PART III NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the
transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Michael Baker Corporation (the Company) is filing this Form 12b-25 because
additional time is needed for the Company to complete its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which was due on March 17, 2008. The
reason for the delay relates to managements identification of errors related to
improper revenue recognition on domestic onshore managed services projects in
the Companys Energy business segment.
As discussed in Part IV below and in the Companys Form 8-K dated February 22,
2008, the previously issued consolidated financial statements of the Company for
quarters ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007, should not be
relied upon because of errors in those financial statements. Such financial
statements will be restated.
The Company plans to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 as
soon as possible.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the
corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be
included in the subject report or portion thereof?
Yes
x No o
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.
The Company has determined that its Energy segment overstated contract revenue and unbilled
revenue balances on three onshore managed services clients for the first three quarters of 2007.
These non-cash errors will reduce the Companys consolidated earnings previously reported for the
quarters ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007. For the first nine months of
2007, the Company previously reported income before income taxes of $31.5 million, net income of
$18.0 million, and diluted earnings per share of $2.03. The Energy segments previously reported
income from operations before Corporate overhead allocations totaled $12.5 million for the first
nine months of 2007. At present, the Company believes that the accumulated pre-tax impact of the
revenue recognition errors may entirely, or slightly more than, offset the Energy segments
reported income from operations before Corporate overhead for the first nine months of 2007.
The Company is still evaluating whether a portion of these non-cash errors will impact its
previously issued audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. Accordingly,
our assessment of the impact, if any, on our 2006 financial statements has not yet been completed.
Management will also be assessing the effect of the necessary restatements on the Companys
internal controls over financial reporting. Management will not reach a final conclusion regarding
the restatements effects on internal controls over financial reporting until the completion of the
restatement process.
The estimated restatement amounts disclosed above remain preliminary, unaudited and subject to
adjustment, possibly by amounts that could be material individually or in the aggregate.
