NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (the "Company") in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information that are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 promulgated by Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to financial statements required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

2.

The Company's reports for interim periods utilize numerous estimates of production cost, general and administrative expenses, and other costs for the full year. Future actual amounts may differ from the estimates. Amounts in the interim reports are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

3.

Comprehensive loss was higher than net loss by $4,668,000 (net of taxes of $2,625,000) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 due to the remeasurement of the Company's pension and postretirement plans (see Note 12). Net loss was equal to comprehensive loss for the interim periods ended September 30, 2007.

4.

The effective tax rate for 2008 and 2007 differs from the statutory federal rate primarily because of the state tax provision and state tax credits.

5.

Accounts and notes receivable are reflected net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,596,000 and $327,000 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

6.

Inventories as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were as follows:

        Effective January 1, 2008, the Company changed its method of accounting for pineapple juice inventory from the Last-In, First-Out ("LIFO") method to the First-In, First-Out ("FIFO") method, which is the method used for fresh pineapple fruit inventory. The Company did not apply the accounting change to its previous inventories of processed solid-pack pineapple products, as the Company ceased all processing and canning of solid-pack pineapple products in 2007 and had no inventory as of January 1, 2008. The Company expects that a single method of accounting for both fresh fruit and processed juice will improve the clarity of the Company's financial results by more clearly reflecting periodic income. The Company believes the FIFO method is preferable to the LIFO method because it 1) provides better matching of inventory costs to revenues, 2) eliminates the non-cash earnings that have resulted from past LIFO liquidations and from

7

future liquidations that are likely to occur, 3) better reflects the physical flow of inventories, and 4) more closely reflects the current cost of inventories on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The effect of the accounting change would not have been material to the Company's previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for quarterly periods during 2007, or to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. As a result, the Company has not made any adjustments to reflect a retrospective application to its prior financial statements; rather the Company recorded the cumulative effect of this change of $326,000 (net of income taxes of $191,000) as a credit to cost of product revenues with associated increases in inventory and deferred tax liabilities. The Company had previously presented the cumulative effect as an increase to retained earnings as of January 1, 2008 in its June 2008 condensed consolidated financial statements. Such presentation has been corrected to be part of the results of operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008.

        For comparability purposes, the Company's net loss for the third quarter and first nine months of 2008 would have been approximately $4,000 and $235,000 lower, respectively, (nil and $0.03 per basic share) if the Company's pineapple juice inventories had been accounted for under the LIFO method.

7.

Average Common Shares Outstanding Used to Compute Earnings Per Share

        For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, potentially dilutive common shares of 883,104, 56,270 and 324,727, respectively, from stock-based compensation and assumed conversion of convertible debt (see Note 18) are not included in the number of diluted common shares because to do so would have an antidilutive effect on the earnings (loss) per share amounts (i.e., decrease loss per common share).

8.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        As of January 1, 2008, the Company and its equity method investee, Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC (see Note 9) adopted the provisions of the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB ("EITF") Issue No. 06-8, Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer's Continuing Investment under FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate ("SFAS No. 66"), for Sales of Condominiums ("EITF 06-8"). EITF 06-8 requires condominium sales to meet the continuing investment criterion in SFAS No. 66 in order for profit to be recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. For sales through 2007 that do not meet the continuing investment criteria in SFAS No. 66, EITF 06-8 requires that such transactions be accounted for using the deposit method with profits being deferred until the sales qualify for percentage-of-completion, or full accrual accounting in later periods. The cumulative effect for the Company of applying EITF 06-8, was $4,622,000 (net of income tax effect) and is reported as a charge to retained earnings as of January 1, 2008.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why derivative instruments are used; (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as amended; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. SFAS

8

No. 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

9.

Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC

        The Company's equity in the income of Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC ("Kapalua Bay Holdings") was $26.5 million and $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $5.1 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

        Upon formation of Kapalua Bay Holdings in 2004, the Company's non-monetary contributions to Kapalua Bay Holdings, including a 21-acre land parcel, were valued at $25 million by the members through arms-length negotiations. The land contribution was recorded by the Company in its investment carrying value in Kapalua Bay Holdings at historical cost, which was nominal, and Kapalua Bay Holdings recorded the contribution at its fair value of $25 million. In 2007, Kapalua Bay Holdings began to recognize profit from binding sales contracts on the whole and fractional ownership condominiums on the percentage-of-completion method. Accordingly, in 2007, the Company began to recognize a proportionate amount of the unrealized appreciation of the fair value of the land and other non-monetary contributions and other deferred costs related to the joint venture. At September 30, 2008, the six residential buildings in the project were approximately 66% to 93% complete.

        In July 2006, Kapalua Bay Holdings entered into a syndicated Construction Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") for the lesser of $370 million or 61.6% of the total projected cost of the project. Lehman's commitment under the Loan Agreement is approximately 78% of the total. The Loan is collateralized by the project assets, including the fee simple interest in the land owned by Kapalua Bay Holdings, the adjacent spa parcel owned by the Company, and all of the sales contracts. To date, approximately $211 million has been funded under the Loan Agreement and the project is approximately 80% complete, and scheduled for opening in Spring 2009. As of September 30, 2008, total contracted sales for the project are approximately $313 million, representing approximately 40% of the units which will be available for sale.

        On September 15, 2008 Lehman filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 22, 2008, Lehman and other lenders in the syndicate were obligated to fund to Kapalua Bay Holdings $35.6 million under the Loan Agreement. The other lenders in the syndicate, representing 22% of the loan commitments, funded their portion, but Lehman has failed to provide its portion of the funding, and its intent and ability to fund future draws under the Loan Agreement is not currently known.

        As a result of Lehman's failure to comply with the Loan Agreement, the members of Kapalua Bay Holdings have agreed to advance funds to Kapalua Bay Holdings, which, when combined with funding received from lenders other than Lehman under the Loan Agreement, will be sufficient to pay minimum progress payments due to PCL Construction Services (PCL), the general contractor. In October 2008, the Company made an uncollateralized loan to Kapalua Bay Holdings totaling $3.6 million.

        In the event Lehman continues to refuse to fund its obligations under the Loan Agreement, Kapalua Bay Holdings will be required to seek alternative funding sources in order to continue to make progress payments to PCL under the construction agreement. Alternative funding sources could include refinancing the Lehman loan with new lenders, or seeking additional capital from members of Kapalua Bay Holdings. Failure to obtain necessary funding will result in construction delays that could adversely affect results of operations. Although Kapalua Bay Holdings is not

9

contractually obligated to provide buyers with completed units until April 2011, construction delays could negatively impact the volume and timing of sales.

        As of January 1, 2008, Kapalua Bay Holdings adopted EITF 06-8. The cumulative effect of adopting EITF 06-8 of $12.5 million was recorded as a reduction to Kapalua Bay Holdings' January 1, 2008 retained earnings, and the Company recorded its proportionate share of this adjustment to its opening retained earnings for 2008 (see Note 8).

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company made cash contributions of $7.8 million to Kapalua Bay Holdings.

        Summarized operating information for Kapalua Bay Holdings is as follows:

10.

Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua Hotel JV

        On March 28, 2007, the Company sold the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel to W2005 Kapalua/Gengate Hotel Holdings, L.L.C. (the "Hotel JV"), which owned the hotel and was the lessee under the long-term ground lease with the Company. Approximately 49 acres, with a nominal cost basis, were sold for $25 million in cash at closing and for a 21.4% interest in the Hotel JV, and the Company recognized a gain of $24.8 million on the partial sale of the land. In January 2008, the Company chose to not fund its portion of a cash call totaling $2.6 million, which resulted in a dilution of its interest in the Hotel JV to approximately 16%.

        Certain dilution provisions provide that should the Company choose not to fund additional cash calls, if any, its interest will be reduced by the aggregate amount of the increase in the percentage interests of all contributing members, but in no event shall the Company's percentage interest be reduced below 10%.

        In July 2007, the hotel closed for a major renovation and conversion of 250 hotel rooms into 107 condominium units. The hotel reopened in December 2007 and, in March 2008, the Hotel JV began selling the residential suite condominiums.

11.

Stock-Based Compensation

        The total compensation expense recognized for stock-based compensation was $1,786,000 and $3,468,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $544,000 and $606,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The total tax benefit related thereto was $643,000 and $1,019,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $196,000 and $242,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Recognized stock compensation was reduced for estimated forfeitures prior to vesting primarily based on historical annual forfeiture rates of approximately 4.1% and 5.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances.

        Additional stock option information for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the fair value of the Company's stock options awarded to employees was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:

        As of September 30, 2008, there was $3,549,000 of total unrecognized compensation for awards granted under the stock option plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

Restricted Stock

        In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, 84,000 shares of restricted stock were granted to certain directors and officers pursuant to the 2006 Equity and Incentive Award Plan. The shares will vest subject to achievement of certain performance measures. In the first nine months of 2008, 6,000 shares of restricted stock vested as directors' service requirements were met. The weighted

11

average grant-date fair value of restricted stock granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $24.42 and $32.32, per share, respectively.

        A summary of the activity for restricted stock awards as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is presented below:

12.

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost

        The net periodic benefit costs for pension and other post-retirement benefits for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

        During 2008, the Company expects to contribute $1.1 million to its defined benefit pension plans and $777,000 to its other post-retirement benefit plans. Curtailment of the non-bargaining unit pension and postretirement health plan resulted from the severance of approximately 11% of the plan participants in the third quarter of 2008. With the curtailment, the Company remeasured the plan assets and benefit obligations of the non-bargaining unit pension and postretirement health plan as of September 30, 2008. The net change in assets and obligations resulted in an actuarial loss recognized in comprehensive loss amounting to $4,668,000 (net of taxes of $2,625,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The non-bargaining unit pension plan

12

assets were measured at fair value at September 30, 2008, and the plan benefit obligations were computed using a discount rate of 7.4% and a rate of compensation increase of 3.5%.

13.

Fair Value

        The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, on January 1, 2008 for its financial assets and liabilities and there was no material impact to the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 157 applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 157 requires new disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

        Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

        Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

        Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

        In July 2008, the Company issued $40 million in senior secured notes that are convertible in to the Company's common stock (see Note 18). The conversion features related to the notes that gave rise to a derivative liability recorded at fair value as of September 30, 2008.

        In January 2008, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce future cash flow variability for approximately two years on $55 million of variable rate debt. The effect of the agreements is to convert variable-rate interest, which was previously tied to 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month LIBOR terms, to fixed-rate interest of approximately 4.4% based on a 2-year fixed LIBOR rate. The transactions were not designated as hedges under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and accordingly, the gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value from these interest rate swaps are recognized currently in interest expense.

        Fair value measurements at September 30, 2008 using significant other inputs (Level 2) were as follows and are recognized as current assets (liabilities) on the Company's consolidated balance sheet:

        SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company's nonfinancial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009; it is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

14.

Income Taxes

        The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48") on January 1, 2007 resulting in a $200,000 charge to retained earnings as of that date. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expense in its consolidated statement of operations and such amounts are included in income taxes payable on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

13

        At September 30, 2008, the Company had a liability of $438,000 for unrecognized tax benefits and interest thereon of $674,000. At September 30, 2008, $7.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits represented taxes on revenues for which the timing of the taxability is uncertain and the liability for such taxes has been recognized as deferred tax liabilities. The acceleration of the recognition of such income would not affect the estimated annual effective tax rate, but would accelerate the payment of income taxes to earlier periods and would result in additional interest expense.

15.

Operating Segment Information

(1)

Operating Profit (Loss) for the Community Development segment includes equity in earnings from the Kapalua Bay Holdings joint venture (see Note 9).

16.

Commitments and Contingencies

        Pursuant to a 1999 settlement agreement with the County of Maui, the Company and several chemical manufacturers have agreed that until December 1, 2039, they will pay for 90% of the capital cost to install filtration systems in any future water wells if the presence of a nematocide commonly known as DBCP exceeds specified levels, and for the ongoing maintenance and operating cost for filtration systems on existing and future wells. The Company is presently not aware of any plans by the County of Maui to install other filtration systems or to drill any water wells in areas affected by agricultural chemicals. Accordingly, a reserve for costs relating to any future wells has not been recorded because the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of the liability (if any).

        The Company is obligated to purchase the spa, beach club improvements and the sundry store from Kapalua Bay Holdings at actual construction cost. Terms of the purchase are being negotiated with the members of Kapalua Bay Holdings. The cost of the facilities is currently estimated to be approximately $35 million.

        There are various other claims and legal actions pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the resolution of these other matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

14

        The Company, as an investor in various affiliates (partnerships, limited liability companies), may under specific circumstances be called upon to make additional capital contributions.

        At September 30, 2008, the Company had commitments under signed contracts totaling $9.7 million, which primarily relate to real estate development projects.

17.

Pineapple Operations Restructuring

        In June 2007, the Company ceased substantially all canning and processing of solid-pack pineapple products and recorded net charges totaling $5.4 million consisting principally of net losses on the disposition of assets, the loss on a long-term purchase supply contract and employee severance expense.

        In the third quarter of 2008, the Company reduced the size of its workforce by approximately 274 positions or about 25%. The reduction was accomplished by consolidating certain departments and functions, and by down-sizing the Company's pineapple operations by approximately 204 positions. The decision was made in response to the weak economy, the rising cost of energy and the high consumption of cash and operating losses of the pineapple operations.

        The Company incurred employee severance charges in the third quarter of 2008 for the pineapple and other business segments of approximately $2.5 million, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company is continuing to evaluate the cost of the planned down-sizing of the pineapple operations and expects to incur additional costs in 2008.

18.

Convertible Notes

        On July 28, 2008, the Company concluded a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional accredited investors and issued an aggregate of $40,000,000 in principal amount of senior secured convertible notes (the "Notes"), bearing 5.875% interest per annum payable quarterly in cash in arrears beginning October 15, 2008, resulting in proceeds of $38,503,000 (net of issuance costs of $1,497,000).

        The Notes are convertible, at any time following their issuance, into shares of common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price of $33.50 per share, which is equal to an initial conversion rate of 29.8507 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. The conversion price is subject to (i) standard weighted-average anti-dilution protection, and (ii) to an automatic reset 18 months following the closing of the Financing at the lower of the then current conversion price and 115% of the closing bid price of the common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the adjustment date; provided, that in no event shall the conversion price be reset below $30.00 per share. The Notes are secured by specified assets of the Company.

        The Notes mature on July 15, 2013. However, if on or after the second anniversary of the date of issuance, (i) the dollar-volume weighted average price of the common stock as reported on the NYSE exceeds, for each of any 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, 175% of the adjusted conversion price of the Notes, then the Company will have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require the holders to convert all, or any portion, of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of common stock at the then-applicable conversion price.

        On the third anniversary of the closing, each Purchaser has the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of such Purchaser's Note at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Note being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, each Purchaser will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of such Purchaser's Note at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Note being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid

15

interest thereon. If a Purchaser elects to convert its Note in connection with a change of control, the Company will pay a make-whole premium to such Purchaser, unless (i) at least 90% of the consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional shares, in such change of control consists of shares of capital stock of the surviving or resulting entity that are listed on, or immediately after the transaction or event will be listed on, a national securities exchange and as a result of such transaction or transactions the Notes become convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such capital stock of the surviving or resulting entity and such entity has assumed the obligations under the Note or (ii) the Company continues to be the successor entity and the common stock continues to be listed on a national securities exchange.

        The conversion features of the Notes including the make-whole premium ("conversion features") gave rise to an embedded derivative instrument that is required to be accounted for separately in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock. Accordingly, the Company bifurcated the fair value of the conversion features of the Notes which was determined to be $10.1 million on July 28, 2008, and will be recorded as a derivative liability and carried at fair value, with changes in fair value being recorded in earnings. At September 30, 2008, the fair value of the derivative liability was approximately $8.6 million, and the $1.4 million reduction in fair value was recorded as a credit to interest expense. As a result of the bifurcation, the carrying value of the Notes was $29.9 million which is being accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method to the stated value of the Notes of $40 million over the three year term of the Notes. For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, such accretion amounted to $486,000 and is recorded as interest expense.

        The Agriculture segment primarily includes growing, packing, and marketing of fresh pineapple. Our pineapple is sold under the brand names Maui Gold® and Hawaiian Gold™. We also grow and market fresh organic pineapple. In 2007, a portion of our business included processing (canning) pineapple; however, we ceased substantially all canning and processing of solid-pack product in June 2007.

        The fresh fruit market is a year-round business, which requires consistency of supply. Over the past several years, we have made significant progress in changing our agronomic practices and planting schedules to produce a more consistent and predictable supply of fruit throughout the year. In addition, we have made significant progress in implementing improved crop maintenance and agronomic practices that we believe will improve our plant yields (tons of fruit per acre) and fruit quality.

Resort

        The Kapalua Resort is part of approximately 22,000 contiguous acres owned by us in West Maui, most of which remains as open space. The Kapalua Resort borders the ocean with five white sand beaches and includes The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel, the Ritz-Carlton Residences at Kapalua Bay, eight residential subdivisions, two championship golf courses (The Bay and The Plantation), a ten-court tennis facility, the first phase of commercial space in the central area of the Kapalua Resort, several restaurants, and over 800 condominiums, single-family homes and residential lots. We operate Kapalua Resort's two golf courses, the tennis facility, several retail shops, the Kapalua Villas, a vacation rental program, and provide certain services to the Kapalua Resort. We currently have approximately 228 units in our Kapalua Villas vacation rental program. In late December 2007, our new Kapalua Adventure Center opened and in January 2008, our Mountain Outpost began operations. The Adventure Center is located in the former Village Clubhouse and includes a retail area featuring outdoor clothing and gear, a café and is the check-in point for the Mountain Outpost, which is comprised of zip-lines stretching over scenic ravines in the West Maui mountains, a high ropes challenge course, a climbing wall and other activities.

Community Development

        The Community Development segment includes our real estate entitlement, development, construction, sales, leasing, and conservation activities. Our projects are focused primarily on the luxury real estate market in and surrounding the Kapalua Resort and affordable and moderately priced

17

residential and mixed use projects in West Maui and Upcountry Maui. This segment also includes the operations of Kapalua Realty Company, our general brokerage real estate company located within the Resort, and our Public Utilities Commission regulated water and sewage operations that service the Kapalua Resort and adjacent communities.

        The Community Development segment also includes our 51% equity interest in Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC ("Kapalua Bay Holdings"), the limited liability company that purchased the Kapalua Bay Hotel in August 2004 (see Note 9 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Kapalua Bay Holdings demolished the Kapalua Bay Hotel and the adjacent shops in order to develop new whole and fractional residential units, an ocean-side spa, and a beach club at that location. As of September 30, 2008, the project was approximately 80% complete.

        We have approximately 1,800 acres of land in Maui that are at various stages in the land entitlement process. We must obtain appropriate entitlements for land that we intend to develop or use for construction. Securing proper land entitlement is a process that requires obtaining county, state and federal approvals, which can take several years to complete and entails a variety of risks.

        The Community Development segment is working on a number of real estate development projects, some of which are as follows:

•

Kapalua Mauka:  As presently planned, this project is comprised of 690 single and multi-family residential units and commercial components, five acres of commercial space and up to 27 holes of golf on a total of 925 acres.



•

The Village at Kapalua:  This is the commercial component of the central area of the Kapalua Resort. It is planned to be built in phases and will add approximately 30,000 square feet of new retail space to the Kapalua Resort. The Village will also include apartments, condominiums and other resort related facilities. The first phase of retail space opened in October 2006.



•

Pulelehua:  This project is designed to be a new traditional community for working families in West Maui. It encompasses 312 acres and is currently planned to include 13 acres for an elementary school, 882 dwelling units, 91 acres of usable open space, and a traditional village center with a mix of residential and neighborhood-serving commercial uses. We are currently in the process of seeking a change in zoning approval by the Maui County Council.



•

Hali'imaile Town:  This project is contemplated to be a new town in Upcountry Maui, a holistic traditional community with agriculture, education, and sustainability as core design elements. Community design workshops were held to involve the Maui community in determining the vision for this community. The public approval process for any plan to develop this area is expected to take several years and will be subject to urban growth boundary determination by the County of Maui when it updates the County General Plan over the next three years.

Current Developments

        In the third quarter of 2008, all of our business segments were negatively affected by the uncertainty in the local, national and world economies and continuing turmoil in the financial markets. Credit markets have tightened and Kapalua Resort was impacted by the reduced visitor counts to Maui and to the State of Hawaii, which affected our Community Development and Resort segments. In our pineapple operations, continued high energy prices affected the cost of fertilizers, packaging and other materials, and the cost of transporting fruit to markets, and fruit, equipment and employees between our locations. On July 24, 2008, we announced the reduction of 274 positions affecting jobs throughout our Company, primarily in the pineapple operations. This reduction in the workforce was concluded by the end of September 2008.

18

        On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., the lead lender in the syndicated construction loan for our Kapalua Bay Holdings condominium project filed a bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On September 22, 2008, Lehman and other lenders in the syndicate were obligated to fund to Kapalua Bay Holdings $35.6 million under the loan agreement between Kapalua Bay Holdings and Lehman. The other lenders in the syndicate, representing 22% of the loan commitments have continued to fund their portion of the loan draw for September and October, but Lehman has failed to provide its portion of the funding. Avoiding the stoppage of construction work on this project continues to be a high priority to us. As a result of Lehman's failure, the members of Kapalua Bay Holdings have agreed to advance funds to Kapalua Bay Holdings, which when combined with funding received from lenders other than Lehman under the loan agreement, have been sufficient to continue construction of the project. See Note 9 to condensed consolidated financial statements and "Risk Factors" on page 32 below.

        On July 28, 2008, we issued $40 million in senior secured convertible notes. Part of the proceeds was used to repay other debt and the remainder will be used for capital expenditures, development projects and operations. See Note 18 to condensed consolidated financial statements and "Risk Factors" on page 32 below.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of accounting estimates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Our critical accounting policies that require the use of estimates and assumptions were discussed in detail in our most recently filed Form 10-K. The following are in addition to the accounting estimates previously disclosed:

•

Our interest rate swap agreements and the derivative liability associated with our $40 million convertible notes are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The determination of fair value for these instruments involves numerous estimates and uncertainties such as future interest rates, volatility of our common stock price and duration of conversion. The fair values could vary significantly based on the assumptions used, which directly impacts our results of operations.

        There are no accounting pronouncements or interpretations that have been issued but not yet applied by us that we believe will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

CONSOLIDATED

        We reported a net loss of $8.7 million ($1.09 per share) for the third quarter of 2008 compared to a net loss of $155,000 ($.02 per share) for the third quarter of 2007. Consolidated revenues for the

19

third quarter of 2008 were $19.1 million compared to $28.5 million for the third quarter of 2007. Results for the third quarter of 2008 reflect increased operating losses from our Agriculture and Resort segments and lower operating profit from our Community Development segment.

General and Administrative

        Consolidated general and administrative expenses of $11.0 million, including severance expense of $2.5 million, for the third quarter of 2008 were approximately 55% higher than the third quarter of 2007.

        The major components of the difference in general and administrative expenses were as follows:

        The increase in general and administrative cost in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007 was primarily due to employee severance cost of $2.5 million due to a reduction in the size of our workforce in response to the weak economy and operating losses in particular from our Agriculture segment. The reduction in the size of the workforce is also reflected in decreased salaries and wages in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007, as the reductions took place through out the third quarter of 2008.

        The decrease in professional and other services in the third quarter of 2008 reflects a reduction of temporary employees and consultants that were used to supplement the staff in 2007.

        Loss on asset disposal for the third quarter of 2008 was primarily due to the write-off of excess equipment at Kapalua Resort and in our pineapple operations.

        Other includes insurance, pensions and other fringe benefits, charitable contributions, etc.

        General and administrative expenses are incurred at the corporate level and at the operating segment level. All general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level are allocated to our operating segments. Such allocations are made on the basis of our management's evaluation of service provided to the operating segments.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense was $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $405,000 for the third quarter of 2007. Interest incurred in the third quarter of 2008 was $2.4 million, of which $41,000 was capitalized to construction projects. In the third quarter of 2007, interest incurred was $701,000, of which $296,000 was capitalized to construction projects. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2008 includes a charge of $205,000 representing the change in the estimated fair value of the swap agreements entered into in January 2008 (see Note 13 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Interest expense for the third quarter of 2008 also includes a net credit of $941,000 representing the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative liability that was bifurcated from our $40 million

20

convertible notes, less accretion of $486,000 of the initial value of the derivative liability (see Note 18 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Higher interest expense in 2008 also reflects increased average borrowings in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007. Our effective interest rate on borrowings was 5.2% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 7.7% in the third quarter of 2007.

AGRICULTURE

Agriculture

        Revenues for the Agriculture segment decreased by 30%, or $3.1 million, from $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2007 to $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2008, primarily due to a decrease in processed fruit sales. In the third quarter of 2007, processed fruit sales comprised approximately 31% of total revenues from the Agriculture segment. In the third quarter of 2008, processed pineapple sales are comprised of juice sales only. The Agriculture segment produced an operating loss of $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2007.

        During 2007, we ceased all production of processed pineapple except for juice products. With the cessation of solid- pack canned products, we have focused our business on the sale of fresh premium pineapple. Continued operating losses in 2008 reflect processing plant problems early in the quarter and logistical issues that affected the quality of our fresh product, increased costs of operations, and employee severance costs in the third quarter of 2008 of approximately $1.7 million.

Fresh Pineapple Operations

        The case volume of fresh pineapple sales was lower by 15% for the third quarter of 2008; revenue per case sold was higher by 6% in 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007. Lower case sales volume in the third quarter of 2008 was due to logistical distribution issues that resulted in the disposal of significant quantities of product. Higher average pricing reflects the sale of only prime sized fruit to selective customers.

        The Agriculture segment cost of sales was lower by approximately 6% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007, largely as a result of the lower sales volume of fresh and processed product, partially offset by increased per unit cost of sales. Per unit cost of sales increased in 2008 because all fruit growing costs are now allocated to the fresh fruit product line, because of lower production volumes and fixed costs, and due to disposal of fruit as a result of logistic and quality problems. Juice is accounted for as a by-product and the cost of the product includes the additional direct factory cost of processing fruit that is not suitable to be sold as fresh fruit product into juice.

        Shipping and marketing cost decreased by 22% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007 because of lower volume of sales and lower per unit average shipping cost. Although higher fuel charges have increased transportation costs, we were able to reduce our average shipping cost in 2008 by shipping a greater percentage of products to the mainland United States by ocean freight rather than air freight, which is more costly.

21

RESORT

        Resort segment revenues increased by 17% or $1.3 million, from $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2008, reflecting increased revenues from our golf and retail operations, as well as revenues from our Adventure Center and Mountain Outpost that opened in late December 2007 and in early 2008. The Resort segment reported an operating loss of $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2007. A reduction in visitor arrivals and occupancy at the Resort, combined with increased operating expenses, was primarily responsible for the increased Resort operating loss.

Golf, Retail and Villas

        Revenues from golf operations increased by approximately 13% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007 as a result of an increase in paid rounds of golf and approximately 11% increase in average green and cart fees. Resort retail sales for the third quarter of 2008 were approximately 24% higher than the third quarter of 2007, reflecting the renovation of the Honolua Store that was completed in May 2008. In 2007, the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel was closed for renovations for all of the third quarter, which negatively affected our golf and retail operations.

        Revenues from the Kapalua Villas were less in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007 reflecting a 10% decrease in occupied rooms and a 1% lower average room rate. Rooms available in the third quarter of 2008 were slightly higher that the third quarter of 2007 as units under renovation in our Kapalua Gold program to upgrade and standardize the units in our rental program were completed.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

        The Community Development segment reported an operating profit of $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to an operating profit of $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2007. Revenues from this operating segment were $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2007. The reduction in revenues reflects lower revenues from real estate sales in the third quarter of 2008. Lower operating profit is due to sales of non-core land parcels in the third quarter of 2007.

        Operating profit includes our equity in the income of Kapalua Bay Holdings, which was $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $4.9 million in the third quarter of 2007. In the third quarter of 2008, in response to current economic conditions and based on prior experience, Kapalua Bay Holdings provided a reserve for potential defaults on closings of approximately $4 million for the third quarter of 2008.

22

        In 2007, Kapalua Bay Holdings began to recognize revenues and profits on the percentage-of-completion method from sale of the whole and fractional residential condominiums. The percentage of completion of the six residential buildings in this project ranged from 66% to 93% as of the end of September 2008. In connection with profit recognition under the percentage-of-completion method, we began to recognize a proportionate amount of the unrealized appreciation of the fair value of the land and other non-monetary contributions to Kapalua Bay Holdings and other deferred costs related to the joint venture (see Note 9 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

Real Estate Sales

        In the third quarter of 2007, we sold approximately 195 acres of Upcountry Maui property in two land sales transactions and recognized revenues of $8.2 million and pre-tax profit of approximately $7.7 million. The land sold had previously been earmarked as "non-core" to our operations. There were no land sales transactions in the third quarter of 2008.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

CONSOLIDATED

        We reported a net loss of $8.8 million ($1.11 per share) for the first nine months of 2008 compared to net income of $12.0 million ($1.55 per share) for the same period in 2007. Consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2008 were $62.0 million compared to $128.2 million for the first nine months of 2007. Lower revenues primarily reflect a reduction in real estate sales in 2008 and cessation of the sale of solid-pack pineapple products in the second half of 2007. Increased income from our equity interest in Kapalua Bay Holdings partially offset losses from our other operations.

General and Administrative

        Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased by 9%, or $2.4 million to $29.4 million for the first nine months of 2008 from $27.0 million for the first nine months of 2007.

        The major components of the difference in general and administrative expenses were as follows:

23

        General and administrative salaries & wages were lower in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to a reduction in the number of employees across all business segments and corporate services as we reduced the size of our workforce in July and September 2008 in response to weak economic conditions and operating losses, in particular from our Agriculture segment. The reduction in force is also reflected in the employee severance cost recorded in the first nine months of 2008.

        The decrease in employee incentives and stock compensation was primarily due to restricted stock vesting in 2007 for certain officers and a payment in 2007 of $1.1 million to David C. Cole, our Chairman, President & CEO because of an amendment to Mr. Cole's stock option agreement with the Company that reduced the value of his stock options. The stock option agreement was amended to eliminate adverse tax consequences to our Chairman imposed by section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

        The decrease in professional services and other services primarily reflects increased work performed by our staff that was previously contracted out to outside consultants and temporary help, and reduced requirements with regard to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 404, in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007.

        Loss on asset disposals primarily includes assets from the Agriculture segment related to the continuing restructuring of that business and the write-off of excess equipment at Kapalua Resort.

        Other includes insurance, pensions and other benefits, charitable contributions, etc.

        General and administrative expenses are incurred at the corporate level and at the operating segment level. All general and administrative expenses incurred at the corporate level are allocated to the operating segments. Such allocations are consistent with our management's evaluation of services provided to the operating segments.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense was $3.3 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared to $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2007. Interest incurred in the first nine months of 2008 was $4.6 million of which $300,000 was capitalized to construction projects. In the first nine months of 2007, interest incurred was $2.5 million of which $1.1 million was capitalized to construction projects. Interest expense for the first nine months of 2008 includes a credit of $134,000 representing the change in the estimated fair value of the swap agreements entered into in January 2008 (see Note 13 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Interest expense for the first nine months of 2008 also includes a net credit of $941,000 representing the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative liability that was bifurcated from our $40 million convertible notes, less amortization of $486,000 of the initial value of the derivative liability (see Note 18 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Our effective interest rate on borrowings was 5.2% for the first nine months of 2008 compared to 7.8% for the first nine months of 2007. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to higher average borrowings in the first nine months of 2008.

24

AGRICULTURE

        The Agriculture segment produced an operating loss of $19.3 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $18.6 million for the first nine months of 2007. Revenues for the first nine months of 2008 were $21.0 million or 44% lower than the first nine months of 2007, primarily due to a reduction in sales of processed products. In the first nine months of 2007, processed pineapple sales comprised approximately 42% of total revenues from the Agriculture segment. Effective as of June 30, 2007, we ceased the production of substantially all solid-pack pineapple products (see Note 17 to condensed consolidated financial statements). Therefore, in the first nine months of 2008, processed pineapple sales are comprised solely of juice sales.

        The operating loss for the first nine months of 2007 includes approximately $5.2 million of direct charges related to the restructuring of our pineapple operations. Continued operating losses in 2008 reflect issues at our fresh fruit packing facility, weather-related problems early in 2008 that affected the quality of our fresh product, distribution logistics in the third quarter of 2008, and increased provision for uncollectible accounts.

Fresh and Processed Operations

        The case volume of fresh pineapple sales decreased by approximately 10% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007, and revenue per case was lower by approximately 4% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007. Lower case sales volume and pricing in 2008 were due to delayed ripening of the fruit early in 2008 and product quality and distribution issues that prevented us from achieving optimum pricing and resulted in the disposal of significant volume of product.

        The Agriculture segment cost of sales was lower by approximately 29% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007, largely as a result of the lower sales volume of fresh and processed product, partially offset by increased per unit cost of sales. Per unit cost of sales increased in 2008 because all fruit growing costs are now allocated to the fresh fruit product line, because of lower production volumes and fixed costs, and due to disposal of fruit as a result of quality problems and distribution logistics. Juice is accounted for as a by-product and the cost of the product includes the additional direct factory cost of processing fruit that is not suitable to be sold as fresh fruit product into juice.

        Shipping and marketing cost decreased by 25% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007 because of lower volume of sales and lower average per unit shipping costs. Although higher fuel charges have increased transportation costs, we were able to reduce our average shipping cost in 2008 by shipping a greater percentage of products to the mainland United States by ocean freight rather than air freight, which is more costly.

25

RESORT

        The Resort segment reported an operating loss of $13.1 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared to an operating loss of $6.7 million for the first nine months of 2007. Resort segment revenues were $29.0 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared to $28.3 million for the same period in 2007. A reduction in visitor arrivals and occupancy at the Resort combined with increased operating expenses was largely responsible for the increased operating loss.

Golf, Retail and Villas

        Revenues from golf operations decreased by approximately 12% in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007 as a result of a decrease in paid rounds of golf, which was partially offset by an approximately 8% increase in average green and cart fees. Revenues from the Kapalua Villas were also less in the first nine months of 2008 compared to the first nine months of 2007 reflecting a 9% decrease in occupied rooms, partially offset by a 2% increase in average room rate. There were approximately 4% fewer rooms available in the first nine months of 2008 partially reflecting units under renovation under our Kapalua Gold program to upgrade and standardize the units in our rental program. Resort retail sales for the first nine months of 2008 were approximately 8% higher than the same period in 2007.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

        The Community Development segment reported an operating profit of $21.5 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared to $46.2 million for the first nine months of 2007. Revenues from this operating segment decreased by $50.8 million to $10.5 million for the first nine months of 2008 compared to $61.3 million for the first nine months of 2007. The reduction in revenues primarily reflects our recognition of $25.0 million of revenue in 2007 from our sale of the land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel in March 2007 (see Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements) and our recognition of $15.1 million of revenue from the sale of property in Upcountry Maui in 2007, partially offset by $4.4 million of revenue in 2008 from the sale of non-core property in Upcountry Maui in 2008.

        Our equity in the income of Kapalua Bay Holdings was $26.5 million in the first nine months of 2008 compared to $9.0 million in the first nine months of 2007. In 2007, the joint venture began to recognize revenues and profits on a percentage-of-completion method from the sales of whole and fractional residential condominiums. Accordingly, in 2007, the Company began to recognize a proportionate amount of the unrealized appreciation of the fair value of the land and other

26

non-monetary contributions to Kapalua Bay Holdings and other deferred costs related to the joint venture (see Note 9 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

Real Estate Sales

        In the first nine months of 2008, we sold approximately 111 acres of Upcountry Maui land that was considered non-core to our operations and recognized revenues of $4.4 million and pre-tax profit of approximately $4.1 million. In the first nine months of 2007, we sold approximately 533 acres of non-core Upcountry Maui property in four land sales transactions and recognized revenues of approximately $15.1 million and pre-tax gains of approximately $14.5 million from those land sales. In addition, in March 2007 we sold the approximately 49 acres of land underlying the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua hotel and recognized a pre-tax gain of $24.8 million (see Note 10 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

        Our Honolua Ridge Phase II subdivision consists of 25 agricultural-zoned lots, which began selling in August 2005. Through the end of 2007, 24 lot sales have closed escrow and the last lot remains in inventory at September 30, 2008. In the first nine months of 2007, seven lot sales closed escrow and we recognized revenues of $14.7 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Debt Position

        At September 30, 2008, our total debt, including capital leases, was $112.6 million, compared to $61.7 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in outstanding debt in the first nine months of 2008 was due primarily to negative cash flows from operating activities, our equity contribution to Kapalua Bay Holdings and expenditures for capital projects at the Kapalua Resort. At September 30, 2008, we had available credit lines of $44 million.

        On July 28, 2008, we issued $40 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes. The proceeds from this financing were used to re-pay $28.0 million of debt under our revolving lines of credit with interest rates that floated with the prime rate and a $9.7 million, 6.93% fixed rate term loan that matured through 2026 (see Note 18 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

        In January 2008, we entered into a fixed-interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo, the effect of which was to convert variable-rate interest expense, which was previously tied to 1-, 2-, 3- and 6-month LIBOR terms, to fixed-rate interest expense based on a 2-year fixed LIBOR rate. The interest rate swap enabled us to lock-in an average interest rate of 4.4% for approximately two years on $55.0 million of outstanding variable rate, revolving balances (see Note 13 to condensed consolidated financial statements).

27

Operating Cash Flows

        In the first nine months of 2008, consolidated net cash used in operating activities was $40.8 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.3 million for the first nine months of 2007. By operating segment, these cash flows were approximately as follows:
