    I.

      Introduction.

    The

     heated rhetoric and conspiracy theories

     that

     constitute

     Kimberlin's Complaint

     fail

    to state any

     claim

      against the HB

     Gary

     Defendants on

     which relief

     can be granted. As is set

    forth

      at length in the  Motions  to  Dismiss  fi led  by Defendants

      United

      States Chamber of

    Commerce

      (Docket No. 40) and Palantir Technologies, Inc. (Docket No. 50),

      which

      are

    incorporated  and adopted by reference herein (the Incorporated

      Motions ),  Kimber l in

      has

    not suffered any compensable

      injury,  failed

      to

      fi le

      his

      Complaint  within

      the applicable

    limitation

      periods, and has not

      plausibly pled

      the elements of any of the statutory or tort

    causes of actions  that  he asserts. See Docket N o .  40-1 at §§ 1-3; Docket N o .  50-1 at § 3.

    Those claims must be dismissed.

    Rather than burdening the Court

     with

      restating the same arguments set forth in the

    Incorporated

     Motions,

     the H B

     Gary

     Defendants, for purposes

      of judicial

     economy, adopt and

    direct

     the Court to the pertinent arguments set forth in the Incorporated

     Motions.

    1

     This

      M ot ion

    instead addresses the substance of

     Kimberlin's

     Count II for fraudulent conveyance against the

    H B

      Gary

     Defendants relating to the sale ofthe

     assets

     o f

      H B

      Gary/Federal

    (as

      identified

     by

    Kimber l in

      in his Complaint) to

      ManTech.

      L ike  his other  wi ld  allegations,

      Kimberlin's

    fraudulent conveyance count

      fails

     to state a claim  on which relief can be granted.

      Kimberl in

    does not allege

     that

      the sale of

     assets

     by any of the H B

     Gary

      Defendants to

      ManTech

      was

    without

      fair

     consideration. Nor does

      Kimb er l in

     allege plausibly, much less

     with

     the required

    particularity,

     that

     any of the H B

     Gary

     Defendants engaged in actual fraud in conducting the

    asset

     sale. Rather,

     Kimber l in

     has pled the occurrence of a common

     commercial

     transaction in

    which one business purchases the assets, but not the  liabilities, of another. Because

     Kimberl in

    1

      The H B

      Gary

     Defendants request and reserve the right to adopt and incorporate arguments

    set forth in Motions to Dismiss fi led by any other Defendant in this action.

  • 8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted

    6/57

    has not plausibly alleged  facts  from which the Court could

      find

      that

      this transaction

      was

    fraudulent, his Count II fai ls to state a claim on which relief may be granted.

    Only  two factual allegations in the Complaint are  about

     Defendant

      ManTech. The

    first, paragraph 9,  alleges that ManTech is a cyber-security company and acquired HB Gary,

    Inc.'s

      assets

      in 2012. The second factual allegation,  paragraph  49,  alleges

      that

      ManTech

    purchased

     the  assets of H B  Gary, Inc. with knowledge  that HB Gary, Inc. had  been involved

    in  illegal activities and  structured  the  purchase  to avoid liabilities. Based on

     those

      alleged

    facts, Kimberlin

     alleges

     that  ManTech conspired to

      make

      a

      fraudulent

     conveyance. As set

    forth herein, Count 2 fails to

      state

     a claim for

     fraudulent

     conveyance and should be dismissed.

    N o

     other

     claim in the Complaint is directed at ManTech.

    II.

      Statement Regarding Parties.

    2

    Kimberlin's  Complaint fails to properly or clearly identify the  parties  against  whom

    his Complaint is

      asserted.

      The Complaint's caption lists as a  party-defendant  HB

    Gary/Federal. The section of

     Kimberlin's

     Complaint regarding the

     parties

     to this action

     does

    not identify or provide any additional information about the HB Gary/Federal entity listed

    in the caption. See Complaint at f f 1-20.

      Kimber l in

      later identifies HB Gary/Federal as an

    amalgamation of two  separate  and legally-distinct

     entities

     which Kimberlin identifies as HB

    Gary

     Federal and  H B  Gary. Complaint at pg.  16 f 5.

    3

    2

      This  Statement  is offered for clarification  purposes  due to the lack of  proper party

    identification in Kimberlin 's Complaint. Regardless of who the  parties to the

      events

      alleged

    in  the Complaint are, Kimberlin's Count II (along with

      each

      and every  other

      count

      averred

    against  the HB Gary Defendants in his Complaint) fails to  state a claim on which relief may

    be granted.

    3

      At

      page

      12 of his Complaint, Kimberlin

      abandons

      the sequential numbering of his

    allegations and restarts his

     numbered

     paragraphs from the beginning at

     1.

    7/57

    Kimberlin's  Complaint is primarily aimed at alleged actions involving Team

    Themis.

    Kimber l in

      identifies HB Gary/Federal as a defendant to five (5) different counts

    that

      are

      based

      on the alleged plan developed by Team Themis, which plan

      never came

      to

    fruition.

    4

      The exhibits to his Complaint identify HB Gary Federal as HB Gary Federal,

    L L C  on  documents relating to Team Themis. Complaint, at Exhibit E (alleged proposal to

    Hunton &  Wi l l i ams,  L L P from Berico Technologies,

      L L C ,

      Palantir Technologies, Inc., and

    H B  Gary Federal L L C ) ; Exhibit RR (alleged teaming  agreement  between  Berico

    Technologies,  L L C and HB Gary Federal  L L C  to submit a proposal to Hunton &

      Wil l iams,

    L L P ) .

      H B Gary, Inc. is not listed as one of the  parties  submitting the proposal or

    participating in the teaming  agreement.  Complaint at

     E x .

     E, RR.

    Although Kimber l in  seeks

     to treat  the two legally-distinct entities of H B Gary Federal,

    L L C

      and HB Gary, Inc. as a single entity that he calls HB Gary/Federal, he

     cannot

     by slight

    of  hand or slip of allegation transform two  entities  into one.

      G i ven

      that  the bulk of the

    Complaint

     is aimed at the alleged activities of Team Themis, this  M ot i on is fi led on behalf of

    H B Gary Federal,

      L L C .

    The party whose  assets were sold to ManTech, on the  other  hand, was H B Gary, Inc.

    See Exhibit 1  hereto,  Form 10-Q

      dated

      May 4, 2012  fi led  by ManTech International

    Corporation, at pg. 27 ( On

      Apr i l

      2,

      2012,

      we completed the acquisition of certain  assets of

    H B G a r y ,  Inc. ).

    5

      HB Gary, Inc.  subsequently  changed its  corporate  name  to Terracina

    4

      The five counts  involving Team Themis are: Count 1 (Conspiracy to Violate Ci v i l  Rights

    Act),  Count 3 (Conspiracy to  Invade  Privacy - Intrusion Upon Seclusion), Count 6

    (Commission

      of and Conspiracy to Commit

      R IC O ) ,

      Count 7 (Conspiracy to  Interfere with

    Business Relations and Prospective Business Advantage), and Count 8 (Intentional Infliction

    of  Emotional Distress).

    is not before the Court at this time.

    III. Standard of

     Review.

    This

      Mot ion under Rule 12(b)(6)

     tests

     the legal

     sufficiency

     of Kimberlin's Complaint.

    Presley v. City of Charlottesville,  464 F.3d 480, 483 (4th  Cir. 2006).  While the Court accepts

    Kimberlin's

      well-pleaded factual allegations as true,

      that

      deference is inapplicable to legal

    conclusions

    and  [tjhreadbare recitals o f the elements of a  cause  of action, supported by

    mere conclusory statements, do not  suffice. Ashcroft v. Iqbal,  556  U . S .  662, 678 (2009). In

    order to survive this

      Mot ion , Kimber l in

      must

      state[]

      a plausible

      claim

      for

      relief

      that

    permit[s] the court to infer more than the mere possibility of misconduct. Id.  at 679. The

    required well-pleaded facts in

     Kimberlin's

      Complaint must raise a right to  relief  above the

    speculative  level and be more than merely consistent with  the occurrence of the alleged

    fraudulent conveyance.  Bell Atl. Corp.  v.  Twombly,  550 U.S . 544, 555, 557 (2007). In

    assessing this

      Mot ion ,

     the Court may consider documents

      that

     are integral to the Complaint

    and also may consider extrinsic facts that are susceptible to judicial notice.  Am.  Chiro.  Ass  n

    v. Trigon Healthcare,  Inc., 367 F.3d 212, 234 (4th  Cir. 2004); Brooks  v. Arthur,  626 F.3d 194,

    200 (4th Cir . 2010).

    Kimberlin's

     Count II alleges

     that

     the H B Gary Defendants engaged in actual fraud in

    conducting the  asset  sale. Complaint at  %  66. Allegations of fraud are subject not only to

    Twombly s  and Iqbal s

      plausibility

     standard; but also to Fed. R. Civ . Proc. 9(b)'s particularity

    requirement. Under Fed. R.

     Civ .

     Proc. 9(b)'s standard,  Kimber l in  is required to set for th 'the

    who, what, when, where, and how of the alleged fraud' before access to the discovery process

    Litigation,  876 F.Supp.2d 616, 626 n.7 (D. M d. 2012), and may therefore consider this

    evidence in deciding this

      Mot ion .

    IV.  Kimberlin Fails to  State a Claim Upon Which  Relief May Be Granted Under the

    Maryland Uniform Fraudulent

      Conveyances

     Act.

    A .

      Kimber l in  is Not a Creditor of the H B Gary Defendants Because He Fails  to

    Plausibly

     Allege A n y Substantive Cause of Act ion.

    A t  the  outset, Kimberlin's  Count II must be dismissed because he  does not plausibly

    allege any other substantive  cause of action against the  H B  Gary Defendants and is, therefore,

    not a creditor of the H B Gary Defendants. As described in the Incorporated

      Motions,

    Kimber l in  affirmatively alleges  that  he discovered his  causes  of action by  March 11,  2011

    (see Complaint at  \  46), rendering his claims time-barred, has not suffered any

      legally-

    cognizable

      injury, and  does  not plausibly allege the substantive elements of the  causes of

    action

      he  attempts  to plead.  Even  if any of  Kimberlin's  claims survived the

      M ot i on

      to

    Dismiss  stage (though they clearly should not),

      Kimber l in does

     not and cannot advance

      those

    claims against  ManTech or HB Gary, Inc. (the parties to the conveyance).  Kimber l in  plainly

    is not and was not a creditor or either the buyer or seller to the asset purchase.

    The

      Maryland

      Uniform  Fraudulent Conveyances Act  ( M U F C A )  provides a  claim

    only

      for creditors. M d . Code, CommT.  Law Art . ,  §§ 15-209, 15-210. A creditor is a

    person who has any  claim,  whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated,

    absolute,  fixed,  or contingent. M d. Code,

     CommT.

      Law

     Art . ,

      § 15-201(d).

      Kimber l in

      has

      Kimber l in

      Has Not  Alleged  Anv Constructive Fraud  Claim  Under

      M U F C A

    Because He Does Not

      Allege  that  ManTech's

      Asset Purchase Was Without

    Fair Consideration.

    M U F C A

      provides constructive and actual fraud fraudulent conveyance claims.

      Each

    of

      M U F C A ' s

      four constructive fraud claims requires  that the conveyance is made without. .

    . fair

     consideration.

    M d .

      Code, CommT.

      Law Art.,

      §§ 15-204, 15-205, 15-206, 15-208.

    Kimber l in  does not allege anywhere in his Complaint that the  asset sale to  ManTech

    di d

      not provide for the payment of

      fair

      consideration for the purchased  assets.  Because

    Kimber l in

     has

      failed

      to plead, much less plausibly plead, this essential element of a

      M U F C A

    constructive fraud

     claim,

     his Count II must be dismissed.

    Beyond

      the

      absence

      of any averment  that  the  asset  sale lacked

      fair

      consideration,

    Kimber l in

      has also completely

     failed

      to allege other elements of his

      M U F C A

      claim.  He has

    not alleged that H B Gary, Inc. (which is not a party to this case) was insolvent at the time of

    the sale or was rendered insolvent by the sale. M d. Code,

     CommT.

     Law

     Art.,

      § 15-204. He

    has not alleged that H B Gary,  Inc. was engaged in business  with unreasonably small capital,

    M d .

      Code, CommT.  La w

     Art.,

      § 15-205; in fact, Kimber l in  alleges the opposite by averring

    that  Defendant

      H B

      Gary/Federal shuttered its operations and was no longer engaging in any

    business. Complaint at  |  49. Nor has he alleged that H B Gary, Inc. intended or believed it

    would

      incur  debts  beyond its  ability  to pay after the closing of the  asset  sale. M d . Code,

    CommT.

      Law Art., § 15-206.

      Kimber l in

      has simply alleged none o f the elements of a

    M U F C A constructive fraud claim.

    C.  Kimberlin's

      Actual Fraud Allegations are Not Plausible and Lack the Required

    Particularity.

    Kimber l in

      also

      falls

      far short of pleading an actual fraud

      M U F C A

      claim.  See Md .

    Code,  CommT.  Law Art ., § 15-207. Although Kimberlin's  actual fraud claim  is subject to

  • 8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted

    11/57

    both the

      Twomblyllqbal

      plausibility

      standard and Fed. R. Ci v. Proc. 9(b)'s particularity

    requirement, it meets neither test and must be dismissed.

    The  sole averments in

      Kimberlin's

      Complaint regarding the H B

      Gary

      Defendants'

    asset

     sale are as

     follows:

    49.  Upon

      information and belief, in 2012, Defendant HB Gary/Federal

    shuttered its operations in order to

      limit

     its

      liability

     regarding the Team Themis

    activity.  It then intentionally

     sold

      its

     assets

      to Defendant Mantech to protect

    them

      from  liability.

      Defendant Mantech purchased

      these assets

      on or about

    Apr i l

      1, 2012,

      with  fu l l

      laiowledge

     that

     HB Gary/Federal had been

      involved

    with

      the

      illegal

      Team Themis activities and

      knowingly

      structured its purchase

    to

      l imi t

     its purchase to

     assets

     and to

     avoid liabilities

    66.

      Defendants H B Gary/Federal,

      Hoglund

      and Mantech conspired to and

    did

      fraudulently, knowingly and intentionally transfer

      assets

     belonging to HB

    Gary/Federal

      in order to

      shield

      them

      from

      legal process in this case, and

    created a sales agreement to

      specifically  limit l iabil i ty

      of Mantech for the

    i l legal

     conduct alleged above by

     H B

     Gary/Federal.

    67.

      Defendants

     H B  Gary/Federal

     were advised by letter in

     March 2011 that

    they was

      [sic]

     facing legal action

      with

      regard to the

      il legal

      conduct alleged

    above.

      Upon

      receiving that  letter, it

      [sic]

     initiated action to transfer

      assets

     to

    Defendant Mantech to keep them beyond the reach of

      Plaintiff,

      a future

    creditor,

     thereby causing him harm.

    Complaint

     at f f  49, 66-67. These averments  fal l far short of what is required for actual fraud.

    There is no allegation of any misrepresentation made or concealment engaged in by any

     ofthe

    H B  Gary

      Defendants.

      Kimber l in  fails

      to identify any misleading, deceptive, or false

    statement

     or action by any of the

      H B

      Gary

     Defendants in connection

     with

     the

     asset

     sale, much

    less the who, what, when, where, and how of the alleged fraud as Fed. R.  Civ . Proc. 9(b)

    requires.  Murphy,  589

     Fed.Appx.

     at 652 (internal quotation omitted).

    In

     fact, the

     judicially-noticeable

     evidence

     ofthe Form  10-Q

     quarterly report

      fi led with

    the  U . S .  Securities and Exchange  Commission  by

      ManTech

      (a publicly-traded corporation)

    - 7 -

  • 8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted

    12/57

    shortly after the  asset  sale demonstrates the exact opposite by plainly stating the terms of the

    transaction:

    O n

      Apr i l  2, 2012,  we completed the acquisition of certain

     assets

      of

      H B G ary ,

    Inc.

      (HBGary) .

      The acquisition was completed through an

      asset

      purchase

    agreement  (HBGary  Purchase Agreement) dated February 27, 2012, by and

    among a subsidiary of

     ManTech

     International

     Corporation,  H B G a r y ,

     Inc., and

    the shareholders of H B G ary .

    ManTech

     funded the

     acquisition with

      cash on hand. The

     preliminary

     purchase

    price  was $23.8

      mil l ion

      and may increase or decrease depending on the

    finalization

     o f the post-closing

     working

     capital adjustment.

    Form

      10-Q dated M ay 4, 2012, at pg.

      17,

      attached as

      Exhibit

      1.

      This

     was not a transaction

    that  took place in the shadows through fraud or deceit; it was a transaction  that  was  ful ly

    disclosed

      to the government and the general

     public.

      Nor is

     there

     any allegation by

      Kimberl in

    that the H B

      Gary

     Defendants are related parties, that H B

      Gary,

     Inc. retained any interest i n the

    assets

     conveyed, and

     obviously there

     was

      significant

     consideration

     paid.  Kimber l in

     must do

    more than plead facts merely consistent

    with

      a fraudulent conveyance, Twombly,  550

      U.S.

    at 557, but

      fails

      to do so because nothing

     that

     he pleads in his

     Complaint plausibly

      suggests

    anything

     other than an arms-length transaction between

     commercial

     parties.

    The  fact  that  one purpose of the  asset  sale may have been to

      limit liability

      is

    insufficient

     to allege a fraudulent conveyance. In

     Christian  v. Minn. Mining  Mfg.  Co.,

     126

    F.Supp.2d

      951 (D. M d . 2001), this Court rejected a claim

      that

      3 M engaged in a fraudulent

    conveyance when it

     sold

      its

     silicone

      implant

     division

     even though 3M

      acloiowledge[d] that

    the fear of future lawsuits factored into its decision to divest.

    Id.

      at 961. The Court in

    Christian

      also notably ruled

      that

      the presence in the

      asset

      purchase agreement of an

    indemnification clause  limiting  the buyer's post-sale

      liabil i ty

     did not give rise to a fraudulent

    - 8 -

  • 8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted

    13/57

    conveyance.  Id.  Christian  makes clear  that  a motivation to avoid future  liabil i ty  does  not

    give rise to a fraudulent conveyance.

    Kimberlin's  allegation  that  the H B Gary Defendants entered into the  asset  sale to

    protect HB Gary,  Inc.'s  assets from liabil i ty  is nonsensical and implausible. Complaint at f f

    49,

     66. An y rights that

      Kimber l in

     may have

      would

     not be enforced by an in rem proceeding

    directly  against H B  Gary,  Inc.'s  assets,  but  would  instead be enforced by obtaining an  in

    personam  money judgment against H B

     Gary,

      Inc. itself.  Kimberlin's  averment  that the HB

    Gary

      Defendants

      sold

    the  assets,  Complaint at f 49, is

      telling.

      A sale is merely the

    exchange of one set of

     assets

     for a different type of

     asset,

     money. Because

      Kimber l in  does

    not, and cannot, allege facts demonstrating  that  the  asset  sale was for less than

      fair

    consideration,  Kimber l in  cannot plausibly allege  that  the  asset  sale was a fraudulent

    conveyance that hindered

      Kimber l in

     or any other creditor or potential creditor in any way.

    Nor  does  the fact  that  ManTech  allegedly took actions to  limit  its  liabil i ty,  see

    Complaint  at ff 49, 66, give rise to a fraudulent conveyance. The general rule under

    Maryland  law is that ManTech  as the acquirer of another corporation's  assets does  not also

    acquire the predecessor's  debts  and  liabilities.  Academy  of  IRM  v.  LVI Environmental

    Services,  Inc.,  344 Md. 434, 451, 687 A.2 d 669, 677 (1997).

      Kimber l in  would

      have this

    Court  turn the general rule on its head by  ruling  that  a fraudulent conveyance necessarily

    occurs when a successor avails itself of the traditional rule that a purchaser of

     assets does

     not

    also purchase  liabilities.  In the  absence of plausible and particularized allegations of fraud,

    this is not the law of Maryland.  Id.

    Kimber l in

      does  not allege any misrepresentation or concealment and  does not allege

    well-pleaded facts from

     which

      the Court

      could  f i nd

      a fraudulent conveyance.

      Kimberlin's

    - 9 -

  • 8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted

    14/57

    averments amount to, at

      best,

      a  claim  that  the H B Gary Defendants exchanged one set of

    assets

      (those

      formerly used in HB  Gary,  Inc.'s business) for a more  liquid  asset  of cash.

    Again ,

     there is no allegation that

     H B  Gary,

     Inc. did not receive

     fair

     consideration for the sale

    of  its  assets.

    6

      This did not hinder creditors; i f anything it made H B  Gary,  Inc. more

    susceptible to collection efforts by replacing potentially  i l l iquid  business

      assets

      with  cash.

    Because

      Kimber l in  fails

      to allege, much less allege

      with

     particularity, any actual fraudulent

    representation or concealment and  fails  to plausibly aver  that  the  asset  sale hindered any

    creditor,

     Kimber l in

     has not

     stated

     a

     M U F C A

      actual fraud claim.

    D.

      Hoglund

     is Not a Proper Party to

     Kimberlin's

     Fraudulent Conveyance

      Claim.

    Even

      i f

     Kimberlin's

      allegations

      stated

     a plausible fraudulent conveyance  claim

      with

    respect to the  asset sale, which they do not, Hoglund in his  individual capacity is not a proper

    party to that claim.

    The only allegation pertinent to Count II regarding Hoglund is that Hoglund conspired

    in

      the

      asset

     sale. Complaint at

     

    66. First, Hoglund cannot conspire

      with

      H B

     Gary,

      Inc., as

    Maryland  law is well-settled that an employee cannot conspire with his employer.  Marmott

    v.  Md. Lumber  Co., 807 F.2d 1180, 1184 (4th

      Cir.

      1986).

    Further,  Kimber l in  does  not  claim  that  any of

      Hoglund's

      personal  assets  were

    transferred or that Hoglund received any of the

     assets

     that were

     sold.

      Accordingly, there is no

    relief  that  can be obtained against Hoglund on the fraudulent conveyance  claim.  M U F C A

    permits the Court to have the conveyance set aside or  levy  on or garnish the property

    conveyed as

      i f

     the conveyance was not made.

    M d .

      Code,

     CommT.

     Law

     Art.,

      § 15-209(a)(l)-

    (2). It also permits the Court to restrain the defendant fro m disposing of his property and

    6

      Exhibit  1 reflects a substantial preliminary sales price.

    -

      10-

  • 8/20/2019 ECF 57 Redacted

    15/57

      appoint a receiver to take charge of the property. M d . Code,

      CommT.

      Law Art., § 1 5 -

    210(b)(l)-(2).

      None of those forms of relief are applicable to

     Hoglund

     because Kimber l in has

    not alleged that any of Hoglund's property has been conveyed or that Hoglund received any

    of  H B  Gary, Inc.'s property.

    Nor  can  Kimber l in  seek  damages  from Hoglund for conspiracy (if one was even

    possible) relating to any fraudulent conveyance

     because

     Kimberlin's claims against any ofthe

    H B  Gary Defendants have not matured through the entry of a judgment in his favor.  Van

    Royen  v.  Lacey,  262 Md . 94, 99, 277 A.2 d 13, 15 (1971) ( [A] general creditor, without a

    l ien,

     has no legal right or interest in the debtor's property and cannot be legally injured by any

    action

     by way of conspiracy on the part of the debtor and others to dispose of his property in

    order to evade payment of his general obligations. ).

      Kimberlin's

      status  as a an  alleged

    potential  creditor  lacking  a judgment  lien  is not, . . ., sufficient to maintain a suit for

    conspiracy to defraud. Id. at 17.

    7

      As set forth earlier,  Kimber l in  has no  val id  claims against any of the H B Gary Defendants

    and is not even a potential creditor.

    V .  Conclusion.

    For

     the

      reasons

     set forth above, and in the Incorporated

      Motions,

      each and every

     cause

    of  action alleged by

      Kimber l in

      against  the HB

      Gary

      Defendants should be dismissed for

    failure

     to  state a plausible

      claim

      on

      which relief

      may be granted and failure to plead fraud

    with

      particularity.

    UNAUDITED

    1.

      Introduction

     and Overview

    ManTech International Corporation (depending on the circumstances, ManTech Company we our ours or us ) is a

    leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical national security programs for the intelligence

    community; the Departments of Defense,

     State,

     Homeland Security, Energy and Justice,

      including

     the Federal Bureau of Investigation

    (FBI); the  space community; and other  U.S.  federal government customers. Our services include the following solution sets that are

    aligned

      with the long-term  needs  of our national security clients: command, control, communications, computers, intelligence,

    surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) lifecycle support; cyber security; global logistics support; intelligence/counter-intelligence

    support; information technology (IT) modernization and sustainment; systems engineering;  test  and evaluation; and health IT. We

    support major national missions, such as military readiness, terrorist threat detection, information security and border protection. Our

    employees

     operate primarily  in

     the United

     States,

     as wel l as

      in

      numerous locations internationally.

    2.  Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial

     statements

      have been prepared  pursuant  to the rules and

    regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Certain information and note  disclosures normally included in the

    annual financial

     statements,

     prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United

     States

     o f

     America,

    have been condensed or omitted  pursuant to

      those

      rules and regulations. We recommend  that you read  these unaudited condensed

    consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related

     notes

     included in our

    Annual  Report on Form

      10-K

      for the

      fiscal

      year ended December 31, 2011, previously  filed  with the SE C. We believe  that the

    unaudited condensed consolidated financial

     statements

     in this Form 10-Q reflect all adjustments that are necessary to  fairly present

    the financial

     position,

      results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods  presented.  The results o f operations for such

    interim

     periods are not necessarily indicative

     of

     the results that can be expected for the fiill year.

    3.  Acquisitions

    Our

      acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under the Accounting Standards

    Codification

     (ASC)

      805, Business Combination.

    Evolvent Technologies Inc.-On January 6, 2012, we completed the acquisition

     of Evolvent

     Technologies, Inc. (Evolvent). The

    results of

     Evolvent's

      operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since that date. The acquisition was

    completed through an equity purchase  agreement dated January 6, 2012, by and among ManTech, shareholders and warrantholders of

    Evolvent, and its

     parent,

     and Prudent Management,

      L L C

     in its capacity as the sellers' representative.

    Evolvent provides services in clinical  IT, clinical business intelligence, imaging cyber security, behavioral health, tele-health,

    software development and systems integration. Its systems and processes enable

     better

     decision-making at the point of care and full

    integration

     of

     medical information across different platforms. At January 6, 2012, Evolvent had 189 employees.

    This

     acquisition

     wi l l

      enable ManTech to expand its customer relationships and deliver IT solutions through Evolvent's existing

    relationships with the Department of Defense health organizations, the Veterans Administration and the Department of Health and

    Human Services.

    ManTech  funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The preliminary purchase price was $39.0  million  and may increase or

    decrease depending on the finalization o f post-closing working capital adjustments. The equity purchase  agreement did not contain

    provisions for contingent consideration. Pursuant to the equity purchase  agreement, $8.0 million was placed into an escrow account to

    satisfy potential  indemnification

     liabilities

      of

     Evolvent.

     The escrow period

     wi l l

      expire 36 months after the purchase closing

     date.

     At

    March 31,

     2012, the balance  in the escrow account was $8.0 million.

    During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $0.2 million of

     acquisition

     costs. These costs are included

    in

     general and administrative expense in our income statement.

    The preliminary purchase price of $39.0 million was allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities based on their fair value at

    the date of acquisition. The

     following

     information

     represents

     the preliminary purchase price allocation, as we are  still  in the process

    of

     reviewing the

     working

     capital accounts at the date of acquisition for potential

      adjustments

     to the purchase price . Total

     assets

     were

    In

     allocating the preliminary purchase price, we consider among other factors, analyses of

     historical

     performance and

     estimates

    of

      future perfonnance of Evolvent's contracts. The components of other intangible

      assets

      associated  with  the acquisition were

    customer relationships and backlog valued at $3.4  million  and $0.3  million,  respectively. Customer contracts and related

    relationships

      represent

     the underlying relationships and

    Worldwide Information Network Systems Inc.-On

      November 15, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Worldwide

    Information Network Systems, Inc.

      (WINS).

      The results of  WENS'  operations have been included in our consolidated  financial

    statements since

     that date.

     The acquisition was completed through a stock purchase

      agreement

     dated October 26, 2011, by and among

    a

      subsidiary

     of ManTech

     International  Corporation,

     WINS

     and its sole shareholder.

    WENS  is a provider of IT solutions

      with

      network engineering and cyber security technical expertise to the Department of

    Defense, Department of

     State

     and other agencies.

      WINS'

     largest customer is the Defense Intelligence

     Agency

     (DIA)

      through its prime

    position

     on the Solutions for the Information Technologies Enterprise

     (SITE)

     Indefinite

     Delivery/Indefinite

     Quantity contract

     vehicle.

    At November

     15, 2011,

     WINS

     had 199 employees

      of

     which

     96% held security clearances.

    This  acquisition,

      consistent

      with

      our long-term strategy,

      wi l l

      allow

      us to broaden our footprint in the high-end defense and

    intelligence

     markets. The addition of

     WINS'

     IT

     capabilities,

     and its prime position on the

     D IA

      SITE

     and other contracts

      wi l l enhance

    our positioning with important customers and further our growth prospects.

    ManTech

     funded

     the acquisition with cash on hand. The purchase price was $90.4 million. The stock purchase

      agreement

     did not

    contain

     provisions for contingent consideration. Pursuant to the stock purchase

      agreement,

     $9.0

      million

     was placed into an escrow

    account to satisfy potential

     indemnification liabilities

     of

     WESTS.

     The escrow period

     wi l l

      expire

      18

     months after the purchase closing

    date.

     A t

     March

     31,

     2012, the balance

      in

     the escrow

     account

     was $9.0

      million.

    During

     the three months ended

     March

     31, 2012, the Company incurred $0.1 million

     o f

     acquisition costs. These costs are included

    in

     general and administrative expense

      in

     our income statement.

    The purchase price of $90.4 million was allocated to the underlying

     assets

     and  liabilities based on their

     fair

     value at the

     date

     of

    acquisition. Total

     assets

     were $100.5 million,

     including goodwill

     and intangible

     assets

     recognized in connection

     with

     the acquisition,

    and total

      liabilities

      were $10.1

      million.

      Included in total

      assets

      were $18.7

      million

      in acquisition related intangible

      assets.

     We

    recorded

      goodwill

     of $62.5

     million, which

      wi l l

      be deductible for tax puiposes over

      15

     years, assuming

     adequate

     levels o f taxable

    income.

     Recognition of

     goodwill

     is largely attributed to the highly

     skilled

      employees and the value paid for companies supporting

    high-end defense, intelligence and homeland security markets.

    In  allocating the purchase price, we consider among other factors, analyses of

     historical

      performance and estimates of future

    performance of  WENS'  contracts. The components o f other intangible

      assets

      associated  with  the acquisition were customer

    relationships and backlog valued at $18.0

      million

      and $0.7

      million,

      respectively. Customer contracts and related relationships

    represent

      the underlying relationships and

      agreements

      with  WENS'

      existing customers. Customer relationships and backlog are

    amortized

     over their estimated useful lives of

     20

      years and 1 year, respectively, using the pattern of benefits method. The weighted-

    average amortization period for the intangible

     assets

     is 19.3 years.

    TranTech Inc.

    -On

      February 11, 2011, we completed the acquisition of

     TranTech,

      Inc. (TranTech). The results of TranTech's

    operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since that

     date.

     The acquisition was completed through a stock

    TranTech provides information technology, network and cyber security services to the federal government. AtFebruary

     11,

     2011,

    TranTech had 57 employees.

    The acquisition allows us to continue extending our presence in the defense, security and intelligence communities, and to offer

    comprehensive solutions through a prime

     position

     on the Defense Information Systems

     Agency

     E N C O R E

    During the three months ended

     March

     31, 2011, the Company incurred $0.3 million

     o f

      acquisition costs. These costs are included

    in

     general and administrative expense in our income statement.

    ManTech funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The purchase price o f

     $21.5

      million was allocated to the underlying

     i n

     total

     assets

     were $5.0 million

    in

      acquisition related intangible

     wi l l

     be deductible for tax purposes over 15

      Earnings

     Per

    Under

     A S C

      260, Earnings

      per

      Share,  the two-class method is an

     earMngs

     allocation formula that determines earnings per

     share

    for each class o f common stock according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earMngs.

    Under that method, basic and diluted earMngs per share data are presented for each class

      of

     common stock.

    In

     applying the two-class method, we determined  that undistributed earMngs should be allocated equally on a per  share  basis

    between Class A and Class B common stock. Under the Company's Certificate  of Incorporation, the holders  of the common stock are

    entitled to participate ratably, on a share-for-share basis as

      if

      al l shares of common stock were  of a single class, in such dividends as

    may be declared by the Board  of Directors. During the firs t

     quarter

     of 2012, we declared and paid a dividend of $0.21 per

      share

     on

    both classes  of common stock.

    Basic  earnings per

      share

     has been computed by

     dividing

     net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average

    number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the

    period are weighted for the portion

     of

     the period in wMch the shares were outstanding.  Diluted earMngs per

     share

     has been computed

    in

     a manner consistent

      with

     that

     of basic earMngs per
