and equipment used in the acquisition and processing of seismic data. We also design and manufacture thermal imaging equipment and distribute dry thermal film products to the thermal solutions industry. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Geoscientists use seismic data to map potential or existing oil and gas bearing formations and the geologic structures that surround them. Seismic data
is used primarily in connection with the exploration, development and production of oil and gas reserves. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Seismic data acquisition is
generally conducted by combining a seismic energy source and a data recording system. On land, our customers use our geophones, leader wire, cables and connectors to receive, measure and transmit seismic reflections resulting from an energy source
to data collection units, which store information for processing and analysis. In the marine environment, large ocean-going vessels tow long seismic cables known as &#147;streamers&#148; containing hydrophones which are used to detect pressure
changes. Hydrophones transmit electrical impulses back to the vessel&#146;s data collection unit, where the seismic data is stored for subsequent processing and analysis. Our marine seismic products help steer streamers while being towed and help
recover streamers when accidents occur. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have also developed high definition reservoir characterization products for borehole and
ocean-bottom applications. Utilizing these products, our customers can utilize seismic technologies to better identify and enhance the recovery of oil and gas deposits over the life of a reservoir. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 1995, we modified our thermal imaging product technology that we had traditionally applied in our seismic business and were able to apply that
technology to other markets. We are now manufacturing and marketing our thermal imaging products, which includes thermal imaging equipment and dry thermal film, to the screen print, point of sale, signage and textile market sectors, along with some
sales to seismic customers. Our thermal imaging equipment is capable of producing data images ranging in size from 12 to 54 inches wide, with resolution ranging from 400 to 1,200 dpi. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have recently expanded our cable line of products beyond the seismic area and are offering the design and manufacturing of cable products to the
offshore oil and gas and offshore construction industries. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our principal executive offices are located at 7007 Pinemont Drive, Houston,

ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially adversely
affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus, including the documents it incorporates by reference, also contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below
and elsewhere in this prospectus or in the documents it incorporates by reference. While we cannot identify all of the risk factors that may cause actual results to vary from our expectations, we believe the following risk factors that relate to our
current and anticipated business should be considered carefully. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Commodity price levels may affect demand for our products. </I></B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Demand for many of our products depends primarily on the level of worldwide oil and gas exploration activity. That activity, in turn, depends primarily
on prevailing oil and gas prices and availability of seismic data. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile, and those markets are likely to continue to be volatile. Oil and gas prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response
to changes in the supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include the level of consumer demand, weather conditions, domestic and foreign governmental
regulations, price and availability of alternative fuels, political conditions and hostilities in the Middle East and other significant oil-producing regions, increases and decreases in foreign supply of oil and gas, prices of foreign imports and
overall economic conditions. Any unexpected material changes in oil and gas prices or other market trends that adversely impacts seismic exploration activity would likely affect the demand for our products could materially and adversely affect our
results of operations and liquidity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Our new products may not achieve market acceptance. </I></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our outlook and assumptions are based on various macro-economic factors and our internal assessments, and actual market conditions could vary materially
from those assumed. In recent years we have incurred significant expenditures to fund our research and development efforts and to attempt to develop our thermal imaging products, and we intend to continue those expenditures in the future. Research
and development is by its nature speculative, and we cannot assure you that these expenditures will result in the development of new products or services or that any new products and services we have developed recently or may develop in the future,
including certain thermal imaging products, will be commercially marketable or profitable to us. In particular and in addition to expenditures relating to developing our thermal imaging products, we have incurred substantial expenditures to develop
seismic products for reservoir characterization applications. In addition, we recently began to try to use some of our capabilities, particularly our cable manufacturing capabilities, to supply products to new markets. We cannot assure you that we
will realize our expectations regarding acceptance and revenues for our products and services in existing or new markets from these products and services. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><B><I>We may experience fluctuations in quarterly results of operations. </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Historically, the rate of new orders for our
products has varied substantially from quarter to quarter. Moreover, we typically operate, and expect to continue to operate, on the basis of orders in hand for our products before we commence substantial manufacturing &#147;runs&#148;. The nature
of our order backlog generally does not allow us to predict with any accuracy demand for our products more than approximately three months in advance. Completion of orders, particularly large orders for deepwater reservoir characterization projects,
can significantly impact our operating results and cash flow for any quarter, and results of operations for any one quarter may not be indicative of results of operations for future quarters. These periodic fluctuations in our operating results
could adversely affect our stock price. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Our credit risks could increase as our customers continue to face difficult economic circumstances.
</I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We believe, and have assumed, that our allowances for bad debts have been adequate in light of then-known circumstances. However,
we cannot assure you that additional amounts attributable to uncollectible receivables and bad debt write-offs will not have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations. Many of our seismic contractor customers are not well
capitalized and as a result can not always pay our invoices when due. We have in the past incurred write-offs in our accounts receivable due to customer credit problems. We have found it necessary from time to time to extend trade credit, including
on promissory notes, to long-term customers and others where some risks of non-payment exist. Although industry conditions have improved, some of our customers continue to experience liquidity difficulties, which increase those credit risks. An
increase in the level of bad debts and any deterioration in our credit risk could adversely affect the price of our stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A general downturn in the U.S. economy in future periods could adversely affect our business in ways that we cannot predict. Any economic downturn may
adversely affect the demand for oil and gas generally or cause volatility in oil and gas commodity prices and, therefore, adversely affect the demand for our services to the oil and gas industry and related service and equipment industries. It could
also adversely affect the demand for consumer products, which could in turn adversely affect our thermal solutions business. To the extent these factors adversely affect other seismic companies in the industry, we could see an oversupply of products
and services and downward pressure on pricing for seismic products and services that would also adversely affect us. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
</I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In response to several high profile cases of accounting irregularities, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the &#147;Act,&#148; was
enacted into law on July&nbsp;30, 2002. We were required to begin to comply with the annual requirements of Section&nbsp;404 of the Act with respect to our internal controls over financial reporting effective for our fiscal year ending
September&nbsp;30, 2006. The Act, and rules promulgated thereunder, as well as NASDAQ listing standards addressing corporate governance issues, endeavor to provide greater accountability and promote investor confidence by imposing specific corporate
governance requirements, by requiring more stringent controls and certifications by corporate management and by ultimately imposing new auditor attestations. The Act and NASDAQ rules affect how audit committees, corporate management and auditors of
publicly traded companies carry out their respective responsibilities and interact with each other and mandate composition of audit committees by independent directors. The Act has resulted in higher expenses for publicly traded companies, including
us, as a result of higher audit and review fees, higher legal fees, higher director fees and higher internal costs to document, test and potentially remediate internal control deficiencies. The Act, together with the financial scandals and difficult
economic environment of recent years, has also led to substantially increased premiums for director and officer liability insurance. These increased expenses affect smaller public companies, like us, disproportionately from their effects on
companies with larger revenue and operating income bases with which to absorb such increased costs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With respect to the internal controls
requirement flowing from the Act, we devoted substantial efforts and incurred significant expenses in fiscal years 2005 and 2006 in documenting, testing and potentially remediating deficiencies in our internal controls system. We added internal
resources and hired outside experts to help us with respect to these matters. We expect to incur substantial expenses in the future to maintain and audit our internal control documentation and procedures. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>After this offering, we will continue to have a relatively small public float and our stock price may be volatile. </I></B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As is disclosed above under the risk factor headed &#147;We have been subject to control by a principal stockholder,&#148; until August 2005, OYO Japan,
through OYO USA, beneficially owned 2,850,000 shares of our common stock, which represented approximately 50.7% of our outstanding shares. In August 2005, OYO USA sold 1,400,000 shares of our common stock through an underwritten secondary offering.
Following the completion of the offering, OYO USA owned 1,450,000 shares, or approximately 25.8%, of our common stock. The Hall Options were included in these 1,450,000 shares. As of May&nbsp;23, 2006, the selling stockholder identified in the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on February&nbsp;28, 2006, as amended by Amendment No.&nbsp;1 to Form S-3 filed on March&nbsp;21, 2006, had exercised the Hall Options fully, and sold the shares acquired upon such exercise to the public. On
February&nbsp;14, 2007, OYO USA purchased 31,500 shares of our common stock from Thomas L. Davis, Ph.D., one of our directors. Subsequently, on March&nbsp;6, 2007, OYO USA purchased 9,450 shares of our common stock from Charles H. Still, also one of
our directors. As a result of these transactions, OYO USA owns 1,190,950 shares, or approximately 20.5%, of our common stock. Thus approximately 4,300,000 shares of our common stock is held by non-affiliates. Our small float has resulted in, and we
expect that it will continue to result in, a relatively illiquid market for our common stock, though our daily average trading volume has increased beyond historic levels following the secondary offering of shares by OYO USA. Our daily trading
volume during the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 averaged approximately 42,000 shares. While our average daily trading volume may have increased following the sale by the selling stockholder identified in the Registration Statement on
Form S-3 filed on February&nbsp;28, 2006, as amended by Amendment No.&nbsp;1 to Form S-3 filed on March&nbsp;21, 2006, of his shares in the company since such shares added to the &#147;public float&#148; for our shares, we do not expect that any
such increase will significantly increase the liquidity of the market for our shares. Our small public float and daily trading volumes have in the past caused, and could in the future result in, greater volatility of our stock price. </FONT></P> <P

restated certificate of incorporation contains a provision that eliminates the personal liability of a director to the company and our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director to the extent currently allowed
under the Delaware General Corporation Law, or &#147;DGCL.&#148; If a director were to breach such duty in performing his duties as a director, neither the company nor its stockholders could recover monetary damages from the director, and the only
course of action available to our stockholders would be equitable remedies, such as an action to enjoin or rescind a transaction involving a breach of fiduciary duty. To the extent certain claims against directors are limited to equitable remedies,
the provision in our restated certificate of incorporation may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation and may discourage stockholders or management from initiating litigation against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.
Additionally, equitable remedies may not be effective in many situations. If a stockholder&#146;s only remedy is to enjoin the completion of our board of directors&#146; action, the remedy would be ineffective if the stockholder does not become
aware of a transaction or event until after it has been completed. In such a situation, it is possible that the stockholders and our company would have no effective remedy against the directors. Under our restated certificate of incorporation,
liability for monetary damages remains for (i)&nbsp;any breach of the duty of loyalty to our company or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii)&nbsp;payment of an improper dividend or improper repurchase of our stock under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL or (iv)&nbsp;any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our restated certificate of incorporation
further provides that in the event the DGCL is amended to allow the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of our directors shall be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the amended
DGCL. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our restated certificate of incorporation obligates our company at all times to maintain the effectiveness of bylaw provisions
providing for the mandatory indemnification of directors of our company to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL. Under our bylaws, each person who is or was a director or officer of the company or a subsidiary of the company, or who serves or
served any other enterprise or organization at the request of the company or a subsidiary of the company, shall be indemnified by the company to the full extent permitted by the DGCL. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

respect to any event giving rise to indemnification. Each director&#146;s right to indemnification is to survive his respective death or termination as director. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our company&#146;s bylaws provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors and the advancement to them of expenses in connection with proceedings and claims, to the fullest extent permitted under the
DGCL. Such indemnification may be made even though directors and officers may otherwise be determined later not to be entitled to indemnification under other provisions by the bylaws. </FONT></P> <P
