U.S. Midwest Delivered Ammonia Cost Forecast ($US/ton) Source: Fertecon, Blue Johnson, PotashCorp (2013) Attractive Industry Fundamentals – Agro Chemicals 8 World Situation: Growing populations Developing economies Changing dietary habits (from grain to meat) Worldwide grain stock-to-use ratios at historical levels North American Situation: World grain shortages positively impact grain requirements in the U.S. During last 3 years U.S. consumed more grain than it produced. U.S. grain stocks are at historical levels leading to lower current and expected corn prices. Result: High demand for grain expected in 2014 and 2015 despite low corn prices; approximately 90 million acres of corn expected to be planted in 2014/2015. North America is Low Cost Producer of Nitrogen Fertilizers Natural gas is the primary feedstock for anhydrous ammonia and all nitrogen fertilizers. Due to large shale gas reserves, U.S. has relatively low natural gas prices vs. most places worldwide. Natural gas is expected to average approximately $4.00 per MMBtu for the remainder of 2014. |

Outlook 23 Chemical Positive fundamentals remain for the nitrogen fertilizers we produce. Gross margins remain historically strong although lower than 2013. 2013’s improved corn harvest resulted in a higher stock-to-use ratio and lower forward corn prices, however pricing remains at favorable levels for growers. The 2014 planting seasons for both corn and wheat started slowly due to weather conditions, but returned to historical levels. Growth is forecasted for the next few years for the industrial markets we serve. Climate Control Leading indicators point to solid growth over the next three years in commercial and institutional construction, as well as residential housing starts. Rate of recovery in the commercial and institutional sectors is lagging behind the recovery in the general single-family residential construction market. Anticipate an improvement in all the major sectors that we serve, especially lodging, multi-family housing and education. Highest backlog since mid 2008 should translate into improved second half 2014 results vs first half 2014 results. |

Focus on Geothermal Heat Pumps How does a GHP system work? 31 The Earth absorbs approximately 50% of all solar energy and remains at nearly a constant temperature year round (below a few feet deep). A GHP system uses a sealed in-ground heat exchanger (loop) filled with fluid and a GHP unit to exchange energy between the house or building and the earth. In winter, to the GHP where it is converted (compressed) to a higher temperature and sent as warm air into the house or building. In summer, building into the earth. GHP systems work year round, residences and large commercial buildings, providing both conditioned air and domestic hot water (as a “free” by-product). Typical Residential Geothermal System Energy Cost Reduction & Positive Cash Flow – the most energy efficient HVAC technology available – up to 80% more efficient than conventional systems. Residential Energy Usage Conventional System Geothermal System Geothermal Benefits: Fed Tax Credits - 30% residential & 10% business + accelerated depreciation, + state/utility incentives GHP’s are an Alternative form of Renewable Energy Green Refrigerants - non-ozone depleting “Free” Domestic Hot Water Noise Free Operation – no noisy condensing unit Extremely Long Lived loops) in all climates, in both individual the system reverses, transferring heat from the house or fluid in the loop absorbs energy from the earth and carries it vs. conventional systems (50 year |
For a GHP System in a 2,500 sq. ft. new house in St. Louis, MO (typical middle America) Installed Cost of a 4 ton GHP System = $6,000 per ton (12,000 Btu/ton). System Operating Cost Comparison GHP vs. Conventional Systems Note: System installed costs are different throughout the U.S due to varying local conditions and labor costs. Savings vary due to weather conditions, user preferences, and local utility rates. Costs and savings in St. Louis are estimates and subject to change.
