  Item 8.01  Other Events.
  
  
       Halifax Corporation of Virginia (the "Company") announced that it
  has lost a major contact valued at approximately $3.5 million per year.
  The contract was terminated pursuant to its terms upon 30 days notice
  to the Company.  The reason for such termination was based strictly on
  price of services provided.  The Company believes its SLA performance
  on this account has been above expectations throughout.  The contract
  work involved site based maintenance services for an aeronautics
  company with locations throughout the U.S. and is expected to wind down
  in November 2007.  Halifax has provided services to this aeronautics
  company since 2006. The Company is taking cost reduction actions to
  neutralize the impact of this contract loss.
