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.
