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,  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.



Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

     On July 28, 2004, the Audit Committee of Halifax Corporation
(the "Company") engaged Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton") as the
Company's independent auditor to audit the Company's consolidated
financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005.
Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") who had been engaged by the
Company as the independent accountants to audit the Company's
consolidated financial statements was dismissed effective July 28,
2004.

     The decision to change the Company's independent accountants
from Deloitte to Grant Thornton was approved by the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors.

     The reports of Deloitte, on the financial statements of the
Company during the two-year period ended March 31, 2004, did not
contain an adverse opinion, or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles, except for the Company changing its accounting for
goodwill and other intangible assets during fiscal 2003 as a result
of adopting statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."  During the two-year period
ended March 31, 2004, and interim period from April 1, 2004 through
July 28, 2004, the Company did not have any disagreements with
Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Deloitte, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject
matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.

     In connection with the filing of this Form 8-K, Deloitte was
provided with a copy of this disclosure and was requested by the
Company to furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the SEC
stating whether Deloitte agrees with the above statements.  A copy
of Deloitte's letter to the SEC is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.2 to
this Form 8-K.
