MIND Technology, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization, Liquidity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization—MIND Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in1987. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Seamap Pte Ltd, MIND Maritime Acoustics, LLC, Seamap (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and Seamap (UK) Ltd, collectively “Seamap”, designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of proprietary products for the oceanographic, hydrographic and marine seismic industries with product sales and support facilities based in Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and the state of Texas. Prior to* August 21, 2023,the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Klein Marine Systems, Inc. (“Klein”), designed, manufactured and sold a broad range of proprietary products for the oceanographic, hydrographic, defense and maritime security industries from its facility in the state of New Hampshire. Effective August 21, 2023,the Company sold Klein and presented the financial results reported as discontinued operations (see Note2* – “Sale of a Subsidiary and Discontinued Operations” for additional details).

As of* January 31,2025, the Company had working capital of approximately $23.5 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.3 million, compared to working capital of approximately $18.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.3 million, as of January 31,*2024. The Company doesnot have a credit facility in place and depends on cash on hand and cash flows from operations to satisfy its liquidity needs. However, the Company believes it will have adequate liquidity to meet its future operating requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations, disciplined working capital management, potential financing secured by company owned real property, and potentially securing a credit facility or some other form of financing.

Revenue Recognition of Marine Product Sales—Revenues and cost of sales from the sale of marine products are recognized upon acceptance of terms and completion of our performance obligations, which is typically when delivery has occurred, or in the case of bill-and-hold arrangements, when control has been transferred.

Revenue Recognition of Repair Services and Equipment Upgrades—Revenue and cost of sales from the provision of repair services and equipment upgrades are recognized “over time” pursuant to the practical expedient under which revenue is recognized when invoiced.

Revenue Recognition of Service Agreements—In some cases the Company provides on-going support services pursuant to contracts that generally have a term of 12 months. The Company recognizes revenue from these contracts ratably over the term of the contract. The Company* mayalso provide support services on a time and material basis. Revenue from these arrangements is recognized as the services are provided. For certain new systems, the Company provides support services for up to12* months atno additional charge. Any amounts attributable to these support obligations are immaterial. Revenues from service contracts for fiscal2025 and2024 werenot material and as a result arenot presented separately in the financial statements.

Allowance for Credit Losses—Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The carrying amount of trade receivables and contracts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s estimate of the amounts that willnot be collected, based on the age of the receivable, payment history of the customer, general industry conditions, general financial condition of the customer and any financial or operational leverage the Company* mayhave in a particular situation. Amounts are written-off when collection is deemed unlikely. Past due amounts are determined based on contractual terms. The Company generally doesnot* charge interest on past due accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity ofthree months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or realizable value. The Company determines cost on the basis of Average or Standard Cost. An allowance for obsolescence is maintained to reduce the carrying value of any inventory items that* may*become obsolete. Inventories are periodically monitored to ensure that the allowance for obsolescence covers any obsolete items.

F-9

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the related estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of equipment range from three toseven years. Buildings are depreciated over 30 years and property improvements are amortized over 10 years or the shorter of their useful life. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the life of the respective leases.No salvage value is assigned to property and equipment. Significant improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Intangible Assets—Intangible assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed on the straight-line method (for customer relationships, the straight-line method isnot materially different from other methods that estimate run off of the underlying customer base) over the estimated life of the asset. Proprietary rights, developed technology and amortizable tradenames are amortized over a 10 to 15-year period. Customer relationships are amortized over aneight-year period. Patents are amortized over aneight toten-year period.

Impairment—The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value* may**not* be recoverable*.* In reviewing for impairment, the carrying value of such assets is compared to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If such cash flows arenot sufficient to support the asset’s recorded value, an impairment charge is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived asset to its estimated fair value. The determination of future cash flows as well as the estimated fair value of long-lived assets involves significant estimates on the part of management.

Product Warranties—Seamap provides its customers warranties against defects in materials and workmanship generally for a period ofthree months after delivery of the product. For fiscal2025 and2024, warranty expense was approximately $900,000 and $400,000, respectively.

Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method, whereby the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities which represent differences between the financial and income tax reporting basis of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between income and expenses reported for financial reporting and tax reporting. The Company has assessed, using all available positive and negative evidence, the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income.

The weight given to the potential effect of positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The preponderance of negative or positive evidence supports a conclusion regarding the need for a valuation allowance for some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset. The more significant types of evidence considered include the following:

•projected taxable income in future years;
•our history of taxable income within a particular jurisdiction;
•any history of deferred tax assets expiring prior to realization;
•whether the carry forward period is so brief that it would limit realization of tax benefits;
•other limitations on the utilization of tax benefits;
•future sales and operating cost projections that will produce more than enough taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset based on existing sales prices and cost structures;
•our earnings history exclusive of the loss that created the future deductible amount coupled with evidence indicating that the loss is an aberration rather than a continuing condition; and
•tax planning strategies that will create additional taxable income.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, butnot limited to, the allowance for credit losses, inventory obsolescence, lease liabilities, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the evaluation of uncertain tax positions, estimated depreciable lives of fixed assets and intangible assets, impairment of fixed assets and intangible assets, assessment of warranty reserve balances and the valuation of stock options. Future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. Accordingly, these accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

F-10

Substantial judgment is necessary in the determination of the appropriate levels for the Company’s inventory reserve because the Company must make assumptions about the future use and fit for purposefulness of certain inventory items. As a result, the Company’s inventory reserves could change in the future, and such change could be material to the financial statements taken as a whole. The Company must also make judgments with respect to quantitative analysis prepared in conjunction with impairment analysis related to intangible assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and contracts receivable and accounts payable.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued guidance on the definition of fair value, the framework for using fair value to measure assets hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include:

•Level 1: Defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
•Level 2: Defined as pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.
•Level 3: Defined as pricing inputs that are unobservable form objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The Company doesnot have any assets or liabilities that it measures at fair value on a recurring basis. the Company measures the fair values of intangibles and other long-lived assets on a non-recurring basis if required by impairment tests applicable to these assets. Based on the results of our qualitative reviews,no quantitative tests were applicable during fiscal years2025 and2024.

Leases—The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. The Company hasnot entered into any financing leases.

Operating lease right-of-use assets represent a right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease right-of-use liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and use an implicit rate when readily available. Since most of the Company’s leases donot provide an implicit rate the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. The rate will take into consideration the underlying asset’s economic environment, including the length of the lease term and currency that the lease is payable in. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Stock-Based Compensation—Stock-based compensation expense is recorded based on the grant date fair value of share-based awards. Restricted stock awards are valued at the closing price on the date of grant. Determining the grant date fair value for options requires management to make estimates regarding the variables used in the calculation of the grant date fair value. Those variables are the future volatility of our Common Stock price, the length of time an optionee will hold their options until exercising them (the “expected term”), and the number of options that will be forfeited before they are exercised (the “forfeiture rate”). We utilize various mathematical models in calculating the variables. Share-based compensation expense could be different if we used different models to calculate the variables. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards is amortized over the requisite service period of the award, which is the vesting period of the related awards.

Earnings Per Share—Net income (loss) per basic common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per diluted common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding Common Stock options having a dilutive effect using the treasury stock method, from unvested shares of restricted stock using the treasury stock method and from outstanding Common Stock warrants. For fiscal2025 and2024, the following table sets forth the number of potentially dilutive shares that* may*be issued pursuant to options, restricted stock and warrants outstanding used in the per share calculations.

2. Sale of a Subsidiary and Discontinued Operations

On* August 21, 2023,the Company sold Klein pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with General Oceans AS (“the Buyer"). In connection with the SPA, the Company granted the Buyer a license to its Spectral Ai software suite (“Spectral Ai”). The license is exclusive to the Buyer as it relates to side scan sonar. The Company and the Buyer also entered into a collaboration agreement for the further development of Spectral Ai and potentially other software projects. The foregoing transactions contemplated by the SPA are referred to as the “Sale of Klein”. The aggregate consideration to the Company consisted of a cash payment of $10.8 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $2.3 million. The SPA contained customary representation and warranties. On August 22, 2023,following the closing of the Sale of Klein, all outstanding amounts due and owed, including principal, interest, and other charges, under the Loan were repaid in full and the Loan was terminated, and all liens and security interests granted thereunder were released and terminated (see Note11* - "Notes Payable" for additional details). As a result of the sale, there areno assets or liabilities and the results of operations are reported as discontinued operations for the years ended* January 31,*2024.

The results of operations from discontinued operations for thetwelve months ended* January 31, 2025and2024*, consist of the following:

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

In* November 2023,the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic280*): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU2023-07"), to enhance the disclosures public entities provide regarding significant segment expenses so that investors can better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. ASU2023-07 is effective for our annual periods beginning* February 1, 2024and interim periods within fiscal years beginning February 1, 2025.The adoption of this standard only impacted our disclosures. See Note17*- "Segment Reporting" for additional details.

In* December 2023,the FASB issued ASU2023*-09, Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU2023-09”). ASU2023-09 seeks to improve transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The updated guidance is effective for the Company on* February 1, 2025.*The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on the disclosures to its consolidated financial statements.

In* November 2024,the FASB issued ASUNo.* 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic220-40) ("ASU2024-03"), to enhance the disclosures public entities provide regarding specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period so that investors can better understand an entity’s overall performance, including its cost structure, and assess potential future cash flows. ASU2024-03 is effective for our annual periods beginning* February 1, 2027and interim periods within fiscal years beginning February 1, 2028.*The Company is evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on the disclosures to its consolidated financial statements.

Performance Obligations

The revenue from products manufactured and sold by our Seamap business is generally recognized at a point in time, or when the customer takes possession of the product, based on the terms and conditions stipulated in our contracts with customers. However, from time to time our Seamap business provides repair and maintenance services, or performs upgrades, on customer-owned equipment in which case revenue is recognized over time. In addition, our Seamap business provides annual Software Maintenance Agreements (“SMA”) to customers who have an active license for software embedded in Seamap products. The revenue from SMA is recognized over time, with the total value of the SMA amortized in equal monthly amounts over the life of the contract. The duration of SMA contracts isone year or less. We donot have elements of variable consideration within these contracts.

As of* January 31, 2025and January 31, 2024,there wereno* significant outstanding liability balances for refunds or returns due to the nature of our contracts and the services and products we provide. Our warranties are limited to assurance warranties that are of a standard length and arenot considered to be material rights. For fiscal2025 and fiscal2024, we didnot recognize revenue from performance obligations satisfied in a prior periods.

F-13

Contract Balances

Prepayments and deferred revenue on SMAs have a significant impact our contract liabilities. Considering the products manufactured and sold by our Seamap business and the Company’s standard contract terms and conditions, we expect our contract assets and liabilities to turn over, on average, within athree tosix-month period. We donot have any long-term service contracts or related long-term contract assets or liabilities. Costs to obtain and fulfill contracts are considered immaterial and are expensed during the period when incurred. At* January 31, 2023,*our trade accounts receivable was approximately $3.2 million net of approximately $332,000 of allowance for credit losses.

Contract liabilities decreased by approximately $1.9 million during fiscal2025 due primarily to recognition of revenue during the year.

As of* January 31, 2025* and2024 contract assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

January 31, 2025January 31, 2024

11. Notes Payable

On* February 2, 2023,we entered into a $3.75 million Loan and Security Agreement (“the Loan”). The Company had 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 was the total interest due through maturity. These costs were recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of our debt and are amortized to interest expense straight-line over the term of the Loan. Approximately $601,000 of amortization of debt acquisition costs were recorded as interest expense for thetwelve* months ended* January**31,* 2024. On* August 22, 2023,in connection with the Sale of Klein, the Loan was repaid in full (see Note2*- "Sale of a Subsidiary and Discontinued Operations" for additional details).

12. Stockholders’** Equity**

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 of 9.00% 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”) upon the election of our Board of Directors. 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 a reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the Company's shares of common stock 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 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.

The Company has 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, of which 7,969,421 and 1,405,779 were issued as of* January 31, 2025and2024*, respectively.

The Company has determined that, due to the potential requirement for additional investment and working capital to achieve its objectives, the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of* January 31, 2025*, arenot deemed indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. 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* January 31, 2025*.

Included in deferred tax assets is approximately $581,000 related to stock-based compensation, including non-qualified stock options. Recent market prices for the Company’s Common Stock remain below the exercise price of a number of options outstanding as of* January 31, 2025*. Should the market price of the Company’s Common Stock remain below the exercise price of the options, these stock options will expire without exercise. In accordance with the provisions of ASC718-740-10, a valuation allowance hasnot been computed based on the decline in stock price.

The valuation allowances were determined based on management’s judgment as to the likelihood that the deferred tax assets wouldnot be realized. The judgment was based on an evaluation of available evidence, both positive and negative.

On* January 31, 2025*, the Company had tax credit carry forwards of approximately $334,000, which amounts can be carried forward through at least2027.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations—On* January 31, 2025* and* January 31, 2024,*the Company had approximately $4.7 million and $11.7 million in purchase orders outstanding, respectively.

16. Stock Option Plans

At* January 31, 2025*, the Company had stock-based compensation plans as described in more detail below. The total compensation expense related to stock-based awards granted under these plans during fiscal2025 and2024 was approximately $235,000 and $261,000, respectively. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs net of a forfeiture rate for only those awards expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on its historical experience regarding employee terminations and forfeitures.

The fair value of each option award is estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a preceding period commensurate with the expected term of the option. The expected term is based upon historical exercise patterns. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield wasnot considered in the option pricing formula since the Company doesnot pay dividends and hasnot paid any dividends since its incorporation. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during fiscal2025 was $4.24. There wereno options granted during fiscal2024. The assumptions for the periods indicated are noted in the following table.

Weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton fair value assumptions

Year Ended January 31,
Risk free interest rate3.54%-4.47%
Expected life (in years)5.52-6.87
Expected volatility66% -82%
Expected dividend yield0.00%

Cash flows resulting from tax benefits attributable to tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing out-flows and operating in-flows. The Company hadno excess tax benefits during fiscal2025 and2024.

The Company has share-based awards outstanding under the MIND Technology, Inc. Stock Awards Plan (“the Plan”). Stock options granted and outstanding under the Plan generally vest evenly over three years and have a 10-year contractual term. The exercise price of a stock option generally is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the option grant date. As of* January 31, 2025*, there were approximately 30,000 shares available for grant under the Plan. The Plan provides for awards of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and phantom stock. New shares are issued upon vesting for restricted stock and upon exercise for options.
