                      PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. (the "Company"), together with its
subsidiaries, 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. Structures and equipment fabricated
by the Company include jackets and deck sections of fixed production platforms;
hull and deck sections of floating production platforms (such as tension leg

production, compressor and utility modules; and offshore living quarters. The
Company, located in Houma, Louisiana, also provides services such as offshore
interconnect pipe hook-up; inshore marine construction; manufacture and repair

Inc.'s  principal markets are concentrated in the offshore regions of the Gulf
of Mexico. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gulf
Island Fabrication, Inc.  and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The information presented at June 30, 2000 and for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, is unaudited.  In the opinion of the
Company's management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company
considers necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial
position at June 30, 2000 and the results of its operations for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and its cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.

     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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.


NOTE 2 - NOTES PAYABLE

     Effective January 1, 2000, the Company's existing bank credit facility was
amended and restated. The credit facility provides for a revolving line of
credit (the "Revolver") of up to $20.0 million that bears interest equal to, at
the Company's option,

                                  (Continued)


the prime lending rate established by Bank One Corporation or LIBOR plus 1.5%.
The Revolver matures December 31, 2001 and is secured by a mortgage on the
Company's real estate, equipment and fixtures. The Company pays a fee quarterly
of three-sixteenths of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused
portion of the line of credit. The Company is required to maintain certain
covenants, including balance sheet and cash flow ratios. At June 30, 2000, the
Company was in compliance with these covenants and had no outstanding borrowings
under the Revolver.


NOTE 3 - CONTINGENCIES

     The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality ( the "LDEQ") has
required the Company to update its reports and modify its state air permit with
respect to emissions from chemicals that are components of the steel and paint
used by Gulf Island, L.L.C. in its fabrication operations, and Gulf Island
L.L.C. has done so. The LDEQ has advised the Company that it is considering the
assessment of a penalty for exceeding permitted limits and inaccurate reporting.
Gulf Island, L.L.C. does not believe that any actions of the LDEQ in this matter
will be material to its financial  position or require any changes to its
operations other than the monitoring of the content of certain purchased
materials, the cost of which is expected to be negligible.

  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 own insurer, sought to recover from
the four defendants the remainder of its claimed out-of-pocket losses
(approximately $1 million) and approximately $65 million for economic losses
which it alleges resulted from the delay in oil and gas production that was
caused by these events.  The trial court has issued a judgement, which has been
appealed by the plaintiff, the effect of which has been to prevent plaintiff's
recovery of any damages from the defendants, including the Company. In
connection with the judgement, the parties have entered into agreements that
eliminate the possibility of plaintiff's recovery of any out-of-pocket damages
and preserve for appeal only those questions bearing on plaintiff's recovery of
its economic losses from delay in production and on defendants' efforts to get a
judgement against plaintiff's underwriters for coverage of any potential
liability to plaintiff and for attorneys' fees and costs. The Company continues
to defend the case vigorously, leaving open the possibility of reasonable
settlement. After consultation with legal counsel, the Company does not expect
that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect
on the financial position or results of operations of the Company, although no
assurances can be given as to the ultimate outcome of the claims.

  The Company is subject to other claims arising primarily in the normal conduct
of its business.  While the outcome of such claims cannot be determined,
management does not expect that resolution of these matters will have a material
adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's revenue for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2000 was $28.4 million and $60.1 million, an increase of 1.0% and 2.9%,
respectively, compared to $28.1 million and $58.4 million in revenue for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999. Revenue increased
slightly as a result of the mix of contracts in progress for the three-month and
the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 compared to the comparative periods of
1999.

     Although the expected recovery in the oil and gas industry has commenced in
the early cycle sectors, such as exploration and drilling, it has yet to
commence in the late cycle sectors, such as production and offshore fabrication,
in which the Company operates, which continues to suppress margins on contracts.
For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000, gross profit was
$2.4 million (8.6% of revenue) and $5.0 million (8.3% of revenue), compared to
$4.0 million (14.3% of revenue) and $8.2 million (14.1% of revenue) of gross
profit for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999.

     The Company's general and administrative expenses remained stable at $1.0
million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 and $2.2 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000.  This compares to $1.0 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1999 and $2.3 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1999.

     The Company had net interest income of $304,000 and $605,000 for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to
$152,000 and $232,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
1999. The current reduction in production levels generated more available cash
for investment purposes.

     For the three-month period ended June 30, 2000, other-net, represented
$44,000 of expenses compared to $39,000 of expenses for the period ended June
30, 1999. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, other-net, represented
$101,000 of expenses while, other-net, represented $ 10,000 of income for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1999. These expense and income items consist
primarily of the Company's share of the MinDOC, LLC activities to design and
market the MinDOC floating platform concept for deepwater drilling and
production.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Historically the Company has funded its business activities through funds
generated from operations and borrowings under its revolving line of credit. Net
cash provided by operations was $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 which contributed to a 15.8% increase in working capital to $36.8 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$5.1 million, of which $4.4 million related to the purchase of short-term
investments, $670,000 was for miscellaneous equipment purchases and facility
improvements and $57,000 of other net expenditures related to MinDOC, LLC.

                                       9


     The Company's Revolver currently provides for a revolving line of credit of
up to $20.0 million, that bears interest equal to, at the Company's option, the
prime lending rate established by Bank One Corporation or LIBOR plus 1.5%. The
Revolver matures December 31, 2001 and is secured by a mortgage on the Company's
real estate, equipment and fixtures. The Company pays a fee quarterly of three-
sixteenths of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused portion of
the line of credit. The Company is required to maintain certain covenants,
including balance sheet and cash flow ratios. At June 30, 2000, the Company was
in compliance with these covenants and had no outstanding borrowings under the
Revolver.

     Capital expenditures for the remaining six months of 2000 are estimated to
be approximately $4.7 million, including improvements to the facilities and
various other fabrication equipment. 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. The Company may, however, expand its operations through future
acquisitions that may require additional equity or debt financing.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

  Statements in the last paragraph under "Results of Operations" and other
statements in this report and the exhibits hereto that are not statements of
historical fact are forward-looking statements.  These statements involve risks
and uncertainties that include, among others, the timing and extent of changes
in the prices of crude oil and natural gas; the timing of new projects and the
Company's ability to obtain them; competitive factors in the heavy marine
fabrication industry; the Company's ability to successfully complete the
testing, production and marketing of the MinDOC and other deep water production
systems and to develop and provide financing for such systems that are
acceptable to its customers; and the Company's ability to attract and retain
qualified production employees at acceptable compensation rates.  Changes in
these factors could result in changes in the Company's performance and could
cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements.

                          PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality ( the "LDEQ") has
required the Company to update its reports and modify its state air permit with
respect to emissions from chemicals that are components of the steel and paint
used by Gulf Island, L.L.C. in its fabrication operations, and Gulf Island
L.L.C. has done so. The LDEQ has advised the Company that it is considering the
assessment of a penalty for exceeding permitted limits and inaccurate reporting.
Gulf Island, L.L.C. does not believe that any actions of the LDEQ in this matter
will be material to its financial position or require any changes to its
operations other than the monitoring of the content of certain purchased
materials, the cost of which is expected to be negligible.

     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 own insurer, sought to recover from
the four defendants the remainder of its claimed out-of-pocket losses
(approximately $1 million) and approximately $65 million for economic losses
which it alleges resulted from the delay in oil and gas production that was
caused by these events.  The trial court has issued a judgement, which has been
appealed by the plaintiff, the effect of which has been to prevent plaintiff's
recovery of any damages from the defendants, including the Company. In
connection with the judgement, the parties have entered into agreements that
eliminate the possibility of plaintiff's recovery of any out-of-pocket damages
and preserve for appeal only those questions bearing on plaintiff's recovery of
its economic losses from delay in production and on defendants' efforts to get a
judgement against plaintiff's underwriters for coverage of any potential
liability to plaintiff and for attorneys' fees and costs. The Company continues
to defend the case vigorously, leaving open the possibility of reasonable
settlement. After consultation with legal counsel, the Company does not expect
that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect
on the financial position or results of operations of the Company, although no
assurances can be given as to the ultimate outcome of the claims.

     The Company is subject to other claims arising primarily in the normal
conduct of its business. While the outcome of such claims cannot be determined,
management does not expect that resolution of these matters will have a material
adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
