Items 1. and 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
A. GENERAL
During fiscal year 1995, McDermott International, Inc. contributed
substantially all of its marine construction services business to J. Ray
McDermott, S.A. ("JRM"), a new company incorporated under the laws of the
Republic of Panama in 1994. Also, on January 31, 1995, JRM acquired Offshore
Pipelines, Inc. (the "Merger"). Prior to the Merger with Offshore Pipelines,
Inc. ("OPI"), JRM was a wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott International,
Inc.; as a result of the Merger, JRM is a majority owned subsidiary of
McDermott International, Inc.
McDermott International, Inc. received as consideration for its contribution to
JRM: 3,200,000 shares of JRM Series A $2.25 Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock; $231,000,000 of 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2001; 24,668,297
shares of JRM common stock; and other consideration. OPI investors received
13,867,946 shares of JRM common stock; options to acquire 897,818 shares of JRM
common stock and 458,632 shares of JRM Series B $2.25 Cumulative Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common
stock, common stock options and preferred stock of OPI. During fiscal year
1996, 458,382 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 1,065,193
shares of common stock and the remaining 250 shares were redeemed for cash.
The discussion set forth below under Items 1. and 2., Business and Properties,
describes the business of JRM as currently conducted after the Merger.
Unless the context otherwise requires, hereinafter, "JRM" will be used to mean
J. Ray McDermott, S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries; "International" will
be used to mean McDermott International, Inc., a Panama corporation that is the
parent company of the McDermott group of companies and the majority owner of
JRM; and "McDermott International" will be used to mean the consolidated
enterprise.
JRM, together with its subsidiaries and joint ventures, supplies worldwide
services for the offshore oil and gas exploration and production and
hydrocarbon processing industries, and to other marine construction companies.
Principal activities include the design, engineering, fabrication and
installation of offshore drilling and production platforms and other
specialized structures, modular facilities, marine pipelines and subsea
production systems and onshore construction and maintenance services.
JRM has a continuing program of reviewing joint venture, acquisition and
disposition opportunities.

<PAGE> 6
B. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
JRM's services include the basic and detailed design, engineering, fabrication
and installation of offshore drilling and production platforms and other
specialized structures, modular facilities, marine pipelines, and subsea
production systems. JRM also provides comprehensive project management
services, feasibility studies, engineering services, subsea trenching services,
diving services, and removal, salvage and refurbishment services for offshore
fixed platforms. JRM and its joint ventures operate throughout the world in
all major offshore oil and gas producing regions, including the Gulf of Mexico,
the North Sea, West Africa, South America, the Middle East, India and the Far
East.
JRM conducts operations both directly and through its participation in joint
ventures, some of which it manages and others of which are managed by other
marine construction contractors. Some of JRM's joint ventures are consolidated
for financial reporting purposes while others (including the HeereMac joint
venture and McDermott-ETPM West, Inc., both of which are described below) are
accounted for using the equity method. JRM's joint ventures are largely
financed through their own resources, including, in some cases, stand alone
borrowing arrangements. Historically, JRM has obtained funds from its joint
ventures primarily through chartering arrangements, whereby it charters vessels
to the joint ventures for use in their operations, as well as through
distributions from the joint ventures. While JRM and other parties to the
joint venture arrangements generally must agree on the amount of cash flow to
be distributed, the joint ventures have historically distributed to their
respective owners cash in excess of estimated working capital requirements,
based on the owners' relative ownership percentages.
The HeereMac joint venture was formed with Heerema Offshore Construction Group,
Inc. ("Heerema") in January 1989 and utilizes the specialized, heavy-lift
marine construction vessels which were previously owned by the two parties.
Each party has a 50% interest in the joint venture, and Heerema has
responsibility for its day-to-day operations (although major decisions relating
to the joint venture operations require the approval of JRM). In March 1996,
JRM and Heerema, through their respective subsidiaries, sold to companies
included in the HeereMac joint venture the semi submersible derrick vessels
which they were formerly chartering to the joint venture (JRM's DB 101 and DB
102 and Heerema's Hermod and Balder).
JRM formed its initial joint venture with ETPM S.A., McDermott-ETPM, in April
1989 to provide general marine construction services to the petroleum industry
in West Africa, South America, the Middle East and India and offshore
pipelaying services in the North Sea. With the addition of two new joint
venture operating companies in March 1995, JRM and ETPM S.A. have expanded
their joint venture's operations to include the Far East region and to begin
jointly pursuing subsea contracting work on a worldwide basis. Most of the
operating companies in the McDermott-ETPM joint venture are majority-owned and
controlled by JRM. However, the operations of McDermott-ETPM West, Inc., which
conducts operations in the North Sea, South America and West Africa, are
managed and controlled by ETPM S.A. ETPM S.A. has dedicated all of its marine
construction assets to the joint ventures with JRM, including three combination
derrick- pipelaying vessels and fabrication yards in Sharjah, U.A.E.
2
<PAGE> 7
and Tchengue, Gabon. JRM currently charters 4 combination derrick-pipelaying
vessels and 1 pipelaying vessel to the joint venture and provides the use of
its facilities in Jebel Ali and Ras-al-Khaimah in the U.A.E., Batam Island,
Indonesia and Warri, Nigeria.
JRM participates in numerous other joint ventures (including 49%-owned joint
ventures in Mexico and Malaysia) involving operations in foreign countries that
require majority-ownership by local interests. Through a subsidiary, JRM also
participates in an equally owned joint venture with the Brown & Root Energy
Services unit of Halliburton Company ("Brown & Root"), which was formed in
February 1995 to combine the operations of JRM's Inverness and Brown & Root's
Nigg fabrication facilities in Scotland. In April 1996, JRM and Teleglobe,
Inc., a Canadian telecommunications company ("Teleglobe"), formed a joint
venture, McDermott Submarine Cable Systems Limited, to install and maintain
submarine fiber optic cable. JRM and Teleglobe own 79.4% and 20.6%,
respectively, of the joint venture.
JRM owns or operates 6 fabrication facilities throughout the world. JRM's
principal domestic fabrication yard is located on 1,114 acres of land, under
lease, near Morgan City, Louisiana. JRM also owns or operates fabrication
facilities near Corpus Christi, Texas, near Inverness, Scotland, in Indonesia
on Batam Island, in Jebel Ali, U.A.E. and in Warri, Nigeria. JRM's fabrication
facilities are equipped with a wide variety of heavy-duty construction and
fabrication equipment, including cranes, welding equipment, machine tools and
robotic and other automated equipment, most of which is movable. JRM has the
capability to fabricate a full range of offshore structures, from conventional
jacket-type fixed platform to deepwater platform configurations employing
compliant-tower, tension leg, floating production platform and spar technology.
JRM also fabricates platform deck structures and modular components, including
complete production processing systems, hydrocarbon separation and treatment
systems, pressure and flow control systems and personnel quarters.
Expiration dates, including renewal options, of leases covering land for JRM's
principal operations follow:
Ras-al-Khaimah, U.A.E. Year 1996
Morgan City, Louisiana Years 2000-2033
Jebel Ali, U.A.E. Year 2005
Batam Island, Indonesia Year 2008
Warri, Nigeria Year 2065
JRM expects to renew the lease at Ras-al-Khaimah, U.A.E., which is negotiated
on an annual basis.
JRM owns or, through its ownership interests in joint ventures, has interests
in the largest fleet of marine equipment used in major offshore construction.
The nucleus of a "construction spread" is a large derrick barge, pipelaying
barge or combination derrick-pipelaying barge capable of offshore operations
for an extended period of time in remote locations. JRM owns or, through
ownership interests in joint ventures, has interests in 12 derrick vessels, 6
pipelaying vessels, 11 combination derrick-pipelaying vessels and 3 pipe
burying vessels. The lifting capacities of the derrick and combination
derrick-pipelaying vessels range from 250 to 13,200 tons. These vessels range
in length from 400 to 660 feet and are fully equipped with stiff leg or
revolving cranes, auxiliary cranes, welding equipment, pile- driving hammers,
anchor
3
<PAGE> 8
winches and a variety of additional gear. Some of these vessels hold various
records for heavy lifts and installations of deepwater pipelines in different
regions of the world. The largest vessels are the derrick barge DB 102, which
is one of the world's largest semi submersible derrick vessels in both size and
lifting capacity and provides quarters for approximately 750 workers, and the
LB 200, a semi submersible pipelaying vessel capable of laying 60-inch diameter
pipe (including concrete coating) and operating in water depths of up to 2,000
feet.
To support the operations of these major marine construction vessels, JRM and
its joint ventures also own or lease a substantial number of other vessels,
such as tugboats, utility boats, launch barges and cargo barges. In
connection with its construction and pipelaying activities, JRM conducts diving
operations which, because of the water depths involved, require sophisticated
equipment, including diving bells and an underwater habitat.

RAW MATERIALS
The raw materials used by JRM, such as carbon and alloy steel in various forms,
welding gases, concrete, fuel oil and gasoline, are available from many sources
and JRM is not dependent upon any single supplier or source. Although
shortages of certain of these raw materials and fuels have existed from time to
time, no serious shortage exists at the present time.
CUSTOMERS AND COMPETITION
JRM's principal customers are oil and gas companies (including foreign
government owned companies). Customers generally contract with JRM for the
design, engineering, fabrication and installation of offshore drilling and
production platforms and other specialized structures, modular facilities,
marine pipelines and subsea production systems and onshore construction and
maintenance services. Contracts are usually awarded on a competitive bid
basis.
There are a number of companies which compete effectively with JRM, the
HeereMac joint venture, McDermott-ETPM and JRM's various other joint ventures
in each of the separate marine construction phases in various parts of the
world.
BACKLOG
As of March 31, 1996 and 1995, JRM's backlog amounted to $977,896,000 and
$1,002,968,000, respectively. Of the March 31, 1996 backlog, it is expected
that approximately $791,958,000 will be recognized in revenues in fiscal year
1997, $141,408,000 in fiscal year 1998, and $44,530,000 thereafter.
Backlog at March 31, 1996, includes a contract award of $233,614,000 awarded to
McDermott-ETPM East, Inc. joint venture by the Ras Laffan Liquified Natural Gas
Company of Qatar. The project is for the installation of offshore power and
communication cables, fabrication and installation of living quarters and
wellhead platforms, and overall project management.
Not included in JRM's backlog is a letter of award for $180,000,000 received
after March 31, 1996 from Total Myanmar Exploration and Production for the
management, engineering, supply, construction, installation, hook-up and
commissioning of two wellhead platforms; and quarters, flare and production
platform facilities for the Yadana Development Project. This is the first
offshore development in Myanmar and is expected to be completed by May 1998.
Not included in JRM's backlog at March 31, 1996 and 1995 was backlog relating
to contracts to be performed by its unconsolidated foreign joint ventures of
approximately $1,374,000,000 and $978,000,000, respectively. Included in
backlog to be performed by JRM's unconsolidated joint ventures is $230,350,000
related to a contract awarded during fiscal year 1995 by Statoil A/S to the
McDermott-ETPM West, Inc. joint venture to install up to three large diameter
gas pipelines in the North Sea. Installation of the pipelines is scheduled to
start during fiscal year 1997 and continue through fiscal year 2000.
Work is performed on a fixed price, cost plus or day rate basis or combination
thereof. JRM attempts to cover increased costs of anticipated changes in
labor, material and service costs
7
<PAGE> 12
of long-term contracts either through an estimation of such changes, which is
reflected in the original price, or through price escalation clauses. Most
long-term contracts have provisions for progress payments.
FACTORS AFFECTING DEMAND
The activity of JRM depends mainly on the capital expenditures of oil and gas
companies and foreign governments for developmental construction. These
expenditures are influenced by the selling price of oil and gas along with the
cost of production and delivery, the terms and conditions of offshore leases,
the discovery rates of new reserves offshore, the ability of the oil and gas
industry to raise capital, and local and international political and economic
conditions.
Oil company capital exploration and production budgets in calendar year 1996
are higher than 1995 expenditures. While oil prices remain flat, natural gas
prices have increased significantly as compared to calendar year 1995.
Expenditures in both domestic and international areas are expected to increase;
domestic at a higher rate. Worldwide demand for offshore drilling rigs has
increased and this, historically, has been a leading indicator for an increase
in the need for marine construction services. JRM's markets are expected to
begin to emerge from the competitive environment that has put pressure on
margins in prior periods.
C. PATENTS AND LICENSES
JRM owns or has exclusive rights to use, for marine construction purposes, a
number of patents relating to offshore platform design, fabrication and
installation and pipelaying operations. JRM also co-owns several other patents
relating to such operations. Although in the aggregate these patents are
important to JRM, JRM does not consider any single patent to be of a critical
or essential nature. In general, JRM depends on its technological capabilities
and the application of know-how rather than patents in the conduct of its
business.
D. INSURANCE
JRM's offshore construction business is subject to the usual risks of
operations at sea, with additional exposure due to the utilization of expensive
construction equipment, sometimes under extreme weather conditions, often in
remote areas of the world. In addition, JRM operates in many cases on or in
proximity to existing offshore facilities which are subject to damage by JRM
and such damage could result in the escape of oil and gas into the sea.
JRM maintains liability and property insurance that it considers normal in the
industry. However, certain risks are either not insurable or insurance is
available only at rates which JRM considers uneconomical. Among such risks are
war and confiscation of property in certain areas of the world and pollution
liability in excess of relatively low limits. Depending on competitive
conditions and other factors, JRM endeavors to obtain contractual protection
against uninsured risks from its customers. However, there is no assurance
that insurance or contractual indemnity protection, when obtained, will be
sufficient or effective under all circumstances or against all hazards to which
JRM may be subject.
Prior to JRM's acquisition of OPI, one of OPI's vessels was severely damaged
during a typhoon while under going final work in connection with its
refurbishment. Estimates for the
8
<PAGE> 13
repair of the vessel, together with out-of-pocket costs, total more than
$45,000,000. At the time of the casualty loss, insurance policies had been
issued insuring the vessel for its full value. Efforts to settle the claim
with underwriters, however, have been unsuccessful, and resort to the courts
may be necessary to collect the amount claimed. Management believes that the
underwriters' refusal to satisfactorily adjust the claim is without basis and
is of the opinion that the outcome of any necessary litigation will be
favorable.
E. EMPLOYEES
At March 31, 1996, JRM employed, under its direct supervision, approximately
10,400 persons compared with 10,200 at March 31, 1995. JRM considers its
relationship with its employees to be satisfactory. None of these employees are
members of labor unions.
F. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND MATTERS
JRM is subject to the existing and evolving standards relating to the
environment. These laws include the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, and similar laws which
provide for responses to and liability for releases of hazardous substances
into the environment; and the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act and other federal laws, each as amended, and
similar foreign, state or local counterparts to these federal laws, which
regulate air emissions, water discharges, hazardous substances and wastes, and
require public disclosure related to use of various hazardous substances.
JRM's operations are also governed by laws and regulations relating to
workplace safety and worker health, primarily Occupational Safety and Health
Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. JRM believes that its facilities
are in substantial compliance with current regulatory standards.
JRM's compliance with U.S. federal, state and local environmental control and
protection regulations necessitated capital expenditures of $300,000 in fiscal
year 1996, and it expects such capital expenditures will not be material for
the foreseeable future. JRM cannot predict all of the environmental
requirements or circumstances which will exist in the future but it anticipates
that environmental control and protection standards will become increasingly
stringent and costly. Complying with existing environmental regulations
resulted in a charge against income before taxes of approximately $1,209,000 in
fiscal year 1996.
Compliance with existing government regulations controlling the discharge of
materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment does not have, nor is it expected to have, a material adverse
effect upon the consolidated financial position of JRM.
G. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
JRM has material transactions occurring during the normal course of operations
with McDermott International and other affiliated companies. JRM has also
entered into various agreements with International and its subsidiaries. (See
Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.)
JRM purchased engineering services from McDermott International based on
charges to unrelated parties for similar work and for general and
administrative activities based on an
9
<PAGE> 14
allocation of cost. Effective April 1, 1996, JRM and McDermott International,
through subsidiaries, created an equally owned joint venture which is a
preferred (but not exclusive) provider of engineering services to certain
subsidiaries of McDermott International in the U.S. for onshore-related work
and to JRM for offshore-related work. The charges for such services are to be
based on charges to unrelated parties for similar work and for general and
administrative activities based on allocation of cost. Arrangements for
pricing these services will be reviewed periodically by the parties.
While JRM's employee liability, comprehensive, general liability, property,
marine and other insurance programs are placed through commercial insurance
carriers, substantially all of such employee liability exposure is reinsured,
and significant deductibles under JRM's other insurance programs are insured,
by wholly owned insurance subsidiaries of McDermott International. The
premiums charged by such insurance companies of McDermott International for
such insurance are based upon the claims experience and forecasted activities
of JRM and its subsidiaries. Management believes this approach is more cost
effective as there is generally no commercial market for insurance on the same
economic terms for these types of exposure.
10
<PAGE> 15
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
JRM is named as a defendant in numerous lawsuits arising in the ordinary course
of business, some of which involve substantial damage claims. While the
outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, management does
not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position of JRM.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following discussion presents the results of operations of JRM for the
periods indicated and includes the accounts of the subsidiaries, divisions and
controlled joint ventures that McDermott International contributed to JRM prior
to the Merger with OPI. For the periods after the Merger, the discussion
includes the accounts and operations of JRM on a stand alone basis (including
the contribution from OPI from January 31, 1995). For fiscal year 1994 and
through the date of the Merger, certain expenses included in the consolidated
financial statements include charges from McDermott International for direct
costs, allocation of corporate overhead and interest on intercompany debt.
Management believes that the allocation methods were reasonable, and that the
allocations were representative of what costs would have been on a stand alone
basis. However, the assets, liabilities and capital structure of JRM after the
Merger differ significantly from the assets, liabilities and capital structure
of JRM prior to the Merger (which reflected substantially all of
International's marine construction services business), and accordingly, the
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
A significant portion of JRM's revenues and operating results are derived from
its foreign operations. As a result, JRM's operations and financial results
are affected by international factors, such as changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. JRM's policy attempts to minimize its exposure to changes in
foreign currency exchange rates by attempting to match foreign currency
contract receipts with like foreign currency disbursements. To the extent that
it is unable to match the foreign currency receipts and disbursements related
to its contracts, its practice of entering into forward exchange contracts to
hedge foreign currency transactions reduces the impact of foreign exchange rate
movements on JRM's operating results.
In recent periods, the market for marine construction services has been
relatively weak. This lower level of market activity, combined with the
overcapacity in the industry, has resulted in substantial pressure on pricing
and operating margins. JRM's business tends to follow the overall capital
expenditure cycles of the oil and gas industry. The recent focus in the
offshore segment of the oil and gas industry has been on expanding exploration
and development activity in deepwater and very deep water regions, such as the
North Sea, the North Atlantic and the deepwater regions of the Gulf of Mexico.
While this activity has not yet begun to generate significant demand for marine
construction services, it has resulted in a recent increase in the demand for
offshore drilling rigs, which historically has been a leading indicator for an
upturn in the demand cycle for marine construction services.
In general, JRM's performance is a function of the level of oil and gas
development activity in the world's major hydrocarbon producing regions. As a
result, JRM's revenues and profitability reflect some variability associated
with the timing of the completion of significant development projects and the
commencement of others as to which JRM has contracts, as well as the worldwide
volume of projects and their geographic distribution. JRM's recent operating
results have been adversely impacted by a substantial decline in the number of
projects generating demand for marine constructions services in the Southeast
Asia market. JRM believes this decline is only temporary and is largely due to
project timing. This decline has had an adverse effect on other markets as a
result of the migration of equipment and other resources previously allocated
to the Southeast Asia market to other markets and the resultant pressure on
pricing in those markets caused by the increased capacity. Based on its
ongoing dialogue with existing customers with respect to possible future
projects, JRM expects improvements in certain of its significant markets,
including Southeast Asia and the Gulf of Mexico. JRM believes that some level
of improvement in market activity is reflected in an increase in the backlog
relating to contracts to be performed by JRM's unconsolidated joint ventures
from $978,000,000 at March 31, 1995 to $1,374,000,000 at March 31, 1996.
Notwithstanding these signs of
15
<PAGE> 20
improvement, JRM cannot, at this time, predict the timing or extent of any
improvement in the industry or the future level of demand for JRM services.
The foregoing statements regarding JRM's markets and the other statements in
this discussion are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, among
others, the uncertainties relating to offshore development decisions to be made
by oil and gas exploration and development companies.
FISCAL YEAR 1996 VS FISCAL YEAR 1995
Revenues increased $100,521,000 to $1,227,841,000 primarily due to higher
purchased engineered equipment and subcontract activities in the North Sea
related to the B.P. Exploration Foinaven Development program west of the
Shetlands in the North Atlantic, higher revenues in North America and revenues
resulting from the acquisition of OPI. These increases were partially offset
by lower revenues in the Far East.
Operating income by geographic area decreased $33,814,000 to $33,152,000
primarily due to higher amortization expense relating to goodwill and other
intangibles resulting from the acquisition of OPI on January 31, 1995. There
were also lower margins due to the completion of higher profit margin contracts
in the Far East and the Middle East during fiscal year 1995, lower volume in
the Far East this year, lower operating income in North America on offshore
activities because of weather downtime and lower margins on certain contracts.
This decrease was partially offset by higher volume and margins in North
America on fabrication activities this year. In addition, there were operating
losses associated with the fabrication yard in Scotland and accelerated
depreciation of $4,314,000 on certain marine equipment in the Far East in the
prior year.
Equity in income of investees decreased $13,733,000 to $9,124,000. This
decrease was primarily due to lower results from both the HeereMac and
McDermott-ETPM West, Inc. joint ventures. The revenues of these two joint
ventures declined from $656,490,000 to $542,772,000, primarily in the Gulf of
Mexico, the Far East and the North Sea, partially offset by increased volume in
West Africa. The equity income from these two joint ventures declined from
$24,759,000 to $3,616,000 as a result of reduced volume and margins in the
North Sea. Together these two significant investees accounted for 40% of equity
earnings of investees. While both joint ventures performed at low levels
during fiscal 1996, worldwide demand for offshore drilling rigs has increased
and the increased level of oil and gas discoveries has resulted in an increase
in these joint ventures' backlog. Equity income in fiscal year 1996 benefitted
from the inclusion of the results of the CMM Mexican joint venture which was
not a part of JRM's marine construction services business in the prior period
and higher operating activity from the Brown & Root McDermott Fabricators
Limited joint venture which was formed in the last quarter of the prior year.
Backlog at March 31, 1996 and 1995 was $977,896,000 and $1,002,968,000,
respectively. Not included in backlog at March 31, 1996 and 1995 was backlog
relating to contracts to be performed by its unconsolidated joint ventures of
approximately $1,374,000,000 and $978,000,000, respectively.
16
<PAGE> 21
The activity of JRM (including its investees) depends mainly on the capital
expenditures of oil and gas companies and foreign governments for developmental
construction. These expenditures are influenced by the selling price of oil
and gas along with the cost of production and delivery, the terms and
conditions of offshore leases, the discovery rates of new reserves offshore,
the ability of the oil and gas industry to raise capital, and local and
international political and economic conditions.
Oil company capital exploration and production budgets in calendar year 1996
are higher than 1995 expenditures. While oil prices remain flat, natural gas
prices have increased significantly as compared to calendar year 1995.
Expenditures in both domestic and international areas are expected to increase;
domestic at a higher rate. Worldwide demand for offshore drilling rigs has
increased and this, historically, has been a leading indicator for an increase
in the need for marine construction services. JRM's markets are expected to
begin to emerge from the competitive environment that has put pressure on
margins in prior periods.
Interest income decreased $3,284,000 to $6,014,000 primarily due to settlement
of claims for interest relating to foreign tax refunds and contract claims of
$4,868,000 in the prior year.
Interest expense increased $17,229,000 to $42,387,000 primarily due to interest
on the 12.875% Guaranteed Senior Notes which were assumed in connection with the
acquisition of OPI, and changes in other debt obligations and interest rates
prevailing thereon.
Other-net income increased $4,162,000 to $11,190,000 primarily due to minority
shareholder participation in the increased losses of the McDermott-ETPM East
joint venture.
The provision for income taxes decreased $3,993,000 to $4,892,000 while income
before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting changes
decreased $64,506,000 to $5,079,000. The reduction in income taxes is
primarily due to a decrease in income and a reappraisal of approximately
$4,800,000 of liabilities in certain foreign tax jurisdictions. In addition,
JRM operates in many different tax jurisdictions. Within these jurisdictions,
tax provisions vary because of nominal rates, allowability of deductions,
credits and other benefits, and even tax basis (for example, revenue versus
income). These variances, along with variances in the mix of income within
jurisdictions, are responsible for shifts in the effective tax rate. As a
result of these factors, the provision for income taxes was 96% of pretax
income for the fiscal year ended March 31,1996, compared to a provision of 13%
of pretax income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 .
Net income decreased $59,187,000 to $187,000. This decrease included the
cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 112 of $1,326,000 in the prior
year, in addition to other items described above.
17
<PAGE> 22
FISCAL YEAR 1995 VS FISCAL YEAR 1994
Revenues decreased $66,561,000 to $1,127,320,000 primarily due to lower volume
in worldwide marine and domestic fabrication operations. These decreases were
partially offset by the inclusion of revenues as a result of the acquisition of
OPI (approximately $44,000,000) on January 31, 1995 and Northern Ocean Services
("NOS") ($59,644,000 for the full fiscal year) in February 1994, and higher
volume in foreign fabrication and procured materials.
Operating income by geographic area increased $7,094,000 to $66,966,000
(including $4,993,000 from OPI) primarily due to improved margins in foreign
marine operations, inclusion of the operating results of NOS for the full
fiscal year, and higher volume in foreign fabrication and procured materials.
These increases were partially offset by higher operating expenses.
Equity in income of investees decreased $83,736,000 to $22,857,000. Both the
HeereMac and McDermott-ETPM West, Inc. joint ventures performed at lower
levels than in the previous year, as several large contracts were completed in
fiscal 1994. The revenues of these two joint ventures declined from
$895,666,000 to $656,490,000. Most of the HeereMac decline was in the North
Sea. McDermott-ETPM West, Inc. also declined in the North Sea but this was
partially offset by increased volume in West Africa. The equity income from
these two joint ventures declined from $106,783,000 to $24,759,000. HeereMac's
equity income decreased as a result of the reduced volume and reduced margins.
McDermott-ETPM West, Inc.'s equity income also decreased as a result of the
reduced volume, but the decrease was not as severe. McDermott-ETPM West, Inc.
also had a loss provision of approximately $7,500,000 on a major North Sea
contract. Together these two significant investees accounted for 108% of
equity in earnings of investees. No other venture contributed significantly to
the decline.
Interest income increased $5,815,000 to $9,298,000 primarily due to settlement
of claims for interest relating to foreign tax refunds and contract claims.
Interest expense increased $5,082,000 to $25,158,000 primarily due to changes
in debt obligations and interest rates prevailing thereon.
Other-net income decreased $1,969,000 to $7,028,000 primarily due to minority
shareholder participation in the improved results of the McDermott-ETPM East
joint venture partially offset by lower foreign currency transaction losses.
The provision for income taxes decreased $19,165,000 to $8,885,000 while income
before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting changes
decreased $77,602,000 to $69,585,000. The decrease in the provision for income
taxes is primarily due to a decrease in income from operations.
Net income decreased $59,763,000 to $59,374,000. This decrease included the
cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 112 of $1,326,000, in addition to
other items described above.

<PAGE> 23
Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices
JRM's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, using historical dollar accounting (historical cost).
Statements based on historical cost, however, do not adequately reflect the
cumulative effect of increasing costs and changes in the purchasing power of
the dollar, especially during times of significant and continued inflation.
The management of JRM is cognizant of the effects of inflation and, in order to
minimize the negative impact of inflation on its operations, attempts to cover
the increased cost of anticipated changes in labor, material and service costs,
either through an estimation of such changes, which is reflected in an original
price, or through price escalation clauses in its contracts.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During fiscal year 1996, JRM's cash and cash equivalents increased $114,184,000
to $166,408,000 and total debt increased $21,146,000 to $441,662,000. During
this period JRM used cash of $48,906,000 in operating activities; $38,033,000
for additions to property, plant and equipment; $29,620,000 for the conversion
of a barge to a floating production unit; $7,928,000 for dividends on JRM's
preferred stock; $6,827,000 for investments in equity investees; and $6,808,000
for repayment of long-term debt. Also during this period JRM received cash of
$133,693,000 from the proceeds of asset sales; $37,097,000 from the return of
capital from the HeereMac joint venture; and $30,000,000 from a deposit in
advance on the sale of certain equipment.
Lower accounts receivable are primarily due to timing of the collection of
billings on contracts performed in the Middle and Far East. Decreases in trade
payables reflect the settlement of the Britoil contract for Atlantic Fontier
Programme Development of Foinaven Phase One Facility ("Foinaven"). Accounts
payable to McDermott International increased $42,423,000, of which approximately
$21,000,000 has been settled subsequent to March 31, 1996. Increases in net
contracts in progress and advance billings were primarily due to the timings of
billings on the Foinaven contract.
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment decreased $2,049,000 to
$38,033,000 in fiscal year 1996. While the majority of these expenditures were
incurred to maintain and replace existing facilities, $8,669,000 was expended
for installation of a new pipe reel system on a marine barge. In addition to
expenditures for property, plant and equipment, JRM expended $29,620,000 in
fiscal year 1996 for the conversion of a barge to a floating production unit
which is now leased to a third party. The barge conversion was financed by
$21,700,000 in loan facilities, of which $21,139,000 was outstanding at March
31, 1996. JRM has committed to make capital expenditures of $30,385,000 during
fiscal year 1997.
At March 31, 1996 and 1995, JRM had available to it various uncommitted
short-term lines of credit from banks totaling $142,645,000 and $118,231,000,
respectively. Borrowings by JRM against these lines of credit at March 31,
1996 and 1995 were $85,251,000 and $24,750,000, respectively. JRM also had
available a $150,000,000
19
<PAGE> 24
unsecured and committed revolving credit facility on which no borrowings were
outstanding at March 31, 1996. JRM is restricted, as a result of the
consolidated tangible net worth covenant in this agreement, in its ability to
transfer funds to International and its subsidiaries through cash dividends or
through unsecured loans or investments. As of March 31, 1996 approximately
$13,000,000 of JRM's net assets were not subject to this restriction.
In consideration for the contribution of substantially all of McDermott
International's marine construction services business, JRM issued 3,200,000
shares of Series A $2.25 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, $231,000,000
9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2001 and a $39,750,000 Floating Rate Note at
7.69% at the Merger Date to International. The Floating Rate Note of
$20,543,000 was repaid during March 1996. In addition, a subsidiary of JRM
assumed all of OPI's $70,000,000 12-7/8% Guaranteed Senior Notes due 2002. The
Notes due 2002 are redeemable at the option of the subsidiary of JRM after June
1997.
During March 1996, JRM sold the vessels DB101 and DB102 (previously leased to
the HeereMac joint venture) to the HeereMac joint venture for $240,969,000,
including $30,000,000 as a deposit in advance of the sale of certain equipment.
Consideration received included cash of $135,969,000 and a promissory note of
$105,000,000 bearing interest at a rate of 7.75%. The cash portion of the
purchase price was funded in part through a $200,000,000 stand-alone credit
arrangement obtained by the HeereMac joint venture. Proceeds from the sale
were used to repay JRM's Floating Rate Note to McDermott International and to
repay other indebtedness of approximately $72,000,000. The remaining proceeds
were invested in cash equivalents. As a result of the sale, JRM recorded a
deferred gain of $103,239,000, which it is amortizing over 12 years.
Working capital increased $195,997,000 to $169,409,000 at March 31, 1996 from a
deficit of $26,588,000 at March 31, 1995. This increase includes the vessel
sale described above. During 1997, JRM expects to obtain funds to meet capital
expenditure, working capital and debt maturity requirements from operating
activities and disposals of non-strategic assets. Leasing agreements for
equipment, which are short-term in nature, are not expected to impact JRM's
liquidity or capital resources. JRM is also considering the issuance of public
debt, the proceeds of which, in part, would be used to repay its Note Payable to
McDermott International of $231,000,000.
JRM joint ventures are largely financed through their own resources, including,
in some cases, stand-alone borrowing arrangements. Historically, JRM has
obtained funds from its joint ventures through chartering arrangements, whereby
it charters vessels to the joint ventures for use in their operations, as well
as through distributions from the joint ventures. While JRM and other parties
to the joint venture arrangements generally must agree on the amount of cash
flow to be distributed, the joint ventures have historically distributed to
their respective owners cash in excess of estimated working capital
requirements, based on owners' relative ownership percentages.
During fiscal year 1996 and 1995, JRM paid dividends of $7,200,000 and
$900,000, respectively, on its Series A Preferred Stock and $511,000 and
$217,000, respectively, on its Series B Preferred Stock. JRM has annual
preferred stock dividend requirements of $7,200,000 on its Series A Preferred
Stock. During fiscal year 1996, 458,382 shares of
20
<PAGE> 25
Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 1,065,193 shares of common stock
and the remaining 250 shares were redeemed for cash.
At March 31, 1996, the ratio of long-term debt (including notes payable to
McDermott International) to total stockholders' equity was 0.61 as compared
with 0.58 at March 31, 1995.
JRM has provided a valuation allowance ($16,216,000 at March 31, 1996) 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 ($34,444,000 at March 31, 1996) are realizable
through carrybacks and future reversals of existing taxable temporary
differences. Management will continue to assess the adequacy of the valuation
allowance on a quarterly basis.
New Accounting Standards
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 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 be recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also applies
to similar assets that are held for disposal, except for the assets of a
discontinued operation. JRM 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.
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
SFAS No. 123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for
stock- based employee compensation plans. JRM has not yet finalized its review
of the provisions of this statement, and accordingly, has not yet determined
whether it will adopt SFAS No. 123 for expense recognition purposes, or
continue to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees," and make the pro forma information disclosures
required under the new standard.

Item 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
COMPANY REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JRM has prepared the consolidated financial statements and related financial
information included in this report. JRM has the primary responsibility for
the financial statements and other financial information and for ascertaining
that the data fairly reflects its financial position and results of operations.
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and necessarily reflect informed estimates and judgments
by appropriate officers of JRM with appropriate consideration given to
materiality.
JRM believes that it maintains an internal control structure designed to
provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss or
unauthorized use and that the financial records are adequate and can be relied
upon to produce financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the
recognition that the cost of an internal control structure must not exceed the
related benefits. Although internal control procedures are designed to achieve
these objectives, it must be recognized that errors or irregularities may
nevertheless occur. JRM seeks to assure the objectivity and integrity of its
accounts by its selection of qualified personnel, by organizational
arrangements that provide an appropriate division of responsibility and by the
establishment and communication of sound business policies and procedures
throughout the organization. JRM believes that its internal control structure
provides reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be
material to the financial statements are prevented or would be detected.
JRM's accompanying consolidated financial statements have been audited by its
independent auditors, who provide JRM with expert advice on the application of
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to JRM's business and also
provide an objective assessment of the degree to which JRM meets its
responsibility for the fairness of financial reporting. They regularly
evaluate the internal control structure and perform such tests and other
procedures as they deem necessary to reach and express an opinion on the
fairness of the financial statements. The report of the independent auditors
appears elsewhere herein.
The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for JRM's consolidated
financial statements through its Audit Committee, which is composed solely of
directors who are not officers or employees of JRM or its parent,
International. The functions of the Audit Committee include the review of
matters relating to the quality of financial reporting and internal control
structure and the nature, extent and results of the audit effort. In addition,
the Audit Committee is responsible for recommending the engagement of
independent auditors for JRM to the Board of Directors, who in turn submit the
engagement to the stockholders for their approval. The independent auditors
have free access to the Audit Committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
J. Ray McDermott, S. A.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of J. Ray
McDermott, S.A. as of March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended March 31, 1996. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of J. Ray McDermott,
S.A. at March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for postemployment benefits in 1995.

J. RAY McDERMOTT, S.A.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE FISCAL YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
J. Ray McDermott, S.A. ("JRM") was incorporated on March 22, 1994 in the
Republic of Panama and had no significant operations prior to January 31, 1995
when McDermott International, Inc. ("International") contributed substantially
all of its marine construction services business to JRM and JRM acquired
Offshore Pipelines, Inc. ("OPI"). See Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements.
JRM issued 3,200,000 shares of Series A $2.25 Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock; 24,668,297 shares of common stock; $231,000,000 of 9% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2001 and a Floating Rate Demand Note of $39,750,000 to
International in exchange for its marine construction services business
excluding certain assets and liabilities which were retained by International.
The contribution of International's marine construction services business to
JRM was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests and the
financial statements reflect International's historical cost of the assets and
liabilities contributed. For periods prior to the contribution, the financial
statements include charges from International for direct costs and allocations
of corporate overhead and other costs. Management believes that the allocation
methods were reasonable and that the allocations were representative of what
the costs would have been on a stand alone basis.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JRM, and all
subsidiaries and controlled joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures and
other entities which JRM does not control but has significant influence are
accounted for on the equity method. Differences between the cost of equity
method investments and the amount of underlying equity in net assets of the
investees are amortized systematically to income. All significant intercompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Certain amounts previously
reported have been reclassified to conform with the presentation at March 31,
1996.
Unless the context otherwise requires, hereinafter, "JRM" will be used to mean
J. Ray McDermott, S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries; "International" will
be used to mean McDermott International, Inc., a Panamanian corporation that is
the parent company of the McDermott group of companies and the majority owner
of JRM; and "McDermott International" will be used to mean the consolidated
enterprise.
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
32
<PAGE> 37
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Change in Accounting Policy
Postemployment Benefits - Effective April 1, 1994, JRM adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits," in accounting for disability benefits and other types
of benefits paid to employees, their beneficiaries and covered dependents after
active employment, but before retirement. The cumulative effect as of April 1,
1994 of this change in accounting was to reduce net income by $1,326,000 (net
of income taxes of $72,000). Other than the cumulative effect, the accounting
change had no material effect on the results of fiscal year 1995. Prior to
April 1, 1994, JRM recognized the cost of providing most of these benefits on a
cash basis.
Income Taxes
Income taxes have been provided using the liability method in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Prior to the January 31, 1995
contribution by International, the U.S. subsidiaries and divisions of JRM were
included in the U.S. federal income tax return filed by McDermott Incorporated
("McDermott"), a subsidiary of International. McDermott's policy for
allocation of U.S. federal income taxes provided generally that the U.S.
subsidiaries and divisions of JRM compute the provision for U.S. federal income
taxes on a separate company basis. Subsequent to the contribution, these U.S.
subsidiaries and divisions are included in the U.S. federal tax return filed by
J. Ray McDermott Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of JRM.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations, other than operations in highly
inflationary economies, are translated into U.S. Dollars at current exchange
rates and income statement items are translated at average exchange rates for
the year. Adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency
financial statements are recorded in a separate component of equity. Foreign
currency transaction adjustments are reported in income. Included in Other
Income (Expense) are transaction gains (losses) of ($1,916,000), $711,000, and
($2,029,000) for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Contracts and Revenue Recognition
Contract revenues and related costs are principally recognized on a percentage
of completion method for individual contracts or components thereof based upon
work performed or a cost to cost method, as applicable to the product or
activity involved. Revenues and related costs so recorded, plus accumulated
contract costs that exceed amounts invoiced to customers under the terms of the
contracts, are included in Contracts in Progress. Billings that exceed
accumulated contract costs and revenues and costs recognized under percentage
of completion are included in Advance Billings on Contracts. Most long-term
contracts have provisions for progress payments. There are no unbilled
revenues which will not be billed. Contract price and cost estimates are
reviewed periodically as the work progresses and adjustments proportionate to
the percentage of
33
<PAGE> 38
completion are reflected in income in the period when such estimates are
revised. Provisions are made currently for all known or anticipated losses.
Variations from estimated contract performance could result in a material
adjustment to operating results for any fiscal quarter or year. Claims for
extra work or changes in scope of work are included in contract revenues when
collection is probable. Included in Accounts Receivable and Contracts in
Progress are approximately $7,639,000 relating to commercial contract claims
whose final settlement is subject to future negotiations or other procedures
which had not been completed at March 31, 1996.

Retainages $ 21,705 $ 20,864
=============================================================================================================
</TABLE>
All of the 1996 retainages are expected to be collected within the next year.
Depreciation, Maintenance and Repairs and Drydocking Expenses
Except for major marine vessels, property, plant and equipment is depreciated
on the straight-line method, using estimated economic useful lives of 8 to 30
years for buildings and 2 to 20 years for machinery and equipment.
Major marine vessels are depreciated on the units-of-production method based on
the utilization of each vessel. Depreciation expense calculated under the
units-of-production method may be less than, equal to, or greater than
depreciation expense calculated under the straight-line method in any period.
The annual depreciation based on utilization of each vessel will not be less
than the greater of 25% of annual straight-line depreciation, or 50% of
cumulative straight-line depreciation.
Maintenance, repairs and renewals which do not materially prolong the useful
life of an asset are expensed as incurred except for drydocking costs for the
marine fleet, which are
34
<PAGE> 39
estimated and accrued over the period of time between drydockings, and such
accruals are charged to operations currently.
Amortization of Excess of Cost Over Fair Value of Net Assets of Purchased
Businesses
Excess of the cost over fair value of net assets of purchased businesses
primarily pertains to the acquisition of OPI and is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years. Management periodically reviews goodwill to
assess recoverability, and impairments would be recognized in operating results
if a permanent diminution in value were to occur.
Earnings Per Share
Primary earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Fully
diluted earnings per share is the same as primary since the computation was
antidilutive.
Capitalization of Interest Cost
In fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, total interest cost incurred was
$43,712,000, $25,325,000 and $20,456,000, respectively, of which $1,325,000,
$167,000 and $380,000, respectively, was capitalized.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months
or less when purchased.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivatives, primarily forward exchange contracts, are utilized to minimize
exposure and reduce risk from foreign exchange fluctuations in the regular
course of business. Gains and losses relating to qualifying hedges of firm
commitments are deferred and recognized in income or as adjustments of carrying
amounts when the hedged transactions occur. Gains and losses on forward
exchange contracts which hedge foreign currency assets or liabilities are
recognized in income as incurred. Such amounts effectively offset gains and
losses on the foreign currency assets or liabilities that are hedged.
Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
JRM is currently reviewing 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 established
financial accounting and reporting standards for long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles. JRM 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.
Stock-Based Compensation
JRM accounts for its stock compensation arrangements under the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," but is reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,"
35
<PAGE> 40
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS
No. 123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for
stock-based employee compensation plans. JRM has not yet finalized its review
of the provisions of this statement, and accordingly, has not yet determined
whether it will adopt SFAS No. 123 for expense recognition purposes, or
continue to follow APB Opinion No. 25, and make the proforma information
disclosures required under the new standard.
NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION
On January 31, 1995, JRM acquired OPI, a full-range provider of offshore marine
construction and other related services to the oil and gas industry. Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, OPI investors received 13,867,946 shares of JRM common
stock; options to acquire 897,818 shares of JRM common stock and 458,632 shares
of JRM Series B $2.25 Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock in
exchange for all of the outstanding common stock, common stock options and
preferred stock of OPI. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase
method and, accordingly, the purchase price ($369,868,000, including direct
costs of acquisition and non-compete agreements) was allocated to the
underlying assets and liabilities based upon preliminary fair values at the
date of acquisition which resulted in excess cost over fair value of net assets
acquired of $235,000,000. During fiscal year 1996, JRM completed certain asset
and liability valuations related primarily to joint ventures, property, plant
and equipment, and preacquisition contingencies resulting in an increase in
excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired of $95,000,000.
Additionally, during fiscal year 1996 management completed its assessment of
the amortization period of excess of cost over fair value of net assets
acquired and determined the amortization period should be 15 years. Operating
results have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income from the
acquisition date.
Unaudited pro forma results of operations for fiscal years ended March 31, 1995
and 1994 assuming that the contribution by McDermott International of
substantially all of its marine construction services business to JRM and the
acquisition of OPI had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal year 1994 are:
revenues of $1,442,694,000, income before cumulative effect of accounting
change of $42,617,000 ($0.88 per share primary and fully diluted) and net
income of $41,291,000 ($0.84 per share primary and fully diluted) for fiscal
year 1995; revenues of $1,533,155,000, and net income of $118,666,000 ($2.62
per share primary and $2.58 fully diluted) for fiscal year 1994. The pro forma
financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had
the transaction been completed as of April 1, 1993.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
Transactions with unconsolidated affiliates which are accounted for by the
equity method included sales to ($135,051,000, $136,681,000 and $78,748,000 in
fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, including approximately

affiliate. Included in Accounts payable at March 31, 1996 and 1995 were
$4,471,000 and $3,815,000, respectively, of payables to unconsolidated
affiliates.
During fiscal year 1996, JRM sold to the HeereMac joint venture the major
marine vessels that it had been leasing to the joint venture. JRM received
cash of $135,969,000, including a $30,000,000 deposit in advance on the sale of
certain marine equipment, and a 7.75% note receivable of $105,000,000 and
recorded a deferred gain of $103,239,000, which is being amortized over
HeereMac's 12 year depreciable lives of the vessels. The note receivable, net
of the deferred gain is included in investments in joint ventures. In addition
to the vessel sale in fiscal year 1996, JRM received $37,097,000 as a return on
capital from the HeereMac joint venture.
In fiscal year 1995, JRM contributed various marine construction barges with a
cost of $102,602,000 and accumulated depreciation of $76,763,000 and sold a
derrick barge to the HeereMac joint venture for $9,101,000. In fiscal year
1994, JRM recognized revenues of $131,000,000 on work subcontracted to
HeereMac.
At March 31, 1996 and 1995, property, plant and equipment included $141,293,000
and $402,479,000, and accumulated depreciation included $89,312,000 and
$230,674,000, respectively, of marine equipment that is leased to
unconsolidated investees. Dividends received from unconsolidated investees
were $2,291,000, $65,667,000 and $59,179,000 in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Undistributed earnings in unconsolidated affiliates were
$27,506,000 and $25,929,000, respectively, at March 31, 1996 and 1995.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
Income taxes have been provided based upon the tax laws and rates in the
countries in which operations are conducted. All income has been earned
outside of Panama and JRM is not subject to income tax in Panama on income
earned outside of Panama. Therefore, there is no expected relationship between
the provision for income taxes and income before income taxes. The major
reason for the variations in such relationships is that income is earned within
and subject to the taxation laws of various countries, each of which has a
regime of taxation which varies from that of any other country (not only with
respect to nominal rate but also with respect to the allowability of
deductions, credits and other benefits) and because the proportional extent to
which income is earned in, and subject to tax by, any particular country or
countries varies from year to year. JRM and certain of its subsidiaries keep
books and file tax returns on the completed contract method of accounting.

The non-current notes payable to McDermott International are 9% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2001 ("9% Notes") and are redeemable at any time after
September 15, 1997 (subject to any required approvals), in whole or in part,
for cash, at the option of JRM, initially at a price of 105% of the principal
amount, and thereafter at prices declining annually to 100% of the principal
amount after September 15, 2000. The terms of the 9% Notes impose certain
restrictions or limitations on, among other things, the ability of JRM to
pledge its assets as security for certain indebtedness or to incur debt ranking
senior to these notes. During fiscal year 1996, an agreement was reached
between JRM and McDermott International whereas JRM can repurchase the 9% Notes
at their face value, without any premium, plus accrued interest with part of
the proceeds from a public debt offering that JRM is considering in
fiscal year 1997.
Included in Accounts receivable-trade are receivables from McDermott
International of $7,668,000 at March 31, 1995.
In connection with the acquisition of OPI, two directors and two officers of
JRM entered into noncompetition agreements. As consideration, such directors
and officers received a total of approximately $10,131,000 (including 50,000
shares of JRM's common stock valued at $1,131,000) during fiscal year 1995. In
addition, one director (who resigned in April 1996) received $1,500,000 in
fiscal year 1996 and will receive additional payments of $1,500,000 per year
over the next four years.
In fiscal year 1995, JRM entered into an office sublease with an affiliate of a
director (who resigned in April 1996) of JRM. Under the sublease which expires
no later than March 1997, the affiliate is required to make monthly rental
payments of approximately $18,000. During fiscal year 1996, the affiliate paid
$185,000 under the sublease. Under another agreement, the affiliate manages
and operates JRM's offshore producing oil and gas property for a monthly fee of
$48,000 and reimbursement of certain costs. During fiscal year 1996, JRM paid
$576,000 to the affiliate for out-of- pocket expenses for the management and
operations of its offshore producing oil and gas property. Also during fiscal
year 1996, JRM fabricated a caisson for the affiliate for $84,000. JRM sold
an offshore jacket and deck to the affiliate for $1,100,000 during fiscal year
1995 and received approximately $2,000,000 from the affiliate during fiscal
year 1996 pursuant to a contract to refurbish, transport and install the jacket
and deck.
JRM entered into agreements with an affiliate of another director of JRM
pursuant to which, the subsidiary acquired interests in certain offshore oil
and gas property. During fiscal year 1996 and 1995, JRM paid $2,036,000 and
$3,000,000, respectively, to the affiliate under the agreements in connection
with the acquisition of its interests and the development of such property.
During fiscal year 1996, JRM sold its interest in the property to the affiliate
in exchange for an $8,000,000 convertible production payment relating to such
property. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements entered into in connection
with such sale, JRM received a right to a production payment that allows it to
share in up to $8,000,000 of the net proceeds on any production from the
property based upon a percentage of its original interest in such property. In
December 1995, this property was placed on production and to date JRM has
earned approximately $179,000 as a result of this production payment. In
addition, JRM owns 140,000 shares of common stock of this affiliate and 20,000
units in a limited partnership which is also an affiliate of
41
<PAGE> 46
this director. JRM has a $15,000,000 contract to fabricate and install a
platform with the limited partnership.
JRM also has entered into agreements with two affiliates of a director of JRM
pursuant to which JRM will design, fabricate and install several offshore
pipelines or structures. The value of these agreements exceeds $80,000,000.
As of March 31, 1996, these affiliates have paid to JRM approximately
$59,000,000 for work completed under these agreements. The affiliates of the
director have been invoiced for an additional $3,300,000 that is expected to be
paid in the ordinary course of business.
In connection with the acquisition of OPI, JRM entered into various agreements
under which McDermott International provides administrative and technical
services to JRM. These services include, but are not limited to: accounting,
treasury, tax administration and other financial services; human relations;
computing and telecommunications; corporate officer and secretarial;
purchasing; and marine systems and automation. The cost of these services to
JRM for fiscal year 1996 was approximately $11,900,000.
Effective January 31, 1995, JRM sold to McDermott International those assets
and liabilities comprising the shipyard business located in Morgan City,
Louisiana that were included in the business contributed by McDermott
International with the Merger. In consideration, JRM received $4,802,000.
Certain officers and employees of JRM participate in certain benefit plans
which involve the issuance of International Common Stock.
JRM maintains employment agreements with certain officers and employees which
contain change in control provisions that would entitle each to receive two
times his three-year average annual salary plus continuation of certain
benefits if there is a change in control of JRM (as defined) and a termination
of his employment within two years after a change in control. These agreements
also provide medical and health insurance benefits for a two-year period
following the termination of employment.

In connection with the Merger, JRM assumed OPI's $70,000,000 12-7/8% Guaranteed
Senior Notes ("12.875% Notes"). The 12.875% Notes are subject to mandatory
sinking fund requirements beginning on July 15, 2000 calculated to retire 50%
of the original principal amount prior to maturity in 2002. The 12.875% Notes
are redeemable, for cash, at the option of JRM, at any time on or after July
15, 1997, in whole or in part, at a price of 106.4% of the principal amount,
and thereafter at prices declining annually to 100% of the principal amount on
or after July 15, 2000. JRM is restricted, as a result of covenants in this
credit agreement, in its ability to transfer funds to International and its
subsidiaries through cash dividends or through unsecured loans or investments.
43
<PAGE> 48
Maturities of long-term debt during the five fiscal years subsequent to March
31, 1995 are as follows: 1997 - $10,879,000; 1998 - $11,117,000; 1999 -
$15,595,000; 2000 - $70,000; 2001 - $2,000.
At March 31, 1996 and 1995, JRM had available to it various uncommitted
short-term lines of credit from banks totalling $142,645,000 and $118,231,000,
respectively. Borrowings by JRM against these lines of credit at March 31,
1996 and 1995 were $85,251,000 and $24,750,000, respectively. JRM also had
available a $150,000,000 unsecured and committed revolving credit facility on
which no borrowings were outstanding at March 31, 1996. JRM is restricted, as
a result of the consolidated tangible net worth covenant in this agreement, in
its ability to transfer funds to International and its subsidiaries through
cash dividends or through unsecured loans or investments.
NOTE 8 - PENSION PLANS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Pension Plans - Prior to fiscal year 1996, JRM provided retirement benefits,
primarily through employee participation, in non-contributory pension plans of
McDermott International (See Note 6). Effective April 1, 1995, new plans were
established for employees of JRM. As a result, a subsidiary of International
transferred to JRM an accrued pension liability of approximately $4,585,000
relating to employees covered under the new plan and transferred to the plan
assets, which were equal to the projected benefit obligation, of approximately
$40,456,000.
JRM provides retirement benefits through employee participation in two
non-contributory pension plans for substantially all of its salaried employees,
except certain non-resident alien employees of foreign subsidiaries who are not
citizens of a European Community country or who do not earn income in the
United States or the United Kingdom. Plan benefits are based on final average
compensation and years of service. JRM's funding policy is to fund the
applicable pension plan to meet minimum funding requirements of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and to fund the other pension
plan as recommended by the respective plan actuary in accordance with
applicable law. At January 1, 1996, approximately one-half of total plan
assets were invested in listed stocks and bonds. The remaining assets were
held in foreign equity funds, U.S. Government securities and investments of a
short-term nature.
JRM also provides benefits to employees in the United Kingdom through
participation of certain of its subsidiaries and affiliate companies in a
contributory pension plan (the U.K. plan) sponsored by McDermott International.
JRM's policy was to fund the U.K. plan to meet the minimum requirements as
recommended by the plan actuary and in accordance with applicable law. Under
the terms of the Merger Agreement, this plan was excluded from the contribution
of McDermott International's marine construction services business at January
31, 1995, but former employees of McDermott International's marine construction
services business who transferred to JRM will continue to participate in this
plan until a new one is established.

Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits - JRM offers
postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to substantially all of
its regular full time employees who retire and receive retirement income from a
defined benefit pension plan funded by JRM, except certain non-resident alien
retired employees who are not citizens of a European Community country, or who,
while employed, did not earn income in the United States, Canada or the United
Kingdom. JRM shares the cost of providing these benefits, except for certain
life insurance plans, with all affected retirees. JRM does not fund any of its
plans.
The following table sets forth the amounts recognized in the consolidated
financial statements at March 31:

============================================================================================================
Weighted-average discount rate 7.25% 8.25%

</TABLE>
The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation in the above table includes
$16,048,000 and $12,264,000 for health care plans and $783,000 and $588,000 for
life insurance plans at March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. For the period
January 31 to March 31, 1995, net periodic postretirement benefit cost was
$337,000.
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal year 1996 included the
following components:

Service cost $ 767
Interest cost 1,060
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 1,827
============================================================================================================
</TABLE>
For measurement purposes, a weighted-average annual assumed rate of increase in
the per capita cost of covered health care claims of 10-3/4% was assumed for
1996 and 11-1/2% for 1995. For 1997, a rate of 9-3/4% was assumed. The rate
was assumed to decrease gradually to 5% in 2005 and remain at that level
thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect
on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the assumed health care cost
trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of March 31, 1996 by $2,676,000 and the
aggregate of the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for fiscal year 1996 by $307,000.

NOTE 9- CAPITAL STOCK
At March 31, 1996 and 1995, 15,592,108 and 12,081,354 shares, respectively, of
Common Stock were reserved for issuance in connection with the conversion of
Series A $2.25 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred
Stock") and, in fiscal year 1995, Series B $2.25 Cumulative Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock, the exercise of stock options, awards of
restricted stock under JRM's stock incentive plans and, in fiscal year 1996,
contributions to the Thrift Plan.
Series A Preferred Stock
At March 31, 1996 and 1995, 3,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were
owned by International. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock have one vote per
share and a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share. Dividends on Series A
Preferred Stock are cumulative at the annual rate of $2.25 per share.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable, for cash at $52.00 per
share, after January 31, 1997 (subject to any required approvals) and prior to
January 31, 2000, provided that the last reported sales price of JRM Common
Stock in its principal trading market for any 20 trading days within a period
of 30 consecutive trading days ending not more than five days prior to the date
the Series A Preferred Stock is called for redemption is at least $55.74 after
January 31, 2000.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 1.794 shares of
Common Stock at any time after a call by JRM for redemption of any or all of
the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock or at any time after January 31, 2000.
Series B Preferred Stock
During fiscal year 1996, 458,382 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were
converted into 1,065,193 shares of Common Stock and the remaining 250 shares
were redeemed for cash.

</TABLE>
No further awards can be made under the OPI Incentive Compensation Program. At
March 31, 1996, 480,734 were outstanding and exercisable.
A total of 3,533,600 shares of Common Stock are available for grants of
options, and rights to purchase shares, to officers and key employees under the
Executive Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. The Plan permits the grant of
Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights,
Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, and Performance Units. Options to
purchase shares are granted at not less than 100% of the fair market value on
the date of the grant, become exercisable at such time or times as determined
when granted and expire ten years after the date of grant. A total of 54,240
rights have been granted to purchase shares at par value ($1.00 per share)
under the Executive Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan at March 31, 1996.
A total of 96,700 shares of Common Stock are available for grants of options,
and rights to purchase shares, to non- employee directors under the nonemployee
Director Stock Plan. Options to purchase 600, 200, and 200 shares will be
granted on the first, second, and third years, respectively, of a Director's
term at par value ($1.00 per share) subject to restrictions on transfer, which
lapse at the end of such term. A total of 1,100 rights have been granted to
purchase shares at par value ($1.00 per share) under the Director Stock Plan at
March 31, 1996.
Under the 1995 Senior Management Stock Option Plan, senior management employees
may be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock. The total number of
shares available for grant is determined by the Board of Directors from time to
time. Options to purchase shares are granted at no less than 100% of the fair
value on the date of grant, become exercisable at such time or times as
determined when granted, and expire ten years after the date of grant.
In the event of a change in control of JRM, all three programs have provisions
that may cause restrictions to lapse and accelerate the exercisability of
options outstanding.
Thrift Plan
Certain employees of JRM participate in the Thrift Plan for Employees of
McDermott Incorporated and Participating Subsidiary and Affiliated Companies,
which is a defined contribution plan maintained by a subsidiary of McDermott
International. On June 5, 1995, a maximum of 5,000,000 of the authorized and
unissued shares of JRM's Common Stock
49
<PAGE> 54
was reserved for possible issuance to be used as the JRM employer match for
employee contributions to the Thrift Plan for Employees of McDermott
Incorporated and Participating Subsidiary and Affiliated Companies. Such
employer contributions equal 50% of the first 6% of compensation, as defined in
the Plan, contributed by participants, and fully vest and are non-forfeitable
after five years of service or upon retirement, death, lay-off or approved
disability. During fiscal year 1996, 80,356 shares were issued as employer
contributions pursuant to the Plan. At March 31, 1996, 4,919,644 shares
remained available for issuance.
NOTE 10 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Litigation - JRM and certain of its officers, directors and subsidiaries are
defendants in numerous legal proceedings. Management believes that the outcome
of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the
consolidated financial position of JRM.
Operating Leases - Future minimum payments required under operating leases that
have initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year at
March 31, 1996 are as follows: 1997 - $7,384,000; 1998 - $5,850,000; 1999 -
$3,606,000; 2000 - $2,596,000; 2001 - $2,200,000; and thereafter - $18,176,000.
Total rental expense for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $66,617,000,
$79,098,000, and $87,531,000, respectively. These expense figures include
contingent rentals and are net of sublease income, both of which are not
material.
Other - JRM maintains liability and property insurance that it considers normal
in the industry. However, certain risks are either not insurable or insurance
is available only at rates which JRM considers uneconomical.
Prior to JRM's acquisition of OPI, one of OPI's vessels was severely damaged
during a typhoon while under going final work in connection with its
refurbishment. Estimates for the repair of the vessel, together with
out-of-pocket costs, total more than $45,000,000. At the time of the casualty
loss, insurance policies had been issued insuring the vessel for its full value.
Efforts to settle the claim with underwriters, however, have been unsuccessful,
and resort to the courts may be necessary to collect the amount claimed.
Management believes that the underwriters' refusal to satisfactorily adjust the
claim is without basis and is of the opinion that the outcome of any necessary
litigation will be favorable.
Commitments for capital expenditures amounted to approximately $30,385,000 at
March 31, 1996, all of which relates to fiscal year 1997.
JRM is contingently liable under standby letters of credit totaling
$168,413,000 (including $51,500,000 issued on behalf of unconsolidated foreign
joint ventures) at March 31, 1996, issued in the normal course of business.
JRM has guaranteed $33,455,000 of loans to and $18,981,000 of standby letters
of credit issued by certain unconsolidated foreign joint ventures of JRM at
March 31, 1996. In addition, JRM has guaranteed $13,333,000 of loans to a
third party at March 31, 1996.
50
<PAGE> 55
NOTE 11 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The principal customers of JRM are the offshore oil, natural gas and
hydrocarbon processing industries and other marine construction companies.
These concentrations of customers may impact JRM's overall exposure to credit
risk, either positively or negatively, in that the customers may be similarly
affected by changes in economic or other conditions. However, JRM's management
believes that the portfolio of receivables is well diversified and that such
diversification minimizes any potential credit risk. Receivables are generally
not collateralized.
JRM believes that its provision for possible losses on uncollectible accounts
receivable is adequate for its credit loss exposure. At March 31, 1996 and
1995, the allowance for possible losses deducted from Accounts receivable-trade
on the balance sheet was $584,000 and $795,000, respectively.
NOTE 12 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
JRM operates internationally, giving rise to exposure to market risks from
changes in foreign exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments, primarily
forward exchange contracts, are utilized to reduce those risks. JRM does not
hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
Forward exchange contracts are entered into primarily as hedges of certain firm
purchase and sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies. At March 31,
1996, JRM had forward exchange contracts to purchase $6,766,000 in foreign
currencies (primarily Pound Sterling), and to sell $59,690,000 in foreign
currencies (primarily Dutch Guilders, Saudi Riyals and Pound Sterling), at
varying maturities through fiscal year 1997. At March 31, 1995, JRM had forward
exchange contracts to purchase $10,134,000 in foreign currencies (primarily
Pound Sterling), and to sell $60,445,000 in foreign currencies (primarily Dutch
Guilders and Malaysian Ringgits), at varying maturities through fiscal year
1996.
Deferred realized and unrealized gains and losses from hedging firm purchase
and sale commitments are included on a net basis in the balance sheet as a
component of either other current assets or accrued liabilities. They are
recognized in income as part of the purchase or sale transaction when it is
recognized, or as other gains or losses when a hedged transaction is no longer
expected to occur. At March 31, 1996 and 1995, JRM had deferred gains of
$123,000 and $537,000, respectively, and deferred losses of $18,000 and
$1,570,000, respectively, related to forward exchange contracts. All of the
forward exchange contracts at March 31, 1996 are expected to be recognized
during fiscal year 1997.
JRM is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties to derivative financial instruments, but it does not anticipate
nonperformance by any of the counterparties. The amount of such exposure is
generally the unrealized gains in such contracts.
51
<PAGE> 56
NOTE 13 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by JRM in estimating its fair
value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet
for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.
Long and short-term debt: The fair values of JRM's debt instruments are based
on quoted market prices or where quoted prices are not available, on the
present value of cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar
debt instruments or on estimated prices based on current yields for debt issues
of similar quality and terms. At March 31, 1996 and 1995, JRM had total debt
(excluding capitalized leases and notes payable to McDermott International)
with a carrying value of $194,264,000 and $129,954,000 and a fair value of
$207,700,000 and $130,814,000, respectively.
Notes payable to and receivable from McDermott International: The fair values of
JRM's notes payable to McDermott International are calculated using estimated
prices based on current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms.
At March 31, 1996 and 1995, JRM's total notes payable issued to McDermott
International had carrying values of $231,000,000 and $270,750,000,
respectively, which approximate fair values.
Note receivable from an unconsolidated affiliate: At March 31, 1996, it was
not practicable to estimate the fair value of JRM's 7.75% Note receivable with
the HeereMac joint venture because there are no quoted market prices and the
time of its settlement cannot yet be determined.
Foreign currency exchange contracts: The fair values of foreign currency
forward exchange contracts are estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers. At
March 31, 1996 and 1995, JRM had net forward exchange contracts to sell foreign
currencies with notional values of $52,924,000 and $50,311,000 and fair values
of $50,022,000 and $51,647,000, respectively.
NOTE 14 - SEGMENT REPORTING
JRM operates in a single business segment and supplies worldwide services for
the offshore oil, natural gas and hydrocarbon processing industries, and to
other marine construction companies. Principal activities include the design,
engineering, fabrication and installation of marine pipelines and offshore
structures and subsea production systems for development drilling and
production, transportation of oil and gas and onshore construction and
maintenance services. JRM also provides vessel chartering operations,
principally to its unconsolidated affiliates.
JRM does not believe it is dependent on any one customer. Sales to major
customers that exceeded 10% of revenues were: 1996--customer A $198,453,000
(16%), customer B $190,000,000 (15%); 1995--customer B $118,820,000 (11%); and
1994-- customer C $174,688,000 (15%), customer D $160,195,000 (13%).
52
<PAGE> 57
At March 31, 1996 and 1995 receivables of $6,824,000 and $6,230,000,
respectively, were due from minority shareholders participating in JRM's
majority-owned joint ventures, primarily ETPM S.A. Sales to ETPM S.A. were
$1,801,000 and $3,133,000, respectively, for the fiscal years ended March 31,
1995 and 1994. There were no sales to ETPM S.A. in fiscal year 1996. In
fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994 equipment charters and overhead expenses of
$4,118,000, $4,938,000 and $6,330,000, respectively, were charged by ETPM S.A.
to the McDermott-ETPM joint venture.
