                          Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

================================================================================

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
February 28, 1995 and the nine months ended November 30, 1995 and the unaudited
pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 1995 include the
accounts of The Arlen Corporation ("Arlen") reflecting the disposition of its
investments in its operating subsidiaries (the "Disposition"). The pro forma
financial statements were derived by adjusting the historical financial
statements of Arlen for certain transactions pursuant to the Disposition
described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of
operations and balance sheet.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
February 28, 1995 and the nine months ended November 30, 1995 were prepared as
if the Disposition had occurred on March 1, 1994. The unaudited pro forma
consolidated balance sheet was prepared as if the Disposition had occurred on
November 30, 1995. The pro forma financial data does not purport to be
indicative of the results which actually could have been obtained had the
Disposition been completed as of the assumed dates or which may be obtained in
the future.

The pro forma financial data should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements of Arlen included in previously issued filings on Form 10-K for the
year ended February 28, 1995, Form 10-Q for the nine months ended November 30,
1995, and Form 8-K for February 6, 1996 containing a narrative summary
description of the Disposition.

                          Note to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet

1.       Represents reclassification of assets and liabilities of operating
         subsidiaries that were disposed of in February 1996 (net $11,642,000).
         At November 30, 1995, these former subsidiaries were indebted to Arlen
         in the aggregate amount of $758,000. At November 30, 1995, Arlen's
         investments in subsidiaries were approximately $11,642,000 ($8,642,000
         after giving effect to a January 1996 subsidiary financing transaction
         which upstreamed $3,000,000 to Arlen and which Arlen used to settle
         certain Arlen obligations of $2,383,000 current and $617,000
         noncurrent). The proceeds from the involuntary sale in February 1996
         were $6,065,000. Such proceeds consisted of a $2,000,000 noninterest
         bearing note receivable (repayable in quarterly installments over two
         years which, after deduction of unamortized discount based on an
         imputed interest rate of 9%, amounts to $1,850,000), $750,000 in cash
         which was used to satisfy certain secured obligations due to related
         parties and a $3,465,000 reduction in the amounts due to related
         parties.

         This resulted in a pro forma net loss on disposal of subsidiaries of
         $2,577,000 assuming such disposal had occurred on November 30, 1995 but
         after giving effect to the January 1996 subsidiary financing
         transaction which upstreamed $3,000,000 to Arlen.
