Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     (a)   On November 25, 1996, Halifax Corporation through its
wholly-owned subsidiary CMS Automation, Inc. ("CMSA") acquired the
ongoing computer network integration business of Consolidated Computer
Investors, Inc. ("CCI") of Hanover, Maryland through an asset
purchase.  These computer network integration and business solution
activities will operate as a division of  CMSA.  The assets purchased
included accounts receivable, inventory and furniture, fixtures and
equipment used in the conduct of the operations. The Company paid
$114,210 in cash and assumed secured debt totaling $1,679,713.  The
cash paid was equal to the estimated net assets purchased.  The source
of the consideration was the Company's ongoing working capital line of
credit.  Under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state of Maryland,
the $114,210 cash proceeds were tendered to an escrow agent for
inclusion in a Bulk Transfer transaction.


Item 7.     Financial Statements and Exhibits

(a)  Financial Statements of Business Acquired

None.

(b)  Pro Forma Financial Information

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
statements have been prepared by Halifax's management from the
consolidated financial statements of Halifax and CCI.  The Unaudited
Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statement of Earnings for a full year
period reflects adjustments as if the CCI asset purchase transaction
had occurred on April 1, 1995.  In order to provide comparability of
operations data, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statement
of Earnings for the full fiscal year includes data for the effect of
the CMSA acquisition made by Halifax effective April 1, 1996 and
reported on SEC Form 8-K on April 15, 1996.  A second Statement of
Earnings is included for the six month period ending September 30,
1996 and reflects adjustments as if the CCI asset purchase transaction
had occurred on April 1, 1996.  This six month statement of earnings
includes CMSA's historical results of operations in the consolidated
Halifax historical data.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed
Balance Sheet reflects adjustments as if the CCI asset purchase
transaction had occurred on September 30, 1996.  See "Note 1 - Basis
of Presentation."  The unaudited pro forma adjustments described in
the accompanying notes are based upon preliminary estimates and
certain assumptions that management of Halifax believes are reasonable
in the circumstances.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are
not necessarily indicative of financial position or results of
operations that would have resulted if the asset purchase transaction
had occurred on the applicable dates indicated above.  Moreover, they
are not intended to be indicative of future results of operations or
financial position.  The pro forma combined condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements of Halifax and related notes
thereto,  included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended March 31, 1996 and the Corporation's Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 1996 and September 30,
1996.
