                                  EXHIBIT 99.2

                   STOCKHOLDERS OF BOWLES FLUIDICS CORPORATION
                           APPROVE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT



Columbia, Maryland, April 16, 1999.

At a special meeting on April 14, the stockholders of Bowles Fluidics
Corporation approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation
effecting a one-for-one thousand reverse split of its outstanding shares of
common stock, par value $.10 per share. As a result of the amendment, the number
of shares of common stock held by each shareholder is reduced to an amount equal
to 1/1000 of the number of shares of common stock owned before the reverse
split. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the
reverse split. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split will be
redeemed at the price of $1.25 per share of common stock outstanding immediately
prior to the adoption of the amendment and giving effect to the reverse split.

As a result of the reverse split and purchase of resulting fractional shares of
common stock, the number of record stockholders of the Company's common stock
will be reduced from approximately 422 (as of March 8, 1999) to less than 300.
The number of holders of the Company's preferred stock will remain unchanged at
approximately 14.

As a result of the reduction in number of record stockholders below 300, the
Company will suspend its obligation to file periodic reports with the Securities
and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934.
