Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements



Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of 
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) 
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  
Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended
December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may 
be expected for the year ended March 31, 1996.  For further 
information refer to the consolidated financial statements and 
footnotes thereto included in the Halifax Corporation annual report 
on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1995.

Managements' Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net revenues increased 18% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to $11.2 million,
up $1.7 million over the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  The increase was
primarily due to improved revenues on communication service contracts.  For the
first nine months of fiscal 1996, net revenues of $29 million were $5 million or
15% less than the same period in fiscal 1995.  The nine month period decrease
resulted from the completion of a large U.S. Marine Corp. contract in fiscal
1995.  The contact contributed $5.5 million of revenues in the first quarter of
the prior year.


Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was $191,000, down slightly from
$209,000 for the same quarter last year.  For the nine months ending December 
31, 1995, net income was $406,000, or 34% less than the comparable period of the
prior year.  The reduction in income is primarily the result of litigation
expenses of $294,000 associated with a trial and lawsuit described below. 
Operating margins for the year to date through December 31, 1995, remained
comparable to the same period for the prior year.  However, operating margins 
for the third quarter were lower than those of the prior year due to increased 
resale revenues associated with one of the communication contracts.  Decreased 
interest expense reflects lower borrowing levels and lower interest rates in the
current year.



Liquidity and Sources of Capital


Cash flows used by operations were $357,000 for the first nine months ended
December 31, 1995 as compared with $3,035,000 provided by operations in  the
comparable period of the prior year.  The $406,000 increase in net income for 
the period was offset by other changes in working capital accounts.  Accounts 
payable and accrued expenses declined during the period by $1,182,000 and 
accounts receivable increased $569,000.  These uses of cash were partly offset 
by decreased inventory balances and non-cash depreciation and amortization 
expense. 



The Company's financial position continued to improve in the third quarter ended
December 31, 1995.  The Company's current ratio improved to 2.97 at December 31,
1995.  This current ratio compares with 2.36 at March 31, 1995.  Long-term
borrowings increased approximately $2.4 million  in the third quarter to finance
increased revenues.  The debt to equity ratio of 1.64:1 at December 31, 1995
remains comparable to the debt to equity ratio of 1.63:1 at March 31, 1995.  The
Company has approximately $2.3 million of its $7 million credit facility
available to finance future growth.  
<PAGE>

The Company is confident that cash generated from normal operations and the
corporation's line of credit will be sufficient to meet its normal operating
requirements in the foreseeable future.  The Company's funded backlog for
services as of December 31, 1995 was $30,000,000 as compared to $17,000,000 at
March 31, 1995.  As of December 31, 1995, based on total amounts bid on 
contracts awarded, the company's five year potential revenues for work remaining
to be performed under existing contracts are approximately $106,000,000.


Contingent Matters


The Company is a defendant or co-defendant in various law suits.  In one of 
these lawsuits, the plaintiff sought damages for alleged interference with its 
business expectency.  As previously reported on October 27, 1995, a jury awarded
the plainfiff $435,177 for compensatory damages plus interest from January 14, 
1990.  On January 16, 1996, a final judgement was entered in Halifax's favor by
the court, which granted Halifax's post-trial motion to set aside the earlier 
jury verdict.  The plaintiff has filed an appeal of this judgement.  The Company
provides for costs related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the
amount is reasonably determinable.  It continues to be the belief of management,
based on advice from counsel, that the ultimate resolution of this contingency
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the
Company.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Commercial Business Systems, Inc. v. Halifax Corporation, et al.

Plaintiff's claim, which has been the subject of judicial proceedings since
August of 1990 and was consolidated with a similar claim against BellSouth, went
to trial on October 18, 1995, resulting in a jury verdict against Halifax, a
former employee and a non-employee, for wrongful interference with a prospective
business relationship.  The jury award for compensatory damages plus interest 
has been overturned by the judge in the case and final judgment entered in 
favor of Halifax.  The plaintiff has appealed this decision.
