ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Review Report of Independent Accountants

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDER OF CALIFORNIA PETROLEUM TRANSPORT
CORPORATION

We  have  reviewed  the  accompanying  condensed  balance  sheet  of  California
Petroleum  Transport  Corporation as of June 30, 2003, and the related condensed
statements of operations and retained earnings for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the condensed statements of cash flows
for the six  month  periods  ended  June 30,  2003  and  2002.  These  financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review 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 review, we are not aware of any material  modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed financial statements 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  balance  sheet of  California  Petroleum
Transport  Corporation  as at December 31, 2002,  and the related  statements of
operations and retained  earnings,  and cash flows for the year then ended,  not
presented  herein,  and in our report  dated March 28,  2003,  we  expressed  an
unqualified  opinion  on  those  financial  statements.   In  our  opinion,  the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December
31, 2002, is fairly  stated,  in all material  respects,  in relation to balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

California Petroleum Transport Corporation Quarterly report on Form 10-Q Six
month period ended June 30, 2003
Notes to the condensed financial statements (unaudited)

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     California  Petroleum  Transport  Corporation (the "Company" or "California
     Petroleum"),  which is  incorporated  in  Delaware,  is a  special  purpose
     corporation that has been organized  solely for the purpose of issuing,  as
     agent on behalf of CalPetro Tankers  (Bahamas I) Limited,  CalPetro Tankers
     (Bahamas II) Limited,  CalPetro  Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited and CalPetro
     Tankers  (IOM) Limited (each an "Owner" and,  together the  "Owners"),  the
     Serial Mortgage Notes and the Term Mortgage Notes  (together,  "the Notes")
     as full recourse obligations of the Company and loaning the proceeds of the
     sale  of  the  Notes  to  the  Owners  to  facilitate  the  funding  of the
     acquisition  of four  vessels  (the  "Vessels")  by the Owners from Chevron
     Transport  Corporation  (the  "Initial  Charterer").   All  the  shares  of
     California  Petroleum are held by The  California  Trust,  a  Massachusetts
     charitable lead trust formed by JH Holdings,  a Massachusetts  corporation,
     for the benefit of certain charitable institutions in Massachusetts.

     The Owners  have  chartered  the  Vessels to the  Initial  Charterer  under
     bareboat charters that are expected to provide sufficient payments to cover
     the  Owners'  obligations  under the loans from the  Company.  The  Initial
     Charterer  can  terminate  a  charter  at  specified  dates  prior  to  the
     expiration of the charter,  provided it notify the Owner at least 12 months
     prior to such termination and make a Termination  Payment. The Owners' only
     source of funds with respect to the loans from the Company is payments from
     the Initial Charterer,  including Termination  Payments.  The Owners do not
     have any other source of capital for payment of the loans.

     The  Company's  only source of funds with respect to the Notes are payments
     of principal and interest on the loans to the Owners.  The Company does not
     have any other source of capital for payment of the Notes.

     The financial  statements  have been prepared in accordance with accounting
     principles  generally  accepted in the United  States of America  ("GAAP").
     These  statements  reflect  the net  proceeds  from  the  sale of the  Term
     Mortgage  Notes  together  with the net  proceeds  from sale of the  Serial
     Mortgage Notes having been applied by way of long-term  loans to the Owners
     to fund the acquisition of the Vessels from the Initial Charterer.

     Basis of Presentation

     The  accompanying   unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  have  been
     prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
     United States for interim  financial  information and with the instructions
     to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of  Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not
     include all of the information and footnotes  required by GAAP for complete
     financial  statements.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments
     (consisting of normal recurring accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair
     presentation have been included.  The principal accounting policies used in
     the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

     The balance  sheet at December  31, 2002 has been  derived from the audited
     financial  statements  at  that  date  but  does  not  include  all  of the
     information  and  footnotes   required  by  GAAP  for  complete   financial
     statements.

     These financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the audited
     financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes  included in the Company 's
     Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

2.   PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)  Revenue and expense recognition

     Interest receivable on the Serial Loans and on the Term Loans is accrued on
     a daily basis.  Interest  payable on the Serial  Mortgage  Notes and on the
     Term Mortgage Notes is accrued on a daily basis.  The Owners  reimburse the
     Company for general and administrative expenses incurred on their behalf.

(b)  Deferred charges

     Deferred charges represent the  capitalization  of debt issue costs.  These
     costs are amortized over the term of the Notes to which they relate.

(c)  Reporting currency

     The reporting and functional currency is United States dollars.

(d)  Cash and cash equivalents

     For the  purpose  of the  statement  of cash  flows,  all  demand  and time
     deposits and highly liquid,  low risk investments with original  maturities
     of three months or less are considered equivalent to cash.

(e)  Use of estimates

     The  preparation of financial  statements in accordance  with GAAP requires
     the Company to make estimates and  assumptions in determining  the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent  assets and
     liabilities  on the  dates of the  financial  statements  and the  reported
     amounts of revenues  and  expenses  during the  reporting  periods.  Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

3.   SERIAL LOANS

     The  principal  balances of the Serial Loans earn interest at rates ranging
     from 7.57% to 7.62% and mature over a remaining three-year period beginning
     April 1, 2004. The loans are reported net of the related  discounts,  which
     are amortised over the term of the loans.

4.   TERM LOANS

     The  principal  balances of the Term Loans earn interest at a rate of 8.52%
     per annum and are to be repaid over a twelve-year period beginning April 1,
     2004.  The loans  are  reported  net of the  related  discounts,  which are
     amortised over the term of the loans.

5.   SERIAL MORTGAGE NOTES

     The Serial  Mortgage  Notes bear  interest at rates  ranging  from 7.57% to
     7.62% through maturity. The Notes mature over a remaining three-year period
     beginning April 1, 2004. Interest is payable semi-annually.

6.   TERM MORTGAGE NOTES

     The Term  Mortgages  Notes  bear  interest  at a rate of 8.52%  per  annum.
     Principal is  repayable on the Term  Mortgage  Notes in  accordance  with a
     twelve-year  sinking fund schedule  commencing  April 1, 2004.  Interest is
     payable semi-annually.
