x Yes
¨ 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 statements 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.
 
The Company anticipates that during the three months ended March 31, 2014 total revenues will have decreased approximately 49% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.  This decrease is primarily attributable to an anticipated 62% decrease in geophysical services revenue.  The Company expects revenue during the six month period ended March 13, 2014 to be almost unchanged compared to the six month period ended March 31, 2013.
 
The Company believes that total costs and operating expenses will have decreased approximately 26% and 9%, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014.  This decrease is principally related to anticipated decreases in general and administrative expenses.
 
The Company expects to realize losses from operations for the quarter and the six months ended March 31, 2014 of approximately $2.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively compared to losses from operations of approximately $0.9 million and $3.2 million during the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in loss during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 is principally the result of the anticipated 49% decrease in revenue.  The anticipated decrease in loss during the six month period ended March 31, 2014 is largely related to the anticipated decrease in general and administrative expenses during the period.  The Company expects net other expenses will have increased approximately 361% and 291%, respectively during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014.  This increase in net other expense is primarily the result of significant increases in foreign currency transaction loss resulting from a 20% devaluation of the Kazakh Tenge in February 2014, coupled with increased other non-operating losses.
 
During the quarter and the six month period ended March 31, 2014 the Company anticipates realizing comprehensive losses attributable to Caspian Services of approximately $13.2 million and 13.9 million, respectively compared to comprehensive losses attributable to Caspian Services of approximately $1.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, during the quarter and the six month period ended March 31, 2013.
