      day prior to the PetroFina announcement.

(b)   Based on closing share price as of December 11, 1997 ($64.38).

(c)   Assumes underlying ADR price of $39.00, volatility of 24% and 5.69%

(d)   Based on domestic integrated common stock comparison multiples. The
      valuation range extends from low to high multiple for each valuation
      parameter.

(e)   Calculated with public market multiples weighted by earnings/cash flows
      from E&P, R&M and chemical segments. The valuation range extends from low
      to high multiple for each valuation parameter.

(f)   Low end of range reflects the present value, at an 11.0% discount rate, of
      FINA's projected free cash flows for the period 1997-1999 and 14.0% for
      the period 2000-2001. Cash flows and terminal value based on a multiple of
      5.5x LTM DCF. High end of range reflects the present value of the same
      cash flows and terminal value assumption discounted at rates of 9.0% and
      12.0%, respectively, adjusted by net impact of Steam Cracker investment
      over 1997-2015 period, using same assumptions (approximately $4.00 to
      $6.00 per share).

(g)   Low end of range represents the present value, at a 12.0% discount rate,
      of FINA's projected year 2000 and 2001 share prices based on a multiple of
      9.0x LTM net income. High end of range reflects the present value, at a
      12.0% discount rate, of FINA's projected year 2000 and 2001 share prices
      based on a multiple of 11.0x LTM net income.

(h)   Low end of range represents the price at which there is no dilution to
      PetroFina's 1998E EPS assuming no synergies and a goodwill amortization
      period of 5 years. High end of range reflects the price at which there is
      no dilution to PetroFina's 1998E EPS assuming no synergies and a goodwill
      amortization period of 20 years.

Notes
- ----------
PetroFina estimates based on median IBES estimates. FINA estimates based on
management projections.
Analysis assumes 20 year amortization period. If the amortization period was
reduced to five years, a transaction at $65.00 per share would be 2.2% dilutive
to 1997 earnings on a cash basis, and 3.3% dilutive on a stock basis.
