NOTE 1---BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.  The balance sheet at March 31, 1998 has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  For further information, refer to
the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Halter Marine Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries' Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended March 31, 1998.


NOTE 2--BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

     During August 1997, the Company acquired the assets of Bludworth Bond
Shipyard, Inc., Houston, Texas.  During the third quarter of fiscal 1998, the
Company completed the acquisitions of four additional companies, including
AmClyde Engineered Products, Inc. and formed the Engineered Products Group.  The
aggregate purchase price for these five companies was $75 million, of which
approximately $45 million was paid in cash and the balance in 835,484 shares of
the Company's common stock.  A substantial portion of the total purchase price
was allocated to cost in excess of net assets acquired.

     The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the
combined results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
assuming consummation of the purchase of these companies as of April 1, 1997
and, after giving effect to the shares issued and certain adjustments, including
amortization of excess of cost over net assets acquired and increased interest
expense on debt related to the acquisitions, and related income tax expense.
This pro forma information does not necessarily

reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the Company,
along with these companies, constituted a single entity during these periods.

NOTE 5--CHANGE IN EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATE            

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was 30% compared to
38% for the same quarter last year.  During the second quarter of fiscal 1998,
the Company lowered its estimated annual effective tax rate to approximately 30%
reflecting the anticipated year-to-date benefit of a credit for increasing  
research activities. The current quarter continues to reflect the anticipated
benefits of this credit.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     All statements (other than statements of historical fact) contained in this
document concerning the Company's financial position and liquidity; results of
operations; prospects for commercial or government contracts; ability to take
advantage of new vessel construction and conversion opportunities; labor supply
and costs; selling, general and administrative costs; and other matters, are
forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements in this document
generally are accompanied by words such as "anticipate," believe," "estimate,"
or "expect" or similar words or phrases.  Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no
assurance can be given that such expectations will prove correct.  Certain of
the factors that could cause the Company's results to differ materially from the
results discussed in such forward-looking statements are discussed below.  All
forward-looking statements in this document are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the cautionary statements in this paragraph.


Financial Condition

     Increases in balance sheet accounts at June 30, 1998 as compared to March
31, 1998 were primarily the result of the acquisition of a shipyard facility in
Orange, Texas and other purchases of fixed assets.

Results of Operations

__________
(1) Consists of revenue from the Company's government customers, including the
    U.S. Navy, state and local governments, and foreign governments.

(2) Consists of revenue from the construction or conversion of vessels and the
    construction, conversion, and repair of mobile offshore drilling rigs.
    Vessels include offshore support vessels, offshore double-hull barges and
    tank barges.

(3) Consists of revenue from the Company's commercial customers and includes
    vessels such as tugboats, hopper barges, inland tow boats and other vessels.

(4) Consists of revenue from customers for the construction of yachts, vessel
    repairs and assorted marine products and the design and manufacture of
    engineered products.


                      THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 VS.
                        THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997


     Contract revenue increased 40.7% to $209.8 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998 compared with $149.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
Of the $60.7 million increase, $32.3 million was attributable to revenue
generated by the Engineered Products Group which was acquired during the third
quarter of fiscal 1998.  Additionally, $27.8 million of the increase was
generated by the Rigs segment as a result of the addition of a contract for the
new construction of a jack-up 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
drilling rig and increased contracts for repair and conversion of drilling rigs.

     Revenue generated from the energy customer group increased primarily as a
result of higher revenues generated by the Rigs segment as previously discussed
as well as growth in construction of offshore support vessels within the Vessels
segment.   Revenue growth within the other customer group of the Vessels segment
resulted from increased vessel repair and yacht activity.  The decline in
government revenue within the Vessels segment occurred as fiscal 1998 included
revenue from several contracts that were reaching final stages of completion
during fiscal 1999.

     The gross profit margin decreased slightly to 12.3% for the first quarter
of fiscal 1999 compared to 12.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
Excluding the Engineered Products Group, the gross margin was 11.5% for the
current quarter.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, a larger percentage
of total revenue was derived from the government customer group which generated
higher profit margins thus contributing to a higher overall gross margin for
that quarter.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.1 million to
$14.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, or 6.7% of revenue compared
to $7.9 million or 5.3% of revenue for the same quarter last year.  The increase
is primarily a result of the overall growth of the Company during the past year.
The recently acquired Engineered Products Group added approximately $2.5 million
in expenses.  The remaining increase was primarily attributable to a $1.2
million increase in salary expense and a $1.1 million increase in consulting
expenses related to a business process improvement project undertaken in the
Vessels segment during the latter part of fiscal 1998. The Company expects to
spend an additional $3.0 million on this project during the remainder of fiscal
1999 and will consider additional amounts as necessary.

     Interest expense, net of interest income, increased $0.3 million to $1.7
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $1.4 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 primarily as a result of the issuance of $185.0
million of 4 1/2% convertible subordinated notes in September 1997 and $30
million of taxable revenue bonds in January 1998.

     The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was 30%
compared to 38% for the same period last year as the Company lowered its
effective tax rate to reflect the anticipated benefit of credits for increasing
research activities.

     The Company's construction backlog of $987.8 million at June 30, 1998
increased 20.9% compared to $817.1 million at March 31, 1998 and 73.4% compared
to $569.7 million at June 30, 1997.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

     The Company's needs for capital for the three month period ending June
30,1998 resulted primarily from the acquisition of a shipyard facility in
Orange, Texas, the acquisition of fixed assets and increased working capital
requirements as a result of the Company's growth.  These needs were funded with
cash flows from operations and available cash. The Company believes that the
cash flow from operations, the remaining funds available under the existing
credit facility, excess cash generated from the Company's debt offering and
issuance of taxable revenue bonds will be sufficient to fund its requirements
for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other capital needs
for at least the next twelve months.


Year 2000 Technological Issues

     The Company is currently working to assess the potential impact of the year
2000 on the processing of time-sensitive information by its computerized
information systems and equipment.  Year 2000 issues may arise if computer
programs have been written using two digits (rather than four) to define the
applicable year.  In such case, programs that have time-sensitive logic may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which
could result in miscalculations or system failures.  Management is in the
process of completing a review of significant software used in the Company's
operations, and, to the extent practicable, in the operations of its key
business relationships such as vendors, suppliers, and financial institutions,
in order to determine if any year 2000 risks exist that may be material to the
Company as a whole. The Company does not anticipate significant exposure related
to its vendors, suppliers, or financial institutions.  The Company expects to
have substantially completed its assessment of its year 2000 exposure by the end
of fiscal 1999.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
     The Company has already begun implementing certain measures to alter,
validate or replace time-sensitive software prior to any anticipated material
impact on its computerized information systems and equipment.  Costs of
addressing potential problems have not been material to date and, based on
preliminary information, are not currently expected to have a material adverse
impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows
in future periods.

     The Company is in the process of developing a contingency plan in the
unlikely event that material year 2000 situations arise.  The Company expects to
have completed this plan by September 1999.
