                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Basis of Preparation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by Bowline Corporation
(the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these financial statements
give effect to all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1996, and September 30, 1995,
and the results of operations and cash flow for the six-month periods ended
March 31, 1996, and March 31, 1995.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial
statements to conform to classifications used in the current fiscal year.

The Company's revenue consists solely of providing data processing services to
an affiliate.

Although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate
to make the information not misleading, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. Accordingly,
the accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the related financial review included in the Company's
latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," ("SFAS No. 109") beginning October 1, 1993.
No provision for federal income taxes is recorded due to the existence of net
operating losses carried forward. The Company has no means of realizing value
from any of the above, therefore, a valuation reserve was established in
accordance with SFAS 109 for 100% of the net operating losses and investment tax
credits carried forward. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 109 had no effect on
the Company's results of operations.


Note 4.  Proposed Merger

On February 20, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement") with Arrowhead Holdings Corporation ("Arrowhead")
pursuant to which the Company will be merged with and into Arrowhead, the
separate corporate existence of the Company will be extinguished and the equity
interest of the Company's public shareholders will cease to exist.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common
stock of the Company (other than the 141,419 shares held by Arrowhead which will
be canceled in the Merger and other than the 590,750 shares held by certain of
Arrowhead's affiliates which will be exchanged for shares of Arrowhead common
stock) will be converted into the right to receive $1.32 per share in cash.

Consummation of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including
approval of the Merger Agreement and the principal terms of the merger by the
affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock. As of April 30, 1996, Arrowhead and its affiliates own
an aggregate of 732,169 shares of the Company's common stock, or 56.9% of the
total shares outstanding. It is anticipated that all of such shares will be
voted in favor of the Merger Agreement and the principal terms of the merger.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations


Six months ended March 31, 1996, compared to six months ended March 31, 1995

Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1996, were equal to revenues for the
six months ended March 31, 1995. The Company's revenue consists solely of
providing data processing services to an affiliate.

Selling and administrative expenses consist of operating expenses of the data
processing center and corporate expenses. These expenses were 5.2% higher than
the prior year, for the six month period ended March 31, 1996. This was due to
legal fees related to the proposed merger (see Note 4). Reductions in salaries
offset the higher legal cost for the three month period ended March 31, 1996.

Interest income increased by 7.9%, mostly a result of higher interest rates.

Changes in the Pennsylvania state income tax law, allowing carryover of losses
in prior years, reduced state income taxes to zero.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow for the six months ended March 31, 1996, was positive $88,000. This
was primarily a result of operating profit before depreciation and faster
collection of accounts receivable.

The Company's business consists solely of servicing an affiliate. Expenditures
have been reduced through a reduction of personnel and relocating the computer
center to a lower cost facility. No major capital expenditures are planned and
the Company believes its liquidity is adequate to finance its cash requirements.
