MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
     BancWest Corporation (www.bancwestcorp.com) is a financial holding company with assets of $52.5 billion. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Paris-based BNP Paribas. The Company is headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, with an administrative headquarters in San Francisco, California. As of June 30, 2005, its principal subsidiaries were Bank of the West (BOW) (465 full service retail branches and 13 limited service retail offices in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming) and First Hawaiian Bank (FHB) (61 branches in Hawaii, Guam and Saipan). In this report, BancWest Corporation and Subsidiaries is referred to as “the Company,” “we” or “our.” BancWest Corporation alone is referred to as “the Parent.”
Acquisitions
     Commercial Federal Corporation Acquisition
     On June 13, 2005, BancWest announced that its Bank of the West subsidiary entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Commercial Federal Corporation (CFC), the parent company of Commercial Federal Bank. It is anticipated that the purchase transaction will close in the fourth quarter of 2005, subject to regulatory approval. CFC and its branches will be integrated into Bank of the West’s branch network system. The acquisition of CFC will add three new states (Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma) to Bank of the West’s footprint, as well as to our market share in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa and Nebraska. CFC operates 198 branches in seven states in the Midwest, Colorado and Arizona. At March 31, 2005, CFC had total assets of $10.4 billion, total deposits of $6.5 billion and loans of $7.8 billion. Following the acquisition, results of operations of CFC will be included in our consolidated financial statements. The purchase price of approximately $1.36 billion will be paid in cash and the acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.
     In connection with the acquisition, management is in the process of assessing and formulating restructuring plans. These restructuring plans will target areas where there is a significant amount of overlap between the two companies. This includes consolidating administrative and support services including sales and marketing and to focus the Company’s resources on activities that will promote growth. We will be consolidating excess facilities and evaluating areas where we will be able to take advantage of existing facilities. As management is still in the process of developing the plans, estimates of associated exit costs and other restructuring costs yet to be incurred have not been determined at this time.
Strategic Initiatives
     The Company has continued to implement a series of initiatives that are designed to improve customer service and expand our physical footprint through branch expansion and acquisitions. The focus of the Company is to promote long-lasting customer service relationships through advanced technology and implementing new training vehicles. The Company strives for a “high touch” personalized marketing position, promoting brand recognition through marketing and community outreach. The Company is expanding its line of financial services to its customers through internal initiatives as well as acquisitions. This includes insurance services, where the company continues to explore acquisitions of independent insurance agencies within the company’s footprint. Bank of the West currently operates 57 insurance agencies in eight states and is planning to expand the insurance operations through acquisitions.
     Bank of the West’s Commercial Banking Group is expanding geographically and has increased its product offering for the Commercial Banking Division, the Agribusiness Banking Division and the Real Estate Industries Division. The Commercial Banking Group will have two new offices in Denver, Colorado and Minneapolis, Minnesota and is considering other states to take advantage of the new footprint resulting from the merger with Community First Bankshares, Inc. (Community First).
     Bank of the West’s Consumer Finance Group will continue its expansion plans for auto loan products throughout the Midwest, including those states within BOW’s new footprint resulting from the 2004 merger with Community First Bank. Additional expansion of the auto loan products in adjacent markets is also being considered.
     First Hawaiian Bank’s focus is on its core markets of Hawaii, Guam and Saipan. Its primary focus is on deepening relationships with existing customers. Objectives include emphasis on effective client segmentation and cross-selling, largely through development and sale of segment targeted packaged products and services.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     In addition, due to improving economic conditions in Hawaii, Guam and Saipan, First Hawaiian Bank seeks to increase loan and deposit volumes by developing relationships with new customers. Also, as part of the focus on our core markets, First Hawaiian Bank has nearly completed its planned reduction in Media Finance and Corporate National credits.
     First Hawaiian Bank is growing its commercial card business, offering sophisticated credit card products to serve the needs of our business customers at both First Hawaiian Bank and Bank of the West. Investments are being made in this business line to enhance customer service and improve staff efficiencies. New initiatives planned for 2005 include a co-branded debit card in Guam, a Web Cash Manager product for our business customers, expanded use of new computerized cross-selling tools, and new real estate loan products to meet the needs of our customers.
     First Hawaiian Bank has also made a series of organizational changes to place increased emphasis on wealth management services such as private banking, financial and estate planning, trust and investments, which are considered key sources of growth for the Bank’s future. Responsibilities previously concentrated in the Bank’s Financial Management Group have been realigned to improve delivery of these services. A Private Banking department has been created within the Retail Banking Group to focus on private client relationship management, financial and estate planning and business development.
     Key among the elements of the Company’s profitability has been the interest rate environment, from both a deposit and loan pricing standpoint. As an industry, banks and other financial intermediaries have seen net interest margins decline over the past year principally as a result of the absolute level and shape of the yield curve. We manage the interest rate and market risks inherent in our asset and liability balances, while ensuring ample liquidity and diverse funding.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
     Our significant accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our financial position and results of operations and are discussed in detail in Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. We have identified two accounting estimates that we believe are critical due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary and because it is likely that materially different results would be reported if different judgments, assumptions and estimates were used. These estimates relate to the allowance for loan and lease losses and goodwill and are described in more detail in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K in the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
     Income Statement Analysis
     Second quarter 2005 compared with second quarter 2004
     The Company reported net income of $149.1 million, compared with $114.8 million, an increase of 30.0%. The increase in the income statement categories and earning assets were due, in large part to the acquisitions of Community First Bankshares and USDB Bancorp in November 2004. Net interest income was $394.9 million, compared with $322.3 million. A significant portion of the increase was due to growth in average earning assets, offset by a lower net interest margin for the quarter. Average loans and leases increased by $6.8 billion and average securities available for sale increased by $2.9 billion. The net interest margin decreased 22 basis points (1% equals 100 basis points) as a result of the effects of a flattening yield curve in which short-term rates have risen more quickly than long-term rates. Noninterest income was $133.2 million compared with $110.0 million, an increase of 21.1%, predominately due to the increases in service charges on deposit accounts, other service charges and fees and vehicle and equipment operating lease income. Noninterest expense was $283.6 million compared with $232.2 million, an increase of 22.1%, predominately due to increases in salaries and wages, employee benefits, outside services, occupancy, intangible amortization and equipment.
     Six-month period 2005 compared with six-month period 2004
     The Company reported net income of $285.8 million, compared with $227.8 million, an increase of 25.4%. The increase in the income statement categories and earning assets were due, in large part to the acquisitions of Community First Bankshares and USDB Bancorp in November 2004. Net interest income was $789.3 million, compared with $643.3 million. A significant portion of the increase was due to growth in average earning assets, offset by a lower net interest margin for the period. Average loans and leases

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
increased by $6.8 billion, up 25.9%, primarily due to the two acquisitions and internal growth and average securities available for sale increased by $2.7 billion. The net interest margin decreased 20 basis points (1% equals 100 basis points) as a result of the effects of a flattening yield curve in which short-term rates have risen more quickly than long-term rates. Noninterest income was $256.0 million compared with $211.5 million, an increase of 21.0%, predominately due to the increases in trust and investment services income, service charges on deposit accounts, other service charges and fees and vehicle and equipment operating lease income. Noninterest expense was $575.7 million compared with $451.1 million, an increase of 27.6%, predominately due to increases in salaries and wages, employee benefits, occupancy, outside services, intangible amortization, equipment, depreciation on vehicle and equipment operating leases, stationery and supplies and restructuring and integration costs.
     Balance Sheet Analysis
     The Company had total assets of $52.5 billion at June 30, 2005, an increase of 4.9% from December 31, 2004 and 30.4% from June 30, 2004. Securities available for sale totaled $9.0 billion, an increase of 13.5% from December 31, 2004 and 55.0% from June 30, 2004. Loans and leases totaled $34.0 billion, up 3.9% from December 31, 2004 and 24.9% from a year ago. Deposits were $34.6 billion, up 3.0% from December 31, 2004 and 23.8% from a year ago. The increases from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005 were due internal growth. The increases over June 30, 2004 were primarily due to the two acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2004.
     The Company’s nonperforming assets were 0.42% of loans, leases and foreclosed properties at June 30, 2005, 0.45% at December 31, 2004 and 0.52% at June 30, 2004. The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $423.3 million, a decrease of 3.0% from December 31, 2004 and an increase of 6.9% from June 30, 2004. The provision for loan and lease losses for the three and six months ending June 30, 2005 was $3.2 million and $14.3 million, respectively, compared with $11.9 million and $30.8 million for the same periods of 2004. The reduction was due to the improvement in the credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio.
     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     Net Interest Income
     Second quarter 2005 compared with second quarter 2004
     Net interest income increased to $394.9 million from $322.3 million.
     The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of a $10.1 billion, or 30.2% increase in average earning assets. The increase in our average earning assets was the result of increases in loans and leases and securities available for sale as a result of our acquisitions of Community First and USDB Bancorp (USDB) in the fourth quarter of 2004, purchases of loans and securities and internal growth.
     Six-month period 2005 compared with six-month period 2004
     Net interest income increased to $789.3 million as compared with $643.3 million.
     The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of a $9.9 billion, or 30.1%, increase in average earning assets. The increase in our average earning assets was the result of increases in loans and leases and securities available for sale as a result of our acquisitions of Community First and USDB in the fourth quarter of 2004, purchases of loans and securities and internal growth.
     Net Interest Margin
     Second quarter 2005 compared with second quarter 2004
     The net interest margin decreased by 22 basis points due primarily to short-term interest rates increasing faster than long-term interest rates. Our yield on earning assets increased by 42 basis points to 5.48% from 5.06%, while our rates paid on sources of funds increased by 79 basis points to 2.30% from 1.51%. The impact of our noninterest-bearing sources increased 15 basis points to 0.48% from 0.33%.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     Six-month period 2005 compared with six-month period 2004
     The net interest margin decreased by 20 basis points due primarily to short-term interest rates increasing faster than long-term interest rates. Our yield on earning assets increased by 32 basis points to 5.43% from 5.11%, while our rates paid on sources of funds increased by 62 basis points to 2.14% from 1.52%. The impact of our noninterest-bearing sources increased 10 basis points to 0.44% from 0.34%.
     Average Earning Assets
     Second quarter 2005 compared with second quarter 2004
     The increase in average earning assets was predominately due to increases in the average loan and lease portfolio and higher average securities available for sale. The $6.8 billion, or 25.6%, increase in average total loans and leases was predominately due to increases in consumer lending, commercial and commercial real estate lending, purchased residential mortgages and loans and leases acquired from Community First and USDB. Consumer, commercial and commercial real estate loans grew due to the strength in the consumer and business banking markets, relatively low interest rates and the two acquisitions. Average total securities available for sale were $8.9 billion, up $2.9 billion, or 48.2%, due to the two acquisitions and purchases of securities.
     Six-month period 2005 compared with six-month period 2004
     The increase in average earning assets was predominately due to increases in the average loan and lease portfolio and higher average securities available for sale. The $6.8 billion, or 25.9%, increase in average total loans and leases was predominately due to increases in consumer lending, commercial and commercial real estate lending, purchased residential mortgages and loans and leases acquired from Community First and USDB. Consumer, commercial and commercial real estate loans grew due to the strength in most of the Company’s markets, relatively low interest rates and the two acquisitions. Average total securities available for sale were $8.6 billion, up $2.7 billion, or 45.7%, due to the two acquisitions and purchases of securities.
     Average Loans and Leases
     Second quarter 2005 compared with second quarter 2004
     The increase in loans and leases was primarily due to loans and leases acquired from Community First and USDB and internal growth. Average consumer loans increased $1.4 billion, or 17.0%, primarily due to growth in financing for autos, recreational vehicles and pleasure boats, while loan purchases increased the average residential mortgage portfolio. Average residential real estate loans increased by $2.0 billion, or 39.2%, average commercial real estate increased by $1.6 billion, or 37.2%, and average commercial loans increased $1.6 billion, or 30.8%.
     Six-month period 2005 compared with six-month period 2004
     The increase in loans and leases was primarily due to loans and leases acquired from Community First and USDB and internal growth.

     Average Interest-Bearing Deposits and Liabilities
     Second quarter 2005 compared with second quarter 2004
     The $8.7 billion, or 33.4%, increase in average interest-bearing deposits and liabilities was predominately due to interest-bearing deposits and liabilities acquired from Community First and USDB, growth in our customer deposit base and increases in average long-term debt and short-term borrowings. Average deposits increased significantly within regular savings, time deposits and foreign deposit portfolios. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and repurchase agreements, including the $590 million repurchase agreement with BNP Paribas related to the two acquisitions, increased average long-term debt. The increase in short-term borrowings was largely due to increases in short-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and a short-term borrowing from BNP Paribas,

     The increase in restructuring and integration costs was related to the acquisitions of Community First and USDB.
     The increase in “Other” was primarily due to data communications, travel and entertainment and a reserve for the exposure for merchant services related to an airline that filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in December 2004.
INCOME TAXES
     Our effective income tax rates (exclusive of the tax equivalent adjustment) for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were 38.2% and 39.0%, respectively, and 37.2% and 38.9% for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2005 was predominantly due to the reversal of $9.9 million in reserves for Unitary State Tax liabilities, partly offset by an increase of $5.6 million in tax reserves for foreign leveraged leases. The $9.9 million Unitary State Tax amount was comprised of $6.4 million pertaining to the tax year 2002 and $3.5 million pertaining to the tax year 2003.
     Lease-in/lease-out (LILO) transactions have recently been subject to review on a nationwide basis by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to determine whether the tax deductions connected with such transactions are allowable for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company has entered into several LILO transactions, which have been the subject of an audit by the IRS. In April 2004, the Company received a Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR) which disallowed all deductions associated with the LILO transactions. In order to avoid potential future interest and penalties, the Company has paid, under protest, the amounts claimed by the IRS and other tax authorities in the RAR. The Company continues to believe that it properly reported its LILO transactions, has contested the results of the IRS’s audit and is in discussions with the IRS related to those results. Recently the IRS has identified certain sale-leaseback transactions as listed transactions and is in the process of reviewing them to determine whether the deductions are allowable for tax purposes. The Company has entered into several such sale-leaseback transactions, which are currently being audited by the IRS. At the present time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these issues.
OPERATING SEGMENTS
     Our reportable segments are the operating segments that we use in our internal reporting at Bank of the West and First Hawaiian Bank. Bank of the West’s segments operate primarily in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Certain Bank of the West segments conduct business nationwide. Although First Hawaiian Bank’s segments operate primarily in Hawaii, it also has significant operations outside the state, such as leveraged leases, international banking and branches in Guam and Saipan. It also has significant operations extending to California through its automobile dealer flooring and financing activities.

The increase is primarily related to the acquisitions of Community First and USDB in the fourth quarter of 2004. Noninterest income increased $19.7 million, or 44.2%. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions, which includes the added insurance agency business, investment services fees and increased debit card interchange revenue. Noninterest expense increased $52.8 million, or 49.3%. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions, which includes the insurance agency business, compensation expenses, direct occupancy costs from the acquired branch network and increased debit card processing from the larger debit card customer base.
     Average loans and leases increased $4.2 billion, or 70.3%. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions and continued purchases of residential loans during the quarter.

The increase in net interest income is primarily related to an increase in loans and leases and deposit balances, offset by a decrease in margins. Noninterest income increased $5.2 million, or 31.1%. The increase in noninterest income is primarily related to increased trust fees due to accounts acquired from the acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2004 and gains on sale of other real estate owned, primarily offset by a decrease in asset management fees. Noninterest expense increased $3.1 million, or 9.1%. The increase is primarily due to higher salaries and wages and employee healthcare benefits as a result of the increased full-time equivalent employees from the acquisitions. Provision for loan and lease losses decreased $9.8 million in 2005, primarily related to large recoveries.
     Average loans and leases increased 20.0% to $9.1 billion. The increase was primarily due to increases in commercial, SBA and construction loans from internal growth and the acquisitions.
     Average deposits increased 37.5% to $4.8 billion. The growth in deposits was largely from an increase in short-term negotiable CD’s.

Noninterest expense increased $5.9 million, or 8.9%. The increase is primarily due to higher salaries and wages and employee healthcare benefits as a result of the increased full-time equivalent employees from the acquisitions. Provision for loan and lease losses decreased $10.4 million in 2005, primarily related to large recoveries.
     Average loans and leases increased 19.8% to $8.9 billion. The increase was primarily due to increases in commercial, SBA and construction loans from internal growth and the acquisitions.

Net interest income was $55.9 million, compared to $51.2 million in 2004, an increase of 9.2%. Noninterest income increased $1.0 million, or 15.4% to $7.5 million. Noninterest expense increased $1.4 million to $22.8 million in 2005. The increase is primarily due to higher employee healthcare benefits and a decrease in deferred loan origination costs.
     Average assets as of June 30, 2005 were $9.1 billion compared to $8.4 billion at June 30, 2004, an increase of $0.7 billion, or 7.8%. This increase is due to indirect loan production and the addition of assets from the acquisition of Community First in the fourth quarter of 2004.
     Six-month period 2005 as compared with six-month period 2004
     The Consumer Finance Segment’s net income increased $9.0 million, 27.9% to $41.3 million compared to $32.3 million for the same period in 2004.

The increase is partially due to accounting for auto leases originated from February through July 2004 as operating leases rather than direct finance leases. This increase was partially offset by lower gains on sales of loans through our Essex subsidiary. In February 2004 Essex began retaining certain types of loans in its own portfolio. Noninterest expense increased $6.5 million to $44.9 million in 2005. The increase is primarily due to higher depreciation on vehicle and equipment operating leases as a result of accounting for the above mentioned auto leases as operating leases, higher employee healthcare benefits and a decrease in deferred loan origination costs. The provision for loan and lease losses decreased $8.6 million from $21.8 million to $13.2 million, due to an improvement in credit quality.

     The Company focuses on the following four objectives for its available-for-sale portfolio:
    Support its need for liquidity to fund loans or to meet unexpected deposit runoff. Liquidity can be met by having investments with relatively short maturities and/or a high degree of marketability.
 
    Act as a vehicle to make meaningful shifts in the Company’s overall interest rate risk profile.
 
    Provide collateral to secure the Company’s public funds-taking activities.
 
    Provide the maximum level of after-tax earnings consistent with the safety factors of quality, maturity, liquidity and risk diversification.

LOANS AND LEASES
     We continue our efforts to diversify our loan and lease portfolio, both geographically and by industry. Our overall growth in loan and lease volume came primarily from internal growth and the acquisitions of Community First and USDB in the fourth quarter of 2004. See Note 5 (Loans and Leases) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
     The loan and lease portfolio is the largest component of total earning assets and accounts for the greatest portion of total interest income. At June 30, 2005, total loans and leases represented 64.7% of total assets, compared with 65.3% at December 31, 2004 and 67.5% at June 30, 2004. As a percentage of total interest earning assets, total loans and leases were 77.2% at June 30, 2005, 78.0% at December 31, 2004 and 80.9% at June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2005, total loans and leases were 98.1% of total deposits compared with 97.2% at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.
     Total loans and leases increased by 24.9% from June 30, 2004 to June 30, 2005. Consumer loans increased $1.3 billion, or 15.6%, substantially due to customers taking advantage of the low interest rate environment, and from the acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2004. Residential real estate loans increased $2.2 billion, or 40.3%, primarily due to the acquisitions and purchases of loans since the second quarter of 2004. Commercial real estate loans increased $1.6 billion, or 29.8%, predominately due to the acquisition of Community First. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans increased 26.4% compared with the same period in the prior year. Total loans and leases increased by 3.9% from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005. The increase was mostly due to an increase in residential real estate loans of $1.0 billion, as a result of purchases during 2005. In the context of interest rate trends and the broader economy, we continuously monitor the mix in our loan and lease portfolio.

     The increase in nonaccrual loans from December 31, 2004 was due to an increase in commercial, financial and agricultural and construction real estate nonaccrual loans as a result of a few large loans being moved to nonaccrual status in 2005. A significant portion of the increase was offset by a decrease in commercial real estate nonaccrual loans, due to the resolution of problem relationships. The increase in nonaccrual loans from June 30, 2004 was due to the increase in real estate nonaccrual loans. The increase in real estate nonaccrual loans was mostly due to the acquisition of nonaccrual loans from Community First and a few large loans that were moved to nonaccrual status in 2005. These increases were primarily offset by a decrease in commercial, financial and agricultural nonaccrual loans as a result of resolutions of problem relationships.
     As a percentage of loans and leases, nonaccrual loans decreased 8 basis points from 0.45% at June 30, 2004 to 0.37% at June 30, 2005. The decrease was substantially due to decreases in commercial, financial and agricultural (0.91% at June 30, 2005 compared with 1.27% at June 30, 2004) and foreign (0.72% at June 30, 2005 compared with 1.48% at June 30, 2004), mostly offset by an increase in real estate construction (0.61% at June 30, 2005 compared with zero at June 30, 2004). The decrease in commercial, financial and agricultural was primarily due to the resolution of problem relationships and growth in loans outstanding. The decrease

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
in foreign was due to the resolution of a large problem relationship, partially offset by a decrease in the foreign loans outstanding. The increase in real estate construction was due to loans acquired in the acquisition of Community First that were placed on nonaccrual since November 2004.
     We generally place a loan or lease on nonaccrual status when we believe that collection of principal or interest has become doubtful or when loans or leases are 90 days past due as to principal or interest, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. We may make an exception to the general 90-day-past-due rule when the fair value of the collateral exceeds our recorded investment in the loan.
     Consumer loans and leases are subject to our general policies regarding nonaccrual loans and substantially all past-due consumer loans and leases are charged off upon reaching a predetermined delinquency status varying from 120 to 180 days, depending on product type.
     When we place a loan or lease on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest income of the current period. When we receive a cash payment on a nonaccrual loan, we apply it as a reduction of the principal balance when we have doubts about the ultimate collection of the principal. Otherwise, we record such payments as income.
     Nonaccrual loans and leases are generally returned to accrual status when they: (1) become current as to principal and interest and have demonstrated a sustained period of payment performance or (2) become both well secured and in the process of collection.
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
     The provision for loan and lease losses is based upon our judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses (the Allowance) to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The Company uses a systematic methodology to determine the adequacy of the Allowance and related provision for loan and lease losses to be reported for financial statement purposes. The determination of the adequacy of the Allowance is ultimately one of judgment, which includes consideration of many factors, including, among other things, the amount of problem and potential problem loans and leases, net charge-off experience, changes in the composition of the loan and lease portfolio by type and location of loans and leases, change in the overall loan and lease risk profile, general economic factors and the fair value of collateral. The analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan and lease losses, including charge-offs and recoveries, is presented in Note 6 (Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Our approach to managing exposure to credit risk involves an integrated program of setting appropriate standards for credit underwriting and diversification, monitoring trends that may affect the risk profile of the credit portfolio and making appropriate adjustments to reflect changes in economic and financial conditions that could affect the quality of the portfolio and loss probability. The components of this integrated program include:
    Setting Underwriting and Grading Standards. Our loan grading system uses ten different principal risk categories where 1 is no risk and 10 is loss. We continue efforts to decrease our exposure to customers in the weaker credit categories. The cost of credit risk is an integral part of the pricing and evaluation of credit decisions and the setting of portfolio targets.
 
    Diversification. We actively manage our credit portfolio to avoid excessive concentrations by obligor, risk grade, industry, product and geographic location. In addition, we seek to reduce our exposure to concentrations by actively participating portions of our commercial and commercial real estate loans to other banks.
 
    Risk Mitigation. We manage our exposure to higher risk areas through application of prudent underwriting policies.
 
    Emphasis on Consumer Lending. Consumer loans represent our single largest category of loans and leases. We use formula-based approaches to calculate appropriate reserve levels that reflect historical loss experience. We generally do not participate in subprime lending activities. We also seek to reduce our credit exposures where feasible by obtaining third-party insurance or similar protections. For example, in our vehicle lease portfolio (which represents approximately 33.4% of our lease financing portfolio and 6.2% of our combined lease financing and consumer loans at June 30, 2005), we obtain third-party insurance for the estimated residual value of the leased vehicle, and set aside reserves to cover the uninsured portion.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.25% of total loans and leases at June 30, 2005, compared with 1.33% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2004 and 1.46% at June 30, 2004. Compared with the same periods a year ago, net charge-offs were $0.4 million higher and $1.1 million higher in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. This was driven by an increase in installment loan charge offs (Auto and RV’s), offset by a few large loan recoveries.
     In our judgment, the Allowance was adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio at June 30, 2005. However, changes in prevailing economic conditions in our markets could result in changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs in the future and, accordingly, changes in the Allowance. We will continue to closely monitor economic developments and make necessary adjustments to the Allowance accordingly.
DEPOSITS
     Deposits are the largest component of our total liabilities and account for 52.1% and 50.9% of total interest expense during the second quarter of 2005 and first six months of 2005, respectively. At June 30, 2005, total deposits were $34.6 billion, an increase of 3.0% over December 31, 2004 and an increase of 23.8% over June 30, 2004. The increase from June 30, 2004 was predominately due to growth in our customer deposit base and the acquisitions of Community First and USDB. The increase from December 2004 was primarily due to growth in our time deposits over $100 thousand. Rates paid on deposits have increased based on current market conditions. Additional information on our average deposit balances and rates paid is provided in Table 1: Average Balances, Interest Income and Expense, and Yields and Rates (Taxable-Equivalent Basis).
CAPITAL
     Stockholder’s equity totaled $6.0 billion at June 30, 2005, an increase of $273.3 million, or 4.8%, from December 31, 2004 and $1.6 billion, or 35.5%, from June 30, 2004. The increase from December 2004 was predominately due to net income earned by the Company during the first six months of 2005, offset by changes in other comprehensive income. The increase from June 30, 2004 was predominately due to an issuance of common stock of the Company for the acquisitions of Community First and USDB and net income for the last 12 months.
LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
     Liquidity refers to our ability to provide sufficient short and long-term cash flows to fund operations and to meet obligations and commitments, including depositor withdrawals and debt service, on a timely basis at reasonable cost. We achieve our liquidity objectives with both assets and liabilities. Further, while liquidity positions are managed separately by the Company and its two subsidiary Banks, both short-term and long-term activities are coordinated between the two subsidiary Banks.
     We obtain short-term asset-based liquidity through our investment securities portfolio, principally short-term securities, and other liquid assets, which can be readily converted to cash. These assets consist of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, trading assets, securities purchased under agreements to resell, securities available for sale and loans held for sale. Such assets represented 22.1%, 21.3% and 20.1% of total assets at June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, respectively.
     Intermediate and longer-term asset liquidity is primarily provided by regularly scheduled maturities and cash flows from loans and securities. Additional liquidity is available from certain assets that can be sold, securitized or used as collateral for borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank such as consumer and mortgage loans.
     We obtain short-term, liability-based liquidity primarily from deposits. Average total deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $34.5 billion an increase of 28.9% from the same period of 2004. The increase was due to the acquisitions of Community First and USDB in November 2004, an increase in time deposits over $100 thousand and continued expansion of our customer base in the Western United States. Average total deposits funded 67.5% of average total assets for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 68.9% for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2004.

     Further information on short-term borrowings is provided in Note 13 (Short-term Borrowings) to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Offshore deposits in the international market provide another available source of funds.
     Funds raised in the intermediate and longer-term markets are structured to avoid concentration of maturities and to reduce refinancing risk. We also attempt to diversify the types of instruments issued to avoid undue reliance on any one market or funding source.
     Liquidity for the parent company is primarily provided by dividend and interest income from its subsidiaries. Short-term cash requirements are met through liquidation of short-term investments. Longer-term liquidity is provided by access to the capital markets or from transactions with BancWest’s parent company, BNP Paribas.
     The Parent’s ability to pay dividends depends primarily upon dividends and other payments from its subsidiaries, which are subject to certain limitations as described in Note 17 (Limitation on Payments of Dividends) to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     Our borrowing costs and ability to raise funds are a function of our credit ratings and any change in those ratings. The following table reflects the ratings of Bank of the West and First Hawaiian Bank:

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
     We have adopted numerous new or modifications to existing standards, rules or regulations promulgated by various standard setting and regulatory bodies. Chief among these are the federal financial institutions regulators, the SEC and the FASB. The following section highlights important developments in the area of accounting and disclosure requirements. This discussion is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of the impact of all standards and rules adopted.
     In May 2005, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement requires changes in accounting principles and corrections of errors, to be applied retrospectively to prior periods, unless it is deemed impracticable to do so. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Currently, the application of this statement does not have an impact to our financial statements. However, the future impact could be significant, if the Company were to elect changes to our accounting principles, or discover errors in previously issued financial statements.
     In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. This statement is based upon the principle that transactions involving nonmonetary assets should be measured based upon their fair market value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not believe this statement will have a material impact on our financial statements, as we do not frequently enter into nonmonetary transactions.
     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Accounting for Share-Based Payment. This statement requires stock options awarded to employees to be expensed over the vesting period of the option, at the fair value at the grant date using an option-pricing model. This statement is effective at the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company currently accounts for stock based compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations, as allowed under FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This pronouncement will increase the amount of compensation expense per period, however, we believe this statement will not have a significant impact to our financial statements.
     In June 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) published EITF 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments (EITF 03-1). EITF 03-1 clarifies the impairment methodology used to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. The guidance includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. EITF 03-1 applies to all investments accounted for in accordance with the provisions of FAS 115, certain debt and equity securities within the scope of Statement 124, and equity securities that are not subject to the scope of Statement 115 and not accounted for under the equity method of accounting. On September 30, 2004, the FASB staff published FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-1-1. FSP EITF 03-1-1 delays the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1, while the FASB considered application guidance. In June 2005, the FASB reached a decision and is expected to issue a final FSP. We will evaluate the new guidance when it is issued.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk Measurement and Management
     Interest rate risk, one of the leading risks in terms of potential earnings impact, is an essential element of being a financial intermediary. The Company’s net interest income is subject to interest rate risk to the extent our interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits and borrowings) mature or reprice on a different basis than our interest-earning assets (primarily loans, leases and investment securities). When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets during a given period, an increase in interest rates could reduce net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, a decrease in interest rates could have a negative impact on net interest income. In addition, the impact of interest rate swings may be exacerbated by factors such as our customers’ propensity to manage their demand deposit balances more or less aggressively or to refinance loans. Short and long-term market rates may change independent of each other resulting in changes to the slope and absolute level of the yield curve.
     The Asset/Liability Committees of BancWest and its major subsidiaries are responsible for managing interest rate risk. The Asset/Liability Committees generally meet monthly or quarterly. The committees may recommend changes to a particular subsidiary’s interest rate profile to their respective Board of Directors, should changes be necessary and depart significantly from established policies.
     Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed primarily by taking actions that impact certain balance sheet accounts (e.g., lengthening or shortening maturities in the investment portfolio, changing asset and/or liability mix — including increasing or decreasing the amount of fixed and/or variable instruments held by the Company — to adjust sensitivity to interest rate changes) and/or by utilizing instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options or forwards.
     Derivatives entered into for trading purposes include commitments to purchase and sell foreign currencies and certain interest rate swaps and options. We also enter into customer accommodation interest rate swaps and foreign exchange spot and forward contracts as well as contracts to offset either the customer’s counter-position or our foreign currency denominated deposits. These contracts basically offset each other and they do not expose us to material losses resulting from interest rate or foreign currency fluctuations.
     The Company and its subsidiaries use computer simulation models to evaluate net interest income in order to quantify exposure to changes in interest rates. Generally, the balance sheet is subjected to interest rate shocks up in 100 basis-point increments and down in 100 basis-point increments. Each account-level item is repriced according to its respective contractual characteristics, including any embedded options which might exist (e.g., periodic interest rate caps or floors or loans and leases which permit the borrower to prepay the principal balance of the loan or lease prior to maturity without penalty). Derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps or floors are included as part of the modeling process. For each interest rate shock scenario, net interest income over a 12-month horizon is compared against the results of a scenario in which no interest rate change occurs (flat rate scenario) to determine the level of interest rate risk at that time.
     The projected impact of incremental increases and decreases in interest rates on the projected Company’s consolidated net interest income over the 12 months beginning July 1, 2005 is shown below.

     Because of the relatively low level of interest rates in the first six months of 2005, modeling below a 200-basis-point decrease was deemed not meaningful. The changes in the models are due to differences in interest rate environments which include the absolute level of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, and spreads between various benchmark rates.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Significant Assumptions Utilized and Inherent Limitations
     The net interest income changes for each interest rate scenario presented above include assumptions based on accelerating or decelerating mortgage and non-mortgage consumer loan prepayments in declining or rising scenarios, respectively, and adjusting deposit levels and mix in the different interest rate scenarios. The magnitude of changes to both areas in turn are based upon analyses of customers’ behavior in differing rate environments. However, these analyses may differ from actual future customer behavior. For example, actual prepayments may differ from current assumptions as prepayments are affected by many variables which cannot be predicted with certainty (e.g., prepayments of mortgages may differ on fixed and adjustable loans depending upon current interest rates, expectations of future interest rates, availability of refinancing, economic benefit to borrower, financial viability of borrower, etc.).
     As with any model for analyzing interest rate risk, certain limitations are inherent in the method of analysis presented above. For example, the actual impact on net interest income due to certain interest rate shocks may differ from those projections presented should market conditions vary from assumptions used in the analysis. Furthermore, the analysis does not consider the effects of a changed level of overall economic activity that could exist in certain interest rate environments. Moreover, the method of analysis used does not take into account the actions that management might take to respond to changes in interest rates because of inherent difficulties in determining the likelihood or impact of any such response.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and its chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, its chief executive officer and its chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.
     No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15(d) during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis of Presentation
     We have prepared the accompanying financial data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the Company in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. Our critical accounting policies are those that affect our financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management.
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, consolidated results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
     Descriptions of the significant accounting policies of the Company are included in Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies.
Reclassifications
     Certain amounts in the financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current financial statement presentation.
Stock-Based Compensation
     As allowed under the provisions of FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended, the Company has chosen to recognize compensation expense using the intrinsic value-based method of valuing stock options prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. Under the intrinsic value-based method, compensation cost is measured as the amount by which the quoted market price at the date of grant exceeds the stock option exercise price.
     Certain members of BancWest’s senior management team receive stock option awards from BNPP. The options do not vest until after the fourth year, at which time they are exercisable from the fourth anniversary through the tenth anniversary date. Stock option awards of the 2005 and 2003 plans have been reflected in compensation expense as the grant price was lower than the market price.

     2. Mergers and Acquisitions
Commercial Federal Corporation Acquisition
     On June 13, 2005, BancWest announced that its Bank of the West subsidiary had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Commercial Federal Corporation (CFC), the parent company of Commercial Federal Bank. It is anticipated that the purchase transaction will close in the fourth quarter of 2005, subject to regulatory approval. CFC and its branches will be integrated into Bank of the West’s branch network system. The acquisition of CFC will add 3 new states (Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma) to Bank of the West’s footprint, as well as to our market share in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa and Nebraska. CFC operates 198 branches in 7 states in the Midwest, Colorado and Arizona. At March 31, 2005, CFC had total assets of $10.4 billion, total deposits of $6.5 billion and loans of $7.8 billion. Following the acquisition, results of operations of CFC will be included in our consolidated financial statements. The purchase price of approximately $1.36 billion will be paid in cash and the acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.
     In connection with the acquisition, management is in the process of assessing and formulating restructuring plans. These restructuring plans will target areas where there is a significant amount of overlap between the two companies. This includes consolidating administrative and support services including sales and marketing and to focus the Company’s resources on activities that will promote growth. We will be consolidating excess facilities and evaluating areas where we will be able to take advantage of existing facilities. As management is still in the process of developing the plans, estimates of associated exit costs and other restructuring costs yet to be incurred have not been determined at this time.
Community First Bankshares Acquisition
     During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company acquired Community First Bankshares, Inc. (Community First). The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 Business Combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.

3. Derivative Financial Instruments
     Any portion of the changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as a hedge that is deemed ineffective is recorded in current period earnings; this amount was not material in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
Fair Value Hedges
     The Company has various derivative instruments that hedge the fair values of recognized assets or liabilities or of unrecognized firm commitments. At June 30, 2005, the Company carried an interest rate swap of $2.6 million with a fair value loss of $0.5 million that was a hedge for a commercial loan. The Company receives 1-month LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of 8.32%. At June 30, 2004, the Company carried $2.7 million of such swaps with a fair value loss of $0.5 million. In addition, at June 30, 2005, the Company carried interest rate swaps totaling $76.1 million with fair value gains of $0.1 million and fair value losses of $3.5 million that were categorized as fair value hedges for commercial and commercial real estate loans. The Company receives 6-month LIBOR and pays fixed rates ranging from 3.79% to 7.99%. At June 30, 2004, the Company carried $78.6 million of such swaps with fair value gains of $0.7 million and fair value losses of $3.3 million.
     On November 20, 2002, the Parent executed a $150 million interest rate swap agreement with BNP Paribas to hedge the fair value of the 9.5% BancWest Capital I Quarterly Income Preferred Securities (the BWE Capital Securities) issued by BancWest Capital I, which upon adoption of FIN 46,was redesignated to hedge the related subordinated debt. On June 3, 2005, the company terminated the swap. No gain or loss was recognized upon termination of the swap.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
     At June 30, 2005, the Company carried interest rate swaps totaling $5.7 million with fair value gains of $0.2 million that were categorized as hedges for repurchase agreements. The Company pays 3-month LIBOR and receives a fixed rate of 8.29%. At June 30, 2004, the Company carried $8.6 million of such swaps with a fair value gain of $0.5 million.
Cash Flow Hedges
     At June 30, 2005, the Company carried interest rate swaps of $600 million with fair value gains of $10.8 million which hedge LIBOR-based commercial loans. The hedges had fair value gains of $28.2 million at June 30, 2004. The interest rate swaps were entered into during 2001 and mature in 2006. We pay 3-month LIBOR and receive fixed rates ranging from 5.64% to 5.87%. The net settlement on the $600 million swaps has increased commercial loan interest income by $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and by $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The Company estimates net settlement gains, recorded as commercial loan interest income, of $7.4 million over the next twelve months resulting from these hedges.
     At June 30, 2005, the Company carried multiple interest rate swaps totaling $100 million with fair value gains of $1.5 million and fair value losses of $0.5 million, in order to reduce exposure to interest rate increases associated with short-term fixed rate liabilities. The swaps hedge forecasted transactions associated with short-term fixed rate liabilities. These swaps had fair value gains of $8.4 million at June 30, 2004. The swaps mature as follows: $70 million in 2013, $20 million in 2018 and $10 million in 2023. We pay fixed rates ranging from 3.65% to 4.58% and receive 3-month LIBOR. The effect on pretax income from these swaps for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was a loss of $0.7 million compared with a $1.6 million loss at June 30, 2004. The Company estimates a net increase to interest expense of $0.3 million over the next twelve months resulting from these hedges.
     Free-standing derivative instruments include derivative transactions entered into for risk management purposes that do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting. Interest rate lock commitments issued on residential mortgage loans intended to be held for resale are considered free-standing derivative instruments. Such commitments are stratified by rates and terms and are valued based on market quotes for similar loans. Adjustments, including discounting the historical fallout rate, are then applied to the estimated fair value. Trading activities primarily involve providing various free-standing interest rate and foreign exchange derivative products to customers. Interest rate derivative instruments utilized by the Company in its trading operations include interest rate swaps, caps, floors and collars.

     The following table presents the unrealized gross losses and fair value of securities in the securities available for sale portfolio at June 30, 2005, by length of time that individual securities in each category have been in a continuous loss position. Because the declines in fair value were a result of changes in market interest rates and the Company has both the ability and the intent to hold the securities until maturity or the fair value at least equals the recorded cost, no other-than-temporary impairment was recorded at June 30, 2005.

8. Regulatory Capital Requirements
     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company’s depository institution subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Tier 1 and Total capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets. The table below sets forth those ratios at June 30, 2005.

(1)   The leverage ratio consists of the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets excluding goodwill and certain other items. The minimum leverage ratio guideline is three percent for banking organizations that do not anticipate or are not experiencing significant growth, and that have well-diversified risk, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings, a strong banking organization, and are rated a composite 1 under the Uniform Financial Institution Rating System established by the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council. For all others, the minimum ratio is 4%.
     Because we are a financial holding company, only our depository institution subsidiaries are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. If these subsidiaries fail to meet minimum capital requirements, the federal agencies can initiate certain mandatory actions. Such regulatory actions could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
     Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, our depository institution subsidiaries must each meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. These capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

9. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
     The Company sponsors two noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plans in addition to unfunded nonqualified benefit pension plans that provide excess and supplemental benefits.
     Prior to June 30, 2004, the Company sponsored three postretirement benefit plans. Subsequently, two of the plans were amended for eligible employees who retire after such date. The amendment places a cap on the funding of plans and combined the two plans into one single plan.

Contributions
     The Company expects to contribute $4.2 million to its defined benefit pension plans and $3.4 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2005. These contributions are estimated needs for the unfunded plans and may vary depending on retirements during 2005. Of these amounts, the Company has contributed to its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2005. No contributions to the pension trust for funded plans are expected to be made during 2005.

10. Operating Segments
     Our reportable segments are the operating segments that we use in our internal reporting at BOW and FHB. BOW’s segments operate primarily in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. As discussed below, certain BOW segments conduct business nationwide. Although FHB’s segments operate primarily in Hawaii, it also has operations outside the state, such as leveraged leases, international banking and branches in Guam and Saipan.
     The results of each segment are determined by our management accounting process, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each reporting segment. The net interest income of each segment includes the results of the respective bank’s transfer pricing process, which assesses an internal funds charge on all segment assets and provides a funds credit on all segment liabilities. The internal charges and credits assigned to each asset and liability are intended to match the maturity, repayment and interest rate characteristics of that asset or liability. With the exception of goodwill, assets are allocated to each business segment on the basis of assumed benefit to their business operations. Goodwill is assigned on the basis of projected future earnings of the segments. The process of management accounting is dynamic and subjective. There is no comprehensive or authoritative guidance which can be followed. Changes in management structure and/or the allocation process may result in changes in allocations and transfers. In that case, results for prior periods would be (and have been) reclassified for comparability. Results for 2004 have been reclassified to reflect changes in the organizational hierarchy, including the Private Banking reorganization at First Hawaiian Bank, and tax provision allocation methodology applied in 2005.
Bank of the West
     BOW manages its operations through three operating segments: Regional Banking, Commercial Banking and Consumer Finance.
     Regional Banking
     Regional Banking seeks to serve a broad customer base by offering a wide range of retail and commercial banking products. Deposit products offered by this segment include checking accounts, savings deposits, market rate accounts, individual retirement accounts and time deposits. Regional Banking utilizes its branch network in sixteen states as its principal funding source. BOW’s telephone banking service, a network of automated teller machines and the online eTimeBanker service provide retail customers with other means of accessing and managing their accounts.
     Through its branch network, this business segment originates a variety of consumer loans, including real estate secured installment loans and lines of credit and, to a lesser extent, other collateralized and non-collateralized installment loans. In addition, Regional Banking originates and holds a portfolio of first mortgage loans on 1-4 family residences. Through commercial banking operations conducted from its branch network, Regional Banking offers a wide range of commercial banking products intended to serve the needs of smaller community-based businesses. These include originations of standardized loan and deposit products for businesses with relatively simple banking and financing needs. Regional Banking also provides a number of fee-based products and private banking services including trust, insurance and investment services.
     More complex and customized commercial banking services are offered through the segment’s Business Banking Centers which serve clusters of branches and provide lending, deposit and cash management services to companies operating in the respective market areas. Business Banking Centers support commercial lending activities for middle market business customers in locations throughout California, as well as Portland, Oregon, Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada, Albuquerque and Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Salt Lake City, Utah.
     Through its insurance subsidiary, BW Insurance Agency, Regional Banking offers a wide variety of insurance services for both individuals and small businesses. The BW Insurance Agency product set includes auto, home and life, as well as numerous commercial insurance options. The company operates 57 insurance agencies in eight states: Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
     BancWest Investment Services Inc., (BWIS), another subsidiary, offers individuals a wide array of mutual funds, annuities, IRA accounts, other tax-advantaged accounts and education savings plans. BWIS operates its own broker/dealer and employs licensed investment specialists to meet with clients in branches or at their clients’ place of business.

Conversion of these relationships to BWIS is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2005.
