Item 8.01 Other Events

	  The Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") of
Halifax Corporation of Virginia ("Halifax") will be held on March 26,
2009, which date is more than 30 calendar days from the date on which
the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders took place. The proxy rules
promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), require Halifax to inform shareholders of this change in date
in addition to the new deadlines for shareholder proposals.
Accordingly, Halifax hereby notifies its shareholders that shareholder
proposals for the Annual Meeting must be submitted to Halifax by
February 16, 2009 to receive consideration for inclusion in Halifax's
proxy materials. Any such proposal must also comply with the proxy
rules under the Exchange Act, including Rule 14a-8.

	In addition, shareholders are notified that the deadline for
providing Halifax with timely notice of any shareholder proposal to be
submitted outside of the Rule 14a-8 process for consideration at the
Annual Meeting is February 16, 2009. As to all such matters which
Halifax does not have notice on or prior to February 16, 2009,
discretionary authority will be granted to the persons designated in
the proxy statement related to the Annual Meeting to vote on such
matters.

	Shareholder proposals must be in writing, include the information
required by Halifax's bylaws and be sent to Halifax's offices located
at 5250 Cherokee Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22312.  All late or
nonconforming proposals will be rejected. Halifax's bylaws are
available, at no cost, on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov, as Exhibit
3.2 to Halifax's Annual Report on Form10-K for its fiscal year ended
March 31, 2004 or upon the shareholder's written request to Corporate
Secretary, Halifax Corporation of Virginia, 5250 Cherokee Avenue,
Alexandria, Virginia 22312.
