ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of California Petroleum Transport Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of
California Petroleum Transport Corporation as of September 30,
2000, and the related condensed statements of income and the
condensed statement of cash flows for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with United States generally accepted
auditing standards, which will be performed for the full year
with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with United States
generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with United States
generally accepted auditing standards, the balance sheet of
California Petroleum Transport Corporation as at December 31,
1999, and the related statements of income and cash flows for the
year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated
March 30, 2000, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth
in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31,
1999, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
balance sheet from which it has been derived.
