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 fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. 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 and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year. Certain of the prior period comparative figures have been reclassified where necessary to conform with the presentation used in the current period. 2. Cash Flows Cash interest paid during the three-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 totalled approximately $11,626,000 and $6,757,000, respectively. 3. Income Taxes The legal jurisdictions of the countries in which the Company and its subsidiaries are incorporated do not impose income taxes upon shipping-related activities. 4.

As at June 30, 1997, the fair value of these net assets approximated $278 million. 6 7 TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars) (Information as at June 30, 1997, and for the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is unaudited) 4. Long-Term Debt (cont'd) The 9 5/8% First Preferred Ship Mortgage Notes due July 15, 2003 (the "9 5/8% Notes") are collateralized by first preferred mortgages on six of the Company's Aframax tankers, together with certain other related collateral, and are guaranteed by six subsidiaries of Teekay that own the mortgaged vessels (the "9 5/8% Notes Guarantor Subsidiaries") to a maximum of 95% of the fair value of their net assets. As at June 30, 1997, the fair value of these net assets approximated $191 million. Condensed financial information regarding the Company, the 9 5/8% Notes Guarantor Subsidiaries, the 8.32% Notes Guarantor Subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Company is set out in Schedule A of these consolidated financial statements. The Company also has an undrawn long-term Revolving Credit Facility available which, as at June 30, 1997, provided for borrowings of up to $134.2 million on a revolving credit basis. As at June 30, 1997, the Company was committed to a series of interest rate swap agreements whereby $150 million of the Company's floating rate debt was swapped with fixed rate obligations having an average remaining term of 16.5 months. The swap agreements expire between October 1998 and December 1998. These arrangements effectively change the Company's interest rate exposure on $150 million of debt from a floating LIBOR rate to an average fixed rate of 5.85%. 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. 5.

As at June 30, 1997, options to purchase a total of 1,352,332 shares of the Company's Common Stock were outstanding, of which 540,238 options were then exercisable at prices ranging from $21.50 to $27.375 per share. The remaining outstanding options have exercise prices ranging from $21.50 to $33.50 per share. All outstanding options expire between July 19, 2005 and June 13, 2007, ten years after the date of grant. Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Stock options have not been included in the computation of net income per common share since their effect thereon would not be material. 7 8 TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars) (Information as at June 30, 1997, and for the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is unaudited) 5.

The Company's EPS presentation will be subject to SFAS 128, but the Company does not anticipate the effect on its earnings per share to be material. 6.

The Company's fleet consists of 44 tankers, including 41 Aframax oil tankers and oil/bulk/ore carriers, two smaller tankers, and one VLCC, for a total cargo-carrying capacity of approximately 4.4 million tonnes. Two of the Company's Aframax tankers are time-chartered in to the fleet. Approximately 74% of the Company's net voyage revenue is currently 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 by contracts of affreightment ("COAs"), whereby the Company carries an agreed quantity of cargo for a customer over a specified trade route over a specified period of time. In aggregate, approximately 88% of the Company's net voyage revenue is currently derived from spot voyages or spot market-related COAs and time-charters. This dependence on the spot market, which is within industry norms, contributes to the volatility of the Company's revenue, cash flow from operations, and net income. Management believes that the Company has a competitive advantage over other tanker owners in the Aframax spot market. Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability resulting from changes in the supply of and demand for tankers. Additionally, tanker markets have 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 winter weather patterns which tend to disrupt vessel scheduling. 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 revenue-generating 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 revenue and TCE rates. First Quarter Fiscal 1998 versus First Quarter Fiscal 1997 The Company's net income was $14.0 million, or 49 cents per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, up from $5.4 million, or 19 cents per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, reflecting an improvement in the tanker charter market over the prior year. Income from Vessel Operations The Company's average fleet size increased 3.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1997, due to the acquisition of a 1988-built Aframax tanker in October 1996. 12 13 Net voyage revenues increased 13.4% to $73.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This reflects an improvement in tanker charter market conditions, and to a lesser extent, the increase in fleet size, as the Company's fleet achieved an average TCE rate of $21,214 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, up 11.3% from $19,061 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Vessel operating expenses, which include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores and lubes, and miscellaneous expenses, including communications, increased 1.7% to $18.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $17.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, as a result of an increase in average fleet size, partially offset by a decrease in insurance costs. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 7.5% to $23.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $22.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, reflecting the increase in average fleet size, and a higher than usual number of scheduled drydockings. Depreciation and amortization expense included amortization of drydocking costs of $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. General and administrative expenses rose 8.6% to $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $4.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, mainly as the result of increases in senior management compensation. The following table illustrates the relationship between fleet size (measured in ship-days), TCE per revenue-generating ship-day performance, and operating results per calendar ship-day: First Quarter First Quarter Fiscal 1998 Fiscal 1997 - --------------------------------------------------- ---------------- -------------------- Total calendar ship-days 3,813 3,702 Non-revenue days 252 212 - --------------------------------------------------- ---------------- -------------------- Revenue-generating ship-days (A) 3,561 3,490 - --------------------------------------------------- ---------------- -------------------- Net voyage revenue before commissions (B) $75,543 $66,523 (000's) - --------------------------------------------------- ---------------- -------------------- Time charter equivalent (TCE) (B/A) $21,214 $19,061 =================================================== ================ ==================== Operating results per calendar ship-day: Net voyage revenue $19,370 $17,587 Vessel operating expense 4,799 4,893 General and administrative expense 1,252 1,187 Drydocking expense 857 699 - --------------------------------------------------- ---------------- -------------------- Operating cash flow per calendar ship-day $12,462 $10,808 =================================================== ================ ==================== Interest Expense Interest expense decreased 8.6% to $14.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, from $15.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, reflecting a reduction in the Company's total debt, as well as lower interest rates on some of the Company's long-term debt. 13 14 Liquidity and Capital Resources During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company's total liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents and undrawn long-term lines of credit, increased to $278.1 million as at June 30, 1997 from $258.6 million as at March 31, 1997, as a result of internally generated cash flow. Net cash flow from operating activities rose to $42.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $36.6 million in the same period one year ago, reflecting an improvement in tanker charter market conditions. The Company's scheduled debt repayments were $14.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1998, up from $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, as a result of the resumption of scheduled repayments on a portion of the Company's long-term debt. During fiscal 1997, there were no scheduled repayments of debt outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility, which resulted in a temporary reduction in repayments during that fiscal year. During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company incurred capital expenditures for vessels and equipment of $36.7 million as a result of the delivery of an Aframax tanker newbuilding, the HAMANE SPIRIT, financed through a $35.6 million term bank loan. Expenditures for drydocking were $4.7 million in the quarter compared to $3.0 million over the same period one year ago, reflecting a larger than usual number of scheduled drydockings. Dividend payments during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 were $6.1 million, or 21.5 cents per share, of which $3.4 million was paid in cash and $2.7 million was paid in the form of common shares issued under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan. Forward-Looking Statements This Report on Form 6-K for the quarterly period ended June 30, 1997 contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which reflect management's current views with respect to future events and financial performance, in particular the statements regarding the Company's competitive advantage over other tanker owners in the Aframax spot market and seasonal variations in the tanker market. The following factors are among those that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements and that should be considered in evaluating any such statement: changes in production of or demand for oil and petroleum products, either generally or in particular regions; greater than anticipated levels of tanker newbuilding orders or less than anticipated rates of tanker scrapping; changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall tanker tonnage requirements; unanticipated changes in laws and regulations and the Company's ability to comply with all existing and future laws and regulations; changes in demand for modern, high quality vessels; risks incident to vessel operation, including pollution; whether, as is typical, oil consumption in the northern hemisphere will increase in the fall and winter months and unpredictable weather patterns in the winter months will tend to disrupt vessel scheduling, factors that historically have resulted in increased oil price volatility and increased oil trading activity; and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company may issue additional written or oral forward-looking statements from time to time which are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement contained in this paragraph and in other reports hereafter filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 14 15 TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES JUNE 30, 1997 PART II: OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 - Legal Proceedings None Item 2 - Changes in Securities None Item 3 - Defaults Upon Senior Securities None Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None Item 5 - Other Information As reported in the Company's press release dated July 22, 1997, the Company announced that Anthony Gurnee, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and VP Business Development, has resigned from his position with the Company, and has accepted a position as President of Nedship International, Inc., the New York-based subsidiary of Nedship Bank, effective early September, 1997.
