NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Organization

MIND Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), formerly Mitcham Industries, Inc., a Texas corporation, was incorporated in 1987. Effective August 3, 2020 the Company effectuated a reincorporation to the state of Delaware. Concurrent with the reincorporation the name of the Company was changed to MIND Technology, Inc. and the number of shares of common stock and preferred stock authorized for issuance was increased. See Note 15 - “Corporate Restructuring”, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Seamap Pte Ltd, MIND Maritime Acoustics, LLC (formerly Seamap USA, LLC), Seamap (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and Seamap (UK) Ltd (collectively “Seamap”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Klein Marine Systems, Inc. (“Klein”), designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of proprietary products for the seismic, hydrographic and offshore industries with product sales and support facilities based in Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and the states of New Hampshire and Texas. Prior to July 31, 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Mitcham Canada, ULC (“MCL”), its wholly owned Hungarian subsidiary, Mitcham Europe Ltd. (“MEL”), and its branch operations in Colombia, provided full-service equipment leasing, sales and service to the seismic industry worldwide (the “Leasing Business”). Effective July 31, 2020, the Leasing Business has been classified as held for sale on the financial results reported as discontinued operations (see Note 3 – “Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” for additional details). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The lingering impacts of the global pandemic and emerging supply chain disruptions have created uncertainty in the global economy which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the Company has a history of operating losses and has had negative cash from operating activities. However, as of July 31, 2021, the Company has no funded debt or obligations containing financial covenants, working capital of approximately $16.1 million, including cash of approximately $2.1 million, backlog of firm orders of approximately $11.7 million, the ability, and plans, to reduce costs to maintain positive cash flow, additional equity available to raise further capital, and lease pool equipment being actively marketed for sale. Based on these factors, management expects the Company to continue to meet its obligations as they arise over the next twelve months.

2. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2021 for the Company has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 31, 2021, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statement of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The foregoing interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”).

We have reclassified certain amounts in prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. On the consolidated balance sheets, income taxes payable, not related to discontinued operations has been reclassified from “Current liabilities held for sale” to “Current income taxes payable.”

3. Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

On July 27, 2020, the Board determined to exit the Leasing Business, which comprises essentially all operations of the Equipment Leasing segment. As a result, the assets, excluding cash, and liabilities of the Leasing Business are considered held for sale and the operations of the business are reported as discontinued operations as of July 31, 2021 and for all comparative periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company originally anticipated selling the discontinued operations in multiple transactions, which may involve the sale of legal entities, assets, or a combination of both, within the twelve months ending July 31, 2021.

4. New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and by clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that annual period. The Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurement by removing, modifying and adding certain disclosures. This ASU is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that annual period. The Company adopted this guidance effective February 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The revenue from products manufactured and sold by our Seamap and Klein businesses 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. Our Seamap business also provides Software Maintenance Agreements (“SMA”) to customers who have an active license for software embedded in Seamap products. The revenue from SMA’s is recognized over time, with the total value of the SMA amortized in equal monthly amounts over the life of the contract, which is typically twelve months.

The following table presents revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by geography, based on shipping location of our customers:

Total unbilled revenue	$	106	$	85
Contract Liabilities:
Deferred revenue & customer deposits - current	$	399	$	691
Total deferred revenue & customer deposits	$	399	$	691

Considering the products manufactured and sold by our Seamap and Klein businesses and the Company’s standard contract terms and conditions, we expect our contract assets and liabilities to turn over, on average, within a period of three to nine months.

Pursuant to our accounting policies and procedures related to revenue from contracts with customers, sales and transaction-based taxes are excluded from revenue. Also, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally, we expense costs incurred to obtain contracts when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

7. Leases

The Company has certain non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office, production and warehouse space in Texas, Hungary, Singapore, Malaysia, Colombia, United Kingdom and Canada. We negotiated the termination of our Colombia lease obligation during the current period.

Lease expense for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 was approximately $291,000 and $600,000, respectively, and was recorded as a component of operating loss. Included in these costs was short-term lease expense of approximately $10,000 and $10,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021.

As of January 31, 2021, the Company has recorded impairment expense equal to 100% of the gross carrying amount of goodwill. As a result, no further review of goodwill is required. On January 31, 2021, the Company completed an annual review of amortizable intangible assets. Based on a review of qualitative factors it was determined it was more likely than not that the fair market value of intangible assets was greater than its carrying value. During the six months ended July 31, 2021, there have been no substantive indicators of impairment.

Aggregate amortization expense was $618,000 and $794,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of July 31, 2021, future estimated amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets was estimated to be (in thousands):

9. Notes Payable

On May 5, 2020, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Klein (collectively, the “Borrowers”), were granted loans (the “Loans”) from Bank of America, N.A. in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.6 million, pursuant to the Small Business Association's Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), a component of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act which was enacted on March 27, 2020.

The Loans, in the form of promissory notes (the “Notes”) dated May 1, 2020 issued by the Borrowers, were set to mature on May 1, 2022 and bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020. The Notes stipulated various restrictions customary with this type of transaction including representations, warranties, and covenants, in addition to events of default, breaches of representation and warranties or other provisions of the Notes. In the event of default, the Borrowers would have become obligated to repay all amounts outstanding under the Notes. The Borrowers were permitted to prepay the Notes at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

Under the terms of the PPP, funds from the Loans could only be used for payroll costs, rent, utilities and interest on other debt obligations incurred prior to February 15, 2020. In addition, certain amounts of the Loans could be forgiven if the funds were used to pay qualifying expenses.

In January 2021, the Loan granted to the Company in the amount of approximately $757,000 was forgiven resulting in other income of that amount. In February 2021, the Loan granted to Klein in the amount of approximately $850,000 was also forgiven, resulting in other income of that amount. As of July 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding balance under the Loans.

10. Income Taxes

For the six months ended July 31, 2021, the income tax expense from continuing operations was approximately $52,000 on a pre-tax net loss from continuing operations of $6.4 million. For the six months ended July 31, 2020, the benefit for income taxes from continuing operations was approximately $188,000 on a pre-tax net loss from continuing operations of $8.5 million. The variance between our actual provision and the expected provision based on the U.S. statutory rate is due primarily to recording valuation allowances against the increase in our deferred tax assets in the respective periods, permanent differences between book income and taxable income, and the effect of foreign withholding taxes.

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

12

31, 2018 through 2021. The Company’s tax returns may also be subject to examination by state and local tax authorities for fiscal years ended January 31, 2016 through 2021. In addition, the Company's tax returns filed in foreign jurisdictions are generally subject to examination for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2016 through 2021.

The Company has determined that the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States as of July 31, 2021. Furthermore, the Company has concluded that any deferred taxes with respect to the undistributed foreign earnings would be immaterial. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability associated with the undistributed foreign earnings as of July 31, 2021.

For the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not recognize any tax expense or benefit related to uncertain tax positions.

11. 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.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares used in the earnings per share calculation:

	Three Months Ended July 31,		Six Months Ended July 31,
	2021	2020	2021	2020
	(in thousands)		(in thousands)
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	13,774	12,182	13,767	12,177
Stock options	79	3	58	1
Unvested restricted stock	29	10	18	5
Total weighted average common share equivalents	108	13	76	6
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	13,882	12,195	13,843	12,183

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, potentially dilutive common shares underlying stock options and unvested restricted stock were anti-dilutive and were therefore not considered in calculating diluted loss per share for those periods.

12. Related Party Transaction

On October 7, 2016, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (the “Agent”). On December 18, 2019, the Company and Agent entered into an Amended and Restated equity distribution agreement (the “1st Equity Distribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the 1st Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company may sell up to 500,000 shares of 9.00% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), through an at-the-market offering program (the “1st ATM Offering Program”) administered by the Agent. The Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-President of the Agent is the Non-Executive Chairman of our Board. Under the 1st Equity Distribution Agreement, the Agent was entitled to compensation of up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Preferred Stock under the 1st ATM Offering Program. As of January 31, 2020, we had issued 994,046 shares of Series A Preferred for which the Agent was entitled to compensation, including 100% of the Preferred Stock available for sale through the 1st Equity Distribution Agreement.

In September 2020 we entered into a new equity distribution agreement (the “2nd Equity Distribution Agreement”) with the Agent with economic terms essentially identical to the initial agreement. Pursuant to the 2nd Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company may sell up to 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock (“Common Stock”) through a new at-the-market offering program (the “2nd ATM Offering Program”).

During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, the Company sold 163,780 and 184,740 shares of Preferred Stock under the 2nd ATM Offering Program, respectively. Net proceeds from these sales for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, were approximately $4.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and the Agent received compensation of approximately $82,000 and 92,000,respectively. The Non-Executive Chairman of the Board received no portion of this compensation.

During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, the Company sold 362 and 18,415 shares of Common Stock under the 2nd ATM Offering Program, respectively. Net proceeds from these sales for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, were approximately $1,000 and $43,000. Compensation to the Agent during this period was approximately $1,000, none of which was received by the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board.

13. Equity and Stock-Based Compensation

During the three months ended July 31, 2021, the Board declared quarterly dividends of $0.5625 per share for our Preferred Stock. As of July 31, 2021, there are 1,223,000 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding with an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $30.6 million. Total compensation expense recognized for stock-based awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan during the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 was approximately $115,000 and $224,000, respectively, and during the three and six months ended July 31, 2020 was approximately $219,000 and $449,000, respectively.

14. Segment Reporting

With the designation of the Equipment Leasing segment as discontinued operations as of July 31, 2020, the Company operates in one segment, Marine Technology Products. As a result, no segment reporting is required. The Marine Technology Products business is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of state-of-the-art seismic and offshore telemetry systems. Manufacturing, support and sales facilities are maintained in the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia and the states of New Hampshire and Texas.

15. Corporate Restructuring

On August 3, 2020, the Company, formerly Mitcham Industries, Inc., completed the reincorporation from the State of Texas to the State of Delaware, including a name change to MIND Technology, Inc. The change in legal domicile and company name were approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of more than two-thirds of the votes of the Company’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting separately, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 27, 2020. As part of the reincorporation merger, the stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of capital stock from 21,000,000 shares to 42,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock (up from 20,000,000 shares), and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (up from 1,000,000 shares).

Pursuant to the terms of the reincorporation merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock and each share of Preferred Stock of Mitcham Industries, Inc., the Texas corporation, automatically converted into one share of Common Stock and one share of Series A Preferred Stock, respectively, of MIND Technology, Inc., the Delaware corporation. Stockholders who hold physical stock certificates are not required to, but may, exchange stock certificates as a result of the reincorporation. The Company’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock continued to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under their ticker symbols, “MIND” and “MINDP”, respectively. The Company’s Common Stock was assigned a new CUSIP number of 602566 101 and the Company’s Preferred Stock was assigned a new CUSIP number of 602566 200.

No changes were made to the Board, management, business or operations of the Company as a result of the reincorporation. The Company’s corporate headquarters remains in Texas.

16. Subsequent Event

Subsequent to July 31,2021, we completed an agreement for the sale of lease pool equipment reported as Assets Held for Sale (see Note 3 – “Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” for additional details) in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Under the terms of the agreement the Company will receive total proceeds of approximately $4.5 million, with approximately $2.5 million paid at closing and the balance of approximately $2.0 million paid before the end of fiscal 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

MIND Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, formerly Mitcham Industries, Inc., a Texas corporation, was incorporated in 1987. Effective August 3, 2020 we effectuated a reincorporation to the state of Delaware, name change to MIND Technology, Inc. and increase in the number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock authorized for issuance. See Note 15 - “Corporate Restructuring” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Historically, we have operated in two segments, Marine Technology Products and Equipment Leasing. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, our Board determined to exit the Leasing Business and instructed management to develop and implement a plan to dispose of those operations. Accordingly, the assets, excluding cash, and liabilities of the Leasing Business are considered held for sale and the Leasing Business operations are presented as discontinued operations. See Note 3 - “Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more details.

Revenue from the Marine Technology Products business includes sales of Seamap equipment and sales of Klein equipment. This business operates from locations near Bristol, United Kingdom, Salem, New Hampshire, Huntsville, Texas, Johor, Malaysia and in Singapore.

The discontinued operations of the Leasing business includes all leasing activity, sales of lease pool equipment and certain other equipment sales and services related to those operations. This business had been conducted from our locations in Huntsville, Texas; Calgary, Canada; Bogota, Colombia; and Budapest, Hungary. This included the operations of our subsidiaries Mitcham Canada, ULC, Mitcham Europe Ltd. and our branch in Colombia.

Management believes that the performance of our Marine Technology Products business is indicated by revenues from product sales and by gross profit from those sales. Management monitors EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both as defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), in the following table, as key indicators of our overall performance and liquidity.

EBITDA is defined as net income before (a) interest income and interest expense, (b) provision for (or benefit from) income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash foreign exchange gains and losses, stock-based compensation, impairment of intangible assets, other non-cash tax related items and non-cash costs of lease pool equipment sales. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important indicators for the performance of our business, but not measures of performance or

liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because management utilizes this information for assessing our performance and liquidity, and as indicators of our ability to make capital expenditures, service debt and finance working capital requirements and we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measurements that are commonly used by analysts and some investors in evaluating the performance and liquidity of companies such as us. In particular, we believe that it is useful to our analysts and investors to understand this relationship because it excludes transactions not related to our core cash operating activities. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities or as alternatives to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In evaluating our performance as measured by EBITDA, management recognizes and considers the limitations of this measurement. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our obligations for the payment of income taxes, interest expense or other obligations such as capital expenditures. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are only two of the measurements that management utilizes. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Within our Marine Technology Products business, we design, manufacture and sell a variety of products used primarily in oceanographic, hydrographic, defense, seismic and maritime security industries. Seamap’s primary products include (i) the GunLink seismic source acquisition and control systems, which provide marine operators more precise control of exploration tools; (ii) the BuoyLink RGPS tracking system used to provide precise positioning of seismic sources and streamers (marine recording channels that are towed behind a vessel) and (iii) SeaLink marine sensors and solid streamer systems (collectively, the “SeaLink” product line or “towed streamer products”). These towed streamer products are primarily designed for three-dimensional, high-resolution marine surveys in hydrographic industry applications. Klein designs, manufactures and sells side scan sonar and water-side security systems to commercial, governmental and military customers throughout the world.

Our discontinued operations consisted primarily of leasing seismic data acquisition equipment primarily to seismic data acquisition companies conducting land surveys worldwide. We provided short-term leasing, typically for a term of less than one year, of seismic equipment to meet a customer’s requirements. From time to time, we sold lease pool equipment. Those sales were transacted when we had equipment for which we did not have near term needs in our leasing business or which was otherwise considered excess. Additionally, when equipment that has been leased to a customer was lost or destroyed, the customer was charged for such equipment at amounts specified in the underlying lease agreement.

Our results of operations can experience fluctuations in activity levels due to a number of factors outside of our control. These factors include budgetary or financial concerns, difficulties in obtaining licenses or permits, security problems, labor or political issues, inclement weather, and other unforeseen circumstances such as the Pandemic. See Part II, Item 1A-- “Risk Factors.”

Business Outlook

The Pandemic has created significant uncertainty in the global economy, which we believe has had an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity. We believe the resulting uncertainty caused many customers to delay purchasing decisions. Furthermore, travel restrictions limited our ability to interact with customers and to demonstrate our products. Similar restrictions, we believe, caused delays in certain governmental evaluation programs involving our technology. Recently we have seen indications of improving activity and the relaxation of Pandemic related restrictions in some areas. However, the time frame for which disruptions related to the Pandemic will continue is uncertain, as is the magnitude of any adverse impacts. In fiscal 2021, we were required to temporarily shutdown our facilities in Malaysia and Singapore on March 17, 2020, and April 7, 2020, respectively. The Malaysia facility was reopened on April 21, 2020 with approximately 50% of its normal staff and resumed operations with 100% of its employees on May 4, 2020. In Singapore, we were able to continue limited shipping and receiving operations during the shutdown and were able to resume manufacturing operations on June 1, 2020. However, travel between our Singapore and Malaysia facilities is limited, which has made management and coordination more difficult. In addition, Singapore reimposed certain workplace restrictions in May 2021. While we are able to maintain full operation, we are required to rotate personnel and allow some personnel to work remotely.

Our other facilities have been allowed to operate, although at reduced efficiencies in some cases as certain employees have worked remotely from time to time. Furthermore, travel restrictions resulting from the Pandemic have impacted our ability to visit customers, conduct product demonstrations and visit our various operating locations. These disruptions have had, and we expect they will continue to have, a negative effect on our business; however, the duration and magnitude of these disruptions are uncertain. Management believes that the negative impact is subsiding, but there can be no assurance of that.

Recently, we have begun to experience difficulties in our global supply chain. Lead times for some components and materials have increased as have prices for some items. Additionally, some components and materials are not readily available and shipping times and costs have increased, particularly for ocean freight. We believe these issues will be temporary but there can be no assurance of that and these conditions could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

Additionally, oil prices declined sharply during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 in response to the economic effects of the Pandemic and the announcement of Saudi Arabia’s abandonment of output restraints. While oil prices have recovered significantly, continuing uncertainty could have an adverse effect on our customers in the energy industry, which could cause them to cancel or delay projects and orders with us or impair their ability to make payments to us. Many of our marine customers have recently indicated increases in backlog, which we believe is a positive indication of a recovery in fiscal 2022 and beyond. The general economic environment concerning the energy industry could also impact our ability to realize value from our discontinued operations.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 we began to experience an increase in orders and inquiries for marine exploration applications, particularly for our source controller products. Our GunLink seismic source controllers have certain capabilities that we believe are unique and that increasingly certain of these capabilities are required of operators of seismic exploration vessels. Based on this, and on discussions with current and potential customers, we believe demand for our GunLink source controllers will continue, although there can be no assurance of this. Furthermore, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we entered into an indefinite quantity, indefinite delivery supply agreement with a major international marine seismic contractor. We expect the arrangement to result in additional sales of our source controller products. Based on discussion with a particular customer, we expect to receive an order for a source controller and other related equipment related to a new build vessel. We continue to pursue a number of other opportunities and believe there is a general uptick in activity in this market.

In recent months, we have continued to experience significant inquiries and bid activity for our other marine technology products and have conducted a number of demonstrations for various customers, including the U.S. Navy. However, we believe many customers have delayed purchase commitments due to the uncertainty in the global economy. Accordingly, we have not experienced the number of firm orders that we would have normally expected from the current level of inquiries and bid activity. As of July 31, 2021, our backlog of firm orders for our Marine Technology Products business was approximately $11.7 million, as compared to approximately $14.1 million as of January 31, 2021 and $7.6 million at July 31, 2020. We expect essentially all of these orders to be completed within fiscal 2022 and therefore expect revenues from continuing operations in fiscal 2022 to exceed those backlog of fiscal 2021. 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.

Going forward we intend to address three primary markets in our Marine Technology Products business :

•Marine Survey

•Marine Exploration

•Maritime Defense

Specific applications within those markets include sea-floor survey, search and recovery, mineral and geophysical exploration, mine counter measures and anti-submarine warfare. We have existing technology and products that meet needs across all these markets such as:

•Side-scan sonar

•Bathymetry systems

•Acoustic arrays, such as SeaLink

•Marine seismic equipment, such as GunLink and BuoyLink

We see a number of opportunities to add to our technology and to apply existing technology and products to new applications.

Earlier this year, we introduced a product line of sonar systems, referred to as AUV-MakoTM specifically focused on the rapidly growing autonomous vehicle market. In addition, in fiscal 2021 we entered into an agreement with a major European defense contractor for the joint offering of synthetic aperture sonar (“SAS”). We believe that each of these initiatives can significantly expand our serviceable market. Also, during fiscal 2021, we began development of passive sonar arrays based on our SeaLink technology. We believe this technology is well suited for maritime security applications such as anti-submarine warfare, particularly in applications involving unmanned vessels.

Recently, we have noted an increase in inquiries and bids for our single-beam and multi-beam sonar systems. As a result, we expect improvement in this portion of our business in the second half of fiscal 2022 and beyond. However, there can be no assurance of any such improvement or the magnitude of such.

We are also pursuing a number of initiatives to further expand our product offerings. These initiatives include new internally developed technology, introduction of new products based on our existing technology, technology obtained through partnering arrangements with others and a combination of all of these. There can be no assurance that any of these initiatives will ultimately have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Certain of the business opportunities that we are pursuing are with military or other governmental organizations. The sales cycle for these projects can be quite long and can be impacted by a variety of factors, including the level of competition and budget limitations. Therefore, the timing of contract awards is often difficult to predict. However, once awarded, programs of this type can extend for many years. To date, the most of our revenues have been from commercial customers; however, we believe the proportion of revenue related to military or governmental customers will increase in the future.

We believe there are certain developments within the marine technology industry that can have a significant impact on our business. These developments include the following:

•The increase in the use of unmanned, or uncrewed, marine vessels, both surface vehicles and underwater vehicles, and the need for a variety of sensor packages designed for these applications.

•Demand for higher resolution sonar images, such as for mine countermeasure applications.

•Demand for economical, commercially developed, technology for anti-submarine warfare and maritime security applications.

18

In response to these, and other, developments we have initiated certain strategic initiatives in order to exploit the opportunities that we perceive. These initiatives include the following:

•Development of side-scan sonar and other sensor systems specifically for unmanned vehicles, including integration of our MA-X technology;

•Development of SAS sonar systems in cooperation with a major European defense contractor; and

•Application of our SeaLink solid streamer technology to passive sonar arrays for use in maritime security applications, such as anti-submarine warfare.

In fiscal 2021 we took steps to reduce expenses including the layoff or furloughing of certain employees and contractors and the deferral of other expenditures, in response to the effects of the Pandemic on the economic environment. Should the effects of the Pandemic continue through the second half of fiscal 2022 or beyond, we may take further steps to reduce costs. We believe the majority of our costs are variable in nature, such as raw materials and labor related costs. Accordingly, we believe we can reduce such costs commensurate with any declines in our business.

Our revenues and results of operations have not been materially impacted by inflation or changing prices in the past two fiscal years, except as described above.

Results of Continuing Operations

Revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2021 were approximately $6.8 million compared to approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2020. For the six months ended July 31, 2021, revenues were approximately $11.0 million, compared to approximately $8.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2020. We believe the increase in fiscal 2022 periods is due in large part to lifting of restrictions on commerce that were present in the prior period as a result of the Pandemic. For the three months ended July 31, 2021, we generated an operating loss of approximately $2.6 million, compared to an operating loss of approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2020. For the six months ended July 31, 2021, we generated an operating loss of approximately $7.4 million, compared to an operating loss of approximately $8.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2020. The operating loss during the three-month periods ended July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020 were relatively flat. The decrease in operating loss during the six-month period ended July 31, 2021 is primarily attributable to a non-recurring goodwill impairment charge related to our Seamap reporting unit in the prior year period. In addition, the current quarter operating loss was impacted by higher research and development and general and administrative costs. A more detailed explanation of these variations follows.

Revenues and Cost of Sales

Revenues and cost of sales for our Marine Technology Products business were as follows:

	Three Months Ended July 31,						Six Months Ended July 31,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
	(in thousands)						(in thousands)
Revenues:
Seamap	$	5,402		$	4,080		$	8,446		$	6,293
Klein	1,408			1,003			2,564			2,244
Intra-business sales	(3)			—			(9)			(242)
	6,807			5,083			11,001			8,295
Cost of sales:
Seamap	3,293			2,281			5,890			4,175
Klein	1,293			785			2,353			1,861
Intra-business sales	(3)			—			(9)			(242)
	4,583			3,066			8,234			5,794
Gross profit	$	2,224		$	2,017		$	2,767		$	2,501
Gross profit margin	33		%	40		%	25		%	30		%

A significant portion of Seamap’s sales consists of large discrete orders, the timing of which is dictated by our customers. This timing generally relates to the availability of a vessel in port so that our products can be installed. Accordingly, there can be significant variation in sales from one period to another, which does not necessarily indicate a fundamental change in demand for these products. We believe the increase in Seamap revenues is due in large part to lifting of commerce restrictions, previously caused by the Pandemic, including the temporary shutdown of our production facilities in the prior period. Revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 increased when compared to second quarter of fiscal 2021. We believe lingering effects of the Pandemic and the resulting impact on the global supply chain has impacted certain of our customers. In some cases, customers have delayed placing or accepting orders. We believe that delays in these customers receiving related products and materials from other supplier have contributed to these delays. Nonetheless, we did experience an increase in deliveries and associated revenues in this area as we executed certain orders previously received. Based on our remaining backlog and on-going order activity, we expect further improvement in the second half of fiscal 2022. The gross profit and gross profit margins generated by sales of Seamap products were approximately $2.1 million and 39% in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and approximately $1.8 million and 44% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in gross profit margins between the periods is due primarily to the mix of products and services sold in the respective periods.

Revenue from the sale of Klein products was approximately $1.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 versus approximately $1.0 million in the prior year period. Gross profit was approximately $115,000 and $218,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decline in gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was due mainly to lower absorption of overhead costs and higher product testing and sustaining engineering activity during the period.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2021, increased to approximately $3.3 million from approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended July 31, 2020. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2021 increased approximately $1.3 million to $7.2 million compared to $5.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2020. The increase in is primarily due to certain recurring general and administrative operating expenses, including but not limited to, property and casualty insurance premiums, facility maintenance expenses, communications costs, etc., reported in discontinued operations in the prior year comparative periods, but are being reported in continuing operations in the current fiscal year as we wind-down and dispose of our discontinued operations. Current period costs also reflect increases in compensation and benefits costs, travel and entertainment expense and professional fees. In addition, the prior year comparative periods included the benefit of governmental rent and payroll subsidies in several international locations that have been significantly reduced or eliminated in the current fiscal year.

Research and development costs remained relatively flat at approximately $888,000 in the three-month period ended July 31, 2021, as compared to approximately $755,000 in the three-month period ended July 31, 2020. Research and development costs increased to approximately $1.7 million in the six-month period ended July 31, 2021, as compared to approximately $1.2 million in the prior year period ended. The increase in these costs reflects activity in the strategic initiatives noted above, including our SAS system, passive sonar arrays and sensor packages specifically for unmanned systems.

Depreciation and amortization expense include depreciation of equipment, furniture and fixtures and the amortization of intangible assets. These costs were approximately $557,000 and $1.2 million in the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, respectively, as compared to approximately $700,000 and $1.4 million in the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2020, respectively. The lower depreciation and amortization expense in the three- and six-month periods of fiscal 2022 is due primarily to assets becoming fully depreciated over time.

20

During the six months ended July 31, 2021, it was determined that there were no substantive indicators of impairment. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, due to deterioration in macroeconomic factors and a decline in the market value of our equity securities subsequent to January 31, 2020, we concluded that goodwill associated with our Seamap business was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2.5 million.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the six months ended July 31, 2021, we reported tax expense of approximately $52,000 on pre-tax net loss of approximately $6.4 million from continuing operations, and for the six months ended July 31, 2020, we reported tax benefit of approximately $188,000 on pre-tax net loss of approximately $8.5 million from continuing operations. Our recorded tax expense and benefit in the six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively, are less than the benefit that would be derived by applying the applicable statutory rate to the net loss before tax from continuing operations in each of these periods, due mainly to the effect of permanent differences between book and taxable income, foreign withholding taxes, and recording valuation allowances against increases in our deferred tax assets.

Results of Discontinued Operations

Revenues and cost of sales from our Equipment Leasing business were comprised of the following:

	For the Three Months Ended July 31,		For the For the Six Months Ended July 31,
	2021	2020	2021	2020

Following the decision to exit the Leasing Business and present those operations as discontinued operations, we no longer recognize depreciation expense related to our lease pool of seismic equipment, but rather reassess, on a quarterly basis, the recoverability of the remaining carrying value of those assets. Similarly, we no longer recognize gain or loss from the sale of individual lease pool assets, but treat any proceeds from such transactions as a reduction in the carrying value of the lease pool.

Revenue from discontinued operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased to $757,000, compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The reduction in revenue is due to the curtailment of equipment leasing activity as a result of the decision to exit the Leasing Business and the change in treatment of lease pool sales as discussed above.

Direct costs related to Equipment Leasing dropped to approximately $332,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 from approximately $762,000 reported in the same period of fiscal 2021. For the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, lease pool depreciation decreased approximately $772,000 and $1.7 million from the three- and six month periods ended July 31, 2020, because we are no longer recording lease pool depreciation on discontinued operations.

Selling, general and administrative costs related to the Leasing Business decreased to approximately $720,000 in the six months ended July 31, 2021, from approximately $3.2 million in the same period one year ago. The reduction in selling, general and administrative expense is due to permanent headcount reductions, closing and downsizing facilities, and lower overall operating costs due to the significant decline in

21

activity. In addition, the current period general and administrative costs from discontinued operations excludes certain personnel, facility and overhead costs which are included in continuing operations for the six months ended July 31, 2021.

Our tax expense from discontinued operations for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, was approximately $3,000 and $4,000, respectively, on pre-tax net income of approximately $82,000 for the three-month period and a pre-tax net loss of approximately $200,000 for the six-month period. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2020, we reported tax expense of approximately $522,000 and $700,000, respectively, on pre-tax net loss from discontinued operations of approximately $4.2 million for both periods. We recorded tax expense in the six-month periods ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, despite generating a pre-tax net loss from discontinued operations, due mainly to the effect of foreign withholding taxes and recording valuation allowances against increases in our deferred tax assets.

Subsequent to July 31,2021, we completed an agreement for the sale of lease pool equipment reported as Assets Held for Sale (see Note 3 – “Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” for additional details) in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Under the terms of the agreement the Company will receive total proceeds of approximately $4.5 million, with approximately $2.5 million paid at closing and the balance of approximately $2.0 million paid before the end of fiscal 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As discussed above, the Pandemic and volatility in oil prices has created significant uncertainty in the global economy, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity. The period for which disruptions related to the Pandemic will continue is uncertain as is the magnitude of any adverse impacts. We believe that any negative impacts have begun to subside but there can be no assurance of that.

The Company has a history of operating losses, has generated negative cash from operating activities in each of the last four quarters and has relied on cash from the sale of lease pool equipment and Preferred Stock pursuant to the 2nd ATM Offering Program established in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Notwithstanding the negative impacts of the Pandemic and history of operating losses noted above, management believes there are factors and actions available to the Company to address liquidity concerns, including the following:

•The Company has no funded debt or other outstanding obligations, outside of normal trade obligations.

•The Company has no obligations or agreements containing “maintenance type” financial covenants.

•The Company has working capital of approximately $16.1 million as of July 31, 2021, including cash of approximately $2.1 million.

•Should revenues be less than projected, the Company believes it is able, and has plans, to reduce costs proportionately in order to maintain positive cash flow.

•The majority of the Company’s costs are variable in nature, such as raw materials and personnel related costs. The Company has terminated or furloughed certain employees and contractors in response to market conditions.

•Despite the temporary suspension of operations in Malaysia and Singapore early in fiscal 2021, operations continued uninterrupted at other locations. Certain of these operations have been deemed “essential businesses” by authorities. However, there can be no assurance that there will not be further suspensions in the future.

•The Company has a backlog of orders of approximately $11.7 million as of July 31, 2021, which is a decrease from the record amount at January 31, 2021, but an increase of approximately 54% from July 31, 2020.

•The Company has been successful in selling certain assets held for sale Subsequent to July 31, 2021, the Company completed an asset sale for total proceeds of approximately $4.5 million, all of which we expect to receive in fiscal 2022.

•The Company has declared and paid the quarterly dividend on its Preferred Stock for the first and second quarter of fiscal 2022, and each quarter in fiscal 2021, but such quarterly dividends could be suspended in the future.

•Despite the challenging economic environment in fiscal 2021, the Company successfully expanded its authorized capital stock (See Note 15 - “Corporate Restructuring”) and raised approximately $4.5 million in new capital through the sale of Common Stock and Preferred Stock pursuant to the 2nd ATM Offering Program. Management expects to be able to raise further capital through the 2nd ATM Offering Program should the need arise.

•Based on publicized transactions and preliminary discussions with potential funding sources, management believes that other sources of debt and equity financing are available should the need arise.

Based on the factors and actions available to the Company as discussed above, Management expects the Company to continue to meet its obligations as they arise over the next twelve months.

Our principal sources of liquidity and capital over the past two fiscal years have been proceeds from issuances of Preferred Stock and from the sale of lease pool equipment.

Under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, we have 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized which we believe provides capacity for subsequent issues of common stock or preferred stock.

The Preferred Stock has been issued in a June 2016 public offering, as consideration to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd (“MHI”), and in the 1st and 2nd ATM Offering Programs. The Preferred Stock (i) allows for redemption on at our option (even in the event of a change of

22

control), (ii) does not grant holders with voting control of our Board of Directors, and (iii) provides holders with a conversion option (into common stock) only upon a change of control which, upon conversion, would be subject to a limit on the maximum number of shares of common stock to be issued. Through July 31, 2021, we have issued 1,222,972 shares of our Preferred Stock.

During the six months ended July 3, 2021, under the 2nd ATM Offering Program, the Company sold (i) 18,415 shares of Common Stock, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $43,000, after deducting offering costs and (ii) 184,740 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.5 million.

The following table sets forth selected historical information regarding cash flows from our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

	For the Six Months Ended July 31,
	2021		2020
	(in thousands)
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(7,191)	$	(2,566)
Net cash provided by investing activities	1,231		1,598
Net cash provided by financing activities	3,383		489
Effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents	22		(117)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(2,555)	$	(596)

As of July 31, 2021, we had working capital of approximately $16.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $2.1 million, as compared to working capital of approximately $19.0 million, including cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $4.6 million, at January 31, 2021. Our working capital decreased during the first six months of fiscal 2022 as compared to January 31, 2021 due primarily to reductions in cash, assets held for sale and an increase in accounts payable.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $7.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2022 as compared to approximately $2.6 million of cash used in operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2021. [In the quarter ended July 31, 2021, the primary sources of cash used in operating activities was our net loss of $6.6 million, net of non-cash charges, including depreciation, amortization and provision for inventory obsolescence totaling approximately $1.5 million. In addition, the net change in working capital items, such as accounts receivable and accounts payable, increased net cash used in operating activities by approximately $4.6 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Cash provided from investing activities decreased during the first six months of fiscal 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to lower proceeds from the sale of Assets Held for Sale in fiscal 2022 as compared to proceeds from the sale of lease pool equipment in fiscal 2021.

We had $1.2 million of proceeds from sale of assets held for sale during the first six months of fiscal 2022 compared to approximately $2.0 million of proceeds from the sale of lease pool equipment in the first six months of fiscal 2021. Due to the decision to exit the Leasing Business we are currently seeking to sell the remaining equipment from our lease pool, which is currently classified as Assets Held for Sale. However, there is no guarantee additional sales of Assets Held for Sale will occur. Accordingly, cash flow from the sale of Assets Held for Sale is unpredictable. Proceeds from any additional sales of Assets Held for Sale will be deployed in other areas of our business or used for general corporate purposes.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2021 consisted of approximately $43,000 of proceeds from sales of Common Stock, approximately $4.5 million of proceeds from sales of Preferred Stock, offset by approximately $1.2 million of Preferred Stock dividend payments. Our 1st ATM Offering Program related to the Preferred Stock was concluded in fiscal 2020. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we launched the 2nd ATM Offering Program to sell up to 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

As of July 31, 2021, we have no funded debt and no obligations containing restrictive financial covenants.

We regularly evaluate opportunities to expand our business through the acquisition of other companies, businesses or product lines. If we were to make any such acquisitions, we believe they could generally be financed with a combination of cash on hand and cash flows from operations. However, should these sources of financing not be adequate, we may seek other sources of capital to fund future acquisitions. These additional sources of capital include bank credit facilities or the issuance of debt or equity securities.

We have determined that the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are not deemed indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States as of July 31, 2021. Furthermore, we have concluded that any deferred taxes with respect to the undistributed foreign earnings would be immaterial.

As of July 31, 2021, we had deposits in foreign banks equal to approximately $669,000 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. These factors could limit our ability to pay cash dividends in the future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk, which is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative financial instruments for hedging or speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Risk

We operate in several foreign locations, which gives rise to risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To the extent possible, we attempt to denominate our transactions in foreign locations in U.S. dollars. For those cases in which transactions are not denominated in U.S. dollars, we are exposed to risk from changes in exchange rates to the extent that non-U.S. dollar revenues exceed non-U.S. dollar expenses related to those transactions. Our non-U.S. dollar transactions are denominated primarily in British pounds, Singapore dollars and European Union euros. As a result of these transactions, we generally hold cash balances that are denominated in these foreign currencies. At July 31, 2021, our consolidated cash and cash equivalents included foreign currency denominated amounts equivalent to approximately $185,000 in U.S. dollars. A 10% increase in the U.S. dollar as compared to each of these currencies would result in a loss of approximately $19,000 in the U.S. dollar value of these deposits, while a 10% decrease would result in an equal amount of gain. We do not currently hold or issue foreign exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to hedge these exposures.

Interest Rate Risk

As of July 31, 2021, we have no interest-bearing bank debt on our balance sheet.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our principal executive officers and principal financial officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2021 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended July 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

25

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are a party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, individually or collectively, that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition or is otherwise material.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 have not materially changed. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Organization

MIND Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), formerly Mitcham Industries, Inc., a Texas corporation, was incorporated in 1987. Effective August 3, 2020 the Company effectuated a reincorporation to the state of Delaware. Concurrent with the reincorporation the name of the Company was changed to MIND Technology, Inc. and the number of shares of common stock and preferred stock authorized for issuance was increased. See Note 15 - “Corporate Restructuring”, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Seamap Pte Ltd, MIND Maritime Acoustics, LLC (formerly Seamap USA, LLC), Seamap (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and Seamap (UK) Ltd (collectively “Seamap”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Klein Marine Systems, Inc. (“Klein”), designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of proprietary products for the seismic, hydrographic and offshore industries with product sales and support facilities based in Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and the states of New Hampshire and Texas. Prior to July 31, 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Mitcham Canada, ULC (“MCL”), its wholly owned Hungarian subsidiary, Mitcham Europe Ltd. (“MEL”), and its branch operations in Colombia, provided full-service equipment leasing, sales and service to the seismic industry worldwide (the “Leasing Business”). Effective July 31, 2020, the Leasing Business has been classified as held for sale on the financial results reported as discontinued operations (see Note 3 – “Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” for additional details). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The lingering impacts of the global pandemic and emerging supply chain disruptions have created uncertainty in the global economy which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the Company has a history of operating losses and has had negative cash from operating activities. However, as of July 31, 2021, the Company has no funded debt or obligations containing financial covenants, working capital of approximately $16.1 million, including cash of approximately $2.1 million, backlog of firm orders of approximately $11.7 million, the ability, and plans, to reduce costs to maintain positive cash flow, additional equity available to raise further capital, and lease pool equipment being actively marketed for sale. Based on these factors, management expects the Company to continue to meet its obligations as they arise over the next twelve months.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2021 for the Company has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 31, 2021, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statement of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The foregoing interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”).

We have reclassified certain amounts in prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. On the consolidated balance sheets, income taxes payable, not related to discontinued operations has been reclassified from “Current liabilities held for sale” to “Current income taxes payable.”

The revenue from products manufactured and sold by our Seamap and Klein businesses 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. Our Seamap business also provides Software Maintenance Agreements (“SMA”) to customers who have an active license for software embedded in Seamap products. The revenue from SMA’s is recognized over time, with the total value of the SMA amortized in equal monthly amounts over the life of the contract, which is typically twelve months.

The following table presents revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by geography, based on shipping location of our customers:

Considering the products manufactured and sold by our Seamap and Klein businesses and the Company’s standard contract terms and conditions, we expect our contract assets and liabilities to turn over, on average, within a period of three to nine months.

Pursuant to our accounting policies and procedures related to revenue from contracts with customers, sales and transaction-based taxes are excluded from revenue. Also, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally, we expense costs incurred to obtain contracts when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Notes Payable

Notes Payable

On May 5, 2020, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Klein (collectively, the “Borrowers”), were granted loans (the “Loans”) from Bank of America, N.A. in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.6 million, pursuant to the Small Business Association's Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), a component of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act which was enacted on March 27, 2020.

The Loans, in the form of promissory notes (the “Notes”) dated May 1, 2020 issued by the Borrowers, were set to mature on May 1, 2022 and bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020. The Notes stipulated various restrictions customary with this type of transaction including representations, warranties, and covenants, in addition to events of default, breaches of representation and warranties or other provisions of the Notes. In the event of default, the Borrowers would have become obligated to repay all amounts outstanding under the Notes. The Borrowers were permitted to prepay the Notes at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

Under the terms of the PPP, funds from the Loans could only be used for payroll costs, rent, utilities and interest on other debt obligations incurred prior to February 15, 2020. In addition, certain amounts of the Loans could be forgiven if the funds were used to pay qualifying expenses.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

For the six months ended July 31, 2021, the income tax expense from continuing operations was approximately $52,000 on a pre-tax net loss from continuing operations of $6.4 million. For the six months ended July 31, 2020, the benefit for income taxes from continuing operations was approximately $188,000 on a pre-tax net loss from continuing operations of $8.5 million. The variance between our actual provision and the expected provision based on the U.S. statutory rate is due primarily to recording valuation allowances against the increase in our deferred tax assets in the respective periods, permanent differences between book income and taxable income, and the effect of foreign withholding taxes.

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, 2018 through 2021. The Company’s tax returns may also be subject to examination by state and local tax authorities for fiscal years ended January 31, 2016 through 2021. In addition, the Company's tax returns filed in foreign jurisdictions are generally subject to examination for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2016 through 2021.

The Company has determined that the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States as of July 31, 2021. Furthermore, the Company has concluded that any deferred taxes with respect to the undistributed foreign earnings would be immaterial. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability associated with the undistributed foreign earnings as of July 31, 2021.

For the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not recognize any tax expense or benefit related to uncertain tax positions.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

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.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares used in the earnings per share calculation:

	Three Months Ended July 31,		Six Months Ended July 31,
	2021	2020	2021	2020
	(in thousands)		(in thousands)
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	13,774	12,182	13,767	12,177
Stock options	79	3	58	1
Unvested restricted stock	29	10	18	5
Total weighted average common share equivalents	108	13	76	6
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	13,882	12,195	13,843	12,183

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, potentially dilutive common shares underlying stock options and unvested restricted stock were anti-dilutive and were therefore not considered in calculating diluted loss per share for those periods.

Related Party Transaction

On October 7, 2016, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (the “Agent”). On December 18, 2019, the Company and Agent entered into an Amended and Restated equity distribution agreement (the “1st Equity Distribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the 1st Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company may sell up to 500,000 shares of 9.00% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), through an at-the-market offering program (the “1st ATM Offering Program”) administered by the Agent. The Co-Chief Executive Officer and Co-President of the Agent is the Non-Executive Chairman of our Board. Under the 1st Equity Distribution Agreement, the Agent was entitled to compensation of up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Preferred Stock under the 1st ATM Offering Program. As of January 31, 2020, we had issued 994,046 shares of Series A Preferred for which the Agent was entitled to compensation, including 100% of the Preferred Stock available for sale through the 1st Equity Distribution Agreement.

In September 2020 we entered into a new equity distribution agreement (the “2nd Equity Distribution Agreement”) with the Agent with economic terms essentially identical to the initial agreement. Pursuant to the 2nd Equity Distribution Agreement, the Company may sell up to 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock (“Common Stock”) through a new at-the-market offering program (the “2nd ATM Offering Program”).

During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, the Company sold 163,780 and 184,740 shares of Preferred Stock under the 2nd ATM Offering Program, respectively. Net proceeds from these sales for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, were approximately $4.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and the Agent received compensation of approximately $82,000 and 92,000,respectively. The Non-Executive Chairman of the Board received no portion of this compensation.

During the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2021, the Company sold 362 and 18,415 shares of Common Stock under the 2nd ATM Offering Program, respectively. Net proceeds from these sales for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, were approximately $1,000 and $43,000. Compensation to the Agent during this period was approximately $1,000, none of which was received by the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization

MIND Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), formerly Mitcham Industries, Inc., a Texas corporation, was incorporated in 1987. Effective August 3, 2020 the Company effectuated a reincorporation to the state of Delaware. Concurrent with the reincorporation the name of the Company was changed to MIND Technology, Inc. and the number of shares of common stock and preferred stock authorized for issuance was increased. See Note 15 - “Corporate Restructuring”, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Seamap Pte Ltd, MIND Maritime Acoustics, LLC (formerly Seamap USA, LLC), Seamap (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and Seamap (UK) Ltd (collectively “Seamap”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Klein Marine Systems, Inc. (“Klein”), designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of proprietary products for the seismic, hydrographic and offshore industries with product sales and support facilities based in Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and the states of New Hampshire and Texas. Prior to July 31, 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Mitcham Canada, ULC (“MCL”), its wholly owned Hungarian subsidiary, Mitcham Europe Ltd. (“MEL”), and its branch operations in Colombia, provided full-service equipment leasing, sales and service to the seismic industry worldwide (the “Leasing Business”). Effective July 31, 2020, the Leasing Business has been classified as held for sale on the financial results reported as discontinued operations (see Note 3 – “Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” for additional details). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of PresentationThe condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2021 for the Company has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of July 31, 2021, the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statement of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The foregoing interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”).

Reclassification

We have reclassified certain amounts in prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. On the consolidated balance sheets, income taxes payable, not related to discontinued operations has been reclassified from “Current liabilities held for sale” to “Current income taxes payable.”

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and by clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that annual period. The Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2021, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
