On February 20, 1998, UNIFAB International, Inc. ("UNIFAB") filed a Form 8-K
dated February 5, 1998 containing a description of the acquisition of the assets
and business of Professional Industrial Maintenance, LLC ("PIM"). This Form
8-K/A-1 amends and restates the disclosure in Item 7(a) and 7(b) of the Form 8-K
dated February 5, 1998 to include the audited financial statements of PIM and
proforma financial information.


Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On February 5, 1998, UNIFAB International, Inc., the Registrant
("UNIFAB") completed its acquisition of the assets and business of Professional
Industrial Maintenance, LLC ("PIM") pursuant to the Agreement to Issue Stock in
UNIFAB International, Inc. dated February 5, 1998 among UNIFAB, PIM and Don E.
Spano, Jr., as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement to Issue Stock in UNIFAB
International, Inc. dated March 31, 1998, a copy of which documents are filed
herewith as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, (collectively, the "Purchase
Agreement"). The purchase price was $6.0 million ($4.8 million in cash and
$500,000 in shares of UNIFAB common stock at closing and $337,000 per year for
two years payable in shares of UNIFAB common stock) plus $1.0 million payment
contingent upon UNIFAB obtaining $12.0 million backlog for the acquired
fabrication facility before May 8, 1998. This contingent amount is payable in
three equal annual payments of $222,000 cash and $111,000 shares of UNIFAB
common stock, the price of which shares shall be the average closing price of
the Company's stock as published in the Wall Street Journal for the five (5)
business days preceding the date for issuance of the shares. The terms of the
acquisition were determined by arm's length negotiation between UNIFAB and PIM.
Cash at closing was paid from available funds. Contingent payments, if they
become due, are expected to be paid from working capital or additional
borrowings. The acquisition was effective as of January 1, 1998, and the
operating results of the acquired assets and business from that date will be
consolidated with the operating results of UNIFAB.

PIM provides industrial plant maintenance services and, at its fabrication
facility located twelve miles south of Lake Charles, Louisiana, with 40-foot
water depth to the Gulf of Mexico, PIM provides repair, refurbishment and
conversion services for oil and gas drilling rigs. UNIFAB intends to continue
PIM's existing maintenance service business and to expand the existing repair,
refurbishment and conversion services for deep water drilling rigs and jack ups.
UNIFAB also intends to further develop the deep water fabrication facility to
support the drilling industry's needs in both refurbishment upgrades of jack up
and semi-submersible drilling rigs for deep water use, as well as new
construction of deep water drilling rigs, platforms, and platform components.
UNIFAB intends to operate these businesses through a new wholly-owned
subsidiary.

         The acquisition was announced in the press release, dated February 5,
1998, which was filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K dated February 5, 1998.
Additional information related to the acquisition is set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.

                    (INSERT PIM AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS)

                           UNIFAB INTERNATIONAL, INC.

          PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December
31, 1997 and the related pro forma condensed combined statements of income for
the nine months ended December 31, 1997 and for the year ended March 31, 1997
give effect to the January 1, 1998 acquisition of the assets and business of
Professional Industrial Maintenance, LLC ("PIM") pursuant to the Agreement to
Issue Stock in UNIFAB International, Inc. (the "Purchase Agreement") between
UNIFAB International, Inc. and PIM.

    The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the unaudited
December 31, 1997 condensed balance sheet of UNIFAB International, Inc.
("UNIFAB") with the December 31, 1997 audited balance sheet of PIM. The pro
forma condensed combined statements of income combine the unaudited results of
operations of UNIFAB for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 with the
unaudited results of operations of PIM for the nine months ended December 31,
1997; and the audited results of operations of UNIFAB for the year ended March
31, 1997 (UNIFAB's fiscal year end) with the unaudited results of operations of
PIM for the year ended December 31, 1996, (PIM's fiscal year end), respectively.
The pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the
historical financial statements of UNIFAB and PIM, giving effect to the
assumptions and adjustments in the accompanying notes to the pro forma condensed
combined financial statements.

    The pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared by
UNIFAB's management and include such adjustments to reflect the pro forma
financial results as if the acquisition described above had occurred as of
December 31, 1997 for the pro forma balance sheet. The pro forma condensed
combined statement of income for the year ended March 31, 1997 assumes the
acquisition was effected April 1, 1996. The pro forma condensed combined
statement of income for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 assumes the
acquisition was effected April 1, 1997.

    The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and notes thereto of UNIFAB and PIM, which are
included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A-1. The pro forma financial statements may
not be indicative of the results that would have occurred if the events
described above had taken place on the dates indicated or which may be obtained
in the future.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Professional Industrial Maintenance, LLC (the Company) provides industrial plant
maintenance services and, at its fabrication facility located 12 miles south of
Lake Charles, Louisiana, provides repair, refurbishment and conversion services
for oil and gas drilling rigs. The Company shall continue in existence until
June 29, 2024, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the Articles of
Incorporation or by operation of law. Profits and losses of the Company are
allocated to members based on their ownership interest.

The Company's customers are principally in the petrochemical and the oil and gas
industries. Receivables are generally not collateralized. Receivables are
written off in the period in which they are deemed to be uncollectible. Credit
losses for the year ended December 31,1997 were approximately $271,000.

Effective January 1, 1998, UNIFAB International, Inc. (UNIFAB) acquired the
assets and business of the Company for $6.0 million ($4.8 million in cash and
$500,000 in shares of UNIFAB common stock at closing and $337,000 per year for
two years payable in shares of UNIFAB common stock) plus a $1.0 million payment
contingent upon UNIFAB obtaining $12.0 million backlog for the acquired
fabrication facility before May 8, 1998. This contingent amount is payable in
three equal annual payments of $222,000 in cash and $111,000 in shares of UNIFAB
common stock. Upon acquisition, UNIFAB terminated the Company's line of credit
by paying the balance then outstanding, and paid the Company's commercial loan
to a bank in the amount of approximately $842,000. UNIFAB also assumed debt of
approximately $450,000, secured by certain equipment and vehicles acquired in
the transaction.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.


                                                                               5

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

REVENUE AND COST RECOGNITION

Revenue from time and materials contracts is recognized on the basis of direct
labor hours worked at fixed hourly rates and the cost of materials or
subcontract costs incurred plus mark-up. Revenue from long-term, fixed-price
contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the
ratio which labor hours incurred to date bear to total estimated labor hours. In
the case of long-term contracts extending over one or more fiscal years,
revisions of the cost and profit estimated during the course of the work are
reflected in the accounting period in which the facts which require revision
become known. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount
of the ultimate loss is accrued. Variations from estimated contract performance
could result in a material adjustment to operating results for any fiscal year.

Contract costs include direct labor, material, subcontract costs and allocated
indirect costs related to contract performance. General and administrative costs
are charged to expense as incurred.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided by the
straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets, which are five
years for equipment, vehicles, and computers and seven years for buildings and
furniture and fixtures.

INCOME TAXES

The Company is a limited liability company and has elected to be taxed as a
partnership. Under this election, taxable income or loss of the Company is the
responsibility of the individual owners and is, therefore, included in the
members' tax returns.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments at MarchE31, 1997,
including cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable, closely
approximates fair value.


                                                                               6

                           UNIFAB INTERNATIONAL, INC.

     NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    UNIFAB International, Inc. ("UNIFAB") was formed on July 16, 1997 to serve
as the parent corporation of Universal Fabricators Incorporated ("Fabricators"),
51% of the outstanding common stock of which was owned by Universal Partners,
Inc. ("Universal Partners") and 49% of which was owned by McDermott Incorporated
("McDermott"). UNIFAB had no operations prior to the date of formation. On
September 24, 1997, immediately prior to the completion of an initial public
offering of 3,237,250 shares of UNIFAB's $.01 par value common stock, Universal
Partners and McDermott exchanged their respective shares of common stock of
Fabricators for shares of UNIFAB's common stock. The shareholders of Universal
Partners received 1,785,000 shares of common stock of UNIFAB and McDermott
received 1,715,000 shares of common stock of UNIFAB in this share exchange. The
accompanying pro forma condensed combined statement of income gives effect to
this exchange of shares which resulted in Fabricators being a 100%-owned
subsidiary of UNIFAB. The column titled "UNIFAB International, Inc." in the
accompanying pro forma condensed combined statement of income includes the
results of operations of Fabricators for the period prior to formation of
UNIFAB.

 NOTE 2. ACQUISITION OF PIM

    Effective January 1, 1998, UNIFAB International, Inc. ("UNIFAB") acquired
the assets and business of Professional Industrial Maintenance, LLC ("PIM"). The
purchase price was $6.0 million ($4.8 million in cash and $500,000 in shares of
UNIFAB common stock at closing and $337,000 per year for two years payable in
shares of UNIFAB common stock) plus $1.0 million payment contingent upon UNIFAB
obtaining $12.0 million backlog for the acquired fabrication facility before May
8, 1998. This contingent amount is payable in three equal annual payments of
$222,000 cash and $111,000 in shares of UNIFAB common stock, the price of which
shares shall be the average closing price of the Company's stock as published in
the Wall Street Journal for the five (5) business days preceeding the date for
issuance of the shares. In addition to the purchase price, UNIFAB paid
approximately $30,000 of direct expenses. The acquisition cost exceeds the book
value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by $6.8 million. The purchase
price was allocated to acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated
fair values.

    The pro forma adjustments to record the acquisition of the PIM assets and
business are as follows:

        (1)    To allocate purchase price based on the estimated fair values of 
            the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, eliminate the PIM
            members' deficit, record the excess of acquisition cost over fair
            value of net assets acquired (goodwill), and record the cash and
            stock payments to acquire the assets and business of PIM.

        (2)    To record  the  payment  to retire the  outstanding  debt on 
            PIM's line of credit and a certain note payable.

        (3)    To record the adjustment to interest expense to reflect the
            retirement of the outstanding debt on PIM's line of credit and a
            certain note payable as of the beginning of the period.

        (4)    To record the adjustment to interest income or expense for cash 
            used on the acquisition as of the beginning of the period.

        (5)    To record additional depreciation expense on the new basis of
            property and equipment acquired in the acquisition.

        (6)    To record amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired 
            of $6.8 million in the acquisition as of the beginning of the
            period. The amortization period is 12 years.

        (7)    To record the income tax provision related to the pro forma
            adjustments and PIM's operating results for the period using
            UNIFAB's effective tax rate. Prior to this acquisition, PIM was a
            limited liability company and had elected to be taxed as a
            partnership. Under this election, taxable income or loss is the
            responsibility of the individual owners and is, therefore included
            in their tax returns.

NOTE 3. PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE

Pro forma net income per share is calculated by dividing the pro forma net
income for the period by the average common stock outstanding, which reflects
the exchange described in Note 1, above, and gives effect to the shares issued
in the acquisition described in Note 2, above, as if the shares were issued at
the beginning of the period.
