| x Yes | o 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 | o 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 months periods ended March 31, 2007 total revenues will have increased 6% and 44% respectively. These increases are primarily attributable to improving day rates and utilization and the increased size of our vessel fleet in 2007 and providing more geophysical services, particularly during the first fiscal quarter of 2007.
The Company believes that total operating expenses will have increased 39% and 55% respectively during the three and six months ended March 31, 2007. The increases in total operating expenses are primarily attributable to the expansions in personnel and equipment in our geophysical services segment and higher personnel and repair costs in our vessel operations segment.
The Company expects to realize a loss from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $3,460,000, compared to a loss from operations of $1,198,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Company anticipates income from operations of $161 and $1,355 during the six month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This increase in loss from operations during the three months and decrease in net income during the six months is largely attributable to increased operating expenses as discussed in the preceding paragraph.
During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2007, the Company anticipates realizing net income of $23,000 and $1,829,000, respectively, compared to net losses of $3,592,000 and $1,530, respectively during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006. This change from a net loss during the 2006 periods to net income from the 2007 periods results from the sale by the Company of its 50% interest in Bautino Development Company in March 2007 for $3,000,000.
