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.

Microserv provides high-availability hardware maintenance services to a

nationwide customer base.  Halifax acquired the outstanding stock of

Microserv for a total value of approximately $3.0 million, excluding

earn-out arrangements.



According to Charles McNew, president and CEO, "We are pleased to

welcome Microserv to the Halifax family as we complete this important

step in the evolution of our services platform.  As previously

discussed, we expect this acquisition to be accretive to earnings in

the first year while increasing our second-half revenues by 15 to 20

percent.  Furthermore, we have expanded our geographic base and

strengthened our service delivery capability.  Microserv also adds a

number of prestigious customers to our roster, and enhances our ability

to grow our partnership arrangements with the global service provider

community.  It should also be noted that Fairmount Partners, our

financial advisor, was instrumental in helping us to successfully

complete this transaction."



He added, "We will continue to aggressively pursue our strategy of

extending our leadership position in the enterprise maintenance

solutions marketplace with the ultimate long-term goal of meaningful

shareholder value enhancement."



The Microserv shareholders, in exchange for all of the outstanding

shares of common stock of Microserv, received consideration, subject to

certain possible post-closing adjustments, consisting of 442,078 shares

of Halifax common stock; a note in the principal amount of $493,394

with an 18-month term, accruing interest at the rate of 5% per annum;

cash in the amount of $360,000; and through an earn-out, the right to

receive an additional $250,000 payable in cash, or a combination of

cash and Halifax common stock.  The consideration is subject to certain

reductions if the working capital and net assets on the closing date

are less than certain levels at March 31, 2003.



Microserv shareholders received certain demand and piggyback

registration rights and will be subject to a 12-month prohibition on

any transfers of common stock acquired in the merger.  In addition, the
