Description of Business. Prior to June 29, 2012, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (“A&B” or the “Company”) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”). On June 29, 2012, Holdings distributed to its shareholders all of the shares of A&B stock in a tax-free distribution (the “Separation”). Holders of Holdings common stock received one share of A&B common stock for each share of Holdings common stock held at the close of business on June 18, 2012, the record date. On July 2, 2012, A&B began regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ALEX” as an independent, public company. A&B is headquartered in Honolulu and operates in three segments in two industries—Real Estate and Agribusiness.

Real Estate: Real Estate consists of two segments, both of which have operations in Hawaii and on the Mainland. The Real Estate Development and Sales segment generates its revenues through the development and sale of land and commercial and residential properties. The Real Estate Leasing segment owns, operates, and manages retail, office, and industrial properties. Real estate activities are conducted through A&B Properties, Inc. and various other wholly owned subsidiaries of A&B.

Agribusiness: Agribusiness, which contains one segment, produces bulk raw sugar, specialty food grade sugars, and molasses; markets and distributes specialty food-grade sugars; provides general trucking services, mobile equipment maintenance, and repair services in Hawaii; leases agricultural land to third parties; and generates and sells electricity, to the extent not used in the Company’s Agribusiness operations.

Separation. On June 29, 2012, the Company completed its legal separation from Alexander & Baldwin Holdings, Inc. In connection with the Separation, Holdings entered into several agreements with the Company that govern the ongoing relationship between Holdings and the Company, including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement and Transition Services Agreement.

(2)

Basis of Presentation. The financial statements and related financial information pertaining to the period preceding the Separation have been presented on a combined basis and reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the real estate and agriculture businesses and corporate functions of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc., all of which were under common ownership and common management prior to the Separation. The financial statements and related financial information pertaining to the period subsequent to the Separation have been presented on a consolidated basis. The financial statements for periods prior to the Separation included herein may not necessarily reflect A&B’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future or what its results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had A&B been a stand-alone company during the periods presented.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Because of the nature of the Company’s operations, the results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. While these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. Therefore, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related combined statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 and the notes thereto included in the information statement filed as exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s registration statement on Form 10.

(3)	Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies: Commitments and financial arrangements (excluding capital lease commitments that are disclosed in Note 8 of the information statement filed as exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s registration statement on Form 10), included the following (in millions):

Standby letters of credit related to real estate development projects	$11.9
Performance bonds related to real estate construction	$36.1

These amounts are not recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and it is not expected that the Company or its subsidiaries will be called upon to advance funds under these commitments.

Indemnity Agreements: For certain real estate joint ventures, the Company may be obligated under bond indemnities to complete construction of the real estate development if the joint venture does not perform. These indemnities are designed to protect the surety in exchange for the issuance of surety bonds that cover construction activities, such as project amenities, roads, utilities, and other infrastructure. The recorded amounts of the indemnity liabilities were not material. Under the indemnities, the Company and its joint venture partners agree to indemnify the surety bond issuer from all losses and expenses arising from the failure of the joint venture to complete the specified bonded construction. The maximum potential amount of aggregate future payments is a function of the amount covered by outstanding bonds at the time of default by the joint venture, reduced by the amount of work completed to date.

Other Obligations: Certain of the real estate businesses in which the Company holds a non-controlling interest have long-term debt obligations. One of the Company’s joint ventures has a $10 million loan that matures in August 2015. As a condition to providing the loan to the joint venture, the lender required that the Company and its joint venture partner guarantee certain obligations of the joint venture under a maintenance agreement. The maintenance agreement specifies that the Company and its joint venture partner make payments to the lender to the extent that the loan-to-value measure or debt service ratio of the property held by the joint venture is below pre-determined thresholds. The Company has determined that the fair value of its obligation under this maintenance agreement is not material, and as of September 30, 2012, the Company had not paid any amounts under the guaranty.

Other than obligations described above, obligations of the Company’s joint ventures do not have recourse to the Company and the Company’s “at-risk” amounts are limited to its investment.

Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies: A&B owns 16,000 acres of watershed lands in East Maui that supply a significant portion of the irrigation water used by Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (“HC&S”), a division of A&B that produces raw sugar. A&B also held four water licenses to another 30,000 acres owned by the State of Hawaii in East Maui which, over the last ten years, have supplied approximately 58 percent of the irrigation water used by HC&S. The last of these water license agreements expired in 1986, and all four agreements were then extended as revocable permits that were renewed annually. In 2001, a request was made to the State Board of Land and Natural Resources (the “BLNR”) to replace these revocable permits with a long-term water lease. Pending the conclusion by the BLNR of this contested case hearing on the request for the long-term lease, the BLNR has renewed the existing permits on a holdover basis. If the Company is not permitted to utilize sufficient quantities of stream waters from State lands in East Maui, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s sugar-growing operations.

In addition, on May 24, 2001, petitions were filed by a third party, requesting that the Commission on Water Resource Management of the State of Hawaii (“Water Commission”) establish interim instream flow standards (“IIFS”) in 27 East Maui streams that feed the Company’s irrigation system. On September 25, 2008, the Water Commission took action on eight of the petitions, resulting in some quantity of water being returned to the streams rather than being utilized for irrigation purposes. In May 2010, the Water Commission took action on the remaining 19 petitions resulting in additional water being returned to the streams. A petition requesting a contested case hearing to challenge the Water Commission’s decisions was filed with the Commission by the opposing third party. On October 18, 2010, the Water Commission denied the petitioner’s request for a contested case hearing. On November 17, 2010, the petitioner filed an appeal of the Water Commission’s denial to the Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals. On August 31, 2011, the Intermediate Court of Appeals dismissed the petitioner’s appeal. On November 29, 2011, the petitioner appealed the Intermediate Court of Appeals’ dismissal to the Hawaii Supreme Court. On January 11, 2012, the Hawaii Supreme Court vacated the Intermediate Court of Appeals’ dismissal of the petitioner’s appeal and remanded the appeal back to the Intermediate Court of Appeals.

On June 25, 2004, two organizations filed a petition with the Water Commission to establish IIFS for four streams in West Maui to increase the amount of water to be returned to these streams. The West Maui irrigation system provided approximately 15 percent of the irrigation water used by HC&S over the last ten years. The Water Commission issued a decision in June 2010, which required the return of water in two of the four streams. In July 2010, the two organizations appealed the Water Commission’s decision to the Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals. On June 23, 2011, the case was transferred to the Hawaii Supreme Court. On August 15, 2012, the Hawaii Supreme Court overturned the Water Commission's decision and remanded the case to the Water Commission for further consideration in connection with the establishment of the IIFS.

The loss of East Maui and West Maui water as a result of the Water Commission’s decisions imposes challenges to the Company’s sugar growing operations. While the resulting water loss does not immediately threaten near-term sugar production, it will result in a future suppression of sugar yields and will have an impact on the Company that will only be quantifiable over time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to predict, at this time, the outcome or financial impact of the water proceedings.

In March 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) published nationwide standards for controlling hazardous air pollutant emissions from industrial, commercial, institutional boilers and process heaters (the “Boiler MACT” rule), which would apply to Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company’s three boilers. The standards require that prescribed emissions be reduced to allowable levels as detailed in the final regulations by early 2014. The EPA subsequently reconsidered the March 2011 rule, and in December 2011, re-proposed the Boiler MACT rule. The Company is not able to evaluate the impact of the new standards until the rule is finalized, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2012. Given the potential for changes to the rule, the Company’s continuing evaluation of alternative operating models for its sugar business, and the requirement to perform a thorough analysis of the new standards, the Company is unable to predict at this time, the financial impact of the regulations.

In June 2011, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) served McBryde Resources, Inc., formerly known as Kauai Coffee Company, Inc. (“McBryde Resources”) with a lawsuit, which alleged that McBryde Resources and five other farms were complicit in illegal acts by Global Horizons Inc., a company that had hired Thai workers for the farms. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii. In July 2011, the EEOC amended the lawsuit to name Alexander & Baldwin, LLC (formerly known as Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as a defendant. At a hearing on October 26, 2011, the judge dismissed the lawsuit, without prejudice. The EEOC filed a second amended complaint on December 16, 2011. In response, McBryde Resources and Alexander & Baldwin, LLC filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. The motion was granted in part and denied in part, however, the Court allowed the EEOC to file yet another amended complaint, which it did on July 3, 2012. McBryde Resources and Alexander & Baldwin, LLC filed motions to dismiss the third amended complaint. The Court granted in part, and denied in part, the motions. The Company is unable to predict, at this time, the outcome or financial impact, if any, of the lawsuit.

A&B is a party to, or may be contingently liable in connection with, other legal actions arising in the normal conduct of its businesses, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management after consultation with counsel, would not have a material effect on A&B’s condensed combined financial statements as a whole.

(4)

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for all periods prior to Separation is calculated using the number of shares of ALEX common stock outstanding on July 2, 2012, the first day of trading following the June 29, 2012 distribution of ALEX common stock to Holdings shareholders, as if those shares were outstanding for those periods. For all periods prior to Separation, there were no dilutive shares because no actual A&B shares or share-based awards were outstanding prior to the Separation.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”): The number of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in millions):

	Quarter Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012	2011	2012	2011
Denominator for basic EPS – weighted average shares	42.6	42.4	42.5	42.4
Effect of dilutive securities:
Employee/director stock options and restricted stock units	0.7	--	0.2	--
Denominator for diluted EPS – weighted average shares	43.3	42.4	42.7	42.4

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares, if any, that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units.

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, there were no anti-dilutive securities outstanding. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, there were no non-qualified stock options outstanding.

(5)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair values of receivables and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, consisting principally of cash on deposit, may from time to time include short-term money markets funds. The fair values of these money market funds, based on market prices (level 2), approximate their carrying values due to their short-maturities. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at September 30, 2012 was $244.0 million and $267.2 million, respectively, and $327.2 million and $342.2 million at December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated by discounting the future cash flows of the debt at rates based on instruments with similar risk, terms and maturities as compared to the Company’s existing debt arrangements (level 2).

Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2012 consisted of land held for real estate development and an investment in affiliate that was written-down to estimated fair value during the second quarter of 2012. The aggregate fair values of these assets were classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

(6)

Share-Based Compensation. Effective as of the completion of the Separation, all A&B employees that held Holdings restricted stock units (“RSUs”) on June 29, 2012 (the “Distribution Date”) received replacement A&B RSUs with terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms and conditions formerly applicable to the Holdings RSUs replaced. Additionally, effective as of the completion of the Separation, A&B employees that held Holdings stock options on the Distribution Date received replacement A&B stock options with terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms and conditions formerly applicable to the Holdings stock options. The number of shares and exercise price of each replacement award were adjusted in order to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the awards held by such employee.

The replacement of awards described above constitutes a “modification” under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Accordingly, the Company measured the excess of the fair value of the replacement awards over the fair value of the replaced awards and recorded incremental non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.8 million in the third and second quarters of 2012, respectively. The remaining $1.0 million of incremental share-based compensation expense will be amortized over a weighted average vesting period of approximately one year.

The replacement awards were made under the Company’s new 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2012 Plan”), which became effective as of the Separation, and allows for the granting of stock options, restricted stock units, and common stock. Under the 2012 Plan, 4.3 million shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance, and as of September 30, 2012, 1,559,912 shares of the Company’s common stock remained available for future issuance. The shares of common stock authorized to be issued under the 2012 Plan may be drawn from the shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock or from shares of its common stock that the Company acquires, including shares purchased on the open market or private transactions.

Activity in the Company’s stock option plans in 2012 was as follows (in thousands, except weighted average exercise price and weighted average contractual life):

			Weighted	Weighted
			Average	Average	Aggregate
	2012		Exercise	Contractual	Intrinsic
	Plan		Price	Life	Value

Discontinued Operations. In 2012, the revenues and expenses of Firestone Boulevard Building and an industrial property in California have been classified as discontinued operations. In 2011, the revenues and expenses of 1420 Kapiolani, Triangle Square, Arbor Park Shopping Center, Wakea Business Center II, and two commercial buildings on Maui and Oahu were classified as discontinued operations.

The results of operations from these properties in prior periods were reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations to conform to the current period’s accounting presentation. Consistent with the Company’s intention to reinvest the sales proceeds into new investment property, the proceeds from the sales of property treated as discontinued operations were deposited in escrow accounts for tax-deferred reinvestment in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Income from discontinued operations consisted of the following (in millions):

Pension and Post-retirement Plans. The Company has defined benefit pension plans that cover substantially all non-bargaining unit and certain bargaining unit employees. The Company also has unfunded non-qualified plans that provide benefits in excess of the amounts permitted to be paid under the provisions of the tax law to participants in qualified plans.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company froze benefit accruals under its traditional defined benefit plans for non-bargaining unit employees hired before January 1, 2008 and instituted a cash balance defined benefit pension plan. Non-bargaining unit employees hired after January 1, 2008 were not eligible to participate in the traditional defined benefit pension plan, which has since been frozen for all non-bargaining unit employees, but these employees are participants in the cash balance defined benefit pension plan. Retirement benefits under the cash balance pension plan are based on a fixed percentage of employee eligible compensation, plus interest. The plan interest credit rate will vary from year-to-year based on the ten-year U.S. Treasury rate.

The assumptions related to discount rates, expected long-term rates of return on invested plan assets, salary increases, age, mortality and health care cost trend rates, along with other factors, are used in determining the assets, liabilities and expenses associated with pension benefits. Management reviews the assumptions annually with its independent actuaries, taking into consideration existing and future economic conditions and the Company’s intentions with respect to these plans. Management believes that its assumptions and estimates are reasonable. Different assumptions, however, could result in material changes to the assets, obligations and costs associated with benefit plans.

The components of net periodic benefit cost recorded for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in millions):

	Pension Benefits						Post-retirement Benefits
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Service cost	$	0.6		$	0.8		$	--		$	--

Net periodic benefit cost for 2012 is expected to total $7.2 million for pension benefits and $0.4 million for post-retirement benefits. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company made cash contributions to its pension plans totaling approximately $2.6 million.

Investments in Affiliates. At September 30, 2012, investments in affiliates consisted principally of equity investments in limited liability companies. The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of these investments and, accordingly, accounts for its investments using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s operating results include its proportionate share of net loss from its equity method investments. Summarized financial information for the Company’s significant equity method investments in its Bakersfield and Kukui’ula joint ventures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,

Includes a $6.5 million non-cash impairment write-down of entitled land (recognized at the joint venture level) owned by the Bakersfield joint venture in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

(10)	Related Party Transactions. Effective upon the completion of the Separation, A&B ceased to be a related party of Holdings. Prior to the Separation, transactions with Holdings were considered related party transactions, as discussed below.

Services and lease agreements. Historically, Holdings provided vessel management services to the Company for its bulk sugar vessel, the MV Moku Pahu, the cost of which is included in the cost of Agribusiness revenues. Additionally, the Company recognized lease income in Real Estate Leasing revenue for an industrial warehouse space in Savannah, Georgia, that is leased to Holdings. The Company also recognized Agribusiness revenue for equipment and repair services provided to Holdings, and is reimbursed at cost for various other services provided to Holdings.

The amounts of these related party transactions are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2012	2011	2012	2011
Vessel management services expenses	$ --	$ (1.0)	$ (2.0)	$ (2.9)

Related party income, net	$ --	$ 0.8	$ 1.5	$ 2.2

Contributions. Net contributions from (Distributions to) Holdings totaled $154.5 million and $(26.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Distributions to Holdings represent dividends paid by the Company to shareholders of Holdings and contributions from Holdings include dividends and contributions received from Holdings.

New Accounting Pronouncements. Comprehensive Income - In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. ASU 2011-05 is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2012. The standard changed the presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements but did not affect the calculation of net income, comprehensive income or earnings per share.

Fair Value Measurement - In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). The update to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, was issued to clarify the FASB Board’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements. The amendment expands the quantitative disclosures about fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, including the valuation process used by the reporting entity and the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs. The amendment also specifies that the highest and best use valuation premise only applies to nonfinancial assets, and requires expanded disclosure about the reporting entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset’s highest and best use. The amendment also requires disclosure of the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the financial statements, but for which fair value is required to be disclosed. ASU 2011-04 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

(12)

Income Taxes. The Company will be included in the consolidated tax return of Matson, Inc. (formerly Alexander & Baldwin Holdings, Inc.) for results occurring prior to June 30, 2012. Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company will report as a separate taxpayer. The current and deferred income tax expense recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements has been determined by applying the provisions of ASC 740 as if the Company were a separate taxpayer.

The Company makes certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are applied in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits and deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Adjustments may be required to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to changes in tax laws and audit adjustments by tax authorities. To the extent adjustments are required in any given period, the adjustments would be included within the tax provision in the condensed consolidated statements of income or balance sheets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company, from time to time, may make or may have made certain forward-looking statements, whether orally or in writing, such as forecasts and projections of the Company’s future performance or statements of management’s plans and objectives. These statements are “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may be contained in, among other things, Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, such as the Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, the Annual Report to Shareholders, press releases made by the Company, the Company’s Internet Web sites (including Web sites of its subsidiaries), and oral statements made by the officers of the Company. Except for historical information contained in these written or oral communications, such communications contain forward-looking statements. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements cannot be relied upon as a guarantee of future results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the statements, including, but not limited to the factors that are described in “Risk Factors” in the information statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s registration statement on Form 10 and other subsequent filings with the SEC. The Company is not required, and undertakes no obligation, to revise or update forward-looking statements or any factors that may affect actual results, whether as a result of new information, future events, or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Alexander & Baldwin (“A&B”), founded in 1870, is a land and real estate corporation headquartered in Honolulu that operates three business segments in two industries—Real Estate and Agribusiness.

Real Estate: The Real Estate Industry consists of two segments, both of which have operations in Hawaii and on the Mainland. The Real Estate Development and Sales segment generates its revenues through the development and sale of land and commercial and residential properties. The Real Estate Leasing segment owns, operates, and manages retail, office, and industrial properties. Real estate activities are conducted through A&B Properties, Inc. and various other wholly owned subsidiaries of A&B.

Agribusiness: Agribusiness, which contains one segment, produces bulk raw sugar, specialty food grade sugars, and molasses; markets and distributes specialty food-grade sugars; provides general trucking services, mobile equipment maintenance, and repair services in Hawaii; leases agricultural land to third parties; and generates and sells electricity to the extent not used in A&B’s Agribusiness operations.

Consolidated operating revenue for the third quarter of 2012 increased $31.0 million, or 50 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2011. This increase was principally due to $30.8 million in higher Agribusiness revenue. The reasons for the revenue changes are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.

Consolidated operating costs and expenses for the third quarter of 2012 increased $16.7 million, or 30 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2011, due principally to $25.3 million in higher Agribusiness costs. The increased costs were partially offset by a $7.3 million gain on the sale of an agricultural parcel, $0.9 million of lower general and administrative costs due to higher professional fees and performance-based compensation accruals in 2011 relative to 2012, $0.6 million related to lower Real Estate Development and Sales costs, and $0.5 million related to lower Real Estate Leasing costs (after subtracting costs from assets classified as discontinued operations). The reasons for the operating cost and expense changes are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.

Other income (expense) was ($4.6) million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to ($5.4) million in the third quarter of 2011, primarily due to $0.8 million in lower interest expense.

Income taxes for the third quarter of 2012 were higher compared to the third quarter of 2011 due principally to higher income from continuing operations. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2012 decreased relative to 2011 due principally to tax benefits related to the Company’s solar project on Kauai.

Consolidated – First nine months of 2012 compared with 2011

	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Basic earnings per share	$	0.28		$	0.63		-56	%
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.28		$	0.63		-56	%

Consolidated operating revenue for the first nine months of 2012 increased $25.7 million, or 14 percent, compared to the first nine months of 2011. This increase was principally due to $25.1 million in higher Agribusiness revenue and $2.9 million in higher Real Estate Leasing revenue (after excluding revenue from discontinued operations), partially offset by $2.3 million in lower Real Estate Development and Sales revenue (after excluding revenue from discontinued operations). The reasons for the revenue change are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.

Consolidated operating costs and expenses for the first nine months of 2012 increased $21.8 million, or 14 percent, compared to the first nine months of 2011, due principally to $20.2 million in higher Agribusiness costs, $6.8 million in higher professional fees related to the Separation, which included $1.1 in share-based compensation related to the exchange of existing employee options with replacement options in the new company as part of the Separation, and a $5.1 million impairment of the Company’s Santa Barbara landholdings that resulted from the Company’s change in its development strategy to focus on development projects in Hawaii, partially offset by a $7.3 million gain on the sale of an agricultural parcel and $2.9 million in lower Real Estate Development and Sales costs (after excluding costs from discontinued operations). The reasons for the operating cost and expense changes are described below, by business segment, in the Analysis of Operating Revenue and Profit by Segment.

Other income and (expense) was ($20.1) million in the first nine months of 2012 compared with ($5.9) million the first nine months of 2011, due to $4.7 million in impairment and equity losses related to the Company’s Bakersfield joint venture development project in California, resulting from the Company’s change in its development strategy to focus on development projects in Hawaii, a $3.7 million gain on the sale of a joint venture investment interest in the first quarter of 2011, and $3.7 million in real estate joint venture losses in 2012 compared to $0.6 million in real estate joint venture income in 2011 due to the sale of a commercial parcel in 2011 that more than offset joint venture operating costs.

Income taxes in the first nine months of 2012 were lower than 2011 due primarily to lower income from continuing operations. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2012 decreased relative to 2011 due principally to tax benefits related to the Company’s solar project on Kauai, partially offset by certain non-deductible separation expenses.

ANALYSIS OF OPERATING REVENUE AND PROFIT BY SEGMENT

REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY

Real Estate Development and Sales and Real Estate Leasing revenue and operating profit are analyzed before subtracting amounts related to discontinued operations. This is consistent with how A&B generates earnings and how A&B’s management evaluates performance and makes decisions regarding capital allocation for A&B’s real estate businesses. A discussion of discontinued operations for the real estate business is included separately.

Effect of Property Sales Mix on Operating Results: Direct year-over-year comparison of the real estate development and sales results may not provide a consistent, measurable indicator of future performance because results from period to period are significantly affected by the mix and timing of property sales. Operating results, by virtue of each project’s asset class, geography and timing are inherently episodic. Earnings from joint venture investments are not included in segment revenue, but are included in operating profit. The mix of real estate sales in any year or quarter can be diverse and can include developed residential real estate, commercial properties, developable subdivision lots, undeveloped land, and property sold under threat of condemnation. The sale of undeveloped land and vacant parcels in Hawaii generally provides higher margins than does the sale of developed and commercial property, due to the low historical-cost basis of A&B’s Hawaii land. Consequently, real estate sales revenue trends, cash flows from the sales of real estate, and the amount of real estate held for sale on the balance sheets do not necessarily indicate future profitability trends for this segment. Additionally, the operating profit reported in each quarter does not necessarily follow a percentage of sales trend because the cost basis of property sold can differ significantly between transactions.

Real Estate Leasing – Third quarter of 2012 compared with 2011

	Quarter Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2012			2011			Change
Real estate leasing segment revenue	$	24.9		$	24.5		2	%
Real estate leasing segment operating costs and expenses		(14.4	)		(14.9	)	-3	%
Selling, general and administrative		(0.5	)		(0.3	)	67	%
Other income		0.2			(0.1	)	N	M
Real estate leasing operating profit	$	10.2		$	9.2		11	%

Hawaii		93	%		91	%
Leasable Space (million sq. ft.) — Improved
Mainland		6.5			6.5
Hawaii		1.4			1.4

Real Estate Leasing revenue for the third quarter of 2012, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was two percent higher than 2011, primarily due to the revenue impact resulting from the acquisitions of Issaquah Office Center (September 2011), Gateway at Mililani Mauka (December 2011) and Gateway at Mililani Mauka South (June 2012) and a reversal of deferred rent in 2011 related to a tenant bankruptcy, partially offset by the dispositions of Wakea Business Center (September 2011) and Firestone Boulevard Building (March 2012).

Same store average annualized revenue per square foot per month was $1.06 in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $1.07 in the third quarter of 2011. The decline in revenue per square foot per month was principally due to lower rents at two Mainland office buildings (Gateway Oaks and Prospect Park) and a Mainland industrial property (Savannah Logistics), as well as two retail properties in Hawaii (Lanihau Marketplace and Kaneohe Bay Shopping Center). Total same store occupancy for the third quarter of 2012 was 93 percent, compared to 92 percent in the third quarter of 2011.

Operating profit for the third quarter of 2012, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was 11 percent higher than 2011, due primarily to lower expenses related to the previously mentioned tenant bankruptcy in 2011, and the favorable impact of acquisitions and dispositions previously described.

Leasable space remained essentially unchanged at 7.9 million square feet in the third quarter of 2012 compared with the third quarter of 2011, principally due to the following activity between July 1, 2011 and September 30, 2012:

Dispositions			Acquisitions
Date	Property	Leasable sq. ft	Date	Property	Leasable sq. ft

9-11	Wakea Business Center II (HI)	61,500	9-11	Issaquah Office Center (WA)	146,900
3-12	Firestone Boulevard Building (CA)	28,100	12-11	Gateway at Mililani Mauka (HI)	5,900

Real Estate Leasing revenue for the first nine months of 2012, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, increased by $0.4 million compared to 2011. The revenue increase was primarily the result of the acquisitions of Issaquah Office Center (September 2011), Union Bank (June 2011), Gateway at Mililani Mauka (December 2011), and Gateway at Mililani Mauka South (June 2012) that were partially offset by the dispositions of Arbor Park (June 2011), Wakea Business Center (September 2011), and Firestone Boulevard Building (March 2012), partially offset by lower occupancy at two California office properties.

Same store average annualized revenue per square foot per month was $1.08 in the first nine months of 2012 compared to $1.09 in the first nine months of 2011. The decrease in annualized revenue per square foot per month was due to lower rents at two Mainland office properties (Prospect Park and Gateway Oaks) and a Mainland retail property (Meadows on the Parkway) and a retail property in Hawaii (Lanihau), partially offset by higher rents at a Mainland industrial property (Sparks Business Center) and two Hawaii retail properties (Maui Mall & Kunia Shopping Center) and a Hawaii office property (Kahului Office Building). Total same store occupancy for the first nine months of 2012 of 93 percent was consistent with 2011.

Operating profit for the first nine months of 2012, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was 4 percent higher than 2011, principally due to the timing of acquisitions and dispositions previously cited and overall higher Mainland and Hawaii occupancies.

2012 Third Quarter: Revenue from Real Estate Development and Sales was $8.4 million, principally related to the gain on the sale of 286 acres of agricultural-zoned land on Maui. Operating profit also included joint venture sales of a residential lot and two cottages at Kukui’ula and a residential unit on the island of Hawaii, more than offset by joint venture expenses.

2012 - Nine Months Ended September 30: Revenue for the first nine months of 2012, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was $26.8 million and, in addition to the sales described above, included the sales of a 4.1-acre parcel at Maui Business Park II, two leased fee parcels on Maui, two residential units on Oahu, a California office property, a 79-acre non-core land parcel on Maui, and joint venture sales of a parcel and a cottage at Kukui’ula and four residential units on the island of Hawaii. The margin on the sales described above was partially offset by $9.8 million of impairment charges in the second quarter of 2012, related to the Company’s Santa Barbara and Bakersfield development projects in California, resulting from the Company’s change in its development strategy to focus on development projects in Hawaii, as well as joint venture expenses.

2011 Third Quarter: Real Estate Sales revenue and operating profit, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, were $9.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and included the sales of an industrial property on Maui and one residential unit on Oahu. Operating profit also included joint venture expenses.

2011 – Nine Months Ended September 30: Revenue for the first nine months of 2011, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was $57.0 million, and included the sales of a retail center in Texas, three commercial properties on Maui and Oahu, an 86-acre vacant parcel and a four-acre vacant parcel on Maui, and four residential units on Oahu. In addition to the sales described above, operating profit of $26.1 million for the first nine months of 2011 included a gain from the sale of the Company’s interest in the Bridgeport Marketplace joint venture development in Valencia, California, a four-acre commercial parcel at the Company’s Kukui’ula joint venture on Kauai, and four units at the Company’s Ka Milo joint venture development on the island of Hawaii, partially offset by ongoing joint venture expenses.

AGRIBUSINESS

Agribusiness – Third quarter of 2012 compared with 2011

	Quarter Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2012			2011			Change
Revenue	$	67.9		$	37.1		83	%
Operating profit	$	9.1		$	3.8		2	X
Operating profit margin		13.4	%		10.2	%
Tons sugar produced		78,200			74,300		5	%
Tons sugar sold (bulk raw sugar)		72,400			36,300		99	%

Agribusiness revenue for the third quarter of 2012 increased $30.8 million, or 83 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2011. The increase was primarily due to $27.4 million of higher sugar sales revenue due to the completion of two sugar voyages in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the completion of one voyage in the third quarter of 2011. Molasses revenue was also $1.0 million higher in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011 due to the timing of molasses shipments and sales.

Operating profit for the third quarter of 2012 increased $5.3 million, or more than two times, compared to the third quarter of 2011. The increase was principally due to $3.8 million higher sales volume and sugar pricing on raw sugar sold during the quarter as compared to the third quarter in 2011, $0.8 million from higher molasses sales margin due to higher volume sold during the quarter, $0.5 million in higher power margins, primarily due to the higher volume of power sold, and $0.4 million of insurance proceeds.

Agribusiness – First nine months of 2012 compared with 2011

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2012			2011			Change
Revenue	$	121.4		$	96.3		26	%
Operating profit	$	19.6		$	14.9		32	%
Operating profit margin		16.1	%		15.5	%
Tons sugar produced		137,500			148,700		-8	%
Tons sugar sold (bulk raw sugar)		108,400			72,600		49	%

Agribusiness revenue for the first nine months of 2012 increased $25.1 million, or 26 percent, compared with the first nine months of 2011. The increase was due to $24.8 million in higher sugar sales revenue due to the completion of three sugar voyages during the year as compared to the completion of two voyages in 2011, $1.2 million in higher power sales from higher volume and prices, partially offset by $2.3 million in lower coffee revenue due to the sale of the coffee assets in 2011 and $1.4 million in lower charter revenue.

Operating profit for the first nine months of 2012 increased $4.7 million compared to the first nine months of 2011. The increase was primarily due to $1.5 million in higher sugar margins, resulting from higher sales volume and sugar pricing in 2012 relative to 2011, $1.4 million in higher power margins from higher volume and prices, and $1.3 million higher lease and operating margins due to the sale of the coffee assets in 2011, partially offset by $0.7 million of lower charter margin.

Year-to-date sugar production was 8 percent lower in 2012 than in 2011, due principally to lower yields on the acres harvested, resulting from drought conditions and lower water availability. However, based on expected yields of the remaining acres scheduled to be harvested in 2012, the Company expects that full-year production will approximate 2011 production levels.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s primary liquidity needs have historically been to support working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures and real estate developments. Historically, A&B’s principal sources of liquidity have been cash flows provided by operating activities, available cash and cash equivalent balances, and borrowing capacity under its various credit facilities.

A&B’s operating income is generated by its subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of A&B’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to A&B. A&B regularly evaluates investment opportunities, including development projects, joint venture investments, share repurchases and other strategic transactions to increase shareholder value. A&B cannot predict whether or when it may enter into acquisitions, joint ventures or dispositions, or what impact any such transactions could have on A&B’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. A&B’s cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the information statement filed as exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s registration statement on Form 10.

Cash Flows: Cash flows used in operating activities totaled $12.8 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared with $6.1 million for the first nine months of 2011. This increase in cash used in operating activities was due principally to $23.9 million in higher real estate development inventory capital expenditures, partially offset by $8.4 million in lower income tax payments.

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $39.8 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared with $17.8 million in the first nine months of 2011. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to $7.9 million in lower proceeds from property disposals, $6.1 million in lower proceeds from investment in affiliates due to the prior year sale of the Company’s interest in its Bridgeport Marketplace joint venture, and a $22.9 million increase in capital expenditures when compared to 2011, partially offset by a net $14.9 million decrease in investments in affiliates compared to 2011, principally related to higher investments in the Company’s Kukui’ula joint venture in 2011.

Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2012 totaled $34.4 million compared with $11.5 million for the first nine months of 2011. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2012 included $8.6 million for commercial real estate related acquisitions, development and property improvements, $25.5 million related to agricultural operations, principally investments into the Company’s Kauai solar project, and $0.3 million related to other corporate activities. The $34.4 million reported in capital expenditures on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for 2012 excludes $9.4 million of tax-deferred real estate purchases under Section 1031 of the IRS code since the Company did not actually take control of the cash during the exchange period. The 2011 expenditures included $5.9 million for commercial real estate related acquisitions, development and property improvements, and $5.6 related to agricultural operations. The $11.5 million reported in capital expenditures on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for 2011 excludes $30.9 million of tax-deferred real estate purchases under Section 1031 of the IRS code since the Company did not actually take control of the cash during the exchange period.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $45.0 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared with $21.0 million during the first nine months of 2011. The increase in cash flows from financing activities was principally due to net contributions from Holdings and $11.6 million of proceeds from stock option exercises, partially offset by a $162.6 million reduction in net borrowings in 2012 as compared to 2011.

The Company believes that funds generated from results of operations, available cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under credit facilities will be sufficient to finance the Company’s business requirements for the next fiscal year, including working capital, capital expenditures, and potential acquisitions and stock repurchases. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that it will be able to maintain its ability to borrow under its available credit facilities.

Sources of Liquidity: Additional sources of liquidity for the Company, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and sugar inventory, totaled $36.5 million at September 30, 2012, an increase of $2.0 million from December 31, 2011. The increase was due primarily to a $8.6 million increase in sugar inventory and a $1.0 million increase in receivables, partially offset by a $7.6 million decrease in cash.

The Company also has various revolving credit and term facilities that provide additional sources of liquidity for working capital requirements or investment opportunities on a short-term as well as longer-term basis. The total debt as of September 30, 2012 was $252.1 million compared to $361.7 million at the end of 2011. As of September 30, 2012, available capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility and its Prudential shelf facility totaled $324.6 million. The decrease in debt during the first nine months of 2012 was principally due to net capital contributions from Holdings prior to the Separation, partially offset by $72.3 million in capital expenditures, including net investments in real estate joint ventures and investments in real estate development projects.

Balance Sheet: The Company had a working capital balance of $14.2 million at September 30, 2012, compared to a negative working capital balance of $21.2 million at the end of 2011. The improvement in working capital is principally due to a decrease in the current portion of long-term debt.

Investments in Affiliates increased by $21.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and was principally due to the Company’s equity investment in a joint venture to develop a 341-unit condominium high-rise in Kakaako, Hawaii.

At September 30, 2012, the Company believes it was in compliance with all of its covenants. While there can be no assurance that the Company will remain in compliance with its covenants, the Company expects that it will remain in compliance.

Tax-Deferred Real Estate Exchanges:Sales – During the third quarter of 2012, approximately $8.2 million of proceeds from the sale of 286 acres of agricultural-zoned land on Maui qualified for tax-deferral treatment under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. During the third quarter of 2011, approximately $8.2 million of proceeds from the sale of an industrial property on Maui qualified for tax-deferral treatment under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.

Purchases – During the third quarter of 2012, the Company made no acquisitions. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company utilized approximately $20 million in proceeds from tax-deferred sales to purchase the Issaquah Office Center, an office building in Issaquah, Washington.

The proceeds from 1031 tax-deferred sales are held in escrow pending future use to purchase new real estate assets. The proceeds from 1033 condemnations are held by the Company until the funds are redeployed. As of September 30, 2012, there were $8.3 million in proceeds from tax-deferred sales that had not been reinvested.

The funds related to 1031 transactions are not included in cash flows from investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows but are disclosed as non-cash activities. For “reverse 1031” transactions, the Company purchases a property in anticipation of receiving funds from a future property sale. Funds used for reverse 1031 purchases are included as capital expenditures on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related sales of property, for which the proceeds are linked, are included as property sales in the Statement.

Commitments, Contingencies and Off-balance Sheet Arrangements: A description of other commitments, contingencies, and off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2012, and herein incorporated by reference, is included in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Item 1 in this Form 10-Q.

OUTLOOK

All of the forward-looking statements made herein are qualified by the inherent risks of the Company’s operations and the markets it serves, as more fully described on pages 20 to 39 of the information statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's registration statement on Form 10 and other filings with the SEC.

There are two primary sources of periodic economic forecasts and data for the State of Hawaii: The University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO) and the State’s Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT). Much of the economic information included herein has been derived from economic reports available on UHERO’s and DBEDT’s websites that provide more complete information about the status of, and forecast for, the Hawaii economy. Information below on Oahu residential re-sales is published by the Honolulu Board of Realtors and Title Guaranty. Information below on the Oahu commercial real estate market is provided by Colliers International (Hawaii). Bankruptcy filing information cited below is published by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court District of Hawaii. Prices for New York No.16 domestic sugar are from ICE Futures U.S.

The Company’s overall outlook assumes modest growth for the U.S. and Hawaii economies. The Hawaii economy is projected to produce real growth of 1.5 percent in 2012, and is expected to continue to grow at a moderate pace for the next several years. The primary driver of growth is tourism, which is on track this year to set the state’s all-time record high for visitor expenditures and arrivals. Through September 2012, visitor expenditures were up 19 percent compared to last year. Visitor arrivals also were up for the same period by 9 percent, with increased arrivals from the U.S. West, U.S. East and Japan.

The state is beginning to see positive trends in other economic indicators. Unemployment at the end of September was 5.7 percent, down from 6.8 percent in September 2011, and well below the national unemployment rate of 7.8 percent. Bankruptcy filings are down for the first nine months of 2012 by 26 percent. The median price for a home on Oahu for the first ten months of the year was $623,250, up 9.3 percent compared to last year; the median price of an Oahu condominium was up 4.0 percent at $315,000 for the same comparative period. At the end of September, months of available inventory remained low—3.3 months for Oahu homes and 3.6 months for Oahu condos—which is lower than the 2011 full-year average of 5.7 months for homes and 5.6 months for condos, and is expected to continue to support the positive trend in pricing. Oahu commercial property vacancies and rents have remained relatively stable. Current vacancies and rents (retail is for the first six months of 2012 and industrial and office are for the third quarter of 2012) are as follows:

Property Type	Vacancy Rate	Average Asking Rent Per Square Foot Per Month (NNN)
Retail	4.3%	$3.35
Industrial	4.3%	$0.98
Office	13.4%	$1.57

Although there are signs of increased activity, construction has yet to recover fully from the downturn experienced in 2008 and 2009, and development sales across the state remain modest.

The price of New York No.16 domestic sugar, which is the benchmark spot price at which the Company sells its raw sugar, has declined from 36 cents per pound at December 31, 2011, to 22.3 cents per pound at November 7, 2012. Because the Company has locked in sugar prices for virtually all of this year’s raw sugar crop and approximately 67 percent of the 2013 crop, reduced prices will not have an impact on agribusiness results for 2012. However, results for 2013 and beyond will be affected by prices in effect at the time additional sugar is priced.

The Company expects that continued growth in the Hawaii economy will generally provide a stable or improving environment for primary housing and commercial properties in the state. However, sales of resort residential real estate and the performance of the Company’s Mainland commercial property portfolio are influenced by the health of the U.S. economy and the particular markets in which those properties are located.

OTHER MATTERS

Significant Accounting Policies: The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Registration Statement.

Critical Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, upon which the Management’s Discussion and Analysis is based, requires that management exercise judgment when making estimates and assumptions about future events that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty and actual results will, inevitably, differ from those critical accounting estimates. These differences could be material. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of A&B’s financial statements were described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Registration Statement.

Share Repurchase Authorization: On June 28, 2012, A&B’s Board of Directors authorized A&B to repurchase up to two million shares of its common stock beginning on July 2, 2012. The authorization expires on December 31, 2013.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

We expect to hold our 2013 annual meeting of shareholders, our first annual meeting as a public company since the separation of A&B from Matson, Inc. ("A&B Predecessor"), on or about April 30, 2013. Shareholders interested in submitting a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act for consideration at our 2013 annual meeting must do so by sending such proposal to our Corporate Secretary at the headquarters of A&B.
