(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)

BearingPoint, Inc. (the “Company”) will be unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 by March 16, 2006. As previously disclosed, the Company experienced significant delays in completing its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, and, in turn, has experienced significant delays in completing its consolidated condensed financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005. The Company filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 Form 10-K”) on January 31, 2006 that included restatements of prior period financial statements. The Company is filing concurrently Forms 10-Q/A to restate its financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004 and for the comparable periods in 2003. In addition, in order to complete its 2005 financial statements, the Company is performing significant substantive procedures to compensate for the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. For information about the Company’s material weaknesses, see Item 9A in the 2004 Form 10-K.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company will not be able to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, by March 16, 2006.

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

It is not possible to state at this time whether there will be a significant change in the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. As discussed in Part III above, a significant amount of work must be completed before the Company will be able to reasonably estimate and finalize its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2005, for the three months ended June 30, 2005, the three months ended September 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2005.
