Remington Oil and Gas Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

      Remington Oil and Gas Corporation is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company incorporated in Delaware. Our oil and gas properties are located in the Gulf of Mexico and the onshore Gulf Coast.

      We prepared these financial statements according to the instructions for Form 10-Q. Therefore, the financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. However, we have recorded all transactions and adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. The adjustments made are normal and recurring. The following notes describe only the material changes in accounting policies, account details, or financial statement notes during the first three months of 2006. Therefore, please read these financial statements and notes to the financial statements together with the audited financial statements and notes to financial statements in our 2005 Form 10-K and 10-K/A. The income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2006, cannot necessarily be used to project results for the full year.

New Accounting Standard

      Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income, based on their fair values as of the grant date. SFAS 123(R) supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”.

      We have adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method which requires us to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards over the remaining service periods of those awards with no change in historical reported earnings. Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and recognized on a straight line basis over the service period relating to each award. SFAS 123(R) also requires the tax benefits in excess of recognized compensation expenses to be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow as required under previous literature.

      On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” We have elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in this FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123(R). The alternative transition method includes a simplified method to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation, which is available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

      We recorded $1.2 million in share-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2006, related to employee stock grants. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) resulted in a reclassification to reduce net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting increase in net cash provided by financing activities of $1.0 million, related to incremental tax benefits from stock options exercised during the period.

      Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we accounted for share-based payments to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25 and related interpretations, and therefore, did not recognize compensation expenses associated with employee stock options. However, since all of our outstanding stock options vested prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we will not recognize any expenses associated with

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

these prior stock option grants. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) had no effect on the accounting for our outstanding stock grant awards.

      The following table summarizes relevant information as to the reported results under the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock awards, with supplemental information as if the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been applied for the three months ended March 31, 2005:

Note 3. Insurance Receivables

      As a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which occurred in August and September of 2005, we incurred physical damage and shut-in production on many of our offshore properties. We maintain insurance coverage for damages to our offshore properties, including producing and drilling wells, platforms, pipelines and lost production. As of March 31, 2006, we have $38.9 million accrued as an insurance receivable on the Balance Sheet. Of this amount, $18.3 million represents insurance receivables for hurricane related expenditures associated with physical damage, lost equipment and a control of well claim. The remaining $20.6 million represents an insurance receivable for partial claim for lost production settled through March 31, 2006, from shut-ins caused by Hurricane Rita, of which $17.3 million is related to the current period and is included in Other income on the Income Statement. Additional claims associated with lost production as a result of Hurricane Katrina have been made and will be recorded when finalized.

Employer Contributions

      We disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, that we do not expect to make a contribution to the plans in 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we made no contributions to the plans. At this time, if the Pension Plan is continued, we do not expect to make a contribution to the Pension Plan for 2006. If the Pension Plan is altered as a result of the merger with Helix, a contribution may be required.

Note 5. Notes Payable

      As of March 31, 2006, our credit facility of $200.0 million had a borrowing base of $150.0 million. Interest only is payable quarterly through September 2009, at which time the line expires and all principal becomes due, unless the line is extended or renegotiated. As of March 31, 2006, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility.

Note 6. Forward Sales Contracts

      We have entered into the following agreements for forward sales of production for the period March 2006 through June 2007:

Note 8. Proposed Merger with Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc.

      On January 22, 2006 we entered into a merger agreement with Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. (formerly Cal Dive International, Inc.). Consideration for the offer from Helix will be $27.00 in cash and 0.436 shares of Helix stock for each of our shares. Completion of the merger is expected in the second quarter of 2006, however, it is subject to customary conditions to closing, including without limitation, approval by our stockholders. We and Helix filed a proxy statement/ prospectus and other relevant documents concerning the proposed merger with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2006. In addition, a special meeting of our stockholders will be called seeking approval of the transaction.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

      The following discussion will assist in understanding our financial position and results of operations. The information below should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, the related notes to financial statements, and our Form 10-K and10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2005.

      Our discussion contains both historical and forward-looking information. We assess the risks and uncertainties about our business, long-term strategy, and financial condition before we make any forward-looking statements, but we cannot guarantee that our assessment is accurate or that our goals and projections can or will be met. Statements concerning results of future exploration, exploitation, development and acquisition expenditures as well as expense and reserve levels are forward-looking statements. We make assumptions about commodity prices, drilling results, production costs, administrative expenses, and interest costs that we believe are reasonable based on currently available information.

      This discussion is primarily an update to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2005 Form 10-K. We recommend that you read this discussion in conjunction with our Form 10-K and10-K/ A.

      Our long-term strategy is to increase our oil and gas reserves and production while keeping our finding and development costs and operating costs (on a per Mcf equivalent (Mcfe) basis) competitive with our industry peers. We implement this strategy through drilling exploratory and development wells from our inventory of available prospects that we have evaluated for geologic and mechanical risk and future reserve potential. Our drilling program will contain some high risk/high reserve potential opportunities as well as some lower risk/lower reserve potential opportunities, in order to achieve a balanced program of reserve and production growth. Success of this strategy is contingent on various risk factors, as discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We provide access to our filings through our website,www.remoil.net.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      On March 31, 2006, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by $85.4 million. Our current ratio was 2.11 to 1. During the first quarter of 2006, our net cash flow provided by operations increased by $5.0 million due to cash inflows from changes in working capital accounts.

      During the first quarter of 2006, our capital expenditures totaled $42.7 million primarily in the Gulf of Mexico where we incurred costs to drill and complete wells and fabricate and install new platforms and facilities. We have budgeted $293 million for capital expenditures during 2006. This capital and exploration budget includes $146 million for 28 exploratory wells, $112 million for offshore platforms and development drilling, and $35 million for workovers and property and seismic acquisitions. We expect that our cash, estimated future cash flow from operations, and available bank line of credit will be adequate to fund these expenditures for the remainder of 2006.

      As of March 31, 2006, our credit facility of $200.0 million had a borrowing base of $150.0 million. Interest only is payable quarterly through September 2009, at which time the line expires and all principal becomes due, unless the line is extended or renegotiated. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of March 31, 2006.

Results of Operations

      Net income for the first quarter of 2006 was $26.4 million or $0.92 basic income per share and $0.90 diluted income per share, compared to net income for the first quarter of 2005 of $16.0 million, or $0.57 basic income per share and $0.56 diluted income per share. Net income increased primarily because of lost production insurance related to Hurricane Rita recorded during the first quarter of 2006.

      The following table reflects oil and gas revenues, production, and prices during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005.

		Three Months Ended March 31,
					% Increase
		2006			(Decrease)			2005
		(Dollars in thousands,
		except unit prices)
Gas production volume (MMcf)			5,826			(5.7	)%		6,176
Gas sales revenue		$	44,619			10.5	%	$	40,390
Price per Mcf		$	7.66			17.1	%	$	6.54
Increase (decrease) in gas sales revenue due to:
	Change in prices	$	6,917
	Change in production volume		(2,688	)
Total increase in gas sales revenue		$	4,229
Oil production volume (MBbls)			256			(36.8	)%		405
Oil sales revenue		$	15,377			(19.4	)%	$	19,081
Price per barrel		$	60.07			27.5	%	$	47.11
Increase (decrease) in oil sales revenue due to:
	Change in prices	$	5,249
	Change in production volume		(8,953	)
Total decrease in oil sales revenue		$	(3,704	)
Total production Mcfe			7,362			(14.5	)%		8,606
Price per Mcfe		$	8.15			17.9	%	$	6.91

      Gas sales revenue increased $4.2 million, or 10.5%, for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 primarily due to the increase in average gas prices offset slightly by a decrease in production. Average gas prices increased $1.12 per Mcf, or 17.1%, during the first quarter of 2006 compared to 2005. Gas production decreased 350 Mmcf, or 5.7%, during the first quarter of 2006 compared to 2005 due to shut-ins for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the subsequent damage to platforms and pipeline infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico. However, new properties in the Gulf of Mexico partially offset the lower production caused by the two hurricanes.

      Oil sales revenue decreased $3.7 million, or 19.4%, for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 primarily due to the decrease in oil production partially offset by the increase in average oil prices. Oil production decreased 149 Mbbls, or 36.8%, due to hurricane related damages while average oil prices increased $12.96 per barrel, or 27.5% during the first quarter of 2006 compared to 2005.

      Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 increased $1.3 million, or 22.3%, as a result of expenses for new operated properties in the Gulf of Mexico.

      Exploration expense for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 decreased $3.4 million, or 32.6%, due to less dry hole expense recorded during the first quarter of 2006.

      Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense including the amortization and accretion of the asset retirement obligations increased $1.8 million, or 11.5%, during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 primarily due to the increase in the depletable base.

      General and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million, or 144.5%, during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 primarily due to an increase in professional fees and stock based compensation expense. Stock based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 totaled $1.2 million compared to $512 thousand for the comparable period of 2005 primarily due to the April 2005 restricted stock grant.

11

      Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 increased $5.2 million, or 59.0%, primarily due to the increase in income before taxes. Current income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $10.3 million and $787 thousand, or approximately 73.4% and 8.9%, respectively, of the total income tax expense.

      Presenting the expenses on a cost per Mcfe of production basis normalizes for the impact of production gains/losses and provides a measure of expense control efficiencies. The following table highlights certain relevant expense items on this basis with barrels of oil converted to Mcfe at a ratio of one barrel equals six Mcf.

	Three Months
	Ended March 31,
	2006		2005
Operating costs and expenses	$	0.98	$	0.69
Depreciation, depletion and amortization	$	2.43	$	1.86
General and administrative expense*	$	0.70	$	0.25
Interest and financing expense	$	0.02	$	0.02
* Stock based compensation included in general and administrative expense	$	0.17	$	0.06

      Expressed in this fashion, operating costs and expenses increased 42.0% to $0.98, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 primarily due to costs associated with hurricane related repairs and to the decrease in oil and gas production from hurricanes in the offshore Gulf of Mexico.

      Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased 30.6% to $2.43 per Mcfe for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 reflecting the increased costs for finding reserves in the Gulf of Mexico.

      General and administrative expenses increased 180.0% to $0.70 per Mcfe for the first quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 primarily reflecting the impact of stock based compensation expense associated with the restricted stock grant, increased professional fees associated with the proposed merger with Helix, and lower oil and gas production.

      Interest and financing costs which include line of credit facility fees were comparable for the two quarters.

Critical Accounting Policies

      As of March 31, 2006, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates provided in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (see Part II, Item 7, “Critical Estimates and Accounting Policies,” in the 2005 Form 10-K).

     Stock-Based Compensation

      Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective transition method. Because all of our outstanding stock options vested prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the adoption of SFAS 123(R) had no impact on our results of operations or our financial condition. In addition, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) had no effect on the accounting for our outstanding stock grant awards.

      For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recorded $1.2 million inshare-based compensation expense related to employee stock grants. In addition, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) resulted in a reclassification to reduce net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting increase in net cash provided by financing activities of $1.0 million, related to incremental tax benefits from stock options exercised during the period.

12

      Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we accounted forshare-based payments using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and therefore, did not recognize compensation expense associated with employee stock options.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

     Interest Rate Risk

      Our revolving bank line of credit is sensitive to changes in interest rates. We have no current debt outstanding under this bank line. The interest rate on debt under this line of credit is based on a premium of 1.0 to 2.0 percentage points over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“Libor”). The rate is reset periodically, usually every three months.

     Commodity Price Risk

      A majority of our production is sold on the spot markets. Accordingly, we are at risk for the volatility in the commodity prices inherent in the oil and gas industry.

      Occasionally we sell forward portions of our production under physical delivery contracts that by their terms cannot be settled in cash or other financial instruments. Such contracts are not subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Accordingly, we do not provide sensitivity analysis for such contracts. For the period March 2006 through June 2007, we entered into the following agreements for forward sales of production:

Oil:	1,000 bbls/day @ $70.00/bbl	March 2006 — February 2007
Gas:	20,000 mmbtu/day @ $9.83/mmbtu	March 2006 — August 2006
	10,000 mmbtu/day @ $8.88/mmbtu	September 2006 — December 2006
	20,000 mmbtu/day @ $9.72/mmbtu	January 2007 — June 2007

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

      As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Further, during the period covered by this report, there was no significant change in internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
