Report of Independent Auditors The Board of Directors Bank of Hawaii and The Benefit Plans Committee Pacific Century Financial Corporation Profit Sharing Plan We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Pacific Century Financial Corporation Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Benefit Plans Committee. 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 the Benefit Plans Committee, 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998 and reportable transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1998 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 1998 financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP April 1, 1999

Pacific Century Financial Corporation Profit Sharing Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1998 1. Description of the Plan and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of the Plan The following description of the Pacific Century Financial Corporation Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan is a defined contribution plan for employees of Bank of Hawaii and certain subsidiaries of Pacific Century Financial Corporation and Bank of Hawaii, collectively (the Bank), who have fulfilled the Plan's participation requirements. The Plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure, fiduciary, vesting, and administration and enforcement provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). On behalf of the Bank as Plan Administrator, the Plan is administered by the Benefit Plans Committee. All assets of the Plan are held in trust by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, as trustee, and all benefits are provided by such trust fund. The participating employers make a profit sharing contribution on behalf of participants for each calendar year in an amount which is based upon Pacific Century Financial Corporation's profits for the year. The contribution varies depending on Pacific Century Financial Corporation's adjusted net income and adjusted return on equity. The amount of profit sharing contribution for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $4,693,504 and $5,291,225, respectively. Participants are allowed to contribute up to 7% of their eligible compensation to the Plan. However, annual additions attributed to participants' accounts are limited to certain maximum annual amounts, including those provided under the Internal Revenue Code ($30,000 for 1998 and 1997). The participating employers contribute matching contributions on behalf of participants each calendar quarter equal to $1.25 for each $1.00 contributed by participants up to 2% of the participant's eligible compensation. Matching contributions are made to the Plan by the end of the following calendar quarter. Participants are permitted to select among the following investment options in which contributions are to be invested: Pacific Capital Growth Stock Fund, Pacific Capital Growth & Income Fund, Pacific Capital New Asia Growth Fund, Pacific Capital Short-Intermediate U.S. Treasury Securities Unit Fund, Pacific Capital Diversified Fixed Income Unit Fund, Vanguard Wellington Fund, Vanguard Windsor Fund, 500 Portfolio of the Vanguard Index Trust, Short-Term Federal Portfolio of the Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund, Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust, and the Pacific Century Financial Corporation Stock Fund. Effective April 1, 1998, the portion of the Plan consisting of the Pacific Century Financial Corporation Stock Fund converted to an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). As an ESOP any cash dividends on Pacific Century Financial Corporation stock is passed through to the participants unless the participant elects against receiving the dividend. The cash dividend on shares of Pacific Century Financial Corporation stock paid as a dividend pass through is not treated as a distribution from the Plan, rather, it is accounted for as if the participant receiving the dividend was the direct owner of the shares of Pacific Century Financial Corporation stock. For participants electing not to receive the dividend pass through, the dividend is allocated to the participants' account as income and is invested in additional shares. Participants are fully vested in the Plan's assets allocated to their account. Withdrawals are permitted for participants demonstrating immediate and heavy financial need. Participants may borrow a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the present value of their account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer from (to) the investment fund to (from) the loan fund. Loan terms do not exceed 5 years unless the loan is used for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account or other security deemed to be sufficient by the Benefit Plans Committee and are made at a reasonable rate of interest. Principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions. No withdrawals or loans are permitted from the Pacific Century Financial Corporation Stock Fund. For termination of employment due to retirement (normal and early), disability, and death, a participant is entitled to receive an allocation of matching contribution and profit sharing contribution for the calendar quarter or calendar year, respectively, in which the participant terminates employment. Under these conditions, the participant's account is distributed as soon as practicable after the year-end allocations are made. However, the participant may make an election to waive this allocation and receive an immediate distribution. For termination of employment before retirement (normal or early), disability or death, the participant's account is distributed as soon as practicable. For all accounts under the Plan that exceed $5,000, a distribution can only be made if the participant consents in writing to such a distribution. Generally, all distributions from the Plan upon a participant's termination are made in a lump sum. In case of death, beneficiaries may elect to receive distributions as a lump sum or as an annuity contract. Participants may elect to defer distributions. In the event that the Board of Directors terminates the Plan, each participant's interest in the Plan will remain fully vested and non-forfeitable. The Board of Directors may require all participants and beneficiaries to withdraw such amounts in cash, in kind, in any other form, or any combination thereof, as it may determine in its sole discretion. Basis of Accounting The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. Use of Estimates 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. Expenses Fees paid to the Plan's trustee and other administrative expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Plan are paid by the participating employers. Brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of investments are paid by the Plan. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition Investments are stated at fair value. Shares of Pacific Century Financial Corporation stock are valued at quoted market prices. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year end. Units of the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust are valued at net asset value at year end. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The net realized gain and loss on investments that were sold during the year and the unrealized gain and loss on investments held at year end are reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits as net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments. The realized gain and loss on investments sold is computed using the average cost method. Contributions Contributions from employer and participants are accrued through December 31 in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid. 2. Investments The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust is a collective trust investing in investment contracts with selected insurance companies and commercial banks. The contract value of investment contracts generally approximates fair value and represents initial deposits, plus contributions and interest, less benefit payments. The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust allows for benefit responsive withdrawals by the Plan at contract value, subject to certain market value adjustments. The fair value of the investment contracts held by the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $23,860,000 and $22,757,000, respectively. The average yield of the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust during 1998 and 1997 was approximately 6.0% and 6.1%, respectively. Individual investments representing 5% or more of the Plan's net assets at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows: December 31 1998 1997 ----------------------------------------------- (In Thousands) Vanguard Wellington Fund $33,657 $30,070 Vanguard Windsor Fund 35,672 37,249 500 Portfolio of the Vanguard Index Trust 24,243 12,413 Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust 23,860 22,757 Pacific Century Financial Corporation Stock Fund 76,983 82,725 3. Transactions and Agreements with Parties in Interest The Pacific Century Financial Corporation Stock Fund invests in the $.01 par common stock of Pacific Century Financial Corporation. The Pacific Capital Growth Stock Fund, Pacific Capital Growth & Income Fund, Pacific Capital New Asia Growth Fund, Pacific Capital Short Intermediate U.S. Treasury Securities Unit Fund, and the Pacific Capital Diversified Fixed Income Unit Fund belong to a family of proprietary mutual funds advised by Pacific Century Trust, a division of Bank of Hawaii. The Vanguard Wellington Fund, Vanguard Windsor Fund, 500 Portfolio of the Vanguard Index Trust, and Short-Term Federal Portfolio of the Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund are mutual funds managed by an affiliate of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company. The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust is a collective trust managed by an affiliate of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company acts as trustee for the Plan's investments. 4. Income Tax Status The Internal Revenue Service has issued a determination letter dated May 10, 1997 stating that the Plan qualifies, in form, under Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and the underlying trust is, therefore, exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan is required to operate in accordance with the Code to maintain its tax qualification. The Benefit Plans Committee is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status. 5. Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits by Investment Option During 1998, the change in net assets available for benefits by investment option is as follows: Year ended December 31, 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pacific Capital Short Pacific Intermediate Pacific Capital Pacific Pacific U.S. Capital Growth Capital Capital New Treasury Diversified Vanguard Stock Growth & Asia Growth Securities Fixed Income Wellington Vanguard Fund Income Fund Fund Unit Fund Unit Fund Fund Windsor Fund - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (In Thousands) Additions Investment income $620 $378 $7 $11 $14 $3,733 $3,138 Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments 289 191 (147) 5 2 (124) (2,932) Interfund transfers 938 1,030 (177) 318 453 68 (3,051) Contributions: Participant 597 573 244 27 40 1,135 1,624 Employer 670 620 222 43 63 1,104 1,380 Other 30 37 58 3 7 108 108 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total contributions 1,297 1,230 524 73 110 2,347 3,112 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total additions 3,144 2,829 207 407 579 6,024 267 Deductions Distributions to participants (175) (159) (59) (2) (45) (2,433) (2,006) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net increase (decrease) 2,969 2,670 148 405 534 3,591 (1,739) Net assets available for benefits at beginning of year 1,813 1,323 1,176 41 15 30,927 38,483 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net assets available for benefits at end of year $4,782 $3,993 $1,324 $446 $549 $34,518 $36,744 ======================================================================================================================== Year ended December 31, 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Short-Term Federal Portfolio of Pacific 500 Portfolio the Vanguard Century Employee of the Fixed Income Vanguard Financial Stock Vanguard Securities Retirement Corporation Ownership Index Trust Fund Savings Trust Stock Fund Plan (1) Loan Fund Total - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (In Thousands) Additions Investment income $347 $166 $1,363 $557 $1,592 $302 $12,228 Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments 4,295 34 - (1,150) - - 463 Interfund transfers 4,632 1,287 (542) (4,240) (1,122) 406 - Contributions: Participant 2,352 117 1,297 552 - - 8,558 Employer 2,235 124 1,449 - - - 7,910 Other 264 21 61 - - 697 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total contributions 4,851 262 2,807 552 - - 17,165 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total additions 14,125 1,749 3,628 (4,281) 470 708 29,856 Deductions Distributions to participants (1,413) (1,078) (2,332) (3,457) (470) (290) (13,919) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net increase (decrease)12,712 671 1,296 (7,738) - 418 15,937 Net assets available for benefits at beginning of year 13,297 2,517 23,693 84,721 - 4,228 202,234 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net assets availabe for benefits at end of year $26,009 $3,188 $24,989 $76,983 $- $4,646 $218,171 ==================================================================================================================== (1) In 1998, the portion of the Plan consisting of the Pacific Century Financial Corporation Stock Fund converted to an employee stock ownership plan.

6. Year 2000 (Unaudited) A significant issue facing companies nationwide is the transition to the new millennium. Year 2000 concerns arise primarily from past date-coding practices in both software and hardware that used two digits rather than four digits to represent years. If not corrected, systems that use the two-digit format will be unable to correctly distinguish dates after December 31, 1999. This problem could cause these systems to fail or produce inaccurate information. The Plan's computer applications and systems are included in Pacific Century Financial Corporation's consolidated Project 2000 plan, a corporate-wide initiative to manage, coordinate and track Year 2000 compliance activities for Pacific Century Financial Corporation and all subsidiaries. All costs applicable to this project are paid for the Plan by Bank of Hawaii. Pacific Century Financial Corporation has disclosed that it is addressing all significant matters related to Year 2000 and expects all "critical" systems, including appropriate contingency plans, to be ready and meet federal regulations by the required due dates.
