EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment No. 2”) to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Fortress International Group, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Original Annual Report”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”), is being filed solely to revise the opinion and consent provided by Grant Thornton LLP as follows:

(i) to revise the opinion provided by Grant Thornton LLP on the audited financial statements of Vortech, LLC and VTC, LLC for the period from January 1, 2007 to January 19, 2007 (the “audited financial statements”) by identifying Grant Thornton LLP as an “Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” and stating that the audited financial statements have been conducted in accordance with the “Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)”, as indicated below; and

(ii) to revise the consent provided by Grant Thornton LLP in connection with the audited financial statements by identifying Grant Thornton LLP as an “Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”. The revised consent is filed herewith as Exhibit 23.2.

Except as described above, no other amendments are being made to the Original Report, as amended by Amendment No. 1. This Amendment No. 2 does not reflect events occurring after March 31, 2008, the filing date of the Original Annual Report, or modify or update the disclosure contained in the Original Annual Report in any way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above and reflected below and in Exhibit 23.2. We are including in this Amendment No. 2 Item 15—Exhibits in its entirety. As a result of this Amendment No. 2, we are also filing as exhibits to this Amendment No. 2 the certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Fortress International Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Vortech, LLC and VTC, LLC (the “Company”) (a Delaware corporation) as of January 19, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2007 through January 19, 2007. Our audit of the basic financial statements included the financial statement schedule for the year ended December 31, 2007 listed in the index appearing under Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audited included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Vortech, LLC and VTC, LLC as of January 19, 2007, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 2007 through January 19, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein for the period from January 1, 2007 through January 19, 2007.
