Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

     On February 6, 2008, BearingPoint, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its preliminary financial results for the year ended 2007 and providing 2008 guidance. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

     Net revenue is presented in the press release, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. In this regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

     The Company believes that it is useful to investors to be informed of net revenue because it represents the actual amount paid by our clients specifically for professional services. The most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with GAAP is gross revenue. Net revenue is derived by deleting the component of gross revenue that consists of other direct contracts expenses, which are costs that are directly attributable to client engagements. These costs include items such as computer hardware and software, travel expenses for professional personnel and costs associated with subcontractors. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation in the press release of the non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
