             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                   FOR THE THREE MONTH AND SIX MONTH PERIODS
                          ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
                                        
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. ("Gulf Island"), located in Houma, Louisiana,
is a leading fabricator of offshore drilling and production platforms and other
specialized structures used in the development and production of offshore oil
and gas reserves. The Company also offers offshore interconnect pipe hook-up,
inshore marine construction, and steel warehousing and sales. With the
acquisition of Southport, Inc., effective January 1, 1998, the Company also
provides the fabrication of living quarters for offshore platforms for the oil
and gas industry.  Gulf Island's principal markets are concentrated in the
offshore regions of the Gulf of Mexico. The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Gulf Island and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively "the Company").  All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
shares of Southport, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Southport
International, Inc. (collectively "Southport"). Southport specializes in the
fabrication of living quarters for offshore platforms.  The purchase price was
$6.0 million cash, plus contingent payments of up to an additional $5.0 million
based on Southport's net income over a four-year period ending December 31,
2001. The purchase price plus $130,000 of direct expenses exceeded the fair
value of the assets acquired of $12.3 million and liabilities assumed of $10.3
million with the acquisition being accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.  Goodwill of $4.1 million is being amortized over 15 years on a
straight-line basis.  Accordingly, the operations of Southport are included in
the Company's consolidated operations from January 1, 1998.

     The information presented at June 30, 1998 and for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, is unaudited.  In the opinion of the
Company's management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company
considers necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial
position at June 30, 1998 and the results of its operations for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, and its cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.

     In the opinion of management, the financial statements included herein 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. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included

NOTE 2-- ACQUISITION OF SOUTHPORT, INC.

     The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of

NOTE 3-- PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA

     On April 4, 1997, the Company's shareholders elected to terminate the
Company's status as an S Corporation, and the Company became subject to federal
and state income taxes. The 1997 periods reflect an expense of $1,144,000
related to the cumulative deferred income taxes resulting form the conversion to
a C Corporation on April 4, 1997.  The pro forma income statement presentation
reflects income taxes related to operations as an S Corporation as if the
Company had been subject to federal and state income taxes since January 1, 1997
using an assumed effective tax rate of approximately 38%. Further, the pro forma
weighted-average share calculations for 1997 include the assumed issuance of
additional shares sufficient to pay the distributions made to shareholders in
connection with the Company's Initial Public Offering, to the extent such
distributions exceeded net income for the year ended December 31, 1996.

NOTE 4 -- STOCK SPLIT

     On October 6, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a two-for-
one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend that became effective
on October 28, 1997 to shareholders of record on October 21, 1997. All share and
per share data included in the financial statements prior to the stock split
have been restated to reflect the stock split.

NOTE 5 -- CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is one of four defendants in a lawsuit in which the plaintiff
claims that the Company improperly installed certain attachments to a jacket
that it had fabricated for the plaintiff.  The plaintiff, which has recovered
most of its out-of-pocket losses from its insurer, seeks to recover the
remainder of its claimed out-of-pocket losses (approximately $1 million) and
approximately $63 million for punitive damages and for economic losses which it
alleges resulted from the delay in oil and gas production that was caused by
these events.  The Company is vigorously contesting the plaintiff's claims and,
based on the Company's analysis of those claims, the Company's defenses thereto,
and the Court's rulings received to date, the Company believes that its
liability for such claims, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.  In view of the
uncertainties inherent in litigation, however, no assurance can be given as to
the ultimate outcome of such claims.

     The Company is subject to claims arising through the normal conduct of its
business.  While the ultimate outcome of such claims cannot be determined,
management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Southport, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Southport
International, Inc. (collectively, "Southport").  The acquisition is being
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the
operations of Southport are included in the Company's consolidated operations
starting January 1, 1998.  The Statement of Income included in the unaudited
financial statements presents the consolidated results of operations of the
Company for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to the
results of operations of the Company for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 1997, without giving effect to the Southport acquisition.

     The Company's revenue for the three month and six month periods ended June
30, 1998 was $50.6 million and $97.6 million, an increase of 44.6% and 49.5%,
respectively, compared to $35.0 million and $65.2 million in revenue for the
three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1997.  Revenue increased as a
result of the Southport Acquisition, the on-going labor recruiting and retention
efforts by the Company which generated an increase in the volume of direct labor
hours applied to contracts, and the implementation of productivity enhancing
equipment for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
compared to the same periods in 1997.

     The increased employment levels and the utilization of labor saving
equipment enabled the Company to increase volume and improve profit margins and
generate a gross profit of $9.8 million (19.3% of revenue) and $18.1 million
(18.5% of revenue) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, compared to the $6.4 million (18.3% of revenue) and $11.3 million
(17.3% of revenue) of gross profit for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1997.

     The Company's general and administrative expenses were $1.5 million for the
three month period ended June 30, 1998 and $3.1 million for the six month period
ended June 30, 1998.  This compares to $1.1 million for the three month period
ended June 30, 1997 and $2.1 million for the six month period ended June 30,
1997.  These increases of $400,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, were caused
by additional general and administrative costs associated with the operating
activities of Southport, additional costs associated with increased production
levels and public company reporting requirements.

     The Company had net interest income of $7,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 and $32,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to
net interest expense of $39,000 and $275,000 for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1997.  The Company completed its Initial Public Offering in April
1997 and used the proceeds to eliminate all of its outstanding bank debt and
provide working capital to the Company.  Since that time, the Company's cash
provided by operations has increased to a level which has allowed the Company to
make capital expenditures and acquisitions with little or no debt.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     The Company converted from S Corporation to C Corporation status on April
4, 1997. Pro forma income taxes and pro forma net income give effect to federal
and state income taxes as if the Company had been taxed as a C Corporation
during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     Historically the Company has funded its business activities through funds
generated from operations and borrowings under its bank credit facility.  Net
cash provided by operations was $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998 with working capital remaining stable at $17.9 million. Net cash used in
investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $11.6 million,
of which $5.9 million related to the purchase of Southport and $5.6 million
related to capital expenditures made during the period.  Approximately 50% of
the Company's capital expenditures were for improvements to its production
facilities and for equipment designed to increase the capacity of its facilities
and the productivity of its labor force.  The remaining 50% was for the purchase
of two new Manitowoc cranes which replace two cranes previously rented.

     Net cash used in financing activities was $2.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. The Company received $288,000 from the proceeds of
exercised stock options and made $2.6 million net payments on the Company's Bank
Credit Facility.

     The Company's Bank Credit Facility currently provides for a revolving line
of credit (the "Revolver") of up to $20.0 million which bears interest equal to,
at the Company's option, the prime lending rate established by Citibank, N.A. or
LIBOR plus 1 1/2%.  The Revolver matures December 31, 1999 and is secured by a
mortgage on the Company's real estate, equipment and fixtures, and by the stock
of its subsidiary, Dolphin Services, Inc.  As additional security, the Company
has caused Dolphin Services Inc. to guarantee the Company's obligations under
the Revolver.  At June 30, 1998 the Company had no outstanding borrowings under
the credit facility.

     Capital expenditures for the remaining six months of 1998 are estimated to
be approximately $10.0 million, including the purchase of three additional new
Manitowoc crawler cranes, improvements to the west yard fabrication area and
various other fabrication equipment purchases and facility expansions.
Management believes that its available funds, cash generated by operating
activities and funds available under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund
these capital expenditures and its working capital needs.  However, the Company
may expand its operations through future acquisitions that may require
additional equity or debt financing.


GENERAL

     The Company has developed a plan to modify its information technology to
recognize the year 2000.  The Company has committed to purchase software and
upgrade its hardware to address the year 2000.  The project is to be
substantially complete and operational by late 1998 and is expected to cost
approximately $77,000.  Management does not expect this project to have a
significant effect on the Company's operations.  The Company is currently
evaluating its position with significant suppliers and large customers to ensure
that those parties have appropriate plans to address year 2000 issues where they
may otherwise impact the operations 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
of the Company. The Company does not have any significant suppliers or large
customers that directly interface with the Company's information technology
systems. There is no guarantee that the systems of the Company's suppliers and
customers will be 2000 compliant and that such non-compliance will not have an
adverse effect on the Company.
