  Forward Looking Statements
  
       Certain statements in this document 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 circumstances
  over many of which we have little or no control.  Forward-looking
  statements may be identified by words including "anticipate,"
  "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions.  Halifax
  Corporation ("Halifax" or the "Company") cautions 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 the
  Company's revenues, risks involved in contracting with its customers,
  government contracting risks, absence of dividends, potential conflicts
  of interest, difficulties in attracting, and retaining management,
  professional and administrative staff, fluctuation in quarterly
  results, risks related to acquisitions and risks related to the
  Company's acquisition strategy, continued favorable banking
  relationships, the availability of capital to finance operations and
  planned growth, ramifications of the embezzlement matter referenced
  herein, risks related to competition and the Company's ability to
  continue to perform efficiently on contracts, and other risks and
  factors identified from time to time in the Company's 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.
