              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

                                 MARCH 31, 2003

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         UNIFAB International, Inc. (the Company) fabricates and assembles
jackets, decks, topside facilities, quarters buildings, drilling rigs and
equipment for installation and use offshore in the production, processing and
storage of oil and gas. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Allen Process
Systems, LLC, the Company designs and manufactures specialized process systems
such as oil and gas separation systems, gas dehydration and treatment systems,
and oil dehydration and desalting systems, and other production equipment
related to the development and production of oil and gas reserves. Compression
Engineering Services, Inc. (CESI), a division of Allen Process Systems, LLC,
provides compressor project engineering from inception through commissioning,
including project studies and performance evaluation of new and existing
systems, on-site supervision of package installation, and equipment sourcing and
inspection. The Company's main fabrication facilities are located at the Port of
Iberia in New Iberia, Louisiana. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Allen
Process Systems, Ltd., headquartered in London, England, the Company provides
engineering and project management services primarily in Europe, the Middle East
and the Far East.

         The operating cycle of the Company's contracts is typically less than
one year, although some large contracts may exceed one year's duration. Assets
and liabilities have been classified as current and noncurrent under the
operating cycle concept whereby all contract-related items are regarded as
current regardless of whether cash will be received within a 12-month period. At
March 31, 2003, it was anticipated that substantially all contracts in progress,
and receivables associated therewith, would be completed and collected within a
12-month period.

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly owned. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2003.

         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform
with the presentation at March 31, 2003.

2. MIDLAND RECAPITALIZATION AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTION

         In April 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Midland
Fabricators and Process Systems, LLC ("Midland") as a result of which, among
other things, Midland acquired the rights of the Company's lenders under the
Company's Senior Secured Credit Agreement. On August 13, 2002, pursuant to the
agreement with Midland, Midland exchanged $24.1 million outstanding under the
Company's Senior Secured Credit Agreement and $5.6 million in acquired claims of
unsecured creditors for 738 shares of our



                                        4
<PAGE>



preferred stock, a secured subordinated convertible debenture in the amount of
$10.7 million and two secured subordinated notes which total in the aggregate
$6.8 million. The debenture is convertible into the Company's common stock at a
price of $0.35 per share. Midland's 738 shares of preferred stock will be
convertible into a total of 73,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock as
soon as the shareholders authorize additional shares of common stock. The
Company also recorded additional paid in capital on the transaction of $3.7
million resulting from the discount recorded on the secured subordinated
convertible debenture, and capital contributions of $680,000 resulting from
forgiveness by Midland of penalties accrued under the Senior Secured Credit
Agreement and $914,000 resulting from partial forgiveness of the unsecured
creditor claims acquired by Midland. Further, $675,000 of the amount the Company
owed Midland under the Company's Senior Secured Credit Agreement was cancelled
in exchange for the assignment to Midland of certain accounts.

3. CONTRACTS IN PROGRESS

    Accounts receivable includes retainages and unbilled receivables,
respectively, of $773,000 and $173,000 at March 31, 2003, and of $775,000 and
$36,000 at December 31, 2002.

    The Company had contract loss reserves of $990,000 and $1,148,000 at March
31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Included in contract loss reserves
at March 31, 2003 is $113,000 related to four fixed price contracts for platform
fabrication, all of which had deliveries scheduled from April to May 2003. At
December 31, 2002, contract loss reserves included $441,000 related to two fixed
price contracts. In the March quarter, the Company recorded $79,000 in loss
reserves on new contracts. These reserves reflect the current competitive market
conditions. The remaining $877,000 contract loss reserve at March 31, 2003
relates to contracts to provide process equipment. Three of these contracts
involved systems that are being fabricated overseas. These contracts have
encountered delays in completion of fabrication and commissioning and have
resulted in cost overruns to the Company. The Company increased the loss
reserves by $117,000 on these contracts in the March quarter. These contracts
are scheduled to be completed before June 30, 2003. The remaining loss reserves
on contracts to provide process equipment were established in the March 2003
quarter on new contracts and reflect current competitive market conditions.
During the first quarter of 2003, performance on two contracts improved over
expectations and based on delivery and evaluations of the contracts the Company
reduced the related loss reserves $396,000.

         4. CREDIT FACILITY

    On November 18, 2002, the Company entered into a Commercial Business Loan
Agreement with


                                       5
<PAGE>


Whitney National Bank (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for up to $8.0
million in borrowings for working capital purposes, including up to $2.0 million
in letters of credit under a revolving credit facility. The Credit Agreement is
guaranteed by Nassau Holding Company (an affiliate of Midland), the subsidiaries
of Unifab, and the principle members of Midland, and is secured by the assets of
Universal Fabricators, LLC and Allen Process Systems, LLC, both wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company. At March 31, 2003, the Company had $5.8 million in
borrowings and $133,000 in letters of credit outstanding under the Credit
Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at Libor plus
1.75% or the Prime rate (3.2% at March 31, 2003), at the Company's discretion.
The Credit Agreement matures May 26, 2004. At March 31, 2003, cash deposits
totaling $231,000 secured outstanding letters of credit totaling $433,000.

5. INCOME TAXES

    The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes. As of March 31, 2003, the Company has recorded deferred tax
assets of $17.7 million, including $12.7 million related to net operating loss
carryforwards which, if not used, expire in years 2020 through 2023. The ability
of the Company to utilize net operating loss carryforwards is limited on an
annual basis because the Midland transaction resulted in a change in control
under the current tax regulations. The Company has recorded a valuation
allowance to offset the deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss
carryforward and other deferred tax assets that exceed deferred tax liabilities
because the Company believes that it is more likely than not that these deferred
tax assets will not be utilized.

6. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Under the terms of the Midland agreement, the Company issued 738 Series A
Preferred Shares and a $10,652,000 convertible debenture. Each share of series A
preferred stock is convertible into 100,000 shares of Unifab common stock, for a
total of 73,800,000 common shares. However, at March 31, 2003, the total number
of common shares authorized was 20,000,000, an insufficient number of authorized
common shares to effect the conversion of the preferred shares. Until converted,
each share of preferred stock enjoys all the rights and privileges of 100,000
shares of common stock, including voting rights. The denominator in the table
below gives effect to the conversion of the shares of preferred stock. The
$10,652,000 convertible debenture is convertible into Unifab common stock at a
conversion price of $0.35 per share, for a total of 30,434,000 shares of common
stock. Since the conversion price is "out-of-the-money" these shares are
anti-dilutive and are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share during periods when the Company incurs a loss.

</Table>

    Options with an exercise price greater than the average market price of the
Company's common stock for the year and options outstanding during years where
the Company incurs a net loss are anti-dilutive and, therefore, not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share. During the period ended March 31,
2003, 1,335,000 options and 60,000 warrants outstanding were anti-dilutive due
to the net loss incurred by the Company. During the period ended March 31, 2002,
835,000 options and 60,000 warrants outstanding were anti-dilutive due to the
net loss incurred by the Company.

    STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

    The Company uses the intrinsic value method of accounting for employee-based
compensation prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25
and, accordingly, follows the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." SFAS No. 123 encourages the use of fair value based method of
accounting for compensation expense associated with stock option and similar
plans. However, SFAS No. 123 permits the continued use of the intrinsic value
based method prescribed by Opinion No. 25 but requires additional disclosures,
including pro forma calculations of net earnings and earnings per share as if
the fair value method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been applied.


                                       7

    Had compensation cost for the Company's stock plans been determined based on
the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123,
the Company's net income and net income per share amounts would have
approximated the following pro forma amounts (in thousands, except per share
data):

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     LEGAL MATTERS

     In addition to the matters described below, the Company is a party to
various routine legal proceedings primarily involving commercial claims,
workers' compensation claims and claims for personal injury under the General
Maritime Laws of the United States and the Jones Act. A number of the Company's
vendors have sued the Company to collect amounts of money allegedly due to them.
These vendors are, in each case, unsecured creditors of the Company. While the
outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with
certainty, management believes that the outcome of such proceedings are not
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

     In a lawsuit filed against the Company in the 14th Judicial Court in the
Parish of Calcasieu, State of Louisiana, Professional Industrial Maintenance,
L.L.C., Don E. Spano and Kimberly Spano allege multiple claims for breach of
contract, breach of specific performance, a request for injunction, request for
damages, and a request for treble damages and attorney fees for violations of
the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act. Mr. Spano was the managing member of
Professional Industrial Maintenance, LLC, the company whose assets we acquired
in January 1998. The plaintiffs more specifically claim that 1) the accounts
receivable and cash in the bank at the time of the asset acquisition were not
conveyed as part of the transaction, 2) certain accounting adjustments should
have resulted in a credit to Mr. Spano, 3) the


                                       8
<PAGE>


Company failed to timely deliver shares of common stock to Mr. Spano as required
by the sale documents, 4) the Company failed to pay a bonus of $1,000,000 to Mr.
Spano, 5) the Company allowed the maintenance work in the petrochemical plants
to deteriorate under Mr. Spano's post transaction management, 6) the Company
defamed the Plaintiffs, 7) the Company wrongfully commingled funds belonging to
the Plaintiffs that resulted in seizure of taxes, interest and penalties, and 8)
the Company failed to pay certain debts on assets included in the transaction.
Total damages claimed by the Plaintiffs are approximately $5,000,000. The
Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. The Company has filed a
counterclaim for recovery of approximately $400,000 paid on behalf of
Professional Industrial Maintenance, LLC and Mr. Spano as a result of the
transaction. This matter will go to trial during the second half of 2003. The
outcome of this litigation is uncertain and the Company has recorded no reserve
with respect to this lawsuit.

     On March 14, 2003, the Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District (the
"Port") sent a letter to the Company alleging that the Company was not in
compliance with certain environmental and workforce provisions of the lease
agreement (the "Lease") by and between the Company and the Port for the Lake
Charles facility. The Company engaged a qualified environmental inspection
company to perform a phase one study of the premises, which was completed in the
first week of April 2003 and did not result in any material findings. The
Company intends to vigorously defend against any attempt to place the Company in
breach of the lease.

     LETTERS OF CREDIT

     In the normal course of its business activities, the Company is required to
provide letters of credit to secure performance. At March 31, 2003, cash
deposits totaling $231,000 secured outstanding letters of credit totaling
$433,000.

     EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     The Company has employment agreements with two of its officers. These
agreements terminate on February 26, 2004 and August 18, 2006, respectively. The
minimum annual compensation commitment by the Company under these agreements is
$180,000.

     LEASES

     The Company leases land, upon which portions of its structural fabrication
and process equipment fabrication facilities in New Iberia are located, under
noncancelable operating leases. The leases expire in 2003 for the structural
fabrication facility with two 10-year renewal options, and in 2009 for the
process equipment facilities with one 10-year renewal option. The Company also
leases its facility in Lake Charles under a noncancelable operating lease. The
lease expires in 2005 and has two five-year renewal options. At March 31, 2003,
the Company had approximately $10.0 million in aggregate lease commitments under
operating leases, of which $0.6 million is payable during the next twelve
months.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company provides health care benefits to its employees under a plan
that covers the employees of companies owned by Nassau Holding Company, an
affiliate of Midland ("Nassau"), including the employees of Nassau. This
insurance coverage began on November 1, 2002. In the three-month period ended
March 31, 2003, the Company incurred monthly costs of approximately $148,000 for
coverage under this plan.

     Midland provides accounting information system and reporting services to
the Company, including maintaining computer hardware and software to process
financial information and produce management reports, processing data associated
with those reports, assisting in report design and preparation, processing
operating and payroll checks, consulting assistance with the design and
implementation of financial reporting systems, and other related services.
Included in general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31,
2003 is $45,000 related to these services. These amounts had not been paid at
March 31, 2003.


                                       9
<PAGE>


     At March 31, 2002, accrued and unpaid interest owed to Midland related to
the secured, subordinated notes payable and convertible debenture was $292,000.

     Under an arrangement with the Company, Midland has agreed to provide
financial support and funding for working capital or other needs, as required.
At December 31, 2002, Midland provided a standby letter of credit to a customer
of the Company in support of a contract included in the Company's backlog at
March 31, 2003. The letter of credit is in the amount of $3.1 million and
expires on March 31, 2004. The Company reimbursed $12,600 to Midland for the
cost of the letter of credit.

     In the three-month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company executed
several contracts with Ridgelake Energy, Inc. to fabricate a platform and design
and manufacture process equipment. The total value of these contracts is $3.0
million ($0.9 million value in backlog at March 31, 2003). In the three month
period ended March 31, 2003, $1,949,000 in revenue was recognized related to
these contracts. At March 31, 2003, the Company had $1,166,00 receivable from
Ridgelake Energy, Inc. related to these contracts. Ridgelake Energy, Inc is
owned and controlled by Mr. William A. Hines, Chairman of our Board of
Directors, and his family. Two of the contracts were completed in May 2003. The
remaining two contracts are expected to be completed in August 2003.

9. INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION

     Effective January 1, 2003, the Company has three reportable segments:
structural fabrication, process systems and drilling rig fabrication. Prior to
January 1, 2003, management had concluded that the Company had operating
segments that qualified to be aggregated under SFAS No.131. With the Midland
Recapitalization and Investment transaction, management has evaluated the
changed organizational and reporting structure and has concluded that the
Company operates three reportable segments: the platform fabrication segment,
the process systems segment and the drilling rig fabrication segment. The
platform fabrication segment fabricates and assembles platforms and platform
components for installation and use offshore in the production, processing and
storage of oil and gas. The process systems segment designs and manufactures
specialized process systems and equipment related to the development and
production of oil and gas reserves. The drilling rig fabrication segment
provides fabrication services for new construction and repair of drilling rigs.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies, except that income taxes are
accounted for on a consolidated basis and deferred tax assets are managed as
corporate assets and are not recorded in the operating segments. The Company
evaluates performance based on income or loss from operations before income
taxes. Segment income (loss) is revenue less cost of revenue and selling,
general and administrative expense allocated to the operating segment. The
Company does not allocate interest expense to the operating segments.
Unallocated overhead consists primarily of corporate general and administrative
costs that the Company does not allocate to the operating segments. The Company
accounts for intersegment sales at fixed labor rates and at cost for materials
and other costs. Intersegment sales are not intended to represent current market
prices for the services provided.

<PAGE>


     The following tables show information about the revenue, profit or loss and
segment assets of each of the Company's reportable segments for the three-month
period ending March 31, 2003 and 2002. Segment assets do not include
intersegment receivable balances, as the Company believes inclusion of such
assets would not be meaningful. Segment assets are determined by their location
at period end. Some assets that pertain to the segment operations are recorded
on corporate books, such as prepaid insurance. These assets have been allocated
to the segment in a manner that is consistent with the methodology used in
recording the segment's expense.

11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting
for Asset Retirement Obligations", requires the recording of liabilities for all
legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that
result from the normal operation of those assets. These liabilities are required
to be recorded at their fair values (which are likely to be the present values
of the estimated future cash flows) in the period in which they are incurred.
SFAS No. 143 requires the associated asset retirement costs to be capitalized as
part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The asset retirement
obligation will be accreted each year through a charge to expense. The amounts
added to the carrying amounts of the assets will be depreciated over the useful
lives of the assets. The Company implemented SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003, as
required, and it did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

     In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS no. 145 eliminates SFAS No. 4
and as a result, gains and losses from extinguishments of debt should be
classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria of APB Opinion
No. 30. SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases" to eliminate an
inconsistency between the required accounting for certain lease modifications
that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS
No. 145 also updates and amends existing authoritative pronouncements to make
various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability
under changed conditions. The Company implemented SFAS No. 145 on January 1,
2003, as required, and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

     In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized
at fair value when the liability is incurred rather than at the date a plan is
committed to. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or
disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company will
implement the provisions of this statement on a prospective basis.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 elaborates on the
disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain
guarantees. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the
inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation
undertaken in issuing the guarantee. As required, the Company adopted the
disclosure requirements of FIN 45 as of December 31, 2002. The Company adopted
the initial recognition and measurement provisions on a prospective basis for
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN46"). FIN 46 requires that companies that
control another entity through interests other than voting


                                       12
<PAGE>


interests should consolidate the controlled entity. FIN 46 applies to variable
interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest
entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. The Company
implemented FIN 46 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures included elsewhere
herein and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations included as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

THE MIDLAND TRANSACTION

     On August 13, 2002, the Company and Midland Fabricators and Process
Systems, LLC closed a transaction under which Midland exchanged $24.1 million
outstanding under the Company's Senior Secured Credit Agreement and $5.6 million
in claims of unsecured creditors for 738 shares of preferred stock, a secured
subordinated debenture and two secured subordinated notes in the aggregate
amount of $17.5 million. The debenture, valued at $10.7 million, is convertible
into the Company's common stock at a price of $0.35 per share. Midland's
preferred stock will be convertible into a total of 73,800,000 shares of the
Company's common stock as soon as the shareholders authorize that common stock.
The Company also recorded additional capital contributions on the transaction of
$3.7 million resulting from the discount recorded on the convertible debenture,
$680,000 resulting from forgiveness by Midland of penalties accrued under the
Senior Secured Credit Agreement, and $914,000 resulting from partial forgiveness
of unsecured creditor claims acquired by Midland. On November 18, 2002, the
Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Agreement with the Whitney National
Bank, which is guaranteed by Nassau Holding Company (an affiliate of Midland),
the subsidiaries of Unifab, and the principle members of Midland, in accordance
with the terms of the Midland transaction.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased 3% to $9.5
million from $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Revenue
increased for the Company's platform fabrication segment. Decreased revenues
from plant maintenance and derrick fabrication services in the March 2003
quarter offset this increase. The Company no longer provides these services.
Revenue for the Company's process systems segment was approximately the same in
both the March 2003 and 2002 quarters. Backlog was approximately $19.9 million
and $22.5 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

     Total direct labor hours worked decreased 18% overall from the levels
experienced in the same period last year. Direct labor hours worked at the
Company's platform fabrication and process system facilities increased by nearly
22% from the same period last year. This increase was offset by a reduction of
approximately 53,000 direct labor hours incurred in the March 2002 quarter on
plant maintenance, derrick fabrication and drilling rig repair. There were no
labor hours incurred associated with these types of projects in the March 2003
quarter.

     Cost of revenue was $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003,
compared to $9.9 million for the same period last year. Cost of revenue consists
of costs associated with the fabrication process, including direct costs (such
as direct labor costs and raw materials) and indirect costs that can be
specifically allocated to projects (such as supervisory labor, utilities,
welding supplies and equipment costs). This decrease in costs as a percentage of
revenue in the March 2003 quarter is mainly due to increased utilization at the
Company's main operating facilities, and reduced costs due to the suspension of
operations at the Company's Lake Charles facility in 2002 offset in part by
increased repair expense related to repairs to the roof of the Company's main
fabrication building.

     Gross profit (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased to
$185,000 from a loss of $37,000 for the same period last year. Increased man
hour levels in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period last
year at the Company's main fabrication facilities caused hourly fixed overhead
rates to decrease and resulted in increased gross profit relative to revenue.

     Selling, general and administrative expense decreased to $1.2 million in
the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $1.6 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2002. This decrease is mainly due to reduced general and
administrative expenses associated with closing underutilized facilities and
overall reductions in administrative overhead and employees. The Company's
selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue decreased
to 12% in the three months ended March 31, 2003 from 16% in the same period last
year.

     Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was 16% lower
than the same period in 2002 due to reduced effective interest rates in the
March 2003 quarter. Additionally, $10.0 million outstanding under the Company's
previous secured credit agreement was exchanged for preferred stock under the
terms of the Midland agreement, reducing the principal bearing interest. This
decrease was offset in part by amortization of the discount on the secured,
subordinated debenture, which is being recorded as interest expense, and by
interest on increased borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.
These borrowings were necessary to fund working capital. In the March 2003
quarter, the Company recorded $130,000 interest expense related to amortization
of the discount on the secured subordinated debenture.

     No net income tax benefit was recognized on the net loss recorded in the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. In accordance with FAS 109,
the Company considered that it had a cumulative pre-tax loss for recent years,
which must be carried forward and used to offset future taxable income. The
ability of the Company to utilize net operating loss carryforwards is also
limited on an annual basis because the transaction with Midland resulted in a
change in control under tax regulations. The Company has recorded a valuation
allowance to offset the deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss
carryforward and other deferred tax assets that exceed net deferred tax
liabilities of the Company at March 31, 2003. The valuation allowance reflects
the Company's judgment that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax
assets will not be realized. Management will continue to assess the adequacy of
the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

     The Company has identified three reportable segments as required by SFAS
No. 131. The following discusses the results of operations for each of those
reportable segments during the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

     PLATFORM FABRICATION SEGMENT

     Revenue for the platform fabrication segment increased 36%, or $1.5
million, to $5.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $4.2 million
in the same quarter in 2002. Direct manhours in the March 2003 quarter increased
22% over the March 2002 quarter. Segment income decreased to $8,000 in the March
31, 2003 quarter from $161,000 in the same quarter in 2002. Fabrication activity
has increased over last year, although bidding for projects in this segment has
remained competitive, causing lower profit margins. Contracts to fabricate two
similar platforms were performed back to back, and the Company gained
efficiencies in construction. These efficiencies resulted in the Company
revising estimated loss reserves on the contracts and increasing segment income
in the March 2003 quarter $0.3 million. In the March 2003 quarter, segment
income was reduced by $292,000 repair expense related to the repair of the roof
on the Company's main fabrication building. Savings from the reduction of
administrative staff and the shifting of general and administrative functions to
corporate increased segment income in March 2003 over the same quarter in 2002.

     PROCESS SYSTEMS SEGMENT

     Revenue for the process systems segment was $3.7 million, approximately the
same in the March 31,


                                       14
<PAGE>


2003 and 2002 quarters. In the quarter ended March 31, 2003, direct manhours
increased 23% over the March 2002 quarter. Segment loss decreased in the March
31, 2003 quarter to $0.2 million from $0.4 million in the same quarter in 2002.
The Company has encountered delays in completion of fabrication and
commissioning of contracts to provide process equipment that are being
manufactured overseas, which have resulted in cost overruns. Included in segment
loss for the March 31, 2003 quarter were contract loss reserves of $170,000,
including $117,000 recorded on these contracts. Savings from the reduction of
administrative staff and the shifting of general and administrative functions to
corporate decreased the segment loss in the March 31, 2003 quarter by $0.1
million.

     DRILLING RIG FABRICATION SEGMENT

     Revenue for the drilling rig fabrication segment decreased to $104,000 in
the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $248,000 in the same quarter last year.
Segment loss decreased to a loss of $68,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003
from a loss of $169,000 in the same quarter last year. The Company suspended
operations in this segment prior to the Midland investment and recapitalization
transaction, and is currently developing plans to reenter this market.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Historically the Company has funded its business activities through funds
generated from operations, short-term borrowings on its revolving credit
facilities for working capital needs and individual financing arrangements for
equipment, facilities, insurance premiums, and long-term needs. During the three
months ended March 31, 2003, the Company's available funds and $3.3 million
generated from financing activities together funded cash used in operations and
investing activities of $3.2 million. Investing activities consisted mainly of
capital expenditures of $407,000.

    Capital expenditures for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003
included $213,000 related to compressors being fabricated by the Company, which
will be leased upon completion. The remaining capital expenditures related to
facilities, yard equipment and computer software and equipment.

    On November 18, 2002, the Company entered into a Commercial Business Loan
Agreement with Whitney National Bank (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides
for up to $8.0 million in borrowings for working capital purposes, including up
to $2.0 million in letters of credit under a revolving credit facility. The
Credit Agreement is guaranteed by Nassau Holding Company (an affiliate of
Midland), the subsidiaries of Unifab, and the principle members of Midland and
is secured by the assets of the Universal Fabricators, LLC and Allen Process
Systems, LLC, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. At March 31, 2003,
the Company had $5.8 million in borrowings and $133,000 in letters of credit
outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement
bear interest at Libor plus 1.75% or the Prime rate (3.2% at March 31, 2003), at
the Company's discretion. The Credit Agreement matures May 26, 2004. At March
31, 2003, cash deposits totaling $231,000 secured outstanding letters of credit
totaling $433,000.

    Management believes that its available funds, cash generated by operating
activities and funds available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to
fund its working capital needs and planned capital expenditures for the next 12
months. Additional funding may be needed as backlog grows. Management expects to
obtain such additional funding from Midland.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements included in this report and in oral statements made from time
to time by management of the Company that are not statements of historical fact
are forward-looking statements. In this report, forward-looking statements are
included primarily in the sections entitled "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The words "expect,"
"believe," "anticipate," "project," "plan," "estimate," "predict," and similar
expressions often identify forward-looking statements. Such statements may
involve risks and uncertainties and include, among other things, information as
to possible future increases in oil and gas prices and drilling activity and the
effect of current and future levels of prices and drilling activity on demand
for products and services of the Company, on the prices the Company can obtain
for its products and services and on the profitability of the Company. All such
statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results and outcomes
to differ materially from the results and outcomes predicted in the statements,
and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon them. Those factors
include, but are not limited to, the risks, contingencies and uncertainties
described immediately below:

   o  general economic and business conditions and industry trends;

   o  the economic strength of our customers and potential customers;

   o  decisions about offshore developments to be made by oil and gas companies;

   o  the highly competitive nature of our businesses;

   o  our future financial performance, including availability, terms and
      deployment of capital;

   o  the continued availability of qualified personnel;

   o  changes in, or our failure or inability to comply with, government
      regulations and adverse outcomes from legal and regulatory proceedings;

   o  changes in existing environmental regulatory matters;

   o  rapid technological changes;

   o  realization of deferred tax assets;

   o  consequences of significant changes in interest rates and currency
      exchange rates;

   o  difficulties we may encounter in obtaining regulatory or other necessary
      approvals of any strategic transactions;

   o  social, political and economic situations in foreign countries where we do
      business, including among others, countries in the Middle East;

   o  effects of asserted and unasserted claims;

   o  our ability to obtain surety bonds and letters of credit; and

   o  our ability to maintain builder's risk, liability and property insurance
      in amounts we consider adequate at rates that we consider economical,
      particularly after the impact on the insurance industry of the September
      11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company is exposed to the risk of changing interest rates and
foreign currency exchange rate risks. The Company does not use derivative
financial instruments to hedge the interest or currency risks. Interest on
approximately $23.6 million, including substantially all of the Company's debt,
was variable, based on short-term interest rates. A general increase of 1.0%
short-term market interest rates would result in additional interest cost of
$236,000 per year if the Company were to maintain the same debt level and
structure.

         The Company has a subsidiary located in the United Kingdom for which
the functional currency is the British Pound. The Company currently does not
hedge its foreign currency exposure. However, the Company may use derivative
financial instruments in the future, if deemed appropriate to hedge such risk
exposure. Historically, fluctuations in British Pound/US Dollar exchange rates
have not had a material effect on the Company. Future changes in the exchange
rate of the US Dollar to the British Pound may positively or negatively impact
earnings; however, due to the size of its operations in the United Kingdom, the
Company does not anticipate its exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations
to be material for the remainder of 2003.


                                       16

     While the Company does not currently use derivative financial instruments,
it may use them in the future if deemed appropriate.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     Within the 90-day period immediately preceding the filing of this report,
an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the
Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were sufficient to ensure that material information relating to the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries was made known to management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, during the
period in which this quarterly report was being prepared, in a timely manner
that allowed these officers to make appropriate decisions regarding required
disclosure in this Quarterly Report. Based upon this evaluation, the Company has
adopted a formal disclosure control policy, a copy of which is attached to this
Quarterly Report as Exhibit 99.3. The new policy incorporates the Company's
previous informal policies, but with the significant change that a formal
Disclosure Committee has been formed to begin operations as of the second fiscal
quarter of 2003, and each person responsible for one of the operating
subsidiaries of the Company, including the head of the Company's foreign
subsidiary, will participate as an active member of the Disclosure Committee.
The Committee is charged with determining when events, developments or other
facts involving the Company are material in nature and require disclosure to the
public. Beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2003, each member of the
Committee will also review all of the Company's public filings to determine
whether events or facts related to his or her area of operations should be
disclosed.

     PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     In addition to the matters described below, the Company is a party to
various routine legal proceedings primarily involving commercial claims,
workers' compensation claims and claims for personal injury under the General
Maritime Laws of the United States and the Jones Act. A number of the Company's
vendors have sued the Company to collect amounts of money allegedly due to them.
These vendors are, in each case, unsecured creditors of the Company. While the
outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with
certainty, management believes that the outcome of such proceedings are not
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

     In a lawsuit filed against the Company in the 14th Judicial Court in the
Parish of Calcasieu, State of Louisiana, Professional Industrial Maintenance,
L.L.C., Don E. Spano and Kimberly Spano allege multiple claims for breach of
contract, breach of specific performance, a request for injunction, request for
damages, and a request for treble damages and attorney fees for violations of
the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act. Mr. Spano was the managing member of
Professional Industrial Maintenance, LLC, the company whose assets we acquired
in January 1998. The plaintiffs more specifically claim that 1) the accounts
receivable and cash in the bank at the time of the asset acquisition were not
conveyed as part of the transaction, 2) certain accounting adjustments should
have resulted in a credit to Mr. Spano, 3) the Company failed to timely deliver
shares of common stock to Mr. Spano as required by the sale documents, 4) the
Company failed to pay a bonus of $1,000,000 to Mr. Spano, 5) the Company allowed
the maintenance work in the petrochemical plants to deteriorate under Mr.
Spano's post transaction management, 6) the Company defamed the Plaintiffs, 7)
the Company wrongfully commingled funds belonging to the Plaintiffs that
resulted in seizure of taxes, interest and penalties, and 7) the Company failed
to pay certain debts on assets included in the transaction. Total damages
claimed by the Plaintiffs are approximately $5,000,000. The Company intends to
vigorously defend the lawsuit. The Company has filed a counterclaim for recovery
of approximately $400,000 paid on behalf of Professional Industrial Maintenance,
LLC and Mr. Spano as a result of the transaction. This matter will go to trial
during the second half of 2003. The outcome of this litigation is uncertain and
the Company has recorded no reserve with respect to this lawsuit.


                                       17

     On March 14, 2003, the Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District (the
"Port") sent a letter to the Company alleging that the Company was not in
compliance with certain environmental and workforce provisions of the lease
agreement (the "Lease") by and between the Company and the Port for the Lake
Charles facility. The Company engaged a qualified environmental inspection
company to perform a phase one study of the premises, which was completed in the
first week of April 2003 and did not result in any material findings. The
Company intends to vigorously defend against any attempt to place the Company in
breach of the lease.
