To Our Stockholders:
Fiscal 1982 was a record year in terms both of revenues and net earnings despite the deepening recession which continued to depress certain of the company's business segments.
Revenues exceeded $4.8 billion and net income doubled from fiscal 1981 to $213 million. Primary ear nings per share were $4.98 com pared to $1.89 in 1981. The quarterly eas"h dividend on the common stock was increased from $0.40 to $0.45 per share, or-12.5 percent. The year was highlighted by substantially higher revenues and operating income on the part of Engineered Materials and significant improvement in Marine Construction Services. .Power Generation Systems and Equip ment continued to perform satisfactorily under the very dif- ficult market conditions that have prevailed since 1974.
Engineered Materials
Engineered Materials' revenues were approximately $310 million higher than last year, and operating income increased by $198 million, reflecting strong de mand and improved pricing for oil country tubing, which has become one of this segment's principal pro ducts. Higher operating levels, cost reduction programs, and the ; elimination of certain-low margin .
and unprofitable products have contributed to the improved results.
While the demand for oil coun try tubing has softened in recent months, we expect that our sector of the market, heavy-upset produc tion tubing for deep wells of ex treme pressure, heat, and corro sion, will remain relatively strong. We also expect that as the economy improves, demand for other.Iines of our pressure and mechanical tubing will strengthen. At present, we are spending about $100 million to add a continuous caster and a quench and temper operation which will make us more cost effective and improve the quality control in our steelmaking facilities/
Insulating Products, also part of Engineered.Materials, is a market leader in insulating firebrick and ceramic fibers. Of special significance this year was the introduction of rapid fire technology (RFTTM) castables, a new type of furnace lining. The RFT castables have all the advan tages of conventional castables but can safely be heated ten times faster.

ment. That is, we have upgraded the cranes on several of our con ventional derrick barges. The enlarged capacity of the barges is in response to a continued trend in marine construction. To minimize risk and save time and money, lifts are becoming heavier. As plat forms become bigger, a necessity as we move to deeper water, the larger capacity will become even more important. We are thus well positioned to participate in the an ticipated demand for construction services for deep water projects, and the number of projects should increase in the future.
Power Generation Systems and Equipment
Historically, Babcock & Wilcox has had a very large share of the domestic fossil utility steam generating market. Despite this high market share, our shops-- as are those of our competitors-- are operating substantially below capacity. Because the slow market for new electric generating capaci ty is expected to continue for 3 to 5 years, we have closed our Brunswick, Georgia, plant to bring our manufacturing capabilities more in line with projected markets. Our capacity is under continuous review.
Inasmuch as few of our customers are buying new power generation plants, emphasis has shifted to maintenance and im proved efficiency of existing facilities. It's similar to the American consumer who used to buy a car every year; now he keeps his old car as long as he can. As a result, we have strengthened our service business, and plants built by B&W and our competitors are a primary and very, large market. Our service operations in clude outage management and planning, technical support, field service to aid in upgrading the effi ciency of equipment, and replace ment parts.

Items 1. and 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
A. GENERAL
McDermott Incorporated (the Company) was incorporated in 1946 as a successor to businesses which had been engaged in providing construction services to the oil and gas industry since the 1920's. On March 31,1978, the Company acquired The Babcock & Wilcox Company (B&W) which was founded in 1867. The Company has operated principally in three industry segments since the acquisition of B&W--marine construction services, power generation systems and equipment, and engineered materials.
Marine construction services principally consists of the design, construction and installation of specialized off shore fixed platforms and marine pipelines and other facilities for worldwide offshore development (as distinguished from exploratory) drilling, production and transportation of oil and gas. Marine construction services also includes engineering and construction services for oil production in shoreline and marshland areas (principally in Louisiana and Texas); operates three shipyards in the Southeastern United States for the construction, repair and maintenance of tugboats, barges and other small vessels; and is engaged in the engineering and construction of processing plants for the oil, gas and petrochemical and mineral industries, primarily for offshore installation.
Power generation systems and equipment includes individually engineered complete fossil fuel steam systems, nuclear steam systems, steam generating parts and customer services, engineered modifications of existing steam systems, nuclear fuel and nuclear fuel assemblies for electric utility and marine applications, and fossil fuel boilers for industrial processes and power generation; process recovery boilers and pollution control systems for the process and utility industries; control and performance computers, automated controls and in struments; nuclear control-rod drives and inflective metallic thermal insulation; specially engineered ac cessories and components, such as air heaters, fans, air and water-cooled heat exchangers, precipitators and nuclear reactor components; and the erection of utility plants and other industrial facilities. '%
Engineered materials includes stainless., alloy and carbon steel, seamless and welded tubes and pipe, tubular
and solid shapes, extrusions, special metal tubes, and seamless rolled rings. These are principally "specialty"
products of high quality and engineered for special applications. One of this segment's principal products is high quality tubing for petroleum operations.

International operations of the Company are subject to the usual risks arising out of foreign government regulation of such operations, including unsettled political situations, foreign exchange controls, expropria tions and demands for local participation.
See Note 9 of notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information with respect to the Com pany's business segments.
In addition to the restatement of periods prior to the fiscal year ended March 31, 1982 resulting from the change to the percentage of completion method of income recognition, segment reporting information for all periods reported has been reclassified to reflect onshore construction services as part of the marine construc tion services segment, and to reflect air and water-cooled heat exchangers operations and that portion of automated machines and machine tools related to certain nuclear operations as part of the power generation systems and equipment segment. These operations were previously included as part of the other products and services segment. All financial information related to the Company's business segments has been adjusted to reflect this reclassification.
B. MARINE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
General
Historically the Company's principal expertise has been in the design, construction and installation of specialized offshore fixed platforms and marine pipelines used for development drilling, production and transportation of oil and gas. The Company also engages in the engineering and construction of processing plants for the oil, gas, petrochemical and mineral industries, primarily for offshore installation.
Fixed platforms, which are fastened to the seafloor by pilings driven through their structural legs, have been installed by the Company in water depths of more than 1,000 feet. These platforms have been engineered to withstand increasingly greater weights and stresses as the search for oil and gas has expanded into deeper water and into areas subject to severe weather conditions.
The Company, a world leader in the fabrication of offshore structures, has a principal fabrication yard located on approximately 1,500 acres of leased land near Morgan City, Louisiana. Smaller yards are maintained at nearby Bayou Black and Harvey, Louisiana. The Company also operates fabrication yards on leased property in South East Asia at Singapore, and on Batam Island, Indonesia; in the Middle East at Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Ain Soukhna, Egypt; in West Africa at Warri, Nigeria; and on its own property near Inverness, Scotland. The equipment used at these yards, which is capable of fabricating a full range of offshore struc tures, consists principally of cranes, welding equipment, machine tools and other fabrication equipment, most of which is movable. The Company also operates shipyards in Morgan City and New Iberia, Louisiana; and Gulfport, Mississippi.
Expiration dates, including renewal options, of leases covering land for fabrication yards are as follows:
Morgan City, Louisiana Warri, Nigeria Singapore Batam Island, Indonesia Dubai, U. A. E. Ain Soukhna, Egypt
Years 2001-2024 Year 2065 Year 2000 Year 2008 Year 1982 (Monthly) Year 2001
Underwater pipelaying operations conducted by the Company have also required the development of new techniques and equipment as water depths have increased. The Company has the capability of installing pipelines with an outside diameter (including concrete coating) of up to 72 inches. The Marine Pipeline Divi sion has installed one of the world's deepest marine pipelines from a platform that stands in over 1,000 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico.
In association with its construction and pipelaying activities, the Company conducts extensive diving opera tions.
The Company operates one of the largest fleets of marine equipment used in 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. The lifting capacities of the derrick and combination derrick-pipelaying barges range from 250 tons to 2,000 tons. Four teen (14) of the Company's barges have lifting capacities of 500 tons or more. The barges, which range in length from 240 feet to 554 feet, are fully equipped with revolving cranes, auxiliary cranes, welding equip ment, pile driving hammers, anchor winches and a variety of additional gear. Existing vessels have quarters for as many as 548 workers.
The Company owns and operates 10 derrick barges, 10 pipelaying barges, 9 combination derrick-pipelaying barges and 4 pipeburying barges. These include three semisubmersible vessels operating in the North Sea, of which two are derrick barges each capable of lifting 2,000 tons, one of which is self-propelled. The other semisubmersible vessel is a lay barge capable of laying 60 inch diameter pipe in water depths up to 2,000 feet. The Company also owns or leases a substantial number of other vessels such as tugs, utility boats and cargo barges to support the major marine vessels. Major spreads of equipment are in the Gulf of Mexico, the Middle East, South East Asia, the North Sea, West Africa, and South America.
The Company's Shipyard Group, with construction facilities in Morgan City and New Iberia, Louisiana; and Gulfport, Mississippi, supplies complete maintenance and construction facilities and is a builder of large tugs, packaged rigs, dredges, oceanographic research and ocean-going work vessels.
Foreign Operations
The amounts of marine construction's revenues and operating income derived from operations outside of the United States, and approximate percentages of those revenues to the Company's total revenues were as follows:
REVENUES

26% 20% 15%
$ (12.158) (45.130) (43,741)
The slowdown in worldwide hydrocarbon development in offshore areas has resulted in operating losses in fiscal years 1982,1981 and 1980. In fiscal 1982, although losses decreased, operating results continued to be depressed as a result of provisions for losses recognized in connection with the winding-up of certain large con tracts.
Raw Materials
The raw materials used by the Company in its marine construction services, such as carbon and alloy steel in various forms, welding gases, concrete, fuel oil and gasoline, are available from many sources and the Com pany is not dependent upon any single supplier or source. Although shortages in certain raw materials and fuels required to be purchased by the Company have existed from time to time, no serious shortage exists a: the present time.
Customers and Competition
The Company's principal customers are the larger domestic and international oil and gas companies and foreign governments. Customers generally contract with the Company for the design, construction and in stallation of specific platforms, pumping stations, marine pipelines, and production networks. Contracts are usually awarded on a competitive bid basis and work is performed on a fixed price, cost plus or day rate basis. The Company's contracts for work in foreign areas generally provide for payment in United States dollars, with exceptions for payments in foreign currencies in amounts approximately equal to expenses to be incurred by the Company in those currencies.
10
The Company's main competitor in offshore construction has operations comparable in size to those of the Company but is a subsidiary of a company that also provides other services to the oil and gas industry. A number of smaller companies also competes effectively with the Company in various parts of the world, but none has the geographical distribution or the range of capabilities of the Company and its main competitor.
Backlog
As of March 31, 1982 and 1981 the marine construction services backlog amounted to $1,396,000,000 and $1,301,000,000, respectively, an increase of approximately 7%. Of the March 31,1982 backlog, $1,140,000,000 is expected to be recognized in fiscal 1983, with the remainder to be recognized in subsequent years. Included therein are ten contracts, each of which has a revenue value of more than 4% of this segment's backlog. These contracts are with major international oil and gas companies and foreign governments and range in amounts from approximately $64,000,000 to approximately $167,000,000. Almost all contracts call for progress payments and the Company attempts to cover increased costs of anticipated changes in general labor rates and material costs on long-term contracts, either through an estimation of such changes, which is reflected in the original fixed price, or through price escalation clauses.
Factors Affecting Demand
Marine construction activity has fluctuated widely, principally due to changes in the amount of capital expen ditures by the larger domestic and international oil and gas companies and foreign governments for developmental construction. These expenditures are influenced by the sale and expiration dates of offshore leases in the United States and abroad, the discovery rates of new oil and gas reserves in offshore areas, local and international political and economic conditions, and the ability of the oil and gas industry to generate capital.
Marine construction has traditionally been a cyclical industry, depending mainly on the capital expenditure outlay of major oil and gas companies. Oil prices have a strong effect on exploration and production which ultimately affects the demand for marine construction activity in all areas of the world. The Company expects over the long term an end to the current oil surplus and an improved level of demand for its construction ser vices.
C. POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT
General
Power generation systems and equipment includes individually engineered complete fossil fuel boilers, nuclear steam systems, and nuclear fuel and nuclear fuel assemblies for electric utility and marine applications, as well as fossil fuel boilers for industrial processes and power generation. Power generation systems and equipment also includes replacement parts, customer services and engineered modifications of existing steam systems, and specially engineered accessories and components, such as air heaters, precipitators, cleaning systems for heat transfer surfaces, nuclear reactor components, control and performance computers, automatic controls and instruments and nuclear control-rod drives. In addition, it includes process recovery boilers and pollution control systems for the process and utility industries, heavy pressure vessels and air and water-cooled heat ex changers, hollow forgings for steam piping and other uses and reflective metallic thermal insulation. The Com pany, through a separate construction unit, is engaged in the erection of utility plants and industrial facilities and the repair and alteration of such existing equipment.
In fiscal 1982,1981 and 1980, nuclear power generation systems revenues were approximately 11%, 12%, and 15%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues. This segment's total nuclear activity was profitable in all three years. Government nuclear activity was profitable in fiscal 1982 and 1980 but sustained losses in fiscal 1981, due, primarily, to cost increases on two major programs that could not be recovered. Commercial nuclear activity was profitable in all three years due, primarily, to significant termination claims on the cancellation of nuclear steam contracts and the related sales of surplus uranium, which the Company does not anticipate in fiscal 1983. The Company does not currently have any nuclear steam contracts which obligate it to provide uranium.
11
The principal plants of the Company and its subsidiaries manufacturing power generation systems and equip ment are situated at Barberton, Lancaster and Wickliffe, Ohio; Lynchburg, Virginia; Wilmington, North Carolina; and Cambridge, Ontario. These plants and properties are owned by the Company and are well main tained, have suitable equipment and are of adequate size. The low level of orders for power generation systems and equipment, coupled with delays and suspensions of certain contracts in backlog, has caused the Company to review its capacity requirements and to provide for the closing of certain of its facilities.
Raw Materials
The principal raw materials used by the Company to construct power generation systems and equipment con sist of carbon and alloy steels in various forms, such as plate, structurals, bars, sheet, strip, heavy wall pipe and tubes. Significant amounts of components are also purchased for assembly into the equipment. These raw materials and components generally are purchased by the Company as needed for individual contracts except that requirements for tubes are supplied mainly from within the Company. Significant amounts of natural gas are used in the manufacture of power generation systems and equipment.
The principal raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of nuclear fuel consist of uranium, zircalloy and nickel. The Company's commercial nuclear fuel contracts provide for the customers to furnish the uranium.
Although shortages in certain raw materials and fuels required to be purchased by the Company have existed from time to time, no serious shortage exists at the present time.
Customers and Competition
The principal customers of this business segment are the electric utility industry (including governmentowned utilities) and the United States Government. The electric utility industry (including government-owned utilities) accounted for 25%, 30% and 29% of the Company's total revenues for fiscal years 1982, 1981 and 1980, respectively. The United States Government accounted for 6%, 6% and 7% of the Company's total revenues for the same periods, respectively.
Power generation systems and equipment orders are customarily awarded in response to competitive bids sub mitted pursuant to proposals based on the estimated cost of each job. A relatively small number of companies specializing in large steam generating equipment competes with the Company in the fossil fuel field. In sales of nuclear steam generating equipment the Company also competes with a small number of companies, including two major manufacturers whose reported sales of this equipment significantly exceed those of the Company, but which do not compete with it in the sale of fossil fuel boilers. In the sale of nuclear fuel, the Company com petes with each of the other manufacturers of nuclear steam generating equipment, as well as with one petroleum company which is a supplier of nuclear fuel. A number of companies are in competition with the Company, in small industrial boilers. The Company performs significant amounts of work for the United States Government under both prime contracts and subcontracts, and thus, is subject to continuing reviews by government agencies. Other suppliers of nuclear and fossil fuel systems, as well as many other smaller businesses, in the case of fossil fuel system, compete for repair and alterations and other sendees required for backfitting and maintaining older systems.
Backlog
The power generation systems and equipment backlog as of March 31, 1982 was $3,630,000,000, compared with $3,449,000,000 as of March 31, 1981. Of the March 31, 1982 backlog, it is expected that approximately $1,153,000,000 will be recorded as revenues in fiscal 1983, $1,575,000,000 in fiscal 19S4 - 1986. and $902,000,000 thereafter.
The reduced electric utility load growth, excess generating capacity, environmental restraints and financial pressures on the utility industry have resulted in continued delays, suspensions and cancellations of nuclear steam system and related fuel contracts. In addition; the Company has not received an order for a new nuclear steam system in several years. No nuclear steam systems have been cancelled since fiscal 19S0, when there
12
were seven cancellations. However, it is doubtful that certain other commercial nuclear steam systems under contract will be completed and the backlog has been adjusted accordingly. Of the commercial nuclear steam systems and associated fuel contracts remaining in backlog, one is suspended. Commercial nuclear steam system and related fuel contracts constitute a relatively small portion of total backlog. The Company's total nuclear backlog, of which somewhat less than 30% relates to commercial contracts, constitutes approximately 23% of the Company's total backlog. Delays and supensions have also affected fossil fuel utility boiler con tracts and in fiscal 1982 two such contracts were cancelled. Delayed or suspended fossil fuel utility contracts constitute less than 10% of the Company's total backlog. The Company expects to proceed with these fossil fuel utility boiler contracts after the period of delay or suspension. If contracts are delayed, suspended or cancelled, the Company is entitled to a financial settlement related to the individual circumstances of the con tract.
The Company attempts to cover increased costs of anticipated changes in labor, material and service costs of long-term contracts either through an estimation of such changes which is reflected in the original price or through price escalation clauses. Most utility proposals and new contracts contain escalation clauses. Most long-term contracts have provisions for progress payments.
Factors Affecting Demand
New orders by the U. S. electric utility industry have been at low levels for the past several years, primarily due to cost induced conservation and a resultant decline in electric demand growth and uncertainties caused by excessive government regulation and the lack of a cogent national energy policy. As orders for new power generating systems and equipment have decreased, backfitting of old systems requiring replacement parts, repair and alterations and other services have become a significant portion of this segment's business.
D. ENGINEERED MATERIALS
General
Engineered materials consists of tubular and refractory products designed and manufactured from basic and raw materials.
Tubular products include stainless, alloy and carbon steel, seamless and welded tubes and pipe, tubular and solid shapes, extrusions, special metal tubes and seamless rolled rings. These are principally "specialty" pro ducts of high quality and engineered for special applications. One of this segment's principal products is high quality tubing for petroleum production operations.
Refractory products include kaolin clays, specially engineered and vacuum formed ceramic fibers, insulating and specially firebrick, plastics, mortars, castables and special oxide refractories. These refractories are used in high temperature furnaces for various heating and heat treating purposes and in other applications where the temperatures and rates of combustion or chemical reactions are unusually demanding.
The Company's principal plants manufacturing tubular products are located at Beaver Falls and Ambridge, Pennsylvania; Alliance, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Bryan, Texas. It manufactures refractory products principally at Augusta, Georgia; and Burlington, Ontario and mines kaolin clay at Hepzibah, Georgia. All of these plants and properties are owned by the Company, are well maintained, have suitable equipment, and are of adequate size. During fiscal 1982 the Company divested its fittings and forgings product line. The cost associated with this divestment was fully provided for in fiscal 1981. Revenues from this product line were not material in relation to the Company's total revenues.
Raw Materials
The principal raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of tubular products consist of steel, steel scrap, special metals and alloying materials. Most of the steel and special metals used for seamless tubemaking purposes are produced by the Company's own electric furnace facilities, but the Company purchases its re quirements for strip steel in the open market. Most of the steel scrap and all alloying materials utilized in the manufacturing process are also purchased in the open market.
The principal raw material used to produce the Company's refractory products is kaolin clay which it obtains from its own mine. Also used are bauxite, alumina, silicon carbide, gypsum, plaster and wood chips, which are purchased on the open market.
Significant amounts of natural gas and oil are used in the manufacture of tubular and refractory products
Although shortages in certain raw materials and fuels required to be purchased by the Company have existed from time to time, no serious shortage exists at the present time.
Customers and Competition
The principal customers of the tubular products portion of this business segment are the petroleum and petrochemical industries. Other major customers include the bearing, the automotive, the agricultural and construction machinery, the primary metal, the fabricated metal, and the process and power generation in dustries. In addition, material amounts of tubes are manufactured by this segment to satisfy the Company's own requirements for power generation systems and equipment.
The principal customers of the refractory portion of this business segment are the iron and steel, the chemical process, the ceramic, foundry and furnace builders industries.
A number of companies, both domestic and foreign, are in competition with the Company with respect to tubular and refractory products.
Backlog
The backlog of this business segment as of March 31,1982 was $187,000,000, compared with $255,000,000 as of March 31,1981, substantially all of which is expected to be recognized as revenues in the coming fiscal year.
Factors Affecting Demand
Increases in oil prices have provided a strong incentive for increased exploration for and production of petroleum products. This has led to a significant increase in demand for high quality production tubing for the oil industry, which has become a significant class of products for engineered materials over the last few years. However, the recent oil surplus and declining oil prices have caused a softening in demand for oil country pro duction tubing in recent months. This segment also supplies other pressure tubing to makers of steam generating equipment for use in power plants, refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants and pulp and paper and other process industries. Demand for such tubing is closely tied to the capital spending plans of these industries or their ultimate customers, and such spending levels are currently depressed. In addition, this segment supplies mechanical tubing to the automotive, bearing, and agricultural and construction machine industries. Purchases of tubular products by these industries tend to follow the trend of the general economy. Insulating products provided by this segment fall into two major categories, high temperature in sulations and special performance refractories. Demand for such insulating products comes primarily from the iron and steel, refining and chemical processing, ceramics and utilities industries and is dependent upon capital spending for modernization and expansion, production levels and energy conservation in such in dustries. Demand associated with capital spending and production levels in such user industries has declined in the past several months.
E. OTHER PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
General
Other products and services provided by the Company include the design and manufacture of automated machines and machine tools. The control valve product line was sold in July 1981 and an agreement in priDpie has been reached to sell the automated machine and machine tool product lines in fiscal 1983. Total revenues from this segment are not material in relation to the Company's total revenues.
d f
Backlog
The backlog of this business segment as of March 31,1982 was $23,000,000, substantially all of which will be transferred to the buyer of the automated machine and machine tool product lines.
F. PATENTS AND LICENSES
Many U. S. and foreign patents have been issued to the Company and it has many pending patent applications. Patents and licenses have been acquired and licenses have been granted to others when advantageous to the Company. While the Company regards its patents and licenses to be of value, no single patent or license or group of related patents or licenses is believed to be material in relation to its business as a whole.
G. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
The Company maintains research and development activities in Alliance, Ohio; Lynchburg, Virginia; and New Orleans, Louisiana; and also conducts development activities at its various manufacturing plants and engineering and design offices. During the fiscal years ended March 31,1982,1981 and 1980, approximately $106,000,000, $81,300,000 and $54,800,000, respectively, was spent by the Company on research and develop ment activities, of which approximately $54,000,000, $39,000,000 and $23,400,000, respectively, was paid for by customers of the Company. Research and development activities sponsored by the Company were related to both development and improvement of new and existing products and equipment, improving operating techniques, and conceptual and engineering evaluation for translation into practical applications. The majority of customer sponsored research activities were related to the development of new products. Approximately 477 employees were engaged full time in this activity.
H. INSURANCE
The Company maintains liability and property insurance that it considers normal in the industry. It does not maintain insurance covering certain risks for which insurance is not available or is only available at rates which the Company considers uneconomical. Among such risks are war and confiscation in certain areas of the world at certain times, and pollution liability in excess of relatively low limits. Depending on competitive con ditions and other factors, the Company endeavors to obtain contractual protection against uninsured risks from its customers.
In addition to coverage under nuclear liability and property insurance for its five nuclear facilities, two of these facilities are covered by the limitations of liability and indemnity provisions of the Price-Anderson Act which, among other things, limit the public liability of manufacturers of licensed nuclear facilities and other in demnified parties to an aggregate of $560,000,000 per nuclear incident and indemnify such persons in an ag gregate amount which when added to amounts available under commercially available liability insurance policies will total $560,000,000.
The Company's insurance policies do not cover liability and property damage losses resulting from nuclear in cidents at facilities of its utility customers. To protect against such losses the Company has obtained contrac tual indemnification from such customers and waivers of their insurers' rights of subrogation and generally has been named as an additional insured under its customers' nuclear property insurance policies. In addition, the Company's third-party nuclear liability is an insured risk under such customers' nuclear liability policies and the Price-Anderson indemnity discussed above.
The Company's offshore construction business is subject to the usual risks of operations at sea, with additional exposure due to the utilization of expensive and technical construction equipment under sometimes extreme weather conditions, often in remote areas of the world. In addition, the Company operates in many cases on or in proximity to existing offshore facilities which are subject to damage by the Company and such damage could result in the escape of oil and gas into the sea.
The Company has two wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries. To date, these subsidiaries have written policies concerning general liability, builders' risk within certain limits, marine hull, and workmen's compensation for the Company and certain subsidiaries. As of March 31,1982, the only insurance written for unrelated parties was a participation in a reinsurance contract with a major domestic insurance company.
r:
I. EMPLOYEES
At March 31, 1982, the Company employed, under its direct supervision, approximately 59,000 persons. Ap proximately 15,600 employees were members of labor unions. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory.
J.GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
The Company's compliance with Federal, State and local environmental protection regulations necessitated capital expenditures of $3,410,000 in 1982, and it expects to spend another $16,600,000 over the next five years. However, the Company cannot predict all the environmental requirements or circumstances which will exist in the future. The recurring costs of complying with environmental regulations was a charge against in come before taxes of approximately $10,765,000 in 1982.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 14,1978 a Federal grand jury in New Orleans, Louisiana indicted the Company, Brown & Root, Inc. ("Brown & Root") 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 1 of the Sherman Act and other federal statutes. In 1978 the Company and Brown & Root each pleaded nolo contendere to the Sherman Act charges and were each fined $1,000,000. In March and April, 1979, two officers, a former chief operating officer, and a former chief executive officer of the Company (all but one of whom were directors of the Com pany) pleaded nolo contendere to the Sherman Act charges and certain related charges of mail fraud and wire fraud. The Company and Brown & Root (and in some cases, Oceanic Contractors, Inc. (now McDermott Inter national, Inc.) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain former officers of the Company) have been named as defendants in over 75 pending actions (which have been filed in or transferred to the United States District Court for die Eastern District of Louisiana) instituted by or on behalf of purchasers of marine construction services in the United States and abroad and in an action by a competitor, alleging a combination and conspiracy to restrain or eliminate competition in marine construction in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and various state laws through a conspiracy to allocate contracts, fix prices and contract terms and other means. Plaintiffs seek treble damages and other relief for injuries allegedly sustained, in some cases as early as the mid-1950's. Other private parties have received temporary waivers of the statute of limitations, and these parties may assert additional treble damage claims against die Company. The Company has filed answers denying the material allegations of wrongdoing in the complaints and in some cases has filed a counterclaim. These cases are now in discovery proceedings. The outcome of these actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
On March 25, 1980, General Public Utilities Corporation and three of its subsidiaries filed an action against B&W and the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for damages resulting from the March 28, 1979 accident at Three Mile Island-Unit 2 ("TMI-2"), which was owned and operated by one of such subsidiaries. The original complaint alleged that the nuclear steam supply system and certain auxiliary equipment and systems provided by B&W, including training and drafting work on pro cedures and specifications for TMI-2, were improperly performed. The original complaint purported to set forth causes of action based on negligence, strict liability, breach of contract, and breach of warranty theories. The Company and B&W filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint and asserting cer tain affirmative defenses, including plaintiffs' negligent maintenance and operation of TMI-2 and contractual limitations on B&W's liability. In December 1981 plaintiffs filed an amended complaint restating their claims against B&W and the Company and deleting therefrom all claims based on breach of contract or warranty. They now assert five separately stated claims. The first four seek to hold B&W liable under alternative theories of per se negligence, gross negligence, wanton, willful and reckless misconduct, and ordinary negligence for (1) failure to warn plaintiffs following an allegedly similar incident that occurred at another nuclear facility which had a B&W reactor; (2) failure to warn plaintiffs concerning certain characteristics of the reactor coolant pumps; (3) negligent misrepresentation concerning the earlier incident at the other facility; and (4) failure to provide certain additional safety equipment and analyses which plaintiffs claim would have mitigated or prevented the accident. Plaintiffs' fifth claim asserts that the matters alleged in the first four claims constitute a defect in the equipment sold to them by B&W and that B&W is therefore liable for any resulting damages under the doctrine of strict products liability. The amended complaint seeks damages "in an amount to be determined, no less than $4 billion". Simultaneously with the filing of the amended complaint,
16
the Company and B&W filed their answer thereto, denying the material allegations of the amended complaint and reasserting the affirmative defenses. There has been extensive discovery, which is continuing. Plaintiffs have waived their demand for jury trial. A tentative trial date has been set for October 18,1982. It is extreme ly difficult to predict the outcome of litigation of this magnitude and complexity and, accordingly, the outcome of this case could have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, based upon the facts developed to date and the Company's review of the contracts for furnishing equipment and services, management believes that liability, if any, arising out of this proceeding should not have a material adverse effect upon the con solidated financial position of the Company.
In addition to the action described in the preceding paragraph, B&W and, in certain cases, the Company, are defendants in numerous suits seeking very substantial damages allegedly caused by the nuclear incident at TMI-2. In the contracts between B&W and the utility, there are contractual provisions for indemnification pur suant to the Price-Anderson Act and, separately, from the utility. On behalf of the defendants, the utility's in surers have entered into a proposed settlement with the two classes of plaintiffs which the court has heretofore certified. The settlement, which was approved by the court on September 9,1981, provides for an aggregate payment by the insurers of approximately $25,000,000. Additional actions which are not part of the consolidated class action are being defended by the insurers, subject to their reservation in certain cases of the right to contest liability under the policies. The Price*Anderson Act limits the public liability of all parties who may be liable for a nuclear incident to an aggregate of $560,000,000 per nuclear incident and provides for rais ing this sum through nuclear liability insurance, retrospective premium assessments and government indem nity. Based upon these considerations and other available information, management believes that liability, if any, arising out of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position of the Company.
On February 12,1981 an action entitled Arkansas Power & Light Co. v. B&W and McDermott was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Western Division. This complaint arises out of an agreement between B&W and Arkansas Power & Light Co. ("AP&L") pursuant to which B&W has pro vided AP&L with nuclear fuel for AP&L's Arkansas Nuclear One electric generating facility. The agreement provided that B&W would supply a specified quantity of nuclear fuel for use in AP&L's facility and would repurchase, for a price of approximately $5,000,000, such fuel when discharged from the reactor. The com plaint alleges that B&W has refused to purchase and remove from the premises of AP&L spent nuclear fuel which has been discharged. The complaint further alleges that, as a result of B&W's Mure to purchase and remove the spent fuel, AP&L has incurred substantial expenses in order to modify and expand its spent fuel storage capacity. B&W has asserted as affirmative defenses that B&W, under certain provisions of the con tract, is not liable for loss or damage arising out of events beyond its reasonable control; that B&W is excused from performance of this agreement because of actions of the Federal government which have prevented the reprocessing of spent fuel; and that performance has been rendered commercially impracticable. Plaintiff seeks a judgment declaring that the defendants are contractually obligated to purchase spent fuel and a decree directing defendants to purchase and remove all spent fuel which is subject to the agreement. Plaintiff also seeks to recover costs of modifying its fuel storage capabilities, the amount of the payments for purchase of the spent fuel, any damages suffered for ultimate disposal of the fuel if not removed by defendants, and the cost of storage of the fuel until defendants obtain storage elsewhere. The potential damages attributable to a judgment requiring B&W to bear the cost of storage and disposal of spent fuel cannot be calculated at this time, although such damages could be very substantial. Based upon the information presently available to it, management believes that any liability arising out of the proceeding should not have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position of the Company.
In August 1977 an action entitled Zeidman, et al, v. McDermott, et al., was filed by a former holder of common stock of B&W and a former holder of call options to purchase such common stock in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana against the Company, certain of its officers, and Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated ("Smith Barney"), the Company's financial advisor, alleging violations of federal securities laws prohibiting fraudulent and manipulative devices. The plaintiffs seek to represent all former holders of B&W common stock and all former holders of call options to purchase such common stock who sold such shares or call options during the period March 30, 1977 through August 14,1977. They allege that the Company failed to disclose in a timely fashion that it and Smith Barney were engaged in a tender offer for the purpose of acquiring control of B&W and that the price received by members of the purported class was substantially below what they could have received had the defendants made timely disclosure of their actions and intentions. Plaintiffs seek rescission of the sales of B&W securities made by the class prior to full
17
disclosure by the Company of its tender offer, or in the alternative, damages in unspecified amounts suffered by the class, plus attorneys' fees and costs. The District Court denied plaintiffs' motion for class certification and granted in part defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing certain of the plaintiffs' claims. The Company, on behalf of all defendants, tendered to the two named plaintiffs the full amount of their claimed damages, $22,475, and defendants moved to dismiss the entire action as moot. Such motion was granted by the District Court. Plaintiffs appealed from the District Court's denial of class certification and dismissal of the suit. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the judgment of the District Court and remanded the case for further proceedings with respect to various class certification issues.
In January 1978 a stockholder of B&W filed an alleged class action, Osofsky v. Zvpf et al., in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, B&W, the directors of B&W, Smith Barney, and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("Morgan Stanley"), B&W's financial advisor, alleging violations of federal securities laws prohibiting fraudulent or misleading statements or omissions and of state common law in connection with the Company's tender offer for B&W common stock (the "tender offer") and the subsequent merger of B&W into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "merger"). The plaintiff, who seeks to represent all B&W stockholders, alleges, among other things, that the Company planned to violate its "promise" in the tender offer that the consideration to be received by B&W's stockholders in the merger would have to approximate the price paid pursuant to the tender offer by offering securities which the plaintiff claims to have a market value of $61.00 or less, that the other defendants aided and abetted the Com pany with respect to this violation, and that such violation constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the stockholders of B&W by the Company, B&W and the directors of B&W. Plaintiff seeks specific performance of the Company's alleged promise to pay the stockholders of B&W the approximate sum of $65.00 per share of B&W common stock upon the issuance by the Company of its $2.20 convertible preferred stock and $2.50 (subsequently $2.60) preferred stock, plus attorneys' fees and costs. On February 14,1978 the Company filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaints. On November 30,1978 plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. On July 12,1979 defendants filed a motion for summary judgment and papers in opposi tion to class certification. On August 21,1979 plaintiffs filed a motion to consolidate this action with a similar action which had been filed in the same Court in March 1978, Udoffv. B&W, et al., for which class certification was also sought. The District Court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment on the ground that plaintiffs had failed to allege a theory of damages cognizable under the federal securities laws. The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the order of summary judgment and remanded both actions to the District Court. Renewed motions for summary judgment by the Company and the other defendants on the grounds not previously determined by the District Court and the Court of Appeals were denied. Osofsky and Udoffhave been certified as class actions, and notices have been sent to class members. The cases are now in discovery, and it is expected that the cases will be tried in late 1982. On the basis of information currently available to it, management believes both of these suits are without merit.
In March, 1978 a stockholder of the Company had filed a derivative action, Lewis v. Graves, et al, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, its directors, B&W, Smith Barney and Morgan Stanley alleging violations of federal securities laws prohibiting fraudulent and misleading statements or omissions and state common law in connection with the B&W tender offer and merger and in connection with the receipt by certain of the Company directors of stock pursuant to the Com pany's Career Executive Stock Plans. The plaintiff alleges that the purchase of B&W stock by the Company on the open market and pursuant to the tender offer were fraudulent in that, among other things, the price paid was "unconscionably high" and further alleges that some of the defendants concealed the alleged fact that such purchases and any subsequent merger of the Company and B&W "posed antitrust problems". The plain tiff also alleges that the proxy statement issued by the Company prior to the merger was deficient under the federal securities laws in that it did not disclose, among other things, that there were "serious questions" as to the legality of the merger under the antitrust laws, that the Company's directors had not determined that the proposed merger was fair to the Company's shareholders, or that the merger would have adverse effects on the Company's financial position. The plaintiff further alleges that the sums expended by the Company in con nection with the tender offer and merger constituted a waste of the Company's assets and that the receipt of Company stock by certain of the Company's directors pursuant to its Career Executive Stock Plans was fraudulent in that such individuals concealed their knowledge of or participation in certain questionable or il legal payments and practices in which the Company had been involved. Plaintiff seeks rescission of the merger, an accounting from the individual defendants for damages they allegedly caused the Company, the cancellation of stock issued to certain defendants pursuant to the Company's Career Executive Stock Plan, an accounting from Smith Barney and Morgan Stanley for damages allegedly suffered by the Company as a
result of the tender offer and merger and for all profits made by them in connection therewith, and attorneys' and experts' fees. On June 9,1978 the Company filed an answer denying the material allegations of the com plaint. In December 1980, the Company and all the other defendants moved for judgment on the pleadings based in part on the Court's decision in a similar suit involving the Company and in part plaintiffs failure to make a demand oh the Board of Directors, and, in the alternative, for summary judgment based on the fin dings of the Independent Committee on Litigation of the Board of Directors (comprised entirely of outside directors) charged with the responsibility of answering the plaintiffs demand, which Committee, after exten sive investigation with the assistance of independent legal counsel, determined that to pursue the plaintiffs claims would not be in the best interest of the the Company. By opinion and order dated February 4,1982, the Court granted defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings for failure to make a demand upon the direc tors but allowed plaintiff to replead if a demand was made on or before March 5,1982. Plaintiff subsequently notified the Court that he had decided not to make such demand. Judgment was entered dismissing the com plaint against all the defendants, and plaintiff has filed Notice of Appeal. On the basis of the information cur rently available to it, management believes that this suit is without merit.
In June 1981, the Florida Power Corporation, a customer of B&W, filed an action, Florida Power Corporation v. B& W and McDermott, in the Middle District of Florida against the Company and B&W alleging breach of contract, breach of warranties, negligence, strict liability and fraud in the inducement arising out of an inci dent at the Florida Power Crystal River Unit 3 site. Crystal River Unit 3 is a nuclear reactor facility for which B&W supplied the nuclear steam supply system. During operation in February 1978, a piece of a lumped bumable poison rod assembly escaped from the core of the reactor and traveled through the reactor to the inter face with the steam generator where damage was done to the top of the steam generator. Florida Power Cor poration, not specifying the amount of damages except to allege that such amount exceeds $10,000 seeks damages which are both direct and consequential, including replacement power. The Company and B&W filed answers denying the material allegations of the complaint and asserting various affirmative defenses, and also filed a third-party demand on the nuclear insurers of Florida Power Corporation. Discovery in the form of document production has commenced, and it is expected that deposition discovery will commence later this year. Management believes that any liability arising from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
In October 1981 a trustee for a stockholder of the Company filed an alleged shareholder's derivative action, Richardson v. Graves, et al., in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for New Castle County, against the Company, its directors, a former director and officer of the Company and a former officer of the Company alleging that certain defendants engaged in, and the remaining defendants authorized or acquiesced in, various instances of unlawful conduct which resulted, among other things, in the Company paying fines or forfeiture of profits of at least $2,000,000 in 1978 and 1979 and being named as a defendant in the pending civil treble damage actions arising out of alleged violations of the federal antitrust laws. The plaintiff seeks a broad range of relief, including replacement of the Company's Board of Directors and the appointment of a receiver to manage the Company; an accounting of the expenses incurred in connection with the litigations and in vestigations caused by the unlawful acts alleged; an award of damages in the amount sustained by the Com pany, and an injunction prohibiting the defendants from acting in the manner set forth above; a declaration that the defendants have committed a gross abuse of trust and have violated their fiduciary duties to the Com pany and its stockholders; an order requiring certain named defendants, who are officers and directors or former officers and directors of the Company, to return portions of the compensation received by them respec tively from the Company; and punitive damages. On January 22, 1982 the defendants, with one exception, moved to dismiss this action for the reason that the plaintiff had failed to make formal demand on the Board of Directors prior to filing the action. The Independent Committee on Litigation of the Board of Directors, com prised entirely of outside directors, has been charged with the responsibility of investigating and assessing the allegations of the complaint; the Committee's investigation is continuing with the assistance of independent legal counsel. Management believes that the outcome of the investigation will not have a material adverse ef fect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
1982 VS 1981
Beginning in April 1981, the Company has accounted for revenues and costs for its marine construction con* tracts using the percentage of completion method, whereas in prior years revenues and costs for such con tracts had been accounted for using the completed contract method. The change in method of accounting was adopted to better reflect the progress and performance of contract work in the marine construction operations and to conform with criteria contained in the Statement of Position "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type Contracts" issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in July, 1981. Financial statements of prior periods presented herewith have been restated to apply the new method retroac tively. For income tax purposes, the completed contract method will be continued.
Marine construction sendees revenues increased by $490,598,000. This increase in revenues was principally related to foreign operations. As a result of higher profit margins, higher revenues and increased utilization of marine vessels, this segment's operating'income increased by $67,024,000. Domestic and foreign operations contributed to the improvement in operating income. Losses were incurred or provided for on certain marine contracts in both fiscal 1982 and 1981.
Lower oil prices in fiscal 1982 resulted in a softening in the demand for marine construction services in certain areas of this business segment, particularly in domestic operations.
For the fiscal year ended March 31,1982, the effect of the accounting change discussed above increased net in come by $42,873,000. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1981, the effect of this same accounting change decreased net income by $7,136,000.
Power generation systems and equipment revenues for fiscal 1982 were $221,733,000 higher than fiscal 1981 principally due to higher revenues from fossil steam generating systems, termination claim settlements of nuclear steam system contracts, and improved boiler parts and service business. In addition, improvements were recorded in revenues from process recovery boilers and controls, heat exchangers for the process and utility industry, as well as nuclear fuel and components for the Navy. Partially offsetting these favorable results were a lower level of repair and alteration business and lower environmental systems business. Operating income of this segment for fiscal 1982 was $8,589,000 lower than fiscal 1981. Principal factors con tributing to this decrease were higher unrecoverable costs on certain fossil steam generating system con tracts, increased costs for the repair of certain nuclear steam generators, and higher spending on research and development and increased selling expenses. Partially offsetting these unfavorable factors were termination claim settlements of nuclear steam system contracts and the related sales of surplus uranium which con tributed approximately $32,588,000 more to this segment's operating income in fiscal 1982, compared with fiscal 1981. In addition, losses were recorded in fiscal 1981 on two major government nuclear programs due to higher than anticipated costs which could not be recovered. The low level of orders for power generation systems and equipment, coupled with delays and suspensions of certain contracts in backlog, has caused the Company to review its capacity requirements and to provide for the closing of certain of its facilities. This provision is included in Other Income (Expense).
Engineered materials revenues were $310,300,000 higher than last year, principally reflecting the strong de mand and improved pricing for petroleum industry related tubing. Operating income increased $197,261,000 primarily due to the higher volume and improved prices for pressure and mechanical tubing shipped to the petroleum industry. Higher operating levels resulting in lower per unit costs, cost reduction programs and elimination of certain low margin and unprofitable products from this segment have also aided results.
Other products and services revenues decreased $35,239,000 due to divestment of the control valve product line and the industry-wide slump in machine tool orders. Operating income for the segment was $8,031,000 or $2,534,000 lower than last year and is due to divestment of the control valve product line partially offset by lower operating expenses resulting from reduced manpower levels in the machine tool unit. An agreement in principle has been reached to sell the automated machine and machine tool product lines in fiscal 1983 and a provision has been made for this disposition.
Other income decreased by $43,968,000. This decrease is primarily attributable to provisions of $51,000,000 for plant closings and disposition of product lines referred to above and to losses of $7,918,000 in foreign ex change translation in fiscal 1982 compared with a gain in fiscal 1981.
Provision for income taxes increased by $95,100,000 with effective tax rates of 49% and 53% for the respec tive periods. Taxes increased due to the higher income before provision for income taxes in the current period. However, a lower effective tax rate in the current year is due to anticipated higher effective foreign tax benefits which result from the dispersion of profits and losses among jurisdictions with varying rates of taxa tion.
1981 VS 1980
Marine construction services revenues increased by $396,639,000 in domestic and foreign operating areas. Operating income increased by $63,172,000 principally in domestic operations. Foreign operating losses for fiscal 1981 decreased slightly from those of fiscal 1980. Losses were incurred or provided for on certain marine contracts in both fiscal 1981 and 1980. However, such losses were at a lower level in fiscal 1981. As a result of these lower losses and improved profit margins on its other marine contracts, this segment was in a net pro fitable position in fiscal 1981.
Fower generation systems and equipment revenues were $240,041,000 higher than fiscal 1980, primarily due to increased boiler and component parts shipments which were deferred from fiscal 1980 due to an extended labor strike in that period. In addition, higher navy reactor fuel and components shipments, increased repair and alteration business and higher control system sales increased revenues in fiscal 1981. Operating income in fiscal 1981, however, was $24,506,000 lower than fiscal 1980. Principal factors contributing to this decrease were lower margins on contracts due to lower demand and competitive pressures, inflationary increases in operating costs, increased losses on two major government nuclear programs due to significantly higher than anticipated costs which could not be recovered, and significantly lower operating income from sales of nuclear fuel. Settlements of cancellation claims of nuclear steam system contracts and the related sales of surplus uranium contributed approximately $27,300,000 to this segment's operating income in fiscal 1981, as com pared with approximately $42,300,000 in fiscal 1980. Partially offsetting these negative factors was additional operating income in fiscal 1981 generated by the increased repair and alteration and control businesses. Operating income in fiscal 1980 was reduced by approximately $46,000,000 in the aggregate due to the adverse impact of labor strikes, the higher provision for losses made for steam generator repairs in Canada and a provision for certain export contracts.
Engineered materials revenues increased by $46,137,000 in spite of lower market demand for insulating pro ducts and tubular products, except tubing for petroleum production operations. Higher prices and a shift in tubular product shipments to a greater percentage of such tubing, which carries a higher price per ton, were the factors increasing the dollar volume. Operating income increased $34,544,000 resulting from the higher prices and a more profitable product mix.
Other products and services revenues increased by $24,319,000 due to increased shipments of machine tools and control valve products. Operating income also increased by $3,041,000 for both of these classes of pro ducts.
Interest income increased by $23,486,000 for the comparative periods. The interest income was consistent with changes in the Company's investments (principally short-term) and the interest rates prevailing in the respective periods. In fiscal 1980, certain cash available for short-term investments was instead placed in for ward contracts for the sale of foreign currency, and the premiums earned thereon were reported as other in come in that period.
Interest expense for fiscal 1981 increased by $11,187,000 from that of fiscal 1980, primarily due to interest ex pense accrued in fiscal 1981 with respect to income taxes provided in prior years.
Other income decreased by $25,882,000 for the comparative fiscal years. Of this decrease, 15,481,000 was at tributable to premium income earned in fiscal 1980, when certain cash available for short-term investments was placed in forward contracts for the sale of foreign currency. The Company made provisions in fiscal 1981 of $18,883,000 to cover the shut-down costs of certain domestic and foreign operations included in the engineered materials segment and other minor product lines. These decreases were offset by the gain of ap proximately $17,000,000 on the disposal of the Company's investment in Pullman Incorporated.
Provision for income taxes increased by $47,688,000 for fiscal 1981 over the income taxes provided for fiscal 1980, with effective tax rates of 53% and 42% for the respective periods. This increase was due to an increase in net income before taxes, lower effective foreign tax benefits which resulted from the dispersion of profits and losses among jurisdictions with varying rates of taxation, and reduced investment tax credits in the cur rent fiscal year. `
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices on Revenues and Net Income
As a result of significant and continued inflation, historical dollar accounting (as reflected in the financial statements) does not reflect the cumulative effect of increasing costs and changes in the purchasing power of the dollar.
The effects of inflation and its impact upon the Company and its reported results are shown pursuant to FASB No. 33 in Note 11 of notes to consolidated financial statements.
The Company attempts to cover increased costs of anticipated changes in labor, material and service costs on long-term contracts either through an estimation of such changes which is reflected in the original price or through price escalation clauses. However, increased competition in some areas has prevented the full recovery of increasing costs, and, consequently, profit margins are under pressure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
There has been no significant change in the Company's financial position since March 31, 1981.
The Company's working capital increased by $96,396,000, principally due to increases in accounts and notes receivable of $92,957,000, increases in cash and short-term investments of $87,604,000 and decreases in notes payable to banks of $63,212,000, partially offset by decreases in the net of contracts in progress and advance billings related thereto of $64,528,000 and increases in accrued liabilities-other of $83,647,000.
During the fiscal year ended March 31,1982 the Company spent $167,018,000 for additions to property, plant and equipment and paid cash dividends of $90,481,000.
The Company has committed to make capital expenditures of approximately $240,000,000 during fiscal 1983. These proposed expenditures are principally to increase the capacity of and upgrade and modernize the Com pany's marine fleet and its support facilities, and to expand and modernize the Company's steelmaking facilities.
The Company expects to obtain funds for these purposes from its operations and through borrowings. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1982, the Company's outstanding borrowings under its short-term lines of credit and revolving credit agreement averaged $79,820,000, with $21,560,000 outstanding at March 31,1982.
At March 31,1982 the Company had $110,632,000 available under its short-term lines of credit. In addition, to help assure its ability to meet future committments, in fiscal 1982, the Company established a $200,000,000 eight-year revolving credit and term loan agreement with a group of banks. Depending on market conditions and other factors, the Company may also meet its cash requirements through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities.
The Company attempts to manage its long-term and short-term debt in such a manner that maturing obliga tions will not adversely affect the Company's liquidity. See Note 5 of notes to consolidated financial statements for maturities of long-term debt in coming fiscal years.
At March 31,1982, the ratio of long-term debt to total common stock and other stockholders' equity was .36, as compared with .42 at March 31, 1981 and .46 at March 31,1980.
Certain of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies are restricted, principally as a result of credit agreement covenants, in their ability to transfer funds to the Company through intercompany loans, advances or cash dividends. At March 31,1982, approximately $950,000,000 of the net assets of such subsidiaries and affiliated companies were subject to such restrictions. It is not expected that these restric tions will have any significant practical effect on the Company's liquidity.
Item 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Company Report on Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this report. The Company has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and other financial infor mation and for ascertaining that the data fairly reflect the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting prin ciples appropriate in the circumstances, and necessarily reflect estimates and judgments by appropriate of ficers of the Company with appropriate consideration given to materiality.
The Company believes that it maintains a system of internal accounting controls 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 ac cepted accounting principles. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that the cost of a system of internal control must not exceed the related benefits. Although accounting control procedures are designed to achieve these objectives, it must be recognized that errors or irregularities may nevertheless oc cur. The Company seeks to assure the objectivity and integrity of its accounts by its selection of qualified per sonnel, 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. The Company believes that its accounting controls provide reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be material to the financial statements are prevented or would be detected.
The Company's accompanying consolidated financial statements have been examined by its certified public ac countants, who provide the Company with expert advice on the application of generally accepted accounting principles to the Company's business and also provide an objective assessment of the degree to which the Com pany meets its responsibilty for the fairness of financial reporting. They regularly evaluate the system of inter nal accounting controls and perform such tests and other procedures as they deem necessary to reach and ex press an opinion on the fairness of file financial statements. The report of the certified public accountants ap pears elsewhere herein.
The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for the Company's consolidated financial statements through its Audit Committee which is composed solely of directors who are not officers or employees of the Company. The Audit Committee meets periodically with the certified public accountants, management and the internal auditors to review matters relating to the quality of financial reporting and internal accounting control and the nature, extent and results of the audit effort. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for recom mending to the Board of Directors the engagement of certified public accountants for the Company, who in turn submit the engagement to the stockholders for their approval. The certified public accountants, as well as the internal auditors, have free access to the Audit Committee.

Report of Certified Public Accountants
The Board of Directors and Stockholders McDermott Incorporated We have examined the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of McDermott Incorporated at March 31, 1982 and 1981 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and changes in finan cial position for each of the three years in the period ended March 31,1982. Our examinations were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company has been named as a defendant in pending actions alleging violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and various state laws. Additional similar claims may also be asserted. The ultimate amount of any liability that might result from such actions is not presently determinable and no provision for any liability that might result has been made in the financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements mentioned above present fairly the consolidated results of operations and changes in financial position of McDermott Incorporated for each of the three years in the period ended March 31,1982 and, subject to the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been required had the out come of the uncertainty referred to in the preceding paragraph been known, the consolidated financial posi tion at March 31, 1982 and 1981, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the period after restatement for the change, with which we concur, in the method of accounting for marine construction contracts as described in Note 1 to the financial statements.

McDermott incorporated NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE FISCAL YEARS ENDED MARCH 31,1982
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 joint venture companies (20% to 50% owned) are accounted for on the equity method.
Certain amounts previously reported in the consolidated financial statements at March 31,1981 and 1980 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation at March 31, 1982.
Contracts and Revenue Recognition
In April 1981 the Company adopted the percentage of completion method of income recognition for its marine construction contracts. Prior to this date, the Company generally used the completed contract method of in come recognition for these contracts. The change in method of accounting was adopted to better reflect the progress and performance of contract work in the marine construction operations and to conform with criteria contained in the Statement of Position "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type Contracts" issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in July, 1981. Financial statements of prior periods presented herewith have been restated to apply the new method retroactively.
The effect of the accounting change on net income for 1982 and on net income for 1981 and 1980 as previously
reported was:

Primary

Fully Diluted
$ 0.99 $ (0.19) $ 0.08
Revenues were increased $240,055,000 in 1981 and decreased $115,451,000 in 1980 from amounts previously reported as a result of the change. Retained earnings at the beginning of 1980 was increased by $7,514,000 from the amount previously reported for the cumulative effect of the change to that date.
Contract revenues and related costs for marine construction services and power generation systems and equipment are principally recognized on a percentage of completion method for individual contracts or compo nents thereof based upon work performed or the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs, as applicable to the product or activity involved. Revenues and related costs so recorded, plus accumulated contract cost that exceeds amounts invoiced to customers under the terms of the contract are included in contracts in prog ress. Billings that exceed accumulated contract costs and revenues and costs recognized under percentage of completion are included in advance billings. Most long-term contracts have provisions for progress payments. Contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses and adjustments propor tionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in income in the period when such estimates are revised. Provisions are made currently for all known or anticipated losses. Claims for extra work or changes in scope of work are included in contract revenues when collection is probable.
The Company is usually entitled to financial settlements relative to the individual circumstances of deferrals or cancellations of power generation systems and equipment contracts. The Company does not recognize such settlements or claims for additional compensation until final settlement is reached.
Included in contracts in progress are unbilled revenues on contracts of $31,626,000 and $52,329,000 at March 31, 1982 and 1981, respectively, expected to be collected after one year.
Included in accounts and notes receivable are amounts representing retainages on contracts as follows:

Depreciation, Maintenance and Repairs and Drydocking Expenses
Property, plant and equipment is depreciated by the straight-line method, using estimated useful lives of 8 to 40 years for buildings and 2 to 28 years for machinery and equipment.
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 Company's marine fleet, which are estimated and accrued pro rata 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
The excess of the Company's investment in Babcock & Wilcox (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 1971 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 of the power generation systems and equipment segment. Such provision is accrued relative to revenue recognition on the respective contracts.
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 $52,000,000, $42,300,000 and $31,400,000 in fiscal 1982,1981 and 1980, respec tively.
Capitalization of Interest Cost
In 1980, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FASB) No. 34, interest cost was capitalized on qualifying assets. This change increased net income in 1980 by $6,153,000 ($0.19 per share). In fiscal 1982,1981 and 1980 total interest cost incurred was $61,620,000, $67,267,000 and $59,265,000, respec tively, of which $7,037,000, $7,447,000 and $10,632,000 was capitalized.
Tax Benefit Leases
Pursuant to the Safe Harbor Leasing provisions under die Economic Recovery Act of 1981, the Company acquired tax benefits in 1982 from other companies in connection with the purchase and lease-back of capital equipment. There is no effect on net income in 1982 and there will be no material effect on net income in future years as a result of these leases.
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 $7,918,000 for fiscal 1982, and gains of $3,446,000 and $3,178,000 for fiscal 1981 and 1980, respectively.
33
Earnings Per Share
Primary earnings per common and common equivalent share are computed after preferred dividend require ments and are based on the weighted average number of common and Common equivalent shares (stock options, stock appreciation rights and performance units) outstanding during the year.
NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on an average cost basis except for certain domestic and foreign construction materials inventories, for which the last-in first out (LIFO) method is used. The cost of approximately 12% and 15%, respectively, of total inventories was determined using the LIFO method at March 31,1982 and 1981. Consolidated inventories at March 31,1982 and 1981 are summa rized below:

NOTE 3 - PENSION PLANS
The Company provides retirement benefits, primarily through non-contributory pension plans, for substan tially all of its regular full time employees, except certain non-resident alien employees of foreign subsidiaries who are not citizens of a European Common Market country or who do not earn income in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom. The Company's policy is to fund the amounts expensed. Total pension ex penses included in cost and expenses were $83,072,000, $72,675,000, and $62,137,000 in fiscal 1982,1981 and 1980, respectively, which includes amortization of prior service costs over periods of 30 and 40 years. The following table presents information regarding the financial condition of the Company's pension plans as defined in FASB No. 36 and estimated by the Company and its consulting actuaries on that basis:

Investment tax credits, accounted for on the flow-through method utilized in fiscal 1982, 1981 and 1980, were $6,738,000, $9,234,000 and $13,278,000, respectively. The effective income tax rate is reconciled to the statutory federal income tax rate as follows:

Undistributed income of foreign subsidiaries included in consolidated retained earnings at March 31, 1982, amounted to approximately $508,147,000. Under present law, such amount would be subject to United States income taxes at prevailing tax rates less foreign tax credits if remitted to the parent company; no provision for such taxes has been made in the consolidated financial statements as it is the Company's intention to indefi nitely reinvest said undistributed earnings in the foreign subsidiaries.

During the year ended March 31,1982, the Company negotiated a new revolving credit and term loan agree ment in the amount of $200,000,000, replacing the existing agreement in the amount of $150,000,000. The Company may elect to borrow at the prime rate, 1/2 of 1% plus the London Interbank Offered Rate, or 1/2 of 1% plus the certificate of deposit rate. On June 14, 1985, all outstanding borrowings will convert to a term loan, payable in sixteen equal quarterly installments and bearing interest at the applicable rate of 1/4 of 1% plus the prime rate,'3/4 of 1% plus the London Interbank Offered Rate, or 3/4 of 1% plus the certificate of deposit rate, to maturity at June 14,1989. The Company pays a commitment fee at the rate of 3/8 of 1% and a fee of 5% of the prime per annum on the unused portion. No amounts were outstanding under the facility as of March 31, 1982.
Maturities of long-term debt during the five fiscal years subsequent to March 31,1982 are as follows: 1983 $17,787,000; 1984 - $17,242,000; 1985 - $50,456,000; 1986 - $15,501,000; 1987 - $15,485,000.
Certain of the Company's debt agreements contain, among other things, requirements as to maintenance of working capital and limitations on the payment of dividends and incurrence of future borrowings. Under the most restrictive of these agreements at March 31, 1982, dividends were restricted to approximately $233,837,000.
Certain of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies are restricted, principally as a result of credit agreement covenants, in their ability to transfer funds to the Company through intercompany loans, advances or cash dividends. At March 31, 1982, approximately $950,000,000 of the net assets of such subsidiaries and affiliated companies were subject to such restrictions. It is not expected that these restric tions will have any significant practical effect on the Company's liquidity.
NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Litigation - On December 14, 1978 a Federal grand jury in New Orleans, Louisiana indicted the Company, Brown & Root, Inc. ("Brown & Root") and certain of their officers on charges of conspiring to allocate con tracts and to fix prices and contract terms for marine construction projects in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act and other federal statutes. In 1978 the Company and Brown & Root each pleaded nolo con tendere to the Sherman Act charges and were each fined $1,000,000. In March and April 1979, two officers, a former chief operating officer, and a former chief executive officer of the Company (all but one of whom were directors of the Company) pleaded nolo contendere to the Sherman Act charges and certain related charges of mail fraud and wire fraud. The Company and Brown & Root (and in some cases, Oceanic Contractors, Inc. (now McDermott International, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain former officers of the Company) have been named as defendants in over 75 pending actions (which have been filed in or transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana) instituted by or on behalf of purchasers of marine construction services in the United States and abroad and in an action by a com petitor, alleging a conspiracy to restrain or eliminate competition in marine construction in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and various state laws through a conspiracy to allocate contracts, fix prices and contract terms and other means. Plaintiffs seek treble damages and other relief for injuries al legedly sustained, in some cases as early as the mid-1950's.
Other private parties have received temporary waivers of the statute of limitations, and these parties may assert additional treble damage claims against the Company. The Company has filed answers denying the material allegations of wrongdoing in the complaints and in some instances has filed a counterclaim. These cases are now in discovery proceedings. The outcome of these actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company and certain of its officers, directors and subsidiaries are defendants in numerous other legal pro ceedings 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. Management and general counsel believe that the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the Com pany's consolidated financial statements.
37
Operating Leases - Future minimum payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year at March 31,1982 are as follows: 1983 - $15,282,000; 1984 $11,190,000; 1985 - $7,427,000; 1986 - $5,392,000; 1987 - $4,700,000; and thereafter - $31,722,000. Future minimum lease payments and leased property under capital leases are not material. Total rental expense for fiscal 1982, 1981 and 1980 was $186,262,000, $143,338,000 and $98,519,000, respectively. These expense figures include contingent rentals and are net of sublease income, both of which are not material.
Other - The Company performs significant amounts of work for the government under both prime contracts and subcontracts and thus is subject to continuing reviews by governmental agencies.
Firm and contemplated commitments for capital expenditures amounted to approximately $300,000,000 at March 31, 1982.
The Company and certain subsidiaries are contingently liable under standby letters of credit totalling $230,982,000 primarily issued in the normal course of business which relate primarily to indemnity agreements for performance bonds on contracts.

The issued and outstanding shares are entitled to $31.25 per share in liquidation. The outstanding shares were issued in connection with the acquisition of B&W and are stated at the mandatory redemption value which approximated market value at the time the shares were issued. Both series of preferred stock are entitled to general voting rights of one-half vote for each share. The Board of Directors may authorize additional series of preferred stock and may set terms of each new series except that the Company cannot create any series of stock senior to the existing Series A and Series B Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of at least 50% of the shares of such preferred stock.
Each share of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock. The shares are redeemable at the option of the Company on or after March 31 of each of the following years, at the following prices, plus accrued dividends: 1983 - $33.45; 1984 - $33.09; 1985 - $32.72; 1986 - $32.35; 1987 -$31.97; 1988 - $31.62; and 1989 through 2008 - $31.25. On March 31,1989 and each subsequent year through March 31, 2008, the Company is obligated to redeem, at a redemption price of $31.25 plus accrued dividends, 5% of the number of shares which are outstanding at December 31, 1988.

The obligation to redeem Series B Preferred Stock is $9,866,000 for each of the fiscal years 1986 and 1987.
Additional shares of Series A or Series B Preferred Stock, equal to the number of shares the Company is obligated to redeem, may be redeemed on each mandatory redemption date by the Company, on a noncumulative basis. The Company may apply to the mandatory sinking fund obligations any Series A or B Preferred Stock owned, previously redeemed or surrendered for conversion which have not been previously credited against the mandatory sinking fund obligations.

1980 Long-Term Performance Incentive Compensation Program - Under the program, the Career Executive Stock Plan Committee (the "Committee") may grant to the officers and key employees of the Company and subsidiaries options to purchase in the aggregate up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options are exercisable not less than one year and not more than ten years after the date of grant. The Committee may grant stock appreciation rights in connection with the granting of options under the program. Such stock appreciation rights would permit the holders thereof to surrender exercisable options in exchange for shares of common stock having a fair market value on the date of such sur render equal to the excess of the fair market value on such date of the shares to which such surrendered option relates over the aggregate option price under the related options up to, but not in excess of, twice the feumarket value of such underlying shares on the date of grant. The Committee may, at its discretion, grant holders of stock appreciation rights the right to receive up to 50% of such excess in cash in lieu of shares of common stock. The program also authorizes the Committee to grant performance unit awards which are earned by the achievement of performance standards established by the Committee. Performance units are paid in cash or shares of common stock or both at the discretion of the Committee. At March 31,1981,437,665 shares for stock options and stock appreciation rights were awarded and outstanding at a price of $28,375 per share. During 1982, three stock option and stock appreciation rights awards were made of 3,500,14,535 and 10,415 shares each, at a price of $37,188, $29.25 and $29.75 per share, respectively. Also, 59,500 performance units had been awarded and are outstanding to date. There were no forfeitures during 1981: however, awards relating to 45,060 shares were forfeited during 1982. With respect to the stock appreciation rights and the per formance units, the Company has charged income $2,042,000 and $1,521,000 during fiscal years 19S2 and 1981, respectively.
40
Career Executive Stock Plan - The Plan, which was adopted in 1974, authorized 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued to eligible employees in consideration of their services. Employees granted stock under the Plan pay $1.00 per share as the option purchase price. Shares may be issued pursuant to the Plan until June 30, 1984. Restrictions with respect to issued shares lapse in approximately equal amounts on the second through tenth anniversary dates of the date of issuance. The cost of the Plan, based on fair market value on the date of issuance of common stock, is amortized over a ten year period following the date of issuance. Upon forfeiture of stock by employees, previous expense attributable to unvested stock is credited to income. Forfeited shares under the Plan returned to the Company amounted to 1,760 and 1,100 shares during 1982 and 1981, respectively. During fiscal 1982, the Company awarded 18,500 shares under the Plan. As of March 31,1982, 82,876 shares of common stock are available for grant to eligible employees pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Amounts charged to income under the Plan and its predecessor Plan amounted to $1,193,000, $1,125,000, and $1,093,000 in fiscal 1982,1981 and 1980, respectively.
NOTE 9 - SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates primarily in three industry segments marine construction services, power generation systems and equipment and engineered materials.
Marine construction services principally involve construction of specialized offshore platforms and marine pipelines used for development drilling, production and transportation of oil and gas.
Power generation systems and equipment include individually engineered complete fossil fuel boilers, nuclear steam systems, nuclear fuel and nuclear fuel assemblies, replacement parts and customer services and associated equipment for electric utility and marine applications as well as fossil fuel boilers for industrial pro cesses and power generation. The associated equipment includes process recovery boilers and pollution con trol systems for the process and utility industries, cleaning systems for heat transfer surfaces, control and per formance computers, fans, and air and water-cooled heat exchangers. In addition, the Company is engaged in the erection of this and other equipment through a separate construction unit and the repair and alteration of such equipment.
Engineered materials consist of tubular and refractory products designed and manufactured from basic and raw materials. Tubular products include stainless, alloy and carbon steel, seamless and welded tubes and pipe, tubular and solid shapes, extrusions, special metal tubes, and seamless rolled rings. These are primarily "specialty" products of high quality and engineered for special applications. One of this segment's principal products is high quality tubing for petroleum production operations. Material amounts of tubes are manufac tured by the Company to satisfy its own requirements. However, the major portion of the Company's tubes are sold for use in the petroleum, bearing, primary metal, fabricated metal and agricultural and construction machine industries. Refractory products include kaolin clays, specially engineered and vacuum formed ceramic fibers, and other insulating and specialty products for use in high temperature furnaces for various heating and heat treating purposes and in other applications where the temperatures and rates of combustion or chemical reactions are unusually demanding.
Other products and services engaged in by the Company during fiscal 1982 include the design and manufactur ing of control valves, automated machines and machine tools. The control valve product line was sold in July, 1981 and an agreement in principle has been reached to sell the automotive machine tool product lines in fiscal 1983 for the approximate book value of the assets.
Identifiable assets by industry segment are those assets that are used in the Company's operations in each seg ment. Corporate assets are principally cash, short-term investments and marketable securities.
Intersegment sales are accounted for at prices which are generally established by reference to similar trans actions with unaffiliated customers.
Revenues attributable to transactions with unconsolidated joint venture companies were $88,887,000 in fiscal 1982, $25,435,000 in fiscal 1981 and $107,920,000 in fiscal 1980.
Operating income (loss) does not reflect provisions of $51,000,000 made by the Company in fiscal 1982 to cover the closing of certain of its power generation systems and equipment facilities and the disposition of its
41
automated machine and machine tools product lines. Such provisions are included in the other income (ex penses) section of the income statement as other expense.
In addition to the restatement of prior periods resulting from the change to the percentage of completion method of income recognition, segment reporting information for all periods reported has been reclassified to reflect onshore construction services as part of the marine construction services segment, and to reflect air and water-cooled heat exchangers operations and that portion of automated machines and machine tools related to certain nuclear operations as part of the power generation systems and equipment segment. These operations were previously included as part of the other products and services segment.

NOTE 11 - EFFECTS OF GENERAL INFLATION (Unaudited)
In compliance with FASB Statement No. 33 "Financial Reporting and Changing Prices", certain supple mentary information relating to the effects of general inflation and changes in specific prices is presented below. The information adjusted for general inflation is calculated by adjusting cost of sales and depreciation expense to a unit of common purchasing power determined by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The information adjusted for changes in specific prices is calculated by adjusting cost of sales and depreciation expense for changes in those prices that relate to property, plant and equipment, and inventory being used in the activities of the business. No other items of revenue or expense in the Condensed Consoli dated Statement of Income are adjusted.
Depreciation expense included in income adjusted for changes in general inflation and adjusted for changes in specific prices is computed using the same depreciation methods and depreciable lives as are used for conven tional financial statements.
Any comparison between the conventional financial statements and the required supplemental disclosures must be viewed with caution. The amounts shown adjusted for general inflation only correct for distortions caused by recording transactions in dollars of varying purchasing power. The amounts shown adjusted for changes in specific prices include the use of estimates and assumptions. Changes in individual prices are caused in part by changes in the general purchasing power of the dollar and in part by other supply and demand factors including technological change.
The provision for income taxes remains unchanged because tax laws do not allow the Company to claim tax deductions related to these adjustments. These disclosures highlight an important view of the Company's annual effective tax rate: 49% as presented in the conventional financial statements, 58% as adjusted for the effects of general inflation, and 64% as adjusted for the effects of specific inflation.
The gain from the decline in purchasing power of net amounts owed reflects the fact that total liabilities having a future fixed cash settlement exceeded total assets with similar characteristics. This unrealized gain theoretically represents the fact that net liabilities can be repaid with dollars having a lesser value than at the beginning of the year due to inflation.
The increase in specific prices of inventories and property, plant and equipment represents the difference between the current cost amounts at the beginning of the year and the end of the year. Part of the difference is attributable to inflation in general and part is attributable to economic factors affecting the individual prices of the particular assets owned. To the extent that the difference has been realized by a sale during the year, it is included in income from operations on a current cost basis. The unrealized portion does not represent receipt of cash and should not be considered as providing funds for reinvestment or dividend distribution in the cur rent period.
The net assets shown under changes in general inflation and under changes in specific prices are adjusted only for changes in inventory and property, plant and equipment.
In April, 1981 the Company adopted the percentage of completion method of income recognition for its marine construction contracts. The Five-Year Comparision of Selected Supplementary Financial Data Adjusted for Inflation has been restated accordingly.
