"Company").  The Company was incorporated in February 1997 under the laws of the
state of Delaware.  The Company's operations are performed substantially through
its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  HAM's primary business is to provide conversion,
retrofit and repair services for offshore drilling rigs.  At June 30, 1997,
substantially all of HAM's services were conducted at a deepwater dock facility
on land leased from the Port Authority in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Friede &
Goldman's primary business is the design of offshore drilling and production
units, including jackups, semisubmersibles, drillships and floating production,
storage and offloading vessels, for new construction and with respect to upgrade
and modification projects.  Friede & Goldman's offices are located in New
Orleans, Louisiana.

In July 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering (the "Offering")
of its common stock.  Immediately prior to the consummation of the Offering, the
stockholders of HAM and Friede & Goldman contributed all of their ownership in
HAM and Friede & Goldman to the Company in exchange for shares of common stock
in the company (the "Reorganization").  During May 1997, in anticipation of the
Reorganization and the offering, the Company authorized an increase in the
amount of authorized shares to 5,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred
stock and 25,000,000 share of $0.01 par value common stock.  The Reorganization
resulted in the issuance of 9,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock to
the stockholders of HAM and Friede & Goldman.  The number of shares of common
stock of the Company received by each of the stockholders of HAM and Friede &
Goldman in the Reorganization was in proportion to each stockholder's previous
ownership percentage in both HAM and Friede & Goldman.  The issuance of shares
pursuant to the Reorganization have been reflected retroactively in the
accompanying financial statements and per share calculations.

In connection with the Offering, the Company sold 2,650,000 shares of its common
stock for net proceeds of approximately $41.4 million.  The Company currently
intends to utilize the net proceeds of the Offering to fund a portion of its
anticipated capital requirements over the next 12 to 18 months.  Pending the
Company's use of the net proceeds of the Offering, the Company repaid borrowings
under its existing revolving credit facility and invested the remaining net
proceeds from the Offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing
instruments.

3.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue on contracts on the percentage-of-completion method.
Contract revenue is earned based upon the percentage that incurred costs to
date, excluding the costs of any purchased but uninstalled materials, bear to
total estimated costs, commencing when progress reaches a point where experience
is sufficient to estimate final results with reasonable accuracy.  As contracts
extend over one or more years, revisions in costs and earnings estimates during
the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts
which require the revisions become known. Provisions for estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined.  Other changes, including those arising from contract penalty
provisions, and final contract settlements are recognized in the period in which
the revisions are determined.  Use of the percentage-of-completion method
requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented.  Actual results
could differ materially from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Prior to June 15, 1997, the HAM and Friede & Goldman were S Corporations for
Federal and state income tax purposes, and as a result, were not subject to
income taxes.  On June 15, 1997, such S Corporation status was terminated.  As a
result of termination of S Corporation status, the Company was required to
record a net deferred income tax liability through a charge to earnings of
$800,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 1997, attributable primarily
to the difference in financial reporting and tax reporting methods of accounting
for depreciation and sales-type lease.  In addition, the Company recognized
income tax expense of $450,000 for the period from June 16, 1997 through June
30, 1997, the period for which the Company was a C Corporation.

The pro forma income tax provision is the result of the application of a
combined Federal and state rate (37%) to income before income taxes.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share consists of the Company's historical net income divided by
the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding after giving retroactive
effect to the Reorganization described in Note 1 above (9,200,000 shares for all
periods presented).

Pro Forma earnings per share represents pro forma net income, after giving
effect to the pro forma provision for income taxes, divided by the weighted
average shares of common stock outstanding after giving retroactive effect to
the Reorganization described in Note 1 above (9,200,000 shares for all periods
presented).

4.   DISTRIBUTION TO STOCKHOLDERS

In connection with termination of its S Corporation status and the Offering, the
Company made distributions of $11.8 million to its shareholders of record at
June 15, 1997.  A portion of such distributions were made in the form of
property and marketable securities.  As of June 30, 1996, $9.9 million had been
distributed.  The remaining $1.9 million was distributed in July 1997.

A portion of  the stockholder distributions discussed above were made in the
form of certain property and marketable securities, net of related debt.  During
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997, the Company realized
gains of approximately $2.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, as a result
of distributions of appreciated property and marketable securities.

5.   LINE OF CREDIT

In March 1997, HAM Marine entered into a new credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") which provides for borrowings of up to $10.0 million, subject to a
borrowing base limitation equal to 80% of eligible receivables.  The Credit
Facility is secured by contract-related receivables.  In connection with
obtaining the Credit Facility, HAM Marine repaid all

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
outstanding indebtedness under the provisions of the existing credit facility
and such facility was terminated. At June 30, 1997, $4.7 million was outstanding
under the Credit Facility and the borrowing base amount was $10.0 million.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest equal to the lender's prime
lending rate plus 1/2% per annum. At June 30, 1997, the interest rate under the
Credit Facility was 9.0% per annum. The Credit Facility contains a number of
restrictions, including a provision which would prohibit the payment of
dividends by HAM Marine to the Company in the event that HAM Marine defaults
under the terms of such facility.

6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company recorded proceeds received from settlement of claims against third
parties of $3,466,635 during the first quarter of 1996 and $611,310 during the
second quarter of 1997.

In connection with the termination of certain contract labor arrangements, the
Company restructured its workmen's compensation insurance arrangements and
utilizes a different carrier from that formerly used by the contract labor
company. The insurer who provided workmen's compensation coverage to the
employment contractor has asserted that rates higher than those charged during
part of 1995, all of 1996 and through the date of termination of the contract
labor arrangement were more appropriate and has submitted billings to the labor
contractor totaling approximately $630,000.  The labor contractor believes the
original rates charged by the insurer were appropriate and its vigorously
disputing the additional billings.  No billings have been submitted to the
Company or claims asserted against the Company by the labor contractor or the
insurer.  However, it is reasonably possible that the insurer may assert a claim
against the Company.  Management of the Company is unable to assess whether such
a claim will be asserted.  Management of the Company believes that the Company
has no obligation to the insurer, and that the outcome of this matter will not
have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

The nature of the Company's activities relating to the conversion, retrofit and
repair of drilling rigs subjects its property and employees, along with the
property and employees of its customers and others, to hazards which can cause
personal injury or damage or destruction of property.  Although the Company
maintains such insurance protection as it considers economically prudent, there
can be no assurance that any such insurance will be sufficient or effective
under all circumstances or against all hazards to which the company may be
subject.  In particular, due to the high cost of errors and omissions policies
related to the design of drilling rigs and production units, the Company does
not carry insurance covering claims for personal injury, loss of life or
property damage relating to such design activity.  A successful claim for which
the Company is not fully insured could have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


INTRODUCTION

     The Company's results of operations are affected primarily by conditions
affecting offshore drilling contractors, including the level of offshore
drilling activity by oil and gas companies.  The level of offshore drilling
activity is affected by a number of factors, including prevailing and expected
oil and natural gas prices, the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering
oil and gas, the sale and expiration dates of offshore leases in the United
States and overseas, the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in offshore
areas, local and international political and economic conditions and the ability
of oil and gas companies to access or generate capital sufficient to fund
capital expenditures for offshore, exploration, development and production
activities.  Improving oil and gas price levels over the past five years have
led to increased drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico.  This increase in
drilling activity is also attributable to a number of recent industry trends,
including three-dimensional seismic mapping, directional drilling and other
advances in technology that have increased drilling success rates and efficiency
and have led to the discoveries of oil and gas in subsalt geological formations
(which generally are located in depths of 300 to 800 feet of water) and
deepwater areas of the Gulf of Mexico.  In the deepwater areas where larger and
more technically advanced drilling rigs are needed, increased drilling activity
has increased demand for retrofitting offshore drilling rigs and improved
pricing levels for such services.  In addition, increased drilling activity in
and around more mature fields in shallower waters has contributed to the
increase in demand for conversion, retrofit and repair services for jackups and
other offshore drilling rigs.

     The Company believes that the current supply of offshore drilling rigs
worldwide is inadequate to satisfy increasing demand.  From 1985 to 1996, there
has been a decrease in the number of offshore drilling rigs worldwide from 809
to 639 rigs.  The Company believes that, of the 366 jackups currently marketed
worldwide, only 47 are capable of drilling in water depths greater than 300 feet
and, of the 139 semisubmersibles currently marketed worldwide, only 25 are
capable of drilling in water depths greater than 3,000 feet.  In addition,
substantially all of the current fleet of offshore drilling rigs were built more
than ten years ago, and many of these rigs need to be converted or modified in
order to continue to operate economically or to meet the requirements for
deepwater drilling

     Due to increased demand for its services, the Company's backlog has
increased from $2.2 million at June 30, 1996 to $65.2 million at June 30, 1997.
To accommodate this increased demand, the Company has recently leased additional
acreage adjacent to its existing shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi that
provides it with additional dock space and covered fabrication capacity and has
increased its workforce from approximately 300 employees at December 1, 1996 to
approximately 1,100 employees at June 30, 1997.  In addition, the Company has
commenced construction of a state-of-the art shipyard that will be capable of
constructing new offshore drilling rigs and production units as well as
converting retrofitting and repairing existing offshore drilling rigs and
production units.  The addition of such facilities and capacity and the related
increase in workforce will cause a significant increase in the Company's costs
due to increased labor, lease rental and depreciation and amortization expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense are also
expected to increase as a result of these business growth activities.
Management expects the increases in such costs will directly correlate to
anticipated increases in revenue from increased construction, conversion,
retrofit and repair activity. If such activity does not increase to the extent
management anticipates, the Company's gross profits, operating income and net
income could be adversely impacted by such increased costs.

     For the last several years, substantially all of the Company's work force
was leased to the Company by employee leasing companies serving the Company
exclusively.  All employee leasing arrangements were terminated as of May 18,
1997, and the Company now directly employs its employees at levels of wages and
benefits substantially equivalent to those formerly provided by the employee
leasing companies.  Management of the Company believes that the costs of
directly employing its laborers will be essentially the same as the historic
cost of the employee leasing arrangement most recently terminated.  In
connection with the termination of employee leasing arrangements, the Company
restructured its workmen's compensation insurance arrangements and utilizes a
different carrier from that used by the employee leasing companies. Management
of the Company believes that the change in workmen's compensation insurance
arrangements and carriers will not result in costs which are significantly
different than those which would have been incurred under the previous
arrangements.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
     The Company generally performs conversion, retrofit and repair services
pursuant to contracts that provide for a portion of the work to be performed on
a fixed-price basis and a portion of the work to be performed on a cost-plus
basis. In addition, the scope of the services to be performed with respect to a
particular drilling rig often increases as the project progresses due to
additional retrofits or modifications requested by the customer or additional
repair work necessary to meet the safety or environmental standards established
by the Coast Guard or other regulatory authorities.  With respect to the fixed-
price portions of a project, the Company receives the negotiated contract price,
subject to adjustment only for change orders placed by the customer.  As a
result, under fixed price arrangements, the Company retains all cost savings but
is also responsible for all cost over-runs.  Under cost-plus arrangements, the
Company receives specified amounts in excess of its direct labor and materials
cost so that it is protected against cost overruns but does not benefit from
cost savings.  The cost and productivity of the Company's labor force are
primary factors affecting the Company's operating profits.  Accordingly, control
by the Company of the cost and productivity of direct labor hours worked on its
projects is essential.  The Company has developed a cost reporting system that
provides accurate cost information to the Company's project managers on a daily
basis.  The Company believes that the access to information provided in this
system allows it to better manage its current projects as well as to negotiate
contracts on new projects on a profitable basis.

     The Company's operations are subject to variations from quarter to quarter
resulting from fluctuations in demand for the Company's services and, due to the
large amounts of revenue that are typically derived from a small quantity of
projects, the timing of the receipt of awards for new projects.  In addition,
the Company schedules projects based on the timing of available capacity to
perform the services requested and, to the extent that there are delays in the
arrival of a drilling rig or production unit into the shipyard, the Company
generally is not able to utilize the excess capacity created by such delays.
Although the Company may be able to offset the effect of such delays through
adjustments to the size of its skilled labor force on a temporary basis, such
delays may adversely affect the Company's results of operations in any period in
which such delays occur.

     The Company's revenue on contracts is earned, for the most part, on the
percentage-of-completion method which is based upon the percentage that incurred
costs to date bear to total estimated costs.  Accordingly, contract price and
costs estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses, and
adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in the
accounting period in which the facts which require such adjustments become
known.  Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the
period in which such losses are determined.  Other changes, including those
arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, are
recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.  To the extent
that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously
reported profits, the Company would report such a change by recognizing a charge
against current earnings, which might be significant depending on the size of
the project or the adjustment.  Cost of revenue includes costs associated with
the fabrication process and can be further broken down between direct costs
(such as direct labor hours and raw materials) allocated to specific projects
and indirect costs (such as supervisory labor, utilities, welding supplies and
equipment costs) that are associated with production but are not directly
related to a specific project.

     Prior to June 15, 1997, each of HAM Marine, Inc. and Friede & Goldman, Ltd.
(the "Predecessors") operated as an S Corporation for federal and state income
tax purposes.  As a result, each of the Predecessors has paid no federal or
state income tax, and their earnings have been subject to tax directly at the
stockholder level.  On June 15, 1997, the stockholders of the Company and the
Predecessors terminated the S Corporation status of such entities.  As a result,
the Company and each of the Predecessors became subject to corporate level
income taxation following such termination, and the Company was required to
record a net deferred income tax liability through a charge to earnings of
approximately $0.8 million in the second quarter of 1997 attributable primarily
to the difference in financial reporting and tax reporting methods of accounting
for depreciation and sales-type leases.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1997

     During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company generated revenue
of $26.9 million, an increase of 381%, compared to the $5.6 million generated in
the three months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase reflects the substantial
increase in demand for conversion and retrofit services for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, including a greater number of relatively larger projects,
as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996.

     Cost of revenue was $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, reflecting
the significant increase in contract revenue.  Gross profit for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 was $10.2 million as compared to $1.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996.  As a percent of revenue, gross profit for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 increased as a result of the nature of the projects
being performed.  Generally, larger scale conversion and modification projects
provide an opportunity for a higher gross profit than do repair and inspection
services.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A expenses") were $3.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $1.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in SG&A expenses is
primarily the result of the expansion of the Company's administrative staff and
facilities in relation to increased contract activity.  The decline in SG&A
expenses as a percent of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996 is a result of the relatively
low level of contract activity in the three months ended June 30, 1996.

     Operating income increased to $6.7 million for the three months ended June
30, 1997, from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, reflecting
primarily the significant increase in contract revenue and related gross profit.

     Net interest expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997 compared to $0.1 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, reflecting a
slightly higher level of net borrowings by the Company.

     In the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company realized a gain of
approximately $2.5 million as a result of the distribution of certain
appreciated assets not used in the business to the Stockholder of one of the
Predecessors.  The gain on the asset sales in the three months ended June 30,
1996 relates primarily to the sale of marketable securities.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company received
approximately $3.5 million in proceeds from the settlement of a lawsuit filed in
1992 related to a contract.  During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the
Company recorded approximately $0.6 million in proceeds from the settlement of
lawsuit related to another contract.

     Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997 consists of
approximately $0.8 million attributable to the initial recording of a net
deferred tax liability upon termination of the Predecessors' S Corporation
status and $0.5 million attributable to earnings of the Company subsequent to
the termination of such status.

     The pro forma provision for income taxes is the result of the application
of a combined federal and state tax rate (37%) to estimated taxable income.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1997

     During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company generated revenue of
$45.5 million, an increase of 433%, compared to the $8.5 million generated in
the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase reflects the substantial
increase in demand for conversion and retrofit services for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, including a greater number of relatively larger projects, as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     Cost of revenue was $29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
compared to $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, reflecting the
significant increase in contract revenue.  Gross profit for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 was $16.1 million as compared to $2.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.  As a percent of revenue, gross profit for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 increased as a result of the nature of the projects being

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
performed.  Generally, larger scale conversion and modification projects provide
an opportunity for a higher gross profit than do repair and inspection services.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A expenses") were $6.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $2.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily the
result of the expansion of the Company's administrative staff and facilities in
relation to increased contract activity.  The decline in SG&A expenses as a
percent of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 1996 is a result of the relatively low level of contract
activity in the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     Operating income increased to $10.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997, compared to a small net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
reflecting primarily the significant increase in contract revenue and related
gross profit.

     Net interest expense was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997 compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, reflecting
a slightly higher level of net borrowings by the Company.

     In the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company realized gains of
approximately $3.6 million as a result of the distribution of certain
appreciated assets not used in the business to the stockholder of one of the
Predecessors.  Also, gains of approximately $0.3 million resulted from the sale
of real estate held for investment.  The gain on the asset sales in the six
months ended June 30, 1996 relates primarily to the sale of marketable
securities.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company received
approximately $3.5 million in proceeds from the settlement of a lawsuit filed in
1992 related to a contract.  Settlement proceeds of approximately $0.6 million
were received in the six months ended June 30, 1997 related to another contract.

     Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 consists of
approximately $0.8 million attributable to the initial recording of a net
deferred tax liability upon termination of the Predecessors' S Corporation
status and $0.5 million attributable to earnings of the Company subsequent to
the termination of such status.

     The pro forma provision for income taxes is the result of the application
of a combined federal and state tax rate (37%) to estimated taxable income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Historically, the Company has financed its business activities through
funds generated from operations, a credit facility secured by accounts
receivable, and long-term borrowings secured by assets purchased with proceeds
from such borrowings.  Net cash provided by operations was $1.7 million and
$10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
Net borrowings from all credit arrangements were $2.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company made
net repayments on all credit arrangements of $2.8 million.
 
     The Company's capital requirements historically have been primarily for
improvements to its facilities and related equipment.  During the six months
ended June 30, 1997, capital expenditures were approximately $4.5 million,
including approximately $1.4 million for construction of buildings and
improvements, $1.9 million for purchase of equipment, $1.0 million for
construction and improvement of additional dockspace and $0.2 million for the
purchase of office furniture and equipment.

     At June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately $7.3 million of outstanding
indebtedness, of which approximately $1.4 million is secured by a sales-type
lease under which the lessee makes payments directly to the lender.

     In March 1997, HAM Marine entered into a new credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") which provides for borrowings of up to $10.0 million, subject to a
borrowing base limitation equal to 80% of eligible receivables.  The Credit
Facility is secured by contract-related receivables.  In connection with
obtaining the Credit Facility, HAM Marine repaid all outstanding indebtedness
under the provisions of the existing credit facility and such facility was
terminated.  At June 30, 1997, $4.7 million was outstanding under the Credit
Facility and the borrowing base amount was $10.0 million.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest equal to the lender's prime
lending rate plus 1/2% per annum. At June 30, 1997, the interest rate under the
Credit Facility was 9.0% per annum. The Credit Facility contains a number of
restrictions, including a provision which would prohibit the payment of
dividends by HAM Marine to the Company in the event that HAM Marine defaults
under the terms of such facility.

     In July 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") of 2,650,000 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of
approximately $41.4 million.  The Company currently intends to utilize the net
proceeds of the Offering to fund a portion of its anticipated capital
requirements over the next 12 to 18 months of between $50 million and $65
million, including (i) approximately $29 million to construct and equip its new
shipyard, (ii) approximately $3 million for capital expenditures to increase the
productive capacity and efficiency of its existing shipyard, (iii) approximately
$3 million for research and development expenditures related to the design of
new, technologically innovative offshore drilling rigs and floating production
units, (iv) between $10 million and $20 million of additional working capital
related to increased levels of conversion, retrofit and repair activities and
new construction of offshore drilling figs and floating production units and (v)
$5 million to $10 million for general corporate purposes, which may include the
establishment of a manufacturing operation, either at the Company's shipyards or
at another location, that would be capable of constructing and assembling
components of new-build jackups or the acquisition of one or more businesses
that are complementary to the Company's operations.  The Company would expect to
fund the remaining portion of its anticipated capital requirements from cash
flow from operations, borrowings available under its existing revolving credit
facility or additional borrowings. Pending the Company's use of the net proceeds
of the Offering, the Company repaid borrowings under its existing revolving
credit facility and invested the remaining net proceeds from the Offering in
short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

     As an additional source of borrowing capacity, the Company has received a
commitment letter from MARAD specifying that, subject to the completion of
documentation and the satisfaction of certain other conditions, MARAD would
provide its guarantee, supported by the full faith and credit of the United
States, for up to $24.8 million of bonds to be issued by the Company.  The
proceeds from the sale of any MARAD guaranteed bonds may be used only for
capital expenditures relating to the costs of constructing and equipping the
Company's new shipyard.  The terms of the MARAD financing would permit the
Company to issue and sell bonds in increments.  Due to the generally favorable
interest rates and payment terms of MARAD financing, the Company anticipates
that it would sell bonds under the MARAD financing arrangement in increments as
capital expenditures are incurred with respect to the new shipyard.  Any funds
obtained from the MARAD financing would result in the availability of other
sources of capital, including proceeds from the Offering, cash from operations
and other borrowings, for use to satisfy the Company's other capital
requirements described above.  There can be no assurance that the Company will
sell any MARAD-guaranteed bonds.

     Management believes that the net proceeds from the Offering, cash generated
by operating activities, and funds available under the Credit Facility will be
sufficient to fund the construction of the new shipyard and its working capital
needs at current levels of activity; however, additional debt financing (such as
the MARAD financing) or equity financing may be required in the future if the
Company increases its conversion, retrofit and repair business or obtains orders
to construct new drilling rigs or production units.  Although the Company
believes that, under such circumstances, it would be able to obtain additional
financing, there can be no assurance that any additional debt or equity
financing will be available to the Company for these purposes or, if available,
will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company.

     In the past the Predecessors made distributions to their stockholders in
order to provide a cash return to them and to fund their federal and state
income tax liability that resulted from the S Corporation status of the
Predecessors.  In accordance with this practice, one of the Predecessors made
distributions, prior to the completion of the Offering.  Such amount was based
on the estimated federal and state income taxes payable by the stockholders of
the Predecessors on the aggregate undistributed earnings of the Predecessors
through the date of their election to terminate S Corporation status of the
Predecessors.  In addition, in March 1997, one of the predecessors made a
distribution to its stockholders of certain nonoperating assets that have a fair
market value of approximately $1.6 million in the aggregate.  In the second
quarter of 1997, one of the Predecessors also distributed to its stockholders
(i) cash of approximately $0.7 million received by such Predecessor in June 1997
in settlement of claims for unpaid amounts related to a project completed prior
to 1997 and (ii) marketable securities having a fair market value of
approximately $6.4 million.  In connection with the distribution of marketable
securities, such stockholders assumed the related margin account indebtedness of
approximately $2.7 million.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), "Earnings
Per Share," which adopts a revised methodology for computing earnings per share
for publicly owned companies.  The Company will be required to adopt the new
methodology in the fourth quarter of 1997 and could also be required to restate
previously reported amounts.  Early adoption of SFAS No. 128 is not permitted.
The Company does not expect the application of SFAS No. 128 to materially change
the Company's reported earnings per share.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 130 ("SFAS No. 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 130 will require
the company to (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature
in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid in
capital.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 131 ("SFAS No. 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," which is effective for periods beginning after December
15, 1997.  SFAS No. 131 will require the Company to report financial and
descriptive information about its operating segments.

                          FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other
than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-Q, are forward-
looking statements.  Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain
risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including (i) risks of reduced levels of
demand for the Company's products and services resulting from reduced levels of
capital expenditures of oil and gas companies relating to offshore drilling and
exploration activity and reduced levels of capital expenditures of offshore
drilling contractors, which levels of capital expenditures may be affected by
prevailing oil and natural gas prices, expectations about future oil and natural
gas prices, the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas, the
sale and expiration dates of offshore leases in the United States and overseas,
the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves in offshore areas, local and
international political and economic conditions, the ability of oil and gas
companies to access or generate capital sufficient to fund capital expenditures
for offshore exploration, development and production activities, and other
factors, (ii) risks related to expansion of operations, including those related
to the expansion of the Company's existing shipyard, the acquisition of a rig
design business, the establishment of a new shipyard and the possible
establishment of additional manufacturing operations, either at its shipyards or
one or more other locations, (iii) operating risks relating to conversion,
retrofit and repair of drilling rigs, new construction of drilling rigs and
production units and the design of new drilling rigs, (iv) contract bidding
risks, (v) risks related to dependence on significant customers, (vi) risks
related to the failure to realize the level of backlog estimated by the Company
due to determinations by one or more customers to change or terminate all or
portions of projects included in such estimation of backlog and (vii) risks
related to regulatory and environmental matters, in each case as described in
more detail in the Company's Registration Statement declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 1997.  Should one or more of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated
or projected. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in
such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that
such expectations will prove to have been correct.
