                            VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION

                UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to
the Orion acquisition as described in Valero's Form 8-K filed on July 15, 2003.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2003 is presented
as if the Orion acquisition had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma
combined statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and the
year ended December 31, 2002 assume that the acquisition occurred on January 1,
2002. The Orion acquisition is being accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, with the purchase price allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values, pending the completion of an
independent appraisal and other evaluations.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with (i) the historical consolidated financial statements of Valero
included in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30,
2003 and its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002,
and (ii) the historical consolidated financial statements of Orion Refining
Corporation included in this Form 8-K/A for the six months ended June 30, 2003
and in Valero's Form 8-K/A filed on August 12, 2003 for the year ended December
31, 2002. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the financial position that would have been obtained
or the financial results that would have occurred if the Orion acquisition had
been consummated on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of
the financial position or financial results in the future. The pro forma
adjustments, as described in the Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial
Statements, are based upon available information and upon certain assumptions
that Valero's management believes are reasonable.

(a)  To reverse the historical cost of the individual assets and liabilities of
     Orion, and the offsetting stockholders' deficit.

(b)  To reflect the allocation of the purchase price, including $3.7 million of
     transaction costs incurred in the acquisition, to the assets acquired and
     liabilities assumed. Valero acquired Orion's refinery assets (consisting of
     a single refinery complex) and the hydrocarbon and warehouse inventories at
     the refinery, and it assumed certain vendor contracts (no liabilities
     related to the vendor contracts that existed as of the acquisition date
     were assumed) and certain environmental and regulatory liabilities. The
     allocation, as reflected below (in millions), is preliminary and is based
     on estimated fair values, pending the completion of an independent
     appraisal and other evaluations.

                       Other                                            (1.0)

                                                                    --------
                           Total Purchase Price                     $  536.6
                                                                    ========
</Table>

     The total purchase price consists of (1) the issuance by Valero of $228.9
     million stated value of mandatory convertible preferred stock (net of $21.1
     million stated value of mandatory convertible preferred stock held in
     escrow pending the satisfaction of possible claims under the purchase
     agreement), and (2) cash of $307.7 million. The mandatory convertible
     preferred stock has been reflected at its stated value of $25 per share
     pending an independent appraisal of its value. Management expects that the
     appraisal will reflect a value that is approximately 10% to 15% lower than
     the stated value, but such amount is not currently known.

     Valero assumed certain environmental and regulatory liabilities including
     certain remediation obligations, site restoration costs and certain
     liabilities relating to soil and groundwater contamination. The amounts
     reflected above for assumed environmental and


     regulatory liabilities are estimates based on preliminary information and
     studies. Management expects that adjustments to the assumed liabilities are
     possible, although such adjustments are not expected to be material.

     Management does not expect to allocate any of the purchase price to
     identifiable intangible assets. Management believes that customer contracts
     have limited value since they are generally short-term in nature, while the
     licenses, intellectual property, etc. that were acquired in connection with
     the Orion refinery generally were either legally restricted from sale or
     transfer or had useful lives similar to the associated assets. The results
     of the pending appraisal, however, may reflect a value for certain
     identifiable intangible assets, but if so, such amounts are not expected to
     be material. Management also does not expect that any goodwill or
     non-amortizable intangible assets will be recognized.

(c)  To reverse historical depreciation expense and record depreciation expense
     over an estimated life of 25 years, 10% salvage value, based on the portion
     of the acquisition cost allocated to property, plant and equipment.

(d)  To reverse historical interest expense incurred and capitalized by Orion,
     as well as interest income earned by Orion.

(e)  To reflect the tax effect, based on statutory rates, of the pro forma
     pre-tax income adjustments related to the Orion acquisition and to adjust
     taxes on Orion's earnings to reflect the effect of Orion's losses on
     Valero's consolidated operations rather than the operations of Orion on a
     stand-alone basis. The statutory rate utilized for the six months ended
     June 30, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002 includes federal taxes
     at 35% and state taxes based on the statutory Louisiana tax rate of 8% plus
     additional state income taxes applicable to certain states that assess
     taxes based on income of the consolidated entity.

(f)  To record dividends on the 2% mandatory convertible preferred stock.

(g)  To reflect the issuance of common stock upon the assumed conversion of the
     mandatory convertible preferred stock as of the beginning of the period
     presented.

(h)  Conversion of the mandatory convertible preferred stock is not assumed
     because the effect would be antidilutive.
