             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):

4.   EARNINGS PER SHARE
     ------------------
     In December, 1997 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
     Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (EPS).  In accordance with the
     requirements of the Statement, Primary and Fully Diluted EPS has been
     replaced with Basic and Diluted EPS in all periods for which a Statement of
     Operations is presented.

     Basic and Diluted earnings per share have been computed as follows (in
     thousands, except per share data):

     Options to purchase stock were outstanding during the three and six months
     ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 but were not included in the computation
     of diluted EPS due to their anti-dilutive effect on EPS.  These outstanding
     options are summarized as follows:

     At December 31, 1997 outstanding options to purchase 708,704 shares at a

     future EPS.

                    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 second quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company recognized a net
loss of $157,000 or $.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $226,000 or $.05
per share, for the same period last year. Included in these results are net
losses of $491,000 and $106,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively, incurred by Hathaway Industrial Automation (HIA), which was
acquired by the Company effective September 30, 1996.  Excluding the results of
HIA, the Company recognized net income of $334,000 and a net loss of $120,000
for the quarters ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Revenues
increased 7% in the second quarter from $10,368,000 last year to $11,137,000
this year.

The Company recognized a net loss of $746,000, or $.17 per share, for the six
months ended December 31, 1997, compared to a net loss of $601,000, or $.14 per
share, for the six months ended December 31, 1996.  Included in these results
are HIA's net losses of $943,000 and $106,000 for the six months ended December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Excluding HIA, the Company recognized net
income of $197,000 and a net loss of $495,000 for the six months ended December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Revenues for the first six months increased by
8% from $19,186,000 in fiscal 1997 to $20,676,000 in fiscal 1998.

The 7% increase in revenues in the second quarter and the 8% increase in
revenues for the first six months were due to 15% increases in revenues from the
Company's motion control products and 4% increases in revenues from the
Company's power and process instrumentation products.  For the first six months,
the 4% increase in power and process revenues was due to revenues being
generated by HIA during both quarters of 1998 compared to only one quarter
during 1997, partially offset by a 3% decrease in traditional power and process
revenues.

In the second quarter, sales to international customers increased from
$3,520,000 in fiscal 1997 to $3,547,000 in fiscal 1998. In the first six months,
sales to international customers decreased from $6,949,000 to $6,527,000.
Foreign sales represented 32% and 34% of total sales in the quarter ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 32% and 36% of total sales in the
six months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues in the second quarter and the
first six months ended December 31, 1997 remained reasonably consistent with the
prior year, decreasing from 65% to 64% in the second quarter and increasing from
64% to 65% in the first six months.  Fluctuations in cost of products sold as a
percentage of revenues are due to changes in the mix of products sold, price
changes implemented in response to market conditions, and other factors.

Selling, general and administrative, and engineering and development expenses
decreased 1% in the second quarter and increased 3% in the first six months, as
compared to the same periods last year.  Excluding HIA's selling, general and
administrative, and engineering and development expenses incurred in the first
quarter of 1998, these expenses decreased 4% in the first six months of 1998, as
compared to the same period last year.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                   OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Company's liquidity position as measured by cash and cash equivalents
(excluding restricted cash) increased $255,000 during the first six months of
fiscal 1998 to a balance of $3,686,000 at December 31, 1997, compared to
$1,707,000 used in the first six months of fiscal 1997.  Operating activities
generated $658,000 in fiscal 1998 compared to $999,000 used in fiscal 1997.  The
improved cash from operating activities was primarily due to fluctuations in
working capital balances.

Cash of $289,000 was used by investing activities in the second quarter of 1998,
compared to $712,000 used by investing activities last year.  The variance was
primarily due to $718,000 used in fiscal 1997 for the purchase of the interest
in Tate Integrated Systems, offset by the maturity of a long-term investment
which was converted into cash in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. Financing
activities used $111,000 in fiscal 1998 compared to $47,000 used in fiscal 1997.

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 $3,686,000 at December 31, 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.
