FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Matters discussed in this press release
may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for
forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to
provide prospective information about their business. Forward-
looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives,
goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying
assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements
of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in
connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe,"
"anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan,"
"potential," "will," "may," "should," "expect," "pending" and
similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon
various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions, including without limitation, our management's
examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our
records and other data available from third parties. Although we
believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because
these assumptions are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible
to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we
will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or
projections. We undertake no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. Important factors that, in our view,
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of
world economies and currencies, general market conditions,
including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes
in demand in the tanker market, as a result of changes in OPEC's
petroleum production levels and world wide oil consumption and
storage, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker
prices, drydocking and insurance costs, the market for our vessels,
availability of financing and refinancing, changes in governmental
rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities,
potential liability from pending or future litigation, general
domestic and international political conditions, potential
disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events,
vessels breakdowns and instances of off-hires and other important
factors described from time to time in the reports filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
prospectus and related prospectus supplement and our Annual Report
