Item 8.01 Other Events.
Trico is filing as Exhibit 99.8 to this Report the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of Trico Marine Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2008, including a Financial Statement Schedule-Valuation and Qualifying Accounts (the "Annual Financial Statements"). Trico is also filing as Exhibit 99.9 to this Report the Consolidated Financial Statements of Trico Marine Services, Inc. as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (the "Interim Financial Statements"). In addition, Trico is also filing as Exhibit 99.10 to this Report the Trico Marine Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries-Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations. The Annual Financial Statements and the Interim Financial Statements (collectively, the "Financial Statements") have been updated from the financial statements included in Trico's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed on March 12, 2009 (the "2008 Form 10-K") and Trico's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of June 30, 2009 filed on August 10, 2009 (the "2nd Quarter 10-Q"), respectively, solely as described below.
Trico is filing the Financial Statements herewith to include a footnote to the Financial Statements containing supplemental condensed consolidating financial information in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X (Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act and to reflect

the impact of subsequent events on Trico's liquidity. The Annual Financial Statements are also being filed herewith to reflect the retrospective application of accounting standards described below that affect comparability to prior periods. The Interim Financial Statements included in the 2nd quarter Form 10-Q filed by the Company as of August 10, 2009 reflected the retrospective application of these accounting standards.
The Annual Financial Statements and the information in this Report related to the Annual Financial Statements do not reflect any events occurring after March 12, 2009 or modify or update the disclosures in our 2008 Form 10-K that may have been affected by subsequent events other than those described in this Report. The Interim Financial Statements and the information in this Report related to the Interim Financial Statements do not reflect any events occurring after August 10, 2009 or modify or update the disclosures in our 2nd Quarter 10-Q that may have been affected by subsequent events other than those described in this Report. Accordingly, this Report should be read in conjunction with the 2008 Form 10-K and the 2nd Quarter 10-Q and our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of our 2008 Form 10-K, including any amendments to those filings.
Trico's liquidity outlook has changed as a result of events occurring subsequent to the issuance of our 2008 Form 10-K. As a result, we have updated Note 2 (Risks and Uncertainties) in our Financial Statements to describe these events, to reflect the risk and uncertainties that raise substantial doubt about Trico's ability to continue as a going concern and management's plans to address such uncertainties, including through the Notes offering. Additionally, the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm with respect to the Financial Statements has been modified to address Trico's ability to continue as a going concern.
As previously disclosed in our 2008 Form 10-K, in May 2008 the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Staff Position APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" (the "FSP" or "APB 14-1"), which clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. APB 14-1 requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. APB 14-1 requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in the issuer's consolidated statement of operations. The adoption of APB 14-1 affects the accounting for our 3% Senior Convertible Debentures due 2027. Additionally, in December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("FAS 160"). FAS 160 states that accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. FAS 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. On January 1, 2009, we adopted APB 14-1 and FAS 160 and applied them retrospectively to our annual financial statements as discussed herein.
The information contained in the preliminary offering memorandum referred to in Item 7.01 reflects the matters discussed in this Item 8.01, to the extent applicable.
