Note B - Acquisition

In accordance with a Plan of Merger ("Plan") which was duly adopted by the 
board of directors of both parties to the merger, CMS Automation, Inc. 
("CMS"), a Virginia corporation, merged into CMSA Acquisition Corporation 
("CMSA"), a Virginia corporation wholly owned by Halifax Corporation, a 
Virginia corporation.  CMS merged into CMSA on the following basis.
Pursuant to the Plan, each issued and outstanding share of CMS
common stock was converted into, and became exchangeable for, the number of 
sharesof validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable common stock of 
Halifax equal to aconversion ratio meaning a fraction, the numerator of 
which is 139,630 and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of the 
number of shares of CMS issued and utstanding on the effective date of the 
merger plus the number of shares that would be represented by the conversion 
of $450,000 worth of debt to equity.  In this regard, CMS shareholders who 
held promissory notes of CMS in the amount of $450,000 converted said debt 
to equity in CMS.   In addition to the initial issuance of 139,630 shares
 of Halifax stock to CMS shareholders which was based on the net equity 
value of CMS, Halifax stock will be awarded annually for three (3) years 
subsequent of the merger to the CMS shareholders on a pro-rate basis, 
excluding Halifax stock issued as a result of the conversion of debt to 
equity, having a value equal to one-third of the net after tax income
of CMSA operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Halifax.

The assets acquired included accounts receivable and the inventory and 
equipment used in conducting and operating the business of CMS which 
consists of computer systems integration including wide area and local area 
networking, consulting, application development and training.

Closing of the transaction took place on April 1, 1996 with a Certificate of 
Merger issued by the State Corporation Commission of Virginia effective 
April 9, 1996.  Results of CMSA operations have been included since the 
date of the transactions.

information presents the historical results of operation of the Company 
and CMSA for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, with pro

based upon certain estimates and assumptions the management of the Company

Note D - Contingent Matters

The Company is a co-defendant or is defendant in various lawsuits.  The 
Company provides for costs related to contingencies when a loss is probable 
and the amount is reasonably determinable.  In the opinion of management, 
based on advice of counsel, that the ultimate resolution of any contingencies,
to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse 
effect on the financial condition of the Company. However, depending on the 
amount and timing of an unfavorable resolution of these contingencies, it is 
possible that the Company's future results of operation or cash flows could 
be materially affected in a particular quarter.

Note E - New Accounting Pronouncements 

The Company adopted 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," effective April 1, 1996.  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. Additionally, SFAS 
No. 121 requires that certain long-lived assets to be disposed of 
be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to 
sell.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the 
Company's consolidated earnings and financial condition.

Item 2
Managements' Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations


Results of Operations

Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 of $15,640,000 represent an 
increase of approximately $6,694,000 or 75% over those in the first quarter 
of FY 1996.  The increase was due largely to the acquisition of CMSA 
although 18% of the growth came from existing lines of business.

Costs of services, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 86% in the 
first quarter of 1996 to 81% in the first quarter of FY 1997.  Improvement 
in this margin resulted from the combination of a different cost mix at 
CMSA.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of 
revenue increased from 9% in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 to 15% in the 
first quarter of FY 1997.  This increase also resulted from the combination
of the different cost mix of CMSA.

Net income for the quarter of $269,000 or 21 cents per share represents an 
increase over the first quarter of FY 1995 of $81,000 and 5 cents per share 
or 43% and 31% respectively.

Interest expense in both periods was 1% of revenue.  This relationship was 
maintained in FY 1997 by combined borrowing under the Company's new 
borrowing agreement representing significant interest rate reductions over 
CMSA's prior credit.

Financial Condition

The financial condition of the Company remains strong with working capital 
of $12,900,000 and a current ratio of 2.43:1.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Net cash outflows from operations were $10,071,000 for the first quarter of 
FY 1997 as compared with net cash inflows of $1,233,000 in the comparable 
period of FY 1996.  The paydown of accrued liabilities for a large hardware 
delivery order made in the fourth quarter of FY96 accounted for the 
significant outflow of cash in the first quarter of FY 1997.  Long-term debt 
and cash balances provided the financing for this significant reduction of 
current accounts payable. At FY end 1996, the Company's Long-term debt
had been significantly reduced and cash balances increased by prepayments 
received for the aforementioned hardware delivery order.  The Company 
expects that cash generated from operations and the Company's line of credit 
will be sufficient to meet its normal operating and dividend requirements in 
the foreseeable future.
