CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.

Golden State Petroleum Transport Corporation, or the Company, desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. This report and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. When used in this report, the words "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should", "expect" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to these important factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charterhire rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the tanker market, including changes in demand resulting from changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and world wide oil consumption and storage, changes in the Company's operating expenses, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, and other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission.

Description of business and basis of preparation

Golden State Petroleum Transport Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 5, 1996. The Company is a special purpose corporation that was organized solely for the purpose of issuing, as agent for two affiliated entities, Golden State Petro (IOM I-A) PLC and Golden State Petro (IOM I-B) PLC (collectively, the "Owners") Serial and Term mortgage notes (together the "Notes"). These Notes were issued on December 24, 1996 and January 6, 1997 and the proceeds were used by the Owners to finance the construction and acquisition of two very large crude carriers for charter to an unaffiliated third party. The mortgage notes are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, the Company. The Serial Notes were fully repaid on February 1, 2006.

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden State Holdings I, Limited, an Isle of Man holding company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Independent Tankers Corporation ("ITC"). ITC is in turn controlled by Frontline, a publicly listed Bermuda company.

In February, 2008, Frontline established an intermediary holding company, Independent Tankers Corporation Limited ("ITCL") to hold its investment in ITC. Frontline then distributed 17.53% of ITCL's common shares to Frontline's common shareholders. These shares trade on the Norwegian over-the-counter market. The balance of ITCL's common shares is indirectly owned by Frontline.

In accordance with a management agreement between each of the Owners and Frontline, Frontline provides administrative, management and advisory services to the Owners at an annual fee of $50,000 each, payable semi-annually. All cost of administering the Owners and the Company are payable by Frontline from the management fee. The management agreement is effective until termination by either party upon 30 days prior written notice.

The interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of a full year's results. The Company does not have any Other Comprehensive Income.
