FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 and 1997

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Michael Baker Corporation and Steen Production Service, Inc.

In our opinion,  the accompanying  balance sheets and the related  statements of
operations, of cash flows and of changes in stockholders' equity present fairly,
in all material respects,  the financial  position of Steen Production  Service,
Inc.  (the  Company)  at  December  31,  1998 and 1997,  and the  results of its
operations  and its cash  flows  for the years  then  ended in  conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles.  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 of these  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards, which 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,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As discussed in Note 13 to the financial  statements,  the Company was purchased
on September 1, 1999 by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Michael Baker Corporation.

STEEN  PRODUCTION  SERVICE,  INC.
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   ORGANIZATION

     Steen Production  Service,  Inc. (Steen or the Company) was incorporated in
     the  state  of  Louisiana  on  September  1,  1960.  The  Company  provides
     supervised  labor to  companies  engaged  in inland  and  offshore  oil and
     drilling activities.

2.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

     On December 31, 1998,  Production Barges,  Inc. (a Subchapter S Corporation
     under common control with Steen) (Barges) was merged into Steen. The merger
     was  accounted  for  similar  to the  pooling-of-interests  method  and all
     financial data for the necessary  periods have been restated to include the
     results of Barges.

3.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     USE OF ESTIMATES
     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 reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during
     the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
     Cash  and  cash  equivalents   include  cash  on  hand  and  highly  liquid
     investments with original maturities of 3 months or less.

     PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.

     Depreciation is computed using the straight-line  method over the estimated
     useful  lives of the assets,  which range from 3 to 10 years.  Expenditures
     for  maintenance  and repairs are  expensed as incurred;  expenditures  for
     renewals  and  improvements  are  generally   capitalized.   Upon  sale  or
     retirement  of  property,   plant  and  equipment,  the  related  cost  and
     accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss
     is recognized.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION
     Revenue is recorded when earned which is based on the work performed.

     INCOME TAXES
     The Company  accounts for certain income and expense items  differently for
     financial  reporting and income tax purposes.  In accordance  with SFAS No.
     109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," deferred tax assets and liabilities are
     determined based on the difference between the financial  statement and tax
     bases of assets and  liabilities  applying  enacted  statutory tax rates in
     effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

STEEN PRODUCTION SERVICE, INC.
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Income for the years ended  December  31, 1998 and 1997  includes  earnings
     from a "C"  Corporation  (Steen)  as well as an "S"  Corporation  (Barges).
     Income tax is provided  for only the earnings of the "C"  Corporation.  The
     earnings of the "S" Corporation are taxed to the individual shareholders.

     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
     The Company's  customer base includes  companies engaged in both inland and
     offshore  producing/drilling  activities.  Although the Company is directly
     affected  by the oil  industry,  management  does not  believe  significant
     credit risk exists at December 31, 1998.

     Three customers represent  approximately 37.7 percent, 12.1 percent and 9.9
     percent of revenues  for the year ended  December  31,  1998.  For the year
     ended  December  31,  1997,  one customer  represented  approximately  22.5
     percent of revenues. Additionally, these customers represented 41.1 percent
     and  18.5   percent  of   receivables   at  December  31,  1998  and  1997,
     respectively.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     The fair value of cash, investments,  receivables,  payables and short-term
     borrowings  approximate  carrying  amounts due to the short  maturities  of
     these instruments.

4.   INVESTMENTS

     The following  securities  have been  classified as available for sale. The
     carrying  amount of securities  available for sale and their estimated fair
     value at December 31, 1998 and 1997, were as follows:

STEEN PRODUCTION SERVICE, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   GENERAL

     The balance sheet as of June 30, 1999,  the statement of operations for the
     six-month  periods  ended  June 30,  1999 and  1998,  and the  consolidated
     statement of cash flows for the  six-month  periods ended June 30, 1999 and
     1998,  have been prepared by the Company  without audit.  In the opinion of
     management,  all  normal and  recurring  adjustments  necessary  to present
     fairly  the  financial  position  at  June  30,  1999  and the  results  of
     operations  and changes in cash flows for the periods  presented  have been
     made.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles have been condensed or omitted.  This information should be read
     in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year
     ended  December 31, 1998.  The results of operations  for the periods ended
     June 30,  1999 and 1998 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  operating
     results for the full year.

2.   ORGANIZATION

     Steen Production  Service,  Inc. (Steen or the Company) was incorporated in
     the  state  of  Louisiana  on  September  1,  1960.  The  Company  provides
     supervised  labor to  companies  engaged  in inland  and  offshore  oil and
     drilling activities.

3.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On September 1, 1999,  Steen was purchased by a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
     Michael Baker  Corporation.  These financial  statements do not reflect any
     adjustments related to this acquisition.

4.   LONG-TERM DEBT

     During June 1999, the Company's revolving  line-of-credit due June 30, 1999
     was renewed with substantially the same terms and is now due June 30, 2000.

5.   INCOME TAXES

     Prior to 1999,  the Company  accounted for certain income and expense items
     differently for financial reporting and income tax purposes.  In accordance
     with SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting for Income Taxes,"  deferred tax assets and
     liabilities were determined  based on the difference  between the financial
     statement  and  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  applying  enacted
     statutory  tax rates in effect for the year in which the  differences  were
     expected to reverse.

     Effective  January 1, 1999, the Company  elected  Subchapter S status under
     the  Internal  Revenue  Code.  As such,  the Company will not be subject to
     federal  and most state  income  taxes,  and the  effects of the  Company's
     transactions  will  accrue  directly  to  the  Company's  shareholders.  In
     connection  with the  Subchapter S election,  the tax provision at June 30,
     1999  represents a reversal of all the deferred tax assets and  liabilities
     existing as of January 1, 1999.

MICHAEL BAKER CORPORATION AND STEEN PRODUCTION SERVICE, INC.
NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
AS OF JUNE 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Certain  Steen line items have been  reclassified  to conform  with Baker's
     historical balance sheet presentation.

2.   These  adjustments  account for the  recording  of deferred  tax assets and
     liabilities  based on Steen's  temporary  differences  between book and tax
     asset and liability balances.

3.   This  adjustment  results  from the net book value of certain  Steen marine
     equipment  being lower than the fair market  value of such  equipment as of
     the acquisition date.

4.   This  adjustment  represents  goodwill  and  the  non-competition  covenant
     resulting from the preliminary allocation of the purchase price.

5.   This adjustment  represents the repayment of certain Steen debt outstanding
     as of the balance sheet date,  and the addition of notes payable within one
     year of the acquisition date to the former shareholders of Steen.

6.   This adjustment  represents the addition of  acquisition-related  long-term
     notes  payable  to  the  former  shareholders  of  Steen,  as  well  as the
     incremental bank borrowings  resulting from (a) cash payments to the former
     shareholders  of Steen,  (b) cash  payments  related  to the  repayment  of
     certain Steen debt  outstanding  as of the balance sheet date, and (c) cash
     payments for legal and accounting services associated with the acquisition.

7.   This adjustment represents the elimination of the common stock and retained
     earnings  balances  existing  on the  books of Steen as of the  acquisition
     date.

MICHAEL BAKER CORPORATION AND STEEN PRODUCTION SERVICE, INC.
NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, AND
 THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Certain  Steen line items have been  reclassified  to conform  with Baker's
     historical income statement presentation.

2.   This  adjustment  represents (a) the  amortization  of the goodwill and the
     non-competition  covenant resulting from the preliminary  allocation of the
     purchase price, (b) additional depreciation expense on assets written up to
     fair  market  value  as a result  of the  acquisition  and (c)  incremental
     benefit costs resulting from the acquisition.

3.   This adjustment  represents interest income that would not have been earned
     by the Company due to reduced cash investments.

4.   This adjustment represents additional interest expense that would have been
     incurred by the Company on the notes payable to the former  shareholders of
     Steen  and  in  borrowing  the  initial  cash   payments   related  to  the
     acquisition.

5.   This  adjustment  represents  the income tax  benefit  associated  with the
     adjustments included in notes 2 through 4 above.

6.   Basic and  diluted  net  income per share  computations  for the year ended
     December  31,  1998  are  based  upon  8,178,067  weighted  average  shares
     outstanding.  For the  six-month  period  ended  June 30,  1999,  basic and
     diluted net income per share  computations are based upon weighted averages
     of 8,170,826 and 8,242,804 shares, respectively.  No additional Baker stock
     was issued as a result of the Steen acquisition.
