             GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                                 (in thousands)


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do
not include all the information in the notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes herein should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation and
Subsidiaries (the Company) and the notes thereto, included in the Company's
Special Financial Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1998.

2.       ALLOCATION OF EQUIPMENT COST

         The Company can have significant fluctuations in equipment utilization
throughout the year. Accordingly, for interim reporting, the Company defers or
accrues fixed equipment costs and amortizes the expenses in proportion to
revenues recognized over the year to better match revenues and expenses.

3.       CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE

         Effective January 1, 1999, the Company made changes in the estimated
useful lives of certain operating equipment to better reflect the remaining
period over which the Company anticipates utilizing this equipment, with normal
repairs and maintenance. This change resulted in depreciation expense for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 being approximately $750 less than it would
have been if the prior useful lives had been used.

4.       ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

         Accounts receivable at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 are as
follows:

10.     SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         Included in the Company's long-term debt is $115 million of 11-1/4%

obligations of the Company under the senior subordinated notes are guaranteed by

cash flows for the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Company's non-guarantor

GENERAL

The Company is the largest provider of dredging services in the United 
States. Dredging generally involves the enhancement or preservation of 
navigability of waterways or the protection of shorelines through the removal 
or replenishment of soil, sand or rock. The U.S. dredging market consists of 
three primary types of work: Capital, Maintenance (including controlled 
disposal dredging) and Beach Nourishment, in which areas the Company has 
experienced a combined bid market share in the U.S. of 52% in 1998. In 
addition, the Company has continued its role as the only U.S. dredging 
contractor with significant international operations, which represented 
approximately 20% of its contract revenues in 1998.

Most dredging contracts are obtained through competitive bidding on terms 
specified by the party inviting the bid. The nature of the specified services 
dictates the types of equipment, material and labor involved, all of which 
affect the cost of performing the contract and the price that dredging 
contractors will bid.

The Company recognizes contract revenues under the percentage-of-completion 
method, based on the Company's engineering estimates of the physical 
percentage completed of each project. Billings on contracts are generally 
submitted after verification with the customers of physical quantities 
completed. Costs of contract revenues are adjusted to reflect the gross 
profit percentage expected to be achieved upon ultimate completion of each 
project. Significant expenditures incurred incidental to major contracts are 
deferred and recognized as costs of contracts based on contract performance 
over the duration of the related project. These expenditures are reported as 
prepaid expenses. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts in progress 
are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Claims for 
additional compensation due the Company are not recognized in contract 
revenues until such claims are settled.

The components of costs of contract revenues are labor, equipment, 
subcontracts, rentals, lease expense, other assets employed (including 
depreciation, insurance, fuel, maintenance and supplies) and project 
overhead. The hourly labor generally is hired on a project basis and laid-off 
upon completion of the project. Costs of contract revenues vary significantly 
depending on the type and location of work performed and assets utilized.

                                       15

<PAGE>

Generally, Capital projects have the lowest costs of contract revenues as a 
percent of contract revenues and Beach Nourishment have the highest.

The Company's cost structure includes significant fixed costs, averaging 
approximately 18% to 20% of total costs of contract revenues. The Company can 
have significant fluctuations in equipment utilization throughout the year. 
Accordingly, for interim reporting, the Company prepays or accrues fixed 
equipment costs and amortizes the expenses in proportion to revenues 
recognized over the year to better match revenues and expenses. Costs of 
contract revenues also include the net gain or loss on dispositions of 
property and equipment.

The Company's equity in earnings of joint ventures relates to the Company's 
50% ownership interest in Amboy and the Company's 17% interest in Riovia. The 
Company accounts for its investments in each of Amboy and Riovia using the 
equity method. The Company conducts certain hopper dredging activities, 
primarily Maintenance and Beach Nourishment projects, through the operations 
of NATCO Limited Partnership ("NATCO") and North American Trailing Company 
("North American"). Minority interests reflects Ballast Nedam Group N.V.'s 
respective 25% and 20% interest in NATCO and North American.

"EBITDA," as provided herein, represents earnings from continuing operations 
before net interest expense, income taxes and depreciation expense and 
excludes equity earnings of joint ventures and minority interests. EBITDA is 
not intended to represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally 
accepted accounting principles. The Company's EBITDA is included as it is a 
basis upon which the Company assesses its financial performance, and certain 
covenants in the Company's borrowing arrangements are tied to similar 
measures. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative 
to net income, cash flows from continuing operations, or other consolidated 
income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles as measures of the Company's profitability or 
liquidity. EBITDA as defined herein may differ from similarly titled measures 
presented by other companies.

</TABLE>

The Company's strong performance for the first quarter of 1999 is the result 
of successful execution of projects, favorable weather conditions and 
increasing backlog margins resulting from the improving domestic market 
during 1998. First quarter revenues of $72.3 million and gross profit of 
$13.2 million were up 27.7% and 52.2%, respectively, from the first quarter 
of 1998.

The growth in revenues and earnings is primarily attributable to capital 
dredging projects. Capital projects include large port deepenings and other 
infrastructure projects. The capital market has been expanding since 1998, 
with the announcement by the Army Corps of Engineers of the scheduling of 18 
new Deep Port projects to be completed over the next seven years. The Corps 
estimates these projects will have an aggregate value in excess of $2.2 
billion. During 1998, approximately $80.0 million of Deep Port work was let 
for bid. The Company was the successful bidder on 64% of this work. In the 
first quarter of 1999, Deep Port projects valued at $106.0 million were let 
for bid. The Company was the successful bidder on 84% of this work. During 
this quarter, contract revenues from capital projects included $8.7 million 
from a deepening and reclamation project in Los Angeles which began work in 
1997, and $4.5 million and $3.8 million from channel deepening projects in 
Boston and Houston, respectively.

Maintenance projects include routine dredging of ports, rivers and channels 
to remove the regular build up of sediment. Revenues from maintenance 
projects for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased $7.3 million 
over the same period of 1998. The increase in maintenance dredging revenues 
is partly attributed to a large project on the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, 
which contributed $4.8 million in revenue and employed the newly-acquired 
hydraulic dredge "Texas".

Beach nourishment projects include rebuilding of shoreline areas which have 
been damaged by storm activity or ongoing erosion. First quarter 1999 
revenues from beach projects were relatively unchanged compared to the first 
quarter of 1998.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, revenues of the Company's NATCO 
hopper dredging subsidiary declined due to lower than historical emergency 
Mississippi River work.

Revenues from foreign operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999, 
declined $4.3 million, or 28.0%, compared to the same period of 1998, due to 
the timing of foreign projects. During the 1999 quarter, the Company 
completed a large project in Copenhagen, which contributed $2.3 million to 
quarterly revenues. The Company also started a joint venture project in 
Egypt, which contributed revenue of $4.1 million during the period. The 
Company is currently low bidder on two significant foreign projects scheduled 
to begin in 2000, and it is anticipated that foreign revenues will continue 
to represent approximately 20% of total revenues in 1999.

BACKLOG

The Company's contract backlog represents management's estimate of the 
revenues which will be realized under the portion of the contracts remaining 
to be performed based upon current estimates. Such estimates are subject to 
fluctuations based upon the amount of material actually dredged, as well as 
factors affecting the time required to complete the job. In addition, because 
substantially all of the Company's backlog relates to government contracts, 
the Company's backlog can be canceled at any time without penalty. However, 
the Company will recover actual committed costs and profit on work performed 
up to the date of cancellation. Consequently, backlog is not necessarily 
indicative of future revenues. The Company's backlog includes only those 
projects for which the customer has provided an executed contract.

As of March 31, 1999, the Company had backlog of $271.0 million, which 
represents an increase of $130.6 million, or 93.0% compared to backlog as of 
March 31, 1998. Domestic capital projects make up $215.7 million or 79.6% of 
the March 31, 1999 backlog, which is an increase of $137.9 million compared 
to March 31, 1998. Significant Deep Port capital projects added to backlog 
during the first quarter of 1999 include a $51.2 million project in 
Charleston, a $14.4 million project in Houston, and a $23.6 million project 
in New York which will employ the newly-constructed backhoe dredge "New York".

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 
1998

CONTRACT REVENUES. Contract revenues increased $15.7 million or 27.7% from 
$56.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $72.3 million for 
the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in 1999 was due primarily 
to contributions from capital dredging projects and favorable weather 
conditions which caused less downtime than experienced during the same period 
of the prior year.

COSTS OF CONTRACT REVENUES. Costs of contract revenues increased $11.1 
million or 23.3%, from $48.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 to $59.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as a result 
of increased revenues. As a percentage of contract revenues, costs of 
contract revenues were 81.7% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 
compared to 84.7% in the same 1998 period. The improvement in costs of 
contract revenues as a percentage of revenues in 1999 was primarily 
attributable to higher margins on capital projects performed during the 
quarter and favorable weather conditions.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $4.5 million or 52.2%, from $8.7 million 
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $13.2 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999. The improvement in 1999 was attributable to the 
increased volume of higher margin work and favorable weather conditions.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses 
remained essentially unchanged from the first quarter 1998 to the first 
quarter 1999.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $4.5 million from $3.8 million 
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $8.3 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999, as a result of the increased volume of higher 
margin work and favorable weather conditions.

EBITDA. EBITDA increased $3.8 million or 50.7%, from $7.4 million for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998 to $11.2 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1999. The increase was primarily due to increased earnings related 
to higher project revenues and margins in 1999.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Net interest expense increased $3.2 million or 276.8%, 
from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $4.4 million 
for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in interest expense 
is primarily related to interest on the additional debt incurred in 
connection with the Company's recapitalization effected in August 1998.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF JOINT VENTURES. Equity in earnings of joint ventures 
declined $0.3 million from a negligible loss for the three months ended March 
31, 1998 to a loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. 
The decrease was primarily attributable to a temporary reduction in demand 
for Amboy's products for the period, combined with commencement of the second 
phase of the Riovia project. The second phase is anticipated to have lower 
revenues and margins than the first phase, which was substantially complete 
by the end of 1998.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense increased $0.5 million from $1.0 
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $1.5 million for the 
three months ended March 31, 1999, due to increased earnings in the first 
quarter of 1999.

MINORITY INTERESTS. Earnings attributable to minority interests decreased 
$0.6 million from $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to a 
loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease 
is due to lower earnings from the NATCO hopper dredging operations during the 
first quarter 1999 as compared to the same period of 1998.

NET INCOME. Net income increased $0.9 million from $1.3 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998 to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 
31, 1999. The increase is a result of improved operating earnings related to 
higher project revenues and margins in the first quarter of 1999, partially 
offset by increased interest expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and 
borrowings under the revolving line of credit with the Company's senior 
lenders. The Company's primary uses of cash are funding working capital, 
capital expenditures and debt service.

The Company generated net cash flows from operating activities for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 of $1.3 million and $2.4 million, 
respectively. The reduction in cash flows from operating activities for the 
first quarter of 1999 was due to an increase in working capital related to 
the normal fluctuations in working capital requirements.

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company changed the accounting estimates 
regarding the useful lives of certain of its operating equipment, which 
reduced depreciation expense for the first quarter of 1999, compared to the 
same period of 1998, by approximately $0.8 million.

The Company's net cash uses for investing activities for the three months 
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, totaled $1.9 million and $2.1 million, 
respectively. Additional funds were used in the first quarter of 1999 to make 
distributions of $1.7 million to minority interests related to 1998 earnings; 
such distributions were made during the fourth quarter of 1997 for 1997 
earnings. Additionally, first quarter 1999 capital expenditures were $1.0 
million greater than during the same period of 1998. The use of cash for 
investing activities in the first quarter of 1999 was offset by distributions 
of $1.9 million received from Riovia and a distribution of earnings from 
Amboy of approximately $0.8 million.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had a 
net cash inflow of $1.0 million and net cash outflow of $1.5 million, 
respectively, related to its borrowings and repayments under its revolving 
credit facilities for the related periods.

Management believes cash flows from operations and available credit will be 
sufficient to finance operations, planned capital expenditures and debt 
service requirements for the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to 
fund its working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, scheduled debt 
payments and to comply with all of the financial covenants under its debt 
agreements, depends on its future operating performance and cash flows, which 
in turn, are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, 
business and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company's control.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Historically, many computer programs have been written using two digits 
rather than four to define the applicable year, which could result in the 
program failing to recognize a year that begins with "20" instead of "19". 
This, in turn, could result in major system failures or miscalculations, and 
is generally referred to as the "Year 2000 issue".

In June 1996, the Company's MIS Department developed a plan to identify and 
address issues related to Year 2000 compliance. The Company's internal 
systems were the primary focus of the plan. At that time, the Company 
compiled an inventory of its internally developed and third party software. 
The Company also evaluated various solutions and techniques for making its 
internally developed databases and programs Year 2000 ready. The Company 
prioritized the tasks taking into account the likelihood of Year 2000 
failure, the impact of Year 2000 failure on 

                                       20

<PAGE>

the business, and the effort required to complete the task. In March 1997, 
senior management of the Company reviewed the tasks and approved the plan.

The Company's Year 2000 Plan contemplated four phases - assessment, 
implementation, testing and release/installation - which overlap to a degree. 
The Company has completed all phases for its most critical systems. The 
Company has continued with the implementation, testing and installation phase 
for its less critical systems and completed the final installation phase for 
most of its non-critical systems. Some non-critical systems are being 
addressed during 1999, and the Company believes such systems are not material 
to its operations.

The Company has also considered and addressed the impact of the Year 2000 on 
other aspects of the Company's operations, such as equipment navigational 
systems.

The Company has received information concerning the Year 2000 status of 
certain critical suppliers and is satisfied such suppliers have remediated 
issues that have the potential to adversely affect the Company.

The Company currently estimates that the total cost of implementing its Year 
2000 Plan, consisting primarily of increased staffing requirements and 
outside consulting services, will not be material. This estimate is based on 
presently available information and will be updated as the Company continues 
its assessment and completes its implementation.

If the Company's computer systems fail with respect to the Year 2000 Issue, 
or if any applications or embedded chips critical to the Company's reporting 
process are overlooked, there could be a material adverse effect on the 
business, results of operations or financial condition of the Company. 
Additionally, there can be no assurance that the systems of other companies 
on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted, or that failure 
to convert by another company would not have material adverse effect on the 
business, results of operations or financial condition of the Company. The 
Company has not yet established a contingency plan in this regard, but 
intends to formulate one to address unavoided or unavoidable risks and 
expects to have the contingency plan formulated by July 1999.

EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments 
and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133), which is effective for all fiscal 
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS 133 requires 
that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the 
statement of financial position and be measured at fair value. SFAS 133 
additionally requires changes in the fair value of derivatives be recorded in 
current earnings or comprehensive income based on the intended use of the 
derivatives. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact on the 
Company's financial position from adoption of SFAS 133.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

A substantial portion of the Company's current operations are conducted 
outside of the U.S. In the first quarter of 1999, 15% of contract revenues 
were attributable to overseas operations. It is the Company's policy to hedge 
foreign currency exchange risk on contracts denominated in currencies other 
than the U.S. dollar, if available. Forward currency exchange contracts, 
typically with durations less than one year, are used to minimize the impact 
of foreign currency fluctuations on operations. The Company does not purchase 
forward exchange contracts for 

                                       21

<PAGE>

trading purposes. At March 31, 1999, the Company had no foreign currency 
hedging contracts outstanding.

A significant operating cost for the Company is diesel fuel. The Company uses 
fuel commodity forward contracts, typically with durations less than one 
year, to reduce the impacts of changing fuel prices on operations. The 
Company does not purchase fuel hedges for trading purposes. At March 31, 
1999, the Company had no fuel hedge contracts outstanding.

Changes in market interest rates from December 31, 1998 do not have a 
significant impact on the fair value of the Company's term and revolving bank 
debt or fixed rate debt at March 31, 1999.

PART II

The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than legal 
proceedings occurring in the normal course of business, which resolution of 
are not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or 
operations of the Company.
