HALIFAX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY 	Business Activity - Halifax Corporation, (the Company) provides 	Electronic services and Facilities support to Government and industry. These services include installation, 	maintenance, field engineering, operations and logistics support 	for equipment systems and facilities from the most technically 	sophisticated electronics to common hardware. Revenues from 	services rendered to the United States Government and the relative percentages of such revenues to total revenues for the years ended 	March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 are $34,420,000 (73%), $37,750,000 	(83%) and $67,643,000 (93%), respectively. For the years ended 	March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company derived 0%, 15% and 60%, 	respectively, of its revenue from its MPS contract with the U.S. 	Marine Corps. The MPS contract was completed in the first quarter 	of fiscal year 1995. Principles of Consolidation - The Company's consolidated financial 	statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned 	subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are 	eliminated in consolidation. Revenue Recognition - On cost-type contracts, revenues are recorded 	as reimbursable costs are incurred and related fixed and award fees 	are recorded using the percentage of completion method. On time and 	materials contracts, revenues are recorded at the contractual rates 	as labor hours and other direct expenses are incurred. On fixed 	price contracts, revenues are recorded using the percentage of 	completion method. Revenues collected in advance for commercial 	maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized over the term of 	the related agreements. For all contracts, recognition is made of 	any anticipated losses when identified. Disputes involving amounts 	owed the Company by customers arise in the normal course of the 	Company's business. These disputes are primarily due to changes in 	contract specifications and disagreements over the interpretation of contract provisions. Such disputes are recorded at the lesser of 	their estimated net realizable value or actual costs incurred. 	Claims against the Company and contract losses are recognized when 	loss is considered probable and reasonably determinable in amount. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in 	conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Property and Depreciation - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related	assets. Inventory - Inventory consists principally of spare computer parts 	valued at the lower of cost or market on the first-in first-out basis 	and is displayed on the consolidated balance sheet net of allowances 	for inventory obsolence of $804,000 and $611,000 at March 31, 1996 	and 1995, respectively. Income Taxes - The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of 	Financial Accounting Standards Number 109, "Accounting for Income 	Taxes" (SFAS 109). Under SFAS 109, 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. Intangibles and Other Assets - Other assets includes cost in excess 	of net assets of acquired companies described in Note 2 which is 	being amortized using the straight-line method over 25 years. 	Management regularly reviews the valuation and amortization to 	determine possible impairment by comparing the carrying value to 	the undiscounted future cash flows of the related assets. New Accounting Pronouncements - In 1995, the Financial Accounting 	Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting 	Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of 	Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS 	No. 121 requires that certain long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in 	circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may 	not be recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also requires that certain 	long-lived assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the 	carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell. The Company 	will adopt SFAS No. 121 in fiscal 1997, as required, and is in the 	process of evaluating the impact of adopting this standard. Reclasses - Certain prior years balances have been reclassed to 	conform to the 1996 presentation. 2. ACQUISITION On April 1, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of CMS 	Automation, Inc. (CMSA), a private Richmond, VA based computer 	network integration and solutions company. Financial consideration 	was in the Company's stock with an assumption of debt. There was an 	initial payment of approximately 140,000 shares from Treasury Stock representing approximately 12% of Halifax outstanding 	shares at closing and there may be additional payments of common stock over the next three years based on the 	annual earnings of CMSA. The Company filed reports of the 	Acquisition Transaction with the SEC on Form 8-K on April 16, 1996 	and on June 17, 1996. The following proforma information is unaudited and reflects the 	acquisition as if CMSA had been acquired as of April 1, 1995. FY96 (Unaudited) Proforma (000) Halifax CMSA Adjustments Tax Effect Total Revenues $47,159 $21,249 - - $68,408 Net Income 763 (109) 226 89 791 Earnings per share 0.65 .60 Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding #1,171,254 #1,310,884 The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase with the purchase 	price allocated to the assets and liabilities based on their 	estimated fair value. The initial purchase price and 	estimated costs of the transaction exceed the fair value of net 	assets purchased by $348,000 which will be capitalized as part 	of the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets 	acquired. On June 30, 1993, the Company purchased substantially all of the 	assets and liabilities of the Field Services Division of Electronic 	Associates, Inc. (EAI) which is primarily engaged in the 	maintenance of electronic equipment and software for an initial 	purchase price of approximately $2.4 million. Additional payments 	of $1,000,000 were paid over the next 3 years since certain revenue 	objectives were achieved. The Company paid $200,000 relating to 	this requirement in 1994 and $400,000 in both 1995 and 1996. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with the purchase 	price having been allocated to the assets and liabilities based on 	their estimated fair market value. The initial purchase price and 	related costs exceeded the fair value of the net assets purchased by 	$1,235,000. A portion of the purchase price was allocated to 	contract rights ($400,000) and a covenant not to compete ($150,000) 	which are being amortized on a straight- line-basis over 10 and 3 	years, respectively. The additional payments noted above have 	been capitalized as part of the purchase price in excess of the fair 	value of the net assets acquired. Accumulated amortization of costs 	in excess of net assets acquired, contract rights and covenants not 	to compete at March 31, 1996 are $138,000, $110,000 and $107,000, 	respectively. The pro forma information provided below is unaudited and reflects 	the acquisition as if EAI had been acquired as of the beginning of 	the year presented, after accounting for the effect of costs in 	excess of net assets acquired, contract rights, capitalized 	acquisition costs and noncompetition covenant amortization, and the increased interest expense on funds used to finance the 	acquisition. The pro forma information (in 000s) is not 	necessarily indicative of operations that would have occurred had 	the transaction been consummated at the beginning of the period 	presented.

It is 	anticipated that the accounts receivable balance at March 31, 	1996 will be substantially collected within one year. The Company 	has a several claims against the Government which are in various 	stages of the settlement process. Management is unable to determine 	precisely when these claims will be settled because, to some extent, 	settlement is dependent on action by Government representatives 	and other factors outside the control of the Company. However, in 	the opinion of management, adequate provision has been 	made to cover the settlement of all claims and ultimate resolution 	of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect 	on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of 	operations. 4.

Upon the death of a Company officer or a certain former officer and 	at the option of their estates, the Company is committed to 	repurchase their shares (64,619) at current book value. At March 	31, 1996, the aggregate book value of such shares was approximately 	$460,000. 	The Company is defendant or co-defendant in various lawsuits. In 	the opinion of management, none of these lawsuits could 	materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of 	operations of the Company. 12.
