Hathaway (HWYI) Announces Extension for Spin-Off of OptiCon Systems, Inc.
Friday December 15, 2006

Previous Date of December 19, 2006 to Be Extended Pending Comments on Form 10-SB

Hathaway Corporation, a leading global provider of communications and telecommunications software, announced today the company has encountered unexpected delays in the dividend date for the spin-off of OptiCon. The company issued the following statement:

"Hathaway's board of directors announced today that it has cancelled the previously announced record date of December 19, 2006 for distribution of a dividend in the common stock of OptiCon Systems, Inc. Distribution of the dividend requires OptiCon to file a registration statement on Form 10-SB with the SEC and trading of OptiCon stock requires issuance of a trading symbol by the NASD. Due to unexpected delays in preparation and filing of the registration statement, Hathaway's board of directors has decided to postpone the record date and reestablish another date until such time as it can be more certain about the earliest date the dividend may be distributed. Hathaway will inform the investors of the reestablished record date as soon as it becomes available."
