HALIFAX ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER
FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues Up 25% Compared to Prior Year’s Second Quarter
ALEXANDRIA, VA — November 14, 2005 — Halifax Corporation (AMEX:HX) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 were $14.0 million versus $11.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2005, an increase of 25%. The revenue increase resulted from growth within existing contracts and the inclusion of the AlphaNational acquisition, which closed in September of 2004.
The operating loss for the second quarter of 2006 was $170,000 versus an operating loss of $623,000 for the comparable quarter of last year. Revenue growth and a fixed cost containment program are facilitating the reduction in operating losses. Income from discontinued operations was $540,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared to $0 for the current quarter. With the sale of its Secure Network Services business on June 30, 2005, for $12.5 million, the financial performance of this business area is being classified, for accounting purposes, as a discontinued operation. The net gain on the sale of approximately $5.6 million is being deferred until certain contract novation contingencies are resolved.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company reported a net loss of $172,000, or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $44,000, or $0.02 per basic and $0.01 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year.
According to Charles McNew, president and chief executive officer, “The cash infusion from the previously announced sale of our Secure Network Services business has significantly improved our financial position. We have reduced long-term debt and enhanced working capital flexibility. As soon as our contract novation process is completed, we will be able to recognize the $5.6 million gain on the sale of the Secure Network Services business, further strengthening our balance sheet.”
He added, “The combination of our continued solid revenue growth with an aggressive fixed cost containment program puts us in a strong position for a return to profitability. Our singular focus on the enterprise maintenance business is paying off, improving our position for performance on long-term growth opportunities.”
For the six months ended September 30, 2005, revenues were $28.6 million compared to $21.9 million for the same period last year, an increase of 31%. The operating loss for the six months ended September 30, 2005, was $313,000 versus $908,000 for the same

 


 

period last year. Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended September 30, 2005, was $310,000, compared to $907,000 for the comparable period of the prior year. The net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2005, was $96,000, or $0.03 per share, versus net income of $135,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended September 30, 2004.
McNew added, “Our marketplace is characterized by competitive pricing pressures and enhanced service requirements. Our innovative approach to service delivery has enabled us to grow in a market that continues to undergo a consolidation. We are evaluating various strategic alternatives to further position our Company for near- and long-term growth and profitability.”
