     Note A - 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 month period
     ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
     that  may  be expected for the year ending March 31,  1999.   For
     further   information   refer  to  the   consolidated   financial
     statements   and  footnotes  thereto  included  in  the   Halifax
     Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended March

     Note C - Contingent Matters
     
     The Company is a co-defendant or is defendant in various lawsuits
     wherein  any  potential liability is fully insured against.   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, the  ultimate
     resolution  of  any contingencies, to the extent  not  previously
     provided  for,  will not have a material adverse  effect  on  the
     financial  position  or  results of operations  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.
     
                                     
                                     
                                  Item 2
                                     
                  Management's' Discussion and Analysis
                       of Financial Conditions and
                          Results of Operations
     
     
     
     
     
     Results of Operations
     
     Revenues  for  the  first quarter of fiscal 1999  of  $17,264,000
     represent  a decrease of approximately $771,000 or 4% from  those
     in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  The decrease was due to not
     receiving  significant  expected orders on  large  communications
     contracts  held by the Company with the Federal Government  which
     have  been adversely impacted by Year 2000 issues in the  Federal
     Government..
     
     Cost of services, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from  93%
     in  the  first quarter of fiscal 1998 to 89% in the first quarter
     of fiscal 1999.  The improvement in this margin resulted from the
     combination  of  lower direct costs, especially parts  usage  and
     labor, in the Company's computer-printer maintenance business and
     a  cost mix at HTSC which emphasized higher margin services work.
     Selling,  general and administrative expenses as a percentage  of
     revenue  was  7.6%   in  the  first quarter  of  fiscal  1999  as
     contrasted to 6.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
     
     Interest  expense in the fiscal 1999 period was 2.0%  of  revenue
     versus 2.4% in fiscal 1998.
     
     Financial Condition
     
     The financial condition of the Company remains sound with working
     capital of $22,300,000 and a current ratio of 2.99:1.
     
     
     Liquidity and Sources of Capital
     
     Net  cash outflows from operations were $1,138,000 for the  first
     quarter  of  fiscal  1999 as compared with net  cash  inflows  of
     $639,000  in  the comparable period of fiscal 1998.  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.

      As reported on Form 10K/A dated March 31, 1998, the Company signed
     a new banking agreement on June  25, 1998 which restructured the
     Company's debt as presented at March 31, 1998 except for the  
     "7%  Convertible Subordinated Debenture" and the "Other  Notes
      Payable."   The  new  debt  structure  consists  of  a  revolving 
      line  of credit and two term loans which in total make $17.5 million
       of credit available to the Company.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     Year 2000 Compliance
     

     As a service provider to commercial and government entities for
     the assessment, remediation, and testing for year 2000 readiness
     of computer desktop devices and networks, the Company does not
     certify  "Compliance" in its contract agreements.  The Company
     provides customers with test results which it represents to be
     correct as backed up by test documentation.
     
     Halifax has established and is implementing a program for
     compliance of its own hardware, software, and files.  The Company
     is planning for the remediation of in-house systems associated
     with accounting/finance, service call management, local and wide
     area networks, messaging systems, and administration.  Some of
     these features are being taken care of as a by-product of the
     Company's program to web-enable (Internet) many of its systems to
     meet customer requirements and/or promote efficiency and
     competitive advantage.  Activities are currently underway
     assessing the Company's systems and applications.  In order to
     judge the stability of its business supply chain, the Company has
     initiated a comprehensive process of contacting clients, vendors
     and suppliers to ascertain their preparation for this issue.  The
     Company estimates its costs to be fully compliant by mid-1999 at
     $200,000.
     
     
     Forward-Looking Statements
     
     The above may contain certain forward-looking statements which
     are based on management's current views and assumptions regarding
     future events and financial performance.  Reference should be
     made to Item 7 of Halifax Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-
     K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998 concerning "forward-
     looking statements" for a description of the important factors
     that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
     discussed above.
