If answer is no, identify report(s). |
| (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? |
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 fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014 total revenues will have decreased approximately 38% compared to the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013. The Company anticipates this decrease will be attributable to decreases in vessel, geophysical services and marine base revenues of approximately 10%, 76% and 7%, respectively.
The Company believes that total costs and operating expenses will have decreased approximately 19% during the first fiscal quarter 2015. This decrease is principally related to anticipated decreases in vessel costs of approximately 19%, geophysical service costs of approximately 45% and marine base service costs of approximately 7%. The Company also anticipates general and administrative will have decreased approximately 12%.
The Company expects to realize a loss from operations during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 of approximately $0.62 million compared to income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 of approximately $1.4 million. This change from income from operations to a loss from operations is largely attributable to the anticipated decrease in geophysical services revenue which outpaced decreases in total costs and operating expenses. The Company expects net other expenses will have increased approximately 21% during the first fiscal quarter 2015. This increase is principally the result of an anticipated increase in interest expense of approximately 12%.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company anticipates realizing a comprehensive loss attributable to Caspian Services of approximately $2.3 million compared to a comprehensive loss attributable to Caspian Services of $0.72 million, during the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
