Note: All estimates based on management's projections from the November plan.
(a) Based on FINA's closing share price of $50.00 as of February 24, 1997, one
    day prior to the PetroFina announcement.
(b) Based on closing share prices as of February 10, 1998 ($59.50).
(c) Assumes underlying ADR price of $35.125, exercise price of $42.25 and
    volatility of 22% ($64.82).
(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.

Note: All estimates based on management's projections from the November plan.

(a)   Based on FINA's closing share price of $50.00 as of February 24, 1997, one
      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%
      interest rate ($66.04).

(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.

Observations on Revised Projections

o     "Goal-oriented" v. "Realistic"
      --    balance sheet constraints

o     Chemicals
      --    volumes relatively unchanged
      --    significant margin pressure in 1998
      --    cyclical downturn longer and more severe than previously anticipated
      --    capital spending modestly lower

o     Exploration & Production
      --    volumes significantly reduced beginning in 1998
      --    net pricing relatively unchanged
      --    capital spending reduced by $230 million over plan period

o     Refining & Marketing
      --    modest increases in throughput
      --    net margins show modest improvement in 1998, decline thereafter
      --    capital spending reduced and delayed until 1999 

o     Steam Cracker Project
      --    over $350 million in capital spending
      --    attractive investment justified by conservative economics

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 2.1%
dilutive to 1997 earnings on a cash basis, and 3.2% dilutive on a stock basis.

Summary FINA Valuation Analysis

1.   $60 per share is not an appropriate offer given the stock performance of
     FINA and its comparable companies

     o    PetroFina's offer represents a premium of only 8% to FINA's 52-week
          high pre-announcement and a discount of more than 7% to FINA's current
          share price.

     o    The public market value of the companies in the Morgan Stanley Equity
          Research composite of domestic integrated oil companies has increased
          by over 10% since February 24, 1997, suggesting that FINA's share
          price today would be approximately $55 per share in the absence of
          PetroFina's offer.

2.   Relevant trading multiples support a price well in excess of $60 per share

     o    Morgan Stanley Research analysts cover 7 of the 9 companies chosen by
          Morgan Stanley as comparables for FINA. In valuing these companies,
          Morgan Stanley analysts consistently use P/E and P/DCF multiples, not
          EV/EBITDA multiples.

     o    Using recalculated P/E and P/DCF multiples from the Morgan Stanley
          composite (based on MS Equity Research earnings estimates, where
          available), FINA's value ranges from $70 to $77 per share.

     o    Even if EV/EBITDA multiples are used, FINA's value exceeds $70 per
          share based on 1997E internal plan numbers and recalculated multiples
          from the Morgan Stanley composite.

3.   Volatile recent performance of the E&P and R&M segments does not justify a
     multiple discount relative to comparables

     o    Although FINA's E&P and R&M businesses have suffered losses in recent
          years, it should be noted that 4 of the 15 companies in the Morgan
          Stanley Equity Research E&P composite also suffered losses in 1995,
          and 2 of the 5 companies in the Morgan Stanley Equity Research R&M
          composite lost money in 1996. In short, the volatile performance of
          FINA's E&P and R&M businesses reflects industry-wide trends.

4.   Precedent minority interest transactions justify a premium greater than 20%

     o    In over a quarter of the minority buyout transactions that have
          occurred since 1990, the final offer price has represented a premium
          of more than 30% to the target's undisturbed trading price.

     o    In transactions with initial offer premiums of more than 20%, the
          final offer premium has averaged 39%. A premium of 39% implies of
          value for FINA of $69 using $50 as the undisturbed price, or $76 using
          $55 as the undisturbed price.

5.   The current PetroFina offer is inconsistent with valuations based on
     discounted cash flow analysis

     o    WACC calculations based on Morgan Stanley composite support a discount
          rate range of 9-11%.

     o    According to Morgan Stanley's own calculations, the median EV/EBITDA
          multiple is 6.0x based the FINA composite and 5.5x based on the Morgan
          Stanley composite. These benchmarks suggest that a terminal multiple
          range of 5.5x to 6.0x EBITDA.

     o    Even if Morgan Stanley's sensitivities are applied to the FINA
          internal plan, values well in excess of $70 per share are achieved
          using an 11% discount rate and a terminal EBITDA multiple of 5.5x.

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.

Mary Anne Sudol

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

                          DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW APPROACH

METHODOLOGY

 -  Standard Disounted Cash Flow (DCF) methodology utilized

    - Assumes Revised Plan performance for 1997-1999; Sensitivity cases applied 
      to Revised Plan

    - 2000-2001 estimates developed by growing 1999 EBIT by 10% annually versus
      Revised Plan growth estimates of 20.1% in 2000 and 21.5% in 2001

    - Discounted 5 years of free cash flows and calculated terminal value based
      on a range of terminal year EBITDA multiples of 5.25-5.75x

    - Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) range of 10-12%, which is 
      developed from comparable WACCs of Commodity Chemicals, R&M, and E&P
      companies

 -  Analyzed sensitivities to Revised Plan to reflect the risks inherent in
    meeting Plan figures

    -  Highly volatile financial performance due to commodity businesses

    -  Historical results have varied significantly from Plan 

    -  Uncontrollable elements of the Plan, which are volatile, have a large 
       part in determining the Company's future performance 
       -  Exploration success in the Upstream business 
       -  Refining margins in the Downstream business 
       -  Margins in the Chemical business

               DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW APPROACH - SENSITIVITY CASES

- -  Sensitivity cases were analyzed to view the impact on profitability of
   various perceived areas of risk to the Plan such as:

   -  Overall EBIT growth of the business
   -  Profitability of the Downstream business (Return on Capital Employed)
   -  Growth rate of Upstream EBIT (success of long-term Exploration
      activities)

- -  Each sensitivity case reflects a discrete change to Revised Plan and is
   based on discount rates of 10-12%


        SENSITIVITY CASE #1
- ----------------------------------------
- -  Overall  1998-2001  EBIT  growth
   of  9.0%  annually   versus  plan
   growth of 21.3%


   -  Approximates median long-term 
      projected growth rate for 
      comparables

        REPRESENTATIVE RANGE
- ----------------------------------------
           $60-63 / Share


     SENSITIVITY CASE #2
- ----------------------------------------
- -  Profitability of Downstream business  
   reduced to 5.0% ROCE annually in   
   1998-2001 versus plan of 6.1% in 1998  
   increasing to 9.9% in 2001


   -  In line with comps median of 5.2% 
      historical ROCE 
   -  Management admitted that achieving 
      Plan in Downstream is a "challenge"

     REPRESENTATIVE RANGE
- ----------------------------------------
        $63-69 / Share


     SENSITIVITY CASE #3

                                TRADING ANALYSIS


*    Fresh trading volume is very thin

     -    Average trading volume as a percentage of total shares is
          significantly lower than that of its peer group
     -    Only 525,000 shares traded in 1996
     -    Minor changes in volume move the stock price

*    Fresh is not followed by the research analyst community

     -    Only 2 analysts from small firms write research on Fresh, compared to
          39 for Phillips Petroleum

*    Fresh's dividend yield is significantly higher than that of its peer group

     -    1996 dividend yield of 5.5% is nearly twice the yield of Phillips
          Petroleum (2.8%) and above the average S&P 500 dividend of 1.9%
     -    High dividend yield on the stock provides price support

                        ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

*    Segment EBIT has been volatile over the last two years with significant
     variance to Plan

*    Downstream has consistently underperformed Plan; Chemicals has met or
     exceeded Plan

*    In depth due diligence is required to assess viability of projected
     earnings growth

*    As a result of the above factors, two projection cases have been prepared:
     -    Management Case - based on Fresh 1997 Corporate Plan
     -    Adjusted Case - based on Management Case with adjustments to reflect
          historical operating performance and past results vs. Plan

     -    Avoid investor expectations should deal be terminated

*    Minimize pricing risk of transaction

     -    Recent favorable news has been moving stock upward on light trading
          volume
     -    More upside than downside in stock given strong dividend yield

*    Maximize negotiating leverage by moving quickly

*    Minimize disruption of Fresh's management and operations
