  FOREWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
  
  
       Certain statements in this Currant Report on Form 8-K constitute
  "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private
  Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While forward-looking
  statements sometimes are presented with numerical specificity, they are
  based on various assumptions made by management regarding future events
  over which we have little or no control.  Forward-looking statements
  may be identified by words including "anticipate," "believe,"
  "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions.  We caution readers that
  forward-looking statements, including without limitation, those
  relating to future business prospects, revenues, working capital,
  liquidity, and income, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
  that would cause actual results to differ materially from those
  indicated in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause
  actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include the
  concentration of our revenues, risks involved in contracting with our
  customers, including difficulties to accurately estimate costs when
  bidding on a contract and the occurrence of start-up costs prior to
  receiving revenues and contract with fixed price provisions, government
  contracting risks, potential conflicts of interest, difficulties we may
  have in attracting and retaining management, professional and
  administrative staff, fluctuation in quarterly results, risks related
  to acquisitions and acquisition strategy, continued favorable banking
  relationships, the availability of capital to finance operations and
  ability to make payments on outstanding indebtedness, weakened economic
  conditions, acts of terrorism, risks related to competition and our
  ability to continue to perform efficiently on contracts, and other
  risks and factors identified from time to time in the reports we file
  with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our
  Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Should one or more of these risks or
  uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
  incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated,
  estimated or projected.
  
       Forward-looking statements are intended to apply only at the time
  they are made.  Moreover, whether or not stated in connection with a
  forward-looking statement, the Company undertakes no obligation to
  correct or update a forward-looking statement should we later become
  aware that it is not likely to be achieved.  If the Company were to
  update or correct a forward-looking statement, you should not conclude
  that the Company will make additional updates or correction thereafter.
  
  Item 4.01  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
  
       On January 7, 2008, the Audit Committee of Halifax Corporation of
  Virginia (the "Company") elected to dismiss Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant
  Thornton") as the Company's independent auditor effective January 7,
  2008. The Company's Audit Committee is in process of engaging a new
  independent auditor to audit the Company's fiscal 2008 financial
  statements.
  
       The reports of Grant Thornton, on the financial statements of the
  Company during the two-year period ended March 31, 2007, did not
  contain an adverse opinion, or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not
  qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
  principles.  During the two-year period ended March 31, 2007 and
  interim period from April 1, 2007 through January 7, 2008, (1) the
  Company did not have any disagreements with Grant Thornton on any
  matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
  disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not
  resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused it to
  make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in
  connection with its reports, and (2) no reportable events as described
  in Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K occurred except that, as disclosed
  in Item 9A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
  year ended March 31, 2007 and in Item 4 of the Company's Quarterly
  Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and September
  30, 2007, we were advised by Grant Thornton that control deficiencies
  in our internal control over financial reporting relating to income tax
  reporting existed as of March 31, 2007 that constituted a material
  weakness within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
  Board's (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2 as a result of the lack of
  qualified personnel to properly review and administer the Company's tax
  matters. In July 2007, management completed the remediation of the
  material weakness by retaining an outside professional service firm to
  assist in the area of income tax reporting.
  
       In connection with the filing of this Form 8-K, Grant Thornton was
  provided with a copy of this disclosure and was requested by the
  Company to furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the SEC stating
  whether Grant Thornton  agrees with the above statements.  A copy of
  Grant Thornton's letter to the SEC is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.2
  to this Form 8-K.
