             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
1.  Basis of Preparation and Presentation
    -------------------------------------
    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
    include the accounts of Hathaway Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries
    and investments in joint ventures (the Company). All significant
    intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
    consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year
    balances in order to conform to the current year's presentation.

    The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
    prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
    Securities and Exchange Commission and include all adjustments which are, in
    the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain
    information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
    statements that are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
    and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures herein are
    adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial
    data for the interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of results to
    be expected for the year.

    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates
    and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts
    of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and
    liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
    reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
    results could differ from those estimates.

    It is suggested that the accompanying condensed interim financial statements
    be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
    related Notes to such statements included in the June 30, 1997 Annual Report
    and Form 10-K previously filed by the Company.

3.  Business Acquisition
    --------------------
    Effective September 30, 1996, the Company acquired a 100% partnership
    interest in Tate Integrated Systems (TIS), which has since operated as
    Hathaway Industrial Automation (HIA).

    The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
    accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the
    assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the fair values at
    the date of acquisition. The final net purchase price allocation was as
    follows (in thousands):

            Trade receivables, net       $  485
            Inventories, net                649

             net                            123

             assets acquired                624
            Accounts payable               (580)

             other                         (209)

                             HATHAWAY CORPORATION
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                   OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
All statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could
cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from the
historical results or from any future results expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.  Among the factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially are the following: the unavailability of sufficient capital
on satisfactory terms to finance the Company's business plan, increased
competition, the introduction of new technologies and competitors into the
systems and instrumentation markets where the Company competes, adverse changes
in the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions.  In
addition to statements that explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties,
readers are urged to consider statements labeled with the terms "believes,"
"expects," "plans," "anticipates," or "intends" to be uncertain and forward-
looking.  All cautionary statements made herein should be read as being
applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear.  In
this connection, investors should consider the risks described herein.

Operating Results
- -----------------
For the first quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company recognized a net
loss of $589,000 or $.14 per share, compared to a net loss of $375,000 or $.09
per share, for the same period last year.  Revenues increased 8% in the first
quarter from $8,818,000 last year to $9,539,000 this year.

The 8% increase in revenues was due to a 5% increase in revenues from the
Company's power and process instrumentation products and a 16% increase in
revenues from the Company's motion control products. The increase in power and
process revenues was due to revenues generated by HIA in the first quarter of
fiscal year 1998 offset by an 8% decrease in traditional power and process
revenues.

Sales to international customers decreased from 39% to 31% of total revenues.
Excluding the effect of HIA, whose business is primarily with domestic
customers, traditional product sales to international customers represented 34%
of total revenues.  The decrease in comparable international revenues (excluding
HIA) from last year was due primarily to lower international power and process
product sales.

Cost of products sold increased from 63% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to
66% in fiscal 1998 primarily because of the effect of HIA, whose cost of
products sold represents a higher percentage of revenues than that of the
Company's traditional product lines.  Excluding the effect of HIA, the cost of
products sold in 1998 represents 64% of related revenues, a level reasonably
consistent with last year.

Selling, general and administrative, and engineering and development expenses
increased 7% in the first quarter from $3,821,000 last year to $4,088,000 in the
current year because of such expenses incurred by HIA.  Excluding the effect of
HIA, these expenses would have totaled $3,547,000, a 7% decrease over comparable
expenses in the prior year, which reflects the cost savings generated from the
restructuring and cost reduction efforts initiated by the Company in fiscal 1996
and 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's liquidity position as measured by cash and cash equivalents
(excluding restricted cash) increased $590,000 during the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 to a balance of $4,021,000 at September 30, 1997, compared to
$596,000 used in the first quarter in fiscal 1997.  Operating activities
generated $839,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $617,000 used
in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The improved cash from operating
activities was primarily due to fluctuations in working capital balances.

Cash of $182,000 was used by investing activities in the first quarter of 1998,
compared to $103,000 generated by investing activities last year.  The variance
was primarily due to the maturity of a long-term investment which was converted
into cash in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, as well as increased purchases of
property and equipment in fiscal 1998. Financing activities used reasonably
consistent amounts   $51,000 and $89,000 in the first quarter of 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)

 
The Company's remaining fiscal 1998 working capital, capital expenditure and
debt service requirements, including repayment of the entire balance of the
Midland loan, if necessary, are expected to be funded from the existing cash
balance of $4,021,000 at September 30, 1997.  In addition, the Company may seek
additional debt, equity or other financing, particularly if it must fully repay
the Midland loan balance, in order to supplement its long-term financial
resources.  There can be no assurance, however, that additional debt, equity or
other financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
