Hawaii-based Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (NYSE: ALEX) on Friday reported that net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $12.6 million, down from $29.6 million for the same period in 2008.
Revenue fell as well, from $460.5 million to $355.1 million.
Net income for the first half of 2009 was $15.6 million, compared with $71.7 million in the first half of 2008.
Revenue for the same period was $674.5 million, compared to revenue of $1,038.7 million in the first half of 2008.
A&B is the parent company of Matson Navigation Co.
“A&B’s second quarter 2009 performance improved considerably from the first quarter of the year — principally as a result of Matson’s return to profitability, and, to a lesser extent, increased real estate sales,” said W. Allen Doane, chairman and CEO of A&B. “These improvements were partially offset, however, by poor performance in our Agribusiness division, as well as the pervasive impacts of the national and global recession. In response to the difficult economic environment, we have taken necessary measures this year to better align our cost structure with the realities of today’s lower levels of demand. These efforts are producing tangible results.”
Doane said A&B remained on “solid financial ground” and is generating “significant cash flow” from its operating business.
But he warned of “choppy earnings results” for the remainder of 2009.
A&B’s real estate leasing segment saw an operating profit of $11 million in the second quarter — the result of strong occupancy levels for A&B’s Hawaii properties — while the real estate sales segment posted an operating profit of $9.6 million, “resulting from the sale of Hawaii income properties and several Maui land parcels during the quarter,” according to the company.
“As previously announced, in late May the company increased its investment at the Kukuiula joint venture development project, a statement of our confidence in Hawaii development, and to the unique opportunity presented by this project to capture rising buyer demand as real estate markets recover over time,” said Doane.
Kukuiula is a luxury home project on Kauai.

Team Bluestein To Release The Facts Regarding Website
Local Detroit PR Firm Clears Phony Allegations Concerning Frank Bluestein
Detroit, MI – Small time web forum site, www.Boggleheads.com, which is based out of Chicago has boldly stated inaccurate claims aimed at Metro Detroit businessman Frank Bluestein. The claims stated inaccurate information regarding Mr. Bluestein and even included threats of bodily violence, (ex: http://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=435419&sid=e87fdfdb40cb3bdac3f898dd6c39c217) stemming from last month.
Detroit PR Rep Ted Cantu, i-Cantu Media LTD, was hired in to straighten out the matter along with attorney Joseph Dadich, (Dadich Law). The disturbing note included a death threat aimed at Mr. Bluestein. The owner of Boggleheads could not be reached for comment despite many attempts to reach him. When attorney Joe Dadich finally did get through to the sites owner he adjusted the life threatening post slightly but refused to take the post down entirely.
The site is run by Chicago based, Alex Frakt, and can be contacted at www.whois.org. There you can find his contact information including email address and phone number.
“Its unfortunate that blogs, and forum owners take on the stance of irresponsible journalists. Not only do these types go out of their way to discredit someone but they also feel the urge to enforce death threats and other unpleasant proceedings. We are in the process right now of taking immediate and direct action against Mr. Frakt. Due to the sensitive nature of this matter I cannot go into the exact course of action. That will be left up to our legal team.”
We are also working directly with Google who is protecting the shadowy, “Ron” who is in cohoots with Boggleheads.org and has made other derogatory comments on blogs owned by Google. By law and through cooperation with law enforcement they are required to hand over personal and discreet information especially when death threats are concerned.
As a result, Cantu and Dadich will be releasing a special report regarding cyber bullying and the legal guidelines that you have as a customer and participant on the World Wide Web. The report is also going to outline the considerable amount of risk Alex Frakt and his cohort “Ron”that a perpetrator puts himself in when delivering death threats, inaccurate information regarding trials in process.
At the time of this writing were not available for comment.
The report comes out July 8,2009
Ted Cantu can be reached at 1.888.305.2532 for more information.

Frank Bluestein Returns With Ted Cantu and Media Based Website
July 3, 2009 – Detroit, Michigan – HotMetroFinds.Com has launched with much anticipated response. The website is a part of iCantu Media LTD which is based out of Chicago. Ted Cantu who owns the company is creating a “living breathing web site” that includes some incredible web video commercials to be spread across the Internet. He has teamed up with Michigan based business developer Frank Bluestein, a retired financial advisor who ran a stock portfolio in excess of 100 million dollars.
Bluestein brings a unique perspective to the table when it comes to online promotion. He has run a very popular web site relating to stock tip picks, freedomroadtrading.com. This web site has brought in novices to seasoned professionals and have delivered great value over the past two years. Now Frank Bluestein will oversee the production and promotion of Cantu’s latest project, Chicago based, www.hotmetrofinds.com.
The idea to create the web site came with the recent collapse of several Michigan based newspapers. After a recent trip to the Windy City Cantu has this to say, “I noticed that the printed realm of advertising continued to shrink over time. I decided to create an open architecture web site that allowed users to rely primarily on the web browser for their search capacity. The end user didn’t really need to even know our web address to find what they needed. They simply needed to plug in a few keywords into their browser and our sites would pop up on the search engines.”
Metro Detroit and Chicago based businesses can get their company listed through iCantu Media through their choice of categories including restaurants, real estate, rentals, and retail. The listing fees are promised to be significantly cheaper than traditional advertising including television, radio and print. The site has done a quiet launch over the 4th of July weekend, 2009.
For additional information regarding Frank Bluestein and Ted Cantu you can contact them at 248.631.9211. You can also visit their website at http://www.hotmetrofinds.com.
