The Company has developed an important presence in the eastern United States, while seeking to provide services nationwide for selected engagements. The Company's general business strategy is to secure a prominent position as a leading provider of the broad range of information technology services and solutions to address the needs of a marketplace which continue to increase dependency on technology. Investment in the Company involves various risks. Additionally, certain of the information contained herein may be deemed to constitute "forward looking statements". HISTORY The Company was incorporated in Virginia in 1967 as Halifax Engineering, Inc., the successor to the business begun as a sole proprietorship in 1967. On April 1, 1970, Halifax acquired the Field Service Division of United Industries. This expanded the business base in technical services and field engineering. In 1991 the Company's name was changed to Halifax Corporation. On June 30, 1993, the Company acquired the services division of Electronic Associates, Inc. The division expanded the Company's non-federal business and provided an additional service line for simulator operations, maintenance and integration. On April 1, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of privately held CMS Automation, Inc. (CMSA) a Richmond, Virginia computer systems integration company. On November 25, 1996, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, CMSA, acquired the ongoing computer network integration business of Consolidated Computer Investors, Inc. (CCI) of Hanover, Maryland. The combined entity name was changed to Halifax Technology Services Company (HTSC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Halifax Corporation. On April 1, 1999, HTSC was merged into Halifax Corporation and began operating as the Technology Services Division of the Company. On May 31, 2000 the Company sold its Operational Outsourcing business (See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements) which was non-core to the Company's long-term growth strategy. The Company's Operational Outsourcing Division provided complete facilities management and maintenance outsourcing capabilities to assist institutional, government and commercial clients in outsourcing facilities operations. The Company maintains its principal executive offices at Halifax Office Park, 5250 Cherokee Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22312. Its telephone number is (703) 750-2202, and its website is www.hxcorp.com. Embezzlement Matter On March 18, 1999, the Company announced that an internal investigation had revealed a material embezzlement by the former controller of one of the Company's subsidiaries. The embezzlement occurred over a four year period and aggregated approximately $15.4 million of which approximately $15 million was embezzled from the Company and $400,000 prior to its acquisition by Halifax. After net recoveries through March 31, 2001, as discussed below, the cumulative net embezzlement loss to the Company was approximately $7.7 million. The embezzlement had a material effect on the Company's financial statements. During the year ended March 31, 2001, the Company recovered $1,600,000 (net of recovery costs of $1,156,000). During the year ended March 31, 2000, the Company recovered $2,250,000 (net of recovery costs of $250,000) in conjunction with its embezzlement recovery activities. The specific terms and conditions associated with the payments, including the identity of the parties, are subjects of confidentiality agreements that preclude disclosure. The embezzlement loss for fiscal 1999 was $6,093,000, offset by $3,500,000 in recoveries (net of recovery costs of $1,000,000), resulting in a net embezzlement loss for fiscal year 1999 of $2,593,000. Federal Government Contracts A significant portion of the Company's revenues have historically been derived from contracts and subcontracts with the United States Government. Excluding the sale of HTSI ("Discontinued Operations") in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company received revenues from 15, 29 and 25 Government contracts, respectively, which accounted for approximately 26%, 25% and 36%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues. The embezzlement matter did not involve or affect the Company's fulfillment of its Government contracts nor its accounting thereof, and it did not trigger any termination provisions under government contracts. The services of the Company are performed under cost reimbursable, time-and-materials, and fixed-price contracts and subcontracts. Under cost reimbursable contracts, the Government reimburses the Company for its allowable costs permitted by Government regulations and pays the Company a negotiated fixed fee, incentive fee, award fee or combination thereof. For time-and-materials contracts, the Company receives a fixed hourly rate intended to cover salary costs attributable to work performed on the contracts and related indirect expenses, as well as a profit margin, and reimbursement for other direct costs. Under fixed-price contracts, the Government pays the Company an agreed-upon price for services rendered. In addition, under certain fixed price contracts, incentive fees are permitted if established performance goals are met or exceeded and penalties are imposed if goals are not attained. Under fixed-price contracts and time-and-materials contracts, the Company bears any risk of increased or unexpected costs that may reduce its profits or cause it to sustain losses. The Company's Government contracts and subcontracts are subject to termination, reduction or modification as a result of changes in the Government's requirements or budgetary restrictions. When the Company participates as a subcontractor, it is subject to the risk that the primary contractor may fail or become unable to perform the prime contract. All Government contracts are subject to termination at the convenience of the Government. If a contract were to be terminated for convenience, the Company would be reimbursed for its allowable costs incurred up to the date of termination and would be paid a proportionate amount of the stipulated profits or fees attributable to the work actually performed. Since the inception of the Company's Federal Government contracting activities, the Government has only terminated four contracts with the Company for convenience. Contracts with the Government are generally complex in nature and require Halifax to comply with numerous Federal regulations regarding discrimination in the hiring of personnel, fringe benefits for employees, safety, safeguarding classified information, responsibility for Government property, fire prevention, equipment maintenance, record keeping and accounting, management qualifications, drug free work place and numerous other matters. The Company has not experienced any material difficulty in complying with applicable Federal regulations. The Company is sensitive to the present climate in the Government with respect to fraud, waste and abuse, and has adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Standards of Conduct and associated Company procedures. In addition, all employees receive training in ethics and associated Company procedures, and a hot line has been established to encourage reporting of potential ethical violations. Under certain circumstances the Government can suspend or debar individuals or firms from obtaining future contracts with the Government for specified periods of time. Any such suspension or debarment could have a material adverse effect upon the Company. The books and records of the Company are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), which can result in adjustments to contract costs and fees. Audits by DCAA have been completed for years through fiscal year 1999 with minimal adjustment to the Company's cost accounting records and contract revenue reimbursement. With the sale of the Company's Operational Outsourcing Division on May 31, 2000, the Company's dependence on Government contracts has been materially reduced. Commercial and State/Municipal Government Contracts The Company continues to work towards expanding its commercial and state/municipal government business. Commercial revenues are being pursued by targeting non-federal and outsourcing opportunities. The Company's expanding development of information technology services and solutions follows from its prior acquisition strategy where some expanded capabilities were brought into the Company. State/municipal government contracts may expand from privatization opportunities. The following table reflects the distribution of revenues (in thousands) by type of customer excluding Discontinued Operations (see Management Discussion and Analysis for further discussion): Years Ended March 31, 2001 2000 1999 Commercial $ 21,246 41% $ 23,394 44% $ 23,725 40% State/Local 17,139 33% 16,435 31% 13,866 24% Federal Government 13,365 26% 13,701 25% 21,480 36% Total $ 51,750 100% $ 53,530 100% $ 59,071 100% Type of Contracts The following table reflects the distribution of revenues (in thousands) by type of contract excluding Discontinued Operations, for the periods indicated: Years Ended March 31, 2001 2000 1999 Cost reimbursable $ - N/A $ 341 1% $ 363 1% Time & materials 4,458 9% 2,851 5% 3,878 6% Fixed-price 47,292 91% 50,338 94% 54,830 93% Total $51,750 100% $ 53,530 100% $ 59,071 100% Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable at March 31, 2001 and 2000 represented 48% and 49% of total assets, respectively. Accounts receivable are comprised of billed and unbilled receivables. Billed receivables represent invoices presented to the customer. Unbilled receivables represent future payments due from the customer for which invoices will not be presented until a later period. The reasons invoices are not presented may be categorized as follows: (1) fee and cost retainage rights of the Government; (2) billable documents in transit; (3) excess of actual direct and indirect costs over amounts currently billable under cost reimbursement contracts to the extent they are expected to be billed and collected; and (4) revenues recognized in excess of billings on fixed-price contracts arising from the use of the percentage of completion method. The financing of receivables requires bank borrowings and the payment of associated interest expense. Interest expense is not reimbursable under Government contracts. For a summary of the amounts of unbilled receivables as of March 31, 2001 and 2000, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Backlog Excluding Discontinued Operations, the Company's funded backlog for services as of March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $37,500,000, $14,000,000 and $25,000,000, respectively. "Funded" backlog represents commercial orders and Government contracts to the extent that funds have been appropriated by Congress and allotted to the contract by the procuring Government agency. Some of the Company's contract orders provide for potential funding in excess of the monies initially provided by the Government. Additional monies are subsequently and periodically authorized in the form of incremental funding documents. The excess of potential future funding over funding provided represents unfunded backlog. A majority of the Company's customer orders or contract awards and extensions for contracts previously awarded are received or occur at various times during the year and may have varying periods of performance. Marketing Marketing involves the determination of customer needs that match the services offered by the Company. This is accomplished through the Company's sales and marketing group which develops service and solutions offerings, conducts sales calls, attends trade shows, and builds a network of customer knowledge and confidence in the Company. Those activities, along with the development of strategic alliances and the reputation the Company has built, represent the normal manner in which the Company's business is generated. The Company contracts with the Federal Government, State/Local Governments and commercial entities, each of which requires a different marketing approach. The Federal Government maintains that it buys from companies rather than having companies sell to it; thus, marketing is more related to keeping abreast of the Government's specified needs versus building markets within the Government for the Company's services. However, the Company conducts a large portion of its business within the commercial and state/local government sectors, and consequently uses traditional marketing approaches to determine commercial customer needs and to enhance the chances that its services will be considered for those needs. The Company's ability to compete successfully for Government work is largely dependent on recognizing Government requirements and opportunities, the submission of responsive and cost-effective proposals, and a reputation for the successful completion of government contracts. Recognition of Government requirements and opportunities come from inclusion on bidders lists, conducting seminars, participation in activities of professional organizations and from literature published by the Government and other organizations. Competition The Company has numerous competitors in all areas in which it does business. Some competitors are large diversified firms having substantially greater financial resources and larger technical staffs than the Company, including, in some cases, the manufacturers of the systems being supported. Customer in-house capabilities can also be deemed to be competitors of the Company in that they perform certain services which might otherwise be performed by the Company. It is not possible to predict the extent of competition which present or future activities of the Company will encounter because of changing competitive conditions, customer requirements, technological developments and other factors. The principal competitive factors for the type of service business in which the Company is engaged are technology skills, quality, responsiveness, ability to perform within estimated time expense limits and pricing. Technology services are predominately concentrated on the Mid-Atlantic coast and enterprise maintenance services are conducted on a nationwide basis. Personnel On March 31, 2001, the Company had 265 employees, of whom 8 were part-time. Because of the nature of services provided, many employees are professional or technical personnel with high levels of training and skills, including engineers, and skilled technicians and mechanics. The Company believes its employee relations are excellent. Although many of the Company's personnel are highly specialized and there is a nationwide shortage of certain qualified technical personnel, the Company has not experienced material difficulties obtaining the personnel required to perform under its contracts and generally does not bid on contracts where difficulty may be encountered in hiring personnel. The Company interfaces with a labor union on one of its government contracts. To date, relations have been excellent. Management believes that the future growth and success of the Company will depend, in part, upon its continued ability to retain and attract highly qualified personnel. Item 2. Properties On November 6, 1997, the Company sold its headquarters office complex for $5,250,000 and leased back the building. The transaction generated other income of $1,490,000 of which $715,000 was deferred and is being amortized over the 12 year lease-back of its headquarters building. The net sale proceeds were applied to the reduction of debt. The Company is obligated under 17 short-term facility leases connected with its operations. The total rent expenses under existing leases were $972,000, $1,123,000 and $1,188,000 for the years ended March 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Item 3. Legal Proceedings On January 9, 2001 the Securities & Exchange Commission issued a formal order directing private investigation of the Company and unnamed individuals concerning trading activity in the Company's securities, periodic reports filed by the Company with the SEC, certain accounting and financial matters and internal accounting controls. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC. In addition, the Company has received an SEC subpoena for documents related to these matters. The staff of the SEC has advised that the inquiry is confidential and should not be construed as an indication by the Commission or its staff that any violation of law has occurred, or as an adverse reflection on any person, entity or security. The Company believes the investigation is primarily related to the previously reported embezzlement by one of the Company's former employees. There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party. The Company is engaged in ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company's business to which the Company is a party. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters The Company's Common Stock, par value $0.24, is listed on the American Stock Exchange At June 22, 2001, there were approximately 687 holders of record of the Company's Common Stock as reported by the Company's transfer agent. The following table sets forth the quarterly range of high and low sales prices on the American Stock Exchange. Fiscal Year 2001 Fiscal Year 2000 Fiscal Quarter High Low High Low April - June (a) $7.25 $5.00 $ - $ - July - Sept. 6.25 5.25 7.125 4.50 Oct. - Dec. 5.75 2.75 7.125 4.50 Jan. - March 3.87 2.50 8.00 5.93 (a) The Company's stock did not trade from March 17, 1999 until September 13, 1999 due to an American Stock Exchange trading halt. Upon the filing of the Company's 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1999, trading was resumed. The Company did not declare a cash dividend to be paid in fiscal year 2001 nor 2000, and there is no assurance the Company will do so in future periods. The Company's current bank loan agreement prohibits the payment of dividends. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. None. Item 6.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Certain statements under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Annual 10-K Report constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions in the Company's market area, inflation, continuation of favorable banking arrangements, the availability of capital to finance operations and planned growth, ramifications regarding the embezzlement matter and changes in government regulations and competition, which may, among other things, affect the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy. 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 the Company later become aware that it is not likely to be achieved. If the Company were to update or correct a forward-looking statement, investors and others should not conclude that the Company will make additional updates or corrections thereafter. Readers are referred to the "Factors that May Affect Future Results" section within this Item 7 of Form 10-K which identifies important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. All information is based on the Company's fiscal year ended March 31. (Tabular information: dollars in thousands, except per share amounts). Results of operations and related notes thereto have been adjusted for Discontinued Operations.

Revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 decreased 9% from 1999 principally due to reductions in orders from the U.S. Army on a digital communications switch contract. This was partially offset by the ramp-up of deliveries under the Company's seat management contract with the Virginia Department of Transportation. Operating Costs and Expenses Cost of services for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 decreased 2% from 2000 which was proportional to the decrease in hardware and services revenue discussed above. During the fourth quarter, the Company increased its reserve for inventory valuation by $700,000 due to uncertainties in the market brought on by the economic downturn. Cost of services for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000 decreased 12% from 1999, which was somewhat larger than the comparable revenues decline. Although revenues declined the fixed price lower margin U.S. Army business which declined was somewhat offset by growth in the higher margin technology services which resulted in cost of services decreasing at a higher percentage than the percentage of decrease in revenue. In addition, 1999 costs of services included certain unusual charges related to inventory obsolescence of approximately $1.7 million due to potential Y2K issues and the write-off of an under performing maintenance services contract. During the year ended March 31, 2001, general and administrative expenses increased 38% or $790,000 over fiscal year 2000. This was due primarily to increases in professional fees, insurance costs and upgrade and consolidation of the Company's accounting system. General and administrative expenses increased 2% in 2000 from 1999 principally as a result of increases in staffing in key strategic areas offset by reductions in depreciation expense. Operating Income The Company incurred an operating loss of $1,417,000 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 due primarily to the reductions in revenue and the increase in general and administrative expenses as discussed above. As a result of the margin improvement arising from the sales mix change and the reduction in general and administrative expenses, the Company generated operating income of $251,000 in 2000 as compared to an operating loss of $1.0 million in 1999. Interest and Other Income or Expense Interest expense declined $111,000 or 10% to $955,000 during the year ended March 31, 2001 compared to 2000 principally due to reduced borrowings and lower interest rates. Interest expense increased 2% in 2000 as compared to 1999, primarily due to higher interest rates and the large amount of debt outstanding during the first half of fiscal year 2000. Other expense of $45,000 in 2001 resulted from the disposition of certain obsolete fixed assets. Other income was $55,000 in 2000 as compared to expense of $773,000 in 1999 which was principally related to one-time write-offs of certain fixed assets in 1999. Embezzlement Recovery During the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, net embezzlement recoveries were $1.6 million and $2.25 million, respectively (net of recovery costs of $1,156,000 and $250,000, respectively). The loss of approximately $2.6 million in 1999 was net of $3.5 million of total net recoveries realized from certain recovered assets (net of recovery costs) and insurance proceeds. For additional discussion see "Embezzlement Matter" in Item 1 and Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes As a result of the Company's historical losses (principally from the embezzlement), the Company generated significant loss carryforwards (both federal and state). At March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had remaining net operating loss carryforwards amounting to approximately $8.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Due to the uncertainty of future realization, the Company has not recorded a net benefit for these operating loss carryforwards in its financial statements. Discontinued Operations In May 2000, the Company sold its Operational Outsourcing Division, and accordingly the financial results for this division have been reclassified as Discontinued Operations. (See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.) The net of tax results for Discontinued Operations for 2001, 2000 and 1999 were income of $244,000, $928,000 and $17,000, respectively. The decrease in net income in fiscal year 2001 was due to the shortened period of operations as a result of the disposition on May 31, 2000. The increase in net income from 1999 to 2000 resulted principally from one-time contract modifications generated by a single customer. Net income (loss) from Continuing Operations The 2001 net loss of $840,000 from continuing operations was due primarily to higher operating expenses offset by embezzlement recoveries of $1.6 million. The 2000 net income from continuing operations of $1.4 million was principally the result of embezzlement recoveries amounting to $2.25 million. Net losses from continuing operations in 1999 of $5.3 million were the result of embezzlement losses of $3.6 million and operating loss, in the amount of $3.6 million. Factors That May Affect Future Results The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of factors including uncertainties relative to national economic conditions, especially as they affect interest rates, industry factors, the Company's ability to successfully increase its business and effectively manage expense margins. The Company must continue to effectively manage expense margins in relation to revenues by directing new business development towards markets that complement or improve existing service lines. The Company must also continue to emphasize operating efficiencies through cost containment strategies, reengineering efforts and improved service delivery techniques. The Company serves its customer base by providing consulting, integration, networking, maintenance and installation services. This industry has been characterized by rapid technological advances that have resulted in frequent introduction of new products, product enhancements and aggressive pricing practices, which also impacts pricing of service activities. The Company's operating results could be adversely affected by industry-wide pricing pressures, the ability of the Company to recruit, train and retain personnel integral to the Company's operations and the presence of competitors with greater financial and other resources. Also, the Company's operating results could be adversely impacted should the Company be unable to achieve the revenue growth necessary to provide profitable operating margins in various operations. The Company's plan for growth includes intensified marketing efforts, an expanding commercial sales program, strategic alliances and, where appropriate, acquisitions that expand market share. There can be no assurances these efforts will be successful, or if successful will be on terms advantageous to the Company. Liquidity and Capital Resources 2001 2000 1999 Cash balance at March 31, 2001 $ 231,000 $ 1,800,000 $ 0 Working capital at March 31, 2001 $ (102,000) $ 3,481,000 $ 740,000 Net cash provided by operations before impact of embezzlement $ 520,000 $ 1,641,000 $ 1,940,000 Net cash recovered (used) related to embezzlement 1,600,000 5,078,000 (5,421,000) Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 2,120,000 $ 6,719,000 $(3,481,000) Net cash provided by (used in) $ 4,869,000 $ (847,000) $ (651,000) investment activities Net cash (used in) provided by $(8,558,000) $(4,072,000) $ 4,132,000 financing activities At March 31, 2001, the Company had negative working capital of $(102,000) and a current ratio of 0.99. The reduction in working capital was attributable to the loss from operations and significant curtailment of long term debt. Working capital was provided from the sale of the operational outsourcing division, embezzlement recoveries and bank borrowings. At March 31, 2000, the Company had working capital of $3,481,000 and a current ratio of 1.20. In October and November 1998 in a series of private placements, the Company issued $2 million of subordinated notes due July 1, 2002 to Research Industries Incorporated, a private investment company and an affiliate of the Company. Cash was also provided through bank borrowings. A summary of future minimum lease payments is in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements. Capital expenditures in 2001, 2000, and 1999 were substantially reduced from prior years to conserve cash. The Company does not expect fiscal year 2002 technology requirements to result in greater capital expenditures than fiscal year 2001. The Company continues to sublease a portion of its headquarters building generating approximately $148,000 annually. On December 8, 2000, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement with an $8 million maximum credit line which refinanced the Company's previous revolving credit line. Amounts available under this agreement are determined by applying stated percentages to the Company's eligible and unbilled receivables. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had an outstanding balance of $2.9 million with an additional $2.0 million available on the line of credit. Advances under the revolving credit agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in all the Company's assets as defined in the financing and security agreement. The agreement also contains certain financial and reporting covenants. The agreement matures on August 31, 2002. Although the Company is in compliance with its credit and security agreement at March 31, 2001, it believes that it may not be in compliance with certain financial convenants of this agreement in future periods and the lender has agreed to waive the covenant violations should they occur for the quarter ending June 30, 2001. It is the intention of the lender and the Company to restructure the covenants to assure that compliance can be maintained through March 31, 2002. On September 1, 1999, the Company signed a banking agreement, which was amended on December 21, 1999, which refinanced the Company's revolving credit line and outstanding debt. The Company further amended its banking agreement on July 5, 2000, which extended the agreement through July 1, 2001. The Company agreed to make certain accelerated payments on the term loan portion of its debt, apply a portion of future settlement proceeds (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements), if any, to term debt balances outstanding and to reduce its maximum line on its revolving credit agreement to $6,000,000. The Company was in non- compliance with certain terms of its revolving credit agreement and term loan facilities at March 31, 2000. As part of the amended agreement, the bank waived the non-compliance with the financial covenant. In accordance with the terms of the new banking arrangement, the Company made additional principal payments on the Tier II and Tier III Term Notes. All assets of the Company remain as collateral in accordance with the prior agreement. In addition, the Company paid certain fees in connection with the amendment and was to be subject to additional monthly fees commencing January 1, 2001 if the current banking arrangement has not been refinanced. The debt under this agreement was paid in full on December 8, 2000. The Revolving Credit Agreements prohibit the payment of dividends or distributions as well as the payment of principal or interest on Subordinated Debt. Interest expense on Subordinated Debt is accrued on a current basis. The subordinated debt agreements with an affiliate totaled $4 million at March 31, 2001 and 2000. The banking agreements prohibits the payments of principal or interest. Principal repayment and interest payable on the subordinated debt agreements have been extended to July 1, 2002. (See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.) In September 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with a major supplier of digital communications switch hardware for the Company's United States Army contract where approximately $5,500,000 of outstanding accounts payable arising since March 31, 1999 due to the supplier was converted to a note payable which is being paid over 18 months with interest at 8.5%. $507,000 was paid in September and October 1999 and payments of $299,965 per month thereafter. The balance of the note due March 31, 2001 was $632,000. The Company intends to repay this amount during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002. The Company believes that funds generated from operations, bank borrowings, embezzlement recoveries and investing activities should be sufficient to meet its current operating cash requirements through July 1, 2002, although there can be no assurances that all the aforementioned sources of cash can be realized. The Company will need to amend its current line of credit which expires on August 31, 2002. There are no assurances that these efforts will successfully be completed. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily as result of bank debt to finance its business. The floating interest debt exposes the Company to interest rate risk, with the primary interest rate exposure resulting from changes in the LIBOR rate. It is assumed in the table below that the LIBOR rate will remain constant in the future. Adverse changes in the interest rates or the Company's inability to refinance its long-term obligations may have a material negative impact on the Company's operations. The definitive extent of the Company's interest rate risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements. The Company does not believe such risk is material. The Company does not customarily use derivative instruments to adjust the Company's interest rate risk profile. The information below summarizes the Company's sensitivity to market risks as of March 31, 2001. The table presents principal cash flows and related interest rates by year of maturity of the Company's funded debt. Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements contains descriptions of the Company's funded debt and should be read in conjunction with the table below (amount in thousands). Long-term debt (including current 2002 2003 Total Fair maturities) Debt Value Revolving credit agreement at the LIBOR rate plus 2.5%. Due August 31, 2002.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Financial statements and supplementary data of the Company are attached hereto. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure Ernst & Young LLP (the "Former Accountants") resigned as the independent accountants for Halifax Corporation (the "Company") on October 19, 1999. No report prepared by the Former Accountants on the consolidated financial position of Halifax Corporation at March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of operations and its cash flows of each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1999, contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with the audit conducted by the Former Accountants for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, which was concluded on September 7,1999, and which included the consolidated balance sheets of Halifax Corporation as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1999, there were no disagreements between the Company and Ernst & Young LLP 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 Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for those years. The fiscal year 1999 audit was completed on September 7, 1999 with the issuance, by Ernst & Young LLP, of an unqualified opinion as presented in the Company's Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on September 9, 1999.

In the event of termination within one year after a change in control, Mr. McNew would receive compensation equal to twenty-four months salary subject to statutory limitations. In addition, the Company and Executive entered into a letter agreement dated March 31, 2001 pursuant to which the Company, in consideration of Executive's continued employment with the Company through March 31, 2002, agreed to pay to Executive $100,000 as a severance payment.

HALIFAX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY Business Activity - Halifax Corporation (the "Company") provides information technology services and solutions for commercial and government activities. These services include seat management, enterprise maintenance solutions, network security solutions, eBusiness/eGovernment development and communication services. Principles of Consolidation - The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries. Wholly-owned subsidiaries include Halifax Engineering, Inc., Halifax Realty, Inc., and Halifax Technology Services, Inc. (HTSI) which was sold effective May 31, 2000 (see Note 17). All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Accounts Receivable - Receivables are primarily attributable to long-term contracts or programs in progress for which the related operating cycles are longer than one year. In accordance with industry practice, these items are included in current assets. Inventory - Inventory consists principally of spare computer parts and computer and computer peripheral hardware and software in the process of delivery upon resale to customers. All inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on the first-in first- out basis. These inventories are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet net of allowances for inventory valuation of $700,000 and $125,000 at March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 4 years for automotive equipment, 3-10 years for machinery and equipment, 5-10 years for furniture and equipment and 12 years for building improvements. The Company examines the carrying value of its property and equipment to determine whether there are any impairment losses. If indicators of impairments were present, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified. No reduction of property and equipment was necessary in 2001 or in 2000. Intangible Assets - Intangible assets, including goodwill in acquired companies, described in Note 5, is being amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 10 to 25 years. The Company examines the carrying value of its goodwill to determine whether there are any impairment losses if indicators of impairment are present. If future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the asset's carrying amount, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified. No reduction of goodwill for impairment was necessary in 2001 or in 2000. Revenue Recognition - Service revenues result from contracts with various government agencies and private industry. Revenues on fixed price contracts are recognized using the percentage of completion method generally determined on the basis of cost incurred to date as percentage of estimated total cost. Revenues on time and materials contracts are recognized at contractual rates as labor hours and materials are expended. Losses are recognized in the period in which they become determinable. Income Taxes - Deferred taxes are provided on all temporary differences measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect during the periods in which the temporary differences reverse. Stock-Based Compensation- The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and complies with the disclosure provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Under APB No. 25 Compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the measurement date, between the fair value of the common stock and the exercise price. Earnings Per Common Share - The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earning per share is based on the weighted average number of shares including adjustments to both net income and shares outstanding to assume the conversion of dilutive common stock equivalents. Due to the loss from continuing operations in the years ended March 31, 2001, and 1999, the computation of diluted earnings per share for those years is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period and does not include dilutive common stock equivalents. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassification - Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2000 and 1999 financial statements to conform to the 2001 presentation. The consolidated statement of operations and related notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect Discontinued Operations arising from the sale of the Company's Operational Outsourcing Division (HTSI). (See Note 17.) New Accounting Pronouncements - Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, " Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 effective April 1, 2001. Management believes the adoption of SFAS 133 will have no impact on the financial position, results of operations , or cash flows of the Company. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, (SFAS No. 130) "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires that a full set of general-purpose financial statements report comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income includes net income, foreign currency items, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities. If an entity has only net income, it is not required to report comprehensive income. The Company does not have any comprehensive income items other than net income; thus, the adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 2.EMBEZZLEMENT MATTER On March 18, 1999, the Company announced that an internal investigation had revealed a material embezzlement by the former controller of one of the Company's subsidiaries. The embezzlement occurred over a four year period and aggregated approximately $15.4 million of which approximately $15 million was embezzled from the Company and $400,000 prior to its acquisition by Halifax. After net recoveries through March 31, 2001, as discussed below, the cumulative net embezzlement loss to the Company before taxes was approximately $7.7 million. The embezzlement had a material effect on the Company's financial statements. During the year ended March 31, 2001, the Company recovered $1,600,000 (net of recovery costs of $1,156,000). During the year ended March 31, 2000, the Company recovered $2,250,000 (net of recovery costs of $250,000) in conjunction with its embezzlement recovery activities. The specific terms and conditions associated with the payments, including the identity of the parties, are subjects of confidentiality agreements that precludes disclosure. The gross embezzlement loss for fiscal 1999 was $6,093,000, which was offset by $3,500,000 in recoveries (net of recovery costs of $1,000,000), resulting in a net embezzlement loss for fiscal year 1999 of $2,593,000. Recoveries relating to the embezzlement were as follows: Fiscal 2001 $ 2,756,000 Fiscal 2000 and prior 7,000,000 Total recoveries 9,756,000 Recovery costs (2,406,000) Net recoveries $ 7,350,000 The Company continues to pursue recovery activities from certain parties although no assurances can be given as to the timing or extent of such recoveries. On January 9, 2001, the Securities & Exchange Commission issued a formal order of investigation of the Company and unnamed individuals concerning trading activity in the Company's securities, periodic reports filed by the Company with the SEC, certain accounting and financial matters and internal accounting controls. The Company is cooperating fully with the SEC. In addition, the Company has received an SEC subpoena for documents related to these matters. The staff of the SEC has advised that the inquiry is confidential and should not be construed as an indication by the Commission or its staff that any violation of law has occurred, or as an adverse reflection on any person, entity or security.

All awards granted in 1999 under the Non-Employee Directors Stock Options Plan were stock options with 5 year terms and vest in installments cumulatively with respect to one-sixtieth of that option stock per month after the date of grant. Exercise prices of all options awarded in all years under all plans were equal to the market price of the stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each of the Company's option grants is estimated on the date of grant using Black-Scholes option - pricing model as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 using the following assumptions for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999: risk-free interest rate of 4.65%, 5.8 %, and 5.36% respectively, dividend yield of 0%, 0% and 2% respectively, volatility factor related to the expected market price of the Company's common stock of .804, .449, and .262, respectively, and weighted-average expected option life of five years. The weighted average fair value of options calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model granted during 2001, 2000, and 1999 were $3.01, $ 2.91 and $2.35, respectively. For purposes of proforma disclosures, the options' estimated fair values are amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods. The Company's proforma information for the years ended March 31, is as follows. Consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, had compensations cost been determined based on the fair value of awards granted in 2001, 2000 and 1999 the income and loss attributable to common shareholders would have been as follows: Year Ending March 31, 2001 2000 1999 Net income (loss) (as reported) $ 1,098,000 $ 2,313,000 $(5,299,000) Earnings (loss) per common share (as reported): Basic $ .54 $ 1.17 $ (2.63) Diluted $ .54 $ 1.15 $ (2.63) Proforma net income (loss) $ 868,000 $ 2,067,000 $(5,354,000) Proforma earnings (loss) per common share: Basic $ .43 $ 1.04 $ (2.66) Diluted $ .43 $ 1.03 $ (2.66) 9.

INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets and liabilities on the balance sheets reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income-tax purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheets as current or non current based on the classification of the related assets and liabilities. The components of income tax expense (benefit) for continuing operations are as follows for the years ended March 31: 2001 2000 1999 Current expense (benefit): Federal $ 5,000 $ 15,000 $ (627,000) State 18,000 5,000 (55,000) Total current: 23,000 20,000 (682,000) Deferred expense (benefit): Federal - 85,000 505,000 State - - 65,000 Total deferred: - - 570,000 Income tax expense (benefit) $ 23,000 $ 105,000 $ (112,000) The components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following at March 31: 2001 2000 Deferred tax assets: Accounts receivable reserves $ 146,000 $ 195,000 Inventory reserve 280,000 119,000 Accrued compensation/vacation 254,000 326,000 AMT credit carryforwards 66,000 59,000 Net operating loss carryforward 3,488,000 3,793,000 Deferred gain on building sale 194,000 221,000 4,428,000 4,713,000 Deferred tax liabilities: Unbilled accounts receivable-retainage $ - $ 39,000 Depreciation/amortization 434,000 526,000 Contract claims/other 2,000 2,000 436,000 567,000 3,992,000 4,146,000 Valuation allowance (3,992,000) (4,146,000) Net deferred tax asset $ - $ - Due to the uncertainty of future realization, the Company has not recorded a net benefit for these operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets in its fiscal 2001 and 2000 financial statements. The change in the valuation allowance of $154,000 results primarily from the decrease in the net operating loss carryforward due to the use of the carryforward to offset taxable income in the current year. The differences between the provision for income taxes at the expected statutory rate for continuing operations and those shown in the consolidated statements of operations are as follows for the years ended March 31: 2001 2000 1999 Provision (benefit) for income taxes at statutory rate (34.0)% 34.0% (34.0)% State taxes, net of federal benefit (5.0) 5.8 (4.4) Other 3.0 4.5 1.0 Valuation allowance 38.8 (39.5) 35.1 Total 2.8% 4.8% (2.3)% The Company has a $8.6 million of net operating loss carryforwards virtually all of which expires in fiscal 2019. 12.LEASING ACTIVITY The Company is obligated under operating leases for office space and certain equipment.

The deferred revenue is being recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the remaining life of the lease. Total rent expense under operating leases was $972,000, $1,123,000 and $1,188,000 for the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Earnings per share The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share: Years Ended March 31, 2001 2000 1999 Numerator for earnings per share: Net (loss) income as reported from: Continuing operations $(840,000) $ 1,385,000 $(5,316,000) Discontinued operations 244,000 928,000 17,000 Gain on sale of discontinued operations 1,694,000 - - Net income (loss) $1,098,000 $ 2,313,000 $(5,299,000) Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share- 2,022,811 1,984,014 2,012,611 Weighted-average shares outstanding Effect of dilutive securities: 7% convertible debenture - - - Employee stock options - 15,797 - Dilutive potential common shares Denominator for diluted earnings per share - adjusted weighted- average shares and assumed conversions 2,022,811 1,999,811 2,012,611 Earnings (loss) per share - basic: Continuing operations $ (.42) $ .70 $ (2.64) Discontinued operations .12 .47 .01 Gain on sale of discontinued operations .84 - - Basic earnings (loss) per share $ .54 $ 1.17 $(2.63) Diluted earnings (loss) per share: Continuing operations $ (.42) $ .69 $(2.64) Discontinued operations .12 .46 .01 Gain on sale of discontinued operations .84 - - Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ .54 $ 1.15 $ (2.63) The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earning per share is based on the weighted average number of shares including adjustments to both net income and shares outstanding to assume the conversion of dilutive common stock equivalents. Due to the loss from continuing operations in the years ended March 31, 2001 and 1999, the computation of diluted earnings per share for those years is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period and does not include dilutive common stock equivalents. For the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000,and 1999, the convertible debenture was anti-dilutive and therefore not included in diluted earnings per share. 17.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS During the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company announced a plan to divest itself of its Operational Outsourcing Division (HTSI). On May 31, 2000 the transaction was consummated.
