Cautionary Statement
Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This
press release may contain forward looking statements. These statements are based
upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions, including Frontline management's examination of historical
operating trends. Although Frontline believes that these assumptions were
reasonable when made, because assumptions are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and
are beyond its control, Frontline cannot give assurance that it will achieve or
accomplish these expectations, beliefs or intentions.
Important
factors that, in the Company's view, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those discussed in this presentation include the strength of
world economies and currencies, general market conditions including fluctuations
in charter hire 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 the Company's operating expenses including
bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, 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, and other important factors described from time to time in the
reports filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission.
SIGNATURES

to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has
