Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On October 6, 2005, Alion Science and Technology Corporation ("Alion" or the "Company") filed a current report on Form 8-K to report the sale on September 30, 2005, of approximately $1.7 million worth of common stock to the Alion Science and Technology Corporation Employee Ownership, Savings and Investment Trust (the "ESOP Trust"). The Company sold approximately 35,376 shares to the ESOP Trust at $33.78 per share and approximately 13,888 shares at $35.89 per share for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.7 million. The Company issued an additional 46,580 shares to the ESOP Trust, at an average price per share of $35.89 as a contribution to the employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") component of the Alion Science and Technology Corporation Employee Ownership, Savings and Investment Plan (the "KSOP"). The shares of common stock were offered to the ESOP Trust pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.





Item 8.01 Other Events.

State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee of the ESOP Trust (the "Trustee") selected the final value of $35.89 per share for Alion’s common stock, as of the September 30, 2005, valuation date. This per share price will remain in effect through the next valuation date, which is scheduled for March 31, 2006. The valuation period ended September 30, 2005, is a three-month valuation period which is shorter than the Company’s standard six-month valuation period.

The Trustee engaged Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc. ("Houlihan Lokey") to assist the Trustee in establishing a value for Alion’s common stock as of the September 30, 2005, valuation date, using the valuation methods listed below:

• Discounted cash flow analysis;
• Public company market multiple analysis; and
• Transaction values and multiples for acquired companies similar to Alion.

Some of the key factors that influenced the Trustee’s decision to sel ect the value of $35.89 per share were the following: the Company’s increased level of cash; the removal of the discount for integration risk related to the acquisition of JJMA; the Company’s decrease in the number of shares and SARs outstanding; the reduction in the Company’s earnout liabilities; the level of the Company’s debt and non-operating liabilities; and the prices of comparable publicly traded companies. Houlihan Lokey prepared a written report, which is solely for the Trustee’s use in connection with its administration and operation of the ESOP, containing Houlihan Lokey’s procedures, analyses and opinion as to a range of equity values for the Company’s common stock. The report prepared by Houlihan Lokey is subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated therein and in the retainer agreement between Houlihan Lokey, the Trustee and the Company. In preparing its report, Houlihan Lokey relied upon the accuracy and completeness of a ll information reviewed by it, including financial projections prepared by management of the Company. There is no assurance that Houlihan Lokey, or any other financial adviser that the Trustee might choose, will utilize the same process of methodologies in connection with future valuations of Alion common stock or that such advisor(s) will reach conclusions that are consistent with those presented therein.
