PART I


ITEM 1. Description of Business

Hosoi Garden Mortuary, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in 1957 under the laws of the State of Hawaii as the successor to a business founded in 1900. Professional funeral services are the principal services rendered by the Company. The Company is engaged in the funeral and mortuary business, including the sale of pre-need funeral services contracts. During the fiscal years ended May 31, 2002 and 2001, funeral services accounted for 78.93% and 83.0%, respectively, of revenues. The Company owns 50% of Garden Life Plan, Ltd. ("Garden Life") which sells pre-need funeral service contracts for which the Company acts as the sole servicing mortuary.

The Company operates a mortuary business in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Company offers funeral services to all persons in Hawaii. Although the Company, historically, has served principally persons of Japanese ancestry who follow a particular and special order of worship in accordance with their religious beliefs, the Company continues to develop markets involving other ethnic groups and religious beliefs. In addition to handling funeral services for residents of Honolulu, the Company conducts services for residents of other counties in Hawaii and prepares remains for shipment to or receives them from other counties in Hawaii, other states in the United States and foreign countries. Competition in the funeral business in Hawaii is based upon (1) the location of a mortuary and (2) the principal ethnic group that a mortuary serves. There are 20 mortuaries in the State of Hawaii. Their locations are as follows:

Location

Number of Mortuaries

Island of Hawaii

Island of Maui

Island of Oahu

Island of Kauai

Island of Molokai

Because of the separation of the Hawaiian islands by ocean, a mortuary is generally confined to the funeral demands of a particular island. A very small percentage of business constitutes service requiring the use of funeral parlors on an island other than where death has occurred.

In most cases, a substantial portion of the business of a mortuary is from an ethnic group it principally serves. Historically, a substantial portion of the Company's total services were for families of Japanese ancestry.

The larger mortuaries on the Island of Oahu and the ethnic groups which they are believed to serve primarily are as follows:

Name Ethnic Groups Served
Williams Mortuary

Hosoi Garden Mortuary

Borthwick Mortuary

On July 7, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Woolsey Funeral & Cemetery Services, Inc. to form Woolsey-Hosoi Mortuary Services, LLC, a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Hawaii. It is expected that the LLC will conduct funeral services to persons other than those of Japanese ancestry. Funeral services arranged by the LLC will generally be conducted at churches and other locations other than on the Company's premises.

Thirty (30) persons were employed by the Company for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002. Seventeen (17) persons were employed full-time and thirteen (13) persons were employed part-time.

Hosoi Trust owns a 13.65/104th interest and the Hosoi-Tamori-Shimonishi Trust owns the remaining 12.35/104th interest.

The portion owned by the Company is owned in fee simple. The Company leases the portion owned by the Herman S. Hosoi Trust and Hosoi-Tamori-Shimonishi Trust ("Trusts") under a fifteen-year lease that expires on October 31, 2014. The lease provides for an annual base rent of $112,200 for the period from November 1, 1999 to October 31, 2004, and annual base rent of $132,000 for the period from November 1, 2004 to October 31, 2009. Additionally, the lease provides for the payment of percentage rent on the Company's annual gross revenues. The Company is also responsible for the payment of real property taxes on the portion of the land owned by the Trusts.

The main mortuary building, which was built in 1961, contains a chapel area, which is capable of being used for one service with a seating capacity of 600 or for two chapels with a seating capacity of 300 each. There is an altar and family room at each end of the building. The office is located on the west end of the main mortuary building. The embalming rooms are on the second floor.

In addition, there is a combined garage, kitchen and dining room annex. Parking facilities for 147 cars have access to Nuuanu Avenue, Kukui Street and Maunakea Street, and are one-half block away from Vineyard Boulevard, which is one of the

-5-
