For definitions of certain technical terms contained in this Form 10-Q, see the Glossary of Certain Technical Terms contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Cash flows from operating activities for accrued contract losses in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 has been reclassified to conform to the March 31, 2014 presentation. Operating results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE 2 – CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE AND RETAINAGE

The principal customers of the Company include major and large independent oil and gas companies, marine companies, and their contractors. Of our contracts receivable balance at March 31, 2014, $65.7 million, or 71.0%, is with three customers. Projects for these three customers consist of a deepwater hull and deck for one customer, two separate projects with fabrication and installation of offshore skids for another customer, and jackets, piles, and topsides for a deepwater Gulf of Mexico project for a third customer.

At March 31, 2014, the Company’s contracts receivable balance included a reserve for bad debt in the amount of $0.9 million, recorded in the third quarter 2013 in connection with a vessel upgrade and outfitting project.

NOTE 3 – ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

On July 13, 2012, we received notice from our customer, Bluewater Industries, requesting (i) a slowdown of work on ATP Oil & Gas (UK) Limited’s Cheviot project, and (ii) an amendment to the scheduled payment terms under the original contract. On August 16, 2012, we entered into a binding agreement with Bluewater, an engineering consulting firm engaged by ATP UK to oversee the fabrication of the Cheviot project, to amend and restate the original contract and suspend the project. Among other things, the agreement outlines the revised payment terms for the contracts receivable balance and the limitations on Bluewater’s ability to request an extended suspension of work. Specifically, Bluewater was required to pay $200,000 on or before the last day of each calendar month through February 28, 2013, with the remaining outstanding balance due on or before March 31, 2013. In addition, if Bluewater had fully paid the balance on or prior to March 31, 2013, Bluewater would have had the option to extend the suspension of work on the Cheviot project to June 30, 2013, after which Bluewater would have no further rights to request a suspension of work. If Bluewater failed to make timely payments pursuant to the revised payment plan, we had the right to terminate the Contract, and to retain title to any project deliverables. We also entered into a security agreement with Bluewater pursuant to which Bluewater granted us a security interest in certain of its equipment.

As of December 31, 2012, $56.8 million had been billed on the Cheviot project and the outstanding balance was approximately $31.3 million. We recorded a $14.5 million reserve on the balance as of December 31, 2012. All installments under the agreement were paid through February 28, 2013; however the remaining balance of $30.9 million was not paid on or before March 31, 2013, triggering a default by our customer. As of April 1, 2013, the agreement terminated and we initiated action to enforce our rights under the security agreement.

As of June 30, 2013, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities relating to the project was reclassified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet, resulting in a non-cash change in contract receivables, billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, and assets held for sale. There was no additional loss recorded in connection with the non-cash reclassification. As of March 31, 2014, management estimates that the fair value of these assets held for sale was $13.5 million.

- 8 -

Assets held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management determined fair value with the assistance of third party valuation specialists, assuming the sale of the underlying assets individually or in the aggregate to a willing market participant, including normal ownership risks assumed by the purchaser, and the sale of certain components at scrap value. We estimated fair value relying primarily on the cost approach and applied the market approach where comparable sales transaction information was readily available. The cost approach is based on current replacement or reproduction costs of the subject assets less depreciation attributable to physical, functional, and economic factors. The market approach involves gathering data on sales and offerings of similar assets in order to value the subject assets. This approach also includes an assumption for the measurement of the loss in value from physical, functional, and economic factors. The fair value of assets held for sale represent Level 3 fair value measurements (as defined by GAAP), based primarily on the limited availability of market pricing information for either identical or similar items. As of March 31, 2014, management estimates that the fair value of these assets held for sale was $13.5 million.

During the first quarter of 2014, we entered into an agreement with the manufacturer of certain equipment, representing approximately 50% of the fair value of assets held for sale. The manufacturer has agreed to assist with the preparation for sale and marketing efforts of this equipment, in return for a percentage of the sale proceeds.

To date, we have not sold, licensed, or leased any of the equipment subject to the security agreement; however, we continue to actively market the equipment, and believe that the fair value of the assets is recoverable through the eventual disposition of project deliverables and the enforcement of our security interest in Bluewater’s equipment. However, the ultimate amount we are able to recover for these assets is dependent upon various factors such as our ability to enforce our security interest over all of the deliverables and equipment, as well as market interest in the project deliverables and equipment, which may change in the future. Changes in these factors may result in a revision to the recorded fair value amount of assets held for sale and the amount ultimately recovered.

NOTE 4 – LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a credit agreement with Whitney Bank and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) that provides the Company with an $80 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to use up to the full amount of the available borrowing base for letters of credit and matures on December 31, 2014. We intend to renew the Credit Facility prior to its expiration.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets other than real property located in the state of Louisiana. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either the prime lending rate established by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or LIBOR plus 1.5 percent. We pay a fee on a quarterly basis of one-fourth of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused portion of the Credit Facility.

At March 31, 2014, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility, and we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $51.5 million, reducing the unused portion of our revolving credit facility to $28.5 million. We are required to maintain certain financial covenants, including a minimum current ratio of 1.25 to 1, a net worth minimum requirement of $248.2 million, debt to net worth ratio of 0.5 to 1, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to interest expense ratio of 4.0 to 1. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants.

NOTE 5 – CONTRACT COSTS

We define pass-through costs as material, freight, equipment rental, and sub-contractor services included in the direct costs of revenue associated with projects.

- 9 -

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion accounting method for fabrication contracts. Revenue from fixed-price or unit rate contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, computed by the efforts-expended method which measures the percentage of labor hours incurred to date as compared to estimated total labor hours to complete each contract. This progress percentage is applied to our estimate of total anticipated gross profit for each contract to determine gross profit earned to date. Revenue recognized in a period for a contract is the amount of gross profit recognized for that period plus cost incurred, including pass-through costs on the contract during the period. Consequently, pass-through costs are included in revenue but have no impact in the determination of gross profit for a particular period.

Pass-through costs as a percentage of revenue were 68.9% and 56.3% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts include unbilled costs of $14.3 million relating to two major customers. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings include advances of $20.9 million from three major customers.

At March 31, 2014, we recorded revenue totaling $5.0 million related to certain change orders on seven projects which have been approved as to scope but not price. We expect to resolve these change orders in the second quarter of 2014. At March 31, 2013, we recorded revenue totaling $4.8 million related to certain change orders on three projects that had been approved as to scope but not price. All unapproved items as of March 31, 2013 have been subsequently approved in the normal course of business.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 24, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share on the shares of our common stock outstanding, payable May 30, 2014 to shareholders of record on May 13, 2014.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements under “Backlog,” “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and other statements in this report and the exhibits hereto that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from the results and outcomes predicted in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon such forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from expectations or projections include those described in Item 1A. Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013). We believe that our accounting policy on revenue recognition involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. Critical accounting policies are discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no changes in our evaluation of our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2013.

Backlog

Our backlog is based on management’s estimate of the direct labor hours required to complete a project, and the remaining revenue to be recognized with respect to those projects for which a customer has authorized us to begin work or purchase materials pursuant to written contracts, letters of intent or other forms of authorization. As engineering and design plans are finalized or changes to existing plans are made, management’s estimate of the direct labor hours required to complete a project and the price of a project at completion is likely to change.

All projects currently included in our backlog are generally subject to suspension, termination, or a reduction in scope at the option of the customer, although the customer is ordinarily required to pay us for work performed and materials purchased through the date of termination, suspension, or reduction in scope. In addition, customers have the ability to delay the execution of projects.

As of March 31, 2014, we had a revenue backlog of $271.4 million and a labor backlog of approximately 2.5 million man-hours remaining to work, including commitments received through April 14, 2014, compared to a revenue backlog of $358.7 million and a labor backlog of 3.3 million man-hours reported as of December 31, 2013.

Of our backlog at March 31, 2014,

- 12 -

Projects for our three largest customers consist of a jacket, piles, and topsides for a deepwater Gulf of Mexico project for one customer, which commenced in the second and third quarters of 2013, respectively; two 214 foot offshore supply vessels (OSVs) for a second customer, which commenced in the first quarter of 2013; and two projects for the fabrication and installation of offshore skids for one customer, which commenced in the second quarter of 2013. The deepwater project is scheduled to be completed during the third quarter of 2015; the first OSV is expected to ship during the second quarter of 2014; the second OSV is expected to ship during the fourth quarter of 2014; and the fabrication and installation of skids are scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the end of 2015, respectively.

Depending on the size of the project, the termination, postponement, or reduction in scope of any one project could significantly reduce our backlog, and could have a material adverse effect on revenue, net income and cash flow.

As of March 31, 2014, we expect to recognize revenue from our backlog of approximately

The timing of our recognition of the revenue backlog as presented above is based on management’s estimates of the application of the direct labor hours to complete the projects in our backlog. Certain factors and circumstances, as mentioned above, could cause changes in timing of the recognition of revenue from our backlog as well as the ultimate amounts recorded.

Based on the activity of the major oil and gas companies and certain engineering companies, we expect bids for deepwater projects to be available in the second half of 2014. Bidding activity for non-traditional Gulf of Mexico (“GOM”) marine related projects, GOM shallow water projects, and ancillary work associated with deepwater structures is expected to increase in the second quarter of 2014.

- 13 -

Workforce

As of March 31, 2014, we had approximately 2,000 employees and approximately 250 contract employees, compared to approximately 1,900 employees and approximately 470 contract employees as of December 31, 2013.

Man-hours worked were 953,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, compared to 1.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. The major factors contributing to the decrease in man-hours worked for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 was the significant effort towards completion of work on two deepwater projects and higher utilization of subcontract work in the second half of 2013, as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, partially offset by increased work on jacket, piles, and topside projects for a large deepwater customer, destined for the Gulf of Mexico in the first quarter of 2014.

Results of Operations

Our revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $134.7 million and $150.4 million, respectively, representing a decrease of 10.5%.

The decrease in revenue for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to substantial revenue for a large deepwater project recognized during the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by higher levels of revenue from pass-through costs in 2014. Pass-through costs as a percentage of revenue was 68.9% and 56.3%, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively. Pass-through costs increased primarily due to increased amounts of subcontractor services incurred for several of our projects as they entered into the latter stages of completion. Pass-through costs, as described in Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, are included in revenue, but have no impact on the timing of recognition of gross profit for any given period.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, gross profit was $8.8 million (6.5% of revenue) and $6.7 million (4.5% of revenue), respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased margin on revenue associated with fabrication of topside and hull projects for a large deepwater customer after contract renegotiations to effectively convert the contracts from a unit rate basis to a capped time and materials basis and increased margin on two projects for the fabrication and installation of offshore skids.

General and administrative expenses were $3.4 million and $2.4 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 were 2.5%, compared to 1.6% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. Factors that contributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 include:

- 14 -

The Company had net interest expense of $21,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, compared to net interest expense of $63,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in net interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 was primarily driven by a reduction in interest expense as a result of decreased borrowings on our line of credit during the first three months of 2014.

The Company had $104,000 of other expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, compared to no other expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. Other expense for the period ended March 31, 2014, primarily represents gains or losses on sales of property, plant, and equipment.

Our effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 was 33%, compared to an effective tax rate of 35% for the comparable period of 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month period is due to an increase in our estimated Federal qualified production activities income deduction and a decrease in Louisiana state income tax apportionment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have funded our business activities through cash generated from operations. The Company has a credit agreement with Whitney Bank and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) that provides the Company with an $80 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to use up to the full amount of the available borrowing base for letters of credit and matures on December 31, 2014. We intend to renew the Credit Facility prior to its expiration. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets, other than real property located in the state of Louisiana. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either the prime lending rate established by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or LIBOR plus 1.5 percent. We pay a fee on a quarterly basis of one-fourth of one percent per annum on the weighted-average unused portion of the Credit Facility.

At April 28, 2014, no amounts were borrowed under the Credit Facility, and we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $51.5 million, reducing the unused portion of the Credit Facility to $28.5 million. We are required to maintain certain financial covenants, including a minimum current ratio of 1.25 to 1 a minimum net worth requirement of $248.2 million, debt to net worth ratio of 0.5 to 1, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to interest expense ratio of 4.0 to 1. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all covenants, and had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.

At March 31, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $23.2 million, compared to $36.7 million at December 31, 2013. Working capital was $79.8 million and our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.85 to 1 at March 31, 2014. Our primary use of cash during the period was related to capital expenditures for our Texas facility and costs related to one of our large deepwater projects.

- 15 -

In connection with work associated with a hull and topside project for a large deepwater customer, we had a receivable balance of $ 39.0 million at March 31, 2014, of which $8.2 million was subsequently received. In addition, we had unbilled amounts of $7.0 at March 31, 2014 related to these projects. We expect to bill and collect these amounts in the second quarter of 2014.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 net cash used in operating activities was $2.3 million, compared to $17.0 million at March 31, 2013. The decrease in cash used in operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, was primarily due to the subsequent collection of certain March 31, 2013 contract receivable amounts, offset by a non-cash reclassification of $6.9 million relating to a capital expenditure accrual that will be paid in the second quarter of 2014. At March 31, 2013 we had approximately $102.5 million in receivables for four projects, of which $84.8 million was subsequently collected, $0.9 million was included in a reserve for bad debt, and $16.8 million was included in a June 30, 2013 reclassification of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities to assets held for sale, related to the Cheviot project, as further described in Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 was $9.7 million, compared to $4.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. Investing activities for 2014 were primarily related to capital expenditures for equipment, including the purchase of a crane for our Texas facility.

We anticipate capital expenditures for the remainder of 2014 to be approximately $20.0 million. Included in anticipated expenditures for the next three quarters is the purchase of equipment and additional yard and facility infrastructure improvements, including $5.4 of maintenance capital expenditures at our Texas and Louisiana facilities, $1.1 million for yard improvements at our Texas facility, $6.9 million for a crane at our Texas facility and $1.2 million for forklifts for our Texas facility.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three-months ended March 31, 2014 was $1.5 million related to payments of dividends, compared to net cash provided from financing activities of $8.5 million at March 31, 2013 relating to proceeds from borrowings against our line of credit, offset by the payment of dividends.

We believe our cash and cash equivalents, generated by operating activities, our investment in net contract position, and funds available under the revolver will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures and meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. However, job awards may require us to issue additional letters of credit further reducing the capacity available on our revolving line of credit.
