                        OMI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1

OMI Corporation ("OMI" or the "Company"), is an international bulk shipping
company incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which provides
seaborne transportation services primarily of crude oil and petroleum products.
The Company is a successor to Universal Bulk Carriers, Inc.("UBC"), a Liberian
corporation, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of OMI Corp. until June 17,
1998 at which date the Company was separated from OMI Corp. (renamed Marine
Transport Corporation "MTC") through a tax-free distribution to OMI Corp.'s
shareholders of one share of UBC common stock for each share of OMI Corp. ("Old
OMI") common stock. The distribution separated Old OMI into two publicly-owned
companies. OMI Corporation operates what was OMI Corp.'s foreign shipping
businesses under the management of certain officers formerly of Old OMI who
moved to the new company and certain former directors of Old OMI and additional
new directors. The Company continues to trade under the symbol("OMM") on the New
York Stock Exchange.

The financial statements and computations of basic and diluted earnings per
share (see note 5) have been presented giving effect to the distribution as
though it occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Except as
indicated, amounts reflected in the financial statements or disclosed in the
notes to financial statements relate to the Company's continuing operations and
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
presentation. (See Note 2).

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of the
management of OMI, all adjustments (comprising only normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation of operating results have been included in the
statements. Reference is made to the OMI Corporation Form S-1 filed on May 15,
1998 for additional information.

NOTE 2 -- DISTRIBUTION

As part of the Distribution, OMI is party to certain agreements with MTC,
including the following:

          Distribution Agreement - The Distribution Agreement provides for, with
     certain exceptions, assumptions of liabilities and cross-indemnities
     designed principally to place financial responsibility for the liabilities
     with the appropriate company. OMI, however, assumed the obligations of Old
     OMI with respect to Old OMI's 10.25 percent Senior Notes due November 1,
     2003 in exchange for a note from MTC in the amount of $6.4 million, which
     is equivalent in value to the principal amount of the Senior Notes
     outstanding. The Distribution Agreement also provides that each MTC and OMI
     will indemnify the other in the event of certain liabilities arising under
     the Federal securities laws. Each of MTC and OMI will have sole
     responsibility for claims arising out of its respective activities after
     the Distribution.

          The Distribution Agreement also provides that, except as otherwise set
     forth therein or in any other agreement, all costs or expenses incurred on
     or prior to the Distribution Date in connection with the Distribution will
     be charged to and paid by the party incurring such costs or expenses.
     Except as set forth in the Distribution Agreement or any related agreement,
     each party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred after the
     Distribution Date.

          As part of the Distribution Agreement, OMI has, subject to certain
     exceptions, provided indemnity to MTC for all taxes attributable to the
     Distribution and to certain corporate restructuring transactions preceding
     the Distribution.


                                       -7-



<PAGE>


          Tax Cooperation Agreement - Prior to the Distribution, OMI and MTC
     entered into a Tax Cooperation Agreement which sets forth each party's
     rights and obligations with respect to federal, state, local and foreign
     taxes for periods prior to and after the Distribution and related matters
     such as filing of tax returns and conducting audits and other proceedings.
     In general, the Tax Cooperation Agreement provides that OMI will be liable
     for taxes and be entitled to refunds for each period covered by any such
     return which are attributable to OMI and its subsidiaries and that MTC will
     be liable for and be entitled to refunds for each period covered by such
     return which are not attributable to MTC or OMI subsidiaries. Though valid
     as between the parties thereto, the Tax Cooperation Agreement is not
     binding on the IRS and does not alter either party's tax liability to the
     IRS.

          Dividends - Any determination to pay dividends in the future by OMI
     will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will be dependent
     upon its results of operations, financial condition, capital restrictions,
     covenants and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.
     Currently, the payment of dividends by OMI is restricted by its credit
     agreements.

NOTE 3 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Receivable from parent-net and Payable to parent-net represent interest bearing
and non-interest bearing notes and non-interest bearing advances. Net
intercompany transactions represent allocations for income taxes, interest
expense on unsecured corporate debt and allocation of general expenses.

Prior to the Distribution, debt had been incurred for the consolidated group at
the parent company level or at a limited number of subsidiaries, rather than at
the operating company level, in order to centrally manage various cash
functions. Consequently, the mortgage debt of Old OMI and its related interest
expense (net of tax benefit)were allocated to UBC and its subsidiaries based
upon the value of the vessel collateralizing the debt. The changes in allocated
corporate debt, the after-tax allocated interest expense and the after tax
allocated general and administrative expenses have been included as Net
intercompany transactions in Stockholder's equity. Although management believes
that the historical allocation of corporate debt and interest expense is
reasonable, it is not necessarily indicative of the Company's debt or results of
operations had the Company been on a stand alone basis for the periods
presented.

As of the Distribution Date, the cumulative balances of the Net intercompany
transactions of $40,840,000 were charged to Capital Surplus and the balance in
Receivable from parent-net aggregating $76,119,000 was credited to Capital
Surplus. Included in the net receivable from parent was the assumption by OMI
(formerly UBC) of the revolving line of credit (see Note 8), the assumption of
the 10.25 Senior Notes and the 7% convertible note.

NOTE 4 -- ACCOUNTING CHANGE FOR SPECIAL SURVEY AND DRYDOCK EXPENSES

Effective January 1, 1997,the Company changed its method of accounting for
special survey and drydock expenses from the accrual method to the prepaid
method. Special survey and drydock expenses had been accrued and charged to
operating expenses over the vessel's survey cycle, which is generally a two to
three year period. Under the prepaid method survey and drydock expenses are
capitalized and amortized over the period until the next survey cycle.
Management believes the prepaid method better matches costs with revenues, and
minimizes any significant changes in estimates associated with the accrual
method. The cumulative effect of this accounting change is shown separately in
the consolidated statement of operations and resulted in income of $10,063,000
(net of income taxes of $5,419,000)for the six months ending June 30, 1997.

NOTE 5 -- EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the periods. The computation of
diluted earnings per share assumes the foregoing and the exercise of all
dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method and the conversion of the
7% convertible note due 2004.

The components of the denominator for the calculation of basic earnings per
share and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

NOTE 6 -- INCOME TAXES

Management estimates that the distribution of shares to the shareholders of OMI
Corp. will result in Federal income taxes becoming currently payable by OMI
Corporation of approximately $1,900,000 representing Federal income taxes on
previously excluded foreign ("Subpart F") income and on the distribution of
shares of non-United States shareholders. As OMI will not be subject to any
additional income taxes, $38,887,000 of the balance of deferred income taxes was
credited to income, leaving a balance of $3,100,000.

NOTE 7 -- SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash payments include interest paid of approximately $2,206,000 and $3,737,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

In March 1997 the Company delivered a vessel with net book value of $9,800,000
to new owners as part of an exchange transaction. Cash in the amount of
$11,000,000 was received and was held in an escrow account until the delivery of
the vessel in April 1997 to the Company which completed the exchange
transaction.

NOTE 8 -- DEBT

At the date of the Distribution, the Company has a credit facility which
provides for a line of credit in the amount of $122,000,000 (not to exceed 70
percent of the fair market value of the vessels securing the loan). The credit
facility is secured by eleven vessels with a book value aggregating 
$175,643,000 at June 30, 1998. The Notes under the Credit Facility bear interest
at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 60-95 basis points which is computed based
on OMI's funded debt to equity ratio and interest coverage ratio. The agreement,
which expires in March 2002, provides for nine semi-annual reductions in the
amount which can be outstanding, the first five are $5,500,000, the next four
are $8,875,000 and the balance is due at maturity. At June 30, 1998, seven
semi-annual reductions remain. As long as the available balance of the credit
facility exceeds the outstanding loan balance and the collateral tests are met,
current amortization is not required. In the event any vessels collateralizing
the agreement are sold, the credit facility shall be reduced by up to 100
percent of the sales proceeds; however, the Company is permitted to substitute
other vessels as collateral.

On June 4, 1998, the Company entered into a secured revolving credit agreement
in the amount of $53,000,000, to refinance two Panamax tankers and finance two
Product Carriers (see Note 11) when delivered. The loan consists of three
tranches; on June 9, 1998, the Company drewdown $16,000,000 to refinance two
Panamax tankers. The $16,000,000 is to be repaid in quarterly installments over
the next five years and bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 65-
95 basis points which is computed based on the Company's funded debt to
capitalization ratio.

On June 4, 1998, the Company entered into a $71,500,000 secured revolving credit
facility to finance two Suezmax tankers upon their delivery from the yard. On
June 9, 1998, $35,750,000 was drawn to finance the first vessel(See Note 11).
The availability of the facility is reduced on a semi-annual basis by $1,294,000
beginning 18 months after the initial drawdown, to a balloon of $13,750,000 and
will mature 10 years after the initial drawdown date. The facility bears
interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.85%-0.95%.

On July 6, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with its current lender
for a $77,000,000 secured reducing revolving credit facility to finance two
Suezmax tankers upon their delivery from the yard. The Company drew down
$37,800,000 on July 20, 1998 to finance the delivery of the newbuilding
delivered July 23, 1998. The availability under the facility is reduced
semiannually by $__ beginning 18 months after the initial drawdown and matures
on July 20, 2006. The facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging
from 60 to 100 basis points.

The Company also has two revolving credit facilities for amounts up to
$50,000,000 and $75,000,000. These revolving credit facilities are to be used to
finance, on a interim basis, the acquisition of vessels (other than the
newbuildings) and will be secured by such vessels.

Mortgage debt of OMI Corp. previous to the Distribution and its related interest
expense were allocated to UBC based upon the value of the vessel collateralizing
the debt.

General and administrative expense included in determining income before income
taxes, equity in operations of joint ventures and cumulative effect of
accounting principle includes an allocation of costs of corporate administrative
services provided by OMI Corp. up to the Distribution date. UBC was charged a
fixed amount per month per vessel for vessel management and accounting
activities and is charged 1.25 percent of revenues earned by each vessel for
commercial management. General corporate activities, such as salaries (other
than those included in the aforementioned fees), legal, accounting,
communications and other administrative expenses were allocated based on the
services provided to the segment. Rent expense was allocated based on the number
of employees included in the corporate allocation. Management believes the
methods for allocating such expenses were reasonable.

NOTE 11 -- VESSEL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

On June 9,1998, the Company took delivery of a newbuilding, double-hulled
Suezmax tanker, previously under construction. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the
Company took delivery of two additional doubled-hulled Suezmax newbuildings, one
on July 23, 1998 and one on August 11, 1998. Each of the three vessels cost
approximately $54,000,000 (before capitalized interest). The Company has
contracted for two additional 312,000 dwt Suezmax tankers and two 35,000 dwt
product carriers in the same shipyard. The Suezmaxes will be delivered in the
first quarter of 1999 and the second quarter of 2000. The product carriers,
which are time chartered out for two years, are to be delivered in the second
half of 1999.

On February 3, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of the
TANANA for $45,500,000. The vessel, which is included in vessel held for sale,
will be delivered to the new owners in August 1998.

On May 20, 1997, the Company sold the ALTA for approximately $39,900,000 and
simultaneously leased the vessel for a five year term. The gain on the sale of
approximately $15,700,000 has been deferred and will be credited to income as an
adjustment to lease expense over the term of the lease. The lessor has the
option to cancel the lease at any time after two years upon the payment of a
$1,000,000 termination fee. The balance of the deferred gain was $12,240,000 at
June 30, 1998.

NOTE 12 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 4, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase up to
4.4 million shares of the Company's common stock.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The following presentation of management's discussion and analysis of OMI
Corporation ("OMI or the "Company") financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements, accompanying notes thereto and other financial information appearing
elsewhere in this document, as well as Form S-1 filed on May 15, 1998.

     The information below and elsewhere in this document contains certain
forward-looking statements which reflect the current view of the Company with
respect to future events and financial performance. Wherever used, the words
"expect", "plan", "anticipate" and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements. Any such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause the actual results of the Company's results of
operations to differ materially from historical results or current expectations.
The Company's does not publicly update its forward- looking statements even if
experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed
or implied therein will not be realized.

GENERAL

   Overview

     OMI provides seaborne transportation services for crude oil, refined
petroleum products, and, to a much lesser extent, dry bulk cargoes (primarily
iron ore, coal and grain) through a joint venture. The Company is a successor to
Universal Bulk Carriers, Inc.("UBC"), a Liberian corporation, which was a wholly
owned subsidiary of OMI Corp. until June 17, 1998 at which date the Company was
separated from OMI Corp. (renamed Marine Transport Corporation "MTC") through a
tax-free distribution ("Distribution") of one share of UBC common stock for each
share of OMI Corp. ("Old OMI") common stock. The distribution separated Old OMI
into two publicly-owned companies. OMI Corporation operates what was OMI Corp.'s
foreign shipping businesses under the management of certain of the officers
formerly of Old OMI who moved to the new company and certain former directors of
Old OMI and additional new directors. The Company continues to trade under the
symbol ("OMM") on the New York Stock Exchange.

     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $39.5 million
compared to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Included in
1998 income of $39.5 million is a benefit of $38.9 million for federal income
taxes. In connection with the Distribution, described above, OMI became a
decontrolled corporation and the deferred income taxes which had been previously
recorded were reversed. Included in the 1997 income of $16.4 million is income
of $10.1 million, net of tax, from the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle.

MARKET OVERVIEW

     The charter rates that the Company is able to obtain for its vessels are
determined in a highly competitive market. The industry is cyclical,
experiencing significant swings in profitability and asset values resulting from
changes in the supply of and demand for vessels. The product carrier market is
the segment of the tanker market which transports refined petroleum products
such as gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, naphtha and gas oil. Freight rates in this
market were relatively strong from 1995 through the first quarter of 1997
showing substantial seasonal improvement in the winter months. Product tanker
rates reached a very high level early in 1997 but receded gradually after that
as a result of reduced oil product imports in the Pacific region due to refinery
capacity additions in the area and lower oil consumption because of the
financial crisis in southeast Asia and Korea, lower heating oil consumption in
the Northern Hemisphere due to the mild weather this past winter, higher
throughput in industrialized countries, and higher product tanker fleet growth
relative to product tanker ton-mile demand. Rates declined to a low level in the
first quarter of this year not seen since 1992. Average freight rates for
handysize product tankers in the first half of 1998 were substantially lower
than the rates prevailing in the same period a year ago.

     The Company's handysize product tankers are currently employed in the spot
market. Though the Company's strategy has been to operate approximately 50% of
its product tankers on time charter, however, current weak product tanker market
conditions have precluded it from doing so.

                                      -13-


<PAGE>



     OMI and Heidenreich Marine Inc. ("Heidmar"), an owner and operator of a
modern fleet of 40,000 to 80,000 dwt tankers have formed a jointly owned company
named "OMI-Heidmar Shipping LLC" to market tankers in the Far East. Currently,
this company operates seven Handysize and Handymax product tankers, including
two OMI handysize vessels. In addition, OMI has time chartered one of its
Panamax product tankers to Heidmar and has put its other two Panamax product
tankers into the Heidmar/Pleiades pool of Panamax crude/products tankers which
comprises 22 vessels and operates worldwide.

     The Company has on order with a South Korean shipyard two 35,000 dwt
product carriers. The product carriers, which are time chartered out for two
years, are to be delivered in the second half of 1999.

     The Company's Suezmax tanker fleet is one of the largest independent fleets
in the world. OMI has targeted this market segment due to the flexibility of the
Suezmax tankers to engage in long-haul and short-haul trades, the growth
potential in the crude oil market and the fleet age distribution (more than 40%
of the fleet is 20 or more years old).

     The improvement in tanker freight rates which began in 1995 continued in
1998 for VLCC and Suezmax tankers. The rate gains in the last few years have
been the result of growth in world oil demand which together with a modest
increase in the supply of tankers have created a better tanker supply/demand
balance. Average freight rates in the first half of 1998 were higher for VLCC
and Suezmax tankers but substantially lower for Aframax vessels compared to the
rates prevailing in the same period a year ago. However, it should be mentioned
that, in the short-term, there could be a rate weakness as a result of the
relatively high world oil inventories, the proposed OPEC oil production cuts,
weakness in oil demand due to the Southeast Asia financial crisis and the
relatively large tanker newbuilding delivery schedule next year. OMI currently
operates all but one of it Suezmax tankers, including three chartered-in
vessels, in the spot market.

     In order to renew and improve the efficiency of its Suezmax fleet, the
Company ordered five vessels from a South Korean shipyard (with an option for
two more). The Company has taken delivery of the first three Suezmaxes in June,
July and August of 1998. Of the remaining two Suezmax newbuildings one is
scheduled for delivery in January 1999 and the other in May 2000.

     Furthermore, in order to increase the Company's market share in the Suezmax
trades in the Atlantic Basin, OMI and a Norwegian shipping company (the owner
of one of the world's largest and more modern Suezmax fleets) combined Suezmax
tanker fleets for commercial purposes and created Alliance Chartering LLC
("Alliance"). Alliance currently markets 28 Suezmax tankers (including the
TANANA which is being held for sale), comprising about 17% of the total
Suezmaxes trading in the Atlantic basin. As result of Alliance's strong
marketing position the Company has been able to establish important
relationships and contracts with a number of large oil companies. These
contracts may allow Alliance the opportunity to increase its Suezmax fleet
utilization through backhauls when cargo is available (that is, transporting
cargo on the return trip when a ship would normally be empty) which will improve
vessel earnings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Results of operations of OMI Corporation include operating activities of
the Company's vessels. The discussion that follows explains the Company's
operating results in terms of net voyage revenues, which equals voyage revenues
minus vessel and voyage expenses, because fluctuations in voyage revenues and
expenses occur based on the nature of a charter. The Company's vessels currently
operate, or have operated in prior years, on time, bareboat or voyage ("spot")
charters. Each type of charter denotes a method by which revenues are recorded
and expenses are allocated. Under a time charter, revenue is measured based on a
daily or monthly rate and the charterer assumes certain voyage expenses, such as
fuel and port charges. Under a bareboat charter, the charterer assumes all
voyage and operating expenses; therefore, the revenue rate is likely to be lower
than a time charter. Under a voyage charter, revenue is calculated based on the
amount of cargo carried, most expenses are for the shipowner's account and the
length of the charter is one voyage. Revenue may be higher in the spot market,
as the owner is responsible for most of the costs of the voyage. Other factors
affecting net voyage revenues for voyage charters are waiting time between
cargoes, port costs, and bunker prices.

Vessel expenses included in net voyage revenue discussed above include operating
expenses such as crew payroll/benefits/travel, stores, maintenance and repairs,
drydock, insurance and miscellaneous. These expenses are a function of the fleet
size, utilization levels for certain expenses, requirements under laws, by
charterers and Company standards. Insurance expense varies with the overall
insurance market conditions as well as the insured's loss record, level of
insurance and desired coverage.

</TABLE>

FOR THE SIX MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 VERSUS JUNE 30, 1997

     Net voyage revenues decreased $6.1 million for the six months and $6.9
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. These decreases include
decreases in other net voyage revenue of $3.2 million and $2.5 million for the
six and three months, respectively, which relate primarily to the sale of the
LPG carrier in 1997 and increases in management fee expense not specifically
allocated to vessel expenses. Other changes are discussed as follows according
to the two market segments in which OMI primarily operates.

Product Carrier

     The product carrier fleet consisted of thirteen vessels (ten Handysize and
three Panamaxes) in both June 30, 1998 and 1997. At June 30, 1998, three of the
Handysize and one Panamax were on time charters. Another Panamax is on time
charter carrying crude oil in 1998, explaining a portion of the decrease in net
voyage revenue for the product or "clean" group in 1998.

     Net voyage revenues decreased by $5.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. Net voyage revenue decreased for
the six months ending June 30, 1998 for all but two of the product carriers .
The decreases are due to the market decline in rates mentioned in the overview.
Of the two product carriers that earned greater net voyage revenues in 1998, one
was on time charter and one was acquired in April 1997.

     Net voyage revenues of $4.6 million decreased $3.8 million in the second
quarter of 1998 from $8.4 million in the same period in 1997. The decrease in
the second quarter is attributable to lower rates for substantially all the
vessels operating in the spot market.

                                      -15-


<PAGE>


Crude Tanker Fleet

     For the six months ending June 30, 1998, the crude fleet consisted of seven
wholly owned vessels (six Suezmaxes and one Aframax) and four chartered-in
Suezmaxes; nine of the vessels are currently operating in the spot market. One
vessel, which had been on a long-term time charter, was redelivered in the
fourth quarter of 1997. In 1997, OMI owned five Suezmaxes, one Aframax and
chartered- in one vessel (beginning in May 1997 as part of a sale-leaseback
transaction). During the six months ended June 30, 1997, two of the vessels were
time chartered out.

     Net voyage revenues of $12.1 million generated by the crude tanker fleet
increased $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from $9.2 million
for the comparable period in 1997. The increase in net voyage revenues can be
attributed to three reasons; a Panamax which had been carrying clean products
began carrying crude in 1998, another vessel was on time charter for the full
six months of 1998 at a better rate than the 1997 spot/time charter combined
earnings, and three additional vessels were chartered-in in 1998. Net voyage
revenues were reduced by decreases in revenues for the remainder of the fleet as
a result of lower rates in the spot market in 1998 due to the lower demand for
oil already explained in the market overview. Additionally, the net voyage
revenues earned by the vessel on sale leaseback is substantially less due to
lease expense (this decrease is however, compensated for by the gain on the
sale).

     Net voyage revenues of $4.5 million decreased $0.5 million in the second
quarter of 1998 compared to $5.0 million in the second quarter of 1997. The
decrease in the crude group for the second quarter is attributed to the decrease
in spot rates which declined from the first quarter. Additionally, the increase
in operating lease expense for the vessel sold and leased back contributed to
the decrease. Decreases were offset in part by revenues of two vessels, a
Panamax carrying crude in 1998 and an Aframax operating on a more profitable
time charter.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

     The Company's operating expenses, other than vessel, voyage and operating
lease expenses consist of depreciation and amortization and general and
administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, these expenses
decreased $0.1 million to $16.0 million, from $16.1 million for the same period
in 1997. Other operating expenses increased $0.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. Depreciation expense
decreased a net $0.1 million for the six months and the three months ended June
30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997 due to the sale of a crude oil
tanker in May 1997 offset in part by depreciation of the newbuilding delivered
in June 1998.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

     Other income (expense) consists of gain on disposal of assets-net and
interest expense-net. Net other expense decreased by $1.2 million from $4.5
million to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the
same period in 1997. Gain on sale of assets-net decreased $0.9 million due to
the gain on sale in March 1997 of the GENERAL. No assets were disposed of during
the six months ending June 30, 1998. Interest expense-net decreased by $2.1
million for the six months and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998 compared to 1997 due to the following; an increase in capitalized interest
for the six vessels under construction during the six and three months ending
June 30, 1998 compared to four vessels in 1997 and lower average interest rates
and average debt.

PROVISION (BENEFITS) FOR INCOME TAXES

     The income tax benefit of $37.2 million includes a provision for federal
income taxes of $1.7 million for the period from January 1, 1998 through June
17, 1998 (the date of the Distribution), net of the benefit of $38.9 million
representing the reversal of deferred income taxes at the distribution date, as
the Company became a decontrolled corporation.

EQUITY IN OPERATIONS OF JOINT VENTURES

     Equity in operations of joint ventures decreased by $1.5 million to $2.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $3.7 million for the
same period in 1997. The decrease is primarily attributed to Mosaic Alliance
Corporation ("Mosaic"), a 49.9 percent joint in 1997, by $1.7 million, White
Sea of $0.5 million offset by an increase in Amazon of $0.7 million. In December
1997, the Company purchased its partners' 50.1 percent interest in Mosaic.
Mosaic's equity in earnings of $1.4 million for the first six months of 1997 was
a result of a $1.9 million gain on the sale of a vessel and an operating loss of
$0.5 million.

     Equity in operations of joint ventures decreased by $1.5 million to $1.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $2.6 million for
the same period in 1997. The decrease is primarily due to Mosaic ($1.5 million),
White Sea ($0.4 million) offset by in increase in Amazon ($0.4 million).

BALANCE SHEET

     On February 3, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of
the TANANA for $45.5 million. The vessel, which is included in current assets as
held for sale, was delivered to the new owners in August 1998. The mortgage
payable of $31.4 million related to the vessel was included in current
maturities of long-term debt at June 30, 1998.

     On June 9, 1998, the Company took delivery of a newly constructed double
hulled Suezmax tanker, increasing vessels by $56.0 million and debt by $35.8
million.

     The distribution of OMI affected the balance sheet as follows: deferred
taxes of $38.9 million were reversed into income, the receivable from parent-
net aggregating $76.1 million and the balance of Net intercompany transactions
of $40.8 were charged to Capital surplus, and debt increased $108.9 million for
debt assumed from the parent company (see Financing section).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  Cash Flows

     Cash and cash equivalents of $21.7 million at June 30, 1998 decreased $8.9
million from cash and cash equivalents of $30.6 million at December 31, 1997.
The Company's working capital of $3.2 million decreased $28.3 million from
working capital of $31.5 million at June 30, 1997. Current assets increased
$31.9 million primarily due to the increase in vessel held for sale at June 30,
1998. Current liabilities increased $60.1 million primarily due to the increase
in current maturities of long-term debt, which was assumed from the parent
company at the time of the Distribution (See Financing Facilities) and the
balance of the debt related to the TANANA. Net cash provided by operating
activities decreased $6.8 million to $10.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     Cash provided by financing activities was $40.6 million in 1998 compared to
cash used of $18.1 million for the six months ended 1997. Payments on long-term
debt of $22.6 million were made in 1998. Included in the payments of $22.6
million were unscheduled payments of $20.6 million from the refinancing of two
vessels. Proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $63.8 million include
proceeds of $35.8 million for the financing of a new vessel, $16.0 million from
refinancing of two vessels and $12.0 million drawn on a line of credit in June
1998 which was repaid in July 1998. In the six months ended June 30, 1997, $4.1
million was received from the Company's parent, Old OMI, as a capital
contribution and $22.1 million of debt was repaid (including $16.9 million from
the sale of a vessel).

     The Company operates in a capital-intensive industry and augments cash
generated by operating activities with debt and sales of vessels that no longer
fit the Company's strategy. Cash used by investing activities was $60.0 million,
a decrease of $73.8 million from cash provided by investing activities of $13.8
million for the six months ending June 30, 1997. Cash used by investing
activities increased in 1998 due to the acquisition of a new vessel and
additions to vessels under construction. Additionally, in 1997, the Company
received proceeds from the sale of the ALTA of $39.0 million and there were no
disposals in 1998.

                                      -17-

FINANCING FACILITIES

     Prior to the Distribution, debt had been incurred for the consolidated
group at the parent company level or at a limited number of subsidiaries, rather
than at the operating company level, in order to centrally manage various cash
functions. Consequently, the mortgage debt of Old OMI and its related interest
expense, net of tax, were allocated to UBC and its subsidiaries based upon the
value of the vessel collateralizing the debt. The changes in allocated corporate
debt and the after-tax allocated interest expense and the after tax allocated
general and administrative expenses had been included in Net intercompany
transactions in Stockholder's equity. Although management believes that the
historical allocation of corporate debt and interest expense is reasonable, it
is not necessarily indicative of the Company's debt or results of operations had
the Company been on a stand alone basis for the periods presented.

     At the date of the Distribution, the Company has a credit facility which
provides for a line of credit in the amount of $122.0 million(not to exceed 70
percent of the fair market value of the vessels securing the loan). The credit
facility is secured by eleven vessels with a book value aggregating $175.6
million at June 30, 1998. The Notes under the credit facility bear interest at
LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 60-95 basis points which is computed based on
OMI's funded debt to equity ratio and interest coverage ratio. The agreement,
which expires in March 2002, provides for nine semi-annual reductions (seven
currently remaining at June 30, 1998) in the amount which can be outstanding,
the first five are $5.5million, the next four are $8.9 million and the balance
is due at maturity. As long as the available balance of the credit facility
exceeds the outstanding loan balance and the collateral tests are met, current
amortization is not required. In the event any vessels collateralizing the
agreement are sold, the credit facility shall be reduced by up to 100 percent of
the sales proceeds; however, the Company is permitted to substitute another
vessels as collateral.

     On June 4 , 1998, the Company entered into a new secured revolving credit
agreement with banks, in the amount of $53.0 million, to refinance two Panamax
tankers and to finance two Product Carriers when delivered. The loan consists of
three tranches; on June 9, 1998, the Company drew down $16.0 million to
refinance two Panamax tankers. The $16.0 million is to be repaid in quarterly
installments over the next five years and bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin
ranging from 65-95 basis points based on the Company's funded debt to
capitalization ratio.

     On June 4, 1998, the Company entered into a $71.5 million secured revolving
credit facility to finance two Suezmax tankers upon their delivery from the
yard. On June 9, 1998, $35.7 million was drawn to finance the first vessel. The
availability of the facility is reduced on a semi-annual basis by $1.3 million
beginning 18 months after the initial drawdown, with a balloon payment of $13.7
million at maturity which is ten years from the initial drawdown date. The
facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.85%-0.95%.

     On July 6, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with its current
lender for a $77.0 million secured reducing revolving Credit Facility to finance
two Suezmax tankers upon their delivery from the yard. The Company drew down
$37.8 million on July 20, 1998 to finance the delivery of the newbuilding
delivered July 23, 1998. The availability under the facility is reduced
semiannually by $3.0 million beginning 18 months after the initial drawdown,
with a balloon payment due at maturity on July 20, 2006. The facility bears
interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 60 - 100 basis points.

     The Company also has two revolving credit facilities for amounts up to
$50.0 million and $75.0 million. These revolving credit facilities are to be
used to finance, on a interim basis, the acquisition of vessels (other than the
newbuildings) and will be secured by such vessels.

     Certain of the loan agreements contain restrictive covenants requiring
minimum levels of cash or cash equivalents, working capital and net worth,
maintenance of specified financial ratios and collateral values, and restrict
the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company. These
loan agreements also contain various provisions restricting the right of OMI
and/or its subsidiaries to make certain investments, to place additional liens
on the property of certain of OMI's subsidiaries, to incur additional long-term
debt, to make certain payments, to merge or to undergo a similar corporate
reorganization, and to enter into transactions with affiliated companies. At
June 30, 1998, the Company was in compliance with all it financial covenants.

                                      -18-


<PAGE>



     The Company believes that the actions it has taken in the last year to
improve its liquidity and financial position will give the Company greater
financial flexibility to fund its vessel acquisition program and finance its
other cash needs.

OTHER COMMITMENTS

     The Company and its joint venture partners have committed to fund any
working capital deficiencies that may be incurred by their joint venture
investments. At June 30, 1998, no such deficiencies have been funded.

AGREEMENTS

     As part of the Distribution, OMI is party to certain agreements with MTC,
including the following:

     Distribution Agreement - The Distribution Agreement provides for, with
certain exceptions, assumptions of liabilities and cross-indemnities designed
principally to place financial responsibility for the liabilities of with the
appropriate company. OMI, however, assumed the obligations of Old OMI with
respect to Old OMI's 10.25 percent Senior Notes due November 1, 2003 in exchange
for a note from MTC in the amount of $6.4 million, which is equivalent in value
to the principal amount of the Senior Notes outstanding. The Distribution
Agreement also provides that each of MTC and OMI will indemnify the other in the
event of certain liabilities arising under the Federal securities laws. Each of
MTC and OMI will have sole responsibility for claims arising out of its
respective activities after the Distribution.

     The Distribution Agreement also provides that, except as otherwise set
forth therein or in any other agreement, all costs or expenses incurred on or
prior to the Distribution Date in connection with the Distribution will be
charged to and paid by the party incurring such costs or expenses. Except as set
forth in the Distribution Agreement or any related agreement, each party shall
bear its own costs and expenses incurred after the Distribution Date.

     As part of the Distribution Agreement, OMI has, subject to certain
exceptions, provided indemnity to MTC for all taxes attributable to the
Distribution and to certain corporate restructuring transactions preceding the
Distribution.

     Tax Cooperation Agreement - Prior to the Distribution, OMI and MTC entered
into a Tax Cooperation Agreement which sets forth each party's rights and
obligations with respect to federal, state, local and foreign taxes for periods
prior and after the Distribution and related matters such as the filing of tax
returns and the conduct of audits and to other proceedings. In general, the Tax
Cooperation Agreement provides that OMI will be liable for taxes and be entitled
to refunds for each period covered by any such return which are attributable to
OMI and its subsidiaries and that MTC will be liable for and be entitled to
refunds for each period covered by such return which are not attributable to MTC
or OMI subsidiaries. Though valid as between the parties thereto, the Tax
Cooperation Agreement is not binding on the IRS and does not alter either
party's tax liability to the IRS.

     Dividends - Any determination to pay dividends in the future by OMI will be
at the discretion of the board of directors and will be dependent upon its
results of operations, financial condition, capital restrictions, covenants and
other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. Currently, the payment
of dividends by OMI is restricted by its credit agreements.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

     The Company does not consider inflation to be a significant risk to the
cost of doing business in the current or foreseeable future. Inflation has a
moderate impact on operating expenses, drydocking expenses and corporate
overhead.

YEAR 2000

     The "Year 2000 issue" arises from the fact that many computer hardware and
software systems use only two digits to represent the year. As a result, these
systems may not calculate dates beyond 1999, which may result in system
failures. The Company has taken steps to ensure that its systems will be year
2000 compliant. The Company has been in the process over the last year in
upgrading its hardware and software systems for business reasons other than Year
2000 compliance. Therefore, the Company believes, after conversion to the new
systems, the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for
its computer systems. However, the Year 2000 readiness of the company's
customers, supplier and business partners may vary.
