              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1995


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
statement information and with 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.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Such adjustments are of
a normal recurring nature except for a gain resulting from the sale of two
power purchase contracts ($20,047,000, net of tax of $10,565,000) included in
the six months ended September 30, 1995; a loss relating to the reduction of
estimated products liability asbestos claims recoveries from insurers
($14,478,000) included in the three and six months ended September 30, 1994; a
reduction in accrued interest expense ($5,600,000 and $11,300,000,
respectively) due to the settlement of outstanding tax issues included in the
three and six months ended September 30, 1994; and the cumulative effect of the
accounting change for the adoption of Statement of Financial Standards No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" included in the six months
ended September 30, 1994.  Operating results for the three and six months ended
September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended March 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
McDermott Incorporated's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March
31, 1995.

Unless the context otherwise requires, hereinafter, the "Delaware Company" will
be used to mean McDermott Incorporated and its consolidated subsidiaries
(including Babcock & Wilcox Investment Company and its principal subsidiary,
The Babcock & Wilcox Company), and "International" will be used to mean
McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation.  International is the
parent company of the Delaware Company.

NOTE 2 -  PRODUCTS LIABILITY

At September 30, 1995, the estimated liability for pending and future
non-employee products liability asbestos claims was $921,836,000 (of which less
than $240,000,000 had been asserted) and estimated insurance recoveries were
$795,516,000.  Estimated liabilities for pending and future non-employee
products liability asbestos claims are derived from the Delaware Company's
claims history and constitute management's best estimate of such future costs.
Estimated insurance recoveries are based upon analysis of insurers providing
coverage of the estimated liabilities.  Inherent in the estimate of such
liabilities and recoveries are expected trends in claim severity and frequency
and other factors, including recoverability from insurers, which may vary
significantly as claims are filed and settled.  Accordingly, the ultimate loss
may differ materially from amounts provided in the consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE 4 - SALE OF POWER PURCHASE CONTRACTS

During the June 1995 quarter, the Delaware Company's Babcock-Ultrapower West
Enfield and Babcock-Ultrapower Jonesboro 50% owned partnerships sold two power
purchase contracts back to a local utility which had previously entered into
agreements with the partnerships to purchase power, and recognized a gain of
$61,324,000.  The Delaware Company's equity in the earnings of these
partnerships was $25,000 and $32,865,000 (including its share of the gain) for 
the three and six months ended September 30, 1995.

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

GENERAL

During the three and six months ended September 30, 1995, the Delaware
Company's Canadian operations contributed 44% and 46%, respectively, to total
revenues and $4,799,000 and $15,908,000, respectively, to operating income.
The operating income reflects activity on contracts performed at its Cambridge,
Ontario location (which is included in the B&W Operations business unit below),
principally for the supply of replacement recirculating steam generators to
domestic utilities and work for two government owned utilities located in the
Far East.

Beginning with the June 1995 quarter, management's discussion of revenues and
operating income is discussed on a business unit basis as follows: B&W
Operations business unit (includes the operations of the Babcock & Wilcox Power
Generation and Government Groups) and Engineering, Construction and Industrial
Operations business unit (includes the Delaware Company's Engineering and
Construction Group, and Shipbuilding and Industrial Group).  Other business
unit revenues include eliminations between business units.  Other business unit
income (loss) includes certain expenses, primarily employee benefit and
insurance programs, and marketing and legal costs, that are not allocated to
the business units. For the three and six months ended September 30, 1994, 
Other revenues and business unit income (loss) includes the results of the 
marine construction services business that was sold to International on 
January 31, 1995 and other businesses disposed of during fiscal year 1995. 
Prior year information has been reclassified to conform with the September 30,
1995 presentation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 VS. THREE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

B&W Operations' revenues decreased $6,732,000 to $313,280,000 primarily due to
lower revenues from the Power Generation Group's fabrication of fossil fuel
steam and environmental control systems, and industrial boilers in the U.S.
These decreases were partially offset by higher revenues from replacement
nuclear steam generators and Canadian nuclear services.  In addition, the
Government Group's defense and space-related products (other than nuclear fuel
assemblies and reactor components) had higher revenues.

Engineering, Construction and Industrial Operations' revenues decreased
$4,600,000 to $161,208,000 primarily due to lower revenues from the Engineering
and Construction Group's construction, repair and alteration of utility and
industrial boilers in the U.S. and the Shipbuilding and Industrial Group's
shipyard operations.  These decreases were partially offset





                                       12
<PAGE>   13
by higher revenues from the Engineering and Construction Group's maintenance
and engineering activities in Canada.

Other revenues decreased $76,324,000 primarily due to the inclusion in the
prior year of revenues of $90,282,000 related to the marine construction
services business sold to International on January 31, 1995.

B&W Operations' business unit income increased $562,000 to $7,419,000.
Improved margins from the Power Generation Group's fabrication of fossil fuel
steam and environmental control systems were offset by lower volume and margins
from the fabrication of industrial boilers in the U.S.  In addition, there were
higher volume and margins from the Government Group's defense and space-related
products (other than nuclear fuel and reactor components). These were partially
offset by lower volume and margins from nuclear fuel assemblies and reactor
components for the U.S. Government.

Engineering, Construction and Industrial Operations' business unit loss
decreased $718,000 to $9,679,000 primarily due to improved margins from the
Engineering and Construction Group's engineering services in the U.S., and the
Shipbuilding and Industrial Group's shipyard operations.   These decreases were
partially offset by lower volume and margins from the Engineering and
Construction Group's construction, repair and alteration of utility and
industrial boilers in the U.S., including cost overuns on the completion of a
contract for one U.S. customer.

Other business unit loss in the prior period includes income of $4,370,000
related to the marine construction services business sold to International on
January 31, 1995.

B&W Operations' equity in income of investees increased $2,085,000 to income of
$2,042,000 from a loss of $43,000 primarily due to the Power Generation Group's
provision for loss on discontinuing a domestic joint venture in the prior
period.

Other business unit equity in income of investees in the prior period includes
the results of the CMM Mexican joint venture which was not a part of the marine
construction services business sold to International on January 31, 1995.


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

Interest income decreased $628,000 to $1,927,000 primarily due to decreases in
investments in government obligations and other investments.

Interest expense increased $694,000 to $12,134,000 primarily due to a reduction
in accrued interest on proposed tax deficiencies of $5,600,000 that was
recorded in the prior period and  changes in debt obligations and interest
rates prevailing thereon.

Other-net increased $20,730,000 to income of $4,594,000 from expense of
$16,136,000.  This increase was primarily due to a loss of $14,478,000 in the
prior period related to the reduction of estimated products liability asbestos
claim recoveries from insurers, and higher bank fees and discounts on the sale
of certain accounts receivable in the prior period and gains of $3,005,000 on 
the disposal of assets in the current period.

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes decreased $6,714,000 to a benefit
$3,416,000 from a provision of $3,298,000, while loss before the provision for
(benefit from) income taxes decreased $22,950,000 to $14,547,000.  The decrease
in the provision for income taxes is primarily due to the ability to recognize
income tax benefits on losses in the U.S. in the current period which was
limited in the prior period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 VS. SIX MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

B&W Operations' revenues increased $20,245,000 to $630,882,000 primarily due to
higher revenues from the Power Generation Group's contracts on replacement
nuclear steam generators for domestic customers at its Cambridge, Ontario
location, and on plant enhancement projects.  These increases were partially
offset by lower revenues from fabrication of fossil fuel steam and
environmental control systems in the U.S.  In addition, the Government Group's
defense and space-related products (other than nuclear fuel assemblies and
reactor components) had higher revenues.  These were partially offset by lower
revenues from nuclear fuel assemblies and reactor components for the U.S.
Government.

Engineering, Construction and Industrial Operations' revenues decreased
$17,726,000 to $360,390,000 primarily due to lower revenues the Engineering and
Construction Group's construction, repair and alteration of utility and
industrial boilers in the U.S., and from the Shipbuilding and Industrial
Group's shipyard operations.  These decreases were partially offset


                                       14
<PAGE>   15
by higher revenues from the Engineering and Construction Group's maintenance
and construction activities in Canada.

Other revenues decreased $153,257,000 primarily due to the inclusion in the
prior year of revenues of $151,902,000 related to the marine construction
services business sold to International on January 31, 1995.

B&W Operations' business unit income decreased $5,306,000 to $12,087,000
primarily due to lower margins from the Power Generation Group's fabrication of
industrial boilers in the U.S.  This  decrease was partially offset by higher
volume and margins from replacement nuclear steam generators and plant
enhancement projects.  In addition, there was higher volume from the Government
Group's defense and space-related products (other than nuclear fuel assemblies
and reactor components).  This was partially offset by lower volume and margins
from nuclear fuel assemblies and reactor components for the U.S. Government.

Engineering, Construction and Industrial Operations' business unit loss
increased $90,000 to $14,219,000 primarily due to lower volume and margins from
the Engineering and Construction Group's construction, repair and alteration of
utility and industrial boilers in the U.S., including cost overuns on the
completion of a contract for one U.S. customer, mostly offset by improved 
margins from the Shipbuilding and Industrial Group's shipyard operations.

Other business unit loss in the prior period includes income of $3,716,000
related to the marine construction services business sold to International on
January 31, 1995.

B&W Operations' equity in income of investees increased $33,312,000 to
$35,782,000 primarily due to the sale of power purchase contracts back to a
local utility in the current period and a provision for a loss on discontinuing
a domestic joint venture in the prior period.

Other business unit equity in income of investees in the prior period includes
the results of the CMM Mexican joint venture which was not a part of the marine
construction business sold to International on January 31, 1995.

Interest income increased $2,835,000 to $7,848,000 primarily due to increased
investments in government obligations and other investments.


                                       15
<PAGE>   16
Interest expense increased $6,186,000 to $26,974,000 primarily due to changes
in debt obligations and interest rates prevailing thereon, and to a reduction
in accrued interest on proposed tax deficiencies of $11,300,000 that was
recorded in the prior period.

Other-net increased $21,074,000 to income of $1,464,000 from expense of
$19,610,000.  This increase was primarily due to a loss of $14,478,000 related
to the reduction of estimated products liability asbestos claim recoveries from
insurers in the prior period and gains of $3,435,000 on the disposal of assets
in the current period.

The provision for income taxes increased $1,923,000 to $5,954,000, while income
(loss) before the provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of
accounting change increased $47,126,000 to income of $1,364,000 from a loss of
$45,762,000.  The increase in the provision for income taxes is primarily due
to an increase in non U.S. income, partially offset due to the ability to
recognize income tax benefits on losses in the U.S. in the current period which
was limited in the prior period.

Net loss decreased $45,715,000 to $4,590,000 reflecting the cumulative effect
of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," of $512,000 in the
prior year, in addition to the other items mentioned above.

B&W Operations' backlog at September 30, 1995 was $1,890,932,000 compared to
$1,947,226,000 at March 31, 1995.  B&W Operations' foreign markets for
industrial and utility boilers are expected to remain strong as well as the
U.S. market for replacement nuclear steam generators.  Domestic utility markets
remain weak.  At September 30, 1995, this

business unit's backlog with the U.S. Government was $703,943,000 (of which
$105,876,000 had not been funded).  U.S.  Government budget reductions have
negatively affected this business unit's government operations.

1995 was $514,905,000  compared to $619,973,000 at March 31, 1995. The current
competitive economic environment in the U.S. has negatively affected demand for
its construction activities.  At September 30, 1995, this business unit's
backlog with the U.S. Government was $60,074,000 (of which $54,357,000 had not
been funded).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the six months ended September 30, 1995, the Delaware Company's cash and
cash equivalents increased $7,228,000 to $28,242,000 and total debt decreased
$154,805,000 to $565,063,000 primarily through net sales of investments of
$298,802,000.  During this period, the Delaware Company used cash of
$116,440,000 in operating activities, $150,013,000 for the repayment of
long-term debt, $17,292,000 for additions to property, plant and equipment, and
$6,893,000 for cash dividends on the Delaware Company's preferred stocks.  The
increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to a decrease of approximately
$53,000,000 in the amount of qualified accounts receivable sold under the terms
of an agreement with a U.S. bank.

Pursuant to an agreement with a majority of its principal insurers, the
Delaware Company negotiates and settles products liability asbestos claims from
non-employees and bills these amounts to the appropriate insurers.  As a result
of collection delays inherent in this process, reimbursement is usually delayed
for three months or more.  The number of claims had declined moderately since
fiscal year 1990, but have increased during the second half of fiscal year 1995
and the first half of fiscal year 1996.  Management believes, based on
information currently available, that the recent increase represents an
acceleration in the timing of the receipt of these claims, but does not
represent an increase in its total estimated liability.  The average amount of
these claims (historical average of approximately $5,000 per claim over the
last three years) has continued to rise.  Claims paid during the six months
ended September 30, 1995 were $74,112,000, of which $65,891,000 has been
recovered or is due from insurers.  At September 30, 1995, receivables of





                                       17
<PAGE>   18
$51,511,000 were due from insurers for reimbursement of settled claims.
Estimated liabilities for pending and future non-employee products liability
asbestos claims are derived from the Delaware Company's claims history and
constitute management's best estimate of such future costs.  Estimated
insurance recoveries are based upon analysis of insurers providing coverage of
the estimated liabilities.  Inherent in the estimate of such liabilities and
recoveries are expected trends in claim severity and frequency and other
factors, including recoverability from insurers, which may vary significantly
as claims are filed and settled.  Accordingly, the ultimate loss may differ
materially from amounts provided in the consolidated financial statements.
Settlement of the liability is expected to occur over approximately the next 25
years.  The collection delays, and the amount of claims paid for which
insurance recovery is not probable, have not had a material adverse effect upon
the Delaware Company's liquidity, and management believes, based on information
currently available, that they will not have a material adverse effect on
liquidity in the future.

The Delaware Company's expenditures for property, plant and equipment decreased
$25,024,000 to $17,292,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1995 as
compared with  the same period last year (which included expenditures of
approximately $18,496,000 related to the portion of its marine construction
business sold to International), the majority of which were incurred  to
maintain existing facilities.

At September 30 and March 31, 1995, The Babcock & Wilcox Company ("B&W") had
sold, with limited recourse, an undivided interest in a designated pool of
qualified accounts receivable of approximately $122,000,000 and $175,000,000,
respectively, under the terms of an agreement with a U.S. Bank.  The maximum
sales limit available under the agreement was reduced during July 1995 to
$175,000,000.  During November 1995, B&W and the bank amended the agreement to
provide for an annual renewal of the program.

At September 30 and March 31, 1995, the Delaware Company had available to it
various uncommitted short-term lines of credit from banks totalling
$267,010,000 and $227,903,000, respectively. Borrowings by the Delaware Company
against these lines of credit at September 30 and March 31, 1995 were
$120,892,000 and $33,220,000, respectively.  In addition, The Babcock & Wilcox
Company has available to it an unsecured and committed revolving line of credit
facility.  During the quarter ended September 30,


                                       18
<PAGE>   19
1995, the facility was amended to increase the commitment to $150,000,000 and
to extend the agreement to March 31, 1999.  It is a condition to borrowing
under this revolving credit facility that the borrower's tangible net worth,
debt to capitalization, and interest coverage as defined in the agreement meet
or exceed certain covenant requirements. There were no borrowings against this
facility at September 30 or March 31, 1995. Delta Catalytic Corporation had
available from a certain Canadian bank, an unsecured and committed revolving
credit facility of $14,925,000 which expires on May 31, 1997.  At September 30
and March 31, 1995 borrowings outstanding against this facility were
$14,925,000 and $7,420,000, respectively.  In October 1995, Delta Catalytic
Corporation repaid and cancelled this facility and replaced it with two
unsecured and uncommitted short-term line of credit facitlities aggregating
$29,851,000, which are subject to annual renewal.

The Delaware Company maintains an investment portfolio of government
obligations and other investments which is classified as available for sale
under SFAS No. 115.  The fair value of short-term investments at September 30,
1995 was $61,897,000 (amortized cost $62,225,000).

The Delaware Company is restricted, as a result of covenants in certain
agreements, in its ability to transfer funds to International and its
subsidiaries through cash dividends or through unsecured loans or investments.
At September 30, 1995, substantially all of the net assets of the Delaware
Company were subject to such restrictions.  The most restrictive of these
covenants with respect to the payment of dividends by the Delaware Company
would prohibit the payment of dividends other than current dividends on
existing preferred stock.

Effective February 1, 1989, the Delaware Company and a subsidiary of
International, McDermott International Investments Co., Inc. ("MIICO"), entered
into a reverse repurchase agreement whereby either party acting as a "buyer"
would purchase for cash certain U. S. Government obligations owned by the other
party acting as a "seller", and, at the date of purchase, the "seller" would
agree to repurchase the same securities at a set price (including accrued
interest) at a future specified date.  No amounts were outstanding under this
agreement at September 30 or March 31, 1995.





                                       19

The Delaware Company and MIICO are parties to an agreement pursuant to which
the Delaware Company may borrow up to $150,000,000 from MIICO at interest rates
computed at the applicable federal rate determined by the IRS.  There were no
borrowings against this agreement at September 30 or March 31, 1995.

Working capital increased $152,076,000 from a deficit of $21,580,000 at March
31, 1995 to $130,496,000 at September 30, 1995.  During the remainder of fiscal
1996, the Delaware Company expects to obtain funds to meet capital expenditure,
working capital and debt maturity requirements from operating activities, its
short-term investment portfolio, and additional borrowings from existing lines
of credit.  Leasing agreements for equipment, which are short-term in nature,
are not expected to impact the Delaware Company's liquidity nor capital
resources.

The Delaware Company's quarterly dividends of $0.55 per share on the Series A
$2.20 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and $0.65 per share on the Series
B $2.60 Cumulative Preferred Stock were the same in September 1995 and 1994.

The Delaware Company has provided a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
which cannot be realized through carrybacks and future reversals of existing
taxable temporary differences.  Management believes that remaining deferred tax
assets in all other tax jurisdictions are realizable through carrybacks and
future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and, if necessary,
the implementation of tax planning strategies involving sales and
sale/leasebacks of appreciated assets.   A major uncertainty that affects the
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is the possibility of declines in
value of appreciated assets involved in identified tax planning strategies.
This factor has been considered in determining the valuation allowance.
Management will continue to assess the adequacy of the valuation allowance on a
quarterly basis.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.  121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.  SFAS No. 121
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held
and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not


                                       20
<PAGE>   21
be recoverable.  SFAS No. 121 also applies to similar assets that are held for
disposal, except for the assets of a discontinued operation. The Delaware 
Company has not yet finalized its review of the impact of this statement, but
it is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
