We have audited the consolidated financial statements of McDermott

results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2002, and have issued our report thereon dated March

Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, The Babcock & Wilcox Company, losses related
to certain construction projects at the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,

Accounts. In our opinion, these financial statement schedules presents fairly,

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to present the
unconsolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
McDermott International, Inc. (Parent Company Only). Investments in subsidiaries

NOTE 2 - CONTINGENCIES

McDermott International, Inc. is contingently liable under standby letters of
credit totaling $22,854,000 at December 31, 2002, all of which were issued in
the normal course of business. In addition, at the time of The Babcock & Wilcox
Company ("B&W") bankruptcy filing, McDermott International, Inc. was a maker or
guarantor of outstanding letters of credit aggregating approximately
$146,500,000 ($9,400,000 at December 31, 2002) which were issued in connection
with the business operations of B&W and its subsidiaries. Although new letters
of credit have been issued under B&W's Debtor in Possession ("DIP") Credit
Facility to backstop or replace these preexisting letters of credit, McDermott
International, Inc. has agreed to indemnify and reimburse B&W and its filing
subsidiaries for any customer draw on any letter of credit issued under the DIP
Credit Facility to backstop or replace any such preexisting letter of credit for
which B&W has exposure and for the associated letter of credit fees paid under
the facility. As of December 31, 2002, approximately $51,400,000 in letters of
credit have been issued under the DIP Credit Facility to replace or backstop
these preexisting letters of credit. McDermott International, Inc. has
guaranteed a $2,500,000 line of credit, of which $5,000 is outstanding at
December 31, 2002, to a certain unconsolidated joint venture.

McDermott International, Inc. has agreed to indemnify our two surety companies
for obligations of various of its subsidiaries, including B&W and several of its
subsidiaries, under surety bonds issued to meet bid bond and performance bond
requirements imposed by their customers. As of December 31, 2002, the aggregate
outstanding amount of surety bonds that were guaranteed by McDermott
International, Inc. and issued in connection with the business operations of its
subsidiaries was approximately $121,000,000, of which $107,700,000 related to
the business operations of B&W and its subsidiaries.

its subsidiaries for construction projects in the ordinary course of business.
