 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
 Matters discussed in this document 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 (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 document 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.  The words "believe, " "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "will," "may," "should"  and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
 
 The forward-looking statements in this document 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.
 
 Item 1.    Business
 
 The Company
 Golden State Petroleum Transport Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 5, 1996.  We are 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 (together, 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 ("VLCCs" or the "Vessels") for charter to an unaffiliated third party (the "Initial Charterer").  The Notes are not our obligations and we do not guarantee them. The Serial Notes were fully repaid on February 1, 2006.
 
 Golden State Holdings I, Limited ("GSH"), an Isle of Man company, is the owner of all of our issued and outstanding shares along with all of the issued and outstanding share of the Owners.  GSH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Independent Tankers Corporation, a Cayman Islands company ("ITC"), which in turn, is controlled by Frontline Ltd ("Frontline"), a Bermuda company listed on the New York, Oslo and London Stock Exchanges.

 In February 2008, Frontline established an intermediary holding company, Independent Tankers Corporation Limited ("ITC Bermuda") to hold its investment in ITC. Frontline then distributed 17.53% of ITC Bermuda's common shares to Frontline's common shareholders. These shares trade on the Norwegian over-the-counter market. The balance of ITC Bermuda's common shares is indirectly owned by Frontline.
 
 In December 2010, the holders approved amendments to the Indenture of the Term mortgage notes and the management agreements for the vessels owned by the Owners. These amendments were made in connection with the termination of the initial charter for the vessel m.t. Antares Voyager and the potential termination of the vessel m.t. Phoenix Voyager and (i) approve the proposed sale of the Vessels provided an Adequate Bid (as defined in the Indenture as amended) has been received by Frontline, as manager of the Vessels, and (ii) during the period from the termination of the initial charter for each Vessel and its sale, permit the chartering of the vessel by Frontline in the spot market or on time charters.
 
 In accordance with a management agreement between each of the Owners and Frontline, Frontline provides administrative, management and advisory services for an annual fee of $50,000 each, payable semi-annually.  All costs of administering both us and the Owners are payable by Frontline from this management fee.  The management agreement is effective until termination by either party upon 30 days prior written notice.

 To the Board of Directors and Stockholder
 Golden State Petroleum Transport Corporation
 
 We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Golden State Petroleum Transport Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the related statements of operations and retained earnings and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Golden State Petroleum Transport Corporation as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and retained earnings and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

 Use of Estimates
 The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US 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.
