The registrant cannot file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period due to the continuing post-Merger consolidation of the operations and financial reporting of Legacy Dawson and Legacy TGC, as further described in Part IV below, including delays in connection with the compilation of the information for the preparation of the financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the Form 10-Q, which could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense.  The registrant is working diligently to complete the Form 10-Q and expects to file the Form 10-Q within the time period described in Item (b) of Part II of this form.

If answer is no, identify report(s).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

x Yes    o 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    o 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.

 

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 11, 2015, the registrant, which was formerly known as TGC Industries, Inc. (“Legacy TGC”), completed its previously announced strategic business combination with Dawson Operating Company, which was formerly known as Dawson Geophysical Company (“Legacy Dawson”), pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legacy TGC merged with and into Legacy Dawson, with Legacy Dawson continuing after the merger as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legacy TGC (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the former shareholders of Legacy Dawson received shares of Legacy TGC common stock representing approximately 66% of the outstanding common shares of the post-merger combined company, and Legacy TGC’s shareholders retained approximately 34% of the outstanding common shares of the post-merger combined company. In connection with the Merger, Legacy Dawson changed its name to “Dawson Operating Company” and Legacy TGC changed its name to “Dawson Geophysical Company.”

 

The Merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under which Legacy Dawson was considered the accounting acquirer of Legacy TGC. As such, the historical financial statements of Legacy Dawson will be treated as the historical financial statements of the combined company. The combined companies adopted a calendar fiscal year ending December 31. Accordingly, the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that will be presented in the Form 10-Q will reflect the operations of Legacy Dawson for the period January 1 through March 31, 2015 and the operations of Legacy TGC for the period February 12 through March 31, 2015. Such results will be compared to the quarterly results for Legacy Dawson for the period January 1 through March 31, 2014, which at the time was the second fiscal quarter of Legacy Dawson’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

 

Due to the foregoing, the registrant anticipates that there will be significant changes in the results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2015 included in the Form 10-Q from those for the corresponding period of the 2014 fiscal year resulting from the combination of the assets and results of operations of two previously separate companies, thus affecting the comparability of the 2014 and 2015 quarterly results.  The registrant will report a net loss for the March 2015 quarter.
