Forward-Looking Statements
     Certain statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While forward-looking statements sometimes are presented with numerical specificity, they are based on various assumptions made by management regarding future events over which we have little or no control. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words including “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions. We caution readers that forward-looking statements, including without limitation, those relating to future business prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity, income, and relationship with employees, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that would cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include the concentration of our revenues, risks involved in contracting with our customers, including the difficulty to accurately estimate costs when bidding on a contract and the occurrence of start-up costs prior to receiving revenues and contracts with fixed price provisions, potential conflicts of interest, difficulties we may have in attracting and retaining management, professional and administrative staff, economic conditions, fluctuation in quarterly results, our ability to generate new business, our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls, risks related to potential delisting from the NYSE AMEX, future ability to meet financial covenants under the Company’s loan agreement, the availability of capital to finance operations and planned growth and ability to make payments on outstanding indebtedness, weakened economic conditions, reduced end-user purchases relative to expectations, pricing pressures, excess and obsolete inventory, acts of terrorism, energy prices, risks related to competition and our ability to continue to perform efficiently on contracts, and other risks and factors identified from time to time in the reports we file with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.
     Forward-looking statements are intended to apply only at the time they are made. Moreover, whether or not stated in connection with a forward-looking statement, we undertake no obligation to correct or update a forward-looking statement should we later become aware that it is not likely to be achieved. If we were to update or correct a forward-looking statement, investors and others should not conclude that we will make additional updates or corrections thereafter.
     All references to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” or “Halifax” refer, on a consolidated basis to Halifax Corporation of Virginia unless otherwise indicated.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
Severance Agreement with Mr. McNew
     On March 31, 2003, we entered into an amended and restated Executive Severance Agreement with Mr. McNew, our President and Chief Executive Officer. This agreement provides severance benefits to Mr. McNew under certain circumstances and remains in effect so long as we continue to employ Mr. McNew. The agreement confirms that Mr. McNew’s employment is at will and provides for termination without additional compensation in the event of death, disability, resignation, retirement or termination for cause, referred to as the excluded circumstances in this document. “Cause” is defined as “gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, willful disregard of the Board of Directors’ direction or breach of a published company policy.”
     Termination for Any Reason Other Than in Connection with an Excluded Circumstance. Under the terms of the agreement, except in connection with a change of control disposition, in the event that Mr. McNew’s employment is terminated other than in connection with an excluded circumstance, Mr. McNew would be entitled to receive his then current salary for a period of twelve months. Based on the foregoing, if Mr. McNew’s employment was terminated on March 31, 2009, Mr. McNew would be entitled to receive a severance payment of $230,863.
     Termination in Connection with a Change of Control Disposition. Under the terms of the agreement, a “change of control disposition” is generally deemed to occur if (i) 25% or more of the voting power of our stock is acquired by another entity or (ii) there is a sale of substantially all of our assets to another entity. In the event that Mr. McNew’s employment is terminated within one year of a change of control disposition, other than in connection with an excluded circumstance, Mr. McNew would be entitled to receive his then current salary for a period of twenty-four months. In the event that Mr. McNew’s employment is terminated for any reason within ninety days following a change of control disposition, Mr. McNew would be entitled to receive an amount equal to two times his then current salary. Based on either of the foregoing, if Mr. McNew’s employment was terminated on March 31, 2009, Mr. McNew would be entitled to receive a severance payment of $461,726.
     The agreement provides that Mr. McNew may elect to receive his severance payments in a lump sum or in equal payments at intervals of no more often than semimonthly over a period of his choice that is not to exceed the number of months of compensation due to him.
     General Requirements. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. McNew may not disclose, publish or use, or permit anyone else to disclose, publish or use, any of our proprietary or confidential information or trade secrets for any purpose unrelated to his employment at any time during or after his employment. Mr. McNew must also return to us all proprietary material that he possesses on the date his employment is terminated. In addition, should Mr. McNew’s

6


 

employment be terminated for any reason other than “Cause,” Mr. McNew may not (i) directly or indirectly, sell, market, or otherwise provide any client or previously identified prospective client, products or services similar to or in competition with those sold or distributed by us, in any geographic area in which we offer any such products or services, or (ii) participate directly or indirectly in the hiring or soliciting for employment of any person we employ.
Termination/Separation Agreement with Joseph Sciacca.
     On May 13, 2009, we entered into an amended and restated severance arrangement with Joseph Sciacca, our Chief Financial Officer. This agreement provides severance benefits to Mr. Sciacca under certain circumstances and remains in effect so long as we continue to employ Mr. Sciacca. The agreement confirms that Mr. Sciacca’s employment is at will and provides for termination without additional compensation in the event of death, disability, resignation, retirement or termination for cause, referred to as the excluded circumstances in this document. “Cause” is defined as “gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, willful disregard of the Board of Directors’ direction or breach of a published company policy.”
     Under the terms of the agreement, except in connection with a change of control disposition, in the event that Mr. Sciacca’s employment is terminated other than in connection with an excluded circumstance, Mr. Sciacca would be entitled to receive his then current salary for a period of twelve months.
     Under the terms of the agreement, a “change of control disposition” is generally deemed to occur if (i) 25% or more of the voting power of our stock is acquired by another entity or (ii) there is a sale of substantially all of our assets to another entity. In the event that Mr. Sciacca’s employment is terminated within one year of a change of control disposition, other than in connection with an excluded circumstance, Mr. Sciacca would be entitled to receive his then current salary for a period of one year. In the event that Mr. Sciacca’s employment is terminated for any reason within ninety days following a change of control disposition, Mr. Sciacca would be entitled to receive an amount equal to one year’s then current salary.
     If the employment of Mr. Sciacca was terminated without cause on March 31, 2009 and assuming the terms of the Amended and Restated Severance Agreement were in effect on such date, Mr. Sciacca would be entitled to receive a payment of $151,668 over a twelve month period.
Termination/Separation Agreements with Mr. Foley and Mr. Reece.
     We entered into a termination/separation agreement with Mr. Foley on January 17, 2003 and Mr. Reece on April 19, 2006.
     As per their respective termination/separation agreements, in the event that the employment of Mr. Foley or Mr. Reece is terminated without cause, each individual would be entitled to receive his then current salary for a period of six months. In each of the aforementioned termination/separation agreements, “Cause” is defined to mean: “A good faith finding by us of your failure to perform the duties reasonably assigned to you; dishonesty, gross negligence or misconduct, or your conviction, or your entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contender, to any crime involving more turpitude or any felony.”
     If the employment of Mr. Foley or Mr. Reece was terminated without cause on March 31, 2009, each would be entitled to receive a payment of $69,674 and $69,181, respectively, over a six month period.
2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan
     Restricted shares awarded to a participant in the 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan will be forfeited and returned to us in the event of a termination of continuous service by the participant for any reason other than death or disability. In the event of death or disability, such shares will not be forfeited and will no longer be subject to restrictions. With respect to unexercised options granted under the 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan, in the event of termination of employment for any reason other than death or disability, such options, will terminate three months after the date of termination of employment. In the event of death or disability, the participant’s executor,

7


 

administrator, legal guardian or custodian, as applicable, may exercise the participant’s vested options within one year of termination of employment.
     If the continuous service of a participant is involuntarily terminated for any reason, other than for cause, within 18 months of a change in control, any restricted period with respect to restricted stock awarded will lapse and such shares will become fully vested. A “change in control,” as defined in the 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan, includes a change in holders of more than 50% of our outstanding voting stock within a 12 month period or any other event deemed to be a change in control by the Compensation Committee.
     In the event of a change in control, options to purchase shares of our common stock awarded under the 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan may be exercised for up to 100% of the total number of shares then subject to the option minus the number of shares previously purchased upon exercise of the option and the vesting date may accelerate accordingly. In addition, in the event of a sale or a proposed sale of the majority of our stock or assets or a proposed change in control, the Compensation Committee has the right to terminate options granted under the 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan upon thirty days prior written notice, subject to the participant’s right to exercise such option to the extent vested prior to such termination.
     If the change of control had occurred on March 31, 2009, our named executive officers would not have received the value of the potential benefit that each such executive might be entitled to receive upon a change of control under our 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan because the per share exercise price of unvested options exceeded the $0.32 closing price per share of our common stock on March 31, 2009.
1994 Key Employee Stock Option Plan
     Upon termination of a participant’s employment for reason other than death, disability or retirement (defined as termination of employment by a participant on or after attainment of age 65), the participant may, within three months from the date of such termination, exercise all or any part of the participant’s vested options, provided such termination was not for cause. If such termination was for cause, the right of the participant to exercise such options will terminate immediately.
     Upon termination of a participant’s employment by reason of disability or retirement, the participant may, within two years after the date of retirement or the date which is six months after the participant is first absent from active employment due to disability exercise all or a part of the participant’s vested options. In the event of the death of a participant, the participant’s beneficiary shall have the right to exercise vested options until the expiration of the earlier of two years from the date of the participant’s death or the date of expiration of the options pursuant to the termination provisions of the 1994 Key Employee Stock Option Plan.
     All unvested options expire at the date of the termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may permit a participant, who terminates employment by retirement (prior to or after the attainment of age 65) and who will continue to render significant services to us or one of our subsidiaries after his or her retirement, to continue to accrue service with respect to the right to exercise his or her options during the period in which the individual continues to render such services.

Fiscal 2009 Director Compensation
     Our compensation program for outside directors is designed to enable us to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified directors to serve on our Board of Directors. It is also intended to further align the interests of our directors with those of our shareholders. The following table sets forth information regarding the compensation of our outside directors for the fiscal year 2009.

(2)   This column represents the dollar amount recognized for financial reporting purposes with respect to the 2009 fiscal year for the fair value of stock options granted to each director in accordance with SFAS 123R. These amounts were calculated using the Black Sholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: an expected volatility of 49.00% to 84.35%, an expected term to exercise of 5.5 to 6.25 years and an interest rate of 2.8% to 4.94% and disregarding the estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. These amounts reflect our accounting expense related to awards granted in and prior to the 2009 fiscal year, as applicable, and do not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by each director.
 
(3)   On September 10, 2008 the above named directors were each issued options to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.66 per share. The options vest in full one year from the grant date.

Director Compensation Description
     Under our Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan, each director was granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the first of the month following the date of the annual meeting of shareholders on which he was initially elected and was granted options to purchase up to 2,000 shares of common stock on each annual re-election by the shareholders as one of our directors. Such options were granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. No further options may be granted pursuant to our Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan. Each non-employee director is eligible to receive awards under our 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan.
     On September 10, 2008, the outside directors received options to purchase 2,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.66 per share. This option award vests in one year from the date of grant.
     On March 26, 2009, the outside directors were each issued options to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price $0.32 per share. This option award vests at the rate of 20% per year commencing on the first anniversary of the option grant date.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Transactions with Related Persons
     On June 29, 2007, we amended our 8% promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 dated November 2, 1998, as amended June 29, 2005, and 8% promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 dated November 5, 1998, as amended June 29, 2005, to extend the maturity date of each promissory note to July 1, 2009. All other terms and conditions of the promissory notes remain the same. The holders of the 8% promissory notes are The Arch C. Scurlock Children’s Trust and Nancy M. Scurlock. Each holder owns more than 10% of our common stock. Arch C. Scurlock, Jr., a beneficiary and trustee of The Arch C. Scurlock Children’s Trust, and John H. Grover, a trustee of The Arch C. Scurlock Children’s Trust, are members of our Board of Directors. During our 2007 fiscal year, we paid $50,000 of accrued interest on the promissory notes. During our 2009 fiscal year, we did not make any interest payment on the promissory notes. At March 31, 2009, the aggregate balance of the promissory notes was $1.0 million.
     On May 24, 2007, the Audit Committee adopted written policies and procedures regarding related party transactions. Our related party transactions policy covers any transaction, arrangement or relationship or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we or any of our subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $1,000, and in which any related party had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest. Under this policy, the Audit Committee must approve all related party transactions between us or one of our subsidiaries and a director, nominee for director, executive officer, five percent shareholder, certain related entities or immediate family members of a director, executive officer or five percent shareholder that would be required to be disclosed in our proxy statements. The policy also authorizes the Chairperson of the Audit Committee to approve, or reject, proposed related party transactions in those instances in which it is not practicable or desirable for us to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting. Pursuant to the policy, the Audit Committee or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, as applicable, is authorized to approve only those related party transactions that are reasonably necessary to our business and fair to us, as the Audit Committee or its Chairperson determines in good faith.
     All interested parties who wish to communicate with our Audit Committee may do so by addressing their written correspondence to the Audit Committee at Halifax Corporation of Virginia, 5250 Cherokee Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22312.
Independence of Directors
     Our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Grover, Toups, Hewitt and Young are independent as defined by the applicable rules of the NYSE Amex Company Guide. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that a majority of its members are independent as defined by the applicable rules of the NYSE Amex Company Guide. In making this determination, our Board of Directors considered the relationship of Mr. Grover as a trustee of The Arch C. Scurlock Children’s Trust, one of our 10% shareholders.
