	1. Background and Basis of Presentation

	Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP, we, our or us) is a Delaware limited partnership that produces nitrogen fertilizer products. Our principal products are anhydrous ammonia (ammonia) and urea ammonium nitrate solutions (UAN), which we manufacture at our facility in Verdigris, Oklahoma.

	We conduct our operations through an operating partnership, Terra Nitrogen, Limited Partnership (TNLP or the Operating Partnership, and collectively with TNCLP, the Partnership). Terra Nitrogen GP Inc. (TNGP or the General Partner), a Delaware corporation, is the general partner of both TNCLP and TNLP and owns a consolidated 0.05% general partner interest in the Partnership. The General Partner is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (CF Industries), a Delaware corporation. Ownership of TNCLP is comprised of the General Partner interests and the Limited Partner interests. Limited Partner interests consist of common units, which are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "TNH" and Class B common units. As of September 30, 2013, we had 18,501,576 common units and 184,072 Class B common units issued and outstanding. CF Industries through its subsidiaries owned 13,889,014 common units (representing approximately 75% of the total outstanding common units) and all of the Class B common units as of September 30, 2013.

	The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair representation of the information for the periods presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Operating results for any period presented apply to that period only and are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

	The preparation of the unaudited interim financial statements requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and certain financial statement disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include net realizable value of inventories, environmental remediation liabilities, environmental and litigation contingencies, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and the evaluation of impairments of property, plant and equipment.

	Throughout this document, the terms "affiliate of the General Partner" and "affiliates of the General Partner" refer to consolidated subsidiaries of CF Industries, including TNGP.

	In our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012, we have reclassified certain balances related to catalysts used in our manufacturing process which previously had been presented in "Inventories" to "Property, plant and equipment, net" to be consistent with the current year's presentation. The total amount reclassified from "Inventories" as of December 31, 2012 was $11.1 million. As a result of this reclassification, we also have reclassified certain amounts on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, among "Depreciation and amortization" and "Inventories" in operating activities and "Additions to property, plant and equipment, net" in investing activities. The net reclassification between operating and investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.3 million.

	3. New Accounting Standards

	Following are summaries of accounting pronouncements that either were adopted recently or may become applicable to our consolidated financial statements. It should be noted that the accounting standards references provided below reflect the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification, and related Accounting Standards Updates (ASU).

	Recently Adopted Pronouncements

	In December 2011, the FASB issued a standard pertaining to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities (ASU No. 2011-11). This standard requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements, including financial instruments and derivative instruments, and the effect these arrangements have on the entity's financial position. In January 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to ASU No. 2011-11 (ASU No. 2013-01) clarifying that its scope applies to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. These standards are effective for disclosures in interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2013 and its adoption did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

	4. Agreement of Limited Partnership

	We make quarterly distributions to holders of our General Partner interest and Limited Partner interests based on Available Cash for the quarter as defined in our agreement of limited partnership. Available Cash is defined generally as all cash receipts less all cash disbursements, less certain reserves (including reserves for future operating and capital needs) established as the General Partner determines in its reasonable discretion to be necessary or appropriate. Changes in working capital affect Available Cash as changes in the amount of cash invested in working capital items (such as increases in inventory and decreases in accounts payable) reduce Available Cash, while declines in the amount of cash invested in working capital items increase Available Cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we paid partnership distributions of $406.8 million and $422.1 million, respectively.

	We receive 99% of the Available Cash from the Operating Partnership and 1% is distributed to its General Partner. Cash distributions from the Operating Partnership generally represent the Operating Partnership's Available Cash from operations. Our cash distributions are made 99.975% to common and Class B common unitholders and 0.025% to our General Partner except when cumulative distributions of Available Cash exceed specified target levels above the Minimum Quarterly Distributions (MQD) of $0.605 per unit. Under such circumstances, our General Partner is entitled to receive Incentive Distribution Rights.

	On November 4, 2013, we announced a $2.02 cash distribution per common limited partnership unit, payable on November 29, 2013 to holders of record as of November 15, 2013. In the third quarter, we exceeded the cumulative MQD amounts and will distribute Available Cash as summarized in the following table:


		Income and Distribution Allocation
		Target		Target		Common			Class B			General			Total
		Limit		Increment		Units			Common			Partner
									Units
	Minimum Quarterly Distributions	$	0.605	$	0.605		98.99	%		0.985	%		0.025	%		100	%

	Final Target and Beyond		>1.045		—		50.505	%		0.985	%		48.51	%		100	%

	The General Partner is required to remit the majority of cash distributions it receives from the Partnership, in excess of its 1% Partnership equity interest, to an affiliated company.

	At September 30, 2013, the General Partner and its affiliates owned 75.3% of our outstanding units. When not more than 25% of our issued and outstanding units are held by non-affiliates of the General Partner, we, at the General Partner's sole discretion, may call, or assign to the General Partner or its affiliates, our right to acquire all such outstanding units held by non-affiliated persons. If the General Partner elects to acquire all outstanding units, we are required to give at least 30 but not more than 60 days notice of our decision to purchase the outstanding units. The purchase price per unit will be the greater of (1) the average of the previous 20 trading days' closing prices as of the date five days before the purchase is announced or (2) the highest price paid by the General Partner or any of its affiliates for any unit within the 90 days preceding the date the purchase is announced.

	7. Derivative Financial Instruments

	Derivative financial instruments are executed on our behalf by an affiliate of the General Partner to manage the volatility in our natural gas prices. We report derivatives on our consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in cost of sales in the period of change. Cash flows related to natural gas derivatives are reported in operating activities.

	The derivatives we use are primarily natural gas fixed price swaps and call options traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) markets. The derivative contract prices are based on prices at the Henry Hub in Louisiana, the most common and financially liquid location of reference for financial derivatives related to natural gas. However, we purchase natural gas for our manufacturing facility from suppliers whose prices are based primarily on the OneOK index rather than Henry Hub. This creates a location basis differential between the derivative contract price and the physical price of natural gas. Accordingly, the prices underlying the financial derivatives we use may not exactly match the prices of physical gas we consume. The contracts are traded in months forward and settlement dates are scheduled to coincide with anticipated gas purchases during those future periods.

	The gross fair values of derivatives on our balance sheet are shown below. All balance sheet amounts from derivatives arise from natural gas derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. For additional information on derivative fair values, see Note 8—Fair Value Measurements.

	Net derivative gains (losses)		$	(2.1	)	$	1.4		$	(0.2	)	$	(12.6	)


	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had open derivative contracts for 11.3 million MMBtus and 9.9 million MMBtus, respectively, of natural gas. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we used derivatives to cover approximately 90% of our natural gas consumption.

	The counterparties to our derivatives are large financial institutions and large oil and gas companies. The derivatives are executed with several counterparties, generally under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements. The ISDA agreements are master netting arrangements commonly used for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives that mitigate exposure to counterparty credit risk, in part, by creating contractual rights of netting and setoff, the specifics of which vary from agreement to agreement. These rights are described further below:



	•
	Settlement netting generally allows the parties to net, into a single net payable or receivable, ordinary settlement obligations arising under the ISDA agreement on the same day, in the same currency, for the same types of derivative instruments, and through the same pairing of offices.

	•
	Close-out netting rights are provided in the event of a default or other termination event (as defined in the ISDA agreements), including bankruptcy. Depending on the cause of early termination, the non-defaulting party may elect to accelerate and terminate all or some transactions outstanding under the ISDA agreement. The values of all terminated transactions and certain other payments under the ISDA agreement are netted, resulting in a single net close-out amount payable to or by the non-defaulting party. Termination values may be determined using a mark-to-market approach or based on a party's good faith estimate of its loss. If the final net close-out amount is payable by the non-defaulting party, that party's obligation to make the payment may be conditioned on factors such as the termination of all derivative transactions between the parties or payment in full of all of the defaulting party's obligations to the non-defaulting party, in each case regardless of whether arising under the ISDA agreement or otherwise.

	•
	Setoff rights are provided by certain of the ISDA agreements and generally allow a non-defaulting party to elect to setoff, against the final net close-out payment, other matured and contingent amounts payable between the parties under the ISDA agreement or otherwise. Typically, these setoff rights arise upon the early termination of all transactions outstanding under an ISDA agreement following a default or specified termination event.

	Most of the ISDA agreements contain credit risk related contingent features with sliding-scale credit support thresholds that are dependent upon credit ratings assigned to certain debt of the General Partner affiliate by certain credit rating agencies. Downgrades in the credit ratings would cause the applicable threshold levels to decrease and improvements in those ratings could cause the threshold levels to increase. If our net liability positions exceed the threshold amounts, the counterparties could require cash collateral, some other form of credit support or daily cash settlement of unrealized losses. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the aggregate fair values of the derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position were $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which also approximates the fair value of the maximum amount of additional collateral that would need to be posted or assets needed to settle the obligations if the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered at the reporting dates. At both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had no cash collateral on deposit for derivative contracts. The credit support documents executed in connection with ISDA agreements generally provide the right to setoff collateral against amounts owing under the ISDA agreements upon the occurrence of a default or a specified termination event.

	The following table presents amounts relevant to offsetting of our derivative assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

We report the fair values of our derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our consolidated balance sheet. As a result, amounts recognized and net amounts presented are the same.

Our exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by counterparties was insignificant as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. We do not believe the contractually allowed netting, close-out netting or set-off of amounts owed to, or due from, the ISDA agreement counterparties would have a material effect on our financial position.

	Following is a summary of the valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Cash and Cash Equivalents

	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of U.S. Treasury Bills with original maturities of three months or less and money market mutual funds that invest in U.S. government obligations.

	Natural Gas Derivatives

	The derivative instruments that we use are primarily natural gas call options and fixed price swaps traded in the over-the-counter markets with either large oil and gas companies or large financial institutions. The derivatives are traded in months forward and settlements are scheduled to coincide with anticipated gas purchases during those future periods. These contracts settle using NYMEX futures prices and accordingly, to determine the fair value of these instruments, we use quoted market prices from NYMEX and standard pricing models with inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as forward curves supplied by an industry recognized unrelated third party.

	10. Related Party Transactions

	TNCLP and TNGP have no employees. We have entered into several agreements with a subsidiary of CF Industries relating to the operation of our business and the sale of the fertilizer products produced at our Verdigris facility. We believe that each of these agreements is on terms that are fair and reasonable to us.

	General Administrative Services and Product Offtake Agreement

	Pursuant to the Amendment to the General and Administrative Services and Product Offtake Agreement (the Services and Offtake Agreement), the Partnership sells all of its fertilizer products to an affiliate of the General Partner at prices based on market prices for the Partnership's fertilizer products as defined in the Services and Offtake Agreement. Title and risk of loss transfer to an affiliate of the General Partner as the product is shipped from the plant gate. The Services and Offtake Agreement is effective for annual terms starting as of January 1st and will be extended automatically for successive one-year terms unless terminated by one of the parties prior to renewal.

	Directly Incurred Charges

	Since we have no employees, we rely on employees from an affiliate of the General Partner to operate our Verdigris facility. As a result, the payroll, payroll-related expenses and benefits, such as health insurance and pension, incurred by an affiliate of the General Partner, are directly charged to us. Payroll, payroll-related expenses and other employee related benefits directly charged to us for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $7.3 million and $19.0 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $5.5 million and $16.1 million, respectively. We report these expenses as services provided by the General Partner and Affiliates in cost of goods sold.

	Allocated Charges

	CF Industries, together with its affiliates, also provides certain services to us under the Services and Offtake Agreement. These services include production planning, manufacturing management, logistics, accounting, legal, risk management, investor relations and other general and administrative functions. Allocated expenses charged to us for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $3.9 million and $11.4 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $3.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively. We report these expenses as selling, general and administrative services provided by the affiliates of the General Partner.

	Demand Deposits with and Amounts Due to/from Affiliates of the General Partner

	Prior to January 1, 2013, our cash was collected and our expenditures were made by an affiliate of the General Partner. Cash receipts, net of cash payments made on our behalf were transferred to us weekly. Because of this cash collection and disbursement arrangement, an affiliate of the General Partner was both a debtor and creditor to us. At December 31, 2012, we had a demand deposit balance with CF Industries of $5.4 million.

	Effective January 1, 2013, we receive cash and make expenditures directly from our cash accounts. Because we sell our products to and receive payroll and other related services from affiliates of the General Partner, the affiliates of the General Partner continue to be both a debtor and creditor to us. At September 30, 2013, we had a net balance due from affiliates of the General Partner of $14.6 million.

	Spare Parts Sharing Agreement

	Affiliates of CF Industries own and operate nitrogen fertilizer complexes that utilize some equipment that is similar to equipment at our Verdigris Nitrogen Complex. Each of the various manufacturing complexes maintain spare parts for use in their facilities. In the event that an unplanned need arises and to help prevent manufacturing downtime, we have entered into a spare parts sharing agreement that permits spare parts to be shared among the manufacturing complexes from time to time. Parts that are borrowed from another complex under the agreement are either refurbished and returned to the lender or replaced.

	Leases

	Effective January 1, 2011, we leased our two terminals (one located near Blair, Nebraska, and the other located near Pekin, Illinois) to an affiliate of the General Partner for a base quarterly rent of $109,000 and additional rent equal to all costs, expenses, and obligations incurred by such affiliate of the General Partner related to the use, occupancy and operation of the facilities. The Pekin terminal stored UAN and the Blair terminal stores both ammonia and UAN. The UAN storage tanks at both Pekin and Blair were taken out of service during 2011. This lease expired on December 31, 2012.

	Effective January 1, 2013, we entered into an amended and restated lease with an affiliate of the General Partner under which the ammonia assets at our Blair terminal are leased by the affiliate. The lease is effective for a five-year term starting on January 1, 2013, and an affiliate of the General Partner has three options to renew for additional five-year terms. The quarterly lease payment is $100,000, subject to an annual inflation adjustment, and additional rent will be paid equal to all costs, expenses, and obligations incurred by the affiliate of the General Partner related to the use, occupancy and operation of the facilities.

	Since January 1, 2011, we have leased certain of our rail cars to an affiliate of the General Partner for quarterly market-based rental payments of $3,600 per car. This lease also was effective initially for a one-year term and is extended automatically for successive one-year terms unless terminated by either party thereto prior to renewal.

	We received rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
