                                     (unaudited)

       1.   Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

          These Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been
          prepared pursuant to instructions for the Quarterly Report on Form
          10-Q required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission and do not include all information and footnotes
          normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
          with generally accepted accounting principles.  Management has
          reflected all adjustments which it believes are necessary to
          present fairly the Company's financial position at June 30, 1998
          and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods
          presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. 
          The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
          consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
          Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended
          March 31, 1998.  The results for interim periods are not
          necessarily indicative of annual results.  Unless the context
          indicates otherwise, references to years indicate fiscal years.

       2.   Cash and Cash Equivalents

          Cash and cash equivalents includes demand deposits and highly
          liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
          fewer from the date of the investment.  Approximately $1.5 million
          of the Company's cash at June 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998 was
          restricted and deposited in interest bearing accounts as security
          in connection with legal proceedings.

                                                       June 30,      March 31,

       4.   Income Taxes

       Cash taxes paid were $1.3 million and $1.9 million for the first
       quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively.

       5.   Earnings Per Share

       The Company has computed earnings per share in accordance with
       Financial Accounting Standards Board standard number ("SFAS") 128,
       "Earnings Per Share", which became effective in the third quarter of
       1998.  Prior periods comparative figures have been restated.

       6.   Comprehensive Income

       Effective April 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS 130, "Reporting
       Comprehensive Income".  This statement establishes standards for
       reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in
       financial statements.  Comprehensive income is the total of net income
       and all non-owner changes in equity.  The amount of comprehensive
       income for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and
       1997 and the components of accumulated other elements of comprehensive
       income in Shareholders' Equity at June 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998 are
       as follows:

       7.   New Accounting Pronouncement

       The FASB has issued SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
       Enterprise and Related Information", which establishes standards for
       the way that public business enterprises report information about
       operating segments in interim and annual financial statements.  As
       required, the Company will adopt SFAS 131 commencing with the 1999
       Annual Report on Form 10-K.




                                       Page 6



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

       All statements in this Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical
       facts, including, without limitation, statements regarding the
       Company's business strategy, plans for future operations, and industry
       conditions, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe
       harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
       1995.  The Company utilizes a variety of internal and external data
       and management judgment in order to develop such forward-looking
       information.   Although the Company believes that the expectations
       reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, because
       of the inherent limitations in the forecasting process, as well as the
       relatively volatile nature of the industry in which the Company
       operates, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove
       to have been correct.  Accordingly, evaluation of future prospects of
       the Company must be made with caution when relying on forward-looking
       information.

       Material Changes in Financial Condition

       The Company considers its liquidity and capital resources adequate to
       support continuing operations and capital commitments.  At June 30,
       1998, the Company had working capital of $47 million, including $10
       million of unrestricted cash.  At June 30, 1998, the Company had
       utilized $68 million of its available $80 million credit facility and
       $39 million was unused under uncommitted lines of credit.

       In order to provide longer term funding, the Company has agreed to
       terms on a private placement of $100 million of senior notes.  The
       notes will have an average life of 10 years, bear interest at a rate
       of 6.72% per annum with an effective rate of under 7%, and be repaid
       in five equal annual installments beginning at the end of the eighth
       year.  The Company has also agreed to terms on a new $80 million five
       year revolving credit facility.  Formal closing for both the senior
       notes and the revolving credit facility and funding of the senior
       notes is expected in August 1998.

       Capital expenditures were $27 million during the first three months of
       1999, as compared to $18 million during the corresponding period of
       the prior fiscal year.  Capital expenditures in 1999 consisted of
       additions to the Company's fleet of remotely operated vehicles
       ("ROVs"), multi-service support vessel construction and subsea
       products facilities expansion.  Prior fiscal year expenditures
       consisted of additions to the Company's fleet of ROVs, support vessel
       expenditures and two out-of-service mobile offshore platforms for
       potential conversion to production systems or alternative service.

       Commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 1998 were
       approximately $30 million for subsea product manufacturing facilities
       and multi-service support vessel construction.

       Results of Operations

       Consolidated revenue and margin information is as follows:

                                                    Three Months Ended
                                                         June 30,

                                                      (in thousands)

            Revenues                              $98,911        $95,163
            Gross margin                           21,487         18,933
            Gross margin %                            22%            20%
            Operating margin %                        11%            10%

       The quarters ending June 30 and September 30 have generally been the
       Company's peak in both revenues and net income for its Oilfield Marine
       Services business.  However, the Company's exit from the diving sector
       in the North Sea in early 1998 and the substantial number of multi-
       year ROV contracts which were entered into since 1997 should reduce
       the seasonality of the Company's Oilfield Marine Services operations. 
       Revenues and net income in the Offshore Field Development and Advanced
       Technologies businesses are generally not seasonal.

       Oilfield Marine Services

       Revenue and gross margin information is as follows:

                                                    Three Months Ended
                                                         June 30,
                                                    1998           1997
                                           (in thousands, except percentages)

          Revenues                                $52,704        $49,561
          Gross margins                            11,710         10,362
          Gross margin %                              22%            21%


       Revenues and gross margins for the Oilfield Marine Services segment
       increased during the first quarter of 1999,  compared to the
       corresponding period of the prior year, primarily as a result of
       additional ROVs placed in service.

       Offshore Field Development

       Revenue and gross margin information is as follows:

                                                    Three Months Ended
                                                         June 30,
                                                    1998           1997
                                          (in thousands, except percentages)

          Revenues                                $27,654        $24,628
          Gross margins                             7,246          4,300
          Gross margin %                              26%            17%


                                       Page 8




       Revenues were higher in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the
       corresponding period of the prior year as a result of increased
       product sales and the acquisition of a production barge in January
       1998.  Project management work benefitted from higher margins.  The
       Company's FPSO OCEAN PRODUCER continued to operate offshore West
       Africa under a contract which expires in January 2000.

       Advanced Technologies

       Revenue and gross margin information is as follows:

                                                    Three Months Ended
                                                         June 30,
                                                    1998           1997
                                          (in thousands, except percentages)

          Revenues                                $18,553        $20,974
          Gross margins                             2,531          4,271
          Gross margin %                              14%            20%

       Revenues and gross margins for the first quarter of 1999 compared to
       the corresponding period of the prior year reflect lower activity on
       subsea cable burial projects.

       Other

       Interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998
       declined compared to the corresponding period of the prior year
       primarily as a result of lower cash balances available for investment. 

       Interest expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998
       increased compared to the corresponding period of the prior year as 
       the Company incurred debt to fund the acquisition of additional
       equipment.  Interest expense of $567,000 in 1999 was net of
       capitalized interest of $482,000.

       The provisions for income taxes were related to U.S. income taxes
       which were provided at estimated annual effective rates using
       assumptions as to earnings and other factors which would affect the
       tax calculation for the remainder of the fiscal year, and to the
       operations of foreign branches and subsidiaries which were subject to
       local income and withholding taxes.

       Year 2000

       The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs which were
       written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable
       year.  Programs that have time sensitive software may recognize a date
       using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  The Company
       has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify potential
       problem areas.  Much of the cost of compliance is included in regular
       system and equipment upgrades which are planned or are in progress. 
       The Company does not expect the cost of compliance to have a material


                                       Page 9



       effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. 
       However, there is no assurance that the systems of other companies on
       which the Company relies will be converted timely and will not have an
       adverse effect on the Company.
