Exhibit 99.1
HALIFAX ANNOUNCES SALE OF ITS SECURE NETWORK
SERVICES BUSINESS FOR $12.5 MILLION IN CASH
Company Centralizes Focus on Enterprise Maintenance Services Business
ALEXANDRIA, VA - July 1, 2005 - Halifax Corporation (AMEX:HX) today announced
that it has sold its Secure Network Services business to INDUS Corporation for
$12.5 million in cash, subject to adjustment. The sale, effective today,
includes all assets of the business including associated contracts and certain
liabilities.
Charles McNew, president and chief executive officer, stated, "Although the
Secure Network Services business generated $13.6 million in annual revenues for
our most recent fiscal year, it does not fit into our core enterprise
maintenance strategy. Additionally, the infusion of cash significantly
strengthens our balance sheet and expands our options".
The sale was simultaneously signed and closed under an asset purchase agreement,
in which Halifax has sold substantially all of the assets and certain
liabilities of the Secure Network Services division for $12.5 million, subject
to certain adjustments and holdbacks described in the agreement among the
parties. The Secure Network Services division provides infrastructure support
services (voice, data and video) for secure environments.
He added, "The contracts and customer relationships of the Secure Network
Services business will be valuable to INDUS, as it continues to expand its IT
services work for the federal government. I'm confident that INDUS not only
will continue to provide a high level of service and support to our customers,
but that it will offer greater opportunities for growth for our employees and
suppliers given its exclusive focus on the federal marketplace".
BB&T Capital Market Windsor Group served as the exclusive financial advisor for
Halifax in this transaction. Reference is made to the Company's current Report
on Form 8K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for
