August 3, 2020, 20 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.

The preponderance of negative or positive evidence supports a conclusion regarding the need for a valuation allowance for some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset. The more significant types of evidence considered include the following: • projected taxable income in future years; • our history of taxable income within a particular jurisdiction; • any history of deferred tax assets expiring prior realization; • whether the carry forward period is so brief that it would limit realization of tax benefits; • other limitations on the utilization of tax benefits; • future sales and operating cost projections that will produce more than enough taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset based on existing sales prices and cost structures; • our earnings history exclusive of the loss that created the future deductible amount coupled with evidence indicating that the loss is an aberration rather than a continuing condition; and • tax planning strategies that will create additional taxable income. Use of Estimates not Substantial judgment is necessary in the determination of the appropriate levels for the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts because of the extended payment terms the Company offers to its customers on occasion and the limited financial wherewithal of certain of these customers. As a result, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts could change in the future, and such change could be material to the financial statements taken as a whole. The Company must also make substantial judgments regarding the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and with respect to quantitative analysis prepared in conjunction with impairment analysis related to goodwill and other intangible assets. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued guidance on the definition of fair value, the framework for using fair value to measure assets hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: • Level 1: • Level 2: 1, 2 • Level 3: may The Company measures the fair values of intangibles and other long-lived assets on a recurring basis if required by impairment tests applicable to these assets.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes The weight given to the potential effect of positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The preponderance of negative or positive evidence supports a conclusion regarding the need for a valuation allowance for some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset. The more significant types of evidence considered include the following: • projected taxable income in future years; • our history of taxable income within a particular jurisdiction; • any history of deferred tax assets expiring prior realization; • whether the carry forward period is so brief that it would limit realization of tax benefits; • other limitations on the utilization of tax benefits; • future sales and operating cost projections that will produce more than enough taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset based on existing sales prices and cost structures; • our earnings history exclusive of the loss that created the future deductible amount coupled with evidence indicating that the loss is an aberration rather than a continuing condition; and • tax planning strategies that will create additional taxable income.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates not Substantial judgment is necessary in the determination of the appropriate levels for the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts because of the extended payment terms the Company offers to its customers on occasion and the limited financial wherewithal of certain of these customers. As a result, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts could change in the future, and such change could be material to the financial statements taken as a whole. The Company must also make substantial judgments regarding the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and with respect to quantitative analysis prepared in conjunction with impairment analysis related to goodwill and other intangible assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued guidance on the definition of fair value, the framework for using fair value to measure assets hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: • Level 1: • Level 2: 1, 2 • Level 3: may The Company measures the fair values of intangibles and other long-lived assets on a recurring basis if required by impairment tests applicable to these assets.
