GULF ISLAND FABRICATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE MONTH

PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE 1  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the Company), is a leading fabricator of offshore drilling and production platforms and other specialized structures used in the development
and production of offshore oil and gas reserves. The Companys corporate offices and two major subsidiaries are located in Houma, Louisiana, and another major subsidiary is located in San Patricio County, Texas. The Company's principal markets
are concentrated in the offshore regions and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Structures and equipment fabricated by the Company include jackets and
deck sections of fixed production platforms; hull, tendon, and/or deck sections of floating production platforms (such as TLPs, SPARs, FPSOs and MinDOCs); piles; wellhead protectors; subsea templates; various production, processing, compressor and
utility modules; offshore living quarters; brown water towboats; tanks and barges. The Company also provides services such as offshore interconnect pipe hook-up; inshore marine construction; manufacture and repair of pressure vessels; heavy lifts
such as ship integration and TLP module integration, loading and offloading jack-up drilling rigs, semi-submersible drilling rigs, TLPs, SPARs or other similar cargo; steel warehousing and sales; onshore and offshore scaffolding and piping
insulation services.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles 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
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Certain items in 2007 have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 financial statement presentation.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2007.

NOTE 2  CONTINGENCIES

In December 2004, we received notice from Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) that the Corrective Action Plan submitted in
October 2004 was not acceptable. The Corrective Action Plan was developed to provide remediation to several isolated areas located on property we sold in 2001. In mid 2005, the LDEQ approved a sampling plan with the proposed

##### Index to Financial Statements

sampling to begin in September of 2005. Due to the hurricanes that struck the Louisiana coast in 2005, the scheduled sampling was cancelled. In mid October
2006, the sampling was completed. This sampling plan was rejected by the LDEQ in April 2008. We submitted a revised sampling plan to LDEQ on June 25, 2008 and await their review. At September 30, 2008, we included in Accrued Expenses
$450,000 compared to $230,000 at December 31, 2007, which is the current estimated cost to remediate the site and includes professional fees such as engineering and consulting costs.

At September 30, 2008, we have recorded $7.6 million in Other Receivables as the result of two insurance claims. The insurance
claims are for damages and related cost for an accident in our Texas facility involving four cranes and the damages related to the hurricanes that recently struck the Gulf Coast.

NOTE 3  LINE OF CREDIT AND NOTES PAYABLE

Effective August 6, 2008, we entered into the
Seventh Amendment to the Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Revolver) which, among other things, increased the amount of the Revolver from $50 million to $60 million and extended the term of the Revolver from
December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010. The Revolver is secured by our real estate, machinery and equipment, and fixtures, and amounts borrowed under the Revolver bear interest, at our option, at the prime lending rate established by
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or LIBOR plus 1.5%. We pay a fee on a quarterly basis of three-sixteenths of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused portion of the Revolver. At September 30, 2008, no amounts were borrowed under the
Revolver, but we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $32.9 million, which reduced the unused portion of the Revolver. More of our customers, especially in larger fabrication projects, are requiring us to issue letters of credit in lieu of
retainage. Thus, the Company is issuing letters of credit for larger amounts and for longer periods of time than it did in past years. We are required to maintain certain covenants, including balance sheet and cash flow ratios. As of
September 30, 2008, we were in compliance with these covenants.

NOTE 4  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On January 31, 2006, we, through an indirect subsidiary, purchased the facilities, machinery and equipment of Gulf Marine Fabricators, an indirect
subsidiary of Technip-Coflexip USA Holdings, Inc. (Technip). As consideration for the acquisition, we paid a combination of cash and common stock. Technip currently owns 789,067 shares or approximately 5.6% of our outstanding common
stock.

Since 2006, Technip has awarded us contracts to fabricate various oil and gas industry items totaling $40.1 million, and as of
December 31, 2007, we had recognized revenue of $33.0 million on these contracts. During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, we recognized additional revenue of $700,000 and $ 7.1 million, respectively, on
these contracts. During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized revenue of $6.1 million and $19.0 million, respectively, on these contracts. As of September 30, 2008, all contracts awarded by
Technip had been completed.

As of September 30, 2008, Technip owed us a total of $1.2 million of contracts receivable or 1.4% of the
total contracts receivable outstanding. As of December 31, 2007, Technip owed us a total of $7.5 million of contracts receivable or 9.5% of the total contracts receivable outstanding.

NOTE 5  PASS THROUGH COSTS

Pass-through costs
are material and sub-contract costs associated with projects that are included as revenue of a project, but add little or no margin to the project. Pass-through costs, as a percentage of revenue, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2008 were 42.8% and 40.4%, compared to 51.0% and 55.9%, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007.

NOTE 6  INCOME TAXES

Our effective income tax rate for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 was 32.8% and 33.4%, respectively, compared to an effective tax rate of 34.2% and 32.5% for the comparable periods
of 2007. The decrease from the previous three-month period relates primarily to prior period adjustments to income tax expense recorded in the third quarter of 2008. The increase from the previous nine-month period relates primarily to the
employment hiring credits that were available to us in 2007 for both state and federal taxes that began to phase-out in the third and fourth quarters of 2007.

Report of Independent Registered

Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and
Shareholders

Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc.

We have reviewed
the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. as of September 30, 2008, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders equity for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed
consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have
previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated February 28, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements under Backlog, Results of Operations
and Liquidity and Capital Resources and other statements in this report and the exhibits hereto that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from the results and outcomes predicted in the statement and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon them. Important factors that may cause our actual results to
differ materially from expectations or projections include those described under the heading Cautionary Statements in Item 1A. Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Such
factors include, among others, the timing and extent of changes in the prices of crude oil and natural gas; the timing of new projects and our ability to obtain them; competitive factors in the heavy marine fabrication industry; and our ability to
attract and retain qualified production employees at acceptable compensation rates.

In addition to the cautionary statements above, we are
closely monitoring the recent disruption in the global financial and credit markets, as well as the recent significant decline in the market price of oil, which has been widely publicized and may ultimately have a material effect on our operations
and those of our significant customers. As these events continue to unfold, we will be in a better position to evaluate their potential impact on our operations and develop any responsive strategies that may be necessary, particularly if energy
prices continue to decline.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to
make estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007). We believe that of our significant accounting policies, revenue recognition
involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Critical accounting policies are discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. There have been no changes in our evaluation of our critical
accounting policies since that date.

Backlog

Our backlog is based on managements estimate of the direct labor hours required to complete, and the remaining revenue to be recognized with respect to, those projects as to which a customer has authorized us to begin work or purchase
materials pursuant to written contracts, letters of intent or other forms of authorization. Often, however, managements estimates are based on incomplete engineering and design specifications. As engineering and design plans are finalized or
changes to existing plans are made, managements estimate of the direct labor hours required to complete and price at completion for such projects is likely to change. In addition, all projects currently included in our backlog are subject to
termination at the option of the customer, although the customer, is generally required to pay us for work performed and materials purchased through the date of termination and, in some instances, pay us cancellation fees. However, due to the large
dollar amounts of backlog estimated for certain projects, a termination of any one of these projects could substantially decrease our backlog, and could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, net income and cash flow.

As of September 30, 2008, we had a revenue backlog of $422.4 million and a labor backlog of approximately 4.6 million man-hours, which consists
of work remaining at September 30, 2008 and commitments received through the third quarter earnings release issued October 23, 2008, compared to the revenue backlog of $330.4 million and a man-hour backlog of 3.7 million hours
reported in our Form 10-K at December 31, 2007.

Of the backlog at September 30, 2008, $243.2 million, or 57.6%, represented
projects destined for deepwater locations compared to $185.4 million, or 56.1%, of



- 11 -

##### Index to Financial Statements

projects destined for deepwater locations in the December 31, 2007 backlog. Included in the backlog are $12.1 million or 2.9% and $62.6 million and
18.9% at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, related to projects destined for foreign locations.

Of the
backlog at September 30, 2008, we expect to recognize revenues of approximately $83.0 million in the remainder of 2008, and approximately $339.4 million in 2009 and thereafter.

Workforce

As of September 30, 2008, we had approximately 1,985 employees and approximately 194
contract employees, compared to approximately 1,820 employees and approximately 550 contract employees as of December 31, 2007.

Results of
Operations

Our revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 was $92.7 million and $334.3 million, a
decrease of 25.8% and 10.1% respectively, compared to $124.9 million and $371.8 million in revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007.

There were several factors contributing to the reduction of revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008.



| |  |  | Due to the hurricanes that struck the Gulf Coast during the quarter ended September 30, 2008, our Houma, Louisiana facility experienced approximately three
weeks of down time and our Texas facility experienced approximately 5 days of down time.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Pass-through costs, as a percentage of revenue, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 were 42.8% and 40.4%, compared to 51.0% and
55.9%, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007. We consider material and sub-contract cost associated with projects as pass-through costs because they add to the revenue of a project, but add little or
no margin to the project.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we expended a significant number of man-hours on the completion and preparation for the load-out of the Tombua
Landana project that were not considered part of the original scope of the project. We incurred a substantial amount of labor and other costs that were not currently billable to the customer, thus were not included in revenue. We anticipate that
through negotiation with the customer, a portion of those costs will be reimbursed to us in a future period.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | With a large number of manpower resources concentrating on the completion of the Tombua Landana project, progress on the MinDOC Mirage hull project was
substantially less during the quarter ended
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



- 12 -



---

##### Index to Financial Statements

September 30, 2008 compared to the progress on the MinDOC hull during the quarter ended
September 30, 2007. Since we recognize revenue on man-hours expended, revenue and profit recognition is impacted by the progress or the lack of progress on a project. With the completion of the Tombua Landana project, we anticipate the
completion progress of the MinDOC hull to return to levels similar to prior quarters in 2008 which is based on a scheduled delivery of mid first quarter 2009.

At September 30, 2008, the Company recorded revenue totaling $1.6 million related to certain change orders, somewhat equally split on three separate projects, which have been approved as to scope but not price.
Although the Company believes the collection of these change orders is probable based on past experience, the Company is in the process of negotiating resolution of these change orders with the customers, and recovery of the revenue is dependent
upon these negotiations. If the Company collects amounts different than the $1.6 million of revenue that has been recorded, that difference will be recognized as income or loss. The Company expects to resolve these matters in the fourth quarter of
2008.

The Companys cost in excess of billings and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts balance at September 30, 2008
includes $14.1 million related to one project. This amount has not been invoiced to the customer because the project was not 100% complete at September 30, 2008. This amount will be billed to the customer in the fourth quarter of 2008.

For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, gross profit was $6.3 million (6.8% of revenue) and $49.6
million (14.8% of revenue), compared to gross profit of $18.0 million (14.4% of revenue) and $40.6 million (10.9% of revenue) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2008, man-hours worked were 931,000 and 2.9 million, compared to 887,000 and 2.7 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007.

The change in the gross margin is related to the partial reimbursement to us of costs associated with specific capital projects required by the
fabrication process included in some contracts. Since these capital projects provide future benefits to us, the cost to build these projects is capitalized, thus the revenue associated with the capital project directly increases the estimated profit
on the contract. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, these costs were $207,000 and $5.3 million, compared to $1.9 million and $4.8 million, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007.
Depreciation expense related to these capital expenditures was $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to no related depreciation expense for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2007.

There were other factors contributing to the reduction of margins for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2008.



| |  |  | Man-hours were lost due to down time related to the hurricanes that struck the Gulf Coast during the quarter ended September 30, 2008. In addition, we recorded
approximately $700,000 for insurance deductibles related to insurance claims caused by the hurricanes.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We incurred $800,000 of additional costs associated with the Tahiti project and we were not successful in negotiating reimbursement of these costs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We incurred $2.1 million in labor and other costs in excess of revenues recognized necessary to complete and prepare for the load-out of the Tombua Landana project.
We anticipate that through negotiation with the customer, a portion of these costs will be reimbursed to us in a future period.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In addition to the loss of profit recognition due to the lack of progress on the MinDOC hull, we incurred $1.1 million of costs in excess of contract price
associated with the expanded scope of the project.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Companys general and administrative expenses were $2.1
million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 and $7.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. This compares to $2.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 and $7.9 million for
the nine-month period ended

##### Index to Financial Statements

September 30, 2007. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 2.2% compared to 2.2% and
2.2% compared to 2.1% of revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The reduction in general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 compared
to September 30, 2007 was related to a reduction of wage and wage related costs. The reduction in general and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007 was mainly related
to amortization expense (from the Gulf Marine acquisition) incurred through August 2007.

The Company had net interest income of $24,000
and $156,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively, compared to net interest income of $49,000 and $310,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007. The reduction in
interest income is related to having less cash available for investing in 2008 compared to 2007.

Other Income (Expense) net for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 were losses of $42,000 and $97,000, respectively, compared to losses of $5,000 and $10,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007. The losses for the
periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were related to the sale of miscellaneous equipment.

The effective income tax rate for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 was 32.8% and 33.4%, respectively, compared to an effective tax rate of 34.2% and 32.5% for the comparable periods of 2007. The decrease from the previous three-month period relates
primarily to prior period adjustments to income tax expense recorded in the third quarter of 2008. The increase from the previous nine-month period relates primarily to the employment hiring credits that were available to us in 2007 for both state
and federal taxes that began to phase-out in the third and fourth quarters of 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically we have funded our business activities primarily through cash generated from operations. We also maintain a revolving line of credit with our
commercial banks. Effective August 6, 2008, we entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Revolver) which, among other things, increased the amount of the Revolver from $50 million to
$60 million and extended the term of the Revolver from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010. The Revolver is secured by our real estate, machinery and equipment, and fixtures, and amounts borrowed under the Revolver bear interest, at our
option, at the prime lending rate established by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or LIBOR plus 1.5%. We pay a fee on a quarterly basis of three-sixteenths of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused portion of the Revolver. At
September 30, 2008, no amounts were borrowed under the Revolver, but we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $32.9 million, which reduced the unused portion of the Revolver. More of our customers, especially in larger fabrication
projects, are requiring us to issue letters of credit in lieu of retainage. Thus, the Company is issuing letters of credit for larger amounts and for longer periods of time than it did in past years. We are required to maintain certain covenants,
including balance sheet and cash flow ratios. As of September 30, 2008, we were in compliance with these covenants.

At September 30, 2008, our cash balance was $5.6 million and working capital was $69.5 million,
resulting in a current ratio of 2.21 to 1. Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.6 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008, was
$20.9 million, which related to capital expenditures for equipment and improvements to our production facilities. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, was $2.8 million, consisting of $962,000
provided by the exercise of stock options, $579,000 provided by the tax benefit of stock options exercised and $4.3 million used to pay dividends on common stock.

Capital expenditures for the remaining three months of 2008 are estimated to be approximately $2.0 million and primarily relate to machinery and equipment and various infrastructure improvements to the facilities.

We had an additional $18.6 million of committed capital expenditure costs at September 30, 2008 that will not be incurred until 2009.
These costs include $1.9 million for the completion of phase II of the graving dock to be incurred in the first quarter of 2009, $2.4 million representing the remaining balance for the purchase of two cranes to be incurred in the second quarter of
2009, and $14.3 million for the construction of a dry dock to be incurred as progress payments during all quarters of 2009, with the expected completion of the dry dock in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Management believes that our available funds, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund
our capital expenditures and working capital needs through the end of 2008 and commitments through 2009. However, we may expand our operations through acquisitions in the future, which may require additional equity or debt financing. Also, job
awards may require us to issue additional letters of credit, further reducing the unused portion of the Revolver.

On October 10,
2008, we received, from the State of Louisiana, an award of $2.3 million under their Economic Development Award Program. The award will be for infrastructure improvements, such as a paved road, sewer and water lines, adjacent to the property line in
our Houma, Louisiana, West Yard facility. The award is a performance award based on creating and maintaining 200 new jobs during a three to five year period associated with the expansion of our marine division.

On July 25, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share of our common stock, payable August 19, 2008 to shareholders of
record on August 7, 2008. The future declaration and payment of dividends, if any, is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our retained earnings, working capital requirements and the future operation and growth of our
business.
