  Forward-Looking Statements
  
       Some of the information in this report on Form 8-K or the
  documents incorporated by reference in this report on Form 8-K may
  contain forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements
  by words or phrases such as "will likely result," "may," "are expected
  to," "will continue to," "is anticipated," "estimate," "projected,"
  "intends to" or other similar words.  These forward-looking statements
  regarding our business and prospects are based upon numerous
  assumptions about future conditions, which may ultimately prove to be
  inaccurate.  Actual events and results may materially differ from
  anticipated results described in those statements.  Forward-looking
  statements involve risks and uncertainties described under "Business"
  in the Halifax Corporation Form 10-K as well as other portions of this
  report on Form 8-K, which could cause our actual results to differ
  materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated.
  When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep those risk
  factors in mind as well as the other cautionary statements in this
  report on Form 8-K.  You should not place undue reliance on any forward-
  looking statement.
