ARROW CAPITAL EXPANDS INTO NEW EQUIPMENT LEASING MARKETS WITH ACQUISITION

Acquires Key Personnel and Vendor Equipment Leasing Programs of MarCap Vendor Finance

SAN JOSE, Calif., December 11, 2001 - Arrow Capital Corporation announced today that it has acquired certain assets of MarCap Vendor Finance, including key sales and operations personnel and vendor equipment leasing programs. The objective of the acquisition is to extend Arrow's leasing programs into the industrial equipment and entertainment production markets.

According to Steve Trollope, CEO and president of Arrow Capital, "The MarCap acquisition places us in the ranks of the top 100 equipment lessors in the United States and gives us a diverse customer base. We are starting up several new programs in the industrial and high technology areas, and expect to originate about $90 million in equipment financing during our next fiscal year starting April 2002."

Arrow offers custom-tailored leasing programs to manufacturers in a broad range of industries, including networking and telecommunications, web and application hosting, industrial and machine tools, and entertainment (film, video, television and music production).

"The high-technology downturn has been very challenging for us, but Arrow has been in business since 1988 and has weathered several economic cycles," said Trollope. "Unlike many other Silicon Valley companies, Arrow is profitable, stable and is expanding into new markets. We've recently moved our headquarters into a new building and expect to add employees as we develop our new programs."

In addition to Arrow's main San Jose location, the company now has offices in San Ramon, Los Angeles, Bel Air and San Diego, California; New Jersey and South Carolina.
