PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

    CPB Inc. (the "Company"), a Hawaii corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). Pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Agreement of Merger, the Company was organized on February 1, 1982 to serve as a holding company for its subsidiary, Central Pacific Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank was incorporated in its present form in the State of Hawaii on March 16, 1982 in connection with the holding company reorganization, and its predecessor entity was incorporated in the State of Hawaii on January 15, 1954. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to applicable limits. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System.

    The Bank owns 100% of the outstanding stock of CPB Properties, Inc. ("CPB Properties"), a company which is a general and managing partner and 50% owner of CKSS Associates ("CKSS"), a Hawaii limited partnership. CKSS owns the Central Pacific Plaza, the property in which the Company's and the Bank's headquarters and main office are located. CKSS also owns the Kaimuki Plaza, the property in which the Bank's Kaimuki branch office is located. In addition, CPB Properties owns, University Square, the building in which the Bank's Moiliili branch office is located. The Bank owns the property and buildings where its Hilo and Kailua-Kona branch offices are located and the building where its operations center facility is located. See " ITEM 2. PROPERTIES ."

    The Bank also owns 99.8% and the Company owns 0.2% of the outstanding common stock of CPB Real Estate, Inc. ("CPBREI"), a real estate investment trust, which acquires, holds and manages stable, long-term real estate related assets including residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans and mortgage-backed securities. CPBREI, incorporated in March 1998, was established to provide the Company with an alternate means of raising capital and to enhance federal and state tax strategies. The impact of the tax strategies is discussed in Note 19 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2000 Annual Report. In November 1998, CPBREI issued 1,000 shares of Class A preferred stock to the Bank and certain employees of the Bank. At December 31, 2000, the Bank held 870 shares of CPBREI Class A preferred stock, and employees or former employees held 130 shares of CPBREI Class A preferred stock. In September 2000, CPBREI issued 100 shares of Class B preferred stock to the Bank and 92 shares of Class C preferred stock to the Bank.

    The principal office of the Company is located at 220 South King Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, and its telephone number is (808) 544-0500.

Banking Services

    The Bank is a full-service commercial bank which currently has 24 banking offices and 76 ATMs located throughout the State of Hawaii. Its administrative and main office is located in Honolulu, and there are nineteen other branches on the island of Oahu. In addition, the Bank operates one branch on the island of Maui, one branch on the island of Kauai and two branches on the island of Hawaii.

    Through its network of banking offices, the Bank emphasizes personalized services and offers a full range of banking services to small- and medium-sized businesses, professionals and individuals in Hawaii. The Bank offers a variety of deposit instruments. These include personal and business checking and savings accounts, including interest-bearing negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") accounts, money market accounts and time certificates of deposit.

    Lending activities include granting of commercial, consumer and real estate loans. The Bank offers inventory and accounts receivable financing, furniture, fixture and equipment financing, short-term

2


operating loans, and commercial real estate and construction loans. Consumer loans include home equity lines of credit, loans for automobiles, home improvement and debt consolidation, personal and professional lines of credit and other installment and term loans for other personal needs.

    The Bank offers credit cards and VISA CHECK CARD, a debit card service, and is a member of the Star and Plus ATM Networks. The Bank also offers an internet banking service through its website at cpbi.com as well as an Infoline service, providing telephonic account information and funds transfer services.

    Other services designed to service the needs of businesses and individuals include investment and life insurance services, business PC banking, travelers' checks, safe deposit boxes, international banking services, night depository facilities and wire transfer services.

    The Bank's Trust Division offers asset management and custody services for a variety of accounts including revocable and irrevocable trusts, agency accounts, guardianships of property, charitable remainder trusts and probates.

Market Area and Competition

    The Bank competes in the financial services industry mainly targeting retail and small to mid-sized businesses. The market is highly competitive with five commercial banks, two savings and loans, several finance companies and numerous credit unions operating in the state of Hawaii. The two largest banks in the state have expanded their markets out-of-state through merger and acquisition activity.

    Bancwest Corporation had $18.5 billion in assets at year-end 2000. First Hawaiian Bank, the Hawaii-based subsidiary bank, has approximately 26% of the deposits in the state of Hawaii.

    Pacific Century Financial Corporation had $14.0 billion in total assets at year-end 2000. Bank of Hawaii, its largest subsidiary bank, maintains approximately 25% of the deposits in the state of Hawaii.

    American Savings Bank, a subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Industries, held $6.0 billion in assets at year end 2000. American Savings Bank has approximately 17% of the deposits in the state of Hawaii.

    Based on total consolidated assets at December 31, 2000, the Company is the third largest bank holding company in the State of Hawaii and the Bank is the third largest commercial bank in the State of Hawaii maintaining approximately 6% of the deposit market share. With $1.8 billion in assets, the Bank is establishing its position in the market as a local community bank which is large enough to provide a wide range of banking services, yet small enough to deliver personalized service. In order to compete with the other financial services providers in the State of Hawaii, the Bank principally relies upon local promotional activities, personal relationships established by officers, directors and employees with its customers, and specialized services tailored to meet needs of the communities served. The Bank remains competitive with pricing and superior service levels. The Bank also has a strong capital base which can support expansion opportunities that may better serve the community.

    The banking and financial services industry in the State of Hawaii generally, and in the Bank's target market areas, is highly competitive. The increasingly competitive environment is a result primarily of changes in regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems, and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial services providers. The Bank competes for loans, deposits and customers with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, securities and brokerage companies, mortgage companies, insurance companies, finance companies, money market funds, credit unions and other nonbank financial service providers. Many of these competitors are much larger in total assets and capitalization, have greater access to capital markets and offer a broader range of financial services than the Bank. In addition, recent federal legislation may have the effect of further increasing the pace of consolidation within the financial services industry. See " ITEM 1. BUSINESS—Supervision and Regulation—Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ."

Economic Conditions, Government Policies, Legislation and Regulation

    The Company's profitability, like most financial institutions, is primarily dependent on interest rate differentials. In general, the difference between the interest rates paid by the Bank on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and other borrowings, and the interest rates received by the Bank on its interest-earning assets, such as loans extended to its clients and securities held in its investment portfolio, comprise the major portion of the Company's earnings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Company and the Bank, such as inflation, recession and unemployment, and the impact which future changes in domestic and foreign economic conditions might have on the Company and the Bank cannot be predicted.

    The business of the Company is also influenced by the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and the policies of regulatory agencies, particularly the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). The Federal Reserve Board implements national monetary policies (with objectives such as curbing inflation and combating recession) through its open-market operations in U.S. Government securities by adjusting the required level of reserves for depository institutions subject to its reserve requirements, and by varying the target federal funds and discount rates applicable to borrowings by depository institutions. The actions of the Federal Reserve Board in these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates earned on interest-earning assets and paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The nature of and impact on the Company and the Bank of any future changes in monetary and fiscal policies cannot be predicted.

    From time to time, legislative acts, as well as regulations, are enacted and adopted which have the effect of increasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding permissible activities or affecting the competitive balance between banks and other financial services providers. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and taxation of banks, bank holding companies, and other financial institutions and financial services providers are frequently made in the U.S. Congress, in the state legislatures and before various regulatory agencies. See " ITEM 1. BUSINESS—Supervision and Regulation ."

Supervision and Regulation

    General

    Bank holding companies and banks are highly regulated under both federal and state law. The Company is subject to regular examination, supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. The Company's securities are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As such, the Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other requirements and restrictions of the Exchange Act. The Bank, as a Hawaii chartered bank, is subject to primary supervision, periodic examination and regulation by the Hawaii Commissioner of Financial Institutions ("Commissioner") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). To a lesser extent, the Bank is also subject to certain regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. State and federal statutes and regulations relate to many aspects of the Bank's operations, including reserves against deposits, ownership of deposit accounts, interest rates payable on deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions, borrowings, dividends, locations of branch offices and capital requirements. Further, the Bank is required to maintain certain levels of capital. See " ITEM 1. BUSINESS—Supervision and Regulation—Capital Standards." These regulations are intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the deposit insurance fund and not for the benefit of shareholders of the Company. Set forth below is a summary description of the material laws and regulations which relate to the operations of the Company and the Bank. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.

    Bank Holding Company Regulation

    The Company, as a registered bank holding company, is subject to regulation under the BHCA and is required to file quarterly reports and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the BHCA. The Federal Reserve Board may conduct examinations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

    The Federal Reserve Board may require that the Company terminate an activity or terminate control of or liquidate or divest certain subsidiaries or affiliates when the Federal Reserve Board believes the activity or the control of the subsidiary or affiliate constitutes a significant risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any of its banking subsidiaries. The Federal Reserve Board also has the authority to regulate provisions of certain bank holding company debt, including authority to impose interest ceilings and reserve requirements on such debt. Under certain circumstances, the Company must file written notice and obtain approval from the Federal Reserve Board prior to purchasing or redeeming its equity securities.

    It is the Federal Reserve Board's policy that in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should be prepared to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company's failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the Federal Reserve Board to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice, or a violation of the Federal Reserve Board's regulations, or both.

    Under the BHCA and regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve Board, a bank holding company and its nonbanking subsidiaries are prohibited from requiring certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services. Further, the Company is required by the Federal Reserve Board to maintain certain levels of capital. See " ITEM 1. BUSINESS—Supervision and Regulations—Capital Standards ."

    The Company is required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board for the acquisition of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities or substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding company. Prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board is also required for the merger or consolidation of the Company and another bank holding company.

    The Company is prohibited by the BHCA, except in certain statutorily prescribed instances, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiaries. Subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, the Company may engage in any, or acquire shares of companies engaged in, activities that are deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

    Capital Standards

    The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have adopted risk-based minimum capital guidelines intended to provide a measure of capital that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization's operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets and transactions, such as letters of credit and recourse arrangements, which are recorded as off-balance sheet items. Under these guidelines, nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items are multiplied by one of several risk adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for

5


assets with low credit risk, such as certain U.S. Treasury securities, to 100% for assets with relatively high credit risk, such as commercial loans.

    The federal banking agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets of 4%. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal banking regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital to total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio. For a banking organization rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate banking organizations, the minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets must be 3%. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios.

    The following table presents the amounts of regulatory capital and the capital ratios for the Bank, compared to its minimum regulatory capital requirements as of December 31, 2000.

    Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

    The FDIC can take various action, if, as a result of an examination of the Bank, it should determine that the financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of the Bank's operations are unsatisfactory or that the Bank or its management is violating or has violated any law or regulation. The FDIC has the authority to enjoin "unsafe or unsound" practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in capital, to restrict the growth of the Bank, to assess civil monetary penalties, to remove officers and directors, and ultimately to terminate the Bank's deposit insurance, which for a Hawaii chartered bank would result in a revocation of the Bank's charter.

    Prompt Corrective Action and Other Enforcement Mechanisms

    Federal banking agencies possess broad powers to take corrective and other supervisory action to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions, including but not limited to those institutions that fall below one or more prescribed minimum capital ratios. Each federal banking agency has

6


promulgated regulations defining the following five categories in which an insured depository institution will be placed, based on its capital ratios: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. At December 31, 2000, the Bank and the Company exceeded the required ratios for classification as "well capitalized."

    An institution that, based upon its capital levels, is classified as well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized may be treated as though it were in the next lower capital category if the appropriate federal banking agency, after notice and opportunity for hearing, determines that an unsafe or unsound condition or an unsafe or unsound practice warrants such treatment. At each successive lower capital category, an insured depository institution is subject to more restrictions. The federal banking agencies, however, may not treat a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized unless its capital ratios actually warrant such treatment.

    In addition to measures taken under the prompt corrective action provisions, commercial banking organizations may be subject to potential enforcement actions by the federal regulators for unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their businesses or for violations of any law, rule, regulation, or any condition imposed in writing by the agency or any written agreement with the agency.

    Safety and Soundness Standards

    The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines designed to assist the federal banking agencies in identifying and addressing potential safety and soundness concerns before capital becomes impaired. The guidelines set forth operational and managerial standards relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, (ii) loan documentation, (iii) credit underwriting, (iv) asset growth, (v) earnings and (vi) compensation, fees and benefits.

    In addition, the federal banking agencies have also adopted safety and soundness guidelines with respect to asset quality and earnings standards. Under these standards, an insured depository institution should: (i) conduct periodic asset quality reviews to identify problem assets, (ii) estimate the inherent losses in problem assets and establish reserves that are sufficient to absorb estimated losses, (iii) compare problem asset totals to capital, (iv) take appropriate corrective action to resolve problem assets, (v) consider the size and potential risks of material asset concentrations and (vi) provide periodic asset quality reports with adequate information for management and the board of directors to assess the level of asset risk. These guidelines also set forth standards for evaluating and monitoring earnings and for ensuring that earnings are sufficient for the maintenance of adequate capital and reserves.

    Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

    The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, federal legislation which was approved in November 1999, went into effect on March 13, 2000. The general effect of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act is that it established a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and other financial service providers by revising and expanding the BHCA framework to permit a holding company system to engage in a full range of financial activities through a new entity known as a "Financial Holding Company." Generally, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act:

    Repealed historical restrictions on, and eliminated many federal and state law barriers to, affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance companies and other financial service providers;

    Provides a uniform framework for the functional regulation of the activities of banks, savings institutions and their holding companies;

    Broadened the activities that may be conducted by national banks, banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies and their financial subsidiaries;

7


    Provides an enhanced framework for protecting the privacy of consumer information;

    Adopted a number of provisions related to the capitalization, membership, corporate governance and other measures designed to modernize the Federal Home Loan Bank system;

    Modified the laws governing the implementation of the Community Reinvestment Act, and

    Addressed a variety of other legal and regulatory issues affecting both day-to-day operations and long-term activities of financial institutions.

    To become a "Financial Holding Company," the Company would file a declaration with the Federal Reserve Board, electing to engage in activities permissible for Financial Holding Companies and certifying that it is eligible to do so because all of its insured depository institution subsidiaries are well-capitalized and well-managed. See " ITEM 1. BUSINESS—Supervision and Regulations—Capital Standards ." In addition, the Federal Reserve Board must also determine that each insured depository institution subsidiary of the Company has at least a "satisfactory" Community Reinvestment Act rating. See " ITEM 1. BUSINESS—Supervision and Regulations—Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Developments ." The Company currently meets the requirements to make an election to become a Financial Holding Company. Management of the Company has not determined at this time whether it will seek an election to become a Financial Holding Company. The Company is examining its strategic business plan to determine whether, based on market conditions, the relative financial conditions of the Company and its subsidiaries, regulatory capital requirements, general economic conditions, and other factors, the Company desires to utilize any of its expanded powers provided in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

    The Company and the Bank do not believe that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act has nor will have a material adverse effect on their operations in the near-term. However, to the extent that it permits banks, securities firms, and insurance companies to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act is intended to grant to community banks certain powers as a matter of right that larger institutions have accumulated on an ad hoc basis. Nevertheless, it may have the result of increasing the amount of competition that the Company and the Bank face from larger institutions and other types of companies offering financial products, many of which may have substantially more financial resources than the Company and the Bank.

    Bank Dividends

    Dividends from the Bank constitute the principal source of income to the Company. The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The Bank is subject to various statutory and regulatory restrictions on its ability to pay dividends to the Company. Under such restrictions, the amount available for payment of dividends to the Company by the Bank totaled $95.2 million at December 31, 2000. The Commissioner, the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have the authority to prohibit the Bank from paying dividends, depending upon the Bank's financial condition, if such payment is deemed to constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Compliance with the capital standards set forth by the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board or restrictions that are or may be imposed under the prompt corrective action provisions of federal law could limit the amount of dividends which the Bank or the Company may pay. The Commissioner may impose similar limitations on the conduct of Hawaii- chartered banks. See " ITEM 1. BUSINESS—Supervision and Regulation—Capital Standards " and " ITEM 1. BUSINESS—Supervision and Regulation—Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action and Other Enforcement Mechanisms " for further discussion of restrictions on capital distributions.

    Restrictions Upon Affiliate Transactions

    The Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on any extensions of credit to, or the issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on behalf of, the Company or other affiliates, the

8


purchase of, or investments in, stock or other securities thereof, the taking of such securities as collateral for loans, and the purchase of assets of the Company or other affiliates. Such restrictions prevent the Company and such other affiliates from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by marketable obligations of designated amounts. Further, such secured loans and investments by the Bank to or in the Company or to or in any other affiliate are limited, individually, to 10.0% of the Bank's capital and surplus (as defined by federal regulations), and such secured loans and investments are limited, in the aggregate, to 20.0% of the Bank's capital and surplus (as defined by federal regulations). Hawaii law also imposes certain restrictions with respect to transactions involving the Company and other controlling persons of the Bank. Additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates may be imposed on the Bank under the prompt corrective action provisions of federal law. See " ITEM 1. BUSINESS—Supervision and Regulation—Prompt Corrective Action and Other Enforcement Mechanisms ."

9


    Deposit Insurance

    The Bank's deposit accounts are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), as administered by the FDIC, up to the maximum permitted by law. Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the FDIC or the institution's primary regulator. In addition, an insured depository institution is prohibited from paying management fees to any controlling persons or, with certain limited exceptions, making capital distributions if after such transaction the institution would be undercapitalized.

    The FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits, which as of December 31, 2000, ranged from 0 to 27 basis points per $100 of insured deposits, based on the risk a particular institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. The risk classification is based on an institution's capital group and supervisory subgroup assignment. Pursuant to the Economic Growth and Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (the "Paperwork Reduction Act"), at January 1, 1997, the Bank began paying, in addition to its normal deposit insurance premium as a member of the BIF, an amount equal to approximately 1.3 basis points per $100 of insured deposits toward the retirement of the Financing Corporation bonds ("Fico Bonds") issued in the 1980s to assist in the recovery of the savings and loan industry. Members of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), by contrast, pay, in addition to their normal deposit insurance premium, approximately 6.4 basis points. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, the FDIC is not permitted to establish SAIF assessment rates that are lower than comparable BIF assessment rates. Effective January 1, 2000, the rate paid to retire the Fico Bonds was 3 basis points for members of the BIF and the SAIF.

    Interstate Banking and Branching

    The BHCA permits bank holding companies from any state to acquire banks and bank holding companies located in any other state, subject to certain conditions, including certain nationwide- and state-imposed concentration limits. The Bank has the ability, subject to certain restrictions, to acquire by acquisition or merger, branches outside its home state. The establishment of new interstate branches is also possible in those states with laws that expressly permit it. Interstate branches are subject to certain laws of the states in which they are located. Competition may increase further as banks branch across state lines and enter new markets.

    Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Developments

    The Bank is subject to certain fair lending requirements and reporting obligations involving home mortgage lending operations and the Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA") activities. The CRA generally requires the federal banking agencies to evaluate the record of a financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. A bank may be subject to substantial penalties and corrective measures for a violation of certain fair lending laws. The federal banking agencies may take compliance with such laws and the CRA obligations into account when regulating and supervising other activities.

    A bank's compliance with its CRA obligations is based on a performance-based evaluation system which bases the CRA ratings on an institution's lending service and investment performance. When a bank holding company applies for approval to acquire a bank or other bank holding company, the Federal Reserve Board will review the assessment of each subsidiary bank of the applicant bank holding company, and such records may be the basis for denying the application. Based on an examination conducted on July 12, 1999, the Bank was rated Satisfactory in complying with its CRA obligations.

10


Year 2000 Compliance

    The Company successfully operated through year-end 2000 and into year 2001 with no significant problems or disruptions, and the Company will continue to monitor its systems, vendors and customers for potential Year 2000 compliance problems. While the Company has not experienced any adverse impact as a result of Year 2000 compliance problems to date, no assurance can be given that the Year 2000 problem will not have an adverse impact on the Company in the future.

Employees

    At February 28, 2001, the Company employed 550 persons, 467 on a full-time basis and 83 on a part-time basis. Management of the Company believes that it has favorable employee relations. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.

Selected Statistical Information

    The following tables and data set forth, for the respective periods shown, selected statistical information relating to the Company and the Bank. These tables should be read in conjunction with the information contained in " ITEM 6 . SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA ," " ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ," and " ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA ."

    Loan Portfolio

    Total loans increased to $1,291.2 million at December 31, 2000, compared with $1,170.5 million at the end of 1999, and $1,105.9 million at the end of 1998. Increases in loan volumes were recorded in all major loan categories.

    The Bank emphasizes residential and commercial mortgage loans, business loans to professionals and middle-market companies and consumer loans. Its marketing strategy for generating new loans includes a business calling program which requires officers at all levels to make client development visits to local businesses each month. In addition, the Bank uses television, radio, print and direct mail marketing.

    A significant portion of the Bank's loan portfolio is secured by real estate. Management believes that the Bank's underwriting guidelines, including collateral requirements, provide the Bank with protection against losses on delinquent loans. After ten years of little or no growth in the Hawaii economy, there are signs of improved economic activity. Consistent with these trends, delinquencies and charge-offs during 2000 decreased from the previous year. However, as signs of economic slowdown appear for the U.S. economy, Management is cautious in its growth expectation for the local economy in 2001 and a lack of significant improvement or a slowdown in the state's economy is likely to have a negative impact on the Company's growth and levels of nonperforming loans and related loan losses in the future. See " ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses," "Nonperforming Assets " and " Financial Condition ."

    At December 31, 2000, the Bank did not have any concentration of loans in any industry classified under the Standard Industrial Code which exceeded 10% of the Bank's total loans.

    The following table sets forth information regarding outstanding loans by categories as of the dates indicated.

    Commercial, Financial and Agricultural.   Loans in this category consist primarily of loans to small and middle-market businesses and professionals located in Hawaii. The Bank typically looks to the borrower's business as the principal source of repayment, although the Bank's underwriting policy generally requires additional sources of collateral, including real estate. Commercial loan volumes increased in 2000 to $233.5 million at December 31, 2000, from $187.0 million at year-end 1999, which was a slight decrease from the $189.8 million held at year-end 1998.

    Real Estate—Construction.   Real estate—construction loans increased to $72.1 million at year-end 2000, from $45.4 million at the end of 1999, which was a decrease from the prior year-end balance of $61.4 million in 1998. The majority of the construction loans provided by the Bank in this category were used for residential development projects. Each construction project is evaluated for economic viability, and maximum loan-to-value ratios of 80% on commercial projects and 85% on residential projects are generally required.

    Real Estate—Mortgage—Residential.   Residential mortgage loans of $383.4 million at year-end 2000 were comprised primarily of adjustable rate one-to-four family first mortgages. In general, the Bank requires a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80%, although higher levels are permitted with accompanying mortgage insurance. The Bank emphasizes making residential mortgage loans for owner-occupied primary residences and does not actively seek to make loans for vacation condominiums or homes. The Bank has also limited growth of mortgages for high-end residences because of higher volatility in their values. In order to limit such growth and provide for adequate collateral, the Bank requires lower than normal loan-to-value ratios for loans secured by such homes. Mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2000 totaled $1.0 million. Home equity lines of credit of $73.5 million at December 31, 2000, with maximum loan-to-value ratios of 75%, were also included in residential mortgage loans.

    Real Estate—Mortgage—Commercial.   The major components of the Bank's portfolio of commercial mortgage loans at December 31, 2000 included $156.9 million for stores and offices, $254.3 million for warehouses and industrial buildings, and $112.6 million for apartment buildings with 5 or more units.

    The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the composition of the Bank's Real Estate—Mortgage loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.

    Automobile loans, comprised primarily of indirect dealer loans, totaled $22.9 million or 52.4% of the consumer loan portfolio in 2000. This figure includes $22.6 million in indirect automobile loans.

    Credit cards and other revolving credit plans increased to $12.0 million at December 31, 2000, from $8.0 million at year-end 1999.

    Allowance for Loan Losses

    The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential losses on loans and other extensions of credit, including off-balance sheet credit exposures. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based upon management's evaluation of the quality, character and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, current and projected economic conditions and past loan loss experience.

    During 2000, $4.5 million was provided for loan losses compared to $3.7 million in 1999 and $6.6 million in 1998. In 2000, the Bank experienced net charge-offs of $2.7 million, compared with net charge-offs of $3.0 million in 1999 and $5.7 million in 1998. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2000 was $22.6 million, compared to $20.8 million at December 31, 1999 and $20.1 million at December 31, 1998. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.75%, 1.77% and 1.81% at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2000 was adequate to absorb known and inherent risks in the portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that economic conditions which may adversely affect the Bank's service areas or other circumstances, such as material and sustained declines in real estate values, will not result in increased losses in the Bank's loan portfolio. See " ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses " and " Nonperforming Assets ."

    The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Bank's allowance for loan losses as of the dates or for the periods indicated.

    Deposits

    The Bank competes for deposits in Hawaii principally by providing quality customer service at its branch offices. The Bank, over the years, has developed a relatively large and stable base of core deposits which consists of noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand and savings deposits and time deposits under $100,000. However, during 2000, the Bank experienced a decline in core deposits attributable to changing consumer behaviors and increased competition for deposits from other bank and non-bank financial services companies.

    Total deposits at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $1,363.1 million, $1,305.7 million and $1,269.1 million, respectively. Deposits increased by 4.4% in 2000 compared with a 2.9% growth rate in 1999. Interest-bearing deposits, excluding time deposits of $100,000 and over, decreased by 1.2% in 2000 compared with a 1.7% increase in 1999. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by 2.6% in 2000 compared with a 9.6% increase in 1999. The Bank's ratio of core deposits to total deposits was 69.3% at December 31, 2000, compared to 73.4% at year-end 1999 and 72.9% at year-end 1998. Meanwhile, time deposits of $100,000 and over increased steadily during the past several years to $418.4 million at year-end 2000 from $346.9 million at December 31, 1999, and $344.2 million at year-end 1998. See " ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—Financial Condition. "

    The following table sets forth information regarding the average deposits and the average rates paid for certain deposit categories for each of the years indicated. Average balances are computed using daily average balances.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

    All Bank properties, except for the properties in which the Hilo, Kailua-Kona and Moiliili branches and the operations center are situated, are occupied under leases which expire on various dates through 2038, and, in most instances, include options to renew. These leases generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from 5 to 15 years. For the year ended December 31, 2000, net rent expense under these leases aggregated $4.4 million. For additional information relating to lease rental expense and commitments, see Note 17 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2000 Annual Report.

    CPB Properties is a general partner and the managing partner with a 50% interest in CKSS. Other partners in CKSS are Kajima Development Corporation, a general partner, Sumitomo Corporation, a limited partner, and Sumitomo Corporation of America, a limited partner. CKSS was formed to develop, construct and lease a 22-story office building complex in the downtown financial district of Honolulu at the corner of King and Alakea Streets (the "Central Pacific Plaza"). The Company's and the Bank's headquarters are located in the Central Pacific Plaza. The Central Pacific Plaza contains approximately 235,000 square feet of rentable space of which approximately 73,000 square feet are occupied by the Company. CKSS carried the Central Pacific Plaza on its books at a net book value of $23.5 million as of December 31, 2000. To finance the building, CKSS entered into a loan agreement with The Sumitomo Bank, Limited ("Sumitomo") which is secured by a mortgage on the Central Pacific Plaza. The loan agreement, as amended, allows CKSS to borrow up to $12.5 million at 0.75% above LIBOR. As of December 31, 2000, the amount payable to Sumitomo under the loan agreement totaled $6.8 million, due on June 18, 2001.

    In October 1992, CPB Properties, as lessor, entered into a lease agreement with CKSS for certain real property located in Kaimuki, Hawaii, effective from January 1, 1993 to December 31, 2047. Under the terms of the lease, CKSS would develop a 4-story office building (the "Kaimuki Plaza"). In November 1994, the Bank entered a 25-year lease agreement with CKSS to lease office space in the Kaimuki Plaza for its Kaimuki Branch. The lease is effective from November 1, 1994 through October 31, 2019. At December 31, 2000, CKSS carried the Kaimuki Plaza building complex at a net book value of $12.8 million. On April 30, 1993, CKSS entered into a building loan agreement with the Bank to borrow up to $12.2 million at 0.75% above LIBOR to finance the Kaimuki Plaza. At December 31, 2000, the Bank had advanced $8.3 million, due on August 10, 2001, pursuant to this loan agreement.

    At December 31, 2000, an additional $0.1 million was payable to the Bank, at 0.75% above LIBOR, pursuant to a loan agreement secured by second mortgages on the Central Pacific and Kaimuki Plazas, which matures on April 10, 2001. The weighted average interest rate on all loans related to the Company's headquarters and Kaimuki Plaza at December 31, 2000 was 7.018%.

    The Bank holds title to the land and building in which the Hilo and Kailua-Kona branch offices and operations center are situated. CPB Properties holds title to a portion of the land and the building in which the Moiliili branch office is situated.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    The Company is a party to ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business, none of which is considered likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    No matters were submitted to the Company's shareholders for a vote during the fourth quarter of 2000.

Exhibit 10.8

Feb 2000


Central Pacific Bank and Subsidiary
2000 Annual Executive Incentive Plan

Purpose:

    The purpose of this plan is to reinforce the mission and corporate goals of CPB Inc. and Central Pacific Bank (CPB). The plan is designed to help CPB attract, retain and motivate a talented executive team. This team's performance, both as a team and as individuals, contributes directly to serving CPB's customers and communities, sustaining CPB's strong financial performance, and adding value for the shareholders.

Definitions:

    The following terms will have the indicated meanings throughout this document. Whenever appropriate, words used in the singular may include the plural and vice-versa.

    "Plan" will be used throughout as a description of this particular incentive plan.

    "Company" will be used throughout as Central Pacific Bank and its subsidiaries.

    "Compensation Committee" will be used throughout as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

    "CEO" will be used throughout as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of CPB Inc.

    "Participant" will be used throughout as the individual in a given position who is eligible to participate in this Plan.

    "Base salary" will be used throughout as the base salary, excluding any other bonus, commission payments, or other extra cash compensation on an annualized basis, paid to the Participant on the last day of the calendar year. For example, a Participant who is paid a monthly salary of $10,000 as of the last day of the Plan year will have an annualized base salary of $120,000 for purposes of calculating any annual incentive payment.

Administration:

    The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, as ratified by the Board of Directors, who may delegate certain aspects of recordkeeping and administration to specified individuals, at their sole discretion. The Compensation Committee, or its specific delegates, is given full authority to develop such rules, regulations, record keeping procedures, and communications deemed necessary to administer the Plan and interpret its provisions. Any determination, decision, or action of the Compensation Committee (as ratified by the Board of Directors) in connection with this plan will be considered final and binding upon all Participants and any person validly claiming access to a potential award.

    Payment of any award amounts will be made after audited financial statements are made available, but no later than April 1st of the year following the Plan year.

Participation:

    Any full-time active employee of the Company who has been granted the corporate title of Senior Vice President or above (e.g., Executive Vice President, President) is eligible to participate in the plan. The CEO will present annually names, with position responsibility, to the Compensation Committee for approval and inclusion in the Plan. The Board will approve this Participant list no later than January 30 of the Plan year. Participants will be notified in writing no later than February 1 of the Plan year. This


communication will notify Participants of their participation and the target percentages of their incentive.

    To be eligible, the employee must have been placed on full-time active status with the corporate title of Senior Vice President or above, no later than October 1 of the Plan year. Participants becoming eligible after January 1 of the Plan year will be eligible for consideration of payment, pro-rated by the first day of the month on which they met the eligibility requirements. For example, a Participant meeting eligibility requirements on April 1 of the Plan year will be eligible, once approved by the Compensation Committee, for consideration for 9 / 12 or 3 / 4 of the potential award. Any exception to these minimum eligibility requirements must be recommended by the CEO and approved by the Compensation Committee.

    A participant must have received at least an "Accomplished" performance appraisal rating during the calendar year to be eligible for consideration for payment. Any exceptions from this provision must be recommended by the CEO and approved by the Compensation Committee, at their sole discretion.

    All participants in this Plan will become ineligible for participation in any other CPB incentive bonus programs.

Funding:

    The plan will be funded according to the success of CPB as measured by the following (a) Return on Equity (ROE), (b) Return on Assets (ROA) and (c) Efficiency Ratio. All three criteria are standard banking industry performance measurements.

    Each measure will fund the total incentive pool as follows: (a) ROE will fund 50%, (b) ROA will fund 25% and (c) Efficiency Ratio will fund 25%. For each measure, performance below a defined measure will produce no incentive pool; e.g., for 2000 these values are 12.50% for ROE, 1.11% for ROA and 59% for Efficiency Ratio. Each measure will also have a maximum payout percentage; e.g., 150% of the target pool for ROE of 14.50%, 150% of the target pool for ROA of 1.20% and 150% of the target pool for Efficiency Ratio of 55%. The actual amount of the pool funded will be interpolated, using the determined scale values, between the minimum funded value of 25% of the pool and maximum of 150%.

    The target amounts funded are calculated as the sum of each Participant's target incentive, expressed as a percentage of base salary, multiplied by that individual's base salary.

    Total payout to all participants will be limited to twenty (20) percent of the increase in net operating income over the Plan year budget.

    The funding of the pool is described graphically in the attached diagram.

Allocation of Awards:

    The calculation of any actual awards will be based on each Participant's base salary, annualized, as of the last day of the calendar year (e.g., for this Plan, December 31 of Plan year).

    The awards, expressed as a percentage of base salary, are shown, by corporate title, in the following table; e.g., a target incentive of 25% for Senior Vice President. These target awards will be adjusted by the percentage of the target pool that is funded through corporate performance. For example, if 75% of the pool were funded, the target award for Senior Vice Presidents would be 18.75%.

Actual Awards:

    Actual awards will be calculated according to the mix of three performance elements shown in the following table: 1) corporate (ROE, ROA and Efficiency Ratio); 2) unit/production objectives; and 3) a discretionary amount.


    The unit/production objectives will be agreed upon between each Participant and the immediate supervising Officer by January 30 of the Plan year. These objectives will emphasize those aspects of CPB's performance for which the Participant is held accountable. These objectives will be submitted to the CEO for review and thereafter reported to the Board of Directors for its approval and subsequent filing of the report.

    The discretionary percentages will be recommended by the CEO to the Compensation Committee for approval. These percentages and amounts may be used to reward individual or team accomplishments not specifically measured by either corporate financial performance or specific individual objectives.

Termination of Employment:

    The Participant must remain actively employed by the Company on the last day of the designated calendar year to be considered eligible for any potential payment under this Plan. The Compensation Committee, at their sole discretion must approve any exceptions to this provision.

Non-Transferability of Award:

    An award, or potential award, granted under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

No Right to Employment:

    This Plan does not constitute a contract between the Company and its employees. Neither establishing this Plan or taking any action as a result of the Plan shall be construed as giving any employee the right to be retained by the Company for any period of time, or to be employed in any particular position, at any particular rate of pay, or to provide any other job-related benefits.

Amendment or Termination of Plan:

    The Compensation Committee, with ratification from the Board of Directors, may from time to time or at any time amend or terminate the Plan at their sole discretion. Review and amendment of the Plan is expected annually when a new Plan document will be considered for establishment. Amendment or termination of the Plan is not expected within a Plan year, but that right is retained by the Compensation Committee.

EXHIBIT 10.12


CPB INC.
DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

(Effective as of January 1, 2001)


CPB INC.
DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

    Article 1. Purpose . This CPB Inc. Directors Deferred Compensation Plan ("Plan") is intended to advance the interests of CPB Inc. ("Company") by providing deferred compensation benefits to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company and Central Pacific Bank ("Bank") ("Directors") and thereby strengthen the ability of the Company and Bank to attract and retain valued Directors upon whose judgment, initiative, and efforts the successful conduct and development of the Company and Bank depend.

    Article 2. Effective Date . This Plan shall become effective as of January 1, 2001 ("Effective Date"), upon adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company, and shall operate on the basis of the calendar year ("Plan Year").

    Article 3. Eligibility . Any Director entitled to compensation by the Company or the Bank for service as a Director ("Eligible Director"), other than a Director who is also a salaried officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, may elect to become a participant ("Participant") under the Plan by written notice to the Company.

    Article 4. Election of Deferral . Each Participant may elect to defer the receipt of either all or a portion of his or her annual retainer fees or meeting fees which are earned for the Plan Year commencing after the date of the election ("Deferral Election"). The Deferral Election shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as "Exhibit A." The Deferral Election for a Plan Year shall be effective as of the first day of the Plan Year and shall be irrevocable as to the designated fees earned for the Plan Year and, further, such Deferral Election must be dated and filed with the Company prior to the first day of the Plan Year. In the case of an individual who becomes a Director after the Effective Date, such Director may make a Deferral Election within 30 days after becoming a Director, but such Deferral Election shall be effective only with respect to the Director's fees earned after the date the Deferral Election is executed and delivered to the Company. In the case of the first Plan Year beginning on the Effective Date, a Director may make a Deferral Election within 30 days after the adoption and execution of the Plan (or, if later, within 30 days after the Effective Date), but such Deferral Election shall be effective only with respect to the Director's fees earned after the date the Deferral Election is executed and delivered to the Company.

    A Deferral Election for a Participant shall remain effective for each subsequent Plan Year unless the Participant terminates or modifies the Deferral Election. By written notice in the form of a revised Deferral Election delivered to the Company on or before any December 31, any Participant may elect to terminate or modify his or her Deferral Election with respect to fees earned for the next succeeding Plan Year commencing after the December 31. In such event, the amount accumulated pursuant to the Plan prior to the effective date of his or her termination election shall continue to be subject to the provisions of the Plan. A Participant who elects to terminate his or her participation shall be permitted to make a new Deferral Election effective no earlier than the beginning of the Plan Year following the Plan Year for which his or her Deferral Election is terminated.

    Article 5. Deferred Compensation Account . A separate account shall be established and maintained on behalf of each Participant under the Plan ("Account"), which Account shall reflect the balance of the Deferral Election amounts credited to the Participant as provided in Article 4 above. The deferred fees of each Participant shall be credited to the Participant's Account as of the date on which such fees would be otherwise payable to the Participant. Pursuant to its responsibilities as described in Article 15, the Compensation Committee ("Committee") of the Company's Board of Directors shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, records, forms, and methods of accounting which appropriately reflect the balance of the Participant's Account.

    For purposes of determining the value of the Participant's Account, the amount allocated to the Participant's Account shall be treated as if the investment of such amount were subject to the direction of the Participant, except that the Participant's investment options shall be limited to the investment funds offered by the Bank's Trust Division. Each Account shall be appropriately increased or decreased, as the case may be, to reflect the appreciation or depreciation in the value and the net income or loss attributable to the deemed investment, and the distributions and expenses that may be charged to the Account. The Participant agrees on behalf of himself or herself and any designated beneficiary to assume all risks and responsibilities for the value of his or her Account, and the Company shall not be liable for any deemed investment losses that may be incurred under the Account. The deemed investment described in this Article 5 shall be subject to the requirements of Articles 11 and 12 herein and shall be the basis upon which the Participant's Account shall be valued hereunder. The Participant shall have no direct ownership interest whatsoever in any assets representing such deemed investment, notwithstanding that the Company may set aside general funds of the Company in the form of the investment pursuant to Articles 11 and 12 herein. Pursuant to Articles 11 and 12, the Participant's Account is a general unfunded promise to pay, and the deemed investment provided herein serves exclusively as the means to measure the amount of the Participant's benefit.

    Article 6. Vesting. Except as provided in Article 12, a Participant shall have a 100% vested and nonforfeitable interest in the balance of his or her Account.

    Article 7. Distribution Due to Termination . In the event that a Participant terminates as a Director of the Company, the amount credited to the Account of the Participant shall be paid in cash to the Participant in the manner elected by the Participant. However, the Participant is limited to the following distribution options: (a) a single lump sum within ten years following such termination, or (b) annual installments over a period of years not exceeding ten years following such termination. To the extent consistent with these distribution options, the Participant may elect the distribution commencement date and the timing of distributions. Annual installment payments shall be determined by multiplying the Participant's Account by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the number of years remaining in the term. Each Participant shall file with the Company at the time of (and as part of) his or her Deferral Election an election regarding the method of distribution of his or her Account in the event of his or her termination from service as a Director of the Company. A Participant may modify his or her election as to the timing and form of distribution of the Account, except that no modification of distribution election shall be valid (and such distribution election shall be disregarded) to the extent that such modification applies to a distribution made on or before the last day of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which modification is made. That is, a modification to a distribution election may apply only to a distribution occurring after the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the modification is made.

    Article 8. Distribution Due to Death. In the event of the death of an active Participant, or terminated Participant prior to expiration of the period during which his or her Account is payable, the balance of the Participant's Account shall be paid in cash in a single lump sum to his or her designated beneficiary. The Account shall be paid in full as soon as practicable following the Participant's death. The Participant's designated beneficiary shall be designated or changed by the Participant (without the consent of any prior beneficiary) through written notice in substantially the form attached hereto as "Exhibit B" delivered to the Company. If no such beneficiary is designated, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the amount payable due to the Participant's death shall be payable to the Participant's estate.

    Article 9. Withdrawal for Unforeseeable Emergency . Upon application by a Participant and prior to the time that the Participant's Account is otherwise subject to distribution, the Committee may permit the Participant to withdraw all or a portion of the Participant's Account (but only that portion of the Account comprising the Deferral Election amounts, and not earnings credited on such amounts) due to an "Unforeseeable Emergency". For this purpose, an "Unforeseeable Emergency" shall mean a severe

3


financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of a Participant or of a dependent (within the meaning of Section 152(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code")) of the Participant, loss of the Participant's property due to casualty or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant (but specifically not including the education of a dependent or the purchase of a residence). An Unforeseeable Emergency shall not exist if the hardship may be relieved as follows: (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise; (b) by liquidation of the Participant's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship; or (c) by cessation of the Deferral Election under this Agreement. In the event that the Participant obtains a withdrawal of his or her Account due to an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant's then current Deferral Election shall terminate, and the Participant shall not be allowed to commence a subsequent Deferral Election earlier than 12 months following such withdrawal. In no event shall a withdrawal due to an Unforeseeable Emergency exceed the amount required to meet the given emergency plus any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or local taxes reasonably anticipated to result from the withdrawal. The allowance and manner of a withdrawal under this Article 9 shall be subject to the determination and approval of the Committee and shall require the Participant's written request on such forms as the Committee may prescribe.

    Article 10. Incapacity . If the Committee finds that any person to whom payment is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim for such payment has been made by a duly appointed guardian, committee, or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, or a brother or sister, or to any person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to payment.

    Article 11. Funding . The amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, as the Committee may determine, and a Participant shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to investments, if any, which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Title to and beneficial ownership of any such investments shall at all times remain in the Company. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Participant and any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive a payment from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured creditor.

    The Company may, for administrative reasons, establish a "rabbi trust" in order to set aside general funds of the Company for purposes of satisfying Plan obligations. If such a trust arrangement is established, the arrangement shall be consistent with the preceding portion of this Article 11, and the arrangement shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) the establishment and maintenance of the trust shall not cause the Plan to be other than an "unfunded" plan for purposes of the Code, and Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"); (b) the Company shall be treated as the "grantor" of the trust for purposes of Code Section 677; and (c) the trust shall provide that its assets may be used to satisfy claims of the Company's general creditors in the event of insolvency and that the rights of such general creditors in such circumstances are enforceable under federal and state law.

    Article 12. Legal Status . This Plan is intended to constitute a nonqualified deferred compensation plan not subject to the qualification requirements of Code Section 401(a) or ERISA. Specifically, prior to the actual payment of the amounts credited to an Account, there is no transfer of any assets to a Participant or for the benefit of the Participant under this Plan, and the Plan is intended to confer no current benefit that would be immediately taxable to the Participant under the constructive receipt rule or economic benefit doctrine under the tax laws. Further, this Plan is intended to benefit non-employee

4


Directors exclusively, and not employees of the Company, and is thereby not subject to the requirements of ERISA.

    Article 13. Continued Service . Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as conferring upon a Participant the right to continue in the service of the Company as a Director or in any other capacity. Further, nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to create an obligation on the part of the Board to nominate any Director for reelection by the Company stockholders.

    Article 14. Nonassignment . The interests of a Participant hereunder may not be sold, transferred, signed, pledged, or hypothecated. No Participant may borrow against his or her Account.

    Article 15. Administration . The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee shall hold meetings at such times and places as they may determine, shall keep minutes of their meetings, and shall adopt, amend, and revoke such rules and procedures as they may deem proper with respect to the Plan. Any action of the Committee shall be taken in accordance with the rules of governance applicable to the Committee. As may be determined by the Committee, the Committee may carry out its administrative authority and responsibilities under the Plan by designating and authorizing any officer or staff member of the Company or the Bank to act on its behalf.

    Subject to the other provisions of this Plan, and with a view to effecting its purpose, the Committee shall have, in its sole and absolute discretion, the authority: (a) to construe and interpret the Plan; (b) to define the terms used herein; (c) to determine the value of an Account and the amount and recipient of any payment; and (d) to make all other determinations and do all other things necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions, determinations, and interpretations made by the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on all Participants in the Plan and on their legal representatives, heirs, and beneficiaries.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan (and without limiting the Committee's authority), in connection with any action concerning stock transactions by Directors who are subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") ("Insiders"), the Committee may adopt such procedures as it deems necessary or desirable to assure the availability of exemptions from Section 16 of the Exchange Act afforded by Rule 16b-3 thereunder or any successor rule. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with approval of any transaction by an Insider involving an acquisition from the Company, or involving the disposition to the Company, of an interest in common stock of the Company, the Committee may delegate its approval authority to a subcommittee thereof comprised of two or more "Non-Employee Directors" (as defined in Rule 16b-3), or take action by the affirmative vote of two or more Non-Employee Directors (with all other members of the Committee abstaining or recusing themselves from participating in the matter), or refer the matter to the full Board of Directors for action.

    Article 16. Amendment and Termination . The Plan may, at any time or from time to time, be amended, modified, or terminated at the sole and complete discretion of the Board of Directors. However, no amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect such Participant's rights with respect to amounts then accrued in his or her Account.

    Article 17. Rule 16b-3 Requirements . With respect to Insiders, stock transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act (except to the extent that noncompliance of a particular transaction would not result in liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or the rules adopted thereunder). To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

    Article 18. Tax Withholding . The payment of any amount under this Plan shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of tax withholding, or other withholding liabilities under state or federal law.

5


    Section 19. Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Company's Board of Directors, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company's approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

    Section 20. Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to any Account hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

    Article 21. Enforceability and Controlling Law. If any provision of this Plan is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The provisions of this Plan shall be construed, administered, and enforced according to the laws of the State of Hawaii.

    Article 22. Gender. Wherever any words are used under the Plan in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, they shall be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases where they would so apply.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be executed by its duly authorized officers on this 18th day of December, 2000.

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS

Aloha, Fellow Stakeholders

    We are pleased to report that CPB Inc. and its subsidiary, Central Pacific Bank, recorded its second consecutive year of record earnings in 2000. This achievement is particularly satisfying since we have been working very hard over the past several years to reorganize and refocus our Bank to better help our customers. We have taken to heart the challenge of providing our customers with the kinds of financial information and services they need today to make their business and personal financial goals more attainable. In essence, we are contributing to the further development of our community at large. By so doing, we will continue to grow as Hawaii's premier, full-service financial provider.

    To fulfill this mission, we had to change. Since launching our strategic plan in 1999, we have reported to you the step-by-step innovations we have made to transform and refocus our Bank. Among these changes, we streamlined our operations and redefined positions to focus on service and sales. We centralized operations, consolidated overlapping functions and outsourced time-consuming support functions. Resources were reallocated to our frontline, customer contact points. Combined with the creation of dedicated personal banking, business and corporate relationship officers, we are now able to further enhance our customer relations through greater personalized service. Two of CPB's customer-friendly innovations—the Customer Service Center and Business Client Service Center—also add to our ability to provide quick and convenient response to our customers' personal or business needs.

    Through these and other initiatives, our goal is to develop meaningful, personal financial relationships with our customers. Only by staying connected with our customers will we be able to understand their needs and provide them with solutions in achieving the financial security that they work so hard to attain.

    To bring about an expanded line of products, we partnered with companies best able to provide our customers with a complete mix of premium financial products and services. As an example, in partnering with one of the nation's largest brokers, our Bank now offers customers a wide range of investment and life insurance alternatives, meeting an ever-growing demand for such financial planning services.

    In the process of improving and expanding our range of products and services, we have also created a more efficient operation through the use of advanced technology. This includes the integration and upgrading of our computer systems and working with key service providers to insure delivery of cost-effective, state-of-the-art products and services, such as consumer and merchant credit card services, expanded automated teller machine (ATM) network and services, and Internet banking.

    At times, implementing such significant changes has proven to be quite challenging. Thanks to the commitment and hard work of our management team and our employees, we have successfully completed the major portion of our reorganization plan. Our Bank's continued strong performance through this reorganization process indicates that we are doing the right thing.

    In the year 2000 following continued efforts to improve asset quality and reduce expenses, our Company's return on equity (ROE) increased from 11.0 to 13.6. The combined strength of our earnings, and our ability to buy back our shares of common stock and reduce the number of shares outstanding has benefited our shareholders. It also resulted in our Bank's employees becoming the largest shareholder in our Company. With this added incentive for our employees—combined with the internal and infrastructure improvements now in place—we are optimistic about the years to come.

    Indeed, we believe that CPB is poised to move forward with its new combination of people, systems and organizational structure to provide the right solutions to meet our customers' financial needs. By working together, we can strive to build more prosperous businesses and create broader opportunities for people and their families in Hawaii.

    At CPB, helping Hawaii businesses succeed is one of our most important priorities in our overall strategy. Because we improved our technological and organizational infrastructure and invested in our people, our corporate and business relationship officers are well positioned to help large and small businesses achieve their financial goals.

    As a community bank, our fate is tied directly to the health of the community we serve. Understanding this, CPB is committed to investing in Hawaii-based businesses that help to energize our local economy.

    Construction activity serves as one of the leading indicators of a healthy economy, and CPB understands that financing holds the key in supporting Hawaii's construction industry. At CPB, our loan programs are heavily committed to building projects that directly benefit our island economy. In supporting quality construction projects, our Bank in turn serves to stimulate additional business ventures.

    Large ventures such as The Shops at Wailea, for example, play an important role in our state's economic well-being by providing new employment and entrepreneurial opportunities, as well as adding to Hawaii's distinction as a premier retail destination worldwide. We also appreciate the role that small businesses play in our modern island economy. As an example, we are supporting the development of the Pacific Gateway Center incubator kitchen project, designed to provide the necessary facilities for individuals to create new food products and startup businesses. In nurturing this entrepreneurial spirit, we work to build stronger communities.

    Whether a business is large or small, efficiency, cost-management and productivity are vital to its survival and long-term success. Providing solutions to these real-life issues continues to drive CPB's reorganization.

    For larger businesses, our newly established Business Client Service Center serves as a one-stop resource from installing specialized computer software allowing for business-to-business transactions to tracking and resolving account inquiries. Ultimately, these quality services result in extra time for our clients to operate their business.

    Smaller businesses can now utilize CPB Business Advantage, the only program of its kind in Hawaii. To save small business owners money on common services and products, we partner with national and local suppliers and service providers to receive valuable benefits and discounts. CPB Business Advantage members enjoy substantial savings on travel, including airfare, hotel accommodation and car rental, purchases with extended warranty, business property and casualty insurance, and equipment leasing. This year, we added valuable local companies to our already extensive list of CPB Business Advantage partners that offer discounts on high-speed Internet services, wireless communications services, outsourced employment services, courier services and office products.

    In addition to these valuable programs, CPB kicked-off 2000 by becoming the first bank in Hawaii to offer Internet banking to both businesses and consumers. Through CPBInternet for Business and CPBInternet banking services, our customers can bank anywhere, anytime, and have immediate access to their finances. These new services underscore CPB's commitment to meet the changing needs of customers by putting banking convenience right at their fingertips.

    CPB's Internet services can help customers better manage their money. They can access their loan and deposit account information whenever they want, enabling them to make timely and cost-saving decisions. Through CPBInternet for Business' user-friendly screens and support services, business owners can quickly and easily pay bills, transfer funds, make payroll direct deposits, originate electronic funds tax payments (EFTPS), and initiate check stop payment requests and other cash management features.

    By connecting directly with Hawaii's business owners through our corporate and business relationship officers, CPB can best tailor its products and programs to provide for the convenience, efficiency, time- and cost-saving solutions they need and want most to prosper in our fast-paced, ever-changing world.

    In order to enhance the changing lifestyles of our consumers, CPB has had to work smarter to deliver new conveniences in a timely, yet secure manner. Making it easier and quicker for customers to seek answers to questions or problems, we established a one-stop Customer Service Center with highly trained customer service representatives. Personal banking officers and financial service officers at the branches ensure that we maintain a high level of service quality in helping consumers achieve their financial goals, a worthy mission that will not only benefit our customers and our Bank, but will contribute to the well-being of our community as a whole.

    Although many people do not feel comfortable investing directly in the stock market, everyone wants to earn the best possible return on their dollar. Whether the goal is to fund their children's education, lay out a roadmap to a comfortable retirement, or merely maximize the value of their hard-earned money, people are looking to invest with institutions they can trust.

LOGO

    In April, our Bank rolled out its much-anticipated investment program to which the response has been very positive. The establishment of our financial planning program and our strategic alliance with Financial Network Investment Corporation (FNIC) offers customers a wide range of investment and life insurance alternatives. FNIC, one of the leading national investment brokers, was selected for its financial strength, industry reputation and technological resources. This new program complements our existing financial planning services offered through our Trust and Investment Management Division. Our experienced trust and investment officers provide a broad range of services such as investment management, estate planning, and administering of trusts and probates. Now, with the personalized service of qualified relationship bankers and the expertise of licensed financial advisors, our Bank's investment services can meet the simplest to the most complex financial planning needs of our customers.

    By partnering with top-rated companies like FNIC, we are able to offer a wide range of products and services that are both high quality and price competitive. In the case of our Internet services, CPB partnered with Digital Insight (formerly nFront), which was awarded "Best Internet Banking Solution" by Microsoft and was accorded the exclusive endorsement for Internet banking by the American Bankers Association. This means CPB customers can feel confident knowing they will be using one of the best Internet banking programs in the country.

    Similarly, CPB's partnership with Concord EFS, one of the leading ATM processors in the nation, will allow our Bank to offer numerous new features in the near future, such as gift certificates and check cashing. For the added convenience of our customers, we've expanded our network of ATMs via our partnership with Tesoro—one of the largest gasoline retailers in Hawaii—installing an additional 17 ATMs in its gas station convenience stores.

    CPB's partnerships with MBNA bank card services to handle our credit card customers, and with Nova Information Systems to service our merchant credit card customers, have provided significant economies of scale. The net result of these partnerships to our customers is access to modernized conveniences and services, backed by the most innovative and reputable providers of banking services in the country, all available through the careful management and solid local reputation of CPB.

    Founded by local business and community leaders some 47 years ago, CPB understands its home. Moreover, we appreciate and respond to the role that we play in relation to the multitude of diverse parts that make Hawaii special. In this regard, CPB proudly supports a wide range of community reinvestment events and programs that help to make this a better place to live while contributing to Hawaii's economy.

    The Hawaii Women's Business Center became the first organization in the state focused on helping women to develop and grow successful businesses. In 1998, CPB was one of the founding funders of this unique organization. Today, women-owned businesses in Hawaii are ranked third in the nation. The Center is one of 25 facilities around the country to receive a five-year U.S. Small Business Administration grant, allowing for continued service to meet this growing demand.

    Through two endowment funds, CPB continues to develop our communities and future leaders. The CPB Community Endowment Fund provides grants for charitable programs and projects whose primary purpose is geared to community development within targeted areas. CPB's University of Hawaii Endowment Fund awards scholarships to athletes majoring in business and assists financially disadvantaged athletes in realizing their dreams.

    University of Hawaii sports and sports in general provide a key engine fueling Hawaii's economy. Major sporting events such as the Sony Open in Hawaii and football bowl games help to spotlight the beautiful climate and active lifestyles to audiences worldwide.

    CPB also appreciates Hawaii's cultural diversity that makes this place so special. CPB supports a variety of cultural and educational organizations and contributes significantly to many economic development organizations in Hawaii, such as the different ethnic Chambers of Commerce, which play a vital role in strengthening our economic base. CPB is proud to support these groups through active membership participation and project and program sponsorships, all with the intention of fostering growth through community reinvestment.

    We at CPB have chosen to embrace the myriad of changes that have impacted our financial services industry and our economic landscape as an opportunity to adapt, grow and improve our Company and our Bank. Through bold, yet studied management, we are continually striving to prepare ourselves to handle our customers' changing lifestyles and financial needs.

    CPB's management team collectively vowed not to use a sluggish economy as an excuse for less than optimum performance. Instead, we directed all energies into seeking new opportunities to provide for our Bank's continued growth and stability. With "responsiveness" as a keyword, we worked quickly and cooperatively to retool our systems, technology, infrastructure and staff to respond to our customers and their financial success.

    As we now turn our focus to securing and developing the human resources we need to fully maximize the foundation we have set, we commit to providing our dedicated employees with training opportunities so they may continue to offer our customers the highest level of service. Well within the targets we had set for ourselves in our strategic plan, we continue to aim high in serving our customers, our communities and our shareholders. As we assess our progress for the year 2000, we believe we have demonstrated that we have the energy, the knowledge and the commitment. In better connecting with our customers and our ability to adapt to change, we are poised to maintain our service advantage.

    Thank you for your continuing support of CPB.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

    CPB Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Central Pacific Bank (the "Bank"), recorded a second consecutive year of record earnings in 2000. An increase in net interest income and lower operating expenses contributed to the year's performance. Assets, including loans, also reached new highs, as the amount of nonperforming assets continued its downward trend of the last three years. The Company's stock repurchase program, which began in 1998, enhanced earnings per share growth, while capital was maintained above well-capitalized levels. The Company sold its merchant services portfolio and closed two branches during the year as part of its three-year strategic plan to increase profitability and efficiency.

    Net income reached $19.4 million in 2000, increasing by 19.0% over $16.3 million earned in 1999, which increased by 8.3% over $15.1 million earned in 1998. Diluted earnings per share of $2.14 in 2000 increased by 27.4% over $1.68 earned in 1999, which increased by 15.9% over $1.45 earned in 1998. Cash dividends per share of $0.61 in 2000 increased by 10.9% over $0.55 declared in 1999, which increased by 5.8% over $0.52 declared in 1998. Return on average assets improved to 1.16% in 2000 compared to 1.03% in 1999 and 1.00% in 1998. Return on average stockholders' equity increased to 13.55% in 2000 compared to 10.93% in 1999 and 9.79% in 1998.

    The Company's performance in 2000 resulted in its sixth consecutive year of earnings increase, operating in the state of Hawaii's economy, which experienced difficulties during most of the last decade. However, modest growth in the state's economy was experienced during the last three years. Tourism, the state's primary industry, continued to increase as measured by visitor arrivals. Real estate activity also increased, with higher average resale prices, while construction activity also increased during 2000. The state's unemployment rate dropped below 4% during the fourth quarter of 2000.

    Total assets of $1.82 billion at year-end 2000 increased by 10.4% over year-end 1999. Loans of $1.29 billion increased by 10.3% and investment securities of $385 million increased by 19.6% over the year. Deposits of $1.36 billion increased by 4.4% mainly due to growth in time deposits. Demand, savings and money market deposits decreased during the year due to movement of customer deposits to higher yielding time deposits and competitive factors. Consequently, long-term debt of $221 million more than doubled from the previous year-end balance of $98 million to supplement the funding of asset growth. Stockholders' equity of $143 million decreased by 0.5% due to the Company's stock repurchase program, which is discussed in the Capital Resources section of this Management's Discussion.

    As signs of economic slowdown appear for the U. S. economy, Management is cautious in its growth expectations for the local economy in 2001. Lack of significant improvement in the state's economy is likely to continue to have a negative impact on the Company's growth and levels of nonperforming loans and related loan losses.

Forward-Looking Statements

    Certain matters discussed in this Annual Report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, net interest income, net interest margin, the levels of nonperforming loans, loan losses and the allowance for loan losses, partnership income and liquidity that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause the results to differ from those discussed in this report include, but are not limited to, general business conditions in the state of Hawaii, the real estate market in Hawaii, competitive conditions among financial institutions, regulatory changes in the financial services industry, differences between actual and estimated market rates or

    Net interest income in 2000 increased by $2.8 million or 4.0% over 1999, which increased by $3.7 million or 5.6% over 1998. The increases were mainly due to growth in volume of interest earning assets during the last two years. Changes in interest rates had a material impact on both interest income and interest expense. The net effect, however, had a smaller impact on net interest income.

    Interest income in 2000 increased by 12.2% over 1999 due to growth in volume and higher yields on loans and investment securities. Average volume of interest earning assets of $1.58 billion increased by 5.6% and the related yield of 8.11% increased by 47 basis points over 1999. Average loans outstanding in 2000 increased by 6.1% and average investment securities by 11.4% over the previous year. The decrease in average interest-bearing deposits in other banks in 2000 was due to growth in other asset categories.

    Interest income in 1999 increased by 1.3% over 1998 primarily impacted by a decrease in yield on interest earning assets. Average volume of interest earning assets increased by 5.1%, while the related yield decreased by 29 basis points compared to 1998. Yields reflected movements in the general level of the interest rates during the last three years.

    Interest expense in 2000 increased by 25.1% over 1999 due to growth in volume and effective rates paid on time deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Effective rates on core deposits, defined as total deposits excluding time deposits $100,000 and over, remained relatively unchanged. Average interest-bearing liabilities in 2000 of $1.32 billion increased by 6.6% and the effective rate on those funds was 4.21%. Average time deposits in 2000 increased by 13.1%, average short-term borrowings increased by 55.8% and average long-term debt increased by 17.5%. The increase in these purchased funding categories in 2000 totaled $80.9 million and provided funding for asset growth as savings and money market deposits decreased by 8.1%. The effective rate on interest-bearing liabilities in 2000 was materially affected by movements in the general level of interest rates as well as the aggregate decrease in lower cost demand, savings and money market accounts compared to 1999. Management has placed a major emphasis on core deposits for 2001. Financial targets, marketing programs and employee incentives have been aligned accordingly. Management expects to decrease reliance on large certificates of deposit and long-term debt as the primary incremental sources of future asset growth.

13


    Interest expense in 1999 decreased by 4.9% from 1998 primarily due to a decrease in the effective rate on interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased by 39 basis points. Average total interest-bearing liabilities increased by 5.6% compared to 1998.

    As a result, net interest margin in 2000 decreased to 4.60% from 4.67% in 1999 and 4.65% in 1998. The ratio has been relatively stable during the last three years. The decline of net interest margin in 2000 reflected lack of growth in core deposits and this ratio will continue to be under pressure to the extent that core deposits do not increase in the future.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

    Provision for loan losses ("Provision") is determined by Management's ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio and their assessment of the ability of the allowance for loan losses ("Allowance") to cover inherent losses. The Company's methodology for determining the adequacy of the Allowance and the Provision takes into account many factors, including the level and trend of nonperforming and potential problem loans, net charge-off experience, current repayment by borrowers, fair value of collateral securing specific loans and general economic factors in Hawaii. The Company's Provision was $4.5 million, $3.7 million and $6.6 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Net loan charge-offs decreased to $2.7 million compared to $3.0 million in 1999 and $5.7 million in 1998, or when expressed as a percentage of average loans, decreased to 0.22% from 0.26% in 1999 and 0.53% in 1998. In 2000, partial charge-offs on two loans secured by commercial properties accounted for $1.9 million of total charge-offs with business and residential mortgage loans comprising the balance of the charge-offs. Recoveries totaling $503,000 from two commercial loans accounted for over one-half of total recoveries of $936,000. The Allowance expressed as a percentage of loans was 1.75% at December 31, 2000 compared to 1.77% and 1.81% at the previous two year-ends. In Management's judgment, the Allowance at year-end 2000 was adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

    Uncertain economic conditions in the state of Hawaii may adversely affect borrowers' ability to repay, value of collateral and consequently the level of nonperforming loans, net charge-offs, provision for loan losses and net income.

    Total nonperforming assets, accruing loans delinquent for 90 days or more and restructured loans still accruing interest decreased to $12.3 million at December 31, 2000 from $15.2 million a year ago. Nonaccrual loans of $8.5 million decreased from $9.7 million during that period due to loan payoffs and partial charge-off of a mortgage loan, offset by a $3.1 million loan secured by commercial real estate which was placed on nonaccrual status during the year. Problems with residential mortgage loans still persist, however, a more active real estate market in Hawaii helped mitigate losses. Other real estate of $1.8 million increased from $1.4 million held a year ago. Nine properties were held at year-end 2000, comprised of one commercial property and eight residential properties. Loans

15


delinquent for 90 days or more decreased to $1.5 million from $3.6 million a year ago and was comprised of seven loans at year-end 2000. One-half of the delinquency balance was attributed to a mortgage loan secured by commercial property with the balance comprised of residential mortgage loans. A restructured loan still accruing interest of $466,000, secured by commercial property, was held at December 31, 2000 compared to $500,000 held a year ago. Although nonperforming loans decreased during 2000, provision for loan losses increased over 1999 due to an increase in loans outstanding. The Allowance expressed as a percentage of loans at year-end 2000 declined from year-end 1999. Accounting for nonperforming assets is discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements on pages 26 and 27 of this Annual Report.

    Other operating income of $12.7 million in 2000 was virtually unchanged from 1999. Sale of the Company's merchant services portfolio in 2000 generated a nonrecurring gain of $1.85 million. The related effect of this sale was the reduction of $2.9 million in merchant servicing fees in 2000 compared to 1999. Investment securities losses of $766,000 compared to losses of $250,000 realized in the previous year through sales of selected holdings. Sales and subsequent purchases of investment securities during 2000 increased the average maturity of the investment securities portfolio which decreased the asset sensitivity of the Bank's balance sheet as the general level of interest rates appeared to stabilize. See Asset/Liability Management section on pages 17 and 18 of this Annual Report for a general discussion on this topic. Income from fiduciary activities increased by $287,000 or 36.2% over 1999.

    Other operating income in 1999 decreased by $4.2 million or 24.9% from 1998 due to a nonrecurring gain of $4.6 million recognized from the sale of the Company's credit card portfolio in 1998. Service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges and fees increased by 5.6% over 1998. Income from fiduciary activities increased by 23.0% and investment securities losses of $250,000 were realized in 1999 compared to $254,000 in gains in 1998. Income from bank-owned life insurance accounted for the balance of the increase in other income in 1999 over 1998.

    Total other operating income, expressed as a percentage of average assets, was 0.76% in 2000, 0.80% in 1999 and 1.12% in 1998. Excluding the gain from sale of the credit card portfolio, the 1998 percentage was 0.81%

    Other operating expense of $49.6 million in 2000 decreased by $3.9 million or 7.2% compared to 1999. Salaries and employee benefits in 2000 decreased by $2.9 million or 10.4% from 1999. The decrease was mainly attributable to a 6.3% reduction in the number of full-time equivalent employees, reduction in contribution to profit sharing and employee ownership plans from 10% to 5% of defined net income and reversal in 2000 of $600,000 in restructuring charges from the $1.6 million accrued in 1999. This reversal was due to revised estimates of severance payments in connection with staff downsizing occurring through 2000. Of the original 76 positions being eliminated, approximately one-third of the employees impacted were retained to fill new positions and vacancies created by attrition. The $1.6 million accrual in 1999 provided for expenses related to the closing of three branches in 1999 and 2000, sale of the Bank's merchant services portfolio and other programs to enhance efficiency. Profit sharing contributions decreased by $800,000 to $1.3 million due to reduction in plan benefits. Contributions to the Company's 401(k) plan increased by $318,000 due to an increase in Company matching of employee contributions. The number of full-time equivalent employees at year-end 2000 decreased to 504 from 540 and 587 employees at the end of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The reduction in staff during the last two years was a result of the sale of the Company's credit card and merchant services portfolios, closing of three branches and the successful completion of programs to enhance operating efficiencies. The increase in salaries and employee benefits in 1999 was mainly due to the aforementioned $1.6 million in restructuring charges.

    Net occupancy expense of $6.4 million in 2000 increased by 2.7% over 1999 and equipment expense of $2.7 million was lower than both 1999 and 1998. A reduction in the number of employees and elimination of operating expenses related to the sale of the Bank's merchant services portfolio impacted these expenses. Other expense of $15.5 million decreased by $1.1 million or 6.6% in 2000 over 1999, mainly due to a reduction of $3.6 million in interchange and other expenses related to merchant services and a settlement fee with the entity, which provided processing of merchant services. Nonrecurring expenses of $450,000 recognized in 2000 representing lease termination charges and writedown of equipment related to branch closures offset the abovementioned reduction. Legal, audit and professional fees of $2.8 million increased by $977,000 or 54.7% in 2000 over 1999 mainly due to consulting fees on strategic planning projects and income tax strategies. The increase in other expense in 1999 over 1998 was mainly due to a $746,000 or 27.7% increase in expenses related to merchant and bank card services.

    Total other operating expense as a percentage of average assets was 2.96% in 2000, 3.37% in 1999 and 3.40% in 1998.

17


Income Taxes

    Income tax expense totaled $10.6 million in 2000, $8.1 million in 1999 and $9.0 million in 1998. The effective tax rate was 35.3% in 2000, 33.0% in 1999 and 37.3% in 1998. Accrual adjustments recorded in 1999 and investment in bank-owned life insurance accounted for the lower effective tax rate for that year.

    Average total assets of $1.67 billion increased by $86 million or 5.4% in 2000 over 1999, which increased by $79 million or 5.3% over 1998. Loans and investment securities increased in 2000 as average core deposits, increased only slightly over 1999. This growth in interest earning assets required funding from time deposits $100,000 and over, and short- and long-term borrowings.

18


    Average loans of $1.22 billion increased by 6.1% in 2000 over 1999, which increased by 7.7% over 1998. Loans as a proportion of total assets of 73.1% in 2000 increased over the last three years. Average investment securities of $352 million increased by 11.4% over 1999, which decreased by 6.5% from 1998. Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased to $5 million compared to $27 million in 1999 and $15 million in 1998.

    Average total deposits of $1.32 billion increased by 3.4% in 2000 over 1999, which increased by 6.1% over 1998. Average core deposits of $934 million increased by 1.0% over 1999, which increased by 6.1% over 1998. Average time deposits $100,000 and over of $383 million increased by 11.9% in 2000 over 1999, which increased by 6.0% over 1998. Average short-term borrowings and long-term debt totaling $191 million increased by 26.8% in 2000 over 1999, which increased by 6.3% over 1998.

    Loans at year-end 2000 of $1.29 billion increased by $121 million or 10.3% over year-end 1999. Commercial mortgage loans of $560 million increased by $32 million or 6.0%, real estate construction loans of $73 million increased by $27 million or 58.7% and commercial, financial and agricultural loans increased by $47 million or 24.8%.

    The slowdown in growth of core deposits adversely affected net interest margin and ratios related to funding trends during 2000. The ratio of average loans to core deposits as an indicator of funding trends was 131% in 2000, increasing from 125% in 1999 and 123% in 1998. Management views this as an adverse trend and is taking steps to improve this ratio through greater emphasis on core deposit growth and enhancing core relationships with loan customers.

    Average stockholders' equity as a percentage of total assets decreased to 8.6% from 9.4% in 1999 and 10.2% in 1998, as capital levels remained within Management's targets.

Asset/Liability Management

    The Company's earnings and capital are subject to risk of interest rate fluctuations to the extent the rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities mature or reprice during different periods or in differing amounts. Asset/liability management attempts to coordinate the Company's rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities to meet its financial objectives.

    The Company's asset/liability management policy is to maximize risk-adjusted return to shareholders while maintaining consistently acceptable levels of liquidity, interest rate risk and capitalization. The Company's asset/liability management committee monitors its interest rate risk through the use of income simulation and rate shock analyses. This process is designed to measure the impact of future changes in interest rates on net interest margin and market value of portfolio equity. Adverse exposures are managed through the shortening or lengthening of the duration of the Company's assets or liabilities.

    Table 7 sets forth information concerning interest rate sensitivity of the Company's assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity at December 31, 2000. The assumptions used in determining interest rate sensitivity of various asset and liability products had a significant impact on the resulting table. For purposes of this presentation, assets and liabilities are classified by the earliest re-pricing date or maturity. All interest-bearing demand and savings balances are included in the three months or less category, even though re-pricing of these accounts is not contractually required and may not actually occur during that period.

    As shown in Table 7, the amount of liabilities being re-priced exceeds the amount of assets in the three months or less through over six through twelve months categories. In the remaining time periods, re-pricing assets exceed re-pricing liabilities. Generally, where rate-sensitive liabilities exceed rate-sensitive assets in the short-term, net interest margin is expected to be negatively impacted when interest rates increase and positively impacted when interest rates decrease.

Capital Resources

    The Company's objective is to maintain a level of capital that will support sustained asset growth and anticipated credit risks and to ensure that regulatory guidelines and industry standards are met.

    Regulations on capital adequacy guidelines adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") are as follows. In 1989, a risk-based capital framework was adopted consisting of capital comprised of a core capital component (Tier I), essentially common stockholders' equity, less intangible assets, and a supplemental component (Tier II), which includes the allowance for loan losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, and a system for assigning assets and off-balance sheet items to one of four risk-weighted categories. The capital standards require a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.00% and total risk-based capital ratio (Tier I plus Tier II) of 8.00%. The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have also adopted a 3.00% minimum leverage ratio which is Tier I capital as a percentage of total assets. Higher-risk banks as measured by the Federal regulatory rating system are expected to maintain capital above the minimum leverage ratio requirement.

    In addition, effective December 19, 1992, FDIC-insured institutions such as the Bank must maintain leverage capital ratio and Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively, to be considered "well capitalized" under the prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991.

    During 2000, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase and retirement of CPB Inc. common stock for a total consideration of $25 million, in addition to authorizations of $12 million in 1999 and $20 million in 1998. During 2000, 840,579 shares were repurchased for a total consideration of $20.9 million at an average price of $24.82 per share. For the three years ended December 31, 2000, the Company had repurchased 2,207,127 shares for a total consideration of $47.4 million at an average price of $21.46 per share, or approximately 20.8% of the 10.6 million shares outstanding prior to the initial repurchase transaction. The authorized remaining amount of repurchases was $9.6 million at December 31, 2000. Management expects to continue repurchases to enhance shareholder value based on the rate of the Company's future asset growth and ability to maintain well-capitalized levels of regulatory capital ratio.

    Capital levels for the Company and the Bank were in excess of minimum regulatory required levels at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The relatively low rate of asset growth in the last three years and increasing earnings contributed towards the excess.

Liquidity

    The Company's objective in managing its liquidity is to maintain a balance between sources and ses of funds in order to economically meet the cash requirements of customers for loans and deposit withdrawals and participate in investment opportunities as they arise. Management monitors the Company's liquidity position in relation to trends of loan demand and deposit growth on a daily basis to assure maximum utilization and maintenance of an adequate level of readily marketable assets and access to short-term funding sources.

    The consolidated statements of cash flows identify three major sources and uses of cash as operating, investing and financing activities. Cash generated from operations represents a major source of liquidity. As presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows on page 25 of this Annual Report, the Company's operating activities provided cash totaling $37 million, $13 million and $27 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in 2000 over 1999 was due to fluctuations in other assets from bank-owned life insurance purchased in 1999 and other liabilities which increased in 1999 due to deferred income tax expense.

    Investing activities represent a use of cash. Net cash used in investing activities was $200 million in 2000, $49 million in 1999 and $78 million in 1998. The large increase in 2000 was due to increase in loans and investment securities. Cash used in net loan originations over principal repayments was $129 million in 2000, $74 million in 1999 and $70 million in 1998. Activities from investment securities

21


and interest-bearing deposits in other banks used cash of $54 million in 2000 and $5 million in 1998 and provided cash of $26 million in 1999.

    In addition to cash flows from operating activities, financing activities generally provide funding for growth in loans and investment securities with increased deposits supplemented by the Company's borrowing sources, which include short-term sources such as Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short- and long-term Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle advances.

    Deposits increased by $57 million in 2000, $37 million in 1999 and $76 million in 1998. The Company's total borrowings provided cash of $100 million in 2000 and $57 million in 1999 and used cash of $14 million in 1998. The increase in total borrowings in 2000 was due to the higher growth in loans and investment securities compared to deposit growth. The Company's loan to deposit ratio was 94.7% and 89.6% at year-end 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net cash used for repurchases of the Company's common stock was $21 million in 2000, $12 million in 1999 and $15 million in 1998. Accordingly, net cash provided by financing activities was $132 million in 2000, $77 million in 1999 and $43 million in 1998.

    The primary uses of funds, as reflected in the Company's parent company condensed statements of cash flows, were for the abovementioned repurchase of CPB Inc. common stock and $5.3 million, $5.2 million and $5.4 million for payment of dividends to shareholders in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's primary source of funds was dividends received from the Bank. As presented in note 27 to the consolidated financial statements on page 44 of this Annual Report, the Bank's retained earnings, as defined, is the maximum amount permitted to be distributed as a dividend without prior regulatory approvals. At December 31, 2000, retained earnings of the Bank was $95 million.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

    During 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statements on financial accounting standards which are discussed in note 28 to the consolidated financial statements on page 46 of this Annual Report. The statements are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    In the normal course of its business, the Company is exposed to market risk, primarily in the form of interest rate risk. Economic impact of interest rate risk may occur as interest rates change resulting in gains or losses in future net interest income, cash flows, or current fair market value. The Company utilizes product pricing and investment and debt management strategies to manage its interest rate risk.

    The following table presents information on the Company's financial instruments which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Expected maturities of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are contractual maturities. Interest-bearing demand and savings deposits, which have indeterminate maturities, are included in the earliest maturity category. The resulting table is based on assumptions that include prepayment rates on mortgage-related assets and a forecast of market interest rates. See note 24 to the consolidated financial statements on page 41 and 42 of this Annual Report for a discussion of the calculation of fair values.

    At December 31, 2000, holdings of relatively shorter-term loans and investments and long-term borrowings increased from year-end 1999. Fair value of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, as a percentage of book value, rose as market interest rates declined throughout the year. Maturities and fair values of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities may vary from expectations if actual experience differs from assumptions used.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CPB INC. AND SUBSIDIARY—YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

    CPB Inc.'s (the "Company's") sole operating subsidiary, Central Pacific Bank (the "Bank"), is a full-service commercial bank which had 24 banking offices located throughout the state of Hawaii at December 31, 2000. The Bank engages in a broad range of lending activities including the granting of commercial, consumer and real estate loans. The Bank also offers a variety of deposit instruments. These include personal and business checking and savings accounts, money market accounts and time certificates of deposit.

    Other products and services include non-deposit investment products, debit and credit card services, Internet banking services, cash management services, traveler's checks, safe deposit boxes, international banking services, night depository facilities and wire transfer services. The Bank's Trust and Investment Management Division also offers investment management, asset custody and general consultation and planning services.

    The Bank's business depends on rate differentials, the difference between the interest rate paid by the Bank on its deposits and other borrowings and the interest rate received by the Bank on loans extended to its customers and investment securities held in the Bank's portfolio. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Bank. Accordingly, the earnings and growth of the Company are subject to the influence of domestic and foreign economic conditions, including inflation, recession and unemployment.

Principles of Consolidation

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CPB Inc. and its subsidiary, Central Pacific Bank and its subsidiaries, CPB Properties, Inc. (wholly-owned) and CPB Real Estate, Inc. CPB Real Estate, Inc. was incorporated in 1998 and was formed for the purpose of acquiring, holding and managing real estate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    During 1997, CPB Inc. formed a limited liability company with Source Management LLC to create a residential mortgage brokerage firm named Trans-Pacific Mortgage Group LLC, of which the Company owned 49%. In December 1999, the Company relinquished its ownership interest in Trans-Pacific Mortgage Group LLC. The investment was accounted for by the equity method.

    CPB Properties, Inc. is a general partner with a 50% interest in CKSS Associates, a limited partnership. The investment is accounted for by the equity method.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

    For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash and due from banks.

Investment Securities

    The Company accounts for its investment securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which requires that investments in debt securities and marketable equity securities be designated as trading, held to maturity or available for sale. Trading securities, of which the Company

29


had none at December 31, 2000 and 1999, would be reported at fair value, with changes in fair value included in earnings. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Held-to-maturity debt securities are reported at amortized cost.

    Gains and losses from the disposition of investment securities are computed using the specific identification method.

Loans

    Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income. Unearned income represents net deferred loan fees which are recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield.

    Interest income on loans is generally recognized on an accrual basis. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when interest payments are 90 days past due, or earlier should Management determine that the borrowers will be unable to meet contractual principal and/or interest obligations, unless the loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income should Management determine that the collectibility of such accrued interest is doubtful. All subsequent receipts are applied to principal outstanding, and no interest income is recognized unless the financial condition and payment record of the borrowers warrant such recognition. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to an accrual basis when principal and interest payments are current and full payment of principal and interest is expected.

Allowance for Loan Losses

    The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged off against the allowance, and all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Subsequent receipts, if any, are credited first to the remaining principal, then to the allowance as recoveries, and finally to unaccrued interest.

    The Company, considering current information and events regarding the borrowers' ability to repay their obligations, treats a loan as impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, if the loan is considered to be collateral dependent, based on the fair value of the collateral. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status.

    For smaller-balance homogeneous loans (primarily residential real estate and consumer loans), the allowance for loan losses is based upon Management's evaluation of the quality, character and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, current and projected economic conditions, and past loan loss experience. Delinquent consumer loans are charged off within 120 days, unless determined to be adequately collateralized or in imminent process of collection.

Premises and Equipment

    Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are included in other operating expense and are computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the applicable leases, whichever is shorter. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized, while recurring maintenance and repairs

30


are charged to operating expense. Net gains or losses on dispositions of premises and equipment are included in other operating expense.

Intangible Assets

    Intangible assets are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value and are included in other assets. Intangible assets totaled $954,000 and $1,153,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Amortization expense amounted to $308,000, $322,000 and $262,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Accumulated amortization amounted to $1,562,000 and $1,254,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Other Real Estate

    Other real estate is composed of properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings. Properties acquired through foreclosure are valued at fair value which establishes the new cost basis of other real estate. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to acquisition, such properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling expenses, determined on an individual asset basis. Any deficiency resulting from the excess of cost over fair value less estimated selling expenses is recognized as a valuation allowance. Any subsequent increase in fair value up to its cost basis is recorded as a reduction of the valuation allowance. Increases or decreases in the valuation allowance are included in other operating expense. Net gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties are included in other operating income.

Stock Option Plans

    Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations, whereby compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.

Income Taxes

    Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using the asset and liability method for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income taxes in the period that includes the enactment date.

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

    The Bank periodically is a party to a limited amount of forward foreign exchange contracts to satisfy customer requirements for foreign currencies. These contracts are not utilized for trading purposes and are carried at market value, with realized gains and losses included in fees on foreign

31


exchange. Net losses for 2000 and 1999 totaled $1,000 and $2,000, respectively. There were no gains or losses in 1998.

Use of Estimates

    The Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements. With respect to the allowance for loan losses, the Company believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for potential losses on loans and other extensions of credit, including off-balance sheet credit exposures. While the Company utilizes available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in the state of Hawaii. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

    Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the previous two years have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company's results of operations.

2. RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

    The Bank is required by the Federal Reserve Bank to maintain reserves based on the amount of deposits held. The amount held as a reserve at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $30,127,000 and $61,316,000, respectively.

  Total   $ 1,291,190   $ 1,170,476
   
 

    Loans held for sale, consisting primarily of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans which were originated with the intent to sell, amounted to $1,045,000 and $3,010,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and were valued at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.

    In the normal course of business, the Bank has made loans to certain directors, executive officers and their affiliates under terms consistent with the Bank's general lending policies. An analysis of the activity of such loans in 2000 follows:

(Dollars in thousands)

   
 
Balance, beginning of year   $ 6,587  
Additions     1,097  
Repayments     (2,433 )
Other changes     (699 )
   
 
  Balance, end of year   $ 4,552  
   
 

    The amount of other changes is primarily attributable to the writedown of a loan to a not-for-profit organization on whose board certain officers and directors serve.

    Impaired loans at December 31, 2000 and 1999, all of which had related allowance for loan losses established (see note 5), amounted to $11,304,000 and $6,089,000, respectively, and included all nonaccrual and restructured loans greater than $500,000. The average recorded investment in impaired loans amounted to $8,124,000 in 2000, $9,533,000 in 1999 and $20,199,000 in 1998. Interest income recognized on such loans amounted to $130,000 in 2000, $350,000 in 1999 and $749,000 in 1998, of which $93,000, $260,000 and $3,000, respectively, was earned on nonaccrual loans, and $37,000, $1,000, was recorded in 2000 and 1999, respectively, on restructured loans still accruing interest.

    Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2000 and 1999 totaled $8,524,000 and $9,695,000, respectively. The Bank collected and recognized interest income of $44,000 on nonaccrual loans in 2000. The Bank would have recognized additional interest income of $751,000 had these loans been accruing interest throughout 2000. Additionally, the Bank collected and recognized interest income of $155,000 on charged-off loans in 2000.

    Restructured loans still accruing interest at December 31, 2000 and 1999 amounted to $466,000 and $500,000, respectively.

    Substantially all of the Bank's loans are to residents of, or companies doing business in, the state of Hawaii and are generally secured by personal assets, business assets, residential properties or income-producing or commercial properties.

7. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

CKSS ASSOCIATES

    CPB Properties, Inc. is a general partner with a 50% interest in CKSS Associates, a limited partnership. The partnership developed an office building complex in Honolulu known as Central Pacific Plaza, part of which serves as the Company's headquarters. CPB Properties, Inc. contributed cash of $846,000 and land with a carrying value of $1,381,000. CPB Properties, Inc. recorded its contribution to the partnership at book value. The partnership has agreed to a value of $5,200,000 for the land and has credited the subsidiary with a contribution of $6,046,000. For accounting purposes, the difference between the $1,381,000 carrying value of the land and the $5,200,000 value of the land agreed upon by the partnership in determining the amount of the contribution would be recognized, if at all, only upon the sale of the subsidiary's interest in the partnership or upon the sale of the land and building by the partnership.

    At December 31, 2000, notes payable included $6,801,000 payable to The Sumitomo Bank, Limited ("Sumitomo"), a stockholder of CPB Inc., and $8,400,000 due to the Bank. The notes payable to

37


Sumitomo, due on June 18, 2001, are secured by a mortgage on Central Pacific Plaza. The notes payable to the Bank include $8,300,000 due on August 10, 2001, which is secured by a mortgage on the Kaimuki Plaza, and $100,000 due on April 10, 2001, which is secured by second mortgages on the Central Pacific Plaza and Kaimuki Plaza properties. The notes payable bear interest at either a fixed rate or a variable rate based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or the Federal funds rate. The weighted average interest rate on these notes was 7.018% at December 31, 2000.

Operating Lease

    In 1995 CKSS Associates completed its development of a four-story office building known as the Kaimuki Plaza in Kaimuki, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, on land owned by CPB Properties, Inc. In 1992, CKSS Associates and CPB Properties, Inc. entered into a lease agreement effective from January 1, 1993 to December 31, 2047. This lease agreement has been accounted for as an operating lease. Fixed annual lease payments through 2007 are $300,000 for 2001 through 2002 and $360,000 for 2003 through 2007. Thereafter, and until the end of the lease term, minimum annual lease payments will be renegotiated to a rate not less than $360,000 per year. Lease rent paid to CPB Properties, Inc. totaled $300,000 during each of the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

8. DEPOSITS

    Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more totaled $418,405,000 and $346,905,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

    Interest expense on certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more totaled $21,430,000, $16,132,000, and $16,640,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

9. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

    Federal funds purchased generally mature on the day following the date of purchase.

    Securities sold under agreements to repurchase with a weighted average contractual maturity of 53 days at December 31, 2000, were treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase the identical securities sold were reflected as a liability with the dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements remaining in the asset accounts. At December 31, 2000, the underlying securities were held in a custodial account subject to Bank control.

    Other short-term borrowings consist primarily of the Treasury Tax and Loan balance, which represents tax payments collected on behalf of the U.S. government, and FHLB short-term advances. The Treasury Tax and Loan balances bear market interest rates and are callable at any time.

11. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

    On August 26, 1998, the Company's board of directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the "Rights Plan") which entitled holders of common stock to receive one right for each share of common stock outstanding as of September 16, 1998. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share of the Company's Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Series A, no par value per share, at a price of $75.00 per one one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, subject to adjustment. The rights are exercisable only upon the occurrence of specific events and will expire on August 26, 2008. The Rights Plan was designed to ensure that shareholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of unsolicited or coercive attempts to acquire the Company. The Rights Plan was also intended to guard against unfair tender offers and other abusive takeover tactics. The Rights Plan was not intended to prevent an acquisition bid for the Company on terms that are fair to all shareholders.

12. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

    The Bank has an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") and related trust covering substantially all full-time employees with at least one year of service. Normal vesting occurs at the rate of 20% per year starting the second year of participation. The Bank made contributions of $649,000, $1,280,000 and $1,241,000 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which were charged to salaries and employee benefits. Effective January 1, 2000, contributions to the profit sharing plan and ESOP combined were reduced from 10% to 5% of defined net income.

13. STOCK OPTION PLANS

    The Company has adopted stock option plans for the purpose of granting options to purchase CPB Inc. common stock to directors, officers and other key individuals. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the stock's fair market value at the date of grant. All options have 10-year terms. Incentive stock options vest at the rate of 20% per year while nonqualified stock options, which do not qualify as incentive stock options ("nonqualified stock options"), vest annually over the respective periods.

    In November 1986, the Company adopted the 1986 Stock Option Plan ("1986 Plan") making available 440,000 shares for grants to employees. In 1992, the Company's stockholders approved an increase to 1,040,000 shares for grants. The 1986 Plan expired in 1997, and no new options will be granted under this plan. Outstanding options may be exercised by optionees until the expiration of the respective options in accordance with the original terms of the 1986 Plan.

    In February 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan ("1997 Plan") basically as a continuance of the previous plan for a 10-year term. In April 1997, the Company's stockholders approved the 1997 Plan which provides for 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for grants to employees as qualified incentive stock options and to directors as nonqualified stock options. During 1997, in addition to employee grants, each director of the Company and the Bank received a grant based on 1,500 shares multiplied by the lesser of 10 years or the number of years to age 70. Vesting is 1,500 shares annually beginning a year from July 30, 1997, the date of grant.

    The table below presents activity of the 1986 and 1997 Stock Option Plans for the years indicated. The per share weighted average fair value of options granted during 2000, 1999, 1997 and 1995 of $10.90, $9.53, $5.47 and $4.54, respectively, was determined using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 2.33%, 2.32%, 2.63% and 3.07%, expected volatility of 43%, 36%, 28% and 30%, risk-free interest rate of 5.04%,

40


6.25%, 5.45% and 6.10% and expected life of 7.5 years for 2000, 1999, 1997 and 1995, respectively. There were no grants in 1998 or 1996.

    The following table presents information on options outstanding under the 1986 and 1997 Stock Option Plans:

    The Company applied APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock option plans, and accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized for its options in the consolidated financial statements. The following table presents pro forma disclosures of the impact that the 2000, 1999, 1997 and 1995 option grants would have had on net income and earnings per share had the grants been measured using the fair value of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

  2000
  1999
  1998
As reported:                  
  Net income   $ 19,434   $ 16,326   $ 15,069
  Basic earnings per share     2.18     1.70     1.46
  Diluted earnings per share     2.14     1.68     1.45
Pro forma:                  
  Net income   $ 19,113   $ 16,090   $ 14,851
  Basic earnings per share     2.14     1.68     1.44
  Diluted earnings per share     2.10     1.66     1.43
   
 
 

    Pro forma net income and earnings per share reflect only those options granted since 1995. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts presented above because

41


compensation cost is reflected over the options' vesting period of five years and compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 is not considered.

14. SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

    On December 16, 1986, the Company's stockholders ratified a Share Purchase Agreement which gives Sumitomo the right to purchase newly issued common stock of the Company for the purpose of maintaining its pro rata ownership interest in the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, warrants were issued giving Sumitomo the right to purchase shares at fair market value at the time such warrants are exercised, contingent upon the exercise of stock options by the optionees and subject to the approval of the Federal Reserve Board. At December 31, 2000, Sumitomo held exercisable warrants for 48,860 shares and warrants for 25,821 shares which will be exercisable as stock options are exercised by the optionees. All warrants will expire on June 14, 2006. No warrants were exercised during the three-year period ended December 31, 2000.

15. PENSION PLANS

    The Bank has a defined benefit retirement plan covering substantially all of its employees. The plan was curtailed in 1986, and accordingly, plan benefits were fixed as of that date.

    The Bank also had a money purchase pension plan which covered all full-time employees with at least one year of service. This plan was terminated in 1991 as part of a review of the employee benefits program. Participants in the money purchase pension plan became fully vested at the time of termination.

    Effective January 1, 1991, the Bank reactivated its defined benefit retirement plan to address changes brought about by the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1990 and to provide a more competitive employee benefit program. As a result of the reactivation, employees for whom benefits became fixed in 1986 continued to accrue additional benefits under the new formula that became effective on January 1, 1991. Employees who were not participants at curtailment, but were subsequently eligible to join, became participants effective January 1, 1991. Under the reactivated plan, benefits are based upon the employees' years of service and their highest average annual salaries in a 60-consecutive-month period of service, reduced by benefits provided from the Bank's terminated money purchase pension plan. The reactivation of the defined benefit retirement plan on January 1, 1991 resulted in an increase of $5,914,000 in the unrecognized prior service cost, which is being amortized over a period of 13 years.

16. PROFIT SHARING AND 401(K) PLANS

    The Bank's profit sharing plan covers substantially all employees with at least one year of service. The board of directors has sole discretion in determining the annual contribution to the plan, subject to limitations of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees may elect to receive up to 50% of their annual allocation in cash. The Bank made contributions of $649,000, $853,000 and $826,000 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    Effective March 31, 1996, the profit sharing plan was merged with an existing employee-funded 401(k) plan which allows employees to direct their own investments. Effective September 1, 1996, the Bank instituted a 50% employer-matching program for the 401(k) plan, contributing up to 2% of qualifying employees' salaries. Bank contributions to the 401(k) plan totaled $651,000, $334,000 and $318,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    Effective January 1, 2000, combined contributions to the profit sharing plan and ESOP were reduced from 10% to 5% of defined net income, while contributions to the Bank's 401(k) plan increased from 50% to 100% of employee contributions up to 4% of the employee's salary.

17. OPERATING LEASES

    The Bank occupies a number of properties under leases which expire on various dates through 2038 and, in most instances, provide for renegotiation of rental terms at fixed intervals. These leases generally contain renewal options for periods ranging from 5 to 15 years.

    Total rent expense represents gross rent expense less the net operating income from Company—owned properties of $499,000, $544,000 and $459,000 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    Net rent expense, charged to net occupancy expense, for all operating leases is summarized as follows:

    Rental commitments include $10,260,000 in commitments to CKSS Associates by the Bank for office space in the Central Pacific Plaza and Kaimuki Plaza buildings.

    In addition, the Bank and CPB Properties, Inc. lease certain properties that they own. The following is a schedule of future minimum rental income for those noncancellable operating leases that had initial lease terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2000:

    Income tax expense amounted to $10,585,000, $8,051,000 and $8,967,000 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Income tax expense for the periods presented differed from the "expected" tax expense (computed by applying the U.S. Federal corporate tax rate of 35% to income before income taxes) for the following reasons:

    Total   $ 10,585   $ 8,051   $ 8,967  
   
 
 
 

    At December 31, 2000, current Federal income taxes payable of $8,729,000 and current state franchise taxes payable of $7,761,000 were included in other liabilities. At December 31, 1999, current Federal income taxes receivable of $1,912,000 were included in other assets, and current state franchise taxes payable of $3,953,000 were included in other liabilities.

    The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)

  2000

  Employee retirement benefits     1,834     1,861
  State franchise tax     1,194     570
  Premises and equipment, principally due to differences in depreciation     1,089     86
  Interest on nonaccrual loans     1,004     749
  Accrued expenses     639     1,175
  Other     461     165
   
 
    Total deferred tax assets   $ 15,630   $ 11,378
   
 
Deferred tax liabilities:            
  FHLB stock dividends received     4,121     3,623
  Deferred gain on curtailed retirement plan     2,771     2,771
  Deferred finance fees     991     650
  Investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries     683     802
  Accreted discounts receivable     432     279
  Net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities         1,827
  Other     231     150
   
 
    Total deferred tax liabilities   $ 9,229   $ 10,102
   
 
    Net deferred tax assets   $ 6,401   $ 1,276
   
 

    In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, Management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected

47


future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. There was no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2000 and 1999.

    In 1998, the Company completed a corporate reorganization which was intended to reduce the Company's overall effective tax rate. The Company believes that the associated tax benefits are realizable; however, the state of Hawaii has indicated that it may challenge the tax treatment of this reorganization. Estimated tax benefits which have not yet been recognized amounted to approximately $3,600,000 as of December 31, 2000.

20. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

    Components of other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were comprised solely of unrealized holding (losses) gains on available-for-sale investment securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes, is presented below as of the dates indicated:

21. EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Stock options and share purchase agreement warrants are considered common stock equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

22. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

    The Company and its subsidiary are involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

48


    In the normal course of business, there are outstanding contingent liabilities and other commitments, such as unused letters of credit, items held for collection and unsold traveler's checks, which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.

23. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

    The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written, and forward foreign exchange contracts. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and foreign exchange risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.

    The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. For forward foreign exchange contracts, the contract amounts do not represent exposure to credit loss. The Bank controls the credit risk of its forward foreign exchange contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

    At December 31, 2000 and 1999 financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)

  2000
  1999
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:            
  Commitments to extend credit   $ 307,763   $ 322,464
  Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written     20,390     12,864
   
 
Financial instruments whose contract amounts exceed the amount of credit risk:            
  Forward foreign exchange contracts   $ 161   $ 243
   
 

    Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on Management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

    Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

    Forward foreign exchange contracts represent commitments to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date at a specified price. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

24. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," as amended by SFAS No. 119, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments.

Short-Term Financial Instruments

    The carrying values of short-term financial instruments are deemed to approximate fair values. Such instruments are considered readily convertible to cash and include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, Federal funds sold, accrued interest receivable, due from customers on acceptances, short-term borrowings, bank acceptances outstanding and accrued interest payable.

Investment Securities

    The fair value of investment securities is based on market price quotations received from securities dealers. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. The equity investment in common stock of the FHLB, which is redeemable for cash at par value, is reported at its par value.

Loans

    The fair value of loans is estimated based on discounted cash flows of portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics including the type of loan, interest terms and repayment history. The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risks inherent in the loans. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower information.

Deposit Liabilities

    The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing demand and savings accounts, are equal to the amount payable on demand. The

50


fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Long-Term Debt

    The fair value of FHLB advances is estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows over the contractual borrowing period at the estimated market rate for similar borrowing arrangements.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

    The fair values of off-balance sheet financial instruments are estimated based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties, current settlement values or quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Limitations

    Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Bank's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are

51


subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

    Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For example, significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include deferred tax assets, premises and equipment and intangible assets. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in many of the estimates.

25. DECLARATION OF DIVIDENDS

    The Company's board of directors, at a special meeting held on December 18, 2000, declared a fourth quarter cash dividend of $0.16 per share, in addition to the three quarterly cash dividends previously declared, for a total of $0.61 per share for the year ended December 31, 2000.

26. SEGMENT INFORMATION

    The Company has three reportable segments: retail banking, commercial finance and treasury. The segments reported are consistent with internal functional reporting lines. They are managed separately because each unit has different target markets, technological requirements, marketing strategies and specialized skills. The retail banking segment includes all retail branch offices. Products and services offered include checking, savings, money market and time deposits; real estate, commercial and consumer loans; safe deposit boxes; and various other bank services. The commercial finance segment focuses on lending to corporate customers; construction and real estate development lending; and international banking services. The treasury segment is responsible for managing the Company's investment securities portfolio and wholesale funding activities.

    The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in note 1. The majority of the Company's net income is derived from net interest income. Accordingly, Management focuses primarily on net interest income (expense), rather than gross interest income and expense amounts, in evaluating segment profitability. Intersegment net interest income (expense) is allocated to each segment based on the amount of net investable funds provided (used) by that segment at a rate equal to the Bank's average rate on interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. All administrative and overhead expenses are allocated to the segments at cost. Cash, investment securities, loans and their related balances are allocated to the segment responsible for acquisition and maintenance of those assets. Segment assets also include all premises and equipment used directly in segment operations.

27. PARENT COMPANY AND REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS

    At December 31, 2000, retained earnings of the parent company, CPB Inc., included $93,849,000 of equity in undistributed income of the Bank.

    The Bank, as a Hawaii state-chartered bank, is prohibited from declaring or paying dividends greater than its retained earnings. As of December 31, 2000, retained earnings of the Bank totaled $95,196,000.

    Section 131 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA") required the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision (collectively, the "Agencies") to develop a mechanism to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions. The final rules to implement FDICIA's Prompt Corrective Action provisions established minimum regulatory capital standards to determine an insured depository institution's capital category. However, the Agencies may impose higher minimum standards on individual institutions or may downgrade an institution from one capital category to a lower capital category because of safety and soundness concerns.

    The Prompt Corrective Action provisions impose certain restrictions on institutions that are undercapitalized. The restrictions become increasingly more severe as an institution's capital category declines from undercapitalized to critically undercapitalized. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Bank's regulatory capital ratios exceeded the minimum thresholds for a "well-capitalized" institution.

    The following table sets forth actual and required capital and capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of the dates indicated:

28. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an Amendment of SFAS Statement No. 133," which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 138 amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and certain hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended, is now effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The application of SFAS No. 133, as amended, effective from January 1, 2001, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

    In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 140 supersedes and replaces SFAS No. 125 of the same name and provides accounting and reporting guidance for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 140 are to be applied prospectively to transactions occurring after March 31, 2001. The application of SFAS No. 140 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Stockholders and Board of Directors of CPB Inc.:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CPB Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CPB Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

    The closing price of the common stock as of January 31, 2001 as reported by Nasdaq was $28.31 per share.

    On January 31, 2001, there were approximately 2,089 stockholders of record of the common stock, excluding individuals and institutions for whom shares were held in the names of nominees and brokerage firms.

    The Company and its predecessor have paid regular semi-annual cash dividends on the common stock since 1958. Beginning in 1988, the Company commenced paying regular quarterly cash dividends. It is the present intention of the Company's board of directors to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends. However, since substantially all of the funds available for the payment of dividends are derived from Central Pacific Bank, future dividends will depend upon the Bank's earnings, its financial condition, its capital needs, applicable governmental policies and regulations and such other matters as the Company's board of directors may deem to be appropriate.
