SUPERIOR OFFSHORE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect the
consolidated operations of Superior Offshore International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its
wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). The Company generates revenues primarily
by providing subsea construction and commercial diving services to the crude oil and natural gas
exploration and production and gathering and transmission industries operating internationally and
on the outer continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico. The Companys customers include many of the
large crude oil and natural gas producers, gathering and transmission companies and deepwater
construction companies.
Effective on April 18, 2007, Superior Offshore International, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited
liability company, merged with and into the Company. Upon the effectiveness of the merger, the
Company had outstanding 14,836,667 shares of common stock as a result of the issuance of
approximately 14,836.67 shares of common stock for each outstanding limited liability company
interest in Superior Offshore International, L.L.C. This recapitalization has been retroactively
reflected in the historical capital balances and earnings per share amounts for all periods
presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Companys
authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
The Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.
GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the presentations and disclosures
herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary
for a fair presentation of the interim periods. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial
statements included in the Companys Prospectus, dated April 19, 2007 and filed with the SEC on
April 20, 2007 under Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, relating to the Companys initial
public offering (the IPO Prospectus). The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
(2) Initial Public Offering
On April 25, 2007, the Company completed its initial public offering of 11,691,667 shares of
its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, including 3,025,000 shares sold by selling
stockholders (the Offering), as described in its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration
No. 333-136567) and the IPO Prospectus. The shares sold by the selling stockholders included
1,525,000 shares subject to the underwriters over-allotment option, which was exercised in full.
The Company received net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and
expenses of the Offering, of $118,116,246. On April 25,
2007, the Company:
|
|
|
repaid in full the senior secured term loan using $68,385,109 of the proceeds from
the Offering and $43,496,441 of the proceeds previously received from the senior
secured term loan that were held in a segregated account; |
|
|
|
|
used $6,571,000 of the proceeds from the Offering to repay outstanding borrowings
under the senior secured credit facility; and |
5

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
|
|
|
used $28,000,000 of the proceeds from the Offering to pay a special cash dividend to
the existing stockholders. |
The Company
expended the remaining $17,943,894 of the proceeds from the Offering on capital
expenditures during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
(3) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS
reflects the potential dilution to basic EPS if unvested shares of restricted stock were issued and
in-the-money stock options were exercised at the end of the period.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding in-the-money options to purchase 704,328
shares of common stock and 2,261,667 shares of unvested restricted stock. The Company had no
options or unvested restricted stock outstanding as of June 30, 2006.
The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings
(loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

The Company entered into a line of credit agreement dated April 12, 2005, as amended, with
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan) that provided for borrowings up to $5,500,000, the amount of
which was later
increased to $30,000,000 as of December 31, 2006. Borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2006
totaled $4,218,470 and bore interest at 7.25% (0.50% above the prime rate of JPMorgan). The line
of credit was paid off on February 27, 2007 with proceeds from the senior secured term loan entered
into on that date.
On February 27, 2007, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility with JPMorgan, which replaced the line of credit noted above. As amended on June 19, 2007, the
senior secured credit facility provides for $30,000,000 in revolving credit loans, which must be
repaid by February 2010. The amount from time to time available under the senior secured credit
facility may not exceed the sum of up to 85% of the Companys eligible accounts receivable less
reserves established by the administrative agent in its permitted
7
SUPERIOR OFFSHORE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
discretion, as that term is
described in the credit agreement. As amended on June 19, 2007, the senior secured credit facility
also includes availability for letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $25,000,000.
On August 14, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment to the senior secured credit
facility that, among other things, provides that at the request of the Company, the administrative
agent may in its sole discretion make revolving loans to the Company, in amounts that exceed
availability (as defined in the agreement governing the senior secured credit facility (the Credit
Facility Agreement)) (any such excess revolving loan, an Overadvance). The amendment also
provides that, so long as no event of default under the Credit Facility Agreement has occurred and
is continuing, the administrative agent will make Overadvances in an aggregate amount of up to
$7,500,000 at any time for a period of time beginning on August 14, 2007 until the earlier of (1) September 14, 2007
and (2) the date that the Export-Import Bank of the United States has guaranteed
certain foreign accounts receivable for the benefit of the senior secured credit facility lenders
under a transaction-specific revolving loan facility in an amount not less than $7,500,000. The
amendment also provides that no Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than 30 days, and no
Overadvance may cause any revolving lenders revolving exposure (as defined in the Credit Facility
Agreement) to exceed its revolving commitment (as defined in the Credit Facility Agreement). In
addition, the amendment provides that the Companys fixed charge coverage ratio may not be less
than 0.80 to 1.0 for the quarter ending September 30, 2007.
The Company had $13,146,719 outstanding under the senior secured credit facility as of June
30, 2007. The proceeds of the senior secured credit facility may be used for the Companys general
corporate purposes, including vessel construction costs and refinancing of certain existing
indebtedness. As of June 30, 2007, $15,612,108 was deposited in escrow (restricted cash) to secure
letters of credit required for the construction of the Superior
Achiever and for other capital
projects and charter agreements.
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility bear interest, at the Companys option, at
either (1) the greater of (a) JPMorgans prime rate and (b) the federal funds effective rate plus
0.5%, or (2) LIBOR (as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities)
plus a spread ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, subject to a performance-based grid. The effective
interest rate on these borrowings was 8.25% as of June 30, 2007.
The Company is obligated to pay the lenders certain fees on the average daily unadvanced
portion of the lenders loan commitments, and certain fees for issuance of letters of credit.
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility are subject to mandatory prepayment (1)
with the proceeds of certain asset sales, (2) with the proceeds
of certain sales of the Companys equity
securities, (3) with the proceeds from certain debt issuances, and (4) with any insurance proceeds
received in excess of $500,000 with respect to the collateral, subject, in each case, to certain
exceptions.
The senior secured credit facility contains certain financial covenants and ratios that the
Company is required to maintain, including a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.2 to 1.0,
with which compliance is measured at the end of each fiscal quarter on an annualized fiscal
year-to-date basis. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company was not in compliance with
this covenant. On August 14, 2007, the Company obtained a waiver from the lender with respect to
compliance with this covenant for the quarter ended June 30,
2007 and amended the senior
secured credit facility to allow the Company to maintain a fixed
charge coverage ratio of at least 0.8 to 1.0 for the quarter ending September
30, 2007.
On February 27, 2007, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan with a syndicate of
financial institutions. The senior secured term loan was in an aggregate principal amount of
$110,000,000. The senior secured term loan was repayable in five equal quarterly installments of
$275,000 beginning June 30, 2007, $825,000 of principal due in 2007 and in equal quarterly
installments of $3,750,000 beginning September 30, 2008, with the balance payable in February 2012.
The senior secured term loan bore interest, at the Companys option, at either (1) the greater of
(a) JPMorgans prime rate and (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, in each case plus a
spread equal to a performance-based grid, or (2) LIBOR (as adjusted for statutory reserve
requirements for eurocurrency liabilities) plus 3.5%.
The Company used the proceeds from the senior secured term loan to repay all outstanding
indebtedness, and the Company terminated its existing line of credit agreement and revolving credit
agreement as of February 27, 2007 upon repayment.
On April 25, 2007, the Company repaid in full the senior secured term loan using $68,385,109
of the proceeds from the Offering and $43,496,441 of the proceeds previously received from the
senior secured term loan that were being held in a segregated account. In April 2007, the Company
expensed the outstanding debt issuance
cost related to the senior secured term loan in the amount of $3,850,654. See Note 2 for
further discussion of the Offering.
On June 20, 2007, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility (the Term Loan
Facility) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Fortis Capital Corp., as
Administrative Agent. The Term Loan Facility provides for up to $60,000,000 in term loans,
which the Company has the option to increase, subject to the agreement by the lenders to provide
the necessary commitments, by up to $40,000,000 if the Company enters into a long-term,
non-cancelable charter for its newbuild DP III deepwater construction and dive support vessel, the
Superior Achiever, on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

SUPERIOR OFFSHORE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The Term Loan Facility is available for multiple borrowings in minimum amounts of $5,000,000
beginning on June 20, 2007 through December 31, 2008. Amounts borrowed and repaid may not be
reborrowed. Any commitments not drawn prior to December 31, 2008 will be cancelled. As of June
30, 2007, $25,000,000 was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at the Companys option, at either:
|
|
|
a base rate equal to the greater of |
|
|
|
the federal funds effective rate, plus 0.50%; and |
|
|
|
|
the prime lending rate; |
|
|
|
plus a spread equal to 1.00% per annum, or |
|
|
|
the London Interbank Offered Rate, plus a spread equal to 3.25% per annum. |
The Company is obligated to pay the lenders certain fees on the average daily unadvanced
portion of the lenders loan commitments.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility must be repaid in 19 equal quarterly installments,
commencing in March 2009, of 3.75% of the amount outstanding on December 31, 2008, with the balance
payable in December 2013. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility are subject to mandatory
prepayment (1) with 35% of the Companys excess cash flow in any fiscal quarter, commencing with
the quarter ending after the Superior Achiever is placed in service and (2) with the proceeds of
certain issuances of debt or equity or asset sales, as defined in the agreement governing the Term
Loan Facility.
The Term Loan Facility is secured by (1) a perfected first priority security interest in all
of the Companys vessels, equipment and other tangible assets, and (2) a perfected second priority
security interest in the Companys accounts receivable and inventory that are pledged in connection
with the senior secured credit facility.
The aggregate maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years subsequent to June 30,
2007 are: $3,701,630 in Year 1, $2,074,627 in Year 2, $3,864,227 in Year 3, $3,821,766 in Year 4,
$3,793,622 in Year 5 and $11,877,434 thereafter.

SUPERIOR OFFSHORE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
On February 26, 2007, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a company that Mr. Louis
E. Schaefer, Jr., the Chairman of the Board of the Company, owns in respect of the Companys
property in Houston, Texas. The agreement provides for monthly payments of $3,000 and may be
terminated by either party upon 30 days notice. The
Company terminated the lease agreement in the second quarter of 2007.
On February 26, 2007 the Company entered into two lease agreements with a company that Mr.
Schaefer owns in respect of the Companys property in Belle Chasse, Louisiana. Each agreement has
a term of three years and provides for monthly payments of $3,500 and $1,500, respectively.
On May 1, 2007, the Company entered into a sublease agreement for 13,882 square feet of office
space in Houston, Texas. This sublease agreement has a term of approximately two years and four
months and provides for average monthly payments of $26,803.
On May 1, 2007, the Company entered into four lease agreements for dive gas storage modules.
Each agreement has a term of five years and provides for monthly payments of $1,930.
On July 1, 2007, the Company entered into two lease agreements for dive gas storage modules.
Each agreement has a term of five years and provides for monthly payments of $1,930.
(b) Charters
On February 13, 2007, the Company entered into a contract for
the charter of the Adams
Surveyor. The contract term for the charter is one year,
subject to options to extend the charter for up to two additional
six-month periods. The Company took delivery of the
Adams Surveyor in March 2007.
On
June 27, 2007, the Company entered into a contract for the charter of the Toisa Puma, a DP
vessel. The contract term for the charter is two years,
subject to options to extend the charter for up to two additional
six-month periods. The Toisa Puma was delivered to the
Company in late July 2007.
On
June 27, 2007, the Company entered into a contract for the charter of the Crossmar XIV.
The contract term for the charter is through the completion of the assigned project. The Company
took delivery of the Crossmar XIV in early July 2007.
On
July 17, 2007, the Company entered into a contract for the charter of the Seamec III, a DP
vessel. The contract term for the charter is six months,
subject to options to extend the charter for up to three additional
six-month periods. The Company took delivery of the
Seamec III in late July 2007.
In
late July 2007, the Company determined that it was the tax withholding agent for a
foreign-owned vessel that operated in U.S. waters in 2004 and 2005. The charter agreement stipulates
that the vessel owner is responsible for payment of taxes. The Company is
required by law to withhold taxes with respect to payments made to the vessel owner, which should have
been done as payments were made in 2004 and 2005. The amount that should have been withheld, including interest,
is approximately $980,000, which the Company will attempt to collect
from the vessel owner.
Because collection of this amount cannot be assured, the Company has
recorded the total amount in cost
of revenues in the second quarter of 2007. The withholding tax relating to 2004 and 2005 is approximately $459,000 and $388,000,
respectively, excluding interest. The Company recorded the correction of this error in the three
months ended June 30, 2007 as an increase to cost of revenue of approximately $980,000, including
interest. Income tax benefit was increased by approximately $346,000, resulting in an increase in
the net loss of $634,000. Neither the origination nor the correction of the error was material to
the Companys financial statements.
(c) Purchase Commitments
On September 21, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the construction of
the Superior Achiever, a DP III deepwater construction and dive support vessel, for 61,735,500
(or approximately $80,000,000 based on current exchange rates at the time of payment of the initial
commitment fee and the first installment payment and reflecting the exchange rate set forth in the
Companys currency hedging agreement relating to the remaining installments described below). On
November 8, 2006, the Company entered into a hedging transaction with the purpose and effect of
capping the exchange rate, at 1.2975 U.S. dollars to 1 Euro, on $72,091,436 of payments relating to
the construction of the vessel through June 2008. The Company expects to place the vessel in
service in the second half of 2008. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had paid the shipbuilder
45,428,158 (or approximately $58,604,452), which is included in property and equipment.

On December 1, 2006, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire the subsea
construction, commercial diving, offshore crude oil and natural gas logistical support and marine
salvage businesses of Subtech Diving (Pty) Ltd. and Subtech Marine (Pty) Ltd. (Subtech Diving and
Marine) for $3,800,000. In addition, the Company will pay an additional estimated $3,900,000 in
the third quarter of 2007 based on the financial performance of the Companys Subtech subsidiary
through June 2007. See Note 10 for further discussion of the acquisition.
On March 8, 2007, the Company finalized the purchase agreement to acquire a saturation diving
system relating to the construction of the Superior Achiever for $16,900,000 due in various
installments through June 2008. The Company was required to deposit $1,690,000 upon entering into
the contract, which is included in property and equipment.
On March 29, 2007, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a remotely
operated vehicle, or ROV, for $4,089,216 due in various installments through May 2007, which the
Company has paid in full.
On July 26, 2007, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire two ROVs to be
placed onboard the Superior Achiever for $9,365,576 due in various installments through September
2008. The Company was required to deposit $900,000 to secure production slots for the two ROVs.
(d) Litigation
The Company is routinely involved in litigation, claims and disputes arising in the ordinary
course of its business. The Company does not believe that ultimate liability, if any, resulting
from any such pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
results of operations.
(7) Major Customers
The Companys customers consist primarily of integrated and independent crude oil and natural
gas exploration and production and gathering and transmission companies. The capital expenditures
of the Companys customers are generally dependent on their views of future crude oil and natural
gas prices and successful offshore drilling activity. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers and provides allowances for probable credit losses when necessary.
Customers accounting for more than 10% of consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

The amount of revenue accounted for by a customer depends on the level of construction
services the Company performs for the customer, which is based on the size of the customers
capital expenditure budget and the Companys ability to bid for and obtain the project.
Consequently, customers who account for a significant portion of the Companys revenues in one year
may represent an immaterial portion of revenues in subsequent years.
As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, three customers accounted for 55% and 50%,
respectively, of total billed and unbilled receivables. Accounts receivable related to these
customers totaled $21,768,740 and $27,961,621 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

(8) Contributions to Employee Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors a contributory 401(k) Plan in which salaried employees become eligible
after completing six months of service and attaining age 21. The plan allows participants to
contribute up to the Internal Revenue Service limit of $15,500 for 2007 (plus an additional amount
not to exceed $5,000 for employees over the age of 50), with the Company making safe harbor
contributions as needed and possible discretionary contributions. Plan expense for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007 was $208,237 and $444,951, respectively, and $164,661 and $316,506
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
(9) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007.
FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises
financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition. The Company has evaluated its tax positions for the tax years ended
December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, the tax years that remain subject to examination by major
tax jurisdictions as of June 30, 2007. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to
U.S. federal, state and local, or income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to
2003. The Company concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring
recognition in the financial statements. Accordingly, adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material
effect on the Companys financial statements.
The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax
jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to the
Companys financial results. Any interest or penalties assessed are classified as income tax
expenses.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will
be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is
currently evaluating the requirements of this new standard and has not concluded
its analysis on the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Companys
financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, Considering the Effects of
Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB
108). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of
prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The
pronouncement prescribes an approach whereby the effect of all unrecorded identified errors should
be considered on all of the financial statements rather than just either the effect on the balance
sheet or the income statement. The Company adopted the provisions of SAB 108 on January 1, 2007.
The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159), which permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently
evaluating the requirements of this new standard and any impact of its adoption on
the Companys financial position or results of operations.
(10) Acquisition
Effective December 1, 2006, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired the
subsea construction, commercial diving, offshore crude oil and natural gas logistical support and
marine salvage businesses of South Africa-based Subtech Diving and Marine for approximately
$2,800,000 (of which $969,688 was paid in January 2007), net of approximately $1,000,000 cash
acquired. In addition, additional contingent consideration estimated at $3,900,000 will be paid in
the third quarter of 2007 based on the financial performance of the Companys Subtech subsidiary
through June 2007. The acquisition was financed through cash from operations.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, with the purchase price paid by the Company being allocated to the net assets acquired
from Subtech Diving and Marine, as of the acquisition date, based on their estimated fair values.
The allocation of the purchase price was based on preliminary estimates subject to further
assessment and adjustment pending the results of the Companys final appraisals. The estimated
$3,900,000 total contingent consideration is probable, and thus, recorded in other current
liabilities, as of June 30, 2007.
Subtech Diving and Marines results of operations have been included in the Companys
Consolidated Statement of Operations since December 1, 2006. Pro forma results of operations have
not been presented because the effect of this acquisition was not material to the Companys
consolidated financial statements.

(12) Share-Based Compensation
On April 19, 2007, prior to the completion of the Offering, the Company granted (i) 2,163,333
shares of restricted stock under the Superior Offshore International
2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan) to
certain of its executive officers, employees and directors and (ii) options to purchase an
aggregate of 752,000 shares of common stock under the Plan to certain of its employees. The shares of restricted stock granted in April 2007
are subject to graded vesting over a three-year period or a four-and-one-half year period. In May 2007, the Company granted
(i) 121,667 shares of restricted stock under the Plan to certain of its executive officers and employees and (ii) options to purchase an
aggregate of 96,998 shares of common stock under the Plan to certain of its employees. The shares of restricted stock granted in May 2007 are
subject to graded vesting over a three-year period. The Company determined the fair value of
restricted stock awards based on the market price of its common stock on the date of grant.
The options to purchase shares of common stock that were granted prior to the completion of
the Offering and in May 2007 vest in equal increments over four years. The fair value of each
stock option granted was
estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life
of the options represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding. The
expected life of each issuance was based on the midpoint between the contractual vesting period and
the 10-year expiration of the options, if unexercised. As actual post-vest termination data
results are obtained in future years, the Company will transition to an expected life based on
historical exercise trends. The expected volatility is based on the average reported historical
volatility of the Companys competitors for a period approximating the expected life. The
risk-free interest rate is based on the observed U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time
the options were granted. The following table presents the weighted-average assumptions used in
the option pricing model for the three months ended June 30, 2007:

Compensation cost on all share-based awards will be recognized on a straight-line basis over
the vesting or service period, net of forfeitures. Compensation expense, net of tax, from the
amortization of share-based payments was $1,449,091 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007. The Company estimates that its remaining compensation expense, net of tax, from the
amortization of share-based payments for awards granted during the second quarter of 2007 will be
approximately $3,777,060 in 2007, $6,094,241 in 2008, $6,092,758 in 2009, $5,366,497 in 2010 and

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto appearing in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as with our
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Prospectus, dated
April 19, 2007 and filed with the SEC on April 20, 2007, relating to our initial public offering
(the IPO Prospectus). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under
the caption Risk Factors in our IPO Prospectus. For additional information concerning
forward-looking statements, please read Forward-Looking Information below.
Our Business
We generate revenues primarily by providing subsea construction and commercial diving services
to the crude oil and natural gas exploration and production and gathering and transmission
industries operating internationally and on the outer continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico. Our
customers include many of the large crude oil and natural gas producers, gathering and transmission
companies and deepwater construction companies. In the second quarter
of 2007, we made significant progress on implementing our strategy of
continuing to expand our business from shallow water operations in
the Gulf of Mexico to deepwater and international locations.
In order to help satisfy the increased demand for subsea construction and commercial diving
services, we have significantly expanded our capacity by acquiring vessels, chartering vessels on
both a long- and short-term basis and hiring diving and marine personnel. In addition, we have
broadened the scope of the services we provide to include higher-margin subsea and deepwater
construction services. Moreover, we regularly seek to provide services to third-party vessels and
charter vessels on a short-term basis during periods of high demand for our subsea construction and
commercial diving services.
We perform our services under dayrate or fixed-price contracts that are typically awarded
through a competitive bid process. In the current environment, all of our contracts are being
performed on a dayrate basis. Under a dayrate contract, we are paid a daily rate, which consists
of a base rate for our vessel and crews as well as cost reimbursements for materials and ancillary
activities, for as long as we provide our services. Our dayrates are determined by prevailing
market rates, vessel availability and historical rates paid by the specific customer. Fixed-price
contracts define the services that we will provide for an agreed-upon fixed price and certain cost
protections. Additional work, which is subject to customer approval, is billed separately.
Our fabrication business represented approximately 7.1% and 2.8% of our revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and approximately 7.1% and 3.1% of our revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in the percentage of
revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in 2006 is
due to a decrease in the number of Gulf of Mexico projects requiring fabrication. Although our
fabrication business represents a relatively small portion of our revenues, our fabrication
facility allows us to reduce our reliance on third-party suppliers and increase our ability to
complete projects on a timely and cost-effective basis.
Our costs of revenues are primarily a function of fleet configuration and utilization levels.
The most significant costs we incur are charter costs, labor costs and related employee benefits,
fuel, lube oil and third-party equipment rentals. A significant portion of the expenses incurred
with operating each vessel are paid for or reimbursed by our customers. These reimbursable expenses
include fuel, lube oil, meals and third-party equipment rentals. We record reimbursements from
customers as revenues and the related expenses as costs of revenues.
Our revenues are affected by drydockings of our vessels for periodic upgrade, refurbishment
and repair projects. Vessels in drydock do not earn income, and therefore our revenues will be
adversely affected during these projects. Upgrade, refurbishment and repair projects are subject
to delays and cost overruns inherent in any large construction project. As described in our
Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2007, two of our
dynamically positioned, or DP, vessels, the Superior Endeavour
and the Gulmar Condor, were in drydock during the second quarter of 2007 and
15
therefore did not earn income during the period.
The Gulmar Condor was placed in service
in July 2007, and we expect to place the Superior Endeavour back in service by the end of August
2007.
In addition, as
described in our Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2007, our
four-point vessels experienced low utilization rates during the first half of the second quarter of
2007, a trend that continued for the remainder of the period. We also ceased providing diving
personnel and technical expertise to the Toisa Proteus in mid-May 2007, which was the scheduled
expiration of the contract for those services, as described in our Quarterly Report for the period
ended March 31, 2007. These factors contributed to the decline in our revenues for the second
quarter of 2007 as compared with the same period in 2006.
Our Outlook
Our business was adversely affected in the second quarter of 2007 by the drydocking of the
Superior Endeavour for scheduled upgrades beginning in early February 2007, which resulted in a loss
of approximately 90 vessel revenue days in the second quarter of 2007, the continued low levels of
demand for the four-point surface dive vessel market, and the successful completion of our
provision of diving services and technical expertise to the Toisa Proteus in May 2007. During most
of the first quarter and all of the second quarter of 2007, only two of our DP vessels were available for work. For additional information about the second quarter of
2007, please read Results of OperationsThree Months Ended June 30, 2007 versus the Three Months
Ended June 30, 2006 below.
We currently
have two DP vessels in service, the Gulmar Condor and the
Adams Surveyor. These vessels are expected to have strong
utilization in the third quarter of 2007 and presently are experiencing near full utilization.
Following acceptance of delivery, the Toisa
Puma is expected to enter service by the end of August 2007 and perform ROV support in the Gulf of Mexico while her saturation diving system undergoes scheduled
re-certification. In addition, we now anticipate that the Superior Endeavour will return to
service by the end of August 2007 and is expected to immediately begin work for one of our customers.
Our fifth DP vessel, the Gulmar Falcon, was placed in drydock for scheduled maintenance in
July 2007 and is expected to return to service in Trinidad in September
2007. Average dayrates for
our working DP vessels have remained strong and consistent with the second quarter of 2007.
In June 2007, we commenced a significant project in Trinidad for a major energy company. The
project initially utilized the Gulmar Falcon prior to her scheduled drydocking. This vessel has
been replaced by the Gulmar Condor, the Seamec III and
the Crossmar XIV. The customer has also
acquired a right of first refusal with respect to the use of the Gulmar Falcon when that vessel re-enters
service. The project is on a dayrate basis and is scheduled to last for approximately four months.
Our four-point vessels have continued to experience low utilization rates during the first
half of the third quarter of 2007 primarily due to decreased demand for four-point surface dive
vessels, while pricing pressure has resulted in a decline in average dayrates for our four-point
vessels.
We are continuing to expand our business from shallow water operations in the Gulf of Mexico
to deepwater and international locations. We expect that approximately two-thirds of our revenues
for the second half of 2007 will be generated from non-hurricane-related, international operations.
We are considering establishing a more permanent presence in Trinidad in response to the demand of
several large exploration and production companies operating in that
area, and plan to increase our
ability to serve customers in the Middle East and Africa.
16
As discussed in Accounting for Share-Based Payments below, we began recording additional
compensation expense in the second quarter of 2007 as a result of the
issuance of restricted stock and options to our officers and
employees in April and May 2007.
The
foregoing statements concerning the second half of 2007
constitute forward-looking statements and are
subject to risks and uncertainties, including those described under the caption Risk Factors in
the IPO Prospectus. For additional information concerning forward-looking statements, please read

This vessel has been in the shipyard for upgrade and refurbishment since we acquired it in
December 2005. We are evaluating the engineering, refurbishment and future deployment of this
vessel. We do not expect to place this vessel in service in 2007. |
In addition to the vessels that we own or charter on a long-term basis, during periods of
significant demand we charter vessels on a short-term basis under contracts of less than six
months. We also provide diving personnel and technical expertise on vessels and platforms owned
and operated by third parties.
In June 2007, we entered into a cooperation agreement with Cross Logistics, Inc., the owner of
the Crossmar XIV, a 250-foot, four-point construction barge. The agreement expires in December
2007 and provides for us and Cross Logistics to cooperate in marketing our combined capabilities for certain
projects and to perform any resulting contracts. We and Cross
Logistics also have entered into a
time charter for the Crossmar XIV pursuant to which we are currently providing diving personnel,
dive equipment, an ROV and project supervision to the vessel in
17
connection with our Trinidad project. The Trinidad customer is responsible for payment of all
equipment and services provided under the charter. The Crossmar XIV is outfitted with a 140-ton
crane and has clear deck space of 4,565 square feet.
We also have entered into a contract for the construction of the Superior Achiever, a
430-foot, DP III deepwater construction and dive support vessel, which we expect to place in
service in the second half of 2008. This vessel will be outfitted with a 300-ton heave-compensated
abandonment and recovery winch, a 140-ton heave-compensated crane and a 160-ton crane. The
Superior Achiever also will have both a diving moon pool and working moon pool and will be equipped
with a 12-man, 1,000-foot rated, multichambered saturation diving system with hyperbaric rescue
chamber, with the ability to support a 24-man, twin-bell system.
Factors Affecting Our Operations
The primary factors affecting demand for our services are crude oil and natural gas prices,
which in turn influence levels of capital spending on offshore drilling and field development. In
the last two years, crude oil prices have increased substantially, with the annual average of the
NYMEX West Texas Intermediate, or WTI, crude oil 12-month strip futures price increasing from
$28.24 per barrel in 2003 to $69.47 per barrel in 2006. Natural gas prices have been more volatile
over the same period: although the annual average of the Henry Hub natural gas 12-month strip
futures price has increased from $5.28 per one million British thermal units, or Mmbtu, in 2003 to
$8.55 per Mmbtu in 2006, the Henry Hub natural gas 12-month strip futures price has been as high as
$12.47 per Mmbtu on September 29, 2005 and as low as $4.56 per Mmbtu on January 1, 2003. As of
June 29, 2007, the NYMEX WTI crude oil 12-month strip futures price was $71.65, and the Henry Hub
natural gas 12-month strip futures price was $7.95. We are also affected by strict regulatory
policies in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, which require periodic inspections, maintenance, repair and
ultimately decommissioning of production facilities and infrastructure. Although demand for our
services typically is highly correlated with capital spending on offshore drilling and development
activities, recently our business has been influenced more significantly by the demand for
hurricane-related repair work. Presently, all of our vessels are dedicated to infrastructure
construction, inspection and repair projects.
Vessel utilization provides a good indication of demand for our vessels and, as a result, the
contract rates we may charge for our services. Our vessel utilization is typically lower during
the first quarter, and to a lesser extent the fourth quarter, due to winter weather conditions in
the Gulf of Mexico.
Another key performance measure for our business is vessel revenue days. Vessel revenue days
indicate the total number of days that the vessels in our fleet and vessels subject to short-term
charters generated revenues. Although the number of vessel revenue days related to our owned and
long-term chartered vessels has increased as we have increased the size of our fleet, the number of
vessel revenue days related to short-term charters also increased in 2006 due to the additional
vessels we chartered in that period in response to increased demand for our services following
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Vessel revenue days in the first and second quarters of 2007 have
declined because of the drydocking of the Superior Endeavour for scheduled upgrades beginning in
February 2007, which resulted in the loss of approximately 90 vessel revenue days in the second
quarter, decreased demand for four-point vessels, and the successful completion of our provision
of diving services and technical expertise to the Toisa Proteus in May 2007.

The number of vessels as of the end of each period represents our DP and four-point
vessels owned or under long-term charter. Vessels acquired are treated as added to our fleet
as of the date we purchased the vessel. Vessels under long-term charter are treated as part
of our fleet during the term of the charter. We define long-term charters as charters of six
months or longer. Our method of computation of number of vessels may or may not be comparable
to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The number of vessels for the first
and second quarters of 2006 includes our ownership of the Gulf Diver IV and the Gulf Diver VI,
which were owned but not in service during those periods. The number of vessels for the third
and fourth quarters of 2006 includes our ownership of the Gulf Diver IV, which was owned but
not in service during those periods, and our charter of the American Salvor, which was under
long-term charter but not in service during those periods. The number of vessels for the
fourth quarter of 2006 and the first and second quarters of 2007 also includes our charter of
the Gulmar Condor, which was under long-term charter but not in service during those periods.
The number of vessels for the second quarter of 2007 also includes our ownership of the
Superior Endeavour, which was owned but not in service during that period. |

Recent Events
On April 25, 2007, we completed our initial public offering of 11,691,667 shares of our common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, including 8,666,667 shares sold by us and 3,025,000 shares sold
by selling stockholders. We received net proceeds from the initial public offering, after
deducting the underwriting discount and expenses of the offering, of $118.1 million. On April 25, 2007, we:
|
|
|
repaid in full our senior secured term loan using approximately $68.4 million
of the proceeds from our initial public offering and approximately $43.5 million of the
proceeds from the senior secured term loan that were held in a segregated account; |
19
|
|
|
used approximately $6.6 million of the proceeds from our initial public
offering to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility; and |
|
|
|
|
used $28.0 million of the proceeds from our initial public offering to pay a
special cash dividend to our existing stockholders. |
We
expended the remaining approximately $17.9 million of the proceeds from our initial public
offering on capital expenditures during the three months ended
June 30, 2007.
In June 2007, we entered into a six-year, $60.0 million senior secured term loan with a
syndicate of financial institutions. For additional information regarding the senior secured term
loan, please read Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLong-Term DebtSenior Secured Term Loan below.
In June 2007, we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit facility with JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. Among other things, the amendment (1) increases the amount available for
revolving credit loans under the senior secured credit facility from $20.0 million to $30.0 million
and (2) increases the availability for letters of credit under the senior secured credit facility
from $17.0 million to $25.0 million. For additional information regarding the senior secured
credit facility, please read Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLong-Term DebtSenior Secured Credit
Facility below.
In June 2007, we entered into a contract for the
charter of the Toisa Puma. The contract
term for the charter is two years, subject to options to extend the charter for up to two
additional six-month periods. The Toisa Puma was delivered to
us in late July 2007.
In June 2007, we entered into a contract for the
charter of the Crossmar XIV. The contract
term for the charter is through the completion of the assigned project. We took delivery of the
Crossmar XIV in early July 2007.
In July 2007, we entered into a contract for the
charter of the Seamec III. The contract
term for the charter is six months, subject to options to extend the charter for up to three
additional six-month periods. We took delivery of the Seamec III in late July 2007.
In August 2007, we entered into an amendment to our senior secured credit facility that,
among other things, provides that at our request, the administrative agent may in its sole
discretion make revolving loans to us, in amounts that exceed availability (as defined in the
agreement governing the senior secured credit facility). For additional information regarding the
amendment to the senior secured credit facility, please read Liquidity and Capital
ResourcesLong Term DebtSenior Secured Credit Facility below.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that are important to our results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows and require managements most difficult, subjective or complex
judgments. Different amounts would be reported under alternative assumptions. We have evaluated
the accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and
related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We apply those accounting
policies that we believe best reflect the underlying business and economic events, consistent with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We believe that our policies are
generally consistent with those used by other companies in our industry.
We periodically update the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements based on our latest assessment of the current and projected business and general
economic environment. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 to our
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in our IPO
Prospectus. There have been no material changes or developments in authoritative accounting
pronouncements or in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or
methodologies that we believe to be Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies as disclosed in our
IPO Prospectus.
Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
Our customers consist primarily of integrated and independent crude oil and natural gas
exploration and production and gathering and transmission companies. The capital expenditures of
our customers are generally dependent on their views of future crude oil and natural gas prices and
successful offshore drilling activity. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and
provide allowances for probable credit losses when necessary. Customers accounting for more than
10% of consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as
follows:

The amount of revenue accounted for by a customer depends on the level of construction
services we perform for the customer, which is based on the size of the customers capital
expenditure budget and our ability to bid for and obtain the project. Consequently, customers who
account for a significant portion of our revenues in one year may represent an immaterial portion
of revenues in subsequent years.
As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, three customers accounted for 55% and 50%,
respectively, of total billed and unbilled receivables. Accounts receivable related to these
customers totaled approximately $21.8 million and $28.0 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, respectively.
Seasonality
Our vessel utilization typically is lower during the first quarter, and to a lesser extent
during the fourth quarter, due to winter weather conditions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Due to
this seasonality, full year results are unlikely to be a direct multiple of any particular quarter
or combination of quarters. DP vessels, however, are less affected by adverse weather conditions;
as we perform more of our services from DP vessels, we expect that our operations will become less
susceptible to seasonal weather fluctuations.
Accounting for Share-Based Payments
Historically, we have not granted stock options or restricted stock to our employees.
However, prior to the completion of our initial public offering, we granted to certain of our
executive officers, employees and directors an aggregate of 2,163,333 shares of restricted stock
and options to purchase an aggregate of 752,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price
of $15.00 per share, which was the initial public offering price of our common stock. These awards
were made under our 2007 stock incentive plan and generally will vest in equal installments over a
three-, four-or four-and-one-half-year period. In May 2007, we granted to certain of our executive
officers and employees an aggregate of 121,667 shares of restricted stock and options to purchase
an aggregate of 96,998 shares of our common stock. We determined the fair value of restricted
stock awards based on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant and the fair value
of options using a Black Scholes option pricing model. The May 2007 awards were granted under our
2007 stock incentive plan and generally will vest in equal installments over a three- or four-year
period.
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of restricted stock and stock options to employees, to be recognized in
the financial statements based on their fair values. Under SFAS 123R, we recognize compensation
cost on a straight-line basis over the vesting or service period, net of forfeitures. Our
compensation expense, net of tax, from the amortization of share-based payments was approximately
$1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. We estimate that our remaining
compensation expense, net of tax, from the amortization of share-based payments for awards granted
during the second quarter of 2007 will be approximately $3.8 million in 2007, $6.1 million in 2008,
$6.1 million in 2009, $5.4 million in 2010 and $3.3 million in 2011. The foregoing estimates
constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties. The actual
future costs and timing of share-based payments could differ materially from these estimates. For
more information regarding stock-based awards and our 2007 stock incentive plan, please read Note
12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The body of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States is commonly referred
to as GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the SEC as one that purports to
measure historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes
or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measures. In this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we disclose EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is
calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense
(income), provision (benefit) for income taxes and
depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA is included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because our management believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for measuring our
ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements, and
EBITDA is commonly used by us and our investors to measure our ability to service indebtedness.
EBITDA is not a substitute for the GAAP measure of cash flow and is not
necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. In addition, it should be noted that
companies calculate EBITDA differently and, therefore, EBITDA as presented for us may not be
comparable to EBITDA reported by other companies. EBITDA has material limitations as a performance
measure because it excludes interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and
amortization.
EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was
approximately $(11.7) million and
$19.5 million, respectively, and EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was
approximately $(1.5) million and $38.9 million, respectively. The following table reconciles
EBITDA with our net cash provided
by (used in) operating activities.

The number of vessel revenue days is the total number of days the vessels generated revenue.
Our method of computation of number of vessel revenue days may or may not be comparable to
other similarly titled measures of other companies. |
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 versus the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $41.9 million compared with
$60.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $18.7 million. Our total
vessel revenue days were 362 in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 654 in the second quarter
of 2006. Our owned and long-term charter vessel revenue days were 234 in the second quarter of
2007 compared with 363 in the second quarter of 2006, and our short-term charter vessel revenue
days were 128 in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 291 in the second quarter of 2006. The
decrease in vessel revenue days is partially attributable to the drydocking of the Superior
Endeavour for scheduled upgrades beginning in early February 2007, which resulted in a loss of
approximately 90 vessel revenue days in the second quarter of 2007, and significantly lower
utilization of our four-point vessels due to decreased demand in the Gulf of Mexico. We expect to
place the Superior Endeavour back in service by the end of August 2007. In addition, we ceased
providing diving personnel and technical expertise to the Toisa Proteus in mid-May 2007, the
scheduled expiration of the contract for those services. Our revenues in the second quarter of
2007 were favorably affected by continued provision of diving personnel
and technical expertise on vessels and platforms owned and operated by third parties. The
drydocking of the Superior Endeavour and the decrease of short-term charters in the second quarter
of 2007 caused a shift in the composition of revenue days, which in combination with lower activity
levels resulted in lower operating margins than achieved in the second quarter of 2006.
Costs of Revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization). Costs of revenues consist mainly
of vessel charter costs, labor costs and related employee benefits, fuel and third-party equipment
rentals. Costs of revenues for the three months ended June 30,
2007 were $35.3 million compared
with $33.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $2.2 million. This
increase was due to an increase in labor costs and related employee benefits in connection with the
addition of employees of our Subtech subsidiary, and a write-off relating to withholding expense
with respect to a foreign-owned vessel, in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the second
quarter of 2006, partially offset by a decrease in vessel charter costs.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consist mainly of selling, general and administrative
costs not directly related to a specific project or job, depreciation and amortization, disposal of
assets, insurance and bad debt expense. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007
were $19.5 million compared with $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase
of $10.9 million. This increase was attributable to several factors: salaries, labor costs and
related employee benefits increased $2.7 million; stock-based compensation increased $2.2 million
due to the initiation of the 2007 stock incentive plan; professional fees increased $1.9 million
mainly due to reporting and other obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as
compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and bad debt expense increased $1.6 million due to a
write-off
24
associated with one customer of $1.8 million. In addition, we incurred $0.8 million in
connection with the relocation of our headquarters to Houston.
Non-Operating Expenses. Interest income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was
$0.4 million. Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $0 million. Loss
on extinguishment of debt was $3.9 million due to the write-off of debt issuance costs upon the
early payment of the senior secured term loan.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. Provision (benefit) for income taxes for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 was $(5.6) million compared with $6.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, a decrease of $12.2 million. This decrease was due to lower profitability. Our
effective tax rate was 34.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 35.4% for the three
months ended June 30, 2006.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 versus the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $96.2 million compared with
$110.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $13.8 million. Our total
vessel revenue days were 1,007 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with 1,411 for the
six months ended June 30, 2006. Our owned and long-term charter vessel revenue days were 431 for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with 599 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and
our short-term charter vessel revenue days were 576 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared
with 812 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in vessel revenue days is partially
attributable to the drydocking of the Superior Endeavour for scheduled upgrades beginning in early
February 2007, which resulted in a loss of approximately 144 vessel revenue days for the six months
ended June 30, 2007, and significantly lower utilization of our four-point vessels due to decreased
demand in the Gulf of Mexico. We expect to place the Superior Endeavour back in service by the end
of August 2007. Our vessel revenue days also suffered from lower utilization of our four-point
vessels resulting from winter weather conditions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that historically
affect vessel utilization in the first quarter of each year. We experienced higher utilization of
our four-point vessels for the six months ended June 30, 2006 than we would normally expect because
certain customers paid us standby rates to ensure that our vessels were available to make
significant hurricane related repairs as weather improved. Our revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 were favorably affected by continued provision of
diving personnel and technical expertise on vessels and platforms owned and operated by third
parties. The drydocking of the Superior Endeavour and the decrease of short-term charters in the
first half of 2007 caused a shift in the composition of revenue days, which in combination with
lower activity levels resulted in lower operating margins than achieved for the six months ended
June 30, 2006.
Costs of Revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization). Costs of revenues consist mainly
of vessel charter costs, labor costs and related employee benefits, fuel and third-party equipment
rentals. Costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2007 were $68.3 million compared with
$57.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an
increase of $11.3 million. This increase
was due to an increase in labor costs and related employee benefits in connection with the addition of
employees of our Subtech subsidiary, and a write-off relating to
withholding expense with respect to a
foreign-owned vessel, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2006, partially offset by a decrease in vessel charter costs.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consist mainly of selling, general and administrative
costs not directly related to a specific project or job, depreciation and amortization, disposal of
assets, insurance and bad debt expense. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007
were $31.8 million compared with $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase
of $16.2 million. This increase was attributable to several factors: salaries, labor costs and
related employee benefits increased $5.5 million; stock-based compensation increased $2.2 million
due to the initiation of the 2007 stock incentive plan; professional fees increased $2.8 million
mainly due to reporting and other obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as
compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and bad debt expense increased $1.7 million due to a
write-off associated with one customer of $1.8 million. In addition, we incurred $0.8 million in
connection with the relocation of our headquarters to Houston.
25
Non-Operating Expenses (Income). Interest income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2007
was $0.6 million. Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.3 million.
Loss on extinguishment of debt was $3.9 million due to the write-off of debt issuance costs upon
the early payment of the senior secured term loan.
Provision
(Benefit) for Income Taxes. Provision (benefit) for income taxes for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 was $(2.6) million compared with $13.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 2006, a decrease of $15.7 million. This decrease was due to lower profitability. Our effective
tax rate was 35.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and
35.2% for the six months ended June
30, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
The principal uses of cash in our business have been investments in our assets, particularly
for the acquisition of vessels, the subsequent refurbishment and upgrade of newly acquired vessels
and the enhancement of our existing vessels, and funding working capital, losses from operations
and repayment of debt. Cash to fund the needs of our business has been provided primarily by
operations, our initial public offering and debt financing.
We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.5 million as of June 30, 2007, a decrease
of approximately $1.0 million from December 31, 2006. The primary sources of cash for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 were $110.9 million provided by financing activities. The primary uses
of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $88.2 million for capital expenditures, $12.3
million used by operating activities, $10.8 million deposited in a segregated account and in escrow
to secure letters of credit required for the construction of the Superior Achiever and other
capital projects, and $1.0 million, net to acquire Subtech Diving and Marine. Major capital
projects during the six months ended June 30, 2007 included expenditures for the construction of
the Superior Achiever, upgrades to the Superior Endeavour, the enhancement of existing vessels and
the acquisition of diving equipment, including equipment relating to saturation diving systems.
On April 25, 2007, we completed our initial public offering of 11,691,667 shares of our common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, including 8,666,667 shares sold by us and 3,025,000 shares sold
by selling stockholders. We received net proceeds from the initial public offering, after
deducting the underwriting discount and expenses of the offering, of $118.1 million. On April 25, 2007, we:
|
|
|
repaid in full our senior secured term loan using approximately $68.4 million of the
proceeds from our initial public offering and approximately $43.5 million of the
proceeds from the senior secured term loan that were held in a segregated account; |
|
|
|
|
used approximately $6.6 million of the proceeds from our initial public offering to
repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility; and |
|
|
|
|
used $28.0 million of the proceeds from our initial public offering to pay a special
cash dividend to our existing stockholders. |
We expended the remaining approximately $17.9 million of the proceeds
from our initial public offering on capital expenditures during the three months ended
June 30, 2007.
On June 20, 2007, we entered into a senior secured term loan facility with a syndicate of
financial institutions led by Fortis Capital Corp., as Administrative Agent. We received $25.0
million of proceeds from the senior secured term loan facility. We used the proceeds to pay $9.3
million towards our 2006 federal tax liability, $2.0 million towards our 2007 federal tax liability
and $13.7 million for general corporate purposes.
Capital Expenditures
During the first six months of 2007, we spent approximately $83.5 million on capital
expenditures related to the construction of the Superior Achiever and related equipment as well as
refurbishments and upgrades to our fleet and other items. We currently intend to spend an
additional $26.0 million in the last six months of 2007 for
26
capital expenditures related to the construction of the Superior Achiever, refurbishments and
upgrades to our fleet and other items. In addition, we expect remaining total capital expenditures
related to the construction of the Superior Achiever and related equipment in 2008 to be
approximately $40.8 million. We also will pay an estimated $3.9 million in the third quarter of
2007 in connection with our acquisition of the businesses of Subtech Diving and Marine in December
2006, based on the financial performance of our Subtech subsidiary through June 2007.
From time to time, we may review possible acquisitions of vessels, equipment or businesses,
joint ventures, mergers or other business combinations. We may not, however, be successful in our
acquisition efforts. If we do complete any such acquisitions, we may make significant capital
commitments for such purposes. Any such transactions could involve the payment by us of a
substantial amount of cash. We likely would fund the cash portion of such transactions, if any,
through cash balances on hand, the incurrence of additional debt, sales of assets, equity interests
or other securities or a combination thereof. If we acquire additional vessels, equipment or other
assets, we would expect that the ongoing capital expenditures for our company as a whole would
increase to maintain our vessels and equipment.
Our ability to fund capital expenditures would be adversely affected if conditions deteriorate
in our business or industry, we experience poor results in our operations or we fail to meet
covenants under our credit facility.
Liquidity Needs
We have posted a cash collateralized letter of credit in
favor of the builder of the Superior Achiever for approximately 6.2 million (or approximately
$8.0 million), which may be applied to the last progress payment in 2008.
We have a senior secured credit facility that provides for $30.0 million in revolving credit
loans, $13.1 million of which was outstanding as of June 30, 2007. We also have a senior secured
term loan facility that provides for up to $60.0 million in term loans, which we have the option to
increase, subject to the agreement by the lenders to provide the necessary commitments, by up to
$40.0 million if we enter into a long-term, non-cancelable charter for the Superior Achiever on
terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent. We had $25.0 million outstanding under this senior
secured term loan facility as of June 30, 2007.
We believe that our current cash on hand and our cash flow from operations for the next 12
months, together with availability under our senior secured credit facility and our senior secured
term loan, will be adequate during such period to meet our working capital requirements, to make
our planned capital expenditures, to repay our debts as they become due and otherwise to operate
our business. We are pursuing a new revolving credit facility that we believe would better accommodate the
continuing expansion of our business into deepwater and international locations and provide greater
liquidity and borrowing base capacity than is available under our existing senior secured credit
facility. Our ability to fund planned capital expenditures and to make payments on our
indebtedness in the future will depend on our ability to generate cash, which is subject to general
economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our
control. Our future cash flows may be insufficient to meet all of our debt obligations and
commitments, and any insufficiency could negatively impact our business. To the extent we are
unable to repay our indebtedness as it becomes due or at maturity with cash on hand or from other
sources, we will need to refinance our debt, sell assets or repay the debt with the proceeds from
further equity offerings. Additional indebtedness or equity financing may not be available to us
in the future for the refinancing or repayment of existing indebtedness, and we can provide no
assurance as to the timing of any asset sales or the proceeds that could be realized by us from any
such asset sale.
Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2007, including current maturities, was
$42.3 million.
Senior Secured Term Loan. In June 2007, we entered into a senior secured term loan facility
(the Term Loan Facility) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Fortis Capital Corp.,
as Administrative Agent. The Term Loan Facility provides for up to $60.0 million in term loans,
which we have the option to increase, subject to the
27
agreement by the lenders to provide the necessary commitments, by up to $40.0 million if we
enter into a long-term, non-cancelable charter for the Superior Achiever on terms acceptable to the
Administrative Agent.
The Term Loan Facility is available for multiple borrowings in minimum amounts of $5.0 million
beginning on June 20, 2007 through December 31, 2008. Amounts borrowed and repaid may not be
reborrowed. Any commitments not drawn prior to December 31, 2008 will be cancelled. As of June 30,
2007, $25.0 million was outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at our option, at either:
|
|
|
a base rate equal to the greater of |
- the federal funds effective rate, plus 0.50%; and
- the prime lending rate;
plus a spread equal to 1.00% per annum, or
|
|
|
the London Interbank Offered Rate, plus a spread equal to 3.25% per annum. |
We are obligated to pay the lenders certain fees on the average daily unadvanced portion of
the lenders loan commitments.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility must be repaid in 19 equal quarterly installments,
commencing in March 2009, of 3.75% of the amount outstanding on December 31, 2008, with the balance
payable in December 2013. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility are subject to mandatory
prepayment (1) with 35% of our excess cash flow in any fiscal quarter, commencing with the quarter
ending after the Superior Achiever is placed in service and (2) with the proceeds of certain
issuances of debt or equity or asset sales, as defined in the agreement governing the Term Loan
Facility (the Term Loan Agreement).
The Term Loan Facility is secured by (1) a perfected first priority security interest in all
of our vessels, equipment and other tangible assets, and (2) a perfected second priority security
interest in our accounts receivable and inventory that are pledged in connection with the senior
secured credit facility described under Senior Secured Credit Facility below.
The Term Loan Agreement contains covenants that include, among others:
|
|
|
the maintenance of a ratio of consolidated total debt (as defined in the Term Loan
Agreement) to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) of no greater
than 2.0 to 1.0; |
|
|
|
|
the maintenance of a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense
(as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) of at least 5.0 to 1.0; |
|
|
|
|
the maintenance of a ratio of appraised fair market
value of vessels (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) and related equipment pledged
as collateral to outstanding borrowings under the senior secured term loan facility of
at least 1.20 to 1.0 until December 31, 2008 and 2.0 to 1.0 thereafter; |
|
|
|
|
restrictions on incurring indebtedness, including certain capital lease, guarantee
and charter obligations; |
|
|
|
|
restrictions on incurring liens on certain of our property and the property of our subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
restrictions on selling assets or inventory outside the ordinary course of business; |
28
|
|
|
prohibitions on entering into sale and leaseback transactions; and |
|
|
|
|
restrictions on transactions with affiliates and materially changing our business. |

Term Loan Agreement also includes customary events of default, which include our failure to
make a payment in respect of certain indebtedness other than the Term Loan Facility in excess of
$2.5 million, or the occurrence of an event of default resulting in or permitting the acceleration
of such indebtedness. If a default occurs and is continuing, we may be required to repay all
amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. We are currently in
compliance with the covenants contained in the Term Loan Agreement.
Senior Secured Credit Facility. In February 2007, we entered into a senior secured credit
facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. As amended in June 2007, the senior secured credit
facility provides for $30.0 million in revolving credit loans, which must be repaid by February
2010. The amount from time to time available under the senior secured credit facility may not
exceed the sum of up to 85% of our eligible accounts receivable less reserves established by the
administrative agent in its permitted discretion, as that term is described in the credit
agreement. As amended in June 2007, the senior secured credit facility also includes availability
for letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million.
In August 2007, we entered into an amendment to the senior secured credit facility that,
among other things, provides that at our request, the administrative agent may in its sole
discretion make revolving loans to us, in amounts that exceed availability (as defined in the
agreement governing the senior secured credit facility (the Credit Facility Agreement)) (any such
excess revolving loan, an Overadvance). The amendment also provides that, so long as no event of
default under the Credit Facility Agreement has occurred and is continuing, the administrative
agent will make Overadvances in an aggregate amount of up to $7.5 million at any time for a period
of time beginning on August 14, 2007 until the earlier of (1) September 14, 2007 and (2) the date
that the Export-Import Bank of the United States has guaranteed certain foreign accounts receivable
for the benefit of the senior secured credit facility lenders under a transaction-specific
revolving loan facility in an amount not less than $7.5 million. The amendment also provides that
no Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than 30 days, and no Overadvance may cause any
revolving lenders revolving exposure (as defined in the Credit Facility Agreement) to exceed its
revolving commitment (as defined in the Credit Facility Agreement). In addition, the amendment
provides that our ratio of EBITDA minus the unfinanced portion of capital expenditures to fixed
charges may not be less than 0.80 to 1.0 for the quarter ending September 30, 2007.
The proceeds of the senior secured credit facility may be used for our general corporate
purposes, including vessel construction costs and refinancing of certain existing indebtedness.
All borrowings under the senior secured credit facility bear interest, at our option, at either:
|
|
|
a base rate equal to the higher of: |
- JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.s prime rate, and
- the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%,
plus a spread subject to a performance-based grid, or
|
|
|
LIBOR (as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities)
plus a spread ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, subject to a performance based grid. |
We are obligated to pay the lenders certain fees on the average daily unadvanced portion of
the lenders loan commitments, and certain fees for issuance of letters of credit.
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility are subject to mandatory prepayment (1)
with the proceeds of certain asset sales, (2) with the proceeds of certain sales of our equity
securities, (3) with the proceeds from certain debt issuances, and (4) with any insurance proceeds
received in excess of $0.5 million with respect to the collateral, subject, in each case, to
certain exceptions.
The senior secured credit facility is secured by (1) a perfected first priority lien on our
accounts receivable and inventory, and (2) a perfected second priority lien on all of our assets,
other than accounts receivable and inventory.
The Credit Facility Agreement contains covenants that include, among others:
|
|
|
the maintenance of a ratio of consolidated total debt (as defined in the Credit
Facility Agreement) to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility
Agreement) of no greater than 2.0 to 1.0; |
|
|
|
|
the maintenance of a ratio of EBITDA minus the unfinanced portion of capital
expenditures to fixed charges (the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio) of at least 1.2 to 1.0; |
29
|
|
|
restrictions on incurring indebtedness, including certain capital lease, guarantee
and charter obligations; |
|
|
|
|
restrictions on incurring liens on certain of our property and the property of our subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
restrictions on selling assets or inventory outside the ordinary course of business; |
|
|
|
|
prohibitions on entering into sale and leaseback transactions; and |
|
|
|
|
restrictions on transactions with affiliates and materially changing our business. |
The
Credit Facility Agreement also includes customary events of default, which include
our failure to make a payment in respect of certain indebtedness other than the senior secured
credit facility in excess of $2.5 million, or the occurrence of an event resulting in or permitting
the acceleration of such indebtedness. If a default occurs and is continuing, we may be required
to repay all amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facility. We are currently in
compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Facility Agreement, other than the
maintenance of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. In August
2007, we obtained a waiver from the lender with respect to compliance with this covenant for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 and amended the senior secured
credit facility to allow us to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
of at least 0.8. to 1.0 for the quarter ending September 30, 2007.

This table does not include an estimated $3.9 million that we will pay in the third quarter
of 2007 in connection with our acquisition of the businesses of Subtech Diving and Marine in
December 2006, based on the financial performance of our Subtech subsidiary through June 2007. |
|
(2) |
|
These amounts represent our obligations relating to the construction of the Superior Achiever
as of June 30, 2007. The total estimated construction cost of the Superior Achiever,
including equipment and change orders made to date, is expected to be approximately $129.6
million. On each of April 2, 2007 and May 4, 2007, we made a scheduled payment of $16.0
million related to the construction of the Superior Achiever. As of August 8, 2007, we have
paid the shipbuilder 47.4 million (or approximately $61.4 million) and equipment vendors
approximately $7.6 million in connection with the construction of the Superior Achiever. The
total estimated future capital expenditures for the construction of this vessel as of August
8, 2007 are expected to be approximately $60.6 million. We also may expend significant
additional capital, currently estimated at up to $10.0 million, to enable the vessel to
perform most full-field development services, including deepwater small-diameter pipelay and
umbilical installation. |

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking
statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be,
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible
or assumed future business and financial performance and results of operations, including
statements about the following subjects:
|
|
|
our strategy, including the expansion and growth of our operations and our ability
to make future acquisitions on attractive terms; |
|
|
|
|
our plans, expectations and any effects of capitalizing on strong market conditions
in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, expanding the breadth of services in our core market,

interest expense; debt level; and other matters with regard to the outlook of our
business and industry; and |
|
|

31
We have based these statements on our assumptions and analyses in light of our experience and
perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors
we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements by their nature
involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, and
actual future results could differ materially from those described in such statements. Although it
is not possible to identify all factors, we continue to face many risks and uncertainties. Among
the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and
uncertainties described under the caption Risk Factors in our IPO Prospectus and the following:
|
|
|
crude oil and natural gas prices, and industry expectations about future prices; |
|
|
|
|
demand for subsea construction and commercial diving services; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to enter into and the terms of future contracts; |
|
|
|
|
the impact of governmental laws and regulations; |
|
|
|
|
the adequacy of sources of liquidity; |
|
|
|
|
uncertainties relating to the level of activity in offshore crude oil and natural
gas exploration, development and production; |
|
|
|
|
competition and market conditions in the subsea construction and commercial diving industry; |
|
|
|
|
the availability of skilled personnel; |
|
|
|
|
labor relations and work stoppages; |
|
|
|
|
operating hazards, war, terrorism and cancellation or unavailability of insurance coverage; |
|
|
|
|
the effect of litigation and contingencies; and |
|
|
|
|
our inability to achieve our plans or carry out our strategy. |
Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Any of these factors, or
a combination of these factors, could materially affect our future financial condition or results
of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and our actual results and future
developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Management cautions against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting any
future results based on such statements or present or prior earnings levels. In addition, each
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake
no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
In February 2007, we entered into a senior secured credit facility, which bears interest at a
variable rate as discussed above in Item 2 under the caption Liquidity and Capital
ResourcesLong-Term DebtSenior Secured Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2007, the interest rate
on borrowings outstanding under our senior secured credit facility was 8.25%. A hypothetical
100-basis point increase in the interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our senior secured
credit facility would increase our annual interest payments by approximately $70,000.
In June 2007, we entered into a six-year, $60.0 million senior secured term loan facility,
which bears interest at a variable rate, as discussed above in Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLong-Term DebtSenior Secured Term Loan
in Item 2 of Part I of this report. As of June 30, 2007, the interest rate on our senior secured
term loan was 8.65%. A hypothetical 100-basis point increase
32
in the interest rate on our senior secured term loan would increase our annual interest
payments by approximately $250,000.
Payments under our contract for the construction of the Superior Achiever are denominated in
Euros. In November 2006, we entered into a hedging transaction with the purpose and effect of
capping the exchange rate, at 1.2975 U.S. dollars to 1 Euro, on approximately $72.1 million of
payments relating to the construction of the Superior Achiever through June 2008 (excluding
equipment purchases). Nevertheless, we may still be subject to the risk of fluctuations in
currency exchange rates with respect to any Euro-denominated payments relating to change orders
under the newbuild construction contract or equipment purchased for the Superior Achiever.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
See Item 4T below.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act)), as of June 30, 2007. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2007, our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months
ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
33
PART IIOTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are routinely involved in litigation, claims and disputes arising in the ordinary course of
our business. We do not believe that ultimate liability, if any, resulting from any such pending
litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On April 18, 2007 our predecessor, Superior Offshore International, L.L.C., reincorporated in
Delaware by merging into Superior Offshore International, Inc., which was the issuer of the shares
in the offering, in a transaction that we refer to as the Reorganization. At the time of the
Reorganization, each of the outstanding membership interests in Superior Offshore International,
L.L.C. was exchanged for approximately 14,836.67 shares of common stock. The issuance of common
stock to the members of Superior Offshore International, L.L.C. in the Reorganization was exempt
from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of the exemption provided under Section
3(a)(9) thereof as the common stock was exchanged by us with our existing security holders
exclusively where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for
soliciting such exchange. The issuance of the common stock also was exempt from registration under
the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof as a transaction not involving a public
offering.
On April 19, 2007 we granted an aggregate of 2,163,333 shares of restricted stock under the
Superior Offshore international 2007 Stock Incentive Plan to certain of our executive officers,
employees and directors and options to purchase an aggregate of 752,000 shares of common stock
under the Superior Offshore International 2007 Stock Incentive Plan to certain of our employees.
The issuance of the restricted stock and options to purchase common stock was exempt from
registration under the Securities Act by virtue of the exemption provided under Rule 701 thereof as
an offer of securities under a written compensatory benefit plan established by the issuer for the
participation of its directors, officers, employees and consultants.
