HALIFAX ANNOUNCES
FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

"Net Income of $183,000 and Earnings Per Share of $.06”

ALEXANDRIA, VA – August 5, 2009 – Halifax Corporation of Virginia (NYSE Amex: HX) today announced its financial results for the quarter June 30, 2009.

Revenues for of three months ended June 30, 2009 were $7.6 million compared to $9.0 million for the prior year. The decrease in revenues in 2009 was attributable to the termination of certain large nation-wide enterprise maintenance contracts.

The Company reported operating income of $134,000, compared to operating income of $317,000 for the same period last year. The reduction in operating income was primarily due to lower revenues due to lengthening sales cycles, somewhat offset by lower operating costs.

The Company reported net income of $183,000, or $.06 per basic and diluted share.

Charles McNew, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to report another profitable quarter. While certain legacy revenue sources for a few maintenance customers are declining, our enterprise logistics solutions revenue is continuing to grow on a profitable basis.”

“We believe that this supply chain services program, which is affording the company multiple higher margin business process outsourcing opportunities, will position the company for improving long term performance.”
