Amendment Description	MIND Technology, Inc.  (the “Company,” “MIND,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) to amend our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023 (“Original Filing”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 1, 2023. The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to include the information required by Part III of Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance upon General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information required by Part III of Form 10-K to be incorporated by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after the fiscal year-end covered by the Form 10-K. We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to include information required by Part III of Form 10-K because we may not file a definitive proxy statement containing such information within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year-end covered by the Original Filing. The reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference to portions of our definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Filing is hereby deleted.   In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), Part III and exhibits under Part IV, Item 15 of the Original Filing are hereby amended and restated in their entirety. This Amendment No. 1 does not amend, modify, or otherwise update any other information in the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing. In addition, this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the Original Filing date.   Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, this Amendment No. 1 also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements are included in this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.
