The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area.  Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

FORM 10-K EXTENSION

On December December: see month.  29, 2004, McDermott received an initial comment letter from the staff of the Division of Corporate Finance of the SEC containing questions and comments regarding the Company's 2003 annual report on Form 10-K. The Company actively responded to the SEC staff's questions, and believes it satisfactorily answered the items contained in the initial correspondence and a January January: see month.  26, 2005 follow-up letter follow-up letter ncarta recordatoria . However, on March 11, 2005, McDermott received a second follow-up letter from the SEC seeking additional information regarding the Company's accounting for certain loss-generating EPIC projects (the three Spars, Belanak and Carina Carina (kərē`nə) [Lat.,=the keel], southern constellation, representing the keel of the ancient constellation Argo Navis, or Ship of the Argonauts. Carina contains Canopus, the second brightest star in the sky.  Aries projects) in the Marine Construction Services segment. Each of these projects was complete at December 31, 2004 and has been delivered to its respective customer. The SEC staff has questioned whether McDermott's accounting for these projects using the percentage-of-completion method percentage-of-completion method

A method of recognizing revenues and costs from a long-term project in relation to the percentage completed during the course of the project.
 was appropriate, or if the completed-contract method completed-contract method

A method of recognizing revenues and costs from a long-term project in which profit is recorded only when the project has been completed.
 of accounting should have been used. Under completed-contract accounting, revenues and profit are not recognized on a project until completion; however, under both methods, project losses are recorded in periods when the losses become evident. McDermott will continue working with the SEC staff to resolve the remaining open items. The Company is utilizing a 15-day filing extension for its December 31, 2004 annual report on Form 10-K in an effort to ensure McDermott's Form 10-K filing reflects the appropriate accounting.

McDermott's management believes that under either accounting approach, the Company's operating income Operating Income

Notes:

, net income, cash flow, liquidity and balance sheet will be unaffected as of the period ended December 31, 2004. Accordingly, McDermott is announcing its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2004 below. If McDermott had accounted for its financial results for these projects using the completed-contract accounting method, reported revenues and costs would have changed materially during the affected years of 2001 through 2004. McDermott has included Exhibit A as part of this release showing management's assessment of the difference in revenues and pretax income pretax income

INTERNAL CONTROLS

McDermott's management has determined that as of December 31, 2004, J. Ray has remediated the previously disclosed material weakness regarding J. Ray's ability to forecast accurately total costs to complete fixed-price contracts, primarily first-of-a-kind projects, which were disclosed in McDermott's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and in its 2004 Form 10-Q Form 10-Q

 filings. The remediation of this weakness as of December 31, 2004 was the result of improved controls throughout the bidding, contracting and project management process and implementation of new reporting procedures, improved information systems designs and enhanced communication processes throughout the J. Ray organization.

During March 2005, McDermott's management completed its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act See SOX.  of 2002, and determined the Company did not maintain effective controls over certain account reconciliations and access to application programs and data, which deficiencies management has determined represent material weaknesses. Specifically, account reconciliations in the Marine Construction Services segment in the Eastern Hemisphere Eastern Hemisphere

 were not being properly completed. Further, as of December 31, 2004, the Company identified control deficiencies at its business units with respect to access to financial application programs and data. As a result of these material weaknesses, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is expected to issue an adverse report related to the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting (which is different from the independent auditor's report Auditor's Report

Additionally, if as a result of the ongoing discussions with the SEC staff, the Company determines to change its accounting for the loss-generating EPIC projects mentioned above to the completed-contract accounting methodology, management will evaluate the impact that such a change may have on its report of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

While the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2004, as a result of the material weaknesses noted above, McDermott's management believes that McDermott's financial statements present fairly in all material respects, the financial position and the results of operations of the Company.
