Notes to Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)

1.  THE COMPANY

    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 has been organized solely for the purpose of
    issuing certain mortgage notes as agent for two affiliated
    entities, Golden State Petro (IOM I-A) PLC and Golden State
    Petro (IOM I-B) PLC (collectively, the "Owners").  The
    mortgage notes were issued on December 24, 1996 and
    January 6, 1997 and proceeds therefrom 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 Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golden State
    Holdings I, Limited, and Isle of Man holding company, which
    is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Independent Tankers
    Corporation ("ITC").

2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    On May 12, 1998, beneficial ownership of Golden State
    Holdings I, Limited was acquired by Frontline Ltd. through
    the special purpose entity ITC.  Frontline Ltd. subsequently
    sold its investment in ITC to Hemen Holding Limited, with
    effect from July 1, 1998.  Hemen Holding Limited is the
    majority shareholder in Frontline Ltd.

3.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    On December 7, 1998, Golden State Petro (IOM I-A) PLC took
    delivery of the VLCC Frank A. Shrontz.  On March 15, 1999,
    Golden State Petro (IOM I-B) PLC took delivery of the VLCC
    J. Bennett Johnson.  Both vessels commenced bareboat charters
    with Chevron Transport Corporation coincident with their
    acceptance by the respective Owner under the shipbuilding
    contract.

    On January 31, 1999, Cambridge Fund Management resigned as
    manager of the Owners and, on the same date, was replaced by
    Frontline Ltd.
