PART I

Items 1 and 2. Business and Properties

Certain technical terms are defined in the Glossary of Certain Technical Terms beginning on page G-1.

General

We are a leading fabricator of offshore drilling and production platforms, hull and deck sections of floating production platforms and
other specialized structures used in the development and production of offshore crude oil and natural gas (oil and gas) reserves. The company was incorporated in 1985 by a group of investors, including Alden J. Doc Laborde,
and began operations at our fabrication yard on the Houma Navigation Canal in southern Louisiana, approximately 30 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Our Houma facilities are located on 630 acres, of which 283 are currently developed for fabrication
activities with 347 acres available for future expansion. Effective January 31, 2006, we acquired the facilities, machinery and equipment of Gulf Marine Fabricators, L.P. (Gulf Marine) located on 372 acres in San Patricio and Nueces
Counties, Texas.

Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. serves as a holding company and conducts all of its operations through its
subsidiaries, which include Gulf Island, L.L.C. (Gulf Island), Gulf Island Marine Fabricators, L.L.C. (Gulf Island Marine) (performing marine fabrication and construction services), Dolphin Services, L.L.C. (Dolphin
Services) (performing offshore and onshore fabrication and construction services), Southport, L.L.C. (Southport) (specializing in the fabrication of living quarters for offshore platforms), Gulf Island Resources, L.L.C. (Gulf
Island Resources) (hiring of laborers with similar rates and terms as those provided by contract labor service companies), and Gulf Marine.

Other Developments

In October 2008, we formed a limited liability company
called Dolphin Steel Sales, L.L.C. (Dolphin Steel Sales) to increase the marketing efforts of our existing steel sales business. Our steel sales company operates a three acre facility adjacent to Gulf Islands main yard with a
product line that includes plates and other products that utilize Gulf Islands capability to process the steel by cutting, shaping, forming and painting.

Description of Operations

Our primary activity is the fabrication of
offshore drilling and production platforms, including jackets and deck sections of fixed production platforms, hull, tendon, and/or deck sections of floating production platforms (such as TLPs, SPARs, FPSOs and MinDOCs), piles, wellhead
protectors, subsea templates and various production, compressor and utility modules. We also produce and repair pressure vessels used in the oil and gas industry, refurbish existing platforms, fabricate various other types of steel structures, and
fabricate living quarters for installation on such platforms ranging in size from 4 to 250 beds, provide onshore and offshore scaffolding and piping insulation services, perform heavy lifts such as ship integration and TLP module integration, load
and offload jack-up drilling rigs, semi-submersible drilling rigs, TLPs, SPARs or other similar cargo. We also fabricate multiple processing modules installed in petro-chemical plants. We now provide our customers with what we believe is the
greatest amount of fabrication facilities on the Gulf of Mexico. Gulf Island Marine can fabricate towboats, barges, lift boats, offshore support vessels and mid-body sections for offshore supply vessels. Our Dry Dock has the capacity to lift 9,000
tons and is used for maintenance and repairs to third party marine vessels, as well as to launch vessels being fabricated at our facilities.

We use modern welding and fabrication technology, and all of our products are manufactured in accordance with industry standards, specifications and regulations, including those published by the American
Petroleum Institute, the American Welding Society, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Bureau of Shipping and the United States Coast Guard. The quality management systems of our operating subsidiaries are certified as ISO 9001-2008
quality assurance programs. See Safety and Quality Assurance.

Through Gulf Island and Gulf Marine we fabricate
the structural components of fixed platforms. A fixed platform is the traditional type of platform used for the offshore development and production of oil and gas, although in recent years there has been an increase in the use of floating production
platforms as a result of increased drilling and production activities in deeper waters. Most fixed platforms built today can accommodate both drilling and production operations. These combination platforms are large and generally more costly than
single-purpose structures. However, because directional drilling techniques permit a number of wells to be drilled from a single platform and because drilling and production can take place simultaneously, combination platforms are often more cost
effective.

The most common type of fixed platform consists of a jacket (a tubular steel, braced structure extending from the
mudline on the seabed to a point above the water surface) which is supported on tubular pilings driven deep into the seabed and supports the deck structure located above the level of storm waves. The deck structure, extending above the surface of
the water and attached to the tubular pilings extending out of the top end of the jacket, is designed to accommodate multiple functions, including drilling, production, separating, gathering, piping, compression, well support and crew quartering.
Platforms can be joined by bridges to form complexes of platforms for very large developments or to improve safety by dividing functions among specialized platforms. Jacket-type platforms are generally the most viable solution for water depths of
1,000 feet or less. Although there is no height limit to the size of the jackets that can be fabricated at our Houma facilities, the dimensions of the Houma Navigation Canal prevent the transportation to the Gulf of Mexico of most jackets designed
for water depths exceeding 800 feet. We can, however, build decks, piping and equipment modules, living quarters, piles and other components of platforms for installation in any water depth. Our Gulf Marine south yard in Texas, which is located on
the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway and the 45 feet deep Corpus Christi Ship Channel, provides direct and unrestricted access to the Gulf of Mexico, which allows for unlimited fabrication or assembly of any size structure in use today. Often, customers
split projects among fabricators, contracting with different companies for the fabrication of the jacket, deck sections, living quarters and piles for the same platform.

Through the construction of these components, our Houma facility participates in the construction of platforms requiring jackets and/or hulls that are larger than those we could transport through
the Houma Navigation Canal.

Most of the steel used in our operations arrives at our fabrication yards as steel plate. The
plate is cut and rolled into tubular sections at rolling mills in the fabrication yards. The tubular sections (which vary in diameter up to 23 feet) are welded together in long straight tubes to become legs or into shorter tubes to become part of
the network of bracing that support the legs. Various cuts and welds in the fabrication process are made by computer-controlled equipment that operates from data developed during the design of the structure. Our ability to fabricate and assemble the
large tubular sections needed for jackets built for use in water depths over 300 feet distinguish us from all but two of our domestic competitors.

Jackets are built on skidways (which are long parallel rails along which the jacket will slide when it is transferred to a barge for towing out to sea) and are generally built in sections so that much of
their fabrication is done on the ground. As each section of legs and bracing is complete, large crawler cranes pick up an entire side and roll up the section, which is then joined to another uprighted section. When a jacket is complete
and ready for launch, it is pulled along the skidway onto a launch barge, which is gradually de-ballasted to compensate for the weight of the structure as more of it moves aboard the barge. Using ocean-going tugs, the barge and jacket are
transported to the offshore installation site.

Decks are built either as single structures or in sections and are installed
on location on fixed and floating platforms by marine construction contractors. The composition and quantity of petroleum in the well stream generally determine the makeup of the production deck on a processing platform. Typical deck equipment
includes crude oil pumps, oil and gas separators and gas compressors. Unlike large jackets, which are transported in a horizontal position, decks are transported upright and, as a result, are not subject to the width restrictions of the Houma
Navigation Canal. Therefore, the only limitation on our ability to fabricate decks in our Houma facility is the weight capacity of the barges that transport the decks from our yard to the installation site. Barges currently exist that have the
weight capacity and other characteristics required to transport even the largest of the decks currently installed in the world, and we believe that we can construct some of the largest decks at our facilities. While larger deck structures to be
built in the future could exceed the capacities of currently existing barges, management does not believe that this will materially affect our share of the market for deck construction.

In November 2009, we delivered the first deepwater dry tree drilling and production platform built in the United States. The MinDOC
hull weighs approximately 19,000 short tons. The hull has three vertical columns arranged in a triangular shape connected to upper and lower pontoon sections. A vertical inner tube runs the full length of each leg and houses a variety of
equipment used to ballast as well as instruments collecting data for stability. The MinDOC hull has a similar look to a Semisubmersible but has characteristics of a SPAR hull. The hull has a 40 year design life and the overall length and
diameter of the columns is dictated by the amount of topsides payload the customer desires. It has superior stability and a higher load capacity over Semisubmersibles and SPARs. Its risers are tensioned by a hydraulic riser system rather than
air cans or buoyancy cans used on SPARs. The platform is held in place by a 12 point mooring system, four mooring lines per column.

The deck sections that sit on top of the hull can be configured in a traditional rectangular shape or in a T-type configuration. The T-Type configuration is the method that was chosen for the MinDOC
Project. Two deck sections were fabricated by Gulf Island with a combined weight of approximately 6,000 short tons.

We
can also fabricate TLPs and sections of, or structures and tendons used in connection with, TLPs. TLPs consist of a deck that sits atop one or more column-shaped hulls, which are positioned on site with vertical tendons running from the hulls to the
seabed. The tendons hold the hulls partially submerged and are highly tensioned using the buoyancy of the hulls. This system develops a restoring force against wave, wind and current actions in proportion to the lateral displacement of the vessel.
Wells for a TLP are often pre-drilled through a subsea template. Long, flexible production risers, which carry the petroleum to the deck of the TLP, are



3

##### Table of Contents

supported in tension by mechanical tensioner machines on the platforms deck and are directly subject to wave, wind and current forces. TLPs can be used in any water depth and are generally
better suited than fixed platforms for water depths greater than 1,000 feet.

The size of a TLP depends on a number of
factors, including the intended scope of production of the platform, the length of the production risers connected to the platform, the size of the deck to be installed on the platform and the water depth for which the platform is designed. We can
fabricate deck sections and hulls for use with TLPs of any size. TLPs, MinDOCs and other floating concepts are the alternatives of choice for deepwater drilling and production platforms.

We have fabricated subsea templates for use in connection with TLPs, which are structures that are installed on the seabed before
development drilling begins. As exploration and drilling move into the deepwater of the Gulf of Mexico, we believe that there will be increased opportunities to fabricate subsea templates, as well as decks and other structures, for use in connection
with TLPs.

In addition, we fabricate piles and other rolled goods, templates, bridges for connecting offshore platforms,
wellhead protectors, various production, compressor and utility modules and other structures used in offshore oil and gas production and development activities. All of our products are installed by marine construction contractors.

Through Dolphin Services, we also provide interconnect piping services on offshore platforms, inshore steel and wood structure
construction and fabrication of pressure vessels and large and small packaged skid units. Interconnect piping services involve sending employee crews to offshore platforms that have been installed in the Gulf of Mexico in order to perform welding
and other activities required to connect production equipment, service modules and other equipment to a platform prior to its becoming operational. Dolphin Services also contracts with oil and gas companies that have platforms and other structures
located in the inland lakes and bays throughout the Southeast for various on-site construction and maintenance activities. At its existing facility located a quarter of a mile from the Gulf Island main yard, Dolphin Services can fabricate jackets up
to 100 feet tall, along with decks and other steel structures. Dolphin Services has also been active in the refurbishment of existing platforms. Platform operators occasionally remove platforms previously installed in the Gulf of Mexico and return
the platforms to a fabricator for refurbishment, which usually consists of general repairs, maintenance work and modification. Dolphin Services also serves state and local governments with various municipal and drainage projects such as pump
stations, levee reinforcement, bulkheads and other levee and drainage projects.

Facilities and Equipment

Facilities. Our corporate headquarters and Gulf Islands main fabrication yard are located on the east bank of the
Houma Navigation Canal in Houma, Louisiana, approximately 30 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. This facility is situated on approximately 140 acres, of which 100 acres are developed for fabrication, and includes several buildings totaling 36,000 square
feet of administrative offices, 267,000 square feet of covered fabrication area, over 17,000 square feet of warehouse storage area and 8,000 square feet of training and medical facilities. The main yard also has approximately 2,800 linear feet of
water frontage, of which 1,500 feet is steel bulkhead that permits load out of heavy structures.

Gulf Islands west yard
is located across the Houma Navigation Canal from the main yard on 437 acres, 130 acres of which are developed for fabrication and over 300 acres of which are unimproved land that could be used for expansion. The west yard, which has approximately
72,000 square feet of covered fabrication area and 4,600 square feet of warehouse storage area, spans 6,750 linear feet of the Houma Navigation Canal, of which 2,350 feet is steel bulkhead.

Our marine company is now located in the west yard with two buildings providing an additional 5,400 square feet for administrative
offices, 55,000 square feet of covered fabrication area and 16,400 square feet of

##### Table of Contents

warehouse area. One building is a new fabrication shop that is 125 feet wide and 400 feet deep with a 54 foot under hook height. This new building houses 4 twenty-ton overhead cranes and allows
us to fabricate boat sections and panels under a covered fabrication area on the west yard. The other building is a new warehouse and office building that is 200 feet long and 80 feet wide. Included in its warehouse area is 4,800 square feet of
climate controlled storage, which now gives our Gulf Island facilities a total of 7,200 square feet. The marine company also utilizes an expanded covered area connected to the panel line building which is open at both ends and is approximately
24,600 square feet.

Gulf Islands north yard, formerly the Southport facility, operates on the east bank of the Houma
Navigation Canal adjacent to Gulf Islands main fabrication yard. The facility covers 23 acres and includes a two-story, 5,000 square foot administration building with an attached 5,300 square foot warehouse. The property has approximately
1,850 linear feet of water frontage, of which 380 linear feet is steel bulkhead that permits docking of large ocean going vessels and the loadout of heavy structures.

Dolphin Services operates from a 30-acre site located approximately a quarter of a mile from Gulf Islands main yard on a channel adjacent to the Houma Navigation Canal. The facility includes a 9,900
square foot building for administrative staff, approximately 32,000 square feet of covered fabrication area, 1,500 square feet of warehouse storage area, a 10,000 square foot blasting and coating facility and approximately 990 linear feet of water
frontage, of which 660 feet is steel bulkhead.

Gulf Marines south yard in Ingleside, Texas is located on the northwest
corner of the intersection between the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. The 45 feet deep Corpus Christi Ship Channel provides direct and unrestricted access to the Gulf of Mexico, which makes this site ideal for the
fabrication or assembly of many types of large structures. This facility is situated on approximately 212 acres developed for fabrication and assembly, and includes a fabrication shop with 5,000 square feet of covered fabrication area, 10,000 square
feet of warehouse storage area and 2,700 square feet of training facilities. The yard also has approximately 2,650 linear feet of water frontage, of which all is steel bulkhead. Gulf Marines Specialized Lifting Device (SLD) is located in the
south yard and is used to perform heavy lifts of up to 4,000 tons such as ship integration and TLP module integration, load and offload jack-up drilling rigs or production hulls, semi-submersible drilling rigs, TLPs, SPARs or other similar cargo. In
addition, Gulf Marine has dredged an area 86 feet deep within 500 feet of the bulkhead to be used in conjunction with heavy lifts. This area measures 800 feet by 200 feet at the base and can accommodate the largest existing semi submersible
transport vessels. In addition, the graving dock measures 600 feet long by 250 feet wide and 40 feet deep. It has a reinforced concrete slab floor, sheet pile walls and pile supported relieving platforms around the perimeter to take the
surcharge load applied by cranes. The south end of the graving dock, which opens to the Corpus Christi Ship Channel, has a removable sheet piled wall supported by steel struts. The wall is being replaced by the gate described below. When
flooded, the graving dock has a minimum of 30 feet of water over the concrete floor. The graving dock was constructed to facilitate the fabrication and assembly of certain components of the MinDOC hull. Although the graving dock was constructed to
facilitate the MinDOC hull, it can be used for fabricating any floating structure that will fit within its perimeters and can also be used for ship and floating rig repair.

During 2009, Gulf Marine began construction of a gate for the graving dock expected to be completed in the late first quarter or early second quarter of 2011. The graving dock gate is a steel barge like
structure consisting of a steel reinforced wall and a buoyancy tank. The floating structure is 240 long x 35 wide x 40 deep and weighs approximately 950 tons. The gate structure has rubber seals that engage the walls and the
graving dock floor. Although the de-ballasting of the dock requires pumps, the gate is equipped with piping to allow the gate to be flooded without the use pumps. The removal and installation of the gate is a much shorter duration than the
current process involving sheet pile removal and installation. Removal of the gate will be accomplished within a day and installation and de-ballasting is estimated to take 3-4 days, whereas installation and removal of sheet piles would take
well over a month and require replacing sheet piles quite often. This process improvement enables the dry-docking of vessels for repairs on a relatively quick turnaround and opens up new markets at our Gulf Marine facility.

Gulf Marines north yard in Aransas Pass, Texas is located along the U.S. Intracoastal
Waterway and is approximately three miles north of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. This facility is situated on approximately 160 acres, of which 85 acres are dedicated to fabrication activities, and 55 acres are used for the storage of steel,
prefabricated elements, equipment, and spare parts and includes several buildings with approximately 328,000 square feet of covered fabrication area, 22,000 square feet for administrative staff, 61,750 square feet of warehouse storage area and
16,000 square feet of training and medical facilities. The yard also has approximately 3,000 linear feet of water frontage, of which approximately 1,000 is steel bulkhead. The north yard can fabricate decks, skids and modules, jackets, piles,
MinDOC, SPAR and TLP components, process piping, tanks, barges and drill rig structure components.

We own all of the
foregoing properties.

Equipment. Gulf Islands main yard houses its Bertsch Model 34 and Model 20 plate
bending rolls, a computerized Vernon brace coping machine used for cutting steel in complex geometric sections, a Frye Wheelabrator and a U.S. Filter grit blast system, a hydraulic plate shear, a hydraulic press brake, and various other equipment
needed to build offshore structures and fabricate steel components. Gulf Islands west yard has a Bertsch Model 38 plate bending roll, a computerized Vernon brace coping machine, and various other equipment used in our fabrication business. The
brace coping machine installed in Gulf Islands west yard can handle pipe up to 1,500 pounds per foot and 54 inch outer diameter compared to the capacity of the current machine in the main yard, which is 1,000 pounds per foot and 48 inch outer
diameter. The brace coping machine in the west yard provides additional efficiencies because it can cut 360 degrees without repositioning itself. Also, by having two machines, Gulf Island can double its capacity to cut braces thereby reducing idle
production time in the yard. Gulf Island has a computerized numeric controlled plasma-arc cutting system that cuts and bevels steel up to one inch thick at a rate of two hundred inches per minute. The system can also etch into steel for piece
markings and layout markings at a rate of three hundred inches per minute. Gulf Island also owns 16 crawler cranes, which range in tonnage capacity from 150 to 500 tons each and service both of Gulf Islands yards. Gulf Island may rent
additional cranes on a monthly basis in times of very high activity levels. Gulf Island owns six rubber-tired, hydraulic modular transporters (KAMAGType 2406) that allow fabricated deck sections that weigh as much as 1,200 tons to be
transported around the facility. The transporters allow easier load-out of smaller decks and they provide more agility for the movement of deck sections throughout the yard than cranes. Gulf Island owns a deck barge which gives it the ability to
move material and equipment to and from the various facilities more conveniently and reduce the cost of barge rentals and certain other transportation costs. Gulf Island performs routine repairs and maintenance on all of its equipment.

Gulf Islands plate bending rolls allow it to roll and weld into tubular pipe sections approximately 50,000 tons of plate per year.
By having such capacity at its fabrication facility, Gulf Island is able to coordinate all aspects of platform construction, thereby reducing the risk of cost overruns, delays in project completion, and labor costs. In addition, these facilities
allow Gulf Island to participate as subcontractor on projects awarded to other contractors. Gulf Island has a state of the art, fully enclosed, and environmentally friendly blast and coating facility that can operate 24 hours a day. The facility is
automated and provides blasting and coating activities in support of our Houma fabrication projects. The design output of the facility also allows us to provide blast and paint services to the local shipbuilding industry. The use of this equipment
provides Gulf Island a competitive advantage by reducing labor costs.

Gulf Islands panel line system, located in its
west yard, consists of six individual in-line fully automated systems utilized to cut, weld, and assemble panels to be used in marine vessel construction. The first station consists of an ESAB Avenger 3 Plasma cutting table for high speed cutting
and beveling of steel plates and shapes. The second station incorporates an Ogden Model OSWS-5600 single sided welder complete with an electro magnetic plate holding system whereby two steel plates are automatically welded together in a single pass
utilizing a multiple sub arc welding process. This process can be repeated up to four times with a result of a single panel having an overall dimension of 40 by 50 feet. An ESAB Avenger 3-13 plate marking and cutting machine is positioned at the
third station which lays out the welded panels, marks the applicable locations for

stiffeners installation, and cuts the plate to required configurations. The fourth station utilizes an Ogden Model SF-5600 stiffener fitting system to properly align and tack in place the plate
stiffeners. The fifth station consists of an Ogden Model SW-5600-3 multiple stiffener welding system whereby three longitudinal plate stiffeners can be automatically welded (both sides) in a single operation performing continuous or intermittent
welding of the stiffeners. There is also an automated conveyor system that operates along the panel line which transfers the panels from station to station. The sixth station is a vertical lifting system that elevates the fabricated panels to the
required height for transportation to the field.

Gulf Island Marine owns a 9,000 ton Dry Dock used to supplement our marine
construction operations in Houma. The Dry Dock is 240 feet long by 160 feet wide and 140 feet wide between the wing walls. The bottom is 10 feet deep with 30 foot walls above the bottom. The Dry Dock is used for maintenance and repairs to third
party marine vessels, as well as to launch vessels being fabricated at our facilities.

Dolphin Services owns three spud
barges for use in connection with its inshore construction activities. Each barge is equipped with a crane with a lifting capacity of 60 to 100 tons each. Dolphin Services also owns three Manitowoc 4100 cranes with lifting capacities of 200 to 230
tons each and two smaller crawler cranes with lifting capacities of 60 tons each. Dolphin also owns a Model 2516 tug boat with two 300 horsepower engines. This boat is 26 feet long by 16 feet wide and is used to push our three spud barges and to
reduce costs on tug rentals.

Gulf Marines SLD is a twin boom device with a below hook rating of 4,000 tons at a radius
of 207 feet from the bulkhead. The 410-foot booms are 100 feet apart and provide a lifting height of 317 feet from the water. The unit is powered electro-hydraulically with each drum winch driven independently by two hydraulic motors. The lifting
rate utilizing the double drum winch is 1.25 feet per minute and utilizing a single drum winch is 2.5 feet per minute. Gulf Marine also owns 13 crawler cranes, which range in tonnage capacity from 230 to 660 tons each. Gulf Marines pipe mill
is equipped with a Haeusler Quad Roll, and Bertsch Model 30, Model 34 and Model 36 plate bending roll machines for diameters ranging from 1 foot 6 inches to 10 feet and one large diameter plate bending roll machine, the Haeusler Quad Roll, for
diameters ranging from 3 feet to 23 feet. The two Romar CNC-controlled flame planers, each with four torch stations (two torches per station), are used to cut steel plate up to 12 feet wide and 65 feet long. The Gulf Marine paint facility is
equipped with a Pangborn shot blast machine, 20,000 square feet of climate controlled staging area and 16 feet by 14 feet by 125 feet paint booth that can operate 24 hours a day. Gulf Marine owns six rubber-tired, hydraulic modular transporters
(KAMAGType 2406) similar to those in our Houma facility.

Materials and Supplies

The principal materials and supplies we use in the fabrication business are standard steel shapes, steel plate, welding gases, fuel oil,
gasoline and paint, all of which are currently available from many sources, and we do not depend upon any single supplier or source. Recently, prices for raw materials used to produce steel, such as iron ore and coal, have increased. Demand for
steel has also increased both domestically and abroad. Standard delivery from a steel mill is about 8-10 weeks. However, domestic steel mills are currently not confirming new orders, neither to price nor delivery, due to demand. Foreign mills are
offering firm orders, but delivery lead-time is longer by an additional 8-10 weeks. Steel prices have increased 25% to 30% from November 2010 to now, with such prices expected to continue and/or increase further through most of 2011. We often
negotiate escalation clauses in our contract terms to increase the contract price proportionally with the increase of cost of materials purchased during the life of the contract.

Safety and Quality Assurance

Management is concerned with the safety and
health of our employees and maintains a stringent safety assurance program to reduce the possibility of accidents. Our safety department establishes guidelines to ensure compliance with all applicable state and federal safety regulations and
provides training and safety education



7

##### Table of Contents

through orientations for new employees and subcontractors, daily crew safety meetings and first aid and CPR training. We also employ in-house medical personnel. We have a comprehensive drug
program and conduct periodic employee health screenings. A safety committee, whose members consist of management representatives and peer-elected field representatives, meets once a month to discuss safety concerns and suggestions that could prevent
accidents. We also reward our employees with safety awards distributed throughout the year. These awards are the result of observations and audits performed by the safety department and front line supervision.

We fabricate to the standards and regulations of the American Petroleum Institute, the American Welding Society, the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, American Bureau of Shipping, United States Coast Guard and specific customer specifications. We use welding and fabrication procedures in accordance with the latest technology and industry requirements. Training programs have
been instituted to upgrade skilled personnel and maintain high quality standards. In addition, we maintain on-site facilities for the non-destructive testing of all welds, a process performed by an independent contractor.

The quality management systems of Gulf Island, Gulf Island Marine, Dolphin Services, Southport and Gulf Marine are certified as ISO
9001-2008 programs. ISO 9001-2008 is an internationally recognized verification system for quality management overseen by the International Standard Organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. The certification is based on a review of our programs
and procedures designed to maintain and enhance quality production and are subject to annual review and recertification.

Customers and
Contracting

Our customers are primarily major and independent oil and gas exploration and production companies. We also
may perform sub-contract work for one or more of our competitors. Over the past five years, sales of structures and related services used in the Gulf of Mexico by oil and gas exploration and production companies accounted for approximately 73% of
our revenue. Our international sales fluctuate from year-to-year depending on whether and to what extent our customers require installation of fabricated structures outside of the United States. Sales of fabricated structures installed outside the
United States comprised between 1% and 25% of revenue during each of the last five years, and accounted for 3%, 1% and 20% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

A large portion of our revenue has historically been generated by several customers, although not necessarily the same customers from
year-to-year. For example, our largest customers (those which individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue in a given year) accounted for 38% of revenue in 2010 (16% for Eni US Operating Co. Inc., 11% for American Electric Power Service
Corporation and 11% for Versabuild, LLC ), 48% of revenue in 2009 (36% for Bluewater Industries, Inc. and 12% for Eni US Operating Co. Inc.), and 54% of revenue in 2008 (37% for Bluewater Industries, Inc. and 17% for Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine
Engineering, Ltd.). In addition, at December 31, 2010, 99% of our backlog, which consists of work remaining at December 31, 2010 and commitments received through February 28, 2011, was attributable to 23 projects involving 12
customers. Of our backlog at December 31, 2010, 64.1% is for one customer. The level of fabrication that we may provide to any particular customer depends, among other things, on the size of that customers capital expenditure budget
devoted to project construction plans in a particular year and our ability to meet the customers delivery schedule. Thus, customers that account for a significant portion of revenue in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of
revenue in subsequent years.

While customers may consider other factors, including the availability, capability, reputation
and safety record of a contractor, price and the ability to meet a customers delivery schedule are the principal factors on which we are awarded contracts. Our contracts generally vary in length from one month to 24 months depending on the
size and complexity of the project. Generally, our contracts and projects are subject to termination at any time prior to completion, at the option of the customer. Upon termination, however, the customer is generally required to pay us for work
performed and materials purchased through the date of termination and, in some instances, cancellation fees.

##### Table of Contents

Most of our projects are awarded on a fixed-price, unit rate, alliance/partnering or
cost-plus basis. Under fixed-price contracts, we receive the price fixed in the contract, subject to adjustment only for change orders approved by the customer. As a result, we retain all cost savings but are also responsible for all cost overruns.
Under a unit rate contract, material items or labor tasks are assigned unit rates of measure. The unit rates of measure will generally be amount of dollars per ton, per foot, per square foot, per item installed, etc. A typical unit rate
contract can contain hundreds to thousands of unit rates of measure that all accumulate to determine the total contract value. Profit margins are built in to the unit rates and, similar to a fixed price contract, we retain all cost savings but are
also responsible for all cost overruns. Under typical alliance/partnering arrangements, the parties agree in advance to a target price that includes specified levels of labor and material costs and profit margins. If the project is completed at less
cost than that targeted in the contract, the contract price is reduced by a portion of the savings. If the cost of completion is greater than that targeted in the contract, the contract price is increased, but generally to the target price plus the
actual incremental cost of materials and direct labor costs. Accordingly, under alliance/partnering arrangements, we have some protection from cost overruns but also share a portion of any cost savings with the customer. Under cost-plus
arrangements, pursuant to which we receive a specified fee in excess of our direct labor and material costs, we are protected against cost overruns but do not benefit directly from cost savings. Because we generally price materials as pass-through
items on our contracts, the cost and productivity of our labor force are the primary factors affecting our operating costs. Consequently, it is essential that we control the cost and productivity of the direct labor hours worked on our projects. As
an aid to achieving this control, we place a single project manager in charge of the production operations related to each project and give significant discretion to the project manager, with oversight by the applicable subsidiarys president
and our president. As an incentive to control costs, each of Gulf Island, Gulf Island Marine, Dolphin Services and Gulf Marine give bonuses to its employees totaling 5% to 6% of their separate company income before taxes depending on job position.

Seasonality

Although high activity levels in the oil and gas industry and capacity limitations can somewhat diminish the seasonal effects on our
operation, our operations have historically been subject to seasonal variations in weather conditions and daylight hours. Since most of our construction activities take place outdoors, the number of direct labor hours worked generally declines
during the winter months due to an increase in rainy and cold conditions and a decrease in daylight hours. In addition, our customers often schedule the completion of their projects during the summer months in order to take advantage of the milder
weather during such months for the installation of their platforms. In recent years, seasonality has had less of an impact on income, mainly due to our ongoing investment in machinery and equipment and covered fabrication areas.

The table below indicates for each quarter of the last three fiscal years the percentage of the annual revenue, gross profit and net
income, and the number of direct labor hours worked. Because of seasonal effects, full year results are not likely to be a direct multiple of any particular quarter or combination of quarters. Reductions in industry activity levels may tend to
increase the seasonal effects on our operations.

Competition

The offshore platform fabrication industry is highly competitive and influenced by events largely outside of the control of offshore platform fabrication companies. Platform fabrication companies compete
intensely for available projects, which are generally awarded on a competitive bid basis with customers usually requesting bids on projects one to three months prior to commencement. Our marketing staff contacts engineering companies and oil and gas
companies believed to have fabrication projects scheduled to allow us an opportunity to bid for the projects. Although price and the contractors ability to meet a customers delivery schedule are the principal factors in determining which
qualified fabricator is awarded a contract for a project, customers also consider, among other things, the availability of technically capable personnel and facility space, a fabricators efficiency, condition of equipment, reputation, safety
record and customer relations.

We currently have several domestic competitors, including J. Ray McDermott, S.A. and Kiewit
Offshore Services, for the fabrication of platform jackets to be installed in water depths greater than 300 feet. In addition to these companies, we compete with other fabricators for platform jackets for intermediate water depths from 150 feet to
300 feet. A number of other companies compete for projects designed for shallower waters. Certain of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we do.

We believe that while new competitors can enter the market for smaller structures relatively easily, it is more difficult to enter the market for jackets designed for use in water depths greater than 300
feet. This difficulty results from the substantial investment required to establish an adequate facility, the difficulty of locating a facility adjacent to an adequate waterway due to environmental and wetland regulations, and the limited
availability of experienced supervisory and management personnel.

We believe that our competitive pricing, expertise in
fabricating offshore structures and the certification of our facilities as ISO 9001-2008 fabricators will enable us to continue to compete effectively for projects destined for international waters. We recognize, however, that foreign governments
often use subsidies and incentives to create jobs where oil and gas production is being developed. In addition, the increased transportation costs that are incurred when exporting structures from the U.S. to foreign locations may hinder our ability
to successfully bid for projects against foreign competitors. Because of subsidies, import duties and fees, taxes on foreign operators, lower wage rates in foreign countries, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar, the possible imposition of
tariffs on raw materials imported into the United States and other factors, we may not be able to remain competitive with foreign contractors for projects designed for use in international waters, as well as those designed for use in the Gulf of
Mexico.

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 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 generally required to pay us for work performed and materials purchased through the date of termination and, in some instances,
cancellation fees. In addition, a customer can potentially delay the execution of their project.

As of December 31,
2010, we had a revenue backlog of $486.1 million and a labor backlog of approximately 3.8 million man-hours remaining to work, which consists of work remaining at December 31, 2010 and commitments received through February 28, 2011,
compared to the revenue backlog of $136.8 million and a labor backlog of 1.5 million man-hours reported as of December 31, 2009. Our backlog as of December 31, 2010 includes amounts associated with a contract for the fabrication and
integration of the topsides on a

##### Table of Contents

deepwater Gulf of Mexico project we received and announced on November 23, 2010. Of the backlog at December 31, 2010, 64.1% represents projects for one major global oil and gas company.

Of the backlog at December 31, 2010, $343.4 million, or 70.6%, represented projects destined for deepwater locations
compared to $19.9 million, or 14.5%, of projects destined for deepwater locations included in the December 31, 2009 backlog. Depending on the size of the project, the termination or postponement of any one of our deepwater projects could
significantly reduce our backlog, and could have a material adverse effect on revenue, net income and cash flow.

Of the
backlog at December 31, 2010, we expect to recognize revenues of approximately $304.6 million (62.7%) during calendar year 2011, $177.5 million during calendar year 2012 and the remaining $4.0 million thereafter.

Government and Environmental Regulation

Many aspects of our operations and properties are materially affected by federal, state and local regulations, as well as certain international conventions and private industry organizations. The
exploration and development of oil and gas properties located on the outer continental shelf of the United States is regulated primarily by the Bureau of Ocean Energy, Management and Enforcement (BOEM) of the Department of Interior
(DOI). This agency replaced the former Minerals Management Service. The Secretary of the Interior, through the BOEM, is responsible for the administration of federal regulations under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act requiring the
construction of offshore platforms located on the outer continental shelf to meet stringent engineering and construction specifications. Violations of these regulations and related laws can result in substantial civil and criminal penalties as well
as injunctions curtailing operations. We believe that our operations are in compliance with these and all other regulations affecting the fabrication of platforms for delivery to the outer continental shelf of the United States. In addition, we
depend on the demand for our services from the oil and gas industry and, therefore, can be affected by changes in taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas industry. Offshore construction and drilling in
certain areas has also been opposed by environmental groups and, in certain areas, has been restricted. To the extent laws are enacted or other governmental actions are taken that prohibit or restrict offshore construction and drilling or impose
environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to the oil and gas industry in general and the offshore construction industry in particular, our business and prospects could be adversely affected. We cannot determine to what
extent future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations.

Until our acquisition of the Gulf Marine facilities, the Houma Navigation Canal provided the only means of access from our facilities to
open waters. The Houma Navigation Canal is considered to be a navigable waterway of the United States and, as such, is protected by federal law from unauthorized obstructions that would hinder water-borne traffic. Federal law also authorizes federal
maintenance of the canal by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. The canal requires dredging to maintain its water depth and, while federal funding for this dredging has been provided for over 40 years, there is no assurance that Congressional
appropriations sufficient for adequate dredging and other maintenance of the canal will be continued indefinitely. If sufficient funding were not appropriated for that purpose, the Houma Navigation Canal could become impassable by barges or other
vessels required to transport many of our products and could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and financial position.

Our operations and properties are subject to a wide variety of increasingly complex and stringent foreign, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing discharges
into the air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by hazardous substances and the health and safety of employees. These laws may provide for strict
liability for damages to natural resources and threats to public health and safety, rendering a party liable for the environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such party. Sanctions for noncompliance may include
revocation of permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties and criminal prosecution. Certain environmental laws provide for strict, joint and several liability for remediation of



11

##### Table of Contents

spills and other releases of hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural resources. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of
alleged exposure to hazardous substances. Such laws and regulations may also expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time we performed them.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, and similar laws provide for
responses to and liability for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Additionally, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Emergency Planning and Community
Right to Know Act, each as amended, and similar foreign, state or local counterparts to these federal laws, regulate air emissions, water discharges, hazardous substances and wastes, and require public disclosure related to the use of various
hazardous substances. Compliance with such environmental laws and regulations may require the acquisition of permits or other authorizations for certain activities and compliance with various standards or procedural requirements. We believe that our
facilities are in substantial compliance with current regulatory standards.

Our operations are also governed by laws and
regulations relating to workplace safety and worker health, primarily the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, various other governmental and quasi-governmental agencies require us to obtain certain
permits, licenses and certificates with respect to our operations. The kinds of permits, licenses and certificates required by our operations depend upon a number of factors. We believe that we have all material permits, licenses and certificates
necessary for the conduct of our existing business.

Our compliance with these laws and regulations has entailed certain
additional expenses and changes in operating procedures, which during the last three years have resulted in annual expenditures between $450,000 to $700,000. We believe that compliance with these laws and regulations will not have a material adverse
effect on our business or financial condition for the foreseeable future. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, or stricter or
different interpretations of existing laws and regulations, may require additional expenditures by us, which expenditures may be material.

Our employees may engage in certain activities, including interconnect piping and other service activities conducted on offshore platforms, activities performed on the spud barges owned or chartered by
us, marine vessel fabrication and repair activities performed at our facilities, and operating vessels owned by us, that are covered in either the provisions of the Jones Act or U.S. Longshoreman and Harbor Workers Act (USL&H). These
laws operate to make the liability limits established under state workers compensation laws inapplicable to these employees and, instead, permit them or their representatives to pursue actions against us for damages or job related injuries,
with generally no limitations on our potential liability. Our ownership and operation of vessels and our fabrication and repair of customer vessels can give rise to large and varied liability risks, such as risks of collisions with other vessels or
structures, sinkings, fires and other marine casualties, which can result in significant claims for damages against us for, among other things, personal injury, death, property damage, pollution and loss of business.

In addition, our operations are subject to extensive government regulation by the United States Coast Guard, as well as various private
industry organizations such as the American Petroleum Institute, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Welding Society and the American Bureau of Shipping.

Insurance

We maintain insurance against property damage caused by fire,
flood, explosion and similar catastrophic events that may result in physical damage or destruction to our facilities. All policies are subject to deductibles and other coverage limitations. We also maintain a builders risk policy for
construction projects, general liability insurance and maritime employers liability insurance which are also subject to deductibles and coverage

##### Table of Contents

limitations. The Company and our subsidiaries, Gulf Island, Dolphin Services and Gulf Island Marine are self-insured for workers compensation and USL&H claims except for losses in
excess of $300,000 per occurrence. Gulf Marine and Gulf Island Resources workers compensation and USL&H coverage is similar to that of Gulf Island, Dolphin Services and Gulf Island Marine, except that the coverage is subject to a
$300,000 per occurrence deductible. Dolphin Steel Sales workers compensation and USL&H coverage is similar to Gulf Marine and Gulf Island Resources except that the coverage is subject to no retention per occurrence. Although
management believes that our insurance is adequate, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance at rates which management considers commercially reasonable, nor can there be any assurance that such coverage will be
adequate to cover all claims that may arise.

Employees

Our workforce varies based on the level of ongoing fabrication activity at any particular time. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had approximately 1,250 and 1,400 employees, respectively.
Additionally, we will use contract labor when required to meet customer demand. The workforce was reduced during 2010 as a cost reduction measure. Due to the recent award of significant contracts, we will again focus on hiring employees in 2011 to
meet the increasing level of activity. None of our employees are employed pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe our relationship with our employees is good.

Our ability to remain productive and profitable depends substantially on our ability to attract and retain skilled construction workers,
primarily welders, fitters and equipment operators. In addition, our ability to expand our operations depends not only upon customer demand but also on our ability to increase our labor force. The demand for such workers is high and the supply is
extremely limited, especially during periods of high activity in the oil and gas industry. While we believe our relationship with our skilled labor force is good, a significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a
reduction in our skilled labor force, increases in the wage rates we may pay, or both. If either of these occurred in the near-term the profits expected from work in progress could be reduced or eliminated and in the long-term, to the extent such
wage increases could not be passed on to our customers, our production capacity could be diminished and the growth potential could be impaired. In an effort to maintain our current workforce and attract new employees in periods of high activity, we
have enhanced several incentive programs and expanded our training facility to train our employees on productivity and safety matters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Cautionary Statement

Our business is subject to significant risks. We caution readers that the following important factors could affect our actual consolidated results and could cause our actual consolidated results in the
future to differ materially from the goals and expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this report and in any other forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.

We are subject to the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry.

Our business depends primarily on the level of activity by oil and gas companies in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Gulf Coast. This level of activity has traditionally been volatile as a result of
fluctuations in oil and gas prices and their uncertainty in the future. The purchases of the products and services we provide are, to a substantial extent, deferrable in the event oil and gas companies reduce capital expenditures. Therefore, the
willingness of our customers to make expenditures is critical to our operations. The levels of such capital expenditures are influenced by, among other things:



| |  |  | oil and gas prices and industry perceptions of future prices;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of oil and gas companies to generate capital;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | 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, federal and international political and economic conditions; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | uncertainty regarding the United States energy policy, particularly any revision, reinterpretation or creation of environmental and tax laws and
regulations that would negatively impact the industry.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although activity levels in production and
development sectors of the oil and gas industry are less immediately affected by changing prices and as a result, less volatile than the exploration sector, producers generally react to declining oil and gas prices by reducing expenditures. This has
in the past and may in the future adversely affect our business. We are unable to predict future oil and gas prices or the level of oil and gas industry activity. A prolonged low level of activity in the oil and gas industry will adversely affect
the demand for our products and services and our financial condition and results of operations.

We might be unable to employ a sufficient
number of skilled workers.

Our ability to remain productive and profitable depends substantially on our ability to attract
and retain skilled construction workers, primarily welders, fitters and equipment operators. In addition, our ability to expand our operations depends not only upon customer demand, but also on our ability to increase our labor force. The demand for
such workers is high and the supply is extremely limited, especially during periods of high activity in the oil and gas industry. While we believe our relationship with our skilled labor force is good, a significant increase in the wages paid by
competing employers could result in a reduction in our skilled labor force, increases in the wage rates we pay, increase in our use of contract labor, or all of these. Additionally, reductions made, from time to time, in our labor force may make it
more difficult for us to increase our labor force to desirable levels during periods of increased customer demand for our services.

If any of these occurred in the near-term, the profits expected from work in progress could be reduced or eliminated and, in the long-term, to the extent wage increases could not be passed on to our
customers, our production capacity could be diminished and growth potential could be impaired.

Our backlog is subject to change and may be
adversely affected by the loss of or failure to secure deepwater projects.

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 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 generally required to pay us for work performed and materials purchased through the date of termination and, in some instances, cancellation fees. In addition, a customer can potentially delay the execution of their
project.

Deepwater projects have historically represented a significant part of our backlog. With respect to backlog at
December 31, 2010, $343.4 million, or 70.6%, represented mostly two projects destined for deepwater locations. Depending on the size of the project, the termination or postponement of any one of our deepwater projects could significantly reduce
our backlog, and could have a material adverse effect on revenue, net income and cash flow.

The dangers inherent in our operations and the limits on insurance coverage could expose us to
potentially significant liability costs and materially interfere with the performance of our operations.

The fabrication
of large steel structures involves operating hazards that can cause personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment and suspension of operations. The failure of such structures during and after
installation can result in similar injuries and damages. In addition, our employees may engage in certain activities, including interconnect piping and other service activities conducted on offshore platforms, activities performed on the spud barges
owned or chartered by us, marine vessel fabrication and repair activities performed at our facilities, and operating vessels owned by us, that are covered in either the provisions of the Jones Act or USL&H. These laws operate to make the
liability limits established under state workers compensation laws inapplicable to these employees and, instead, permit them or their representatives to pursue actions against us for damages or job related injuries, with generally no
limitations on our potential liability.

Our ownership and operation of vessels can give rise to large and varied liability
risks, such as risks of collisions with other vessels or structures, sinking, fires and other marine casualties, which can result in significant claims for damages against both us and third parties for, among other things, personal injury, death,
property damage, pollution and loss of business. Litigation arising from any such occurrences may result in our being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims. In addition, due to their proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, our facilities
are subject to the possibility of physical damage caused by hurricanes or flooding, as occurred in 2008.

Although we believe
that our insurance coverage is adequate, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable or that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover future claims that may
arise. Successful claims for which we are not fully insured may adversely affect our working capital and profitability. In addition, changes in the insurance industry have generally led to higher insurance costs and decreased availability of
coverage. The availability of insurance that covers risks we and our competitors typically insure against may decrease, and the insurance that we are able to obtain may have higher deductibles, higher premiums and more restrictive policy terms.

Our industry is highly competitive.

The offshore platform industry is highly competitive and influenced by events largely outside of our control. Contracts for our services are generally awarded on a competitive bid basis, and our customers
consider many factors when awarding a job. These factors include price, the contractors ability to meet the customers delivery schedule, and to a lesser extent, the availability and capability of equipment, and the reputation, experience
and safety record of the contractor. Although we believe that our reputation for safety and quality service is good, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain our competitive position. We compete with both large and small companies for
available jobs, and certain of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we do.

In addition, because of
subsidies, import duties and fees, taxes imposed on foreign operators and lower wage rates in foreign countries, along with fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and other factors, we may not be able to remain competitive with foreign
contractors for projects designed for use in international locations as well as those designed for use in the Gulf of Mexico. See Business and PropertiesCompetition for more information regarding the competitive nature of our
industry.

Competitive pricing common in the marine construction industry may not provide sufficient protection from cost overruns.

As is common in the offshore platform fabrication industry, a substantial number of our projects are performed on a
fixed-price basis, although some projects are performed on an alliance/partnering or cost-plus basis. Under fixed-price or unit-rate contracts, we receive the price fixed in the contract, subject to adjustment



15

##### Table of Contents

only for change orders placed by the customer. Under a unit rate contract, material items or labor tasks are assigned unit rates of measure. The unit rates of measure will generally be an amount
of dollars per ton, per foot, per square foot, per item installed, etc. A typical unit rate contract can contain hundreds to thousands of unit rates of measure that all accumulate to determine the total contract value. Profit margins are built
in to the unit rates and, similar to a fixed price contract, we retain all cost savings but are also responsible for all cost overruns. Under typical alliance/partnering arrangements, the parties agree in advance to a target price that includes
specified levels of labor and material costs and profit margins. If the project is completed at less cost than that targeted in the contract, the contract price is reduced by a portion of the savings. If the cost to completion is greater than target
costs, the contract price is increased, but generally to the target price plus the actual incremental cost of materials and direct labor. Accordingly, under alliance/partnering arrangements, we have some protection against cost overruns but must
share a portion of any cost savings with the customer. Under cost-plus arrangements, we receive a specified fee in excess of our direct labor and material cost and thus are protected against cost overruns but do not benefit directly from cost
savings. Some contracts include a total or partial reimbursement to us of any costs associated with specific capital projects required by the fabrication process. If a capital project provides future benefits to us, the cost to build the capital
project will be capitalized, and the revenue for the capital project will increase the estimated profit in the contract.

The
revenue, costs and gross profit realized on a contract will often vary from the estimated amounts on which such contracts were originally based due to, among other things:



| |  |  | changes in the availability and cost of labor and material;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | variations in productivity from the original estimates; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in estimates or bidding.
| | - |  | --------------------------------

These variations and the risks inherent in our industry may result in revenue and gross profits different from those originally estimated and reduce profitability or create losses on projects. Depending
on the size of a project, variations from estimated contract performance can have a significant impact on our operating results for any particular fiscal quarter or year. See Business and PropertiesCustomer and Contracting.

Our method of accounting for revenue could result in an earnings charge.

Most of our revenue is recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis based on the ratio of direct labor hours worked to the total
estimated direct labor hours required for completion. Accordingly, contract price and cost estimates are reviewed monthly as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in revenue for the period
when such estimates are revised. To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits, we are required to recognize a charge against current earnings, which may be significant depending on the size
of the project or the adjustment.

We are susceptible to adverse weather conditions in our market areas.

Our operations are directly affected by the seasonal differences in weather patterns in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as daylight hours.
Since most of our construction activities take place outdoors, the number of direct labor hours worked generally declines in the winter months due to an increase in rainy and cold conditions and a decrease in daylight hours. The seasonality of oil
and gas industry activity as a whole in the Gulf Coast region also affects our operations. Our customers often schedule the completion of their projects during the summer months in order to take advantage of the milder weather during such months for
the installation of their platforms. The rainy weather, tropical storms, hurricanes and other storms prevalent in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Gulf Coast throughout the year, such as Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008, may also affect our
operations. Accordingly, our operating results may vary from quarter to quarter, depending on factors outside of our control. As a result, full year results are not likely to be a direct multiple of any particular quarter or combination of quarters.

We depend on key personnel.

Our success depends to a great degree on the abilities of our key management personnel, particularly our Chief Executive Officer and other high-ranking executives. The loss of the services of one or more
of these key employees could adversely affect us.

We depend on significant customers.

We derive a significant amount of our revenue from a small number of major and independent oil and gas companies, although not necessarily
the same customers from year to year. Because the level of fabrication that we may provide to any particular customer depends, among other things, on the size of that customers capital expenditure budget devoted to platform construction plans
in a particular year and our ability to meet the customers delivery schedule, customers that account for a significant portion of our revenue in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of revenue in subsequent years. For example,
our largest customers (those which individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue in a given year) accounted for 38% of revenue in 2010 (16% for Eni US Operating Co. Inc., 11% for American Electric Power Service Corporation and 11% for
Versabuild, LLC ), 48% of revenue in 2009 (36% for Bluewater Industries, Inc. and 12% for Eni US Operating Co. Inc.), and 54% of revenue in 2008 (37% for Bluewater Industries, Inc. and 17% for Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, Ltd.). The
loss of a significant customer for any reason, including a sustained decline in that customers capital expenditure budget or competitive factors, can result in a substantial loss of revenue and could have a material adverse effect on our
operating performance.

The nature of our industry subjects us to compliance with regulatory and environmental laws.

Our operations and properties are materially affected by state and federal laws and other regulations relating to the oil and gas industry
in general, and are also subject to a wide variety of foreign, federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those governing discharges into the air and water, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, the
remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by hazardous substances and the health and safety of employees. Further, compliance with many of these laws is becoming increasingly complex, stringent and expensive. Many impose strict
liability for damages to natural resources or threats to public health and safety, rendering a party liable for the environmental damage without regard to its negligence or fault. Certain environmental laws provide for strict, joint and
several liability for remediation of spills and other releases of hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural resources. In addition, we could be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to
hazardous substances. Such laws and regulations may also expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others, or for acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time such acts were performed. We believe that our
present operations substantially comply with applicable federal and state pollution control and environmental protection laws and regulations. We also believe that compliance with such laws has had no material adverse effect on our operations.
However, such environmental laws are changed frequently. Sanctions for noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders, administrative or civil penalties and criminal prosecution. We are unable to predict whether
environmental laws will materially adversely affect our future operations and financial results. See Business and PropertiesGovernment and Environmental Regulations.

The demand for our services is also affected by changing taxes, price controls and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas
industry generally. Offshore construction and drilling in certain areas has also been opposed by environmental groups and, in certain areas, has been restricted. To the extent laws are enacted or other governmental actions are taken that prohibit or
restrict offshore construction and drilling or impose environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to the oil and gas industry in general and the offshore construction industry in particular, our business and prospects could
be adversely affected. We cannot determine to what extent future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations.

Our business is highly dependent on our ability to utilize the Houma Navigational Canal.

The Houma Navigation Canal provides the only means of access from our Louisiana facilities to open waters. The Houma Navigation Canal is
considered to be a navigable waterway of the United States and, as such, is protected by federal law from unauthorized obstructions that would hinder water-borne traffic. Federal law also authorizes federal maintenance of the canal by the United
States Corps of Engineers. The canal requires bi-annual dredging to maintain its water depth and, while federal funding for this dredging has been provided for over 40 years, there is no assurance that Congressional appropriations sufficient for
adequate dredging and other maintenance of the canal will be continued indefinitely. If sufficient funding were not appropriated for that purpose, the Houma Navigation Canal could become impassable by barges or other vessels required to transport
many of our products and could result in material and adverse affects on our operations and financial position.

We may not collect all or
part of $5.9 million currently receivable from our insurance provider in connection with a crane accident.

At
December 31, 2010, we have recorded $5.9 million, net of advances received from our insurance provider, in Other receivables related to an insurance claim for costs that we have determined are recoverable 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 amounts 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
this claim in our income statement and will not record any gains until the claim is settled.

The $5.9 million claim relates
to 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. In addition, we
have one crane with a carrying value of approximately $2.9 million that is pending determination from the insurance carrier whether to repair or replace that crane. Our insurance provider has filed a declaratory judgment action in U.S. District
Court, Eastern District of Louisiana seeking to deny insurance coverage of the costs of renting cranes to mitigate business-interruption damages that might otherwise have been incurred as a result of the accident. We are defending ourselves from the
insurers request for a declaratory judgment that crane-rental coverage is limited to $450,000, when in fact we believe there is coverage for all amounts that have been, or will be, expended under the terms of the policy.

A hearing was held in January 2011 and we are awaiting a final ruling from that hearing with respect to our claim. We intend to continue
to pursue this matter through these legal proceedings and although there can be no assurances made as to the ultimate outcome, we, in consultation with outside legal counsel, believe it is probable that all of our claim will ultimately be fully
recoverable under our insurance policies. In January 2011, we deposited a $1.1 million check from our insurance provider toward the total loss of the damaged crane discussed above involved in the accident, without prejudice to our continuing to
pursue full recovery.

The Deepwater Horizon incident could have a material adverse effect on our oil and gas fabrication operations.

In April 2010, the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, which was engaged in deepwater drilling operations in the Gulf of
Mexico, sank after an explosion and fire, resulting in one of the most significant oil spills in U.S. history. As a result, on May 28, 2010, the DOI imposed a six-month moratorium on offshore deepwater drilling operations, the enforcement of
which was preliminarily enjoined. On July 12, 2010, the DOI imposed another similar moratorium set to expire November 30, 2010. As a result, deepwater drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico were suspended. On October 12, 2010, the
DOI lifted the moratorium on deepwater drilling. Although the moratorium has been lifted, the BOEM has issued regulations regarding safety, environmental matters and drilling and may take additional actions that could adversely affect drilling
activity in the Gulf of Mexico. It is not possible to estimate whether or when drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico will return to normal activity levels.

##### Table of Contents

We believe that the Deepwater Horizon incident is likely to result in increased exploration
and production costs, increased regulation of deepwater drilling operations and greater difficulty in obtaining drilling permits. Any one or more of these may cause some of our customers to decrease or eliminate drilling activities in the Gulf of
Mexico, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various routine legal proceedings in the normal conduct of our
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. See Note 6 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional information concerning our outstanding proceedings. 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 our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

Introduction and Outlook

Our results of operations are affected primarily by (i) the level of exploration and development activity maintained by oil and gas exploration and production companies in the Gulf of Mexico, and to
a lesser extent, foreign locations throughout the world, (ii) our ability to win contracts through competitive bidding or alliance/partnering arrangements, and (iii) our ability to manage those contracts to successful completion. The level
of exploration and development activity is related to several factors, including trends in oil and gas prices, expectations of future oil and gas prices, changes in technology and changes in the regulatory environment, including new permitting
processes and increased regulation imposed on domestic oil and gas exploration by the Bureau of Ocean Energy, Regulation and Enforcement.

We believe the downturn in the oil and gas industry that began in late 2008 brought on by the rapid decline in oil and gas prices adversely impacted our business during 2009 and 2010, but will begin to
reverse in 2011. Oil prices have continued to increase since they fell below $40 a barrel in early 2009 and are now $80 to $90 a barrel and could possibly increase further. As a result, the ability of oil and gas producers to raise capital has
improved and bidding activity, particularly for deepwater projects, has increased. We believe margins will begin to improve as production volumes increase based on projects currently in our backlog. Cost reduction measures were taken during the last
two years and will continue to be monitored as production levels increase. We will continue to focus on managing the increasing costs of raw materials and restoring our labor force. In the longer term, demand for our products and services will
continue to depend largely upon prices for oil and gas and our customers cost of regulatory compliance, which at this time is difficult to predict. However, we believe current oil prices will be maintained and supported by domestic and foreign
demand and as the changing domestic regulatory environment can be managed profitably by our customers.

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 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 generally required to pay us for work performed and materials purchased
through the date of termination and, in some instances, cancellation fees. In addition, a customer can potentially delay the execution of their project.

As of December 31, 2010, we had a revenue backlog of $486.1 million and a labor backlog of approximately 3.8 million man-hours remaining to work, which consists of work remaining at
December 31, 2010 and commitments received through February 28, 2011, compared to the revenue backlog of $136.8 million and a labor backlog of 1.5 million man-hours reported as of December 31, 2009. Our backlog as of
December 31, 2010 includes amounts associated with a contract for the fabrication and integration of the topsides on a deepwater Gulf of Mexico project we received and announced on November 23, 2010. Of the backlog at December 31,
2010, 64.1% represents projects for one major global oil and gas company.

Of the backlog at December 31, 2010, $343.4
million, or 70.6%, represented projects destined for deepwater locations compared to $19.9 million, or 14.5%, of projects destined for deepwater locations included in the December 31, 2009 backlog. Depending on the size of the project, the
termination or postponement of any one of our deepwater projects could significantly reduce our backlog, and could have a material adverse effect on revenue, net income and cash flow.

##### Table of Contents

Of the backlog at December 31, 2010, we expect to recognize revenues of approximately
$304.6 million (62.7%) during calendar year 2011, $177.5 million during calendar year 2012 and the remaining $4.0 million thereafter.

Workforce

During 2010,
our workforce ranged from approximately 1,250 to 1,400. Demand for our products and services dictates our workforce needs. Although we generally try to minimize the use of contract labor, we will use contract labor when required to meet customer
demand. For 2010, our use of contract labor ranged from approximately 10 to 40 contract laborers.

The workforce was reduced
during 2010 as a cost reduction measure. Due to the recent award of significant contracts, we will again focus on hiring employees in 2011 to meet the increasing level of activity.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that of our significant accounting policies (see Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements), the following involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity:

Revenue Recognition

The majority of our revenue is recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis based on the ratio of direct labor hours actually performed
to date compared to the total estimated direct labor hours required for completion. Accordingly, contract price and cost estimates are reviewed monthly as the work progresses, and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are
reflected in revenue for the period when such estimates are revised. If these adjustments were to result in a reduction of previously reported profits, we would have to recognize a charge against current earnings, which may be significant depending
on the size of the project or the adjustment.

Some contracts include a total or partial reimbursement to us of any costs
associated with specific capital projects required by the fabrication process. If a particular capital project provides future benefits to us, the cost to build the capital project will be capitalized, and the revenue for the capital project will
increase the estimated profit in the contract.

Contract costs include all direct material, labor and subcontract costs and
those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies and tools. Also included in contract costs are a portion of those indirect contract costs related to plant capacity, such as depreciation, insurance and repairs
and maintenance. These indirect costs are allocated to jobs based on actual direct labor hours incurred. Profit incentives are included in revenue when their realization is probable. Claims for extra work or changes in scope of work are included in
revenue when the amount can be reliably estimated and collection is probable. No revenues were recorded at December 31, 2010 related to unapproved change orders. We had $468,000 of change orders, approved as to scope but not price, recorded at
December 31, 2009 that were approved in the first quarter of 2010. We had $6.9 million of change orders, related to re-measure issues primarily involving one customer, recorded at December 31, 2008. These issues were settled and resulted
in the recognition of an additional $400,000 of revenue in the first quarter of 2009. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. We recognized contract losses of $1.3 million,
$1.4 million, and $1.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

For the
twelve month period ended December 31, 2010, our revenue was $248.3 million, a decrease of 20.3%, compared to $311.5 million in revenue for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009.The following factors contributed to the
decrease in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009:



| |  |  | Man-hours worked have decreased from 3.2 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009 to 2.4 million during the
twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010, representing a decrease of 25.0%.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The most significant impact of the reduction in man-hours worked was to our Texas facility which is a direct result of the reduction in new job awards
for deepwater projects. Since 2006, the majority of the work performed at our Texas facility was on larger deepwater projects. The MinDOC hull was the last large deepwater project fabricated in our Texas facility and it sailed in November 2009.
Until November 23, 2010, the fabrication awards for the facility have been limited to large diameter tanks, multi-size modules and a 10,000 ton lifting system. Consequently, the decrease in activity at our Texas facility during 2010 contributed
to the majority of the decrease in man-hours.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010 and
2009, gross profit was $23.3 million (9.4% of revenue) for 2010 and $39.5 million (12.7% of revenue) for 2009. The low level of production man-hours at our Texas facility during 2010 did not allow us to cover certain fixed costs, which contributed
to the decrease in gross margin. Although we reduced costs at the facility, certain fixed costs could not be eliminated. With the recent award of the contract for the fabrication and integration of the topsides on a deepwater Gulf of Mexico project,
as evidenced in backlog, in 2011 we anticipate gross margins will improve as the man-hours worked increase at our Texas facility.

Our general and administrative expenses were $7.9 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010. This compares to $8.3 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31,
2009. Although the absolute dollar value was less, the percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 3.2% of revenue compared to 2.7% of revenue for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The
reduction in general and administrative expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 was primarily due to a reduction in the number of personnel and related cost (salaries, wages and benefit
related costs). Also contributing to the reduction of general and administrative costs was a reduction in professional service fees.

We had net interest income of $5.0 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010, compared to net interest income of $986,000 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009.
The increase in interest income is primarily related to interest income recognized with respect to the financing arrangement with Bluewater and ATP on the fabrication of the MinDOC I project. On November 29, 2010, we sold the limited overriding
royalty interest with respect to this arrangement to an undisclosed buyer. See Note 2 to in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We had other income of $1.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, compared to a $55,000 loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in other income is a
result of the settlement of claims related to damages incurred in connection with the hurricanes that hit the Gulf Coast in 2008.

Our effective rate was 38.7% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010, compared to 35.3% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009. The increase relates primarily to the
Federal Work Opportunity Tax Credits (WOTC) available to us in 2009, which were no longer available in 2010, a decrease in the Federal qualified production activities income deduction due to a decrease in activity at our Texas facility,

##### Table of Contents

and an increase in Louisiana state income tax apportionments for 2010. We believe in 2011 our effective tax rate will decrease with the expected increase in activity at our Texas facility and, as
a result, the increase in the Federal qualified production activities income deduction.

Comparison of the Years Ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008

For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009, our revenue was $311.5 million,
a decrease of 25.9%, compared to $420.5 million in revenue for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2008.The following factors contributed to the decrease in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2008:



| |  |  | Lack of jobs added to the backlog for several quarters.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Pass through cost decreased 4.6% from 41.2% of revenue for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2008 to 36.6% for the twelve month period
ended December 31, 2009, see Note 12 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The amount of man-hours worked decreased from 3.8 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008 to 3.2 million during the
twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, representing a decrease of 15.8%.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had $468,000 of
change orders, approved as to scope but not price, recorded at December 31, 2009 that were approved in the first quarter of 2010. We had $6.9 million of change orders, related to re-measure issues primarily involving one customer, recorded at
December 31, 2008. These issues were settled and resulted in the recognition of an additional $400,000 of revenue in the first quarter of 2009.

For the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, gross profit was $39.5 million (12.7% of revenue) for 2009 and $52.3 million (12.4% of revenue) for 2008.

The following factors contributed to the increase in gross margin percentage for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009:



| |  |  | Activity levels in 2009 allowed us to decrease our reliance on contract labor used to supplement our labor force necessary to complete the major
projects in progress. Generally, contract labor employees perform less efficiently than company employees, which is normally due to the amount of training, work experience and turnover. During 2009, our weighted-average number of contract employees
was 70 employees compared to 294 contract employees for 2008, a reduction of 76.2%. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, contract labor represented 7.6% of man-hours worked, compared to 19.0% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2009, the total number of contract employees in all facilities is 53.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cost reduction measures, including a reduction in overhead labor costs, were undertaken since the fourth quarter of 2008 to meet the decline in
economic conditions we experienced beginning in 2009.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our general and administrative expenses were $8.3
million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009. This compares to $9.5 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 2.7% of revenue compared
to 2.2% of revenue for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The reduction in general and administrative expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 was primarily due
to a reduction in the number of personnel and related cost (salaries, wages and benefit related costs). Also contributing to the reduction of general and administrative costs was a reduction in professional service fees.

We had net interest income of $986,000 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009, compared to net interest income of
$172,000 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2008. The increase in interest income is primarily related to the amortization of the discount associated with the financing arrangement with Bluewater and ATP on the fabrication of the
MinDOC I project, see Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

##### Table of Contents

Our effective income tax rate was 35.3% for the twelve month period ended December 31,
2009, compared to 32.4% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2008. The increase from the previous twelve-month period is the result of the limitations on certain federal manufacturing tax credits based on our estimated tax provision
for 2009, a reduction in the Federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) available to us in 2009 and a slight increase in state taxes related to an increase in the state taxable income apportionment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically we have funded our business activities through funds generated from operations. Effective July 15, 2010, we entered into the Ninth 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, 2011 to December 31, 2012. The Revolver is secured by some of 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 December 31, 2010, no amounts were borrowed under the Revolver, but
we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $9.7 million. As of February 28, 2011, $8.2 million of these letters of credit outstanding expired, which increased the unused portion of the Revolver to $58.5 million. We are required to maintain
certain covenants, including balance sheet and cash flow ratios. As of December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

At December 31, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $88 million. Working capital was $112.1 million at December 31, 2010. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 7.06 to 1
at December 31, 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities was $96.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase was due to an improvement in our net
contract position of $95.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The change in net contract position primarily resulted from our collection of the remaining $75.4
million on the MinDoc project during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Changes to our contract position include changes in contracts receivable, contract retainage, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts, accounts payable, and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. An overall positive increase in these contract related accounts represents more cash on hand for future working capital needs and less cash
utilized by contracts in progress

Partially offsetting the change in our net contract position was our earnings decrease of
$7.7 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2010, compared to the twelve months ending December 31, 2009, due to the decrease in man-hours worked. The amount of man-hours worked was 2.4 million during the twelve-month
period ending December 31, 2010 as compared to 3.2 million for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2009.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010, was $16.5 million, which related to capital expenditures
for equipment and improvements to our production facilities. Included in capital expenditures for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 was $6.2 million for a fabrication shop and warehouse in the west yard of our Gulf Island facility to
support our increase in marine activities. Also included in capital expenditures for the period was $3.0 million representing approximately one-half of the cost of constructing a gate for the graving dock at our Gulf Marine facilities. The graving
dock gate is expected to be completed in the late first quarter or early second quarter of 2011.

We anticipate capital
expenditures for 2011 to be approximately $35.0 million for the purchase of equipment and additional yard and facility infrastructure improvements, including $1.4 million for the completion of the graving dock gate located in our Gulf Marine
facilities. The gate will allow us to open and



28

##### Table of Contents

close the entrance of the graving dock within a few days as opposed to a few weeks. We believe the new gate will improve our efficiency and enhance services to our customers through a shorter
dock turn-around. Also included is $10.8 million for two Manitowac 18000 cranes, each with a lifting capacity of 660 tons, for our Gulf Marine facilities. These cranes were delivered in the first quarter of 2011. This additional lifting capacity
creates greater efficiencies as we work on future deepwater projects. In addition, $4.0 million is included for six additional KAMAG Type 2406 modular transporters to be delivered to our Gulf Island facilities in the third quarter of 2011. These
additional transporters will create more scheduling flexibility for our customers and provide additional efficiencies during project assembly and load-out.

The $354,000 of net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 included $101,000 of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $124,000 of excess tax benefits
associated with the share-based payment arrangements less $579,000 in payments of dividends on common stock.

We believe that
for the next twelve months, our cash on hand, our cash generated by operating activities and funds available under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures and meet our working capital needs. However, job awards may require
us to issue additional letters of credit further reducing the capacity available on our Revolver. We may also expand our operations through acquisitions in the future, which may require additional equity or debt financing which we believe would be
available to us; however, there can be no assurance that amounts will be available on commercial terms acceptable to us.

The
following table sets forth an aggregation of our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2010, (in thousands).

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of December 31, 2010.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2010 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Gulf
Island Fabrication, Inc.

We have audited Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc.s
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the COSO criteria.

We
have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, and our report dated February 28, 2011, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

DECEMBER 31, 2010

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

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 three 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; barges; lift boats; offshore support vessels and mid-body sections for offshore supply vessels. 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.

Operating Cycle

The lengths of our contracts vary, but are typically longer than one year in duration. Consistent with industry practice, assets and liabilities have been classified as current under the operating cycle
concept whereby all contract-related items are regarded as current regardless of whether cash will be received or paid within a twelve month period. Assets and liabilities classified as current which may not be paid or received within the next
twelve months include contract retainage, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts. However, any variation from normal contract terms
would cause classification of assets and liabilities as long-term. See Note 2 and 17 for further explanation.

Use of
Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expense during the reporting period. Areas requiring significant estimates by our management include contract revenues, costs and profits and the application of percentage-of-completion (POC) method of accounting. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The principal customers of the Company include major and large independent oil and gas companies and their contractors. This concentration
of customers may impact the Companys overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. Receivables are generally not collateralized. In the
normal course of business, the Company extends credit to its customers on a short-term basis. The Company routinely reviews its accounts receivable balances and makes provisions for probable doubtful accounts as it deems appropriate.

Stock-Based Compensation

Awards under the Companys stock-based compensation plans are accounted for under a fair-value based measurement method.

Inventory

Inventory consists of materials and production supplies
and is stated at the lower of cost or market determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

Accrued Employee
CostWorkers Compensation Liability

The Company and its subsidiaries Gulf Island, Gulf Island Marine and Dolphin
Services are self-insured for workers compensation liability except for losses in excess of $300,000 per occurrence for Louisiana workers compensation and for U.S. longshoreman and harbor workers coverage. Gulf Marine has insurance
coverage for Texas workers compensation with a $300,000 deductible. The liability for workers compensation is based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not reported. Our workers compensation liability balance was $1.4 million
and $800,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 25 years. Ordinary maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the physical or economic lives of the plant or equipment, are charged to expense as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. The impairment loss is determined by comparing the fair value of the assets to their carrying amounts and recording the excess of the carrying amounts of the assets over
their fair value as an impairment charge. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, as appropriate.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company bases its fair value
determinations of the carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities on an evaluation of their particular facts and circumstances and valuation techniques that require judgements and estimates. Valuation techniques used to measure fair
value maximize the use of relevent observable inputs and



F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation technique. As
of December 31, 2010, none of our assets or liabilities require fair value determination.

Revenue Recognition

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion accounting method for construction contracts. Revenue from fixed-price
or unit rate contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, computed by the efforts-expended method which measures the percentage of labor hours incurred to date as compared to estimated total labor hours for each contract. This
progress percentage is applied to estimated gross profit for each contract to determine gross profit earned to date. Revenue recognized in a period for a contract is the amount of gross profit earned for that period plus the costs incurred on the
contract during the period.

Under a unit rate contract, material items or labor tasks are assigned unit rates of measure. The
unit rates of measure will generally be an amount of dollars per ton, per foot, per square foot, per item installed, etc. A typical unit rate contract can contain hundreds to thousands of unit rates of measure that all accumulate to determine
the total contract value. Profit margins are built into the unit rates.

Some contracts include a total or partial
reimbursement to us of any costs associated with specific capital projects required by the fabrication process. If a particular capital project provides future benefits to us, the cost to build the capital project will be capitalized, and the
revenue for the capital project will increase the estimated profit in the contract.

Contract costs include all direct
material, labor and subcontract costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies and tools. Also included in contract costs are a portion of those indirect contract costs related to plant capacity,
such as depreciation, insurance and repairs and maintenance. These indirect costs are allocated to jobs based on actual direct labor hours incurred. Profit incentives are included in revenue when their realization is probable. Claims for extra work
or changes in scope of work are included in revenue when the amount can be reliably estimated and collection is probable. No revenues were recorded at December 31, 2010 related to unapproved change orders. We had $468,000 of change orders,
approved as to scope but not price, recorded at December 31, 2009 that were approved in the first quarter of 2010. We had $6.9 million of change orders, related to re-measure issues primarily involving one customer, recorded at
December 31, 2008. These issues were settled and resulted in the recognition of an additional $400,000 of revenue in the first quarter of 2009. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses
are determined. We recognized contract losses of $1.3 million, $1.4 million, and $1.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes have been provided using the liability
method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using enacted rates expected to
be in effect during the year in which the basis differences reverse.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized only when they
are more likely than not to be sustained upon audit. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are recorded in income tax expense. Our federal tax returns have been examined and settled through the 2007 tax year. There were no material
uncertain tax positions to record for the years presented in these statements.

2. 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, estimated to be $90 million,
on the MinDOC I project. Bluewater, an engineering consulting firm, contracted with 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. An
additional $25.5 million was billed on the project under this arrangement through completion, which occurred in stages during the fourth quarter of 2009. Additional changes in the scope of the project in excess of the $90 million were approved by
Bluewater and ATP through change orders. Change orders outside of the restructured payment agreement were fully paid as of December 31, 2010. There were $8.1 million of change orders outside of the restructured payment agreement reflected in
contracts receivable as of December 31, 2009. Change orders were paid in cash and were not part of our restructured payment arrangement.

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. We received the entire $42 million in payments from Bluewater.

Bluewater
agreed to pay the remaining $48 million owed to us pursuant to the assignment of all of its right, title and interest in the Conveyance of Overriding Royalty Interest between Bluewater and ATP. The interest we received from Bluewater is a limited
overriding royalty interest because the amount to be received by us was set not to exceed $48 million. Upon cumulative receipt of the $48 million, the limited overriding royalty would revert back to Bluewater. As of November 29, 2010, we
received $3.4 million pursuant to our limited overriding royalty interest. On November 29, 2010, we sold the limited overriding royalty interest to an undisclosed buyer for an aggregate purchase price of $39.3 million, all of which has been
paid to us by December 31, 2010. As a result of the sale, the assignment of the overriding royalty interest terminated, and the royalty interest has been transferred to the buyer.

We discounted the final estimated contract price on the MinDOC 1 project by $11.0 million, applying discount rates of 10% to the $42
million installment component and 18% to the $48 million royalty interest component, which resulted in a reduction in contract revenue related to the discount to be recognized as interest income in future periods. We recognized $4.6 million and
$961,000 of the discount as interest income during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

There are
no amounts due from Bluewater and ATP subject to our overriding royalty interest included in contract receivables at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2009, $38.8 million of our contracts receivable were subject to the overriding royalty
interest, net of the discount, of which $12.3 million was expected to be paid after one year.

The Company leases certain equipment used in the normal course of its operations under month-to-month lease
agreements cancelable only by the Company. During 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company expensed $2.7 million, $3.3 million, and $6.8 million, respectively, related to these leases. The Companys equipment lease expense increased significantly in
2008 as a result of increased crane capacity requirements of its major projects.

6. OTHER RECEIVABLES

At December 31, 2010, we have recorded $5.9 million, net of advances received from our insurance provider, in Other
receivables related to an insurance claim for costs that we have determined are recoverable 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 amounts 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 this claim in our income statement and will not record any gains until the claim is settled.

The $5.9 million claim relates to 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. In addition, we have one crane with a carrying value of approximately $2.9 million that is pending determination
from the insurance carrier whether to repair or replace that crane. Our insurance provider has filed a declaratory judgment action in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana seeking to deny insurance coverage of the costs of renting
cranes to mitigate business-interruption damages that might otherwise have been incurred as a result of the accident. We are defending ourselves from the insurers request for a declaratory judgment that crane-rental coverage is limited to
$450,000, when in fact we believe there is coverage for all amounts that have been, or will be, expended under the terms of the policy.

A hearing was held in January 2011 and we are awaiting a final ruling from that hearing with respect to our claim. We intend to continue to pursue this matter through these legal proceedings and although
there can be no assurances made as to the ultimate outcome, we, in consultation with outside legal counsel, believe it is probable that all of our claim will ultimately be fully recoverable under our insurance policies. In January 2011, we deposited
a $1.1 million check from our insurance provider toward the total loss of the damaged crane discussed above involved in the accident, without prejudice to our continuing to pursue full recovery.

8. LINE OF CREDIT

Effective July 15, 2010, we entered into the Ninth 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, 2011 to December 31, 2012. The Revolver is secured by some of 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 December 31, 2010, no amounts were borrowed under the Revolver, but we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $9.7 million.
As of February 28, 2011, $8.2 million of these letters of credit outstanding expired, which increased the unused portion of the Revolver to $58.5 million. We are required to maintain certain covenants, including balance sheet and cash flow
ratios. As of December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

9. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

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.

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
sampling to begin in September of 2005. Due to the hurricanes that struck the Louisiana coast in 2005, the scheduled sampling was cancelled. In October 2006, the sampling was completed. This sampling plan was rejected by the LDEQ in April 2008. We
submitted a revised sampling plan to the LDEQ in September 2008 and it was later approved with stipulations. After sampling, we filed a report with the LDEQ in mid July 2010 and now await the agencys review. We have recorded $450,000 of
estimated cost to remediate the site which includes professional fees such as engineering and consulting costs. We have expended $117,000 of this accrual and $333,000 remains accrued at December 31, 2010 which represents costs to remediate the
site once approval is received from the agency.

10. SALES TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Companys customer base is primarily concentrated in the oil and gas industry. Through the Companys marine fabrication
subsidiary, its customer base is expanding into other industries that utilize marine vessels. The Company is not dependent on any one customer, and the revenue earned from each customer varies from year to year based on the contracts awarded. Sales
to customers comprising 10% or more of the Companys total revenue for the years ended December 31 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

12. CONTRACT 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 year ended December 31, 2010, were 36.1% compared to 36.6% and 41.2% for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

13. RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company has a defined contribution plan (the
Retirement Plan) for all employees that are qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Gulf Island Resources employees are not eligible for the Retirement Plan. Contributions to the Retirement Plan by the Company
are based on the participants contributions, with an additional year-end discretionary contribution determined by the Board of Directors. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company contributed a total of $2.1
million, $2.3 million, and $2.9 million, respectively.

As presented above,
revenue was $43.0 million as compared to $70.8 million for the three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Contributing to the decrease, man-hours worked were 443,000 hours during the three-month period ended
December 31, 2010, compared to 697,000 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2009. The most significant impact of the reduction in man-hours worked was related to our Texas facility which is a direct result of the reduction in new
job awards for deepwater projects. Since 2006, the majority of the work performed at our Texas facility was on larger deepwater projects. During fiscal 2010, the fabrication awards for the facility were limited to large diameter tanks, multi-size
modules and a 10,000 ton lifting system, the majority of which sailed by October 2010. The MinDOC hull was the last large deepwater project fabricated in our Texas facility (sailing in November 2009) until we were awarded a contract for the
fabrication and integration of the topsides on a deepwater Gulf of Mexico project we received and announced on November 23, 2010. This project will contribute to revenue significantly over the next two years.

Also presented above, gross profit was $2.2 million (5% of revenue) as compared to $8.2 million (11.5% of revenue) for the
three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The reduction in work volume at our Texas facility contributed to the decrease.

16. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS

On February 13, 1997, the shareholders approved the adoption of the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Plan
authorizes the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 (split adjusted) shares of the Companys common stock to certain officers and key employees of the Company chosen by a committee appointed by the board of directors (the
compensation committee) to administer such Plan. Under the Plan, all options granted have 10-year terms, and the conditions relating to the vesting and exercise of the options result in their being classified as nonstatutory
options (options which do not afford income tax benefits to recipients, but the exercise of which may provide tax deductions for the Company). Each option will have an exercise price per share not less than the fair market value of a share of
common stock on the date of grant and no individual employee may be granted options to purchase more than an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock.

On April 24, 2002, the shareholders approved the adoption of the 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was amended by the shareholders on April 26, 2006 (the 2002 Plan). The 2002 Plan
authorizes the grant of awards, including options, to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock to certain officers, key employees, directors and consultants of the Company chosen by the compensation committee. Under
the 2002 Plan, all options granted have 10-year terms, and the conditions relating to the vesting and exercise of the options result in their being classified as nonstatutory options. Each option will have an exercise price per share not less than
the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant and no individual employee may be granted options to purchase more than an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock.

At December 31, 2010, there were approximately 68,000 shares remaining available for future issuance under the Plan and the 2002
Plan (together, the Incentive Plans). The Company issues new shares through its transfer agent upon stock option exercises or restricted share issuances. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the compensation committee did not grant any stock
options under the Incentive Plans.

A summary of the Companys stock option activity as of December 31, 2010, and
changes during the year then ended is presented below:

As of December 31, 2010, all compensation cost related to
options granted under the Incentive Plans was recognized. All options granted under the Incentive Plans were vested as of December 31, 2009.

conditions subject to the provisions of the Incentive Plans. At the time an award of restricted stock is made, the compensation committee shall establish a period of time during which the transfer of the shares of restricted stock shall be
restricted and after which the shares of restricted stock shall be vested (the Restricted Period). Except for the shares of restricted stock that vest based on the attainment of performance goals, the Restricted Period shall be a minimum
of three years, with incremental vesting of portions of the award over the three-year period permitted. If the vesting of the shares of restricted stock is based upon the attainment of performance goals, a minimum Restricted Period of one year is
allowed, with incremental vesting of portions of the award over the one-year period permitted.

The Incentive Plans do not
have any limitations on the amount of shares that can be specifically awarded as restricted stock. Restricted stock granted during 2010 vests in annual 20% increments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. The fair value of
restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of the grant. On December 1, 2010 the compensation committee granted 52,100 shares of restricted stock to key employees under the Incentive
Plans. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock granted during 2010 was $27.09. The compensation committee granted 136,700 shares of restricted stock in 2009 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $16.66. The compensation
committee did not grant any restricted stock during 2008. A summary of the status of our restricted stock awards is presented in the table below.

2010 was $716,000.

Share-based compensation cost that has been charged against income for the Incentive Plans was $825,000,
$677,000 and $536,000 for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements was $316,000, $239,000 and $176,000 for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
