FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report and other presentations made by Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (HECO) and their subsidiaries contain “forward-looking statements,” which include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and usually include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “predicts,” “estimates” or similar expressions. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance, ongoing business strategies or prospects or possible future actions are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and the accuracy of assumptions concerning HEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), the performance of the industries in which they do business and economic and market factors, among other things. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.

 

Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and from historical results include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·            international, national and local economic conditions, including the state of the Hawaii tourism, defense and construction industries, the strength or weakness of the Hawaii and continental U.S. real estate markets (including the fair value and/or the actual performance of collateral underlying loans held by American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB), which could result in higher loan loss provisions and write-offs), decisions concerning the extent of the presence of the federal government and military in Hawaii, and the implications and potential impacts of capital and credit market conditions and federal and state responses to those conditions;

·            weather and natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning strikes and the potential effects of global warming, such as more severe storms and rising sea levels), including their impact on Company operations and the economy (e.g., the effect of the March 2011 natural disasters in Japan on its economy and tourism in Hawaii);

·            global developments, including unrest and conflict in North Africa and the Middle East, terrorist acts, the war on terrorism, continuing U.S. presence in Afghanistan and potential conflict or crisis with North Korea;

·            the timing and extent of changes in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve;

·            the ability of the Company to access credit markets to obtain commercial paper and other short-term and long-term debt financing (including lines of credit) and to access capital markets to issue HEI common stock under volatile and challenging market conditions, and the cost of such financings, if available;

·            the risks inherent in changes in the value of pension and other retirement plan assets and securities available for sale;

·            changes in laws, regulations, market conditions and other factors that result in changes in assumptions used to calculate retirement benefits costs and funding requirements;

·            the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) and of the rules and regulations that the Dodd-Frank Act requires to be promulgated;

·            increasing competition in the banking industry (e.g., increased price competition for deposits, or an outflow of deposits to alternative investments, which may have an adverse impact on ASB’s cost of funds);

·            the implementation of the Energy Agreement with the State of Hawaii and Consumer Advocate (Energy Agreement) setting forth the goals and objectives of a Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI), revenue decoupling and the fulfillment by the electric utilities of their commitments under the Energy Agreement (given the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) approvals needed; the PUC’s potential delay in considering HCEI-related costs; reliance by the Company on outside parties like the state, independent power producers (IPPs) and developers; potential changes in political support for the HCEI; and uncertainties surrounding wind power, the proposed undersea cable (to bring power to Oahu from Lanai and/or Molokai), biofuels, environmental assessments and the impacts of implementation of the HCEI on future costs of electricity);

·            capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, especially if generating units (utility-owned or IPP-owned) fail or measures such as demand-side management (DSM), distributed generation (DG), combined heat and power or other firm capacity supply-side resources fall short of achieving their forecasted benefits or are otherwise insufficient to reduce or meet peak demand;

·            the risk to generation reliability when generation peak reserve margins on Oahu are strained;

·            fuel oil price changes, performance by suppliers of their fuel oil delivery obligations and the continued availability to the electric utilities of their energy cost adjustment clauses (ECACs);

·            the impact of fuel price volatility on customer satisfaction and political and regulatory support for the utilities;

 

iv



Table of Contents

 

·            the risks associated with increasing reliance on renewable energy, as contemplated under the Energy Agreement, including the availability and cost of non-fossil fuel supplies for renewable energy generation and the operational impacts of adding intermittent sources of renewable energy to the electric grid;

·            the ability of IPPs to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in their power purchase agreements (PPAs);

·            the ability of the electric utilities to negotiate, periodically, favorable fuel supply and collective bargaining agreements;

·            new technological developments that could affect the operations and prospects of HEI and its subsidiaries (including HECO and its subsidiaries and ASB) or their competitors;

·            federal, state, county and international governmental and regulatory actions, such as changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to HEI, HECO, ASB and their subsidiaries (including changes in taxation, increases in capital requirements, regulatory changes resulting from the HCEI, environmental laws and regulations, the regulation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, governmental fees and assessments (such as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments), and potential carbon “cap and trade” legislation that may fundamentally alter costs to produce electricity and accelerate the move to renewable generation);

·            decisions by the PUC in rate cases and other proceedings (including the risks of delays in the timing of decisions, adverse changes in final decisions from interim decisions and the disallowance of project costs);

·            decisions by the PUC and by other agencies and courts on land use, environmental and other permitting issues (such as required corrective actions and restrictions and penalties that may arise, such as with respect to environmental conditions or renewable portfolio standards (RPS));

·            potential enforcement actions by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (or its regulatory successors, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board) and other governmental authorities (such as consent orders, required corrective actions, restrictions and penalties that may arise, for example, with respect to compliance deficiencies under existing or new banking and consumer protection laws and regulations or with respect to capital adequacy);

·            ability to recover increasing costs and earn a reasonable return on capital investments not covered by revenue adjustment mechanisms;

·            the risks associated with the geographic concentration of HEI’s businesses and ASB’s loans, ASB’s concentration in a single product type (i.e., first mortgages) and ASB’s significant credit relationships (i.e., concentrations of large loans and/or credit lines with certain customers);

·            changes in accounting principles applicable to HEI, HECO, ASB and their subsidiaries, including the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards or new U.S. accounting standards, the potential discontinuance of regulatory accounting and the effects of potentially required consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) or required capital lease accounting for PPAs with IPPs;

·            changes by securities rating agencies in their ratings of the securities of HEI and HECO and the results of financing efforts;

·            faster than expected loan prepayments that can cause an acceleration of the amortization of premiums on loans and investments and the impairment of mortgage-servicing assets of ASB;

·            changes in ASB’s loan portfolio credit profile and asset quality which may increase or decrease the required level of allowance for loan losses and charge-offs;

·            changes in ASB’s deposit cost or mix which may have an adverse impact on ASB’s cost of funds;

·            the final outcome of tax positions taken by HEI, HECO, ASB and their subsidiaries;

·            the risks of suffering losses and incurring liabilities that are uninsured or underinsured; and

·            other risks or uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and in other reports (e.g., “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K) previously and subsequently filed by HEI and/or HECO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, presentation or filing in which they are made. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, HEI, HECO, ASB and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1 · Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the following notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in HEI’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEI’s Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

 

In the opinion of HEI’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to fairly state the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q or other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. When required, certain reclassifications are made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Intercompany electricity sales of the electric utilities to the bank and “other” segments are not eliminated because those segments would need to purchase electricity from another source if it were not provided by consolidated HECO, the profit on such sales is nominal and the elimination of electric sales revenues and expenses could distort segment operating income and net income for common stock.

 

Bank fees that ASB charges the electric utility and “other” segments are not eliminated because those segments would pay fees to another financial institution if they were to bank with another institution, the profit on such fees is nominal and the elimination of bank fee income and expenses could distort segment operating income and net income for common stock.

Other borrowings consisted of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Seattle of $174 million and $65 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2011 and $172 million and $65 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.

 

Bank-owned life insurance is life insurance purchased by ASB on the lives of certain key employees, with ASB as the beneficiary. The insurance is used to fund employee benefits through tax-free income from increases in the cash value of the policies and insurance proceeds paid to ASB upon an insured’s death.

 

As of June 30, 2011, ASB had total commitments to borrowers for loan commitments and unused lines and letters of credit of $1.3 billion.

The unrealized losses on ASB’s investments in obligations issued by federal agencies were caused by interest rate movements. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because ASB does not intend to sell the securities and has determined it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized costs bases, which may be at maturity, ASB does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2011.

 

The fair values of ASB’s investment securities could decline if interest rates rise or spreads widen.

Allowance for loan losses.  ASB must maintain an allowance for loan losses that is adequate to absorb estimated probable credit losses associated with its loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses consists of an allocated portion, which estimates credit losses for specifically identified loans and pools of loans, and an unallocated portion.

Credit quality.  ASB performs an internal loan review and grading on an ongoing basis. The review provides management with periodic information as to the quality of the loan portfolio and effectiveness of its lending policies and procedures. The objectives of the loan review and grading procedures are to identify, in a timely manner, existing or emerging credit quality problems so that appropriate steps can be initiated to avoid or minimize future losses. Loans subject to grading include commercial, commercial real estate and commercial construction loans.

 

A ten-point risk rating system is used to determine loan grade and is based on borrower loan risk. The risk rating is a numerical representation of risk based on the overall assessment of the borrower’s financial and operating strength including earnings, operating cash flow, debt service capacity, asset and liability structure, competitive issues, experience and quality of management, financial reporting issues and industry/economic factors.

Table of Contents

 

The loan grade categories are:

 

1- Substantially risk free

 

6- Acceptable risk

2- Minimal risk

 

7- Special mention

3- Modest risk

 

8- Substandard

4- Better than average risk

 

9- Doubtful

5- Average risk

 

10- Loss

 

Grades 1 through 6 are considered pass grades. Pass exposures generally are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral.

 

The credit risk profile by internally assigned grade for loans was as follows:

Litigation.  In March 2011, a purported class action lawsuit was filed by a customer who claimed that ASB had improperly charged overdraft fees on debit card transactions. Management is evaluating the merits of the claims alleged in the lawsuit, which is in its preliminary stage. Thus, the outcome is not determinable.

 

5 · Retirement benefits

 

Retirement benefit plan changes.  On March 11, 2011, the utilities’ union members ratified a new benefit agreement, which included changes to retirement benefits. Changes to retirement benefits for HEI and utility employees commencing employment after April 30, 2011 include a reduction of benefits provided through the defined benefit plan (the Retirement Plan for Employees of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. and Participating Subsidiaries) and the addition of a 50% match by the applicable employer on the first 6% of employee deferrals through the defined contribution plan (under the Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan (HEIRSP)). In addition, new eligibility rules and contribution levels applicable to existing and new HEI and utility employees were adopted for postretirement welfare benefits. In general, defined pension benefits are based on the employees’ years of service and compensation.

 

Defined benefit plans.  For the six months of 2011, HEI contributed $0.5 million (unconsolidated) to its retirement benefit plans, compared to $0.4 million in the first six months of 2010. HEI’s current estimate of contributions to its

Table of Contents

 

retirement benefit plans in 2011 is $2 million (unconsolidated), compared to $1 million in 2010. In addition, HEI expects to pay directly $1 million (unconsolidated) of benefits in 2011, comparable to 2010. For a discussion of HECO’s 2011 estimated contributions to the retirement benefit plans, see Note 4, “Retirement benefits,” of HECO’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The components of net periodic benefit cost for consolidated HEI were as follows:

Consolidated HEI recorded retirement benefits expense of $20 million and $19 million in the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively, and charged the remaining amounts primarily to electric utility plant.

 

Defined contribution plans.  For the first six months of 2011 and 2010, ASB’s expense for its employees participating in the ASB 401(k) Plan was $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively. For the first six months of both 2011 and 2010, ASB’s cash contributions to the plan were $2.8 million.

 

For the first six months of 2011, the Company’s expense for matching contributions under the HEIRSP was immaterial.

 

6 · Share-based compensation

 

Under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (EIP), HEI can issue an aggregate of 4 million shares of common stock as incentive compensation to selected employees in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares and other share-based and cash-based awards.

 

Through June 30, 2011, grants under the EIP consisted of 18,009 restricted shares (counted against the shares authorized for issuance under EIP as four shares for every share issued, or 72,036 shares), 162,517 restricted stock units (which will be counted against the shares authorized for issuance under EIP as four shares for every share issued when issued or 650,068 shares) and 371,957 shares that may be issued under the 2011-2013 long-term incentive plan (LTIP) at maximum levels.

 

Under the 1987 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (SOIP), grants and awards of an estimated 0.8 million shares of common stock (based on various assumptions, including LTIP awards at maximum levels and the use of the June 30, 2011 market price of shares as the price on the exercise/payment dates) were outstanding as of June 30, 2011 to selected employees in the form of nonqualified stock options (NQSOs), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units, LTIP performance and other shares and dividend equivalents. As of May 11, 2010, no new awards may be granted under the SOIP. After the shares of common stock for the outstanding SOIP grants and awards are issued or such grants and awards expire, the remaining shares registered under the SOIP will be deregistered and delisted.

 

The Company’s share-based compensation expense and related income tax benefit were as follows:

(1)        Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share. The grant date fair value of a restricted stock award share was the closing or average price of HEI common stock on the date of grant.

 

For the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, total restricted stock vested had a fair value of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, total restricted stock vested had a fair value of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The tax benefits realized for the tax deductions related to restricted stock awards were $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2011, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted shares and restricted stock awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

LTIP payable in stock.  The 2011-2013 LTIP provides for performance awards under the EIP and the 2009-2011 LTIP and the 2010-2012 LTIP provide for performance awards under the SOIP of shares of HEI common stock based on the satisfaction of performance goals and service conditions over a three-year performance period. The number of shares of HEI common stock that may be awarded is fixed on the date the grants are made subject to the achievement of specified performance levels. The payout varies from 0% to 200% of the number of target shares depending on achievement of the goals. The LTIP performance goals for both LTIP periods include awards with a market goal based on total return to shareholders (TRS) of HEI stock as a percentile to the Edison Electric Institute Index over the applicable three-year period. In addition, the 2009-2011 LTIP has performance goals based on HEI return on average common equity (ROACE), the 2010-2012 LTIP has performance goals related to levels of HEI consolidated net income, HECO consolidated ROACE, ASB net income and ASB return on assets — all based on two-year averages (2011-2012), and the 2011-2013 LTIP has performance goals related to levels of HEI consolidated net income, HECO consolidated ROACE, HECO 3-year average consolidated net income, ASB return on assets and ASB 3-year average net income.

7 · Interest rate swap agreements

 

In June 2010, HEI entered into multiple Forward Starting Swaps (FSS) with notional amounts totaling $125 million to hedge against interest rate fluctuations on medium-term notes expected to be issued by HEI in 2011, thereby enabling HEI to better forecast its future interest expense. The FSS entitled HEI to receive/(pay) the present value of the positive/(negative) difference between three-month LIBOR and a fixed rate at termination applied to the notional amount over a five-year period. The outstanding FSS were designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges and had a negative fair value of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2010 (recorded in “Other” liabilities). Changes in fair value were recognized (1) in other comprehensive income to the extent that they are considered effective, and (2) in “Interest expense—other than on deposit liabilities and other bank borrowings” for any portion considered ineffective.

 

In the first six months of 2011, HEI settled the FSS for payments totaling $5.2 million, of which $3.3 million was the ineffective portion ($0.8 million and $2.5 million recognized in 2010 and 2011, respectively) and $1.9 million is being amortized to interest expense over five years beginning March 24, 2011 (the date that HEI issued $125 million of Senior Notes via a private placement—$75 million of 4.41% notes due March 24, 2016 and $50 million of 5.67% notes due March 24, 2021).

 

8 · Earnings per share (EPS)

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, under the two-class method of computing basic and diluted EPS, distributed earnings were $0.31 and $0.62 per share, respectively, and undistributed losses were $(0.03) and $(0.04) per share, respectively, for both unvested restricted stock awards and unrestricted common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, under the two-class method of computing basic and diluted EPS, distributed earnings were $0.31 and $0.62 per share, respectively, and undistributed losses were nil and $(0.01) per share, respectively, for both unvested restricted stock awards and unrestricted common stock.

 

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the antidilutive effects of SARs of 410,000 shares and 462,000 shares of HEI common stock, respectively, for which the exercise prices were greater than the closing market price of HEI’s common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS.

 

9 · Commitments and contingencies

 

See Note 4, “Bank subsidiary,” above and Note 5, “Commitments and contingencies,” of HECO’s “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” below.

 

10 · Fair value measurements

 

Fair value estimates are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid upon the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates are generally determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from independent sources. However, in certain cases, the Company uses its own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. These valuations are estimates at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information, information about the financial instrument and judgments regarding future expected loss experience, economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result if the Company were to sell its entire holdings of a particular financial instrument at one time. Because no active trading market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the estimates.        Fair value estimates are provided for certain financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a significant effect on fair value estimates, but have not been considered in making such estimates.

Table of Contents

 

The Company used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each applicable class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

 

Cash and cash equivalents and short term borrowings—other than bank.  The carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Investment and mortgage-related securities.  Fair value was based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.

 

Loans receivable.  For residential real estate loans, fair value was calculated by discounting estimated cash flows using discount rates based on current industry pricing for loans with similar contractual characteristics.

 

For other types of loans, fair value was estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using discount rates that reflect current industry pricing for loans with similar characteristics and remaining maturity.  Where industry pricing is not available, discount rates are based on ASB’s current pricing for loans with similar characteristics and remaining maturity.

 

The fair value of all loans was adjusted to reflect current assessments of loan collectability.

 

Deposit liabilities.  The fair value of savings, negotiable orders of withdrawal, demand and money market deposits was the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

 

Other bank borrowings.  Fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates available for borrowings with similar credit terms and remaining maturities.

 

Long-term debt.  Fair value was obtained from a third-party financial services provider or the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL service based on the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar remaining maturities.

 

Forward Starting Swaps.  Fair value was estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows of the swaps, using the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including forward interest rate curves. Fair value incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk.

 

Off-balance sheet financial instruments.  The fair value of loans serviced for others was calculated by discounting expected net income streams using discount rates that reflect industry pricing for similar assets. Expected net income streams were estimated based on industry assumptions regarding prepayment speeds and income and expenses associated with servicing residential mortgage loans for others. The fair value of commitments to originate loans was estimated based on the change in current primary market prices of new commitments. Since lines of credit can expire without being drawn and customers are under no obligation to utilize the lines, no fair value was assigned to unused lines of credit. The fair value of letters of credit was estimated based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements. The fair value of HECO-obligated preferred securities of trust subsidiaries was based on quoted market prices.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, loan commitments and unused lines and letters of credit issued by ASB had notional amounts of $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, and their estimated fair value on such dates were $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, loans serviced by ASB for others had notional amounts of $849 million and $818 million and the estimated fair value of the servicing rights for such loans was $9.6 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

 

Fair value measurements on a recurring basis.  While securities held in ASB’s investment portfolio trade in active markets, they do not trade on listed exchanges nor do the specific holdings trade in quoted markets by dealers or brokers. All holdings are valued using market-based approaches that are based on exit prices that are taken from identical or similar market transactions, even in situations where trading volume may be low when compared with prior periods as has been the case during the recent market disruption. Inputs to these valuation techniques reflect the assumptions that consider credit and nonperformance risk that market participants would use in pricing the asset based on market data obtained from independent sources. Available-for-sale securities were comprised of federal agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds.

Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis.  From time to time, the Company may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the write-downs of individual assets. ASB does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, ASB records nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans to reflect specific reserves on loans based on the current appraised value of the collateral or unobservable market assumptions. Unobservable assumptions reflect ASB’s own estimate of the fair value of collateral used in valuing the loan. ASB may also be required to measure goodwill at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During the first six months of 2011 and 2010, goodwill was not measured at fair value. For the first six months of 2011 and 2010, there were no adjustments to fair value for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP other than the specific reserves on loans receivable held for investment.

 

From time to time, the Company may be required to measure certain liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. The fair value of HECO’s asset retirement obligations (Level 3) was determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using market-observable risk-free rates as adjusted by HECO’s credit spread (also see Note 3).

 

11 · Cash flows

 

Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid interest to non-affiliates amounting to $50 million and $46 million, respectively.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid/(received) income taxes amounting to $(21) million and $44 million, respectively. Income taxes were received in 2011 primarily due to the refunding of estimated tax payments made prior to the extension of bonus depreciation provisions.

 

Supplemental disclosures of noncash activities.  Under the HEI Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP), common stock dividends reinvested by shareholders in HEI common stock in noncash transactions amounted to $12 million and $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Noncash increases in common stock for director and officer compensatory plans of the Company were $5.6 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Real estate acquired in settlement of loans in noncash transactions amounted to $5 million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

12 · Recent accounting pronouncements and interpretations

 

Troubled debt restructuring (TDR).  In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring,” which clarifies which loan modifications constitute TDRs and is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a TDR, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of TDRs. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR, a creditor must separately conclude that both (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession by the creditor; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Clarifying guidance is provided on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.

 

The Company will adopt this standard in the third quarter of 2011 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

Repurchase agreements.  In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements,” which is intended to improve the financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other agreements that entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. This ASU removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets. ASB will apply this guidance prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after January 1, 2012 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Fair value measurements.  In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs,” which represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (the Boards) on fair value measurement. This ASU includes the Boards’ common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.” The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.

 

The Company will prospectively adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2012 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

Comprehensive income.  In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. All items of net income and other comprehensive income are required to be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements—a net income statement and a total comprehensive income statement.

 

The Company expects to retrospectively adopt this standard by the first quarter of 2012 using a two-statement approach.

 

13 · Credit agreement

 

HEI maintains a revolving noncollateralized credit agreement establishing a line of credit facility of $125 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility, expiring on May 7, 2013, with a syndicate of eight financial institutions. The facility will be maintained to support the issuance of commercial paper, but also may be drawn to repay HEI’s short-term and long-term indebtedness, to make investments in or loans to subsidiaries and for HEI’s working capital and general corporate purposes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1 · Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information, the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the following notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference in HECO’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HECO’s Quarterly Report on SEC Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

 

In the opinion of HECO’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to fairly state the financial position of HECO and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the results of their operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and their cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q or other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. When required, certain reclassifications are made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

 

2 · Unconsolidated variable interest entities

 

HECO Capital Trust III.  HECO Capital Trust III (Trust III) was created and exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing in March 2004 2,000,000 6.50% Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, Series 2004 (2004 Trust Preferred Securities) ($50 million aggregate liquidation preference) to the public and trust common securities ($1.5 million aggregate liquidation preference) to HECO, (ii) investing the proceeds of these trust securities in 2004 Debentures issued by HECO in the principal amount of $31.5 million and issued by Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (HELCO) and Maui Electric Company, Limited (MECO) each in the principal amount of $10 million, (iii) making distributions on these trust securities and (iv) engaging in only those other activities necessary or incidental thereto. The 2004 Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable at the maturity of the underlying debt on March 18, 2034, which maturity may be extended to no later than March 18, 2053; and are currently redeemable at the issuer’s option without premium. The 2004 Debentures, together with the obligations of HECO, HELCO and MECO under an expense agreement and HECO’s obligations under its trust guarantee and its guarantee of the obligations of HELCO and MECO under their respective debentures, are the sole assets of Trust III. Trust III has at all times been an unconsolidated subsidiary of HECO. Since HECO, as the common security holder, does not absorb the majority of the variability of Trust III, HECO is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate Trust III in accordance with accounting rules on the consolidation of VIEs. Trust III’s balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 each consisted of $51.5 million of 2004 Debentures; $50.0 million of 2004 Trust Preferred Securities; and $1.5 million of trust common securities. Trust III’s income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 each consisted of $1.7 million of interest income received from the 2004 Debentures, $1.6 million of distributions to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, and $0.1 million of common dividends on the trust common securities to HECO. So long as the 2004 Trust Preferred Securities are outstanding, HECO is not entitled to receive any funds from Trust III other than pro-rata distributions, subject to certain subordination provisions, on the trust common securities. In the event of a default by HECO in the performance of its obligations under the 2004 Debentures or under its Guarantees, or in the event HECO, HELCO or MECO elect to defer

Table of Contents

 

payment of interest on any of their respective 2004 Debentures, then HECO will be subject to a number of restrictions, including a prohibition on the payment of dividends on its common stock.

 

Power purchase agreements.  As of June 30, 2011, HECO and its subsidiaries had six PPAs totaling 540 megawatts (MW) of firm capacity and other PPAs with smaller independent power producers (IPPs) and Schedule Q providers (i.e., customers with cogeneration and/or small power production facilities with a capacity of 100 kW or less who buy power from or sell power to the utilities), none of which are currently required to be consolidated as VIEs. Approximately 91% of the 540 MW of firm capacity is pursuant to PPAs, entered into before December 31, 2003, with AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES Hawaii), Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa), Hamakua Energy Partners, L.P. (HEP) and HPOWER. Purchases from all IPPs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $320 million, with purchases from AES Hawaii, Kalaeloa, HEP and HPOWER totaling $71 million, $139 million, $24 million and $30 million, respectively.

 

Some of the IPPs have provided sufficient information for HECO to determine that the IPP was not a VIE, or was either a “business” or “governmental organization” (e.g., HPOWER), and thus excluded from the scope of accounting standards for VIEs. A windfarm and Kalaeloa provided sufficient information, as required under their PPAs or amendments, such that HECO could determine that consolidation was not required. Management has concluded that the consolidation of some IPPs is not required as HECO and its subsidiaries do not have variable interests in the IPPs because the PPAs do not require them to absorb any variability of the IPPs.

 

An enterprise with an interest in a VIE or potential VIE created before December 31, 2003 and not thereafter materially modified is not required to apply accounting standards for VIEs to that entity if the enterprise is unable to obtain the necessary information after making an exhaustive effort. HECO and its subsidiaries have made and continue to make exhaustive efforts to get the necessary information, but have been unsuccessful to date as it was not a contractual requirement prior to 2004. If the requested information is ultimately received from these IPPs, a possible outcome of future analyses of such information is the consolidation of one or more of such IPPs. The consolidation of any significant IPP could have a material effect on the Company’s and HECO’s consolidated financial statements, including the recognition of a significant amount of assets and liabilities and the potential recognition of losses. If HECO and its subsidiaries determine they are required to consolidate the financial statements of such an IPP and the consolidation has a material effect, HECO and its subsidiaries would retrospectively apply accounting standards for VIEs.

 

3 · Revenue taxes

 

HECO and its subsidiaries’ operating revenues include amounts for various Hawaii state revenue taxes. Revenue taxes are generally recorded as an expense in the period the related revenues are recognized. However, HECO and its subsidiaries’ revenue tax payments to the taxing authorities are based on the prior year’s revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, HECO and its subsidiaries included approximately $121 million and $100 million, respectively, of revenue taxes in “operating revenues” and in “taxes, other than income taxes” expense.

 

4 · Retirement benefits

 

Retirement benefit plan changes.  See “Retirement benefit plan changes” in Note 5 of HEI’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Defined benefit plans.  For the first six months of 2011, HECO and its subsidiaries contributed $37 million to their retirement benefit plans, compared to $16 million in the first six months of 2010. HECO and its subsidiaries’ current estimate of contributions to their retirement benefit plans in 2011 is $73 million, compared to contributions of $31 million in 2010. The increase in expected 2011 contributions over 2010 contributions is driven by the minimum funding requirements under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, which were impacted by the following three factors: (1) the credit balance available to apply toward satisfaction of the minimum funding requirements was fully depleted in 2010 leaving no credit balance to be applied to 2011, (2) under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the requirement was to fund 96% of target liability in 2010, which increased to 100% for 2011 and future years, and (3)

HECO and its subsidiaries recorded retirement benefits expense of $19 million for each of the first six months of 2011 and 2010. The electric utilities charged a portion of the net periodic benefit cost to plant.

 

Defined contribution plan.  For the first six months of 2011, the utilities’ expense for matching contributions under the HEIRSP was immaterial.

 

5 · Commitments and contingencies

 

Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative.  In January 2008, the State of Hawaii (State) and the U.S. Department of Energy signed a memorandum of understanding establishing the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI). In October 2008, the Governor of the State, the State Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, the Division of Consumer Advocacy of the State Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and HECO, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, HELCO and MECO (collectively, the parties), signed an agreement setting forth goals and objectives under the HCEI and the related commitments of the parties (the Energy Agreement), including pursuing a wide range of actions to decrease the State’s dependence on imported fossil fuels through substantial increases in renewable energy and programs intended to secure greater energy efficiency and conservation. Many of the actions and programs included in the Energy Agreement require approval of the PUC.

 

Renewable energy projects.  HECO and its subsidiaries continue to negotiate with developers of proposed projects to integrate power into its grid from a variety of renewable energy sources, including solar, biomass, wind, ocean thermal energy conversion, wave and others. This includes HECO’s commitment to integrate wind power into the Oahu electrical grid that would be imported via a yet-to-be-built undersea transmission cable system from a windfarm proposed to be built on the island of Lanai. The State and HECO are working together to ensure the supporting infrastructure needed is in place to reliably accommodate this large increment of wind power, including appropriate additional storage capacity investments and any required utility system connections or interfaces with the cable and the windfarm facility. In December 2009, the PUC allowed HECO to defer the costs of studies for this large wind project for later review of prudence and reasonableness, and HECO is now seeking PUC approval to recover the deferred costs totaling $3.9 million through the REIP surcharge. Additionally, in July 2011, the PUC directed HECO to draft an RFP for 200 MW or more of renewable energy to be delivered to Oahu and to submit the draft RFP to the PUC by mid-October 2011.

 

Interim increases.  As of June 30, 2011, HECO and its subsidiaries had recognized $11 million of revenues with respect to interim orders related to general rate increase requests. Revenue amounts recorded pursuant to interim orders are subject to refund, with interest, if they exceed amounts allowed in a final order.

 

Major projects.  Many public utility projects require PUC approval and various permits from other governmental agencies. Difficulties in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, the necessary approvals or permits can result in

significantly increased project costs or even cancellation of projects. Further, completion of projects is subject to various risks, such as problems or disputes with vendors. In the event a project does not proceed, or if it becomes probable the PUC will disallow cost recovery for all or part of a project, project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in HECO’s consolidated net income. Significant projects whose costs (or costs in excess of estimates) have not yet been allowed in rate base by a final PUC order include those described below.

 

In May 2011, based upon recommendations solicited from the Consumer Advocate, the PUC ordered that independently conducted regulatory audits on the reasonableness of costs incurred for HECO’s East Oahu Transmission Project, Campbell Industrial Park combustion turbine project, and Customer Information System Project be undertaken. Any revenue requirements arising from specific project costs being audited shall either remain interim and subject to refund until audit completion, or remain within regulatory deferral accounts. In the Interim D&O, the PUC approved the portion of the settlement agreement allowing HECO to defer the portion of costs that are in excess of prior PUC approved amounts and related depreciation for HECO’s East Oahu Transmission Project Phase 1 ($43 million) and Campbell Industrial Park combustion turbine project ($32 million) until completion of an independently conducted regulatory review on the reasonableness of the total project costs. The PUC approved the accrual of a carrying charge on the cost of such projects not yet included in rates and the related depreciation expense, from July 1, 2011 until the regulatory reviews are completed and the PUC has issued an order allowing the remaining project costs in electric rates. For accounting purposes, HECO will record the equity portion of the carrying charge when it is allowed in electric rates. However, the PUC did not approve the agreement to defer expenses (subject to a limit to which the parties agreed) associated with the yet-to-be completed Customer Information System.

 

Campbell Industrial Park 110 MW combustion turbine No. 1 (CIP CT-1) and transmission line.  HECO’s incurred costs for this project, which was placed in service in 2009, were $195 million, including $9 million of allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC). HECO’s current rates reflect recovery of project costs of $163 million. See “Major projects” above regarding the process for determining recovery of the remaining costs for this project. Management believes no adjustment to project costs is required as of June 30, 2011.

 

East Oahu Transmission Project (EOTP).  HECO had planned a project to construct a partially underground transmission line to a major substation. However, in 2002, an application for a permit, which would have allowed construction in a route through conservation district lands, was denied. In 2007, the PUC approved HECO’s request to expend funds for a revised EOTP using different routes requiring the construction of subtransmission lines in two phases (then estimated at $56 million - $42 million for Phase 1 and $14 million for Phase 2), but did not address the issue as to whether the pre-2003 planning and permitting costs, and related AFUDC, should be included in the project costs. That issue was to be addressed in a subsequent proceeding and will now be reviewed in the independently conducted regulatory audits.

 

Phase 1 was placed in service on June 29, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, HECO’s incurred costs for Phase 1 of this project was $59 million (as a result of higher costs and the project delays), including (i) $12 million of pre-2003 planning and permitting costs, (ii) $24 million of planning, permitting and construction costs incurred after the denial of the permit and (iii) $23 million for AFUDC. The interim D&O issued in HECO’s 2011 test year rate case reflects approximately $16 million of EOTP Phase 1 costs and related depreciation expense in determining revenue requirements. See “Major projects” above regarding the process for determining recovery of the remaining costs for EOTP Phase 1.

 

In April 2010, HECO proposed a modification of Phase 2 that uses smart grid technology and is estimated to cost $10 million (total cost of $15 million less $5 million of funding through the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009). In October 2010, the PUC approved HECO’s modification request for Phase 2, which is projected for completion in 2012. As of June 30, 2011, HECO’s incurred costs for Phase 2 of this project amounted to $5 million.

 

Management believes no adjustment to project costs is required as of June 30, 2011.

 

Customer Information System Project.  In 2005, the PUC approved the utilities’ request to (i) expend the then-estimated $20 million for a new Customer Information System (CIS), provided that no part of the project costs may

 

30



Table of Contents

 

be included in rate base until the project is in service and is “used and useful for public utility purposes,” and (ii) defer certain computer software development costs, accumulate AFUDC during the deferral period, amortize the deferred costs over a specified period and include the unamortized deferred costs in rate base, subject to specified conditions.

 

HECO signed a contract with a software company in March 2006 with a transition to the new CIS originally scheduled to occur in February 2008, which transition did not occur. Disputes over the parties’ contractual obligations resulted in litigation, which subsequently was settled. HECO subsequently contracted with a new CIS software vendor and a new system integrator. The CIS project is proceeding with the implementation of the new software system. As of June 30, 2011, HECO’s total deferred and capital cost estimate for the CIS was $57 million (of which $30 million was recorded). Management believes no adjustment to project costs is required as of June 30, 2011.

 

Environmental regulationHECO and its subsidiaries are subject to environmental laws and regulations that regulate the operation of existing facilities, the construction and operation of new facilities and the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and toxic substances. In recent years, legislative and regulatory activity related to the environment, including proposals and rulemaking under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and Clean Water Act (CWA), has increased significantly and management anticipates that such activity will continue.

 

On April 20, 2011, the Federal Register published the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) proposed regulations required by section 316(b) of the CWA designed to protect aquatic organisms from adverse impacts associated with existing power plant cooling water intake structures. The proposed regulations would apply to the cooling water systems for the steam generating units at the utilities’ Honolulu, Kahe and Waiau power plants on the island of Oahu. Although the proposed regulations provide some flexibility, management believes they do not adequately focus on site-specific conditions and cost-benefit factors and, if adopted as proposed, would require significant capital and annual O&M expenditures. As proposed, the regulations would require facilities to come into compliance within 8 years of the effective date of the final rule, which the EPA expects to issue in 2012.

 

Subsequently, on May 3, 2011, the Federal Register published the EPA’s proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for fossil-fuel fired steam electrical generating units (EGUs) that would establish Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards for the control of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) in emissions from new and existing EGUs. The proposed rules, also known as EGU MACT, would apply to the 14 EGUs at the utilities’ Honolulu, Kahe and Waiau power plants. As proposed, the regulations would require significant capital and annual expenditures for the installation and operation of emission control equipment on the utilities’ EGUs. The CAA requires that facilities come into compliance with final MACT standards within 3 years of the final rule, although facilities may be granted a 1 year extension to install emission control technology. In view of the isolated nature of HECO’s electrical system and the proposed requirement to install control equipment on all HECO steam generating units while maintaining system reliability, the EGU MACT compliance schedule poses a significant challenge to HECO. Under the terms of a settlement agreement, the EPA is required to issue the final rule by November 16, 2011.

 

Depending upon the final outcome of the CWA 316(b) regulations, possible changes in CWA effluent standards, the EGU MACT regulations, the tightening of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and the Regional Haze rule under the CAA, HECO and its subsidiaries may be required to incur material capital expenditures and other compliance costs. Additionally, the combined effects of these regulatory initiatives may result in a decision to retire certain generating units earlier than anticipated.

 

HECO, HELCO and MECO, like other utilities, periodically experience petroleum or other chemical releases into the environment associated with current operations and report and take action on these releases when and as required by applicable law and regulations. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, HECO and its subsidiaries believe the costs of responding to their releases identified to date will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on HECO’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

Global climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction.  National and international concern about climate change and the contribution of GHG emissions (including carbon dioxide emissions from the

 

31



Table of Contents

 

combustion of fossil fuels) to global warming have led to action by the State and to federal legislative and regulatory proposals to reduce GHG emissions.

 

In July 2007, Act 234, which requires a statewide reduction of GHG emissions by January 1, 2020 to levels at or below the statewide GHG emission levels in 1990, became law in Hawaii. The electric utilities are participating in a Task Force established under Act 234, which is charged with developing a work plan and regulatory approach to reduce GHG emissions, as well as in initiatives aimed at reducing their GHG emissions, such as those being implemented under the Energy Agreement. Because the regulations implementing Act 234 have not yet been promulgated, management cannot predict the impact of Act 234 on the electric utilities, but compliance costs could be significant.

 

Several approaches (e.g., “cap and trade”) to GHG emission reduction have been either introduced or discussed in the U.S. Congress; however, no federal legislation has yet been enacted.

 

On September 22, 2009, the EPA issued its Final Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule, which requires that sources emitting GHGs above certain threshold levels monitor and report GHG emissions. The utilities’ reports for 2010 are due on September 30, 2011. In December 2009, the EPA made the finding that motor vehicle GHG emissions endanger public health or welfare. Management believes the EPA will make the same or similar endangerment finding regarding GHG emissions from stationary sources like the utilities’ generating units.

 

In June 2010, the EPA issued its “Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule” (GHG Tailoring Rule) that created new thresholds for GHG emissions from new and existing facilities. States may need to increase fees to cover the increased level of activity caused by this rule. Effective January 2, 2011, under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration program, permitting of new or modified stationary sources (such as utility electrical generating units) that have the potential to emit GHGs in greater quantities than the thresholds in the GHG Tailoring Rule will entail GHG emissions evaluation, analysis and, potentially, control requirements. In January 2011, the EPA announced that it plans to defer, for three years, GHG permitting requirements for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from biomass-fired and other biogenic sources. The utilities are evaluating the impact of this deferral on their generation units that are or will be fired on biofuels.

 

HECO and its subsidiaries have taken, and continue to identify opportunities to take, direct action to reduce GHG emissions from their operations, including, but not limited to, supporting DSM programs that foster energy efficiency, using renewable resources for energy production and purchasing power from IPPs generated by renewable resources, burning renewable biodiesel in HECO’s CIP CT-1, using biodiesel for startup and shutdown of selected MECO generation units, and testing biofuel blends in other HECO and MECO generating units. Management is unable to evaluate the ultimate impact on the utilities’ operations of eventual comprehensive GHG regulation. However, management believes that the various initiatives it is undertaking will provide a sound basis for managing the electric utilities’ carbon footprint and meeting GHG reduction goals that will ultimately emerge.

 

While the timing, extent and ultimate effects of climate change cannot be determined with any certainty, climate change is predicted to result in sea level rise, which could potentially impact coastal and other low-lying areas (where much of the utilities’ electric infrastructure is sited), and could cause erosion of beaches, saltwater intrusion into aquifers and surface ecosystems, higher water tables and increased flooding and storm damage due to heavy rainfall. The effects of climate change on the weather (for example, floods or hurricanes), sea levels, and water availability and quality have the potential to materially adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of the electric utilities. For example, severe weather could cause significant harm to the electric utilities’ physical facilities.

 

The utilities are undertaking an adaptation survey of their facilities as a step in developing a longer-term strategy for responding to the consequences of global climate change.

 

Fuel contracts and power purchase agreements.  HECO and Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron USA, Inc. (Chevron), are parties to an amended contract for the purchase/sale of low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO), which terminates on April 30, 2013.

 

HECO and Tesoro Hawaii Corporation (Tesoro) are parties to an amended LSFO supply contract (LSFO contract). The term of the amended agreement runs through April 30, 2013 and may automatically renew for annual terms thereafter unless earlier terminated by either party.

The energy charge for energy purchased from Kalaeloa under HECO’s PPA with Kalaeloa is based, in part, on the price Kalaeloa pays Tesoro for fuel oil under a Facility Fuel Supply Contract (fuel contract) between them. Kalaeloa and Tesoro have negotiated a proposed amendment to the pricing formula in their fuel contract. The amendment could result in higher fuel prices for Kalaeloa, which would in turn increase the energy charge paid by HECO to Kalaeloa. HECO consented to the amendment on September 7, 2010.

 

On May 13, 2011, the PUC approved the latest Chevron and Tesoro amendments and HECO’s consent to the Kalaeloa-Tesoro amendment and allowed HECO to include the costs incurred under the amendments in its ECAC, to the extent such costs are not recovered through HECO’s base rates.

 

Asset retirement obligations.  Asset retirement obligations (AROs) represent legal obligations associated with the retirement of certain tangible long-lived assets, are measured as the present value of the projected costs for the future retirement of specific assets and are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. HECO and its subsidiaries’ recognition of AROs have no impact on its earnings. The cost of the AROs is recovered over the life of the asset through depreciation. AROs recognized by HECO and its subsidiaries relate to obligations to retire plant and equipment, including removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials. In September 2009, HECO recorded an estimated ARO of $23 million related to removing retired generating units at its Honolulu power plant, including abating asbestos and lead-based paint. The obligation was subsequently increased in June 2010, due to an increase in the estimated costs of the removal project. In August 2010, HECO recorded a similar estimated ARO of $12 million related to removing retired generating units at HECO’s Waiau power plant.

Collective bargaining agreements.  As of June 30, 2011, approximately 53% of the electric utilities’ employees were members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO, Local 1260, which is the only union representing employees of the electric utilities. On March 11, 2011, the union’s members ratified a new collective bargaining agreement and a new benefit agreement. The new collective bargaining agreement covers a term from January 1, 2011 to October 31, 2013 and provides for non-compounded wage increases (1.75%, 2.5%, and 3.0% for 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively). The new benefit agreement covers a term from January 1, 2011 to October 31, 2014 and includes changes to medical, dental and vision plans with increased employee contributions and changes to retirement benefits for employees. See Note 4.

 

Limited insurance.  HECO and its subsidiaries purchase insurance to protect themselves against loss or damage to their properties and against claims made by third-parties and employees. However, the protection provided by such insurance is limited in significant respects and, in some instances, there is no coverage. HECO, HELCO and MECO’s transmission and distribution systems (excluding substations) have a replacement value roughly estimated at $5 billion and are uninsured. Similarly, HECO, HELCO and MECO have no business interruption insurance. If a hurricane or other uninsured catastrophic natural disaster were to occur, and if the PUC were not to allow the utilities to recover from ratepayers restoration costs and revenues lost from business interruption, their results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be materially adversely impacted. Also, if a series of losses occurred, each of which were subject to an insurance deductible amount, or if the maximum limit of the available insurance were substantially exceeded, the utilities could incur losses in amounts that would have a material adverse effect on their results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, HECO and its subsidiaries paid interest amounting to $29 million and $28 million, respectively.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, HECO and its subsidiaries paid/(received) income taxes amounting to $(27) million and $37 million, respectively. Income taxes were received in 2011 primarily due to the refunding of estimated tax payments made prior to the extension of bonus depreciation provisions.

 

Supplemental disclosure of noncash activities.  The allowance for equity funds used during construction, which was charged to construction in progress as part of the cost of electric utility plant, amounted to $2.6 million and $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Noncash capital expenditures were $10 million and $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

7 · Recent accounting pronouncements and interpretations

 

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and interpretations, see Note 12 of HEI’s “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

8 · Fair value measurements

 

Fair value estimates are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid upon the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates are generally determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from independent sources. However, in certain cases, the electric utilities use their own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. These valuations are estimates at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information, information about the financial instrument and judgments regarding future expected loss experience, economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result if the electric utilities were to sell their entire holdings of a particular financial instrument at one time. Because no market exists for a portion of the electric utilities’ financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are provided for certain financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a significant effect on fair value estimates, but have not been considered in determining such fair values.

 

The electric utilities used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each applicable class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

 

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings.  The carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Long-term debt.  Fair value was obtained from a third-party financial services provider or the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL service based on the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar remaining maturities.

 

Off-balance sheet financial instruments.  Fair value of HECO-obligated preferred securities of trust subsidiaries was based on quoted market prices.

Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis.  From time to time, the utilities may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. As of June 30, 2011, there were no adjustments to fair value for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP.

 

From time to time, the utilities may be required to measure certain liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. The fair value of the utilities ARO (Level 3) was determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using market-observable risk-free rates as adjusted by HECO’s credit spread. See Note 5.

 

9 · Credit agreement

 

HECO maintains a revolving noncollateralized credit agreement establishing a line of credit facility of $175 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility, with a syndicate of eight financial institutions, expiring on May 7, 2013. The credit facility will be maintained to support the issuance of commercial paper, but also may be drawn to repay HECO’s short-term indebtedness, to make loans to subsidiaries and for HECO’s capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate purposes.

11 · Subsequent event

 

On July 22, 2011, the PUC issued an interim D&O granting HECO a net increase of $38.2 million in annual revenues, or 2.2%, net of the revenues currently being recovered through the decoupling Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (RAM), effective July 26, 2011. Including the RAM revenues, the total annual interim increase is $53.2 million, or 3.1%. If the interim rate increase exceeds the amount of the increase ultimately approved in the final D&O, then the excess would be refunded to HECO’s customers, with interest.

 

12 · Consolidating financial information

 

HECO is not required to provide separate financial statements or other disclosures concerning HELCO and MECO to holders of the 2004 Debentures issued by HELCO and MECO to Trust III since all of their voting capital stock is owned, and their obligations with respect to these securities have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, by HECO. Consolidating information is provided below for these and other HECO subsidiaries for the periods ended and as of the dates indicated.

 

HECO also unconditionally guarantees HELCO’s and MECO’s obligations (a) to the State of Hawaii for the repayment of principal and interest on Special Purpose Revenue Bonds issued for the benefit of HELCO and MECO and (b) relating to the trust preferred securities of Trust III (see Note 2 above). HECO is also obligated, after the satisfaction of its obligations on its own preferred stock, to make dividend, redemption and liquidation payments on HELCO’s and MECO’s preferred stock if the respective subsidiary is unable to make such payments.

In 2008, the Company initiated aggressive strategies to set both the utilities and ASB on a new course the utilities entered into an agreement with the State to create a clean energy future for Hawaii and ASB set new performance standards. In 2010 and the first six months of 2011, the Company made major progress on these strategies. The utilities advanced key HCEI initiatives, and ASB completed its performance improvement project in 2010 and demonstrated reduced risk and profitability metrics in line with or better than the average of its high performing peers in the first half of 2011 (see segment discussions below). Together, HEI’s unique combination of a utility and bank continues to provide the Company with a strong balance sheet and the financial resources to invest in the strategic growth of its subsidiaries while providing an attractive dividend for investors.

 

Dividends.  The payout ratios for 2010 and the first half of 2011 were 102% and 106%, respectively. HEI currently expects to maintain the dividend at its present level; however, the HEI Board of Directors evaluates the dividend quarterly and considers many factors in the evaluation, including but not limited to the Company’s results of operations, the long-term prospects for the Company, and current and expected future economic conditions.

 

Economic conditions.

 

Note: The statistical data in this section is from public third-party sources (e.g., Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT); University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO); U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; Blue Chip Economic Indicators; U.S. Energy Information Administration; Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA); Honolulu Board of REALTORS® Bureau of Economic Analysis and national and local newspapers).

 

The U.S. economy, as measured by real gross domestic product (GDP), increased at an annual rate of 1.9% in the first quarter of 2011 over the fourth quarter of 2010, according to the estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on June 24, 2011. Real GDP is estimated to slowly strengthen in the second and third quarters of 2011 by 2.0% and 3.2% compared to the preceding quarter, respectively, according to the July 2011 Blue Chip Economic Indicators. While positive growth is still expected in 2011, the consensus outlook for the U.S. economy has deteriorated since the first quarter of 2011. The decline in the real GDP growth forecast results from several factors, including continuing weak employment data, restrictions to federal, state and local government spending, and dampened personal consumption expenditures as a result of sharp increases in gasoline prices in the second quarter of 2011.

 

Crude oil prices reached their highest level since 2008 in April 2011. The price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil peaked at $113.93 on April 29, 2011 before declining to an average of $101 and $96 per barrel in May and June 2011, respectively. The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s July 2011 Short-Term Energy Outlook projected WTI to average $98 per barrel in 2011.

 

Meanwhile, despite significant decreases in visitor bookings from Japan following the devastating March 11, 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, state total visitor arrivals continued to see growth with a 4.7% increase year-to-date June 2011 over the same period in 2010. Visitor arrivals from Canada and the continental U.S. continued to increase year-over-year. Year-to-date June 2011 total visitor expenditures rebounded strongly with an 18.4% increase over the same period in 2010. The long term global and local effects of the tragic events in Japan remain uncertain with Japan arrivals remaining lower through the beginning of July 2011. The outlook for the visitor industry remains optimistic with China Eastern Airlines proposing the first regularly scheduled service from China (Shanghai) to start in August 2011 and the expected arrival of about 15,000 world government and business leaders from 21 economies for the Hawaii Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in November 2011.

 

Hawaii’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for June 2011 of 6.0% remained well below the national unemployment rate of 9.2%. Hawaii job growth appears to be slowly spreading beyond the tourism industry with increases in areas such as professional and business services and educational services. Six of seven bargaining units of the state’s largest public union ratified a new contract ending furloughs effective July 1, 2011. The new contract calls for a 5% reduction in pay and an increased share of health care premiums. Other public unions continue to negotiate new agreements.

 

According to local economists, private construction has stabilized and is headed for limited growth. Government infrastructure spending bolstered construction over the past year, but this area is vulnerable in an era of increasing government frugality. The big driver in construction on Oahu is expected to be rail transit. An increase in construction jobs for the rail project is expected in late 2011, assuming no additional delays to the schedule.

Hawaii’s housing market remained lethargic across the state, with existing home sales falling in June 2011 as compared to June 2010 when tax credits stimulated home purchases.

 

The Federal Open Market Committee held the federal funds rate target rate at 0 to ¼ percent on June 22, 2011, citing slower than expected economic recovery with weak labor market indicators, supply chain disruptions from the Japan tragedy, weak housing markets and low nonresidential structure investments.

 

Hawaii’s economic recovery is expected to strengthen despite losses in Japan arrivals as improvement spreads beyond the visitor industry. Local economists project improvement in most key indicators in 2011 and 2012.

 

Major tax legislation.  Two bills enacted in 2010 (the Small Business Jobs Act and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act) contained major tax provisions directly affecting the Company, including the extension of 50% bonus depreciation and 100% bonus depreciation for certain property. For the Company, the bonus depreciation provisions result in an estimated increase in federal tax depreciation of $75 million for 2010 and $165 million for 2011, primarily attributable to the utilities. A number of energy-related tax breaks were also extended, including the biodiesel credit through 2012. The Company will continue to analyze these Acts for their impacts and the opportunities they present.

 

Retirement benefits.  For the first six months of 2011, the Company’s and HECO and its subsidiaries’ defined benefit retirement plans’ assets generated a gain, after investment management fees, of 4.9%. The market value of the defined benefit retirement plans’ assets of the Company as of June 30, 2011 was $1.0 billion (including $942 million for HECO and its subsidiaries) compared to $983 million at December 31, 2010 (including $891 million for HECO and its subsidiaries).

 

HEI and HECO and its subsidiaries estimate that the cash funding for their qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2011 will be about $2 million and $71 million, respectively, which should fully satisfy the minimum required contribution, including requirements of the utilities’ pension tracking mechanisms and the plans’ funding policy. See Note 4 of HECO’s “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” Other factors could cause changes to the required contribution levels. The Pension Protection Act provides that if a pension plan’s funded status falls below certain levels more conservative assumptions must be used to value obligations, and restrictions on participant benefit accruals may be placed on the plans. If the plans fall below these thresholds, to avoid adverse consequences, funds in excess of the minimum required contribution may be contributed to the plan trust.

 

Commitments and contingencies.  See Note 9 of HEI’s “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

The “other” business segment includes results of the stand-alone corporate operations of HEI and American Savings Holdings, Inc. (ASHI), both holding companies; Pacific Energy Conservation Services, Inc., a contract services company which provided windfarm operational and maintenance services to an affiliated electric utility until the windfarm was dismantled (dissolved in April 2011); HEI Properties, Inc., a company holding passive, venture capital investments; and The Old Oahu Tug Service, Inc., a maritime freight transportation company that ceased operations in 1999; as well as eliminations of intercompany transactions.

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Liquidity and capital resources.  The Company believes that its ability to generate cash, both internally from electric utility and banking operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, commercial paper and bank borrowings, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund its contractual obligations and commercial commitments, its forecasted capital expenditures and investments, its expected retirement benefit plan contributions and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

 

The consolidated capital structure of HEI (excluding deposit liabilities and other bank borrowings) was as follows:

(1)         This table does not include HECO’s separate commercial paper issuances and line of credit facilities and draws, which are discussed below under “Electric utility—Financial Condition—Liquidity and capital resources.” At July 21, 2011, HEI had no outstanding commercial paper and its line of credit facility was undrawn.

 

HEI has a line of credit facility of $125 million (see Note 13 of HEI’s “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”). There are customary conditions which must be met in order to draw on it, including compliance with its covenants (such as covenants preventing HEI’s subsidiaries from entering into agreements that restrict the ability of the subsidiaries to pay dividends to, or to repay borrowings from, HEI). In addition to customary defaults,

 

49



Table of Contents

 

HEI’s failure to maintain its financial ratios, as defined in the agreement, or meet other requirements may result in an event of default. For example, it is an event of default if HEI fails to maintain a nonconsolidated “Capitalization Ratio” (funded debt) of 50% or less (ratio of 20% as of June 30, 2011, as calculated under the agreement) and “Consolidated Net Worth” of at least $975 million (actual Net Worth of $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2011, as calculated under the agreement). The commitment fee and interest charges on drawn amounts under the agreement are subject to adjustment in the event of a change in HEI’s long-term credit ratings.

 

HEI raised $22 million through the issuance of approximately 0.9 million shares of common stock under the DRIP, the HEIRSP and the ASB 401(k) Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2011. On August 18, 2011, HEI will begin satisfying the requirements of the DRIP, HEIRSP, ASB 401(k) Plan and other plans through open market purchases of its common stock.

 

On March 24, 2011, HEI issued $125 million of Senior Notes via a private placement ($75 million of 4.41% notes due March 24, 2016 and $50 million of 5.67% notes due March 24, 2021). HEI used part of the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes to pay down commercial paper (originally issued to refinance $50 million of 4.23% medium-term notes that matured on March 15, 2011) and will ultimately use the remaining proceeds to refinance part of the $100 million of 6.141% medium-term notes that will mature on August 15, 2011. The notes contain customary representation and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default (the occurrence of which may result in some or all of the notes then outstanding becoming immediately due and payable) and provisions requiring the maintenance by HEI of certain financial ratios generally consistent with those in HEI’s revolving noncollateralized credit agreement, expiring on May 7, 2013. For example, it is an event of default if HEI fails to maintain an unconsolidated “Capitalization Ratio” (funded debt) of 50% or less or “Consolidated Net Worth” of at least $975 million.

 

For the first six month of 2011, net cash provided by operating activities of consolidated HEI was $55 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the same period was $214 million, primarily due to net increases in ASB’s loans held for investment and investment securities and mortgage-related securities and HECO’s consolidated capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $95 million as a result of several factors, including net increases in long-term debt, deposit liabilities and retail repurchase agreements and proceeds from the issuance of common stock under HEI plans, partly offset by decreases in short-term borrowings and the payment of common stock dividends. Other than capital contributions from their parent company, intercompany services (and related intercompany payables and receivables), HECO’s periodic short-term borrowings from HEI (and related interest) and the payment of dividends to HEI, the electric utility and bank segments are largely autonomous in their operating, investing and financing activities. (See the electric utility and bank segments’ discussions of their cash flows in their respective “Financial condition—Liquidity and capital resources” sections below.) During the first six months of 2011, HECO and ASB paid dividends to HEI of $35 million and $28 million, respectively.

 

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

The Company’s results of operations and financial condition can be affected by numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and could cause future results of operations to differ materially from historical results. For information about certain of these factors, see pages 52 to 53, 72 to 76, and 86 to 89 of HEI’s MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEI’s 2010 Form 10-K.

 

Additional factors that may affect future results and financial condition are described above on pages iv and v under “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

MATERIAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In preparing financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

In accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” management has identified the accounting policies it believes to be the most critical to the Company’s financial statements—that is, management believes that these policies are both the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and currently require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

The electric utilities had effective tax rates for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 of 39% and 36%, respectively, and for the first six months of 2011 and 2010 of 38% and 37%, respectively.

 

See “Economic conditions” in the “HEI Consolidated” section above.

 

Results — three months ended June 30, 2011.  Operating income for the second quarter of 2011 increased by 3% when compared to the same quarter in 2010 due primarily to interim rate relief and lower maintenance and depreciation expense, partly offset by higher “Other operation” expenses. Maintenance expenses decreased $1 million due to lower overhaul cost, partially offset by higher vegetation and substation maintenance. “Other operation” expenses increased by $7 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to higher transmission and distribution operation expenses ($1 million), administrative and general expenses, including reserves ($1 million), bad debt ($1 million), and higher DSM expense ($1 million)  (see “Demand-side management programs” below) that are generally passed on to customers through surcharges.

Results — six months ended June 30, 2011.  Operating income for the first six months of 2011 increased by 4% when compared to the same period in 2010 due primarily to interim rate relief and higher sales, partly offset by higher “Other operation” and “Maintenance” (O&M) expenses and taxes other than income taxes. “Other operation” expenses increased by $13 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to higher transmission and distribution operation expenses ($3 million), higher administrative and general expenses, including reserves ($2 million), bad debt ($1 million) and higher DSM expense ($2 million) (see “Demand-side management programs” below) that are generally passed on to customers through surcharges. Maintenance expenses increased $1 million due to higher transmission and distribution maintenance including higher vegetation and substation maintenance.

 

Utility strategic progress.  In 2010 and the first six months of 2011, the utilities made significant progress in implementing their clean energy strategies and the PUC issued several important regulatory decisions, all of which are key steps to support Hawaii’s efforts to reduce its dependence on oil. Included in the PUC decisions were a number of interim and final rate case decisions (see table in “Most recent rate proceedings” below).

 

RegulatoryWith PUC approval, HECO implemented on March 1, 2011 a new regulatory model that is intended to facilitate meeting the State’s goals to transition to a clean energy economy and achieve an aggressive renewable portfolio standard. The model, referred to as “decoupling,” delinks revenues from sales and includes annual revenue adjustments for O&M expenses and rate base additions. Decoupling provides for more timely cost recovery and earning on investments and should result in an improvement in the utilities’ under-earning situation over the last several years. Prior to and during the transition to decoupling, however, the utilities’ returns have been, and may continue to be, well below PUC-allowed returns, as illustrated in the following table:

Under decoupling, the most significant drivers for improving the ROACE are:

 

1.               spending within PUC approved amounts for major projects and completing projects on schedule;

2.               managing O&M expenses relative to authorized O&M adjustments, especially during periods of increasing demand; and

3.               rate case outcomes that cover O&M requirements and rate base items not included in the revenue adjustment mechanisms (RAMs).

 

Effective March 1, 2011, as part of the decoupling implementation, HECO established the revenue balancing account and started recording the difference between target revenues from its HECO 2009 rate case and actual revenues. Based on a PUC order clarifying the implementation of the RAM adjustment issued on May 20, 2011, HECO began accruing and collecting 2011 RAM revenues of $15 million in annual revenues, or $1.3 million per month, beginning June 1, 2011, which was superseded on July 26, 2011 by the implementation of interim rates in HECO’s 2011 general rate case (see “Most recent rate proceedings” below). Under the decoupling order, in future non-general rate case years, HECO will accrue and collect 7/12ths of the annual RAM adjusted revenues in one year and the remaining 5/12ths in the following year. HECO had expected to be able to accrue RAM-adjusted revenues from January 1 of each RAM period. HECO’s Oahu goal of earning within 100 basis points of its allowed ROACE in 2012 will be more difficult to achieve than expected as a result of this proration of RAM revenues.

 

Also critical to closing the ROACE gap are HECO’s 2011 rate case, decoupling implementation for HELCO and MECO, and getting timely recovery of completed software project costs. The HECO 2011 rate case interim D&O reset target revenues, O&M expenses and rate base for the decoupling mechanisms until a final D&O is issued. The utilities expect 2011 O&M expenses, excluding DSM expenses, will be managed to the levels included in interim rates.

 

Future earnings growth are also dependent on rate base growth. The utilities have increased their five-year 2011-2015 capital expenditures forecast to $2.2 billion from $1.6 billion for the 2010-2014 forecast, with an

 

53

expected compounded annual rate base growth rate of approximately 5%. Many of the major initiatives within this forecast are expected to be completed beyond the 5-year period. Four major initiatives comprise approximately 40% of the 5-year plan: (1) replacing aging infrastructure; (2) environmental compliance; (3) fuel infrastructure investments; and (4) infrastructure investments to integrate renewables into the system. Estimates for these projects could change with time, based on external factors such as the timing and technical requirements for environmental compliance.

 

Most recent rate proceedingsThe electric utilities initiate PUC proceedings from time to time to request electric rate increases to cover rising operating costs and the cost of plant and equipment, including the cost of new capital projects to maintain and improve service reliability. The PUC may grant an interim increase within 10 to 11 months following the filing of an application, but there is no guarantee of such an interim increase and interim amounts collected are refundable, with interest, to the extent they exceed the amount approved in the PUC’s final D&O. The timing and amount of any final increase is determined at the discretion of the PUC. The adoption of revenue, expense, rate base and cost of capital amounts (including the ROACE and RORB) for purposes of an interim rate increase does not commit the PUC to accept any such amounts in its final D&O.

 

On July 22, 2011, the PUC issued an interim D&O granting HECO a net increase of $38.2 million in annual revenues, or 2.2%, net of the revenues currently being recovered through the decoupling Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (RAM), effective July 26, 2011. Including the RAM revenues, the total annual interim increase is $53.2 million or 3.1%. The interim increase is based on, and is substantially the same as, the settlement agreement executed and filed on July 5, 2011 by HECO, the Consumer Advocate and the Department of Defense (the parties in the proceeding). The interim increase reflects the new depreciation rates and methods approved by the PUC in a separate proceeding, which will result in a $2 million decrease in depreciation expense effective with interim rates to the end of 2011. The PUC did not approve the portion of the settlement agreement to allow deferral of certain costs amounting to approximately $3.2 million for 2011 (most of which have not yet been expended, including costs related to project management for the interisland wind project and undersea cable system sourcing). In the interim D&O, the PUC indicated it has not made a final determination on whether a labor expense adjustment is appropriate for this rate case, but finds that an adjustment is not necessary for purposes of the interim D&O, and will consider the reasonableness of such costs in light of current economic conditions in an evidentiary hearing scheduled in September 2011. See “Major projects” in Note 5 to HECO’s “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for a discussion of the deferral of project costs in the interim D&O.

 

The following table summarizes certain details of each utility’s most recent rate cases, including the details of the increases requested, whether the utility and the Consumer Advocate reached a settlement that they proposed to the PUC, the details of increases granted in interim and final PUC D&Os, or whether an interim or final PUC D&O remains pending.

Note: The “Request Date” reflects the application filing date for the rate proceeding. All other line items reflect the effective dates of the revised schedules and tariffs as a result of PUC-approved increases. In May 2011, MECO filed a Notice of Intent to file an application for a general rate increase, using a 2012 test year.

 

(1)  In April 2009, HECO reduced this rate increase request by $6.2 million because a new Customer Information System would not be placed in service as originally planned (see Note 5 of HECO’s “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”).

 

(2)  Because the final increase was $7.4 million less in annual revenues, HECO refunded $2.1 million to customers (including interest) in February 2011.

 

(3)  HECO filed a request with the PUC for a general rate increase of $113.5 million, based on a 2011 test year and without the then estimated impacts of the implementation of decoupling as proposed in the PUC’s separate decoupling proceeding and depreciation rates and methodology as proposed by HECO in a separate depreciation proceeding. Including the estimated effects of the implementation of decoupling at the time, the effective revenue request was $94.0 million, or 5.4%. HECO’s request was primarily to pay for major capital projects and higher O&M costs to maintain and improve service reliability and to recover the costs for several proposed programs to help reduce Hawaii’s dependence on imported oil, and to further increase reliability and fuel security.

 

The $53.2 million interim increase includes $15 million in annual revenues already being recovered through the decoupling RAM.

(4)  Final D&O appealed by a participant in the rate case proceeding. The appeal is pending, but has not affected implementation of the rate increase.

 

(5)  HELCO’s request was primarily to cover investments for system upgrade projects, two major transmission line upgrades and increasing O&M expenses.

 

(6)  MECO’s request is required to pay for O&M expenses and additional investments in plant and equipment required to maintain and improve system reliability and to cover the increased costs to support the integration of more renewable energy generation.

 

Clean energy strategy.  The utilities’ policy is to support efforts to increase renewable energy in Hawaii. The utilities believe their actions will help stabilize customer bills over time as they become less dependent on costly and price-volatile fossil fuel. The utilities’ clean energy strategy will also allow them to meet Hawaii’s renewable portfolio standard (RPS) law, which requires electric utilities to meet an RPS of 10%, 15%, 25% and 40% by December 31, 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2030, respectively. HECO met the 10% RPS for 2010 with a consolidated RPS of 20.7%, including saving from energy efficiency programs and solar water heating (or 9.5% without DSM energy savings). Energy savings resulting from energy efficiency programs and solar water heating will not count toward the RPS after 2014. With the continued support of the PUC and the Hawaii legislature, the utilities believe they will comfortably meet these RPS goals.

 

Recent developments in our clean energy strategy include:

 

·      In January 2011, HELCO signed a 20-year contract, subject to PUC approval, with Aina Koa Pono-Ka’u LLC to supply 16 million gallons of biodiesel per year with initial consumption to begin by 2015.

·      In February 2011, HECO successfully demonstrated that Unit 3 at its Kahe Power Plant could be powered using up to 100% biofuel.

·      In February 2011, HELCO executed a PPA with Puna Geothermal Venture for the purchase of energy and capacity from an 8 MW expansion of PGV’s geothermal energy plant on the island of Hawaii.

·      In February 2011, the PUC opened dockets related to MECO’s and HECO’s plans to proceed with competitive bidding processes to acquire up to approximately 50 MW and 300 MW, respectively, of new, renewable firm dispatchable capacity generation resources, with the initial increments expected to come on line in the 2015 and 2016 timeframes, respectively.

·      In 2008, HECO issued an Oahu Renewable Energy Request for Proposals (2008 RFP) for combined renewable energy projects up to 100 MW. In February 2011, HECO executed a PPA with Kalaeloa Solar Two for a 5 MW PV project. Negotiations continue with a proposed wind project (70 MW).

·      Included in the bids received in response to the 2008 RFP were proposals for two large scale neighbor island wind projects that would produce energy to be imported from Lanai and Molokai to Oahu via a yet-to-be-built undersea transmission cable system. HECO is negotiating with one of the project developers for a 200 MW wind farm to be built on Lanai. The other proposal did not advance after missing a key PUC deadline. Further, in July 2011, the PUC directed HECO to prepare a draft RFP for 200 MW or more of renewable energy to be delivered to the island of Oahu and submit the draft RFP to the PUC by mid-October 2011.

·      In July 2011, HECO signed a contract with Pacific Biodiesel to supply at least 250,000 gallons of locally produced biodiesel for a new 8 MW standby generation facility at the Honolulu Airport that will be owned by the State and operated by HECO, targeted for operation in 2012.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Liquidity and capital resources.  Management believes that HECO’s ability, and that of its subsidiaries, to generate cash, both internally from operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, commercial paper and lines of credit, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund their respective capital expenditures and investments and to cover debt, retirement benefits and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

(1)  There were no external short-term borrowings during the first six months of 2011. At June 30, 2011, HECO had $37 million and $17 million of short-term borrowings from HELCO and MECO, respectively, which borrowings are eliminated in consolidation. At July 21, 2011, HECO had no outstanding commercial paper, its line of credit facility was undrawn, it had no borrowings from HEI and it had borrowings of $43 million and $25 million from HELCO and MECO, respectively.

 

HECO has a line of credit facility of $175 million (see Note 9 of HECO’s “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”). There are customary conditions that must be met in order to draw on it, including compliance with its covenants (such as covenants preventing HECO’s subsidiaries from entering into agreements that restrict their ability to pay dividends to, or to repay borrowings from, HECO, and restricting HECO’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to guarantee additional indebtedness of the subsidiaries if such additional debt would cause the subsidiary’s “Consolidated Subsidiary Funded Debt to Capitalization Ratio” to exceed 65% (actual ratios of 43% for HELCO and 42% for MECO as of June 30, 2011, as calculated under the agreement)). In addition to customary defaults, HECO’s failure to maintain its financial ratios, as defined in the agreement, or meet other requirements may result in an event of default. For example, it is an event of default if HECO fails to maintain a “Consolidated Capitalization Ratio” (equity) of at least 35% (actual ratio of 55% as of June 30, 2011, as calculated under the agreement). The commitment fee and interest charges on drawn amounts under the agreement are subject to adjustment in the event of a change in HECO’s long-term credit ratings.

 

On March 31, 2011, HECO, HELCO and MECO filed with the PUC an application for authorization to issue up to $250 million, $25 million and $25 million, respectively, in one or more registered public offerings or private placements of unsecured obligations bearing taxable interest on or before December 31, 2015. The proceeds are expected to be used to fund capital expenditures (including repaying short-term indebtedness incurred to fund capital expenditures) and to repay $57.5 million and $11.4 million of outstanding Special Purpose Revenue Bonds at their maturity in 2012 and 2014, respectively.

 

On May 31, 2011, HECO, HELCO and MECO filed with the PUC an application for the authorization to issue unsecured obligations bearing taxable interest and/or refunding Special Purpose Revenue Bonds prior to January 1, 2016 to refinance select series of outstanding revenue bonds up to $347 million, $95 million and $82 million, respectively.

 

Operating activities provided $16 million in net cash during the first six months of 2011. Investing activities for the same period used net cash of $77 million for capital expenditures, net of contributions in aid of construction. Financing activities for the same period used net cash of $36 million, primarily due the payment of $36 million of common and preferred dividends.

In 2010, ASB successfully completed its multi-year Performance Improvement Project that began in 2008. The many initiatives of this project resulted in substantially improved profitability and reduced risk in 2010, which continued into the first six months of 2011.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, ASB reported a strong 1.20% return on assets and 57% efficiency ratio, and ASB’s profitability metrics were in line with or better than the average of its high performing peers. Key drivers of this improved performance include:

 

1.     ASB’s significant reduction of non-interest expense;

2.     ASB’s reduction of its exposure to riskier non-core assets;

3.     ASB’s lowering of its funding costs through its free checking product and lower CD balances; and

 

58



Table of Contents

 

4.     ASB’s optimization of its balance sheet and capital efficiency and improvement of its capital ratios by exercising discipline through the downturn on what it selected to put on its balance sheet and holding additional capital to hedge against the downside of the credit cycle.

 

In addition, as Hawaii’s economy started to improve, ASB saw improvements in credit quality measures such as delinquent and nonaccrual loans and net charge-offs. ASB’s credit quality metrics through the down cycle has been better than the average of its peers due to its historic disciplined and conservative underwriting standards.

 

Management continues working to grow its bank franchise in Hawaii and remains focused on maintaining ASB as a high performing community bank with a targeted return on assets of 1.2%, net interest margin above 4% and an efficiency ratio in the mid-50s. Despite the revenue pressures across the banking industry, management expects ASB’s low-cost funding base, reduced cost structure and lower-risk profile to continue to deliver strong performance compared to industry averages.

Average deposit liabilities

 

$4,047,736 vs $4,021,920

 

$4,018,921 vs $4,018,382

 

 

 

The shift in deposit mix from higher cost term certificates to lower cost savings and checking accounts has contributed to decreased funding costs.

 

· Average term certificates

 

$613,951 vs $791,248

 

$629,567 vs $819,729

 

 

 

Decrease due to the outflow of term certificates throughout 2010 and year-to-date 2011 as ASB determined not to aggressively price its term certificate products.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

· Core deposits

 

$3,433,785 vs $3,230,672

 

$3,389,354 vs $3,198,653

Provision for loan losses

 

$2,555 vs $990

 

$7,105 vs $6,349

 

 

 

In the first six months of 2011, ASB recorded a provision for loan losses primarily due to the net charge-offs during the period for 1-4 family, residential land, and commercial loans. The second quarter 2011 provision for loan losses was lower than the provision for the first quarter of 2011 as a result of continued modest improvement in loan credit quality and portfolio mix. In the second quarter of 2010, ASB released loan loss reserves totaling $2.4 million on a commercial loan that was sold during the quarter and a commercial real estate construction loan that was successfully completed and fully leased and reclassified to an income property commercial real estate loan from a higher risk construction loan classification.

 

 

 

 

 

Noninterest income

 

$16,877 vs $18,658

 

$32,324 vs $36,510

 

 

 

Decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to lower deposit liability fees as a result of new overdraft fee regulations, which took effect in mid-2010, partly offset by nonrecurring insurance proceeds. See “Noninterest income and expenses” below.

 

 

 

 

 

Noninterest expenses

 

$36,188 vs $39,625

 

$71,264 vs $77,595

 

 

 

Decrease in noninterest expense primarily due to lower data processing expense as a result of ASB’s conversion to Fiserv Inc.’s bank platform system in May 2010. See “Noninterest income and expenses” below.

(4)   Net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.

 

Earning assets, costing liabilities and other factors.  Earnings of ASB depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on costing liabilities. The current interest rate environment is impacted by disruptions in the financial markets and these conditions may have a negative impact on ASB’s net interest margin.

 

Loan originations and mortgage-related securities are ASB’s primary sources of earning assets.

 

Loan portfolio.  ASB’s loan volumes and yields are affected by market interest rates, competition, demand for financing, availability of funds and management’s responses to these factors. The composition of ASB’s loan portfolio was as follows:

Principal and interest on mortgage-related securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) are guaranteed by the issuer, and the securities carry implied AAA ratings.

 

Deposits and other borrowings.  Deposits continue to be the largest source of funds for ASB and are affected by market interest rates, competition and management’s responses to these factors. Core deposits continue to be strong, as depositors remain risk adverse. Advances from the FHLB of Seattle and securities sold under agreements to repurchase continue to be additional sources of funds. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, ASB’s costing liabilities consisted of 94% deposits and 6% other borrowings. The weighted average cost of

Other factors.  Interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASB’s operations and also represents a market risk factor affecting the fair value of ASB’s investment securities. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into decreases and increases in fair value of those instruments. In addition, changes in credit spreads also impact the fair values of those instruments.

 

Although higher long-term interest rates or other conditions in credit markets (such as the effects of the deteriorated subprime market) could reduce the market value of available-for-sale investment and mortgage-related securities and reduce shareholder’s equity through a balance sheet charge to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), this reduction in the market value of investments and mortgage-related securities

Table of Contents

 

would not result in a charge to net income in the absence of a sale of such securities or an “other-than-temporary” impairment in the value of the securities. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the unrealized gains, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investments and mortgage-related securities (including securities pledged for repurchase agreements) in AOCI was $7 million and $4 million, respectively. See “Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.”

 

Legislation and regulation.  ASB is subject to extensive regulation, principally by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), whose regulatory functions are to be transferred to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) as described below, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Depending on ASB’s level of regulatory capital and other considerations, these regulations could restrict the ability of ASB to compete with other institutions and to pay dividends to its shareholder. See the discussion below under “Liquidity and capital resources.”

 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).  Regulation of the financial services industry, including regulation of HEI and ASB, will undergo substantial changes as a result of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, which became law in July 2010. Importantly for HEI and ASB, under the Dodd-Frank Act, on July 21, 2011, all of the functions of the OTS transferred to the OCC, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Supervision and regulation of HEI, as a thrift holding company, moved to the Federal Reserve, and supervision and regulation of ASB, as a federally chartered savings bank, moved to the OCC. While the laws and regulations applicable to HEI and ASB did not generally change—the Home Owners Loan Act and regulations issued thereunder still apply—the applicable laws and regulations are being interpreted, and new and amended regulations may be adopted, by the Federal Reserve and the OCC. HEI will for the first time be subject to minimum consolidated capital requirements, and ASB may be required to be supervised through ASHI, its intermediate holding company. HEI will continue to be required to serve as a source of strength to ASB in the event of its financial distress. The Dodd-Frank Act also imposes new restrictions on the ability of a savings bank to pay dividends should it fail to remain a qualified thrift lender.

 

More stringent affiliate transaction rules now apply to ASB in the securities lending, repurchase agreement and derivatives areas. Standards were raised with respect to the ability of ASB to merge with or acquire another institution. In reviewing a potential merger or acquisition, the approving federal agency will need to consider the extent to which the proposed transaction will result in “greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the U.S. banking or financial system.” Based on the changes to the assessment base and rates, ASB anticipates a reduction in its annual FDIC assessment of approximately $2 million. ASB may be affected by the provision of the Dodd-Frank Act that repeals, effective in July 2011, the prohibition on payments of interest by banks or savings associations on demand deposit accounts for businesses.

 

The Dodd-Frank Act establishes a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau) that will have authority to prohibit practices it finds to be unfair, deceptive or abusive, and it may also issue rules requiring specified disclosures and the use of new model forms. ASB may also be subject to new state regulation because of a provision in the Dodd-Frank Act.

 

The Dodd-Frank Act also adopts a number of provisions that will impact the mortgage industry, including the imposition of new specific duties on the part of mortgage originators (such as ASB) to act in the best interests of consumers and to take steps to ensure that consumers will have the capability to repay loans they may obtain, as well as provisions imposing new disclosure requirements and requiring appraisal reforms. Regulations are required to be adopted within 18 months after the date that is to be specified by the Secretary of the Treasury for the transfer of consumer protection power to the Bureau.

 

The “Durbin Amendment” to the Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve to issue rules to ensure that debit card interchange fees are “reasonable and proportional” to the processing costs incurred. Previously, the Federal Reserve had proposed a cap on debit card interchange fees that card issuers can receive up to 12 cents per transaction. In June 2011, however, the Federal Reserve issued a final rule establishing standards for debit card interchange fees and prohibiting network exclusivity arrangements and routing restrictions. Under the final rule, effective October 1, 2011, the maximum permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an electronic debit transaction is 21-24 cents, depending on certain components. ASB currently earns an average of 52 cents per transaction. As specified in the

 

64



Table of Contents

 

Dodd-Frank Act, these regulations will exempt banks like ASB with less than $10 billion in assets. However, market pressures could very well push the impact down to all banks.

 

Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended, will not become effective until implementing regulations are issued and effective. Thus, management cannot predict the ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended, on the Company or ASB at this time. Nor can management predict the impact or substance of other future federal or state legislation or regulation, or the application thereof.

 

Overdraft rules.  On November 12, 2009, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System announced that it amended Regulation E (which implements the Electronic Fund Transfer Act) to limit the ability of a financial institution to assess an overdraft fee for paying automated teller machine or one-time debit card transactions that overdraw a consumer’s account, unless the consumer affirmatively consents, or opts in, to the institution’s payment of overdrafts for those transactions. These new rules applied on July 1, 2010 for new accounts and August 15, 2010 for existing accounts. In 2009, these types of overdraft fees totaled approximately $15 million pretax for ASB. The amendment had a negative impact on ASB’s noninterest income of approximately $6.0 million pretax for the first six months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010.

As of June 30, 2011, ASB was one of Hawaii’s largest financial institutions based on assets of $4.9 billion and deposits of $4.1 billion.

 

As of June 30, 2011, ASB’s unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $1.1 billion. As of June 30, 2011, ASB had commitments to borrowers for loan commitments and unused lines and letters of credit of $1.3 billion. Management believes ASB’s current sources of funds will enable it to meet these obligations while maintaining liquidity at satisfactory levels.

 

For the first six months of 2011, net cash provided by ASB’s operating activities was $53 million. Net cash used during the same period by ASB’s investing activities was $133 million, primarily due to purchases of investment and mortgage-related securities of $193 million and a net increase in loans receivable of $105 million, offset by repayments of investment and mortgage-related securities of $162 million. Net cash provided in financing activities during this period was $53 million, primarily due to net increases in deposit liabilities and retail repurchase agreements of $80 million and $2 million, respectively, offset by the payment of $28 million in common stock dividends.

 

FDIC regulations restrict the ability of financial institutions that are not well-capitalized to compete on the same terms as well-capitalized institutions, such as by offering interest rates on deposits that are significantly higher than the rates offered by competing institutions. As of June 30, 2011, ASB was well-capitalized (minimum ratio requirements noted in parentheses) with a leverage ratio of 9.1% (5.0%), a Tier-1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.3% (6.0%) and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.3% (10.0%). OTS approval is required before ASB can pay a dividend or otherwise make a capital distribution to HEI (through ASHI).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Company considers interest-rate risk (a non-trading market risk) to be a very significant market risk for ASB as it could potentially have a significant effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. For additional quantitative and qualitative information about the Company’s market risks, see pages 90 to 92, HEI’s Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in Part II, Item 7A of HEI’s 2010 Form 10-K and HECO’s Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, which is incorporated into Part II, Item 7A of HECO’s 2010 Form 10-K by reference to Exhibit 99.2.

ASB’s net interest income (NII) sensitivity was more sensitive for increases in rates as of June 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 as changes in asset mix reduced maturing or repricing cash flows within the 1 year horizon.  The base net portfolio value (NPV) ratio increased as of June 30, 2011 due to lower interest rates which led to an increase in the market value of the mortgage portfolio compared to December 31, 2010.  There was a modest increase in the NPV sensitivity measure as of June 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 as the balance sheet grew and shifted with increased investments and nonmortgage loans funded by deposits, cash and residential loan repayments.

 

The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes on the NII sensitivity, NPV ratio, and NPV ratio sensitivity analyses is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, balance changes and pricing strategies, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. To the extent market conditions and other factors vary from the assumptions used in the simulation analysis, actual results may differ materially from the simulation results. Furthermore, NII sensitivity analysis measures the change in ASB’s twelve-month, pre-tax NII in alternate interest rate scenarios, and is intended to help management identify potential exposures in ASB’s current balance sheet and formulate appropriate strategies for managing interest rate risk. The simulation does not contemplate any actions that ASB management might undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Further, the changes in NII vary in the twelve-month simulation period and are not necessarily evenly distributed over the period. These analyses are for analytical purposes only and do not represent management’s views of future market movements, the level of future earnings, or the timing of any changes in earnings within the twelve month analysis horizon. The actual impact of changes in interest rates on NII will depend on the magnitude and speed with which rates change, actual changes in ASB’s balance sheet, and management’s responses to the changes in interest rates.
