Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On April 28, 2006, Alion Science and Technology Corporation ("Alion" or the "Company") filed a current report on Form 8-K to report the sale on March 31, 2006, of approximately $5.6 million of common stock to the Alion Science and Technology Corporation Employee Ownership, Savings and Investment Trust (the "ESOP Trust"). The Company sold approximately 64,961 shares to the ESOP Trust at $35.89 per share and approximately 89,197 shares at $37.06 per share for aggregate proceeds of approximately $5.6 million. The Company issued an additional 97,908 shares to the ESOP Trust, at an average price per share of $37.06 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.

Pursuant to the valuation performed to determine the offering price of Alion’s common stock as of March 31, 2006, the price of Alion’s common stock is $37.06 per share. This per share price will remain in effect through the next valuation date, which is scheduled for September 30, 2006. The valuation period ending on September 30, 2006, is the Company’s standard six-month valuation period. In connection with the valuation performed to determine the offering price of Alion’s common stock, State Street Bank and Trust Company, the trustee of the ESOP component of the KSOP (the "ESOP Trustee"), engaged Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc. ("Houlihan Lokey") to assist the ESOP Trustee in establishing a value for the Company’s common stock as of March 31, 2006, using the valuation methods listed below:

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

Some of the key factors that contributed to the ESOP Trustee’s decision to select the per share price of $37.06 were: the Company’s increase in revenues; the increased size of the Company as compared to comparable publicly traded companies; and the highly leveraged capital structure of the Company. Houlihan Lokey prepared a written report, solely for the ESOP Trustee’s use in connection with its administration and operation of the ESOP component of the KSOP. The report contains Houlihan Lokey’s procedures, analyses and opinion as to a range of equity values for the Company’s common stock. The report is subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated therein and in the retainer agreement between Houlihan Lokey, the ESOP Trustee and the Company. In preparing its report, Houlihan Lokey relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all information it reviewed, including financial projections prepared by management of the Company. There is no assurance that Houlihan Lokey, or any other financial adviser that the ESOP Trustee might choose, would utilize the same process of methodologies in connection with future valuations of Alion common stock or that any such advisor would reach conclusions consistent with those presented herein.
