ITEM 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously disclosed in the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K
filed on March 21, 2003, the Registrant's Form 12b-25 filed on March 21, 2003,
and the Registrant's Form 12b-25 filed on April 30, 2003, on March 21, 2003
Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian Airlines"), the sole operating subsidiary
of the Registrant, filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11 Filing") in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Hawaii (the "Bankruptcy
Court") (Case No. 03-00827).
On May 20, 2004, Hawaiian Airlines filed its unaudited Monthly Operating
Report for the month of April 2004 (the "Operating Report") with the
Bankruptcy Court. Pursuant to the Registrant's disclosure contained in the
Registrant's Form 12b-25 that was filed on August 14, 2003, the Registrant is
furnishing the Operating Report as an exhibit to this Form 8-K. Exhibit 99.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K contains a copy of the Operating Report as
filed with the Bankruptcy Court. The Operating Report shall not be deemed
"filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth
in such filing.
THE OPERATING REPORT HAS NOT BEEN PREPARED BY THE REGISTRANT OR REVIEWED
BY THE REGISTRANT PRIOR TO ITS SUBMISSION TO THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, CONTAINS
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION THAT HAVE NOT BEEN
AUDITED OR REVIEWED BY INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS, IS NOT PRESENTED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO FUTURE
RECONCILIATION OR ADJUSTMENTS. THE REGISTRANT OBTAINED THE OPERATING REPORT
FROM COUNSEL TO HAWAIIAN AIRLINES AS SUCH COUNSEL INDICATED SUCH REPORT HAD
BEEN FILED WITH THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. THE REGISTRANT HAS NO MEANS TO
INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE OPERATING REPORT, OTHER
THAN BY COMPARISON TO THE OPERATING REPORT AS RECEIVED BY THE REGISTRANT FROM
COUNSEL TO HAWAIIAN AIRLINES. THE OPERATING REPORT MAY ALSO CONTAIN
INFORMATION FOR PERIODS THAT ARE SHORTER OR OTHERWISE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE
CONTAINED IN THE REGISTRANT'S REPORTS REQUIRED TO BE MADE PURSUANT TO THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED. THE REGISTRANT MAKES NO
REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER AS TO ANY OF THE INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THE OPERATING REPORT. FOR THESE REASONS, THE REGISTRANT CAUTIONS
READERS NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE
OPERATING REPORT. THE OPERATING REPORT IS BEING PROVIDED SOLELY FOR
INFORMATION PURPOSES.
This current report on Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
that reflect the current views of the Registrant with respect to certain
current and future events and financial performance. Such forward-looking
statements are and will be, as the case may be, subject to many risks,
uncertainties and factors relating to the operations and business environments
of the Registrant and Hawaiian Airlines that may cause the actual results of
the Registrant and Hawaiian Airlines to be materially different from any
future results, expressed or implied, in such forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: the
ability of the Registrant and Hawaiian Airlines to continue as a going
concern; the ability of Hawaiian Airlines to obtain court approval with
respect to motions in the Chapter 11 proceeding prosecuted by it from time to
time; the ability of Hawaiian Airlines to develop, prosecute, confirm and
consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11
case; risks associated with third parties seeking to propose and confirm one
or more plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 case; risks
associated with the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee and the ability of the
Chapter 11 trustee to successfully manage the day-to-day operations of
Hawaiian Airlines; risks associated with the Chapter 11 trustee or third
parties seeking to convert the case to a Chapter 7 case; the ability of
Hawaiian Airlines to obtain and maintain normal terms with vendors and service
providers; the ability of Hawaiian Airlines to maintain contracts that are
critical to its operations; the potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11
case on the liquidity or results of operations of the Registrant and Hawaiian
Airlines; the ability of Hawaiian Airlines to fund and execute its business
plan; the ability of the Registrant and Hawaiian Airlines to attract, motivate
and/or retain key executives and associates; the ability of Hawaiian Airlines
to attract and retain customers; demand for transportation in the markets in
which Hawaiian Airlines operates; economic conditions; the effects of any
hostilities or act of war (in the Middle East or elsewhere) or any terrorist
attack; labor costs; financing costs; the cost and availability of aircraft
insurance; aviation fuel costs; security-related costs; competitive pressures
on pricing (particularly from lower-cost competitors); weather conditions;
government legislation and regulation; consumer perceptions of the products of
Hawaiian Airlines; and other risks and uncertainties set forth from time to
time in the Registrant's reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Similarly, these and other factors, including the terms of any
reorganization plan ultimately confirmed, can affect the value of the various
pre-petition liabilities of Hawaiian Airlines and the common stock and/or
other equity securities of the Registrant. No assurances can be given as to
what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to each of
these constituencies, and it is possible that Hawaiian Airline's equity will
be restructured in a manner that will substantially reduce or eliminate any
remaining value in Hawaiian Airline's equity and, therefore, in the
Registrant's equity. In addition, other factors may also affect the liquidity
and value of the Registrant's securities. Such factors include: uncertainty as
to whether, or for how long the Registrant's securities will continue to be
listed or traded on Amex, and the uncertainty whether, should the Registrant's
securities cease to be listed or traded on Amex, a comparable or substitute
trading medium can be found. Accordingly, the Registrant urges that the
appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future
investments in any of these liabilities and/or securities.
