              CAPITAL INVESTMENT OF HAWAII, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the report on SEC Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997 and the consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto in the Company's Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended October 31, 1996.
 
     In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
financial information contains all material adjustments required by generally
accepted accounting principles to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of October 31, 1997 and July 31, 1997, the results of its operations
for the three months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, and its cash flows for the
three months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996. All such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q or other
referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
 
 2. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share
and SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure. SFAS No.
128 simplifies the calculation of earnings per share and revises related
disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 129 consolidates existing guidance related to
an entity's capital structure. SFAS No. 128 is effective for interim periods and
fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not
permitted. SFAS No. 129 is effective for financial statements and periods ending
after December 15, 1997. The adoption of these statements is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity.
 
     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income
and SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of An Enterprise and Related
Information. SFAS No. 130 requires that changes in comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement. Comprehensive income is defined as all
changes in equity, including net income, except those resulting from investments
by and distributions to owners. SFAS No. 131 requires public companies to report
selected quarterly information about business segments, including information on
products and services, geographic areas and major customers based on a
management approach to reporting. SFAS No. 130 and 131 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997, although SFAS No. 131 need not be
applied to interim periods in the initial year of implementation.
Reclassification of financial statements for prior periods will be required for
comparative purposes. As these statements relate solely to disclosure
requirements, their implementation will not have an affect on the Company's
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged principally in the business of
acquiring, developing, leasing and dealing in real estate, investing in
securities, and wholesale business activities which are subject to various
factors which cause fluctuations between periods. Accordingly, the results of
operations for the three months ended October 31, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year and are not necessarily
comparable to the results of operations for the three months ended October 31,
1996.
 
  Income from Investments
 
     The decrease in income from investments of $6,570 for the three months
ended October 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 is primarily due
to the income from the sale of security investments of $91,700 for the three
months ended October 31, 1996 and nil for the three months ended October 31,
1997. This decrease was offset by an increase in interest income from the
Company's acquisition, development and construction (ADC) loans in Nevada and
Utah of approximately $77,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1997 as
compared to the same period in 1996.
 
  Other Income
 
     The increase in other income of $79,312 for the three months ended October
31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 is primarily due to the receipt
of the cash surrender value of officer life insurance policies which were
canceled by the Company.
 
DISCONTINUED WHOLESALE BAKERY ACTIVITIES
 
     Wholesale bakery activities include the production and sale of bakery
products primarily to major hotels, commercial airlines and U.S. military
installations in Hawaii. In October 1997, the Company entered into an agreement
to sell certain assets and liabilities of its subsidiary Latipac Fine Foods,
Inc. and to discontinue its bakery operations.
 
     The decrease in loss from discontinued operations of $36,962 for the three
months ended October 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 is due to
the decrease in operating and administrative expenses of Latipac Fine Foods,
Incorporated of approximately $47,000.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     At October 31, 1997, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of
$323,015. The decrease in cash of $474,499 for the three months ended October
31, 1997 is primarily due to cash used in operating activities.
 
     Included in cash used in operating activities for the three months ended
October 31, 1997 was approximately $421,200 of advances for the construction of
residential developments in Nevada and Utah. The Company's net loss of $238,180
is also included in cash used in operating activities.
 
     Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended October 31,
1997 includes proceeds from long-term debt of $159,705. Proceeds received on
loan participation agreements in the Company's loans to Pageantry Communities,
Inc. and Touchstone Development of Utah, LLC amounted to $406,061 for the three
months ended October 31, 1997 which were partially offset by $345,892 in
repayments on the participation loan agreements during the three months ended
October 31, 1997.
 
     The Company met its operating cash requirements for the three months ended
October 31, 1997 by using cash on hand at July 31, 1997 and proceeds from loan
participation agreements. Cash inflows and outflows from ADC loans in Copper
Bluffs, LLC, Sunset Bay, LLC, Red Rock Canyon, Pageantry Communities, Inc. and
Touchstone Development of Utah, LLC will continue throughout fiscal year 1998.
Cash requirements will continue to be satisfied from institutional borrowings,
loan participation agreements and net collections on ADC loans.
