that the Registrant was required to file such reports been filed? If

(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 registrant anticipates that during the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2004, gross revenue increased approximately 80% and
22% and total operating expenses increased 87% and 50%, respectively
compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. It is
expected that income from operations will have increased approximately
58% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the
comparable period 2003, but decreased approximately 93%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2003. The registrant expects to realize net income of
approximately $986,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2004 and
a net loss of $913,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004,
compared to net income of $ 748,000 and $739,000 during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. The Company
anticipates a net income of approximately $0.03 per common share for
the three months ended September 30, 2004 and a net loss of
approximately $0.03 per common share for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004, compared to net income of $0.02 and $0.02 per
common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003.
The increase in revenue and increase in income from operations during
the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared to the corresponding
prior year period is due to the inclusion of geophysical services
revenue from the Company's TatArka subsidiary that was acquired during
May of 2004. Vessel revenue decreased 23% and 32% during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the same periods of
2003. The decrease is due to the Company having two vessels unchartered
and not operating and a third vessel in dry dock for repairs for the
majority of the quarter ended September 30, 2004. While the vessels
were not generating revenue during the quarter, the Company continued
to incur expenses associated with the vessels.
