PART
I



ITEM 1.    Business



Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trust I (the Trust) is
a statutory business trust formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act, as amended, pursuant to a trust agreement and a certificate of trust filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on December 19, 1996. The Trust Agreement was subsequently
amended by an amended and restated trust agreement dated as of February 1, 1997. The Trust exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing trust securities (the Trust Securities), consisting of 8.36% Trust Originated Preferred Securities (the Trust
Preferred Securities) and trust common securities (the Trust Common Securities), representing undivided beneficial ownership interests in the assets of the Trust, (ii) investing the gross proceeds of the Trust Securities in 8.36% Partnership
Preferred Securities (the Partnership Preferred Securities) issued by HEI Preferred Funding, LP (the Partnership), and (iii) engaging in only those other activities necessary or incidental thereto. The Trust has no employees.



Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (the Company) holds all of the Trust Common
Securities. The Company was incorporated in 1981 under the laws of the State of Hawaii and is a holding company with its principal subsidiaries engaged in the electric utility, banking and other businesses operating primarily in the State of Hawaii.
The Companys predecessor, Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (HECO), was incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Hawaii (now the State of Hawaii) on October 13, 1891. As a result of a 1983 corporate reorganization, HECO became a subsidiary
of the Company, and common shareholders of HECO became common shareholders of the Company. The Company (File No. 1-8503) is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thus files reports, proxy
statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.



The Partnership is a limited partnership formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended, pursuant to an agreement of limited partnership and the filing of a certificate of limited partnership with the
Secretary of State of Delaware on December 23, 1996, which was subsequently amended by an amended and restated agreement of limited partnership dated as of February 1, 1997. Hycap Management, Inc. (Hycap), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
is the sole general partner of the Partnership. The Partnership is managed by the general partner and exists for the exclusive purposes of (a) purchasing certain eligible debt instruments of the Company and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the
Company (collectively, the Affiliate Investment Instruments) and certain U.S. government obligations and commercial paper of unaffiliated entities (Eligible Debt Securities) with the proceeds from (i) the sale of its Partnership Preferred
Securities, representing limited partner interests in the Partnership, to the Trust and (ii) a capital contribution in exchange for the general partner interest in the Partnership, (b) receiving interest and other payments on the Affiliate
Investment Instruments and Eligible Debt Securities held by the Partnership from time to time, (c) making distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities and distributions on the general partner interest in the Partnership if, as, and when
declared by the general partner in its sole discretion, (d) subject to the restrictions and conditions contained in the agreement of limited partnership, making additional investments in Affiliate Investment Instruments and Eligible Debt Securities
and disposing of any such investments, and (e) except as otherwise limited in the agreement of limited partnership, entering into, making and performing all contracts and other undertakings, and engaging in those activities and transactions as the
general partner deems necessary or advisable for carrying out the purposes of the Partnership.



The Trusts activities are limited to issuing securities and investing the proceeds as described above. Since the Trust was organized on December 19, 1996, its activities, as specified in its
declaration of trust, have been limited to the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities, the investing of the proceeds in the Partnership Preferred Securities, and the payment of distributions on the Trust Preferred
Securities and the Trust Common Securities in accordance with their terms. All of the foregoing activities of the Trust occurred in or after February 1997.

Supplement dated January 29, 1997, of the Trust and the Partnership is incorporated by reference herein.



ITEM 2.    Properties



None.



ITEM
3.    Legal Proceedings



The
Registrant knows of no legal proceedings involving the Trust or its assets.



ITEM 4.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders



During the fourth quarter of 2002, no matter was submitted to a vote of holders of any securities of the Trust.



PART II



ITEM 5.    Market for Registrants Common
Equity and Related Stockholder Matters



(a)    There is no established public market for the Trust Common Securities.



(b)    All the Trust Common Securities are, and since the formation of the Registrant have been, owned by the Company.



(c)    The Company, as holder of the Trust Common
Securities, is entitled to receive cumulative cash distributions accumulating from February 4, 1997 and payable quarterly in arrears on each March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30, commencing March 30, 1997, at an annual rate of 8.36% of
the liquidation amount of the Trust Common Securities. Distributions not paid on the scheduled payment date will accumulate and compound quarterly at a rate per annum equal to 8.36%. All distributions have been paid as scheduled and without
accumulation and the Registrant currently expects that comparable cash distributions will continue to be paid in the future. The distributions declared and paid on the Trust Common Securities for the four quarters of 2002 and 2001 were $64,643.70
per quarter.



ITEM 6.    Selected
Financial Data



The Registrants activities are
limited to issuing securities and investing the proceeds as described in Item 1. Business, above. Accordingly, the financial statements included herein in response to Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, are
incorporated by reference in response to this item.

ITEM 7.  
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



The Registrants activities are limited to issuing securities and investing the proceeds as described in Item 1.
Business, above.



Since the Trust was
organized on December 19, 1996, its activities, as specified in its declaration of trust, have been limited to the issuance and sale in February 1997 of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities, the investing of the proceeds
from such sales in the aggregate amount of $103,093,000 in the Partnership Preferred Securities, the receipt of distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities and the payment of distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust
Common Securities in accordance with their terms. During 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Trust received distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities in the full amount of its distribution preference, without accumulation, aggregating $8,619,000,
and in turn made distributions to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities in the aggregate amount of $8,360,000 and to the holders of the Trust Common Securities in the amount of $259,000.



Substantially all expenses of organizing the Trust, carrying
out the issuance of its securities, and conducting its limited activities during 2002, 2001 and 2000 were borne by the Company, either directly or through Hycap, its wholly owned subsidiary.



ITEM 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about
Market Risk



In February 1997, the Trust
invested the gross proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities in the Partnership Preferred Securities. This investment is accounted for under the equity method. The Partnership, in turn, invested the
proceeds from the sale of the Partnership Preferred Securities and a capital contribution from Hycap in the Affiliate Investment Instruments and Eligible Debt Securities. To the extent the Partnership has funds available from the Affiliate
Investment Instruments and Eligible Debt Securities, the general partner of the Partnership may declare and pay distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities to the Trust, which is the sole holder of the Partnership Preferred Securities. The
Trusts ability to pay distributions to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities is dependent on its receipt of distributions on the Partnership Preferred Securities from the Partnership. The Partnership distributions are in turn dependent
on the receipt of payments from the Affiliate Investment Instruments and Eligible Debt Securities. The principal risk to the Trust is thus the credit risk associated with the Affiliate Investment Instruments.



ITEM 8.   Financial Statements and Supplementary Data



In response to this Item 8, the financial
statements and notes thereto and the independent auditors report set forth on pages F-2 through F-6 are incorporated by reference herein.



ITEM 9.   Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure



None.

Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trust I

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



---

(1) Organization and purpose



Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trust I (the Trust) is a statutory business trust formed under the laws of the State of
Delaware on December 19, 1996 for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing its 8.36% Trust Originated Preferred Securities (TOPrS) and its 8.36% Common Securities (the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities, respectively), (ii)
purchasing the 8.36% Partnership Preferred Securities (the Partnership Preferred Securities), representing the limited partner interests in HEI Preferred Funding, LP (the Partnership), with the proceeds from the sale of Trust Preferred Securities
and Trust Common Securities, and (iii) engaging in only those other activities necessary or incidental thereto.



Hycap Management, Inc. (Hycap), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (the Company) and sole general partner of the Partnership, paid compensation to the underwriters in
connection with the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities, which closed on February 4, 1997. The Company or Hycap paid all expenses relating to the issuance of the securities and the operation of the Trust. Thus, these expenses of the Trust are
not reflected on the Trusts financial statements. The Company has agreed to (i) pay all fees and expenses related to the organization and operations of the Trust (including taxes, duties, assessments, or government charges of whatever nature
(other than withholding taxes) imposed by the United States or any other domestic taxing authority upon the Trust) and the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities, (ii) be responsible for all debts and other obligations of the Trust (other than
with respect to the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities) and (iii) indemnify the trustees and certain other persons. The Company has invested capital in Hycap as needed.



(2) Summary of significant accounting policies



Basis of presentation



The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the Trusts financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of earnings for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.



The Trust was formed under Delaware law on December 19, 1996, but engaged in
no activity until it was capitalized through the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust Common Securities on February 4, 1997 (inception) with the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities and the Common Securities.



Investment



The investment in Partnership Preferred Securities represents limited partner
interests in the Partnership and is accounted for under the equity method.



Income taxes



The Trust does not
incur any income tax liabilities. Such liabilities are incurred directly by the security holders.

(3)  
Investment in Partnership Preferred Securities



The
Trust holds 4,123,720 8.36% Partnership Preferred Securities, $25 liquidation preference per security. The scheduled distribution payment dates and redemption provisions of the Partnership Preferred Securities, which are redeemable on or after
February 4, 2002 at the option of the Partnership, correspond to the distribution payment dates and redemption provisions of the Trust Preferred Securities. Upon any redemption of the Partnership Preferred Securities, the Trust Preferred Securities
will be redeemed. The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, the payment of distributions by the Partnership on the Partnership Preferred Securities if, as, and when declared by the general partner of the Partnership out of funds legally
available therefor, and payments upon liquidation of the Partnership or the redemption of the Partnership Preferred Securities to the extent the Partnership has funds legally available therefor. At December 31, 2002, Partnership assets consisted
primarily of cash and cash equivalents ($1.2 million) and investments in debt instruments issued by the Company and its subsidiary ($120.1 million). These assets were funded by the general partner ($18.2 million) and limited partner ($103.1
million). Partnership activity during 2002 included interest income on the previously mentioned cash and cash equivalents and debt instruments ($10.1 million) and distributions on the limited partner ($8.6 million) and general partner ($1.5 million)
interests.



(4)   Stockholders equity



Trust Preferred Securities



The Trust issued 4,000,000 8.36% Trust Preferred Securities, $25 liquidation
amount per security, in a public offering which closed on February 4, 1997 for an aggregate purchase price of $100 million. The Company or Hycap paid all the expenses of the offering. The Trust Preferred Securities are redeemable on or after
February 4, 2002 at the option of the Trust, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to $25 per security. Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities shall be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice of such redemption.
Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly if, as, and when the Trust has funds available for payment. Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities have limited voting rights
and are not entitled to vote, to appoint, remove or replace, or to increase or decrease the number of trustees, which voting rights are vested exclusively in the holder of the Trust Common Securities. Under certain circumstances, the Trust Preferred
Securities have preferential rights to payment relative to the Trust Common Securities.



The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, the payment in full of all distributions and other payments on the Trust Preferred Securities to the extent that the Trust has funds legally available therefor. This
guarantee and the partnership distribution guarantee are subordinated to all other liabilities of the Company and rank pari passu with the Companys most senior preferred stock, of which there is none currently outstanding.



Trust Common Securities



The Trust issued 123,720 8.36% Trust Common Securities, $25 liquidation
amount per security, to the Company on February 4, 1997 for an aggregate purchase price of $3,093,000. The Trust Common Securities are redeemable on or after February 4, 2002 at the option of the Trust, in whole or in part, at a redemption price
equal to $25 per security. Holders of the Trust Preferred Securities shall be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice of such redemption.
