a mong the resources thru McDermott's engineers are
Xja* studying are wave energy, undersea mining, geothermal energy from beneath the sea floor, and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). All would require engineering, fabrication, and installation capabilities similar to ones McDermott now lias. Geothermal energy, for example, which is heat from beneath the earth's surface, might involve only slight modification to existing platform designs. An OTEC plant.
The Marine Pipeline Division set a new record when Lay Barge 29 installed a 12-inch pipeline in more than 1.000 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico.
on the other hand, would be even larger than the platforms for 1.000 feet of water that we have already built. McDermott is working on conceptual studies for such a plant, but as yet OTEC remains an undeveloped technology. We believe that McDermott's expertise, equipment, and facilities will give us a natural advantage in helping to develop new energy resources in a marine environment.
Mexico--A recent study indicates that proven reserves off the east coast of Mexico are more than 20 billion barrels. Thus, earlier in the year, McDermott formed a joint-venrure company,
Lan-Dermott. with a major supplier of diverse equipment to the xMexican oil industry. Lan-Dermott will design, manufacture, fabricate, assemble, repair, and market offshore oil and gas platforms, packaged offshore drilling rigs, production modules, and related products. The government of Mexico plans to develop its discoveries at a deliberate pace.
North Sea -- Activity has been slowing for several years, in part because policies by governments ofNorth Sea countries have created uncertainty about the economics of production. We are hopeful that the new Conservative government in the United Kingdom will provide a better climate for oil and gas development. Also, at the sixth round of bidding on North Sea tracts, more than 100 companies submitted 55 applications covering all 46 blocks, indicating that interest in the area is high. This should mean more work for the Company.

19"9 VERSUS 1978
Revenue* for the twelve months ended March 31. 1979. increased by >1.850.853.000 over those of the twelve months ended March 31. 1978. This increase is attributable to the revenues of The Babcock & Wilcox Company's ( B&W) operations (power generation svsterns and equipment, engineered materials and other operations) in the' amount of S2.047,025,000 which are hill v consolidated for the first time in the

Decrease in other income is due mainly to losses in translation of foreign currency for the twelve months ended March 31. 19~9. versus gains in translation of foreign currencv for the

Interest income for the twelve months ended March 31, 1979, increased by 520.702.000 over that of the twleve

This increase results from the consolidation of interest income of the power generation systems and equipment, engineered materials and other operations along with changes relating to the interest bearing investments of the marine and onshore construction operations, as well as the
March 31. I9~8. This increase is primarily due to the fact that a greater percentage of consolidated earnings were from domestic rather than foreign sources, and that certain foreign losses resulted in no tax benefits, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 54% for fiscal 1979 compared to 54% for fiscal 1978.
warranty and other related design and fabrication problems experienced in certain nuclear contracts. Of the total increase, SI,899,564,000 reflects the . costs and expenses of the power generation systems and equipment, engineered materials and other operations, offset by costs and expenses of the marine and onshore construction operations which decreased by $32,993,000.
Costs and expenses of the power generation systems and equipment, engineered materials and other operations were 93% ofrelated revenues for the twelve months ended March 31, 1979- Costs and expenses of the marine and onshore construction operations
were 97% of related revenues for the twelve months ended March 31,1979, as compared to 85% for the twelve months
ended March 31, 1978, producing lower profit margins in both the North American and foreign areas of the marine and onshore construction operations. The continuation of the slowdown in worldwide hydrocarbon development in offshore areas has resulted in lowerprofit margins reflecting intense competition and a lower rate of utilization of the Company's equipment in substantially all of the Company's markets. The Company

Interest expense for the twelve months ended March 31, 1979, increased 525.336.000 over that of the twelve months ended March 31, 1978. Approximatelyone-halfof this increase is attributable to the consolidation of interest expense on debt carried by the
power generation systems and equipment, engineered materials and
other operations. The remaining increase is attributable to the additional borrowings related to the investment in B & V, new debt incurred during the current year and fluctuations in the revolving credit and term loan agreement, along with changes in the interest rates prevailing in the respective periods.
Equity in earnings of affiliated companies for the twelve months ended
March 31, 1979 decreased $15,240,000 from that of the twelve months ended March 31, 1978. For the twelve months ended March 31, 1978, the Company reported its share of its equity in the net income of B & W in the amount of $20,364,000. The principal increase in the current twelve months' period, other than the equity income of the power generation systems and equipment, engineered materials and industrial products operations, was that of the
1978 VERSUS 1977
Revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1978, increased $69,870,000 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31,1977. This increase marks the. culmination offive years of extraordinary growth of worldwide hydrocarbon' development in offshore areas, peaking in the third quarter of fiscal year 1978. Domestic revenues increased to an all-time high, while foreign revenues decreased.
Costs and expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31. 1978 were 83% of revenues as compared to 79% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1977. This increase was attributable to lower utilization of Company-operated equipment, particularly in the North Sea, South East Asia and \Test Africa areas, resulting from a slowdown in offshore activity and increased competition in foreign markets.
Interest expense increased $ 10,730,000 principally as a result erfthe additional borrowings related to the investment in B &
The increase in equity in wming: of affiliated companies in the fiscal year 1978 is principally attributable to the Company's share of the earnings of B & W. The Company increased its .

The Company ncluded its equity in the earnings of i & \v as other income in the amount J 520.364,000.
Additional increases in other income were attributable to an increase in interest income of 512.300.000. consistent with changes in interest ->eanng investments as well`as interest rates thereon, prevailing in the respective periods; further increases were attributable to a net gain on foreign
currency translation of Si2.400.000 as well as workmen's compensation premium adjustments, gains and losses on disposal of assets, royalty income, bad debt recoveries and inventory adjustments.
Domestic operations accounted for a greater proportion of income before provision for income taxes during fiscal year 1978 than was the case in the prior fiscal year. United States investment tax credits for fiscal year 1978 were less than those for the .prior fiscal year. Also, a .greater proportion of income before taxes attributable to foreign operations was generated in geopolitical areas subject to higher tax fates. Additionally, an income tax holiday applicable in fiscal
year 197" was not applicable in the fiscal year 1978. These combined factors increased the effective income tax rate for the fiscal yeaT ended March 31, 1978, to 34% as compared to 27% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1977. producing provisions for income taxes of 580,993,000 and 570,116,000, respectively.
Net income was increased for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1977 by an extraordinary item of 5132,000 resulting from utilization of foreign tax benefits from an operating loss carryforward. There-were no extraordinary' items in fiscal year 1978.

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and aLl significant subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Investments in affiliated (20% to 50% owned) companies arc accounted for on the equity method. Certain amounts previously reported in the consolidated financial statements at March 31. 19"$ have been reclassified to conform with the presentation at March 31. 1979.
Contracts and Revenue Recognition
Marine and onshore construction contract revenues are generally recognized as contractual obligations arc completed. Revenues are recognized on certain marine contracts containing identifiable separate projects when such projects are completed and accepted by the customer. Revenues from time or day-rate basis marine contracts are recognized as earned. General and administrative costs are included in marine and onshore contract costs. Current provisions are made for all known or anticipated losses on marine and onshore construction contracts which have not been completed.
Power generation systems and equipment contract revenues and related costs are principally recognized on a percentage of completion method for individual contracts or components thereofbased upon work performed or the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs, as applicable to the product or activity involved. Revenues so recorded are includedin unbilled revenues until invoiced to customers under the terms ofthe contracts. Contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in income in the period when such estimates are revised.
The Company is usually entitled to financial settlements relative to the individual circumstances of deferrals or cancellations ofpower generation systems and equipment contracts. The Company does not recognize such settlements or claims for additional compensation until final settlement is reached.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounts of foreign subsidiaries maintained in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars based on current exchange rates at the end of the fiscal year for assets and liabilities except for inventories, prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment, and.stockholders' equity for which historical exchange rates are used. Average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal years are used for revenues and expenses other than depreciation and prepaid expenses. Exchange gains and losses are recognized in the year of occurrence. Included in other income are losses of $4,739,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1979, and gains of $3,460,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1978.
Depreciation, Maintenance and Repairs
Property, plant and equipment is depredated by the straight-line method, using estimated useful lives of 8 to 40 years for buildings and 2 to 20 years for machinery and equipment.
Maintenance, repairs and renewals which do not materially prolong the useful life ofan asset are expensed as incurred except for drydocking costs for the Company's marine fleet. Under the accounting method for accrual of drydocking costs, estimated costs are provided and charged to operations currently.
Amortization of Excess of Cost Over Fair Value of Net Assets of Purchased Businesses
The excess of the Company's investment in B&W over the fair value of net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over forty* years. Excess cost arising from business combinations prior to 19"1 is not being amortized because, in the opinion of management, there has been no diminution in value.
Warranty Expense
The Company* provides for estimated future warranty expense which may* be required to satisfy contractual requirements, primarily ofthe power generation systems and equipment segment. Such provision isaccrued relative to revenue recognition on the respective contracts.
'y
Research and Development
The cost of research and development which is not performed on specific contracts is charged to operations as incurred. Such expense was $28,464,000 in fiscal 1979.
Earnings Per Share
Primary earnings per common share are computed after preferred dividend requirements and are based on the weighted average number ofcommon and common equivalent shares (stock options) outstanding during the year. Fully diluted earnings per common share assume the conversion ofthe convertible subordinated debentures and convertible preferred stock.
NOTE.2 -- ACQUISITION OF THE BABCOCK & WILCOX COMPANY
In'September 1977, the Company acquired approximately 4,800,000 common shares of B & W for S62.50per share
pursuant to a tender offer. An additional 1,205,600 shares had been acquiredpreviously in open market transactions.
These acquisitions represented approximately 49% ofthe B & W shares outstanding- Qa March 31,1978, the Company
acquired the remaining outstanding shares of B &-W in exchange for 6,31.7,545 shares of Series A $2.20 Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock and 6,317,545 shares ofSeries B$2.60;CumuLacive Preferred Stock.'The total cost of the
acquisition, which has been accounted for as a purchase,;was approximately $748,000,000, including expenses.
The assets and liabilities ofB & W were consolidatedwiththe Company's afMarch 31!, 1978. The results ofoperations
of B'.& "W have been fully consolidated for ;1979- ` i ; : ; J
' . - r :
. If B & W had been combined with the Company throughout' 1978^ pro forma-unaudited revenues and net income
would have been $3,216,000,000and $193,000,000, respectively: pro forma unaudited net income per common share,
primary and fully diluted,wouldhave been.'*5.09 and $4:53,-respectively./ - '

NOTE 8 -- CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Antitrust Investigation -- On December 14, 1978 a Federal grand jury in New Orleans, Louisiana indicted the Company. Brown & Root, Inc. and certain of their officers on charges of conspiring to allocate contracts and to fix prices and contract terms for marine construction projects in violation of Section I of the Sherman Act during a period from 1960 through 19" 5. The Company and Brown & Root, Inc. each pleaded nolo contendere to the charges and were each fined S 1,000.000. This might lead to civil antitrust treble damage claims which might have a material adverse effect upon the Company.
Litigation -- The Company and certain of its officers, directors and subsidiaries are defendants in several legal proceedings claiming amounts which are material, alleging, among other things, liability for damages allegedly caused by a nuclear incident at the nuclear power plant on Three Mile Island outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and violations of federal securities laws in connection with the acquisition of B & W. It is the opinion of management and of general counsel that the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Operating Leases--The following is a schedule offuture minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year at March 31, 1979:
