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-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2016, total revenues will have decreased approximately 8% and 30%, respectively compared to the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year.  These decreases are primarily attributable to the Company realizing no geophysical services revenues during fiscal 2016.  During the three months ended March 31, 2016, vessel revenues are expected to be approximately 93% higher compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, and nearly 5% lower during the six months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the comparable 2015 period.  As noted, we have realized no geophysical service revenues during fiscal 2016, compared to geophysical services revenue of approximately $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively during the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2015.   Marine base revenue is expected to be approximately 36% lower in both the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2016.
 
The Company believes that total costs and operating expenses will have decreased approximately 38% and 35%, respectively, during the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2016.  The Company anticipates losses from operations of approximately $1.3 million and $2.2 million during the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2016, compared to losses from operations of approximately $3.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively, during the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2015.
 
The Company expects to realize a decrease in net other expenses of approximately 32% during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and an increase of approximately 233% during the six month ended March 31, 2016.  This increase is principally attributable to an increase in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $11.6 million due during the six months ended March 31, 2016, primarily resulting from the remeasurement of certain debt obligations of the Company’s subsidiaries following the decision of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan to switch the Kazakhstan tenge to a free-floating exchange rate and the resultant significant change in the Kazakhstan tenge/US dollar exchange rate.

As a result of the foregoing factors, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, the Company anticipates realizing net losses attributable to Caspian Services of approximately $3.0 million and $16.3 million, respectively, during the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2016, compared to approximately $6.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively during the same periods of 2015.
 
 
 

 
 
The Company expects comprehensive loss attributable to the Company to be approximately 44% lower and 28% higher, respectively during the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2016.
