-end 1997 foreign loans represented 16.9% of the total loan portfolio, down from 17.3% at year- end 1996. At December 31, 1997, foreign loans in the South Pacific totaled $766.8 million, an increase of 3.4% over $741.3 million at year-end 1996. This increase is accounted for by the March 1997 acquisition of Indosuez Niugini Bank, Ltd. in Papua New Guinea, which had $30.6 million in loans outstanding at year-end 1997. Most of the South Pacific loans are in two subsidiary banks, Banque de Tahiti and Bank of Hawaii-Nouvelle Caledonie, which in the aggregate held total loans of $684.9 million at the end of the current year. At December 31, 1997, outstanding loans to borrowers in Asia totaled $818.6 million, compared to $738.6 million at December 31, 1996. In addition, outstanding commitments represented by open letters of credit and bankers acceptances relative to borrowers in Asia were approximately $388.5 million at year-end 1997. Additional information on Asian credit exposure and recent Asian economic events are contained in the International Operations section of this report. Geographic Distribution of the Loan Portfolio A geographic distribution of the loan portfolio is presented in Table 4 based on the geographic location of borrowers. Although loans in Hawaii still constitute the highest geographic lending concentration, their proportion to the total loan portfolio has declined to 54.8% at December 31, 1997 from 58.6% at December 31, 1996. For 1997, the U.S. Mainland figures in Table 4 are affected by the loans acquired in the CUB merger. At year-end 1997, the percentage of U.S. Mainland loans to total loans increased to 19.7% from 15.3% at year-end 1996. The amounts reflected in the West Pacific include Guam and other locations in the region where both Bank of Hawaii and First Savings and Loan Association of America, have branches. Loan balances in the South Pacific reflect the U.S. dollar equivalent balances of subsidiary banks in French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Papua 19 New Guinea, Vanuatu and Bank of Hawaii branches in Fiji. Loan balances in American Samoa make up the remainder of loans in the South Pacific region. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF LOAN PORTFOLIO (1) TABLE 4

- -------- (1)Loans classified based upon geographic location of borrowers. Non-Performing Assets and Past Due Loans Non-performing assets (NPA) consist of non-accrual loans, restructured loans and foreclosed real estate. These assets, which generally have more than a normal risk of loss, totaled $97.1 million at year-end 1997, compared to $83.2 million at the end of 1996, and $56.9 million at the end of 1995. Pacific Century has generally maintained a level of NPA to outstanding loans of around 1%. In 1997, this ratio rose to 1.02%. Comparatively the ratio was 0.96% and 0.70% for 1996 and 1995, respectively. Table 6 presents the Company's NPA and ratio of NPA to total loans for the last five years. In order to minimize credit losses, Pacific Century strives to maintain high underwriting standards, identify potential problem loans early and work with borrowers to cure delinquencies. Moreover, charge-offs, if required, are taken promptly and reserve levels are maintained at adequate levels. Pacific Century's policy is to place loans on non-accrual status when a loan is over 90 days delinquent, unless collection is likely based on specific factors such as the type of borrowing agreement and/or collateral. At the time a loan is placed on non-accrual, all accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current earnings. Total non-accrual loans rose to $89.3 million at year-end 1997, up 23.2% over year-end 1996. This increase is attributed to higher non-accrual balances in the real estate and foreign loan categories. At year-end 1997, non-accrual loans secured by real estate totaled $36.7 million, or 41.1% of total non- accruals loans; with the majority of these loans secured by residential real estate in Hawaii. Non-performing residential mortgages (excluding construction loans) totaled $32.9 million at year-end 1997, compared to $23.6 million at year-end 1996. The year-over-year increase in non-accrual residential mortgages was $9.3 million in 1997 reflecting the weak economy and declining real estate prices in Hawaii. Although residential mortgage non-accruals have increased, charge-offs on these loans have remained stable at $1.9 million for both 1997 and 1996. Because residential mortgages are secured by real estate, the credit risk on these loans are lower than unsecured lending. Most of the Company's residential loans are owner-occupied first mortgages and were underwritten to provide a loan-to-value ratio of no more than 80% at origination. Additionally, the risk in this portfolio is also moderated by the smaller average loan balance compared to commercial lending. 20 At December 31, 1997, non-performing foreign loans were $39.9 million, compared to $22.3 million at December 31, 1996 and were minimal at December 31, 1995. The rise in non-performing foreign loans in 1997, is primarily related to the recent turmoil in the economies of certain Asian countries. Approximately, $17.6 million in Thai loans were reported as non-accrual at December 31, 1997, following a partial charge-off and proposed restructuring of these loans. At year-end 1997, BDT and BHNC reported $20.5 million in NPA compared with $22.3 million at year-end 1996. Accruing loans past due 90 or more days for BDT and BHNC were $5.8 million at year-end 1997, compared to $9.5 million at year-end 1996. Additional information relative to foreign loans is contained in the International Operations section of this report. C&I loans that were classified as non-performing totaled $10.7 million or 11.0% of total NPA at year-end 1997, a decline from $20.9 million and $16.9 million at year-end 1996 and 1995, respectively. Foreclosed real estate declined to $6.2 million at year-end 1997, from $10.7 million at year-end 1996. This decline is attributed to the sale of a $6.6 million residential property in November 1997 at a modest gain. At December 31, 1997, the foreclosed real estate portfolio consisted of 32 properties, mostly located in Hawaii. The largest property represented 18.4% of the total. In 1997, net gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate were $523,000, compared to net losses of $380,000 in 1996 and $276,000 in 1995. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $25.0 million at year-end 1997, a decline of $9.7 million from $34.7 million reported at year-end 1996. This decline is mainly due to lower delinquencies in the commercial real estate loan portfolio and, to a lesser extent, in improvements in the foreign and installment loan portfolios. Table 6 presents a five-year history of accruing loans that were past due 90 days or more. In 1997, Pacific Century recorded $3.7 million in cash basis interest on loans that were previously on non-accrual or charged-off, compared to $2.6 million in 1996. In 1997, $204,000 in interest reversals were recorded on non- accrual loans, an increase from the $216,000 reversed in 1996 and $156,000 in 1995.

Summary of Loan Loss Experience The reserve for loan losses represents the aggregate reserves of Pacific Century's banking subsidiaries that are available to absorb future losses on loans. Additions to the reserve are provided through provisions for loan losses that are charged against earnings. At the end of 1997, the reserve for loan losses was $174.4 million, an increase of $6.6 million over the prior year level of $167.8 million. The 1997 reserves included $11.5 million of acquired reserves from CUB. 22 The ratio of reserves to loans outstanding at year-end 1997 was 1.88%, compared with 1.97% at year-end 1996 and 1.90% at year-end 1995. Loan loss provisions in 1997 were $30.3 million, $8.1 million higher than the prior year level of $22.2 million. Net charge-offs in 1997 were $30.2 million or 0.34% of average loans, compared to $13.0 million, or 0.16% of average loans in 1996 and $14.1 million, or 0.18% of average loans in 1995. A summary of the activity in the reserve for loan losses for the last five years is presented in Table 7. Pacific Century maintains the reserve for loan losses at a level that it believes is adequate to absorb estimated future losses on all loans. The reserve level is determined based on a continuing assessment of problem credits, recent loss experience, changes in collateral values, and current and anticipated economic conditions. Pacific Century's credit administration procedures emphasizes the early recognition and monitoring of loans in order to control delinquencies and minimize losses. For larger commercial credits, a line driven loan grading system is used. These loans are generally graded annually by the lending officer and an independent evaluation of this process is performed by the Credit Review department to ensure reasonable and timely grades. At year-end 1997, the reserve for loan losses provided a coverage of 180% of non-performing loans, compared to a 202% coverage at year-end 1996. Additionally, the ratio of year-end reserves to gross charge-off was 3.2 times and 3.8 times for 1997 and 1996, respectively. Gross charge-offs in 1997 totaled $55.1 million, representing 0.62% of average loans outstanding. Comparatively, the ratio was 0.53% and 0.36%, respectively at year-end 1996 and 1995. Gross charge-offs as a percentage of the reserve for loan losses were 31.6%, 26.3% and 18.4% in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Average annual charge-offs for the five years ended in December 1997 was $43.6 million. The increase in gross charge-offs in 1997 is attributed to a rise in the foreign category to $10.6 million from $0.9 million in 1996. Of this amount, approximately $10.4 million relates to charge-offs recognized on Thai loans. Excluding foreign loans, charge-offs in 1997 were mostly concentrated in the installment and commercial loan categories. In 1997, charge-offs on installment loans declined slightly to $28.1 million from $28.9 million in 1996, while charge-offs on commercial loans reflected a $4.0 million increase to $12.7 million. In 1997, recoveries of previously charged-off loans declined to $24.9 million. Recoveries were $31.1 million in 1996 and $13.8 million in 1995. Most of the 1997 recoveries were concentrated in the C&I portfolio. The level of C&I recoveries in 1997 include $11.7 million collected from the $45 million charged-off in 1992 and 1993 relating to one credit. All charge-offs relating to that credit have now been fully recovered. 23 SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE TABLE 7

International Operations Pacific Century maintains an extensive international presence in the Asia- Pacific region that provides opportunities to take part in lending, correspondent banking and deposit-taking activities in these markets. These activities are facilitated through Bank of Hawaii branches, a representative office with extensions and full service subsidiary/affiliate banks. This network of locations across the Asia-Pacific has enabled customers to participate in trade and investment between the U.S. Mainland, Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Pacific Century's foreign lending consists of both local currency and cross- border lending. Local currency loans are those that are funded and will be repaid in the currency of the borrower's country. Cross-border lending, on the other hand, involves loans that will be repaid in a currency other than that of the borrower's country. This type of lending involves greater risk because the borrower's ability to repay is additionally dependent on changes in the currency exchange rate. Pacific Century controls its exposure to the risks of international lending by evaluating the political and economic factors that bear on a country's ability to meet its foreign debt obligations. Based on these analyses, maximum credit limits (both short and long term) are established for each country to ensure diversity and minimize and control risk in the international portfolio. These credit limits are reviewed on a regular basis so that risks and exposures are understood and properly assessed. Pacific Century's strategy for foreign lending is to deal, on a direct basis, primarily with countries and companies that have a strong trade and investment interest in Hawaii and Asia- Pacific region. Pacific Century divides its international business into two areas: the International market, which is Asia related and the Pacific market, which comprises the South and West Pacific Divisions. Through the International Banking Group of Bank of Hawaii, Pacific Century offers international banking services to its corporate and financial institution customers in most of the major Asian financial centers with support from its New York and Honolulu operations. Bank of Hawaii's offices that offer these services are located in Hong Kong, the Philippines (Manila, Cebu, and Davao), South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, and New York. The International Banking Group of Bank of Hawaii continues to focus on correspondent banking and trade-related financing activities and lending to customers with which it has a direct relationship. The South Pacific Region consists of investments in subsidiary banks in French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, and Bank of Hawaii branch operations in Fiji and American Samoa. In March 1997, Pacific Century expanded its investments in this region by acquiring Indosuez Niugini Bank, Ltd. 25 in Papua New Guinea. Additionally, Bank of Hawaii has interests in affiliate banks located in Tonga, Samoa and Solomon Islands. The Banks in the French territories are currently operating under a management contract with Credit Lyonnais. The managers of those areas have a direct reporting line to the South Pacific Manager at Bank of Hawaii. The operations and the clients of the subsidiaries and affiliates are evaluated on a similar basis to those in branch offices. Exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is limited as each subsidiary/affiliate primarily deals in its own currency. The largest South Pacific subsidiary operations are in the French territories of French Polynesia and New Caledonia. Bank of Hawaii's West Pacific Division provides commercial and retail banking services through branches in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), the Federated States of Micronesia (Pohnpei, Kosrae, and Yap), Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (Majuro), and the Republic of Palau (Koror). Since the U.S. dollar is used in these locations, the Company's operations in the West Pacific are not considered foreign for financial reporting purposes and are included in domestic operations. Table 9 provides a summary of assets, liabilities, operating revenue, and net income for Pacific Century's International Operations for the last three years. Net income for 1997 increased to $10.2 million, compared to the $8.1 million in 1996. This represents a return on assets for these operations of 0.34% in 1997, up from the 0.29% in 1996.

- -------- (1) Cross-border outstandings are defined as foreign monetary assets that are payable to the Company in U.S. dollars or other non-local currencies, plus amounts payable in local currency but funded with U.S. dollars or other non-local currencies. Monetary assets include loans, acceptances, and interest-bearing deposits with other banks. (2) Includes U.S. dollar advances to foreign branches and affiliate banks which were used to fund local currency transactions. Totals for 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $419.9 million, $327.9 million and $293.2 million, respectively. An economic crisis that began in Thailand in mid-Spring of 1997 spread throughout Asia by the end of the year. In June of 1997, the Bank of Thailand suspended the operations of sixteen finance companies. The action helped to intensify the economic crisis throughout Asia. With the suspension of another forty-two finance companies in August, coupled with continuing pressure on the Thai currency, the Thai Baht, a greater erosion of confidence took place. As the crisis spread, many countries throughout the region began to see a sharp depreciation of their currencies against the U.S. dollar. Those that did not felt significant pressure to devalue. By year-end, currencies such as the Korean Won, the Indonesian Rupiah, and the Thai Baht had depreciated substantially. The rapid rate of depreciation had an immediate negative impact on those companies in Asia that maintained liabilities in dollars. Additionally, the crisis of confidence also led to a general tightening of credit across the region that made it increasingly difficult for businesses to obtain credit. A devalued currency along with much higher levels of interest rates created a greater level of tension and uncertainty to the Asia markets. Those countries that have been affected the most from the current turmoil are Thailand, Indonesia and South Korea. More tangibly, local 27 companies and financial institutions required greater amounts of local currencies to service debt. The tighter credit environment escalated to a general liquidity crisis that required the intervention of the International Monetary Fund in Thailand, Indonesia and South Korea. The countries in Asia to which Pacific Century maintains its largest credit exposure on a cross border basis include South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. At December 31, 1997, cross border credit exposure in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan were $413.2 million, $389.9 million, and $120.8 million, respectively. In Japan and Taiwan, despite pressures from neighboring countries, the high levels of foreign exchange reserves have helped to maintain economic stability. With current on-going implementation of an International Monetary Fund restructuring plan, South Korea is working to bring back confidence and liquidity to the country. Our experience and history in the country give us confidence in our ability to manage our exposure during this difficult period. Pacific Century's lending in South Korea is focused on trade-related activities and is mostly short-term in nature. Most of the South Korean loans are to financial institutions (e.g., national and regional banks) or to the top five major conglomerates. Pacific Century's cross-border credit exposure in Thailand and Indonesia were $74.4 million and $21.1 million, respectively, at year-end 1997. In 1997, Pacific Century recognized charge-offs totaling $10.4 million in connection with Thai loans. The charge-offs that related to finance companies were largely based on a proposed workout plan that is being arranged by the Thai government to restructure these loans. After the charge-off, these loans totaled $17.6 million and were reported as non-accrual loans as of December 31, 1997. Pacific Century believes that it has prudently managed its exposure in Asia and has dealt with the known situations. However, because of the uncertainties inherent in Asia, it is difficult to accurately predict the impact of the turmoil in Asia on the economies of Hawaii and the U.S. Mainland, changes in currencies of Pacific region countries relative to the U.S. dollar, changes in interest rates, and changes in applicable U.S. and foreign regulatory and monetary policy. Moreover, it is not known what, if any, further impact there will be on Pacific Century's Asia exposure. ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT At Pacific Century, assets and liabilities are managed to maximize long term risk adjusted returns to shareholders. Pacific Century's asset and liability management process involves measuring, monitoring, controlling and managing financial risks that can significantly impact the Company's financial position and operating results. Financial risks in the form of capital adequacy, interest rate sensitivity, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and liquidity are balanced with expected returns to maximize earnings performance and shareholder value, while limiting the volatility of each. Capital Adequacy Pacific Century manages its capital level to optimize shareholder value, support asset growth, provide protection against unforeseen losses and comply with regulatory requirements. Capital levels are reviewed periodically relative to the Company's risk profile and current and projected economic conditions. Pacific Century's objective is to hold sufficient capital on a regulatory basis to exceed the minimum guidelines of a well capitalized institution. At year-end 1997, Pacific Century's shareholders' equity grew to $1.12 billion, an increase from $1.07 billion at year-end 1996. The source of growth in shareholders' equity in 1997 included retention of earnings, issuance of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan and various stock-based employee benefit plans, and shares issued to acquire CU Bancorp. Offsetting these increases were cash dividends paid of $49.7 million, shares repurchased of $142.5 million, and net unrealized valuation adjustments of $21.0 million. In December 1997, the Company's common shares outstanding were increased through a two-for-one stock split. All historical per share data in this report have been restated to reflect the stock split. 28 Pacific Century's regulatory capital ratios at year-end 1997 were: Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 9.34%, Total Capital Ratio of 11.65%, and Leverage Ratio of 7.21%. All three capital ratios exceeded the minimum threshold levels that were established in 1993 by federal bank regulators to qualify an institution as well capitalized. The minimum regulatory standards to qualify as well capitalized are as follows: Tier 1 Capital 6%; Total Capital 10%; and the Leverage Ratio 5%. There are certain financial and regulatory benefits of maintaining a well capitalized status. Financial institutions that are designated as well capitalized pay lower FDIC deposit insurance premiums and are subject to fewer regulatory restrictions on certain activities. Table 11 presents a five-year history of activities and balances in Pacific Century's capital accounts along with key capital ratios. In December 1996, Pacific Century completed a $100 million 8.25% Capital Securities offering that was issued through Bancorp Hawaii Capital Trust I, a newly organized grantor trust. The capital securities mature in 30 years and bear cumulative dividends at 8.25% payable semi-annually. Proceeds from this issue were used for general corporate purposes. These capital securities qualify as Tier I Capital for regulatory accounting purposes, but are classified as long-term debt in the statement of condition. In order to maintain its capital position at a desired level, Pacific Century has repurchased shares, over the past few years, under various stock repurchase programs. Under these programs, approximately 2.9 million shares in 1997 and 1.8 million shares in 1996 were repurchased. Pacific Century also purchases shares in the open market for use in employee stock-based benefit and dividend reinvestment plans. However, due to the uncertainties of the impact of the economic turmoil in Asia, share repurchase activities have been suspended. 29 EQUITY CAPITAL TABLE 11

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES Other Than Trading Activities In the normal course of business, elements of Pacific Century's balance sheet are exposed to varying degrees of market risk. Market risk arises from movements in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. A key element in the process of managing market risk involves oversight by the Board of Directors and senior management as to the level of such risk assumed by Pacific Century in its balance sheet. The Board reviews and approves risk management policies, including risk limits and guidelines and delegates to the Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) oversight functions. The ALCO, consisting of the Managing Committee and senior business and finance officers, monitors Pacific Century's market risk exposure and will modify balance sheet positions or direct the use of derivative instruments as market conditions dictate. Interest Rate Risk Pacific Century's balance sheet is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. This interest rate risk arises primarily from the Company's normal business activities of making loans and taking deposits. Many other factors also affect the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates. These factors 30 include general economic and financial conditions, customer preferences, and historical pricing spread relationships. A key element in the Company's ongoing process to measure and monitor interest rate risk is the utilization of a net interest income (NII) simulation model. This model is used to estimate the amount that NII will change over a one-year time horizon under various interest rate scenarios. These estimates are based on a large number of assumptions that include loan and deposit volumes and pricing, prepayment speeds on mortgage-related assets, and principal amortization and maturities on other financial instruments. While the assumptions are inherently uncertain, management believes that these assumptions are reasonable. As a result, the NII simulation model provides a sophisticated estimate rather than a precise prediction of the exposure to higher or lower interest rates on NII. Table 12 presents as of December 31, 1997, the estimate of the change in NII from a gradual 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, moving in parallel fashion over the entire yield curve, over the next 12-month period relative to what the NII would have been if interest rates did not change. The resulting estimate in NII exposure is well within the approved ALCO guidelines and presents a balance sheet exposure that is slightly liability sensitive. A liability sensitive exposure would imply a favorable short-term impact on NII in periods of declining interest rates. Pacific Century also measures the market value of equity (MVE) sensitivity to complement the results from the NII simulation model. The MVE model measures the net present value of all future cash flows for each asset, liability, and off-balance sheet position based on the implied forward yield curve. This model therefore, measures the exposure to interest rate changes for a longer period than the 12-months time frame of the NII simulation model. There are some limitations to the results from the MVE model. These limitations include factors such as the following: liquidity and credit risk are not considered in valuing the various on- and off-balance sheet positions; maturity and cash flow assumptions are made for indeterminate maturity assets and deposits; and future balance sheet changes from shifting customer preferences or discretionary management responses are not factored into this analysis. Table 12 presents, as of December 31, 1997, the estimate from the MVE model of the change in MVE from an immediate 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, moving in parallel fashion over the entire yield curve relative to what the MVE would have been if interest rates did not change. The resulting estimate in MVE exposure is well within the approved ALCO guidelines and, similar to the NII simulation results, reflects a balance sheet exposure that is slightly liability sensitive.

In managing interest rate risks, the Company uses several approaches, both on- and off-balance sheet, to modify its risk position. Approaches that are used to shift balance sheet mix or alter the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities include changing product pricing strategies, modifying investment portfolio strategies, or using financial derivatives. The use of financial derivatives, as detailed in Note O to the consolidated financial statements, has been limited over the past three years. During this period, Pacific Century has relied more on the use of on-balance sheet alternatives to manage its interest rate risk position. 31 Foreign Currency Risk Pacific Century's broad area of operations throughout the South Pacific and the Asian Rim has the potential to expose the Company to foreign currency risk. In general, however, most foreign currency denominated assets are funded by like currency liabilities, with imbalances corrected through the use of various hedge instruments as disclosed in Note O to the consolidated financial statements. By policy, the net exposure in these "other than trading" activities is insignificant. On the other hand, Pacific Century is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate changes from the capital invested in its foreign subsidiaries and branches located throughout the South Pacific and Asian Rim. These investments are designed to diversify the Company's total balance sheet exposure. While a portion of the capital investment in Tahiti and New Caledonia is hedged by a $43 million borrowing denominated in French Francs, as outlined in Note G to the consolidated financial statements, the rest of these capital positions are not hedged. Pacific Century uses a value-at-risk (VAR) calculation to measure the potential loss from foreign currency exposure. Pacific Century's VAR is calculated at a 95% confidence interval and assumes a normal distribution. The Company utilizes the variance/covariance approach to estimate the probability of future changes in foreign exchange rates. Under this approach, equally weighted daily closing prices are used to determine the daily volatility for the last 10, 30, 50, and 100 days. Pacific Century uses the highest daily volatility of the four trading periods in its VAR calculation. To estimate the potential loss in its net investment in foreign subsidiaries and branches, Pacific Century takes the daily volatility and annualizes it by multiplying by the number of trading days in a year. Therefore, the VAR determines the potential one-year loss within a 95% confidence interval of the net investment in subsidiaries. In other words, a loss greater than VAR has approximately a 5% probability of occurring. Table 13 represents as of December 31, 1997 the foreign currency exposure, as measured by the VAR, of the Company's net investment in subsidiaries and branch operations that are denominated in a foreign currency.

- -------- (1)Net of a $43 million borrowing denominated in French Francs. Trading Activities Pacific Century's trading activities include foreign currency and foreign exchange contracts that expose Pacific Century to a modest measure of foreign currency risk. These transactions are executed on behalf of customers and for the Company's own account. Pacific Century, however, manages its trading account such that it does not maintain significant foreign currency open positions. To measure the exposure of these open positions, the Company uses the VAR methodology described above. The VAR measurement for trading activities as of year-end 1997 continues to be immaterial. 32 CONSOLIDATED AVERAGE BALANCES, INCOME AND EXPENSE SUMMARY, AND YIELDS AND RATES (TAXABLE EQUIVALENT) TABLE 14

- -------- (1) Includes non-accrual loans. (2) Based upon a statutory tax rate of 35%. 33 Liquidity Management Liquidity is managed to ensure that Pacific Century has continuous access to sufficient, reasonably priced funding to conduct its business in a normal manner. The Company's ALCO monitors sources and uses of funds and modifies asset and liability positions as liquidity requirements change. This process combined with Pacific Century's ability to raise funds in money and capital markets and through private placements provides flexibility in managing the exposure to liquidity risk. A primary source of funding at Pacific Century comes from deposits. For 1997, average deposits increased to $9.3 billion from $8.2 billion for 1996. Table 22 presents the average deposits by category. The year-to-year increase reflects the positive impact from the acquisition of deposits by PCB during the first quarter of 1997 and Pacific Century's acquisition of CUB during 1997's third quarter. Pacific Century's balance sheet is unique given the high level of state and local government funding. Historically, these governmental entities have provided a stable source of funds. Over the years, much of this funding has been converted to Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (Repos). Repos are supported by the same type of collateral that supports governmental deposits, but are not insured by the FDIC. At year-end 1997, repos totaled $2.3 billion compared to $2.1 billion at year-end 1996 and $1.9 billion at year-end 1995. During 1997, Pacific Century issued commercial paper only in the Hawaii marketplace. To further enhance liquidity, Pacific Century also maintains access to the mainland wholesale commercial paper market through a pre- selected issuing agent. At year-end 1997 commercial paper outstanding totaled $104.9 million, compared to $69.7 million at year-end 1996. Pacific Century maintains a line of credit for working capital purposes. The line is for $35 million and is subject to annual renewals. Fees are paid on the unused balance of the line. During 1997, the line was not drawn upon. Bank of Hawaii, First Federal and First Savings are all members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (FHLB). FHLB provides these institutions with an additional source of short to intermediate term funding. At year-end 1997, Bank of Hawaii had outstanding debt to the FHLB of $65 million, as compared to $125 million at year-end 1996. First Federal and First Savings also decreased their borrowings from the FHLB to $238 million at year-end 1997 as compared to $273 million at year-end 1996. Borrowings from the FHLB are collateralized by mortgage loans and FHLB stock. Long term debt on December 31, 1997 totaled $0.7 billion, compared to $0.9 billion at year-end 1996, and $1.1 billion at year-end 1995. Certain amounts of the long-term debt were private placements, which totaled $150 million, $110 million, and $60 million at year-ends 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Pacific Century's access to such private placement counterparties enhances its balance sheet liquidity. In 1997, Pacific Century negotiated several private placement borrowings totaling $90 million. The proceeds were primarily used to finance the CUB acquisition. These borrowings were issued for a seven year term on a floating rate basis. Additionally, Bank of Hawaii maintains a $1.0 billion revolving medium term note program. Notes outstanding under this facility decreased to $25.0 million at year-end 1997 from $350.0 million at year-end 1996, and $849.7 million at year-end 1995. Moody's Investors Services and Standard and Poor's downgraded the long and short-term debt ratings of Pacific Century and its subsidiary, Bank of Hawaii on January 30, 1998 and February 4, 1998, respectively. Both rating agencies cited Pacific Century's exposures to Asian events as the primary reason for their downgrade. See International Operations section for further discussion on the Asia economic crisis. 34 Control of Net Overhead Pacific Century primarily utilizes the net overhead ratio and efficiency ratio to measure efficiency. The net overhead ratio is defined as non-interest expense to non-interest income (without securities transactions). In 1997, Pacific Century's net overhead ratio was 2.58, compared to 2.58 and 2.53 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The efficiency ratio is the percentage of non-interest expense to net operating revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income before securities transactions). In 1997, Pacific Century's efficiency ratio was 66.0%, compared to 65.3% and 63.6% for 1996 and 1995, respectively. A significant issue facing all banks nationwide that could have a large impact on expenses is the transition to the new millennium. Year 2000 concerns arise primarily from date coding practices in both software and hardware that used two-digit numbers, rather than four-digit numbers to represent years. If not corrected, systems that use the two-digit format will be unable to correctly distinguish the date after December 31, 1999. This problem could cause these systems to fail or provide incorrect information. Pacific Century has made the identification and resolution of Year 2000 exposures the top priority of the Company. A task force has been established to monitor, evaluate and manage the risks, solutions, and costs associated with Year 2000 issues. Pacific Century has developed a Year 2000 project plan that incorporates the following primary parts: identifying assets and systems that have Year 2000 exposure; assessing the size and complexity of the overall project and its parts; determining risks, priorities and resources; implementing solutions (e.g. rewriting program code, upgrading software and hardware, replacing systems, and obtaining vendor certifications); testing changes made to software and hardware; and formulating contingency plans. As of December 31, 1997, Pacific Century completed its identification process and has compiled a comprehensive inventory of assets and systems with Year 2000 exposure. In the process of accumulating this inventory, the size, complexity and required resources have been assessed for all critical systems. In Pacific Century's case, very few of its core systems (less than 25%) were developed internally. Instead, most systems were purchased from outside vendors. Therefore, Pacific Century must rely on these vendors to make the necessary modifications to their systems and provide a certification of the system's compliance with Year 2000 issues. Moreover, Pacific Century must review each vendor's Year 2000 software upgrade, incorporate customized software changes, if any, modify system interfaces, and perform validation testing to ensure that the system will operate properly in the year 2000. Although all Year 2000 issues are being addressed, the Company has identified its most critical systems and has established priorities to provide greater assurance that these systems will be Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner. Pacific Century's goal is to complete all Year 2000 changes for business critical systems by December 31, 1998. However, for a few systems that were purchased from outside vendors, the Year 2000 resolution will extend into the first half of 1999. While Pacific Century believes its Year 2000 project plan is designed to be successful in resolving all critical Year 2000 issues, it is possible, because of the scope and complexity involved, that not all of the potential problems will be satisfactorily completed in a timely manner. To mitigate this possibility, the Company is formulating contingency plans to assure an orderly transition to the millennium. Pacific Century initially estimated the total cost of its Year 2000 project in the range of $30 million. These costs include estimates for employee compensation, consultants, and software and hardware expenses. Year 2000 related costs are expensed as incurred and approximately $3.2 million was expensed in 1997. As the Year 2000 project progresses, the Company's cost estimate could change depending on a number of factors, including the failure of third party vendors to address Year 2000 issues in a timely manner. 35 Non-Interest Income For 1997, total non-interest income was $187.8 million, compared to $164.5 million in 1996 and $146.1 million in 1995. Non-interest income in 1997 increased 14.2% from 1996. The comparison of non-interest income between 1997 and 1996 is affected by the acquisitions of BDT and BHNC (May 1996), CUB (July 1997), and Bank of Hawaii (PNG), Limited (March 1997). For 1997, BDT and BHNC contributed $17.6 million in non-interest income compared to $12.8 million in 1996. CUB and Bank of Hawaii (PNG), Limited reported combined non-interest income of $5.5 million for the year. Table 15 presents the details of non-interest income for the last five years. Trust operations, electronic financial services, insurance and annuity sales, and brokerage sales continue to grow, although at varying rates. Trust income for 1997 totaled $52.2 million, up from $49.8 million in 1996 and $49.5 million in 1995. For the last two years, the growth rate has been affected by aggressive competition from non-Hawaii based asset management companies. During 1997, Hawaiian Trust Company, Limited was merged into Bank of Hawaii, and, in connection therewith, its name was changed to Pacific Century Trust (PCT). This merger provides synergism to grow both bank and trust products through coordinated marketing and packaged services. While trust income showed a 4.8% increase in 1997, total trust assets administered by PCT increased to $12.5 billion at year-end 1997, up from $11.4 billion at year-end 1996 and $11.2 billion at year-end 1995. Activity in Pacific Century's family of mutual funds has continued to grow, increasing to $2.6 billion at year-end 1997, from $2.2 billion at year-end 1996. Service charges on deposit accounts increased to $29.4 million, compared to $26.7 million in 1996 and $25.9 million in 1995. The acquisitions accounted for the increase between 1996 and 1997. Pacific Century regularly reviews its fee schedules (including exchange and service charges on deposit accounts) to assure competitive pricing and acceptable levels of profitability. Fees, exchange and other service charges increased to $67.1 million in 1997, from $58.9 million in 1996 and $47.3 million in 1995. Approximately $4.8 million of the increase was due to the acquisitions. Pacific Century's involvement in trade finance in Asia has steadily increased through its network of offices and branches in the area. Reflecting the continuing increase in international activity, fees for letters of credit, export bills, and acceptances increased to $11.1 million in 1997, compared to $10.1 million and $8.8 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Also, related to international activity, profits on foreign currency increased to $12.2 million in 1997, compared to $8.9 million in 1996 and $6.5 million in 1995. The recent financial and economic issues arising in Asia (see International Operations) have impacted currency exchange rates and may affect the level of future fee income. Mortgage servicing fees increased to $7.1 million in 1997 from $6.6 million in 1996 and $4.3 million in 1995. This increase reflects Bank of Hawaii's continued emphasis on residential mortgage lending and secondary market sales activities. Pacific Century's mortgage servicing portfolio grew to $1.7 billion at year-end 1997. Also included in fees, exchange and other service charges are fees earned through Pacific Century's ATM network. During 1997, Pacific Century expanded its ATM network, ending the year with 480 machines, an increase from 401 at year-end 1996. The fees generated by this network totaled $9.6 million in 1997, $8.6 million in 1996, and $7.7 million in 1995. The majority of Pacific Century's ATMs are located in Hawaii (403) with 30 in the Western Pacific, 24 in the South Pacific and 23 on the U.S. Mainland. ATM usage has increased steadily over the years averaging more than 1.9 million transactions per month in 1997, compared to more than 1.7 million transactions per month in 1996. Other operating income ended 1997 at $36.0 million, up from $27.7 million in 1996 and $21.0 million in 1995. In 1997, the acquisitions contributed $0.7 million in incremental fees. During the fourth quarter, a leveraged lease matured and the underlying equipment was sold. The sale resulted in a gain of $4.4 million and was recognized in other operating income. With a high level of recoveries recorded, cash basis interest totaled $3.7 million in 1997, compared to $2.6 million in 1996, and $1.3 million reported in 1995. The income recorded 36 as cash basis generally includes interest collected on loans written-off or interest collected on non-accrual loans that relate to prior years. Sales of investment securities in 1997 resulted in a net securities gain of $3.1 million (pre-tax), compared to net gains of $1.4 million and $2.5 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Non-Interest Expense Total non-interest expense for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $475.7 million, $421.3 million and $364.1 million, respectively. The incremental increase in non-interest expense due to the acquisitions was $32.4 million in 1997, including the amortization of intangibles. The largest component of non-interest expense is salary expense, which was $173.2 million, $159.2 million and $142.1 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Approximately $11.7 million of this increase is accounted for by the acquisitions (BDT and BHNC in 1996 and CUB, Home Savings branches, and Bank of Hawaii (PNG), Limited in 1997). Excluding the acquisitions, total salary expense would have increased 1.5% over 1996. Pension and other employee benefits expense for 1997 totaled $53.5 million, an increase of 9.6% over 1996's total of $48.8 million. Part of this increase is due to the acquisitions which were responsible for $2.1 million in pension and benefit expense for the year. Excluding the acquisitions, pension and benefit expense would have risen approximately $2.6 million in 1997, or 5.3% from 1996. Net occupancy expense for 1997 increased to $46.7 million from $39.4 million in 1996 and $41.1 million in 1995. The increase is partly due to the acquisitions. Additionally, during the fourth quarter, a five story building in downtown Honolulu was closed and demolished and its book value of $2.7 million was written-off. Taking the building out of service will save approximately $1.1 million in annual premises operating expenses. 37 Net equipment expense increased 13.2% over 1996. Net equipment expense was $38.5 million, $34.0 million and $31.7 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase results from the acquisitions, and also reflects Pacific Century's continuing investment in technological enhancements. Pacific Century's ongoing commitment to upgrade and improve its information systems continued in 1997. Also contributing to the increase were one-time costs associated with converting the computer systems of two subsidiaries. Other operating expense increased to $162.3 million in 1997 from $138.4 million in 1996 and $104.4 million in 1995. About $15.5 million of this increase was due to the various acquisitions. The comparison between years is also affected by a $2.8 million loss recognized in 1996 on the early termination of a leveraged lease. Legal and professional fees increased to $23.4 million in 1997 from $17.7 million in 1996 and $15.6 million in 1995. The increase was partly due to legal fees incurred in a lender liability suit for which a favorable verdict was reached in the fourth quarter. During the fourth quarter, partial recovery of legal fees was realized from an insurance policy. Further recovery is being pursued. FDIC insurance declined $5.3 million in 1997 to $1.5 million. The decline primarily results from a one-time FDIC special assessment of $5.0 million that was paid in 1996 by the Company's two thrift subsidiaries. Reflecting the acquisitions made in 1997 and 1996, the amortization of intangibles increased to $12.7 million for 1997, compared to $9.3 million for 1996 and $8.4 million for 1995.

INCOME TAXES The 1997 tax provision reflects a change in the effective tax rate to 36.0% from 34.5% and 37.1% in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The tax structure at Pacific Century is complex given the various foreign and domestic locations in which it operates. Pacific Century uses its municipal securities portfolio, low income housing tax credits and its leasing portfolio to manage its tax liability. The first two reduce the effective tax rate, while the leasing portfolio assists in deferring the payment of taxes. The tax-exempt securities portfolio continues to decline. For 1997, average tax exempt securities totaled $12.5 million, minimally impacting Pacific Century's effective tax rate. Low income housing credits are Pacific 38 Century's main vehicle for reducing the effective tax rate. In 1997, Pacific Century's low income housing credit investments decreased $1.7 million to $64.6 million at year-end 1997. Pacific Century's low income housing investments are predominantly in Hawaii. While low income housing investments provide an opportunity to reduce taxes and earn competitive yields, there are regulatory limits on the total investments an institution may hold. As of year-end 1997, the regulatory limit is 10% of Pacific Century's capital. For Pacific Century, that limit was about $110 million at December 31, 1997. Pacific Century also continues to pursue lease financing to defer tax payments. During 1997, the leasing portfolio grew 18.6% to $519.4 million at year-end with much of this activity in smaller traditional leasing transactions. There were no leveraged leases recorded in 1997. Pacific Century's tax planning is also structured to minimize the impact of the alternative minimum tax (AMT). At the end of 1997, Pacific Century was not subject to the AMT. FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS AND OTHER MATTERS Fourth Quarter Results Earnings in the fourth quarter of 1997 totaled $33.1 million, a decrease of 3.8% from the $34.5 million reported in the same quarter of 1996. Basic earnings per share were $0.41 and $0.43 in the fourth quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Diluted earnings per share were $0.41 and $0.42 in the same respective periods. Interest margin in the fourth quarter of 1997 was 4.17%, compared to 3.93% in the fourth quarter of 1996. The improvement was driven by acquisitions and the continued efforts to position the balance sheet towards higher yielding assets. Earning asset yields increased to 8.17% from 8.01% comparing the fourth quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The cost of funds rate decreased to 4.74% from 4.89% between the same periods. The provision for loan losses totaled $9.8 million in the fourth quarter, the highest amount for any quarter in 1997. The level of provisioning increased as gross charge-offs increased to $22.3 million during the quarter, which includes $10.4 million that relates to Thai loans. Recoveries were $10.5 million in the last quarter, the highest quarterly level reported in 1997. Included in the fourth quarter's results were the following non-recurring transactions. A gain of $4.4 million was recognized on a leveraged lease. A downtown office building was demolished resulting in a $2.7 million write-off of its book value. Forward-Looking Statements This report contains forward-looking statements regarding management's beliefs, estimates, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from those presented in such statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, economic conditions in the areas in which Pacific Century conducts its operations, fluctuations in interest rates, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, credit quality, and U.S. and foreign government regulations and monetary policies. Reengineering for a New Era On February 17, 1998, Pacific Century unveiled a comprehensive two-year reorganization and restructuring program to accelerate expense reduction and improve the Company's efficiency. The program will see the merger of First Federal Savings & Loan Association of America with Bank of Hawaii, the closing of approximately 25 branches in the State of Hawaii, and a comprehensive customer-focused redesign process to begin in 1999. At present the timing of these changes and their related cost and expenses (including intangibles) have not been determined. 39 Pacific Century recognizes that the competitive environment in the financial services industry has dramatically intensified. At the same time Hawaii's stagnant economy, coupled with economic turbulence in Asia, has inhibited the Company's attempts to significantly improve its financial results. Pacific Century must, therefore, become more efficient in the use of its resources to improve performance. Pacific Century has set a goal to lower (improve) its efficiency ratio to 55 percent by the end of year 2000. A 55 percent efficiency ratio is consistent with the Company's targeted financial objectives. This efficiency target is expected to be achieved by taking steps to reduce redundancy, enhance revenues and streamline operations. Through strategic alliances and rationalization of delivery channels in the State of Hawaii, Pacific Century expects to realize annualized expense reductions of approximately $25 million and a reduction of its statewide workforce by about 15 percent over the next two years. Pacific Century's restructuring program will culminate in 1999 with a comprehensive nine-month redesign process that will put the Company on track to meet its financial goals. Pacific Century has contracted with Aston Associates, a nationally recognized corporate redesign specialist, to orchestrate this activity. In the near term, the plan calls for First Federal, which was acquired by Pacific Century in 1990, to be merged with Bank of Hawaii (pending regulatory approval). First Federal branches will be consolidated into the Bank of Hawaii network, and up to 25 branches in Hawaii (approximately 25% of the combined First Federal and Bank of Hawaii total) will be closed over the next two years. Customer accounts will be consolidated into Bank of Hawaii's remaining 75 branches throughout the State. The Company has also implemented a hiring freeze in the State of Hawaii for 1998 and 1999. Subject to the approval of shareholders at the annual meeting in April, Pacific Century will reincorporate in the State of Delaware. The holding company will remain headquartered in Hawaii. Also in 1998, (pending regulatory approval) Pacific Century's U.S. Mainland operations will be merged into one nationally chartered entity, to be headquartered in California. California United Bank, acquired in 1997, and Pacific Century Bank, located in Phoenix, Arizona, will be consolidated under the name Pacific Century Bank, N.A. First Savings and Loan Association of America (Guam), First Federal's subsidiary in the West Pacific, is to become a federally chartered institution and a direct subsidiary of Pacific Century. It is hoped that the Hawaii and Asian economies will be reinvigorated very soon, but the Company cannot rely on these markets to rebound in the near term. Therefore, Pacific Century will move through 1998 and 1999 focused on expense effectiveness, efficiency gains and revenue enhancements, and doing what it can to support economic revitalization in the areas in which it does business. 40 CONSOLIDATED QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS TABLE 17

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA Consolidated Quarterly Results of Operations--Table 17 on page 41 and narrative on page 39. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Shareholders and Board of Directors Pacific Century Financial Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of Pacific Century Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Pacific Century Financial Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Honolulu, Hawaii January 23, 1998 47 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

- -------- (1) During the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, Pacific Century Financial Corporation made interest payments of $538,311,000, $479,701,000 and $467,937,000, respectively, and paid income taxes of $81,404,000, $75,471,000 and $45,462,000, respectively. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 51 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting principles followed by Pacific Century Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (Pacific Century), and the methods of applying those principles conform with generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial statements. Certain accounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. The significant accounting policies are summarized below. Name Change On April 25, 1997, the Company's name was changed from Bancorp Hawaii, Inc. to Pacific Century Financial Corporation (Pacific Century). The change was made to provide a more distinctive and descriptive identity that reflects Pacific Century's strategic goals to grow in Hawaii and throughout the Pacific region. Pacific Century's primary subsidiary, the Bank of Hawaii has maintained its name along with that of First Federal Savings & Loan Association of America. However, some of the Company's other subsidiaries have adopted names that correspond with Pacific Century. Organization/Consolidation Pacific Century is a bank holding company providing a broad range of financial services to customers in Hawaii, the Pacific, Asia and the U.S. Mainland. It is the largest bank holding company headquartered in the State of Hawaii. The majority of Pacific Century's operations consist of customary commercial and consumer banking services including, but not limited to, lending, leasing, deposit services, trust and investment activities and trade financing. The principal subsidiaries of Pacific Century are Bank of Hawaii, Bancorp Pacific, Inc. and California United Bank. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Century and its principal subsidiaries including all majority-owned entities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated and minority interests recognized in consolidation. Accounting Changes On January 1, 1997, Pacific Century adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 125 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities and establishes guidelines to distinguish transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. SFAS No. 125 requires that servicing assets and liabilities be recorded at fair value at the time loans are sold or securitized. The pronouncement also requires that servicing assets be evaluated for impairment by risk characteristics and are to be carried at the lower of capitalized cost or fair value. There was no material effect on Pacific Century's financial position at December 31, 1997 or results of operations for the year then ended from adopting SFAS No. 125. On December 31, 1997, Pacific Century adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 simplifies the computation and disclosure standards for earnings per share (EPS). The new pronouncement replaces primary EPS with basic EPS and fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock 52 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. In computing diluted EPS, SFAS No. 128 requires the use of the average share price for the period in determining the weighted average number of shares outstanding rather than the higher of the average market price or ending market price as was required under the prior standard. EPS for prior periods have been restated to conform with the presentation required by SFAS No. 128. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. The Statement requires that all items that meet the definition of components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement for the period in which they are recognized. SFAS No. 130 does not specify a specific format for reporting comprehensive income in financial statements, but requires that the amount representing total comprehensive income be displayed in the financial statements. Under existing accounting standards, other comprehensive income include foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires the restatement of financial statements for earlier periods. Its implementation will have no impact on Pacific Century's financial position or results of operations. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the reporting of financial information about operating segments in annual financial statements to stockholders, and requires certain selected segment information in interim reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have no material impact on Pacific Century's financial statements. SFAS No. 131 will become effective in 1998 and requires comparative information for earlier years. Acquisitions On July 3, 1997, Pacific Century acquired all of the outstanding common stock of CU Bancorp and its subsidiary, California United Bank (CUB), for a purchase price of $185,421,000, which consisted of $56,092,000 in cash and 2,318,000 shares of Pacific Century common stock. As of December 31, 1997, CUB operated 21 branches in Southern California and had total assets of $797,135,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the resulting goodwill of $100,700,000 is being amortized over 25 years on a straight-line basis. In March 1997, Pacific Century Bank, N.A. (PCB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Century purchased approximately $251,300,000 in deposits in Arizona from Home Savings of America. As a result of this purchase, PCB now has a combined total of ten branches servicing customers in Phoenix, Tucson and Yuma, Arizona. Pacific Century paid approximately $17,976,000 for the core deposit base, deposit premium intangibles and other items. In March 1997, Bank of Hawaii International, Inc. acquired 100% of Indosuez Niugini Bank, Ltd. in Papua New Guinea, for approximately $5.6 million. Indosuez Niugini Bank, Ltd. has been renamed Bank of Hawaii (PNG) Ltd. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, resulting in $3,328,000 in goodwill, which is being amortized over 15 years. At December 31, 1997 the Bank of Hawaii (PNG) Ltd. had approximately $80,325,000 in total assets. In May 1996, Pacific Century finalized its purchase of majority ownership in Banque de Tahiti (BDT), Bank of Hawaii-Nouvelle Caledonie (BNC), formally known as Banque de Nouvelle Caledonie, and two smaller finance companies for an aggregate cost of $60,500,000. After the acquisitions, Pacific Century's ownership in BDT increased to 92.4% from 38% and in BNC it increased to 91.5% from 21%. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method, and the resulting goodwill of $12,200,000 is being amortized over 53 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) 15 years on a straight line basis. Total assets of both BDT and BNC were $921,721,000 and $981,400,000 at year-end 1997 and 1996, respectively. In March 1995, Pacific Century acquired the remaining 20% of the shares of Banque d'Hawaii (Vanuatu), Limited. This residual acquisition, like the original 80% purchase of Banque Indosuez Vanuatu, Limited, in 1993, was accounted for using the purchase method. The goodwill recorded in this transaction was $1,100,000 and is being amortized over 15 years. The combined purchase price totaled $13.8 million. Total assets were $90,600,000, $89,500,000 and $74,200,000 at year-end 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In conjunction with these acquisitions, the following table discloses assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
1997 1996 1995 ---------- -------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) Assets Acquired............................. $1,239,616 $552,657 $14,127 Cash and Shares Paid for Capital Stock...... (209,023) (60,583) (1,786) ---------- -------- ------- Liabilities Assumed......................... $1,030,593 $492,074 $12,341 ========== ======== =======
In December 1997, Pacific Century entered into a definitive purchase contract to acquire Group Paribas' interest in Banque Paribas Pacifique (located in New Caledonia) and Banque Paribas Polynesie (located in French Polynesia). The purchase, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 1998, is subject to approval by regulators in France and the United States. Upon completion of this transaction at least 85% of the Banque Paribas Pacifique shares and 70% of the Banque Paribas Polynesie shares will be transferred to Bank of Hawaii International, Inc. or its subsidiaries. At December 31, 1997, total assets of Banque Paribas Pacifique and Banque Paribas Polynesie in the aggregate were $291,893,000. Advertising Costs The nature of Pacific Century's marketing programs generally do not include direct-response advertising. Pacific Century, therefore, recognizes its advertising costs as incurred. Credit Card Costs Pacific Century issues its own VISA and Mastercard credit cards for which all costs are recognized as period costs. In 1996, Pacific Century entered into certain arrangements with third parties to originate VISA cards in specific target markets. As of year-end 1997 and 1996, the unamortized capitalized origination costs totaled $1,611,000 and $3,740,000, respectively. These costs are being amortized over the anticipated life of the cards, currently five years. As cards are canceled, the unamortized costs are expensed. In 1997, capitalized origination costs totaling $1,606,000 were charged-off due to higher than expected levels of card cancellations. Cash and Non-Interest Bearing Deposits Cash and non-interest bearing deposits include amounts due from other financial institutions as well as in-transit clearings. Under the terms of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act, Pacific Century is required to place reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank based on the amount of deposits held. For 1997, 1996 and 1995, the average amount of these reserve balances was $135,697,000, $131,061,000 and $149,104,000, respectively. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilutive 54 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) impact of stock options and stock appreciation rights and uses the average share price during the period in determining the number of incremental shares to be added to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 there were no adjustments to net income (the numerator) for purposes of computing basic EPS. A reconciliation of the weighted average common shares outstandings for computing diluted EPS follows:
WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES -------------------------------- 1997 1996 1995 ---------- ---------- ---------- Denominator for Basic EPS................. 79,794,011 81,595,728 83,325,878 Dilutive Effect of Stock Options.......... 1,152,159 828,796 729,035 ---------- ---------- ---------- Denominator for Diluted EPS............... 80,946,170 82,424,524 84,054,913 ========== ========== ==========
On December 12, 1997, a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend was distributed to shareholders. Prior period average outstanding shares, stock options, and per common share data in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. Income Taxes Pacific Century files a consolidated federal income tax return with the Bank of Hawaii, Bancorp Pacific, Inc., and its other domestic subsidiaries. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the corresponding tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are calculated by applying enacted statutory tax rates and tax laws to future years in which temporary differences are expected to reverse. The impact on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the rate change is enacted. Deferred tax assets that will result in deductible amounts in future years are recognized if based on management's judgment, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Pacific Century's tax sharing policy provides for the settlement of income taxes between each relevant subsidiary as if the subsidiary had filed a separate return. Payments are made to Pacific Century by subsidiaries with tax liabilities, and subsidiaries that generate tax benefits receive payments for those benefits as used. For lease arrangements, that are accounted for by the financing method, investment tax credits are deferred and amortized over the lives of the respective leases. Intangible Assets and Amortization The excess of cost over the fair value of tangible assets and liabilities acquired (goodwill) arising from business combinations is being amortized using the straight-line method over various periods not exceeding 25 years. These intangibles are reviewed periodically for other than temporary impairment. The amortization of goodwill is included in other operating expense and totaled $12,668,000, $9,344,000 and $8,405,000 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As of December 31, 1997, the accumulated amortization totaled $55,533,000. Servicing assets are recognized when mortgage loans are originated and sold or securitized with servicing rights retained. The capitalized cost of servicing assets is amortized over the estimated life of the related loans. The fair value of servicing assets is estimated based on a review of servicing right values of loans with similar characteristics. An impairment analysis is performed on a periodic basis and includes a review of prepayment trends, delinquency and other relevant factors. For purposes of measuring impairment, servicing assets are stratified by product type. Impairment is recognized when the carrying value of the servicing assets for a stratum exceed its fair value. 55 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) Interest Rate/Foreign Currency Risk Management Pacific Century utilizes off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, primarily as an end-user in connection with its risk management activities and, to a lesser extent, as a service to accommodate the needs of customers. Most of Pacific Century's derivative transactions consist of interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts. Other derivative instruments may be employed, from time to time, but in the aggregate, these instruments generally are immaterial. Pacific Century utilizes interest rate swaps for purposes other than trading to manage its exposure to interest rate risks. Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements that generally require the exchange of fixed and floating rate payments based on specified financial indices and the underlying notional amount over the life of the agreements. The accrual method is used to account for interest rate swaps. Under this method, the differential between interest to be paid and received is accrued and recognized as an adjustment to interest income or expense of the designated asset or liability. The fair value of these agreements is not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in the fair value of swap contracts are not recognized as long as the hedge correlation continues to exist. If the hedge correlation ceases to exist based on effectiveness tests, any existing gain or loss is amortized over the remaining term of the agreement, and future changes in fair value are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. If the designated asset or liability matures, or is extinguished, any unrealized gain or loss on the related derivate instrument is recognized immediately. A foreign exchange contract is a commitment to exchange foreign currency at a contracted price on a specified date. These derivative instruments are used for purposes other than trading primarily for asset and liability management activities, and changes in the fair value of both the foreign exchange contracts and related assets or liabilities hedged are offset and not included in the financial results. Derivative instruments entered into for trading purposes consist of foreign exchange contracts that are used to offset foreign currency positions taken on behalf of customers and for the Company's own account. These derivatives are carried at fair value, and the associated unrealized gains and losses are recognized currently in the statement of income. International Operations International operations include certain activities located domestically in the International Banking Group, as well as branches and subsidiaries domiciled outside the United States. The operations of Bank of Hawaii and Bancorp Pacific, Inc. located in the West and South Pacific which are denominated in U.S. dollars are classified as domestic. Pacific Century's international operations are primarily located in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, French Polynesia and New Caledonia. Investment Securities Pacific Century adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as of December 31, 1993. Pursuant to the transition provisions of the FASB's Special Report on SFAS No. 115, Pacific Century transferred, in December 1995, $235,099,000 of investment securities classified as held to maturity to the available for sale category. The unrealized gains and losses relating to these securities were $2,082,000 and $2,491,000, respectively. The primary reason for selecting these securities for reclassification was to further enhance Pacific Century's flexibility in managing its investment portfolio. Investment securities held to maturity are those securities, which the Company has the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity. These securities are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion 56 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) of discounts. Restricted equity securities represent Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank shares, recorded at par, which also reflects fair value. In 1997 and 1996, there were no transfers from investment securities held to maturity. Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as an unrealized valuation adjustment in equity, net of taxes. The fair value of mortgage-backed securities is based on quoted prices. Trading securities are those securities that are purchased for the Company's trading activities and are expected to be sold in the near term. Securities in the trading portfolio are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses recognized currently in income. Trading securities were $2,374,000, $1,687,000, and $29,000 as of December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the net gain from the trading securities portfolio was $1,612,000, $823,000 and $623,000, respectively, and is recognized as a component of investment securities gains/losses in the income statement. Income from trading securities was $60,000, $16,000 and $323,000 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and is included as part of other operating income. The Company uses the specific identification method to determine the cost of all investment securities sold. Loans Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding. Interest income is generally recognized on the accrual basis. Net loan fees are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to yield. Pacific Century's policy is to place loans on non-accrual when a loan is over 90 days delinquent, unless collection is reasonably assured based on specific factors such as the type of borrowing agreement and/or collateral. At the time a loan is placed on non-accrual, all accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current earnings. Subsequent payments received are generally applied to reduce the principal balance. Other Real Estate Other real estate consists of properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings, acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, abandoned bank premises and loans for which possession of the collateral has been taken. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value based on current appraisals less selling costs. Losses arising at the time of acquiring such property are charged against the reserve for loan losses. Subsequent declines in property value are recognized through charges to operating expense. Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost less allowances for depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over lives of two to fifty years for premises and improvements, and three to ten years for equipment. Reserve for Loan Losses The reserve for loan losses is established through provisions that are charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the reserve for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the reserve. The reserve for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated future losses. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve is based on Pacific Century's 57 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on loans that may be susceptible to significant changes. In 1995, Pacific Century adopted SFAS No. 114. Under the standard, a loan is considered impaired when it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected. Impairment is measured based on discounted cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Prior to 1995, loan losses were based on undiscounted cash flows, the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans or other factors specific to the credit. Cash receipts on impaired loans generally are applied to reduce the carrying value of the loan. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgages and consumer loans are excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 114. Loans in these groups are evaluated collectively for impairment based primarily on the historical loss experience for each portfolio. Stock-Based Compensation Effective January 1, 1996, Pacific Century adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This standard permits companies to continue to use the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (APB No. 25). Pacific Century has elected to continue to use the intrinsic value method. The required disclosures under APB No. 25 and SFAS No. 123 for stock-based compensation plans are included in Note L to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 58 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) NOTE B--INVESTMENT SECURITIES The following presents the details of the investment securities portfolio:

Funds purchased generally mature on the day following the date of purchase. Commercial paper is issued by the parent corporation in various denominations generally maturing 90 days or less from date of issuance. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as financing transactions and the obligations to repurchase these securities are recorded as liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Condition.

Fees related to line were $34,000 in 1997. At December 31, 1997, other short-term borrowings consisted mainly of Foreign Call Deposits and Treasury Tax and Loan balances. Foreign Call Deposits generally mature in 90 days and bear interest rates that are reflective of rates on borrowings with similar maturities. Treasury Tax and Loan balances represent tax payments collected on behalf of the U.S. government that are callable at any time and bear market interest rates. A 5.63% Bank note totaling $150 million at December 31, 1996 matured in November 1997.

In December 1996, Pacific Century completed a $100 million offering of 8.25% Capital Securities (the "Securities"). The offering was issued by Bancorp Hawaii Capital Trust I, a grantor trust wholly-owned by Pacific Century. The Securities bear a cumulative fixed interest rate of 8.25% and mature on December 15, 2026. Interest payments are semi-annual. In addition, Pacific Century has entered into an expense agreement with the trust obligating Pacific Century to pay any costs, expenses or liabilities of the trust, other than obligations of the trust to pay amounts due pursuant to the terms of the Securities. The sole assets of the trust are Junior Subordinated Debt Securities (the "Debt") issued by Pacific Century to the trust. The Debt is redeemable prior to the stated maturity at Pacific Century's option. The Securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon repayment of the related Debt at their stated maturity dates or their earlier redemption at a redemption price equal to their liquidation amount plus accrued distributions to the date fixed for redemption and the premium, if any, paid by Pacific Century upon concurrent repayment of the related Debt. Pacific Century has issued guarantees for the payment of distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the Securities, but only to the 66 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) extent of funds held by the trust. The guarantees are junior subordinated obligations of Pacific Century. Distributions to Securities holders may be deferred for up to five consecutive years. During any such deferred period Pacific Century's ability to pay dividends on its common shares will be restricted. The Federal Reserve has announced that certain cumulative preferred securities, having the characteristics of the Securities, qualify as minority interest, which is included in Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies. In 1996, Bank of Hawaii borrowed the equivalent of $50 million USD in French Francs through a private placement. This debt has a fixed interest rate of 5.16% and matures in 1999. In 1995, Bank of Hawaii incorporated its existing medium term note program into a $1 billion revolving note program. Under the terms of this program the Bank may issue additional notes provided that at any time the aggregate amount outstanding does not exceed $1 billion. At December 31, 1997, there was a total of $24,991,000 outstanding under this program, all of which was classified as short-term. Privately placed notes issued by Pacific Century totaled $150 million at December 31, 1997. Notes totaling $90 million were issued in 1997. These notes carry seven year terms and bear floating interest rates which are tied to the three-month LIBOR rate. Notes totaling $60 million were issued in 1995. These notes carry three year terms, and bear interest rates from 6.08% to 6.48%. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances bear interest at rates from 5.240% to 7.996% and mature from 1998 through 2004. At December 31, 1997, loans totaling $345,654,000 were pledged to secure these advances along with all FHLB stock. The subordinated notes issued by Bank of Hawaii in 1993, bear a fixed interest rate of 6.875%. These notes mature in 2003. Capitalized lease obligations are for certain condominium units in the Financial Plaza of the Pacific. The lease began in 1993 and has a 60 year term. Lease payments are fixed at $7,000 per year until 2002; $605,000 per year from 2003 to 2007 and $665,000 per year from 2008 to 2012 and are negotiable thereafter. Long-term debt maturities for the five years succeeding December 31, 1997, are $188,000,000 in 1998, $128,190,000 in 1999, $38,875,000 in 2000, $21,000,000 in 2001 and $12,670,000 in 2002. Interest paid on long-term debt in 1997 totaled $57,144,000. NOTE H--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Certain of Pacific Century's consolidated subsidiaries (including Bank of Hawaii, Bancorp Pacific, Inc., and Pacific Century Bank, N.A., and California United Bank) are subject to regulatory restrictions that limit cash dividends and loans to Pacific Century. As of December 31, 1997, approximately $380,166,000 of undistributed earnings of Pacific Century's consolidated subsidiaries were available for distribution to Pacific Century without prior regulatory approval. Pacific Century is required to maintain minimum levels of capital to meet regulatory guidelines. For evaluating capital adequacy, the regulators require Pacific Century to maintain three capital ratios at specific minimum levels. Tier 1 Capital (common equity reduced by certain intangibles and increased for qualifying preferred shares and minority interests) expressed as a percentage of average risk weighted assets is the Tier 1 Capital Ratio. Total Capital (Tier 1 capital plus qualifying portions of the reserve for loan losses) expressed as a percentage of average risk weighted assets is the Total Capital Ratio. The third ratio is the Leverage Ratio which is Tier 1 Capital divided by average assets. The table below presents the minimum Capital levels that an 67 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) institution must maintain to qualify as "well capitalized" as it applies to Pacific Century and its subsidiaries Bank of Hawaii, Bancorp Pacific, Inc., Pacific Century Bank, N.A. and California United Bank. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act of 1991 (FDICIA) requires the federal banking regulators to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements and imposes certain restrictions upon banks which meet minimum capital requirements but are not "well capitalized" for purposes of FDICIA. Undercapitalized institutions are subject to regulatory monitoring and may be required to divest themselves of or liquidate subsidiaries. Critically undercapitalized institutions are prohibited from making payments of principal and interest on subordinated debt and are generally subject to the mandatory appointment of a conservator or receiver. Pacific Century, Bank of Hawaii, Bancorp Pacific, Inc., Pacific Century Bank, N.A. and California United Bank have all been notified by their respective regulators of their status as "well capitalized." The table below sets forth regulatory capital for Pacific Century and its depository subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996:

68 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) NOTE I--INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS The following table provides selected financial data for Pacific Century's international operations for the years ended:
1997 1996 1995 ---------- ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) International Average Assets.......................... $3,005,084 $2,752,642 $1,724,347 Average Loans........................... 1,540,294 1,253,695 745,948 Average Deposits........................ 2,074,103 1,672,734 994,102 Operating Revenue....................... 215,876 192,084 107,884 Income Before Taxes..................... 20,870 17,347 9,353 Net Income.............................. 10,243 8,082 4,805
Average assets include short-term interest-bearing deposits with foreign branches of U.S. banks and large international banks. On average, these deposits were $704,366,000, $584,622,000 and $648,473,000 during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. To measure international profitability, Pacific Century maintains an internal transfer pricing system that makes certain income and expense allocations, including interest expense for the use of domestic funds. Interest rates used in determining charges on advances of funds are based on prevailing deposit rates. Overhead is allocated based on services rendered by administrative units to profit centers. By the end of 1997, an economic crisis that first began in Thailand had spread throughout much of Asia. Many countries in the region experienced significant devaluation of their currency, as well as higher interest rates and a general tightening of credit. The tighter credit environment escalated to a liquidity crisis that required the intervention of the International Monetary Fund in South Korea, Thailand and Indonesia. At December 31, 1997, Pacific Century's cross-border exposure to South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia were $413.2 million, $74.4 million and $21.1 million, respectively. Given the inherent uncertainties and complexities related to the troubled economies in Asia, it is possible that the Company's estimate of the impact of these uncertainties on its operations may change. NOTE J--CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Pacific Century is a defendant in various legal proceedings and, in addition, there are various other contingent liabilities arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the disposition of these proceedings and contingent liabilities will have a material effect upon the consolidated financial statements. NOTE K--PROFIT-SHARING, RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS PLANS A deferred-compensation profit-sharing plan (Profit Sharing Plan) is provided for the benefit of all employees of Pacific Century and its subsidiaries who have met the Profit Sharing Plan's eligibility requirements. The Profit Sharing Plan provides for annual contributions based on a schedule of performance levels. The schedule establishes the percentage of adjusted net income to be contributed based on Pacific Century's adjusted return on equity. Participants in the Profit Sharing Plan receive up to 50% of their annual allocation in cash. The remaining amounts are deferred and may be invested in various mutual funds, including a fund that invests solely in the common shares of Pacific Century Financial Corporation. Pacific Century's contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan totaled $9,723,000 in 1997, $9,098,000 in 1996 and $7,629,000 in 1995. Effective January 1, 1996, the Profit Sharing Plan was enhanced with a company match of $1.25 for each $1.00 in 401(k) contributions made by qualified employees up to a maximum of 2% of the employee's 69 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) compensation. For 1997 and 1996, matching contributions under this plan totaled $2,882,000 and $2,671,000, respectively. In 1995, Pacific Century froze its non-contributory, qualified defined- benefit retirement plan (Retirement Plan) and excess retirement plan (Excess Plan) which covered salaried employees of Pacific Century and participating subsidiaries who met certain eligibility requirements. Benefits were based on years of service and an average of the five highest years of annual compensation. In freezing this Plan, all participants became fully vested and final benefits were determined as of December 31, 1995. In conjunction with the termination of the Retirement Plan, qualifying employees who were at least 50 years of age and had 9 years or more of eligible service were offered an early retirement option. The option provided for an extra 5 years of service and 5 years of age for benefit calculation purposes. In addition, the option also provided employees with $250 per month until age 65 to defray medical benefit costs. The early retirement option was elected by 340 employees, almost 75% of those eligible. The curtailment gain in 1995 for the Retirement Plan was $2,971,000 and the curtailment loss for the Excess Retirement Plan was $2,811,000. Additionally, qualifying employees whose combined age and years of service exceeded 60 as of December 31, 1995, were provided a transition benefit that allows for an increase for salary changes until the year 2000. Pacific Century's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that falls within the minimum and maximum range deductible for income tax purposes. Retirement Plan assets are managed by investment advisors in accordance with investment policies established by the Retirement Plan Trustees. Investments generally consist of marketable securities including stocks, bonds and money market funds. The Excess Plan is a non-qualified excess benefit plan which covers all employees of Pacific Century and participating subsidiaries who have met eligibility requirements. The unfunded Excess Plan recognizes the liability to participants for amounts exceeding the limits allowed under the Retirement Plan. The following table sets forth information regarding both the Retirement Plan and Excess Plan at December 31.

As of January 1, 1996, Pacific Century established a new defined- contribution money purchase plan under which it contributes 4% of compensation to employees meeting certain eligibility and vesting requirements. The money purchase plan has a one year eligibility requirement and a five year vesting period. Employees meeting these requirements as of January 1, 1996, immediately became participants. For 1997 and 1996, Pacific Century contributed $4,943,000 and $4,839,000, respectively, to the money purchase plan. Pacific Century's postretirement benefit plan provides retirees with group life, dental and medical insurance coverage. The cost of providing postretirement benefits are "shared costs" where both the employer and employees pay a portion of the premium. Most employees of Pacific Century and its subsidiaries who have met the eligibility requirements are covered by this Plan. Pacific Century recognizes the transition obligation over 20 years. Pacific Century has no segregated assets to provide postretirement benefits. The curtailment of the Retirement Plan and Excess Plan in 1995 also affected the postretirement benefit plan. A curtailment loss of $772,000 was recorded to reflect this change. The following schedule presents information regarding the postretirement liability and cost as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

(189) -- -- ------ ------ ------ Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost............ $3,403 $4,015 $3,605 ====== ====== ======
The following table presents the assumptions utilized to determine the expense and liability:
1997 1996 1995 ---- ---- ----- Health Care Cost Trend Rate............................. 9.00% 9.00% 15.00% Dental Care Cost Trend Rate............................. 7.00% 7.00% 7.50% Weighted Average Discount Rate.......................... 7.50% 7.75% 7.50% Rate of Increase in Compensation Level.................. 5.00% 5.00% 5.00%
The health care cost trend rate was revised in 1996 to 9% per year until the year 1999 and leveling to 7% thereafter. A one percent increase in this assumption (with all other assumptions remaining constant) would increase the service and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement cost for 1997 from $2,896,000 to $3,266,000. Additionally, a one percent increase in health care costs would cause the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation to rise from $27,747,000 to $30,457,000 at December 31, 1997. NOTE L--STOCK OPTION PLANS The Pacific Century Stock Option Plans (the Plans) are administered by the Compensation Committee which is composed entirely of non-employee directors. The Plans provide participants with the option to purchase shares of common stock at a specified exercise price beginning one year after the date the option was granted and expiring 10 years thereafter. The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the option was granted. The Plans also provide certain participants with stock options in tandem with stock appreciation rights (SAR). A SAR entitles an optionee, in lieu of exercising the stock option, to receive cash equal to the excess of the market value of the shares as of the exercise date over the option price. The Compensation Committee has limited the exercise of SARs to $1 million per year, allocated among the participants. The expense for the SARs recognized in the income statement was $1,000,000 in 1997 and 1996. In 1996, a Director Stock Option Plan was established that permits the Company to grant options for restricted common shares to directors and requires retention of such shares exercised throughout the service period as a director. The plan automatically grants annually an option for 1,000 shares to each Pacific Century director who is also a director of Bank of Hawaii and an option for 500 shares to directors who are only directors of Pacific Century or Bank of Hawaii. The exercise price is based on the closing market price of the shares on the date that the option was granted. Each option expires on the tenth anniversary date of its grant and is generally not transferable. If an optionee ceases to serve as a director for any reason other than death, the option immediately terminates and any restricted shares that were previously acquired are subject to redemption at a price equal to the market value of the shares at the time of grant. The 42,000 options outstanding under this plan are included in the table below. 72 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) The following information relates to options outstanding as of December 31, 1997:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 reclassified based on the tax returns as filed, are as follows:

For financial statement purposes, Pacific Century had deferred investment tax credits for property purchased for lease to customers of $5,620,000, $6,003,000 and $6,851,000 at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In 1997, 1996 and 1995, investment tax credits included in the computation of the provision for income taxes were $383,000, $848,000 and $467,000, respectively. The following analysis reconciles the Federal statutory income tax rate to the effective consolidated income tax rate:

For financial statement purposes, no deferred income tax liability has been recorded by Bancorp Pacific, Inc. for tax bad debt reserves that arose in tax years beginning before December 31, 1987. Such tax bad debt 75 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) reserves total approximately $18.2 million for which no provision for federal income taxes has been provided. If these amounts are used for purposes other than to absorb bad debt losses, they will be subject to federal income taxes at the then applicable rates. NOTE O--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK Pacific Century is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and interest rate options. To varying degrees, these instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statements of condition. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement that Pacific Century has in each class of financial instrument. The FASB has categorized certain of these off-balance sheet financial instruments that include foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps as derivative financial instruments. FASB has further categorized these derivative financial instruments into "held or issued for purposes other than trading" or "trading." Pacific Century's exposure to off-balance sheet credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss due to the failure of the counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. Credit risks associated with off-balance sheet financial instruments are similar to those relating to on-balance sheet financial instruments. Pacific Century manages off-balance sheet credit risk with the same standards and procedures applied to its commercial lending activity. Traditional Off-Balance Sheet Risk Instruments Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the terms or conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since commitments may expire without being drawn, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Pacific Century evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on an individual basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. The type of collateral varies, but may include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Pacific Century to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support borrowing agreements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Pacific Century holds cash and deposits as collateral on those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. Derivative Financial Instruments Held for Trading Foreign exchange contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of a foreign currency in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date at a specified price. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency rates. Collateral is generally not required for these transactions. At December 31, 1997, the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts held for trading totaled $427.6 million, with a fair value of $(6.8) million. Pacific Century uses foreign exchange contracts to offset foreign currency positions taken on behalf of its customers and for its own account. Pacific Century does not maintain significant net open positions in its foreign exchange trading account. 76 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) Derivative Financial Instruments Held or Issued for Other Than Trading At December 31, 1997, the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts held for other than trading totaled $406.0 million with a fair value of $15.7 million. Pacific Century uses these foreign exchange contracts primarily for asset and liability management activities. Pacific Century does not maintain significant net open foreign exchange positions in its other than trading account. Interest rate options, which primarily consist of caps and floors, are interest rate protection instruments that involve the obligation of the seller to pay the buyer an interest rate differential in exchange for a premium paid by the buyer. This differential represents the difference between current interest rates and an agreed-upon rate applied to a notional amount. Exposure to loss on these options will increase or decrease over their respective lives as interest rates fluctuate. Pacific Century transacts interest rate options on behalf of its customers and does not maintain significant open positions. Pacific Century utilizes interest-rate swaps in managing its exposure to interest-rate risk. These financial instruments require the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments based on the notional amount of the contract for a specified period. Pacific Century has used swap agreements to effectively convert portions of its floating rate loan portfolio to fixed rate. At December 31, 1997, $492.5 million of such "receive-fixed" swaps were in effect. Pacific Century's current credit risk exposure on interest-rate swaps is equal to the market value of these instruments plus or minus the market value of any collateral exchanged with swap counterparties. The aggregate credit risk of swaps at year-end 1997 was $1.6 million. The net market value of all positions at year-end 1997 was $(2.0) million compared with $(7.7) million at year-end 1996. Net expense on interest rate swap agreements totaled $(2.5) million, $(4.2) million and $(11.7) million for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The table below summarizes by notional amounts the activity for each major category of interest-rate swaps in 1997. Pacific Century had no deferred gains or losses relating to terminated swap contracts in 1997.

- -------- (1) Amortization was estimated by utilizing average prepayment speeds provided by various dealers in these instruments. NOTE P--FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet are as follows. When possible, fair values are measured based on quoted market prices for the same or comparable instruments. Because many of the Company's financial instruments lack an available market price, management must use its best judgment in estimating the fair value of those instruments based on present value or other valuation techniques. Such techniques are significantly affected by estimates and assumptions, including the discount rate, future cash flows, economic conditions, risk characteristics, and other relevant factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertain assumptions and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Many of the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used by Pacific Century in estimating fair values of financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term investments approximate the fair value of these assets. Investment Securities Held to Maturity, Investment Securities Available for Sale and Trading Securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. Loans: Fair values of loans are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows of pools of loans with similar characteristics. Loans are first segregated by type such as commercial, real estate, consumer, and foreign and are then further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate and loan quality categories. Expected future cash flows are projected based on contractual cash flows, adjusted for estimated prepayments. Deposit Liabilities: Fair values of non-interest bearing and interest bearing demand deposits and savings deposits are equal to the amount payable on demand (i.e., their carrying amounts) because these products have no stated maturity. Fair values of time deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used are based on rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. 78 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) Short-Term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, funds purchased, commercial paper, and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. Long-Term Debt: Fair values of long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings. Off-Balance Sheet Instruments: Fair values of off-balance sheet instruments (e.g., commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, commercial letters of credit, foreign exchange and swap contracts, and interest rate swap agreements) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing, current settlement values or quoted market prices of comparable instruments. 79 PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) The following table presents the fair values of Pacific Century's financial instruments at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

     In connection with any offering to stockholders, or any stock dividend, or
any other change in the capitalization of the corporation, or any merger of
consolidation, the Board of Directors may provide for the issuance of fractional
shares of the capital stock of the corporation, or the Board of Directors may
provide that no fractional shares shall be issued in connection therewith and

preferred stock or any series thereof.  The Board of Directors is authorized to
determine whether any of the preferred stock or any series of the preferred
stock of the corporation shall be convertible into shares of the common stock,
of the corporation, and to fix, before issuance, the terms and conditions with
or without limitations on which the preferred stock or any series of the
preferred stock shall be so convertible.

     The Board of Directors may authorize the corporation to issue, sell or
dispose of bonds, debentures, notes, certificates of indebtedness and other
obligations and securities of the corporation, convertible into common or
preferred stock of the corporation or into any form of other security (or not so
convertible), all upon such terms and conditions and with such limitations as
may be fixed by the Board of Directors.

                              BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     There shall be a Board of Directors of the corporation to consist of not
less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15) members.  No less than one-third
of the members of the Board of Directors shall be residents of the State of
Hawaii, and in the absence of such one-third membership the Board of Directors
shall not function.  The members of the Board of Directors shall be elected or
appointed at such times, in such manner and for such terms as may be prescribed
by the By-Laws which also may provide for the removal of directors and the
filling of vacancies and may provide that the remaining members of the Board of
Directors, although less than a majority thereof, may by the affirmative vote of
the majority of such remaining members fill vacancies in the Board of Directors,
including temporary vacancies caused by the illness of directors or the
temporary absence of directors from the city in which a meeting is to be held.
The directors need not be stockholders of the corporation.  The Board of
Directors shall have full power to control and direct the business and affairs
of the corporation, subject, however, to resolutions adopted by the stockholders
and to any limitations which may be set forth in statutory provisions, in these
Articles or in the By-Laws.  There may be an executive committee and such other
committees as the Board of Directors shall determine, each of which shall
possess and may exercise such powers of the Board of Directors as may be
delegated to it by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors, without the
approval of the stockholders of the corporation, or of any percentage thereof,
may authorize the making of donations referred to in paragraph (r) of Article V
hereof.  Directors, as such, shall not receive any stated salary for their
services, but by resolution of the Board of Directors a fixed sum reasonable in
amount, and expenses of attendance, if any, may be allowed for attendance at
each regular or special meeting of the Board of

 
Directors.

                                      VII

                                   OFFICERS

     The officers of the corporation shall consist of a Chairman of the Board of
Directors, a President, one or more Vice Presidents as may be prescribed by the
By-Laws, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and such other officers and assistant
officers and agents as may be prescribed by the By-Laws.  The officers shall be
elected or appointed, hold office and may be removed as may be prescribed by the
By-Laws.  The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be a director of the
corporation.  No other officer and no subordinate officer need be a director of
the corporation, and no officer need be a stockholder of the corporation. Any
two or more offices may be held by the same person.

     All officers and agents of the corporation, as between themselves and the
corporation, shall have such authority and perform such duties in the management
of the corporation as may be prescribed by the By-Laws, or as may be determined
by resolution of the Board of Directors not inconsistent with the By-Laws.


                                     VIII

                                   CONTRACTS

     No contract or other transaction between the corporation and any other
person, firm, corporation, association or other organization, and no act of the
corporation, shall in any way be affected or invalidated by the fact that any of
the directors or officers of the corporation are parties to such contract,
transaction or act or are pecuniarily or otherwise interested in the same or are
directors or officers or members of any such other firm, corporation,
association or other organization, provided that the interest of such director
shall be disclosed or shall have been known to the Board of Directors
authorizing or approving the same, or to a majority thereof.  Any director of
the corporation who is a party to such transaction, contract, or act or who is
pecuniarily or otherwise interested in the same or is a director or officer or
member of such other firm, corporation, association or other organization, may
be counted in determining a quorum of any meeting of the Board of Directors
which shall authorize or approve any such contract, transaction or act, and may
vote thereon with like force and effect as if he were in no way interested
therein.  Neither any director nor any officer of the corporation, being so
interested in any such contract, transaction or act of the corporation which
shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the corporation, nor any such
other person, firm, corporation, association or other organization in which such
director or officer may be interested or

 
of which such officer or director may be a director, officer or member, shall be
liable or accountable to the corporation, or to any stockholder thereof, for any
loss incurred by the corporation pursuant to or by reason of such contract,
transaction or act, or for any gain received by any such other party pursuant
thereto or by reason thereof.

 
                                      IX

                    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
                             EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS

     Section 1. As used in this Article IX, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

          (a)  "Employee" means each person who is or was a director, officer,
     employee, or agent of the corporation or who is or was serving at the
     request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of
     another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association, or
     other enterprise.

          (b)  "Costs" means expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments,
     fines, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any Cause of
     Action.

          (c)  "Cause of Action" means any threatened, pending, or completed
     action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
     investigative.

     Section 2. The corporation shall indemnify each Employee who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any Cause of Action (other than a
Cause of Action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that he is or was an Employee against Costs actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with such Cause of Action if (i) he acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation, and (ii) with respect to any criminal Cause of Action, he had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

     Section 3. The corporation shall indemnify each Employee who was a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any Cause of Action by or in the right of
the corporation by reason of the fact that he is or was an Employee against
Costs actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such Cause of
Action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

     Section 4. (a) To the extent that an Employee has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any Cause of Action or defense of any claim,
issue, or matter therein, the Employee shall be deemed to have met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 or Section 3 of this
Article IX and shall be indemnified by the corporation against Costs actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

          (b)  To the extent that an Employee has not been

 
     successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Cause of Action or
     defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Employee shall
     nonetheless be indemnified against Costs actually and reasonably incurred
     by him in connection therewith unless the tribunal, if any, in which such
     Cause of Action is or was pending upon application by the corporation
     determines that the Employee has not met the applicable standard of conduct
     set forth in Section 2 or Section 3 or this Article IX.  The termination of
     any Cause of Action by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
     plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a presumption
     that such applicable standard of conduct has not been met.

     Section 5. Costs incurred in connection with any Cause of Action shall be
paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Cause of
Action upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Employee to repay
the advanced amount if it is ultimately determined pursuant to Section 4(b) of
this Article IX that the Employee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation.

     Section 6. The indemnification provided by this Article IX shall (i) not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Employee may be entitled by any
bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise,
and (ii) continue to a person who has ceased to be an Employee and shall inure
to the benefit of his heirs, executors, and administrators.

     Section 7. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any Employee against any liability asserted against or incurred by the Employee,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the Employee
against such liability.  Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance
company, including an insurance company in which the corporation may have an
equity or other interest, through stock ownership or otherwise.

     Section 8. This Article IX shall be effective with respect to any Cause of
Action arising at any time from acts or omissions occurring prior to the date
this Article IX is amended or terminated.

 
                                       X

                     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS

     Section 1. A director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to
the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for any act or
omission of the director not performed in good faith, or which involves
intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, or which constitutes a
willful or reckless disregard of the director's fiduciary duty; (iii) for the
director's willful or negligent

 
violation of any provision of Chapter 415 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes
regarding payment of dividends or stock purchase or redemption; or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director received an improper benefit.

     Section 2. Any repeal or modification of this Article X by the stockholders
of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a
director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.


                                      XI

                               LIMITED LIABILITY

                     PACIFIC CENTURY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                          (As Amended April 25, 1997)


                                   ARTICLE I

                               OFFICES AND SEAL

          SECTION 1.01.  Offices.  The principal office of the corporation shall
be located at Honolulu, City and County of Honolulu, State of Hawaii.  The
corporation may have such other offices either within or without the State of
Hawaii as the Board of Directors may designate or as the business of the
corporation may require from time to time.

          SECTION 1.02.  Corporate Seal.  The corporation shall have a corporate
seal of such form and device as the Board of Directors shall from time to time
determine.  Duplicate seals may be kept and used as the business of the
corporation may require from time to time.


                                  ARTICLE II

                            STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS

          SECTION 2.01.  Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of the stockholders
shall be held at such place in Hawaii and on such date in the month not more
than thirteen months subsequent to the prior annual meeting of stockholders as
the Chairman of the Board or President shall designate for the purpose of
electing directors and an auditor and, subject to any requirements of law or of
the Articles of Incorporation or of these By-Laws with respect to notice, for
the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

          SECTION 2.02.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the
stockholders, to consider any business and/or nomination unless otherwise
prescribed by statute, may be called by the Chairman of the Board, by the
President, by a majority of the whole Board of Directors or, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, by a stockholder or stockholders.  At any special
meeting the business brought before and transacted by the stockholders shall be
limited to that specified in the notice of the meeting.  Special meetings of
stockholders shall be held at such place in Hawaii and at such time as shall be
designated in the call of the meeting.

          SECTION 2.03.  Notice of Meetings.  Written notice specifying the time
and place of the stockholders' meeting,

 
whether annual or special, and if a special meeting the general nature of the
business to be considered, shall be mailed not less than ten (10) nor more than
seventy (70) days before such meeting, postage prepaid, addressed to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting at his address as it
appears on the records of the corporation.  Non-receipt of such notice by any
stockholder shall not invalidate any business done at any meeting, either annual
or special, at which a quorum is present.  Any stockholder may, prior to, at the
meeting, or subsequent thereto, waive notice of any meeting in writing signed by
himself or his duly authorized attorney-in-fact.  Any previously scheduled
meeting of the stockholders may be postponed, and any special meeting of the
stockholders may be canceled, by resolution of the Board of Directors upon
public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of
stockholders.

          SECTION 2.04.  Quorum.  A majority of the outstanding shares of the
corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, represented in person or by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders, except that when
specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a
class, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall
constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such
business.  The Chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to
time, whether or not there is such a quorum, and, if less than a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting are represented at a meeting,
a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to
time without further notice.  No notice of the time and place of adjourned
meetings need be given except as required by law.  At such adjourned meeting at
which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted
which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.  The
stockholders present or represented at a duly organized meeting may continue to
transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough
stockholders to leave less than a quorum.  Any decision of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote represented at a duly
organized meeting shall be valid and binding upon the corporation except as
otherwise specifically provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these
By-Laws, or by the resolution of the Board of Directors creating any series of
preferred stock.

          The Chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall be the Chairman of
the Board, unless the Board of Directors shall by resolution prior to such
meeting designate another person as Chairman of such meeting.

          SECTION 2.05.  Voting.  At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder
may vote in person or by proxy

 
executed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-
fact.  Each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote
upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders; cumulative
voting shall not be permitted.  The holders of the outstanding shares from time
to time of the common stock and of any preferred stock which has voting rights
shall vote together on all matters referred to the stockholders, including the
election of directors; provided, however, that the foregoing is subject to any
provisions of law or the Articles of Incorporation or the resolution of the
Board of Directors creating any series of preferred stock requiring with respect
to any matter the approval or consent of the holders of any designated
percentage of the outstanding shares of stock of any class or any series of any
class.  All provisions of these By-Laws which specify or relate to the power of
the stockholders or to action which may be taken by the stockholders at or in
connection with a meeting thereof shall be interpreted as referring to the
holders of shares of voting stock of the corporation.  Elections of directors at
all meeting of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected shall be by
ballot.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or
these By-Laws, in all mattes other than the election of directors, the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by
proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the
stockholders.  At any meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the meeting shall
fix and announce at the meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing
of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at such
meeting.  Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, or
any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, may be
taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, shall be signed by all of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect
to the subject matter thereof.

          SECTION 2.06.  Business at Meetings.  To be properly brought before
any stockholders' meeting, business and nominations of persons for election to
the Board of Directors of the corporation must be (a) specified in the notice of
meeting given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board or the
President or a majority of the whole Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly
brought before such meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or
(c) otherwise properly brought before such meeting by a stockholder or
stockholders who was a stockholder or were stockholders, respectively, of record
at the time of giving notice provided for in this By-Law, who is entitled to
vote for the election of Directors at such meeting and who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in this By-Law.

          For business to be properly brought before any

 
stockholders' meeting by a stockholder or stockholders, the stockholder or
stockholders must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary
of the corporation and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for
stockholder action.  To be timely, a stockholder's or stockholders' notice shall
be delivered to or received at the principal executive offices of the
corporation not later than eighty (80) days nor earlier than ninety (90) days
prior to (a) in the case of a special meeting called by such stockholder or
stockholders, the date the stockholder has, or the stockholders have, as
applicable, selected for such special meeting, and (b) in the case of an annual
meeting, the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided,
however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than
thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary
date, notice by such stockholder or stockholders to be timely must be so
received by the Secretary of the corporation (i) not later than the close of
business on the later of the eightieth (80th) day prior to such annual meeting
or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the
date of such annual meeting is first made by the corporation and (ii) not
earlier than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting.  In the
event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of
the corporation is increased and there is no public announcement by the
corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of
the increased Board of Directors at least ninety (90) days prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's or
stockholders' notice required by this By-Law shall also be considered timely,
but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such
increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth
(10th) day following the day on which such pubic announcement is first made by
the corporation.  In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of
stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of
Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case
may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation's
notice of meeting, if the stockholder's notice required by this By-Law shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation
(i) not later than the close of business on the later of the eightieth (80th)
day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on
which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and
of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting
and (ii) not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day
prior to such special meeting.  In no event shall the public announcement of an
adjournment of a meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a
stockholder's notice as described above.

 
          A stockholder's notice to the Secretary of the corporation shall set
forth as to each matter that the stockholder proposes to bring before such
meeting (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for
election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person
that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of
directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (including such person's
written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to
serving as a director if elected); (b) as to any other business that the
stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before such meeting and the reasons for
conducting such business at such meeting of such stockholder and the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (c) as to the stockholder
giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf such
nomination or proposal of business is made (i) the name and address of such
stockholder, as they appear on the corporation's books, and of such beneficial
owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the securities of the corporation
that are beneficially owned by such stockholder and such beneficial owner; and
(d) any material interest of such stockholder and such beneficial owner in such
nomination and such business.

     Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such
business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been
brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
By-Law.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of the meeting shall,
if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that the nomination
or business that the stockholder proposes to bring before such meeting was not
properly brought before such meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedure,
and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting, and the
defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

          For purposes of this By-Law:

          (a)  "public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release
reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national
news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act.

          (b)  calculating the number of days elapsed between (a) the date on
which a notice is given and (b) (i) the date on which a special meeting is to be
held, (ii) the date that is the anniversary of an annual meeting, or (iii) the
date that is the

 
tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of
an annual meeting is first made, shall be made inclusive of dates between which
such calculation is made.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a stockholder
shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this
By-Law.  Nothing in this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of
stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation's proxy
statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders
of any series of preferred stock to elect directors under specified
circumstances.


                                  ARTICLE III

                                   DIRECTORS

          SECTION 3.01.  Number.  The number of directors of the corporation
(exclusive of directors to be elected by the holders of any one or more series
of preferred stock voting separately as a class or classes) shall be fixed from
time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the
whole Board.

          As used in these By-Laws, the term "whole Board" and "whole Board of
Directors" means the total number of directors which the corporation would have
if there were no vacancies.

          SECTION 3.02.  Classification and Election.  The Board of Directors
shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as the then total
number of directors constituting the whole Board permits, with the terms of
office of one class expiring each year.

          At the annual meeting of stockholders in 1983, the stockholders shall
elect three classes of directors:  four members of the Board of Directors for
terms of three years; four members of the Board of Directors for terms of two
years; and three members of the Board of Directors for terms of one year.
Thereafter, the stockholders at each annual meeting shall elect members of the
Board of Directors for each class for terms of three years to succeed those
members of the Board of Directors whose terms shall have expired.  Each member
of the Board of Directors shall hold office until the date of the annual meeting
of the stockholders in the calendar year in which his or her term of office
expires and thereafter until his or her successor is duly elected; provided that
no member shall be eligible for election or re-election as a member of the Board
of Directors after his or her 70th birthday and provided further that, effective
with members elected or re-elected subsequent to the

 
annual meeting of stockholders held on April 23, 1986, no member shall continue
in office past the date of the annual meeting of the stockholders that is held
subsequent to his of her 70th birthday.

          Any vacancies in the Board of Directors for any reason other than a
vacancy created by a member not continuing in office past the date of the annual
meeting of the stockholders that is held subsequent to his or her 70th birthday
may be filled only by the Board of Directors, acting by a majority of the
directors then in office, although less than a quorum, and any directors so
chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such
director shall have been chosen and until their successors shall be elected and
qualified.  In the case of a vacancy created by a member not continuing in
office past the date of the annual meeting of the stockholders that is held
subsequent to his or her 70th birthday, the stockholders at such annual meeting
shall elect a director to succeed such member, and any director so chosen shall
hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall
have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified.
No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of an incumbent
director.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by
law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of preferred stock shall
have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of
the corporation, the terms of the director or directors elected by such holders
shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders.

          SECTION 3.03.  Quorum.  A majority of the members of the Board of
Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any
meeting of the Board of Directors, but if at any meeting of the Board of
Directors there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of the directors
present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.  The
act of the majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is
present shall be the act of the Board of Directors unless otherwise provided in
these By-Laws.

          SECTION 3.04.  Meetings.  A regular meeting of the Board of Directors
shall be held without other notice than this By-Law immediately after, and at
the same place as, the annual meeting of the stockholders.  The Board of
Directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place, either within or
without the State of Hawaii, for the holding of additional regular meetings
without other notice than such resolution.  Special meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held at such times as the business of the corporation shall
require according to resolutions of the Board of Directors, or upon the call of
the Chairman of the Board, the President or a majority of the whole Board of

 
Directors.  The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the
Board of Directors may fix any place, either within or without the State of
Hawaii, as the place for holding any special meeting of the Board of Directors
called by them.

          SECTION 3.05.  Notice of Special Meetings.  Notice of any special
meeting shall be given by written notice delivered personally, first-class or
overnight mail or courier service, telegram or facsimile transmission, or orally
by telephone, to each director at his business address or residence.  If mailed
by first-class mail, such notice shall be deemed to be adequately delivered when
deposited in the United States mail so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid
at least five (5) days before such meeting.  If notice be given by telegram,
overnight mail or courier service, such notice shall be deemed to be adequately
delivered when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company or the notice
is delivered by the overnight mail or courier service at least twenty four (24)
hours before such meeting.  If by facsimile transmission, hand delivery, or
telephone, such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered if such notice is
transmitted, communicated by telephone or delivered by hand at least twelve (12)
hours before the time set for such meeting.  Non-receipt of any such notice
shall not invalidate any business done at any meeting at which a quorum is
present.  Any director, whether attending a meeting or not, may, prior to, at
the meeting, or subsequent thereto, waive notice of the meeting.  The attendance
of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting.

          Section 3.06.  Action by Consent of Board of Directors.  Any action
required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of
any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board
of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and
the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board
of Directors or committee.

          Section 3.07.  Conference Telephone Meetings.  Members of the Board of
Directors, or any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting of the Board
of Directors or such committee by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the
meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.

          SECTION 3.08.  Removal of Directors.  The stockholders of the
corporation may, at any special meeting called expressly for the purpose, remove
from office any director pursuant to applicable law.

          SECTION 3.09.  Powers of Directors.  The Board of

 
Directors shall have full power to control, manage and direct the property,
business and affairs of the corporation and to exercise all the powers and
perform all the acts which the corporation may legally exercise and perform.

          SECTION 3.10.  Notice of Director Nominations.  Subject to Section
2.03 and 2.06 of these By-Laws, nominations for the election of directors may be
made by the Board of Directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote for the
election of directors where such stockholder makes such nomination in conformity
with the provisions of Section 2.06 of these By-Laws.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                   EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND OTHER COMMITTEES

          SECTION 4.01.  Committees Exercising Powers of Board.  The Board of
Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the whole Board, designate
two or more of its members to constitute an executive committee and such other
committees as the Board of Directors shall determine, and during the intervals
between meetings of the Board of Directors, each of such committees shall
possess and may exercise any powers of the Board of Directors which are
delegated to it in such resolution by the Board of Directors.  The Board may
designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may
replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.  In
the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee or committees,
the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from
voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another
member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or
disqualified member.  Each such committee shall keep regular minutes of its
proceedings, and all action by it, and its minutes, shall be reported to the
Board of Directors at its next succeeding meeting for such action as the Board
of Directors deems proper.

          SECTION 4.02.  General or Special Committees.  The Board of Directors
may also create and appoint from its own membership or otherwise such general or
special committees, to which no powers of the Board of Directors shall be
delegated, as it deems desirable.

          SECTION 4.03.  Meetings of Committees.  A majority of any committee
may determine its action and fix the time and place of its meetings, unless the
Board of Directors shall otherwise provide.  Notice of such meeting shall be
given to each member of the committee in the manner provided for in Section 3.05
of these By-Laws.  The Board of Directors shall have power at any time to fill
vacancies in, to change the membership of, or to dissolve

 
any such committee.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Board or
Directors from appointing one or more committees consisting in whole or in part
of persons who are not directors of the corporation; provided, however, that no
such committee shall have or may exercise any authority of the Board of
Directors.

                                   ARTICLE V

                                   OFFICERS

          SECTION 5.01.  Generally.  The principal officers of the corporation
shall consist of a Chairman of the Board, a President, one or more Vice
Chairmen, one or more Vice Presidents, one of whom may be designated as the
Executive Vice President, a Treasurer and a Secretary, all of whom shall be
appointed annually by the Board of Directors at the first meeting after the
annual or special meeting of the stockholders at which the Board of Directors is
elected and shall hold office until the next annual meeting and thereafter until
their successors shall be duly appointed and qualified, subject, however, to
removal by the Board of Directors.  The number of Vice Presidents may be changed
from time to time by the Board of Directors at any meeting or meetings thereof
and if increased at any time the additional Vice President or Vice Presidents
shall be appointed by the Board of Directors.  There may also be one or more
Assistant Vice Presidents, Assistant Treasurers, Assistant Secretaries, and
other offices who shall be appointed by the Directors and the number thereof
shall be determined from time to time by the Directors.  One person may hold
more than one office.

          SECTION 5.02.  Vacancies.  Vacancies which may occur in any office,
and any newly created office, shall be filled by appointment by the Board of
Directors for the remainder of the term of such office.  In case of the absence
from the State of Hawaii or other temporary disability of any officer, the Board
of Directors may appoint a temporary officer to serve during such absence or
disability.  Any vacancy in an office appointed by the Chairman of the Board or
the President because of death, resignation, or removal may be filled by the
Chairman of the Board or the President.

          SECTION 5.03.  Removals.  The Board of Directors of the corporation
may at any time remove from office or discharge from employment any officer,
subordinate officer, agent or employee appointed by the Board of Directors or by
any person under authority delegated by the Board of Directors.

          SECTION 5.04.  Chairman of the Board.  The Chairman shall preside at
all meetings of the stockholders and Board of

 
Directors at which he is present, and shall perform such other duties and have
such other powers as the Board of Directors may prescribe.

          SECTION 5.05.  President.  The President shall preside at all meetings
of the Board of Directors and of the stockholders at which the Chairman is
absent.  Subject to the control of the Board of Directors, the President shall
have general charge and care of the business and property of the corporation,
shall appoint and discharge employees and agents of the corporation and
determine their compensation and shall do and perform such additional duties as
shall be prescribed by the Board of Directors.  When authorized by the Board of
Directors so to do, he may delegate to one of the Vice Presidents the whole or
any part of the general management and care of the business and property of the
corporation including the employment and discharge of agents and employees.

          SECTION 5.06.  Vice Chairmen.  The Vice Chairmen shall discharge such
duties and have such authority and powers as may be prescribed by the Chief
Executive Officer and such other special duties, authority and powers as may be
assigned to him or her by these By-Laws or by the Board of Directors
consistently with these By-Laws.

          SECTION 5.07.  Vice Presidents.  It shall be the duty of the Vice
Presidents, in the order determined by the Board of Directors, to assume and
perform the duties of the President in the absence or disability of the
President or whenever the office of President is vacant.  Each Vice President

SECTION 5.     ENDING VALUE OF CONTINGENT AWARD.
               --------------------------------
          5.01 The Ending Value of a Contingent Award shall be determined by
multiplying the Contingent Award (as a percentage) by the sum of the "Financial
Performance Value" and the "Individual Performance Value" as determined below in

Financial Performance Percentage of the Participation Level for the Participant.

          5.03 The Individual Performance Value is determined by multiplying the
Individual Performance Factor (as determined in accordance with Section 7) by
the Individual Performance Percentage of the Participation Level for the

6.02 Interpolation shall be made on a straight line basis as calculated by the Controllers Division. In unusual cases, either ROAA or Net Income may be above 1.12% and $158MM respectively. In no case will the Financial Performance Factor exceed 2.0. SECTION 7. INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE FACTOR. ----------------------------- 7.01 The Individual Performance Factor will be established based on individual performance. This step shall appraise each Participant's performance on his or her assigned job responsibilities in consideration of the economic and other circumstances with which each Participant had to cope during the Incentive Period. For this purpose, a Participant's performance appraisal will consider, but is not limited to: a. 1998 Individual Performance Objectives (see Attachment A). b. How well basic responsibilities were carried out. c. How well problems were anticipated and avoided or mollified. d. How well unanticipated problems were overcome. e. How well opportunities were identified and capitalized on. The scope of circumstances to be considered shall include economic conditions; cost considerations; political implications; revenue generation; public, governmental, customer relations; and the like. A Participant whose individual performance is evaluated as "Below Expectations" or "Unsatisfactory" will not be eligible for a payout under the conditions of the Plan (notwithstanding the Financial Performance Value determined in Section 6), and the Ending Value of the Participant's Contingent Award shall be zero. 7.02 The Chairman and the President shall recommend an Individual Performance Factor for each Participant to the Committee. Individual Performance Factors will range from zero to a maximum of 2.0. The Committee shall make the final determination of awards and reserves the right to add to or withhold all or any portion of an award at its sole discretion. SECTION 8. DETERMINATION AND PAYMENT OF AWARDS. ----------------------------------- 8.01 If the Ending Value of the Contingent Award as computed in accordance with Sections 5, 6 and 7 is zero, no payment shall be made, any Contingent Awards shall terminate, and all rights thereunder shall cease. 8.02 Subject to the provisions of Section 9 and Section 12 hereof, the Ending Value, if any, of the Contingent Award for each Participant shall be determined as per Sections 5, 6 and 7. The amount determined for each Participant shall be paid in cash in a lump sum (subject to withholding requirements, if applicable) as soon as practical after determination thereof. However, a Participant may make a request, on a form approved by the Committee, for the deferral of all or part of any payment he or she may receive, provided that such request is delivered to the Human Resources Division no later than November 1 of the Incentive Period. The Committee may accept or reject any such request for a deferral and may determine the conditions of such deferral at the Committee's sole discretion. SECTION 9. TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION. ---------------------------- 9.01 Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02 below, if a Participant does not remain continuously in the employ of the Holding Company or a Subsidiary until the expiration of the Incentive Period with respect to any Contingent Award, such Contingent Award shall terminate and all rights thereunder shall cease. 9.02 If the employment of a Participant with the Holding Company or a Subsidiary terminates during the Incentive Period due to his or her death, disability or Retirement, or if participation of a Participant under this Plan commences or terminates mid-term during the Incentive Period, the Committee shall determine the cash payment to be made with respect to such Participant under the following method: In the event of the Participant's death, disability, Retirement or mid-term termination of participation under the Plan, salary shall be the year-to-date actual salary annualized prior to the applicable event. In the event of the Participant's mid-term commencement of participation under the Plan, salary shall be the actual salary annualized subsequent to participation in the Plan. The Ending Value of the Contingent Award calculated under Sections 5, 6, and 7 shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full months of the Incentive Period during which Participant was an employee of the Holding Company or Subsidiary, and the denominator of which shall be 12. This calculation and the payment of any award necessarily must be paid after the termination of the Incentive Period in accordance with Section 8.02. SECTION 10. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF CONTINGENT AWARD. --------------------------------------- No Contingent Award shall be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise anticipated by a Participant, and during the lifetime of a Participant, any payment shall be payable only to the Participant. The Committee shall, if it so determines, adopt rules for the designation by a Participant of a beneficiary to receive cash payments, if any, that may become due pursuant to this Plan after the death of the Participant. SECTION 11. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. ------------------------------------ The Board or the Committee, may, at any time, terminate or at any time and from time to time amend, modify or suspend this Plan provided that no such amendment, modification, suspension or termination of the Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Contingent Award theretofore made under the Plan without the consent of the Participant. SECTION 12. CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR CONTROL. ------------------------------------ In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Holding Company, or a "Change in Control" of the Holding Company, the amount of cash payable with respect to any Contingent Award for an Incentive Period that will end after such event shall be determined and payable as if the Incentive Period ended on the date of such event and an Ending Value of the Contingent Award of two times the Contingent Award Percentage shall be used in calculating payments under this Plan, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan. All Contingent Awards shall be calculated based on the actual annualized salary for such shortened Incentive Period. The Ending Value of the Contingent Award calculated under this Section 12 shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full months of the Incentive Period, as adjusted under this Section 12, and the denominator of which shall be 12. The Ending Value of the Contingent Award under this Section 12 shall be paid to such participants within ten days of the end of the shortened Incentive Period. For this purpose, a "Change in Control" of the Holding Company means any one or more of the following occurrences: (i) Any person, including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Holding Company having 25 percent or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of Directors of the Holding Company; or (ii) As a result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, the persons who were Directors of the Holding Company before the transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company or any successor to the Holding Company.

          3.01 The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.

          3.02 The Committee shall be vested with full authority to make such
rules and regulations as it deems necessary to administer the Plan and to
interpret the provisions of the Plan.  Any determination, decision or action of
the Committee in connection with the construction, interpretation,

upon all Eligible Employees, Participants and any and all persons claiming under
or through any Eligible Employee or Participant, unless otherwise determined by
the Board.

          3.03 Any determination, decision or action of the Committee provided

of the Board shall at the time be, or shall theretofore have been or thereafter

SECTION 4.     CONTINGENT AWARDS.
               ----------------- 
          4.01 The Committee may, from time to time, in its sole discretion,
award to each Participant a Contingent Award.  The Committee shall cause notice
to be given to each Participant of his or her selection.

          4.02 The Contingent Award shall be an amount determined by multiplying
the Participant's salary by a percentage as determined by the Committee, which
percentage shall be no greater than the amounts set out in the table below.

 
                                                 CONTINGENT AWARD
          BANK OF HAWAII OFFICERS                AS A % OF SALARY
          -----------------------                ----------------
          Chairman of the Board/CEO                    70%
          President or Vice Chairman                   50%

          4.03 In any event, the maximum payout under this Plan shall be two
times the Contingent Award.  For example, if the Participant has a Salary of
$100,000 and the Contingent Award awarded to such Participant is 45%, the
Contingent Award is $45,000.  In this example, the maximum payout under this
Plan is two times the Contingent Award, or $90,000.

          4.04 For any Participant, assessment of individual performance may
result in a downward adjustment of the maximum award, or the entire elimination
of this award.  No upward adjustments based on discretion are permitted beyond
the maximum award for any Participant.  An adjustment under this Section 4.04
may be made prior to a final determination of the award under Section 6.

 
SECTION 5.     ENDING VALUE OF CONTINGENT AWARD.
               -------------------------------------
          5.01 The Ending Value of a Contingent Award shall be determined by
multiplying the Contingent Award by the Financial Performance Factor (determined
from the Performance Matrix in this Section 5).

          5.02 Performance Matrix:
 
=============================================== FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FACTOR ========================================================= R 1.03% 1.0 1.3 1.6 1.8 2.0 --------------------------------------------------------- O 0.98% 0.8 1.1 1.3 1.6 1.8 --------------------------------------------------------- A 0.93% 0.5 0.8 1.1 1.4 1.6 --------------------------------------------------------- A 0.88% 0.3 0.5 0.8 1.1 1.4 --------------------------------------------------------- 0.83% 0.0 0.3 0.5 0.8 1.1 ========================================================= $130MM $135MM $140MM $144MM $148MM NET INCOME ==============================================
5.03 Interpolation shall be made on a straight line basis as calculated by the Controllers Division. Proration will still be performed if at least one of these factors is within the range indicated on the Performance Matrix. The maximum Financial Performance Factor under all circumstances is 2.000. SECTION 6. DETERMINATION AND PAYMENT OF AWARDS. ----------------------------------- 6.01 If the Ending Value as computed and adjusted in accordance with Section 5 is zero, no payment shall be made, any Contingent Awards shall terminate and all rights thereunder shall cease. 6.02 Subject to the provisions of Section 7 and Section 10 hereof, the Ending Value, if any, of the Contingent Award for each Participant shall be determined as per Section 5. The amount determined for each Participant shall be paid in cash in a lump sum (subject to withholding requirements, if applicable) as soon as practicable after determination thereof. However, a Participant may make a request, on a form approved by the Committee, for the deferral of all or part of any payment he or she may receive, provided that such request is delivered to the Human Resources Division no later than November 1 of the Incentive Period. The Committee may accept or reject any such request for a deferral and may determine the conditions of such deferral at the Committee's sole discretion. SECTION 7. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. ------------------------- 7.01 Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.02 below, if a Participant does not remain continuously in the employ of the Holding Company or a Subsidiary until the expiration of the Incentive Period with respect to any Contingent Award, such Contingent Award shall terminate and all rights thereunder shall cease. 7.02 If the employment of a Participant with the Holding Company or a Subsidiary terminates during the Incentive Period due to his or her death, disability or Retirement, or if participation of a Participant under this Plan commences or terminates mid-term during the Incentive Period, the Committee shall determine the cash payment to be made with respect to such Participant under the following method: In the event of the Participant's death, disability, Retirement or mid-term termination of participation under the Plan, salary shall be the year-to-date actual salary annualized prior to the applicable event. In the event of the Participant's mid-term commencement of participation under the Plan, salary shall be the actual salary annualized subsequent to participation in the Plan. The Ending Value of the Contingent Award calculated under Sections 4, 5 and 6 shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full months of the Incentive Period during which Participant was an employee of the Holding Company or Subsidiary, and the denominator of which shall be 12. This calculation and the payment of any award necessarily must be paid after the termination of the Incentive Period in accordance with Section 6.02. 7.03 Any payout to pro-rated participants who enter the Plan mid-term will be based on the number of full months of participation. SECTION 8. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF CONTINGENT AWARD. --------------------------------------- No Contingent Award shall be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise anticipated by a Participant, and during the lifetime of a Participant, any payment shall be payable only to the Participant. The Committee shall, if it so determines, adopt rules for the designation by a Participant of a beneficiary to receive cash payments, if any, that may become due pursuant to this Plan after the death of the Participant. SECTION 9. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. ------------------------------------ The Board or the Committee, may, at any time, terminate or at any time and from time to time amend, modify or suspend this Plan provided that no such amendment, modification, suspension or termination of the Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Contingent Award theretofore made under the Plan without the consent of the Participant. SECTION 10. CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR CONTROL. ------------------------------------ In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Holding Company, or a "Change in Control" of the Holding Company, the amount of cash payable with respect to any Contingent Award for an Incentive Period that will end after such event shall be determined and payable as if the Incentive Period ended on the date of such event and a Financial Performance Factor of 2.00 shall be used in calculating payments under this Plan, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan. All Contingent Awards shall be calculated based on the actual annualized salary for such shortened Incentive Period. The Ending Value of the Contingent Award calculated under this Section 10 shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full months of the Incentive Period, as adjusted under this Section 10, and the denominator of which shall be 12. The Ending Value of the Contingent Award under this Section 10 shall be paid to such participants within ten days of the end of the shortened Incentive Period. For this purpose, a "Change in Control" of the Holding Company means any one or more of the following occurrences: (i) Any person, including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Holding Company having 25 percent or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of Directors of the Holding Company; or (ii) As a result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, the persons who were Directors of the Holding Company before the transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company or any successor to the Holding Company.

operate on the basis of the current Incentive Period.  This Plan constitutes the
current operating document for the administration of the Plan effective January
1, 1994, that was disclosed to shareholders and received shareholder approval on
April 27, 1994.  As such, the material terms of this Plan have been approved by
shareholders for purposes of the performance-based compensation requirements of
Section 162 (m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

measure performance of the Holding Company and to determine the Performance
Matrix for any Incentive Period, the Committee may, no later than 90 days after

share, growth in earnings per share, increase in Holding Company's common stock
price, total return to shareholders, growth in net income per employee, growth

award to each Participant a Contingent Award.  The Committee shall cause notice
to be given to each Participant of his or her selection.

          4.02 The Contingent Award that may be awarded to any Participant shall

table:


              HOLDING COMPANY/                        CONTINGENT AWARD
          BANK OF HAWAII OFFICERS                     AS A % OF SALARY
          -----------------------                     ----------------
          Chairman of the Board/CEO                          60%

          4.03 The Contingent Award shall be multiplied by the Participant's
average annual Salary for the Incentive Period.  In any event, the maximum
payout under this Plan shall be two times the Contingent Award.  For example, a
Participant with an average annual Salary of $80,000 might receive a Contingent
Award of 25% or $20,000.  In this example, the maximum payout under this Plan
would be two times the Contingent Award, or $40,000.

SECTION 5.     ENDING VALUE OF CONTINGENT AWARD.
               -------------------------------- 
          5.01 The Ending Value of a Contingent Award shall be determined by
multiplying the Contingent Award by the Ending Value Multiplier determined from
the Performance Matrix in Section 5.02.

 
          5.02 Ending Value Multiplier:

============================================= EARNINGS GROWTH RATE ======================================================= ROAE 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% ======================================================= 17% 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00 --------------------------------------------- 16% 0.82 1.07 1.32 1.57 1.82 --------------------------------------------- 15% 0.65 0.90 1.15 1.40 1.65 --------------------------------------------- 14% 0.48 0.73 0.98 1.23 1.48 --------------------------------------------- 13% 0.32 0.57 0.82 1.07 1.32 --------------------------------------------- 12% 0.16 0.41 0.66 0.91 1.16 --------------------------------------------- 11% 0.00 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 =======================================================
5.03 Interpolation between the points shown above shall be made on a straight line basis as calculated by the Controllers Division. The maximum Ending Value Multiplier under all circumstances will be 2.00. SECTION 6. CONDITIONS. ---------- The Chairman and the President shall prepare recommendations for the Committee. The Committee shall make the final determination of the Ending Value Multiplier and any awards, and reserves the right to add to or withhold all or any portion of any or all award(s) at its sole discretion. However, with respect to any Participant subject to the deduction limit of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, no upward adjustments based on discretion are permitted beyond the maximum award for the Participants. SECTION 7. DETERMINATION AND PAYMENT OF AWARDS. ----------------------------------- 7.01 If the Ending Value as computed and adjusted in accordance with Sections 4 and 5 is zero, no payment shall be made, any Contingent Awards shall terminate and all rights thereunder shall cease. 7.02 Subject to the provisions of Section 8 and Section 11 hereof, the Ending Value, if any, of the Contingent Award for each Participant shall be determined as per Sections 4 and 5. The amount determined for each Participant shall be paid in cash in a lump sum (subject to withholding requirements, if applicable) as soon as practicable after determination thereof. However, a Participant may make a request, on a form approved by the Committee, for the deferral of all or part of any payment he or she may receive, provided that such request is delivered to the Human Resources Division no later than November 1 of the Incentive Period. The Committee may accept or reject any such request for a deferral and may determine the conditions of such deferral at the Committee's sole discretion. SECTION 8. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. ------------------------- 8.01 Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.02 below, if a Participant does not remain continuously in the employ of the Holding Company or a Subsidiary until the expiration of the Incentive Period with respect to any Contingent Award, such Contingent Award shall terminate and all rights thereunder shall cease. 8.02 If the employment of a Participant with the Holding Company or a Subsidiary terminates during the Incentive Period due to his or her death, disability or Retirement, or if participation of a Participant under this Plan commences or terminates mid-term during the Incentive Period, the Committee shall determine the cash payment to be made with respect to such Participant under the following method: In the event of the Participant's death, disability, Retirement or mid-term termination of participation under the Plan, salary shall be the year-to-date actual salary annualized prior to the applicable event. In the event of the Participant's mid-term commencement of participation under the Plan, salary shall be the actual salary annualized subsequent to participation in the Plan. The Ending Value of the Contingent Award calculated under Sections 4 and 5 shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full months of the Incentive Period during which Participant was an employee of the Holding Company or Subsidiary, and the denominator of which shall be 36. This calculation and the payment of any award necessarily must be paid after the termination of the Incentive Period in accordance with Section 7.02. 8.03 Any payout to pro-rated participants who enter the Plan mid-term will be based on the number of full months of participation. SECTION 9. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF CONTINGENT AWARD. --------------------------------------- No Contingent Award shall be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise anticipated by a Participant, and during the lifetime of a Participant, any payment shall be payable only to the Participant. The Committee shall, if it so determines, adopt rules for the designation by a Participant of a beneficiary to receive cash payments, if any, that may become due pursuant to this Plan after the death of the Participant. SECTION 10.

To Our Shareholders:

     Pacific Century Financial Corporation has achieved continued improvement in
earnings by leveraging its pan-Pacific franchise and capitalizing on
opportunities for growth throughout its markets.  Your company's strategy of
geographic diversification has enabled it to overcome the challenges of Hawaii's
sluggish economy.

     At the end of third quarter, your company reported year-to-date earnings of
$106.3 million, up 7.8 percent from $98.7 million for the same period in 1996.
For the first nine months of this year, earnings-per-share were $2.63 as
compared to $2.39 at September 30, 1996.  Year-to-date return on average assets
was 1.01 percent and return on average equity was 12.94 percent.

     Earnings for the third quarter of 1997 were $35.3 million, up 12.5 percent
from the third quarter of last year and down slightly from the $35.6 million
reported for the second quarter of 1997.  In last year's third quarter, earnings
were lowered $3 million  (after tax) by a special Savings Association Insurance
Fund assessment.  Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.86 compared to
$0.76 for the third quarter of 1996 and $0.89 for the second quarter of 1997.

     On a tangible performance basis, earnings for the third quarter were $38.7
million compared to $33.5 million for the same period last year.  Tangible
earnings per share for the quarter were $0.94 compared to $0.81 for the third
quarter of 1996.  Tangible earnings provide a measure of financial performance
without the impact of items such as goodwill.

     Total assets stood at $14.9 billion at the end of the third quarter, an
increase of 7.9 percent from 1996's third quarter total of $13.8 billion.  Net
loans grew to $9.1 billion at September 30, 1997, up 9.7 percent from last
year's third quarter level of $8.3 billion and 5.7 percent above the second
quarter 1997 level.

     Pacific Century's recent acquisition of CU Bancorp and its subsidiary,
California United Bank (CUB), completed on July 3, 1997, boosted Pacific
Century's total assets by $776 million and loans by $443 million.  The quarter's
results also reflect the dilutive impact of 2.3 million shares of stock issued
relative to the acquisition of CUB.  The Mainland presence that CUB provides is
a cornerstone of our Pacific strategy and will serve as a platform for delivery
of financial services to clients across the Pacific from Asia to the U.S.
Mainland.

     Non-performing assets (NPAs) excluding loans 90-plus days

 
past due stood at $94.7 million or 0.99 percent of total loans at September 30,
1997.  Pacific Century's conservative credit culture together with CUB's
excellent credit quality are responsible for the improvement in this area.

     We are very pleased to welcome Mary Carryer who will join Pacific Century
Financial Corporation and Bank of Hawaii as vice chair this month.  Mary will be
a member of the company's Managing Committee, working closely with President and
Chief Operating Officer Richard Dahl; Vice Chairman and Chief Lending Officer
Alton Kuioka and myself.  She will oversee Pacific Century's Mainland operations
as well as the company's Information Management function.  A veteran of Westpac
Banking Corporation and Wells Fargo & Company, Mary brings more than 25 years of
financial experience to Hawaii.  Her experience at these two financial giants
spans the areas of corporate planning, international banking and trade
operations, trust and investments, and information management.

     Mary is a strategic thinker who has the ability to translate planning and
ideas into reality.  She has demonstrated a remarkable ability to leverage
technology to serve a broad and diverse customer base, and possesses a skill set
that will complement the strengths that currently exist within our Managing
Committee.

     Bank of Hawaii was recently recognized by the Small Business Administration
for reaching a milestone in its yearly activity of SBA lending.  For the fiscal
year ending September 30, 1997, Bankoh made 100 SBA loans, putting on the books
more than three times as many loans as the next most active SBA lender in the
district.  We are a strong supporter of small businesses, and our SBA
performance demonstrates our commitment to the thousands of small businesses
that are the life blood of Hawaii's economy.

     Your Board of Directors has declared a fourth quarter cash dividend on the
outstanding common stock payable at the rate of $.325 per share. The Board also
declared a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend.
The cash dividend and the stock distribution are both payable on December 12,
1997 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 1997.
The cash dividend will be paid on the "old" stock and not the stock distributed
pursuant to the stock split.

      We remain confident in the future of our franchise and optimistic in the
potential of our markets.  As we approach the 21st century, Pacific Century is
positioned to play a pivotal role in the greater Pacific regional economy.  We
count your support among our strongest assets.


Sincerely,
