Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?  If answer is no, identify report(s).

¨ 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 total revenues will have decreased approximately 45% compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.  This decrease is attributable to decreases in vessel, geophysical services and marine base revenues of approximately 20%, 76% and 24%, respectively.
 
The Company believes that total costs and operating expenses will have decreased approximately 31% during the twelve months ended September 30, 2015.
 
The Company expects to realize a loss from operations for the year ended September 30, 2015 of approximately $6.7 million compared to loss from operations of approximately $3.7 million during the year ended September 30, 2014. This increase in loss from operations is largely attributable to the decreases in vessel and geophysical services revenues, which outpaced the decrease in total costs and operating expenses.

During fiscal 2015 the Company expects to realize net other expense of approximately $27.9 million compared to net other expense of approximately $15.4 million during fiscal 2014.  This increase in net other expense is largely attributable to an anticipated increase in foreign currency transaction loss of approximately $12.5 million as a result of a 44% devaluation in the Kazakh Tenge during August 2015.
 
During fiscal 2015 the Company anticipates realizing a net loss attributable to Caspian Services of approximately $28.0 million, compared to a net loss attributable to Caspian Services of $16.7 million, during fiscal 2014.  The Company anticipates realizing total comprehensive loss of approximately $25.5 million during fiscal 2015 compared to $23.3 million during fiscal 2014.
