Current report
Based on this visibility and expected delivery schedules, we expect revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 to improve related to the third quarter of fiscal 2026. While our long-term outlook for our existing product lines is optimistic, the outlook for fiscal 2027 is less clear. We believe this uncertainty is due to recent delays in certain projects and temporary changes in capital allocations by ultimate end-users. We are currently pursuing a number of initiatives, including new products and significant project opportunities, which could have a positive impact on our future financial results, including those in fiscal 2027.
Current report
During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we raised approximately $10.8 million in new capital through the sale of common stock pursuant to the ATM program. The proceeds from sale of common stock significantly increased our liquidity and therefore our ability to take advantage of opportunities or address challenges that may arise.
Current report
Income tax expense for the three months ended October 31, 2025 includes approximately $178,000 of net discrete tax expense consisting primarily of $326,000 of tax expense resulting from return-to-provision and transfer pricing adjustments recorded by our Singapore entity, plus tax expense from other individually immaterial items, partially offset by $153,000 of tax benefit resulting from the release of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of our Malaysia entity.
Current report
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. For the nine months ended October 31, 2025, Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $10.8 million and relates to sales of common stock pursuant to the ATM program. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2024, was approximately $619,000 of transaction costs associated with the conversion of preferred stock to common stock.

Previous wording
Our financial performance has improved significantly in recent periods. Although we had a history of generating operating losses prior to fiscal 2024, we generated operating income in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2025 and year-to-date through the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This was due to increased demand within our primary markets and efforts to reduce costs and improve product margins.

Previous wording
During the six-month period ended July 31, 2025, our facility in Huntsville, Texas underwent an expansion to handle an expected increase in activity and, as a result, repair and production activities were suspended for most of the period. The expansion of the facility was completed at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026. We expect repair and production operation to recommence, with a corresponding increase in revenue from this facility.
Current wording
During the nine-month period ended October 31, 2025, our facility in Huntsville, Texas underwent an expansion to handle an expected increase in activity and, as a result, repair and production activities were suspended for several months during the period. The expansion of the facility was completed at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and repair and production operations recommenced in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. We therefore expect a corresponding increase in revenue from this facility.
Previous wording
As of July 31, 2025, our backlog of firm orders was approximately $12.8 million, compared to approximately $16.9 million as of January 31, 2025. However, we believe the receipt of specific additional orders totaling approximately $10.0 million is imminent. We believe a significant portion of our current backlog will be completed and shipped by the end of fiscal 2026. In addition to our backlog of firm orders, we have a significant pipeline of pending and potential orders, and we have recently identified new opportunities for later this fiscal year and subsequent periods. We believe our backlog of firm orders, pending and potential orders, and identified new opportunities provide good visibility for the balance of fiscal 2026 and into the next fiscal year. The level of backlog at a particular point in time may not necessarily be indicative of results in subsequent periods as the size and delivery period of individual orders can vary significantly.
Current wording
As of October 31, 2025, our backlog of firm orders was approximately $7.2 million, compared to approximately $16.9 million as of January 31, 2025. However, subsequent to October 31, 2025 we received additional orders totaling approximately $9.5 million. We believe a significant portion of our current backlog and the newly received orders will be completed and shipped by the end of fiscal 2026. In addition to our backlog of firm orders, we have a significant pipeline of pending and potential orders, and we have recently identified new opportunities for later this fiscal year and subsequent periods.

Our revenues tend to fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to delivery schedules and other factors. We currently expect revenue in fiscal 2026 to be consistent with the revenue reported in fiscal 2025. However, no assurances of such results can be made, and there are a number of risks which could cause results to be less than anticipated. Those risks include the following:

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, we generated operating income of approximately $2.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, compared to operating income of approximately $1.4 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024, respectively. A more detailed explanation of these variations follows.
Current wording

A more detailed explanation of these variations follows.
Previous wording
A significant portion of Seamap’s sales consist of large discrete orders, the timing of which is dictated by our customers. This timing generally relates to the availability of a vessel so that our products can be installed. Accordingly, sales can significantly vary from one period to another. During the six-month period ended July 31, 2025, approximately 32% of our revenues related to the sale of new systems with the remaining 68% related to “after-market” activity such as the sale of spare parts, repairs and services. The gross profit and gross profit margins for Seamap for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, were approximately $6.8 million and 50%, respectively, and $10.2 million and 47%, respectively. The gross profit and gross profit margins for Seamap for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, were approximately $4.8 million and 48%, and $9.0 million and 46%, respectively. The gross profit margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 increased from the prior year comparable period primarily due to revenue mix.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, were approximately $3.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively compared to approximately $2.8 million and $5.5 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses in the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, included certain expenses we consider to be non-recurring, including costs related to restructuring our Seamap operations in the United Kingdom, tax planning and analysis arising from the preferred stock conversion in fiscal 2025, and franchise tax expense impacted by the preferred stock conversion. Also contributing to the increase was higher stock-based compensation and employee compensation expense.
Current wording
General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, were approximately $3.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively compared to approximately $2.8 million and $8.3 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses in the comparable three-month periods is due primarily to higher stock-based compensation. The increase in the nine months ended October 31, 2025, as compared to the comparable prior year period relates primarily to increased stock-based compensation and employee compensation, plus certain expenses we consider to be non-recurring, including costs related to restructuring our Seamap operations in the United Kingdom, tax planning and analysis arising from the preferred stock conversion in fiscal 2025, and franchise tax expense impacted by the preferred stock conversion.
Previous wording
Research and development costs were approximately $311,000, and $691,000, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2025, compared to approximately $328,000, and $790,000, respectively for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2024. Costs in each of the periods are related primarily to development of our next generation towed streamer system.
Current wording
Research and development costs were approximately $506,000, and $1.2 million, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2025, compared to approximately $562,000, and $1.4 million, respectively for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2024. Costs in each of the periods are related primarily to development of our next generation towed streamer system and other new products.
Previous wording
Depreciation and amortization expense, which includes depreciation of equipment, furniture and fixtures and the amortization of intangible assets, decreased primarily attributable to assets becoming fully depreciated and amortized over the year. These costs were approximately $217,000 and $442,000, respectively in the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2025, and approximately $236,000 and $503,000, for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2024, respectively.

Previous wording
Other expense recognized for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, related primarily to foreign exchange losses. Other income recognized for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 related primarily to gains on the sale of certain ancillary equipment, scrap sales.

Previous wording
For the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, our income tax expense was approximately $670,000 and $964,000 respectively, on pre-tax income of approximately $2.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, our income tax expense was approximately $672,000 and $917,000, respectively, on pre-tax income of approximately $1.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. These amounts differed from the result expected when applying the U.S. statutory rate of 21% to our income before income taxes for the respective periods due primarily to the impact of income taxes accrued in certain foreign jurisdictions, primarily Singapore, which do not 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.
Current wording
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, our income tax expense was approximately $716,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, on pre-tax income of approximately $778,000 and $2.7 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, our income tax expense was approximately $396,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, on pre-tax income of approximately $1.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively. These amounts differed from the result expected when applying the U.S. statutory rate of 21% to our income before income taxes for the respective periods due primarily to the impact of income taxes accrued in certain foreign jurisdictions, primarily Singapore, which do not have net operating losses available to offset taxable income, and because we do not benefit tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions where we have valuation allowances recorded against our deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances have been provided against all deferred tax assets in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom.

Previous wording
In September 2025 we initiated an at-the-market “ATM” offering program whereby we may issue common stock from time to time for gross proceeds of up to $25.0 million. We believe this is a prudent preparatory step which will allow us to raise capital quickly and efficiently should the need arise, such as for an acquisition or other business expansion. Additionally, we could use this facility to raise capital in the event the price of our stock reflects a market value at which we believe adding capital, at or above that price, to be non-dilutive. To date, we have issued no stock pursuant to the ATM. Concurrently with establishing the ATM, our Board of Directors authorized the buyback of up to $4.0 million of our common stock. This action will allow us to move quickly and efficiently should we believe market conditions indicate that the purchase of our own common stock is the best use of our capital. We believe both of these steps are consistent with our stated objective of furthering stockholder value by whatever means feasible.

To date, we have issued approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM and generated net proceeds of approximately $10.8 million. Concurrently with establishing the ATM program, our Board of Directors authorized the buyback of up to $4.0 million of our common stock. This repurchase program will allow us to move quickly and efficiently should we believe market conditions indicate that the purchase of our own common stock is the best use of our capital. To date we have not repurchased any shares of common stock pursuant to our repurchase program.

As of July 31, 2025, we had deposits in foreign banks equal to approximately $3.7 million, all of which we believe could be distributed to the United States without adverse tax consequences. However, in certain cases, the transfer of these funds may result in withholding taxes payable to foreign taxing authorities. If withholding taxes should become payable, we believe the amount of tax withheld would be immaterial.
