Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization | 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 16 - Corporate Restructuring, to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Seamap Pte, Ltd. (“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 New Hampshire, Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and Texas. Prior to July 31, 2020, the Company, together with 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. In February 2019 the Company sold its wholly owned Australian subsidiary Seismic Asia Pacific Pty Ltd (“SAP”). See Note 14 - Sale of Subsidiaries to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. During the second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”), management and the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company determined to exit the land seismic leasing business (the “Leasing Business”), which comprises essentially all operations of the Equipment Leasing segment. Accordingly, the results of operations for this segment are excluded from the Company’s continuing operations for fiscal 2021 and all comparative periods and presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 3 - Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has a history of losses, has had negative cash from operating activities in the last two fiscal years and may not have access to sources of capital that were available in prior periods. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and the decline in oil prices during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 have created substantial doubt and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and liquidity. Accordingly, substantial doubt has arisen regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.
