HALIFAX ANNOUNCES PLANS TO ACQUIRE ENTERPRISE MAINTENANCE FIRM; COMPANY
              RAISES $1.2 MILLION FROM PRIVATE PLACEMENT

    Acquisition Expected to Strengthen Enterprise Maintenance Base

               and to be Accretive Within the First Year



ALEXANDRIA, VA - July 25, 2003 - Halifax Corporation (AMEX:HX) today

announced that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire

all the outstanding common stock of a privately held company that

serves the Enterprise Maintenance Solutions marketplace.



Based on yesterday's closing price of Halifax stock, the market value

of the proposed transaction is approximately $2.9 million, subject to

certain possible adjustments.  Under the letter of intent, Halifax

would issue to the selling shareholders approximately 500,000 shares of

its outstanding common stock, make a cash payment of $400,000, and

issue notes in the principal amount of $550,000, with an 18-month term,

accruing interest at the rate of 5% per annum.  The sellers will have

the ability to receive an additional $250,000 subject to certain earn-

out provisions tied to the achievement of revenue growth targets.



The acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings, and the

transaction, which is subject to satisfaction of various conditions and

approvals, is anticipated to close on or before August 29, 2003.



According to Charles McNew, president and chief executive officer, "Not

only do we expect this acquisition be accretive in the first year, but

it should also increase our second-half revenues by 15 to 20 percent.

In concert with our strategy of extending our leadership position in

enterprise maintenance solutions, the acquisition will significantly

expand our geographic base, strengthen our service delivery

capabilities, and add additional prestigious customers to our roster.

This will also enhance our ability to grow our partnership arrangements

with the global service provider community."



The Company also announced today that it has completed a private

placement in the amount of $1.2 million.  Halifax issued approximately

292,000 shares of common stock at current market prices to four members

of the executive management team, including McNew, as well as certain

directors and one existing shareholder of the Company.  The private

placement will include warrants to purchase approximately 58,000 shares

of common stock, at an exercise price set at 20% above current market

prices.
