                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Seahawk Capital Corporation (the "Company") and its
subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the
Company at September 30, 1994 and 1993 and for the three and nine
month periods then ended are unaudited, but include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which
management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial condition and results of operations for the
interim periods covered by such statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements do not include all the disclosures associated with the
Company's annual financial statements and accordingly should be
read in conjunction with such statements.   Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to  rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
Reference is made to Note 1 of the notes to consolidated
financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 for a
summary of significant accounting policies utilized by the
Company.  It is suggested that the consolidated financial
statements at September 30, 1994 and 1993 be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form
10-K.  The information for the nine months periods ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the entire year.

     Since February 1992, the Company operated as a Business
Development Company ( BDC ) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the  Act ).  In July 1994, the Company notified the
Securities and Exchange Commission that it withdrew its election
to be subject to the Act.  The Company has changed the nature of
its business to cease to be a BDC.  Such change was authorized by
the vote of a majority of its outstanding voting securities at
the Company s annual meeting of stockholders held on July 15,
1994.
 
     Loss per share calculations are based upon 13,137,082 shares
in all periods presented, based upon the weighted average number
of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
periods.

2.   INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

("Scotcoast") operations, the Company and SRC Food Group, Limited

Scotcoast is in the process of being liquidated.  The investment
in Scotcoast was written off in the second quarter of 1994. The
loss on investments for 1994 in the accompanying statement of
consolidated operations includes the following:

     SRCF also has an equity investment in Extruco, Limited and
PEICO Limited, which companies were to utilize certain rights and
processes of SRCF.  Due to a disagreement with Extruco, Limited's
shareholders, SRCF's 33.3% interest was disposed of in August
1995 at a loss of approximately $5,000.  Because PEICO Limited
has not to date been able to obtain the financing needed to begin
operations, this investment was written off.  The loss on
investments for 1994 in the accompanying statement of
consolidated operations includes $37,868 applicable to the loss
on Extruco and the write-off of PEICO.

3.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Effective December 31, 1994, the Company transferred its
approximately 73% interest in Seahawk Overseas Exploration
Corporation ("Overseas") to John C. Fitton (then a Director of
the Company) in exchange for 855,780 shares of the Company's
common stock.

     At December 31, 1994, the Company's equity in the net assets
of Overseas was approximately $25,000.  This amount approximated
the market value of the shares at that date (based on $0.03 per
share, the mean between the bid and ask prices of $0.02 and
$0.04).

     Summarized results of Overseas included in the accompanying
statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1994 are as follows:

     At the Company's 1994 annual meeting, the Company's
stockholders authorized an amendment to the Company's certificate
of incorporation increasing the number of its authorized shares
of common stock from 50 million to 100 million shares.

     On May 8, 1995, the Company sold 15,000,000 previously
unissued shares of its common stock to Jonathan B. Lassers for
$150,000 in cash.  As part of the transaction, Mr. Lassers also
acquired transferable warrants to purchase up to an additional
70,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock exercisable until
December 31, 1997 at $0.01 a share.  As a result of the purchase,
Mr. Lassers owns approximately 55% of the total outstanding
common stock. If all the warrants are exercised, his beneficial
ownership would increase to approximately 87.4%.  Because of this
purchase, a change in control of the Company was effected.
Substantially all members of the Company's prior management
resigned as directors and officers.


ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     As indicated in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements in Item 1 of this Report, the Company has new
management.  The following management's discussion is based on
new management's understanding of the financial condition and the
results of operations for the periods presented. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 1994, the Company has a stockholders'
equity of $210,509.  The Company has incurred net losses in most
of the past 10 years.  After the transfer of Overseas and
write-off of its investment in Scotcoast in this second quarter,
the Company's only operations are related to SRCF, which is not
significant in amount, and its 50% interest in PEICO Limited
which was written off and 33.3% interest in Extruco, Limited
which was disposed of in August 1995.  (See Notes 2 and 3 to the
consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this Report for
a fuller discussion.) 

     As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements under Item 1 of this Report, in May 1995 the Company
sold 15,000,000 previously unissued shares of its common stock
for $150,000 in cash.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>  12

     Because of the above mentioned net losses, the Company's
cash flows from operating activities have been negative.  Until
such time as additional operating businesses are acquired and
operate profitably, the Company's operations are being financed
with the remaining cash and the proceeds from the sale of common
stock in May 1995.  The Company is exploring various financing
options in connection with the acquisition of companies in the
food processing industry.

     It is not expected that the Company will achieve
profitability in the near future. Further, there is no assurance
that the Company will achieve profitability thereafter.  Although
it is expected that the Company will have adequate resources
available to continue through December 31, 1995, unless the
Company can obtain the financing necessary to acquire a
profitable operating business, the Company will be unable to
continue as a going concern. 


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:  NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993

     The Company generated consolidated revenues of $493,584 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1994 (the "1994 Period")
compared to revenues of $704,865 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1993 (the "1993 Period").   This decrease of
$211,281 was due primarily to the revenues generated by Scotcoast 
included for only the first quarter of 1994 compared to their
revenue in the second and third quarter of 1993.  Scotcoast was
not an operating subsidiary for the first quarter of 1993.
Commission and fees increased $68,992 in the 1994 Period over the
1993 Period mainly due to the services provided by SRCF during
the 1994 Period.  SRCF was not acquired until December 1993.
Interest and other income decreased primarily as a result of
lower interest paid by financial institutions and the reduced
level of investable funds.

     Total expenses for the 1994 Period of $929,778 were $171,554
less than the 1993 Period.  This decrease was primarily due the
decline in cost of sales of $318,968 and the decline in general
and administrative expenses of $165,102 relating to the above
discussed decrease in sales revenue of Scotcoast.  These declines
were offset by the $309,808 charge in the second quarter of 1994
relating to the loss on Scotcoast and PEICO Limited and the
write-down of Extruco, Limited to amount realized in 1995 from
its disposal.  Cost of sales increased $112,421 due to the
increase in sales revenues of Scotcoast.
