HALIFAX ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

ALEXANDRIA, VA – November 16, 2009 – Halifax Corporation of Virginia (HALX.PK OTC) today announced its financial results for the quarter September 30, 2009.

Revenues for of three months ended September 30, 2009 were $7.6 million compared to $8.9 million for the prior year. For the six months ended September 30, 2009, revenues were $15.3 million compared to $17.9 million for the same period last 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 $105,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to operating income of $347,000 for the same period last year. For the six months ended September 30, 2009 the Company reported operating income of $239,000 compared to $664,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008. The reduction in operating income was primarily due to lower revenues due to lengthening sales cycles, somewhat offset by lower operating costs.

Charles McNew, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The current quarter, as expected, was relatively flat compared to the first quarter of FY 2010. We are pleased to continue our string of profitable quarters and we remain reasonably optimistic looking forward, given the pressures in the maintenance service marketplace and the economic environment in general.”

“We also continue to see growth potential for our supply chain services program, Enterprise Logistics Solutions, which is affording the company multiple higher margin business process outsourcing opportunities.”
