The Board of Directors of Total, led by Chairman Thierry Desmarest, met on
November 4, 2008 and reviewed the third quarter 2008 accounts.
Adjusted net income rose to 4,070 million euros (MEUR ), an increase of 35%
compared to the third quarter 2007 and 9% compared to the second quarter 2008.
Commenting on the results, CEO Christophe de Margerie said :
« After reaching close to 150 dollars per barrel in July, the price of Brent
suffered a severe correction and settled to an average price for the quarter of
115 dollars per barrel. The decrease in the price of oil accelerated in the
month of October, mainly due to concerns about the global economy. Refining
margins in Europe hit high levels and petrochemical margins recovered,
benefiting from the decrease in the price of naphtha during the quarter. At the
same time, the dollar appreciated relative to the euro.
In this very high price environment, Total's adjusted fully-diluted earnings per
share expressed in dollars increased by 50% compared to the third quarter 2007
and 6% compared to the previous quarter. Cash flow expressed in dollars
increased by 126% and the net-debt-to-equity ratio was reduced to 15%.
Profitability of the business segments was 29.5%.
This performance demonstrates once again the quality of Total's integrated
portfolio. This quarter the Upstream benefited from high oil and gas prices.
However, the contribution of new production from Jura in the North Sea and Moho
Bilondo in Congo were unable to offset the price effect, the impacts of
technical problems in Libya and in the North Sea, production outages related to
additional security problems in Nigeria, and the normal decline on producing
fields. Downstream and Chemicals also benefited from a favorable environment
despite a decrease in demand linked to global economic conditions and continued
to implement self-help programs.
The 14% increase in the 2008 interim dividend announced at the beginning of
September demonstrates the confidence of the Group in its strategy. Total
confirms its ability to pursue a policy of competitive dividend growth even in a
less favorable environment.
For the future, the Group can rely on its strong balance sheet, a cost base that
is among the lowest in the industry and its strict management discipline. The
many strengths of Total allow it to pursue its strategy for growth and to
continue to create value for all of its stakeholders. »

compared to the second quarter 2008.
The decrease in income from equity affiliates in the third quarter 2008 compared
to the third quarter 2007 was mainly due to losses incurred through Total's
participation in Wepec, its affiliate for refining in China.
The ROACE(20) for the Downstream segment for the twelve months ended September
30, 2008 was 19.5%. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 it was 16.0% and

Petrochemical margins rebounded in the third quarter 2008, benefiting from a
decrease in the price of naphtha over the quarter. Sales volumes for polymers,
however, continued to reflect weaker demand in the Atlantic Basin.
In the third quarter 2008, sales for the Chemicals segment were 5,431 MEUR .
Adjusted net operating income for the Chemicals segment was 263 MEUR , an
increase of 6% compared to the third quarter 2007.
The increase in the results for Base chemicals was primarily due to the
increasing contribution from production based on ethane feedstock.
The results of the Specialties continued to be satisfactory despite a slowdown
in the economic environment.
The ROACE(21) for the Chemicals segment for the twelve months ended September
30, 2008 was 7.5%. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2008, it was 7.7% and
for the full year 2007 it was 12.1%.
-- Summary and outlook
The ROACE(22) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008 was 27% for the
Group and 29% for the business segments compared respectively to 25% and 29% for
the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 and 24% and 27% for the full year 2007.
Return on equity for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008 was 31%.
Total will pay the 2008 interim dividend of 1.14 EUR per share(23) on November
19, 2008(24), an increase of 14% compared to the 2007 interim dividend.
Implementation of the 2008 investment program of 19 B$(25) is progressing as
planned.
The Group continued to strengthen its balance sheet by reducing its
net-debt-to-equity ratio to 15.4% at the end of September 2008. In parallel,
Total is maintaining a high level of liquidity and pursuing a policy of
progressively divesting non-strategic holdings.
Since the start of the fourth quarter 2008, the Brent oil price has fallen to
around 60 $/b. European refining margins have pulled well back from the
September highs but remain near the level of the third quarter average.
Major project developments are progressing generally in line with targets. Five
significant new projects are expected to start production in 2009, including
Akpo in Nigeria, Yemen LNG and Qatargas II.
Total reaffirms its view of higher oil prices in the medium to long term,
supported by a tight supply-demand balance. In the short term, OPEC action and
certain issues affecting oil production in a number of producing countries
should allow supply and demand to remain in balance, largely as a function of
adjusting the supply to weaker levels of demand.
The Group's strength is in the consistency of its long-term strategy, its
discipline, the quality of its integrated portfolio and the competitive
advantage of its low technical costs.
Total has the financial strength and flexibility to continue to develop the
company within the framework of its strict decision criteria and to maintain
competitive dividend growth even through a prolonged period of weakness in the
environment.

-- Board reviews October 6, 2008 AFEP-MEDEF recommendations
At its meeting on November 4, 2008, the Board of Directors reviewed the
recommendations, dated October 6, 2008, of the AFEP-MEDEF regarding compensation
for executive directors of listed companies.
The Board concluded that these recommendations were consistent with the
corporate governance principles of Total.
The Board then decided that, starting with the current fiscal year, the
AFEP-MEDEF code, modified to take into account these recommendations, will be
the basis for the preparation of the report required by Article L. 225-37 of the
French Commercial Code.
The September 30, 2008 notes to the condensed consolidated accounts are
available on the Total web site (www.total.com). This document may contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results
of operations, business, strategy and plans of Total. Such statements are based
on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate, and are
subject to a number of risk factors, including currency fluctuations, the price
of petroleum products, the ability to realize cost reductions and operating
efficiencies without unduly disrupting business operations, environmental
regulatory considerations and general economic and business conditions. Total
does not assume any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further
information on factors which could affect the company's financial results is
provided in documents filed by the Group and its affiliates with the French
Autorité des Marchés Financiers and the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Business segment information is presented in accordance with the Group internal
reporting system used by the Chief operating decision maker to measure
performance and allocate resources internally. Due to their particular nature or
significance, certain transactions qualified as 'special items' are excluded
from the business segment figures. In general, special items relate to
transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. However, in certain
instances, certain transactions such as restructuring costs or assets disposals,
which are not considered to be representative of normal course of business, may
be qualified as special items although they may have occurred within prior years
or are likely to recur within following years.
The adjusted results of the Downstream and Chemical segments are also presented
according to the replacement cost method. This method is used to assess the
segments' performance and ensure the comparability of the segments' results with
those of its competitors, mainly North American.
In the replacement cost method, which approximates the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out)
method, the variation of inventory values in the income statement is determined
by the average price of the period rather than the historical value. The
inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results according to
FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and replacement cost.
In this framework, performance measures such as adjusted operating income,
adjusted net operating income and adjusted net income are defined as incomes
using replacement cost, adjusted for special items and excluding Total's equity
share of the amortization of intangibles related to the Sanofi-Aventis merger.
They are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance and the
comparison of income between periods.
Dollar amounts presented herein represent euro amounts converted at the average
euro-dollar exchange rate for the applicable period and are not the result of
financial statements prepared in dollars.

Petrochemical margins rebounded in the third quarter 2008, benefiting from a
decrease in the price of naphtha over the quarter. Sales volumes for polymers,
however, continued to reflect weaker demand in the Atlantic Basin.
In the third quarter 2008, sales for the Chemicals segment were 5,431 MEUR .
Adjusted net operating income for the Chemicals segment was 263 MEUR , an
increase of 6% compared to the third quarter 2007.
The increase in the results for Base chemicals was primarily due to the
increasing contribution from production based on ethane feedstock.
The results of the Specialties continued to be satisfactory despite a slowdown
in the economic environment.
The ROACE(21) for the Chemicals segment for the twelve months ended September
30, 2008 was 7.5%. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2008, it was 7.7% and
for the full year 2007 it was 12.1%.
-- Summary and outlook
The ROACE(22) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008 was 27% for the
Group and 29% for the business segments compared respectively to 25% and 29% for
the twelve months ended June 30, 2008 and 24% and 27% for the full year 2007.
Return on equity for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008 was 31%.
Total will pay the 2008 interim dividend of 1.14 EUR per share(23) on November
19, 2008(24), an increase of 14% compared to the 2007 interim dividend.
Implementation of the 2008 investment program of 19 B$(25) is progressing as
planned.
The Group continued to strengthen its balance sheet by reducing its
net-debt-to-equity ratio to 15.4% at the end of September 2008. In parallel,
Total is maintaining a high level of liquidity and pursuing a policy of
progressively divesting non-strategic holdings.
Since the start of the fourth quarter 2008, the Brent oil price has fallen to
around 60 $/b. European refining margins have pulled well back from the
September highs but remain near the level of the third quarter average.
Major project developments are progressing generally in line with targets. Five
significant new projects are expected to start production in 2009, including
Akpo in Nigeria, Yemen LNG and Qatargas II.
Total reaffirms its view of higher oil prices in the medium to long term,
supported by a tight supply-demand balance. In the short term, OPEC action and
certain issues affecting oil production in a number of producing countries
should allow supply and demand to remain in balance, largely as a function of
adjusting the supply to weaker levels of demand.
The Group's strength is in the consistency of its long-term strategy, its
discipline, the quality of its integrated portfolio and the competitive
advantage of its low technical costs.
Total has the financial strength and flexibility to continue to develop the
company within the framework of its strict decision criteria and to maintain
competitive dividend growth even through a prolonged period of weakness in the
environment.

-- Board reviews October 6, 2008 AFEP-MEDEF recommendations
At its meeting on November 4, 2008, the Board of Directors reviewed the
recommendations, dated October 6, 2008, of the AFEP-MEDEF regarding compensation
for executive directors of listed companies.
The Board concluded that these recommendations were consistent with the
corporate governance principles of Total.
The Board then decided that, starting with the current fiscal year, the
AFEP-MEDEF code, modified to take into account these recommendations, will be
the basis for the preparation of the report required by Article L. 225-37 of the
French Commercial Code.
The September 30, 2008 notes to the condensed consolidated accounts are
available on the Total web site (www.total.com). This document may contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results
of operations, business, strategy and plans of Total. Such statements are based
on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate, and are
subject to a number of risk factors, including currency fluctuations, the price
of petroleum products, the ability to realize cost reductions and operating
efficiencies without unduly disrupting business operations, environmental
regulatory considerations and general economic and business conditions. Total
does not assume any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further
information on factors which could affect the company's financial results is
provided in documents filed by the Group and its affiliates with the French
Autorité des Marchés Financiers and the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Business segment information is presented in accordance with the Group internal
reporting system used by the Chief operating decision maker to measure
performance and allocate resources internally. Due to their particular nature or
significance, certain transactions qualified as 'special items' are excluded
from the business segment figures. In general, special items relate to
transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. However, in certain
instances, certain transactions such as restructuring costs or assets disposals,
which are not considered to be representative of normal course of business, may
be qualified as special items although they may have occurred within prior years
or are likely to recur within following years.
The adjusted results of the Downstream and Chemical segments are also presented
according to the replacement cost method. This method is used to assess the
segments' performance and ensure the comparability of the segments' results with
those of its competitors, mainly North American.
In the replacement cost method, which approximates the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out)
method, the variation of inventory values in the income statement is determined
by the average price of the period rather than the historical value. The
inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results according to
FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and replacement cost.
In this framework, performance measures such as adjusted operating income,
adjusted net operating income and adjusted net income are defined as incomes
using replacement cost, adjusted for special items and excluding Total's equity
share of the amortization of intangibles related to the Sanofi-Aventis merger.
They are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance and the
comparison of income between periods.
Dollar amounts presented herein represent euro amounts converted at the average
euro-dollar exchange rate for the applicable period and are not the result of
financial statements prepared in dollars.
