Performance Obligations

 

The revenue from products manufactured and sold by our Seamap business is generally recognized at a point in time, or when the customer takes possession of the product, based on the terms and conditions stipulated in our contracts with customers. However, revenue is recognized over time when our Seamap business provides repair and maintenance services, or performs upgrades, on customer-owned equipment, which occurs periodically. In addition, our Seamap business provides annual Software Maintenance Agreements (“SMAs”) to customers who have an active license for software embedded in Seamap products. The revenue from SMAs is recognized over time, with the total value of the SMAs amortized in equal monthly amounts over the life of the contract. The duration of SMAs is typically one year or less. We do not have elements of variable consideration within these contracts.

 

As of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, due to the nature of our contracts and the services and products we provide, there were no significant outstanding liability balances for refunds or returns. Our warranties are limited to assurance warranties that are of a standard length and are not considered to be material rights. For the nine months ended October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, we did not recognize revenue from performance obligations satisfied in a prior period.

 

Contract Balances

 

Prepayments and deferred revenue on SMAs have a significant impact on our contract liabilities. Considering the products manufactured and sold by our Seamap business and the Company’s standard contract terms and conditions, we expect our contract assets and liabilities to turn over, on average, within a three to six-month period. We do not have any long-term service contracts or related long-term contract assets or liabilities. Costs to obtain and fulfill contracts are considered immaterial and are expensed during the period when incurred. Contract liabilities decreased by approximately $1.2 million during the nine months ended October 31, 2025 due primarily to recognition of revenue during the current fiscal year.

 

 

As of October 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024, contract assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

 

  

October 31, 2025

With respect to the presentation of contract assets and liabilities above, sales and transaction-based taxes are excluded from revenue. Also, we expense costs incurred to obtain contracts because the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
