Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

FOREWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


     Certain statements in this Currant Report on Form 8-K 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 events
over which we have little or no control.  Forward-looking statements
may be identified by words including "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "expect" and similar expressions.  We caution 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 our revenues, risks involved in contracting with our
customers, including difficulties to accurately estimate costs when
bidding on a contract and the occurrence of start-up costs prior to
receiving revenues and contract with fixed price provisions, government
contracting risks, potential conflicts of interest, difficulties we may
have in attracting and retaining management, professional and
administrative staff, fluctuation in quarterly results, risks related
to acquisitions and acquisition strategy, continued favorable banking
relationships, the availability of capital to finance operations and
ability to make payments on outstanding indebtedness, weakened economic
conditions, acts of terrorism, risks related to competition and our
ability to continue to perform efficiently on contracts, and other
risks and factors identified from time to time in the reports we file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our
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.

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- October 4, 2005 -- Halifax Corporation (AMEX:HX)

1998, working closely with VDOT management to develop a solid, long-
term solution for its seat management needs.  Our focus has been to
significantly lower the total cost of infrastructure ownership while
keeping service a high priority.  We look forward to continuing our
successful partnership with VDOT through 2008."

Certain statements made by the Company which are not historical facts
may be considered forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation, statements as to trends, management's beliefs, views,
expectations and opinions, which are based upon a number of assumptions
concerning future conditions that ultimately may prove to be
inaccurate.  Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties and may be affected by various factors described in the
Risk Factors Section in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K that
may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-
looking statements.  For further information that could affect the
Company's financial statements, please refer to the Company's reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
