Preliminary Conclusions and Observations

o     FINA's historic stock performance exhibits some correlation with
      comparables and market benchmarks; however, prior to offer, FINA traded at
      a discount to its comparables.

o     Today, FINA trades more in-line with its comparable peer group

o     FINA's corporate plan involves a higher level of capital expenditures in
      future

      --    Balance sheet can support capex

      --    Volume increases drive future profitability

o     Preliminary analysis indicates that $60 per share is at the low end of a
      value range

      --    Achieveability of corporate plan

      --    Public market comparables

      --    Asset valuation, premier chemical facilities

      --    Parent's ability to pay more

o     Cash v. stock consideration

      --    Uncertain tax-free status of stock deal

      --    Very different business profiles

            --    North America only v. Europe and ROW

            --    Chemical emphasis v. E&P emphasis

      --    In general, analysts are neutral on the outlook for Parent's equity

o     Next steps

      --    Complete remaining segment due diligence

      --    Finalize valuation analysis

      --    Confirm recommendation to Special Committee

Notes

Analysis shows full-year 1997 earnings impact of transaction.
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 3.2% dilutive on a stock basis.

o     FINA's commercial paper rating of F-1 reflects its excellent chemicals
      business position and performance, strengthened credit protection
      measurements, and consistent free cash flow generation. In recent years,
      the company has substantially refocused all operations and upgraded asset
      quality while continuing to lower costs. After completing required
      environmental spending and refinery upgrading, rising capital outlays are
      now focused on growth projects in exploration and production and
      chemicals. FINA now funds itself independently of its parent company,
      PetroFina, having developed access to diverse funding sources.

o     FINA's challenges are to achieve solid profitability in its upstream and
      downstream businesses while maintaining reasonable chemicals margins in
      cyclical downturns. Fitch expects FINA to be able to generate free cash
      flows, even with higher capital expenditures.

Strengths 

      --    Operations upgraded and tightly focused; constant cost reduction

      --    Chemicals operations are world scale and low cost, with strong
            market shares in key products

      --    Consistent free cash flow generation and positive cash flow adequacy
            ratio

      --    Diverse funding sources are in place 

      --    Improving profitability remains the highest corporate priority

Concerns

      --    Commodity price risk exists in all areas of the business

      --    Reserve replacement must be done at competitive costs

      --    New environmental regulations may require additional spending 

      --    Capital expenditures are still highly selective, possibly missing
            growth opportunities
