10. Notes Payable
On* February 2, 2023,we entered into a $3.75 million Loan and Security Agreement (“the Loan”). The Company incurred approximately $814,000 of debt acquisition costs associated with the loan, including approximately $254,000 in origination and other transaction fees and approximately $484,000 of prepaid interest, which is the interest due through maturity. These costs were recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of our debt and amortized to interest expense straight-line over the term of the Loan. Approximately $169,000 and $536,000 of amortization of debt acquisition costs were recorded as interest expense for thethree* andnine months ended* October 31, 2023,respectively. On August 22, 2023,in connection with the Sale of Klein, the Loan was repaid in full (see Note2*- "Sale of Subsidiary" for additional details).
11. Income Taxes
For thethree- andnine-month periods ended* October 31, 2024*, the income tax expense from continuing operations was approximately$396,000 and$1.3 million, respectively, on pre-tax income from continuing operations of approximately $1.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively. For thethree andnine- month period ended* October 31, 2023,the income tax expense from continuing operations was approximately $112,000 and $590,000, respectively, on pre-tax losses from continuing operations of approximately $1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The variance between our actual provision and the expected provision when applying the U.S. statutory rate of21%* is due primarily to the impact of income taxes accrued in certain foreign jurisdictions, mainly Singapore, which donot have net operating losses available to offset taxable income, and because valuation allowances have been recorded against increases in our deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances have been provided against all deferred tax assets in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, including Malaysia and the United Kingdom.
The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns as well as separate returns for its foreign subsidiaries within their local jurisdictions. The Company's U.S. federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years ended* January 31, 2019through2024.* The Company’s tax returns* mayalso be subject to examination by state and local tax authorities for fiscal years ending January 31, 2017through2024.* The Company's Singapore income tax returns are subject to examination by the Singapore tax authorities for the fiscal years ended* January 31, 2017,through2024.* The Company’s tax returns in other foreign jurisdictions are generally subject to examination for the fiscal years ended* January 31, 2018through2024.*
The Company has determined that the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries arenot deemed to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States as of* October 31, 2024*. Furthermore, the Company has concluded that any deferred taxes with respect to the undistributed foreign earnings would be immaterial. Therefore, the Company hasnot recorded a deferred tax liability associated with the undistributed foreign earnings as of* October 31, 2024*.
For thethree- andnine-month periods ended* October 31, 2024and2023*, the Company didnot recognize any tax expense or benefit related to uncertain tax positions.
12. Earnings per Share
Net income per basic common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted stock. Net income per diluted common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options having a dilutive effect and from the assumed vesting of unvested shares of restricted stock. For thethree andnine months ended* October31,* 2024 and* October31,* 2023, dilutive potential common shares outstanding were immaterial and hadno effect on the calculation of earnings per share because shares were anti-dilutive. The total basic weighted average common shares outstanding for thethree andnine months ended* October31,* 2024, was approximately 5.5 million shares and 2.8 million shares, respectively. The total basic weighted average common shares outstanding for thethree andnine months ended* October31,* 2023, was approximately 1.4 million shares.
On* September 4, 2024,all outstanding shares of our9.00%* Series A Cumulative preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) were converted into common stock and retired. The Company issued approximately 6,600,000 shares of common stock in connection with the conversion (see Note14- "Equity and Stock Based Compensation" for additional details).
On* October 12, 2023,the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Charter (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect aone*-for-ten reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Outstanding shares in prior periods have been restated to reflect the impact of the Reverse Stock Split in calculating earnings per share (see Note14- "Equity and Stock Based Compensation" for additional details).
13. Related Party Transaction

(“Ladenburg”) provided advisor and arrangement services for the Loan (See Note10 - "Notes Payable" for additional details) and received $75,000 in fees for such services. Additionally, Ladenburg provided advisory services related to the Sale of Klein (see Note2-"Sale of Subsidiary" for additional details) and received $405,000 of fees for such services. The former Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-President of Ladenburg is the Non-Executive Chairman of the Company's board of directors (the "Board").

14. Equity and Stock-Based Compensation
At the virtual Special Meeting of Preferred Stockholders held on* August 29, 2024,our preferred stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of9.00%* Series A Cumulative preferred stock, to provide that each share of9.00% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”) shall be converted into 3.9 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “common stock”). On* September 4, 2024,all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock were converted into common stock and retired. The Company issued approximately 6,600,000 shares of common stock in connection with the conversion. Accordingly, the Companyno* longer has obligations regarding Preferred Stock dividends, including undeclared dividends from previous periods. The common stock issued was recorded at its market value at the date of issuance less transaction costs related to the conversion. The excess of the carrying value of the preferred stock over the market value of the common stock issued, which amounted to approximately $14.8 million, was credited directly to accumulated deficit and is reflected in the calculation of earnings per share attributable to common stockholders.
On* September 28, 2023,the Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio ofone*-for-ten. On* October 12, 2023,the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Charter (the "Charter Amendment") to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Charter Amendment became effective on October 13, 2023.*
As a result of the Charter Amendment and Reverse Stock Split, everyten shares of issued and outstanding common stock were combined intoone issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share. Proportionate adjustments were also made to any outstanding securities or rights convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of common stock. Fractional shares werenot issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share were entitled to receiveone full share of post-Reverse Stock Split common stock, in lieu of receiving such fractional shares. The Reverse Stock Split affected all stockholders uniformly and didnot alter any stockholder’s relative interest in the Company’s equity securities. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares of issued and outstanding common stock from approximately 13,788,738 shares to approximately 1,405,779 shares. Common stock and treasury stock shares have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split in all periods presented. In connection with the reverse stock split, the Company retired all treasury stock.
Total compensation expense recognized for stock-based awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan during thethree andnine-month periods ended* October31,* 2024 was approximately $47,000, and $141,000, respectively, and during thethree andnine-month periods ended* October31,* 2023, was approximately $106,000 and $264,000, respectively.
