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, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2008 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 2008 have been
reclassified to conform to the 2009 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, 2008.

NOTE 2CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In December 2004, we received notice from the 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 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 it was later approved with
stipulations. The Army Corp of Engineers is building a flood wall along the waterway where the facility is located. Once the Corp has completed its project we can resume sampling. We have not accrued any additional costs during 2009. At
September 30, 2009, we included $400,000 in Accrued expenses, which includes the current remaining estimated cost to remediate the site as well as engineering fees and consulting costs.

At September 30, 2009, we have recorded $6.1 million in Other receivables related to two insurance claims that we have
determined are recoverable costs under our various insurance policies. Certain costs that were deemed unrecoverable based on either our insurance coverage or our deductibles related to these insurance claims were expensed at the time
incurred. The amount of the deductibles associated with our various insurance policies are generally based on a percentage of the repair costs. Until all property is restored to pre-damaged condition, we will incur costs for repairs and
record the deductibles accordingly. We have not recorded any gains related to these claims in our income statement and will not record any gains until all applicable claims are settled.

Of these two insurance claims, one claim is for $200,000 and relates to damages and related costs incurred in connection with Hurricanes
Gustav and Ike, which hit the Gulf Coast in 2008. The other claim is for $5.9 million and relates to damages and related costs incurred in connection with an accident that occurred in April 2008 at our Texas facility involving four
cranes. This amount represents costs incurred by us to rent replacement cranes while our damaged cranes were repaired. Our insurance provider has alleged that the amount recoverable for rental costs is limited to $450,000 in the aggregate,
and has denied that it has any further obligation to pay us for damages and costs related to the crane accident. However, we, in consultation with outside legal counsel, believe it is probable all of our claims are fully recoverable under our
insurance polices and we intend to vigorously pursue full reimbursement of those costs.

NOTE 3NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in
Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, standards (ASC 260-10-45-61A), which state that share-based payment awards with a right to receive non-forfeitable dividends are participating securities. These standards also
provide guidance on how to allocate earnings to participating securities and compute basic earnings per share using the two-class method. These standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted this
pronouncement effective January 1, 2009 and also retroactively adjusted the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share for common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Basic and diluted earnings per
share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been reduced by $0.01 per share as the result of adopting this standard. See Note 8 for further information.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (ASC 855-10-25 to 50), which establish
accounting principles for recognition and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. This standard is essentially similar to current accounting principles with few exceptions that do not
result in a change in general practice. This standard is effective on a prospective basis for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted this standard effective June 30, 2009, and the adoption did not have a
material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We have evaluated subsequent events through October 23, 2009, the time of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASC 105), which establishes FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be applied
by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accounting and financial reporting
practices not included in the ASC or issued by the SEC are nonauthoritative and should only be considered when accounting principles for similar transactions or events are not within a source of authoritative GAAP. We adopted this pronouncement
effective September 15, 2009 and have begun providing references to the ASC topics alongside the pre-ASC standards reference.

NOTE
4LINE OF CREDIT AND NOTES PAYABLE

Effective June 2, 2009, we entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Ninth
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Revolver) which, among other things, extended the term of the $60 million Revolver from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The Revolver is secured by our real estate, machinery
and equipment, and fixtures. 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 one-fourth of one percent per
annum on the weighted-average unused portion of the Revolver.

At September 30, 2009, no amounts were outstanding under
the Revolver, but we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $21.1 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. We are required to maintain certain covenants, including balance sheet and cash flow ratios. As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with these covenants.

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 period ended September 30, 2009 were 32.3%
compared to 42.8% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008. Pass-through costs, as a percentage of revenue, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 were 36.4% compared to 40.4% for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2008.

NOTE 6INCOME TAXES

Our effective income tax rates for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 were 35.1% and 35.5%, respectively, compared to effective tax rates of 32.8% and 33.4%, respectively
for the comparable periods of 2008. The increases from the previous three and nine-month periods are the result of the limitations on certain federal manufacturing tax credits based on our estimated tax provision for 2009, a reduction in state
hiring tax credits available to us in 2009 and a slight increase in state taxes related to an increase in the state apportionment.

NOTE
7BLUEWATER AGREEMENT

On July 15, 2009, we reached an agreement with Bluewater Industries, Inc.
(Bluewater) to restructure the payment terms for the remainder of the amounts owed on the MinDOC I project. Bluewater, an engineering consulting firm, is contracted with ATP Oil and Gas (ATP) to oversee the fabrication of the
MinDOC I hull and topsides. The amount owed to us on the project at the time of

the arrangement was $64.5 million. Based on then current estimates, an additional $25.5 million was expected to be billed on the project through completion, which is expected to occur in late
October 2009. Any additional changes in the scope of the project that will cause a change order to be issued in excess of the agreed upon $90 million must be approved by Bluewater and ATP. Such change orders will be paid in cash and will not be part
of this payment agreement.

Bluewater agreed to pay $42 million of the amount owed in seven equal installments of $6 million
each, with the first payment due September 5, 2009 and each subsequent payment due on the 5th day of each calendar month through March 5, 2010. Any such installment that is not paid when due shall bear interest as provided in the Master
Services Agreement between Bluewater and us. We have received $12 million in payments from Bluewater under this agreement.

Bluewater agreed to pay $48 million of the remaining amount owed to us pursuant to the assignment of all of its right, title and interest in the Conveyance of Overriding Royalty Interest between ATP and Bluewater. The interest we received
from Bluewater is a limited overriding royalty interest because the amount to be received by us is set not to exceed $48 million. Upon cumulative receipt of the $48 million, the limited overriding royalty will revert back to Bluewater. It is
projected that we will start receiving royalty payments from this overriding royalty interest in February 2010, and we anticipate the entire $48 million to be paid over a thirteen month period. The production volumes used in these projections were
derived from petroleum engineering reserve reports. The prices for oil and gas were estimated based on the strip prices in effect in mid-June 2009.

We have no guarantees from Bluewater or ATP if the limited overriding royalty interest does not fund the remaining $48 million balance. However, based on our review of the engineering reports for the
properties subject to our limited overriding royalty interest, the available oil and gas reserves (assuming prices based on the forward strip in mid-June 2009) significantly exceed the $48 million.

The cash flows we expect to receive from the limited overriding royalty interest are sensitive to the normal risks associated with oil and
natural gas production such as changes in the price of oil and gas, the amount of oil and gas produced, increases in the expenses associated with producing the oil and gas and changes in the anticipated production schedule. These cash flows can be
adversely affected by a decline in the price of oil and gas or production level of the oil and gas wells being serviced by the MinDOC I hull and topsides. Also, the estimates of crude oil and natural gas reserves depend on many factors and
assumptions, including various assumptions that are based on conditions in existence as of the dates of the estimates. Any material change in those conditions, or other factors affecting those assumptions, could impair the quantity and value of oil
and natural gas reserves. As a result of these risks, the payments we expect to receive from this agreement have been discounted using interest rates ranging from 10% to 18% with the discounted amount included in our final estimated contract price
on this project.

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, 2009, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and
the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. 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, 2008, 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 March 5, 2009, 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, 2008, 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, among others, the timing and extent of changes in the prices of crude
oil and natural gas; changes in our backlog; 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. These risks, as well as others are described in Item 1A Risk Factors of Part 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as updated and supplemented by Item 1A of Part 2 of our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

In addition to the cautionary statements above, as we
mentioned in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, the downturn in the industry that began in late 2008 brought on by the rapid decline in oil and gas prices continues to impact our ability to maintain the higher
levels of performance of prior periods. Oil prices earlier this year were in the $40-$50 a barrel range, which has resulted in reduced cash flows and reduced capital budgets for oil and gas producers in 2009. The dollar value of projects, if
available in the continuously shrinking marine fabrication market, is significantly below last years levels. Our ability to maintain consistent revenue and gross profit levels, along with profit margins, depends partially on our ability to
acquire projects with similar values and margins. Our production man-hour volumes are declining without any significant new project awards to replace our rapidly depleting backlog. More projects have been removed from the bidding process as oil and
gas producing companies appear to be waiting for a potential increase in commodity prices. We have undertaken cost reduction measures as appropriate to meet these conditions. We also are pursuing other projects such as fabrication of modules,
towboats, barges and other marine vessels. The offshore oil and gas industry will also require some maintenance on existing infrastructure from which we will benefit at some level through time-and-material basis agreements. We will continue to
monitor revenue levels and will adjust costs as we deem necessary or prudent. In the longer term, demand for our products and services will continue to depend largely upon prices for oil and gas, which at this time is difficult to predict.

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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008). We believe that of our significant accounting policies, revenue
recognition involves a



- 13 -

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, 2008. 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, in that case, is required to pay us for work performed and materials purchased
through the date of termination and, in some instances, cancellation fees. A customer may also delay the execution of its project, as ATP has done in connection with the MinDOC II hull. Due to the large dollar amount of backlog estimated for a few
projects, a termination or postponement 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, 2009, we had a revenue backlog of $136.1 million and a labor backlog of approximately 1.5 million man-hours
remaining to work, which consists of work remaining at September 30, 2009 and commitments received through the third quarter earnings release issued October 23, 2009, compared to the revenue backlog of $209.8 million and a man-hour backlog
of 2.3 million hours reported in our Form 10-K at December 31, 2008, both of which exclude the MinDOC II hull backlog of $147.7 million and 1.6 million man-hours and $150.4 million and 1.6 million man-hours, respectively.
Although not formally cancelled, due to current economic conditions, it is not likely the MinDOC II project will return to active status in the near future.

Of our $136.1 million backlog at September 30, 2009, $27.7 million, or 20.4%, represented projects destined for deepwater locations compared to $50.4 million, or 24.0%, of projects destined for
deepwater locations of the $209.8 million backlog at December 31, 2008. Included in the backlog is $600,000, or 0.4%, and $1.5 million, or 0.4%, at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, related to projects destined
for foreign locations.

From our $136.1 million backlog at September 30, 2009, we expect to recognize revenues of
approximately $72.8 million during the remainder of 2009. This amount does not include any change orders, scope growth or new contracts that may be awarded during the remainder of the year. The remaining $63.3 million of backlog is expected to be
recognized in 2010 and thereafter.

Workforce

As of September 30, 2009, we had approximately 1,560 employees and approximately 150 contract employees, compared to approximately 1,850
employees and approximately 150 contract employees as of December 31, 2008.

Results of Operations

Our revenue for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $76.6 million and
$240.8 million, respectively, compared to $92.7 million and $334.3 million, respectively, in revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008. This represents a decrease of 17.4% and 28.0%, respectively.

The following factors contributed to the decrease in revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009:



| |  |  | Significant jobs have not been added to the backlog for several quarters. Without the start-up of any significant jobs, absolute dollar pass-through
costs and billable man-hours continue to decrease.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Man-hours worked has decreased. The amount of man-hours worked was 811,000 and 2.5 million during the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2009, compared to 931,000 and 2.9 million man-hours for the comparative periods ended September 30, 2008.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At September 30, 2009, we recorded revenue totaling $1.5 million related to certain change orders on one project which have been approved as to scope but not price. Although we believe the collection
of this change order is probable based on past experience, we are in the process of negotiating resolution of these change orders with the customer, and recovery of the revenue is dependent upon these negotiations. If we collect an amount different
than the $1.5 million of revenue that has been recorded, that difference will be recognized as income or loss as applicable. We expect to resolve these matters in the fourth quarter of 2009.

For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, gross profit was $11.2 million (14.6% of revenue) and $31.3
million (13.0% of revenue), respectively, compared to $6.3 million (6.8% of revenue) and $49.6 million (14.8% of revenue), respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008. Factors that contributed to the
increase in gross margin for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 include:



| |  |  | We are required to undertake certain capital projects in connection with the fabrication process included in some contracts. Revenue is sometimes
included in the contract price as consideration for the capital project. 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 period ended September 30, 2009, revenue included $605,000 from these projects compared to no revenue from these projects for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, man-hours were lost due to down time related to the hurricanes that struck the Gulf Coast. In
addition, we recorded a reserve for approximately $700,000 for insurance deductibles related to insurance claims caused by the hurricanes during that period. There were no similar costs during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we incurred $2.9 million in labor and other costs in excess of revenues recognized necessary to
complete and prepare for the load-out of two major projects.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cost reduction measures, including a reduction in overhead labor costs, were undertaken since the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to meet the
decline in current economic conditions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Factors that contributed to the decrease in gross margin for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 include:



| |  |  | As discussed in the paragraphs above, revenue is sometimes included in the contract price as consideration for a capital project. For the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2009, revenue included $1.9 million related to these projects compared to $5.3 million related to these projects for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Generally, our revenue is recognized by using the percentage-of-completion method, computed by the efforts-expended method, which measures the
percentage of labor hours incurred compared to the total estimated labor hours to complete a contract. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, the amount of man-hours worked was 2.5 million compared to 2.9 million
man-hours for the comparative period ended September 30, 2008. Consequently, the decrease in direct labor man-hours resulted in a decrease in gross margin.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Companys general and administrative expenses were $2.1 million and $6.2 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2009. This compares to $2.1 million and $7.3 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 2.7% and 2.6%, compared to 2.2%
and 2.2 % of revenue for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008. The absolute dollar reduction in general and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the
comparable period ended September 30, 2008, was related to our efforts to control cost during the current economic conditions and industry downturn.

The Company had net interest income of $58,000 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2009, compared to net interest income of $24,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008. The Company had net interest income of $43,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to net
interest income of $156,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008.

Our effective income tax rates for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 were 35.1% and 35.5%, respectively, compared to effective tax rates of 32.8% and 33.4%, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2008. The increases from the previous three and
nine-month periods are the result of the limitations on certain federal manufacturing tax credits based on our estimated tax provision for 2009, a reduction in state hiring tax credits available to us in 2009 and a slight increase in state taxes
related to an increase in the state apportionment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically we have funded our business activities through funds generated from operations. Effective June 2, 2009, we entered into the
Eighth Amendment to the Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Revolver) which, among other things, extended the term of the $60 million Revolver from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The Revolver is secured by
our real estate, machinery and equipment, and fixtures. 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
one-forth of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused portion of the Revolver.

At September 30, 2009, no
amounts were borrowed under the Revolver, but we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $21.1 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. We are required to maintain certain covenants, including balance sheet and cash flow ratios, and as of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with these covenants.

On July 15, 2009, we reached an agreement with Bluewater Industries, Inc. (Bluewater) to restructure the payment terms for
the remainder of the amounts owed on the MinDOC I project. Bluewater, an engineering consulting firm, is contracted with ATP Oil and Gas (ATP) to oversee the fabrication of the MinDOC I hull and topsides. The amount owed to us on the
project at the time of the arrangement was $64.5 million. Based on then current estimates, an additional $25.5 million was expected to be billed on the project through completion, which is expected to occur in late October 2009. Any additional
changes in the scope of the project that will cause a change order to be issued in excess of the agreed upon $90 million must be approved by Bluewater and ATP. Such change orders will be paid in cash and will not be part of this payment agreement.

Bluewater agreed to pay $42 million of the amount owed in seven equal installments of $6 million each, with the first payment
due September 5, 2009 and each subsequent payment due on the 5th day of each calendar month through March 5, 2010. Any such installment that is not paid when due shall bear interest as provided in the

##### Index to Financial Statements

Master Services Agreement between Bluewater and us. We have received $12 million in payments from Bluewater under this agreement.

Bluewater agreed to pay $48 million of the remaining amount owed to us pursuant to the assignment of all of its right, title and interest in
the Conveyance of Overriding Royalty Interest between ATP and Bluewater. The interest we received from Bluewater is a limited overriding royalty interest because the amount to be received by us is set not to exceed $48 million. Upon cumulative
receipt of the $48 million, the limited overriding royalty will revert back to Bluewater. It is projected that we will start receiving royalty payments from this overriding royalty interest in February 2010, and we anticipate the entire $48 million
to be paid over a thirteen month period. The production volumes used in these projections were derived from petroleum engineering reserve reports. The prices for oil and gas were estimated based on the strip prices in effect in mid-June 2009.

We have no guarantees from Bluewater or ATP if the limited overriding royalty interest does not fund the remaining $48
million balance. However, based on our review of the engineering reports for the properties subject to our limited overriding royalty interest, the available oil and gas reserves (assuming prices based on the forward strip in mid-June 2009)
significantly exceed the $48 million.

The cash flows we expect to receive from the limited overriding royalty interest are
sensitive to the normal risks associated with oil and natural gas production such as changes in the price of oil and gas, the amount of oil and gas produced, increases in the expenses associated with producing the oil and gas and changes in the
anticipated production schedule. These cash flows can be adversely affected by a decline in the price of oil and gas or production level of the oil and gas wells being serviced by the MinDOC I hull and topsides. Also, the estimates of crude oil and
natural gas reserves depend on many factors and assumptions, including various assumptions that are based on conditions in existence as of the dates of the estimates. Any material change in those conditions, or other factors affecting those
assumptions, could impair the quantity and value of oil and natural gas reserves. As a result of these risks, the payments we expect to receive from this agreement have been discounted using interest rates ranging from 10% to 18% with the discounted
amount included in our final estimated contract price on this project.

At September 30, 2009, our cash and cash
equivalents totaled $8.2 million. Working capital was $76.3 million at September 30, 2009. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.65 to 1 at September 30, 2009. Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.7 million
for the nine-months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $4.6 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008. The overall increase in cash provided by operations for the period ended September 30, 2009, compared to the period
ended September 30, 2008, is due to the net decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, which has a positive affect on cash flow from operations. This decrease is the result of us working off our backlog without adding any
significant new projects. However, decreased operating activity generates less revenue and effectively less earnings, thus lessening the overall increase in cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine-months ended September 30, 2009, was $11.6 million, which related to capital
expenditures of $12.1 million for equipment and improvements to our production facilities and $500,000 of proceeds on

the sale of equipment. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, was $1.7 million, consisting of cash used to pay dividends on shares of our
common stock.

Capital expenditures for the remaining three months of 2009 are estimated to be approximately $6.7 million,
which includes approximately $53,000 to complete phase II of the graving dock, $3.8 million to complete construction of a dry dock and the remainder for the purchase of machinery and equipment and additional yard and facility expansion improvements.
The expenditures for the dry dock, to be located at our Louisiana facility, are to facilitate our expansion into additional marine construction areas such as towboats, barges and offshore supply vessels.

The agreed restructure of payments on the MinDOC I project discussed above, which extended the payment term on this project, has caused a
significant reduction in cash available to us for payment of expenses, capital expenditures and for investment. An adverse change in the anticipated payment stream from Bluewater could cause an additional strain on our liquidity and other resources.
However, 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 2009.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings.
|------- | ------------------

The
Company is subject to various routine legal proceedings in the normal conduct of its business primarily involving commercial claims, workers compensation claims, and claims for personal injury under 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 any such proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse
effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
