On April 2, 2010, Force Protection, Inc. (Force Protection)

a contract modification under its contract M67854-07-D-5031 with the U.S.

Item 8.01. Other Events.
On April 5, 2010, Force Protection issued a press release
announcing the April 2, 2010 contract modification from the U.S. Marine
Corps System Command. A copy of the
press release issued on April 5, 2010 is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward looking
statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our
beliefs and expectations. These statements are based on beliefs and assumptions
of Force Protections management, and on information currently available to
management. These forward looking statements include, among other things: the
growth and demand for Force Protections products and services, including its
modernization, spares and sustainment business; the anticipated work completion
dates for Force Protections products and services; the anticipated long-term
demand for service, support and upgrade work to Force Protections fleet of
vehicles; Force Protections execution of its business strategy and strategic
transformation, including its opportunities to grow the business; and Force
Protections expected financial and operating results, including its revenues,
cash flow and gross margins for future periods. Forward-looking statements
speak only as of the date they are made, and Force Protection undertakes no
obligation to update any of them publicly in light of new information or future
events. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Examples of
these factors include, but are not limited to, the ability to effectively
manage the risks in Force Protections business; the ability to develop new
technologies and products and the acceptance of these technologies and
products; the ability to obtain new orders for its vehicles and products; and the
other risk factors and cautionary statements listed in Force Protections
periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
the risks set forth in Force Protections Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2009.
