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.

California 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, fluctuations in currencies and interest rates, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charterhire rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the tanker market, changes in world wide oil production and consumption and storage, changes in the Company's operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, 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, political events or acts by terrorists, 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.

1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 

California Petroleum Transport Corporation (the "Company"), which is incorporated in Delaware, is a special purpose corporation that was organized solely for the purpose of issuing, as agent on behalf of CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited and CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited (each an "Owner" and together, the "Owners"), $167,500,000 of Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes, or the Serial Notes, and $117,900,000 of 8.52% First Preferred Mortgage Notes due in 2015, which we refer to as the Term Notes and together with the Serial Notes, the Notes. The Serial Notes were fully repaid on April 1, 2006. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes were applied by way of long-term loans, applying Serial Loans in respect of the Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes and Term Loans in respect of the First Preferred Mortgage Notes due in 2015, to the Owners to fund the acquisition of four vessels from Chevron Transport Corporation ("Chevron").

Currently, the Owners charter three of the vessels (the "Vessels") to Chevron under bareboat charters that are expected to provide sufficient payments to cover the Owners' obligations to the Company. CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited and CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited received no notice from Chevron to terminate their bareboat charters by the required dates. Consequently, the charters will continue until April 1, 2015.

The fourth Vessel (the "Front Voyager") was chartered under a bareboat charter to Front Voyager Inc. (the "Charterer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Frontline Ltd., or Frontline (the "Front Voyager Charter"). Pursuant to the Front Voyager Charter, the Charterer agreed to charter the Front Voyager as of April 1, 2006 for an initial two-year period (the "Initial Period") with an additional seven one-year optional periods. The charterhire payable for the Initial Period was $5.05 million. This was prepaid in full on March 31, 2006. On March 25, 2009, the Charterer exercised its option to extend the Front Voyager Charter for the second one-year optional period beginning April 1, 2009 at a cost of $1.8 million. On January 5, 2010, the Charterer gave notice that it would terminate the Front Voyager Charter and paid a termination fee of $4.9 million on April 1, 2010 in accordance with the Front Voyager Charter. A Memorandum of Agreement, dated March 15, 2010, was signed regarding the sale of the Front Voyager for $8.3 million and delivery to the buyer occurred on April 8, 2010. Following the sale of the Front Voyager and the scheduled repayment by the Company of $0.7 million relating to the Term Notes on April 1, 2010, the full amount outstanding on the Term Loan of $10.2 million relating to CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited was repaid by CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited in full on April 13, 2010 and this amount was paid by the Company to the Term Note holders. The Owner, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited, does not actively engage in any business other than in connection with ongoing corporate affairs.

The Company's only source of funds with respect to the Term Notes is the payment of the principal and interest on the Term Loans by the Owners. The Company does not have any other source of capital for payment of the Term Notes. The Owners' only sources of funds with respect to their obligations the Company are the payments by Chevron. The Owners do not have any other source of capital for payment of the Term Loans.

The interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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, 2010. 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.

2.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)           Revenue and expense recognition

Interest receivable on the Term Loans is accrued on a daily basis.  Interest payable on the Term Notes is accrued on a daily basis. The Owners reimburse the Company for general and administrative expenses incurred on their behalf.

(b)           Deferred charges
 
 
Deferred charges represent the capitalization of debt issue costs. These costs are amortized over the term of the Term Notes to which they relate on a straight line basis, which is not materially different from the effective interest rate method.

(c)           Reporting and functional currency

 The reporting and functional currency is the United States dollar.

(d)           Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e)           Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There were no new accounting standards implemented in the second quarter of 2011 that had an impact on our results or new accounting standards to be implemented in the future that we expect to have an impact on our results when adopted.


3.
TERM LOANS

The principal balances of the Term Loans earn interest at a rate of 8.52% per annum and are to be repaid over five years.
 
 
4.
TERM LOANS COLLATERAL

The Term Loans are collateralized by first preferred mortgages on the Vessels to the Company. The earnings and insurance relating to the Vessels subject to the charters with Chevron have been collaterally assigned pursuant to an assignment of earnings and insurance to the Company, which in turn has assigned such assignment of earnings and insurance to The Bank of New York Mellon as the collateral trustee (the "Trustee"). The charters with Chevron and the Chevron Guarantees (where the obligations of Chevron are guaranteed by Chevron Corporation) relating to the Vessels have been collaterally assigned pursuant to the assignment of initial charter and assignment of initial charter guarantee to the Company, which has assigned such assignments to the collateral trustee.  The capital stock of each of the Owners has been pledged to the Company pursuant to stock pledge agreements, which have also been collaterally assigned to the Trustee.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Term Loans: The estimated fair value of the Term Loans is based on the quoted market price of the Term Notes or similar notes when available.

Term Notes: The estimated fair value of the Term Notes is based on the quoted market price of these or similar notes when available.

Concentrations of risk

The Company's only source of funds for the repayment of the principal and interest on the Term Notes is the repayments from the Owners. The Owners' only sources of funds for the repayment of the principal and interest on the Term Loans due to the Company are charterhire payments from Chevron as well as investment income and the proceeds, if any, from the sale of any of the Vessels. Accordingly, the Company's ability to service its obligations on the Term Notes is wholly dependent upon the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows from the Owners.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 

Results of Operations

Three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2010

Amounts included in the following discussion are derived from our unaudited interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Interest income

Interest income
 
 
832
 
 
 
1,095
 
 
 
1,868
 
 
 
2,566
 

Interest income decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to a decrease in the principal balance of Term Loans receivable. On April 1, 2011, the Owners repaid a total principal amount of $9.5 million on the Term Loans.

Interest income has decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of loan repayments during the year. The decrease is in line with expectations.

Interest expense

Interest expense
 
 
811
 
 
 
1,043
 
 
 
1,826
 
 
 
2,492
 

The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 is primarily due to a decrease in the principal balance of Term Notes payable. On April 1, 2011, we repaid a total principal amount of $9.5 million on the Term Notes.

The fall in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 is in line with expectations resulting from the interest being charged on a lower principal balance.

Amortization of debt issue costs

The decrease in amortization of debt issue costs for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 is due to a write–off of debt issue costs relating to the debt that was redeemed early following the sale of Front Voyager in 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is a passive entity, and its activities are limited to collecting cash from the Owners and making repayments on the Notes. The Company has no source of liquidity and no capital resources other than the cash receipts attributable to the Term Loans.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on its financial condition, revenues or expenses, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital reserves.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
