             (a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this
                  form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
                  expense;

                                    PART III

                                    NARRATIVE

         State below in reasonable detail the reasons why form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

                  Breakaway Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
                  "Registrant"), did not timely file its Quarterly Report on
                  Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2001 (the
                  "Form 10-Q") because management of the Registrant has been
                  dedicating substantial efforts to financing, corporate
                  restructuring and operational activities.

                                     PART IV

                                OTHER INFORMATION

         (1)      Name and telephone number of persons to contact in regard to
                  this notification

                  Joanna Bolles       (978)             823-1644
                  -------------------------------------------------------------
                  (Name)              (Area Code)       (Telephone Number)

         (2)      Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or
                  15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of
                  the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12
                  months or for such shorter period that the Registrant was
                  required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is
                  no, identify report(s).

                                                       [ ]Yes    [x]No

         (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 statement to be
                  included in the subject report or portion thereof?

                                                        [x]Yes    [ ]No

         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.

                  During the second quarter 2001, Breakaway Solutions disclosed
                  additional restructuring plans, which will significantly
                  reduce costs. These restructuring plans include staff
                  reductions and closing and consolidation of facilities. This
                  is in addition to fourth quarter of 2000 asset impairment and
                  one time restructuring charges relating to intangibles from
                  acquisitions due to deterioration in market conditions and in
                  addition to staff reductions and closing and consolidation of
                  facilities in the first quarter if 2001. The company has also
                  incurred staff reductions in the third quarter of 2001. There
                  have been substantial changes in the Company's business
                  between the second quarter of 2000 and the second quarter of
                  2001. Additionally, the Company has not yet completed and
                  filed its 10 Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Due to
                  the above noted factors, the Company's 10 Q for the second
                  quarter 2001 is not complete. The Company anticipates that for
                  the second quarter of 2001 revenue will be significantly less
                  than the comparable prior period and the operating loss,
                  including restructuring charges, will be higher than the
                  comparable prior year period.
