D.           Risk Factors




We are currently engaged in leasing a vessel that is involved in the transportation of crude oil and oil products. Our vessel the Sirius Voyager, or our Vessel, is currently operated under a bareboat charter, or the Initial Charter, to Chevron Transport Corporation, which we refer to as Chevron. The term of the Initial Charter expires on April 1, 2015. Chevron's final option to terminate the Charter on April 1, 2011 has passed. On April 1, 2015, Chevron has the option to purchase our Vessel for $1.




1


The following summarizes some of the risks that may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.




If the tanker industry, which historically has been cyclical, is depressed in the future, our earnings and available cash flow may be adversely affected when the Initial Charter expires if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option




Historically, the tanker industry has been highly cyclical, with volatility in profitability and asset values resulting from changes in the supply of, and demand for, tanker capacity. Charter rates are still relatively low compared to the rates achieved in the years preceding the global financial crisis, and the recent upward trend in charter rates since the historical lows reached in 2009 may be short lived.  These factors may adversely affect the rates payable and the amounts we receive in respect of our Vessel on the expiration of the Initial Charter if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option and the charter rates payable under any renewal or replacement charter will depend upon, among other things, economic conditions in the tanker market. Fluctuations in charter rates and tanker values result from changes in the supply and demand for tanker capacity. According to industry sources, in 2010, newbuilding orders for oil tankers increased from their relatively low levels in 2009.




The factors that influence demand for tanker capacity include:




·
supply and demand for oil and oil products;




·
global and regional economic and political conditions including developments in international trade and fluctuations in industrial and agricultural production;




·
regional availability of refining capacity;




·
environmental and other legal and regulatory developments;




·
the distance oil and oil products are to be moved by sea;




·
changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns, including changes in the distances over which tanker cargoes are transported by sea;·
currency exchange rates;·
weather and acts of God and natural disasters, including hurricanes and typhoons;·
competition from alternative sources of energy and for other shipping companies and other modes of transportation; and·
international sanctions, embargoes, import and export restrictions, nationalizations, piracy and wars;


The factors that influence the supply of tanker capacity include:





·
current and expected purchase orders for tankers;·
the number of tanker newbuilding deliveries;




·
the scrapping rate of older tankers;




·
the successful implementation of the phase-out of single-hull tankers;




·
technological advances in tanker design and capacity;




·
tanker freight rates, which are affected by factors that may affect the rate of newbuilding, swapping and laying up of tankers;·
price of steel and vessel equipment;




·
conversion of tankers other uses or conversion of other vessels to tankers;




·
the number of tankers that are out of service; and




·
changes in environmental and other regulations that may limit the useful lives of tankers.




2


The factors affecting the supply and demand for tankers have been volatile and are outside of our control, and the nature, timing and degree of changes in industry conditions are unpredictable, including those discussed above.




The international tanker industry has experienced volatile charter rates and vessel values and there can be no assurance that these charter rates and vessel values will return to their previous high levels





Charter rates in the tanker industry are volatile. We anticipate that future demand for our Vessel, and in turn our future charter rates, will be dependent upon economic growth in the world's economy as well as seasonal and regional changes in demand and changes in the capacity of the world's fleet. We believe that these charter rates are the result of economic growth in the world economy that exceeds growth in global vessel capacity. There can be no assurance that economic growth will not stagnate or decline leading to a further decrease in vessel values and charter rates. A further decline in vessel values and charter rates could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation when the Initial Charter expires if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option.




Any decrease in shipments of crude oil may adversely affect our financial performance at the end of the Initial Charter if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option




The demand for oil tankers derives primarily from demand for Arabian Gulf and West African crude oil, which, in turn, primarily depends on the economies of the world's industrial countries and competition from alternative energy sources. A wide range of economic, social and other factors can significantly affect the strength of the world's industrial economies and their demand for crude oil from the mentioned geographical areas. One such factor is the price of worldwide crude oil. The world's oil markets have experienced high levels of volatility in the last 25 years. In July 2008, oil prices rose to a high of approximately $143 per barrel before decreasing to approximately $38 per barrel by the end of December 2008 and rising to approximately $92 by the end of December 2010.




Any decrease in shipments of crude oil from the above mentioned geographical areas would have a material adverse effect on our financial performance. Among the factors which could lead to such a decrease are:




·
increased crude oil production from other areas;




·
increased refining capacity in the Arabian Gulf or West Africa;




·
increased use of existing and future crude oil pipelines in the Arabian Gulf or West Africa;




·
a decision by Arabian Gulf or West African oil-producing nations to increase their crude oil prices or to further decrease or limit their crude oil production;




·
armed conflict in the Arabian Gulf and West Africa and political or other factors; and




·
the development and the relative costs of nuclear power, natural gas, coal and other alternative sources of energy.




An over-supply of tanker capacity may lead to reductions in charter rates, vessel values and profitability when the Initial Charter expires if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option




In recent years, shipyards are booked to produce a large number of new tankers. If the capacity of new vessels delivered exceeds the capacity of tankers being scrapped and converted to non-trading tankers, tanker capacity will increase. If the supply of tanker capacity increases and the demand for tanker capacity does not increase correspondingly, charter rates could materially decline. A reduction in charter rates may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations when the Initial Charter expires if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option.




Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels could adversely affect our business





Acts of piracy have historically affected ocean-going vessels trading in regions of the world such as the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia.  Throughout 2009 and 2010, the frequency of piracy incidents increased significantly, particularly in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia. If these piracy attacks result in regions in which our Vessel is deployed being characterized by insurers as "war risk" zones, or Joint War Committee (JWC) "war and strikes" listed areas, premiums payable for such coverage could increase significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain.  In addition, crew costs, including costs which may be incurred to the extent we employ onboard security guards, could increase in such circumstances.  We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on us.  In addition, detention hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against our Vessel, or an increase in cost, or unavailability of insurance for our Vessel, may result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to Chevron, which could impair its ability to make payments to us under our Initial Charter.


3


World events could affect our results of operations and financial condition




Terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001, in London on July 7, 2005 and in Mumbai on November 26, 2008 and the continuing response of the United States and others to these attacks, as well as the threat of future terrorist attacks in the United States or elsewhere, continues to cause uncertainty in the world's financial markets and may affect our business, operating results and financial condition. The continuing presence of United States and other armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan may lead to additional acts of terrorism and armed conflict around the world, which may contribute to further economic instability in the global financial markets. These uncertainties could also adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. In the past, political conflicts have also resulted in attacks on vessels, mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt international shipping, particularly in the Arabian Gulf region. Acts of terrorism and piracy have also affected vessels trading in regions such as the South China Sea and the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse impact on our operating results, revenues and costs.




Terrorist attacks on vessels, such as the October 2002 attack on the M.V. Limburg, a very large crude carrier not related to us, may in the future also negatively affect our operations and financial condition and directly impact our Vessel or our customers. Future terrorist attacks could result in increased volatility and turmoil of the financial markets in the United States and globally. Any of these occurrences, or the perception that our Vessel is a potential terrorist target, could have a material adverse impact on our revenues and costs.





If our Vessel calls on ports located in countries that are subject to restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other governments, that could adversely affect our reputation and the market for our common stock




From time to time on charterers' instructions, our Vessel may call on ports located in countries subject to sanctions and embargoes imposed by the United States government and countries identified by the U.S. government as state sponsors of terrorism. The U.S. sanctions and embargo laws and regulations vary in their application, as they do not all apply to the same covered persons or proscribe the same activities, and such sanctions and embargo laws and regulations may be amended or strengthened over time. In 2010, the U.S. enacted the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions Accountability and Divestment Act ("CISADA"), which expanded the scope of the former Iran Sanctions Act. Among other things, CISADA expands the application of the prohibitions to non-U.S. companies, such as our company, and introduces limits on the ability of companies and persons to do business or trade with Iran when such activities relate to the investment, supply or export of refined petroleum or petroleum products. Although we believe that we are in compliance with all applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations, and intend to maintain such compliance, there can be no assurance that we will be in compliance in the future, particularly as the scope of certain laws may be unclear and may be subject to changing interpretations. Any such violation could result in fines or other penalties and could result in some investors deciding, or being required, to divest their interest, or not to invest, in our company. Additionally, some investors may decide to divest their interest, or not to invest, in our company simply because we do business with companies that do business in sanctioned countries. Moreover, our charterers may violate applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations as a result of actions that do not involve us or our Vessel, and those violations could in turn negatively affect our reputation. Investor perception of the value of our common stock may also be adversely affected by the consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest and governmental actions in these and surrounding countries.





We are highly dependent on Chevron and Chevron Corporation





We are highly dependent on the performance by Chevron of its obligations under the Initial Charter and by its guarantor, Chevron Corporation, of its obligations under its guarantee. A failure by Chevron and Chevron Corporation to perform their obligations under the Initial Charter could result in our inability to service the Term Loans, defined below. If the Notes holders had to enforce the mortgages securing the Notes, defined below, they may not be able to recover the principal and interest owed to them.




We may not be able to pay down our debt in the future, which could result in the loss of our Vessel





Currently, we must dedicate a large portion of our cash flow from operations to satisfy our debt service obligations. Our ability to pay interest on, and other amounts due in respect of, our Term Loans, defined below, will depend on our future operating performance, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our cash flow and capital resources will be sufficient for payment of our indebtedness in the future. If we are unable to service our indebtedness or obtain additional financing, as needed, this could have a material adverse effect on the holders of the Term Loans.





We operate in the highly competitive international tanker market which could affect our position when the Initial Charter expires if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option




The operation of tanker vessels and transportation of crude and petroleum products is an extremely competitive business. Competition arises primarily from other tanker owners, including major oil companies as well as independent tanker companies, some of whom have substantially greater resources than us. Competition for the transportation of oil and oil products can be intense and depends on price, location, size, age, condition and the acceptability of the tanker and its operators to the charterers. During the term of the Initial Charter with Chevron we are not exposed to the risk associated with this competition. At the end of the Initial Charter if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option, we will have to compete with other tanker owners, including major oil companies as well as independent tanker companies for charters. Due in part to the fragmented tanker market, competitors with greater resources could enter and operate larger fleets through acquisitions or consolidations and may be able to offer better prices and fleets, which could result in our achieving lower revenues from our Suezmax oil tanker.

The recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations





Japan is one of the world's leading importers of oil and dry bulk commodities. The earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan on March 11, 2011 have caused an estimated $180 billion of damage and have threatened to send the Japanese economy into a recession. As of the date of this annual report, the extent to which the earthquake and tsunami will affect the international shipping industry is unclear. A prolonged recovery period coupled with a relatively stagnant Japanese economy could decrease oil and dry bulk imports to the world's third-largest economy. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.





Compliance with safety and other vessel requirements imposed by classification societies may be costly and could reduce our net cash flows and net income





The hull and machinery of every commercial vessel must be certified as being "in class" by a classification society authorized by its country of registry. The classification society certifies that a vessel is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the vessel and the Safety of Life at Sea Convention.





A vessel must undergo annual surveys, intermediate surveys and special surveys.  In lieu of a special survey, a vessel's machinery may be placed on a continuous survey cycle, under which the machinery would be surveyed periodically over a five-year period. We expect our Vessel to be on special survey cycles for hull inspection and continuous survey cycles for machinery inspection. Our Vessel is also required to be drydocked every two to three years for inspection of its underwater parts.





Compliance with the above requirements may result in significant expense.  If any vessel does not maintain its class or fails any annual, intermediate or special survey, the vessel will be unable to trade between ports and will be unemployable, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.




We are subject to complex laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations, that can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition at the end of the Initial Charter if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option





Our operations will be subject to numerous laws and regulations, in the form of international conventions and treaties, national, state and local laws and national and international regulations in force in the jurisdictions in which our Vessel operates or is registered, which can significantly affect the ownership and operation of our Vessel. These requirements include, but are not limited to, the U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, the International Maritime Organization, or IMO, International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969 (as from time to time amended), generally referred to as CLC, the IMO International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships of 1973 (as from time to time amended), generally referred to as MARPOL, the IMO International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1974 (as from time to time amended), generally referred to as SOLAS, the IMO International Convention on Load Lines of 1966 (as from time to time amended) and the U.S. Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002.  Compliance with such laws and regulations, where applicable, may require installation of costly equipment or operational changes and may affect the resale value or useful life of our Vessel.  Compliance with such laws and regulations may require us to obtain certain permits or authorizations prior to commencing operations.  Failure to obtain such permits or authorizations could materially impact our business results of operations, financial conditions and ability to pay dividends by delaying or limiting our ability to accept charterers.  We may also incur additional costs in order to comply with other existing and future regulatory obligations, including, but not limited to, costs relating to air emissions including greenhouse gases, the management of ballast waters, maintenance and inspection, development and implementation of emergency procedures and insurance coverage or other financial assurance of our ability to address pollution incidents.  These costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and our available cash.  A failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in administrative and civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or termination of our operations.  Environmental laws often impose strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of oil and hazardous substances, which could subject us to liability, without regard to whether we were negligent or at fault.  Under OPA, for example, owners, operators and bareboat charterers are jointly and severally strictly liable for the discharge of oil in U.S. waters, including the 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone around the United States.  An oil spill could also result in significant liability, including fines, penalties, criminal liability and remediation costs for natural resource damages under other international and U.S. Federal, state and local laws, as well as third-party damages, including punitive damages, and could harm our reputation with current or potential charterers of our Vessel.  We will be required to satisfy insurance and financial responsibility requirements for potential oil (including marine fuel) spills and other pollution incidents.  Although our technical manager will arrange for insurance to cover our Vessel with respect to certain environmental risks, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient to cover all such risks or that any claims will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


5





Furthermore, the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon and the subsequent release of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, or other events, may result in further regulation of the tanker industry, and modifications to statutory liability schemes, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.





Extensive and changing environmental laws and other regulations, compliance with which may entail significant expenses, including expenses for ship modifications and changes in operating procedures, affect the operation of our Vessel. Although Chevron is responsible for all operational matters and bears all these expenses during the term of the Initial Charter, these expenses could have an adverse effect on our business operations at any time after the expiration of the Initial Charter or in the event Chevron fails to make a necessary payment.




We may not have adequate insurance at the end of the Initial Charter if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option




There are a number of risks associated with the operation of oceangoing vessels, including mechanical failure, collision, human error, war, terrorism, property loss, cargo loss or damage and business interruption due to political circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities and labor strikes. Any of these events may result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows. In addition, following the terrorist attack in New York City on September 11, 2001, and the military response of the United States, the likelihood of future acts of terrorism may increase, and our Vessel may face higher risks of attack. Future hostilities or other political instability, as shown by the attack on the Limburg in Yemen in October 2002, could affect our trade patterns and adversely affect our operations and our revenues, cash flows and profitability. In addition, the operation of any vessel is subject to the inherent possibility of marine disaster, including oil spills and other environmental mishaps, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade.




Under the Initial Charter, Chevron bears all risks associated with the operation of our Vessel including the total loss of our Vessel. However, we cannot assure holders of the Notes that we will adequately insure against all risks at the end of the Initial Charter if Chevron does not exercise its purchase option. We may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates for our Vessel in the future and the insurers may not pay particular claims. For example, a catastrophic spill could exceed our insurance coverage and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, we may not be able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future and we cannot guarantee that any particular claim will be paid. In the past, new and stricter environmental regulations have led to higher costs for insurance covering environmental damage or pollution, and new regulations could lead to similar increases or even make this type of insurance unavailable. Furthermore, even if insurance coverage is adequate to cover our losses, we may not be able to timely obtain a replacement ship in the event of a loss. We may also be subject to calls, or premiums, in amounts based not only on our own claim records but also the claim records of all other members of the protection and indemnity associations through which we receive indemnity insurance coverage for tort liability. Our payment of these calls could result in significant expenses to us that could reduce our cash flows and place strains on our liquidity and capital resources.




Governments could requisition our Vessel during a period of war or emergency, resulting in a loss of earnings




The government of our Vessel's registry could requisition for title or seize our Vessel. Requisition for title occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and becomes the owner. A government could also requisition our Vessel for hire. Requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and effectively becomes her charterer at dictated charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during a period of war or emergency. Government requisition of our Vessel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to service our debt.





Our Vessel may call on ports located in countries that are subject to restrictions imposed by the United States government, which could adversely affect investor perceptions




The Initial Charter is a bareboat charter and, from time to time, our Vessel may call on ports located in countries subject to sanctions and embargoes imposed by the United States government and countries identified by the United States government as state sponsors of terrorism. Although these sanctions and embargoes do not prevent our Vessel from making calls to ports in these countries, potential investors could view such port calls negatively, which could adversely affect our reputation and the market for the Notes, defined below. Investor perception of the value of the Notes may be adversely affected by the consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest and governmental actions in these and surrounding countries.




The Notes may not be as liquid as other securities with established trading markets, which may affect the value of the Notes and your ability to trade them




The Notes, defined below, are not listed on any national securities exchange and have no established trading market. Consequently, the Notes could trade at prices that may be higher or lower than their principal amount or purchase price, depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes and warrants, and our financial performance. The placement agents for the Notes currently make a market for them, but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue their market making activity at any time. In addition, their market making activity is subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We cannot assure you that an active trading market will exist for the Notes or that any market for the Notes will be liquid.

Substantial leverage and debt service could affect our ability to grow and service our debt obligations




We are highly leveraged. As of December 31, 2010, we had $14.9 million in total indebtedness outstanding and equity of $0.9 million. The degree to which we are leveraged could have important consequences for the holders of the Notes, including:




·
we may have trouble withstanding competitive pressures and responding to changing business conditions;




·
we may be more vulnerable than others in the event of a downturn in general economic conditions or in our business; and




·
we may be more highly leveraged than other tanker owners with which we compete, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage.




Because our offices and most of our assets are outside the United States, you may not be able to bring suit against us, or enforce a judgment obtained against us in the United States




Our executive offices, administrative activities and assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be more difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us, or to enforce both in the United States and outside the United States judgments against us in any action, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.




We have a limited business purpose which limits our flexibility




Our activity is limited to engaging in the acquisition, disposition, ownership, and chartering of a Suezmax oil tanker. During the terms of our Initial Charter with Chevron, we expect that the only source of operating revenue from which we may pay principal and interest on the Term Loans will be from such charter.




Item 4.       INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY




A.           History and Development of the Company




CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited, was incorporated in the Isle of Man on May 13, 1994 together with three other companies: CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited and CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited, each of which was incorporated in The Bahamas. These entities, or the Owners, were organized as special purpose companies for the purpose of acquiring one of four oil tankers from Chevron which were concurrently chartered on long-term charter agreements back to Chevron.




We, along with CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited and CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited are wholly-owned by California Tankers Investments Limited, a company organized under the laws of The Bahamas, which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of CalPetro Holdings Limited, an Isle of Man company. CalPetro Holdings Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Independent Tankers Corporation, or ITC, a Cayman Islands company. ITC is itself wholly-owned by Independent Tankers Corporation Limited, or ITCL. ITCL was established in February 2008 and it is 82.47% owned by Frontline Ltd., or Frontline, a Bermuda company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange and Oslo Stock Exchange.




California Petroleum Transport Corporation, or California Petroleum or CPTC, a Delaware corporation which we refer to as acting as agent on behalf of the Owners, issued as full recourse obligations $167,500,000 Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes, or the Serial Notes, and $117,900,000 8.52% First Preferred Mortgage Notes due in 2015, which we refer to as the Term Notes and together with the Serial Notes as the Notes. The Serial Notes were fully repaid April 1, 2006. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes were applied by way of long-term loans, being 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 the oil tankers from Chevron. We were allocated $51,830,000 of the Serial Loans and $29,842,000 of the Term Loans and acquired our Vessel as described below. We engage in no business other than the ownership and chartering of our Vessel and activities resulting from or incidental to such ownership and chartering.




Our principal executive offices are located at Mareva House, 4 George Street, PO Box N-3937, Nassau, The Bahamas.

B.           Business Overview


Our Vessel is a 150,000 dwt Suezmax oil tanker, which was acquired from Chevron. Suezmax tankers are medium-sized vessels ranging from approximately 120,000 to 200,000 dwt, and of the maximum length, breadth and draft requirements to be capable of passing fully loaded through the Suez Canal.




Our Vessel is initially chartered to Chevron for a term expiring on April 1, 2015. Chevron has the option to purchase our Vessel for $1 on expiration provided the Initial Charter is still in place.




Chevron is principally engaged in the marine transportation of oil and refined petroleum products. Chevron's primary transportation routes are from the Middle East, Indonesia, Mexico, West Africa and the North Sea to ports in the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom and Asia. Chevron has advised us that it expects to use our Vessel worldwide as permitted under the Initial Charter. The obligations of Chevron under the Initial Charter are guaranteed by Chevron Corporation, a major international oil company, pursuant to a guarantee, or the Chevron Guarantee. Chevron is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation.




Our Vessel is a double hull oil carrier and is presently registered under The Bahamas flag. Our Vessel was constructed under the supervision of Chevron and designed to Chevron's specifications to enhance safety and reduce operating and maintenance costs, including such features as high performance rudders, extra steel (minimal use of high tensile steels), additional fire safety equipment, redundant power generation equipment, extra coating and electrolytic corrosion monitoring and protection systems, additional crew quarters to facilitate added manning and a double hull design patented by one of Chevron Corporation's subsidiaries. The builder of our Vessel was Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.




Management




On March 31, 1999, Frontline became our manager and technical advisor pursuant to an assignment of our management agreement, or the Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement, Frontline provides administrative, ship management and advisory services to the Company as manager, or Manager. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager receives an annual fee of $13,625 for each Vessel, along with an additional annual fee of $3,000 covering all four Vessels. The technical advisor's fee consists of an annual fee of $10,000 for each Vessel, payable semi-annually in arrears. Both the management fee and the technical advisor's fee, which together we refer to as the Management Fee, is payable semi-annually in arrears for the period until the third anniversary of the closing of the issue of the Notes, then increasing by four percent on each subsequent anniversary of the closing of the issue of the Notes.




Seasonality





Historically, oil trade and, therefore, charter rates increased in the winter months and eased in the summer months as demand for oil in the Northern Hemisphere rose in colder weather and fell in warmer weather. The tanker industry, in general, has become less dependent on the seasonal transport of heating oil than a decade ago as new uses for oil and oil products have developed, spreading consumption more evenly over the year. Most apparent is a higher seasonal demand during the summer months due to energy requirements for air conditioning and motor vehicles.





Competition





The market for international seaborne crude oil transportation services is highly fragmented and competitive. Seaborne crude oil transportation services generally are provided by two main types of operators: major oil company captive fleets (both private and state-owned) and independent ship-owner fleets. In addition, several owners and operators pool their vessels together on an ongoing basis, and such pools are available to customers to the same extent as independently owned-and-operated fleets. Many major oil companies and other oil trading companies, the primary charterers of the vessels owned or controlled by us, also operate their own vessels and use such vessels not only to transport their own crude oil but also to transport crude oil for third-party charterers in direct competition with independent owners and operators in the tanker charter market. Competition for charters is intense and is based upon price, location, size, age, condition and acceptability of the vessel and its manager. Competition is also affected by the availability of other size vessels to compete in the trades in which the Company engages. Charters are, to a large extent, brokered through international independent brokerage houses that specialize in finding the optimal ship for any particular cargo based on the aforementioned criteria. Brokers may be appointed by the cargo shipper or the ship owner.





Environmental and Other Regulations





Government regulations and laws significantly affect the ownership and operation of our Vessel. We are subject to international conventions, national, state and local laws and regulations in force in the countries in which our Vessel may operate or is registered and compliance with such laws, regulations and other requirements may entail significant expense.




8


Our Vessel is subject to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections by a variety of government, quasi-governmental and private organizations including local port authorities, national authorities, harbor masters or equivalent, classification societies, flag state administrations (countries of registry) and charterers. Our failure to maintain permits, licenses, certificates or other authorizationsrequired by some of these entities could require us to incur substantial costs or temporarily suspend operation of our Vessel or lead to the invalidation or reduction of our insurance coverage.




We believe that the heightened levels of environmental and quality concerns among insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers have led to greater inspection and safety requirements on all vessels and may accelerate the scrapping of older vessels throughout the industry. Increasing environmental concerns have created a demand for vessels that conform to stricter environmental standards.  We believe that the operation of our Vessel is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that our Vessel has all material permits, licenses, certificates or other authorizations necessary for the conduct of our operations. However, because such laws and regulations are frequently changed and may impose increasingly stricter requirements, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with these requirements, or the impact of these requirements on the resale value or useful life of our Vessel. Moreover, additional legislation or regulation applicable to the operation of our Vessel that may be implemented in the future, such as in response to a serious marine incident like the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico could negatively affect our profitability.




International Maritime Organization




The International Maritime Organization, or the IMO, the United Nations agency for maritime safety and the prevention of pollution by ships, has adopted several international conventions that regulate the international shipping industry, including the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, or the MARPOL Convention. The MARPOL Convention establishes environmental standards relating to oil leakage or spilling, garbage management, sewage, air emissions, handling and disposal of noxious liquids and the handling of harmful substances in packaged form.




The operation of our Vessel is also affected by the requirements contained in the International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention, or ISM Code, promulgated by the IMO under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, or SOLAS. The ISM Code requires the party with operational control of a vessel to develop an extensive safety management system that includes, among other things, the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for operating its vessels safely and describing procedures for responding to emergencies. We intend to rely upon the safety management system that our appointed ship managers have developed.





The IMO has adopted an International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments in February 2004, or the BWM Convention. The Convention's implementing regulations call for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements, to be replaced in time with mandatory concentration limits. The BWM Convention will not enter into force until 12 months after it has been adopted by 30 states, the combined merchant fleets of which represent not less than 35% of the gross tonnage of the world's merchant shipping. The Convention has not yet entered into force because a sufficient number of states have failed to adopt it.  However, the IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee passed a resolution in March 2010 encouraging the ratification of the Convention and calling upon those countries that have already ratified to encourage the installation of ballast water management systems. If ballast water treatment requirements become mandatory, the cost of compliance could increase for ocean carriers. It is difficult to predict the overall impact of such a requirement on our operations.




Noncompliance with the ISM Code or with other IMO regulations may subject a shipowner or bareboat charterer to increased liability, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for affected vessels and may result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports including United States and European Union ports.




United States





The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act




The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, established an extensive regulatory and liability regime for environmental protection and cleanup of oil spills. OPA affects all owners and operators whose vessels trade with the United States or its territories or possessions, or whose vessels operate in the waters of the United States, which include the U.S. territorial sea and the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone around the United States. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, imposes liability for cleanup and natural resource damage from the release of hazardous substances (other than oil) whether on land or at sea. Both OPA and CERCLA impact our operations.




Under OPA, vessel owners, operators and bareboat charterers are responsible parties who are jointly, severally and strictly liable (unless the spill results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war) for all containment and clean-up costs and other damages arising from oil spills from their vessels. OPA limits the liability of responsible parties with respect to tankers over 3,000 gross tons to the greater of $2,000 per gross ton or $17,088,000 per double hull tanker, and permits individual states to impose their own liability regimes with regard to oil pollution incidents occurring within their boundaries. Some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for discharge of pollutants within their waters, however, in some cases, states which have enacted this type of legislation have not yet issued implementing regulations defining tanker owners' responsibilities under these laws. CERCLA, which applies to owners and operators of vessels, contains a similar liability regime and provides for cleanup, removal and natural resource damages. Liability under CERCLA is limited to the greater of $300 per gross ton or $5.0 million for vessels carrying a hazardous substance as cargo and the greater of $300 per gross ton or $0.5 million for any other vessel.


9




These limits of liability do not apply, however, where the incident is caused by violation of applicable U.S. federal safety, construction or operating regulations, or by the responsible party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. These limits also do not apply if the responsible party fails or refuses to report the incident or to cooperate and assist in connection with the substance removal activities. OPA and CERCLA each preserve the right to recover damages under existing law, including maritime tort law. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with OPA, CERCLA and all applicable state regulations in the ports where our Vessel calls.




OPA also requires owners and operators of vessels to establish and maintain with the U.S. Coast Guard evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet the limit of their potential strict liability under the act. Under the regulations, evidence of financial responsibility may be demonstrated by insurance, surety bond, self-insurance or guaranty. Under OPA regulations, an owner or operator of more than one tanker is required to demonstrate evidence of financial responsibility for the entire fleet in an amount equal only to the financial responsibility requirement of the tanker having the greatest maximum strict liability under OPA and CERCLA. We have provided such evidence and received certificates of financial responsibility from the U.S. Coast Guard for our Vessel as required.




Other U.S. Environmental Initiatives




The U.S. Clean Water Act, or CWA, prohibits the discharge of oil, hazardous substances and ballast water in U.S. navigable waters unless authorized by a duly-issued permit or exemption, and imposes strict liability in the form of penalties for any unauthorized discharges. The CWA also imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages and complements the remedies available under OPA and CERCLA. Furthermore, most U.S. states that border a navigable waterway have enacted environmental pollution laws that impose strict liability on a person for removal costs and damages resulting from a discharge of oil or a release of a hazardous substance. These laws may be more stringent than U.S. federal law.





The United States Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, has enacted rules requiring a permit regulating ballast water discharges and other discharges incidental to the normal operation of certain vessels within United States waters under the Vessel General Permit for Discharges Incidental to the Normal Operation of Vessels, or VGP. To be covered by the VGP, owners of certain vessels must submit a Notice of Intent, or NOI, at least 30 days before the vessel operates in United States waters. Compliance with the VGP could require the installation of equipment on our Vessel to treat ballast water before it is discharged or the implementation of other disposal arrangements, and/or otherwise restrict our Vessel from entering United States waters. In addition, certain states have enacted more stringent discharge standards as conditions to their required certification of the VGP. We submit NOIs for our Vessel where required and do not believe that the costs associated with obtaining and complying with the VGP have a material impact on our operations.





U.S. Coast Guard regulations adopted and proposed for adoption under the U.S. National Invasive Species Act, or NISA, impose mandatory ballast water management practices for all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks entering U.S. waters, which could require the installation of equipment on our Vessel to treat ballast water before it is discharged or the implementation of other port facility disposal arrangements or procedures, and/or otherwise restrict our vessels from entering U.S. waters.




The U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 and 1990, or the CAA, requires the EPA to promulgate standards applicable to emissions of volatile organic compounds and other air contaminants. Our Vessel is subject to vapor control and recovery requirements for certain cargoes when loading, unloading, ballasting, cleaning and conducting other operations in regulated port areas. Our Vessel, to the extent it operates in such port areas with restricted cargoes, is equipped with vapor recovery systems that satisfy these requirements. The CAA also requires states to draft State Implementation Plans, or SIPs, designed to attain national health-based air quality standards in primarily major metropolitan and/or industrial areas. Several SIPs regulate emissions resulting from vessel loading and unloading operations by requiring the installation of vapor control equipment. As indicated above, our Vessel, to the extent it operates in covered port areas, is already equipped with vapor recovery systems that satisfy these existing requirements.




European Union




The European Union has adopted legislation that would: (1) ban manifestly sub-standard vessels (defined as those over 15 years old that have been detained by port authorities at least twice in a six month period) from European waters and create an obligation of port states to inspect vessels posing a high risk to maritime safety or the marine environment; and (2) provide the European Union with greater authority and control over classification societies, including the ability to seek to suspend or revoke the authority of negligent societies. In addition, European Union regulations enacted in 2003 now prohibit all single hull tankers from entering into its ports or offshore terminals.




10


Greenhouse Gas Regulation
 
 The IMO is evaluating mandatory measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping, which may include market-based instruments or a carbon tax. The European Union has indicated that it intends to propose an expansion of the existing European Union emissions trading scheme to include emissions of greenhouse gases from marine vessels. In the United States, the EPA has issued a finding that greenhouse gases endanger the public health and safety and has been petitioned, and had been threatened with a potential lawsuit, by the California Attorney General to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from ocean-going vessels. In addition, climate change initiatives are being considered in the U.S. Congress. Any passage of climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives by the IMO, EU, the U.S. or other countries where we operate, or any treaty adopted at the international level to succeed the Kyoto Protocol, that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases could require us to make significant financial expenditures that we cannot predict with certainty at this time.




Vessel Security Regulations




Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, there have been a variety of initiatives intended to enhance vessel security including the U.S. Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, or MTSA, amendments to SOLAS and a requirement that any vessel trading internationally obtain an International Ship Security Certificate from a recognized security organization approved by the vessel's flag state. We believe that our Vessel is currently in compliance with applicable security requirements.




Inspection by Classification Societies




Every oceangoing vessel must be "classed" by a classification society. The classification society certifies that the vessel is "in-class," signifying that the vessel has been built and maintained in accordance with the rules of the classification society and complies with applicable rules and regulations of the vessel's country of registry and the international conventions of which that country is a member. In addition, where surveys are required by international conventions and corresponding laws and ordinances of a flag state, the classification society will undertake them on application or by official order, acting on behalf of the authorities concerned.




Most insurance underwriters make it a condition for insurance coverage that a vessel be certified as "in-class" by a classification society which is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies. Our Vessel is certified as being "in-class" by a recognized classification society.




Risk of Loss and Insurance




The operation of any ocean-going vessel carries an inherent risk of catastrophic marine disasters, environmental mishaps, cargo and property losses or damage and business interruptions caused by adverse weather and ocean conditions, mechanical failures, human error, political action in various countries, war, terrorism, piracy, labor strikes and other circumstances or events. Pursuant to the Initial Charter, our Vessel may be operated through out the world in any lawful trade for which our Vessel is suitable, including carrying oil and its products. In the past, political conflicts in many regions, particularly in the Arabian Gulf, have included attacks on tankers, mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt shipping in the area. Vessels trading in such regions have also been subject to acts of terrorism and piracy. In addition, the carriage of petroleum products is subject to the risk of spillage and leakage. Any such event may result in increased costs or the loss of revenues or assets, including our Vessel.





Under the Initial Charter, Chevron is entitled to self-insure against marine and war risks relating to our Vessel and against protections and indemnity risks relating to our Vessel during the term of the Initial Charter and, accordingly, purchasers of the Notes cannot rely on the existence of third-party insurance. There can be no assurance that all risks will be adequately insured against, that any particular loss will be covered or that we will be able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future. In particular, stricter environmental regulations may result in increased costs for, or the lack of availability of, insurance against the risks of environmental damage or pollution.





Chevron will, pursuant to the Initial Charter, indemnify us from damages arising from a failure to maintain any financial responsibility requirements whether relating to oil or other pollution damage. Chevron, will also indemnify us to the extent losses, damages or expenses are incurred by us relating to oil or other pollution damage as a result of the operation of our Vessel by Chevron.





C.           Organizational Structure




As described above, and also in Item 7 "Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions", we are a wholly-owned subsidiary of California Tankers Investments Limited, a company organized under the laws of The Bahamas, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CalPetro Holdings Limited. CalPetro Holdings Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITC. ITC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITCL and 82.47% of the common shares of ITCL are owned by Frontline.

Item 5.       OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS




Overview




The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Item 3 "Selected Financial Data" and the Company's audited Financial Statements and Notes thereto included herein.




Our Vessel has been chartered to Chevron under a bareboat charter which provides:




a)
charterhire payments sufficient to pay, so long as the Initial Charter is in effect:




i.
the obligations under the loans for acquiring our Vessel,




ii.
management fees and technical advisor's fees,




iii.
recurring fees and taxes, and




iv.
any other costs and expenses incidental to the ownership and chartering of our Vessel;




b)
termination payments sufficient to make sinking fund and interest payments on the Term Loans, to the extent allocable to our Vessel for which the related Initial Charter has been terminated, for at least two years following any such termination, during which time our Vessel may be sold or re-chartered; and




c)
that our Vessel will be maintained in accordance with the good commercial maintenance practices required by the Initial Charter and to arrange for vessel management and remarketing services to be available in case the Initial Charter is terminated by Chevron, or our Vessel is for any other reason returned to our possession and use.




Our Vessel was initially chartered to Chevron for a term expiring on April 1, 2015. No notice was received within the 12 months prior to the option date as required by the Initial Charter, so Chevron was prevented from invoking its right to terminate on April 1, 2011, therefore, the charter continues to April 1, 2015.




Market Overview and Trend Information




According to industry sources, the average TCE rate for a modern Suezmax was $29,600 per day in 2010. The tanker market in 2010 was characterized by a strong first half and a weak second half. Storage activities and delays in the newbuilding delivery schedule contributed positively to the first half of the year and the year started rather strongly with average earnings of $36,700 per day in the first quarter and $38,000 per day in the second quarter. The second half of the year returned lower earnings per day mostly due to the lack of vessels being used as floating storage and the high availability of tonnage. Consequently the average TCE for the third and the fourth quarter was $18,500 and $25,300 per day respectively.





The removal of single hulled vessels throughout the year was modest and below most expectations. However, due to their trading restrictions interference with the more modern tonnage was rather limited. Furthermore, a large increase in world oil demand helped the continued growth throughout the year of the seaborne oil trade. Industry sources indicate a 4% growth in the volume of seaborne oil trade and a 3% increase in transport distances. China maintained its imports from West Africa, and thus continues to be one of the most important participants to the large tanker market and a main contributor to what industry sources estimate was a 7% ton-mile increase in 2010.





The Suezmax fleet increased by approximately 6.5% in 2010 to 410 vessels. Throughout 2010, a total of 38 new vessels were delivered to owners and 57 new orders were placed. The total order book consisted of 146 vessels at the end of 2010, representing approximately 36% of the existing fleet.





Throughout 2011, it is estimated that 62 new Suezmaxes will enter the market, including 13 in the first quarter. In 2010, industry sources expected that 61 Suezmaxes would be delivered, while only 38 were delivered. This resulted in 39% slippage for the year and the trend is expected to continue throughout 2011. Furthermore, there are still single hull vessels trading actively. The phase out program has not yet been completed and the fleet counted 14 non-double hull Suezmaxes at the end of 2010.

According to the May 2011 report from the International Energy Agency, or "IEA", average OPEC production is estimated at 29.2 million barrels per day in 2010. The expected 2011 OPEC production output figure has not yet been published by the IEA. However,the IEA estimates a production figure of about 29.7 million barrels per day for the first quarter of 2011, which is approximately 200,000 barrels per day more compared to the production output in the fourth quarter of 2010.





The IEA further estimates that the average world oil demand was 87.9 million barrels per day in 2010, which represents an increase of 3.3% or 2.8 million barrels per day from 2009. For 2011, the world oil demand is estimated at 89.2 million barrels per day, representing an increase of 1.5% or 1.3 million barrels per day from 2010.





The bunker (vessel fuel oil) market followed movements in the oil market closely in 2010. The average bunker price in Philadelphia was approximately $478/mt in 2010, which represents an increase of $100/mt from 2009. The prices ranged from a low of $417/mt at the end of May to a high of $528/mt at the end of December.





According to the 'World Economic Outlook - Update' published by The International Monetary Fund, or "IMF", in April 2011, World Output, or GDP, increased 5 % in 2010, which was a substantial upward shift compared to the 2009 -0.5% growth. For 2011 and 2012 the IMF forecasts World GDP growth of 4.4% and 4.5%, respectively.

The decrease in interest income in the year ended December 31, 2009 is primarily due to a reduction in interest rates. Interest expense has decreased in line with expectations, with interest expense falling in line with the principal loan outstanding each year. The Company amortizes the deferred charges over the life of the Term Loans.




Liquidity and Capital Resources




As of December 31, 2010, revenues from the Initial Charter were sufficient to pay our obligations under the Term Loans. Chevron's option to terminate the Initial Charter on the last specified termination date, April 1, 2011, has now passed, therefore the charter will run until April 1, 2015.





The Company is jointly and severally liable with the other Owners for all the Owners obligations and liabilities in relation to the Term Loans but only to the extent of the proceeds received by California Petroleum Transport Corporation from California Petroleum Transport Corporation's right, title and interest in and to the collateral.




Off-balance Sheet Arrangements




None.

Critical Accounting Policies




Our principal accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the financial statements, which are included in Item 18-Financial Statements of this Annual Report. The most critical accounting is financing lease and revenue recognition. As the lease has been classified as a finance lease, the minimum lease payments (net of amounts representing estimated executory costs including profit thereon) plus the unguaranteed residual value are recorded as the gross investment in the lease. The difference between the gross investment in the lease and the sum of the present values of the two components of the gross investment is recorded as unearned income which is amortized to income over the lease term as finance lease interest income to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
 In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that changes the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. The changes also clarify existing disclosure requirements related to how assets and liabilities should be grouped by class and valuation techniques used for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter 2010, which did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.





In February 2010, the FASB amended guidance on subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts between FASB guidance and SEC requirements. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements in the first quarter 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial statements.





In July 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires expanded disclosures about the credit quality of an entity's financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses on a disaggregated basis. The adoption of this guidance by the Company with effect from 1 January 2010 did not have any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

(b)           Qualitative information about market risk




We were organized for the purpose of acquiring and chartering our Vessel, which is currently on a bareboat charter until 2015. We have no sources for the payment of the principal of, and the interest on, the Notes except for the Restricted Cash accounts held by the Trustee. Accordingly, our ability to pay debt service on the Notes is wholly dependent upon our financial condition, results of operation and cash flows from our Vessel's operation. As such, we believe that we are not exposed to any material market risk.




There is a concentration of credit risk with respect to Restricted Cash and Investments to the extent that all of the amounts are invested with The Bank of New York Mellon.




There is a concentration of credit risk due to the fact that the sole source of charter income is Chevron Transport Corporation.

(a)           Disclosure controls and procedures




Management assessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 31, 2010, the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2010.




(b)           Management's annual report on internal controls over financial reporting




Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.




Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:




·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;




·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Company's management and directors; and




·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.




Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.




Management conducted the evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting using the control criteria framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, published in its report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework.




Our management with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer assessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 31, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's internal controls over financial reporting are effective as of December 31, 2010.

(d)           Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

Notes to the Financial Statements





1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS





Calpetro Tankers (IOM) Limited ("the Company") was incorporated in the Isle of Man on May 13, 1994 with three other entities: CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited and CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited, each of which was incorporated in the Bahamas. These entities (the "Owners") were organized as special purpose companies for the purpose of acquiring one of four oil tankers (each a "Vessel", together the "Vessels") from Chevron Transport Corporation ("Chevron") which were concurrently chartered on long-term charter agreements back to Chevron.





The Company along with CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited,  and CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited are wholly-owned by California Tankers Investments Limited, a company organized under the laws of the Bahamas, which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of CalPetro Holdings Limited, an Isle of Man company. CalPetro Holdings Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Independent Tankers Corporation ("ITC"), a Cayman Islands company. ITC is wholly owned by Independent Tankers Corporation Limited, a Bermuda company ("ITCL"), which is 82.47% owned by Frontline Ltd ("Frontline"), a publicly listed Bermuda company.





California Petroleum Transport Corporation ("California Petroleum" or "CPTC"), a Delaware corporation, acting as agent on behalf of the Owners, issued as full recourse obligations $167,500,000 Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes (the "Serial Notes") and $117,900,000 8.52% First Preferred Mortgage Notes due 2015 (the "Term Notes")  (together the "Notes"). The Serial Notes were fully repaid April 1, 2006. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes were applied by way of long-term loans, being Serial Loans in respect of the Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes and Term Loans in respect of the First Preferred Mortgage Notes due 2015, to the Owners to fund the acquisition of their Vessels from Chevron. The Company was allocated $51,830,000 of the Serial Loans and $29,842,000 of the Term Loans and acquired its Vessel, the Sirius Voyager. The Company engages in no business other than the ownership and Initial Chartering of its Vessel and activities resulting from or incidental to such ownership and chartering.





The Company's only source of funds with respect to the Term Loans is payments from Chevron, including the Termination Payment. The Company does not have any other source of funds for payment of the Term Loans.





2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES





Basis of Presentation


The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires that management make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.





Financing lease and revenue recognition


The long-term charter agreement between the Company and Chevron transfers to Chevron all the risks and rewards associated with ownership, other than legal title, and contains a bargain purchase option. As such, it is classified as a direct financing lease in accordance with ASC 840.





Accordingly, the present value of the minimum payments under the charter agreement is recorded as the gross investment in the finance lease. The difference between the gross investment in the finance lease and the cost of the Vessel is recorded as unearned income which is amortized to income over the life of the charter agreement to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the finance lease.





Interest payable recognition






Deferred charges


Deferred charges comprise expenses incurred in connection with the structuring of the financing transactions and issuance of debt. Such expenses are being amortized over the life of the debt on a straight line basis, which is not materially different to the effective interest rate method.





Taxation


The Company is exempt from United States Federal, State and Local income taxes on its interest income and has been granted exemptions from the statutory 18% tax on profits required to be assessed against Isle of Man companies.

CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited


Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)





2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)





Reporting and functional currency


The reporting currency is United States dollars. The functional currency is United States dollars.





Financial Instruments


In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance sheet date. For the majority of financial instruments, including long-term debt, standard market conventions and techniques are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.





3.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS





In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that changes the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Specifically, the changes require a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. The changes also clarify existing disclosure requirements related to how assets and liabilities should be grouped by class and valuation techniques used for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter 2010, which did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.





In February 2010, the FASB amended guidance on subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts between FASB guidance and SEC requirements. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements in the first quarter 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial statements.





In July 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires expanded disclosures about the credit quality of an entity's financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses on a disaggregated basis. The adoption of this guidance by the Company with effect from 1 January 2010 did not have any effect on its consolidated financial statements.





4.   SEGMENT INFORMATION




The Company has only one reportable segment.




5.   RESTRICTED CASH AND INVESTMENTS





The restricted cash and investment accounts were established and are maintained by The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly the Chase Manhattan Trust Company of California and JPMorgan Chase) as the collateral trustee who maintains the accounts as collateral agent for the equal and ratable benefit of the holders of the Term Notes. Charterhire payments are deposited into a revenue account and these funds can only be used to fund the principal and interest due on the Term Notes and any operating costs in relation to operating the Owners.




6.   FINANCE LEASE





The Company has chartered its Vessel on a long term bareboat charter (the "Initial Charter") to Chevron, which has a term expiring on April 1, 2015 subject to Chevron's right to terminate the Initial Charter on certain specified dates. Chevron did not elect to terminate the Initial Charter on any of the specified dates, the last being April 1, 2011. Chevron has the option to purchase the Vessel for $1 on April 1, 2015.

The Term Loans notes include certain covenants such as restriction on the payment of dividends and making additional loans or advances to affiliates.  At December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.





The Company is jointly and severally liable with the other Owners for all the Owners obligations and liabilities in relation to the Term Loans but only to the extent of the proceeds received by California Petroleum Transport Corporation from California Petroleum Transport Corporation's right, title and interest in and to the collateral.

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





Restricted cash and investments - 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 (level two per ASC Topic 820).





Concentrations of risk





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





There is a concentration of credit risk with respect to Restricted Cash and Investments to the extent that all of the amounts are invested with The Bank of New York Mellon.





There is a concentration of credit risk due to the fact that the sole source of charter income is Chevron Transport Corporation.
