             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 inter-
     company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to
     conform with 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 which 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,
     1998 Annual Report and Form 10-K previously filed by the Company.

     all the outstanding shares of Ashurst Logistic Electronics Limited of
     Bournemouth, England (Ashurst) for $317,000 in cash. Ashurst manufactures
     drive electronics and position controllers for a variety of motor
     technologies as well as a family of static frequency converters for
     military and aerospace applications and has extensive experience in power
     electronics design and software development required for the application of

3.   Business Acquisition (Continued)
     --------------------------------
     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 preliminary net purchase price allocation is
     as follows (in thousands):
 
     Cash                                     $  36

4.   Earnings Per Share
     ------------------
     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
     128, "Earnings Per Share" (EPS), Basic and Diluted EPS have been computed
     as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

</TABLE>

     At December 31, 1998 and 1997, stock options totaling 839,704 and 708,704,
     respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss)
     per share since the result would have been anti-dilutive.

5.   Segment Information
     -------------------
     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
     SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
     Information" (SFAS 131).  SFAS 131 requires disclosure of operating
     segments, which as defined, are components of an enterprise about which
     separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly
     by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate
     resources and in assessing performance.

     The Company operates in two different segments: Power and Process Business
     (Power and Process) and Motion Control Business (Motion Control).
     Management has chosen to organize the Company around these segments based
     on differences in products and services.

6.   Comprehensive Loss
     ------------------
     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
     Income," (SFAS 130).  SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and
     displaying comprehensive income and its components.  Comprehensive income
     is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period
     from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner
     sources.  It includes all changes in equity during a period except those
     resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

     Comprehensive loss is computed as follows (in thousands):

7.   Income Tax Ruling Request
     -------------------------
     In June 1998, the Company filed a request for an income tax ruling by the
     Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to the tax-free treatment of
     the possible spinoff of its Power, Systems and Process Business. The
     proposed spinoff would separate the Company's Power, Systems and Process
     Business from its Motion Control Business.  Prior to the spinoff, the
     Power, Systems and Process Business will be organized under one of
     Hathaway's subsidiaries, Hathaway Systems Corporation (HSC).  If such
     transaction were to occur, all of the outstanding shares of HSC would be
     distributed to the Hathaway shareholders, and thereafter, the Power,
     Systems and Process Business would operate as a separate publicly-owned
     company under the name of Hathaway Corporation and the Motion Control
     Business would operate as a separate publicly-owned company under the name
     of Hathaway Motion Control Corporation.

     In December 1998, the IRS issued a favorable ruling on the proposed
     transaction.  The primary purpose for the spinoff would be to obtain
     additional bank financing.  The final decision as to whether to proceed
     with the spinoff will be made by the Company's Board of Directors only
     after approval is obtained from the Company's lenders and after
     consideration of other factors at that time.  Because management has not
     committed to such spinoff, the Power, Systems and Process Business has not
     been treated as a discontinued operation.

All statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private

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

Operating Results
- -----------------
For the second quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company recognized a net
loss of $346,000, or $.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $157,000, or $.04
per share, for the same period last year. Revenues decreased 5% in the second
quarter from $11,137,000 last year to $10,539,000 this year.

The Company recognized a net loss of $1,653,000, or $.39 per share, for the six
months ended December 31, 1998, compared to a net loss of $746,000, or $.17 per
share, for the six months ended December 31, 1997. Revenues for the first six
months decreased by 5% from $20,676,000 in fiscal 1998 to $19,657,000 in fiscal
1999.

The 5% decrease in revenues in both the second quarter and the first six months
were due to a 17% and 12% decrease, respectively, in revenues from the Company's
motion control products.  These decreases in revenues were caused by decreased
orders resulting from the Asian economic crisis and the slow down in the
semiconductor industry.  Revenues from the Company's power and process
instrumentation products remained relatively consistent between the current and
prior periods.

Sales to international customers decreased slightly from $3,547,000 in the
second quarter of the prior year, to  $3,367,000 in the second quarter of the
current year. In the first six months, sales to international customers
increased from $6,527,000 in fiscal year 1998 to $6,606,000 in fiscal year 1999.
Foreign sales represented 32% of total sales in both the quarters ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, and 34% and 32% of total sales in the six months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues decreased from 64% in the
second quarter of fiscal year 1998 to 63% in the second quarter of the current
year.  Cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues remained consistent at
65% for the six months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.  Fluctuations in the
cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues were 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
increased 5% in the second quarter and 2% in the first six months, as compared
to the same periods last year.  The increases were due to increased efforts in
the development and sale of new products for the deregulated power industry.

For the six months ended December 31, 1998, the Company recognized a $1,000
provision for income taxes compared to a benefit for income taxes of $299,000
recognized last year.  The decrease is primarily due to an increase in the
valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's liquidity position as measured by cash and cash equivalents
(excluding restricted cash) decreased $1,695,000 during the first six months of
fiscal 1999 to a balance of $1,748,000 at December 31, 1998, compared to
$255,000 provided in the first six months of fiscal 1998. In the first six
months of fiscal 1999, $1,182,000 was used for operating activities, compared to
$658,000 provided by operations for the same period last fiscal year.

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


Cash of $457,000 was used by investing activities in the first six months of
fiscal 1999, compared to $289,000 used by investing activities last year.  The
variance was primarily due to cash used in fiscal 1999 for the purchase of
Ashurst Logistic Electronics Limited, offset by a dividend of $121,000 received
from a joint venture investment during the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
Financing activities used $53,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1999
compared to $111,000 used in fiscal 1998.

The Company's remaining fiscal 1999 working capital, capital expenditure and
debt service requirements are expected to be funded from the existing cash
balance of $1,748,000 and the $1,808,000 available under the long-term financing
agreement.  The Company believes that such amounts are sufficient to fund
operations and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months.


Year 2000 Compliance

Some computers and computer-based systems use only the last two digits to
identify a year in the date field and cannot distinguish the year 2000 from the
year 1900.  The Company recognizes that the Year 2000 poses a challenge to the
proper functioning of computer systems included in its products, software
systems used in its business and items purchased from its suppliers.  The
Company has adopted a "Y2K Readiness Program" and is taking what it believes to
be appropriate steps necessary in preparation for Year 2000 issues.

The Company is completing an assessment of its products to determine which
products will be affected by Year 2000 issues. Test procedures have been modeled
from the public document titled "Year 2000 Test Procedures", published by
General Motors Corporation, and include a step by step method of date
verification using each interface to the product.  Modifications and updates are
being made as needed.  Testing of most products is completed or under way.  With
the possible exception of some of the older RTU protocol software, testing of
all of the Company's current products will be complete before December 31, 1999.
Some of the Company's older products that are no longer sold will not be tested
for compliance.  The Company will indicate on its Web site which products will
not be tested.

The Company is also assessing internal systems, processes and facilities for
Year 2000 compliance.  The expected completion date to have all significant
internal systems, processes and facilities compliant is June 30, 1999.  The
Company assessment of its suppliers', service providers' and contractors' Year
2000 compliance is also ongoing and is expected to be completed by June 30,
1999.  Alternative sources will be pursued for any non-compliant sources.
Additionally, alternative sources will be identified and qualified for all
compliant sources so that a secondary supplier will be available in the event
that disruption in supply occurs from the primary supplier.

The Company currently believes it will be able to modify or offer alternative
products as well as modify or replace its affected systems in time to minimize
any detrimental effects on customer relationships or operations.  Therefore, the
Company does not anticipate that the overall costs of adaptation of its products
and systems will be material to the Company's business, operations or financial
condition.  However, the Company will continue to review on an ongoing basis
whether it needs to further address any anticipated costs, problems and
uncertainties associated with Year 2000 consequences.
