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 and six month periods ended March 31, 2015 total revenues will have decreased approximately 42% and 39%, respectively compared to the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year.  This decrease is primarily attributable to lower geophysical services revenues throughout fiscal 2015 and reduced marine base services revenue as a result of the consolidation of MOBY during the 2015 fiscal year, resulting in the elimination of intercompany revenue.   Vessel revenues are expected to be approximately 106% higher during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and nearly flat during the six months ended March 31, 2015, while geophysical service revenues are expected to be approximately 65% lower during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and approximately 71% lower during the six months ended March 31, 2015.  Marine base revenue is expected to be approximately 48% and 36% lower, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015.
 
The Company believes that total costs and operating expenses will have decreased approximately 17% and 18%, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015.  The Company anticipates losses from operations of approximately $3.5 million and $4.1 million during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015 compared to losses from operations of $2.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014.
 
The Company expects to realize decreases in net other expenses of approximately 63% and 48%, respectively during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015.  This reduction in net other expense is largely the result of significant foreign currency transaction losses resulting from the devaluation of the Kazakh Tenge during February 2014.

As a result of the foregoing factors, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 the Company anticipates realizing net losses attributable to Caspian Services of approximately $6.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively, compared to $9.1 million and $9.8 million, respectively during the same periods of fiscal 2014.
 
 
 
 
 
Due to significant foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from the 20% devaluation of the Kazakh Tenge during February 2014, during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2015 we expect comprehensive loss attributable to the Company during the three and six month periods to be approximately 50% and 36% lower, respectively compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year.
