             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,
     1999 Annual Report and Form 10-K previously filed by the Company.

     Stock options to purchase 885,004 and 839,704 shares were excluded from the
     calculation of diluted loss per share for the six months ended December 31,
     1999 and the three and six months ended December 31, 1998, respectively,
     since the result would have been anti-dilutive.

4.   Segment Information
     -------------------

     SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
     Information," 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.

5.   Comprehensive Loss
     ------------------

     SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," 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 income (loss) is computed as follows (in thousands):

6.   Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In December 1999, the SEC Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
     "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements".  This Bulletin summarizes
     certain of the Staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting
     principles to selected revenue recognition issues.  The effect, if any, of
     adopting most of the guidance included in the Bulletin should be accounted
     for as a change in accounting principle no later than the first fiscal
     quarter of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1999.  The Company
     anticipates adopting such guidance in its fiscal quarter ending September
     30, 2000.  The Company is in the process of determining what impact, if
     any, this guidance will have on its revenue recognition.

                   OPERATION 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: future financial performance may be
impacted by the unavailability of sufficient capital on satisfactory terms to
finance the Company's business plan, general business and economic conditions in
the domestic and international markets, uncertainty in the viability of
international markets, particularly the Asian market, and the impact of
political unrest on market forces, the introduction of new technologies and
competitors into the systems and instrumentation markets where the Company
competes, uncertainties in acceptance of new products in the existing power and
process market environment, increased competition and changes in competitor
responses to the Company's products, further adverse changes in the regulatory
environment, availability of qualified personnel, and others.  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," "intends" or "should" 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, 1999, the Company recognized a net
profit of $617,000, or $0.14 per share, compared to a net loss of $346,000, or
$.08 per share, for the same period last year. Revenues increased 6% in the
second quarter from $10,539,000 last year to $11,151,000 this year.

The Company recognized a net loss of $104,000, or $0.02 per share, for the six
months ended December 31, 1999, compared to a net loss of $1,653,000, or $.39
per share, for the six months ended December 31, 1998. Revenues for the first
six months increased by 2% from $19,657,000 in fiscal 1999 to $20,056,000 in
fiscal 2000.

The 6% increase in revenues for the second quarter and the 2% increase in
revenues for the first six months were due to an increase in revenues from the
Motion Control segment (Motion Control), partially offset by a decrease in
revenues in the Power and Process segment (Power and Process).  Sales order
backlog is up 42% this year to $18,854,000 at December 31, 1999 from $13,283,000
at December 31, 1998.  Backlog for both Motion Control and Power and Process is
greater at December 31, 1999 than at December 31, 1998.

Revenues from Motion Control for the second quarter increased 47% from
$3,058,000 for the second quarter last year to $4,511,000 for the second quarter
this year.  Revenues for the six months increased 40% from $6,114,000 for the
six months last year to $8,578,000 for the current six-month period.  Pretax
profit for Motion Control for the second quarter was $721,000 compared to
$70,000 last year and, for the six months, pretax profit was $1,346,000 compared
to a loss of $24,000 last year.  The growth in Motion Control is a reflection of
expansion into new markets and broader segments of existing markets.

Power and Process revenues decreased from $7,481,000 for the second quarter
ended December 31, 1998 to $6,640,000 for the second quarter this year and from
$13,543,000 for the six months last year to $11,478,000 for the same period this
year.  Power and process realized a pretax profit of $35,000 for the second
quarter this year compared to a loss of $440,000 last year.  For the six months,
power and process had a pretax loss of $1,327,000 compared to a loss of
$1,591,000 last year.  The improvement in results is primarily due to the
Company's success in marketing systems automation products to the deregulated
power industry, the release of new products and the success of its Chinese joint
venture investments.  In addition, backlog for Power and Process orders has
strengthened during the six months ended December 31, 1999.

Sales to international customers increased from $3,367,000 in the second quarter
of the prior year, to  $4,065,000 in the second quarter of the current year.  In
the first six months, sales to international customers decreased slightly from
$6,606,000 in fiscal year 1999 to $6,553,000 in fiscal year 2000.

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

Foreign sales represented 36% of total sales in the quarter ended December 31,
1999 compared to 32% for the same quarter in fiscal year 1998 and 33% and 34% of
total sales were foreign sales for the six months ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues decreased from 63% in the
second quarter of fiscal year 1999 to 60% in the second quarter of the current
year.  Cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues also decreased from 65%
to 62% for the six months ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.  The
decrease in the cost of products sold as a percentage of revenues results
primarily from Motion Control and is due to changes in the mix of products sold
and absorption of fixed manufacturing costs by a larger sales volume.

Selling, general and administrative, and engineering and development expenses
decreased 8% in the second quarter and 6% in the first six months, as compared
to the same periods last year.  The decreases were due to the overall cost
reduction efforts of the Company.

During the first six months of fiscal year 2000, the Company recognized a
portion of its share of equity income from its Chinese joint ventures.  The
amounts recognized were $100,000 and $200,000 in the quarter and six months
ended December 31, 1999, respectively, as compared to $0 in the same periods
last year.  The amounts represent a portion of the joint ventures' expected
annual results.  The Company will revise its estimates of its share of equity in
income (loss) from its joint ventures as necessary over the remainder of the
fiscal year.

During the second quarter of the current year, the Company sold 3% of its
investment in its Si Fang joint venture for $143,000 and recognized a $126,000
gain on the sale.  The gain is included in other income in the statement of
operations for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1999.  The Company
reinvested the proceeds from the sale plus an additional $281,000 in cash
which includes the dividends received during the quarter of $139,000.  After
the sale and capital contribution, the Company's ownership interest is 20%.

For the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company recognized a $78,000
provision for income taxes compared to a benefit of $4,000 for the same period
last year.  For the first six months this year, a benefit of $36,000 was
recognized compared to $1,000 for the first six months last year.  The amounts
are based on projected taxable income and utilization of domestic net operating
losses carried forward.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's liquidity position as measured by cash and cash equivalents
(excluding restricted cash) decreased $708,000 during the first six months of
fiscal 2000 to a balance of $1,708,000 at December 31, 1999, compared to a
decrease of $1,695,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1999. In the first six
months of fiscal 2000, $435,000 was used for operating activities, compared to
$1,182,000 used in operations for the same period last fiscal year.  The
decreased use of cash was due to a decrease in net loss and release of
restricted cash partially offset by fluctuations in working capital balances.
Receivables increased $600,000 during the first six months of fiscal 2000 due to
an increase in sales during the period.  Inventories increased $1,042,000 due to
additional inventory purchases made to fulfil the Company's increased backlog of
orders and anticipated future orders.

Cash of $415,000 was used by investing activities in the first six months of
fiscal 2000, compared to $457,000 used by investing activities last year.  The
variance was primarily due to the purchase of Ashurst Logistic Electronics
Limited in the prior year offset by additional investment in a joint venture in
the current year.  Financing activities provided $135,000 in the first six
months of fiscal 2000 compared to $53,000 used in fiscal 1999.  The difference
was due to smaller repayments and larger borrowings on the line of credit in the
current year.

The Company's remaining fiscal 2000 working capital, capital expenditure and
debt service requirements are expected to be funded from future cash flows from
operations, the existing cash balance of $1,708,000 and the $1,557,000 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. The Company's long-term financing agreement with Silicon
Valley Bank matures on May 7, 2000 but will continue for successive additional
terms of one year unless either party gives notice of termination at least sixty
days before the maturity date. The Company has not received notice of
termination and does not anticipate receiving or giving such notice, however, if
such notice was received, the Company would pursue other lenders to meet its
long-term financing needs. Although the Company believes it would be successful
in its efforts to obtain alternate financing, there are no assurances that it
will be successful in doing so. An inability to obtain such alternate financing
may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and
financial condition and could require the Company to implement various strategic
alternatives.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

In fiscal 1999, the Company adopted a "Y2K Readiness Program" and prepared for
Year 2000 effects on 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 not experienced, and does not anticipate
experiencing in the future, any Year 2000 related failures in its products.  In
addition there was no interruption in or failure of normal business activities
or operations due to Year 2000 failures experienced in its internal systems,
processes and facilities or from its key vendors, supplier or subcontractors nor
are any anticipated in the future.

The Company's activities related to Year 2000 compliance were performed with
internal resources.  All payroll and associated costs related to the Year 2000
issue were expensed as incurred. Year 2000 activities did not delay other
projects or materially impact the Company's business however, certain customers
may have deferred purchases of certain power products due to their own Year 2000
concerns.  With the Year 2000 rollover completed, the Company anticipates it
will obtain any such deferred sales throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.
The Company will continue to monitor whether it needs to further address any
anticipated costs, problems and uncertainties associated with Year 2000
consequences.
