On August 10, 1998, UNIFAB International, Inc. ("UNIFAB") filed a Form 8-K dated
July 24, 1998 containing a description of the acquisition of Allen Tank, Inc.
("Allen Tank"). This Form 8-K/A-1 amends and restates the disclosure in Item 2
and Item 7(a) and 7(b) of the Form 8-K dated July 24, 1998 to include the
audited financial statements of Allen Tank and pro forma financial information.


Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On July 24, 1998 UNIFAB International, Inc. ("UNIFAB") acquired Allen
Tank, Inc. ("Allen Tank") for 819,000 shares of UNIFAB common stock, $400,000 in
cash and notes of $800,000 from Vincent J. Cuevas, Walter L. Hampton, William A.
Hines, Allen C. Porter, Jr. and Joseph G. Weisberger (the "Allen Tank
Shareholders"). The purchase price was determined by arm's length negotiation
between UNIFAB and the Allen Tank Shareholders, all of whom are individuals who
were unrelated to UNIFAB prior to the acquisition. Cash at closing was paid from
available funds. Allen Tank, located in New Iberia, Louisiana on property near
UNIFAB's Port of Iberia facilities, designs and manufactures specialized process
systems, such as oil and gas separation systems, gas dehydration and treatment
systems, and oil dehydration and desalting systems, and other production
equipment related to the development and production of oil and gas reserves.
Allen Tank also provides a full complement of engineering and field
commissioning services related to production systems. The acquisition is to be
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Also on July 24, 1998 UNIFAB acquired
LATOKA Engineering, Ltd. ("LATOKA") from certain of the Allen Tank Shareholders
for 79,000 shares of UNIFAB common stock. LATOKA, headquartered in London,
England, provides engineering and project management services primarily in
Europe and the Middle East.

         The signing of the letter of intent and the completion of the
acquisition were announced in the press releases, dated May 5, 1998 and July 27,
1998, respectively. Additional information relating to the acquisitions is set
forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger relating to the Allen Tank acquisition
and the Agreement and Plan of Merger relating to the LATOKA acquisition. A copy
of each of there documents was filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K dated July
24, 1998.

The Board of Directors
ALLEN TANK, INC.

                          Independent Auditor's Report

         We have audited the balance sheets of ALLEN TANK, INC. as of December
27, 1997 and December 28, 1996, and the related statements of income, retained
earnings (operating deficit), and cash flows for the fifty-two week periods then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ALLEN TANK, INC. as
of December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                         For the Fifty-Two Week Periods
                  Ended December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996


NOTE A

         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Company's Operations

                  The Company was incorporated January 28, 1988 and in February
         1988 purchased certain property, plant and equipment from
         Maloney-Crawford, Inc. for $3,100,000. In March 1988, the Company
         commenced operations as a fabricator of oil and gas production
         equipment. The Company grants credit to its customers, who are located
         worldwide.

         Depreciation

                  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
         estimated useful lives of 19 to 39 years for buildings and leasehold
         improvements, 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment and 5 to 12
         years for furniture, fixtures and other. Depreciation charged to
         operations amounted to $530,920 and $508,976 for the periods ended
         December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996, respectively.

         Inventories

                  Inventories consist principally of raw materials and
         equipment, which are carried at the lower of cost, specific
         identification, or market, and work-in-progress which is accounted for
         by the percentage-of-completion method based on direct labor hours
         incurred in providing the services required under the contract.

         Income Taxes

                  The Company is an S Corporation for Federal income tax
         purposes. Under this election, taxable income or loss of the Company is
         included in the stockholders' tax returns. Effective for 1991, the
         state of Louisiana also recognizes S Corporation status. Consequently,
         for state income tax purposes, the net operating loss carryforwards of
         approximately $1,515,225 are suspended and will be available in the
         event the Company revokes its S Corporation status.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents

                  For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company
         considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of
         three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTE A

         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         Accounts Receivable

                  Uncollectible accounts receivable are charged directly against
         earnings when they are determined to be uncollectible. Use of this
         method does not result in a material difference from the valuation
         method required by generally accepted accounting principles.

                  At December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996, accounts
         receivable included unbilled amounts of $424,208 and $192,688,
         respectively.

         Non-Direct Response Advertising

                  The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
         Advertising expense charged to operations totaled $31,830 and $33,909
         for the periods ended December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996,
         respectively.

         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 reported amounts of assets
         and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
         the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
         revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
         differ from those estimates.

NOTE B

         RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

                  During the periods ended December 27, 1997 and December 28,
         1996, the Company had sales to affiliated companies of approximately
         $557,116 and $267,119, respectively. Transactions with affiliates and
         shareholders also included the borrowing and lending of funds and
         certain administrative services provided by an affiliated company at
         terms determined by management. Interest expense to affiliates and
         shareholders for the periods ended December 27, 1997 and December 28,
         1996 was $922,981 and $939,753, respectively.

NOTE C

         COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

                  The Company leases the land used in its operations under an
         operating lease with future minimum lease payments at December 27, 1997
         as follows: 1998 - 2006 - $40,478 annually. The lease renewed in 1996
         for ten years and contains one more renewal option for a ten-year
         period at minimum annual lease rates of $40,478. Total rent expense for
         the periods ended December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996 was $60,224
         and $61,077, respectively.

NOTE D

         NOTES PAYABLE

                  The Company has available lines of credit from a bank totaling
         $20,000,000 at December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996. Bank borrowings
         consist of a note payable of $11,300,000 and Letters of Credit of

          PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30,
1998 and the related pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 and for the year ended March 31, 1998 give
effect to the July 24, 1998 acquisition Allen Tank, Inc. ("Allen Tank") under
the pooling of interests method of accounting.

    The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the unaudited June
30, 1998 condensed balance sheet of UNIFAB International, Inc. ("UNIFAB") with
the June 11, 1998 unaudited balance sheet of Allen Tank. The pro forma condensed
combined statements of income combine the unaudited results of operations of
UNIFAB for the three months ended June 30, 1998 with the unaudited results of
operations of Allen Tank for the twelve week period from March 22, 1998 to June
13, 1998; and the audited results of operations of UNIFAB for the year ended
March 31, 1998 (UNIFAB's fiscal year end) with the audited results of operations
of Allen Tank for the fifty-two week period ended December 27, 1997 (Allen
Tank's fiscal year end), respectively. The pro forma condensed combined
financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of UNIFAB
and Allen Tank, 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 June
30, 1998 for the pro forma balance sheet. The pro forma condensed combined
statement of income for the year ended March 31, 1998 assumes the acquisition
was effected April 1, 1997. The pro forma condensed combined statement of income
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 assumes the acquisition was effected
April 1, 1998.

    The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and notes thereto of UNIFAB and Allen Tank,
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.

     NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30,
1998 and the related pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 and for the year ended March 31, 1998 give
effect to the July 24, 1998 acquisition Allen Tank, Inc. ("Allen Tank") under
the pooling of interests method of accounting.

    The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the unaudited June
30, 1998 condensed balance sheet of UNIFAB International, Inc. ("UNIFAB") with
the June 11, 1998 unaudited balance sheet of Allen Tank. The pro forma condensed
combined statements of income combine the unaudited results of operations of
UNIFAB for the three months ended June 30, 1998 with the unaudited results of
operations of Allen Tank for the twelve week period from March 22, 1998 to June
13, 1998; and the audited results of operations of UNIFAB for the year ended
March 31, 1998 (UNIFAB's fiscal year end) with the audited results of operations
of Allen Tank for the fifty-two week period ended December 27, 1997, (Allen
Tank's fiscal year end), respectively. The pro forma condensed combined
financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of UNIFAB
and Allen Tank, giving effect to the assumptions and adjustments in the
accompanying notes to the pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION OF ALLEN TANK, INC.

         On June 24, 1998 UNIFAB acquired Allen Tank for 819,000 shares of
UNIFAB common stock, $400,000 in cash and notes of $800,000 from Vincent J.
Cuevas, Walter L. Hampton, William A. Hines, Allen C. Porter, Jr. and Joseph G.
Weisberger (the "Allen Tank Shareholders"). Allen Tank, located in New Iberia,
Louisiana on property near UNIFAB's Port of Iberia facilities, designs and
manufactures specialized process systems, such as oil and gas separation
systems, gas dehydration and treatment systems, and oil dehydration and
desalting systems, and other production equipment related to the development and
production of oil and gas reserves. Allen Tank also provides a full complement
of engineering and field commissioning services related to production systems.

    The pro forma adjustments to record the acquisition of Allen Tank are as
follows:

       (1)      To give effect to the issuance of 819,000 shares of UNIFAB
            International, Inc. Common Stock, $400,000 in cash and $800,000
            notes in exchange for 1,000 shares of Allen Tank Stock. The cash
            paid and note results in a reduction of cash of $400,000, an
            increase of $400,000 notes payable, an increase of $400,000 other
            noncurrent liabilities and a reduction of equity of $1,200,000.

       (2)      To conform accounting policies regarding executive bonuses which
            have been accrued annually in Allen Tank historical financial
            statements but are accrued quarterly by UNIFAB. To conform Allen
            Tank's historical amounts to UNIFAB's policy, general and
            administrative expenses have been increased by $141,800 for the
            three-month period ended June 30, 1998. Income tax expense has been
            decreased by $49,645 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998,
            to reflect the tax effect of the adjustment.

       (3)      Allen Tank operated as an S Corporation prior to the 
            acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, the S Corporation
            status terminated and the undistributed earnings of Allen Tank
            will be treated as a distribution to the shareholders and
            concurrent contribution of capital to the combined entity. Prior to

            the acquisition Allen Tank agreed to distribute to its shareholders
            on or before April 1, 1999 an amount approximately equal to the
            taxes payable by the shareholders with respect to such earnings.
            Additionally, to reflect the effect of the termination of the S
            Corporation status as if Allen Tank had been a C Corporation, tax
            expense has been increased $522,120 for the year ended March 31,
            1998, and $436,258 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998.
            The deferred income tax asset and liability accounts have been
            increased at June 30, 1998 by $220,235 and $742,355, respectively,
            as a result of the S Corporation status termination.

       (4)      No provision has been reflected in the unaudited pro forma 
            condensed combined financial information for direct expenses related
            to the Merger, which are expected to approximate $500,000.

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 adjusted weighted average shares
         outstanding for the period, which 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.
