(4) In order to make the trading volume on SEAQ international comparable to that on the Paris Stock Exchange, it is customary to divide by two the number of transactions in London to take into account the effect of the intervention of the market makers. The volumes in the table above, however, have not been so divided.
(5) Two ADSs represent one TotalFinaElf share.
(6) Based on the dividend paid by TotalFinaElf for 2000 and 1999 and by Totalfina for 1998.

(8) Translated solely for convenience into dollars at the Noon Buying Rates on the respective payment dates, except for the 2000 dividend, which has been translated at the Noon Buying Rate on December 31, 2000 (US $ 0,9388 per euro). In the US, the dividend, paid to the holders of ADSs, may differ from these figures, depending on the Noon Buying Rate used by the Depositary to convert euros to dollars for purposes of making payments to holders of ADSs and depending on the tax status of the US shareholders, with respect to the withholding tax and the tax credit.
(9) Net dividend / earnings per share excluding non-recurring items.
(10) Share price at year-end / earnings per share excluding non-recurring items.
(11) Gross dividend / share price at year-end.
