Annual Report For The Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 1980
On the cover and throughout this year's Annual Report are examples of the visual and textual materials in our longrange corporate advertising program. The initial phase began in January 1980, and will run for fifteen months in selected national business magazines, newspapers, and trade journals.
Response to date has been excellent. Readership has been measured by independent
research organizations, and our ads have consistently ranked in the top 25 percent or better of all ads read in any given publication. Our objectives are to increase awareness of our Company's name, stress the variety and quality of our engineering skills, and reinforce our position as a comprehensive energy services company because-no matter how the world solves its energy problems, McDermott is involved.
i i
Any problem as widespread and severe as the
energy shortage, calls for a lot of solutions. Today, the
McDermott companies are working around the world
to find them.

J. E. CUNNINGHAM Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
During fiscal year 1980, we experienced disappointing operating results. While worldwide competition was intense, it was not the only factor affecting the results. Quite frankly, operating performance was not up to our expectations.
Additional provisions were made during fiscal 1980 with respect to the final settlement on steam generator repairs in Canada, as well as for repairs under certain export contracts. These provisions amounted to approximately $19.5 million. During the year-end closing in May 1980, it came to our attention that we faced sub stantial additional losses on certain major marine construc tion contracts. A provision of approximately $19 million for these losses was reflected in the fourth quarter results. Without this latter provision we would have reported approximately $2.35 per share (primary) for the year rather than $1.77 per share.
Because of these problems, and to provide better direction and control for the business activities of the Corporation, we have realigned management responsibilities throughout the Company.
McDermott
Operating Unit
Fiscal 1980 began with generally depressed conditions for the marine construction industry worldwide. But as the world begins to search seriously for answers to its energy problems, the offshore industry appears to be on the verge of a considerable upswing. Many business analysts now view the marine construction sector as the growth industry of the 1980s.
We agree for two reasons. First, it has been projected that world offshore production will grow well over twice as fast as total world production. In 1970, about 10 percent of our oil came from offshore sites. This year, it will run about 16 percent. And by the year 2000, it is estimated that more than 25 percent of our oil supplies will be derived from offshore locations.
The second reason is that more than 90 percent of the areas favorable to resource recovery lie at water depths of 1,000 feet or less. This means that we have the technology right now to get at that oil and get it out.
Anticipating this, we've supplemented our equipment line. We've added Derrick Barge 100, one of the largest in the world. Through the acquisition of the marine assets of the Netherlands Offshore Company, we've added four other major pieces of construction equipment. And we are building the Intermac 650 - the world's largest launch barge.
The cost of this new equipment - along with the upgrading of our existing fleet-is substantial. Until this equipment achieves a higher utilization rate, it will penalize our short-term financial results. But it will give us a solid base from which to participate in the growth of the offshore sector during the coming decade.
We're also preparing for the future by continuing our engineering leadership in offshore

B&W was again this year the major contributor to the Company's revenues and operating income. These results were achieved in spite of lowered demands for electric power. Because of its strength in customer services and environmental equipment, we expect B&W to be able to generate good profit levels despite a depressed boiler market.
Three Mile Island
During the past year, various lawsuits were brought by persons living in the vicinity of the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant against the Company and others as a result of the nuclear incident which occurred at that plant on March 28, 1979. The Company believes that it is fully protected against any financial liability to these plaintiffs by the provisions of the Price-Anderson Act and the provisions of its contracts with the utility.
In March of this year, General Public Utilities and its affiliated utilities filed a lawsuit against the Company, which also arises out of the March 28,1979, nuclear incident at Three Mile Island. Based upon the facts developed during the investiga tions of that incident and the Company's review of its contracts for furnishing equip ment and services, the Company feels it has no material legal liability and will vigorously defend its position in the lawsuit.
Antitrust
A number of civil suits claim ing treble damages have been instituted against the Company, arising out of the Government's charges of antitrust violations, to which the Company pleaded nolo contendere. The Company intends to attempt to settle any claims which may be found to have sufficient merit to warrant settlement in the best interests of the Company; however, any claims which are without merit or cannot be equitably resolved will be vigorously defended.
Financial Events
In March 1980, we sold 4 million shares of common stock. The proceeds, which amounted to $121.5 million, were used to repay outstanding indebtedness to banks under a revolving credit and term loan agreement, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
In fiscal 1980, dividends total led $2.20 a share for the Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and $2.60 a share for the Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock. During the year, we declared Common Stock dividends amounting to $1.25 per share, a 25 percent increase over the $1.00 per share declared in fiscal 1979. At its February meeting, the Board of Directors voted to increase the regular quarterly Common Stock cash dividend 16 % percent to $0.35 per share. This is equivalent to an annual rate of $1.40 per share.

One of America's few remaining undeveloped territories for oil and gas reserves is in the Gulf of Mexico, where the water is more than 1,000 feet deep. Recovery wasn't practical until we built and installed "Cognac", the world's tallest offshore
drilling and production platform. Towering 1,265 feet above the sea floor and
weighing 118 million pounds, the Cognac plat form was the first ever built and installed in three
sections. Each had to be towed to the site, lowered into piace, and mated.

The Company is also continuing work on fabrication, installation, and pipelaying in Dubai and the Gulf of Suez. In January 1980, we were awarded a $16 million contract for the construction and installation of 14 jackets in the Upper Zakum Field in Abu Dhabi.
The political unrest in the Middle East has obviously impacted our operations in this area. But future business prospects still look bright. Total peak capacity of exportable crude oil has not yet been achieved. Vast natural gas fields are still 3 * virtually untapped. Reservoir maintenance projects will become
more common as the fields age. And countries such as India, Pakistan, and Oman, which have promising offshore potential, will be pushing to develop their resources to obtain energy self-sufficiency. In this area, wellestablished companies will be the ones to survive and prosper.
Southeast Asia is probably the area with the best growth prospects. Nearly all of the enormous potential of the Southeast Asia Shelf lies in water depths shallower than 600 feet. This factor, plus the presence of local governments in favor of continued brisk resource develop ment, indicates it will be an

Our operations in the area are very large. We are registered -o do business in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Australia.
During fiscal 1980, we experienced a high level of utilization of our heavy marine construction equipment in
Southeast Asia. We installed nine platforms, layed over 140 miles of pipe, and relocated two pipelines.
We also completed work in the Bass Strait of Australia, consisting of the installation of the Snapper platform and the lay ing of 22 miles of pipeline.
Recently, we were awarded a variety of new contracts totalling $60 million. They include offshore work in Thailand, Indonesia, and Brunei.
Onshore, we established a process-vessel shop on Batam Island, Indonesia. We are constructing a barge wharf in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. We received an additional contract for further development of geothermal facilities in the Philippines. And Singapore International Airlines awarded us an $8.9 million subcontract to build a column-free roof at Singapore's Changi International Airport.
In West Africa, we were awarded a $68 million contract for gas facilities off the coast of Cabinda. We also received a $21 million contract to lay 55 miles of pipeline in Nigeria. Additional work is now on hand for Texaco, Gulf, Shell, and Petrofina in the countries of Zaire, Nigeria, and Angola.
I. R. Foster became Senior Vice President and Group Executive, North, Central, and South America Areas.
Our shipyards had one of their busiest years. We constructed seven tugs, two tug/supply vessels, two posted drilling barges, and two self-contained package drilling rigs. Current projects include five tugs, four supply vessels, and seven posted drilling barges. To prepare for this work, we doubled our underroof module construction capacity. We added a new 5,000-ton dry dock at Morgan City, giving us the capability to lift most large offshore barges, or to accommodate as many as four vessels simultaneously. And we purchased a shipyard in Gulfport, Mississippi, to meet our contracts in fabrication and repair services.
Our expanding operations also include Mexico. Our joint-venture company, Lan-Dermott, received an order to fabricate six package drilling rigs for Petroieos Mexicanos (PEMEX), the national petroleum company of Mexico. Most of these rigs will be built at our 125-acre facility near Tampico.
To reach new deposits, we built a platform taller than the Empire State Building and placed it in the Gulf of Mexico.

E. J. Dressel became Vice President and General Manager, Equipment and Materials Operations, reporting to McDermott Engineering.
Equipment and Materials Operations functions in several areas. We provide total procure ment service in support of operations at home and overseas. This includes purchasing, inspecting, expediting, and transporting materials. We service Gulf Coast industries in the sale of such materials as steel, valves,and fittings, lumber, and electrical equipment. We design, build, and maintain marine and associated equipment
for both foreign and domestic operations. We assist field operations in the selection and use of specialized equipment. And we develop new tools, processes and procedures.
To serve our customers better, for example, we're utilizing two new welding systems. The first is a conventional automatic marine welding system. Under development since 1976, the system will increase the speed and quality with which large-diameter pipe can be welded aboard pipe lay barges.
We also signed a systems acceptance agreement with the Paton Welding Institute of the Soviet Union for a Flash Butt Welding System. McDermott, with exclusive marine application rights outside the U.S.S.R., will be the first to use the system for marine pipeline construction. The prototype machine is scheduled to arrive in New Orleans in January 1981.

Our new national energy policy has made coal the favored fuel for the foreseeable future. With reserves estimated at 300 billion tons, America has enough coal to keep up with its energy demands for generations.
Duke Power Company's Belews Creek Steam Station proves coal can be burned cleanly and
efficiently. With huge boilers designed and built j
by Babcock & Wilcox, a McDermott company, this plant is regularly named among the most efficient generating stations in the nation.
Babcock & Wiicox is also a major supplier to the world's utilities of everything from giant-sized pulverizers that grind coal for easier burning...to air heaters and fans that aid combustion...to soot blowers that clean up boilers...to pollution control equipment that protects the environment.

During fiscal 19S0, we were awarded more than $150 million in new boiler orders from overseas customers. Included in this was a $72 million contract for five radiant boilers to be installed in the A1 Khobar Phase II desalinization plant in Saudi Arabia in 1982. In conjunction with this contract, TLT-Babcock received an order for ten centrifugal forced draft fans. The Comision Federal de Electricidad of Mexico placed an order for electromagnetic filters and associated equipment to be used at the Laguna Verde nuclear power plant. Bailey Controls received contracts to produce instrumentation and equipment in Spain, Korea, and Saudi Arabia. B&W and our Korean licensee -
Hyundai Heavy Industries Company - signed a contract to manufacture components for two radiant boilers for Korea Electric Company. Shortly after the close of the fiscal year, we received a $25 million contract from the Taiwan Power Company for an oil-fired, radiant boiler with a 500-megawatt capacity.
B&W Canada had an active year. We received a $50 million contract to provide three oilfired, 150-megawatt, steam generators to a regional electric utility company in Venezuela. We were awarded a $4 million project to supply F. F. Soucy, Inc., of Quebec with two boilers and related equipment for Soucy's newsprint mill. In March, we installed North America's

We were awarded a S50 million project for a 450-megawatt radiant boiler for the ColoradoUte Electric Association. We were also awarded a $45 million contract for the dry sulphurdioxide removal system for this boiler. Both awards included field construction. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) awarded us a $35 million contract for the design, fabrication, and construction of a coal-fired prototype boiler employing advanced atmospheric fluidizedbed combustion technology. Also, Florida Power Corporation awarded us a $35 million contract with an option for field construction for a 640-megawatt, coal-fired radiant boiler.
We have expanded our scope for fossil systems to include all of the equipment from coal pulverizers through stack gas clean-up systems, including new products such as fans, air heaters, precipitators, and scrubbers. During the year, we developed a bottom ash handling system for the removal of coal ash from furnaces. Customer acceptance of these new systems has been very good.
We've also targeted operating plants with in-use B&W equipment as a primary market opportunity for replacement parts and maintenance. The size of this market is evident from the number of B&W units in active service: more than 750 utility boilers; more than 15,000 industrial boilers; and about 1,500 marine boilers. Our customers have a strong interest in keeping existing plants in operation and upgrading them to improve performance and reliability. We expect excellent growth of this market.
D. E. Heyburn became Senior Vice President and Group Executive, Industrial Products and Services Group.
The Industrial Products and Services Group will concentrate on maintaining a leading position in utility-related markets and exploiting growth opportunities in industrial markets.
During the year, our Bailey
Controls Company developed a new advanced-technology flame detector for use in B&W's low
nitrogen-oxides, coal-fired boilers that should greatly enhance reliability and performance.
Bailey Controls has been awarded contracts valued at $1 million or more from Houston Lighting and Power, Western Farmers Electric Cooperative, and Aramco. Sales of Bailey's Conserver Systems, which optimize fuel-burning efficiency in industrial boilers and process heaters, continued strong.
During the year, the Mirror Insulation Unit of Diamond Power Specialty Company received its largest contract ever - $5 million. It will supply all-metal reflective insulation for piping and equipment at TVA's Bellefonte nuclear plant. Diamond Power is also a leading supplier of boiler cleaning equipment.
The Industrial and Marine Division manufactures steam generating equipment. It also provides associated services for industrial and specialized electric utility applications, as well as for marine use. We received an order for two process recovery boilers and two large power boilers for the International Paper Company's new mill in De Soto Parish, Louisiana. The Division also supplied three boilers for Akron, Ohio's new recycle energy

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
PAGE 26
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Statement of Income
1980 Versus 1979
Marine construction services revenues decreased by $28,778,000, as a result of decreases in domestic operations, partially offset by increases in foreign operations. Because of in tense competition, low utilization of the Company's equipment and depressed profit margins (particularly in foreign operations) and after providing for losses on contracts, costs and expenses for this segment increased by $78,970,000. The Company experienced in this segment an operating loss of $46,737,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 1980, as
compared with an operating pro fit of $61,011,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 1979.
Power generation systems and equipment revenues decreased by $6,403,000 primarily due to the impact of extended strikes at several plants. Costs and expenses decreased by $31,520,000 due to the lower volume and a substantially lower provision in fiscal 1980 related to warranty and other related design and fabrication problems experienced in certain nuclear contracts. In fiscal 1980 $11,285,000 of expenses in connection with the settlement relating to these same problems was provided. In addition,
Dividends
The Company has declared a quarterly dividend on its Common Stock for 101 consecutive quarters, and on its Series A and Series B preferred stock for eight consecutive quarters. A quarterly comparison of dividends declared in fiscal years ended March 31, 1980 and 1979 on a per share basis is as follows:

$8,200,000 was provided for repair of certain export : contracts. Extended strikes at i several plants also reduced operating profit for this segment by approximately $27,000,000. j Revenues and operating profits ,j for fiscal 1980 benefited by the J amount of $42,300,000 from the
j recognition of a termination \ claim on the cancellation of a ^ nuclear steam system contract ij and the related sale of nuclear j fuel scheduled for delivery
j| pursuant to such contract. This, j together with the lower
provision in fiscal 1980 relating ii to the warranty and other related ^ design, and fabrication problems,
were primary contributors to the increase in operating profit of $25,117,000, despite the impact of the strikes. The operating profit of this segment was $142,839,000 for the twelve months ended March 31,1980, as compared with $117,722,000 for the twelve months ended March 31,1979.
Engineered materials revenues increased by $72,189,000, reflecting increased shipments of both tubular and refractory products. Costs and expenses increased by $60,277,000 due to the higher volume and increased scrap raw material and other
costs. The increased revenues for engineered materials, together with a more profitable product mix, resulted in the increase in operating profit of $11,912,000 for fiscal 1980 over fiscal 1979. For the twelve months ended March 31, 1980 operating profit was $62,901,000, as compared with an operating profit of $50,989,000 for the twelve months ended March 31,1979.
Other products and services revenues increased $94,433,000. Costs and expenses increased by $99,700,000. These increases are due principally to the completion of major projects in both the domestic and foreign onshore construction operations. Costs and expenses also increased due to an incurred loss of approximately $10,500,000 on a project in the domestic operations. This segment had an operating loss of $6,160,000 for the twelve months ended March 31,1980, as compared with an operating loss of $893,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 1979. Increased losses in the onshore construction operations were offset by improvement in the valve business.
Interest income decreased by $5,621,000 for the comparative periods. The interest income is
consistent with changes in the Company's investments and the interest rates thereon prevailing in the respective periods.
Interest expense for the twelve months ended March 31, 1980 decreased by $3,590,000 over that of the twelve months ended March 31, 1979, consistent with changes in the Company's debt and the interest rates thereon prevailing in the respective periods, net of interest cost capitalized. Beginning with fiscal 1980, in accordance with State ments Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, interest cost was capitalized on qualifying assets. In fiscal 1980, $1*0,632,000
of interest cost was capitalized. Equity in earnings of joint
venture companies decreased by $1,387,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 1980 over that of the twelve months ended March 31,1979. This decrease relates to a decrease in income reported by those equity ventures in which the Company participates.
Other income increased by $31,859,000 for the twelve months ended March 31,1980 over that for the twelve months ended March 31,1979. Of this increase $16,921,000 was attributable to premium income from forward contracts for the

sale of foreign currency. Other items contributing to the increase were gains on translation of foreign currencies, gains on sale of assets and recovery of bad debts combined with reduced bad debt expense.
Provision for income taxes decreased by $43,367,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 1980 from that provided for the twelve months ended March 31, 1979. This decrease is due to the decrease in income before provision for income taxes, higher investment tax credits, a lower effective foreign tax rate, and lower domestic tax rates, resulting in an effective annual tax rate of 42% for fiscal 1980 compared to 54% for fiscal 1979.
1979 Versus 1978
Marine construction services revenues decreased by $105,303,000 largely as a result of decreases in revenues from foreign operations. Costs and expenses for this segment increased by $39,245,000 after providing $14,400,000 for the relocation of certain operations of one of the Company's foreign areas. The continuation of the slowdown in worldwide hydro carbon development in offshore areas has resulted in lower profit margins, both in domestic and foreign areas, reflecting intense competition and a lower rate of utilization of the Company's equipment in substantially all of the Company's markets. As a result of the above factors, operating income was $61,011,000 for fiscal 1979 as compared with $205,559,000 for fiscal 1978, a net decrease of $144,548,000.
The power generation systems and equipment revenues were $1,464,964,000 and costs and expenses were $1,347,242,000 producing an operating income of
$117,722,000. This segment of

Interest expense for the twelve months ended March 31,1979 d I increased $25,336,000 over that c- i of the twelve months ended March 31, 1978. Approximately in 1 one-half of this increase is attributable to the consolidation of interest expense on debt
carried by the power generation systems and equipment, engineered materials and other operations. The remaining increase is attributable to the additional borrowings related to the investment in B&W, new debt incurred during the current year and fluctuations in the revolving credit and term loan agreement, along with changes in the interest rates prevailing in the respective periods.
Additional changes in other income (expense) were attributable to a decrease in equity in earnings of affiliated companies for the twelve months ended March 31, 1979 of $15,240,000 from that of the twelve months ended March 31, 1978. For the twelve months end ed March 31,1978, the Company reported its share of its equity in the net income of B&W in the amount of $20,364,000. The principal increase in the current twelve month period, other than the equity income of the power generation systems and equipment, engineered materials and industrial products operations, was that of the equity
in an unconsolidated joint venture company which began operations early in fiscal 1978.
Decrease in other income is due mainly to losses in translation of foreign currency for the twelve months ended March 31, 1979, versus gains in translation of foreign currency for the twelve months ended March 31, 1978. The remaining differences were attributable to a number of other factors including workmen's compensation retrospective adjustments, bad debt expense, royalties, and minority interest.
The provision for income taxes for the twelve months ended March 31,1979, increased by $27,475,000 over that provided for the twelve months ended March 31,1978. This increase is primarily due to the fact that a greater percentage of con solidated earnings were from domestic rather than foreign sources, and that certain foreign losses resulted in no tax benefits, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 54% for fiscal 1979 compared to 34% for fiscal 1978.

See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of the Company's industry segments.
For fiscal 1980,1979 and 1978, industry segments have been determined on a basis different from prior years to conform with FASB 14 on segment reporting, and operating income is before allocation of general corporate expenses. For the prior fiscal years 1977 and 1976, Onshore Construction Services (now categorized as a part of "Other Products and Services") consisted of amounts attributable to Hudson Engineering Corporation and its subsidiaries, and Marine Construction Services represented ah other. Operating income for these prior years was after allocation of general corporate expenses.

; We have examined the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of J. Ray McDermott & Co.. Inc. and ' subsidiaries at March 31, 1980 and 1979 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained ! earnings and changes in financial position for the years then ended. Our examinations were made in ! j accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the 1 j accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. - ; As discussed in Note 7 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 f ; 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 report dated June 8,1979, our opinion on the 1979 financial statements was qualified as being , subject to the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been required had the outcome of the * '! uncertainty referred to above been known. In October 1979 the Auditing Standards Division of the American
j Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued an interpretation under which we may now appropriately ; express an unqualified opinion on the Company's 1979 consolidated results of operations and changes in
financial position. / * In our opinion, the financial statements mentioned above present fairly the consolidated results of ') operations and changes in financial position of J. Ray McDermott & Co., Inc. and subsidiaries for the year ; | ended March 31, 1980 and 1979 and, subject to the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been , | required had the outcome of the uncertainty referred to in the second preceding paragraph been known, the
J consolidated financial position at March 31, 1980 and 1979, in conformity with generally accepted accounting j principles applied on a consistent basis during the period, except for the change, with which we concur, in \ ! the method of accounting for interest as described in Note 1 to the financial statements.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements
PAGE 38
J. Ray McDermott & Co.. Inc. and Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Years Ended March 3). 1980 and 1979
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATED INANOAL STATEMENTSf
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 31,1979 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation at March 31, 1980.
Contracts and Revenue Recognition
Marine and onshore construction contract revenues are generally recognized as contractual obligations are completed. Revenues are recognized on certain marine contracts containing identifiable separate projects when such projects are completed and accepted by the customer. Revenues from time or dayrate basis marine contracts are recognized as earned. General and administrative costs are included in marine and onshore contract costs. Current provisions are made for all known or anticipated losses on marine and onshore construction contracts which have not been completed.
Power generation systems and equipment contract revenues and related costs are principally recognized on a percentage of completion method for individual contracts or components thereof based upon work performed or the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs, as applicable to the product or activity involved. Revenues so recorded are included in unbilled revenues until invoiced to customers under the terms of the contracts. Contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as the work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in income in the period when such estimates are revised.
The Company is usually entitled to financial settlements relative to the individual circumstances of deferrals or cancellations of power generation systems and equipment contracts. The Company does not recognize such settlements or claims for additional compensation until final settlement is reached.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounts of foreign subsidiaries maintained in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars based on current exchange rates at the end of the fiscal year for assets and liabilities except for inventories, prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment, and stockholders' equity for which historical exchange rates are used. Average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal years are used for revenues and expenses other than depreciation and prepaid expenses. Exchange gains and losses are recognized in the year of occurrence. Included in other income are gains of $3,178,000 for fiscal 1980, and losses of $4,739,000 for fiscal 1979.
Depreciation, Maintenance and Repairs
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 B&W over the fair value of net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 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 $31,389,000 and $28,464,000 in fiscal 1980 and 1979, respectively.
Capitalization of Interest Cost
Beginning with fiscal 1980, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34, interest cost was capitalized on qualifying assets. In fiscal 1980, total interest cost incurred was $59,265,000, of which $10,632,000 was capitalized. The effect of the changes was to increase income by $6,153,000 ($0.19 per share).
Earnings Per Share
Primary earnings per common share are computed after preferred dividend requirements and are based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares (stock options) outstanding during the year. Fully diluted earnings per common share assume the conversion of the convertible subordinated debentures and convertible preferred stock, except when anti-dilutive. The Company sold 4,000,000 shares on March 5,1980. The net proceeds of the sale were $121,500,000, which were used to retire certain debt and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Assuming that the sale had taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year, and assuming that the entire net proceeds were used to only retire that certain debt to the extent that the debt was repayable, the primary earnings per common and common equivalent share would have been $1.70, and fully diluted earnings per common and common equivalent share would have been $1.69.
NOTE 2-CONTRACTS IN PROGRESS
Contracts in progress and advance billings on contracts at March 31 consist of the following:
Marine and onshore construction contracts: Cost of uncompleted contracts Billings to customers
Power generation systems and equipment and other contracts: Unbilled revenues Cost of work in progress
Billings to customers in excess of revenues recognized

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The amounts of general and administrative expenses remaining in the cost of uncompleted marine and onshore construction contracts at March 31, 1980 and 1979 were $34,334,000 and $48,384,000, respective ly. Cost of work in progress of power generation systems and equipment and other contracts is based upon accumulated production costs less estimated costs associated with revenues recognized.
Unbilled revenues on contracts include $83,111,000 and $54,137,000 at March 31, 1980 and 1979, respectively, expected to be collected after one year.
Included in accounts and notes receivable are amounts representing retainages on contracts as follows:

NOTE 3 - 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% of total inventories was determined using the LIFO method at March 31,1980 and 1979.
Consolidated inventories at March 31, 1980 and 1979 are summarized below:

Pension Plans-The Company has several non-contributory pension plans covering substantially all employees except certain non-resident alien employees of foreign subsidiaries who do not earn income in the United States. Unfunded prior service costs based on the latest actuarial valuation was approximately $350,000,000. The Company's policy has been to fund pension cost accrued. The total value of the pension funds and balance sheet accruals was in excess of the actuarially computed value of vested benefits for all plans. Total pension expense included in costs and expenses was $62,137,000 in fiscal 1980 and $56,562,000 in fiscal 1979, and includes amortization of prior service costs over periods of 30 and 40 years.
Supplemental Compensation Plan-The Company accrues annually an amount equal to 4% of the amount by which consolidated income (as defined in the Pian) exceeds an amount equal to 10% of capital employed in the business (as defined in the Plan) from which supplemental compensation awards may be made to eligible managerial and other key employees. The aggregate amount of an award may not exceed 50% of the recipient's aggregate compensation for the year for which the award is made. On February 13, 1979 the Plan was amended to make certain future awards payable in their entirety within 30 days of determination. Amounts charged to income under the Plan amounted to $621,931 and $3,254,000 in fiscal 1980 and 1979, respectively.
Thrift Savings Plans- Effective April 1, 1978, the Company established a Thrift Savings Plan in which substantially all employees, except non-resident alien employees of foreign subsidiaries who do not earn income in the United States, and employees of B&W and its subsidiaries, are eligible to participate. B&W has its own established Thrift Incentive Plan in which substantially all salaried employees, except non resident alien employees of foreign subsidiaries who do not earn income in the United States, are eligible to participate. Participation in the Plans is voluntary, and an employee may elect to contribute 2%, 4% or 6% of his compensation as basic contributions and if the maximum 6% is elected, the employee may make an additional 2%, 4% or 6% supplemental contribution. The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of the participants' basic contributions. Company contributions fully vest and are nonforfeitable after five years of participation in the Plans or upon retirement, death, or approved disability. The amounts charged to income under the Plans were $7,264,000, and $7,322,000 in fiscal 1980 and 1979, respectively.

Undistributed income of foreign subsidiaries included in consolidated retained earnings at March 31, 1980, amounted to approximately $483,800,000. 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 indefinitely reinvest said undistributed earnings in the foreign subsidiaries.

During the year ended March 31,1980, the Company renegotiated its revolving credit and term loan agreement, decreasing the borrowing limit from $285,000,000 to $150,000,000, at the prime interest rate until March 31, 1981 and then 104% of prime until March 31, 1983, at which time all outstanding borrowings will convert to a term loan payable in sixteen equal quarterly installments to maturity at March 31, 1987 at an interest rate of 108% of prime. The Company pays a commitment fee at the rate of % of 1% and a fee of 7.5% of prime per annum on the unused portion.
Maturities of long-term debt during the five fiscal years subsequent to March 31, 1980 are as follows: 1981 - $11,100,000; 1982 - $33,934,000; 1983 - $19,296,000; 1984 - $16,791,000; 1985 - $50,797,000.
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 covenants of these agreements at March 31, 1980, dividends were restricted to approximately $152,000,000.

At March 31, 1980 and 1979 the Company had borrowings outstanding of $18,740,000 and $9,501,000 under short-term lines of credit. The maximum available under the short-term lines of credit aggregated S118,798,000, and $65,153,000 at March 31, 1980 and 1979, respectively. Interest rates on the lines of credit ranged from 8.4% to 16.44% at March 31, 1980 and 6% to 14%% at March 31, 1979. Informal arrangements with the banks require maintenance of compensating balances which are not legally restricted by such banks. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 1980 and March 31, 1979, the maximum amounts of borrowings under these lines of credit were $37,012,000 and $38,550,000, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 13.47% for the 1980 fiscal year and 9.96% for the 1979 fiscal year on weighted average borrowings of $20,516,000 and $11,605,000, respectively. The weighted average interest, rates were computed by dividing the actual interest incurred on the short-term borrowings by the average short-term borrowings.
On March 31, 1980, the Company amended the J. Ray McDermott & Co., Inc., 9.70% sinking fund debentures due December 1, 1999, and 8.90% notes due December 1, 1984. Effective April 1, 1980, the amendments increased the annual interest rates on the debentures and notes to 10.20% and 9.40%, respectively, and modified convenants relating to the incurrence of funded debt and other matters to make them less restrictive.
NOTE 7 - 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 contracts and to fix prices and contract terms for marine construction projects in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. In 1978 the Company and Brown & Root each pleaded nolo contendere to the charges and were each fined $1,000,000. In March and April, 1979, three executive officers and a former chief executive officer of the Company (all but one of whom are 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 officers of the Company) have been named as defendants in 68 pending actions (67 of which have thus far been transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana) instituted by or on behalf of customers in the United States and abroad and in an action by a competitor, 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 allegedly sustained, in some cases as early as the mid-1950s. From contacts with potential claimants, it appears that additional private parties may assert treble damage claims against the Company similar to those described above, and a number of these potential claimants have received temporary waivers of the statute of limitations from the Company. 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 legal proceedings claiming amounts which are material, alleging, among other things, liability for damages allegedly caused by a nuclear incident at the nuclear power plant on Three Mile Island outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and violations of federal securities laws in connection with the acquisition of B&W. It is the opinion of management and of general counsel that the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial position.
Operating Leases-The following is a schedule of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year at March 31. 1980:

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Future minimum lease payments and leased property under capital leases are not material. Total rental expense for fiscal 1980 and 1979 was $98,519,000 and $83,315,000, 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 $185,309,000 at March 31, 1980. The Company and certain subsidiaries are contingently liable under letters of credit totalling $80,153,000 issued in connection with contract performance guarantees and under indemnity agreements for performance bonds on contracts.

E 13 - EFFECTS OF GENERAL INFLATION (Unaudited)
compliance with FASB Statement No. 33 "Financial Reporting and Changing Prices", certain lementary information relating to the effects of general inflation and changes in specific prices is ented below. The information adjusted for general inflation is calculated by adjusting cost of sales and eciation expense to a unit of common purchasing power determined by the Consumer Price Index for Jrban Consumers. The information adjusted for changes in specific prices is calculated by adjusting of sales and depreciation expense for changes in those prices that relate to property, plant and pment, and inventory being used in the activities of the business. No other items of revenue or rise in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income are adjusted. predation expense included in income adjusted for changes in general inflation and adjusted for ges in specific prices is computed using the same depreciation methods and depreciable lives as are for conventional financial statements. Property, plant and equipment which was acquired as part of icquisition of B&W has been included in information presented for changes in general inflation and in ific prices based on the fair market values assigned at the time of acquisition, March 31, 1978. iy comparison between the conventional financial statements and the required supplemental osures must be viewed with caution. The amounts shown adjusted for general inflation only correct iistortions caused by recording transactions in dollars of varying purchasing power. The amounts vn adjusted for changes in specific prices include the use of estimates and assumptions. Changes in vidual prices are caused in part by changes in the general purchasing power of the dollar and in part ither supply and demand factors including technological change.
ie provision for income taxes remains unchanged because income tax laws do not allow the Company !aim tax deductions related to these adjustments. These disclosures highlight an important view of the ipany's annual effective tax rate: 42% as presented in the conventional financial statements, 76% as .sted for the effects of general inflation, and 82% as adjusted for the effects of specific inflation, ie gain from the decline in purchasing power of net amounts owed reflects the fact that total liabilities mg a future fixed cash settlement exceeded total assets with similar characteristics. This unrealized ; theoretically represents the fact that net liabilities can be repaid with dollars having a lesser value i at the beginning of the year due to inflation. he increase in specific prices of inventories and property, plant and equipment represents the erence between the current cost amounts at the beginning of the year and the end of the year. Part of difference is attributable to inflation in general and part is attributable to economic factors affecting individual prices of the particular assets owned. To the extent that the difference has been realized by le during the year, it is included in income from operations on a current cost basis. The unrealized pordoes not represent receipt of cash and should not be considered as providing funds for reinvestment ividend distribution in the current period. ie net assets shown under changes in general inflation and under changes in specific prices are sted only for changes in inventory and property, plant and equipment.
