Item 2.02.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On Wednesday, November 9, 2011, Fortress International Group, Inc. (the “Company”), issued a press release reporting certain financial results of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

A copy of the press release is being furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The Company’s financial results contain non-GAAP financial measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided reconciliations within the press release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Disclosure regarding definitions of these measures used by the Company and why the Company’s management believes the measures provide useful information to investors is also included in the press release.

The Company will conduct a conference call to discuss its financial results on Wednesday, November 9, 2011, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time.

The information in this Report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Such information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Statements contained in this report contain “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this context, forward-looking statements may address matters such as our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as "guidance," "prospects," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "should," or "will." Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively affect the Company's future results include: the Company's reliance on a significant portion of its revenues from a limited number of customers; risks relating to operating in a highly competitive industry; actual or potential conflicts of interest between the Company and members of the Company’s senior management; risk relating to rapid technological, structural, and competitive changes affecting the industries the Company serves; the uncertainty as to whether the Company can replace its backlog; risks involved in properly managing complex projects; risks relating to the possible cancellation of customer contracts on short notice; risks relating to our ability to continue to implement our business plan; risks relating to our ability to meet all of the terms and conditions of our debt obligations; and uncertainty related to current economic conditions and the related impact on demand for our services. These uncertainties may cause the Company's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
