Both of these terms come from the accounting document known as the income statement, or Profit/Loss account. Top line is the first line of that document, and bottom line is the last line in that document.

When companies talk about the need to increase their top line, they are talking about the need to focus on generating/increasing sales. Bottom line efforts are usually aimed toward cost reduction to increase the margin and therefore increase the results.
