discussed in such forward-looking statements include risks such as the
dependence on the oil and gas industry, difficulties related to managing growth

ANNEX I


               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


Board of Directors
Galveston Shipbuilding Company


         We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Barge Building
Division of Galveston Shipbuilding Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the related statements of earnings, divisional equity, and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Division'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 audit 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 the Barge Building
Division of Galveston Shipbuilding Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        (Information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1997
                        and March 31, 1998 is unaudited)

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Barge Building Division of Galveston Shipbuilding Company's (the Division)
    business is concentrated in building river-going barges, and the Division
    customarily extends credit to such customers. The Division provides
    construction services from its location along the Intracoastal Waterway in
    Galveston, Texas.

    A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation
    of the accompanying financial statements follows.

    1.   DIVISIONAL EXPENSES

    The financial statements of the Division reflect all of its costs of doing
    business. Cost of revenues reflects actual costs of production, including a
    rental charge for equipment owned by Galveston Shipbuilding Company (the
    Parent) used in the Division's production.

    The Division's financial statements include an allocation, which management
    believes to be reasonable, of general, administrative and selling expenses
    (including payroll and related costs, office rental and supplies and similar
    expenses) which have been allocated to the Division based upon the levels of
    production in each of the Parent's divisions.

    The Division has recorded an interdivisional provision for income taxes
    based upon the tax rate of the Division, calculated on a stand alone basis,
    which has been recorded through a charge to interdivisional equity.

    2.   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

    Management considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible;
    accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. If collection
    of amounts becomes uncertain, an allowance will be established.

    3.   REVENUE COST AND RECOGNITION

    Revenues from lump-sum construction contracts are recognized on the
    percentage-of-completion method, measured by the input hours-to-hours
    method. This method is used because management considers this method to be
    the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

            BARGE BUILDING DIVISION OF GALVESTON SHIPBUILDING COMPANY

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
        (Information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1997
                        and March 31, 1998 is unaudited)
                                 (In thousands)



NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
            CONTINUED

    Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those
    indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor,
    supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. Selling, general, and
    administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for
    estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which
    such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and
    estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty
    provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs
    and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are
    determined.

    The asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
    uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts
    billed. The liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings
    on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues
    recognized.

    4.  INVENTORIES

    Inventories consist of raw materials, repair parts and assets under
    construction but not under contract. Inventories are valued at the lower of
    cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.

    5.   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
    provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
    lives of the assets.

    6.   USE OF ESTIMATES

    In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
    accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
    disclosure 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.

    7.   CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Division considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased
    with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
    The Division maintains a deposit account with a federally insured financial
    institution which at times may exceed the insured amount of $100. The
    Division has not experienced any losses in this account and believes it is
    not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

    8.   INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    Financial information as of March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended
    March 31, 1997 and 1998, included herein, is unaudited. Such information
    includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments),
    which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation
    of the financial information in the interim periods. The results of
    operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
    indicative of the results of the full fiscal year.


 NOTE B - COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON LUMP-SUM CONTRACTS IN
    PROGRESS

    The Division is involved in certain claims and lawsuits occurring in the

    counsel, does not believe the outcome of these actions will have a material
    impact on the financial statements of the Division.

    The Division is subject to extensive and changing federal, state and local
    laws and regulations designed to protect the environment. The Division from
    time to time is involved in administrative and other proceedings under
    environmental laws involving its operations and facilities. Environmental
    laws could impose liability for remediation costs or result in civil or
    criminal penalties in cases of noncompliance. Environmental laws have been
    subject to frequent change; therefore, the Division is unable to predict the
    future costs or other future impact of environmental laws on its operations.

    Eligible employees of the Division participate in a 401(k) deferred savings
    plan (the Plan) as of October 1, 1997. Under the Plan, a participating

ANNEX II.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORM CONSOLIDATED COMBINED
                              FINANCIAL INFORMATION



   
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial information
gives pro forma effect to: (i) the completion of the acquisition of certain
assets of the Barge Building Division of Galveston Shipbuilding Company
("GSC-BBD" or "GSC-BBD Acquisition"), (ii) the completion of the acquisition of
100% of the outstanding capital stock of John Bludworth Marine, Inc. ("JBM" or
"JBM Acquisition"), (iii) the completion of the acquisition of all of the
minority interest of one of its subsidiaries ("Minority Interest Exchange"), and
(iv) the completion of a $90 million 11% Senior Notes Offering (the "Offering"),
as if they had occurred at January 1, 1997 with respect to the unaudited pro
forma consolidated combined statements of operations and as if the GSC-BBD
Acquisition had occurred March 31, 1998 with respect to the unaudited pro forma
consolidated combined balance sheet. This pro forma information should be read
in conjunction with the historical financial statements (including notes
thereto) of GSC-BBD appearing elsewhere herein, and the consolidated historical
financial statements (including notes thereto) of the Company and JBM included
in previous filings of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
    

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the GSC-BBD Acquisition
and the JBM Acquisition on the purchase method of accounting are based on
available financial information and certain estimates and assumptions set forth
in the Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Financial
Statements. The assumptions include the acquisition of GSC-BBD with $5.5 million
in cash available from the Offering, and the acquisition of 100% of the
outstanding capital stock of JBM for $15.0 million in cash and the issuance of a
$4.0 million promissory note. The pro forma adjustments do not reflect any
operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be achievable with respect to
the combined businesses.

   
The following information is not necessarily indicative of the future financial
position or operating results of the combined businesses or the financial
position or operating results of the combined businesses had the JBM
Acquisition, the GSC-BBD Acquisition, the Minority Interest Exchange, and the
Offering occurred on the dates discussed above. For purposes of preparing its
Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company will establish a new basis for
the GSC-BBD assets, based upon the fair values thereof and the Company's
purchase price thereof, including the costs of the GSC-BBD Acquisition. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Financial Information reflects the
Company's best estimates; however, the actual financial position and the results
of operations may differ from the pro forma amounts reflected herein because of
various factors, including, without limitation, access to additional
information, changes in value and changes in operating results between the date
of preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Combined Financial
Information and the date on which the GSC-BBD Acquisition actually closed.

                             FIRST WAVE MARINE, INC.
                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED COMBINED
                              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)


(a)      On May 15, 1998, the Company purchased certain assets, primarily
         property and equipment, of the Barge Building Division of Galveston
         Shipbuilding Company. This adjustment reflects the purchase of the
         assets for $5.5 million in cash, the write-up of the property and
         equipment to appraised value and the reversal of those assets,
         liabilities and equity that were not acquired by the Company.

(b)      On February 2, 1998, the Company completed the offering of $90 million
         of 11% Senior Notes. This adjustment reflects the additional interest
         expense and financing costs amortization that the Company would have
         incurred had the Offering been completed on January 1, 1997.

(c)      To record the decrease in interest expense related to the reduction of
         long-term debt with proceeds of the Offering.

(d)      On February 2, 1998, the Company completed the JBM Acquisition. This
         adjustment reflects the additional depreciation expense related to the
         increase in value of property and equipment, and the additional
         goodwill and other intangibles amortization.

(e)      To record additional depreciation expense related to the increase in
         value of property and equipment acquired in the GSC-BBD Acquisition.

(f)      To reverse the extraordinary item related to the early extinguishment
         of debt that was reflected in 1998 and record it as if it had occurred
         on January 1, 1997.

(g)      To record reduction in income tax expense, resulting from the decrease
         in pro forma earnings resulting from both sets of pro forma
         adjustments. This adjustment was computed using Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standard No. 109.

(h)      Effective December 31, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of
         all of the minority interest of one of its subsidiaries. The minority
         shareholders of that subsidiary received 999,390 shares of the Company.
         This adjustment reflects the reversal of minority interest for 1997.
         The pro forma combined weighted average shares outstanding includes the
         999,390 shares issued in the exchange.
