                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Exxon Mobil Corporation


In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
income, of cash flows and of changes in Exxon Mobil Corporation net investment
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Exxon
California Refinery, Terminal and Retail Assets Business (as defined in the Sale
and Purchase Agreement between Exxon Mobil Corporation and Valero Refining
Company - California) at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. These financial statements are the responsibility of Exxon
Mobil Corporation's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, Exxon Mobil Corporation
changed its method of accounting for the cost of start-up activities in 1998.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Exxon Mobil Corporation (ExxonMobil) operates a refinery and marketing
         assets in the state of California which are collectively referred to
         herein as the Exxon California Refinery, Terminal and Retail Assets
         Business (the Business). The Business is engaged in the manufacturing,
         purchasing and marketing of petroleum products in the state of
         California. Operating assets primarily consist of: (a) the Benicia
         Refinery, located in the San Francisco Bay area, including a deepwater
         dock, (b) a 20-inch crude pipeline and an adjacent truck terminal for
         regional truck rack sales and (c) Exxon-branded retail assets comprised
         of 80 marketing sites, of which ten are ExxonMobil owned and operated
         and 70 are owned by ExxonMobil and leased to dealers. The retail assets
         owned by ExxonMobil are primarily located in the San Francisco Bay
         area. In addition, there are 260 independently owned and operated,
         Exxon-branded retail assets located throughout California.

         On March 2, 2000, ExxonMobil agreed to sell to Valero Refining Company
         - California (a subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation) these assets
         as a result of Consent Decrees issued by the Federal Trade Commission
         and the state of California, which provided that certain assets be
         divested by ExxonMobil in connection with the merger of Exxon
         Corporation and Mobil Corporation. The anticipated closing date for the
         refinery sale is May 15, 2000 with a secondary close for the remaining
         assets scheduled for June 15, 2000. The accompanying financial
         statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
         proposed sale.

         The accompanying financial statements represent a carve-out financial
         statement presentation of the Business' operations and reflect
         ExxonMobil historical cost basis. The financial statements include
         allocations and estimates of direct and indirect ExxonMobil
         administrative costs attributable to the Business' operations. The
         methods by which such amounts are attributed or allocated are deemed
         reasonable by management. However, these allocations and estimates are
         not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would have
         resulted if the Business had been operated as a separate entity.

2.       SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
         expenses and the disclosure of


                                      -1-
<PAGE>   8


EXXON CALIFORNIA REFINERY, TERMINAL AND RETAIL ASSETS BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from
         these estimates.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenues associated with sales of petroleum products and all other
         items are recorded when title passes to the customer.

         INVENTORIES

         Inventories are carried at lower of current market value or cost. Cost
         of crude oil and refined products inventories is determined under the
         last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Crude oil and product purchases are
         reflected in the income statement at cost. Costs include applicable
         purchase costs and operating expenses but not general and
         administrative expenses or research and development costs. Inventory is
         adjusted for any ExxonMobil consolidated LIFO effect at the end of each
         period. Cost of materials and supplies is determined under the average
         cost method.

         PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

         Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated
         depreciation. Depreciation, based on cost less estimated salvage value
         of the asset, is determined under the straight-line method. When a
         major facility depreciated on an individual basis is sold or otherwise
         disposed of, any gain or loss is reflected in income. Expenditures for
         maintenance and repairs, including those for refinery turnarounds, are
         expensed as incurred.

         Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
         circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be
         recoverable. ExxonMobil estimates undiscounted future cash flows to
         judge the recoverability of carrying amounts.

         ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

         Liabilities for environmental conservation are recorded when it is
         probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be
         reasonably estimated. These liabilities are not reduced by possible
         recoveries from third parties, and projected cash expenditures are not
         discounted.

         INCOME TAXES

         Historically, the Business' results have been included in the
         consolidated federal income tax returns filed by ExxonMobil. The income
         tax provision for each period presented represents the current and
         deferred income taxes that would have resulted if the Business were a
         stand-alone taxable entity filing its own income tax returns.
         Accordingly, the calculation of tax provisions and deferred taxes
         necessarily require certain assumptions, allocations and estimates
         which management believes are


                                      -2-

EXXON CALIFORNIA REFINERY, TERMINAL AND RETAIL ASSETS BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         reasonable to reflect the tax reporting for the Business as a
         stand-alone taxpayer.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The reported amounts of financial instruments such as receivables and
         payables approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

3.       ACCOUNTING CHANGE

         The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of
         Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities", was
         implemented by ExxonMobil in the fourth quarter of 1998, effective as
         of January 1, 1998. This statement requires that costs of start-up
         activities and organizational costs be expensed as incurred. The
         cumulative effect of this accounting change on years prior to 1998
         applicable to the Business was a charge of $2.9 million (net of $2
         million income tax effect).

4.       EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION NET INVESTMENT, ALLOCATIONS AND RELATED-PARTY
         TRANSACTIONS

         For purposes of these carve-out financial statements, payables and
         receivables related to transactions between the Business and
         ExxonMobil, as well as liabilities and refunds related to current
         income taxes, are included as a component of the Exxon Mobil
         Corporation net investment. Such amounts related to current income
         taxes are deemed to have been paid in cash to ExxonMobil in the year in
         which the income taxes were recorded.

         The Business purchased crude oil from ExxonMobil, at transfer prices
         that were intended to reflect market prices, in the amounts of $755
         million, $565 million and $802 million for the years ended December 31,
         1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Business' sales of refined
         products to ExxonMobil for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
         1997, were $8 million, $14 million and $21 million, respectively.

         Throughout the period covered by the financial statements, ExxonMobil
         provided the Business with certain services, including data processing,
         legal, human resources and financial services and certain
         corporate-funded research programs. Charges for these services were
         allocated based on various formulas that incorporate indicators such as
         expenditures, personnel head counts and refinery throughputs. Such
         charges amounted to $21 million, $20 million and $22 million for the
         years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These
         amounts include research and development expenses of $3 million, $2
         million and $2 million, respectively. ExxonMobil uses a

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         centralized cash management system under which cash receipts of the
         Business are remitted to ExxonMobil and cash disbursements of the
         Business are funded by ExxonMobil. No interest has been charged or
         credited on transactions with ExxonMobil.

5.       EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

         ExxonMobil has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering
         substantially all employees of the Business. Benefits under these plans
         are based primarily upon years of service and final earnings. The
         funding policy for all plans provides that payments to the pension
         trusts shall be equal to the minimum funding requirements of the
         Employee Retirement and Income Security Act, plus such additional
         amounts as may be approved.

         ExxonMobil also has defined benefit retiree life and health insurance
         plans covering most of the Business' employees upon their retirement.
         Health benefits are primarily provided through comprehensive hospital,
         surgical and major medical benefit provisions subject to various
         cost-sharing features.

         For the purposes of these carve-out financial statements, the Business
         is considered to be participating in multiemployer benefit plans of
         ExxonMobil.

         For 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Business' allocated share of compensation
         expense related to these plans was approximately $3 million for each of
         the three years.

6.       INCOME TAXES

         Income tax provisions and related assets and liabilities are determined
         on a stand-alone basis (Note 2).

         Income tax provision consists of the following:

         by $115 million and $39 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
         respectively.

11.      CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

         ExxonMobil is the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or
         threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments relating to the
         Business involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations
         relating to the environment. The more significant of these matters are
         discussed below.

         ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         The Business is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws
         and regulations that in the future may require ExxonMobil to take
         action to correct or reduce the effects on the environment of prior
         disposal or release of chemical or petroleum substances, including
         MTBE, by ExxonMobil or other parties. These laws generally provide for
         control of pollutants released into the environment and require
         responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste
         disposal sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance. At December
         31, 1999 and 1998, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $11
         million and $4 million, respectively. Environmental expenses were $11
         million, $5 million and $3 million during the years ended December 31,
         1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and are included in operating
         expenses. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount
         of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties that
         might be imposed.

         For a number of years, the Business has made substantial capital
         expenditures to maintain compliance with various laws relating to the
         environment at existing facilities. The Business anticipates making
         additional such expenditures in the future; however, the exact amounts
         and timing of such expenditures are uncertain because of the continuing
         evolution of specific regulatory requirements.

         UNOCAL PATENT LITIGATION

         ExxonMobil and four other refiners filed a lawsuit against Unocal
         Corporation (UNOCAL) in Los Angeles, California, seeking a
         determination that a UNOCAL patent on certain gasoline compositions
         (commonly referred to as the " '393 patent") is invalid and
         unenforceable. UNOCAL's '393 patent potentially covers a substantial
         portion of the reformulated gasoline compositions required by the CARB
         Phase II regulations that went into effect in March 1996. In 1997, a
         federal court found that the refiners had not proven the '393 patent to
         be invalid or unforceable and, furthermore, found the reasonable
         royalty for infringement to be 5.75 cents per gallon. The case was
         appealed and, in March 2000, the Court of Appeals for the Federal
         Circuit affirmed. In April 2000, ExxonMobil and the other four refiners
         filed a petition for reconsideration and for rehearing en banc

         with the appellate court. The ultimate outcome of the litigation is
         uncertain. ExxonMobil has retained, and will continue to retain, even
         after transfer of the Business to Valero Refining Company - California,
         any and all liability associated with the UNOCAL patent litigation
         arising prior to the date of transfer of the assets. For operations
         subsequent to the transfer of the Business, Valero Refining Company -
         California will be responsible for any UNOCAL patent exposure.

         OTHER MATTERS

         Claims have been made against ExxonMobil relating to the Business in
         other pending lawsuits, the outcome of which is not expected to have a
         materially adverse effect on the Business' operations, cash flows or
         financial position.

12.      RECENTLY ISSUED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released
         Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
         Activities Information." As amended by Statement No. 137 issued in June
         1999, this statement, which must be adopted no later than January 1,
         2001 for calendar-year companies such as the Business, establishes
         accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. The
         statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
         assets or liabilities in the financial statements and measure those
         instruments at fair value, and it defines the accounting for changes in
         the fair value of the derivatives depending on the intended use of the
         derivative. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
         material effect upon the Business' operations or financial condition.

EXXON CALIFORNIA REFINERY, TERMINAL AND RETAIL ASSETS BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Exxon Mobil Corporation (ExxonMobil) operates a refinery and marketing
         assets in the state of California which are collectively referred to
         herein as the Exxon California Refinery, Terminal and Retail Assets
         Business (the Business). The Business is engaged in the manufacturing,
         purchasing and marketing of petroleum products in the state of
         California. Operating assets primarily consist of: (a) the Benicia
         Refinery, located in the San Francisco Bay area, including a deepwater
         dock, (b) a 20-inch crude pipeline and an adjacent truck terminal for
         regional truck rack sales and (c) Exxon-branded retail assets
         comprised of 80 marketing sites, of which ten are ExxonMobil owned and
         operated and 70 are owned by ExxonMobil and leased to dealers. The
         retail assets owned by ExxonMobil are primarily located in the San
         Francisco Bay area. In addition, there are 260 independently owned and
         operated, Exxon-branded retail assets located throughout California.

         On March 2, 2000, ExxonMobil agreed to sell to Valero Refining Company
         - California (a subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation) these assets
         as a result of Consent Decrees issued by the Federal Trade Commission
         and the state of California, which provided that certain assets be
         divested by ExxonMobil in connection with the merger of Exxon
         Corporation and Mobil Corporation. The closing date for the refinery
         sale was May 15, 2000 with a secondary close for the remaining assets
         scheduled for June 15, 2000. The accompanying unaudited financial
         statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
         proposed sale.

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements represent a carve-out
         financial statement presentation of the Business' operations and
         reflect ExxonMobil historical cost basis. The unaudited financial
         statements include allocations and estimates of direct and indirect
         ExxonMobil administrative costs attributable to the Business'
         operations. The methods by which such amounts are attributed or
         allocated are deemed reasonable by management. However, these
         allocations and estimates are not necessarily indicative of the costs
         and expenses that would have resulted if the Business had been
         operated as a separate entity.

         These unaudited financial statements should be read in the context of
         the carve-out financial statements and notes thereto included in
         Valero Energy Corporation's Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the information
         furnished herein reflects all known accruals and adjustments necessary
         for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported herein.
         All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

2.       EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION NET INVESTMENT, ALLOCATIONS AND RELATED-PARTY
         TRANSACTIONS

         For purposes of these unaudited carve-out financial statements,
         payables and receivables related to transactions between the Business
         and ExxonMobil, as well as liabilities and refunds related to current
         income taxes, are included as a component of the Exxon Mobil
         Corporation net investment. Such amounts related to current income
         taxes are deemed to have been paid in cash to ExxonMobil in the year
         in which the income taxes were recorded. ExxonMobil uses a centralized
         cash management system under which cash receipts of the Business are
         remitted to ExxonMobil and cash disbursements of the Business are
         funded by ExxonMobil. No interest has been charged or credited on
         transactions with ExxonMobil.

3.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories consist of the following:

4.       CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

         ExxonMobil is the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or
         threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments relating to
         the Business involving a variety of matters, including laws and
         regulations relating to the environment. The more significant of these
         matters are discussed below.

         ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         The Business is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws
         and regulations that in the future may require ExxonMobil to take
         action to correct or reduce the effects on the environment of prior
         disposal or release of chemical or petroleum substances, including
         MTBE, by ExxonMobil or other parties. These laws generally provide for
         control of pollutants released into the environment and require
         responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste
         disposal sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance. At March
         31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, accrued liabilities for remediation
         totaled $11 million and $11 million, respectively.

         For a number of years, the Business has made substantial capital
         expenditures to maintain compliance with various laws relating to the
         environment at existing facilities. The Business anticipates making
         additional such expenditures in the future; however, the exact amounts
         and timing of such expenditures are uncertain because of the
         continuing evolution of specific regulatory requirements.

         UNOCAL PATENT LITIGATION

         ExxonMobil and four other refiners filed a lawsuit against Unocal
         Corporation (UNOCAL) in Los Angeles, California, seeking a
         determination that a UNOCAL patent on certain gasoline compositions
         (commonly referred to as the " '393 patent") is invalid and
         unenforceable. UNOCAL's '393 patent potentially covers a substantial
         portion of the reformulated gasoline compositions required by the CARB
         Phase II regulations that went into effect in March 1996. In 1997, a
         federal court found that the refiners had not proven the '393 patent
         to be invalid or unforceable and, furthermore, found the reasonable
         royalty for infringement to be 5.75 cents per gallon. The case was
         appealed and, in March 2000, the Court of Appeals for the Federal
         Circuit affirmed. In April 2000, ExxonMobil and the other four
         refiners filed a petition for reconsideration and for rehearing en
         banc with the appellate court. In May 2000, the federal appeals court
         denied this petition. ExxonMobil is currently reviewing its options
         and the ultimate outcome of the litigation is uncertain. ExxonMobil
         has retained, and will continue to retain, even after transfer of the
         Business to Valero Refining Company - California, any and all
         liability associated with the UNOCAL patent litigation arising prior
         to the date of transfer of the assets.

EXXON CALIFORNIA REFINERY, TERMINAL AND RETAIL ASSETS BUSINESS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         For operations subsequent to the transfer of the Business, Valero
         Refining Company - California will be responsible for any UNOCAL
         patent exposure.

         OTHER MATTERS

         Claims have been made against ExxonMobil relating to the Business in
         other pending lawsuits, the outcome of which is not expected to have a
         materially adverse effect on the Business' operations, cash flows or
         financial position.

5.       RECENTLY ISSUED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released
         Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
         Activities Information." As amended by Statement No. 137 issued in
         June 1999, this statement, which must be adopted no later than January
         1, 2001 for calendar-year companies such as the Business, establishes
         accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. The
         statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
         assets or liabilities in the financial statements and measure those
         instruments at fair value, and it defines the accounting for changes
         in the fair value of the derivatives depending on the intended use of
         the derivative. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
         material effect upon the Business' operations or financial condition.
