Aloha Mr. Kent: Please see the attached report showing the loans in our Agricultural Loan Program portfolio that are currently in default. The total loan balance in default as of 12/31/25 is $731,192.20 representing 3.6% of the total active loan balance of $20,083,307.68. It may be helpful to understand that these 18 loans are in collection status with the Attorney General's Office and are in various stages of recovery and date back to 1997. The Attorney General's office has completed settlement agreements with several of the borrowers and we are only waiting to receive authority to write off the debt in those cases. Please feel free to give me a call with any questions. Thank you, Andrew Robinson Acting Agricultural Loan Administrator 808-973-9462 <<email address>> and email address>> ________________________________ From: Joe Kent <<name and email address >> Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2025 8:03:09 PM To: DAB Info < <name and email address >> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Records Request for Department of Agriculture: UIPA for records showing the defaults for the Agriculture Loan Program [#1650] Aloha, Pursuant to the public records law, I would like to request the following records in electronic format sent to my email address.
