INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Teekay Shipping Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Teekay Shipping Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001. Our review also included Schedule A listed in Index Item 1. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We were furnished with the report of other accountants on their review of the interim information of Ugland Nordic Shipping ASA, whose total assets as of March 31, 2001 and whose revenues for the period from acquisition constituted 18 percent and 2 percent, respectively, of the consolidated totals.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews and the report of other accountants, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and schedule referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Teekay Shipping Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated February 16, 2001 (except for note 13 which is as of March 6, 2001), we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and related schedule as of December 31, 2000, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet and schedule from which they has been derived.

(Information as at March 31, 2001 and for the Three-Month Periods
Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 is unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals), necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.
2. Acquisition of Ugland Nordic Shipping ASA
As of March 31, 2001, the Company had purchased approximately a 64% interest in Ugland Nordic Shipping ASA (“UNS”) (nine percent of which was purchased in fiscal 2000), for $143.9 million cash, including estimated transaction expenses of $7.0 million, or at an average price of Norwegian Kroner 134 per share. UNS controls a modern fleet of 18 shuttle tankers (including four newbuildings) that engage in the transportation of oil from offshore production platforms to refineries. Shares of UNS are currently listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.
The acquisition of UNS has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, based upon preliminary estimates of fair value. UNS’ operating results are reflected in these financial statements commencing March 6, 2001, the date the Company acquired control. Equity income related to the Company’s nine percent interest in UNS up to December 31, 2000 has been credited as an adjustment to retained earnings. The Company’s interest in UNS for the period from January 1, 2001 to March 5, 2001 has been included in equity income for the corresponding period. In April 2001, the Company purchased an additional 34% interest in UNS (see Note 12).
The following table shows comparative summarized consolidated pro forma financial information for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and gives effect to the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares in UNS as if it had taken place January 1, 2000:

The Company’s investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are carried at fair value. Net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities, if material, are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

4. Goodwill
Goodwill acquired as a result of the acquisition of UNS (see Note 2) is amortized over 20 years using the straight-line method. Management periodically reviews goodwill for permanent diminution in value. As at March 31, 2001, goodwill is net of accumulated amortization of $0.2 million.
5. Cash Flows
Cash interest paid during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 totalled approximately $18.0 million and $14.9 million, respectively.
6. Income Taxes
The legal jurisdictions of the countries in which Teekay and the majority of its subsidiaries are incorporated do not impose income taxes upon shipping-related activities. The Company’s Australian ship-owning subsidiaries and Norwegian subsidiary UNS are subject to income taxes (see Note 10). Included in other long-term liabilities are deferred income taxes of $34.0 million at March 31, 2001 and $4.2 million at December 31, 2000. The Company accounts for such taxes using the liability method pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.

======= =======
The Company has two long-term Revolving Credit Facilities (the “Revolvers”) available which, as at March 31 2001, provided for borrowings of up to $555.8 million. Interest payments are based on LIBOR (March 31, 2001: 4.88%; December 31, 2000: 6.40%) plus a margin depending on the financial leverage of the Company; at March 31, 2001 the margins ranged between 0.50% and 0.85% (December 31, 2000: 0.50% and 0.85%). The amount available under the Revolvers reduces semi-annually with final balloon reductions in 2006 and 2008. The Revolvers are collaterized by first priority mortgages granted on 33 of the Company’s vessels, together with certain other related collateral, and a guarantee from the Company for all amounts outstanding under the Revolvers.
The 8.32% First Preferred Ship Mortgage Notes due February 1, 2008 (the “8.32% Notes”) are collaterized by first preferred mortgages on seven of the Company’s Aframax tankers, together with certain other related collateral, and are guaranteed by seven subsidiaries of the Company that own the mortgaged vessels (the “8.32% Notes Guarantor Subsidiaries”) to a maximum of 95% of the fair value of their net assets. As at March 31, 2001, the fair value of these net assets approximated $233.9 million. The 8.32% Notes are also subject to a sinking fund, which will retire $45.0 million principal amount of the 8.32% Notes on each February 1, commencing 2004.

Term loans of UNS are not collateralized by guarantees from the Company.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
As at March 31, 2001, UNS was committed to the construction of three newbuilding shuttle tankers, having an aggregate cost of $160.8 million. A joint venture company, 50%-owned by UNS, was committed to the construction of one additional newbuilding shuttle tanker, having a cost of approximately $63.4 million. The newbuilding vessels are scheduled for delivery between May 2001 and September 2003. As of March 31, 2001, there have been payments made towards these commitments of $60.8 million (including $18.9 million made by the 50%-owned joint venture) and long-term financing arrangements exist for $122.3 million (including $44.5 million for the 50%-owned joint venture) of the unpaid cost of these vessels. It is the Company’s intention to finance the remaining unpaid amount of $41.1 million through either additional debt borrowings or surplus cash balances, or a combination thereof. The remaining payments required to be made under these newbuilding contracts are as follows: $67.0 million in 2001, $43.3 million in 2002 and $53.1 million in 2003. Of the $67.0 million due in 2001, $44.5 million will be paid by the 50%-owned joint venture.

11. Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which establishes new standards for recording derivatives in interim and annual financial statements. This statement requires the recording of all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending upon the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either offset against the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments through income, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized into income. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized into income. SFAS 133, as amended by Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 and No. 138, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
The Company adopted SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001. The Company recognized the fair value of its derivatives as assets of $2.2 million and liabilities of $1.3 million on its consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2001. These amounts were recorded as a cumulative effect of an accounting change as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity through other comprehensive income. There was no impact on net income. In addition, a deferred gain of $3.2 million on unwound interest rate swap agreements presented as other long-term liabilities at December 31, 2000, was reclassified to accumulated other comprehensive income and will be recognized into earnings over the hedged term of the debt.
The Company only used derivatives for hedging purposes. The following summarizes the Company’s risk strategies with respect to market risk from foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates and the effect of these strategies on the Company’s financial statements. The Company has a foreign currency cash flow hedging program to protect against the increase in cost of certain forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from voyage, vessel operating, drydocking and general and administrative expenditures that have been forecasted to occur over the next three years. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted expenditures denominated in foreign currencies with forward contracts. As at March 31, 2001, the Company was committed to foreign exchange contracts for the forward purchase of approximately Japanese Yen 100.0 million, Singapore Dollars 11.6 million, Norwegian Kroner 137.7 million, Canadian Dollars 46.2 million and Euros 5.4 million for U.S. Dollars, at an average rate of Japanese Yen 119.5 per U.S. Dollar, Singapore Dollar 1.72 per U.S. Dollar, Norwegian Kroner 9.44 per U.S. Dollar, Canadian Dollar 1.54 per U.S. Dollar and Euros 1.09 per U.S. Dollar, respectively.
As at March 31, 2001, the Company was committed to a series of interest rate swap agreements whereby $145.0 million of the Company’s floating rate debt was swapped with fixed rate obligations having a weighted average remaining term of 1.3 years, expiring between December 2001 and May 2004. These agreements effectively change the Company’s interest rate exposure on $145.0 million of debt from a floating LIBOR rate to an average fixed rate of 6.46%. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter parties to the interest rate swap agreements; however, the Company does not anticipate non-performance by any of the counter parties.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, the Company recognized a net loss of $0.5 million relating to the ineffective portion of its foreign currency forward contracts and $0.1 million relating to the ineffective portion of its interest rate swap agreements. The ineffective portion of the foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements are presented as other income (loss) and interest expense, respectively.
As at March 31, 2001, the Company estimates, based on current foreign exchange and interest rates, that it will reclassify $0.1 million of net loss on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next twelve months due to actual voyage, vessel operating, drydocking and general and administrative expenditures and the payment of interest expense associated with the floating-rate debt.

12. Subsequent Events
On April 2, 2001, the Company, through its subsidiary UNS, purchased four shuttle tankers for $95.0 million. The purchase was financed with long-term debt borrowings bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% due April 2006.
On April 25, 2001, a joint venture, which the Company owns a 50% interest, entered into an agreement to sell its three vessels. The vessels are scheduled for delivery between July 15, 2001 and August 30, 2001.
On April 26, 2001, the Company purchased an additional 34% interest in UNS for $75.2 million cash, or at a price of Norwegian Kroner 140 per share, to bring the Company’s total ownership in UNS to approximately 98%. The Company intends to commence a compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares held by minority shareholders, with a view to applying for a delisting of the UNS shares from the Oslo Stock Exchange soon thereafter.

TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MARCH 31, 2001
PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Company is a leading provider of international crude oil and petroleum product transportation services to major oil companies, major oil traders and government agencies worldwide. The Company’s fleet consists of 94 vessels (including four newbuildings, six vessels time-chartered-in, five vessels owned by joint ventures), for a total cargo-carrying capacity of approximately 9.4 million tonnes.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, approximately 62% of the Company’s net voyage revenues were derived from spot voyages. The balance of the Company’s revenue is generated by two other modes of employment: time-charters, whereby vessels are chartered to customers for a fixed period; and contracts of affreightment (“COAs”), whereby the Company carries an agreed quantity of cargo for a customer over a specified trade route within a given period of time. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, approximately 26% of net voyage revenues were generated by time-charters and COAs priced on a spot market basis. In aggregate, approximately 88% of the Company’s net voyage revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2001 were derived from spot voyages or time-charters and COAs priced on a spot market basis, with the remaining 12% being derived from fixed-rate time-charters and COAs. This dependence on the spot market, which is within industry norms, contributes to the volatility of the Company’s revenues, cash flow from operations, and net income.
Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability and asset values resulting from changes in the supply of, and demand for, vessel capacity. In addition, tanker markets have historically exhibited seasonal variations in charter rates. Tanker markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption in the Northern Hemisphere and unpredictable weather patterns that tend to disrupt vessel scheduling.
Acquisition of Ugland Nordic Shipping ASA
As of March 31, 2001, the Company had purchased approximately a 64% interest in Ugland Nordic Shipping ASA (“UNS”) (nine percent of which was purchased in 2000) for $143.9 million cash (including estimated transaction expenses of $7.0 million), or at an average price of Norwegian Kroner 134 per share. On April 26, 2001, the Company purchased an additional 34% interest in UNS for $75.2 million cash, or at a price of Norwegian Kroner 140 per share, to bring the Company’s total ownership in UNS to approximately 98%. Shares of UNS are currently listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The Company intends to commence compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares held by minority shareholders, with a view to applying for a delisting of the UNS shares from the Oslo Stock Exchange soon thereafter.
UNS is the world’s largest owner of shuttle tankers, controlling a modern fleet of 18 vessels (including four newbuildings) (the “UNS Fleet”) that engage in the transportation of oil from offshore production platforms to refineries. The UNS Fleet has an average age of approximately 9.2 years, excluding the four newbuildings, and operates primarily in the North Sea under fixed-rate long-term contracts. In addition, as of May 1, 2001, UNS owned approximately 16.4% of the publicly traded company Nordic American Tankers Shipping Ltd. (AMEX: NAT), the owner of three Suezmax tankers on a long-term contract to BP Shipping.
For the year ended December 31, 2000, UNS earned net voyage revenues of $69.1 million, resulting in income from vessel operations of $23.8 million and net income of $15.4 million. Such amounts reflect the conversion from Norwegian GAAP to United States GAAP. The operating results of UNS have been reflected in the Company’s financial statements on a 100% basis commencing March 6, 2001, the effective date that the Company acquired a majority interest in UNS. Minority interest expense, which is included as part of other income (loss), has been recorded to reflect the minority shareholders’ share of UNS’ net income for the period from March 6-31, 2001.
Since the majority of UNS’ revenues are derived from fixed-rate long-term contracts, the percentage of the Company’s fleet that will be dependent on the spot tanker market is expected to decline. Giving effect to the acquisition of UNS as if it had occurred on January 1, 2001, the Company would have derived 18% of its proforma net voyage revenues from fixed-rate time-charters and COAs during the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to 12% when excluding UNS.
Results of Operations
Bulk shipping industry freight rates are commonly measured at the net voyage revenue level in terms of “time- charter equivalent” (or “TCE”) rates, defined as voyage revenues less voyage expenses (excluding commissions), divided by voyage ship-days for the round-trip voyage. Voyage revenues and voyage expenses are a function of the type of charter, either spot charter or time charter, and port, canal and fuel costs depending on the trade route upon which a vessel is sailing, in addition to being a function of the level of shipping freight rates. For this reason, shipowners base economic decisions regarding the deployment of their vessels upon anticipated TCE rates, and industry analysts typically measure bulk shipping freight rates in terms of TCE rates. Therefore, the discussion of revenue below focuses on net voyage revenues and TCE rates.
TCE rates are dependent on oil production levels, oil consumption growth, the number of vessels scrapped, the number of newbuildings delivered and charterers’ preference for modern tankers. As a result of the Company’s dependence on the tanker spot market, any fluctuations in Aframax TCE rates will impact the Company’s revenues and earnings.
Quarter Ended March 31, 2001 versus Quarter Ended March 31, 2000
Average Aframax TCE rates increased significantly in the first quarter of 2001, compared to the first quarter of 2000, due to increased demand for modern tankers, arising from increased oil production and discrimination against older tankers by charterers.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, OPEC cut back oil production in anticipation of the seasonal reduction in crude oil demand, which typically occurs during the second quarter. This caused Aframax TCE rates to decline at the end of the quarter from the high levels experienced during the most recent winter.
The Company’s average fleet size was 1.8% lower in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to the same quarter one year ago, due to the sale of two older tankers in March 2000, partially offset by the acquisition of UNS in March 2001.
Income from Vessel Operations
Net voyage revenues increased 104.2% to $245.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to $120.1 million for the same quarter last year. This is primarily the result of a 112.2% increase in the Company’s average TCE rate to $39,754 in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, from $18,734 in the same quarter last year. Voyage expenses, consisting of bunker fuel expense, port fees, canal tolls and brokerage commissions, remained essentially unchanged in the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same quarter last year.
Vessel operating expenses, which include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores and lubes, and communication expenses, decreased 2.6% to $33.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, from $34.8 million in the same quarter last year, mainly as the result of the reduction in average fleet size.
Time-charter hire expense increased to $17.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, from $13.0 million in the same quarter last year, primarily due to an increase in the average TCE rates earned in the oil/bulk/ore (“O/B/O”) pool, which is managed by the Company. The minority participants’ share of the O/B/O pool’s net voyage revenues, which is reflected as a time-charter hire expense, was $9.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to $5.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The average number of vessels time-chartered-in by the Company, excluding the O/B/Os, was five in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, unchanged from the same quarter last year.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 9.9% to $27.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $25.0 million in the same quarter last year, mainly due to the acquisition of UNS and an increase in drydock amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense included amortization of drydocking costs of $3.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to $2.2 million in the same quarter last year.
General and administrative expenses increased 13.8% to $10.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, from $9.5 million in the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of the payment of senior management bonuses in the first quarter of 2001 and the acquisition of UNS.
Other Items
Interest expense decreased 26.0% to $14.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $20.0 million in the same quarter last year, reflecting lower interest rates and a lower average debt balance due to principal prepayments.
Interest income decreased 13.8 % to $2.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to $3.3 million in the same quarter last year, mainly as a result of lower interest rates.
Other income of $0.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was comprised of a gain on the disposition of marketable securities and equity income from joint ventures, offset by minority interest, foreign exchange loss and income taxes, compared to a loss of $1.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, which was primarily the result of a loss on the disposition of vessels and equipment.
The Company’s net income was $144.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to net income of $19.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2000, due mainly to the improvement in Aframax TCE rates.
The following table illustrates the relationship between fleet size (measured in ship-days), TCE performance, and operating results per calendar ship-day. To facilitate comparison to the prior period’s results, the figures in the table below include or exclude the results from the Company’s four Australian crewed vessels, eight O/B/Os acquired as part of the Bona acquisition and the vessels acquired as part of the UNS acquisition as indicated:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As at March 31, 2001, the Company’s total liquidity, which includes cash, short-term marketable securities and undrawn borrowings, was $435.2 million, up from $339.4 million as at December 31, 2000, mainly as a result of the cash flow from operating activities earned during the current quarter, partially offset by the $97.1 million in cash used to purchase the UNS shares (net of $26.6 million in cash assumed from UNS).
Net cash flow from operating activities increased to $164.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001, from $40.2 million in the same quarter last year, mainly reflecting the increase in TCE rates.
Scheduled debt repayments were $5.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to $0.6 million during the same quarter last year. Debt prepayments during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 totalled $92.1 million, which was used to reduce the Company’s two long-term Revolving Credit Facilities (the “Revolvers”). Debt prepayments during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 totalled $10.0 million.
As at March 31, 2001, the Company’s total debt was $1,108.7 million, compared to $797.5 million as at December 31, 2000. The Company’s Revolvers provided for borrowings of up to $555.8 million as at March 31, 2001, of which $424.8 million was drawn at that date. The amount available under the Revolvers reduces semi-annually with final balloon reductions in 2006 and 2008. The 8.32% First Preferred Ship Mortgage Notes are due February 1, 2008 and are subject to a sinking fund which will retire $45.0 million principal amount of the 8.32% Notes in February 1 of each year, commencing 2004. The Company’s outstanding term loans reduce in quarterly or semi-annual payments with varying maturities through 2009. As of March 31, 2001, the Company’s term loans outstanding totaled $494.6 million. The aggregate annual long-term debt principal repayments required to be made subsequent to March 31, 2001 are $122.4 million in 2001, $90.7 million in 2002, $158.4 million in 2003, $146.1 million in 2004, $146.0 million in 2005 and $445.1 million thereafter to 2009.
Among other matters, the long-term debt agreements generally provide for such items as maintenance of certain vessel market value to loan ratios and minimum consolidated financial covenants, prepayment privileges (in some cases with penalties), and restrictions against the incurrence of new investments by the individual subsidiaries without prior lender consent. The amount of Restricted Payments, as defined, that the Company can make, including dividends and purchases of its own capital stock, was limited as of March 31, 2001, to $380.4 million. Certain of the loan agreements require a minimum level of free cash be maintained. As at March 31, 2001, this amount was $26.0 million.
Funding and treasury activities are conducted within corporate policies to minimize borrowing costs and maximize investment returns while maintaining the safety of the funds and appropriate liquidity for Company purposes. The Company is exposed to market risk from foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates. The Company uses forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps to manage these risks, but does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company manages the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows through its interest rate structure. For the Revolvers, the interest rate structure, is based on LIBOR plus a margin depending on the financial leverage of the Company. Interest payments on the term loans are based on LIBOR plus a margin. As at March 31, 2001, through interest rate swap agreements the Company effectively had changed its interest rate exposure on $145.0 million of debt from a floating LIBOR rate to an average fixed rate of 6.46%. The interest rate swap agreements expire between December 2001 and May 2004.
Cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in U.S. dollars with some balances held in Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, British Pound and Norwegian Kroner. As at March 31, 2001, the Company had $57.1 million in forward foreign currency contracts, which expire between April 2001 and December 2003. See Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Dividends declared during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 were $8.4 million, or 21.5 cents per share.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company incurred capital expenditures for vessels and equipment of $1.4 million. Cash expenditures for drydocking were $2.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2001 compared to $2.5 million over the same period last year.
As at March 31, 2001, UNS was committed to the construction of three newbuilding shuttle tankers, having an aggregate cost of $160.8 million. A joint venture company, 50% owned by UNS, was committed to the construction of one additional newbuilding shuttle tanker, having an aggregate cost of approximately $63.4 million. The newbuilding vessels are scheduled for delivery between May 2001 and September 2003. As of March 31, 2001, there have been payments made towards these commitments of $60.8 million (including $18.9 million made by the 50%-owned joint venture) and long-term financing arrangements exist for $122.3 million (including $44.5 million for the 50%-owned joint venture) of the unpaid cost of these vessels. It is the Company’s intention to finance the remaining unpaid amount of $41.1 million through either additional debt borrowings or surplus cash balances, or a combination thereof. The remaining payments required to be made under these newbuilding contracts are as follows: $67.0 million in 2001, $43.3 million in 2002 and $53.1 million in 2003. Of the $67.0 million due in 2001, $44.5 million will be paid by the 50%-owned joint venture.
The Company has guaranteed its share of the outstanding mortgage debt in three joint venture companies that are 50% owned by the Company. As of March 31, 2001, the Company has guaranteed $92.8 million of such debt, or 50% of the total $185.6 million in outstanding mortgage debt of the joint venture companies.
On April 2, 2001, the Company, through its subsidiary UNS, purchased four shuttle tankers for $95.0 million. The purchase was financed with long-term debt borrowings. On April 25, 2001, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 50% interest, entered into an agreement to sell its three vessels. The vessels are scheduled for delivery between July 15, 2001 and August 30, 2001.
As part of its growth strategy, the Company will continue to consider strategic opportunities, including the acquisition of additional vessels and expansion into new markets. The Company may choose to pursue such opportunities through internal growth, joint ventures, or business acquisitions. The Company intends to finance any future acquisitions through various sources of capital, including internally generated cash flow, existing credit lines, additional debt borrowings, and the issuance of additional shares of capital stock.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates. The Company uses forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps to manage these risks, but does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
The international tanker industry’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Virtually all of the Company’s revenues and most of its operating costs are in U.S. dollars. The Company incurs certain operating expenses, drydocking, and overhead costs in foreign currencies, the most significant of which are Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, British Pound and Norwegian Kroner. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, approximately 28% of vessel and voyage costs, overhead and drydock expenditures were denominated in these currencies. However, the Company has the ability to shift its purchase of goods and services from one country to another and, thus, from one currency to another, on relatively short notice.
The Company enters into forward contracts as a hedge against changes in certain foreign exchange rates. As at March 31, 2001, the Company had $57.1 million in foreign exchange forward contracts that mature as follows: $28.3 million in 2001, $27.0 million in 2002, and $1.8 million in 2003. Changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are either offset against the fair value of assets or liabilities through income, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in income. The ineffective portion of a forward contract’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized into income.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company invests its cash and short-term marketable securities in financial instruments with maturities of less than six months within the parameters of its investment policy and guidelines.
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are either offset against the fair value of assets or liabilities through income, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in income. The ineffective portion of an interest rate swap’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized into income. Premiums and receipts, if any, are recognized as adjustments to interest expense over the lives of the individual contracts.
As at March 31, 2001, the Company was committed to a series of interest rate swap agreements whereby $145.0 million of the Company’s floating rate debt was swapped with fixed rate obligations having a weighted average remaining term of 1.3 years, expiring between December 2001 and May 2004. These arrangements effectively change the Company’s interest rate exposure on $145.0 million of debt from a floating LIBOR rate to an average fixed rate of 6.46%.

- ---------------------------------------- ------------------ ---------------- ------------------ --------------------
Inflation
Although inflation has had a moderate impact on operating, drydocking and corporate overhead expenses, management does not consider inflation to be a significant risk to direct costs in the current and foreseeable economic environment. However, in the event that inflation becomes a significant factor in the world economy, inflationary pressures could result in increased operating and financing costs.
