NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to instructions for the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that we believe are necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2003 and our results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Reporting Requirements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. This standard requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period incurred. Our adoption of SFAS No. 143 as of January 1, 2003 has not had a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Direct Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements and clarifies that a guarantor is required, at the inception of the guarantee, to recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. We have not had an impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations from FIN 45.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which is effective for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities where:

We have not had a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations from FIN 46.

Our shareholders’ equity consisted of the following:

5.      Income Taxes

We paid cash taxes of $2.8 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Page 6

6.      Business Segment Information

We supply a comprehensive range of technical services and specialty products to customers in a variety of industries. Our Oil and Gas business consists of five business segments: Remotely Operated Vehicles (“ROVs”); Subsea Products; Subsea Projects; Mobile Offshore Production Systems; and Inspection and Non-Destructive Testing (“NDT”.) Our Advanced Technologies business is a separate segment that provides project management, engineering services and equipment for applications outside the oil and gas industry. Unallocated expenses are those not associated with a specific business segment. These consist of expenses related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans, including restricted stock and bonuses, as well as other general expenses.

Before 2003, our Subsea Projects segment, which consists of our subsea installation, maintenance and repair services utilizing our Gulf of Mexico vessels, including our Ocean Intervention class vessels, and our specialized diving group, and our Inspection & NDT segment, which consists of non-destructive testing and inspection services, were reported together as our Other Services segment. In January 2003, we completed the acquisition of OIS International Inspection plc, which approximately tripled the size of our inspection and non-destructive testing operations. As a result, we are now reporting Inspection & NDT as a separate segment. We have reclassified our prior periods to conform with the current classifications.

Other than as we explained above, there are no differences in the basis of segmentation or in the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from those used in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. The following summarizes certain financial data by business segment:

7.      Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all nonowner changes in equity. The amounts of comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are as follows:

Amounts comprising other elements of comprehensive income in Shareholders’ Equity are as follows:

In January 2003, we purchased 100% of the stock of OIS International Inspection plc, an international provider of inspection and non-destructive testing services, for approximately $29 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, with the purchase price being allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their fair market values at the date of acquisition. We have made the purchase price allocation based on estimates using information currently available to us and the allocations are subject to change when final asset and liability valuations are obtained. The acquisition was not material, therefore we have not included pro forma information. The results of operations of OIS International Inspection plc are included in our consolidated statement of income from the date of the acquisition.

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

All statements in this Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, statements regarding our business strategy, plans for future operations and industry conditions, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those we have referred to under the headings “Business— Risks and Insurance” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, because of the inherent limitations in the forecasting process, as well as the relatively volatile nature of the industries in which we operate, we can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to be correct. Accordingly, evaluation of our future prospects must be made with caution when relying on forward-looking information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have based the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require us to make various estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods we present. We base our estimates on historical experience, available information and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates; however, our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following discussion summarizes the accounting policies we believe (1) require our management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and (2) are the most critical to our reporting of results of operations and financial position.

Revenue Recognition.    Our revenues are primarily derived from billings under contracts that provide for specific time, material and equipment charges, which we accrue daily and bill periodically, ranging from weekly to monthly. We account for significant lump-sum contracts, which we enter into mainly in our Subsea Products and Advanced Technologies segments, and occasionally in our Subsea Projects segment, using the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, we generally recognize estimated contract revenue based on costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs. Changes in the expected cost of materials and labor, productivity, scheduling and other factors affect the total estimated costs. Additionally, external factors, including weather or other factors outside of our control, may also affect the progress and estimated cost of a project’s completion and, therefore, the timing of income and revenue recognition. We routinely review estimates related to our contracts and reflect revisions to profitability in earnings immediately. If a current estimate of total contract costs indicates an ultimate loss on a contract, we recognize the projected loss in full when we determine it. Although we are continually striving to improve our ability to estimate our contract costs and profitability, adjustments to overall contract costs may be significant in future periods.

Long-lived Assets.    We evaluate our property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be appropriate. We base these evaluations on a comparison of the assets’ fair values, which are generally based on forecasts of cash flows associated with the assets, or fair market value of the assets, to the carrying amounts of the assets. Any impairment is recorded as the amount, if any, by which the carrying amounts exceed the fair values. Our expectations regarding future sales and undiscounted cash flows are highly subjective, cover extended periods of time and depend on a number of factors outside our control, such as changes in general economic conditions, laws and regulations. Accordingly, these expectations could differ significantly from year to year.

We expense the costs of repair and maintenance as we incur them, except for drydocking costs associated with our larger vessels. We estimate and accrue these drydock costs over a period of time in advance of future drydockings. We recognize differences between the estimates and actual costs incurred in the income statement.

Loss Contingencies.    We self-insure for workers’ compensation, maritime employer’s liability and comprehensive general liability claims to levels we consider financially prudent and carry insurance for exposures beyond the self-insurance levels, which can be by occurrence or in the aggregate. We determine the level of accruals by reviewing our historical experience and current year claim activity. We do not record accruals on a present-value basis. We review each claim with insurance adjusters and establish specific reserves for known liabilities. We establish an additional reserve for incidents incurred but not reported to us for each year using our estimates and based on prior experience. We believe we have established adequate accruals for uninsured expected liabilities arising from those obligations. However, it is possible that future earnings could be affected by changes in our estimates relating to these matters.

Page 9

We are involved in various claims and actions against us, most of which are covered by insurance. We believe that our ultimate liability, if any, that may result from these claims and actions will not materially affect our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

For a summary of our major accounting policies, please read note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q and note 1 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Changes in Financial Condition

We consider our liquidity and capital resources adequate to support our operations and capital commitments. At March 31, 2003, we had working capital of $103 million, including $40 million of cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, we had $80 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility.

Our capital expenditures were $38 million during the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to $7 million during the corresponding period of last year. Capital expenditures in the current year consisted primarily of the acquisition of OIS International Inspection plc. Prior-year capital expenditures consisted primarily of expenditures relating to the addition of units to our fleet of ROVs to replace older units we retired.

We had no material commitments for capital expenditures at March 31, 2003.

At March 31, 2003, we had long-term debt of $116 million and a 27% debt-to-total capitalization ratio. We have $100 million of Senior Notes outstanding, to be repaid from 2006 through 2010. We have an $80 million revolving credit facility, under which we had no outstanding borrowings and $80 million available for future borrowings at March 31, 2003. This facility is scheduled to expire in October 2003. We anticipate that we will replace it with a new revolving credit facility before the end of July 2003. We also have a term-loan facility that is to be repaid through April 2004. At March 31, 2003, we had $16 million in outstanding borrowings under the term-loan facility. Both the revolving credit and term loan facilities have short-term interest rates that float with market rates, plus applicable spreads. We have effectively fixed the interest rate on the term loan at approximately 4% through an interest rate hedge. We have no off-balance sheet debt and have not guaranteed any debt not reflected on our consolidated balance sheets.

Changes in Results of Operations

We operate in six business segments. The segments are contained within two businesses—services and products provided to the oil and gas industry (“Oil and Gas”) and all other services and products (“Advanced Technologies”). Before 2003, our Subsea Projects segment, which consists of our subsea installation, maintenance and repair services utilizing our Gulf of Mexico vessels, including our two Ocean Intervention class vessels, and our specialized diving group, and our Inspection & NDT segment, which consists of non-destructive testing and inspection services, were reported together as our Other Services segment. In January 2003, we completed the acquisition of OIS International Inspection plc, which approximately tripled the size of our inspection and non-destructive testing operations. As a result, we are now reporting Inspection & NDT as a separate segment. We have reclassified our prior periods to conform with the current classifications.

Consolidated revenue and margin information is as follows:

In our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, we restated periods before September 30, 2002 to correct errors related to our accounting for, among other things, restricted stock expense, Brazilian currency translation and the timing of certain employee benefit accruals. The following discussion addresses those financial results as restated. For a discussion of the restatement, see note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Form 10-K.

Our Oil and Gas business results are influenced by the level of capital spending by oil and gas companies in the offshore sector, particularly in deepwater, that is, at water depths of 1,000 feet or more. In 2002, we saw a decrease

Page 10

in deepwater exploration activity, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico. We have noted continuing delays in the development of deepwater prospects around the world. As a result, the increase in ROV drill support services that we had expected to begin in the second half of 2002 has not yet materialized. In addition, as evidenced by the decline in our Subsea Products backlog from $61 million at December 31, 2001 to $31 million at March 31, 2003, a surge in these operations appears unlikely before mid-2003. Based on the number of subsea tree orders and our outstanding bids, we anticipate our backlog will increase by June 30, 2003, with a subsequent increase in activity.

We generate a material amount of our consolidated revenue from contracts for marine services and Inspection & NDT services in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea, which are usually more active from April through November compared to the rest of the year. However, our exit from the diving sector in the North Sea in early 1998 and the substantial number of multiyear ROV contracts that we entered into since calendar year 1997 have reduced the seasonality of our Subsea Projects and ROV operations. Revenues in our Mobile Offshore Production Systems, Subsea Products and Advanced Technologies segments are generally not seasonal.

Oil and Gas

The table below sets forth our revenues and gross margins for our Oil and Gas business for the periods indicated.

Our ROV segment gross margins have been declining since the first quarter of 2001 as our fleet utilization has been dropping and our units available have remained constant. This has been attributable to a reduction in demand for ROV drill support services onboard floating drilling rigs rated to work in water depths of less than 3,000 feet. This has impacted our results principally in Norway and West Africa. Over the balance of the year we anticipate an increase in profitability primarily from our international operations, including Norway and West Africa, as drilling rig demand increases. In the second half of the year we anticipate an increase in our Gulf of Mexico operations, as we project that several additional systems will be utilized from floating production platforms.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, our Subsea Products revenues and gross margins declined from the corresponding quarter of the prior year due to reduced activity at our U.K. and Brazil umbilical plants. While our outlook for the Subsea Products segment is highly positive based on the projected growth in subsea wellhead

Page 11

completions, we anticipate this segment’s results will be lower in 2003 as compared to 2002, based on our reduced level of backlog of $31 million at March 31, 2003 as compared to $61 million at December 31, 2001.

For our Subsea Projects segment, a decrease in offshore activity in the Gulf of Mexico contributed to the decrease in gross margins for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The margins were favorably impacted by reductions in cost estimates totaling $1.9 million. We adjusted the cost estimates due to the favorable completion of an installation project and the settlement of a personal injury claim. We experienced a decrease in utilization of and profitability from our two Gulf of Mexico Ocean Intervention class vessels in the first three months of 2003 compared to the corresponding period of 2002. Additionally, gross margin decreased as 2002 included a contribution from a significant engineering and specialized diving contract. We believe that for 2003 our Subsea Projects segment will earn less revenue at lower margins than it did in 2002.

Our Mobile Offshore Production Systems gross margins were lower than the corresponding period of 2002. During the second quarter of 2002, our customer exercised its option to extend the Ocean Legend contract for an additional two years. As a result, our revenue and margin on this contract decreased by approximately $19,000 per day from mid-May 2002, as compared to the first quarter of 2002.

Our Inspection & NDT revenues and gross margins increased substantially as a result of our acquisition of OIS International Inspection plc in January 2003. Gross margin percentage was lower, as the acquired business had been operating at lower margins than our historical Inspection & NDT business. We anticipate having similar margin percentages for this business for the remainder of 2003, and higher margins in 2004 as we eliminate duplicate facilities and functions.

Advanced Technologies

Revenue and gross margin information is as follows:

Advanced Technologies revenues and margins were higher in the first three months of 2003 as compared to the corresponding period in 2002 from improved revenues and margins in our entertainment and marine services divisions, partially offset by lower levels of activities from our telecommunications cable ROV services. Gross margin was higher than the immediately preceding quarter from our entertainment division. We anticipate quarterly results for the rest of 2003 to be similar to those achieved in the first three months.

Unallocated Expenses

Our unallocated expenses are those not associated with a specific business segment. These consist of expenses related to our incentive and deferred compensation plans, including restricted stock and bonuses, as well as general expenses. Our unallocated expenses were $3.7 million, $6.9 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The compensation plan expenses declined in the current quarter as a result of two factors: 1) lower restricted stock expense as a result of a decline in our quarter-end stock price from the prior quarter; and 2) lower bonus accruals than the prior year as a result of lower net income.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 16% in the first three months of 2003 over the corresponding period in 2002 due to the additional expenses of OIS International Inspection plc, which we acquired in January 2003.

Other

Our equity in the earnings (loss) of our telecommunications joint venture was $(231,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $392,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Due to the current condition of the telecommunications market, this venture is currently inactive and the single vessel used in the venture is being marketed for oilfield and other uses.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to lower debt levels. Our debt had been incurred to fund the acquisition of additional equipment,

Page 12

including the Ocean Legend, and expansion of our Subsea Products production capacity. We did not capitalize any interest during the three months ended March 31, 2003 or March 31, 2002.

The provisions for income taxes were related to U.S. income taxes that we provided at estimated annual effective rates using assumptions as to earnings and other factors that would affect the tax calculation for the remainder of the year and to the operations of foreign branches and subsidiaries that were subject to local income and withholding taxes. We anticipate our effective tax rate for 2003 to be 35%.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are currently exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions we have entered into in the normal course of business. These risks relate to interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We do not believe these risks are material. We have not entered into any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. We manage our exposure to interest rate changes through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and an interest rate hedge. See note 4 of notes to consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for a description of our long-term debt agreements, interest rates and maturities. We believe that significant interest rate changes will not have a material near-term impact on our future earnings or cash flows. Because we operate in various oil and gas exploration and production regions in the world, we conduct a portion of our business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for many of our international operations is the applicable local currency. We manage our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates primarily through arranging compensation in U.S. dollars or freely convertible currency and, to the extent possible, by limiting compensation received in other currencies to amounts necessary to meet obligations denominated in those currencies. We use the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date to translate assets and liabilities as to which the functional currency is the local currency, resulting in translation adjustments that we reflect as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the shareholders’ equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. We recorded a $2.3 million adjustment to our equity accounts for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 to reflect the net impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against various foreign currencies for locations where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

Our Subsea Products business in Brazil conducts much of its operations in U.S. dollars, which is its functional currency. We recorded $1.9 million of foreign currency losses in our consolidated statement of income for 2002 related to our operations in Brazil. Foreign currency gains and losses were not material for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Within the 90-day period immediately preceding the filing of this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of that evaluation. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of that evaluation.
