             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):

                    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 third quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company recognized a net loss of
$690,000 or $.16 per share, compared to a net loss of $936,000 or $.22 per
share, for the same period last year. Included in these results are net losses
of $419,000 and $503,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
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 losses of $271,000 and $433,000 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Revenues increased 4% in the third
quarter from $9,443,000 last year to $9,804,000 this year.

The Company recognized a net loss of $1,436,000, or $.33 per share, for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to a net loss of $1,537,000, or $.36 per
share, for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.  Included in these results are
HIA's net losses of $1,362,000 and $609,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. Excluding HIA, the Company recognized net losses of
$74,000 and $928,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Revenues for the first nine months increased 6% from $28,629,000
in fiscal 1997 to $30,480,000 in fiscal 1998.

The 4% increase in revenues in the third quarter was due to a 1% increase in
revenues from the Company's motion control products and a 5% increase in
revenues from the Company's power and process instrumentation products.  The 6%
increase in revenues for the first nine months was due to a 10% increase in
revenues from the Company's motion control products and a 5% increase in
revenues from the Company's power and process products.  For the first nine
months, the 5% increase in power and process revenues was due to revenues being
generated by HIA during all three quarters of 1998 compared to only two quarters
during 1997, partially offset by a 2% decrease in traditional power and process
revenues.

In the third quarter, sales to international customers increased from $3,461,000
in fiscal 1997 to $3,719,000 in fiscal 1998. In the first nine months, sales to
international customers decreased from $10,410,000 to $10,246,000.  Foreign
sales represented 38% and 37% of total sales in the quarter ended March 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively, and 34% and 36% of total sales in the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter and the
first nine months ended March 31, 1998 remained reasonably consistent with the
prior year, decreasing from 67% to 64% in the third quarter and remaining at 65%
in the first nine 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 2% in the third quarter and increased 2% in the first nine 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 3% in the first nine months of 1998,
as compared to the same period last year.

                   OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Company's liquidity position as measured by cash and cash equivalents
(excluding restricted cash) decreased by $356,000 during the first nine months
of fiscal 1998 to a balance of $3,075,000 at March 31, 1998, compared to
$1,938,000 used in the first nine months of fiscal 1997.  Operating activities
generated $720,000 in fiscal 1998 compared to $922,000 used in fiscal 1997.  The
improved cash from operating activities was primarily due to fluctuations in
working capital balances.

Cash of $514,000 was used by investing activities during the first nine months
of 1998, compared to $970,000 used by investing activities last year.  The
variance was primarily due to $788,000 used in fiscal 1997 for the purchase of
the interest in Tate Integrated Systems, partially offset by the maturity of a
long-term investment which was converted into cash during the first nine months
of fiscal 1997. Financing activities used $564,000 in fiscal 1998 compared to
$79,000 used in fiscal 1997, primarily due to increased line of credit
repayments.

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 $3,075,000 at March 31, 1998.  In addition, the Company is seeking
additional debt financing in order to supplement its long-term financial
resources.
