Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 5, 2013 by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), effective September 1, 2013, Hansen, Barnett and Maxwell, P.C. (“HBM”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Caspian Services, Inc. (the “Company”).  

On September 12, 2013, the Company engaged Haynie & Company, P.C., (“Haynie”), as its independent registered public accounting firm.  The decision to engage Haynie was approved by the Company’s board of directors.  During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and during any subsequent interim period preceding the date of engagement, neither the Company, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Haynie regarding:

·

the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that would have been rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report was provided to the Company nor was oral advice rendered that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

·	any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.)
