A. DE C. V. Financial Statements December 31, 1995 and 1994 (With the Statutory and Independent Auditors' Reports Thereon) 4 5 The Stockholders of CCC Fabricaciones y Construcciones, S. A. de C. V.: (Mexican Pesos) In my capacity as Statutory Auditor, I have examined the statement of financial position of CCC Fabricaciones y Construcciones, S. A. de C. V. as of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and changes in financial position for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. My audit was conducted with the provisions of Article 166 of the General Corporations Law and in accordance generally accepted auditing standards those standards require that the audit be planned and performed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Mexico. An audit consists of examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. In October 1995, the Company suffered a disaster where one of its marine vessel was lost. The loss was covered by the insurance. As discussed in note 11 c. to the financial statements at December 31, 1995 and 1994, the recovery of accounts receivable for leasing to affiliated companies is uncertain. Such accounts amount to $31,720,248 and $25,033,494 ($16,472,655 at historical value), respectively, which are being negotiated and may generate a future loss for the company in an amount which is unknown at the date of this report. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company's management is dealing in the process of selling the investment in shares of its associated company "Talleres Navales del Golfo, S. A. de C.V.". Consequently such investment is stated at cost, less the recognition of the estimated loss in the results of operations reflected in its financial statements (unaudited) for the ninth-month period ended December 31, 1995, and deducted them the amortization of the excess in cost on investment. Even though the Company considers not to incur in significant losses in the sale of this investment. The final outcome of this matter is contingent. Generally accepted accounting principles in Mexico establish that these type of investment should be updated near the closing date of the company which maintain the investment, taking into account the effects of inflation in the associated company and, if applicable, adjusting the investment to net market value. Generally accepted audit standards establish that the financial statements of the associated company should be audited, and according to the information provided by the Company's 5 6 management, the financial statements of the associated company have not yet been examined by an Independent Public Accountant. In my opinion, except for the fact that the financial statements of the associated company were not restated and for the effects that may be derived from having audited financial statements of the associated company, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CCC Fabricaciones y Construcciones, S. A. de C. V. at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its operations, the changes in its stockholders' equity and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico. I submit this opinion in compliance with the provisions of Article 166 of the General Corporations Law and the bylaws of CCC Fabricaciones y Construcciones, S. A. de C. V.

Ray McDermott Holdings, Inc. in February 1995, owns the remaining 49%. The Company has no personnel. Administrative and labor services are provided by an affiliate. In accordance with provisions of the Monetary Law until December 31, 1994, it was mandatory to express all figures in financial statements or other accounting documents in "New pesos" or with the symbol "N$". As from January 1, 1996, this provision was revoked and it is obliged to express them in pesos ($). A description of the most significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements follows: a. Financial statements presentation - The accompanying financial statements include the recognition of the effects of inflation on the financial information and are expressed in pesos of constant purchasing power at the most date of the recent statement of financial position. The most significant Mexican National Consumer Price Indexes (NCPI) used to recognize the effects of inflation were: December 31, 1995 156.9150 December 31, 1994 103.2566 December 31, 1993 96.4550 b. Temporary investments - Stated at the lower of acquisition cost plus earned interest at the statement of financial position date, or estimated market value. Increases or decreases are reflected in current year's operations. 13 (Continued) 14 CCC FABRICACIONES Y CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A. DE C.V. Notes to the Financial Statements (Mexican pesos of constant purchasing power at December 31, 1995) c. Income and cost from construction and leasing services - Income from construction, and related costs, are recognized as incurred based on periodic estimates. Construction cost is restated using factors derived from the NCPI. d. Investment in shares - Investment in shares stock of associated company from which the Company owns 40% of its capital stock, is valued at the lower of acquisition cost plus the recognition of equity in its results of operations, or net market value (note 7). The excess of cost on investment is amortized by the straight-line method over twenty years. e. Furniture, machinery and construction equipment - The furniture, machinery and construction equipment, including those acquired through financial leasing, are restated at net replacement value, based on appraisals made by independent appraisers. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, according to the useful life of the corresponding assets. f. Income tax (IT) - The IT charged to operations, include the currently payable amount, and in addition recognize the effect on IT of significant timing differences between taxable and accounting income, on which it may reasonably be estimated that a tax benefit or liability for tax purposes will arise within a specific period and are not offset with timing items of similar nature. g. Foreign currency transactions and exchange differences - All foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the date of their execution or liquidation. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in force at the date of the statement of financial position. Exchange differences are charged to current year's operations. h. Monetary effect - Determined by multiplying the difference between monetary assets and liabilities at the beginning of each month by inflation to year-end. The aggregate results represent the gain on monetary position derived from inflation. i. Restatement of capital stock and retained earnings - Determined by multiplying capital stock contributions and retained earnings by factors derived from the NCPI, which measure the accumulated inflation from the dates when contributions were made and earnings or losses were generated, to year- end. The amounts thus obtained represent the constant values of stockholders' investment, which are stated together with historical values. 14 (Continued) 15 CCC FABRICACIONES Y CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A. DE C.V. Notes to the Financial Statements (Mexican pesos of constant purchasing power at December 31, 1995) j. Restatement of stockholders' equity - Determined by the algebraic sum of the monetary effect, including the accumulated results from the original monetary position and the results from holding non-monetary assets. (2) Foreign currency exposure and transactions: The monetary assets and liabilities in United States dollars at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows: (Thousands of dollars) ----------------------- 1995 1995 ---- ---- Assets: Current assets: 44,411 35,033 -------- ------ Liabilities: Short-term 41,876 42,049 Long-term 33,358 17,690 -------- ------ 75,234 59,739 -------- ------ Net liabilities 30,823 24,706 ======= ====== Future cash flow in foreign currency 142,992 21,600 ======= ====== 15 (Continued) 16 CCC FABRICACIONES Y CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A. DE C.V. Notes to the Financial Statements (Mexican pesos of constant purchasing power at December 31, 1995) At December 31, 1995 the Company had no exchange risks hedge instruments; however, the future cash flows in dollars estimated by the Company are as follows: (Thousand of dollars) Pemex: Leasing contract for installation of submarine oil and gas pipelines and 56,000 marine vessels Leasing negotiation of a marine vessel pending to be concluded* 3,600 Leasing negotiation of installation of submarine pipelines pending to be concluded* 42,500 Several licitations to be obtained* 25,600 Sale of TNG shares* 15,292 ------- 142,992 ------- *unaudited information The future cash flow of these transactions will be applied to cover loans in U.S. dollars, as well as to finance the working capital. The exchange rate with regard to U.S. dollar at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $7.69 and $4.94, respectively. At February 2, 1996, date of the accountants report, it was $7.50 Up to December 20, 1994, the rate of exchange slid on a daily basis; however, on such date, the Mexican Government decided to widen the fluctuation range. The following day, Banco de Mexico eliminated such band allowing the rate of exchange to vary according to demand, and supply, giving rise to a devaluation of the Mexican peso before the U.S. dollar and other currencies. At December 31, 1995, the Company held foreign non-monetary assets for an approximate value of US$19,779,444, which replacement value may only be determined in foreign currency. 16 (Continued) 17 CCC FABRICACIONES Y CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A.

DE C.V. Notes to the Financial Statements (Mexican pesos of constant purchasing power at December 31, 1995) On October 15, 1996, due to climatological event, marine vessel No. 269 wrecked in Campeche area. An international firm specialist on shipwrecks made an analysis and reported that the accident was a total loss. For this situation the Company recognized on its records the following operations: Loss for the write-off of asset, net $ 110,950,000 Estimation of expenses related to the disaster 7,200,000 --------------- 118,150,000 Claim to the insurance company (24 million dollars) 184,560,000 --------------- Excess $ 66,410,000 =============== The excess will be applied to purchase a new barge, which estimated value is 15 million dollars, or into lease a vessel. (7) Investment in shares and excess of cost over investment: -------------------------------------------------------- Since 1992, CCC Fabricaciones y Construcciones, S.A. de C.V. (CCC) has been in the process of acquiring a significant portion of the shares of Astilleros Unidos de Veracruz, S.A. de C.V. (AUVER), with the purpose of complementing its marine operations and transferring its operating equipment from Tuxpan to Veracruz cities. In this process, CCC took over the management of AUVER and in April 1992 transferred its technical and administrative personnel, as well as its construction equipment to the facilities of AUVER to conduct joint operations. At the same time, financial support was given to AUVER, which in the other hand, has provided services to CCC. The net balance of these transactions in favor of CCC amounts to $69,873,467 ($45,978,461 at historical values) at December 31, 1994. In December 1994, the fourd of the first importance court of Veracruz City declared the bankruptcy of AUVER and, on the other hand, in May 1994, Talleres Navales del Golfo, S.A. de C.V. (TNG), an affiliate of CCC, obtained the concession to use the harbor installations on the shipyard located in the port of Veracruz. Consequently, CCC has continued with its purpose to complement its marine operations by investing in its affiliated Company TNG, by acquiring 40% of its capital stock and initially contributing the debt payable by AUVER on the amount of N$45,978,461. On December 31, 1994, CCC and TNG entered into an agreement whereby the latter recognizes such debt, indicating that CCC was committed to spend $66,450,915 of its own equity to maintain the shipyard's operations and preserve its assets, for the benefit of TNG and recognizes CCC as debtor for such amount, which CCC capitalized as part of its 40% share in the capital stock of TNG. The difference between the debt recorded in books $45,978,461, and the final debt recognized 20 (Continued) 21 CCC FABRICACIONES Y CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A. DE C.V. Notes to the Financial Statements (Mexican pesos of constant purchasing power at December 31, 1995) by TNG of $66,450,915 of $20,472,454 was recognized as other income in the statement of income. TNG initiated operations on March 10, 1995, with the commitment to pay concession rights for 30 years as set forth in the concession agreement. In addition, TNG acquired the following commitments: - Purchase AUVER'S fixed assets for at least 10 million dollars. - Settle a debt payable to Navimim, over the incomplete construction of vessels, up to 2 million dollars. - Liquidate suppliers up to 1 million dollars. - Recognition of a liability of approximately 17 million dollars of AUVER and in favor of Banco de Comercio Exterior; however, TNG made negotiations with the aforementioned Bank to recognize the liability for $28,740,000, which was capitalized as mentioned below. - Investment in fixed assets as necessary, including the replacement of the dry floating deck. - Dedicate an amount equal to 7.5% of dividends paid to stockholders, if any, over the following ten years after the assignment of the concession rights and obligations of the shipyard, in order to negotiate other liabilities with AUVER creditors. The amount of these commitments, including the recognition of the indebtedness with CCC referred in the following paragraph, were recorded in TNG as preoperative expenses to be amortized on a long-term basis. The sale of equipment by the Company to TNG negotiated since 1994, in the amount of N$29,218,863, was agreed in 1995, obtaining a profit of N$20,275,154. The amount due to the Company was also capitalized as part of 40% of the capital stock of TNG. 21 (Continued) 22 CCC FABRICACIONES Y CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A. DE C.V. Notes to the Financial Statements (Mexican pesos of constant purchasing power at December 31, 1995) In summary, the Company's investment in TNG is analyzed as follows: Capitalization of current account with AUVER $ 66,450,915 Cash delivered to TNG 15,872,480 Expenses made by TNG 4,407,520 -------------- 86,730,915 Capitalization of account receivable on the sale of equipment (includes value added tax of $4,382,831) 33,601,692 -------------- Total 120,332,607 Cash delivery 50,000 Equity in the results of TNG (computed over unaudited financial statements for nine-month period ended December 31, 1995) (2,782,814) -------------- 117,599,793 Par value of shares equal to 40% of the capital stock of TNG 57,480,000 -------------- Excess of cost over investment, subject to future long-term amortization 60,119,793 Less amortization for the year 3,005,990 -------------- $ 57,113,803 ============== Starting in March 8, 1995 the TNG shareholders will be as follows: Nominal contribution Shares -------------------- ------ CCC $ 57,480,000 57,480,000 McDermott International Investment Co.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Mexican pesos of constant purchasing power at December 31, 1995) The Company is negotiating to sale the investment in shares of this associated to other related entity, and estimates that it would not have a significant loss derived from this transaction. Such investment was valued at acquisition cost less equity in the loss incurred for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1995. Management considers that the market value will be sufficient to assure the investment in shares and the excess over investment, and that a significant loss is not expected from this sale. (8) Long-term debt: The long-term at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is analyzed as follows: 1995 1994 ---- ---- Loans received from: J.

Retained earnings are subject to the following restrictions: - 5% of net income for the year should be appropriated to constitute the legal reserve, until it reaches one-fifth of capital stock. - The amount of stockholders' contributions and retained earnings pending to be distributed, restated on tax bases, on which income tax has been paid, may be reimbursed or distributed to the stockholders tax free. Other reimbursements and distributions in excess of these amounts, according to the procedure stipulated by the law, are subject to income tax at the rate of 34% and therefore, stockholders may only dispose of 66% of such amounts. (10) Income tax (IT), tax on assets (TA) and tax loss carryforward: -------------------------------------------------------------- In accordance with current tax regulations, companies must pay the greater of IT and TA. Both taxes recognize the effects of inflation, although in a different manner than accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico. The TA Law impose a 1.8% rate (2% as of 1994) on assets restated in the case of fixed assets and deducted of some liabilities. The TA payable in excess of IT for the year may be recovered in the ten succeeding years, restated by inflation, provided that in any such years IT exceeds TA. 26 (Continued) 27 CCC FABRICACIONES Y CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A. DE C.V. Notes to the Financial Statements (Mexican pesos of constant purchasing power at December 31, 1995) Since TA exceeded IT in 1994 and 1993, and due to its uncertain recovery, TA payable was charged to operations for the year. At December 31, 1995 the TA that may be recovered in the future is as follows: Amount ------------------------------------------------ Restated at Originated in Original December 31, 1995 Expire in ------------- -------- ----------------- --------- 1989 $ 199,693 432,478 1999 1990 129,129 328,264 2000 1994 1,455,414 2,211,647 2004 1995 1,428,521 1,542,354 2005 ---------- --------- Total $3,212,757 4,514,743 ========== ========= A reconciliation between book and taxable income for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 is summarized below: 1995 1994 ---- ---- Income before taxes and equity in results of associated company $ 19,643,544 8,250,290 Add (deduct): Accounting effect of the recognition of inflation (95,107,008) (7,127,413) Revenues from unapproved construction works estimations, net of advances received (408,095,696) (83,988,822) Tax cost of construction 47,693,405 37,451,209 Non deductible expenses and costs 161,603,060 21,979,702 Inflationary component, net 146,645,603 277,128 Difference between accounting and tax depreciation and amortization (109,194,135) (2,455,088) Other, net 3,005,990 -- ------------- ----------- Tax loss (233,805,237) (25,612,914) ============= =========== 27 (Continued) 28 CCC FABRICACIONES Y CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Mexican pesos of constant purchasing power at December 31, 1995) At December 31, 1995 there are net timing differences for a net amount of $408,095,696, on which no effect of deferred IT has been recognized as it is considered that they do not meet the requirements set forth by accounting principles generally accepted in Mexico. These differences may increase the tax basis for future years and refer to non taxable revenues from estimations, accruable advances when received, advanced deduction of construction costs and other provisions. In accordance with the IT Law, a tax loss for a period, restated by inflation, may be carried forward to the taxable income of the five succeeding tax periods, which under certain circumstances may be extended to ten year period. At December 31, 1995 tax loss carryforward and the year in which the right of use will expire are as follows: Amount --------------------------------- Restated at Originated in Original December 31, 1994 Expire in ------------- -------- ----------------- --------- 1994 $ 16,853,925 17,385,231 1999 1995 (estimated) 233,805,237 233,805,237 2000 ============ =========== (11) Contingencies and commitments: ------------------------------ a. As mentioned in note 1, the Company has no personnel and administrative services are rendered by four affiliates which, in turn, invoice the Company for payments made to their personnel in case of separation, disability or death, as incurred. The Company records the expense on the same bases and does not recognize a liability to cover other future labor benefits such as seniority premiums, as these are considered immaterial in view of high personnel turnover. b. The Company is negotiating to sale the investment in shares of the associate Talleres Navales del Golfo, S. A. de C. V. and the result of this transaction is contingent. c. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company is in process of reaching an agreement with certain affiliates to determine the amount payable for barges leasing and office rental. The amount subject to negotiation, recorded as an affiliates' accounts receivable are $31,720,248 and $25,033,494, respectively. 28 (Continued) 29 CCC FABRICACIONES Y CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A. DE C.V.

At December 31, 1995 the balance for this concept amounted to $27,900,100. e. The Company is responsible for invoices discounted through factoring, amounting to $5,185,094. f.

DE C.V. Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements (Mexican Pesos of Constant Purchasing Power at September 30, 1996, except as indicated) (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments (such adjustments consisting only of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the interim periods presented have been included in the unaudited condensed financial statements. 2. CONTINGENCIES - The Company is forced to guarantee public works bid with Petroleos Mexicanos ("PEMEX") with a bank check in the latter's favor which is neither collected nor recorded, for 5% of the total bid. At September 30, 1996 the balance for this concept amounted to approximately $155,506,000. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is responsible for invoices discounted through factoring. As of September 30, 1996 there were no invoices subject to factoring. During the normal course of operations, the Company faces several contingencies derived from lawsuits filed against it as well as on its favor, and which, in the opinion of the legal counsel and Company's management, will have no significant effect on the financial statements. 3. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - During October 1996 the Company sold its investment in shares of the associate Talleres Navales del Golfco, S.A. de C.V. for $94,375,000 and recognized a loss on the disposition approximating $16,000,000. Included under the caption "equity in the results of associated company" for 1996 is a charge of $16,000,000 to recognize the loss as of September 30, 1996. On December 23, 1996 Global Industries, Ltd. ("Global") acquired from J. Ray McDermott, S.A. a 49% ownership interest in the Company. Coincident with the acquisition, Global (i) loaned US $23.0 million to the Company to repay US $15.0 million of existing bank indebtedness and for working capital needs and (ii) provided performance guarantees supporting approximately US $50.0 million of the Company's existing indebtedness primarily relating to construction projects in progress. 34 35 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
