INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors of NAPTech, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of NAPTech,  Inc.
and  subsidiary  (the Company) as of March 29, 1996 and March 31, 1995,  and the
related consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity, and cash
flows  for  the  years  then  ended.   These   financial   statements   are  the
responsibility of the Company'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,  such consolidated  financial  statements present fairly, in all
material  respects,  the financial  position of the Company as of March 29, 1996
and March 31, 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the  years  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.

                          NAPTECH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 29, 1996 AND MARCH 31, 1995

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Description of Business - NAPTech,  Inc. (the Company) was  incorporated on
     January  10, 1992 and is engaged in the  business of forming,  fabricating,
     and welding steel and alloy piping,  building  piping  sub-assemblies,  and
     fabricating  engineered  skids and modules  for  customers  throughout  the
     world. The Company also bends pipe and structural steel utilizing induction
     bending  technology.  NAPTech Pressure Systems Corp. (NPSC), a wholly-owned
     subsidiary  of the  Company,  is engaged in the  business of  manufacturing
     seamless steel pressure vessels.

     In March 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (the FASB) issued
     Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121,  "Accounting for the
     Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed
     Of" (the Statement).  The Statement  establishes  accounting  standards for
     long-lived  assets,  certain  identifiable  intangibles,  and  goodwill and
     applies to all entities. The Statement is required to be applied for fiscal
     years  beginning  after  December 15, 1995,  although  earlier  adoption is
     allowed. In the year adopted, the Statement requires that impairment losses
     resulting  from  application  shall be  reported in the period in which the
     recognition  criteria are first applied and met. The Company will apply the
     Statement effective March 30, 1996; however,  management has not determined
     the impact the Statement's application will have on the Company's financial
     statements.

     In  October  1995,  the  FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
     Standards No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation"  (the Second
     Statement).  The Second  Statement  establishes  accounting  standards  for
     establishment  of a fair value based method of accounting  for  stock-based
     compensation  plans.  The Second  Statement  is  required to be applied for
     fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995,  although  earlier adoption
     is allowed. The Company will apply the Second Statement effective March 30,
     1996;  however,  management  has  not  determined  the  impact  the  Second
     Statement's application will have on the Company's financial statements.

     The  accounting  policies  of the  Company  conform to  generally  accepted
     accounting  principles.  The following is a summary of the more significant
     of such policies.

     Basis of Presentation - The accompanying  consolidated financial statements
     have  been  prepared  on a going  concern  basis,  which  contemplates  the
     realization  of assets and the  satisfaction  of  liabilities in the normal
     course of business. As shown in the consolidated financial statements,  the
     Company  incurred a net loss  during the  periods  ended March 29, 1996 and
     March 31, 1995 of  $3,086,242  and  $223,677,  respectively.  The Company's
     ability to continue  as a going  concern is  dependent  upon its ability to
     generate  sufficient  cash flow to meet its  obligations on a timely basis,
     and  ultimately to attain  successful  operations.  Subsequent to March 29,
     1996,  the Company  renegotiated  its line of credit and note  payable to a
     bank (see Note 4) which  allowed  the  Company to reduce the loan  payments
     required  to be made  during  1997.  Management  is of the  opinion  that a
     subsequent  infusion  of  working  capital  and this  renegotiation  of its
     long-term  debt  commitments,  along  with  management's  plans to  improve
     operations and reduce costs as well as to generate  additional  cash during
     1997 will enable the Company to continue as a going concern (see Note 9).

                                      -7-

     Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
     the accounts of the Company and NPSC.  All material  intercompany  accounts
     and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Use of Estimates in Preparing  Financial  Statements - The  preparation  of
     financial  statements  in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles  requires  management  to make  estimates and  assumptions  that
     affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and  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.

     Purchase of Assets - On February 10, 1992,  the Company  purchased  certain
     assets and assumed certain liabilities from Vinson Supply Company (Vinson).
     The  Company  acquired  assets  of  approximately  $5,442,000  and  assumed
     liabilities of approximately  $383,000 in exchange for redeemable preferred
     stock of $1,062,690,  a note payable of $3,800,000,  and $200,000 cash. The
     106,269 shares of redeemable preferred stock ($.01 par value) were recorded
     at its  mandatory  redemption  price of $10.00 per share.  The  liquidating
     preference  of the stock is $10.00 per share plus  accrued  dividends.  The
     stock  had  an  annual  dividend   requirement  of  $1.00  per  share.  The
     acquisition  has been  accounted for by the purchase  method of accounting.
     Accordingly,  the purchase price has been allocated to assets  acquired and
     liabilities  assumed  based  on  their  fair  market  value  on the date of
     acquisition.

     On June 13, 1994,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  with Vinson to
     cancel the  aforementioned  note payable,  redeemable  preferred stock, and
     cumulative redeemable preferred stock dividends (see Note 4).

     Purchase  of  Assets  - On  January  20,  1994,  NPSC  acquired  assets  of
     approximately  $1,222,000 and assumed liabilities of approximately $147,000
     from Pressure  Products  International,  Inc. (PPI) in exchange for cash of
     approximately $143,000 and a contract payable. The Company also granted PPI
     an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00
     per share. This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.

     During fiscal 1995,  the Company  issued 310,000 shares of its common stock
     in exchange for the contract  payable,  and PPI has exercised the option to
     purchase 100,000 shares of common stock for $1.00 per share.

     Fiscal Year - The  Company  uses a 52-53 week fiscal year which ends on the
     Friday  nearest  to March  31,  which  was March 29 in 1996 and March 31 in
     1995.

     Long-term Contracts - Revenues from long-term contracts are recorded on the
     basis  of the  Company's  estimates  of the  percentage  of  completion  of
     individual  contracts.  That portion of the total contract price is accrued
     to  income  that  is in  proportion  to  the  Company's  estimates  of  the
     percentage of completion  based on incurred labor costs to date in relation
     to estimated  total labor costs.  At the time a loss on a contract  becomes
     known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is accrued.

     Inventories - Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost  (determined  on
     the first-in, first-out basis), or market.


                                     -8-

<PAGE>

     Property,  Plant, and Equipment - Property, plant, and equipment are stated
     at cost.  Assets held under capital leases are included with property owned
     (see  Note  3).  Depreciation  and  amortization  are  computed  using  the
     straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated lives of the related
     assets or the related lease terms as follows:

               Machinery                          5-10 years
               Computer and office equipment      3-5 years
               Other                              3-5 years

     Income  Taxes - The Company  utilizes an asset and  liability  approach for
     financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.

     Statements of Cash Flows - The Company considers all short-term investments
     with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications to the 1995 amounts have been
     made to conform to the 1996 classifications.

     Certain  computer and office  equipment  items are recorded  under  capital

4. LINES OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

      Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt  Refinancing - As of March 29, 1996, the
      Company was in violation  of certain debt  covenants on its line of credit
      and note  payable to a bank.  On May 10,  1996,  the Company  renegotiated
      terms and conditions for a new $3,400,000  line of credit and a $3,037,500
      note  payable  to  a  bank  (collectively,   The  Refinanced  Debt)  which
      eliminated  the  violations  as of March 29,  1996.  The  Refinanced  Debt
      contains certain covenants which include  maintaining minimum tangible net
      worth and an established  debt service ratio, and covenants which prohibit
      quarterly losses,  payments of dividends,  acquisitions of treasury stock,
      accelerated  long-term  debt  payments,  mergers  or  acquisitions,  and a
      covenant  which  restricts  capital  expenditures.  On June  30,  1996 and
      through  November 15,  1996,  the Company was in violation of certain loan
      covenants  of The  Refinanced  Debt.  Therefore,  on November 15, 1996 the
      Company   requested  and  obtained  a  waiver  of  all  existing  covenant
      violations through April 14, 1997. Accordingly,  the Company has shown the
      March 29, 1996 line of credit as long-term  debt and the note payable to a
      bank as short-term debt and long-term debt in accordance with the terms of
      The Refinanced Debt.

     Lines of Credit - As of March 29,  1996,  the  Company had a line of credit
     with a bank for  $2,850,000  which was  increased by $550,000 as of May 10,
     1996).  The  line of  credit  is  collateralized  by  accounts  receivable,
     inventory,  and equipment and accrues interest at 2% above the bank's prime
     (8.25% at March 29, 1996) and expires July 31, 1997. Accordingly,  the line
     of credit as of March 29, 1996 is presented as a long-term  obligation.  As
     of  March  31,  1995,  the  Company  had a line of  credit  with a bank for
     $2,500,000.  The line of credit was  collateralized by accounts  eceivable,
     inventory,  and  equipment  and  accrued  interest at 1.6% above the bank's
     prime. As of March 29, 1996 and March 31, 1995, the Company owed $2,850,000
     and $2,500,000, respectively, under these lines of credit.

     The Company  entered into an  agreement  with Vinson dated June 13, 1994 in
     which the Company agreed to pay Vinson $3,000,000 plus $55,000 for accounts
     payable to Vinson,  and Vinson  agreed to cancel the note payable to Vinson
     of  approximately  $3,539,000,  cancel  the  106,269  shares of  redeemable
     preferred  stock,  and cancel the preferred  stock dividend  liability (see
     Note 1). The Company entered into a note payable to a bank in order to fund

     Company  recognized  an  extraordinary  gain  of  $490,625  for  the  early
     retirement of debt and wrote-off the book value  relating to the redeemable

     Since the  interest  rates of the  Company's  line of credit and  long-term
     notes payable approximate the current market rates for comparable financial
     instruments,  the carrying amounts are considered  reasonable  estimates of
     fair value.

                          Independent Auditor's Report
                          ----------------------------



To the Members of
Freeport Properties, L.C.
Clearfield, Utah


We have audited the accompanying Balance Sheet of Freeport  Properties,  L.C. as
of December 31, 1995, and the related  Statements of Income and Members'  Equity
and Cash Flows for the year then  ended.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 Freeport Properties, L.C. as of
December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                           Respectfully submitted,



                                           /s/ Hannis T. Bourgeois & Co.,L.L.P.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------

                                December 31, 1995



Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -

    Nature of Business
    ------------------

    Freeport Properties, L.C. (the Company), a Utah limited liability
    company, was formed on December 20, 1992.  The Company is engaged in
    the rental of a pipe fabrication facility to an affiliated company.


    Recognition of Income
    ---------------------

    The  Company  recognizes  income  on the  accrual  basis of  accounting  for
    financial reporting purposes.

    Accounts Receivable
    -------------------

    Management  believes  that all accounts  receivable as of December 31, 1995,
    were fully  collectible.  Therefore,  no allowance for doubtful accounts was
    recorded.

    Fixed Assets
    ------------

    Fixed  assets  are  carried  at  cost.   Additions  and   improvements   are
    capitalized.  Maintenance  and  repair  expenses  are  charged  to income as
    incurred.  The  cost of  property  sold  or  otherwise  disposed  of and the
    accumulated  depreciation  thereon  are  eliminated  from the property and
    related accumulated  depreciation accounts, and any gain or loss is credited
    or charged to income.  Fixed  assets owned by the Company as of December 31,
    1995 consist of a building valued at $2,000,000 and land valued at $200,000.
    The  building is being  depreciated  over an  estimated  useful life of 31.5
    years.

    Income Taxes
    ------------

    No provision has been made in the accounts for federal or state income taxes
    since the  members  are taxed  individually  on  profits  of the  Company (a
    limited liability company).

    Statement of Cash Flows
    -----------------------

    For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes certificates of deposits
    and all highly liquid debt  instruments  with  maturities of three months or
    less when purchased.







                                        5

    Estimates
    ---------

    The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
    accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management to make estimates and
    assumptions   that  affect  certain   reported   amounts  and   disclosures.
    Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 - Long-Term Debt -

    Long-term debt consists of the following at December 31, 1995:

        Benchmark, Inc.
        ---------------

        Note with interest at 8.5%,  payable in monthly  installments of $17,183
        through 1999 with the remaining principal balance due on January 1,
        2000, secured by land and a building.                    $1,876,416

        Less:  Current Portion                                      (48,564)
                                                                 ----------
                                                                 $1,827,852
                                                                 ==========


    Maturities on long-term portion of debt are as follows:

        December 31, 1997                                        $   52,856
        December 31, 1998                                            57,528
        December 31, 1999                                            62,613
        December 31, 2000 and Thereafter                          1,654,855
                                                                  ---------
                                                                 $1,827,852
                                                                 ==========


    The  Benchmark,  Inc.  note  includes a provision  whereby the Company  will
    receive a retroactive .5% reduction in interest paid if the note is paid off
    on or before December 30, 1997,  resulting in an effective  interest rate of
    8%. Due to the uncertainty concerning future financing  considerations,  the
    Company has not  recognized  any credit for this rebate  provision  in these
    financial statements.

Note 3 - Related Party Transactions -

    During the year ended  December  31,  1995,  the Company  received  rents of
    $408,200 from Naptech,  Inc. and Subsidiary  (Naptech),  a related entity in
    which the Company's  members  collectively  own a controlling  interest.  In
    accordance  with the lease  agreement,  the  Company  maintains  a  security
    deposit of $23,200 payable to Naptech upon the termination of the lease. The
    formal lease term expired on February 28, 1996.  However,  Naptech continued
    to lease the facility on a month-to-month basis through January 27, 1997.
    See Note 4 to these financial statements.

                                                            --------
                                                            $184,026
                                                            ========


    In addition,  during the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company collected
    $10,883 in interest income on funds advanced to Naptech.

    During the year  ended  December  31,  1995,  the  Company  paid  $12,000 in
    management  fees to two of its members  for  administrative  and  accounting
    services.

    At December 31, 1995,  the Company had declared but not yet issued a $20,000
    distribution to one of its members.  This  distribution pay able is included
    as part of accounts payable in these financial statements.

Note 4 - Subsequent Event -

    On January 27, 1997,  the land,  building and long-term  debt of the Company
    was acquired by a wholly-owned  subsidiary of The Shaw Group Inc.  (Shaw) in
    exchange  for  83,333  shares of Shaw  common  stock.  Concurrent  with this
    acquisition, the members agreed to dissolve the Company by January 27, 1998.
    The acquisition, done in connection with the acquisition by Shaw of Naptech,
    Inc. and its subsidiary, was accounted for as a pooling of interest.

     Item 7(b) Pro Forma Financial Information



     INTRODUCTION  TO PRO  FORMA  CONDENSED  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS
     (UNAUDITED)


     The  accompanying  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  consolidated  financial
     statements of The Shaw Group Inc. (the Company) include the following:  (i)
     the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company
     at  November  30,  1996  and  (ii)  the  unaudited   pro  forma   condensed
     consolidated statements of income of the Company for the three months ended
     November 30, 1996 and for the year ended August 31, 1996. The unaudited pro
     forma condensed  consolidated statement of income for the year ended August
     31,  1996  is  presented   giving  effect  to  the  acquisition  (the  Word
     Acquisition) of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of
     Word  Industries  Pipe  Fabricating,  Inc.  and  certain of its  affiliates
     (together,  Word) as described in the Company's  Current Report on Form 8-K
     dated  January 30, 1996,  and the  acquisition  (the APP  Acquisition,  and
     together  with the Word  Acquisition,  the  1996  Acquisitions)  of all the
     outstanding capital stock of Alloy Piping Products,  Inc. and the assets of
     an APP-related entity,  Speedline, a Louisiana partnership (together,  APP)
     as described in the  Company's  Current  Report on Form 8-K dated April 17,
     1996, the sale of 2,398,000  shares of common stock, no par value per share
     (the  Common  Stock)  by  the  Company  (the  public   Offering)  and,  the
     acquisition  (the NAPTech  Acquisition)  of NAPTech,  Inc. and certain real
     estate and improvements from a NAPTech-related entity, Freeport Properties,
     L.C.,  (together,  NAPTech) as described in the Company's Current Report on
     Form 8-K dated  February  11,  1997.  The  unaudited  pro  forma  condensed
     consolidated  statement of income for the three  months ended  November 30,
     1996 is presented giving effect to the NAPTech  Acquisition.  The unaudited
     pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Offering
     and the NAPTech Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
     statement  of  income  assumes  that the  1996  Acquisitions,  the  NAPTech
     Acquisition  and the  Offering  occurred  at  September  1,  1995,  and the
     unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  balance sheet assumes that the
     NAPTech Acquisition and the Offering occurred at November 30, 1996. The pro
     forma  financial  information  reflects  that the  NAPTech  Acquisition  is
     accounted for using the  pooling-of-interests  method of accounting,  while
     the 1996  Acquisitions  were  accounted  for using the  purchase  method of
     accounting.

     The  accompanying  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  consolidated  financial
     statements  of the Company  also include pro forma  condensed  consolidated
     statements of income of the Company for the years ended August 31, 1994 and
     1995,  restated  to  reflect  the  NAPTech  Acquisition  as  a  pooling  of
     interests.   Such  statements  of  income  include   NAPTech=s  results  of
     operations  for  the  years  ended  April  1,  1994  and  March  31,  1995,
     respectively.  The unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated statement of
     income for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996,  combines the  historical
     condensed  consolidated  statements  of income of (i) the  Company  for the
     twelve  months  ended  August 31,  1996,  (ii) APP for the six months ended
     February  29,  1996 (the  period  prior to the date of  acquisition  by the
     Company), (iii) Word for the five months ended January 30, 1996 (the period
     prior to the date of  acquisition  by the Company) and (iv) NAPTech for the
     twelve months ended June 30, 1996.

     The  accompanying  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  consolidated  financial
     statements  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  (i)  the  Consolidated
     Financial  Statements  of the  Company  and  related  notes  filed with the
     Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  August 31, 1996,
     (ii) the Consolidated  Financial Statements  (Unaudited) of the Company and
     related notes included in the Company's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for
     the  quarter  ended  November  30,  1996,  (iii)  the  audited   historical
     consolidated  financial  statements of Word for the year ended December 31,
     1994,  and  related  notes,  and  the  unaudited  historical   consolidated
     financial  statements of Word for the year ended  December 31, 1995,  filed
     with the Company's  Current Report on Form 8-K/A-1 filed on March 29, 1996,
     (iv) the audited historical combined financial

     statements  of APP for the year  ended  July 31,  1995,  and the  unaudited
     historical  combined  financial  statements of APP for the six months ended
     January 31, 1996, and related notes filed with the Company's Current Report
     on Form 8-K/A-1  filed on June 19, 1996,  and (v) the audited  consolidated
     financial  statements of NAPTech for the year ended March 31, 1996 included
     elsewhere herein.

     No provision has been made in the pro forma  financial  statements  for non
     recurring charges directly related to the NAPTech Acquisition. Such charges
     are estimated to be approximately $600,000.

     The following pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative
     of the results that might have occurred had the transactions taken place at
     the  beginning of any of the periods  specified and is not intended to be a
     projection of future results.
