See notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Halifax Corporation Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2001. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Halifax Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2000. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. The guidelines in SAB No. 101 must be adopted by the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of SAB No. 101 on its financial position and results of operations. Note 2 - Embezzlement On March 18, 1999, the Company announced that an internal investigation had revealed a material embezzlement by the former controller of one of the Company's subsidiaries. The embezzlement had a material effect on the Company's financial statements for fiscal years 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997. In addition to the correction for overstated assets and understated liabilities, the Company recorded a gross embezzlement loss of $6,093,000, $6,044,000 and $2,892,000 for fiscal years ended March 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The embezzlement occurred over a four year period and aggregated approximately $15.4 million of which approximately $15 million was embezzled from the Company and $400,000 from CMSA prior to its acquisition by Halifax. After net recoveries through March 31, 2000, the cumulative net embezzlement was approximately $9.3 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company recovered approximately $2,075,000 (net of recovery costs of $350,000) related to the ongoing recovery effort. The specific terms and conditions associated with the payment, including the identity of the party, are subjects of a confidentiality agreement that precludes disclosure. For the six months ended September 30, 2000, the net embezzlement recovery was $1,821,000. Note 3 - Discontinued Operations On June 2, 2000, the Company executed and delivered a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 31, 2000, with U.S. Facilities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Buyer") providing for the sale by the Company to the Buyer of Company's operational outsourcing business (the "Business"). The closing of the transactions contemplated in the Agreement (the "Closing") took place simultaneously with the execution and delivery thereof, effective as of May 31, 2000. At the Closing the Company sold to the Buyer, all of the capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Halifax Technical Services, Inc. for a purchase price of $5,600,000, of which $5,500,000 was paid by the Buyer to the Company at Closing with the balance of $100,000 due on the first anniversary of the Closing. The purchase price remains subject to various adjustments set forth in the Agreement. A portion of the proceeds received by the Company, in the approximate amount of $2,900,000, was applied on the date of the Closing to the repayment of a portion of its outstanding bank debt. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of $1,594,000 (net of income taxes of $200,000) The Company and the Buyer executed and exchanged at Closing, a Transition Agreement pursuant to which the Company, for a limited period of time following the Closing, provided administrative assistance and other transition services to the Buyer in connection with the Buyer's acquisition of the Business. Summary operating results of the Discontinued Operations are as follows:
For the six months ended September 30, (unaudited) 2000 1999 Revenue $ 4,636,000 $ 12,190,000 Costs and expenses 4,392,000 11,828,000 Income from discontinued operations $ 244,000 $ 362,000
Note 4 - Tax Matters At September 30, 2000, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $7.4 million, virtually all of which expires in fiscal 2019. Income tax expense (primarily state taxes), for the three and six months ended September 30, 2000 was $15,000 and $30,000, respectively, compared to $0 for the same respective periods in 1999. Note 5 - Debt Advances under the revolving credit agreement and term loan facilities are collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the Company's assets as defined in the revolving credit agreement. The banking agreement also contains financial covenants and financial reporting covenants. At September 30, 2000, the Company has excluded $4,925,000 of the revolving credit agreement from current liabilities because it anticipates it would remain outstanding for an uninterrupted period extending beyond one year from the balance sheet date. The Company amended its banking agreement on July 5, 2000, which extended the agreement through July 1, 2001. The Company agreed to make certain accelerated payments on the term loan portion of its debt, apply a portion of settlement proceeds, if any, to term debt balances outstanding and to reduce its maximum line and the revolving credit agreement to $6,000,000. In accordance with the terms of the new banking arrangement, the Company made additional principal payments on the Tier II and Tier III Term Notes. In addition, the Company paid certain fees in connection with the amendment and will be subject to additional monthly fees commencing January 1, 2001 if the current banking arrangement has not been refinanced. The Company is presently pursuing alternative financing sources. The agreement prohibits the payment of dividends or distributions as well as the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt. Interest expense on subordinated debt is accrued on a current basis. In September 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with a major supplier of digital communications switch hardware for the Company's United States Army contract where approximately $5,500,000 of outstanding accounts payable arising since March 31, 1999 due to the supplier, was converted to a note payable which is being paid over 18 months with interest at 8.5%. In September and October 1999, $507,000 was paid and $299,965 is being paid on the first day of the next consecutive 15 months, with a final payment of $299,974 is due on February 1, 2001. The balance of the note at September 30, 2000 was $1,733,000. The balance of debt at September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $7,059,000 and $13,602,000, respectively. The balance of the subordinated debt was $4,000,000 at September 30, 2000 and 1999. The current portion of long- term debt was $1,733,000 and $2,775,000 at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions in the Company's market area, inflation, favorable banking arrangements, the availability of capital to finance planned growth, ramifications of the embezzlement referenced herein, changes in government regulations, availability of skilled personnel and competition, which may, among other things impact on the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy. Forward-looking statements are intended to apply only at the time they are made.

Revenues Revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2000, decreased 19% and 17% , respectively from the comparable periods in 1999, principally due to reductions in hardware orders, IT services and seat management installation. Operating Costs and Expenses Cost of services for the three and six months ended September 30, 2000 decreased by 18% and 15%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1999, primarily as a result of the decline in revenues from the aforementioned hardware sales and services. General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2000 decreased by 23% and 22%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 1999, principally due to an ongoing cost containment program which was further accelerated by the sale of the Company's Operational Outsourcing Division. Operating Income For the three and six months ended September 30, 2000, the Company incurred an operating loss of $53,000 and $89,000, respectively, as compared to operating income of $137,000 and $510,000 for the comparable periods ended September 30, 1999. The principal reason for the lack of operating income in the period ended September 30, 2000 was the additional investment in sales and marketing activity related to the Company's IT services and solutions markets and the reduction in hardware sales and services and reduction in US Army revenue. Interest Expense Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased by 12% from the comparable periods in 1999, principally as a result of increased loan fees. For the six months ended September 30, 2000, interest expense decreased by 23% from the comparable periods in 1999, principally as a result of curtailment of debt. Embezzlement Recovery Embezzlement recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were $2,075,000 (net of settlement costs). For additional discussion see "Embezzlement Matter" in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. For the six months ended September 30, 2000, the net embezzlement recovery was $1,821,000. Income Taxes Income taxes for the three and six months ended September 30, 2000 relate to state obligations of $15,000 and $30,000, respectively. The Company did not record any income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 1999. Discontinued Operations In May 2000 the Company sold its Operational Outsourcing Division and, accordingly, the financial results for this division have been reclassified as Discontinued Operations. (See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.) The Company recognized a one time gain on the sale of the Division amounting to approximately $1,594,000 (net of taxes of $200,000). Net Income (Loss) Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2000 was $3,070,000, principally due to the embezzlement recovery and sale of the Operational Outsourcing Division. Net income was somewhat offset by the loss from operations which was primarily related to interest expense. For the three and six months ended September 30, 1999 net income was $147,000 and $263,000, respectively. Factors That May Affect Future Results The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of factors including uncertainties relative to national economic conditions, especially as they affect interest rates, industry factors, the Company's ability to successfully increase its business and effectively manage expense margins. The Company must continue to effectively manage expense margins in relation to revenues by directing new business development towards markets that complement or improve existing service lines. The Company must also continue to emphasize operating efficiencies through cost containment strategies, reengineering efforts and improved service delivery techniques. The Company serves its customer base by providing consulting, integration, networking, maintenance and installation services. This industry has been characterized by rapid technological advances that have resulted in frequent introductions of new products, product enhancements and aggressive pricing practices, which also impact pricing of service activities. The Company's operating results could be adversely affected by industry-wide pricing pressures, the ability of the Company to recruit, train and retain personnel integral to the Company's operations and the presence of competitors with greater financial and other resources. Also, the Company's operating results could be adversely impacted should it be unable to effectively achieve the revenue growth necessary to provide profitable operating margins in various operations. The Company's plan for growth includes intensified marketing efforts, an expanding commercial sales program, strategic alliances and, where appropriate, acquisitions that expand market share. There can be no assurances these efforts will be successful. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 2000, the Company's working capital of $4,132,000 and current ratio of 1.29 indicated the continuing improvement in the Company's financial strength which was negatively impacted by the embezzlement matter. In October and November 1998, in a series of private placements, the Company issued $2 million of subordinated notes due July 1, 2001 to Research Industries Incorporated, a private investment company and an affiliate of the Company. Cash was also provided through bank borrowings. Capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2000 have been substantially reduced from prior periods. The Company does not expect capital expenditures to increase during the current fiscal year. At March 31, 2000 the Company was in technical default under its bank credit facility and amended the agreement effective July 5, 2000 extending the term of the agreement through July 1, 2001. In the amendment, the Company agreed to certain accelerated payments of its term debt and reduced the availability of the revolving credit agreement to $6 million (See Note 6 to the March 31, 2000 audited consolidated financial statements). The availability of credit is subject to borrowing base requirements primarily tied to levels of accounts receivable. In conjunction with cash derived from the sale of the Company's Operational Outsourcing Division the Company paid down its credit line by approximately $3.3 million and term debt by $500,000. In conjunction with the embezzlement recovery, the Company further reduced its term debt to the bank by $1,215,5000. The bank term notes aggregating $4.6 million at March 31, 1999 were renegotiated effective September 1, and amended December 21, 1999 to amounts aggregating $3.5 million. Bank term notes outstanding at September 30, 2000 amounted to $401,000. The subordinated debt agreements with an affiliate totaled $4 million at September 30, 2000. The banking agreement dated September 1, 1999 prohibits the payments of principal or interest on subordinated debt. (See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.) In September 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with a major supplier of digital communications switch hardware for the Company's United States Army contract where approximately $5,500,000 of outstanding accounts payable arising since March 31, 1999 due to the supplier was converted to a note payable which is being paid over 18 months with interest at 8.5%. In September and October 1999 $507,000 was paid, $299,965 is being paid on the first day of the next consecutive 15 months, with a final payment of $299,974 due in February 2001. The balance of the note at September 30, 2000 was $1,733,000. The Company believes that funds generated from operations, bank borrowings, embezzlement recoveries and investing activities (including the sale of the Company's Operational Outsourcing Division) should be sufficient to meet its current operating cash requirements through July 1, 2001 although there can be no assurances that all the aforementioned sources of cash can be realized. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily as result of the bank debt which partially finances its business. The floating interest debt exposes the Company to interest rate risk, with the primary interest rate exposure resulting from changes in the LIBOR rate. It is assumed that the LIBOR rate will remain constant in the future. Adverse changes in interest rates or the Company's inability to refinance its long-term obligations may have a material negative impact on the Company's operations. The definitive extent of the Company's interest rate risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements. The Company does not believe such risk is material. The Company does not customarily use derivative instruments to adjust the Company's interest rate risk profile. The information below summarizes the Company's sensitivity to market risks as of September 30, 2000. The table presents principal cash flows and related interest rates by year of maturity of the Company's funded debt. Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contains descriptions of the Company's funded debt and should be read in conjunction with the table below (amount in thousands).

At present, all transactions are billed and denominated in U.S. dollars and consequently, the Company does not currently have any material exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuation risk. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Adverse changes in interest rates will have a material effect on the Company's operations. At September 30, 2000, the Company had $11,059,000 of debt outstanding of which $5,733,000 has variable interest rates. If the interest rates charged to the Company on its variable rate debt were to increase significantly, it could have a materially adverse effect on future operations. The Company conducts a limited amount of business overseas, principally in Western Europe. At present all transactions are billed and denominated in U.S. dollars and consequently, the Company believes it does not currently have any material exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuation risks.
