PART I

Item 1. Business.

INTRODUCTION

Hathaway Corporation (the Company) was organized under the laws of Colorado in
1962. At the end of fiscal year 1996 (ended June 30, 1996), the Company had two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hathaway Systems Corporation (HSC) and subsidiaries
and Computer Optical Products, Inc. As used herein, the "Company" refers to
both the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company's executive
offices are located at 8228 Park Meadows Drive, Littleton, Colorado 80124.

PRINCIPAL BUSINESSES

The Company is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling
advanced electronic instrumentation products to the worldwide power and process
industries, as well as motion control products to a broad spectrum of customers
throughout the world.

Power and Process Instrumentation. Power monitoring and control systems are
comprised of systems and instrumentation used to monitor and control the
operations of power generating, transmission and distribution facilities of
electric utility and process control companies, to provide the means to remotely
monitor and control power utility substations, and to test circuit breakers and
calibrate instruments used by electric utility and process control companies.

HSC operates three product divisions - Hathaway Systems (located in Denver,
Colorado), Hathaway Automation Technology (located in Seattle, Washington), and
Hathaway Process Instrumentation (located in Dallas, Texas). HSC also operates
three subsidiaries - Hathaway, Inc. (located in Toronto, Canada), Hathaway
Systems Limited (HSL) and Hathaway Instruments Limited (HIL). Both HSL and HIL
are located in the United Kingdom. The subsidiaries and divisions of HSC are
engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of power monitoring and
control systems and process instrumentation.

The power instrumentation products group manufactures fault and disturbance
monitoring and circuit breaker testing systems which provide a graphic waveform
record of the performance of electric power systems during periods of recovery
from faults and disturbances. These fault recording systems are sold primarily
to electric utility companies who use the data obtained to assure the proper
operation and reliability of the power system. The group also manufactures
Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) systems and Energy Management Systems (EMS). RTUs are located in power
substations or on utility poles and electronically report power system
measurements and status to a central computer system. The primary mission of
these systems is to present the state of the power system to power dispatch
personnel, and to allow them to remotely effect changes in its configuration or
operation to maintain efficient and continuous delivery of power.

Effective June 30, 1996 the net assets and substantially all operations of HIL
were transferred to HSL. Since September, 1992 HIL, located in Hoddesdon,
England, had been responsible for the design, manufacture and sale of fault
location instruments to power utility companies located throughout the world.
In connection with the asset transfer, substantially all operations of HIL will
be combined with the operations of HSL. The consolidation of the operations of
HSL and HIL is aimed at reducing costs and enhancing productivity and
efficiency.

To further increase productivity and efficiency and gain additional cost
savings, the Company decided in the first quarter of 1997 to consolidate its
U.S. power products manufacturing operations located in Denver and Seattle into
one manufacturing facility located in Seattle. The consolidation of the U.S.
power manufacturing operations will take place in the second quarter of fiscal
1997.

The process instrumentation products group manufactures and markets monitoring
systems which provide either visual annunciation and/or printed messages
whenever a monitored "point" changes from an existing state. These systems are
called visual annunciators and sequential event recorders (SER's). Visual
annunciators and SER's are sold to electric utility companies and the process
industry in general. Visual annunciators provide both visual and audible alert
signals whenever a process variable goes into an alarm state. SER's provide a
printed message whenever a monitored "point" changes state.

1


The group also manufactures and sells combined annunciator/SER systems with
distributed architecture (which significantly reduces installation costs) for
power plant applications and is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of
power transducers which are sold to the process and power utility industries, as
well as calibrators and signal conditioning products which are sold to the
process industry.

In order to gain cost savings and efficiencies, as of June 30, 1996 the Company
had decided to combine the operations of Hathaway, Inc and Hathaway Process
Instrumentation. Accordingly, all operations of Hathaway, Inc. will be moved to
Dallas, Texas in fiscal 1997.

The Company has three joint venture investments in China - Zibo Kehui Electric
Company Ltd. (Kehui), Hathaway Si Fang Protection and Control Company (Si Fang),
and Hathaway Power Monitoring Systems Company, Ltd. (HPMS). The Company holds
a 25% interest in Kehui and Si Fang and a 40% interest in HPMS. The Company's
joint venture interests in Kehui and Si Fang were acquired in fiscal 1994. The
Company's joint venture interest in HPMS was acquired in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 upon approval of the joint venture by the Chinese government. Kehui
designs, manufactures and sells cable and overhead fault location, SCADA systems
and other test instruments within the China market and the Company will sell
these products outside of China. Si Fang designs, manufactures and sells a new
generation of digital protective relays, control equipment and instrumentation
products for substations in power transmission and distribution systems. HPMS
will design, manufacture and sell, under a license from the Company,
instrumentation products designed by the Company, to electric power companies in
China.

Motion Control Instrumentation. The Company's motion control products include
direct current (brush and brushless) motors, optical encoders, servo amplifiers
and fiber optic encoders which suit a wide range of applications in the
industrial, medical, military and aerospace sectors. The products are also used
by manufacturers of analytical instruments and computer peripherals.

The Company's motion control business is organized into two divisions and one
subsidiary: Hathaway Motion Control Division, Hathaway Motors and Instruments
Division and Computer Optical Products, Inc., respectively.

The Hathaway Motion Control Division provides brushless direct current motors,
servo amplifiers and related system components to industrial, medical,
automotive and military/aerospace markets in a diverse range of applications.

The Hathaway Motors and Instruments Division in Tulsa, Oklahoma, manufactures
precision direct-current fractional horsepower motors with .8" to 4.0"
diameters and certain motor components. Industrial equipment and military
products are the major application for the motors. This division also supplies
spare parts and replacement equipment for general purpose instrumentation
products.

Optical encoders are manufactured by Computer Optical Products, Inc., in
Chatsworth, California. An optical encoder determines the speed of various
mechanical parts within computer printers and plotters and analytical
instruments. In plotters, the encoder is used to control the position of the x
and y axis pins. The primary markets for the optical encoders are industrial,
medical and computer peripheral manufacturers.

In order to optimize the profitability of the motor/encoder assemblies, the
Company also manufactures encoder-compatible precision direct-current fractional
horsepower motors from in its Computer Optical Products, Inc. facility. The 1"
to 4" diameter motors are sold separately or are combined with optical encoders
for sale as an assembly. The primary markets are computer peripheral
manufacturers, instrumentation and industrial equipment manufacturers and
military applications.

The Fiberoptics Division of Computer Optical Products designs, manufactures and
markets fiber optic-based encoders with characteristics suited for industrial,
aerospace and military environments. Fiber optical encoders are immune to radio
frequency interference and electromagnetic pulses and will tolerate temperatures
to 300(degree)C. Applications include airborne navigational systems, anti-lock
braking transducers, missile flight surface controls and high temperature
process control equipment.

AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS

All parts and materials used by the company are in adequate supply. No
significant parts or materials are acquired from a single source.

SEASONALITY OF THE BUSINESS

The Company's business is not of a seasonal nature.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

The Company considers all of its operations to be in one industry segment -
electronic instrumentation.

PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER INFORMATION

Product Distribution and Principal Markets. In addition to its own marketing and
sales force, the Company has developed a worldwide network of independent sales
representatives and agents to market its various product lines.

Historically, the principal market for the Company's products has been the power
and process industries. Since fiscal year 1991, however, with the acquisition
of subsidiaries, development of new products and the expansion of existing
products to other industrial applications, the Company has penetrated a variety
of markets. The Company faces competition in all of its markets, although the
number of competitors varies depending upon the product. The Company believes
there are only a small number of competitors in the power and process markets,
but there are numerous competitors in the motion control market. The Company
believes it is the world's leading manufacturer of electric power fault
recording equipment, with approximately 30% of the world market in the last
fiscal year. No clear market share data is available for the Company's other
product areas. Competition involves primarily product performance and price,
although service and warranty are also important.

Two significant changes in the power industry have recently had an impact on the
domestic and European power instrumentation markets. In October of 1992, the
Energy Policy Act of 1992 became law in the United States and is causing
increased competition among the domestic electric utility companies. The Act
requires power companies to transmit competitors' power across their own power
networks and allows them to compete with each other for sales to major customers
across the United States. In March of 1990, the government owned utility company
in the United Kingdom was privatized in order to increase competition throughout
the United Kingdom power industry (a major foreign market of the Company). The
Energy Policy Act in the United States and privatization in the United Kingdom
has led to downsizing and cost reductions by most utility companies and,
accordingly, a reduction in demand for power instrumentation products. It is
uncertain how long this trend will continue, but the Company believes that
utilities will have to increase purchases of instrumentation that protect and
monitor their systems in order to maintain the high quality of power provided to
the consumer. The Company is developing new technology that will allow power
companies to automate their systems, which will both reduce the cost of
operation and improve the reliability of the power supply.

Government Sales from Continuing Operations. Approximately $63,000 of the
Company's backlog from continuing operations as of June 30, 1996 consisted of
contracts with the United States Government. The Company's contracts with the
government contain a provision generally found in government contracts which
permits the government to terminate the contract at its option. When the
termination is attributable to no fault of the Company, the government would, in
general, have to pay the Company certain allowable costs up to the time of
termination, but there is no compensation for loss of profits.

Sales to Large Customers. During fiscal 1996, no single customer accounted for
more than 10% of the Company's consolidated revenue from continuing operations.

Export Sales from Continuing Domestic Operations and Foreign Operations. The
information required by this item is set forth in pages 13 and 17 of the
Company's 1996 Annual Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Sales Backlog. The backlog of the Company's continuing operations at June 30,
1996 consisted of sales orders totaling approximately $10,094,000. The Company
expects to ship goods filling $9,982,000 of those purchase orders within fiscal
1997. This compares to a backlog from continuing operations of $8,878,000 at
June 30, 1995, of which $8,314,000 was scheduled for shipment is fiscal 1996.

The Company's expenditures on engineering and development for continuing
operations were $3,722,000 in fiscal 1996, $3,616,000 in fiscal 1995 and
$4,111,000 in fiscal 1994. Of these expenditures, no material amounts were
charged directly to customers.

The Company currently maintains inventory levels adequate for its short-term
needs based upon present levels of production. The Company considers the
component parts of its different product lines to be readily available and
current suppliers to be reliable and capable of satisfying anticipated needs.

No pollution or other types of emission result from the Company's operations and
it is not anticipated that the Company's proposed operations will be affected by
Federal, State or local provisions concerning environmental controls.

As of the end of fiscal 1996, the Company had approximately 382 full-time
employees.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, and Concessions. The Company holds
several patents and trademarks regarding components used by the various
subsidiaries; however, none of these patents and trademarks are considered to be
of major significance.

Executive Officers. The Executive Officers of the Company are:

Mr. Eugene E. Prince, 64, has been President of the Company since October 1975,
was appointed Chief Executive Officer in September 1976, and was appointed
Chairman of the Board of Directors in January 1981.

Mr. Richard D. Smith, 49, has been the Company's Treasurer and Chief Financial
Officer since June 1983. From June 1983 until March 1986, Mr. Smith was the
Company's Secretary, and from March 1986 to January 1990 he was the Company's
Assistant Secretary. Since January 1990, Mr. Smith has resumed the
responsibilities of Secretary. Mr. Smith also served as the Company's Vice
President of Finance from June 1983 until August 1993. In August 1993, Mr. Smith
was made an Executive Vice President of the Company. In August 1996, Mr. Smith
became a Director of the Company.

Each of the above officers is elected for a term of one year.
