The compilation, dissemination and review of the information required to be presented in the Form 10-KSB for the relevant period has imposed time constraints that have rendered the filing of the Form 10-KSB by its original prescribed due date impracticable without undue hardship and expense to the registrant. The registrant undertakes the responsibility to file such report no later than five days after its original prescribed due date.

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?

As previously disclosed, Blast Energy Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Eagle Domestic Drilling Operations LLC, filed voluntary petitions with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas - Houston Division under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in order that they may dispose of burdensome and uneconomical assets and reorganize their financial obligations and capital structure. More time is needed by the Company and its outside accounting firm to ensure that the impact of this action is correctly reflected in the Company’s financial statements and associated footnotes to the financial statements. Based upon a preliminary statement of operations, the Company is estimating a net loss of $8,700,000 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2006 compared to a net loss of $2,862,231 for the same period in 2005.
