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-

                                       7


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.


NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations", and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible
assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be
subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other
intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The
Company currently does not have any other intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives. The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for
goodwill beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the
nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in an increase
in net income of $433,000 ($0.04 diluted EPS) per year. During 2002, the Company
will perform the required impairment tests of goodwill as of January 1, 2002,
but has not yet determined what effect these tests will have on the earnings and
financial position 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, 2001 was $34.3 million and $61.8 million, an increase of 20.7% and
2.8%, respectively, compared to $28.4 million and $60.1 million in revenue for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000. Revenue increased as
a result of the increase in the volume of direct labor hours applied to
contracts in progress accompanied by increased prices available on several
short-term contract jobs when comparing the three-month and the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2001 to the similar periods of 2000.

     The more favorable weather conditions combined with the utilization of
labor saving equipment enabled the Company to increase production volumes and
profit margins. Also contributing to increased margins were increased product
prices and deeper discounts from major suppliers of material and services. Gross
profit increased $3.2 million or 131% and $2.9 million or 58% when comparing the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 to the comparative periods
in 2000. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, gross
profit was $5.6 million (16.5% of revenue) and $7.9 million (12.8% of revenue),
compared to  $2.5 million (8.6% of revenue) and $5.0 million (8.3% of revenue)
of gross profit for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000.

     The Company's general and administrative expenses were $1.2 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2001 and $2.3 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2001.  This compares to $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. Although general and administrative expenses increased, the majority of
the increases were related to costs that vary with sales volumes, primarily
labor-related costs. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 3.5% from 3.7% of revenue for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, but increased to 3.8% from 3.6% of
revenue for the comparative six-month periods.

     The Company had net interest income of $256,000 and $561,000 for the three-
month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001, respectively, compared to
$304,000 and $605,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
2000. The current reduction in interest income is the result of cash utilization
associated with the increase in production levels for the three-month and six-
month periods.

     For the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, other-net, represented
$102,000 of expenses compared to $44,000 of expenses for the period ended
June 30, 2000. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, other-net,
represented $109,000 of expenses compared to $101,000 of expenses for the six-
month period ended June 30, 2000. These expenses 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.
Although net cash used in operating activities was $5.1 million for the six-
months ended June 30, 2001, working capital increased by $6.3 million to $43.4
million, resulting in a current ratio of 3.8 to 1. Net cash used in investing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $851,000, which included
$2.1 million of proceeds on the sale of property, $2.6 million for the purchase
of production machinery and equipment and facility improvements, and $396,000
for the purchase of short-term investments. In June 2001, the Company sold its
13-acre facility located in Harvey, Louisiana, which was previously occupied by
Southport, Inc.

     The Company's credit agreement 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 revolving line of credit matures December 31, 2002 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, 2001, the Company was in compliance with these covenants and had no
outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit.

     Capital expenditures for the remaining six months of 2001 are budgeted to
be approximately $7.2 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
revolving line of credit 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 under "Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital
Resources" 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.
