                          FINA, Inc. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1996
                                  (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. The results of operations for the three and six
    months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
    results for the full fiscal year.

(2) Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of
    outstanding shares. Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options are
    excluded from the computation since their effect is insignificant. The
    weighted average number of outstanding shares was 31,214,372 and 31,192,747
    for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
    weighted average number of outstanding shares was 31,212,143 and 31,191,371
    for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, 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) The Company sold certain accounts receivable with recourse, with balances
    sold of $67,900,000 at June 30, 1996, and $80,000,000 at December 31, 1995.
    The change in the balance of $12,100,000 results in a decrease in the 1996
    cash flows provided by operating activities.

(5) The notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages 19 through 32 of
    the Company's 1995 Form 10-K are an integral part of these consolidated
    financial statements.

(6) Fina Oil and Chemical Company ("FOCC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FINA,
    Inc., is the main operating subsidiary of the Company whose principle lines
    of business include crude oil and natural gas exploration and production;
    petroleum products refining, supply and transportation and marketing; and
    chemicals manufacturing and marketing. Following is summary consolidated
    financial data for FOCC (in thousands).

                                PART I - Item 2

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

     Net earnings were $38,079,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared
to $41,786,000 for the second quarter of 1995. The net earnings decrease in the
second quarter 1996 was largely attributable to lower chemicals and Gulf Coast
refining margins, only partially offset by increased natural gas prices and
higher chemicals sales volumes. Sales and other operating revenues were
$1,047,290,000 for second quarter 1996 compared to $965,352,000 for second
quarter of 1995. The 8%  increase in sales and other operating revenues were
primarily due to higher prices in the Upstream and Downstream and higher
Chemicals volumes. Earnings per share were $1.22 compared to $1.34 per share
for the second quarter of last year.

     For the first six months of 1996,  net earnings were $76,101,000 compared
to $75,276,000 for the same period in 1995.  Increased crude and natural gas
prices  and higher chemicals sales volumes more than offset lower chemicals and
Gulf Coast refining margins. Sales and other operating revenues increased to
$2,012,405,000 during the first six months of 1996 from $1,828,540,000  in the
same period last year, reflecting higher prices in the Upstream and Downstream
and higher Chemicals volumes.  Earnings per share were $2.44 for the first half
of 1996 compared to $2.41 for the first half of 1995.

     The Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend by 17%
beginning in June 1996; i.e. from 60 cents per share to 70 cents per share.
Cash dividends in the first half of 1996 increased to $40,578,000 compared to
$34,311,000 in the first half of 1995.

     Total debt at the end of the first half of 1996 was $675,977,000,
essentially unchanged from year-end 1995, with a debt-to-capital ratio of
35.8%. On June 27, 1996 Fina Oil and Chemical Company, the Company's principal
operating subsidiary, filed on Form S-3 a $150 million debt shelf registration
which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July
8, 1996 and $125 million in debt was issued at  a rate of 6 7/8% for a term of
five years due in 2001.

     Upstream revenues improved to $128,567,000 for second quarter 1996 and to
$269,879,000 for the first six months of 1996 compared to $80,125,000 for
second quarter 1995 and $163,197,000 for the first six months of 1995.
Upstream net earnings before interest and income taxes were  $14,595,000 in
second quarter 1996 compared to a loss of $7,729,000 in second quarter 1995,
and were $33,060,000 for the first half of 1996 compared to a loss of
$11,313,000 for the first half of 1995. Both the second quarter and first half
improvements were due to higher natural gas and crude oil prices, as well as
higher natural gas volumes from increased exploration and production
development drilling programs.  In late June, the Pharr 26 well was completed,
a 100% owned property in Hidalgo County, Texas which is producing approximately
9 million cubic feet per day of gas and 85 barrels of oil per day.  Lifting
costs per barrel of oil equivalent  were reduced  8% compared to last year's
first half.

     Downstream revenues improved to $651,598,000 for second quarter 1996 and
to $1,228,718,000 for the first six months of 1996 compared to $601,188,000 for
second quarter 1995 and $1,109,776,000 for the first six months of 1995.
Downstream net earnings before interest and income taxes were  $4,503,000 in
second quarter 1996 compared to $10,417,000 in second quarter 1995, and were
$3,165,000 for the first half of 1996 compared to $14,407,000 for the first
half of 1995. Downstream reported decreased earnings in the quarter compared to
second quarter 1995 primarily due to lower industry fuels refining margins and
aromatics margins, which are especially important at the Port Arthur Refinery
where the Company is among industry leaders in aromatics production. First half
of 1996 included the impact of  planned maintenance downtimes at the Big
Spring Refinery for a turnaround on the fluid catalytic cracking unit
("FCCU"), the crude unit and the reformer. Simultaneously, a FCCU enhancement
project was installed to improve yields.

     Chemicals revenues were $267,091,000 for second quarter 1996 and were
$513,741,000 for the first six months of 1996 compared to $284,008,000 for
second quarter 1995 and $555,504,000 for the first six months of 1995.
Chemicals net earnings before interest and income taxes were $53,501,000 in
second quarter 1996 compared to $77,934,000 in second quarter 1995, and were
$107,937,000 for the first half of 1996 compared to $145,248,000 for the first
half of 1995.  The reductions reflect a 44% decline in average margins while
sales volumes increased 29% primarily due to expansions and debottleneck
projects in the polypropylene and styrenics businesses.  Revenues were down due
to price decreases which were partially offset by increased sales volumes.  In
mid-June, the Company completed, ahead of schedule and below budget, a 250
million pound crystal polystyrene production line, making the Carville
Polystyrene Plant  the largest polystyrene plant in the world.  At the LaPorte
polypropylene plant, an approximate 500 million pound expansion which
started-up at the end of 1995, made it the largest polypropylene plant in the
world.

     The Company's annual meeting of shareholders was held April 17, 1996. All
members of the Board of Directors were reelected.

     The declared dividend of $.70 per share was paid on June 17, 1996 to
shareholders of record on June 3, 1996.
The next regular dividend is expected to be paid in September 1996.
