EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Consolidated Financial Statements of Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. are prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) and include a note that reconciles the effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements of certain principal differences between Canadian GAAP and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). One of these differences is the income tax consequences of stock-based employee compensation. Under Canadian GAAP, the income tax benefit attributable to stock-based compensation that is deductible in computing taxable income but is not recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements as an expense of any period (the “excess benefit”) is considered to be a permanent difference. Accordingly, such amount is treated as an item that reconciles the statutory income tax rate to the registrant’s effective income tax rate. Under US GAAP, the excess benefit is recognized as additional paid-in capital. During 2005, management determined that this US GAAP treatment had not been applied to stock options granted by the registrant prior to 2003 in the preparation of the registrant’s US GAAP reconciliation included in Note 17 to its Consolidated Financial Statements as at June 30, 2005, and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, included in Item 1 of Part I of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2005 (the “Original Second Quarter 2005 Form 10-Q”).
The registrant hereby amends Item 1 of Part I and Item 6 of Part II of its Original Second Quarter 2005 Form 10-Q. The amendments to Item 1 consist solely of certain changes to the US GAAP reconciliation in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the registrant. Item 6 of the Original Second Quarter 2005 Form 10-Q has been amended to include a computation of per share earnings with restated US GAAP data and currently-dated certificates of the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The remainder of the Original Second Quarter 2005 Form 10-Q is not reproduced in this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Second Quarter Form 10-Q (this “Amendment”), and this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Second Quarter 2005 Form 10-Q or, except as specifically set forth above, modify or update the Original Second Quarter 2005 Form 10-Q.
The registrant has not amended and does not intend to amend any Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, other than the Original Second Quarter 2005 Form 10-Q and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005, for periods affected by the restatement.

1. | Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
With its subsidiaries, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (“PCS”) — together known as “PotashCorp” or “the company” except to the extent the context otherwise requires — forms an integrated fertilizer and related industrial and feed products company. The company’s accounting policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”). These policies are consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) in all material respects except as outlined in Note 17. The accounting policies used in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the 2004 annual consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 2.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PCS and its subsidiaries; however, they do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2004 annual consolidated financial statements. In management’s opinion, the unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly such information. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its principal operating subsidiaries:
— PCS Sales (Canada) Inc.
— PCS Joint Venture, L.P. (“PCS Joint Venture”)
— PCS Sales (USA), Inc.
— PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
— PCS Purified Phosphates
— White Springs Agricultural Chemicals, Inc. (“White Springs”)
— PCS Nitrogen, Inc. (“PCS Nitrogen”)
— PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer, L.P.
— PCS Nitrogen Ohio, L.P.
— PCS Nitrogen Trinidad Limited
— PCS Cassidy Lake Company
— PCS Fosfatos do Brasil Ltda.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Comprehensive Income, Equity, Financial Instruments and Hedges
In January 2005, the CICA issued Section 1530, “Comprehensive Income”, Section 3251, “Equity”, Section 3855, “Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement” and Section 3865, “Hedges”. The new standards increase harmonization with US GAAP and will require the following:
| | |
| • | Financial assets will be classified as either held-to-maturity, held-for-trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity classification will be restricted to fixed maturity instruments that the company intends and is able to hold to maturity and will be accounted for at amortized cost. Held-for-trading instruments will be recorded at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and |
5
| | |
| | losses reported in net income. The remaining financial assets will be classified as available-for-sale. These will be recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in a new category in shareholders’ equity called other comprehensive income (“OCI”). |
|
| • | Derivatives will be classified as held-for-trading unless designated as hedging instruments. All derivatives, including embedded derivatives that must be separately accounted for, will be recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For derivatives that hedge the changes in fair value of an asset or liability, changes in the derivatives’ fair value will be reported in net income and be substantially offset by changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the risk being hedged. For derivatives that hedge variability in cash flows, the effective portion of the changes in the derivatives’ fair value will be initially recognized in OCI and the ineffective portion will be recorded in net income. The amounts temporarily recorded in OCI will subsequently be reclassified to net income in the periods when net income is affected by the variability in the cash flows of the hedged item. |
The guidance will apply for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. Earlier adoption will be permitted only as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The impact of implementing these new standards is not yet determinable as it is highly dependent on fair values, outstanding positions and hedging strategies at the time of adoption.
2. Change in Accounting Policy
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
Effective January 1, 2005, the company adopted revised CICA Accounting Guideline 15 (“AcG-15”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. AcG-15 is harmonized in all material respects with US GAAP and provides guidance for applying consolidation principles to certain entities (defined as VIEs) that are subject to control on a basis other than ownership of voting interests. An entity is a VIE when, by design, one or both of the following conditions exist: (a) total equity investment at risk is insufficient to permit that entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated support from other parties; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack certain essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest. AcG-15 requires consolidation by a business of VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined as the party that has exposure to the majority of the expected losses and/or expected residual returns of the VIE. The adoption of this guideline did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. Other Assets
In June 2005, the company acquired (i) one million additional shares in APC for $18.6; and (ii) 21 million additional shares in ICL for $74.9. As a result of the purchases, the company’s ownership interest in APC and ICL increased to approximately 28 percent and 10 percent, respectively. The company accounts for its investment in APC under the equity method and for ICL under the cost method.

5. Share Capital
On January 25, 2005, the Board of Directors of PCS authorized a share repurchase program of up to 5.5 million common shares (approximately 5 percent of the company’s issued and outstanding common shares) through a normal course issuer bid. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market through February 14, 2006 at prevailing market prices. The timing and amount of purchases, if any, under the program will be dependent upon the availability and alternative uses of capital, market conditions and other factors.
During the second quarter of 2005, the company repurchased for cancellation 2,519,100 common shares under the program, at a net cost of $219.6 and an average price per share of $87.17. The repurchase resulted in a reduction of share capital of $32.8, and the excess net cost over the average book value of the shares of $186.8 has been recorded as a reduction of contributed surplus. Year to date, a total of 3,653,300 shares have been repurchased at a net cost of $317.4 and an average price per share of $86.89, resulting in a reduction of share capital of $47.5 and reduction of contributed surplus of $269.9.
6. Plant Shutdowns — 2003
In June 2003, the company indefinitely shut down its Memphis, Tennessee plant and suspended production of ammonia and nitrogen solutions at its Geismar, Louisiana facilities due to high US natural gas costs and low product margins. The operations have not been restarted. The company determined that all employee positions pertaining to the affected operations would be eliminated and recorded $4.8 in connection with costs of special termination benefits in 2003. No significant payments relating to the terminations remain to be made. Management expects to incur other shutdown-related costs of approximately $12.1 should these nitrogen facilities be dismantled, and nominal annual expenditures for site security and other maintenance costs. The other shutdown-related costs have not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005. Such costs will be recognized and recorded in the period in which they are incurred.
The company also ceased operations at its phosphate feed plant at Kinston, North Carolina in 2003. The Kinston property was sold in 2004 for nominal proceeds.
No additional significant costs were incurred in connection with the plant shutdowns in the first six months of 2005. The following table summarizes, by reportable segment, the total costs incurred to date and the total costs expected to be incurred in connection with the plant shutdowns described above:

7. Provision for PCS Yumbes S.C.M. — 2004
In December 2004, the company concluded the sale of 100 percent of its shares of PCS Yumbes to Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile S.A. (“SQM”). In the second quarter of 2004, the company recorded a writedown of $5.9 for PCS Yumbes, relating primarily to certain mining machinery and equipment that was not to be transferred to SQM under the terms of the agreement. For measurement purposes, fair value was determined in reference to market prices for similar assets. The machinery and equipment was sold in 2005 for nominal proceeds.
8. Income Taxes
The company’s consolidated income tax rate for each of the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 approximates 33 percent (2004 — 33 percent).

Basic net income per share for the quarter is calculated on the weighted average shares issued and outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2005 of 109,636,000 (2004 — 107,046,000). Basic net income per share for the year to date is calculated on the weighted average shares issued and outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of 110,365,000 (2004 — 106,866,000). Diluted net income per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the period. The denominator is: (i) increased by the total of the additional common shares that would have been issued assuming exercise of all stock options with exercise prices at or below the average market price for the period; and (ii) decreased by the number of shares that the company could have repurchased if it had used the assumed proceeds from the exercise of stock options to repurchase them on the open market at the average share price for the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the diluted net income per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were 112,436,000 (2004 — 108,642,000) and for the year to date were 113,406,000 (2004 — 108,230,000).
The company has three reportable business segments: potash, phosphate and nitrogen. These business segments are differentiated by the chemical nutrient contained in the product that each produces. Inter-segment sales are made under terms which approximate market value. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1.

11. | Stock-based Compensation |
The company has three stock option plans. On May 5, 2005, the company’s shareholders approved the 2005 Performance Option Plan under which the company may, after February 28, 2005 and before January 1, 2006, issue up to 1,200,000 common shares pursuant to the exercise of options. Under the plan, the exercise price is the quoted market closing price of the company’s common shares on the last trading day immediately preceding the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is 10 years. Options will vest, if at all, based on achievement of certain corporate performance measures over a three-year period. As of June 30, 2005, options to purchase a total of 1,188,500 common shares have been granted under the plan.

Prior to 2003, the company applied the intrinsic value based method of accounting for its stock option plans. Effective December 15, 2003, the company adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock options prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2003. Since the company’s stock option awards prior to 2003 vest over two years, the compensation cost included in the determination of net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards since the original effective date of CICA Section 3870, “Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments”. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and the related per-share amount if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the company contributed $5.5 to its defined benefit pension plans and $1.9 to its other post-retirement plans. Contributions for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $8.3 to the company’s defined benefit pension plans and $4.2 to its other post-retirement plans. Total 2005 contributions to these and the company’s defined contribution savings plans are not expected to differ significantly from the amounts previously disclosed in the company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The company’s sales of fertilizer can be seasonal. Typically, the second quarter of the year is when fertilizer sales will be highest, due to the North American spring planting season. However, planting conditions and the timing of customer purchases will vary each year and sales can be expected to shift from one quarter to another.
Canpotex
PotashCorp is a shareholder in Canpotex Limited (“Canpotex”), which markets potash offshore. Should any operating losses or other liabilities be incurred by Canpotex, the shareholders have contractually agreed to reimburse Canpotex for such losses or liabilities in proportion to their productive capacity. There were no such operating losses or other liabilities during the first six months of 2005 or 2004.
Mining Risk
In common with other companies in the industry, the company is unable to acquire insurance for underground assets.
Investment in APC
The terms of a shareholders agreement with Jordan Investment Company (“JIC”) provide that, from October 17, 2006 to October 16, 2009, JIC may seek to exercise a put option (the “Put”) to require the company to purchase JIC’s remaining common shares in APC. If the Put were exercised, the company’s purchase price would be calculated in accordance with a specified formula based, in part, on future earnings of APC. The amount, if any, which the company may have to pay for JIC’s remaining common shares if there were to be a valid exercise of the Put is not presently determinable.

In 1998, the company, along with other parties, was notified by the US Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) of potential liability under the US federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) with respect to certain soil and groundwater conditions at a PCS Joint Venture blending facility in Lakeland, Florida and certain adjoining property. In 1999, PCS Joint Venture signed an Administrative Order on Consent with USEPA pursuant to which PCS Joint Venture agreed to conduct a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (“RI/ FS”) of these conditions. PCS Joint Venture and another party are sharing the costs of the RI/ FS. The draft feasibility study has been submitted for review and approval, and selection of a remedy is projected to occur in the second half of 2005. No final determination has yet been made of the nature, timing or cost of remedial action that may be needed, nor to what extent costs incurred may be recoverable from third parties.
In 1994, PCS Joint Venture responded to information requests from the USEPA and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division (“GEPD”) regarding conditions at its Moultrie, Georgia location. PCS Joint Venture believes that the lead-contaminated soil and groundwater found at the site is attributable to former operations at the site prior to PCS Joint Venture’s ownership. In 2005, the GEPD approved a Corrective Action Plan to address environmental conditions at this location. As anticipated, the approved remedy requires some excavation and off-site disposal of impacted soil and installation of groundwater recovery and treatment system. No change to management’s estimate of accrued costs was required as at June 30, 2005 as a result of approval of the remedial action plan.
In 2003, USEPA notified PCS Nitrogen that it considers PCS Nitrogen to be a potentially responsible party with respect to the Columbia Nitrogen site in Charleston, South Carolina. In March 2005, the USEPA released for public comment a range of remedial alternatives and a proposed remedy for this site. PCS Nitrogen will continue to monitor these and other developments with respect to the Columbia Nitrogen site. PCS Nitrogen will also continue to assert to USEPA and others its position that it is not a responsible party and to work to identify former site owners and operators who would be responsible parties with respect to the site. The company is also engaged in ongoing site assessment and/or remediation activities at a number of other facilities and sites. Based on current information, it believes that its future obligations with respect to these facilities and sites will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The breadth of the company’s operations and the global complexity of tax regulations require assessments of uncertainties and judgments in estimating the ultimate taxes the company will pay. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, outcomes of tax litigation and resolution of disputes arising from federal, provincial, state and local tax audits. The resolution of these uncertainties and the associated final taxes may result in adjustments to the company’s tax assets and tax liabilities.
Various other claims and lawsuits are pending against the company in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of such actions at this time, and there exist inherent uncertainties in predicting such outcomes, it is management’s belief that the ultimate resolution of such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In the normal course of operations, the company provides indemnifications that are often standard contractual terms to counterparties in transactions such as purchase and sale contracts, service agreements, director/officer contracts and leasing transactions. These indemnification agreements may require the company to compensate the counterparties for costs incurred as a result of various events, including environmental liabilities and changes in (or in the interpretation of) laws and regulations, or as a result of litigation claims or statutory sanctions that may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction. The terms of these indemnification agreements will vary based upon the contract, the nature of which prevents the company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that it
12
could be required to pay to counterparties. Historically, the company has not made any significant payments under such indemnifications and no amounts have been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees.
The company enters into agreements in the normal course of business that may contain features which meet the definition of a guarantee. Various debt obligations (such as overdrafts, lines of credit with counterparties for derivatives, and back-to-back loan arrangements) and other commitments (such as railcar leases) related to certain subsidiaries have been directly guaranteed by the company under such agreements with third parties. The company would be required to perform on these guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed parties. No material loss is anticipated by reason of such agreements and guarantees. At June 30, 2005, the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments under significant guarantees provided to third parties approximated $214.2, representing the maximum risk of loss if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. At June 30, 2005, no subsidiary balances subject to guarantees were outstanding in connection with the company’s cash management facilities, and the company had no liabilities recorded for other obligations other than subsidiary bank borrowings of approximately $5.9, which are reflected in other long-term debt, and cash margins held of approximately $57.5 to maintain derivatives, which are included in accounts payable and accrued charges.
The company has guaranteed the gypsum stack capping, closure and post-closure obligations of White Springs and PCS Nitrogen, in Florida and Louisiana, respectively, pursuant to the financial assurance regulatory requirements in those states. Costs associated with the retirement of long-lived tangible assets have been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to the extent that a legal liability to retire such assets exists.
The environmental regulations of the Province of Saskatchewan require each potash mine to have decommissioning and reclamation (“D&R”) plans. In 2001, agreement was reached with the provincial government on the financial assurances for the D&R plans to cover an interim period to July 1, 2005. In October 2004, this interim period was extended to July 1, 2006. A government/industry task force has been established to assess decommissioning options for all Saskatchewan potash producers and to produce mutually acceptable revisions to the plan schedules. The company has posted a Cdn $2.0 letter of credit as collateral that will remain in effect until the revised plans are accepted.
During the period, the company entered into various other commercial letters of credit in the normal course of operations.
The company expects that it will be able to satisfy all applicable credit support requirements without disrupting normal business operations.

17. | Reconciliation of Canadian and United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles |
Canadian GAAP varies in certain significant respects from US GAAP. As required by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the effect of these principal differences on the company’s interim consolidated financial statements is described and quantified below. For a complete discussion of US and Canadian GAAP differences, see Note 36 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 in the company’s 2004 Annual Report.
(a) Long-term investments:The company’s investment in ICL is stated at cost. US GAAP requires that this investment be classified as available-for-sale and be stated at market value with the difference between market value and cost reported as a component of OCI.
(b) Property, plant and equipment and goodwill:The net book value of property, plant and equipment and goodwill under Canadian GAAP is higher than under US GAAP, as past provisions for asset impairment under Canadian GAAP were measured based on the undiscounted cash flow from use together with the residual value of the assets. Under US GAAP, they were measured based on fair value, which was lower than the undiscounted cash flow from use together with the residual value of the assets. Fair value for this purpose was determined based on discounted expected future net cash flows.
13
(c) Depreciation and amortization:Depreciation and amortization under Canadian GAAP is higher than under US GAAP, as a result of differences in the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and goodwill under Canadian and US GAAP.
(d) Asset retirement obligations:The company adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, for US GAAP purposes effective January 1, 2003. The equivalent Canadian standard was not adopted until January 1, 2004.
(e) Post-retirement and post-employment benefits:Under Canadian GAAP, when a defined benefit plan gives rise to an accrued benefit asset, a company must recognize a valuation allowance for the excess of the adjusted benefit asset over the expected future benefit to be realized from the plan asset. Changes in the pension valuation allowance are recognized in income. US GAAP does not specifically address pension valuation allowances, and the US regulators have interpreted this to be a difference between Canadian and US GAAP. In light of these developments, a difference between Canadian and US GAAP has been recorded for the effects of recognizing a pension valuation allowance and the changes therein under Canadian GAAP.
The company’s accumulated benefit obligation for its US pension plans exceeds the fair value of plan assets. US GAAP requires the recognition of an additional minimum pension liability in the amount of the excess of the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation over the recorded pension benefits liability. An offsetting intangible asset is recorded equal to the unrecognized prior service costs, with any difference recorded as a reduction of accumulated OCI. No similar requirement exists under Canadian GAAP.
(f) Foreign currency translation adjustment:The company adopted the US dollar as its functional and reporting currency on January 1, 1995. At that time, the consolidated financial statements were translated into US dollars at the December 31, 1994 year-end exchange rate using the translation of convenience method under Canadian GAAP. This translation method was not permitted under US GAAP. US GAAP required the comparative Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow to be translated at applicable weighted-average exchange rates; whereas, the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were permitted to be translated at the December 31, 1994 year-end exchange rate. The use of disparate exchange rates under US GAAP gave rise to a foreign currency translation adjustment. Under US GAAP, this adjustment is reported as a component of accumulated OCI.
(g) Derivative instruments and hedging activities:Under Canadian GAAP, derivatives used for non-trading purposes that do not qualify for hedge accounting are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Derivatives embedded within instruments are generally not separately accounted for except for those related to equity-linked deposit contracts, which are not applicable to the company. Gains and losses on derivative instruments held within an effective hedge relationship are recognized in earnings on the same basis and in the same period as the underlying hedged items. There is no difference in accounting between Canadian and US GAAP in respect of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Unlike Canadian GAAP, however, the company recognizes all of its derivative instruments (whether designated in hedging relationships or not, or embedded within hybrid instruments) at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position for US GAAP purposes. Under US GAAP, the accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. For strategies designated as fair value hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is offset in income against the change in fair value, attributed to the risk being hedged, of the underlying hedged asset, liability or firm commitment. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative is accumulated in OCI until the variability in cash flows being hedged is recognized in earnings in future accounting periods. For both fair value and cash flow hedges, if a derivative instrument is designated as a hedge and meets the criteria for hedge effectiveness, earnings offset is available, but only to the extent that the hedge is effective. Ineffective portions of fair value or cash flow hedges are recorded in earnings in the current period.
(h) Comprehensive income:Comprehensive income is recognized and measured under US GAAP pursuant to SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. This standard defines comprehensive income as all changes in equity other than those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income is comprised of two components, net income and OCI. OCI refers to amounts that are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income because these transactions or events were attributed to changes from non-owner sources. As described in Note 1, Canadian standards relating to comprehensive income are not effective until fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006.
14
(i) Income taxes related to the above adjustments:The income tax adjustment reflects the impact on income taxes of the US GAAP adjustments described above. Accounting for income taxes under Canadian and US GAAP is similar, except that income tax rates of enacted or substantively enacted tax law must be used to calculate future income tax assets and liabilities under Canadian GAAP; whereas only income tax rates of enacted tax law can be used under US GAAP.
(j) Income tax consequences of stock-based employee compensation:Under Canadian GAAP, the income tax benefit attributable to stock-based compensation that is deductible in computing taxable income but is not recorded in the consolidated financial statements as an expense of any period (the “excess benefit”) is considered to be a permanent difference. Accordingly, such amount is treated as an item that reconciles the statutory income tax rate to the company’s effective income tax rate. Under US GAAP, the excess benefit is recognized as additional paid-in capital. During 2005, the company concluded that this US GAAP treatment had not been applied to stock options granted by the company prior to 2003. Consequently, the company has restated its US GAAP reconciliation below. As at December 31, 2004, and for the 12 months then ended, additional paid-in capital has increased by $21.6, retained earnings has decreased by $5.7 and net income has decreased by $15.9. Results for the three and six month periods ended June 30 previously reported, within 2005 and 2004, have decreased as follows:

Supplemental US GAAP Disclosures
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs”, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges, and to require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted. The company is reviewing the guidance to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. To assist in the implementation of the new standard, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, “Share-Based Payment”. While SAB No. 107 addresses a wide range of issues, the largest area of focus is valuation methodologies and the selection of assumptions. Notably, SAB No. 107 lays out simplified methods for developing certain assumptions. In addition to providing the SEC staff’s interpretive guidance on SFAS No. 123(R), SAB No. 107 addresses the interaction of SFAS No. 123(R) with existing SEC guidance (e.g., the interaction with the SEC’s guidance dealing with non-GAAP disclosures). The compliance date for SFAS No. 123(R) has been amended such that the standard will be effective for the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. As of the required effective date, all public entities will apply this standard using a modified version of prospective application. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date, and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. For periods before the required effective date, entities may elect to apply a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods by SFAS No. 123. The company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method and continues to review the standard and related guidance to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FSP FIN 46(R)-5, “Implicit Variable Interests Under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” to address whether a company has an implicit variable interest in a VIE or potential VIE when specific conditions exist. The guidance describes an implicit variable interest as an implied financial interest in an entity that changes with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets exclusive of variable interests. An implicit variable interest acts the same as an explicit variable interest except it involves the absorbing and/or receiving of variability indirectly from the entity (rather than directly). The guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations”. FIN No. 47 clarifies that the term Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation as used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The interpretation is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The company is reviewing the interpretation to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue No. 04-6, “Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred During Production in the Mining Industry”, that stripping costs incurred during production are variable inventory costs that should be attributed to ore produced in that period as a component of inventory and recognized in cost of sales in the same period as related revenue. At its June 2005 meeting, the EITF agreed to clarify that its intention was that inventory produced would only include inventory extracted. The EITF reached a consensus to conform the transition guidance of Issue No. 04-6 to be consistent with SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, to state that entities should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying this consensus as a change to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The consensus will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The company is reviewing the guidance to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements. As a result of Issue No. 04-6, the Emerging Issues Committee in Canada discussed developing an Abstract on the accounting for stripping costs (in particular, whether such costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are a betterment to the mineral resource), and requested that staff develop this view for further discussion at its August 2005 meeting. This proposal is different from what will be required under US GAAP. The company is monitoring the developments and will determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements if and when related Canadian guidance is released.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, which changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 eliminates the requirement to include the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle in the income statement in the period of change. Instead, it requires that changes in accounting principle be retrospectively applied as of the beginning of the first period presented as if that principle had always been used. The cumulative effect of the change is reflected in the carrying value of assets and liabilities as of the first period presented and the offsetting adjustments are recorded to opening retained earnings. Each period presented is adjusted to reflect the period specific effects of applying the change. Although retrospective application is similar to restating prior periods, SFAS No. 154 gives the treatment a new name to differentiate it from restatement for the correction of an error. Under SFAS No. 154, a change in accounting estimate continues to be accounted for in the period of change, and future periods if necessary. A correction of an error continues to be reported by restating prior period financial statements as of the beginning of the first period presented. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted. The standard does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase. The company is reviewing the guidance to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
Available-for-Sale Security
The company’s investment in ICL is classified as available-for-sale. The fair market value of this investment at June 30, 2005 was $408.6 and the unrealized holding gain was $240.8.

Stock-based Compensation
Prior to 2003, the company applied the intrinsic value based method of accounting for its stock option plans under US GAAP. Effective December 15, 2003, the company adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock options prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2003 pursuant to the transitional provisions of SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”. Since the company’s stock option awards prior to 2003 vest over two years, the compensation cost included in the determination of net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards since the original effective date of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share under US GAAP if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges
The company has designated its natural gas derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. The portion of gain or loss on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges that are effective at offsetting changes in the hedged item is reported as a component of accumulated OCI and then is reclassified into cost of goods sold when the product containing the hedged item is sold. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recorded in cost of goods sold in the current period. During the second quarter of 2005, a gain of $14.2 (2004 — $15.3) was recognized in cost of goods sold. On a year-to-date basis, the gain was $22.9 (2004 — $25.8). Of the deferred gains at quarter-end, approximately $52.7 will be reclassified to cost of goods sold within the next 12 months. The fair value of the company’s gas hedging contracts at June 30, 2005 was $168.5 (2004 — $77.1).
Fair Value Hedges
At June 30, 2005, the company had receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swap agreements outstanding with total notional amounts of $nil (2004 — $300.0). The fair value of the swaps outstanding at June 30, 2005 was a liability of $nil (2004 — $12.6).
19
In the third quarter of 2004, the Board of Directors of PCS approved a split of the company’s outstanding common shares on a two-for-one basis in the form of a stock dividend. All comparative share and per-share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
Certain of the prior periods’ figures have been reclassified to conform with the current periods’ presentation.
On July 27, 2005, the company acquired a 9.99 percent interest in the ordinary shares of Sinochem Hong Kong Holdings Limited for cash consideration of $97.1, plus transaction costs. Pursuant to a strategic investment agreement, the company also holds an option to acquire an additional 10.01 percent interest within three years of the acquisition. The price for the shares subject to the option will be determined by the prevailing market price at the time of exercise. Sinochem Hong Kong Holdings Limited, a vertically-integrated fertilizer enterprise in the People’s Republic of China, is a subsidiary of Sinochem Corporation and listed on The Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
