THE ARLEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(May 31, 1996)
================================================================================
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of The
Arlen Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three months ended May 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending February 28, 1997. For further information, reference is made to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended February 29, 1996.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the
Company have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. At May 31, 1996, the Company
had a working capital deficiency of $6,736,000 and a capital deficit of
$133,169,000. Currently, the Company has no operations (see Note 2) but intends
to seek new business opportunities, though there can be no assurance that it
will be successful in achieving this objective.
NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The operations of the Company's former operating subsidiaries, which
ceased to be owned by the Company on February 6, 1996, have been reclassified as
discontinued operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(May 31, 1996)
================================================================================
NOTE 3 - OTHER ASSETS
Other assets include amounts due from former subsidiaries (see Note 2)
and certain non-negotiable promissory notes (the "Mortgage Notes") assumed by
related parties. Due to the uncertainty of the timing of the collection of
interest on the Mortgage Notes, for financial statement purposes the Company
will record interest income from the Mortgage Notes when received.
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is the sponsor of a defined benefit pension plan (the
"Plan") which was frozen in 1981. The actuarial valuation of the Plan as of
March 1, 1991 (the latest Plan valuation) indicates the unfunded actuarial
accrued liability was approximately $850,000.
In July 1995, the Company received from the District Director of the
United States Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") an examination report with
respect to the Plan. In such report, the IRS asserted that a payment of
$6,726,613 is required in order to cure the Plan's accumulated funding
deficiency for prior years and pay excise taxes and penalties arising therefrom.
Based upon discussions with the IRS following receipt of the examination report,
the Company believes that it will be able to obtain a waiver of a substantial
portion of the taxes and penalties claimed to be due and to settle the remaining
deficiency, through installment payments over a number of years, for an
aggregate amount approximating the $850,000 provision already reflected in the
Company's balance sheet (included in accrued expenses, fees and other).
Accordingly, management believes that it has adequately provided for this
liability.
NOTE 5 - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss, after
giving effect to dividends on preferred stock, by the weighted average number of
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each period.
Convertible securities that are deemed to be common share equivalents are
assumed to have been converted at the beginning of each period. The Company's
common share equivalents and convertible issues were anti-dilutive at May 31,
1996 and 1995 and, therefore, were not included in the loss per share
computations for these periods. The weighted average number of shares used to
compute per share amounts was 32,690,000 for the three-month period ended
May 31, 1996 and 31,690,000 for the three-month period ended May 31, 1995,
inclusive of Class B shares.

THE ARLEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(May 31, 1996)
================================================================================
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Report:
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Prior to the disposition of the Company's former subsidiaries on
February 6, 1996, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern was
threatened by the liquidity crises facing the Company from an unsatisfied
judgment, additional pending litigation and the rapidly-approaching July 31,
1997 maturity date of the amounts due to related parties (the "Arlen Notes").
These near-term threats to the Company's continued existence have been virtually
eliminated through the discharge of the unsatisfied judgment, the termination of
the pending litigation and the extension of the maturity date of the Arlen Notes
to December 28, 2033. Moreover, the cash flow which the Company expects to
receive from the note receivable (the "Note Receivable") reflected on the
Company's balance sheet at May 31, 1996 included in Item 1 of Part I of this
Report should enable the Company to meet its anticipated cash requirements
through the current fiscal year and into fiscal 1998.
Although the Company's balance sheet at May 31, 1996 continues to
include the Arlen Notes as substantial liabilities (accounting for $126,898,000
of the Company's total liabilities of $135,152,000) and although the Arlen Notes
will continue to accrue substantial interest expense which, in the absence of
significant income from new operations, will produce continuing net losses and
add to the increasing shareholders' deficit (such deficit at May 31, 1996 being
$133,169,000), the extension to December 28, 2033 in the maturity date of the
Arlen Notes and the virtual elimination of the default provisions relating
thereto create the practical reality that the Arlen Notes should not pose a
threat to the continued existence of the Company for many years.
Assuming that the Company is able to (a) satisfy or settle an
outstanding judgment for $172,000 (plus interest from 1988) which is the subject
of pending execution proceedings and (b) settle or otherwise resolve the claim
asserted by the IRS (see Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Report), management believes
that the most serious threat to the Company's continued existence would be its
inability to acquire new business operations or to otherwise generate cash flow
prior to its receipt of the final payments due under the Note Receivable.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's net loss for the first three months of its fiscal year
ending February 28, 1997, representing an increase of 86% over the net loss for
the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, reflects primarily the absence
in the current quarter of any income from the Company's discontinued operations.
