Forward Looking StatementsForward Looking StatementsMaterials in this presentation may contain statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may appear in a number of slides in this presentation (together with any documents issued by Caspian Services Inc., and available through its website) and give our expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning or the negative thereof or other variations thereof in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated services, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations and projections set forth in this presentation. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and by their nature involve known and unknown internal and external risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied. The information contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or 10-Q, including information included under the section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” as well as other information included under the caption “Risk Factors” and/or our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, identifies important factors that could cause such results, performance or achievements not to be realized. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date such statements were made.

Rock Island ConstructionRock Island Construction

Unique Marine Services in North Caspian• Sea is shallow – 6 to 12 meters – and freezes solid in winter• Rock islands are built to protect piping from being crushed by winter ice• Kashagan field estimated to require 80M tons of rock

Marine Vessel ServicesMarine Vessel Services

Drivers for Growth:

•Just for Kashagan (sour)• Construction and Drilling: 80 additional vessels including barges • Increment requirements for Oman Pearls (sweet) and others

•Exploration and Development: Streamer vessel requirements for deeper waters

Competitive Advantages:

•Barriers to entry – Shortage of suitable vessels, timing, environmental standards.•Infrastructure assets controlled – Marine base•Strong reputation with western and local clients•Experienced management.

Risk Factors and BackupRisk Factors and Backup

Page 22: Providing Marine and Geophysical Services in the Booming Caspian Region

Risk FactorsRisk Factors

• Concentration of customers: 88% of 2009 revenue was attributable to two customers. CSI is dependent on the investment and development budgets of a few large multinational and domestic companies for the bulk of its revenue.

• Crude oil and natural gas prices are volatile: Oil and gas exploration and development budgets are strongly linked to the market price of oil and gas which historically have fluctuated widely.

• Access to capital and credit: The marine and geophysical services businesses are capital intensive. CSI’s liquidity and growth is dependent on the availability of equity capital, long-term debt and bank credit. At maturity, CSI is not expected to be able to repay its Convertible Notes in full from operational cash flow and will need to refinance a portion of the Convertible Notes.

• Political and tax risk: The country in which CSI operates could experience political change which could adversely impact the ability of CSI to operate or operate profitably.
