B: Hathaway (HWYI) Issues Statement Clarifying "Due Bill Period" and "Ex-Dividen
Date" According to NASDAQ ( Market Wire )

ST. PETERSBURG, FL, Mar 22, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Hathaway Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HWYI), a business development
company that focuses on companies in the communications,
telecommunications software and medical devices industries, issued
the following statement regarding the "Due Bill Period" and
"Ex-Dividend Date" according to information obtained from The NASDAQ
Stock Market Dividend Department and previously issued in a press
release dated February 16, 2007:

"Please be advised that the shares of HWYI will continue to trade
with the right to receive the shares of OptiCon Systems Inc. until
after the shares of OptiCon Systems Inc. are registered and are ready
to be distributed. This is called a 'due bill period'; a due bill
period extends from the record date until the ex-dividend date. In
the event the shareholder sells their securities during this due bill
period, all rights to the OptiCon spin off shares will be transferred
to the buyer of the shares and the original shareholder will give up
his right to the dividend shares."

"Per this information from NASDAQ, it is clear that any person that
has sold their shares in Hathaway during this due bill period will not
be entitled to any dividend shares. In addition, per NASDAQ, any
persons purchasing Hathaway securities between the due bill period and
the ex-dividend date shall have full rights to receive the dividend
shares in OptiCon. We have filed the forms with NASDAQ and have not
received any indication when the ex-dividend date will be issued.
Once OptiCon Systems Inc.'s form 10-SB registration statement is
effective and cleared of SEC comments and we receive an ex-dividend
date from NASDAQ, we will issue a press release," stated Mr. Paul D.
Lisenby, CEO and Interim Chairman of Hathaway.
