SEABULK INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2003
(UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim financial information and with
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the consolidated
balance sheet do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
complete financial statements. All adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the periods shown are of a normal recurring nature and have been
reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The
results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The
information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this
report and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2002. Except net income (loss), the Company has no material components of
comprehensive income (loss).
Certain financial statement reclassifications have been made to conform
prior period data to the 2003 financial statement presentation.
2. SENIOR NOTES OFFERING
On August 5, 2003, the Company completed the offering of $150 million
of Senior Notes ("Notes") due 2013 through a private placement eligible for
resale under Rule 144A and Regulation S. The net proceeds of the offering were
used to repay a portion of the Company's indebtedness under its existing $180
million credit facility. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in
arrears, commencing on February 15, 2004. The average interest rate on the Notes
sold to private institutional investors is 9.50%. The Notes are senior unsecured
obligations guaranteed by certain of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries. The Notes
are subject to certain covenants, including, among other things, limiting
the Parent's and certain U.S. subsidiaries' ability to incur additional
indebtedness or issue preferred stock, pay dividends to stockholders, and make
investments or sell assets.
In connection with the Notes offering, the Company amended and restated
its existing $180 million credit facility. The amended credit facility consists
of an $80 million revolving credit facility and has a five-year maturity. The
amended credit facility is subject to semi-annual reductions commencing February
5, 2004. It is secured by first liens on certain of the Company's vessels
(excluding vessels financed with Title XI financing and some of its other
vessels) and stock of certain subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by certain
subsidiaries. The amended credit facility is subject to various financial
covenants, including minimum ratios of adjusted EBITDA to adjusted interest
expense and a minimum ratio of adjusted funded debt to adjusted EBITDA.

3. VESSEL ACQUISITIONS
In January 2003, the Company took delivery of the SEABULK AFRICA, a
newbuild, state-of-the art, 236-foot, 5,500 horsepower UT-755L platform supply
vessel. The vessel has joined the Company's West African fleet. The SEABULK
AFRICA and related improvements were acquired for cash of approximately $17.8
million and financed in April 2003 by means of a sale leaseback arrangement with
TransAmerica Capital for a lease term of 10 years, under which the Company will
have an option to acquire the vessel after 8 years at a fixed price. The lease
will be accounted for as a capital lease.
The Company also took delivery of two newbuild vessels as bareboat
charterer in February and March 2003. The SEABULK BADAMYAR is a 3800-horsepower
anchor handling tug/supply vessel and SEABULK NILAR is a 3800-horsepower
platform supply vessel. The Company is bareboat chartering the vessels from the
shipbuilder, the Labroy Group in Indonesia, for deployment under time charters
with a major international oil company in the Southeast Asia market. The term of
each bareboat charter is three years with an option to purchase the vessel at
fair market value at the end of the term. The leases will be accounted for as
operating leases.
In April 2003, the Company terminated a capital lease with TA Marine
Inc. for the SEABULK ARIZONA and acquired the vessel for $6.9 million. The
SEABULK ARIZONA is a 1998 built, 205-foot, 4,200 horsepower supply vessel.
Financing was in the form of a 5-year, $6.5 million term loan provided by Orix
Financial Services, Inc. with an interest rate of 5.81%.
In June 2003, the Company purchased a Brazilian flag line handling
vessel for operations in Brazil for $2.5 million. The Company also executed a
vessel construction agreement in April 2003, through its newly formed Brazilian
subsidiary, with a Brazilian shipyard for the construction of a modern platform
supply vessel for a purchase price of $16.6 million for offshore energy support
operations in Brazil. This vessel is expected to be completed in the third
quarter of 2004. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had spent approximately
$800,000 on the construction of the vessel. In August 2003, the Company entered
into a second construction agreement with the same yard, Promar, for a second
identical vessel, to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2004, for $16.5
million. In anticipation of such operations, the Company has established a
Brazilian subsidiary called Seabulk Offshore do Brazil S.A.
The Company anticipates entering into a 5-year bareboat charter with
purchase option for a newly built anchor handler. It is expected that this
vessel will be deployed in West Africa.
4. JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENTS
In March 2003, the Company formed a joint venture company in Nigeria,
named Modant Seabulk Nigeria Limited, with CTC International, Inc., a company
owned by Nigerian interests. The Company has a 40% interest in Modant Seabulk
Nigeria Limited. The Company also sold five of its crewboats operating in
Nigeria to joint venture companies related to CTC International in April 2003
for $2 million. As a part of the proceeds of sale, the Company invested $400,000
and acquired a 20% interest in these joint venture companies. Modant Seabulk
Nigeria Limited operates the crewboats. Seabulk Offshore provides certain
management services for the joint venture. The Company has not guaranteed any
debt of the joint venture nor is the Company required to provide additional
funding.
The Company anticipates entering into a joint venture with an Angolan
company for vessel operations in Angola.

5. INCOME TAXES
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, a gross
deferred tax liability and benefit, respectively, was computed using an
estimated annual effective tax rate of 36%. Management has recorded a valuation
allowance at June 30, 2003 and 2002 to reduce the net deferred tax assets to an
amount that will more likely than not be realized. After application of the
valuation allowance, the net deferred tax assets are zero. The current provision
for income taxes for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and
2002 represents taxes withheld on foreign source revenue.
6. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net
income (loss) per share for the periods indicated:

The weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the three

options, respectively. Additionally, 250,000 and 459,775 warrants are excluded
from the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These common stock
equivalents are excluded because they are antidilutive.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company organizes its business principally into three segments. The
Company does not have significant intersegment transactions. These segments and
their respective operations are as follows:
OFFSHORE ENERGY SUPPORT (Seabulk Offshore) - Offshore energy support
includes vessels operating in U.S. and foreign locations used primarily
to transport materials, supplies, equipment and personnel to drilling
rigs and to support the construction, positioning and ongoing
operations of oil and gas production platforms.
MARINE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES (Seabulk Tankers) - Marine
transportation services includes oceangoing vessels used to transport
chemicals, fuel and other petroleum products, primarily from chemical
manufacturing plants, refineries and storage facilities along the U.S.
Gulf of Mexico coast to industrial users and distribution facilities in
and around the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic and Pacific coast ports.
Certain of the vessels also transport crude oil within Alaska and among
Alaska, the Pacific coast and Hawaiian ports.
TOWING (Seabulk Towing) - Harbor and offshore towing services are
provided by tugs to vessels utilizing the ports in which the tugs
operate, and to vessels at sea to the extent required by offshore
commercial contract opportunities and by environmental regulations,
casualties or other emergencies.
The Company evaluates performance by operating segment. Also, within
the offshore energy support segment, the Company performs additional performance
evaluations of vessels marketed in U.S. and foreign locations. Resources are
allocated based on segment profit or loss from operations, before interest and
taxes.
Revenue by segment and geographic area consists only of services
provided to external customers, as reported in the Statements of Operations.
Income from operations by geographic area represents net revenue less applicable
costs and expenses related to that revenue. Unallocated expenses are primarily
comprised of general and administrative expenses of a corporate nature.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under United States law, "United States persons" are prohibited from
business activities and contracts in certain countries, including Sudan and
Iran. The Company has filed three reports with and submitted documents to the
Office of Foreign Asset Control ("OFAC") of the U.S. Department of Treasury. One
of the reports was also filed with the Bureau of Export Administration of the
U.S. Department of Commerce. The reports and documents related to certain
limited charters with third parties involving three of the Company's vessels
which called in the Sudan for several months in 1999 and January 2000, and
charters with third parties involving several of the Company's vessels which
called in Iran in 1998. In March 2003, the Company received notification from
OFAC that the case has been referred to its Civil Penalties Division. Should
OFAC determine that these activities constituted violations of the laws or
regulations, civil penalties, including fines, could be assessed against the
Company. The Company cannot predict the extent of such penalties; however,
management does not believe the outcome of these matters will have a material
impact on its financial position or results of operations.
The Company was sued by Maritime Transportation Development Corporation
(MTDC) in January 2002 in Florida state court in Broward County alleging broker
commissions due since 1998 from charters on two of its vessels, the SEABULK
MAGNACHEM and SEABULK CHALLENGER, under an alleged broker commission agreement.
MTDC was controlled by the founders of the Company's predecessor company. The
claim allegedly continues to accrue. The amount alleged to be due is over
$500,000, but is subject to offset claims and defenses by the Company. The
Company is vigorously defending such charges and believes that it has good
defenses, but the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome.
Under the Company's mutual protection and indemnity marine insurance
policy, the Company could be liable for additional premiums to cover investment
losses and reserve shortfalls experienced by its marine insurance club
(Steamship). The maximum potential amount of additional premiums that can be
assessed by Steamship is substantial, however, additional premiums can only be
assessed for open policy years. Steamship usually closes a policy year
approximately three years after the policy year has ended. As of August 1, 2003,
completed policy years 2000 - 2002 are still open, but there have been no
additional premiums assessed for these policy years. The Company will record a
liability for any such additional premiums when they are assessed and the amount
can be reasonably estimated.
From time to time, the Company is also party to personal injury and
property damage claims litigation arising in the ordinary course of its
business. Protection and indemnity marine liability insurance covers large
claims in excess of the Company's significant deductibles and self-insured
retentions.
9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
("SFAS 123"), the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES ("APB 25") and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock-based transactions and has
complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123. Under APB 25,
compensation expense is calculated at the time of option grant based upon the
difference between the exercise prices of the option and the fair market value
of the Company's common stock at the date of grant recognized over the vesting
period.
On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, ACCOUNTING FOR
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS
123 to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement
amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 to require expanded disclosure of
9
the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based
employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual
and interim financial statements.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine
the fair value of options granted under the Company's stock option plans. Had
compensation expense for the stock option grants been determined based on the
fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the methods of SFAS No.
123, the Company's net income (loss) would have changed the pro forma amounts
presented below:

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Accounting Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued an exposure draft of a proposed
Statement of Position ("SOP") entitled ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN COSTS AND
ACTIVITIES RELATED TO PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Under the proposed SOP, the
Company would expense major maintenance costs as incurred and prohibit the use
of the deferral of the entire cost of a planned major maintenance activity.
Currently, the costs incurred to drydock the Company's vessels are deferred and
amortized on a straight-line basis over the period to the next drydocking,
generally 30 to 36 months. Management has determined that this SOP, if issued as
proposed, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In the year of adoption, the Company would write-off the net book value of the
deferred drydocking costs and record the write-off as a change in accounting
principle ($23.2 million as of June 30, 2003). Additionally, all drydock
expenditures incurred after the adoption of the SOP would be expensed as
incurred.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, RESCISSION OF FASB
STATEMENTS NO. 4, 44 AND 64, AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 14, AND TECHNICAL
CORRECTIONS, which eliminates the requirement that gains and losses from the
extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an
extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect, and eliminates an
inconsistency between the accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and certain
lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to
sale-leaseback transactions. Subsequent to the January 1, 2003 adoption date of
the standard, the Company will be required to reclassify to continuing
operations amounts previously reported as extinguishments of debt.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES, which addresses the financial
10
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities.
SFAS No. 146 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002.
The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"),
GUARANTOR'S ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR GUARANTEES, INCLUDING
INDIRECT GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS OF OTHERS. FIN 45 expands on the accounting
guidance of Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and incorporates without change the
provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 34, which is being superseded. FIN 45
elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees,
including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies
that at the time a company issues a guarantee, it must recognize an initial
liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes
under that guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and
annual financial statements. The initial recognition and initial measurement
provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after
December 31, 2002, regardless of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure
requirements in the Interpretation are effective for financial statements of
interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES, AN INTERPRETATION OF ARB NO. 51.
FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the
primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. The primary beneficiary is
defined as the party which, as a result of holding its variable interest,
absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of its
expected residual returns, or both. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable
interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable
interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions
of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after
June 15, 2003. The Company has not yet determined the impact that the adoption
of FIN 46 will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
11. SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On August 5, 2003, the Company completed the offering of $150 million
of Senior Notes due 2013 through a private placement eligible for resale under
Rule 144 A and Regulation S. The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay
a portion of the Company's indebtedness under its existing $180 million credit
facility.
The restricted subsidiaries presented below represent the Company's
subsidiaries that will be subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the
indenture governing the Senior Notes. Only certain of the restricted
subsidiaries, representing the domestic restricted subsidiaries, will guarantee
the notes, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis. The non-guarantor
unrestricted subsidiaries presented below represent the subsidiaries that own
the five double-hull tankers which are financed by the Title XI debt with
recourse to these tankers and the subsidiaries that own them. These subsidiaries
are designated as unrestricted subsidiaries under the indenture governing the
Senior Notes and will not guarantee the notes.
Supplemental financial information for the Company and its guarantor
restricted subsidiaries, non-guarantor restricted subsidiaries and non-guarantor
unrestricted subsidiaries for the senior notes is presented below.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with
the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto
included elsewhere in this Report and the 2002 Form 10-K.
The MD&A contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than
statements of historical fact included in the MD&A are forward-looking
statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations and beliefs
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no
assurance that they will prove correct. For information regarding the risks and
uncertainties that could cause such forward-looking statements to prove
incorrect, see "Projections and Other Forward-Looking Information" in Item 1 of
the 2002 Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
For general information concerning critical accounting policies as well
as estimates, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in the
2002 Form 10-K.
In June 2001, the Accounting Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued an exposure draft of a proposed
Statement of Position ("SOP") entitled ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN COSTS AND
ACTIVITIES RELATED TO PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Under the proposed SOP, the
Company would expense major maintenance costs as incurred and prohibit the use
of the deferral of the entire cost of a planned major maintenance activity.
Currently, the costs incurred to drydock the vessels are deferred and amortized
on a straight-line basis over the period to the next drydocking, generally 30 to
36 months. Management has determined that this SOP, if issued as proposed, would
have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. In the year of
adoption, the Company would write off the net book value of the deferred
drydocking costs and record the write off as a change in accounting principle
($23.2 million as of June 30, 2003). Additionally, all drydock expenditures
incurred after the adoption of the SOP would be expensed as incurred.
REVENUE OVERVIEW
The Company derives its revenue from three main lines of business -
Seabulk Offshore, Seabulk Tankers, and Seabulk Towing. Seabulk Offshore, the
Company's domestic and international offshore energy support business, accounted
for approximately 49% and 54% of Company revenue for the three months ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Marine transportation, under the name Seabulk
Tankers, consists of the Company's Jones Act domestic tanker business, in which
it owns nine petroleum and chemical product carriers in the domestic coastwise
trade and leases one vessel under a bareboat charter. Seabulk Tankers accounted
for approximately 40% and 36% of Company revenue for the three months ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Seabulk Towing, the Company's domestic harbor
and offshore towing business, accounted for approximately 11% and 10% of Company
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
18
SEABULK OFFSHORE
Revenue from the Company's offshore energy support operations is
primarily a function of the size of the Company's fleet, vessel day rates or
charter rates, and fleet utilization. Rates and utilization are primarily a
function of offshore exploration, development, and production activities, which
are in turn heavily dependent upon the price of crude oil and natural gas.
Further, in certain areas where the Company conducts offshore energy support
operations (particularly the U.S. Gulf of Mexico), contracts for the utilization
of offshore energy support vessels commonly include termination provisions with
three- to five-day notice requirements and no termination penalty. As a result,
companies engaged in offshore energy support operations (including the Company)
are particularly sensitive to changes in market demand.
As the Company's offshore energy support fleet gets older, the
Company's strategy is to look for opportunities to upgrade its offshore fleet to
higher-value, newer vessels and to reduce the number of older and smaller
crewboats in its fleet. The Company sold 15 offshore energy support vessels
during the first half of 2003 for an aggregate total of $7.9 million and a gain
of approximately $1.3 million. The Company sold 17 offshore energy support
vessels during 2002 for an aggregate total of $6.8 million and a gain of
approximately $55,000.
Periods for collection of receivables in certain foreign areas of
operation in the offshore business tend to be longer than is usual for the
United States. The Company regularly monitors all such receivables accounts and
believes that it has accrued adequate reserves where necessary.
19
The following tables set forth, by primary area of operation, average
day rates achieved by the offshore energy fleet owned or operated by the Company
and average utilization for the periods indicated. Average day rates are
calculated by dividing total revenue by the number of days worked. Utilization
percentages are based upon the number of working days over a 365/366-day year
and the number of vessels in the fleet on the last day of the quarter.

21
Domestic revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was adversely
affected by the continued slowdown in natural gas and crude oil drilling
activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Despite relatively high natural gas prices
and dwindling inventories, exploration and production companies in the U.S. Gulf
of Mexico were unwilling to invest in new projects until there was clear
evidence of the sustainability of commodity prices and an increase in energy
demand. Although there is still uncertainty in the market, the rise in both
crude oil and natural gas prices that began in the fourth quarter of 2002, the
temporary shutoff of Iraqi and Venezuelan imports, dwindling inventories of both
crude oil and natural gas as the winter of 2002/2003 turned out to be much
colder than expected, and other factors, should eventually aid a recovery in the
Gulf of Mexico offshore vessel market. In the meantime, the Company is exploring
charter opportunities in Mexico, which remains an active market. On the other
hand, some exploration and drilling companies have reduced expectations for
energy prospects in the mature Gulf of Mexico market. These two factors may
prolong the slump in this market and limit the extent of a recovery. The recent
increase in worldwide crude oil inventories and subsequent decline in crude oil
prices following the conclusion of the war phase in Iraq may also impact any
recovery.
International offshore revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003
decreased slightly from the same period in the prior year. In West Africa, the
demand for vessels, and hence utilization, remained strong as this is an
oil-driven deepwater market with longer time horizons and increasing exploration
and production budgets primarily from oil company majors. The Company redeployed
one vessel and added one newbuild vessel to its West African operations during
the first half of 2003. The recent unrest in Nigeria did not have a significant
impact on its operations.
International vessel demand is primarily driven by crude oil
exploration and production. During the second quarter of 2003, crude oil prices
and demand remained firm. The Company expects international exploration and
production spending to continue to increase in West Africa, which should
strengthen vessel demand in that area. Revenue decreased from the prior year for
the Company's Middle East operations as both vessel count and utilization
decreased. In Southeast Asia, revenue increased slightly from the year-earlier
period due to an increase in utilization.
Day rates currently available to the Company's anchor handling tug
supply and supply boats average approximately $5,000 for Domestic, $7,100 for
West Africa, $3,400 for the Middle East and $5,300 for Southeast Asia.
The Company had two offshore vessels in "held-for-sale" status as of
June 30, 2003. The balance is included in other assets on the condensed
consolidated balance sheet.
SEABULK TANKERS
Revenue from the Company's marine transportation services is derived
from the operations of ten tankers carrying crude oil, petroleum products and
chemical products in the U.S. Jones Act trade.
The Company's tanker fleet operates on either long-term time charters,
bareboat charters, or pursuant to contracts of affreightment. The Company
currently has six tankers operating under long-term time charters, three on
contracts of affreightment and one under a bareboat charter.
22
The following table sets forth the number of vessels and revenue for
the Company's petroleum and chemical product carriers:
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
--------------------------
2003 2002
------- -------
Number of vessels owned at end of period 10 10
Revenue (in thousands) ................. $61,927 $57,880
Tanker revenue increased by 7.0% in the first half of 2003 compared to
the same period in the prior year as a result of improved rates and higher
utilization.
PETROLEUM TANKERS. Demand for the Company's crude oil and petroleum
product transportation services is dependent both on production and refining
levels in the United States as well as on domestic consumer and commercial
consumption of petroleum products and chemicals. The Company owned eight
petroleum product tankers at June 30, 2003. Five of these are double-hull,
state-of-the-art vessels, of which two have chemical-carrying capability. Since
January 2002, a major oil company charterer has had exclusive possession and
control of one of the petroleum product tankers and is responsible for all
operating and drydocking expenses of the vessel. That bareboat charter is
expected to be converted to a transportation contract during the third quarter
of 2003. In the third quarter of 2002, a vessel previously trading under a
voyage contract entered into a three-year time charter with a major oil company,
and two of the Company's existing time charters were extended through July 10,
2010. Under a time charter, fuel and port charges are borne by the charterer and
are therefore not reflected in the charter rates. Consequently, both the revenue
and cost side of time charter vessels are reduced by the amount of the fuel and
port charges. The Company's Jones Act fleet is benefiting from a tightening
domestic tanker market, which should see a further strengthening as OPA 90
forces out older, single-hull vessels. None of the Company's single-hull vessels
are scheduled for retirement under OPA 90 before 2007.
CHEMICAL TANKERS. Demand for the Company's industrial chemical
transportation services generally coincides with overall domestic economic
activity. The Company operated two chemical tankers and one of the five
double-hull vessels in the chemical trade as of June 30, 2003. The two chemical
tankers are double-bottom ships. The higher day rate environment for petroleum
tankers is carrying over into the chemical tanker market as charterers look for
quality tonnage to replace older single-hull vessels.
SEABULK TOWING
Revenue derived from the Company's tug operations is primarily a
function of the number of tugs available to provide services, the rates charged
for their services, the volume of vessel traffic requiring docking and other
ship-assist services and competition. Vessel traffic, in turn, is largely a
function of the general trade activity in the region served by the port.
The following table summarizes certain operating information for the
Company's tugs:
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
--------------------------
2003 2002
------- -------
Number of tugs at end of period 28 31
Revenue (in thousands) ........ $18,301 $16,043
Towing revenue increased 14.1% in the first half of 2003 compared to
the same period in the prior year due to increased vessel traffic in certain of
the Company's ports and other factors, including higher rates.
The Company has been the sole provider of docking services in Port
Canaveral, the smallest of its harbor towing markets. As a result of a recent
proceeding before the Federal Maritime Commission, the Company is expected to
23
have a competitor in Port Canaveral. Port Canaveral Towing intends to continue
its operations at Port Canaveral.
OVERVIEW OF OPERATING EXPENSES AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
The Company's operating expenses are primarily a function of fleet size
and utilization. The most significant expense categories are crew payroll and
benefits, maintenance and repairs, fuel, insurance and charter hire. For general
information concerning these categories of operating expenses as well as capital
expenditures, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, Overview of Operating Expenses and Capital
Expenditures" in the 2002 Form 10-K.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2002
REVENUE. Revenue decreased 2.1% to $79.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 from $81.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Offshore energy support revenue decreased 11.0% to $39.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $44.1 million for the same period in
2002, primarily due to reduced revenue from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the West
Africa operating region. Revenue from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico decreased during
the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002
primarily due to reduced exploration and production activity as oil companies
were unwilling to invest in new projects until there was clear evidence of the
sustainability of commodity prices and an increase in energy demand. The
decrease in West Africa revenue was driven by lower day rates and a reduction in
vessel count.
Marine transportation revenue increased 7.1% to $31.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 from $29.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2002. This increase is primarily due to an improvement in rates and
higher utilization.
Towing revenue increased 12.9% to $9.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 from $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
The increase in revenue is due to increased vessel traffic in certain of the
Company's ports and other factors, including higher rates.
24
OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses decreased 8.9% to $42.6 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $46.7 million for the same period
in 2002. The decrease is due to a variety of factors, including a reduction in
crewing payroll in the struggling U.S. Gulf of Mexico market, as well as strong
payroll expense control in the towing and tanker segments. Repairs and
maintenance decreased as there were major repairs in the tanker segment for the
same period in 2002. Fuel and consumables decreased in the West Africa region as
the passenger count on the vessels decreased. As a percentage of revenue,
operating expenses decreased to 53.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2003
from 57.2% for the 2002 period.
OVERHEAD EXPENSES. Overhead expenses decreased 3.1% to $9.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $9.7 million for the same period in
2002, primarily due to a decrease in professional fees and other overhead. Other
overhead decreased as a result of a reduction in the bad debt reserve. As a
percentage of revenue, overhead expenses decreased to 11.8% for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 compared to 11.9% for the same period in 2002.
DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND DRYDOCKING. Depreciation, amortization
and drydocking decreased 4.3% to $15.9 million for the three months ended June
30, 2003 from $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 primarily
due to a reduction in drydockings in the offshore energy segment as the Company
has been selling its older and smaller vessels.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE. Net interest expense decreased 34.0% to $8.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $12.3 million for the same
period in 2002. The decrease is primarily due to a lower debt balance and lower
interest rates as a result of the recapitalization in September 2002.
OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income, net decreased to $0.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to other income, net of $1.1 million
for the same period in 2002, primarily due to a smaller gain on vessel sales in
2003 compared to the 2002 period.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
REVENUE. Revenue decreased 4.7% to $157.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 from $164.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Offshore energy support revenue decreased 11.8% to $77.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $87.4 million for the same period in
2002, primarily due to reduced revenue from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Revenue
from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to the same period in 2002 primarily due to reduced exploration and
production activity as oil companies were unwilling to invest in new projects
until there was clear evidence of the sustainability of commodity prices and an
increase in energy demand.
Marine transportation revenue remains substantially the same at $61.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $61.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Towing revenue increased 14.1% to $18.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 from $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
The increase in revenue is due to increased vessel traffic in certain of the
Company's ports and other factors, including higher rates.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses decreased 9.2% to $84.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $92.5 million for the same period in
2002. The decrease is due to a variety of factors, including the elimination of
operating expenses for the Company's Sun State Marine Services subsidiary, which
was discontinued in March 2002, a reduction in crewing payroll in the struggling
U.S. Gulf of Mexico market, a decrease in repairs and maintenance for the
Company's tanker segment due to major repairs done in the first half of 2002,
and a decrease in fuel and consumables in the West Africa operating region. As a
percentage of revenue, operating expenses decreased to 53.4% for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 from 56.1% for the 2002 period.
25
OVERHEAD EXPENSES. Overhead expenses remain substantially the same at
$18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $18.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND DRYDOCKING. Depreciation, amortization
and drydocking decreased 2.3% to $32.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2003 from $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 primarily due to
a reduction in drydockings in the offshore energy segment as the Company has
been selling its older and smaller vessels.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE. Net interest expense decreased 35.5% to $16.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $24.9 million for the same
period in 2002. The decrease is primarily due to a lower debt balance and lower
interest rates as a result of the recapitalization in September 2002.
OTHER INCOME, NET. Other income, net decreased to $0.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in
2002, primarily due to a smaller gain on asset sales in 2003 compared to the
same period in 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOWS. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $33.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $34.8 million for the
same period in 2002. Net income improved by $10.9 million over the 2002 period
as a result of the factors mentioned above. This was partially offset by a
decrease of $7.6 million between the 2002 and 2003 period in trade accounts and
other receivables. The collections from the Company's protection and indemnity
insurance club for settlement of outstanding insurance claims were higher in the
first half of 2002 versus the 2003 period.
Net cash used in investing activities was $21.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2002.
The increase in cash used in investing activities is due to the cash purchases
of the SEABULK AFRICA in January 2003 and the SEABULK IPANEMA in April 2003, and
the initial down payment on the first Brazilian newbuild in April 2003 (See Note
3).
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June
30, 2003 was $0.2 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of
$28.3 million for the same period in 2002. The decrease in cash used in
financing activities is attributable to larger payments in 2002 on the previous
term loans and from the proceeds of the sale leaseback of the SEABULK AFRICA in
April 2003 (See Note 3).
RECENT EXPENDITURES AND FUTURE CASH REQUIREMENTS. During the first six
months of 2003, the Company incurred $29.6 million in capital expenditures for
fleet improvements and drydocking costs of which approximately $21 million was
for the purchase of the SEABULK AFRICA and the SEABULK IPANEMA, as well as the
down payment on the Brazilian newbuild. For the remainder of 2003, maintenance
capital expenditures are expected to aggregate approximately $16 million. The
Company received net proceeds of approximately $13.3 million from the
sale-leaseback of the SEABULK AFRICA in April of 2003. Total 2003 expenditures
of approximately $46.0 million will substantially cover all of the Company's
drydocking requirements for 64 vessels during 2003.
26
Long-term debt consisted of the following at June 30, 2003:
OUTSTANDING BALANCE
2003 AS OF INTEREST RATE AS OF
FACILITY PAYMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 MATURITY AUGUST 1, 2003
-------- -------- ------------------- -------- --------------------
Bank Tranche A revolver $5.0 million $93.7 million 2007 5.61%
Bank Tranche B term loan $0.0 million $80.0 million 2007 6.11%
Title XI Financing Bonds $3.7 million $230.8 million 2005 to 2024 5.86% to 10.10%
Other notes payable $3.3 million $25.2 million 2003 to 2011 5.81% to 8.50%
In addition to the revolver balance of $93.7 million, there are $1.3
million in outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2003. The Company is
required to make semi-annual principal repayments of the revolver commencing six
months after September 2002 with the final payment due in September 2007. In
connection with the Notes offering, the bank Tranche A revolver has been amended
and the bank Tranche B term loan has been prepaid and cancelled (See Note 2).
The Company's capital requirements arise primarily from its need to
service debt, fund working capital, maintain and improve its vessels, and make
vessel acquisitions. The Company's expected 2003 capital requirements for debt
service, vessel maintenance and fleet improvements total approximately $93
million. The Company expects that cash flow from operations will continue to be
a significant source of funds for its working capital and capital requirements.
Management continues implementation of certain initiatives in an effort
to improve profitability and liquidity. These initiatives include (1) selective
acquisitions and charters of additional vessels, (2) repositioning certain
vessels to take advantage of higher day rates, (3) selling unprofitable vessels,
and (4) eliminating non-essential operating and overhead expenses.
While the Company believes that these initiatives are sound and
attainable, the possibility exists that unforeseen events or business or
regulatory conditions, including deterioration in its markets, could prevent the
Company from meeting targeted operating results. If unforeseen events or
business or regulatory conditions prevent the Company from meeting targeted
operating results, it will continue to pursue alternative plans including
additional asset sales, additional reductions in operating expenses and deferral
of capital expenditures, which should enable the Company to satisfy essential
capital requirements. While the Company believes it could successfully complete
alternative plans, if necessary, there can be no assurance that such
alternatives would be available or that the Company would be successful in their
implementation.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The rate of inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's
operations. Moreover, if inflation remains at its recent levels, it is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's operations for the
foreseeable future.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Accounting Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued an exposure draft of a proposed
Statement of Position ("SOP") entitled ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN COSTS AND
ACTIVITIES RELATED TO PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. Under the proposed SOP, the
Company would expense major maintenance costs as incurred and prohibit the use
of the deferral of the entire cost of a planned major maintenance activity.
27
Currently, the costs incurred to drydock the Company's vessels are deferred and
amortized on a straight-line basis over the period to the next drydocking,
generally 30 to 36 months. Management has determined that this SOP, if issued as
proposed, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In the year of adoption, the Company would write-off the net book value of the
deferred drydocking costs and record the write-off as a change in accounting
principle ($23.2 million as of June 30, 2003). Additionally, all drydock
expenditures incurred after the adoption of the SOP would be expensed as
incurred.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, RESCISSION OF FASB
STATEMENTS NO. 4, 44 AND 64, AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 14, AND TECHNICAL
CORRECTIONS, which eliminates the requirement that gains and losses from the
extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an
extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect, and eliminates an
inconsistency between the accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and certain
lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to
sale-leaseback transactions. Subsequent to the January 1, 2003 adoption date of
the standard, the Company will be required to reclassify to continuing
operations amounts previously reported as extinguishments of debt.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES, which addresses the financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities.
SFAS No. 146 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002.
The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"),
GUARANTOR'S ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR GUARANTEES, INCLUDING
INDIRECT GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS OF OTHERS. FIN 45 expands on the accounting
guidance of Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and incorporates without change the
provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 34, which is being superseded. FIN 45
elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees,
including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies
that at the time a company issues a guarantee, it must recognize an initial
liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes
under that guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and
annual financial statements. The initial recognition and initial measurement
provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after
December 31, 2002, regardless of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure
requirements in the Interpretation are effective for financial statements of
interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, ACCOUNTING FOR
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS
123 to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement
amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 to require expanded disclosure of
the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based
employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual
and interim financial statements.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46,
"CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES, AN INTERPRETATION OF ARB NO. 51"
(FIN46). FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated
by the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. The primary
beneficiary is defined as the party which, as a result of holding its variable
interest, absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a
majority of its expected residual returns, or both. FIN 46 is effective for all
new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For
variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the
provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period
beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has not yet determined the impact
that the adoption of FIN 46 will have on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES OF MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates,
which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.
The Company's policy is not to use financial instruments for trading or other
speculative purposes, and the Company is not a party to any leveraged financial
instruments. The Company manages market risk by restricting the use of
derivative financial instruments to infrequent purchases of forward contracts
for the purchase of fuel oil for its carrier fleet. These contracts have been
terminated as of December 31, 2001.
The Jones Act restricts the U.S. coastwise trade to vessels owned,
operated and crewed substantially by U.S. citizens. The Jones Act continues to
be in effect and supported by Congress and the Administration. However, it is
possible that the Company's advantage as a U.S. citizen operator of Jones Act
vessels could be somewhat eroded over time as there continue to be periodic
efforts and attempts by foreign interests to circumvent certain aspects of the
Jones Act.
EXPOSURE TO SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATEs. In connection with the Senior
Notes offering, the Company has amended and restated its existing credit
facility (see Note 2). The amended credit facility consists of an $80 million
revolving credit facility and has a five-year maturity. The interest rate is
currently 5.11%. A hypothetical 2.0% increase in interest rates on $80 million
of debt would cause the Company's interest expense to increase on average
approximately $1.2 million per year over the term of the loans, with a
corresponding decrease in income before taxes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company maintains systems of disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) designed to
ensure that the Company is able to record, process, summarize and report, within
the applicable time periods, the information required in the Company's annual
and quarterly reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management of
the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that
evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
accomplish their purpose. No significant changes were made to the Company's
internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these
controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, nor were any corrective
actions with respect to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
necessary subsequent to that date.
Attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 hereto are certifications by the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are
required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The information set
forth in this Item 4 should be read in conjunction with these Section 302
certifications.
