<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On February&nbsp;27, 2018, Geospace Technologies Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) notified BDO USA, LLP (&#147;BDO&#148;) that the Company was dismissing
BDO as its independent registered accounting firm, effective February&nbsp;27, 2018. The Company&#146;s Audit Committee and the Board of Directors approved the dismissal of BDO as the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm.
Effective February&nbsp;27, 2018, the Company, after review and approval of the Company&#146;s Audit Committee and Board of Directors, appointed and engaged RSM US LLP (&#147;RSM&#148;) as the Company&#146;s new independent registered public
accounting firm for and with respect to the fiscal year ending September&nbsp;30, 2018. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The reports of BDO on the Company&#146;s financial statements as
of and for the fiscal years ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 and 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of an opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The audit report of BDO
on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September&nbsp;30, 2017 and 2016 contained an adverse opinion on our internal control over financial reporting due to a material weakness regarding our failure to design and
maintain controls over the classification of inventory, which resulted in a restatement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the Company&#146;s two most recent fiscal years ended
September&nbsp;30, 2017 and 2016 and through the date, February&nbsp;27, 2018, there were: (i)&nbsp;no disagreements with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and (ii)&nbsp;no &#147;reportable
events&#148; (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K),</FONT> except for the material weakness reported in the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT>
for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 related to the Company&#146;s lack of adequate controls concerning the classification of current assets with respect to inventories. The Audit Committee has discussed the subject matter of the
foregoing material weakness with BDO, and the Company has authorized BDO to respond fully to any inquiries concerning such matters made by RSM. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Company has provided BDO with a copy of this Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K</FONT> prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) and requested that BDO furnish to the Company a letter addressed to the
SEC stating that it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of BDO&#146;s letter dated March&nbsp;1, 2018 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">8-K.</FONT> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the Company&#146;s two most recently completed fiscal years and through the date of the Company&#146;s engagement of RSM, neither the Company nor
anyone on behalf of the Company consulted with RSM regarding (i)&nbsp;the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company&#146;s consolidated
financial statements, and no written or oral advice was provided by RSM that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues or (ii)&nbsp;any matter that was either
the subject of a disagreement or event, as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K.</FONT> </P>
