POTASH CORPORATION OF SASKATCHEWAN INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS OF U.S. DOLLARS)
(UNAUDITED)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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") except as outlined in Note 10. The accounting policies used in
preparing these interim financial statements are consistent with those used in
the preparation of the annual financial statements.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Potash
Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PCS) and its principal operating subsidiaries
(the "Company" except to the extent the context otherwise requires):
-- PCS Sales (Canada) Inc.
-- PCS Sales (Iowa), Inc.
-- PCS Sales (Indiana), Inc.
-- PCS Joint Venture, LP
-- Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Transport Limited
-- PCS Sales (USA), Inc.
-- PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.

-- PCS Nitrogen Ohio, L.P.
-- PCS Nitrogen Limited

2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
The Company has adopted the provisions of section 3461 of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook "Employee Future Benefits". Under
this accounting policy, the cost of post-retirement/post-employment benefits are
recognized over the periods in which employees render services to the Company in
return for such benefits. The effect of this change on prior period financial
statements and current period results is not significant.
3. ACQUISITION OF ALBRIGHT & WILSON COMPANY
On March 23, 2000 the Company acquired the remaining 50 percent partnership
interest in Albright & Wilson Company ("A&W"). A&W is an industrial phosphoric
acid manufacturer with plants in Aurora, NC and Cincinnati, OH. Concurrent with
the completion of the acquisition, the name of A&W was changed to PCS Purified
Phosphates.
5
6
The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting
and, accordingly, the results of operations of PCS Purified Phosphates have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from March 24, 2000.
Net assets acquired were:
Working capital............................................. $12,013
Property, plant and equipment............................... 11,212
Other assets................................................ 8,775
-------
$32,000
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the
combined results of operations of the Company and PCS Purified Phosphates as if
the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. There
were no significant pro forma adjustments.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and the pro forma amounts
are based on a preliminary allocation of the purchase price. However, changes to
the unaudited consolidated financial statements and pro forma amounts are
expected as evaluations of assets and liabilities are completed and additional
information becomes available. Accordingly, the final allocated values may
differ from the amounts set forth in the unaudited consolidated financial
statements and below.
The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes
only and is not necessarily indicative of the future results of operations of
the combined company or the results of operations that would have actually
occurred had the acquisition been in effect for the periods presented.

5. INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective consolidated income tax rate approximates 27
percent; however, the gain on the sale of the shares of Moab Salt Inc. in
February 2000 (for which there is no tax effect) has resulted in a lower rate on
a year-to-date basis.
6. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share for the year to date is calculated on the weighted
average shares issued and outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2000
of 52,964,000 (1999 -- 54,253,000). Second quarter
6
7
net income per share is calculated on the weighted average shares issued and
outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2000 of 52,507,000 (1999 --
54,257,000).
7. DIVIDENDS
Prior to June 30, 1999 the Company declared its dividends in Canadian
dollars. Subsequent to that date, the Company declared its dividends in US
dollars.
8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
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 net sales are made
under terms which approximate market prices. For the six months ended June 30,
2000, the phosphate business segment includes the gain on sale of Moab Salt Inc.
of $16,278 as the shares were owned by a subsidiary of the Company in the
phosphate business segment.

In the third quarter of 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved a plan to close nitrogen plants at Clinton, IA and LaPlatte, NE; a
phosphate feed plant at Saltville, VA; and a phosphate terminal at Jacksonville,
FL. The Company also began the consolidation of its Raleigh, NC and Memphis, TN

All on-site inventory at Clinton and LaPlatte has been sold and the
decommissioning of the ammonia storage tanks at Clinton and LaPlatte has been
completed. The Company has contracted out the demolition of the Clinton facility
(at a cost of approximately $45) and demolition activity at Clinton is in
process. The Company has received an offer for the sale of the LaPlatte plant
site. If this sale is approved it is not expected that there will be any
significant further environmental or decommissioning activities required
relating to this site. If the sale is not approved, demolition is expected to
start in the fourth quarter. The Company expects that demolition or sale of both
sites will be completed by the end of the year. There are two employees
remaining at each site.
The Company is currently in negotiations for the sale of the Saltville
site. Dismantling procedures are continuing with two employees remaining at the
site.
Environmental remediation procedures at the phosphate terminal at
Jacksonville have been completed. All employees have either transferred to other
facilities or left the Company. There will be ongoing security and maintenance
costs until such time as the site is sold but it is expected that these costs
will not be significant.
The office consolidation is proceeding according to plan. As of June 30,
2000, 53 employees have left the Company. The remainder of the employees that
will not be relocating to Northbrook are expected to leave by the end of the
third quarter of 2000.
10. UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (US GAAP)
A description of certain significant differences between Canadian GAAP and
US GAAP follows:
MARKETABLE SECURITIES: The Company's investment in Israel Chemicals Ltd.
("ICL") is stated at cost. US GAAP would require that this investment be
classified as available-for-sale and be stated at market value.
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 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 whereas 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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENT: The foreign currency translation
adjustment results from the restatement of prior periods so that all periods
presented are in the same reporting currency. US GAAP requires that the
comparative Consolidated Statements of Income and the Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flow be translated using weighted average exchange rates for the applicable
periods. In contrast, the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are
translated using the exchange rates at the end of the
8
9
applicable periods in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The difference in these
exchange rates gives rise to the foreign currency translation adjustment.
NET SALES: Sales are recorded net of freight costs (less related revenues)
and transportation and distribution expenses. US GAAP would require that net
freight costs be included in cost of goods sold and transportation and
distribution expenses be included in selling and administrative expenses.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Comprehensive income is not recognized under
Canadian GAAP. US GAAP would require the recognition of comprehensive income.
PRE-OPERATING COSTS: Operating costs incurred during the start-up phase of
new projects are deferred until commercial production levels are reached, at
which time they are amortized over the estimated life of the project. US GAAP
would require that these costs be expensed as incurred.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION: Depreciation and amortization under
Canadian GAAP is higher than under US GAAP as the net book values of property,
plant and equipment and goodwill under Canadian GAAP are higher than under US
GAAP.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The
Company has decided to continue to apply APB Opinion 25 for measurement of
compensation of employees.
THE APPLICATION OF US GAAP, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, WOULD HAVE HAD THE
FOLLOWING APPROXIMATE EFFECTS ON NET INCOME, NET INCOME PER SHARE, TOTAL ASSETS
AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

Higher nitrogen sales prices more than offset reductions in nitrogen sales
volumes resulting in higher nitrogen net sales revenue as compared to the second
quarter of 1999. However, lower potash and phosphate sales prices and lower
phosphate sales volumes more than offset the nitrogen net sales increase. Gross
margin was also affected by an increase in the unit cost per tonne of nitrogen
products. Operating income was favourably impacted by a reduction in selling and
administrative expenses due to cost containment and a reduction in the
amortization of goodwill. Operating income was also favourably affected by the
increase in other income (which was primarily due to a dividend from Israel
Chemicals Ltd., the gain on sale of an aircraft, recovery of catalyst from
Clinton and LaPlatte and foreign exchange gains). The net effect of these
factors was a slight reduction in net income as compared to the same quarter in
1999.

Higher North American sales volumes as compared to second quarter 1999 were
primarily due to large seeded acreage and favourable planting conditions which
extended the fertilizer season. Offshore sales volumes declined due primarily to
lower sales volumes to Europe (caused by a weak Euro and declining fertilizer
demand there). Sales prices were down in both North American and offshore
markets as compared to the same quarter in 1999 due to product mix; however,
prices were up as compared to the first quarter of 2000 due to a price increase
in the second quarter of 2000.

Record offshore sales volumes in the first half of 2000 were due to record
sales to China and increased sales to Brazil, Indonesia and India. Offshore
sales prices were down as compared to the first half of 1999 primarily due to
product mix, but were higher than the average prices in the first quarter of
this year. North American sales volumes were also a record primarily due to
large seeded acreages and favourable planting conditions which extended the

the Company's objective to grow the industrial phosphate business.
Lower North American liquid fertilizer sales volumes due primarily to a

to increased sales to India. Higher offshore DAP sales volumes due primarily to
the timing of shipments to China more than offset lower North American sales
volumes, resulting in increased DAP sales volumes as compared to second quarter
1999. Overall, DAP sales prices were down 23 percent. Offshore liquid fertilizer
prices declined primarily due to lower contract prices in India. North American
phosphate fertilizer prices continued to be disappointing.
Lower North American feed prices as compared to the second quarter of 1999
due to competitive pressures more than offset increased prices in the offshore
markets. Both North American and offshore feed sales volumes in the second
quarter declined as compared to the same quarter in 1999 primarily due to
advance buying in the first quarter of 2000 and competitive pressures.

Prices for all nitrogen products were higher than in the second quarter of
1999. These higher prices were primarily the result of healthy demand and the
tight supply due to temporary and permanent plant shutdowns (including the
temporary shutdown of two of the Company's ammonia plants in Trinidad).
Sales volumes of manufactured products decreased as compared to the second
quarter of 1999 primarily due to the permanent closure of two of the Company's
plants in the third quarter of 1999 and the temporary

Higher potash production volumes combined with fewer shutdown weeks and
more potash sales sourced from Saskatchewan contributed to a reduction in the
potash unit cost of sales as compared to second quarter 1999.
Phosphate unit cost of sales increased as compared to the second quarter of
1999 primarily due to reduced production as a result of production cutbacks
which allocated fixed costs over fewer tonnes. As well, the increased cost of
ammonia more than offset the reduction in the cost of sulfur.
The per unit cost of manufactured nitrogen products increased primarily due
to lower production volumes as a result of the temporary shutdown of two of the
Company's plants in Trinidad and higher gas costs. The average cost per unit of
natural gas increased over second quarter 1999 due to more expensive US based
production during the quarter (due to the temporary shutdown of two of the
Company's plants in Trinidad) and higher natural gas costs in Trinidad where the
cost of natural gas is tied to the market price of ammonia. Natural gas costs at
the Company's US plants benefited from the Company's natural gas hedging program
which mitigated the effect of the recent increases in US natural gas prices.

Selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2000 and on a
year to date basis decreased primarily due to cost containment and a reduction
in the amortization of goodwill.
Saskatchewan's Potash Production Tax is comprised of a base tax per tonne
of product sold and an additional tax based on mine-by-mine profits. The New
Brunswick division and the Saskatchewan divisions pay a provincial Crown
royalty, which is accounted for in cost of goods sold.
Interest expense in the second quarter of 2000 and on a year to date basis
increased due to an increase in interest expense on short-term debt relating to
the Company's commercial paper program. The weighted average interest rate on
short-term debt outstanding in the second quarter of 2000 was 6.6 percent
(1999 -- 5.2 percent) and for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was 6.4 percent
(1999 -- 5.2 percent). This increase in short-term interest expense was offset
in part by reduced interest expense on long-term debt. Weighted average
long-term debt outstanding in the second quarter of 2000 was $444.0 million as
compared to $748.0 million in 1999. The weighted average interest rate on the
long-term debt outstanding was 6.8 percent in the second quarter of 2000
(1999 -- 6.2 percent). On a year to date basis, the weighted average long-term
debt outstanding in the second half of 2000 was $444.2 million as compared to
$814.2 million in the first half of 1999. The weighted average interest rate on
the long-term debt outstanding was 6.8 percent in the second half of 2000
(1999 -- 6.2 percent).
PCS and certain subsidiaries are subject to federal income taxes (which
includes the Large Corporations Tax) and provincial income taxes in Canada. The
Company's subsidiaries which operate in the United States are subject to US
federal and state income taxes; these subsidiaries are currently not subject to
federal cash income tax by virtue of net operating losses incurred. The
Company's nitrogen subsidiaries which operate in Trinidad are subject to
Trinidad taxes.
The effective consolidated tax rate for the second quarter of 2000 was 27
percent (1999 -- 27 percent) of income before income taxes. On a year to date
basis the effective consolidated tax rate was 27 percent (exclusive of the gain
on sale of Moab, for which there was no tax effect). The comparable rate in 1999
was 30 percent. The decrease in the effective rate is primarily due to revisions
to earnings estimates. As earnings estimates within taxing jurisdictions change,
the effective rate may also change.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CASH FLOW
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30
----------------------------
%
($ MILLIONS) 2000 1999 CHANGE
- ------------ ------- ------- ------
Cash provided by operating activities....................... $ 244.7 $ 270.5 (10)
Cash used in investing activities........................... $(162.6) $ (43.1) 277
Cash used in financing activities........................... $ (95.1) $(278.2) (66)
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the first half of
2000 was primarily due to decreases of $16.9 million in cash from working
capital, $12.1 million of deferred income taxes and $27.2 million less of other
non-cash items. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net
income of $30.5 million (exclusive of the gain on sale of Moab).
The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the
purchase of Albright & Wilson Company ($32.0 million), the purchase of rights to
certain manufacturing technology ($11.1 million) and the purchase of property
plant and equipment ($72.9 million, which includes the final payment on the
sulphur vessel and assets capitalized on the buy out of certain operating
leases).
Cash used in financing activities was primarily to repurchase shares and to
pay dividends. The Company paid dividends of $26.1 million in the first half of
2000 (1999 -- $26.6 million) and repurchased shares for $59.7 million (1,252,800
shares at an average price of $47.65).
The Company has a syndicated credit facility which provides for unsecured
advances of up to $778.0 million (less the amount of commercial paper
outstanding), none of which was outstanding at June 30, 2000. In addition, the
Company has short-term lines of credit for up to $290.7 million in borrowing
(less letters of credit of $29.8 million), of which $70.0 million was
outstanding at June 30, 2000. The Company is authorized to borrow up to a
maximum of $500.0 million under the commercial paper program of which $395.1 was
outstanding at June 30, 2000. The Company may also issue up to an additional
$600.0 million in unsecured debt securities under its existing shelf
registration statement.
The Company believes that internally generated cash flow, as supplemented
by borrowing from existing financing sources, will be sufficient to meet the
Company's anticipated capital expenditures and other cash requirements,
exclusive of any possible acquisitions, in 2000.
PLANT CLOSURES AND OFFICE CONSOLIDATION
In the third quarter of 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved a plan to close nitrogen plants at Clinton, IA and LaPlatte, NE; a
phosphate feed plant at Saltville, VA; and a phosphate terminal at Jacksonville,
FL. The Company also began the consolidation of its Raleigh, NC and Memphis, TN
administrative offices with the Company's office in Northbrook, IL.
All on-site inventory at Clinton and LaPlatte has been sold and the
decommissioning of the ammonia storage tanks at Clinton and LaPlatte has been
completed. The Company has contracted out the demolition of the Clinton facility
(at a cost of approximately $0.045 million) and demolition activity at Clinton
is in process. The Company has received an offer for the sale of the LaPlatte
plant site. If this sale is approved it is not expected that there will be any
significant further environmental or decommissioning activities required
relating to this site. If the sale is not approved, demolition is expected to
start in the fourth quarter. The Company expects that demolition or sale of both
sites will be completed by the end of the year. There are two employees
remaining at each site.
The Company is currently in negotiations for the sale of the Saltville
site. Dismantling procedures are continuing with two employees remaining at the
site.
Environmental remediation procedures at the phosphate terminal at
Jacksonville have been completed. All employees have either transferred to other
facilities or left the Company. There will be ongoing security and maintenance
costs until such time as the site is sold but it is expected that these costs
will not be significant.

18
The office consolidation is proceeding according to plan. As of June 30,
2000, 53 employees have left the Company. The remainder of the employees that
will not be relocating to Northbrook are expected to leave by the end of the
third quarter of 2000.
OUTLOOK
The rising world population and the demand for more food and better diets,
with meat as a protein source, will continue to drive consumption of fertilizers
over the long term. Governments around the world are placing priority on
fertilizer purchases to increase food production. While the consumption trend
line is expected to continue to climb over the long term, there will be, at
times, fluctuations in demand.
North American fertilizer demand is generally considered mature but is
expected to fluctuate from year to year, as a function of acres planted and
application rates per acre which are influenced by crop prices and weather. In
its mid-July Crop Production Report, the USDA projected this year's corn crop to
be the second largest ever, and corn futures plummeted sharply.
The Company sells a significant amount of potash and phosphate into
countries in the offshore markets. Consumers in these markets purchase
fertilizer to grow cash crops for export and to grow food for internal use.
Recent estimates by outside consultants suggest that fertilizer consumption in
these markets will rise by 2-3 percent this year.
The Company also sells product in the non-fertilizer markets which are
affected by North American economic growth. The outlook for North American
economic growth should translate into increased demand for these upgraded
products.
The effect of any increase in demand for fertilizer and non-fertilizer
products will be offset to the degree that additional capacity is built. This
year approximately 5.0 million tonnes of new ammonia production and 2.5 million
P(2)0(5) tonnes of new phosphate production are expected to come on stream.
Domestic fertilizer sales volumes in the second half of 2000 may be
affected by low grain prices as farmers may wait to buy as near as possible to
spring planting. Offshore sales volumes may be affected by the timing of
purchases by China, India and Brazil. Although China imported potash at a record
pace in the first half of 2000, the Company does not expect it to maintain that
level throughout the year. It is expected to return to the market in the fourth
quarter for spring 2001, which is a typical buying pattern. However, other
offshore potash markets continue strong with Brazil in its main buying season
and India now in the market for product.
DAP prices in the third quarter of 2000 may be affected by India's subsidy
levels, the length of shutdowns in the US and second-half production levels at
the new phosphate facilities in Australia and India.
Sales volumes of manufactured nitrogen products are expected to increase as
compared to the first half of 2000 as the Company's two ammonia plants in
Trinidad have returned to production. Nitrogen prices going forward may be
affected by the length and number of North American shutdowns, which in turn
will be influenced by natural gas prices. In addition, these prices may be
affected by how much and how quickly new capacity comes on stream and how
efficiently the market restructures to deal with it.
PCS continues to operate its potash mines by matching production to
anticipated sales demand. The Company is currently planning 12 shutdown weeks in
the third quarter of 2000 as compared to 18 weeks in the same period in 1999.
Production costs are also affected by the strength of the Canadian dollar,
natural gas costs and sourcing of product sales.
Phosphate processing costs are primarily affected by the cost of ammonia,
sulphur and rock mining conditions.
The Company manages its natural gas costs through a combination of fixed
price contracts, hedges and the Trinidad gas contracts. A continuation of high
spot prices may cause natural gas costs to increase in the third quarter
relative to 1999 and the second quarter of 2000.
The Company now believes that continuing operations will produce higher
earnings in 2000 than previously anticipated, generating earnings per share in
the range of $3.00, depending on market conditions.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and this
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, including those in the "Outlook" section, relating to the period
after June 30, 2000, are forward-looking statements subject to risks and
uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including,
but not limited to: fluctuation in supply and demand in fertilizer, sulphur and
petrochemical markets; changes in competitive pressures, including pricing
pressures; potential higher costs incurred in connection with restructuring
charges as compared to costs estimated for purposes of calculating such charges;
uncertainty and variations in future discounted and undiscounted net cash flows
from use together with residual values estimated for purposes of calculating
asset impairment; changes in capital markets; changes in currency and exchange
rates; unexpected geological or environmental conditions; imprecision in reserve
estimates; the outcome of legal proceedings; and changes in government policy.
The Company sells to a diverse group of customers both by geography and by end
product. Market conditions will vary on a year-over-year basis and sales can be
expected to shift from one period to another. The Company disclaims any
intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's nitrogen operations are significantly affected by the price
of natural gas. The Company employs derivative commodity instruments related to
a portion of its natural gas requirements (primarily futures, swaps and options)
for the purpose of managing its exposure to commodity price risk in the purchase
of natural gas. Changes in the market value of these derivative instruments have
a high correlation to changes in the spot price of natural gas. Gains or losses
arising from settled hedging transactions are deferred as a component of
inventory until the product containing the hedged item is sold. Changes in the
market value of open hedging transactions are not recognized as they generally
relate to changes in the spot price of anticipated natural gas purchases.
A sensitivity analysis has been prepared to estimate the Company's market
risk exposure arising from derivative commodity instruments. The fair value of
such instruments is calculated by valuing each position using quoted market
prices. Market risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting
from a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in such prices. The results of
this analysis indicate that as of June 30, 2000 the Company's estimated
derivative commodity instruments market risk exposure was $27.6 million (1999 --
$32.7 million). Actual results may differ from this estimate. Changes in the
fair value of such derivative instruments, with maturities in 2000 through 2005,
will generally relate to changes in the spot price of anticipated natural gas
purchases.
The Company also enters into forward exchange contracts for the sole
purpose of limiting its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations relating to
certain trade accounts. Gains or losses resulting from foreign exchange
contracts are recognized at the time that the contracts are entered into and are
included in Other Income.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
CIVIL ANTITRUST COMPLAINTS
In June 1993, PCS and PCS Sales (Canada) Inc. ("PCS Sales (Canada)") were
served with a complaint relating to a suit filed in the United States District
Court for Minnesota against most North American potash producers, including the
Company. The complaint alleged a conspiracy among the defendants to fix the
price of potash purchased by the plaintiffs as well as potash purchased by the
members of a class of certain purchasers proposed by the plaintiffs. Similar
complaints were filed in the United States District Courts for the Northern
District of Illinois and the Western District of Virginia. On motion of the
defendants, all of the complaints were transferred and consolidated for
pre-trial purposes in the United States District Court for Minnesota. The
complaint sought treble damages and other relief. PCS and PCS Sales filed a
motion for summary judgment on December 22, 1995. On January 2, 1997, Judge
Richard H. Kyle issued an order granting the defendants' motions for summary
judgment and dismissing the lawsuit. The plaintiffs appealed that order to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On February 17, 2000, the
Eighth Circuit, en banc, affirmed Judge Kyle's summary judgment ruling. The
plaintiffs filed a petition for writ of certiori with the United States Supreme
Court on May 17, 2000. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on that petition.
Additional complaints were filed in the California and Illinois state
courts on behalf of purported classes of indirect purchasers of potash in those
states. PCS moved to dismiss the California State Court lawsuits for lack of
personal jurisdiction and the court ruled that it does not have personal
jurisdiction over PCS but that it does have personal jurisdiction over PCS
Sales. Following Judge Kyle's summary judgment decision, the California
litigation was stayed and the case remains at an early stage: no merits
discovery has taken place. The Illinois State Court complaint was dismissed for
failure to state a cause of action and that decision is final and not subject to
appeal.
Insofar as the allegations of wrongdoing in the litigation relate to the
Company, management of the Company, having consulted with legal counsel,
believes that the allegations are without merit, that the Company has valid
legal defenses and that the lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company. However, management of the Company cannot predict with certainty
the outcome of the litigation.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
(a) On May 11, 2000, the Company held an annual meeting (the "Meeting") of its
shareholders.
(b) At the Meeting, the Company's shareholders voted upon each of the following
proposed director nominees with the results of the voting set forth opposite
the name of each such nominee.
