MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

       Net earnings were $45.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995
compared to $28.0 million during the same period last year.  Sales and other
operating revenues were $916.0 million compared to $918.0 million for third
quarter 1994.  Earnings per share were $1.44 compared to $.90 per share for the
third quarter of last year.

         For the nine months of 1995, net earnings were $120.2 million,
compared to $66.3 million for the same period in 1994.  Earnings for 1994
included $16 million after-tax inventory gains related to crude and product
price improvement from the end of 1993.  However, the gain was largely offset
by accruals for various contingencies, including a provision of $9.2 million
for future environmental remediation projects.  Sales and other operating
revenues for the first nine months of 1995 were $2.7 billion compared to $2.5
billion in the first nine months of 1994.

       Upstream - Earnings in the third quarter were below third quarter last
year because of lower natural gas prices and reduced production volumes due to
sales of nonstrategic assets.  Geographic consolidation contributed to
operating cost reductions.  Increased exploration drilling continues on the
Company's promising prospects.  Through the first nine months, earnings were
below the same period last year due to lower natural gas prices, lower oil
volumes and higher dry hole and seismic costs, only partially offset by higher
oil prices, lower production expenses and higher natural gas marketing
earnings.

       Downstream - Third quarter downstream earnings were below the same
period last year.  Excellent operations, including record throughput at the
Port Arthur, Texas, Refinery, partially offset poor Gulf Coast fuels refining
margins in the third quarter.  For the nine months, earnings were below the
same period of last year primarily due to 1994 inventory gains, lower current 
year refining margins, and higher maintenance costs which were only partially 
offset by better operations.

       Chemicals - Chemical earnings were up from 1994.  For the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995 compared to the same periods in 1994,
lower sales volumes due primarily to supply limitations caused mainly by low 
inventories were more than offset by improved margins.  Construction of the
expansions at the La Porte, Texas, polypropylene plant and the Carville,
Louisiana, polystyrene plant continued in the third quarter.  The La Porte
expansion, which will make it the largest single site polypropylene plant in
the world, will be completed during the fourth quarter.  At Carville,
construction is projected to be completed in the second quarter of 1996, which
will make it the largest single site polystyrene plant in the world.  The
styrene monomer plant located at Carville, Louisiana, already the largest in
the world, is also being expanded in the fourth quarter.

       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in March 1995.  The Company
is required to adopt the Statement no later than the first quarter of 1996.
The Company is currently assessing the effects of the provisions of Statement
No. 121 which is expected to result in an impairment of the Company's oil and
gas properties.

       The Company's regular quarterly dividend of $.60 per share was paid on
September 18, 1995 to shareholders of record on September 6, 1995.

         The Board of Directors declared the Company's regular quarterly
dividend of $.60 per share which will be paid on December 13, 1995 to
shareholders of record on December 1, 1995.

                         FINA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
                                 (UNAUDITED)


(1)    The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the
       opinion of management,  necessary to a fair presentation of the results
       of the interim periods presented.

(2)    Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of
       oustanding shares. Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options are
       excluded from the computation since their effect is insignificant.  The
       Company declared a two-for-one stock split with record date of May 2,
       1995, at close of business.  The par value is 50 cents per share of both
       Class A and Class B stock.  Share and per share amounts in the
       accompanying financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to
       reflect the stock split.  The weighted average number of outstanding
       shares was 31,202,172 and 31,188,604 for the three months ended September
       30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The weighted average number of
       outstanding shares was 31,195,051 and 31,187,644 for the nine months
       ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

(3)    The Company is contingently liable under pending lawsuits and other
       claims, some of which involve substantial sums.  Considering certain
       liabilities which have been set up for the lawsuits and claims, and the
       difficulty in determining the ultimate liability in some of these
       matters, internal counsel is of the opinion that the amounts, if any,
       which ultimately might be due in connection with such lawsuits and claims
       would not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's      
       consolidated financial condition.

(4)    Earnings for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1994 include $16
       million after-tax inventory gains related to crude and product price
       improvement since the end of 1993.  The earnings effect of the gain was
       largely offset by accruals for various contingencies.  Accruals include a
       provision of $9.2 million for future environmental remediation projects.

(5)    The notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 20 through 32
       of the Company's 1994 Form 10-K are an integral part of these
       consolidated financial statements.
