              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND CRITICAL 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 and the Middle East and the Far East.

    The Company operates in the facilities obtained with the acquisition of each
operating subsidiary. These facilities are similar in nature and provide the
physical environment necessary for the Company to provide its custom fabrication
services to the oil and gas industry. Management has concluded that the
operating facilities are operating segments that qualify to be aggregated under
SFAS 131 in these financial statements. Management has considered that that
nature of the products and services provided by the Company and the nature of
the production processes are similar for each operating segment. The types or
class of customers, and our methods of distributing our products and providing
our services are similar for all operating segments. The tables below summarize
revenues from external customers for our products.

</Table>


      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
September 30, 2002, it was anticipated that substantially all contracts in
progress, and receivables associated therewith, would be completed and collected
within a 12-month period.

    The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates,
including those related to revenue recognition and long-lived assets. The
Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions


                                       5
<PAGE>


that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The
Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated
financial statements.

         Revenue from construction contracts, which are typically of short
duration, are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by
relating actual labor cost, labor and subcontract cost, or total estimated
contract costs for work performed to date to the estimated total labor cost,
total labor and subcontract cost or total contract cost of the respective
contract. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those
indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor,
supplies, and repairs. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
Significant changes in cost estimates due to adverse market conditions or poor
contract performance could affect estimated gross profit, possibly resulting in
a contract loss.

    The Company's customers are principally major and large independent oil and
gas companies and drilling companies. This concentration of customers may impact
our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that
our customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other
conditions. Reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable are evaluated
periodically against specific accounts that are known to be uncollectible.
Increases in the reserves for uncollectible accounts are charged to operating
results in the period they are identified. Receivables are generally not
collateralized. Significant adverse changes in the economic environment of the
oil and gas industry could result in materially lower collectibility of recorded
receivables and could require a charge for uncollectible accounts in the future.

    Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of
long- lived assets by determining whether the carrying values can be recovered
through projected net cash flows undiscounted and without interest charges,
based on expected operating results over their remaining lives. Future adverse
market conditions or poor operating results could result in the inability to
recover the current carrying value of the long-lived asset, thereby possibly
requiring an impairment charge in the future.

    Income taxes have been provided using the liability method. Deferred income
taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
amounts used for income tax purposes. The amount of future income tax assets
recognized is limited to the amount of benefit that is more likely than not to
be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire
deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the
deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, the
likelihood of future taxable income and tax planning strategies when making this
assessment. Based on this assessment, the Company records a valuation allowance
against deferred tax assets that are more likely than not unrealizable. The
amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be
reduced in the future if taxable income is not available to allow for the
deduction of the deferred tax assets.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    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.

    Certain items, including impairment of goodwill, loss on disposal of
equipment and closure of facility, provision for a bad debt, and commitment
fees, have been reclassified from the prior year presentation and included in
loss from operations in the Condensed, Consolidated Statement of Operations.
This has increased the loss from operations previously reported from $95,000 and
$2,002,000 to $3,042,000 and $7,706,000 for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2001, respectively. The reclassification of these amounts
had no effect on the loss before income taxes or the net loss reported in the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001.

3.   MIDLAND AGREEMENT

    In April 2002, the Company entered into a preferred stock purchase, debt
exchange and modification agreement with Midland Fabricators and Process
Systems, L.L.C. ("Midland") (the "Midland agreement"). William A. Hines, who is
now the chairman of the board of directors of the Company, is a manager of, and
the owner of a 45.5% membership interest in, Midland. The remaining membership
interest in Midland is owned by members of Mr. Hines' family. The terms of the
Midland agreement were determined by arm's length negotiation between the
Company's senior management team and its representatives, and Mr. Hines and his
representatives. Mr. Hines had been the principal shareholder of Allen Tank,
Inc., which was acquired by the Company in 1998. From the time of that
acquisition in 1998 until March 2001, Mr. Hines served as a director of the
Company. At the time of negotiating and entering into the Midland agreement, Mr.
Hines held no position with the Company. Upon consummating the Midland agreement
in August 2002, Mr. Hines became Chairman of the Board of Directors.

         Pursuant to the Midland agreement and prior to its consummation on
August 13, 2002:

     o       The Company consented to Midland's acquisition of the rights of the
         lenders under the Company's credit agreement dated November 30, 1999,
         as amended, with Bank One, Louisiana, N.A. and three other commercial
         banks. On May 1, 2002, Midland acquired the rights of those lenders
         under the credit agreement for $13.9 million in cash, the source of
         which was capital contributions from its members. On that date, the
         total amount of principal, accrued interest and penalties owing under
         the credit agreement was $21.3 million. Thereafter, and prior to the
         consummation of the Midland agreement, Midland advanced the Company
         $2.8 million for working capital needs and to establish a cash
         collateral account with Bank One to secure outstanding letters of
         credit.

     o       Midland acquired unsecured creditor claims in the amount of $5.6
         million. Midland's acquisition cost for these claims was an aggregate
         of $2.9 million, including payments made to the unsecured creditors,
         fees paid to a collection agent and attorneys' fees. Midland's source
         of these payments was capital contributions from its members.

     o       Midland agreed to guarantee a line of credit. On November 18, 2002
         the Company established an $8.0 million line of credit with a
         commercial bank. Nassau Holding Company, an affiliate of Midland, the
         subsidiaries of Unifab, and the principle members of Midland guarantee
         of the Company's obligations under it.

     o       The Company entered into agreements, effective April 2002,
         terminating the employment agreement of Dailey J. Berard, who was then
         a director of the Company and was formerly chairman of the board,
         president and chief executive officer of the Company, and the
         consulting agreement of Jerome E. Chojnacki, who was then the chairman
         of the board, president and chief executive officer; in exchange for
         the termination of their agreements, the Company made one-time cash
         payments of $75,000 to each of Messrs. Berard and Chojnacki. Also
         effective April 2002, the Company obtained the resignation of Mr.
         Berard as a director, and the resignation of Mr. Chojnacki as Chairman
         of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer.


                                       7

     o       Midland agreed to use its best efforts to continue the listing of
         the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for a period of
         at least two years following consummation of the Midland agreement.

     o       Midland agreed to cause its designees to the board of directors to
         approve the calling of a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of
         voting on an increase in the authorized number of shares of the
         Company's common stock, and to approve a rights offering. Midland also
         agreed to vote its shares in favor of the proposed increase in the
         authorized number of the Company's shares.

              Upon consummation of the Midland agreement on August 13, 2002:

     o       $10.0 million owed Midland under the credit agreement was cancelled
         in exchange for 738 shares of the Company's series A preferred stock.
         Each share of this preferred stock has voting rights equal to 100,000
         shares of the Company's common stock, and will convert into 100,000
         shares of the Company's common stock when the authorized number of the
         Company's unissued and unreserved common shares is at least 100
         million, as will occur if approved by the Company's shareholders.

     o       $12.8 million owed Midland under the credit agreement was converted
         into the following, which continue to constitute secured indebtedness
         under the credit agreement: (i) a convertible debenture in the
         principal amount of $10.6 million payable in five equal annual
         installments, bearing interest at Wall Street Journal Prime (that is,
         the prime rate of interest reported in the Wall Street Journal in its
         daily table of "Money Rates") plus 2.5 percentage points (7.25% at
         September 30, 2002) and convertible into shares of the Company's common
         stock at $0.35 per share (the closing price of the Company's common
         stock on the Nasdaq National Market on March 6, 2002, the date the
         negotiations on the expected terms of the convertible debenture and the
         rights were concluded); and (ii) a promissory note in the principal
         amount of $2.1 million (the amount of the advances made by Midland to
         the Company after entering into the Midland agreement), which is
         payable August 13, 2005 and bears interest at the rate of Wall Street
         Journal Prime plus 3.0 percentage points (7.75% at September 30, 2002).
         The Company has recorded $3.7 million discount on the face value of the
         convertible debenture, which represents the intrinsic value of the
         beneficial conversion feature of the debenture and equals the
         difference between $0.35, the conversion price per share, and $0.47,
         the closing price per share of Unifab International, Inc. common stock
         on August 13, 2002, the date of issuance of the convertible debenture.
         This discount is being amortized as interest expense from August 13,
         2002 and August 13, 2010, the maturity date of the debenture. Included
         in interest expense in the September 30, 2002 quarter is $70,000
         related to amortization of this discount.

     o       Midland transferred to the Company the claims it had acquired from
         the Company's unsecured creditors in the amount of $5.6 million. In
         exchange for these claims, the Company delivered to Midland a
         promissory note in the principal amount of $4.7 million, and recorded a
         contribution to additional paid in capital of $914,000, which
         represents claims of unsecured creditors acquired by Midland which were
         forgiven by Midland. The promissory note is payable August 13, 2006,
         and bears interest at the rate of Wall Street Journal Prime plus 3.0
         percentage points (7.75% at September 30, 2002). This promissory note
         also constitutes secured indebtedness under the Company's credit
         agreement with Midland.

     o       $675,000 of the amount the Company owed Midland under the credit
         agreement was cancelled in exchange for the assignment to Midland of
         certain accounts in the amount of $1,191,000 against which the Company
         had established reserves of approximately $516,000. The Company has
         recorded a $675,000 reduction in the indebtedness under the credit
         agreement.

     o       $680,000 of the amount the Company owed Midland under the credit
         agreement (substantially all of which consisted of penalties accrued
         under the terms of the amended credit agreement) was forgiven by
         Midland, resulting in a contribution to additional paid in capital of
         $680,000. Midland waived all defaults under the credit agreement.

     o       Charles E. Broussard resigned from the Company's board of
         directors, and the remaining directors, Perry Segura and George C. Yax,
         appointed Mr. Hines, Frank J. Cangelosi, Jr., William A. Downey, Daniel
         R. Gaubert, Donald R. Moore and Allen C. Porter, Jr., all designated by
         Midland, as members of the board.

    Accrued and unpaid interest on all amounts owed to Midland was approximately
$371,000 at September 30, 2002, which was paid subsequent to September 30, 2002.

5.   CREDIT FACILITY

    On November 18, 2002, the Company entered into a Commercial Business Loan
with Whitney National Bank (the "Credit Agreement"), guaranteed by Nassau
Holding Company, an affiliate of Midland, the subsidiaries of Unifab, and the
principle members of Midland and secured by all of the assets of the Company,
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. At January 22, 2003, the Company had borrowings of $2.7
million, and no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at Libor plus 1.75% or the
Prime rate, at the Company's discretion. The Credit Agreement matures May 13,
2003.

6.   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 September 30, 2002, the Company has recorded deferred
tax assets of $14.3 million, including $11.1 million related to net operating
loss carryforwards that expire in years 2020 through 2022. In accordance with
FAS 109, the Company considered that since it had a cumulative pre-tax loss for
recent years it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ability of the Company to utilize these net
operating loss carryforwards is also limited on an annual basis because the
transaction with Midland described above results in a change in control under
the current tax regulations. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to
fully offset the deferred tax asset related to the operating loss carryforwards
to the extent it exceeds net deferred tax liabilities. Management will continue
to assess the adequacy of the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis.

7.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     COMMON STOCK

     The Company has authorized 20,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common
stock.

     PREFERRED STOCK

     The Company has authorized 5,000 shares of no par value preferred stock. On
April 23, 2002, the Board of Directors adopted Articles of Amendment to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation which authorized that 750 shares of
preferred stock are designated Series A Participating Preferred Stock (the
"Series A Shares"). Each Series A Share shall entitle the holder to vote as
100,000 shares of common stock, shall have no preference to the common shares on
the payment of dividends or the liquidation or winding up of the Company. If the
Company pays a dividend to the holders of its common shares, each Series A Share
shall entitle the holder to a dividend equal to 100,000 times the dividend paid
on each share of common stock. In any liquidation or winding up of the Company,
will entitle the holder to 100,000 times the amount paid on each share of common
stock. In all other ways, each series A Share shall be treated like 100,000
shares of common stock. If at any time the Company has authorized at least
100,000,000 shares of common stock that have not been issued or reserved for
issuance pursuant to an outstanding obligation of the Company, then each Series
A Share will be converted into 100,000 shares of common stock. On August 13,
2002 under the terms of the Midland Transaction, the Company issued 738 Series A
Shares.

     EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Under the terms of the Midland agreement, the Company issued 738 Series A
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 or 73,800,000
total common shares. However, at September 30, 2002, the total number of common
shares authorized is 20,000,000, therefore, there are insufficient 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 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, or 30,434,000 shares of common stock. These shares are
anti-dilutive and are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share during periods where the Company incurs a loss.

     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 periods ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, 862,000 options and 60,000 warrants outstanding
were anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred by the Company.

8.   IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND GOODWILL

     Goodwill is acquired in business combinations accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and is amortized on a straight-line basis over
15-30 years for financial statement purposes. The lives used to amortize
goodwill is based on Management's evaluation of the acquisition and limitations,
if any, on the source of the goodwill. In the September 2001 quarter, the
Company recorded a charge of $14.8 million recognizing the impairment of
substantially all of the goodwill on the acquisitions of OBI, Unifab
International West and Allen Process Systems Limited. Due to the economic
conditions in the oil and gas services industry, the delay in the expected
recovery to profitable operations and the decision to close the Company's barge
repair facility in New Iberia, the Company evaluated the likelihood that
goodwill would be recovered. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined
that goodwill was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $14.8 million.
The Company's evaluation of the recovery of goodwill was based on estimated
future cash flows related to the associated businesses. The write down was to
fair value of the related businesses based on discounted cash flows or the
estimated fair value of certain facilities.

     In the September 2001 quarter, the Company recorded $2.8 million in costs
related to the closure of the OBI barge repair facility in New Iberia. These
costs include a $1.5 million loss on the disposal of excess drilling equipment
acquired in the acquisition of OBI. The sale of these assets raised $612,000,
which was received in October 2001 and was used to reduce the amounts
outstanding under the Company's credit facility and related liabilities. The
remaining $1.3 million relates to completing contracts in progress and winding
down of the OBI facility.

     In the June 2002 quarter, the Company terminated the remaining lease with
the Port of Iberia for the OBI repair yard and facilities and transferred title
for all buildings and leasehold improvements at the facility in full settlement
of the remaining obligations under the lease. The Company recorded a $477,000
loss on the transfer, which was the remaining net book value of the buildings
and leasehold improvements on the facility at the date of termination of the
lease. In the June 2002 quarter, the Company recorded an impairment charge of
$253,000 on assets formerly used at the OBI facility, which have no remaining
utility to the Company.

9.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     LEGAL MATTERS

     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. While the outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims
cannot be predicted with certainty; management believes that the outcome of all
such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition.

     LETTERS OF CREDIT

     In the normal course of its business activities, the Company is required to
provide letters of credit to secure performance. At September 30, 2002, cash
deposits totaling $1.1 million secured outstanding letters of credit totaling
$1.3 million.

     INSURANCE

     The Company maintains insurance against risks that we believe is consistent
with industry standards and required by our customers. Although Management
believes this insurance protection is adequate, we cannot be sure that the
Company will be able to maintain adequate insurance at rates which are
commercially reasonable, nor that coverage is adequate to cover all claims that
may arise. The insurance policies that are currently in place do not cover
claims arising from acts of terrorism. At this time the Company is reviewing
insurance that would cover claims arising from acts of terrorism. However, we
cannot be sure that such insurance will be available at rates that are
commercially reasonable.

     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
annual compensation commitment by the Company under these agreements is
$180,000.

10.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS ") No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from
an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill,
including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, ceased upon adoption
of this statement. In the September 2001 quarter, a write down of $14.8 million
for the impairment of goodwill was recognized. Goodwill remaining on the balance
sheet after the impairment write down is not significant and adoption of SFAS
No. 142 will have no impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

     In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization
of goodwill upon the adoption of this statement on January 1, 2002. A
reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to the
amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill amortization net of tax follows:

     The carrying amount of goodwill as of September 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001, is approximately $260,000 and is entirely attributable to the Company's
June 24, 1999 acquisition of Compression Engineering Services, Inc.

     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 is
required to implement SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. Based on current
expectations the Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 143 to
have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

     SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets," promulgates standards for measuring and recording impairments of
long-lived assets. Additionally, this standard establishes requirements for
classifying an asset as held for sale, and changes existing accounting and
reporting standards for discontinued operations and exchanges for long-lived
assets. The Company implemented SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002, which did not
have a material effect on its 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 nullifies Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94- 3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity," under which
a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity's
commitment to an exit plan. 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. The provisions of this statement are effective for
exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.

                     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.

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 September 30, 2002 decreased 71% to $5.8
million from $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. For
the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, revenue was $24.1
million and $64.5 million, respectively, a decrease in the current period of
63%. This decrease is primarily due to reduced barge and jack up rig repair
operations and reduced newbuild liftboat activities resulting from the closure
of the Company's OBI facilities at the Port of Iberia and the suspension of
operations at its deepwater facility in Lake Charles. Revenue levels for the
Company's structural fabrication, process system design and fabrication and
international project management and design services are approximately forty
percent of those in the same period last year. During the first nine months of
the year, the Company has experienced reduced opportunities to bid on projects
and was eliminated from bidding on various projects as a result of the
substantial deterioration of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations experienced during the 2001 fiscal year. Further, the Company was
unable to post sufficient collateral to secure performance bonds and as a result
was unable to qualify to bid on various contracts. At September 30, 2002,
backlog was approximately $4.2 million. On August 13, 2002 the Company completed
a debt restructuring and recapitalization transaction with Midland substantially
improving the financial position, working capital and liquidity of the Company.
Since August 13, 2002, there has been a substantial increase in proposal
activity in the Company's main fabrication and process equipment markets. In
addition, the Company's capacity to provide performance bonds on projects has
improved significantly. As a result, backlog at December 17, 2002 is
approximately $24.2 million.

     Total direct labor hours worked decreased 65% overall from the levels
experienced in the same period last year. Direct labor hours worked at the
Company's structural fabrication and process system design and fabrication
facilities decreased by nearly 59% from the same period last year. Direct labor
hours at the Company's drilling rig fabrication facilities were eliminated with
the closure of the OBI facility.

     Cost of revenue was $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30,
2002 compared to $18.4 million for the same period last year. For the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, cost of sales was $26.7 million and
$61.1 million, respectively. 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 increase in


                                       14
<PAGE>


costs as a percentage of revenue in the September quarter includes a $508,000
adjustment to workers comp insurance expense related to an increase in claims
incurred, $145,000 depreciation of facilities and equipment at the Lake Charles
facility at which operations have been suspended, the write off of $174,000 the
remaining recorded value on waste water process equipment manufactured by the
Environmental division and the very low level of activity at the Company's
process equipment facility which did not generate sufficient profit margin to
recover fixed operating costs. In the September 2002 quarter, a loss reserve of
$194,000 was recorded on a fixed price contract to fabricate power plant
components. The contract was completed and delivered in December 2002. In
addition the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 includes an adjustment
of $550,000 recorded in the June 2002 quarter related to disputes on several
contracts. Also in the June quarter, the Company recorded in cost of revenue
valuation reserves totaling $387,000 mainly on waste water process equipment
manufactured by the Environmental division, steel inventory used to manufacture
drilling rig derricks, and small parts inventory. The Company also recorded an
impairment charge of $253,000 on assets formerly used at the OBI facility, which
have no remaining utility to the Company. The Company is actively seeking
alternative sources of capital to sustain the development and operations of the
facility in Lake Charles, including partnering with another entity, obtaining
separate capital financing for the facility and other capital raising methods.
In the event these methods are unsuccessful, the Company may sell the facility.
If the facility is sold, it is likely the Company would not fully recover the
cost of construction of the facility, which is approximately $10.5 million net
of depreciation at September 30, 2002,and would record a loss on the sale that
would be material to the operating results of the Company.

     Gross profit (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2002 decreased
to a loss of $1.6 million from a profit of $1.6 million for the same period last
year. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 gross profit (loss)
decreased to a loss of $2.7 million from a profit of $3.4 million in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in gross profit is
primarily due costs in excess of revenue for the Company's process system design
and fabrication services and at the Company's deep water facility in Lake
Charles, Louisiana and adjustments of $550,000 related to disputes on several
contracts, $387,000 related to valuation reserves on inventory, and $253,000
related to a charge for asset impairment. The effect of these adjustments was
offset in part by a $1.1 million contract loss reserve recorded last year.
Additionally, decreased man hour levels in the quarter and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same periods last year at the Company
facilities caused hourly fixed overhead rates to increase and resulted in
increased costs relative to revenue.

     Selling, general and administrative expense decreased to $1.4 million in
the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $1.7 million in the three
months ended September 30, 2001, and decreased to $4.7 million in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2002 compared to $5.5 million in the corresponding
nine-month period in 2001. In the September quarter, this decrease is mainly due
to reduced general and administrative expenses associated with closing the OBI
and Lake Charles facilities. These cost reductions are offset in part with
increased legal and other professional services due to the negotiations and
documentation of the Midland transaction. In addition, the Company has had to
defend several lawsuits brought by unsecured creditors for amounts past due.
With respect to the nine months ended September 30, 2002, selling, general and
administrative expenses include $150,000 related to the termination and
settlement of the employment contracts of two former executive officers of the
Company. The Company's selling, general and administrative expense as a
percentage of revenue increased to 24% in the three months ended September 30,
2002 from 8% in the same period last year, and to 19% in the nine month period
ended September 30, 2001 from 8% in the same period last year, due mainly to the
above factors and the significant decrease in revenue levels relative to those
periods.

     In the nine months ended September 30, 2002 the Company recorded a loss of
$477,000 related to the transfer of ownership of the buildings and other
leasehold improvements on the Company's drilling rig repair facilities at the
Port of Iberia in exchange for termination of the leases and cancellation of all
amounts owed under those leases. During the June 2002 quarter, the Company sold
the industrial maintenance business and related assets and recorded a gain of
$126,000 on the sale.

     Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2002 were lower than the same period in 2001 due to reduced effective interest
rates in the September 2002 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 was offset in part by amortizing the discount recorded on
the secured, subordinated debenture recorded on the Midland transaction. In the
September


                                       15
<PAGE>


2002 quarter and nine month periods, the Company recorded $70,000 interest
expense related to amortization of this discount.

     No net income tax benefit was recognized on the net loss recorded in the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 compared to an income tax
expense of $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2001 and $1.3
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001. 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 described above
results 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 operating loss generated in the quarter, which exceeds net deferred tax
liabilities of the Company at September 30, 2002. The valuation allowance
reflects the Company's judgment that it is more likely than not that a portion
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management will continue to
assess the adequacy of the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis.

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 improvements, insurance premiums, and long-term needs.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company generated cash from
operations of $1,757,000, from investment activities of $93,000, and from
financing activities of $179,000.

    In April 2002, we entered into a preferred stock purchase, debt exchange and
modification agreement with Midland (the "Midland agreement"). Pursuant to the
Midland agreement and with our consent, Midland's acquired the rights of the
lenders under the credit agreement dated November 30, 1999, as amended, with
Bank One, Louisiana, N.A. and three other commercial banks. Thereafter, and
prior to the consummation of the Midland agreement, Midland advanced to us $2.8
million used to meet working capital needs and to secure obligations under
outstanding letters of credit. Midland also acquired unsecured creditor claims
in the amount of $5.6 million.


Upon consummation of the Midland agreement on August 13, 2002:

   o       $10.0 million owed Midland under the credit agreement was cancelled
       in exchange for 738 shares of the Company's series A preferred stock.
       Each share of this preferred stock has voting rights equal to 100,000
       shares of the Company's common stock, and will convert into 100,000
       shares of the Company's common stock when the authorized number of the
       Company's unissued and unreserved common shares is at least 100
       million, as will occur if approved by the Company's shareholders.

   o       $12.8 million owed Midland under the credit agreement was converted
       into the following, which continue to constitute secured indebtedness
       under the credit agreement: (i) a convertible debenture in the principal
       amount of $10.6 million payable in five equal annual installments,
       bearing interest at Wall Street Journal Prime (that is, the prime rate of
       interest reported in the Wall Street Journal in its daily table of "Money
       Rates") plus 2.5 percentage points (7.25% at September 30, 2002) and
       convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at $0.35 per share
       (the closing price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq National
       Market on March 6, 2002, the date the negotiations on the expected terms
       of the convertible debenture and the rights were concluded); and (ii) a
       promissory note in the principal amount of $2.1 million (the amount of
       the advances made by Midland to the Company after entering into the
       Midland agreement), which is payable August 13, 2005 and bears interest
       at the rate of Wall Street Journal Prime plus 3.0 percentage points
       (7.75% at September 30, 2002). The Company has recorded $3.7 million
       discount on the face value of the convertible debenture, which represents
       the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the debenture
       and equals the difference between $0.35, the conversion price per share,
       and $0.47, the closing price per share of Unifab International, Inc.
       common stock on August 13, 2002, the date of issuance of the convertible
       debenture. This discount is being amortized as interest expense from
       August 13, 2002 and August 13, 2010, the maturity date of the debenture.
       Included in interest expense in the September 30, 2002 quarter is $70,000
       related to amortization of this discount.


                                       16

   o       Midland transferred to the Company the claims it had acquired from
       the Company's unsecured creditors in the amount of $5.6 million. In
       exchange for these claims, the Company delivered to Midland a promissory
       note in the principal amount of $4.7 million, and recorded a contribution
       to additional paid in capital of $914,000, which represents claims of
       unsecured creditors acquired by Midland which were forgiven by Midland.
       The promissory note is payable August 13, 2006, and bears interest at the
       rate of Wall Street Journal Prime plus 3.0 percentage points (7.75% at
       September 30, 2002). This promissory note also constitutes secured
       indebtedness under the Company's credit agreement with Midland.

   o       $675,000 of the amount the Company owed Midland under the credit
       agreement was cancelled in exchange for the assignment to Midland of
       certain accounts in the amount of $1,191,000 against which the Company
       had established reserves of approximately $516,000. The Company has
       recorded a $675,000 reduction in the indebtedness under the credit
       agreement.

   o       $680,000 of the amount the Company owed Midland under the credit
       agreement (substantially all of which consisted of penalties accrued
       under the terms of the amended credit agreement) was forgiven by Midland,
       resulting in a contribution to additional paid in capital of $680,000.
       Midland waived all defaults under the credit agreement.

   o       Charles E. Broussard resigned from the Company's board of directors,
       and the remaining directors, Perry Segura and George C. Yax, appointed
       Mr. Hines, Frank J. Cangelosi, Jr., William A. Downey, Daniel R. Gaubert,
       Donald R. Moore and Allen C. Porter, Jr., all designated by Midland, as
       members of the board.

    Accrued and unpaid interest on all amounts owed to Midland was approximately
$371,000 at September 30, 2002, which was paid subsequent to September 30, 2002.

    On November 18, 2002, the Company entered into a Commercial Business Loan
with Whitney National Bank (the "Credit Agreement"), guaranteed by Nassau
Holding Company, an affiliate of Midland, the subsidiaries of Unifab, and the
principle members of Midland and secured by all of the assets of the Company,
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. At September 30, 2002, the Company had no borrowings or letters
of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the
Credit Agreement bear interest at Libor plus 1.75% or the Prime rate, at the
Company's discretion. The Credit Agreement matures May 13, 2003. At September
30, 2002, cash deposits totaling $1.1 million secured outstanding letters of
credit totaling $1.3 million.

     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 and for the next
12 months.

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 $17.6 million, including substantially all of the Company's notes
payable, subordinated notes payable and convertible debenture, 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 $176,000 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 typically does not
hedge its foreign currency 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 2002.

     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 its 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 concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and
procedures ensures that material information relating to the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, particularly during the period in
which this quarterly report was being prepared in a timely manner to allow
appropriate decisions regarding required disclosure flows. No significant
changes were made to our internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of this evaluation.

     PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     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. While the outcome of these lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims
cannot be predicted with certainty; management believes that the outcome of all
such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

     On November 6, 2002 the Company announced the approval by the Board of
Directors of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the Company's
new independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

     This report on Form 10-Q is accompanied by a statement of the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the registrant making
certain certifications as to the contents hereof, as required by Section 906 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
