GULF ISLAND FABRICATION, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. ("Gulf Island"), located in Houma, Louisiana,
is engaged in the fabrication and refurbishment of offshore oil and gas
platforms for oil and gas industry companies. Gulf Island`s principal markets
are concentrated in the offshore regions of the Gulf of Mexico. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Gulf Island and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (collectively "the Company"). All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
shares of Southport, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Southport
International, Inc. (collectively "Southport"). Southport specializes in the
fabrication of living quarters for offshore platforms. The purchase price was
$6.0 million cash, plus contingent payments of up to an additional $5.0 million
based on Southport's net income over a four-year period ending December 31,
2001. The purchase price plus $130,000 of direct expenses exceeded the fair
value of the assets acquired of $12.3 million and liabilities assumed of $10.3
million with the acquisition being accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Goodwill of $4.1 million is being amortized over 15 years on a
straight-line basis. Accordingly, the operations of Southport are included in
the Company's consolidated operations from January 1, 1998.
The information presented at March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, is unaudited. In the opinion of the Company's
management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company
considers necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial
position at March 31, 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements included herein have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Certain items included in the financial statements for the periods ended
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1997 have been reclassified to conform to the
March 31, 1998 financial statement presentation.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION OF SOUTHPORT, INC.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of
consolidated results of operations of the Company and Southport as if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1997. Pro forma adjustments include (1)
adjustments for the increase in interest expense as a result of the acquisition,
(2) additional depreciation on property, plant and equipment, (3) adjustments to
record the amortization of cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired,
(4) the elimination of certain general and administrative expenses, and (4) the
related tax effects. The effects of the termination of the S Corporation status
(Note 3) are included.

-------------------------------------
Revenue............................................ $34,353
Pro forma net income............................... 2,439
Pro forma basic and diluted net income per share... 0.31
NOTE 3 - PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA
On April 4, 1997, the Company's shareholders elected to terminate the
Company's status as an S Corporation, and the Company became subject to federal
and state income taxes. The pro forma income statement presentation reflects
income taxes related to operations as an S Corporation as if the Company had
been subject to federal and state income taxes since January 1, 1997 using an
assumed effective tax rate of approximately 38%. Further, the pro forma
weighted-average share calculations for 1997 include the assumed issuance of
additional shares sufficient to pay the distributions made to shareholders in
connection with the Company's Initial Public Offering, to the extent such
distributions exceeded net income for the year ended December 31, 1996.
NOTE 4 - STOCK SPLIT
On October 6, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a two-for-
one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend that became effective
on October 28, 1997 to shareholders of record on October 21, 1997. All share and
per share data included in the financial statements prior to the stock split
have been restated to reflect the stock split.
NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES
The Company is one of four defendants in a lawsuit in which the plaintiff
claims that the Company improperly installed certain attachments to a jacket
that it had fabricated for the plaintiff. The plaintiff, which has recovered
most of its out-of-pocket losses from its insurer, seeks to recover the
remainder of its claimed out-of-pocket losses (approximately $1 million) and
-6-
GULF ISLAND FABRICATION, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(CONTINUED)
approximately $63 million for punitive damages and for economic losses which it
alleges resulted from the delay in oil and gas production that was caused by
these events. The Company is vigorously contesting the plaintiff's claims and,
based on the Company's analysis of those claims, the Company's defenses thereto,
and the Court's rulings received to date, the Company believes that its
liability for such claims, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company. In view of the
uncertainties inherent in litigation, however, no assurance can be given as to
the ultimate outcome of such claims.
The Company is subject to claims arising through the normal conduct of its
business. While the ultimate outcome of such claims cannot be determined,
management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
-7-
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
On January 1, 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of
Southport, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Southport International, Inc.
(collectively, "Southport"). As used hereinafter, unless the context requires
otherwise, the term "Company" refers to the Company and Southport on a
consolidated basis, and the term "Southport" refers to Southport only. The
Statement of Income included in the unaudited financial statements presents the
consolidated results of operations of the Company and Southport for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to the results of operations of the
Company for the three months ended March 31, 1997, without giving effect to the
Southport acquisition.
The Company's revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 was
$46.9 million, an increase of 55.2%, compared to $30.2 million in revenue for
the three month period ended March 31, 1997. Revenue increased as a result of
the Southport acquisition and the high activity levels in the oil and gas
industry during the first quarter of 1998, which caused increased demand and
thus, upward pressure on the pricing of the Company's goods and services. In
addition, the on-going labor recruiting and retention efforts at the Company
generated an increase in the volume of direct labor hours applied to contracts
for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, compared to the same period in
1997.
The increased volume and strong pricing enabled the Company to generate a
gross profit of $8.3 million (17.7% of revenue) for the three month period ended
March 31, 1998, compared to the $4.9 million (16.1% of revenue) of gross profit
for the three month period ended March 31, 1997.
The Company's general and administrative expenses were $1.6 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998, compared to $1.0 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 1997. This increase of $612,000 for the three
month period was caused by additional general and administrative costs
associated with the Southport acquisition, additional costs associated with
increased production levels and public company reporting requirements.
The Company had net interest income of $25,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to net interest expense of $236,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. Interest expense decreased by $213,000 to $42,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $255,000 for the same period in
1997. As a result of a greater net cash provided by operations, a lesser amount
of capital expenditures, no dividend payments, and the use of the proceeds of
the Initial Public Offering, the weighted-average borrowings for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 were substantially lower in comparison to the
corresponding three months of 1997.
The Company converted from S Corporation to C Corporation status on April
4, 1997. Pro forma income taxes and pro forma net income give effect to federal
and state income taxes as if the Company had been taxed as a C Corporation
during the first quarter of 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically the Company has funded its business activities through funds
generated from operations and borrowings under its bank credit facility. Net
cash provided by operations was $3.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998 with working capital remaining stable at $17.1
-8-
million. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March
31, 1998 was $8.9 million, of which $5.9 million related to the purchase of
Southport and $3.0 million related to capital expenditures made during the
quarter. Approximately 50% of the Company's capital expenditures were for
improvements to its production facilities and for equipment designed to increase
the capacity of its facilities and the productivity of its labor force. The
remaining 50% was for the purchase of one new Manitowoc crane to replace one
previously rented.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $275,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, consisting of $175,000 from the proceeds of exercised
stock options with the remaining from borrowings and payments on the Company's
Bank Credit Facility.
The Company's Bank Credit Facility currently provides for a revolving line
of credit (the "Revolver") of up to $20.0 million which bears interest equal to,
at the Company's option, the prime lending rate established by Citibank, N.A. or
LIBOR plus 1 1/2%. The Revolver matures December 31, 1999 and is secured by a
mortgage on the Company's real estate, equipment and fixtures, and by the stock
of its subsidiary, Dolphin Services, Inc. As additional security the Company
has caused Dolphin Services, Inc. to guarantee the Company's obligations under
the Revolver. At March 31, 1998 the Company had $2.7 of outstanding borrowings
under the credit facility.
Capital expenditures for the remaining nine months of 1998 are estimated to
be approximately $11.4 million, including the purchase of four additional new
Manitowoc crawler cranes, improvements to the west yard fabrication area and
various other fabrication equipment purchases and facility expansions.
Management believes that its available funds, cash generated by operating
activities and funds available under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund
these capital expenditures and its working capital needs. However, the Company
may expand its operations through future acquisitions that may require
additional equity or debt financing.
