SEABULK TRANSMARINE PARTNERSHIP, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1998
1. Organization and Description of Business
Organization. Seabulk Transmarine Partnership, Ltd. ("STPL" or the
"Partnership"), a Florida limited partnership, was formed on August 30, 1985
pursuant to a partnership agreement (the "Agreement"), to own and operate a
chemical transportation carrier, the Seabulk America. The general partner of the
Partnership is Seabulk Tankers, Ltd. ("STL"), a Florida limited partnership
(which owns a 33% interest in the Partnership), and the limited partners (and
their respective interests in the Partnership) are STL (0.33%), Seabulk America
Partnership, Ltd. ("SAPL"), a Florida limited partnership (41.67%), and Stolt
Tankers (U.S.A) Inc. (25%). STL and SAPL are 100%- and 82%-owned subsidiaries,
respectively, of Hvide Marine Incorporated ("HMI").
Description of Business. The Seabulk America is used to transport
chemicals, primarily from chemical manufacturing plants and storage facilities
along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico coast to industrial users in and around Atlantic
and Pacific coast ports. The Partnership time charters the Seabulk America to
Ocean Specialty Tankers Corp. ("OSTC"), which is 100% owned by HMI.
2. Partnership Agreement
The general partner is responsible for the management of the
Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the general partner and the limited
partners (collectively referred to as the "Partners") are required to make
capital contributions at such times and in such amounts as the general partner
requests by notice. No additional capital contributions have been required for
1996, 1997 or the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The Partners are not
entitled to withdraw any part of the capital account or to receive any
distribution from the Partnership except as specifically provided in the
Agreement. All net income or net losses of the Partnership are allocated to the
capital accounts in proportion to the partnership interests. The Partnership
terminates on August 30, 2010, unless sooner terminated, liquidated or dissolved
by law or pursuant to the Agreement or unless extended by amendment to the
Agreement.
3. Transactions with Affiliates
Balances due (to) from affiliates consist of the following (in
thousands):
December 31, September 30,
------------ -------------
1997 1998
Due to HMI $ (33,212) $ (32,658)
Due from STL 338 338
Due from OSTC 1,062 1,687
Other, net 35 35
----------- ------------
Total due to affiliates $ (31,777) $ (30,598)
=========== ============
The amount payable to HMI reflects various transactions between the
Partnership and HMI. There are no terms of settlement associated with the
account balance. The balance is primarily the result of the Partnership's
participation in HMI's central cash management program, in which substantially
all the Partnership's cash receipts are remitted to HMI and substantially all
cash disbursements are funded by HMI. Other transactions include miscellaneous
other administrative expenses incurred by HMI on behalf of the Partnership.
HMI provides various administrative services to the Partnership,
including legal assistance and technical expertise on ship management and
maintenance. It is HMI's policy to charge these expenses and all other central
operating costs on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the
remainder allocated pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Amounts charged by
HMI include a monthly management fee, as set forth in the Agreement, which is
adjusted annually based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. HMI also charges
interest based on the amount due to HMI. In the opinion of the Partnership's
management, this method of allocation is reasonable.
An analysis of transactions in the Due to HMI account for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 follows (in thousands):
Balance at beginning of year $(33,212)
Net cash remitted to (received from) HMI 7,870
Allocated management fees (413)
Allocated guarantee fee (12)
Allocated interest expense (1,584)
Operating expenses (3,367)
Professional fees (1,139)
Miscellaneous administrative expenses (801)
------
Balance at end of year $(32,658)
=========
Average balance during the year $(32,970)
At September 30, 1998, the Partnership had a stand-by letter of credit
in the amount of $5,600,000 available for the benefit of the Partnership
provided by HMI (the "Letter of Credit"). The Letter of Credit was terminated in
December 1998 (see Note 7). Included in the accompanying statements of
operations are guarantee fees primarily related to the Letter of Credit.
4. Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others
In February 1998, HMI completed an offering of $300.0 million of 8.375%
senior notes (the "Senior Notes"). Interest on the Senior Notes is payable
semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15. The Senior Notes mature
on February 15, 2008 and are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of
HMI on or after February 15, 2003. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the
Partnership and certain other HMI subsidiaries; however, the Partnership's
guarantee is limited to HMI's approximately 67% economic ownership interest in
the Partnership.
HMI's credit facility with a group of banks (the "Credit Facility")
provides for revolving credit loans aggregating up to $175 million, subject to
certain conditions. The Credit Facility also provides for a term loan in the
amount of $150 million. The Credit Facility provides that borrowings thereunder
will be secured by HMI-owned vessels, including the Seabulk America, having an
appraised value of at least $600.0 million and by substantially all other assets
of HMI and its subsidiaries. The revolving and term loan portions mature on
February 12, 2003 and March 31, 2005 respectively. At September 30, 1998, HMI's
outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit portion of the Credit
Facility was approximately $121 million, and approximately $139 million was
outstanding under the term loan portion of the Credit Facility. The Partnership
and certain other subsidiaries of HMI also jointly and severally guarantee the
repayment of HMI's indebtedness under the Credit Facility; however, the
Partnership's guarantee is limited to HMI's 67% ownership interest in the
Seabulk America.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
In 1990, the Partnership withheld approximately $2,400,000 from a
shipyard relating to delays and other problems encountered in the construction
of the Partnership's vessel. In 1993, the shipyard filed a claim to recover
approximately $6,100,000 for additional construction costs allegedly due the
shipyard. The proceeding was settled in the fourth quarter of 1998. Under the
terms of the settlement, all claims were dismissed with prejudice in
consideration of the payment to the shipyard of $4,750,000 in installments from
December 1998 to May 1999. As part of the settlement, a $5,600,000 bond
previously provided by HMI was released and a related letter of credit provided
as collateral to the bond was terminated.
6. Income Taxes
The Partnership has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
that it will be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements
of the Partnership. Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the
income tax returns of the Partners.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with
the condensed financial statements and the related notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Report.
The MD&A contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than
statements of historical fact, included in the MD&A are forward-looking
statements. Although the Partnership believes that the expectations and beliefs
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no
assurance that they will prove correct.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 1998 compared with the three months
ended September 30, 1997
Revenue. Revenue increased 7.7% to $2.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 from $2.5 million for the three months ended September
30, 1997 due to an increased charter rate in the Partnership's time charter on
the Seabulk America.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased 16.1% to $1.0 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $1.2 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 primarily due to cost savings on
insurance premiums and other miscellaneous expenses such as travel,
communications, training and inspection fees. As a percentage of revenue,
operating expenses decreased to 38.4% for the three months ended September 30,
1998 from 49.3% in the 1997 period due to the increased charter rate of the
Seabulk America and the reduction in costs.
Overhead Expenses. Overhead expenses increased 21.5% to $0.8 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $0.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, primarily due to an increase in fees related to
litigation. As a percentage of revenues, overhead expenses increased to 28.9%
for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from 25.6% for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 due to this increase in fees.
Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense remained relatively flat for
the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared with the 1997 period due
to minimal amounts of new capital expenditures.
Income from Operations. Income from operations increased 93.6% to $0.5
million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $0.3 million the
three months ended September 30, 1997 as a result of the factors noted above.
Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense increased 153.1% to $0.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $0.2 million for the
1997 period, primarily as a result of an increase in the interest rate charged
on a higher intercompany balance with HMI.
Net Income. The Partnership had a net loss of $61,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to net income of $35,000 for the
1997 period, primarily as a result of the factors noted above.
Nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared with the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.
Revenue. Revenue decreased 1.3% to $7.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 from $7.8 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 due to an increased charter rate in the Partnership's time charter on
the Seabulk America.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased 4.5% to $3.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $3.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 primarily due to cost savings on insurance
premiums and other miscellaneous expenses such as travel, communications,
training and inspection fees. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses
decreased to 42.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 45.3% in
the 1997 period due to the increased charter rate of the Seabulk America and
cost savings.
Overhead Expenses. Overhead expenses decreased 23.4% to $1.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $2.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, primarily due to a decrease in fees related to
litigation. As a percentage of revenues, overhead expenses decreased to 22.2%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 29.3% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 due to this reduction in fees.
Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense remained relatively flat for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared with the 1997 period due to
minimal amounts of new capital expenditures.
Income from Operations. Income from operations increased 85.7% to $1.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $0.9 million the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 as a result of the factors noted above.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 4.7% to $1.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $1.1 million for the 1997 period,
primarily as a result of an increase in the interest rate charged on a higher
intercompany balance with the HMI.
Net Income. The Partnership had net income of $104,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to a net loss of $246,000 for the
1997 period, primarily as a result of the factors noted above.
