INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Global Industries, Ltd.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements
of Global Industries, Ltd. and subsidiaries, as listed in the
accompanying index, as of June 30, 2002 and for the quarter and
six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such
an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated
financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, the
consolidated balance sheet of Global Industries, Ltd. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, cash
flows, and comprehensive income (loss) for the year then ended
(not presented herein); and in our report dated February 13,
2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2001 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Global Industries, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (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 consolidated financial statements.
Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2002, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2002. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited consolidated financial statements and related notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Independent public accountants as stated in their report
included herein, have reviewed the financial statements
required by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period
financial statements in order to conform to the
classifications adopted for reporting in fiscal year 2002.
2. New Accounting Pronouncement - In June 2001, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS ") No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142
changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization
method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of
goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business
combinations, ceased upon adoption of this statement. The
Company completed the required impairment test in the second
quarter of 2002 and has determined that this statement will
not have an impact on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the
amortization of goodwill upon the adoption of this statement
on January 1, 2002. A reconciliation of previously reported
net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for
the exclusion of goodwill amortization net of tax follows (in
thousands, except per share data):

The carrying amount of goodwill as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
is approximately $38.0 million and is entirely attributable to the
Company's Latin America segment.
SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations," requires the recording of liabilities for all
legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-
lived assets that result from the normal operation of those
assets. These liabilities are required to be recorded at
their fair values (which are likely to be the present values
of the estimated future cash flows) in the period in which
they are incurred. SFAS No. 143 requires the associated
asset retirement costs to be capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The asset
retirement obligation will be accreted each year through a
charge to expense. The amounts added to the carrying amounts
of the assets will be depreciated over the useful lives of
the assets. The Company is required to implement SFAS No.
143 on January 1, 2003, and has not determined the impact
that this statement will have on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-lived Assets," promulgates standards for measuring and
recording impairments of long-lived assets. Additionally,
this standard establishes requirements for classifying an
asset as held for sale, and changes existing accounting and
reporting standards for discontinued operations and exchanges
for long-lived assets. The Company implemented SFAS No. 144
on January 1, 2002, which did not have a material effect on
its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No.
146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-
3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity," under which a
liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an
entity's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 requires
that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or
disposal activity be recognized at fair value when the
liability is incurred. The provisions of this statement are
effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated
after December 31, 2002.
3. Accounts Receivable - Trade and other receivables are stated
at net realizable value and the allowance for uncollectible
accounts was $2.1 million and $2.5 million at June 30, 2002
and December 31, 2001, respectively. Certain receivables
represent amounts that have not yet been billed to the
customer primarily due to contractually specified milestone
billing requirements. At June 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001, the Company's accounts receivable included unbilled
receivables of $93.6 million and $46.6 million, respectively.
4. Financing Arrangements - Prior to March 27, 2002, the Company
maintained a credit facility, which consisted of a $51.0
million term loan facility and a $100.0 million revolving
loan facility. On March 27, 2002, the term loan facility was
repaid in its entirety from the proceeds of an equity
offering as discussed below. The remaining facility
consisted exclusively of the $100.0 million revolving loan
facility. This facility matures on December 30, 2004. The
revolving loan facility permits both prime rate bank
borrowings and London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
borrowings plus a floating spread. The spreads can range
from 1.00% to 2.25% and 2.25% to 3.50% for prime rate and
LIBOR based borrowings, respectively. In addition, the
credit facility allows for certain fixed rate interest
options on amounts outstanding. Stock of the Company's
subsidiaries, certain real estate, and the majority of the
Company's vessels collateralize the loans under the credit
facility. On March 18, 2002, the Company amended its credit
facility. The amendment reduced the consolidated net worth
covenant requirement to $440.0 million for the quarter ending
June 30, 2002 and thereafter. The Company paid an amendment
fee of $0.2 million. The revolving loan facility is subject
to certain other financial covenants. At June 30, 2002, the
Company was in compliance with its credit facility and all
financial covenants. At June 30, 2002, $35.0 million was
drawn against this facility.
On April 30, 2002, the Company amended and restated its
revolving loan facility to provide an additional $48.0
million 364-day revolving credit line. The Company paid a
$0.4 million fee for this amendment. This new credit line
was entered into to provide additional working capital for
the Company in anticipation of increases in activity. The
amended revolving loan facility is subject to certain
financial covenants. At June 30, 2002, the Company was in
compliance with all of its financial covenants under this
facility. At June 30, 2002, $15.0 million was drawn against
the $48.0 million facility.
The Company's aggregate revolving facilities total $148.0
million. As of August 6, 2002, the Company had an aggregate
of $74.6 million of credit availability under its two
revolving credit facilities.
The Company completed a secondary offering of 8.5 million
shares of common stock and 0.9 million shares of common stock
on March 27, 2002 and April 2, 2002, respectively, which
raised $79.6 million in aggregate proceeds, net of
underwriting fees and other expenses of $4.5 million. The
Company received $72.3 million and $7.3 million of proceeds
in March 2002 and April 2002, respectively. These proceeds
were used to repay $51.0 million in outstanding indebtedness
under the Company's term loan facility and $16.0 million
under the Company's revolving loan facility on March 27,
2002. In the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company
recorded a $0.9 million charge relating to unamortized term
loan origination fees associated with the early repayment of
its term loan. The remaining proceeds and other additional
cash sources were used to redeem $27.6 million of Lake
Charles Port Improvement Bonds on June 21, 2002 and to repay
the Heller Term Note of $3.2 million on May 1, 2002.
5. Commitments and Contingencies - The Company is a party to
legal proceedings and potential claims arising in the
ordinary course of business. Management does not believe
these matters will materially effect the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
In November of 1999, the Company notified Groupe GTM that as
a result of material adverse changes and other breaches by
Groupe GTM, the Company was no longer bound by and was
terminating the Share Purchase Agreement to purchase the
shares of ETPM S.A. Groupe GTM responded stating that they
believed the Company was in breach. The Share Purchase
Agreement provided for liquidated damages of $25.0 million to
be paid by a party that failed to consummate the transaction
under certain circumstances. The Company has notified Groupe
GTM that it does not believe that the liquidated damages
provision is applicable to its termination of the Share
Purchase Agreement. On December 23, 1999, Global filed suit
against Groupe GTM in Tribunal de Commerce de Paris to
recover damages. On June 21, 2000, Groupe GTM filed an
answer and counterclaim against Global seeking the liquidated
damages of $25.0 million and other damages, costs and
expenses of approximately $3.2 million (based on current
exchange rates). The Company believes that the outcome of
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its
business or financial statements.
In the normal course of its business activities, the Company
provides letters of credit and bank guarantees to secure the
performance and/or payment of obligations, including the payment
of worker's compensation obligations. At June 30, 2002, outstanding
letters of credit and bank guarantees were $19.4 million.
Additionally, the Company provides performance, bid, and payment bonds
pursuant to agreements, or in connection with bidding to obtain
such agreements to perform construction services. The aggregate
of these bonds at June 30, 2002 was $70.0 million. Some of
these financial instruments are secured by parent company guarantees.
The Company estimates that the cost to complete capital
expenditure projects in progress at June 30, 2002
approximates $1.5 million.
6. Industry Segment Information - The following tables present
information about the profit or loss of each of the
Company's reportable segments for the quarters and six
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The information

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
The following discussion presents management's discussion and
analysis of our financial condition and results of operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the
periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, included elsewhere in this
report and our audited consolidated financial statements and
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations included in our Annual Report of Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Certain of the statements included below, including those
regarding future financial performance or results that are not
historical facts, are or contain "forward-looking" information
as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The words "expect," "believe," "anticipate,"
"project," "estimate," and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. We caution readers that any
such statements are not guarantees of future performance or
events and such statements involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. In addition to the factors discussed under the
heading "Business-Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001, the factors that could
cause actual results to differ from those expected include, but
are not limited to, dependence on the oil and gas industry and
industry conditions, general economic conditions including
interest rates and inflation, competition, ability to obtain
funds to finance our business, operating risks, contract bidding
risks, the use of estimates for revenue recognition, risks of
international operations, risks of vessel construction such as
cost overruns, changes in government regulations, and disputes
with construction contractors, dependence on key personnel and
the availability of skilled workers during periods of strong
demand, the impact of regulatory and environmental laws, the
ability to obtain insurance, and other factors discussed below.
Operating risks include hazards such as vessel capsizing,
sinking, grounding, colliding, and sustaining damage in severe
weather conditions. These hazards can also cause personal
injury, loss of life, and suspension of operations. The risks
inherent with international operations include political, social,
and economic instability, exchange rate fluctuations, currency
restrictions, nullification, modification, or renegotiations of
contracts, potential vessel seizure, nationalization of assets,
import-export quotas, and other forms of public and governmental
regulation. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those
indicated in the forward-looking statements.

======== ======== ======== ========
Quarter Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2001
Revenues. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased
44% to $157.4 million from $109.0 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2001. The increase in revenues resulted primarily from
increased activity in our Latin America and West Africa segments
partially offset by decreased activity and/or lower pricing in
the Gulf of Mexico Offshore Construction, Gulf of Mexico Diving,
Gulf of Mexico Marine Support and the Asia Pacific segments.
Gross Profit. For the quarter ended June 30, 2002, we had gross
profit of $27.8 million compared with $20.5 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001, a 36% increase. Our gross profit
margins decreased to 18% as compared to 19% for the comparable
period last year. The decrease is attributable to decreases in
activity and/or pricing reductions in the Gulf of Mexico Offshore
Construction, Gulf of Mexico Diving and Gulf of Mexico Marine
Support segments and due to a different mix of contract work in
the Company's West Africa segment offset by activity increases in
the Company's Latin America segment.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the quarter
ended June 30, 2002, selling, general and administrative expenses
were essentially unchanged at $9.2 million as compared to $9.3
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization,
including amortization of dry-docking costs, for the quarter
ended June 30, 2002 was $16.5 million compared to the $13.8
million recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The 20%
increase was principally attributable to increased utilization of
the Company's pipelay/derrick barges, which are depreciated on a
units-of-production basis, in Latin America and Gulf of Mexico
Offshore Construction. The increase was partially offset by the
cessation of goodwill amortization, beginning January 1, 2002, in
accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." Amortization of goodwill for the quarter ended June 30,
2001 was $0.7 million.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $3.6 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2002, from $5.6 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001, due to lower interest rates and
lower average outstanding debt levels.
Other Expense (Income). Other income increased to $0.1 million
in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from an expense of $0.6
million in the prior comparable quarter due primarily to gains
associated with the cessation of two joint ventures.
Net Income. For the quarter ended June 30, 2002, we recorded net
income of $9.8 million as compared to net income of $2.8 million
recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Our effective tax
was 35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to 34% for
the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
Segment Information. We have identified seven reportable
segments as required by SFAS No. 131. The following discusses
the results of operations for each of those reportable segments
during the second quarter of 2002 and 2001.
Gulf of Mexico Offshore Construction - Due to decreased activity,
revenues declined 15% to $26.5 million (including nominal
intersegment revenues) for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from
$31.3 million (including $0.7 million of intersegment revenues)
for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Income before taxes
increased to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002
from a loss before income taxes of $0.5 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2001. The increase in income before income taxes
was due primarily to increased vessel utilization associated with
certain Gulf of Mexico construction vessels working in our Latin
America segment.
Gulf of Mexico Diving - Revenues from diving related services in
the Gulf of Mexico decreased 33% to $6.6 million (including $2.8
million intersegment revenues) for the quarter ended June 30,
2002 from $9.8 million (including $3.3 million intersegment
revenues) for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Loss before
income taxes increased to $0.8 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2002 compared to breakeven for the quarter ended June 30,
2001. The decline in revenues and increase in the loss before
income taxes were due primarily to a decrease in activity.
Gulf of Mexico Marine Support - Revenues decreased 30% to $8.8
million (including $0.9 million of intersegment revenues) for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $12.6 million (including $1.2
million of intersegment revenues) for the quarter ended June 30,
2001. Approximately one-half of the revenue decrease was due to
decreased activity and one-half was due to lower pricing. These
declines resulted in a decrease in income before income taxes to
$1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to
income before income taxes of $5.6 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2001.
West Africa - Revenues increased 174% to $14.5 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $5.3 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase in revenues was due to
increased activity primarily for work performed on two large
contracts, one of which has a large amount of procurement and
subcontract content. Loss before income taxes increased to $3.7
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to a loss
before income taxes of $0.4 million for the same period in 2001.
Loss before income taxes as a percentage of revenues increased
primarily due to the higher percentage of procurement and
subcontract content in the contract work in the quarter ended
June 30, 2002.
Latin America - Latin America benefited from increased activity
during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Revenues increased 391%
to $69.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $14.1
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Income before
income taxes increased to $12.4 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2002 from a loss before income taxes of $1.5 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Revenues and income before
income taxes increased due primarily to work performed on one
large contract.
Asia Pacific - Decreases in activity in the Asia Pacific region
resulted in a 10% decrease in revenues to $33.9 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $37.6 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001. Income before income taxes
increased to $5.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002
from income before income taxes of $2.0 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2001. Although revenues declined, income
increased due primarily to high margin contracts being performed
in Thailand and Malaysia as compared to lower margin contracts
being performed in Indonesia in the comparable period last year.
Middle East - Revenues decreased 51% to $1.7 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $3.5 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001 due to decreased activity in the
region. Results declined by $0.1 million to a loss before income
taxes of $1.1 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from a loss
before income taxes of $1.0 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2001.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001
Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of
$262.1 million were 45% higher than revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 of $180.3 million. The increase in revenues
resulted primarily from increased activity in certain areas
including West Africa and Latin America, partially offset by a
decrease in activity and/or lower pricing in the Gulf of Mexico
Offshore Construction, Gulf of Mexico Diving, Gulf of Mexico
Marine Support, Asia Pacific, and Middle East segments.
Gross Profit. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, we had
gross profit of $34.7 million compared with $29.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily the
result of increased activity in our Latin America segment and a
different mix of contract work in our Asia Pacific segment
partially offset by a lower margin EPIC type contract in our West
Africa segment and decreased activity and/or pricing in our Gulf
of Mexico Offshore Construction, Gulf of Mexico Diving, Gulf of
Mexico Marine Support. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit
for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was 13% compared to 16% for
the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. For the six months
ended June 30, 2002, selling, general, and administrative
expenses were $18.4 million compared to $18.2 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2001. This nominal increase is
primarily attributable to increased costs in our Latin America
segment related to the increase in activity.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization,
including amortization of drydocking costs, for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 was $29.8 million compared to the $26.0
million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2001. The 15%
increase was principally attributable to increased utilization of
the Company's pipelay/derrick barges, which are depreciated on a
units-of-production basis, in Latin America and Gulf of Mexico
Offshore Construction. The increase was partially offset by the
cessation of goodwill amortization, beginning January 1, 2002, in
accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." Amortization of goodwill for the six months ended June
30, 2001 was $1.5 million.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $7.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $11.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2001. This 28% decrease is
attributable to lower interest rates and lower outstanding debt
levels.
Other Expense (Income). Other expense increased $1.3 million to
$0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared with
other income of $0.6 million for the same period in 2001. The
increase is due primarily to reduced interest income and increased
exchange losses partially offset by gains associated with the
completion of two joint ventures during the six months ended June
30, 2002.
Net Income (Loss). For the six months ended June 30, 2002, we
recorded net income of $5.0 million, compared to a net loss of
$0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Our
effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was 35%
compared to 44% for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Segment Information. We have identified seven reportable segments
as required by SFAS No. 131. The following discusses the results
of operations for each of those reportable segments during the
first six months of 2002 and 2001.
Gulf of Mexico Offshore Construction - During the six months
ended June 30, 2002, revenues decreased due to decreased activity
for offshore construction services in the Gulf of Mexico. This
segment's gross revenues decreased 24% to $42.2 million
(including $1.2 million intersegment revenues) for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 compared to $55.5 million (including $1.2
million intersegment revenues) for the six months ended June 30,
2001. The loss before income taxes increased by $2.6 million to
a loss before income taxes of $5.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 from a loss before income taxes of $3.3 million
for the same period in 2001.
Gulf of Mexico Diving - Revenues for the six months ended June
30, 2002 decreased 24% to $12.9 million (including $6.5 million
intersegment revenues) compared to $17.0 million (including $5.7
million intersegment revenues) for the same period in 2001 due to
decreased activity. Due to activity declines and pricing
pressures, this segment reported a loss before income taxes for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $2.9 million compared to a
loss before taxes of $1.1 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2001.
Gulf of Mexico Marine Support - Gulf of Mexico marine support
revenues decreased $5.9 million to $17.4 (including $1.7 million
intersegment revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
compared to $23.3 million (including $2.0 million intersegment
revenues) for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease
is a result of decreased activity and pricing decreases in the
Gulf of Mexico marine support segment. As a result of an overall
decrease in activity levels and reduced pricing, income before
income taxes decreased to $2.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 compared to income before income taxes of $10.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
West Africa - For the six months ended June 30, 2002, revenues
increased 148% to $38.2 million from $15.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in revenues was due to
increased activity primarily for work performed on two large
contracts, one of which has a large amount of procurement and
subcontract content. Income before income taxes decreased $3.0
million to a loss before income taxes of $0.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 from income before income taxes of
$2.1 million for the same period in 2001. Earnings as a
percentage of revenues decreased due to a different mix of
contract work in the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Latin America - Revenues increased 494% to $108.1 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2002 from $18.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 due primarily to work performed on two
large contracts, one of which has a large amount of procurement
and subcontractor content. Income before income taxes increased
$19.2 million to $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2002 from a loss before income taxes of $3.3 million for the same
period ended June 30, 2001.
Asia Pacific - Asia Pacific revenues decreased $2.2 million to
$48.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $50.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Results improved
by $4.0 million to income before income taxes of $0.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 from a loss before income
taxes of $3.6 million for the same period in 2001. The
improvement in income before income taxes was attributable to
higher margin work performed in Thailand and Malaysia versus
lower margin work performed in Indonesia in the same period in
2001.
Middle East - Revenues decreased $4.4 million to $4.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $8.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2001. Due to reduced activity,
results declined by $0.9 million to a loss before income taxes of
$1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from a loss
before income taxes of $0.8 million for the six months ended June
30, 2001.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance increased by $9.2 million to $20.8 million at
June 30, 2002 from $11.6 million at December 31, 2001. During
the six months ended June 30, 2002, our operations generated cash
flow of $3.6 million. Cash generated from financing activities
of $19.1 million and the net repayment of debt is a result of the
net proceeds of our secondary common stock offering which was
completed at the end of March 2002. Cash from operations and
cash from financing activities funded investing activities of
$13.5 million. Investing activities consisted principally of
capital expenditures and dry-docking costs. Working capital
increased by $53.0 million to $117.6 million at June 30, 2002
from $64.6 million at December 31, 2001. The increase in working
capital is due to an increase in cash and accounts receivable and
a decrease in current maturities of long-term debt partially
offset by an increase in accounts payable. Working capital is
anticipated to continue to increase as activity increases. At
June 30, 2002, our backlog was $295.2 million, the third largest
quarter-end backlog in our history, as compared to a backlog of
$117.3 million at June 30, 2001. Approximately 65% of the
backlog is expected to be performed during 2002.
Our capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2002
aggregated $10.3 million. We estimate that the cost to complete
capital expenditure projects in progress at June 30, 2002 will be
approximately $1.5 million, all of which is expected to be
incurred during the next twelve months.
Long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2002 (including current
maturities) includes $122.0 million of Title XI bonds, and $50.0
million drawn against the credit facility discussed below.
Prior to March 27, 2002, we maintained a credit facility, which
consisted of a $51.0 million term loan facility and a $100.0
million revolving loan facility. On March 27, 2002, the term
loan facility was repaid in its entirety from the proceeds of an
equity offering as discussed below. The remaining facility
consisted exclusively of the $100.0 million revolving loan
facility. This facility matures on December 30, 2004. The
revolving loan facility permits both prime rate bank borrowings
and London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") borrowings plus a
floating spread. The spreads can range from 1.00% to 2.25% and
2.25% to 3.50% for prime rate and LIBOR based borrowings,
respectively. In addition, the credit facility allows for
certain fixed rate interest options on amounts outstanding.
Stock of our subsidiaries, certain real estate, and the majority
of our vessels collateralize the loans under the credit facility.
On March 18, 2002, we amended our credit facility. The amendment
reduced the consolidated net worth covenant requirement to $440.0
million for the quarter ending June 30, 2002 and thereafter. We
paid an amendment fee of $0.2 million. The revolving loan
facility is subject to certain other financial covenants. At
June 30, 2002, we were in compliance with this credit facility
and all financial covenants. At June 30, 2002, $35.0 million was
drawn against this facility.
On April 30, 2002, we amended and restated our revolving loan
facility to provide an additional $48.0 million 364-day revolving
credit line. We paid a $0.4 million fee for this amendment.
This new credit line was entered into to provide additional
working capital for us in anticipation of increases in activity.
The amended revolving loan facility is subject to certain
financial covenants. At June 30, 2002, we were in
compliance with all of our financial covenants under this
facility. At June 30, 2002, $15.0 million was drawn against the
$48.0 million facility.
Our aggregate revolving facilities total $148.0 million. As of
August 7, 2002, we had an aggregate of $74.6 million of credit
availability under our two revolving credit facilities.
We completed a secondary offering of 8.5 million shares of common
stock and 0.9 million shares of common stock on March 27, 2002
and April 2, 2002, respectively, which raised $79.6 million in
aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting fees and other expenses of
$4.5 million. We received $72.3 million and $7.3 million of
proceeds in March 2002 and April 2002, respectively. These
proceeds were used to repay $51.0 million in outstanding
indebtedness under our term loan facility and $16.0 million under
our revolving loan facility on March 27, 2002. In the quarter
ended March 31, 2002, we recorded a $0.9 million charge relating
to unamortized term loan origination fees associated with the early
repayment of our term loan. The remaining proceeds and other
additional cash sources were used to redeem $27.6 million of Lake
Charles Port Improvement Bonds on June 21, 2002 and to repay the
Heller Term Note of $3.2 million on May 1, 2002.
Our Title XI bonds mature in 2020, 2022, and 2025. The bonds
carry interest rates of 8.30%, 7.25%, and 7.71% per annum,
respectively, and require aggregate semi-annual payments of $2.8
million, plus interest. The agreements pursuant to which the
Title XI bonds were issued contain certain covenants, including
the maintenance of minimum working capital and net worth
requirements. If not met, additional covenants result that
restrict our operations and our ability to pay cash dividends.
At June 30, 2002, we were in compliance with these covenants.
We also have short-term credit facilities at our foreign
locations that aggregate $7.5 million and are secured by letters
of credit. Additionally, in the normal course of business, we
provide guarantees and performance, bid, and payment bonds
pursuant to agreements, or in connection with bidding to obtain
such agreements to perform construction services. Some of these
guarantees are secured by parent company guarantees. The
aggregate of these guarantees and bonds at June 30, 2002 was
$70.0 million in surety bonds and $19.4 million in bank
guarantees and letters of credit.
On August 7, 2002, we announced that we obtained authorization to
repurchase up to $12.0 million of our stock under our existing
stock repurchase program.
We expect funds available under the existing credit facilities,
available cash, and cash generated from operations to be
sufficient to fund our operations (including the anticipated
increase in working capital required to fund increasing
activity), scheduled debt retirement, and planned capital
expenditures for the next twelve months. In addition, as we have
historically done, we will continue to evaluate the merits of any
opportunities that may arise for acquisitions of equipment or
businesses, which may require additional liquidity. For
flexibility, we maintain a shelf registration statement that as
of May 1, 2002 permits the issuance of up to $420.0 million of
debt and equity securities.
Industry Outlook
Our worldwide market place is both dynamic and demanding, but one
of considerable opportunity. We are strategically positioned,
both operationally and financially, to capitalize on these
opportunities. Although we have been experiencing some near-term
softness in our domestic regions, we remain optimistic about our
future and the future of our industry. We continue to focus our
efforts on increasing market share, successfully executing
projects, and enhancing financial performance. During the
quarter ended June 30, 2002, we booked over $132 million in new
work resulting in a backlog of $295.2 million at quarter-end, our
third largest quarter-end backlog in history, of which
approximately 90% is expected to be performed in the next twelve
months.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a discussion of significant accounting policies and estimates,
see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS ")
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142
changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method
to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill,
including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, ceased
upon adoption of this statement. We have completed the required
impairment test in the second quarter of 2002 and have determined
that this statement will not have an impact on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we discontinued the amortization
of goodwill upon the adoption of this statement on January 1,
2002. A reconciliation of previously reported net income and
earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of
goodwill amortization net of tax follows (in thousands, except
per share data):

The carrying amount of goodwill as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
is approximately $38.0 million and is entirely attributable to the
Company's Latin America segment.
SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,"
requires the recording of liabilities for all legal obligations
associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result
from the normal operation of those assets. These liabilities are
required to be recorded at their fair values (which are likely to
be the present values of the estimated future cash flows) in the
period in which they are incurred. SFAS No. 143 requires the
associated asset retirement costs to be capitalized as part of
the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The asset
retirement obligation will be accreted each year through a charge
to expense. The amounts added to the carrying amounts of the
assets will be depreciated over the useful lives of the assets.
We are required to implement SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003, and
we have not determined the impact that this statement will have
on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-lived Assets," promulgates standards for measuring and
recording impairments of long-lived assets. Additionally, this
standard establishes requirements for classifying an asset as
held for sale, and changes existing accounting and reporting
standards for discontinued operations and exchanges for long-
lived assets. We implemented SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002,
which did not have a material effect on our financial position or
results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No.
146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3,
"Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits
and Other Costs to Exit an Activity," under which a liability
for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity's
commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized at fair value when the liability is
incurred. The provisions of this statement are effective for
exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December
31, 2002.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In 2000, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which
effectively modified the interest characteristics of $15.0
million of our outstanding long-term debt. The agreement
involved the exchange of a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus
2.25% for amounts based on fixed interest rates of 7.38% plus
2.25%. The swap has a maturity of eleven months. The
transaction was entered into in the normal course of business
primarily to hedge rising interest rates. The estimated fair
market value of the interest rate swap based on quoted market
prices was ($1.3) million as of June 30, 2002. A hypothetical
100 basis point decrease in the average interest rates applicable
to such debt would result in a change of approximately ($0.4)
million in the fair value of this instrument. Quantitative and
qualitative disclosures about market risk are in Item 7A of our
10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In November of 1999, we notified Groupe GTM that as a result of
material adverse changes and other breaches by Groupe GTM, we
were no longer bound by and were terminating the Share Purchase
Agreement to purchase the shares of ETPM S.A. Groupe GTM
responded stating that they believed we were in breach. The
Share Purchase Agreement provided for liquidated damages of $25.0
million to be paid by a party that failed to consummate the
transaction under certain circumstances. We have notified Groupe
GTM that we do not believe that the liquidated damages provision
is applicable to our termination of the Share Purchase Agreement.
On December 23, 1999, we filed suit against Groupe GTM in
Tribunal de Commerce de Paris to recover damages. On June 21,
2000, Groupe GTM filed an answer and counterclaim against us
seeking the liquidated damages of $25.0 million and other
damages, costs and expenses of approximately $3.2 million (based
on current exchange rates). We believe that the outcome of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business
or financial statements.
We are involved in various routine legal proceedings primarily
involving claims for personal injury under the General Maritime
Laws of the United States and Jones Act because of alleged
negligence. We believe that the outcome of all such proceedings,
even if determined adversely, would not have a material adverse
effect on our business or financial statements.
