</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with a review of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January&nbsp;31,
2005 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October&nbsp;31, 2005 of Mitcham Industries, Inc. (the
&#147;Company&#148;), the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Staff&#148;) issued a comment
letter in which, among other things, the Staff commented on the classification of certain items in
the Company&#146;s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As a result of these discussions with the
Staff, the Company has restated its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV style="margin-top: 6pt">
<TABLE width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt">

<TR valign="top" style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background: transparent">
    <TD width="4%" style="background: transparent">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD width="3%" nowrap align="left"><B>&#149;</B></TD>
    <TD width="1%">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD>Historically, the Company has reflected cash flows from continuing operations within
the operating, investing and financing categories and has aggregated operating,
investing and financing cash flows from discontinued operations as a single line item
in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company has now restated its
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to reflect cash flows from discontinued
operations within each category of operating, investing and financing activities.</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
    <TD style="font-size: 6pt">&nbsp;</TD>
</TR><TR valign="top" style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background: transparent">
    <TD width="4%" style="background: transparent">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD width="3%" nowrap align="left"><B>&#149;</B></TD>
    <TD width="1%">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD>The Company had also previously reported cash receipts from the sale of lease pool
equipment as operating activities. The Company has now determined that cash receipts
from the sale of used lease pool equipment should be classified as investing activities
and the &#147;Gross profit from sale of lease pool equipment&#148; should be reflected as a
deduction in operating activities.</TD>
</TR>

<TR>
    <TD style="font-size: 6pt">&nbsp;</TD>
</TR><TR valign="top" style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background: transparent">
    <TD width="4%" style="background: transparent">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD width="3%" nowrap align="left"><B>&#149;</B></TD>
    <TD width="1%">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD>Finally, the Company has reclassified certain of its investments in certificates of deposit
from cash and cash equivalents to short-term investments.</TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The latter reclassification results in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the
quarters ended July&nbsp;31, 2005 and October&nbsp;31, 2005. However, none of the adjustments otherwise
affect the Company&#146;s reported revenues, net income, net income per share, total assets,
shareholders&#146; equity, net increase in cash and cash equivalents, current cash or liquidity position
for the restated periods or for the year ended January&nbsp;31, 2006 as announced in our press release
dated April&nbsp;18, 2006. The adjustments also do not affect the Company&#146;s compliance with the
financial covenants under its credit facility.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also as a result of these discussions and adjustments, on May&nbsp;8, 2006, the Audit Committee of
the Company&#146;s Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of management, concluded that the
Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended January&nbsp;31, 2005 and 2004
and for each of the quarters of fiscal 2006 should no longer be relied upon because of the
aforementioned presentation and classification errors in those financial statements. The Audit
Committee also concluded that these consolidated financial statements should be restated to reflect
these presentation changes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
restated financial statements for the fiscal years ended
January&nbsp;31, 2005 and 2004 and for the quarters ended
April&nbsp;30, 2005, July&nbsp;31, 2005 and October&nbsp;31, 2005 will be
included in the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January&nbsp;31, 2006, which the
Company expects to file with the SEC on May&nbsp;10, 2006. A summary presentation of the financial effect
of the planned restatements is presented below (amounts in thousands).

Bulletin (&#147;SAB&#148;) No.&nbsp;99, &#147;Materiality&#148; and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.&nbsp;20, &#147;Accounting
Changes&#148; and taking into consideration (1)&nbsp;the periods in which the errors occurred, (2)&nbsp;that the
restatement adjustments did not impact revenues, net income, net income per share, total assets,
shareholders&#146; equity, net increase in cash and cash equivalents (except with respect to the
quarters ended July&nbsp;31, 2005 and October&nbsp;31, 2005), current cash or liquidity position, and (3)&nbsp;in
the case of the temporary investment reclassification, the amounts involved, our management
concluded that the control deficiencies that resulted in the restatement of our Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows do not represent a material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting. Following our identification of these control deficiencies, we have modified
our process for preparing our statements of cash flows by performing a more thorough review of the
classifications of our cash flows to comply with SFAS No.&nbsp;95 &#147;Statement of Cash Flows&#148; and SFAS No.
102 &#147;Statement of Cash Flows &#151; Exemption of Certain Enterprises and Classification of Cash Flows
from Certain Securities Acquired for Resale &#151; An Amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;95.&#148; In addition,
we will continue to monitor GAAP developments and changes in our business to reduce the risk of
classification errors in our statements of cash flows.
