MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
financial statements and notes thereto, and with the Company's audited financial
statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended October 28, 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second Quarter FY 1996 Compared with Second Quarter FY 1995
The Company achieved record sales in the second quarter FY 1996 in spite of the
unfavorable effect of the two-week shutdown of the General Motors plants in
March. Net income, however, was less than last year's second quarter as an
additional charge related to the planned termination of the Company's sales
agreement with one of its manufacturers' representatives was recorded, higher
additional expenses were incurred for research and develop-ment, and product
profit margins decreased.
Net sales in the second quarter of FY 1996 rose to $4,687,296, 6% above last
year's second quarter sales of $4,419,120. Net income was $197,837, 64% or
$349,562 lower than last year's second quarter of $547,399.
Sales of light vehicle windshield washer and defroster nozzles of $4,640,865
increased 14% over last year's second quarter sales of $4,075,225, principally
due to a larger volume of shipments of newly designed products. Sales of
prototype and production tooling of $46,431 for future product manufacturing
decreased 86% from last year's second quarter, reflecting a much lower rate of
culmination of new washer and defroster nozzle programs. This decline is
expected to continue through the 1996 fiscal year.
Gross profit in this year's second quarter was $1,814,657, 7% above last year's
second quarter of $1,695,770, principally because of the higher volume. However,
lower margins on new products reduced overall profit margins and are expected to
continue to do so in the future. While having little net impact on gross profit,
engineering resources were redirected in the FY 1996 second quarter more towards
applications engineering, i.e., the custom-ization of new auto products, with
less emphasis on tooling and product qualification activities. One significant
new product is the air conditioning outlets for an automotive customer, for
which prototypes are scheduled for delivery in the fall.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 69% higher due to increases in
sales commissions and personnel costs. The sales commissions include an
additional charge of $420,000 related to the planned termination of the
Company's sales agreement with one of its manufacturers' representatives.
Research and development costs rose 140% as greater efforts were applied to the
development of new products for both automotive and nonautomotive applications.
Operating income decreased 67% or $571,799 to $282,720 in this year's second
quarter versus $854,519 in last year's comparable period.
Provision for income taxes, both federal and state, was determined based upon an
estimate of the total year's pretax income. The effective tax rates for both
years' second quarters were essentially the same.

<PAGE>
Six Months Ended April 27, 1996, Compared with Six Months Ended April 29, 1995
For the first six months of the 1996 fiscal year ended April 27, 1996, sales
rose but net income declined primarily due to an additional charge related to
the termination of the Company's sales agreement, product profit margin
pressures, and increases in expenses for research and development.
Net sales gained 7% to $9,237,357 for the first six months of the 1996 fiscal
year compared with $8,612,438 in the comparable period in 1995. Net income of
$590,805 was 41% below the results of the prior fiscal year's first six months.
Sales of light vehicle windshield washer and defroster nozzles of $8,812,042
increased 11.5% in the first six months compared with the same period in the
prior fiscal year, principally because of increased shipments of newly designed
products. Sales of prototype and production tooling of $425,315 in 1996 for
future product manu-facturing declined 40% versus sales of $708,820 for the
first six months of the 1995 fiscal year. This decline reflects the lower rate
of culmination of new washer and defroster nozzle programs.
Gross profit in the first six months of the 1996 fiscal year gained 4% to
$3,302,597 from $3,163,056 in the similar 1995 period as a result of the larger
sales volume. However, lower margins on new products reduced overall profit
margins. During the first six months of this fiscal year, with little net impact
on gross profit, engineering resources were redirected towards more applications
engineering, i.e., the customization of new auto products, from tooling and
product qualification activities. One significant new product is the air
conditioning outlets for an automotive customer, for which prototypes are
scheduled for delivery in the fall.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 43% higher in the first six
months of fiscal year 1996 compared with the similar 1995 period because of
increases in sales commissions and personnel costs. The sales commissions
include an additional charge of $420,000 related to the planned termination of
the Company's sales agreement with one of its manufacturers' representatives.
Research and development costs rose 90% in the same period as greater efforts
were applied to the development of new products for both automotive and
nonautomotive applications.
Operating income decreased 44% or $687,713 to $891,811 in this year's first six
months versus $1,579,524 in last year's comparable period.
Provision for income taxes, both federal and state, was determined based upon an
estimate of the total year's pretax income. The effective tax rates for both
years' six months were essentially the same.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's working capital at April 27, 1996, increased $487,245 from the
previous year end at October 28, 1995. The current ratio rose from 3.1 to 3.9
during the first six months. Accounts receivable increased as a result of the
higher sales, and inventories decreased because of the sale of tooling from
work-in-process inventory. Current liabilities declined with the paydown of
accounts payable and year-end accruals.
Cash provided by operations was $893,727 during the first six months of the 1996
fiscal year compared with $490,921 in last year's similar period. This year's
cash flow from net income was lower but was used to a lesser extent than last
year to pay down income tax accruals.
Capital expenditures were $544,233 in this fiscal year's first six months,
$302,923 greater than last year as more funds were spent on computer facilities
and production equipment.
8
<PAGE>
Cash used for financing activities was lower than last year as the early payment
of all outstanding bank debt this year was less than the early payment of
certain notes last year.
The quasi-reorganization that was carried out at October 29, 1994, was
implemented in order to eliminate the deficit in retained earnings. The deficit
had occurred due to the settlement of a lawsuit in 1991 related to prior years'
activities and operating losses related to discontinued products prior to 1980.
With new products and profitable operations, management desired to reflect the
current financial strength of the Company. The only impact on the financial
statements was to record the elimination of the retained earnings deficit to
date and the corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital. Upon
evaluation, the Company's assets and liabilities did not require readjustments.
North American light vehicle production (excluding Mexican output) by the three
major U.S. automotive companies, which generates most of the Company's sales,
decreased 14% in the first calendar quarter of 1996 versus the same period in
1995. Production for the second calendar quarter of 1996 is forecasted by Ward's
Automotive Reports to increase 6% over last year's second quarter.
The Company's management believes that the present and planned production
capacity should be satisfactory to meet the anticipated demands referred to
above, additional market penetration, and new product deliveries. Cash flow from
operations and available cash are expected to provide the funds needed for
future product development, capital expenditures, and working capital
requirements. The Company currently has no debt.

June 11, 1996
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF BOWLES FLUIDICS CORPORATION:
BFC sales in the second quarter of 1996 rose 14% above last year's second
quarter. This increase occurred in spite of a strike-induced shutdown of GM
assembly plants averaging about a two-week duration in March and against the 5%
decrease in volume of light vehicle production in the first five months of 1996.
The sales gain is attributed to a larger sales volume of newly designed
products.
However, net income was 64% lower than the same period last year. An additional
charge was recorded relating to the planned termination of the Company's sales
agreements with one of its manufacturers' representatives. Lower margins on the
new products, our commitment to expand R&D efforts in basic research, and new
product development (in and out of the auto industry) are major contributors to
this decline. Our application of more engineering resources toward new product
development, specifically the AC outlet, and less on tooling have had little
impact on net income.
Several parts are up and running on the new information system and we have
scheduled a summer date for our QS-9000 pre-assessment audit. We will be
continuing these instigation efforts through the next quarter.
The AC outlet program has entered the prototype stage on schedule and is
proceeding toward prototype delivery in the fall.
North American auto production predictions were up from last quarter and show
rate increases for the second and third quarters over last year. We believe we
can continue to support these expansion efforts.
Sincerely,
Ronald Stouffer
