This report and other presentations made by Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (HECO) and their subsidiaries contain forward-looking statements, which include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and usually include words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, predicts, estimates or similar expressions. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance, ongoing business strategies or prospects or possible future actions are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and the accuracy of assumptions concerning HEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), the performance of the industries in which they do business and economic and market factors, among other things. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.
Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and from historical results include, but are not limited to, the following:
· international, national and local economic conditions, including the state of the Hawaii tourism, defense and construction industries, the strength or weakness of the Hawaii and continental U.S. real estate markets (including the fair value and/or the actual performance of collateral underlying loans held by American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB), which could result in higher loan loss provisions and write-offs), decisions concerning the extent of the presence of the federal government and military in Hawaii, the implications and potential impacts of U.S. and foreign capital and credit market conditions and federal, state and international responses to those conditions, and the potential impacts of global developments (including global economic conditions and uncertainties, unrest, conflict and the overthrow of governmental regimes in North Africa and the Middle East, terrorist acts, the war on terrorism, continuing U.S. presence in Afghanistan and potential conflict or crisis with North Korea or Iran);
· weather and natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning strikes and the potential effects of global warming, such as more severe storms and rising sea levels) , including their impact on Company operations and the economy (e.g., the effect of the March 2011 natural disasters in Japan on its economy and tourism in Hawaii);
· the timing and extent of changes in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve ;
· the ability of the Company to access credit markets to obtain commercial paper and other short-term and long-term debt financing (including lines of credit) and to access capital markets to issue HEI common stock under volatile and challenging market conditions, and the cost of such financings, if available;
· the risks inherent in changes in the value of the Companys pension and other retirement plan assets and ASBs securities available for sale;
· changes in laws, regulations, market conditions and other factors that result in changes in assumptions used to calculate retirement benefits costs and funding requirements;
· the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) and of the rules and regulations that the Dodd-Frank Act requires to be promulgated;
· increasing competition in the banking industry (e.g., increased price competition for deposits, or an outflow of deposits to alternative investments, which may have an adverse impact on ASBs cost of funds );
· the implementation of the Energy Agreement with the State of Hawaii and Consumer Advocate (Energy Agreement) setting forth the goals and objectives of a Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI), revenue decoupling and the fulfillment by the electric utilities of their commitments under the Energy Agreement (given the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) approvals needed; the PUCs potential delay in considering (and potential disapproval of actual or proposed) HCEI-related costs; reliance by the Company on outside parties like the state, independent power producers (IPPs) and developers; potential changes in political support for the HCEI; and uncertainties surrounding wind power, the proposed undersea cables, biofuels, environmental assessments and the impacts of implementation of the HCEI on future costs of electricity);
· capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, especially if generating units (utility-owned or IPP-owned) fail or measures such as demand-side management (DSM), distributed generation, combined heat and power or other firm capacity supply-side resources fall short of achieving their forecasted benefits or are otherwise insufficient to reduce or meet peak demand;
· the risk to generation reliability when generation peak reserve margins on Oahu are strained;
· fuel oil price changes, performance by suppliers of their fuel oil delivery obligations and the continued availability to the electric utilities of their energy cost adjustment clauses (ECACs);
· the impact of fuel price volatility on customer satisfaction and political and regulatory support for the utilities;
· the risks associated with increasing reliance on renewable energy, as contemplated under the Energy Agreement, including the availability and cost of non-fossil fuel supplies for renewable energy generation and the operational impacts of adding intermittent sources of renewable energy to the electric grid;
· the ability of IPPs to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in their power purchase agreements (PPAs);
· the ability of the electric utilities to negotiate, periodically, favorable fuel supply and collective bargaining agreements;
· new technological developments that could affect the operations and prospects of HEI and its subsidiaries (including HECO and its subsidiaries and ASB) or their competitors;
· cyber security risks and the potential for cyber incidents, including potential incidents at HEI, ASB and HECO and their subsidiaries (including at ASB branches and at the electric utility plants) and incidents at data processing centers they use, to the extent not prevented by intrusion detection and prevention systems, anti-virus software, firewalls and other general information technology controls;
· federal, state, county and international governmental and regulatory actions, such as changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to HEI, HECO, ASB and their subsidiaries (including changes in taxation, increases in capital requirements, regulatory changes resulting from the HCEI, environmental laws and regulations, the regulation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, governmental fees and assessments (such as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments), and potential carbon cap and trade legislation that may fundamentally alter costs to produce electricity and accelerate the move to renewable generation);
· decisions by the PUC in rate cases and other proceedings (including the risks of delays in the timing of decisions, adverse changes in final decisions from interim decisions and the disallowance of project costs as a result of adverse regulatory audit reports or otherwise);
· decisions by the PUC and by other agencies and courts on land use, environmental and other permitting issues (such as required corrective actions and restrictions and penalties that may arise, such as with respect to environmental conditions or renewable portfolio standards (RPS));
· potential enforcement actions by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and/or other governmental authorities (such as consent orders, required corrective actions, restrictions and penalties that may arise, for example, with respect to compliance deficiencies under existing or new banking and consumer protection laws and regulations or with respect to capital adequacy) ;
· ability to recover increasing costs and earn a reasonable return on capital investments not covered by revenue adjustment mechanisms;
· the risks associated with the geographic concentration of HEIs businesses and ASBs loans, ASBs concentration in a single product type (i.e., first mortgages) and ASBs significant credit relationships (i.e., concentrations of large loans and/or credit lines with certain customers) ;
· changes in accounting principles applicable to HEI, HECO, ASB and their subsidiaries, including the possible adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards or new U.S. accounting standards, the potential discontinuance of regulatory accounting and the effects of potentially required consolidation of v ariable interest entities (VIEs) or required capital lease accounting for PPAs with IPPs ;
· changes by securities rating agencies in their ratings of the securities of HEI and HECO and the results of financing efforts;
· faster than expected loan prepayments that can cause an acceleration of the amortization of premiums on loans and investments and the impairment of mortgage-servicing assets of ASB;
· changes in ASBs loan portfolio credit profile and asset quality which may increase or decrease the required level of allowance for loan losses and charge-offs;
· changes in ASBs deposit cost or mix which may have an adverse impact on ASBs cost of funds;
· the final outcome of tax positions taken by HEI, HECO, ASB and their subsidiaries;
· the risks of suffering losses and incurring liabilities that are uninsured (e.g., damages to the utilities transmission and distribution system and losses from business interruption) or underinsured (e.g., losses not covered as a result of insurance deductibles or other exclusions or exceeding policy limits); and
· other risks or uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and in other reports (e.g., Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K) previously and subsequently filed by HEI and/or HECO with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, presentation or filing in which they are made. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, HEI, HECO, ASB and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise .

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1 · Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the following notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEIs Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEIs Quarterly Reports on SEC Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012.
In the opinion of HEIs management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to fairly state the Companys financial position as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q or other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The December 31, 2011 balance sheet information has been derived from the HEI 2011 financial statements. When required, certain reclassifications are made to the prior periods consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
The Company has revised its electric utilities previously issued financial statements to correct an error that resulted in the understatement of franchise taxes, net of tax benefits, that should have been recorded in years prior to 2010. The Company determined the cumulative impact for periods prior to 2010 to be a charge to its earnings of $3.2 million. These adjustments were not considered to be material individually or in the aggregate to previously issued financial statements. The table below illustrates the effects of this revision on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements for those line items affected (these revisions have no impact on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for the periods reported):

Intercompany electricity sales of the electric utilities to the bank and other segments are not eliminated because those segments would need to purchase electricity from another source if it were not provided by consolidated HECO, the profit on such sales is nominal and the elimination of electric sales revenues and expenses could distort segment operating income and net income for common stock.
Bank fees that ASB charges the electric utility and other segments are not eliminated because those segments would pay fees to another financial institution if they were to bank with another institution, the profit on such fees is nominal and the elimination of bank fee income and expenses could distort segment operating income and net income for common stock.

The unrealized losses on ASBs investments in mortgage-related securities and obligations issued by federal agencies were caused by interest rate movements. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because ASB does not intend to sell the securities and has determined it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized costs bases, which may be at maturity, ASB did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2012.
The fair values of ASBs investment securities could decline if interest rates rise or spreads widen .
The following table details the contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities. All positions with variable maturities (e.g. callable debentures and mortgage-related securities) are disclosed based upon the bonds contractual maturity. Actual maturities will likely differ from these contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

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

Credit quality . ASB performs an internal loan review and grading on an ongoing basis. The review provides management with periodic information as to the quality of the loan portfolio and effectiveness of its lending policies and procedures. The objectives of the loan review and grading procedures are to identify, in a timely manner, existing or emerging credit trends so that appropriate steps can be initiated to manage risk and avoid or minimize future losses. Loans subject to grading include commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and commercial construction loans.
A ten-point risk rating system is used to determine loan grade and is based on borrower loan risk. The risk rating is a numerical representation of risk based on the overall assessment of the borrowers financial and operating strength including earnings, operating cash flow, debt service capacity, asset and liability structure, competitive issues, experience and quality of management, financial reporting quality and industry/economic factors.
The loan grade categories are:
1- Substantially risk free |
6- Acceptable risk |
2- Minimal risk |
7- Special mention |
3- Modest risk |
8- Substandard |
4- Better than average risk |
9- Doubtful |
5- Average risk |
10- Loss |
Grades 1 through 6 are considered pass grades. Pass exposures generally are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral.
The credit risk profile by internally assigned grade for loans was as follows:

Troubled debt restructurings. A loan modification is deemed to be a TDR when ASB grants a concession it would not otherwise consider were it not for the borrowers financial difficulty. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan or is in imminent default, ASB takes a number of steps to induce the borrower to cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status or to avoid payment default. At times, ASB may restructure a loan to help a distressed borrower improve their financial position to eventually be able to fully repay the loan, provided the borrower has demonstrated both the willingness and the ability to handle the modified terms. TDR loans are considered an alternative to foreclosure or liquidation with the goal of minimizing losses to ASB and maximizing recovery.
ASB may consider various types of concessions in granting a TDR including maturity date extensions, temporary deferral of principal payments, temporary interest rate reductions, and covenant amendments or waivers. ASB rarely grants principal forgiveness in its TDR modifications. Residential loan modifications generally involve the deferral of principal payments for a period of time not exceeding one year or a temporary reduction of principal and/or interest rate for a period of time generally not exceeding two years. Land loans are typically structured as a three-year term, interest-only monthly payment with a balloon payment due at maturity. Land loan TDR modifications typically involve extending the maturity date another one to three years and converting the payments from interest-only to principal and interest monthly, at the same or higher interest rate. Commercial loan modifications generally involve extensions of maturity dates, amendment or waiver of financial covenants, and to a lesser extent temporary deferral of principal payments. ASB does not reduce the interest rate on commercial loan TDR modifications. Occasionally, additional collateral and/or guaranties are obtained.
All TDR loans are classified impaired and are segregated and reviewed separately when assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on the appropriate method of measuring impairment: (1) present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective original contractual rate, (2) fair value of collateral less costs to sell, or (3) observable market price. The financial impact of the calculated impairment amount is an increase to the allowance associated with the modified loan. When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible (confirmed losses), these amounts are charged off against the allowance for loan losses.
L oan modifications that occurred were as follows for the indicated periods:

The one commercial loan that subsequently defaulted was modified by temporarily lowering the monthly payments and deferring principal payments for a short period of time.
Litigation. In March 2011, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the First Circuit Court of the State of Hawaii by a customer who claimed that ASB had improperly charged overdraft fees on debit card transactions. The lawsuit is still in its preliminary stage, thus, the probable outcome and range of reasonably possible loss are not determinable at this time.
ASB is subject in the normal course of business to pending and threatened legal proceedings. Management does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of these pending or threatened legal proceedings will be material to its financial position. However, ASB cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or liquidity for a particular reporting period in the future.
5 · Retirement benefits
Defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans information. For the first nine months of 2012, the Company contributed $64 million ($62 million by the utilities and $2 million by HEI) to its retirement benefit plans, compared to $56 million (primarily by the utilities) in the first nine months of 2011. The Companys current estimate of contributions to its retirement benefit plans in 2012 is $78 million ($63 million by the utilities , $13 million by ASB (for its frozen defined benefit pension plan) and $2 million by HEI) , compared to $75 million ($73 million by the utilities and $2 million by HEI) in 2011. In addition, the Company expects to pay directly $2 million ($1 million each by the utilities and HEI) of benefits in 2012, comparable to 2011.
On July 6, 2012, President Obama signed the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 st Century Act (MAP-21), which included provisions related to the funding and administration of pension plans. This law does not affect the Companys accounting for pension benefits; therefore, the net periodic benefit costs disclosed for the plans were not affected. The Company elected to apply MAP-21 for 2012, which reduced the 2012 minimum funding requirement and lifted the restrictions on accelerated distribution options (which restrictions were in effect April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012) for HEI and HECO and its subsidiaries. If the Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage falls below 80% in the future, the restrictions on accelerated distribution options may apply again.
The Pension Protection Act provides that if a pension plans funded status falls below certain levels, more conservative assumptions must be used to value obligations under the pension plan. The HEI Retirement Plan fell below these thresholds in 2011 and the minimum required contribution for 2012 incorporates the more conservative assumptions required. Other factors could cause changes to the required contribution levels.
The components of net periodic benefit cost for consolidated HEI were as follows:

Consolidated HEI recorded retirement benefits expense of $27 million and $28 million in the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively, and charged the remaining amounts primarily to electric utility plant.
The utilities have implemented pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms under which all of their retirement benefit expenses (except for executive life and nonqualified pension plan expenses) determined in accordance with GAAP are recovered over time.
Defined contribution plans information. For the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, the Companys expense for its defined contribution pension plans under the Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan (HEIRSP) and the ASB 401(k) Plan was $2.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and cash contributions were $3.2 million for both periods.
6 · Share-based compensation
Under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (EIP), HEI can issue an aggregate of 4 million shares of common stock as incentive compensation to selected employees in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares and other share-based and cash-based awards.
As of September 30, 2012, there were 3.8 million shares remaining available for future issuance under the EIP of which an estimated 1.7 million shares could be issued upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and the achievement of performance goals under long-term incentive plans (based on the assumption that long-term incentive plan (LTIP) awards are achieved at maximum levels).
Under the 1987 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (SOIP), grants and awards of an estimated 0.5 million shares of common stock (based on various assumptions, including LTIP awards earned at maximum levels and the use of the September 30, 2012 market price of shares as the price on the exercise/payment dates) were outstanding as of September 30, 2012 to selected employees in the form of nonqualified stock options (NQSOs), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock units, LTIP performance and other shares and dividend equivalents. As of May 11, 2010 (when the EIP became effective), no new awards may be granted under the SOIP. After the shares of common stock for the outstanding SOIP grants and awards are issued or such grants and awards expire, the remaining shares registered under the SOIP will be deregistered and delisted.
The Companys share-based compensation expense and related income tax benefit were as follows:

LTIP payable in stock. The 2011-2013 LTIP and the 2012-2014 LTIP provide for performance awards under the EIP and the 2010-2012 LTIP provides for performance awards under the SOIP of shares of HEI common stock based on the satisfaction of performance goals and service conditions. The number of shares of HEI common stock that may be awarded is fixed on the date the grants are made subject to the achievement of specified performance levels. The payout varies from 0% to 200% of the number of target shares depending on achievement of the goals. The LTIP performance goals for both LTIP periods include awards with a market goal based on total return to shareholders (TRS) of HEI stock as a percentile to the Edison Electric Institute Index over the applicable three-year period. In addition, the 2010-2012 LTIP has performance goals related to levels of HEI consolidated net income, HECO consolidated return on average common equity (ROACE), ASB net income and ASB return on assets all based on two-year averages (2011-2012), and the 2011-2013 LTIP and the 2012-2014 LTIP have performance goals related to levels of HEI consolidated net income, HECO consolidated net income, HECO consolidated ROACE, ASB net income and ASB return on assets all based on the applicable three-year averages.

8 · Commitments and contingencies
See Note 4, Bank subsidiary, above and Note 5, Commitments and contingencies, of HECOs Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, below.
9 · Fair value measurements
Fair value estimates are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid upon the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates are generally determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from independent sources. However, in certain cases, the Company uses its own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. These valuations are estimates at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information, information about the financial instrument and judgments regarding future expected loss experience, economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result if the Company were to sell its entire holdings of a particular financial instrument at one time. Because no active trading market exists for a portion of the Companys financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a significant effect on fair value estimates, but have not been considered in making such estimates.
The Company groups its financial assets measured at fair value in three levels outlined as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The Company used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each applicable class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and cash equivalents and short term borrowingsother than bank. The carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Investment and mortgage-related securities. To determine the fair value of investment securities held in ASBs available-for-sale portfolio, independent third-party vendor or broker pricing is used on an unadjusted basis. Under this methodology, valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; or use of valuation methodologies that use inputs that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
On a quarterly basis, fair value pricing levels obtained from ASBs third-party vendor are reviewed by comparing its prices to a separate third party pricing service or to non-binding third-party broker quotes. ASBs third-party vendor pricing is validated in the majority of cases for the determination of fair value. However, in cases where there are less active and orderly markets or less transparent information from ASBs third-party vendor, fair value may be estimated by use of prices from the separate third party pricing service or from non-binding third-party broker quotes.
Loans receivable. The estimated fair value of loans receivable is determined based on characteristics such as loan category, repricing features and remaining maturity, and includes prepayment estimates.
For residential real estate loans, fair values were estimated by discounting estimated cash flows using discount rates based on current industry pricing for loans with similar contractual characteristics and remaining maturity.
For other types of loans, fair values were estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using discount rates that reflect current industry pricing for loans with similar characteristics and remaining maturity. Where industry pricing is not available, discount rates are based on ASBs current pricing for loans with similar characteristics and remaining maturity.
The fair value of all loans was adjusted to reflect current assessments of loan collectability. Also see Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis below.
Deposit liabilities. The fair value of savings, negotiable orders of withdrawal, demand and money market deposits was the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Other bank borrowings and long-term debt. Fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates available for borrowings with similar credit terms and remaining maturities.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments. The fair value of loans serviced for others was calculated by discounting expected net income streams using discount rates that reflect industry pricing for similar assets. Expected net income streams were estimated based on industry assumptions regarding prepayment speeds and income and expenses associated with servicing residential mortgage loans for others. The fair value of commitments to originate loans was estimated based on the change in current primary market prices of new commitments. Since lines of credit can expire without being drawn and customers are under no obligation to utilize the lines, no fair value was assigned to unused lines of credit. The fair value of letters of credit was estimated based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements.
The estimated fair values of certain of the Companys financial instruments were as follows:

(1) Revised (increased by $83.9 million) to correct an error in the estimated fair value disclosure at December 31, 2011.
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, loan commitments and unused lines and letters of credit issued by ASB had notional amounts of $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, and their estimated fair value on such dates were $2.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, loans serviced by ASB for others had notional amounts of $1.2 billion and $993 million, respectively, and the estimated fair value of the servicing rights for such loans was $11.5 million and $9.8 million, respectively.
Fair value measurements on a recurring basis . While securities held in ASBs investment portfolio trade in active markets, they do not trade on listed exchanges nor do the specific holdings trade in quoted markets by dealers or brokers. All holdings are valued using market-based approaches that are based on exit prices that are taken from identical or similar market transactions, even in situations where trading volume may be low when compared with prior periods as has been the case during the recent market disruption. Inputs to these valuation techniques reflect the assumptions that consider credit and nonperformance risk that market participants would use in pricing the asset based on market data obtained from independent sources. Available-for-sale securities were comprised of federal agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis. From time to time, the Company may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the writedowns of individual assets. ASB does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, ASB records nonrecurring fair value adjustments based on the current appraised value of the collateral securing the loans or unobservable market assumptions. Unobservable assumptions reflect ASBs own estimate of the fair value of collateral used in valuing the loan. ASB may also be required to measure goodwill at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During the first nine months of 2012, it was not required that a measurement of the fair value of goodwill be calculated and goodwill was not measured at fair value.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were as follows:

For the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, there were no adjustments to fair value for ASBs loans held for sale.
Residential loans . The fair value of ASBs residential loans that were written down due to impairment was determined based on third party appraisals for similar residential property sales in an active market, and therefore, is classified as a Level 3 measurement.
Home equity lines of credit . The fair value of ASBs home equity lines of credit that were written down due to impairment was determined based on third party appraisals for similar residential property sales in an active market, and therefore, is classified as a Level 3 measurement.
Commercial loans . The fair value of ASBs commercial loans that were written down due to impairment was determined based on third party appraisals for the specific properties, the value placed on the assets of the business and cash flows generated by the business entity, and therefore, is classified as a Level 3 measurement.
For loans classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2012, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement were as follows:

(1) For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, estimated taxes paid were offset by refunds from the settlement of IRS examinations of prior years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, tax refunds resulted from repairs deductions and bonus depreciation taken in 2009 and 2010.
(2) The amounts shown represent common stock dividends reinvested in HEI common stock under the HEI Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP) in noncash transactions.
11 · Credit agreement
HEI maintains an amended revolving noncollateralized credit agreement, which established a line of credit facility of $125 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility, expiring on December 5, 2016, with a syndicate of eight financial institutions. The credit facility will be maintained to support the issuance of commercial paper, but also may be drawn to repay HEIs short-term and long-term indebtedness, to make investments in or loans to subsidiaries and for HEIs working capital and general corporate purposes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1 · Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information, the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the following notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference in HECOs Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HECOs Quarterly Reports on S EC Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 .
In the opinion of HECOs management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to fairly state the financial position of HECO and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the results of their operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and their cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q or other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The December 31, 2011 balance sheet information has been derived from the HECO 2011 financial statements. When required, certain reclassifications are made to the prior periods consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
HECO and its subsidiaries revised their previously issued financial statements to correct an error that resulted in the understatement of franchise taxes, net of tax benefits, that should have been recorded in years prior to 2010. HECO and its subsidiaries determined the cumulative impact for periods prior to 2010 to be a charge to earnings of $3.2 million. These adjustments were not considered to be material individually or in the aggregate to previously issued financial statements. The table below illustrates the effects of this revision on HECO and its subsidiaries Consolidated Financial Statements for those line items affected (these revisions have no impact on HECO and its subsidiaries Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for the periods reported):

2 · Unconsolidated variable interest entities
HECO Capital Trust III. HECO Capital Trust III (Trust III) was created and exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing in March 2004 2,000,000 6.50% Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, Series 2004 (2004 Trust Preferred Securities) ($50 million aggregate liquidation preference) to the public and trust common securities ($1.5 million aggregate liquidation preference) to HECO, (ii) investing the proceeds of these trust securities in 2004 Debentures issued by HECO in the principal amount of $31.5 million and issued by Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (HELCO) and Maui Electric Company, Limited (MECO) each in the principal amount of $10 million, (iii) making distributions on these trust securities and (iv) engaging in only those other activities necessary or incidental thereto. The 2004 Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable at the maturity of the underlying debt on March 18, 2034, which maturity may be extended to no later than March 18, 2053; and are currently redeemable at the issuers option without premium. The 2004 Debentures, together with the obligations of HECO, HELCO and MECO under an expense agreement and HECOs obligations under its trust guarantee and its guarantee of the obligations of HELCO and MECO under their respective debentures, are the sole assets of Trust III. Trust III has at all times been an unconsolidated subsidiary of HECO. Since HECO, as the common security holder, does not absorb the majority of the variability of Trust III, HECO is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate Trust III in accordance with accounting rules on the consolidation of VIEs. Trust IIIs balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 each consisted of $51.5 million of 2004 Debentures; $50.0 million of 2004 Trust Preferred Securities; and $1.5 million of trust common securities. Trust IIIs income statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 each consisted of $2.5 million of interest income received from the 2004 Debentures, $2.4 million of distributions to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, and $0.1 million of common dividends on the trust common securities to HECO. So long as the 2004 Trust Preferred Securities are outstanding, HECO is not entitled to receive any funds from Trust III other than pro-rata distributions, subject to certain subordination provisions, on the trust common securities. In the event of a default by HECO in the performance of its obligations under the 2004 Debentures or under its Guarantees, or in the event HECO, HELCO or MECO elect to defer payment of interest on any of their respective 2004 Debentures, then HECO will be subject to a number of restrictions, including a prohibition on the payment of dividends on its common stock.
Power purchase agreements. As of September 30, 2012, HECO and its subsidiaries had six PPAs for firm capacity and other PPAs with smaller independent power producers (IPPs) and Schedule Q providers (i.e., customers with cogeneration and/or small power production facilities with a capacity of 100 kW or less who buy power from or sell power to the utilities), none of which are currently required to be consolidated as VIEs. Approximately 90% of the firm capacity is purchased from AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES Hawaii), Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa), Hamakua Energy Partners, L.P. (HEP) and HPOWER. Purchases from all IPPs for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 totaled $187 million, with purchases from AES Hawaii, Kalaeloa, HEP and HPOWER totaling $38 million, $78 million, $19 million, and $18 million, respectively. Purchases for all IPPs for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 totaled $188 million, with purchases from AES Hawaii, Kalaeloa, HEP and HPOWER totaling $35 million, $87 million, $19 million, and $16 million, respectively. Purchases from all IPPs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $540 million, with purchases from AES Hawaii, Kalaeloa, HEP and HPOWER totaling $109 million, $230 million, $48 million, and $48 million, respectively. Purchases for all IPPs for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $508 million, with purchases from AES Hawaii, Kalaeloa, HEP and HPOWER totaling $106 million, $226 million, $44 million, and $45 million, respectively.
Some of the IPPs provided sufficient information for HECO to determine that the IPP was not a VIE, or was either a business or governmental organization, and thus excluded from the scope of accounting standards for VIEs. A windfarm and Kalaeloa provided sufficient information, as required under their PPAs or amendments, such that HECO could determine that consolidation was not required. Management has concluded that the consolidation of some IPPs is not required as HECO and its subsidiaries do not have variable interests in the IPPs because the PPAs do not require them to absorb any variability of the IPPs.
An enterprise with an interest in a VIE or potential VIE created before December 31, 2003, and not thereafter materially modified, is not required to apply accounting standards for VIEs to that entity if the enterprise is unable to obtain the necessary information after making an exhaustive effort. HECO and its subsidiaries have made and
continue to make exhaustive efforts to get the necessary information from two firm capacity producers and other small IPPs who entered into their PPAs prior to December 31, 2003 and have not provided such information , but have been unsuccessful to date as it was not a contractual requirement to provide such information prior to 2004. If the requested information is ultimately received from the remaining IPPs, a possible outcome of future analyses of such information is the consolidation of one or more of such IPPs. The consolidation of any significant IPP could have a material effect on the Companys and HECOs consolidated financial statements, including the recognition of a significant amount of assets and liabilities and the potential recognition of losses. If HECO and its subsidiaries determine they are required to consolidate the financial statements of such an IPP and the consolidation has a material effect, HECO and its subsidiaries would retrospectively apply accounting standards for VIEs.
3 · Revenue taxes
HECO and its subsidiaries operating revenues include amounts for various Hawaii state revenue taxes. Revenue taxes are generally recorded as an expense in the period the related revenues are recognized. However, HECO and its subsidiaries revenue tax payments to the taxing authorities in the period are based on the prior years billed revenues (in the case of public service company taxes and PUC fees) or on the current years cash collections from electric sales (in the case of franchise taxes) . For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, HECO and its subsidiaries included approximately $212 million and $193 million, respectively, of revenue taxes in operating revenues and in taxes, other than income taxes expense.
4 · Retirement benefits
Defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans information. For the first nine months of 2012, HECO and its subsidiaries contributed $62 million to their retirement benefit plans, compared to $55 million in the first nine months of 2011. HECO and its subsidiaries current estimate of contributions to their retirement benefit plans in 2012 is $63 million, compared to contributions of $73 million in 2011. In addition, HECO and its subsidiaries expect to pay directly $0.8 million of benefits in 2012, compared to $1.3 million paid in 2011.
On July 6, 2012, President Obama signed the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 st Century Act (MAP-21), which included provisions related to the funding and administration of pension plans. This law does not affect the utilities accounting for pension benefits; therefore, the net periodic benefit costs disclosed for the plans were not affected. The utilities elected to apply MAP-21 for 2012, which reduced the 2012 minimum funding requirement and lifted the restrictions on accelerated distribution options (which restrictions were in effect April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012) for HECO and its subsidiaries. If the Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage falls below 80% in the future, the restrictions on accelerated distribution options may apply again.
The Pension Protection Act provides that if a pension plans funded status falls below certain levels, more conservative assumptions must be used to value obligations under the pension plan. The HEI Retirement Plan fell below these thresholds in 2011 and the minimum required contribution for 2012 incorporates the more conservative assumptions required. Other factors could cause changes to the required contribution levels.

HECO and its subsidiaries recorded retirement benefits expense of $24 million and $27 million for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The electric utilities charged a portion of the net periodic benefit cost to electric utility plant.
The utilities have implemented pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms under which all of their retirement benefit expenses (except for executive life and nonqualified pension plan expenses) determined in accordance with GAAP are recovered over time.
Defined contribution plan information. For the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, the utilities expense for its defined contribution pension plan was $0.2 million and de minimis, respectively .
5 · Commitments and contingencies
Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. In January 2008, the State of Hawaii (State) and the U.S. Department of Energy signed a memorandum of understanding establishing the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI). In October 2008, the Governor of the State, the State Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, the Division of Consumer Advocacy of the State Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and HECO, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, HELCO and MECO (collectively, the parties), signed an agreement setting forth goals and objectives under the HCEI and the related commitments of the parties (the Energy Agreement), including pursuing a wide range of actions to decrease the States dependence on imported fossil fuels through substantial increases in renewable energy and programs intended to secure greater energy efficiency and conservation. Many of the actions and programs included in the Energy Agreement require approval of the PUC.
Renewable energy projects. HECO and its subsidiaries continue to negotiate with developers of proposed projects to integrate power into its grid from a variety of renewable energy sources, including solar, biomass, wind, ocean thermal energy conversion, wave and others. This includes HECOs plan to integrate wind power into the Oahu electrical grid that would be imported via a yet-to-be-built undersea transmission cable system from a large windfarm proposed to be built on the island of Lanai.
In December 2009, the PUC allowed HECO to defer the costs of studies for the large wind project for later review of prudence and reasonableness, and HECO is now seeking PUC approval to recover the deferred costs totaling $3.9 million for the Stage 1 studies through the REIP surcharge. A decision from the PUC is pending.
In November 2011, HECO and MECO filed their application to seek PUC approval to defer for later recovery approximately $555,000 (split evenly between HECO and MECO) also through the REIP surcharge for additional studies to determine the value proposition of interconnecting the islands of Oahu and of Maui County (Maui, Lanai, and Molokai) and if doing so would be operationally beneficial and cost-effective. In August 2012, the PUC allowed HECO and MECO to defer the outside service costs for the additional studies for later review of prudence and reasonableness. The specific amount to be recovered, as well as the recovery mechanism and the terms of the recovery mechanism, will be determined at a later date.
A revised draft Request for Proposals (RFP) for 200 MW or more of renewable energy to be delivered to Oahu from any of the Hawaiian Islands has been posted on the HECO website prior to the issuance of a proposed final RFP. In February 2012, the PUC granted HECOs request for deferred accounting treatment for the inter-island project support costs. The amount of the deferred costs was limited to $5.89 million.
In May 2012, the PUC instituted a proceeding for a competitive bidding process for up to 50 MW of firm renewable geothermal dispatchable energy (Geothermal RFP) on the island of Hawaii, and in July 2012, HELCO filed an application to defer costs related to the Geothermal RFP.
Interim increases. As of September 30, 2012, HECO and its subsidiaries had recognized $4 million of revenues with respect to interim orders related to general rate increase requests . Revenue amounts recorded pursuant to interim orders are subject to refund, with interest, if they exceed amounts allowed in a final order.
Major projects. Many public utility projects require PUC approval and various permits from other governmental agencies. Difficulties in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, the necessary approvals or permits can result in significantly increased project costs or even cancellation of projects. Further, completion of projects is subject to various risks, such as problems or disputes with vendors. In the event a project does not proceed, or if it becomes probable the PUC will disallow cost recovery for all or part of a project, project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in HECOs consolidated net income. Significant projects whose costs (or costs in excess of estimates) have not yet been allowed in rate base by a final PUC order include those described below.
In May 2011, the PUC ordered independently conducted regulatory audits on the reasonableness of costs incurred for HECOs East Oahu Transmission Project (EOTP), Campbell Industrial Park (CIP) combustion turbine No. 1 (CT-1) project, and Customer Information System (CIS) project. The PUC subsequently eliminated the requirement for a regulatory audit for the EOTP Phase I. The PUC has not yet issued a schedule or requirements for the regulatory audits of the CIP CT-1 and CIS projects or determined if an audit for EOTP Phase 2 will be required.
Campbell Industrial Park combustion turbine No. 1 and transmission line . HECOs incurred costs for this project, which was placed in service in 2009, were $195 million, including $9 million of AFUDC. HECOs current rates reflect recovery of $163 million of these project costs. In July 2011, the PUC allowed HECO to defer the portion of costs that are in excess of the prior PUC approved amounts and related depreciation for HECOs CIP CT-1 project ($32 million) until completion of an independently conducted regulatory audit. The PUC also approved the accrual of a carrying charge on the cost of the project not yet included in rates and the related depreciation expense, from July 1, 2011 until the regulatory audit is completed and allowed the remaining project costs that were not deferred to be included in electric rates. For accounting purposes, HECO will recognize the equity portion of the carrying charge when it is collected in electric rates. Management believes no adjustment to project costs is required as of September 30, 2012.
East Oahu Transmission Project . HECO had planned a project to construct a partially underground transmission line to a major substation. However, in 2002, an application for a permit, which would have allowed construction in a route through conservation district lands, was denied. In 2007, the PUC approved HECOs request to expend funds for a revised EOTP in two phases (then estimated at $56 million - $42 million for Phase 1 and $14 million for Phase 2).
Phase 1 was placed in service in June 2010 at a cost of $59 million. The interim D&O issued in July 2011 in HECOs 2011 test year rate case reflected approximately $16 million of Phase 1 costs and related depreciation expense in determining revenue requirements. In that D&O, the PUC ordered that a regulatory audit was to be conducted before the PUC determined the recoverability of the remaining Phase 1 costs.
In March 2012, the PUC approved a settlement agreement reached among HECO, the Consumer Advocate and the Department of Defense, under which, in lieu of a regulatory audit, HECO would write-off $9.5 million of Phase 1 gross plant in service and associated adjustments. This resulted in an after-tax charge to net income in the fourth quarter of 2011 of approximately $6 million and the elimination of the requirement for a Phase 1 regulatory audit. The PUC also provided for an additional increase of approximately $5 million in HECOs 2011 test year rate case for the additional revenue requirements reflecting all remaining Phase 1 costs not previously included in rates or agreed to be written off.
In April 2010, HECO proposed a modification of Phase 2 of the EOTP that uses smart grid technology and is estimated to cost $10 million (total cost of $15 million, less $5 million of funding through the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program). In October 2010, the PUC approved HECOs modification request for Phase 2, which was placed in service in August 2012. As of September 30, 2012, HECOs incurred costs for the Modified Phase 2 project amounted to $10.9 million (total cost of $15.4 million, less $4.5 million received in Smart Grid Investment Grant funding). Management also expects to receive an additional $0.5 million in Smart Grid Investment Grant funding. Management believes that no adjustment to project costs of EOTP Modified Phase 2 is required as of September 30, 2012.
Customer Information System Project . In 2005, the PUC approved the utilities request to (i) expend the then-estimated $20 million (including $18 million for capital and deferred costs) for a new CIS project, provided that no part of the project costs may be included in rate base until the project is in service and is used and useful for public utility purposes, and (ii) defer certain computer software development costs, accumulate AFUDC during the deferral period, amortize the deferred costs over a specified period and include the unamortized deferred costs in rate base, subject to specified conditions.
The CIS projects new software system became operational in May 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the utilities total deferred and capital costs for the CIS project were $59 million. In February 2012 and May 2012, the PUC granted HECOs and MECOs requests, respectively, to defer CIS project operation and maintenance expenses (limited to $2.3 million per year in 2011 and 2012 for HECO and limited to $0.6 million in 2012 for MECO) that are to be subject to a regulatory audit. The PUC also allowed them to accrue AFUDC on project costs (including deferred operation and maintenance expenses) until the completion of the regulatory audit and begin amortization of such costs when the amortization is included in rates. HELCO anticipates submitting a similar deferral request, but has not yet deferred any CIS project operation and maintenance costs. A reserve for the carrying charges on the deferred costs after the system became operational has been recorded. Management believes no adjustment to project costs is required as of September 30, 2012.
Environmental regulation. HECO and its subsidiaries are subject to environmental laws and regulations that regulate the operation of existing facilities, the construction and operation of new facilities and the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and toxic substances. In recent years, legislative, regulatory and governmental activities related to the environment, including proposals and rulemaking under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and Clean Water Act (CWA), have increased significantly and management anticipates that such activity will continue.
On April 20, 2011, the Federal Register published the federal Environmental Protection Agencys (EPAs) proposed regulations required by section 316(b) of the CWA designed to protect aquatic organisms from adverse impacts associated with existing power plant cooling water intake structures. The proposed regulations would apply to the cooling water systems for the steam generating units at HECOs power plants on the island of Oahu. If adopted as proposed, management believes the proposed regulations would require significant capital and annual O&M expenditures. On June 11, 2012, the EPA published additional information on the section 316(b) rule making that indicates that the EPA is considering establishing lower cost compliance alternatives in the final rule. In mid-July 2012, the EPA decided to delay issuance of the final section 316(b) rule until June 2013.
On February 16, 2012, the Federal Register published the EPAs final rule establishing the EPAs National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for fossil-fuel fired steam electrical generating units (EGUs). The final rule, known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), applies to the 14 EGUs at HECOs power plants. MATS establishes the Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards for the control of hazardous air pollutants emissions from new and existing EGUs. Based on a review of the final rule and the benefits and costs of alternative compliance strategies, HECO has selected a MATS compliance strategy based on switching to lower emission fuels. The use of lower emission fuels will provide for MATS compliance at lower overall costs, avoid the reduction in operational flexibility imposed by emissions control equipment, achieve timely compliance with the MATS and provide flexibility for optimizing the combined compliance strategies for MATS and the tightening of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
On September 14, 2012, the EPA Administrator signed the final action for the Hawaii Regional Haze Federal Implementation Plan (FIP). The plan establishes an annual limit for sulfur dioxide emissions from five HELCO steam
generating units, with compliance required commencing December 31, 2018. No specific control technologies are required for any HECO or MECO generating units. The FIP will be effective November 8, 2012.
Depending upon the final outcome of the CWA 316(b) regulations, possible changes in CWA effluent standards, the specifics of the MATS compliance plan, the tightening of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and the final form of the Hawaii regional haze plan, HECO and its subsidiaries may be required to incur material capital expenditures and other compliance costs, but such amounts are not determinable at this time. Additionally, the combined effects of these regulatory initiatives may result in a decision to retire certain generating units earlier than anticipated.
HECO, HELCO and MECO, like other utilities, periodically experience petroleum or other chemical releases into the environment associated with current operations and report and take action on these releases when and as required by applicable law and regulations. HECO and its subsidiaries believe the costs of responding to such releases identified to date will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on HECOs consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Former Molokai Electric Company generation site . In 1989, MECO acquired by merger Molokai Electric Company. Molokai Electric Company had sold its former generation site (Site) in 1983, but continued to operate at the Site under a lease until 1985. The EPA has since performed Brownfield assessments of the Site that identified environmental impacts in the subsurface. Although MECO never operated at the Site and operations there had stopped four years before the merger, in discussions with the EPA and the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH), MECO agreed to undertake additional investigations at the Site and an adjacent parcel that Molokai Electric Company had used for equipment storage (the Adjacent Parcel) to determine the extent of impacts of subsurface contaminants. A 2011 assessment by a MECO contractor of the Adjacent Parcel identified environmental impacts, including elevated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the subsurface soils. In cooperation with the DOH and EPA, MECO is further investigating the Site and the Adjacent Parcel to determine the extent of impacts of PCBs, fuel oils, and other subsurface contaminants. In March 2012, MECO accrued an additional $3.1 million (reserve balance of $3.6 million as of September 30, 2012) for the additional investigation and estimated cleanup costs at the Site and the Adjacent Parcel; however, final costs of remediation will depend on the results of continued investigation.
Global climate change and greenhouse gas emissions reduction . National and international concern about climate change and the contribution of GHG emissions (including carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels) to global warming have led to action by the State and to federal legislative and regulatory proposals to reduce GHG emissions.
In July 2007, Act 234, which requires a statewide reduction of GHG emissions by January 1, 2020 to levels at or below the statewide GHG emission levels in 1990, became law in Hawaii. The electric utilities participated in a Task Force established under Act 234, which was charged with developing a work plan and regulatory approach to reduce GHG emissions, as well as in initiatives aimed at reducing their GHG emissions, such as those being implemented under the Energy Agreement. On October 19, 2012, the DOH posted the proposed regulations required by Act 234 for public hearing and comment. In general, the proposed regulations would require affected sources that have the potential to emit GHGs in excess of established thresholds to reduce GHG emissions by 25% below 2010 emission levels by 2020. The proposed regulations also assess affected sources an annual fee based on tons per year of GHG emissions, beginning with emissions in calendar year 2012. The proposed regulations also track the federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule (GHG Tailoring Rule, see below) and would create new thresholds for GHG emissions from new and existing stationary source facilities. Both the federal and state regulations create certain exclusions for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from biomass-fired and other biogenic sources. The utilities are evaluating the impact of the proposed regulations; compliance costs could be significant.
Several approaches (e.g., cap and trade) to GHG emission reduction have been either introduced or discussed in the U.S. Congress; however, no federal legislation has yet been enacted.
On September 22, 2009, the EPA issued its Final Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule, which requires that sources emitting GHGs above certain threshold levels monitor and report GHG emissions. The utilities have submitted the required reports for 2010 and 2011 to the EPA. In December 2009, the EPA made the finding that
motor vehicle GHG emissions endanger public health or welfare. Since then, the EPA has also issued rules that begin to address GHG emissions from stationary sources, like the utilities generating units .
I n June 2010, the EPA issued its GHG Tailoring Rule. E ffective January 2, 2011, under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration program, permitting of new or modified stationary sources that have the potential to emit GHGs in greater quantities than the thresholds in the GHG Tailoring Rule will entail GHG emissions evaluation, analysis and, potentially, control requirements. In January 2011, the EPA announced that it plans to defer, for three years, GHG permitting requirements for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from biomass-fired and other biogenic sources. The utilities are evaluating the impact of this deferral on their generation units that are or will be fired on biofuels. On March 27, 2012, the Federal Register published the EPAs proposed New Source Performance Standard regulating carbon dioxide emissions from affected new fossil fuel-fired generating units. As proposed, the rule does not apply to non-continental units (i.e., in Hawaii and U.S. Territories) and therefore does not apply to the utilities.
HECO and its subsidiaries have taken, and continue to identify opportunities to take, direct action to reduce GHG emissions from their operations, including, but not limited to, supporting DSM programs that foster energy efficiency, using renewable resources for energy production and purchasing power from IPPs generated by renewable resources, burning renewable biodiesel in HECOs CIP CT-1, using biodiesel for startup and shutdown of selected MECO generating units, and testing biofuel blends in other HECO and MECO generating units. M anagement is unable to evaluate the ultimate impact on the utilities operations of eventual comprehensive GHG regulation. However, management believes that the various initiatives it is undertaking will provide a sound basis for managing the electric utilities carbon footprint and meeting GHG reduction goals that will ultimately emerge.
While the timing, extent and ultimate effects of climate change cannot be determined with any certainty, climate change is predicted to result in sea level rise, which could potentially impact coastal and other low-lying areas (where much of the utilities electric infrastructure is sited), and could cause erosion of beaches, saltwater intrusion into aquifers and surface ecosystems, higher water tables and increased flooding and storm damage due to heavy rainfall. The effects of climate change on the weather (for example, floods or hurricanes), sea levels, and water availability and quality have the potential to materially adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of the electric utilities. For example, severe weather could cause significant harm to the electric utilities physical facilities.
Asset retirement obligations. Asset retirement obligations (AROs) represent legal obligations associated with the retirement of certain tangible long-lived assets, are measured as the present value of the projected costs for the future retirement of specific assets and are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. HECO and its subsidiaries recognition of AROs have no impact on their earnings. The cost of the AROs is recovered over the life of the asset through depreciation. AROs recognized by HECO and its subsidiaries relate to obligations to retire plant and equipment, including removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials.
Changes to the ARO liability included in Other liabilities on HECOs balance sheet were as follows:

Collective bargaining agreements. As of November 1, 2012, approximately 53% of the electric utilities employees were members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO, Local 1260, which is the only union representing employees of the electric utilities. On November 1, 2012, the utilities bargaining unit employees ratified a new collective bargaining agreement and a new benefit agreement that both expire on October 31, 2018. The collective bargaining agreement provides for general non-compounded wage increases (3% for 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018, and 3.25% for 2016). (A general 3% non-compounded wage increase will be provided to bargaining unit employees for 2013 under the collective-bargaining agreement ratified in March 2011). The agreement also includes wage adjustments for certain trades and crafts positions and different wage rates for new bargaining unit office and clerical positions. The new benefit agreement provides for an escalating percentage of employee contributions without caps for medical premiums throughout the term of the agreement.

7 · Fair value measurements
Fair value estimates are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid upon the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates are generally determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are based on market data obtained from independent sources. However, in certain cases, the electric utilities use their own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. These valuations are estimates at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information, information about the financial instrument and judgments regarding future expected loss experience, economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result if the electric utilities were to sell their entire holdings of a particular financial instrument at one time. Because no active trading market exists for a portion of the electric utilities financial instruments, fair value estimates cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a significant effect on fair value estimates, but have not been considered in making such estimates.
The Company groups its financial assets measured at fair value in three levels outlined as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The electric utilities used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each applicable class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings. The carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Long-term debt. Fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates available for borrowings with similar credit terms and remaining maturities.
The estimated fair values of certain of the electric utilities financial instruments (with the level of the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements are categorized noted in parentheses) were as follows:

Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis. From time to time, the utilities may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or writedowns of individual assets. As of September 30, 2012, there were no adjustments to fair value for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP.
From time to time, the utilities may be required to measure certain liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. The fair value of the utilities ARO (Level 3) was determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using market-observable risk-free rates as adjusted by HECOs credit spread. The expected future cash flows to retire the assets are significant unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. HECO estimates these cash flows based on the cost of past asset retirements and contractor cost estimates. As of September 30, 2012, the undiscounted future cash outflows used were $33 million. Also, see Note 5.
8 · Credit agreement and changes in long-term debt
Credit agreement. HECO maintains an amended revolving noncollateralized credit agreement, which established a line of credit facility of $175 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility, expiring on December 5, 2016, with a syndicate of eight financial institutions. The credit facility will be maintained to support the issuance of commercial paper, but also may be drawn to repay HECOs short-term indebtedness, to make loans to subsidiaries and for HECOs capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate purposes.
Changes in long-term debt.
April 19, 2012 notes . On April 19, 2012, HECO, HELCO and MECO issued through a private placement taxable unsecured senior notes (the HECO Notes, HELCO Notes and MECO Notes, and together, the Notes) in the aggregate principal amounts of $327 million, $31 million and $59 million, respectively, as follows:

All proceeds of the Notes, except the HECO Series 2012E Notes, have been applied ($267 million in the aggregate), together with such additional funds as were required, to redeem special purpose revenue bonds (SPRBs) and refunding SPRBs issued by the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii (DBF) for the benefit of the utilities, which outstanding bonds were in aggregate principal amount of $271 million and had stated interest rates ranging from 5.45% to 6.20%.
September 13, 2012 notes . On September 13, 2012, HECO entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the Note Agreement), pursuant to which HECO issued, through a private placement, its 4.53% Senior Notes, Series 2012F (to mature September 1, 2032), in the principal amount of $40 million. The notes are unsecured and interest payable on the notes is taxable. All proceeds of the notes have been applied, together with additional funds provided by HECO, to redeem the $40 million aggregate principal amount 5.10% Series 2002A (year of maturity 2032) SPRBs issued by the DBF for the benefit of HECO.
April 19 and September 13, 2012 notes . The note agreements contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default (the occurrence of which may result in some or all of the notes becoming immediately due and payable) and provisions requiring the maintenance by HECO and each of HELCO and MECO of certain financial ratios generally consistent with those in HECOs existing amended revolving noncollateralized credit agreement.
All of the notes may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time at the prepayment price of the principal amount of the notes plus payment of a Make-Whole Amount. Each of the note agreements also (a) requires the utilities or HECO to offer to prepay the notes (without a Make-Whole Amount) in the event that HEI ceases to own 100% of the common stock or other securities of HECO that is ordinarily entitled, in the absence of contingencies, to vote in the election of HECO directors unless, at the time of such cessation of ownership and at all times during the period of 90 consecutive days thereafter, the long-term unsecured, unenhanced debt of HECO maintains an investment grade rating by at least one rating agency or, if more than one rating agency rates such indebtedness, then by each such rating agency, and (b) permits the utilities or HECO to offer to prepay notes (without a Make-Whole amount) in the event of a sale of assets that would otherwise constitute a covenant default.

Notes: The Companys effective tax rates (combined federal and state) for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011 were 35% and 36%, respectively, and for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 were 36% and 35%, respectively. The lower effective rate for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due primarily to the favorable settlement of the IRS examination of tax years 2007-2009 in 2012. The higher effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due primarily to prior year items (tax benefits recognized as a result of a favorable settlement with the IRS regarding China investment losses and nontaxable bank-owned life insurance proceeds received) and lower utility state tax credit amortization in 2012, partly offset by the impact of the favorable settlement of the IRS examination of tax years 2007-2009 in 2012.
HEIs consolidated ROACE was 10.1% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2012 and 8.5% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.
Dividends. The payout ratios for the first nine months of 2012 and full year 2011 were 72% and 86%, respectively. HEI currently expects to maintain the dividend at its present level; however, the HEI Board of Directors evaluates the dividend quarterly and considers many factors in the evaluation, including but not limited to the Companys results of operations, the long-term prospects for the Company, and current and expected future economic conditions.
Economic conditions.
Note: The statistical data in this section is from public third-party sources (e.g., Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT); University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO); U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; Blue Chip Economic Indicators; U.S. Energy Information Administration; Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA); Honolulu Board of REALTORS®; Bureau of Economic Analysis and national and local newspapers).
Hawaiis tourism industry , a significant driver of Hawaiis economy, continued to improve in 2012. State visitor arrivals grew by 9.6% in the first nine months of 2012 over the same period in 2011. State visitor expenditures also continued to grow, increasing by 19.5% September year-to-date 2012 over the same period in 2011. Hotel occupancies and room rates also continued to rise. The outlook for the visitor industry remains positive with the Hawaii Tourism Authority expecting a 9% increase in airline seat capacity for 2012 over 2011.
Hawaiis unemployment rate was 5.7% in September 2012, lower than the states 6.8% rate in September 2011 and the September 2012 national unemployment rate of 7.8%. Hawaiis unemployment rate has slowly improved after reaching a high of 7.1% in 2009 .
For the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, the median sales price for single family residential homes on Oahu increased by 8.8% and home sales increased 3.5%. The September year-to-date 2012 Oahu condominium median sales price rose 4.1% above September year-to-date 2011 and closed sales increased 2.6%.
Hawaiis petroleum product prices reflect supply and demand in the Asia-Pacific region and the price of crude oil in international markets. The dramatic reduction in Japans nuclear production following the tragic earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 has increased regional demand for energy supplies, including petroleum, such that the prices of the utilities fuels have remained relatively elevated in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) took additional steps to stimulate the U.S. economy on September 13, 2012, based on the current moderate economic outlook. The FOMC held the federal funds rate target at 0 to 0.25% and expects to maintain the record low rates at least through mid-2015, six months longer than previously expected. The FOMCs concern that economic growth may not be strong enough to generate sustained improvement in labor market conditions resulted in a decision to purchase $40 billion per month of additional agency mortgage-backed securities. The FOMC also decided to continue other previously announced actions in order to put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and assist broader accommodative financial conditions. The FOMC stated it is also prepared to take further action as appropriate to support a stronger economic recovery and sustained improvement in labor market conditions in a context of price stability.
Overall, Hawaiis economy is expected to see only modest growth in 2012 and 2013 with local economic growth supported by moderate improvement in the U.S. economy and impeded by continued uncertainty in global economies. Based on updated economic projections and expectations of renewable self-generation and energy-efficiency additions, the electric utilities 2013 energy sales are expected to decline slightly from 2012 levels and then remain relatively flat until 2022.
Recent tax developments. The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 contained major tax provisions that continue to impact the Company, including the 50% and 100% bonus depreciation provisions for qualified property that result in an estimated net increase in federal tax depreciation of $153 million for 2011 and $116 million for 2012, primarily attributable to the utilities.
In December 2011, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued regulations, which provide a framework for determining whether expenditures are deductible as repairs, effective January 1, 2012. The IRS is expected to issue additional revenue procedures containing transitional rules and guidance. The Company is reviewing these regulations and will analyze subsequently issued guidance for their impacts and for the opportunities they present for 2012 and future years.
Health care reform. On June 28, 2012, the US Supreme Court upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the 2010 health care reform law. Currently, Hawaiis Prepaid Health Care Act generally provides greater benefits to employees and dependents because of cost sharing limitations. The Company will continue to comply with its obligations under these laws and to monitor the interaction of the state and federal laws.
Retirement benefits . For the first nine months of 2012, the Companys defined benefit retirement plans assets generated a gain, after investment management fees, of 12.1%. The market value of the defined benefit retirement plans assets of the Company as of September 30, 2012 was $1.1 billion (including $1.0 billion for the utilities) compared to $983 million at December 31, 2011 (including $893 million for the utilities).
The Company now estimates that the cash funding for its retirement benefit plans in 2012 will be $78 million ($63 million by the utilities, $13 million by ASB (for its frozen defined benefit pension plan) and $2 million by HEI), which more than satisfies the minimum funding requirements under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and considers the requirements of the utilities tracking mechanisms, the plans funded status and funding policy. The previous estimates of cash funding in 2012 for the retirement benefit plans were $104 million for the utilities and $3 million for HEI, but these estimates were revised in the third quarter of 2012 as a result of the enactment of MAP-21. MAP-21 changed the methodology for determining the interest rates used in calculating the minimum funding requirement of the Companys pension plans and had the effect of increasing the 2012 Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and reducing near-term requirements for contributions to the plans. MAP-21 also provides for increases in the premiums that the Company will be required to pay in future years to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
The following table reflects the sensitivity to the qualified defined benefit pension projected benefit obligation (PBO) as of December 31, 2012, associated with a change in the pension benefits discount rate actuarial assumption by the indicated basis points and constitutes forward-looking statements.

The other business segment includes results of the stand-alone corporate operations of HEI and American Savings Holdings, Inc. (ASHI), both holding companies; HEI Properties, Inc., a company holding passive, venture capital investments; The Old Oahu Tug Service, Inc., a maritime freight transportation company that ceased operations in 1999; and Pacific Energy Conservation Services, Inc., a contract services company which provided windfarm operational and maintenance services to an affiliated electric utility until the windfarm was dismantled (dissolved in April 2011); as well as eliminations of intercompany transactions.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources. The Company believes that its ability to generate cash, both internally from electric utility and banking operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, commercial paper and bank borrowings, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund its contractual obligations and commercial commitments, its forecasted capital expenditures and investments, its expected retirement benefit plan contributions and other cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
The consolidated capital structure of HEI (excluding deposit liabilities and other bank borrowings) was as follows:
HEIs short-term borrowings and HEIs line of credit facility were as follows:
(1) This table does not include HECOs separate commercial paper issuances and line of credit facilities and draws, which are disclosed below under Electric utilityFinancial ConditionLiquidity and capital resources. The maximum amount of external short-term borrowings during the first nine months of 2012 was $99 million. At October 26, 2012, HEI had $47 million in outstanding commercial paper and its line of credit facility was undrawn.
HEI has a line of credit facility of $125 million (see Note 11 of HEIs Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). There are customary conditions which must be met in order to draw on it, including compliance with its covenants (such as covenants preventing HEIs subsidiaries from entering into agreements that restrict the ability of the subsidiaries to pay dividends to, or to repay borrowings from, HEI). In addition to customary defaults, HEIs failure to maintain its financial ratios, as defined in the credit agreement, or meet other requirements may result in an event of default. For example, it is an event of default if HEI fails to maintain a nonconsolidated Capitalization Ratio (funded debt) of 50% or less (ratio of 17% as of September 30, 2012, as calculated under the credit agreement) and Consolidated Net Worth of at least $975 million (Net Worth of $1.7 billion as of September 30, 2012, as calculated under the credit agreement), or if HEI no longer owns HECO. The commitment fee and interest charges on drawn amounts under the credit agreement are subject to adjustment in the event of a change in HEIs long-term credit ratings.
The Company raised $35 million through the issuance of approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock under the DRIP, the HEIRSP, ASB 401(k) Plan and other plans during the first nine months of 2012. From August 18, 2011 to January 8, 2012, HEI had been satisfying the requirements of the DRIP, HEIRSP, ASB 401(k) Plan and other plans through open market purchases of its common stock. On January 9, 2012, HEI began satisfying these requirements through new issuances of its common stock.
On March 24, 2011, HEI issued $125 million of Senior Notes via a private placement ($75 million of 4.41% notes due March 24, 2016 and $50 million of 5.67% notes due March 24, 2021). HEI used part of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes to pay down commercial paper (originally issued to refinance $50 million of 4.23% medium-term notes that matured on March 15, 2011) and ultimately used the remaining proceeds to refinance part of the $100 million of 6.141% medium-term notes that matured on August 15, 2011. The Senior Notes contain customary representation and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default (the occurrence of which may result in some or all of the notes then outstanding becoming immediately due and payable) and
provisions requiring the maintenance by HEI of certain financial ratios generally consistent with those in HEIs revolving noncollateralized credit agreement. For example, see discussion of Capitalization Ratio and Consolidated Net Worth above.
For the first nine months of 2012, net cash provided by operating activities of consolidated HEI was $122 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the same period was $297 million, due to HECOs consolidated capital expenditures and net increases in ASBs loans held for investment and investment and mortgage-related securities. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $74 million as a result of several factors, including net increases in long-term debt, deposit liabilities and short-term borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of common stock under HEI plans, partly offset by the payment of common stock dividends and a net decrease in retail repurchase agreements. Other than capital contributions from their parent company, intercompany services (and related intercompany payables and receivables), HECOs periodic short-term borrowings from HEI (and related interest) and the payment of dividends to HEI, the electric utility and bank segments are largely autonomous in their operating, investing and financing activities. (See the electric utility and bank segments discussions of their cash flows in their respective Financial conditionLiquidity and capital resources sections below.) During the first nine months of 2012, HECO and ASB paid dividends to HEI of $55 million and $30 million, respectively.
CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Companys results of operations and financial condition can be affected by numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Companys control and could cause future results of operations to differ materially from historical results. For information about certain of these factors, see pages 50 to 51, 66 to 69, and 79 to 81 of HEIs MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEIs 2011 Form 10-K .
Additional factors that may affect future results and financial condition are described on pages iv and v under Forward-Looking Statements.
MATERIAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
In accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8040, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, management has identified the accounting policies it believes to be the most critical to the Companys financial statementsthat is, management believes that these policies are both the most important to the portrayal of the Companys results of operations and financial condition, and currently require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
For information about these material estimates and critical accounting policies, see pages 51 to 52, 69 to 70, and 81 to 82 of HEIs MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEIs 2011 Form 10-K .
Following are discussions of the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of the electric utility and bank segments.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Utility strategic progress. In 2011 and the first nine months of 2012, the utilities continued to make significant progress in implementing their clean energy strategies and the PUC issued several important regulatory decisions, all of which are key steps to support Hawaiis efforts to reduce its dependence on oil. Included in the PUC decisions were a number of interim and final rate case decisions (see table in Most recent rate proceedings below). Additional PUC decisions are needed that will allow the utilities to recover their increasing expenditures for clean energy and reliability on a more timely basis.
The utilities are committed to achieving or exceeding the States Renewable Portfolio Standard goal of 40% renewable energy by 2030 (see Clean energy strategy below). In addition, while it will not take precedence over the utilities work to increase their use of renewable energy, the utilities are also working with the State of Hawaii and other entities to examine the possibility of using liquefied natural gas as a cleaner and lower cost fuel to replace, at least in part, the petroleum oil that would otherwise be used for the remaining generation.
Regulatory . With PUC approval, decoupling was implemented by HECO on March 1, 2011, by HELCO on April 9, 2012 and by MECO on May 4, 2012. Decoupling is a regulatory model that is intended to facilitate meeting the State of Hawaiis goals to transition to a clean energy economy and achieve an aggressive renewable portfolio standard. The decoupling model implemented in Hawaii delinks revenues from sales and includes annual revenue adjustments for O&M expenses and rate base additions. The decoupling mechanism has three components: (1) a sales decoupling component via a revenue balancing account (RBA), (2) a revenue escalation component via a revenue adjustment mechanism (RAM) and (3) an earnings sharing mechanism, which would provide for a reduction of revenues between rate cases in the event the utility exceeds the ROACE allowed in its most recent rate case. Decoupling provides for more timely cost recovery and earning on investments. The implementation of decoupling has resulted in an improvement in the utilities under-earning situation that has existed over the last several years. Prior to and during the transition to decoupling, however, the utilities returns have been well below PUC-allowed returns.
Under decoupling, the most significant drivers for improving earnings are:
1. completing major capital projects within PUC approved amounts and on schedule;
2. managing O&M expenses relative to authorized O&M adjustments; and
3. regulatory outcomes that cover O&M requirements and rate base items not included in the RAMs .
Critical to improving earnings are the outcomes of the regulatory audits to be conducted on certain major projects. See Major projects in Note 5 to HECOs Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the regulatory audits ordered by the PUC.
Future earnings growth is also dependent on rate base growth. The utilities five-year 2012-2016 forecast reflects net capital expenditures of $3.0 billion and a compounded annual rate base growth rate in the range of 7% to 9%. Many of the major initiatives within this forecast are expected to be completed beyond the 5-year period. Major initiatives which comprise approximately 40% of the 5-year plan include projects relating to: (1) environmental compliance; (2) fuel infrastructure investments; (3) new generation; and (4) infrastructure investments to integrate more energy from renewables into the system. Estimates for these initiatives could change with time, based on external factors such as the timing and technical requirements for environmental compliance.
Actual and PUC-allowed (as of September 30, 2012) returns were as follows:

The approval of decoupling by the PUC will help the utilities to gradually improve their ROACEs beyond 2012, which will facilitate the utilities ability to effectively raise capital for needed infrastructure investments. However, the utilities continue to expect an ongoing gap between their PUC-allowed ROACEs and the ROACEs they actually achieve. The timing of general rate case decisions, the effective date of the RAMs and the PUCs consistent exclusion of certain expenses from rates are estimated to have a consolidated ROACE impact of 120 to 150 basis points per year. In addition, there are other items that are not covered by the annual RAMs that could also have an ongoing impact on the ROACEs actually achieved by the utilities. For example, investments in software projects, O&M in excess of indexed escalations and changes in fuel inventory must be addressed in a general rate case. While the specific magnitude of the impact can fluctuate depending on the size of the projects and exogenous factors, the utilities anticipate that these items could incrementally impact consolidated ROACE by 50 to 75 basis points in each of the next two years.
Decoupling implementation . Effective March 1, 2011, as part of the decoupling implementation, HECO established the RBA and started recording the difference between target revenues from its HECO 2009 rate case and actual revenues. Beginning June 1, 2011, HECO began accruing and collecting 2011 RAM revenues of $15 million annually, or $1.3 million per month, which was superseded on July 26, 2011 by the implementation of interim rates in HECOs 2011 rate case. The HECO 2011 rate case interim D&O reset target revenues, O&M expenses and rate base for the decoupling mechanisms until the final D&O was issued on June 29, 2012 and final rates went into effect on September 1, 2012. Under the decoupling tariff order, in future non-rate case years, HECO will accrue and collect 7/12ths of the annual RAM adjusted revenues in one year and the remaining 5/12ths in the following year. HECOs 2012 annual decoupling filing for the tariff that is effective June 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013 reflects a RAM adjustment of $7.0 million ($3.7 million for O&M costs and $3.3 million for invested capital). The filing also includes the collection of the accrued RBA balance as of December 31, 2011 and associated revenue taxes of $22.4 million.
HELCO and MECO began tracking the target revenues and actual recorded revenues via RBAs on April 9, 2012 and May 4, 2012, respectively, when their 2010 test year final rates went into effect.
HELCOs tariff for its annual RAM for 2012 reflects a revenue adjustment that results in a reduction in annual revenues of $2.1 million, effective through May 31, 2013. MECO filed its 2012 RAM (calculated to be $0.1 million) for informational purposes only since the pending interim D&O for its 2012 test year rate case was anticipated to be issued shortly. MECOs interim D&O for its 2012 test year rate case was issued on May 21, 2012.

Notes: In the fourth quarter of 2011, HECO recorded an adjustment of $6 million to revenues related to the third quarter of 2011, which decreased net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 by $3 million.
The electric utilities had effective tax rates for the third quarters of 2012 and 2011 of 37% and 38%, respectively, and for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 of 38%. The lower effective rate for the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was due primarily to the favorable settlement of the IRS examination of tax years 2007-2009 in 2012.
HECOs consolidated ROACE was 8.64% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2012 and 6.95% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.
Other operation and maintenance expenses for the full year 2012 are expected to be approximately 4% higher than 2011 (lower than the 6% increase previously estimated).
Most recent rate proceedings . The electric utilities initiate PUC proceedings (currently, every third year) to request electric rate increases to cover rising operating costs and the cost of plant and equipment, including the cost of new capital projects to maintain and improve service reliability. The PUC may grant an interim increase within 10 to 11 months following the filing of an application, but there is no guarantee of such an interim increase and interim amounts collected are refundable, with interest, to the extent they exceed the amount approved in the PUCs final D&O. The timing and amount of any final increase is determined at the discretion of the PUC. The adoption of revenue, expense, rate base and cost of capital amounts (including the ROACE and RORB) for purposes of an interim rate increase does not commit the PUC to accept any such amounts in its final D&O.
The following table summarizes certain details of each utilitys most recent rate cases, including the details of the increases requested, whether the utility and the Consumer Advocate reached a settlement that they proposed to the PUC, the details of any granted interim and final PUC D&O increases, and whether an interim or final PUC D&O remains pending.

Note: The Request Date reflects the application filing date for the rate proceeding. All other line items reflect the effective dates of the revised schedules and tariffs as a result of PUC-approved increases.
(1) In April 2009, HECO reduced this rate increase request by $6.2 million because a new Customer Information System would not be placed in service as originally planned (see Note 5 of HECOs Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
(2) Because the final increase was $7.4 million less in annual revenues, HECO refunded $2.1 million to customers (including interest) in February 2011.
(3) HECO filed a request with the PUC for a general rate increase of $113.5 million, based on a 2011 test year and without the then estimated impacts of the implementation of decoupling as proposed in the PUCs separate decoupling proceeding and depreciation rates and methodology as proposed by HECO in a separate depreciation proceeding. Including the estimated effects of the implementation of decoupling at the time, the effective revenue request was $94.0 million, or 5.4%. HECOs request was primarily to pay for major capital projects and higher O&M costs to maintain and improve service reliability and to recover the costs for several proposed programs to help reduce Hawaiis dependence on imported oil, and to further increase reliability and fuel security.
The $53.2 million interim increase includes $15 million in annual revenues already being recovered through the decoupling RAM.
(4) HELCOs request was primarily to cover investments for system upgrade projects, two major transmission line upgrades and increasing O&M expenses. On February 8, 2012, the PUC issued a final D&O, which reflected the approval of decoupling and cost-recovery mechanisms, and on February 21, 2012, HELCO filed its revised tariffs to reflect the increase in rates. On April 4, 2012, the PUC issued an order approving the revised tariffs, which became effective April 9, 2012. HELCO implemented the decoupling mechanism and began tracking the target revenues and actual recorded revenues via a revenue balancing account. HELCO also reset the heat rates and implemented heat rate deadbands and the PPAC, which provides a surcharge mechanism that more closely aligns cost recovery with costs incurred. The revised tariffs reflect a lower increase in annual revenue requirement compared to the interim increase due to factors that became effective concurrently with the revised tariffs (lower depreciation rates and lower ROACE) and therefore, no refund to customers was required.
(5) HELCOs request is required to pay for O&M expenses and additional investments in plant and equipment required to maintain and improve system reliability and to cover the increased costs to support the integration of more renewable energy generation.
(6) MECOs interim increase, effective August 1, 2010, was based on a stipulated agreement reached with the Consumer Advocate and temporary approval of new depreciation rates and methodology in a separate depreciation proceeding. The adjustment to this increase, effective January 12, 2011, reflects
the final rates from MECOs 2007 test year rate case. On February 13, 2012, the PUC issued an order instructing MECO and the Consumer Advocate to submit a revised stipulated agreement to incorporate the applicable rulings and decisions in D&Os issued in related proceedings since the first stipulation was filed. On March 29, 2012, MECO and the Consumer Advocate filed an updated agreement on all material issues in MECOs 2010 test year rate case proceeding. On May 2, 2012, the PUC issued a final D&O, which approved the updated agreement, and on May 4, 2012, the tariffs implementing the D&O became effective. MECO implemented the decoupling mechanism and began tracking the target revenues and actual recorded revenues via a revenue balancing account. MECO also reset the heat rates and implemented heat rate deadbands and the PPAC, which provides a surcharge mechanism that more closely aligns cost recovery with costs incurred. The revised tariffs reflect a lower increase in annual revenue requirement than the interim increase due to factors that became effective concurrently with the revised tariffs (lower depreciation rates and lower ROACE) and therefore, no refund was required.
(7) MECOs request is required to pay for O&M expenses and additional investments in plant and equipment required to maintain and improve system reliability and to cover the increased costs to support the integration of more renewable energy generation. See discussion below on interim decision and subsequent proposed adjustments to the interim increase.
HECO 2011 test year rate case . On July 22, 2011, the PUC issued an interim D&O in HECOs 2011 test year rate case, which became effective July 26, 2011. The PUC did not approve the portion of the settlement agreement with the Consumer Advocate allowing deferral of certain costs and HECO filed a motion for clarification and/or partial reconsideration of the interim D&Os findings and conclusions on the deferral of costs.
On February 24, 2012, the PUC issued an order which: (1) approved the deferral of interisland wind project support costs of up to $5.89 million; (2) denied HECOs request to defer certain consultant expenses associated with the Enterprise Resource Planning/Enterprise Asset Management (ERP/EAM) system costs, but allowed HECO to include $552,000 in its 2011 test year expenses for such costs; and (3) granted HECOs request to defer Customer Information System (CIS) project operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses (limited to $2,258,000 per year in 2011 and 2012 under the settlement agreement) that are to be subject to a regulatory audit of project costs, and allowed HECO to accrue AFUDC on these deferred costs until the completion of the regulatory audit. As a result of the order, HECO reflected in the first quarter of 2012 the deferral of $2.3 million ($1.4 million for the interisland wind project support costs and $0.9 million for CIS project O&M expenses) incurred from July 22, 2011 through December 31, 2011 that were previously expensed and will also defer any 2012 costs incurred up to the limitations stated in the order.
On February 3, 2012, the parties reached a settlement agreement on the EOTP Phase 1 project costs, agreeing that, in lieu of a regulatory audit, HECO would write-off $9.5 million of gross plant in service EOTP Phase 1 costs and associated adjustments and carrying charges. The settlement agreement resulted in an after-tax charge to net income in the fourth quarter of 2011 of approximately $6 million. The parties also agreed to stipulate to an additional annual interim increase of $5 million to be effective March 1, 2012, based on additional revenue requirements reflecting all remaining EOTP costs not previously included in rates and offset by other minor adjustments to the interim increase that became effective on July 26, 2011. On March 29, 2012, the PUC approved the settlement agreement, and ordered that the regulatory audit for EOTP Phase 1 need not be conducted. HECO submitted a revised tariff to reflect an increase in the interim increase effective April 2, 2012.
On April 20, 2012, HECO requested an adjustment of $607,000 (i.e., $552,000 grossed up for revenue taxes) to its interim increase to include the ERP/EAM system evaluation costs in its 2011 test year expenses. HECO submitted a tariff to reflect this adjustment and on May 14, 2012, the PUC approved HECOs request for this interim increase, which became effective May 21, 2012.
On June 29, 2012, the PUC issued a final D&O in HECOs 2011 test year proceeding, which finalized approval of the previous interim increases already in effect. It also approved a second stipulated settlement agreement entered into on June 27, 2012 by HECO, the Consumer Advocate and the Department of Defense (parties in the proceeding) to reflect an additional reduction in the test year rate increase of $755,000 to remove parent company non-incentive executive compensation and administrative costs.
On August 9, 2012, the PUC issued an order approving HECOs proposed final tariff sheets and rate schedules, and request for an effective date of September 1, 2012 of the final revised tariffs. Since the final rate increase as a result of the second stipulated supplement to the settlement agreement was lower than the interim increase then currently in effect, HECO refunded customers, effective September 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012, approximately $0.9 million (which included accrued interest since July 26, 2011).
MECO 2012 test year rate case . On May 21, 2012, the PUC issued an interim D&O in MECOs 2012 test year rate case, which became effective June 1, 2012. The D&O authorized MECO to reset its target heat rates by fuel type to 2012 test year levels for the purpose of calculating the energy cost adjustment clause (ECAC) adjustment factor, which will help to ensure MECOs continuing recovery of its fuel costs. The interim increase is based on MECOs updated stipulated agreement with the Consumer Advocate filed on May 14, 2012. On July 20, 2012, MECO and the Consumer Advocate filed a stipulated supplement to the stipulated agreement to reduce the test year revenue requirement by $0.1 million in administrative and general expenses and requested that the final D&O for this rate case incorporate the adjustment into the final 2012 test year revenue requirement.
Clean energy strategy. The utilities policy is to support efforts to increase renewable energy in Hawaii. The utilities believe their actions will help stabilize customer bills over time as they become less dependent on costly and price-volatile fossil fuel. The utilities clean energy strategy will also allow them to meet Hawaiis RPS law, which requires electric utilities to meet an RPS of 10%, 15%, 25% and 40% by December 31, 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2030, respectively. HECO met the 10% RPS for 2010 with a consolidated RPS of 20.7%, including savings from energy efficiency programs and solar water heating (or 9.5% without DSM energy savings). Energy savings resulting from DSM energy efficiency programs and solar water heating will not count toward the RPS after 2014. Through September 2012, HECO achieved an RPS without DSM energy savings of 13.3%, primarily through a comprehensive portfolio of renewable energy power purchase agreements, net energy metering programs and biofuels. The utilities believe they are on track to meet the 2015 RPS.
Recent developments in the utilities clean energy strategy include the following (also see the projects discussed under Renewable Energy Projects in Note 5 of HECOs Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) :
· In September 2011, the PUC denied the utilities requested approval of HELCOs contract with AKP citing the higher cost of the biofuel over the cost of petroleum diesel. In August 2012, HELCO signed a new 20-year contract with Aina Koa Pono-Kau LLC (AKP), subject to PUC approval, to supply 16 million gallons of biodiesel per year with initial consumption to begin within five years of PUC approval.
· In February 2011, the PUC opened dockets related to MECOs and HECOs plans to proceed with competitive bidding processes to acquire up to approximately 50 MW and 300 MW, respectively, of new, renewable firm dispatchable capacity generation resources, with the initial increments expected to come on line in 2015 and 2017, respectively. Due to a subsequent lowering of MECOs forecasted peaks, the projected capacity need date on the island of Maui has been deferred to 2019 and the capacity requirement has been reduced to 30 MW. Due to a subsequent lowering of HECOs forecasted sales and peaks, the projected capacity need has been reduced to a range of 150 MW to 200 MW and the timing will be dependent on the possible retirement of generating units. MECO and HECO plan to file draft RFPs for future capacity with the PUC in the fourth quarter of 2012.
· In August 2011, HECO signed a 20-year contract, subject to PUC approval, with Hawaii BioEnergy to supply 10 million gallons per year of biocrude at Kahe Power Plant with initial consumption to begin as early as 2015. In 2011, HECO also signed other contracts, subject to PUC approval, for lesser amounts of biocrude and for biodiesel for testing or operations.
· In May 2012, the PUC approved a 3-year biodiesel supply contract with Renewable Energy Group through July 2015 for continued biodiesel supply to CT-1 of 3 million to 7 million gallons per year.
· In September 2012, HECO began purchasing test wind energy from the 69 MW Kawailoa Wind, LLC facility. The wind farm is planned to be placed into full commercial operation by the end of 2012.
· In August 2012, the battery facility at a 30 MW Kahuku wind farm experienced a fire and HECO has not purchased wind energy from the wind farm since then.
· In May 2012, HECO signed a contract, subject to PUC approval, with the City and County of Honolulu to purchase an additional 27 MW of capacity and energy from the existing H-POWER waste-to-energy plant.
· In May 2012, HELCO signed a power purchase agreement, subject to PUC approval, with Hu Honua Bioenergy for 21.5 MW of renewable, dispatchable firm capacity fueled by locally grown biomass from a facility on the island of Hawaii.
· In August 2012, the PUC approved a waiver from the competitive bidding process to allow HECO to negotiate with the U.S. Department of the Army for construction of a 50 MW utility-owned and operated firm, renewable and dispatchable generation facility at Schofield Barracks on the island of Oahu.
· HECO, HELCO and MECO began accepting energy from feed-in tariff projects in 2011. As of September 30, 2012, there were 4,010 kW, 345 kW and 1,337 kW of installed feed-in tariff capacity from renewable energy technologies at HECO, HELCO and MECO, respectively.
· As of September 30, 2012, there were 62,762 kW, 15,493 kW and 19,744 kW of installed net energy metering capacity from renewable energy technologies at HECO, HELCO and MECO, respectively. Net energy metering is proceeding at a record pace. The amount of net energy metering capacity installed in the first three quarters of 2012 exceeds the amount installed in all of 2011, which itself was at a record level.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources. Management believes that HECOs ability, and that of its subsidiaries, to generate cash, both internally from operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, commercial paper and lines of credit, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund their respective capital expenditures and investments and to cover debt, retirement benefits and other cash requirements in the foreseeable future.
HECOs consolidated capital structure was as follows:
HECOs short-term borrowings (other than from HELCO and MECO) and line of credit facility were as follows:

(1) The maximum amount of external short-term borrowings during the first nine months of 2012 was $124 million. At September 30, 2012, HECO had $29 million and $7 million of short-term borrowings from HELCO and MECO, respectively. These borrowings are eliminated in consolidation. At October 26, 2012, HECO had $37 million of outstanding commercial paper, its line of credit facility was undrawn, it had no borrowings from HEI and it had short-term borrowings of $42 million from HELCO and $8 million from MECO.
HECO has a line of credit facility of $175 million (see Note 8 of HECOs Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). There are customary conditions that must be met in order to draw on it, including compliance with several covenants (such as covenants preventing its subsidiaries from entering into agreements that restrict the ability of the subsidiaries to pay dividends to, or to repay borrowings from, HECO, and restricting its ability as well as the ability of any of its subsidiaries to guarantee additional indebtedness of the subsidiaries if such additional debt would cause the subsidiarys Consolidated Subsidiary Funded Debt to Capitalization Ratio to exceed 65% (ratio of 41% for HELCO and 40% for MECO as of September 30, 2012, as calculated under the credit agreement)). In addition to customary defaults, HECOs failure to maintain its financial ratios, as defined in its credit agreement, or meet other
requirements may result in an event of default. For example, under the credit agreement, it is an event of default if HECO fails to maintain a Consolidated Capitalization Ratio (equity) of at least 35% (ratio of 54% as of September 30, 2012, as calculated under the credit agreement), or if HECO is no longer owned by HEI.
Special purpose revenue bonds (SPRBs) and refunding SPRBs have been issued by the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii (DBF) to finance and refinance capital improvement projects of HECO and its subsidiaries, with the source of their repayment being the unsecured financial obligations of HECO and its subsidiaries under loan agreements and notes issued to the DBF, including HECOs guarantees of its subsidiaries obligations. The payment of principal and interest due on the various series of SPRBs and refunding SPRBs currently outstanding and issued prior to 2009 are insured by one of the following bond insurers: Ambac Assurance Corporation; Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (FGIC), which was placed in a rehabilitation proceeding in the State of New York in June 2012 (in September 2012, a proposed Plan of Rehabilitation was filed); MBIA Insurance Corporation (which bonds have been reinsured by National Public Finance Guarantee Corp.); or Syncora Guarantee Inc. (which bonds have been reinsured by Syncora Capital Assurance Inc.). The Standard & Poors (S&Ps) and Moodys Investor Services ratings of each of these insurers, which at the time the insured obligations were issued were higher than the ratings of the utilities, are currently either lower than the ratings of the utilities (with the exception of one insurers higher rating by S&P) or have been withdrawn.
On November 1, 2011, the PUC authorized HECO, HELCO and MECO to issue up to $150 million, $10 million and $10 million, respectively, in one or more registered public offerings or private placements of unsecured obligations bearing taxable interest on or before December 31, 2012. On December 22, 2011, the PUC authorized HECO, HELCO and MECO to issue up to $217 million, $34 million and $60 million, respectively, in one or more registered public offerings and/or private placements of unsecured taxable debt obligations and/or refunding SPRBs through December 31, 2012 to refinance certain series of outstanding SPRBs. The PUC also approved the use of an expedited approval procedure for the approval of additional financings or refinancings by HECO, HELCO and MECO during 2013 through 2015, subject to certain conditions.
On April 19, 2012, HECO, HELCO and MECO issued through a private placement taxable unsecured senior notes of various maturities (the HECO Notes, HELCO Notes and MECO Notes, and together, the April Notes) in the aggregate principal amounts of $327 million, $31 million and $59 million, respectively, with stated interest rates ranging from 3.79% to 5.39%. Proceeds of $267 million of the April Notes, together with additional funds, were used to redeem an aggregate principal amount of $271 million of bonds (with stated interest rates ranging from 5.45% to 6.20%). The $150 million of proceeds of the remaining HECO Notes, bearing interest at 5.39%, were used to finance or refinance capital expenditures.
On September 13, 2012, HECO issued another series of taxable unsecured senior notes through a private placement (the HECO September Notes) in the aggregate principal amount of $40 million with a stated interest rate of 4.53%. Proceeds of the HECO September Notes, together with additional funds, were used to redeem the $40 million aggregate principal amount 5.10% Series 2002A SPRBs. See Note 8 of HECOs Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The April Notes and HECO September Note Agreements contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default (the occurrence of which may result in some or all of the Notes of each and all of the utilities then outstanding becoming immediately due and payable) and provisions requiring the maintenance by HECO, and each of HELCO and MECO, of certain financial ratios generally consistent with those in HECOs existing amended revolving noncollateralized credit agreement, which established a line of credit facility of $175 million.
Operating activities provided $80 million in net cash during the first nine months of 2012. Investing activities for the same period used net cash of $188 million for capital expenditures, net of contributions in aid of construction. Financing activities for the same period provided net cash of $75 million, primarily due to the increase in long-term debt and short-term borrowings, partly offset by payment of $56 million of common and preferred dividends.

The impact of higher average earning asset balances was more than offset by lower yields on earning assets. ASBs average loan portfolio balance for the third quarter of 2012 was $95 million higher than for the third quarter of 2011 as the average commercial markets, home equity lines of credit and commercial real estate loan balances increased by $49 million, $113 million and $48 million, respectively. ASB targeted these loan types because of their shorter duration and/or variable rates. Despite a $150 million increase in residential loan production, the average residential loan portfolio decreased by $118 million due to higher repayments and loan sales in connection with ASBs long-term strategy to manage interest rate risk . The loan portfolio yield was impacted by the low interest rate environment as new loan production yields were lower than the average portfolio yield. The average investment and mortgage-related securities portfolio balance decreased by $12 million as ASB experienced higher prepayments on the portfolio, which were used to fund higher loan originations. |

Management is working to grow its bank franchise in Hawaii and remains focused on maintaining ASB as a high performing community bank with a targeted return on assets of 1.15%-1.2%, net interest margin near 4% and an efficiency ratio in the mid-50s. Despite the revenue pressures across the banking industry, management expects ASBs low-cost funding base, reduced cost structure and lower-risk profile to continue to deliver strong performance compared to industry peers. In the current low interest rate environment, management expects ASB net income for the full year 2012 to be 3% to 5% lower than 2011.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, ASB reported a 1.19% return on assets, net interest margin of 3.98% and a 59% efficiency ratio.
Average balance sheet and net interest margin. The following tables set forth average balances, together with interest earned and accrued, and resulting yields and costs:

(1) Includes federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits and stock in the FHLB of Seattle.
(2) Includes loan fees of $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $3.5 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, together with interest accrued prior to suspension of interest accrual on nonaccrual loans, includes nonaccrual loans.
(3) Interest income includes taxable equivalent basis adjustments, based upon a federal statutory tax rate of 35%, of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
(4) Defined as net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.
Earning assets, costing liabilities and other factors. Earnings of ASB depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on costing liabilities. The current interest rate environment is impacted by disruptions in the financial markets and these conditions may have a negative impact on ASBs net interest margin.
Loan originations and mortgage-related securities are ASBs primary sources of earning assets.
Loan portfolio . ASBs loan volumes and yields are affected by market interest rates, competition, demand for financing, availability of funds and managements responses to these factors. The composition of ASBs loan portfolio was as follows:

Principal and interest on mortgage-related securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) are guaranteed by the issuer, and the securities carry implied AA+ ratings.
Deposits and other borrowings . Deposits continue to be the largest source of funds for ASB and are affected by market interest rates, competition and managements responses to these factors. Core deposits continue to be strong, as depositors remain risk averse. Advances from the FHLB of Seattle and securities sold under agreements to repurchase continue to be additional sources of funds. Advances from the FHLB of Seattle have remained at $50 million from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, ASBs costing liabilities consisted of 95% deposits and 5% other borrowings. The weighted average cost of deposits for the
nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 0.16%, compared to 0.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Other factors . Interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASBs operations and also represents a market risk factor affecting the fair value of ASBs investment securities. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into decreases and increases in fair value of those instruments. In addition, changes in credit spreads also impact the fair values of those instruments.
Although higher long-term interest rates or other conditions in credit markets (such as the effects of the deteriorated subprime market) could reduce the market value of available-for-sale investment and mortgage-related securities and reduce shareholders equity through a balance sheet charge to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), this reduction in the market value of investments and mortgage-related securities would not result in a charge to net income in the absence of a sale of such securities or an other-than-temporary impairment in the value of the securities. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the unrealized gains, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investments and mortgage-related securities (including securities pledged for repurchase agreements) in AOCI was $12 million and $10 million, respectively. See Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.
During the first nine months of 2012, ASB recorded a provision for loan losses of $9.5 million primarily due to charge-offs during the year for 1-4 family, residential land, commercial and consumer loans. During the first nine months of 2011, ASB recorded a provision for loan losses of $10.9 million primarily due to the net charge-offs during the year for 1-4 family, residential land, and commercial loans. Continued financial stress on ASBs customers may result in higher levels of delinquencies and losses.

Legislation and regulation . ASB is subject to extensive regulation, principally by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Depending on ASBs level of regulatory capital and other considerations, these regulations could restrict the ability of ASB to compete with other institutions and to pay dividends to its shareholder. See the discussion below under Liquidity and capital resources.
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) . Regulation of the financial services industry, including regulation of HEI and ASB, has changed and will continue to change as a result of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, which became law in July 2010. Importantly for HEI and ASB, under the Dodd-Frank Act, on July 21, 2011, all of the functions of the Office of Thrift Supervision transferred to the OCC, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau). Supervision and regulation of HEI, as a thrift holding company, moved to the FRB, and supervision and regulation of ASB, as a federally chartered savings bank, moved to the OCC. While the laws and regulations applicable to HEI and ASB did not generally change, the applicable laws and regulations are being interpreted, and amended regulations may be or have been adopted, by the Bureau, FRB, and the OCC. HEI will for the first time be subject to minimum consolidated capital requirements, and ASB may be required to be supervised through ASHI, its intermediate holding company. The Dodd-Frank Act requires regulators, at a minimum, to apply to bank and thrift holding companies leverage and risk-based capital standards that are at least as strict as those in effect at the insured depository institution level on the date the Act became effective, although there will be a phase-in period for meeting these standards. In addition, HEI will continue to be required to serve as a source of strength to ASB in the event of its financial distress. The Dodd-Frank Act also imposes new restrictions on the ability of a savings bank to pay dividends should it fail to remain a qualified thrift lender.
More stringent affiliate transaction rules now apply to ASB in the securities lending, repurchase agreement and derivatives areas. Standards were raised with respect to the ability of ASB to merge with or acquire another institution. In reviewing a potential merger or acquisition, the approving federal agency will need to consider the extent to which the proposed transaction will result in greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the U.S. banking or financial system.
The Dodd-Frank Act established the Bureau; it has authority to prohibit practices it finds to be unfair, deceptive or abusive, and it may also issue rules requiring specified disclosures and the use of new model forms.
ASB may also be subject to new state regulation because of a provision in the Dodd-Frank Act that acknowledges that a federal savings bank may be subject to state regulation and allows federal law to preempt a state consumer financial law on a case by case basis only when (1) the state law would have a discriminatory effect on the bank compared to that on a bank chartered in that state; (2) the state law prevents or significantly interferes with a banks exercise of its power; or (3) the state law is preempted by another federal law.
The Dodd-Frank Act also adopts a number of provisions that will impact the mortgage industry, including the imposition of new specific duties on the part of mortgage originators (such as ASB) to act in the best interests of consumers and to take steps to ensure that consumers will have the capability to repay loans they may obtain, as well as provisions imposing new disclosure requirements and requiring appraisal reforms. Regulations are required to be adopted within 18 months after the date that is to be specified by the Secretary of the Treasury for the transfer of consumer protection power to the Bureau.
The Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act required the FRB to issue rules to ensure that debit card interchange fees are reasonable and proportional to the processing costs incurred. In June 2011, the FRB issued a final rule establishing standards for debit card interchange fees and prohibiting network exclusivity arrangements and routing restrictions. Under the final rule, effective October 1, 2011, the maximum permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an electronic debit transaction is 21-24 cents, depending on certain components. ASB currently earns an average of 50 cents per transaction. As specified in the Dodd-Frank Act, these regulations exempt banks like ASB with less than $10 billion in assets. However, market pressures could very well push the impact down to all banks.
Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended, will not become effective until implementing regulations are issued and effective.
Proposed Capital Rules . The FRB, OCC and FDIC issued three notices of proposed rulemaking (NPR) that would revise and replace the current capital rules. The proposed rules are intended to help ensure banks maintain strong capital positions, which would enable them to continue lending to creditworthy households and businesses even after unforeseen losses and during severe economic downturns.
The first NPR, titled Regulatory Capital Rules: Regulatory Capital, Implementation of Basel III, Minimum Regulatory Capital Ratios, Capital Adequacy, and Transition Provisions (Basel III NPR), applies to all depository institutions, bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more, and savings and loan holding companies and revises the risk-based and leverage capital requirements consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel III). The Basel III NPR would increase the quantity and quality of capital required, revise the definition of capital to improve the ability of regulatory capital instruments to absorb losses, establish limitations on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if additional specified amounts of common equity tier 1 capital are not met, and introduce a supplementary leverage ratio for internationally active banking organizations. The Basel III NPR would also revise the prompt corrective action framework by incorporating new regulatory capital minimums and updating the definition of tangible common equity.
The second NPR, titled Regulatory Capital Rules: Standardized Approach for Risk-weighted Assets; Market Discipline and Disclosure Requirements (Standardized Approach NPR), proposes to revise and harmonize the rules for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity and address weaknesses identified over the past several years. The Standardized Approach NPR would incorporate aspects of the Basel II standardized framework such as methods for determining risk-weighted assets for residential mortgages, securitization exposures, and counterparty credit risk. The Standardized Approach NPR would apply to the same set of institutions as the Basel III NPR, but also introduces disclosure requirements for U.S. banking organizations with $50 billion or more in assets.
The third NPR, Regulatory Capital Rules: Advanced Approaches Risk-based Capital Rule: Market Risk Capital Rule (Advanced Approaches NPR), would apply to banking organizations that are subject to the banking agencies advanced approaches rule, or to their market risk rule, and revises the advanced approaches risk-based capital rules to be consistent with Basel III and the Dodd-Frank Act. Generally, the advanced approaches rules would apply to institutions with $250 billion or more in consolidated assets or $10 billion or more in foreign exposure, and the market risk rule would apply to savings and loan holding companies with significant trading activity.

The final rules are proposed to become effective January 1, 2013. The proposed rules allow for a transition period to meet the proposed capital requirement levels. ASB is reviewing the proposed rules and the impact to its capital ratios. Based on a preliminary assessment, management believes ASB and HEI can satisfy the proposed capital rules that would be applicable to them, if adopted.

As of September 30, 2012, ASB was one of Hawaiis largest financial institutions based on assets of $5.0 billion and deposits of $4.1 billion .
As of September 30, 2012, ASBs unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $0.9 billion. As of September 30, 2012, ASB had commitments to borrowers for loan commitments and unused lines and letters of credit of $1.5 billion. Management believes ASBs current sources of funds will enable it to meet these obligations while maintaining liquidity at satisfactory levels.
For the first nine months of 2012, net cash provided by ASBs operating activities was $41 million. Net cash used during the same period by ASBs investing activities was $109 million, primarily due to purchases of investment and mortgage-related securities of $147 million, a net increase in loans receivable of $76 million and additions to premises and equipment of $5 million, partly offset by repayments of investment and mortgage-related securities of $104 million and proceeds from the sale of mortgage-related securities and real estate acquired in settlement of loans of $4 million and $10 million, respectively. Net cash provided in financing activities during this period was $1 million, primarily due to net increases in deposit liabilities of $57 million, largely offset by a net decrease in retail repurchase agreements of $22 million, the payment of $30 million in common stock dividends to HEI (through ASHI) and a net decrease in mortgage escrow deposits of $4 million.
FDIC regulations restrict the ability of financial institutions that are not well-capitalized to compete on the same terms as well-capitalized institutions, such as by offering interest rates on deposits that are significantly higher than the rates offered by competing institutions. As of September 30, 2012, ASB was well-capitalized (minimum ratio requirements noted in parentheses) with a leverage ratio of 9.3% (5.0%), a Tier-1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.8% (6.0%) and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.9% (10.0%). FRB approval is required before ASB can pay a dividend or otherwise make a capital distribution to HEI (through ASHI).
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company considers interest-rate risk (a non-trading market risk) to be a very significant market risk for ASB as it could potentially have a significant effect on the Companys results of operations and financial condition. For additional quantitative and qualitative information about the Companys market risks, see pages 82 to 85, HEIs Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in Part II, Item 7A of HEIs 2011 Form 10-K and HECOs Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, which is incorporated into Part II, Item 7A of HECOs 2011 Form 10-K by reference to Exhibit 99.2.
ASBs interest-rate risk sensitivity measures as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 constitute forward-looking statements and were as follows:

Management believes that ASBs interest rate risk position as of September 30, 2012 represents a reasonable level of risk. Net interest income (NII) sensitivity as of September 30, 2012 was less liability sensitive for smaller increases in rates compared to December 31, 2011 due to the lower level of interest rates which increased prepayment forecasts resulting in more assets repricing over a forward-looking 12 months. In the +300 scenario, the interest income benefit from the rate increase is not fully realized until the interest rate on certain loans exceeds their floor rate.
ASBs base economic value of equity (EVE) was $804 million as of September 30, 2012 compared to $848 million as of December 31, 2011.
The change in EVE was less sensitive to rising rate scenarios as of September 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 as lower rates led to shorter durations for mortgage-related assets.
The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes on the NII sensitivity and the percentage change in EVE is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, balance changes and pricing strategies, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. To the extent market conditions and other factors vary from the assumptions used in the simulation analysis, actual results may differ materially from the simulation results. Furthermore, NII sensitivity analysis measures the change in ASBs twelve-month, pre-tax NII in alternate interest rate scenarios, and is intended to help management identify potential exposures in ASBs current balance sheet and formulate appropriate strategies for managing interest rate risk. The simulation does not contemplate any actions that ASB management might undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Further, the changes in NII vary in the twelve-month simulation period and are not necessarily evenly distributed over the period. These analyses are for analytical purposes only and do not represent managements views of future market movements, the level of future earnings, or the timing of any changes in earnings within the twelve month analysis horizon. The actual impact of changes in interest rates on NII will depend on the magnitude and speed with which rates change, actual changes in ASBs balance sheet, and managements responses to the changes in interest rates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

See HEI Exhibit 12.1 and HECO Exhibit 12.2.
B. Indemnity agreement . In 1989, the board of directors and shareholders of HEI approved a form of Indemnity Agreement (Indemnity Agreement) and authorized HEI to enter into such Indemnity Agreement with all present and future directors and each present and future officer as determined by the board of directors. Later that year, HEIs board of directors authorized HEI to enter into such Indemnity Agreements with each present and future officer of HEI.
On November 7, 2012, HEI entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and the following officers: its President and Chief Executive Officer, Constance H. Lau (also as director); Executive VP, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, James A. Ajello; Executive VP, General Counsel, Secretary and Chief Administrative Officer, Chester A. Richardson; and VP-Finance, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, David M. Kostecki. On the same day, HECO and ASB entered into indemnity agreements with each of their respective directors, including HECOs President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard M. Rosenblum, and ASBs President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard F. Wacker, as directors of their respective companies.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indemnity Agreement provides that the indemnifying company shall indemnify the indemnitee against all expenses and assessed amounts actually and reasonably incurred by indemnitee in connection with any proceeding arising out of such persons service as an officer, director or agent of the respective company. In addition, the Indemnity Agreement provides for the advancement of expenses incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any covered proceeding. The rights provided by the Indemnity Agreement are in addition to any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which the indemnitee may be entitled under applicable law, the respective companys articles of incorporation or bylaws, or otherwise.
The foregoing description of the Indemnity Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of indemnity agreement filed herewith as HEI Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference thereto.
C. Fuel oil supply contracts . HECO entered into low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) supply contracts with Chevron Products Company, a Division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., (Chevron) and Tesoro Hawaii Corporation (Tesoro) for purchases beginning May 1, 2013 since the existing contracts will expire on April 30, 2013. The contract with Chevron was signed and binding as of August 24, 2012, but HECO may terminate the contract by August 31, 2013 if HECO does not receive PUC approval of it by August 31, 2013 or if the PUCs decision is not acceptable to HECO. The foregoing description of the contract with Chevron is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the contract with Chevron filed herewith as HECO Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference thereto. The contract with Tesoro was executed on August 28, 2012, but will not become effective until the PUC approves the contract. The foregoing description of the contract with Tesoro is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the contract with Tesoro filed herewith as HECO Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference thereto. Both contracts would provide for slightly higher LSFO pricing than under the respective previous contracts.
HECO, MECO and HELCO executed a Second Amendment to Inter-Island Industrial Fuel Oil and Diesel Fuel Supply Contract with Tesoro (Second Amendment) to secure a multi-year supply of ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) to be consumed in certain reciprocating engine generating units at MECO and HELCO to enable them to comply with the EPAs final rule on Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (RICE NESHAP). These units and related fuel distribution infrastructure will begin a transition to ULSD service in the fourth quarter of 2012 in order to achieve compliance with RICE NESHAP by May 2013. HECO is not subject to RICE NESHAP, but was added to the amendment so it can purchase ULSD if necessary. This amendment has been approved by the PUC and became effective October 1, 2012. The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment filed herewith as HECO Exhibit 10.4 and incorporated herein by reference thereto.

MASTER TRUST AGREEMENT , dated as of September 4, 2012 (Effective Date), between HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, INC. (HEI), a Hawaii corporation, and AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK, F.S.B. (ASB), a federal savings bank and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of HEI, (collectively and individually, the Sponsor), having principal executive offices at 1001 Bishop Street, Suite 2900, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 and FIDELITY MANAGEMENT TRUST COMPANY , a Massachusetts trust company, having an office at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109 (the Trustee).

WHEREAS , the Plan is intended to be a plan described in section 404(c) of ERISA, under which the fiduciaries of the Plan may be relieved from liability for any loss, or with respect to any breach of Part 4, Title I of ERISA, that is the direct and necessary result of a Participants or beneficiarys exercise of control over the investments in his or her individual account; and
WHEREAS , certain affiliates and subsidiaries of the Sponsor may in the future maintain other tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plans that are subject to Title I of ERISA for the benefit of their eligible employees; and
WHEREAS , the Sponsor and the Trustee have heretofore entered into a master trust agreement dated February 1, 2000, as amended from time to time, for the custody and investment of Plan assets; and

WHEREAS , the Trustee shall maintain a separate account reflecting the equitable share of each Plan in the Trust, as defined herein, and in all investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions hereunder, and shall report the value of such equitable share at such times as may be mutually agreed upon by the Trustee and the Sponsor. Such equitable share shall be used solely for the payment of benefits, expenses and other charges properly allocable to each such Plan and shall not be used for the payment of benefits, expenses or other charges properly allocable to any other Plan; and
WHEREAS , the Sponsor also wishes to have the Trustee continue to perform certain ministerial recordkeeping and administrative functions for the Plan; and
WHEREAS , the Trustee is willing to perform recordkeeping and administrative services for the Plan if the services are ministerial in nature and are provided within a framework of Plan provisions, guidelines and interpretations conveyed in writing to the Trustee by the Administrator (as defined herein).

Section 1 Definitions

(B) Each Participant with an interest in the Stock Fund is, for purposes of this section 5(e)(ii), hereby designated as a named fiduciary (within the meaning of section 402(a)(2) of ERISA), with respect to the units allocated to his or her account that were not purchased at his or her direction, and shall have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which the Trustee is to vote or tender shares of HEI common stock attributable to the Participants interest in the Stock Fund, including the right to direct the Trustees conduct, in accordance with Section 5(e)(vi) below, by his or her failure to respond within the required time frame.

(2) If the Trustee is prohibited by the SEC, the NYSE or principal exchange on which the HEI common stock is traded, or any other regulatory body from purchasing or selling any or all of the shares required to be purchased or sold on such day,
then, under the circumstances set forth in either (1) or (2), the Trustee shall purchase or sell such shares as soon thereafter as administratively feasible.
(B) Purchases and Sales from or to Sponsor . If directed by the Sponsor in writing prior to the trading date, the Trustee may purchase or sell HEI common stock from or to the Sponsor if the purchase or sale is for adequate consideration (within the meaning of section 3(18) of ERISA) and no commission is charged. If Sponsor contributions (employer) or contributions made by the Sponsor on behalf of the Participants (employee) under the Plan are to be invested in HEI common stock, the Sponsor may transfer HEI common stock in lieu of cash to the Trust. In either case, the number of
shares to be transferred will be determined by dividing the total amount of HEI common stock to be purchased or sold by the Closing Price on the trading date. No fractional shares will be purchased or sold.

The Sponsor shall certify to the Trustee that the aforementioned materials represent the same information distributed to shareholders of HEI common stock. Based on these materials, the Trustee shall prepare a tender instruction form, and the Trustee shall provide to each Participant with an interest in HEI common stock held in the Trust a copy of all tender materials together with the foregoing tender instruction form to be returned to the Trustee or its designee. The tender instruction form shall show the number of full and fractional shares of HEI common stock that reflect the Participants proportional interest in the Stock Fund (both vested and unvested).
(2) Each Participant with an interest in the Stock Fund shall have the right to direct the Trustee to tender or not to tender some or all of the shares of HEI common stock reflecting such Participants proportional interest in the Stock Fund (both vested and unvested). Directions from a Participant to the Trustee concerning the tender of HEI common stock shall be communicated in writing, or by such other means as is agreed upon by the Trustee and the Sponsor.

The Trustee shall tender or not tender shares of HEI common stock as directed by the Participant. Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not tender shares of HEI common stock reflecting a Participants proportional interest in the Stock Fund for which it has received no direction from the Participant. The tender instruction form shall inform Participants that a Participant who does not provide direction to the Trustee with respect to the tendering of HEI common stock shall be deemed by the Participants silence to have directed the Trustee not to tender HEI common stock attributable to the Participants interest in the Stock Fund.
(3) Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall tender that number of shares of HEI common stock not credited to Participants accounts in the same proportion as the total number of shares of HEI common stock credited to Participants accounts for which it has received instructions from Participants.

Prior to the withdrawal deadline, if any shares of HEI common stock not credited to Participants accounts have been tendered, the Trustee shall redetermine the number of shares of HEI common stock that would be tendered under Section 5(e)(vi)(B)(3) if the date of the foregoing withdrawal were the date of determination, and withdraw from the tender offer the number of shares of HEI common stock not credited to Participants accounts necessary to reduce the amount of tendered HEI common stock not credited to Participants accounts to the amount so redetermined. A Participant shall not be limited as to the number of directions to tender or withdraw that the Participant may give to the Trustee.
(5) A direction by a Participant to the Trustee to tender shares of HEI common stock reflecting the Participants proportional interest in the Stock Fund shall not be considered a written election under the Plan by the Participant to withdraw, or have distributed, any or all of the Participants withdrawable shares. The Trustee shall credit to each proportional interest of the Participant from which the tendered shares were taken the proceeds received by the Trustee in exchange for the shares of HEI common stock tendered from that interest.

Any underpayment of fees or expenses by the Sponsor that is not the subject of a good-faith fee dispute shall bear interest until paid at the rate of the lesser of (i) 1½% per month or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law.
All expenses of the Trustee relating directly to the acquisition and disposition of investments constituting part of the Trust, all taxes of any kind whatsoever that may be levied or assessed under existing or future laws upon or in respect of the Trust or the income thereof, and any other reasonable expenses of Plan administration as determined and directed by the Administrator, shall be a charge against and paid from the appropriate Participants accounts, if not otherwise paid by the Sponsor in a timely manner.

Each party has a duty to mitigate the damages that would otherwise be recoverable from the other party pursuant to this Agreement by taking appropriate, commercially reasonable actions to reduce or limit the amount of such damages.
(k) Sponsor Authorization
The Sponsor understands, acknowledges and agrees that, (i) the Trustee utilizes omnibus accounts at unaffiliated banks for money movement into and out of investment options in defined contribution plans and (ii) the Trustee acts as agent for the Plan with respect to such accounts and generally invests the funds awaiting settlement of transactions or clearance of disbursements in short-term investments.
The Sponsor hereby authorizes the Trustee , in accordance with the foregoing process, to (i) commingle funds in transit to or from the Plan with other plans funds for transaction accounts, (ii) invest overnight omnibus transaction account balances in short-term investments, (iii) use float earnings to pay bank fees and make other required adjustments and (iv) subject to disclosure from the Trustee with respect to the retention of float earnings that meets the requirements of ERISA, retain net float earnings attributable to the Plan. However, under no circumstances shall the Trustee make investments that contravene the rules of ERISA or federal tax rules that govern the tax qualification of the Plan. The Trustee shall be responsible for paying any bank fees that are not covered by earnings generated by the omnibus accounts.
For purposes of the foregoing, net float earnings shall be determined by subtracting from gross float earnings any fees charged by the banks in connection with such accounts. Gross float earnings will also be subject to adjustments arising in connection with an omnibus trading process.
Neither the Sponsor nor the Plan shall be liable for any diminution in the value of such overnight investments. Provided that the Sponsor has provided timely funding, neither the Sponsor nor the Plan shall be responsible for any failure to settle or clear from such omnibus accounts any proper or timely trade or disbursement if such failure results from a decrease in the value or temporary inaccessibility of funds attributable to either the use of a specific bank or the overnight investment of balances from such accounts.
Section 21 No Assignment or Alienation of Benefits
Except as otherwise required by a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code, or as otherwise permitted under section 401(a)(13) of the Code, the benefits or proceeds of any allocated or unallocated portion of the assets of the Trust and any interest of any Participant arising out of or created by the Plan either before or after the Participants retirement shall not be subject to execution, attachment, garnishment or other legal or judicial process whatsoever by any person, whether creditor or otherwise, claiming against such Participant. Except as provided under section 401(a)(13) of the Code, no Participant shall have the right to alienate, encumber or assign any of the payments or proceeds or any other interest arising out of or created by the Plan, and any action purporting to do so shall be void. The provisions of this Section shall apply to all Participants regardless of their citizenship or place of residence.
Section 22 Governing Law
(a) Massachusetts Law Controls
This Agreement is being made in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the Trust shall be administered as a Massachusetts trust. The validity, construction, effect and administration of this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except to the extent those laws are superseded under section 514 of ERISA.
(b) Trust Agreement Controls

This Agreement shall be construed and administered consistent with such intent. The Trustee shall comply with all laws applicable to it as a provider of the services hereunder, including without limitation the requirements of ERISA applicable to a directed trustee. The Trustee further represents that its operations, employment and general business practices are in compliance with all laws applicable to the Trustee, which includes the provision of any disclosures that may be required of the Trustee in regulations issued under ERISA section 408(b)(2).
Section 24 Plan Qualification
The Sponsor hereby represents that (1) the Plan is intended to be qualified under section 401(a) of the Code, and the Trust established hereunder is intended to be tax-exempt under section 501(a) of the Code, and (2) to the extent Participants are able to instruct the investment of their individual accounts, the Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements set forth in section 404(c) of ERISA and related regulations.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Sponsor has the sole responsibility for ensuring the Plans qualified status and full compliance with the applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code. The Sponsor shall take appropriate actions to file with the IRS, as and when required, determination letter requests and make such reasonable changes to the Plan document as are suggested by the IRS as being necessary for maintaining the Plans qualified status. The Sponsor shall provide copies of any updated determination letters with respect to the Plan to the Trustee. If any Plan ceases to be qualified within the meaning of section 401(a) of the Code, the Sponsor shall notify the Trustee as promptly as is reasonable. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall promptly segregate and withdraw from the Trust the assets which are allocable to such disqualified Plan and shall dispose of such assets in the manner directed by the Sponsor.
In that the assets are in part invested in common stock issued by the Sponsor or an affiliate, the Sponsor further represents that its legal counsel has confirmed that (i) the Plan is an eligible individual account plan (as defined under section 407(d)(3) of ERISA), (ii) the shares of common stock of the Company held and to be purchased under the Plan are qualifying employer securities (as defined under section 407(d)(5) of ERISA) and (iii) interests in the Plan are not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or, if such registration is required, that such interests are effectively registered under said Act.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF , the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written. By signing below, the undersigned represent that they are authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of the respective parties. Each party may rely without duty of inquiry on the foregoing representation.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the obligation to make these 12b-1 Payments with respect to any plan may be terminated without penalty at any time, upon either a vote of a majority of the Qualified Trustees, or upon a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the applicable Fidelity Mutual Fund to terminate or not continue the plan for the applicable Fidelity Mutual Fund.

If there is more than one Plan for which Performance Payments are made, the amounts for each Plan will be held and accounted for in separate Performance Accounts.

(C) Payments to Third Parties : Nothing in this subsection (a)(iii) shall obligate the Trustee to make payments to any entity other than the Sponsor under the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the Trustee approval, the Administrator or Named Fiduciary may request and the Trustee may agree to pay third party vendor invoices subject to the terms of the Performance Account Procedures herein, and in accordance with separate letter of direction from the Administrator or Named Fiduciary to the Trustee.

Neither the Trustee nor any of its affiliates shall have any responsibility to make or verify any certification provided by the Administrator or Named Fiduciary under this subsection (a)(iv). The Sponsor acknowledges that reasonable, necessary and direct expenses of the Plan shall not include any operating expenses paid by Mutual Fund shareholders generally that are reflected in the net asset values of such Mutual Fund shares held by the Plan.
(v) Any debits or payments pursuant to section (b) shall be limited to the amount of the Performance Account for the Plan at the time the direction is submitted to the Trustee, and shall be subject to the Performance Payment Procedures set forth below in section (b).
(vi) A Performance Payment cannot be used to offset, reimburse or pay: (i) expenses that have been deducted from Participant accounts; (ii) expenses that are accrued in the net asset value or mil rate of an investment option; or (iii) fees for Fidelity-provided investment management services.

For purposes of Participant Revenue Credit (PRC) allocations only, Eligible Participant means any participant or beneficiary (exclusive of those with Status Codes listed on the separate letter of direction provided by the Named Fiduciary or Administrator to the Trustee) with a balance greater than zero on the business day immediately preceding the Crediting Date (as defined below). Status Codes describe various populations of participants that can be excluded, at Sponsor direction, from the process to allocate Revenue Credit to participant accounts.
Payment to Third Parties
(a) Upon receipt of payment instructions In Good Order from an authorized signer for the Administrator or Named Fiduciary, the Trustee shall redeem shares or units of investment options held in the Revenue Credit Account necessary to make such payments, and shall issue payment as soon as administratively feasible thereafter (typically within 5 business days).
(b) The Trustee shall have no obligation to process payment instructions that alone, or in aggregate with other instructions issued on the same date or already pending, exceed the amount of the Revenue Credit Account. The Trustee will promptly notify the Named Fiduciary and/or Administrator if the direction is not In Good Order or if the payment has been returned, but it shall be the responsibility of the party providing the direction to correct and resubmit any requested payment instructions.
(c) The Revenue Credit Account may not be used to offset, reimburse or pay: (i) expenses that have been deducted from participant accounts; or (ii) expenses that are accrued in the net asset value or mil rate of an investment option.
(d) The directing party shall have the sole responsibility to issue timely payment instructions. The Trustee is not responsible for any late charges, interest or penalties that may accrue owing to untimely submission to the Trustee of directions In Good Order. The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating amounts owed for any Plan payment (other than amounts owed to the Trustee or its affiliates) and shall not use amounts held in the Revenue Credit Account to defray amounts requiring calculation (such as late charges, interest or penalties) unless such charges have been calculated and included in a specific amount the Trustee has been directed to pay.
(e) Directions to make payment from the Revenue Credit Account shall be submitted through the Trustees internet application for Sponsors.
Payment to the Trustee
The Administrator or Named Fiduciary may direct the Trustee to use Revenue Credits, to the extent available, to pay invoices for the Trustee provided services that are necessary to the operation of the Plan.

(c) Investment of PRC among Eligible Participant Accounts : The PRC allocation shall be invested in an Eligible Participants account in accordance with the direction provided by the Named Fiduciary or Administrator to the Trustee , In Good Order, via a letter of direction (or such other method of direction acceptable to the Trustee). Such direction shall apply to each PRC allocation directed by the Named Fiduciary or Administrator, unless the Named Fiduciary or Administrator provides a superseding direction to the Trustee, In Good Order, via a letter of direction (or such other method of direction acceptable to the Trustee) contemporaneously with the Named Fiduciary or Administrators submission of a service request described in (1) above.

Description |
Adjustment Methodology |
|
A Pass/Fail method will be employed when non-performance triggers an adjustment. Under this method, any measure below the performance standard will trigger full payment of the full amount of the percent of the fees assigned to the standard.
For example:
Issue Resolution standard = 90% of work items will be resolved within 5 business days.
If Fees at risk = 1% ( example )
When only 89.9% of work items are resolved within 5 business days, this would be determined to be a Fail and the full 1% of recordkeeping/administration fees would be credited on a subsequent invoice. |
Business Day |
|
Business day is defined as any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. |
Calculation of Adjustment |
|
Failure to perform against standard, (as determined during the quarterly evaluation) will trigger an adjustment against that quarters proportion of the annual per participant recordkeeping/administration fees. |
Exclusions Circumstances Beyond Fidelitys Control |
|
Standards that are not met for reasons outside of Fidelitys control are excluded from any calculation of fees at risk. |
Exclusions Volatility |
|
Service level agreements will be suspended when unusual market or employer activity leads to unanticipated volume increases (10% above normal volumes). |
Operations and Issue Resolution Minimum Number of Work Items |
|
If the number of work items for a specific client falls below 100 items per quarter, fees at risk will be suspended. |
Payment |
|
Payments will be made in accordance with the Performance Payments Procedures in Schedule B. |
Reporting |
|
Fidelity will measure standards monthly and report on a quarterly basis by averaging scores. |
Weighting & Caps |
|
The weighting of individual performance measures will be determined by dividing the total amount of fees at risk (10%) by the number of performance measurement standards. No individual standard will be weighted more than 1% except in the case that there are fewer than 10 standards. The sum total of all individual standards will not exceed 10%. |
HEI Exhibit 10.1
FORM OF INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
This Indemnity Agreement (Agreement) is made as of , 20 , by and between Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (Company), and (Indemnitee), an officer and/or director of the Company.
Recitals
A. Indemnitee is currently serving as an officer and/or director of the Company and in such capacity has rendered valuable services to the Company.
B. Section 414-250 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act provides that indemnification by a Hawaii corporation of directors, officers and others which is authorized by that section shall not be exclusive of any other right to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, and paragraph (f) of Article Twelfth of the Companys Articles of Incorporation provides that the right to indemnification as provided in Article Twelfth shall not be exclusive of any other right to which those seeking indemnification or those indemnified may be entitled.
C. The above statutory provision and the above provision of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company specifically provide that they are not exclusive and thereby contemplate that agreements may be entered into between the Company and directors and officers of the Company with respect to indemnification.
D. In order to induce experienced and capable persons such as Indemnitee to serve, or continue to serve, as an officer and/or director of the Company, the Board of Directors has determined, after due consideration and investigation of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the various other options available to the Company and Indemnitee in lieu hereof, that this Agreement is reasonable and prudent and necessary and appropriate to promote and ensure the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the services of Indemnitee and in order to induce Indemnitee to serve, or continue to serve, as an officer and/or director of the Company, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement:
(a) Assessed Amounts include, without limitation, the amount of any judgments, fines, penalties, ERISA excise taxes or other amounts of any nature whatsoever assessed or levied against Indemnitee in, arising out of or otherwise with respect to any Proceeding. The term Assessed Amounts does not include Expenses.
(b) Expenses include, without limitation, all expenses of any nature in connection with any Proceeding, attorneys fees, disbursements and retainers, accounting and witness fees, travel and deposition costs, expenses of investigations, judicial or administrative proceedings and appeals, amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee, and any
expenses of establishing a right to indemnification, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, including reasonable compensation for time spent by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of a Proceeding or action for indemnification for which Indemnitee is not otherwise compensated by the Company or any third party. The term Expenses does not include Assessed Amounts.
(c) Proceeding includes, without limitation, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, formal or informal, whether brought in the name of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal or administrative or investigative nature, and includes all appeals, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer and/or director of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, whether or not Indemnitee is serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or reimbursement is to be provided under this Agreement.
2. Indemnification. Subject only to the exceptions provided for in Section 6 of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any Proceeding as a witness or participant or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding, including a Proceeding by or in the name of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer and/or director of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise) against all Expenses and Assessed Amounts actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding, including, without limitation, the defense or settlement of any such Proceeding; provided that any settlement of a Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the name of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) be approved in writing by the Company.
3. Advances of Expenses. The Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in any Proceeding shall be paid promptly by the Company in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding at the written request of Indemnitee; provided that Indemnitee shall undertake in writing to repay any such advances if a final judgment or other final adjudication by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.
4. Partial Indemnification. If a final judgment or other final adjudication by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that Indemnitee is entitled under this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for only a portion of the Expenses or Assessed Amounts actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount of Indemnitees Expenses or Assessed Amounts, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of Expenses or Assessed Amounts to which Indemnitee is entitled.
5. Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof in writing;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any right of Indemnitee (1) to any advance or indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Company may be prejudiced by the failure of Indemnitee to give such notice, but then only to the extent of such prejudice, or (2) to release the Company from any obligation to indemnify Indemnitee which the Company may otherwise have to Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably require and as shall be within the Indemnitees power.
(b) If a claim for indemnification or advances under this Agreement is not paid by the Company within 30 days of receipt of written notice, the rights provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Hawaii. The Company shall have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advances under the Agreement.
(c) Indemnitees Expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding concerning Indemnitees right to indemnification or advances in whole or in part pursuant to this Agreement shall also be indemnified by the Company regardless of the outcome of such a Proceeding.
(d) With respect to any Proceeding for which indemnification is requested, the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and, except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent that it may wish, the Company may assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Company and approved by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Proceeding, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any Expense subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, except as otherwise provided herein. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitees own counsel in any Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense of the Proceeding shall be at the expense of Indemnitee, unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of a Proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of a Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of Indemnitees counsel shall be advanced by the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee.
6. Exceptions to Indemnification. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to pay any amount or otherwise be obligated under this Agreement:
(a) To indemnify or advance funds to Indemnitee for Expenses with respect to Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to Proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement, but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors of the Company determines it to be appropriate;
(b) To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses or Assessed Amounts in any Proceeding for which payment is actually made to Indemnitee under a valid and collectible insurance policy, except in respect of any excess beyond the amount of payment under such insurance policy;
(c) To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses or Assessed Amounts in any Proceeding to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under an insurance policy or otherwise) of amounts otherwise indemnified or payable hereunder;
(d) To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses or Assessed Amounts in any Proceeding for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal or state statute;
(e) To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses or Assessed Amounts in any Proceeding on account of Indemnitees conduct which is determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication by a court having jurisdiction in the matter to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or a result of willful misconduct; or
(f) If a final judgment or other final adjudication by a court having jurisdiction in the matter finally determines that indemnification hereunder is not permitted by law.
7. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
8. Indemnification Not Exclusive; Additional Indemnification. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, provision of Hawaii law, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitees official capacity and as to action in another capacity on behalf of the Company while holding such office.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Companys Articles of Incorporation, the Companys By-Laws or by statute. In the event of any changes after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which expand the right of a Hawaii corporation to indemnify its directors or officers or other person serving in a capacity set forth in Section 2, the Indemnitees rights and the Companys obligations under this Agreement shall be expanded to the full extent permitted by such changes. In the event of any changes in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrow the right of a Hawaii corporation to indemnify a director or officer or other person serving in any capacity as provided in Section 2,
such changes to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties rights and obligations hereunder.
9. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Hawaii for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall be brought only in a state court of the State of Hawaii.
10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitees heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, whether or not Indemnitee has ceased to be a director or officer, and the Company and its successors and assigns.
11. Severability. Each and every provision of this Agreement is separate and distinct so that, if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. To the extent required, any provision of this Agreement may be modified by a court having jurisdiction of the matter to preserve its validity and to provide Indemnitee with the broadest possible indemnification permitted under Hawaii law.
12. Savings Clause. If this Agreement or any provision hereof is invalidated on any ground by any court having jurisdiction of the matter, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to any Expenses and Assessed Amounts incurred with respect to any Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable provision of this Agreement that has not been invalidated or by any other applicable provision of Hawaii law.
13. Interpretation; Governing Law. Headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in construing meaning. This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii. It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law.
14. Amendments. No amendment, waiver, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by the parties against whom enforcement is sought. The indemnification rights afforded to Indemnitee hereby are contract rights and may not be diminished, eliminated or otherwise affected by amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws or by other agreements, including insurance policies.

Title and risk of loss of such LSFO, [ - - - ] and [ - - - ] shall pass to HECO where Refinery pipelines interconnect with HECOs BPTF pipelines at the point where the pipelines intersect the boundary line between the Refinery property and HECOs BPTF property.
(B) [ - - - ].
7.2 Determination of Quality .
(A) The quality and BTU content of the LSFO Delivered by Pipeline Delivery to HECO shall be determined on the basis of a volumetric weighted average composite of samples drawn from Chevrons issuing tank(s) at the Refinery in such a manner as to be representative of each individual Pipeline Delivery ( Tank Final Sample ).
(B) The Tank Final Sample shall be divided into a minimum of three (3) parts as follows:
(1) One part shall be provided to the Refinerys laboratory for analysis to determine BTU content per barrel and quality determination.
(2) One part shall be provided to HECOs laboratory for analysis to determine BTU content per barrel and for the purpose of verifying Chevrons determinations.
(3) At least one part shall be sealed and retained by the Independent Inspector for a period of not less than three (3) months.
(C) Chevron agrees to provide HECO and the Independent Inspector each with a copy of Chevrons Certificate of Quality representing the Tank Final Sample and shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide such quality documentation no later than the day of the completion of the Pipeline Delivery. If the completed Certificate of Quality is not available the day of the completion of the Pipeline Delivery, Chevron will advise HECO and the Independent Inspector, by the day of the completion of the Pipeline Delivery, the final determination of API gravity, flash point, sulfur content and sediment and water representing the Tank Final Sample.
(D) The official BTU content determination shall be based upon an average of Chevrons and HECOs laboratory analyses, provided that such analyses fall within the ASTM reproducibility standard (currently 0.4 MJ/kg which the parties shall deem to be equivalent to a fixed standard of 60,000 BTU per barrel) for Test D 240. Chevron and HECO will make commercially reasonable efforts to evaluate the BTU content of the Tank Final Sample and exchange results within three (3) Business Days. In the event the difference between HECOs and Chevrons laboratory determination of BTU content falls outside said reproducibility standard, the sealed part of the Tank Final Sample in the possession of the Independent Inspector shall be provided to an independent testing laboratory for an official determination, which shall be final. In cases of disagreement or excessive delays in HECOs determination of BTU content, Chevron shall have the right to invoice the sale using a provisional BTU content of [ - - - ]
[ - - - ] with any required adjustments made after final determination is made. Chevron and HECO shall share equally the cost of independent tests and determinations.
(E) [ - - - ].
7.3 Measurement of Quantity .
(A) Quantities of LSFO [ - - - ] shipped between the facilities by pipeline including quantities of same Delivered by Pipeline Delivery hereunder shall be determined at the time of the Pipeline Delivery by gauging Chevrons tanks before and after pumping under the supervision of the Independent Inspector. Quantities of LSFO [ - - - ] pumped, sold or Delivered by Chevron and purchased or received by HECO hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the current measurement standards adopted by industry, ASTM, API and other recognized standard-setting bodies as are applicable in the opinion of the Independent Inspector and shall be expressed in G.S.V., U.S. barrels at 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
(B) Both HECO and Chevron agree that if measurement of Chevrons tanks is, in the opinion of the Independent Inspector, considered to have been rendered inaccurate for any reason including, but not limited to operational constraints, physical loss of LSFO [ - - - ] or inadvertent transfer of LSFO [ - - - ] within Chevrons facilities, then the quantity of LSFO [ - - - ] may be determined by gauging HECOs tanks before and after pumping under the supervision of the Independent Inspector.
7.4 Disputes Regarding Quality .
(A) If either Chevron or HECO has reason to believe that the quality of LSFO [ - - - ] stated for a particular Pipeline Delivery or Marine Delivery per Article 7 or Article 8 is incorrect, that party shall within sixty (60) days after the issuance date of the complete Certificate of Quality, present the other party with documents supporting such dispute and the parties will confer on the causes for the discrepancy and shall proceed to correct such causes and adjust the quality, if justified, for the
Pipeline Delivery or Marine Delivery in question. In the event of an unresolved difference between Chevron and HECO, the sealed part of the relevant sample in the possession of the Independent Inspector shall be provided to an independent testing laboratory for an official determination, which shall be final. Chevron and HECO shall share equally the cost for such independent laboratory determination.
(B) If the quality of the LSFO received by HECO from Chevron fails to conform to specifications in Article 4 of this Contract, both Chevron and HECO shall minimize, if possible, the impact of any quality problem on HECO by specification waiver if the use of the LSFO will not cause harm to HECO, or by Chevron Delivering higher quality LSFO in a timely manner to produce a specification quality blend in HECOs receiving and storage tank(s) containing the non-specification LSFO. If all such, and similar, efforts fail to resolve the quality problem, then HECO may return non-specification LSFO to Chevron, in which case Chevron shall replace the non-specification LSFO in a timely manner. All costs and expenses, including HECOs handling costs incurred in returning and replacing non-specification LSFO, shall be paid by Chevron.
7.5 Independent Inspection . Chevron and HECO will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all measurements taken and determinations made with respect to the provisions of this Contract shall be under the supervision of an Independent Inspector, and the costs thereof shall be shared equally by Chevron and HECO. If, in the interest of time, Chevron personnel rather than the Independent Inspector take measurements, such measuring shall be performed in accordance with accepted industry standards approved by an Independent Inspector.
8. MARINE DELIVERY
8.1 Notification of Marine Delivery . Chevron shall provide HECO with updates on the anticipated arrival date of its vessel and expected date for commencing the Marine Delivery and otherwise comply with the notice provisions of Section 3.2(b) and Section 3.2 (c) herein.
8.2 [ - - - ]

completion of the Pipeline Delivery. If the completed Certificate of Quality is not available within said 24-hour period, SELLER will advise HECO and the Independent Inspector, within said 24-hour period, will provide the final determination of API gravity, flash point, sulfur content and sediment and water representing the Tank Final Sample.
(h) HECO shall have the right to perform laboratory analyses in order to verify the results of SELLERs laboratory analyses; provided however, that such verification analyses shall be performed in a timely manner. SELLER and HECO will make reasonable good faith efforts to evaluate BTU Content and exchange results within three (3) business days of the completion of the Pipeline Delivery.
(i) In order to eliminate or minimize the volume of SELLERs [ - - - ] received by HECO in the course of a Pipeline Delivery operation, HECO shall have the option to perform a Reverse Line Displacement whereby SELLERs [ - - - ] is displaced to SELLER using HECOs Product at the commencement of Pipeline Delivery operations.
(j) If HECO elects not to commence Pipeline Delivery operations by displacing SELLERs [ - - - ] with HECOs LSFO, or if such displacement is operationally unfeasible or impractical for any other cause, SELLER and HECO recognize that the Product received by HECO in a Pipeline Delivery may be a blend which includes some amount of SELLERs [ - - - ] (Pipeline Blend). In such instance, the specification of SELLERs [ - - - ] shall be determined by SELLER on the basis of SELLERs samples representative of the contents of the storage tank from which SELLERs [ - - - ] was issued. SELLER agrees to provide HECO, HECOs representative and the Independent Inspector with a copy of its laboratory analysis of the quality of SELLERs [ - - - ] prior to commencing the Pipeline Delivery.
(k) To provide an early warning of any quality problems with the Product Delivered via a Pipeline Blend, SELLER agrees to perform a pre-shipment computer blend simulation representing the quantity and quality of SELLERs Product from the issuing tank(s) as indicated in the relevant Certificates of Quality or preliminary laboratory analyses of the Tank Final Samples and the quantity and quality of SELLERs [ - - - ] as indicated in the relevant laboratory analyses. The computer blend simulation shall provide preliminary confirmation of the Pipeline Blends conformance with the limits for API gravity, viscosity and percent by weight sulfur content specified in Article IV (Quality). SELLER agrees to provide HECO or HECOs representative and the Independent Inspector a copy of the computer blend simulation results prior to shipment. SELLER agrees that under no circumstances shall it make a Pipeline Delivery of Product to HECO should the computer blend simulation or any other information available to SELLER indicate a quality problem with the Pipeline Blend that would cause a Pipeline Delivery to not conform to the Specifications, without HECOs express written permission.
(l) The quantity of Product in a Pipeline Delivery shall be determined at the time of each Pipeline Delivery by gauging SELLERs issuing tank(s) immediately before and after pumping under the supervision of the Independent Inspector. Should HECO elect to perform a Reverse Line Displacement, the total quantity of Product Delivered to HECO shall be reduced by
reference to the rise in SELLERs tank(s) receiving SELLERs [ - - - ], determined by gauging such tank(s) immediately before and after pipeline displacement under the supervision of the Independent Inspector. Both HECO and SELLER agree that if measurement of SELLERs tank(s) is, in the opinion of the Independent Inspector, considered to have been rendered inaccurate for reasons including, but not limited to, operational constraints or inadvertent transfer of Product or of SELLERs [ - - - ] within SELLERs facilities, then the quantity of Product or SELLERs [ - - - ] may be determined by gauging HECOs receiving tank(s) before and after pumping under the supervision of the Independent Inspector.
(m) Quantities of Product sold and Delivered by SELLER and purchased and received by HECO hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the current measurement standards adopted by industry, ASTM, API and other recognized standard-setting bodies as are applicable in the opinion of the Independent Inspector and shall be expressed in G.S.V., U.S. Barrels @ 60 DF.

Samples shall be split into three composites, and one shall be delivered to and tested by SELLER, one shall be delivered to and tested by HECO, and one shall be preserved by the Independent Inspector. Testing of samples will take place at an analytical laboratory of each Partys choosing.
(f) All samples, measurements and determinations referenced in this Section 6.7 (Marine Delivery) shall be drawn, taken and made, respectively, under the supervision of the Independent Inspector. SELLER and HECO shall share equally the cost of independent inspections.
(g) In order to reduce the likelihood of SELLERs Marine Delivery resulting in quality problems arising in the receiving tank(s) at HECOs BPTF, SELLER agrees to test a volumetric weighted average composite of samples of the relevant marine cargo of Product, or component thereof (Precautionary Sample). The Precautionary Sample shall be drawn under the supervision of the Independent Inspector from SELLERs vessels tanks in such a manner as to be representative of the relevant cargo after the arrival of the vessel at Kalaeloa Harbor, but prior to commencement of the Marine Delivery, SELLER agrees that should its laboratory, or a laboratory mutually acceptable to SELLER and HECO, testing of the Precautionary Sample indicate a potential quality problem, including but not limited to, a quality as determined which
materially differs from that specified on the port of loading quality document or does not conform to the quality specification limits in Article IV (Quality), the vessel operator shall not be instructed to commence Delivery of its cargo to HECOs BPTF until such time as the loaded Product or component thereof is determined to meet the port of loading quality specifications or is otherwise in conformity with the specification limits in Article IV (Quality). Attachment C lists the testing to be performed on Precautionary Sample.
(h) The quality and BTU Content of the Product Delivered by Marine Delivery shall be determined on the basis of a volumetric weighted average composite of samples drawn by the Independent Inspector from the vessels tank(s) in such a manner as to be representative of the entire Marine Delivery (Vessel Tank Final Sample).

If the completed Certificate of Quality is not available within said 24-hour period, SELLER will advise HECO and the independent Inspector, within said 24-hour period, will provide the final determination of API gravity, flash point, sulfur content and sediment and water representing the Vessel Tank Final Sample.
(k) HECO shall have the right to perform laboratory analyses in order to verify the results of SELLERs laboratory analyses; provided however, that such verification analyses shall be performed in a timely manner. SELLER and HECO will make reasonable good faith efforts to evaluate BTU Content and exchange results within three (3) working days of SELLERs laboratory determining the Product Delivered by Marine Delivery is in conformance with the specification limits in Article IV (Quality).
(l) Quantities of the Product Delivered via a Marine Delivery hereunder shall be determined at the time of each Marine Delivery by gauging HECOs tank(s) immediately before and after pumping under the supervision of the Independent Inspector. If there is Reverse Line Displacement involved in a Marine Delivery, then the Quantities may be further adjusted in accordance with Paragraph 6.6(l), as appropriate.
(m) Quantities of Product sold and Delivered by SELLER and purchased and received by HECO hereunder shall be calculated in accordance with the current measurement standards adopted by industry, ASTM, API and other recognized standard-setting bodies as are applicable in the opinion of the Independent Inspector and shall be expressed in G.S.V., U.S. Barrels @ 60 DF.
Section 6.8: Disputes Regarding Quality or Quantity.
(a) Quantity Disputes . If HECO or SELLER has reason to believe that the quantity of Product for a particular Delivery is incorrect, the Party shall, as promptly as reasonably possible, but no later than within thirty (30) Days of the date of Delivery, present the other Party with documentation supporting such determination, and the Parties will confer, in good faith, on the causes for the discrepancy and shall proceed to correct such causes and adjust the quantity, if justified, for the Delivery in question as specified in Section 6.6 (Pipeline Delivery) or Section 6.7 (Marine Delivery).
(b) Quality Disputes .
(1) SELLER shall provide HECO with a Certificate of Quality of each batch or Marine Shipment of Product Delivered by the SELLER. For Marine Deliveries, such Certificate shall conform to the one provided to SELLER by its supplier of LSFO. Final determination of quality shall be made as otherwise provided herein.
(2) The official BTU Content determination shall be as reported in SELLERs Certificate of Quality, provided that the arithmetic difference between SELLERs and HECOs laboratory results is equal to or less than the then existing ASTM reproducibility standard (currently 0.4 MJ/kg, which the Parties shall deem to be equivalent to a fixed standard of 60,000 BTU per Barrel) for test D-4868. If the difference between SELLERs and HECOs determinations of BTU Content should fall outside the ASTM reproducibility standard for ASTM test D-4868 the sealed sample in the possession of the Independent Inspector shall be provided to a mutually acceptable independent laboratory for an official determination, which shall be binding upon the Parties. SELLER and HECO shall share equally the costs of independent tests and determinations.
(3) If SELLER or HECO has reason to believe that the quality of Product stated for a specific Delivery fails to conform to the Specification in Article IV (Quality) or Attachment A of this Contract, that Party shall as promptly as reasonably possible, but no later than within thirty (30) Days of the later of the date of the completed Certificate of Quality or the date of the final determination of BTU Content, present the other Party with documents supporting such determination and the Parties will confer, in good faith, on the causes for the discrepancy and shall proceed to correct such causes and adjust the quality, if justified, for the Delivery in question. In the event of an unresolved difference between SELLER and HECO, the sealed part of the representative sample in the possession of the Independent Inspector shall be provided to an independent laboratory for an official determination, which shall be final. SELLER and HECO shall share equally the cost for such independent laboratory determination.
(4) If the quality of the Product received by HECO fails to conform to the quality Specification in Article IV (Quality) or Attachment A of this Contract, both HECO and SELLER shall attempt to minimize the impact of any quality problem. At HECOs reasonable discretion, such efforts may include a Specification waiver if the use of the Product will not unreasonably cause harm to HECO. Or, SELLER may attempt to remedy the quality problem by Delivering higher quality Product in a timely manner to produce a Specification quality blend in HECOs storage tank(s) at HECOs BPTF or at HECOs Oahu generating plants. If all such and similar efforts fail to resolve the quality problem, then HECO may return non-Specification Product to SELLER, in which case SELLER shall replace the non-Specification Product by Delivering an equal volume of HECO verified on-Specification Product to HECO in a timely manner. Notwithstanding the preceding, HECO shall always have the right to refuse Delivery of any Product with prior written notice to SELLER or its permitted agents if HECO in good faith shall have reason to believe that the LSFO tendered for Delivery does not meet the Specification. Such Notice shall provide a full explanation of the basis for HECOs belief that the LSFO so tendered does not meet Contract Specifications, together with appropriate documentation of the testing that determined that it is off-Specification. If SELLER disputes HECOs analysis, then SELLER shall promptly notify HECO, and the Parties shall proceed to determine the quality in accordance with Section 6.8(b)(3) above. HECO may, at its option, seek other supplies of LSFO if in HECOs reasonable discretion the Delivery of non-conforming LSFO may not be remedied in time to prevent a possible interruption of HECOs operations. All costs and expenses of remedying the Delivery of non-conforming LSFO, or arising from non-conforming LSFO (including, without limitation, the testing, transportation, re-refining, and handling costs incurred in returning, replacing or otherwise correcting off-Specification LSFO, the emptying and cleaning of storage tanks containing non-conforming LSFO shall be paid by SELLER. Any remedy of non-conforming LSFO accepted by HECO under this Section 6.8 (Disputes Regarding Quality or Quantity) shall not operate or be construed to remedy any similar non-conforming LSFO or to change the Specification of LSFO acceptable to HECO under the terms of this Contract.
Section 6.9: Records/Right to Audit. SELLER shall retain any and all documents and records regarding the Delivery, quantity and quality of Product sold and purchased under the terms of this Contract for the twelve (12) Months after the date of the invoice for such Product, or until any dispute regarding such Delivery, quantity and quality is resolved. SELLER shall promptly make such records available for review to HECO at its request.
Section 6.10: Inspection. HECO may be represented and participate in all sampling, quality, inspection, measurements and tests of Product which may be conducted pursuant to this Contract and to inspect any equipment owned or controlled by SELLER and used in determining the quantity, quality or heat content of Product, provided that any such participation by HECO shall not materially interfere with or otherwise disrupt such inspection, measurement and tests conducted by SELLER. HECO may, upon reasonable notice to SELLER and during normal business hours and at HECOs expense, inspect and audit any sample analysis of Product, including records and data used in the preparation of such analysis.
Section 6.11: Independent Inspector. HECO and SELLER shall agree on a list of
Independent Inspectors which shall be attached hereto as Attachment D - Independent Inspectors List containing the names of Independent Inspectors which both Parties agree are fully qualified to perform the Independent Inspector functions under this Section 6.11 (Independent Inspector).

For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings represent the sum of (i) pretax income before preferred stock dividends of HECO and before adjustment for undistributed income or loss from equity investees and (ii) fixed charges (as hereinafter defined, but excluding the allowance for borrowed funds used during construction). Fixed charges represent the sum of (i) interest, whether capitalized or expensed, (ii) amortization of debt expense and discount or premium related to any indebtedness, whether capitalized or expensed, (iii) the estimate of the interest within rental expense and (iv) the preferred stock dividend requirements of HELCO and MECO, increased to an amount representing the pretax earnings required to cover such dividend requirements.
