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. These policies are consistent with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States except as outlined
in Note 7.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Potash
Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PCS) and its subsidiaries (the "Company"
except to the extent the context otherwise requires). The principal subsidiaries
are:
-- PCS Sales (Canada) Inc.
-- PCS Sales (Iowa), Inc.
-- PCS Sales (Indiana), Inc.
-- Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (Florida) Inc.
-- Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Transport Limited
-- PCS Sales (USA), Inc.
-- PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
-- Albright & Wilson Company (proportionately consolidated)
-- White Springs Agricultural Chemicals, Inc.
-- PCS Nitrogen, Inc.
-- PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer, L.P.
-- PCS Nitrogen Ohio, L.P.
-- PCS Nitrogen Limited
-- PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer Limited
-- PCS Nitrogen Trinidad Limited
-- PCS Cassidy Lake Company (PCS Cassidy Lake)
2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
The Company has adopted the provisions of section 3465 of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook "Income Taxes". Under this
accounting policy, deferred income taxes are determined based on the difference
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
the enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized. Income tax expense for the period is the tax payable for the
period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The effect of this change on prior period financial statements and current
period results is not significant.
3. ACQUISITION OF POTASH COMPANY OF CANADA LIMITED
On March 3, 1998, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Potash
Company of Canada Limited for cash of $9,363 (subject to adjustment). Concurrent
with the closing, the name Potash Company of Canada Limited was changed to PCS
Cassidy Lake Limited and this company was subsequently wound up. The acquisition
has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly,
the results of operations of PCS Cassidy Lake have been included in the
consolidated financial statements from March 4, 1998.
5
6
POTASH CORPORATION OF SASKATCHEWAN INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The consolidated financial statements are based on a preliminary allocation
of the purchase price (which is subject to adjustment). Changes to the
consolidated financial statements are expected as the purchase price is
adjusted, 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 consolidated financial statements.
Due to the cessation of mining activities at PCS Cassidy Lake prior to
acquisition, no pro forma information is being presented.

5. NET INCOME PER SHARE (EARNINGS 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, 1998
of 54,115,000 (1997 -- 50,770,000). Second quarter net income per share is
calculated on the weighted average shares issued and outstanding during the
three months ended June 30, 1998 of 54,222,000 (1997 -- 53,685,000).
6. DIVIDENDS
The Company declares its dividends in Canadian dollars.
7. UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
A description of the accounting principles which differ significantly in
certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States (US GAAP) follows:
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 applicable periods. 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 sales and transportation and distribution
expenses be included in selling and administrative expenses.
Non-cash financing and investing activities: Non-cash financing and
investing activities are included in the statement of cash flow. US GAAP
requires that non-cash financing and investing activities be disclosed
supplementally rather than being included in the statement of cash flow.

7
POTASH CORPORATION OF SASKATCHEWAN INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
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 not have significant
effects on net income, net income per share, total assets or shareholders'
equity.
8. COMPARATIVE FIGURES
Certain of the prior period's comparative figures have been reclassified to
conform with the current period's presentation. Results for the first two months
of 1997 do not include the operations of PCS Nitrogen (formerly Arcadian
Corporation) acquired March 6, 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW

Net sales and net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 declined
2 percent and 8 percent, respectively, over the same period in 1997. Net income
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $89.1 million (1997 -- $97.0

million or 1 percent over the same period in 1997. Gross margin for potash
products was $91.9 million, an increase of $28.9 million when compared to the
second quarter of 1997. Gross margin for phosphate products was $60.8 million,
an increase of $6.3 million when compared to the same period in 1997. Gross
margin for nitrogen products was $33.9 million, a decrease of $32.7 million when
compared to 1997.
Year to date
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998 improved 9 percent over
the same period in 1997 while net income declined marginally over the same
period. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $152.1 million
(1997 -- $153.3 million) on net sales of $1,244.3 million (1997 -- $1,141.5
million), or $2.81 per share (1997 -- $3.02 per share). Gross margin and
operating income for the first half of 1998 were $337.3 million and $256.7
million, respectively, compared to a gross margin of $299.2 million and
operating income of $245.2 million for the same period in 1997 (increases of 13
percent and 5 percent, respectively).
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, North American and offshore net
sales revenue was $903.1 million (1997 -- $829.0 million) and $341.2 million
(1997 -- $312.5 million), respectively. North American net sales revenue

POTASH
Second Quarter
Potash net sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$158.9 million (1997 -- $137.4 million) representing 24 percent (1997 -- 20
percent) of consolidated net sales revenue. Gross margin for potash was $91.9
million (1997 -- $63.0 million) or 49 percent of consolidated gross margin.
In the second quarter of 1998, North American sales volumes decreased 25
percent (0.216 million tonnes) as compared to the record second quarter sales in
1997 (1998 -- 0.633 million tonnes; 1997 -- 0.849 million tonnes). In 1997 the
spring season fell entirely into the second quarter and there was not any
significant pre-buying in preceding quarters as there was in 1998. Potash prices
increased 29 percent in the domestic market due primarily to tighter supply as a
result of the closure of the Potacan mine and another competitor's mine in New
Mexico. Offshore sales volumes increased by 20 percent due to large volume sales
to China and Brazil. Prices realized in the offshore markets increased 7 percent
as prices in China, Japan and Brazil are higher than last year.
North American net sales revenue from potash operations represented 34
percent of the potash net sales revenue of the Company during this year's second
quarter. In the three months ended June 30, 1998, the decrease in North American
potash sales volumes and an increase in North American prices resulted in a $2.0
million decrease in North American potash net sales revenue over the same period
in 1997.
Second quarter offshore net sales revenue from potash operations
represented 66 percent of potash net sales revenue of the Company. The increase
in offshore sales volumes and offshore selling price resulted in a $23.5 million
increase in offshore potash net sales revenue over the same period in 1997. In
the offshore market, the Company sold 1.246 million potash tonnes during the
second quarter of 1998 (1997 -- 1.038 million tonnes). Of the 1.246 million
tonnes, 1.087 million tonnes were sold through Canpotex and the remaining 0.159
million tonnes were produced by the New Brunswick divisions and sold and
delivered to offshore markets by PCS Sales.
Year to Date
Potash net sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $304.9
million representing 25 percent (1997 -- 21 percent) of consolidated net sales
revenue. Gross margin for potash was $176.3 million (1997 -- $110.3 million) or
52 percent of consolidated gross margin.
In the first six months of 1998, North American sales volumes decreased 10
percent (0.160 million tonnes) over the same period in 1997 (1998 -- 1.378
million tonnes; 1997 -- 1.538 million tonnes). Potash prices increased 28
percent in the domestic market due primarily to tighter supply as a result of
the closure of the Potacan mine and another competitor's mine in New Mexico.
Offshore sales volumes increased by 20 percent due to large volume sales to
China and Brazil. Prices realized in the offshore markets increased 10 percent
as prices in China, Japan and Brazil were higher than last year.
North American net sales revenue from potash operations represented 37
percent of the Company's potash net sales revenue during this year's first six
months. In the first six months of 1998, the decrease in North American potash
sales volumes and an increase in North American prices resulted in a $14.4
million increase in North American potash net sales revenue over the same period
in 1997.
In the first six months of 1998, offshore net sales revenue from potash
operations represented 63 percent of potash net sales revenue of the Company. In
the second quarter of 1998, the increase in offshore sales volumes and offshore
selling price resulted in a $46.1 million increase in offshore potash net sales
revenue over the same period in 1997. In the offshore market, the Company sold
2.265 million potash tonnes (1997 -- 1.895 million tonnes). Of the 2.265 million
tonnes, 1.950 million tonnes were sold through Canpotex and the remaining 0.315
million tonnes were produced by the New Brunswick divisions and sold and
delivered to offshore markets by PCS Sales.

10
PHOSPHATE
Second Quarter
Phosphate net sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$251.2 million representing 38 percent of consolidated net sales revenue. The
distribution of this revenue was as follows: liquid phosphates $91.5 million (36
percent); solid phosphates $88.7 million (35 percent); feed supplements $48.4
million (19 percent); industrial products $22.4 million (9 percent) and
phosphate rock $0.2 million. For the same three months of 1997 net sales revenue
was $246.9 million (36 percent of consolidated net sales revenue); liquid
phosphates $83.3 million (34 percent); solid phosphates $96.6 million (39
percent); feed supplements $44.0 million (18 percent); industrial products $22.8
million (9 percent) and phosphate rock $0.2 million. Gross margin for phosphate
was $60.8 million (1997 -- $54.5 million) or 33 percent of consolidated gross
margin.
For the three months ended June 30, 1998 net sales revenue from liquid and
solid phosphates was $180.2 million (1997 -- $179.9 million) with sales volumes
of 0.887 million tonnes (1997 -- 0.919 million tonnes). Solid phosphates
(substantially all DAP) accounted for 35 percent (1997 -- 39 percent) of the
total phosphate net sales revenue. Liquid phosphate prices increased by 4
percent (due to a large percentage of higher priced domestic sales in the sales
mix) and sales volumes increased by 6 percent, resulting in additional net sales
revenue of $8.2 million over the second quarter of 1997. Solid phosphate prices
increased 3 percent as compared to the second quarter of 1997. However, this was
offset by a sales volume decrease of 10 percent resulting in a decrease of net
sales revenue of $7.9 million compared to the same period of 1997. The decrease
in DAP sales volumes is due to utilizing more P205 tonnes for other higher
margin products.
Net sales revenue from feed supplements and industrial products during the
second quarter was $70.8 million (1997 -- $66.8 million) with sales volumes of
0.250 million tonnes (1997 -- 0.235 million tonnes). Feed supplement prices
increased 2 percent and volumes increased 8 percent as compared to the second
quarter of 1997. This resulted in additional net sales revenue of $4.4 million.
Industrial product prices declined by 5 percent while sales volumes increased by
3 percent. This resulted in a reduction of net sales revenue of $0.4 million.
Non-fertilizer products represented 31 percent of phosphate sales volumes but
accounted for 43 percent of the phosphate gross margin.
Year to Date
Phosphate net sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was
$496.7 million representing 40 percent of consolidated net sales revenue. The
distribution of this revenue was as follows: liquid phosphates $176.3 million
(35 percent); solid phosphates $180.2 million (36 percent); feed supplements
$94.8 million (19 percent); industrial products $45.1 million (9 percent) and
phosphate rock $0.3 million. For the comparable six months of 1997 net sales
revenue was $470.6 million (41 percent of consolidated net sales revenue);
liquid phosphates $149.5 million (32 percent); solid phosphates $180.9 million
(38 percent); feed supplements $94.6 million (20 percent); industrial products
$44.3 million (10 percent) and phosphate rock $1.3 million. Gross margin for
phosphate was $112.9 million (1997 -- $93.9 million) or 33 percent of
consolidated gross margin.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998 net sales revenue from liquid and
solid phosphates was $356.5 million (1997 -- $330.4 million) with sales volumes
of 1.752 million tonnes (1997 -- 1.677 million tonnes). Solid phosphates
(substantially all DAP) accounted for 36 percent (1997 -- 38 percent) of the
total phosphate net sales revenue. Liquid phosphate prices increased by 6
percent (due to a large percentage of higher priced domestic sales in the sales
mix) and sales volumes increased by 11 percent, resulting in additional net
sales revenue of $26.8 million compared to the first six months of 1997.
Overall, solid phosphate prices and volumes were consistent with the first six
months of 1997.
Net sales revenue from feed supplements and industrial products during the
first six months was $139.9 million (1997 -- $138.9 million) with sales volumes
of 0.494 million tonnes (1997 -- 0.490 million tonnes). Feed supplement prices
and volumes were steady as compared to the first six months of 1997. Industrial
product prices declined by 3 percent while sales volumes increased by 5 percent.
Non-fertilizer
10
11
products represented 31 percent of phosphate sales volumes but accounted for 45
percent of the phosphate gross margin.
NITROGEN
With the exception of purchased product, nitrogen data for 1997 is only for
the period subsequent to the acquisition of PCS Nitrogen, Inc. (formerly
Arcadian Corporation) on March 6, 1997.
Second Quarter
Nitrogen net sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$250.3 million (1997 -- $292.3 million) representing 38 percent (1997 -- 44
percent) of consolidated net sales revenue. Net sales revenue includes $21.1
million (1997 -- $46.1 million) of purchased nitrogen products for resale. The
overall gross margin was impacted negatively by reductions in sales prices.
Prices remained low, but increased 9 percent over prices realized in the first
quarter of 1998. These price increases were primarily due to a combination of
seasonal pressures and production problems at a competitor's plant in Trinidad
which reduced the expected supply of products. Manufactured nitrogen net sales
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $229.2 million. The
distribution of this revenue was as follows: ammonia $56.6 million (25 percent);
urea $66.1 million (29 percent); nitrogen solutions $70.2 million (31 percent)
and other nitrogen products $36.3 million (15 percent). Second quarter 1997
manufactured nitrogen net sales revenue was $246.2 million as follows: ammonia
$73.8 million (30 percent); urea $65.9 million (27 percent); nitrogen solutions
$67.2 million (27 percent) and other nitrogen products $39.3 million (16
percent). Gross margin for nitrogen products was $33.9 million or 18 percent of
consolidated gross margin.
Sales tonnes for manufactured nitrogen products in the second quarter of
1998 were as follows: ammonia 0.386 million tonnes; urea 0.442 million tonnes;
nitrogen solutions 0.889 million tonnes and other nitrogen products 0.284
million tonnes. Sales tonnes for manufactured nitrogen products for the second
quarter of 1997 were: ammonia 0.402 million tonnes; urea 0.360 million tonnes;
nitrogen solutions 0.636 million tonnes and other nitrogen products 0.294
million tonnes. Purchased nitrogen products sales tonnes for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 were 0.133 million tonnes (1997 -- 0.274 million tonnes).
The nitrogen market came under pressure last year when China stopped buying
urea, depressing prices. Less ammonia was then upgraded to urea, which pulled
ammonia prices down. The market for nitrogen solutions was also affected.
However, the Company continued to sell a large portion of its North American
nitrogen production to the more stable industrial market (non-fertilizer
products represented 26 percent of nitrogen sales volumes and provided 60
percent of the nitrogen gross margin).
Year to Date
Nitrogen net sales revenue for the first six months was $442.7 million
(1997 -- $426.5 million) representing 35 percent (1997 -- 38 percent) of
consolidated net sales revenue. Net sales revenue includes $40.6 million
(1997 -- $97.6 million) of purchased nitrogen products for resale. The overall
gross margin was impacted negatively by reductions in sales prices. Prices
remained low. Manufactured nitrogen net sales revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 was $402.1 million. The distribution of this revenue was as
follows: ammonia $100.1 million (25 percent); urea $119.5 million (30 percent);
nitrogen solutions $112.2 million (28 percent) and other nitrogen products $70.3
million (17 percent). For the four months of 1997 manufactured nitrogen net
sales revenue was $328.9 million as follows: ammonia $88.7 million (27 percent);
urea $100.1 million (30 percent); nitrogen solutions $86.6 million (27 percent)
and other nitrogen products $53.5 million (16 percent). Gross margin for
nitrogen products was $48.1 million or 15 percent of consolidated gross margin.
For the first six months of 1998 sales tonnes for manufactured nitrogen
products were as follows: ammonia 0.733 million tonnes; urea 0.830 million
tonnes; nitrogen solutions 1.445 million tonnes and other nitrogen products
0.561 million tonnes. Sales tonnes for manufactured nitrogen products for the
first four months of 1997 were as follows: ammonia 0.471 million tonnes; urea
0.541 million tonnes; nitrogen solutions
11
12
0.813 million tonnes and other nitrogen products 0.395 million tonnes. Purchased
nitrogen products sales tonnes for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were 0.345
million tonnes (1997 -- 0.519 million tonnes).
Non-fertilizer products (which are subject to contractually set prices)
represented 30 percent of nitrogen sales volumes in the first half of 1998 and
provided 86 percent of the nitrogen gross margin.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
Second Quarter
For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company produced 2.046
million potassium chloride (KCl) tonnes, compared to 1.687 million tonnes in the
second quarter of 1997, an increase of 0.359 million tonnes (21 percent). For
the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company produced 0.604 million
phosphoric acid (P(2)0(5)) tonnes from its phosphate operations, compared to
0.599 million tonnes in 1997. Nitrogen production was 0.777 million nitrogen (N)
tonnes in the second quarter of 1998 compared to 0.724 million tonnes in the
same period in 1997.
Potash unit cost of sales decreased by 10 percent in the second quarter of
1998 compared to the same period in 1997 due primarily to higher production
volumes and ten fewer shutdown weeks. Reduced cost of sales combined with
domestic and offshore price increases resulted in a 46 percent increase in the
per unit gross margin realized on potash products on a year over year basis.
Overall phosphate unit cost of sales in the second quarter of 1998 were
flat compared to the same period in 1997. Lower ammonia costs were offset
primarily by higher rock costs. On an overall basis the per unit gross margin on
phosphate products increased by 13 percent on a year over year basis, primarily
due to improved prices.
In nitrogen, U.S. natural gas market prices have increased from the same
period in 1997. However, the Company, through its natural gas hedging program
and favorable gas contracts in Trinidad, has kept its per unit natural gas cost
relatively flat. The per unit natural gas cost included in cost of sales
decreased approximately 5 percent from the same period in 1997. This contributed
to a reduction in the overall per unit cost of sales of manufactured products of
7 percent as compared with the second quarter of 1997.
Depreciation and amortization expense (including amortization of goodwill
of $3.7 million included in selling and administrative expenses) for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 was $49.4 million compared to $46.6 million in 1997.
Year to Date
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company produced 4.042 million
KCl tonnes, compared to 3.340 million tonnes in the same period in 1997, an
increase of 0.702 million tonnes (21 percent). For the six months ended June 30,
1998, the Company produced 1.165 million P(2)0(5) tonnes from its phosphate
operations, compared to 1.121 million tonnes in 1997, an increase of 0.044
million tonnes (4 percent). Nitrogen production was 1.535 million (N) tonnes in
the first half of 1998 compared to 0.964 million tonnes in four months of 1997.
Potash unit cost of sales decreased by 10 percent in the first six months
of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997 due primarily to higher production
volumes and eighteen fewer shutdown weeks. Reduced cost of sales combined with
domestic and offshore price increases resulted in a 51 percent increase in the
per unit gross margin realized on potash products on a year over year basis. The
Company's mine at Sussex, New Brunswick continues to experience saturated brine
inflow at the rate of approximately 250 gallons per minute. Mining operations
have not been affected by this inflow and efforts to locate and control it
continue. To date the costs associated with locating and managing this inflow
have not been material.
Overall phosphate unit cost of sales in the first six months of 1998 were
flat compared to the first half of 1997. On an overall basis the per unit gross
margin on phosphate products increased by 17 percent on a year over year basis,
primarily due to improved prices.

In nitrogen, U.S. natural gas market prices have increased from the same
period in 1997. However, the Company, through its natural gas hedging program
and favorable gas contracts in Trinidad, has kept its per unit natural gas cost
relatively flat. The per unit natural gas cost included in cost of sales
decreased approximately 5 percent from the same period in 1997. This contributed
to a reduction in the overall per unit cost of sales of manufactured products of
7 percent as compared with the first half of 1997.
Depreciation and amortization expense (including amortization of goodwill
of $7.3 million included in selling and administrative expenses) for the first
six months of 1998 was $97.6 million compared to $77.9 million in 1997, an
increase of $19.7 million or 25 percent. The increase is largely attributable to
$15.8 million additional depreciation and amortization due to a full six months
of nitrogen operations.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Second Quarter
Selling and administrative expenses during the second quarter of 1998 were
$28.4 million as compared to $27.9 million in 1997, an increase of $0.5 million.
Year to Date
Selling and administrative expenses (which includes amortization of
goodwill) during the first half of 1998 were $58.3 million as compared to $47.2
million in 1997, an increase of $11.1 million. The increase is attributable to
the inclusion of nitrogen operations for six months in 1998 versus four months
in 1997 and to general increases in supplies, compensation and benefits.
PROVINCIAL MINING AND OTHER TAXES
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. PCS New
Brunswick Division and the Saskatchewan divisions pay a provincial crown
royalty, which is accounted for under cost of goods sold.
Second Quarter
For the second quarter of 1998, provincial mining and other taxes were
$23.9 million as compared to $14.5 million in the first quarter of 1997, an
increase of $9.4 million. Potash Production Tax for the second quarter of 1998
was $18.4 million compared to $10.1 million in the same period in 1997, an
increase of $8.3 million. Although the Province of Saskatchewan has reduced the
top marginal rate of the profits portion of the Potash Production Tax from 50
percent to 35 percent effective January 1, 1998, the combination of higher
prices and increased volumes for potash has increased the amount of tax paid.
Corporate capital tax was $5.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 1998
compared to $4.4 million in the same period in 1997, an increase of $1.1
million.
Year to Date
For the first half of 1998, provincial mining and other taxes were $44.8
million as compared to $25.0 million in the first half of 1997, an increase of
$19.8 million. Potash Production Tax for the first half of 1998 was $34.3
million compared to $16.9 million in the same period in 1997, an increase of
$17.4 million. Although the Province of Saskatchewan has reduced the top
marginal rate of the profits portion of the Potash Production Tax from 50
percent to 35 percent effective January 1, 1998, the combination of higher
prices and increased volumes for potash has increased the amount of tax paid.
Corporate capital tax was $10.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 1998
compared to $8.1 million in the same period in 1997, an increase of $2.4
million.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Second Quarter
For the second quarter of 1998, interest expense was $17.0 million as
compared to $23.6 million in the same period in 1997.
Year to Date
For the first half of 1998, interest expense was $37.1 million as compared
to $37.4 million in the same period in 1997. The 1998 amounts include interest
for the full half year on the debt incurred with the acquisition of PCS Nitrogen
in March 1997. This additional interest is partially offset by the reduction in
interest expense resulting from debt repayments during the first half of the
year.
INCOME TAXES
Second Quarter
Income taxes in the second quarter of 1998 were $40.8 million, compared to
$34.2 million in the same period of 1997, an increase of $6.6 million. The
increase is attributable to the recording of a deferred income tax provision
relating to the Company's Canadian operations due to the strong results
generated by potash. The effective consolidated tax rate for the second quarter
of 1998 was 31 percent (1997 -- 26 percent), of which 7 percentage points
represented cash income taxes and 24 percentage points represented deferred
income taxes.
Year to Date
Income taxes in the first half of 1998 were $67.5 million, compared to
$54.5 million in the same period of 1997, an increase of $13.0 million. The
increase is attributable to the recording of a deferred income tax provision
relating to the Company's Canadian operations due to the strong results
generated by potash . The effective consolidated tax rate for the first six
months of 1998 was 31 percent (1997 -- 26 percent) of which 7 percentage points
represented cash income taxes and 24 percentage points represented deferred
income taxes.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CASH FLOW
Working capital for the first six months of 1998 decreased by $15.9
million. Cash flow from operations was $340.7 million (1997 -- $236.0 million),
a new record. Quick and current ratios were .79 and 1.63 at June 30, 1998,
respectively (.79 and 1.62 at December 31, 1997). The Company paid down its
long-term debt by $242.1 million and paid dividends of $26.8 million
(1997 -- $27.8 million). At the end of the first six months of 1998, the debt to
capital ratio was at 30 percent (36 percent at December 31, 1997) and the
interest coverage ratio was 6.9 to 1 (5.5 to 1 at December 31, 1997). The net
debt to market capitalization at June 30, 1998 was 22 percent (25 percent at
December 31, 1997).
YEAR 2000 UPDATE
The Company has formed a Year 2000 committee composed of executive and
senior management to oversee and direct the Company's efforts to identify and
resolve Year 2000 issues. The Company anticipated Year 2000 requirements for its
corporate, potash and sales administrative systems in the early 1990s by
implementing four digit century standards. Based on investigations to date, the
Company considers those systems to be Year 2000 compliant. Testing to confirm
compliance is planned to occur in third quarter 1998. Phosphate and nitrogen
subsidiaries are conducting routine compliant upgrades of their packaged
administrative systems. The last such upgrade is expected to be completed by
mid-1999. The Company is reviewing its operational systems and expects to
complete its assessment by the end of the third quarter.
The Company has initiated formal communications with critical external
parties to determine the extent to which the Company may be vulnerable to such
parties' failure to resolve their Year 2000 issues. Responses to date have not
identified any matters which are expected to materially impact the Company.
However, the
14
15
effect, if any, on the Company's results of operations from the failure of these
entities to be Year 2000 ready is uncertain.
The Company is primarily utilizing internal resources to identify, upgrade
and test its systems for Year 2000 compliance and anticipates that these efforts
will be completed by mid-1999. Costs over this period are not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial results.
OUTLOOK
The statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and in this "Outlook" section, relating to
the period after June 30, 1998, are forward-looking statements subject to
uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, but not
limited to, fluctuations in supply and demand in fertilizer, sulphur and
petrochemical markets, changes in capital markets, changes in currency exchange
rates, unexpected geological or environmental conditions, imprecision in reserve
estimates, and changes in government policy. The Company sells to a diverse
group of customers both by geography and by end product. Market conditions by
country will vary on a year-over-year basis and sales shift from one period to
another.
The rising world population and the demand for more food and better diets,
with meat as a protein source, will continue to drive consumption for fertilizer
products over the long term. Over the short term, there should be increased
fertilizer usage as governments around the world are focusing on increasing 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. The
Company is expecting good fertilizer applications in the fall season.
The Company sells a significant amount of potash and phosphate for
fertilizer use in the offshore markets. To date, the currency devaluation in
Asian countries has not significantly affected these sales (with the exception
of potash sales to Indonesia). These countries purchase fertilizer to grow cash
crops for export and to grow food for internal use and are making fertilizer
purchases a priority in spending plans. However, the persistence of the currency
devaluation could affect the growth trend. The United States Congress has passed
a bill which exempts fertilizers from trade sanctions against India and
Pakistan.
The Company also sells products in non-fertilizer markets which are
affected by domestic economic growth. The optimistic outlook for domestic
economic growth should translate into increased demand for these upgraded
products.
The effect of such an anticipated increase in demand for fertilizer and
non-fertilizer products may be offset to the degree that additional capacity,
particularly for nitrogen products, comes on stream.
During the third quarter, potash prices in the domestic market are expected
to be affected by typical seasonal pressures. The Company has announced a $6 per
ton price increase effective September 15, 1998. Offshore markets are expected
to continue to be healthy. Realized export prices are expected to increase due
to increased sales in higher priced markets in the third quarter.
The Company continues to operate its potash mines by matching production to
sales demand. Shutdowns at potash mines for inventory correction will influence
potash production costs on a quarter over quarter comparative basis. The Company
is currently planning thirteen shutdown weeks in the third quarter of 1998,
compared to nine in the third quarter of 1997.
In the near-term phosphate prices are expected to remain firm. Worldwide
phosphoric acid capacity utilization continues to operate at historically high
levels. Liquid phosphate sales volumes in the third quarter of 1998 are expected
to be higher than the third quarter of 1997. Realized prices are expected to
decline from the second quarter of 1998 due to seasonality, however they are
expected to be higher on a year over year basis.
15
16
As two-thirds of U.S. DAP is exported, a strong offshore market is required
to maintain upward pressure on prices. To date in 1998, China, the biggest
offshore buyer, has purchased above contract sales volumes from PhosChem. India
is buying DAP but is still awaiting official program announcements and final
approvals before purchasing larger volumes. In addition, Mulberry Phosphates has
joined PhosChem, further strengthening the association's offshore sales
position.
In North America, projected increased acreage and low inventories are
expected to support phosphate fertilizer sales. Feed supplement sales prices are
expected to decline slightly in the third quarter due to increased North
American competition and reduced offshore meat imports.
Urea prices continue to be below last year's levels. The urea market is
influenced by China where buyers remain inactive. The Company's overall urea
price realizations have been aided by higher priced industrial product. The
difficult urea market carries over into the nitrogen solutions market, where
prices continue to be disappointing. Third quarter prices are expected to be
affected by seasonal weakness and new capacity.
Nitrogen gross margin for the third quarter of 1998 is expected to be
approximately one half of the comparable period in 1997, due to last year's
higher prices. However, the Company expects that its strategic plant locations
and sales to industrial customers (both of which result in higher margins) and
its favourable gas contracts in Trinidad will continue to provide positive
nitrogen margins. The Company's new ammonia plant in Trinidad began commercial
production during the second quarter and is now operating at capacity. This will
increase the amount of lower cost ammonia available for sale and is expected to
reduce the need to purchase product to fill customer orders. This is expected to
improve overall nitrogen margins.
Phosphate processing costs will continue to be affected by ammonia costs,
one of the key inputs. Ammonia prices in the third quarter are expected to be
lower than in the second quarter of 1998 and the comparable period in 1997. PCS
can use one-third of the ammonia it produces and sells as ammonia at its own
phosphate plants. The Company manages its natural gas costs through a
combination of fixed price contracts, hedges and the Trinidad gas contracts. As
the most flexible producer, the Company will continue to allocate its nitrogen
and phosphate feed stock to production of the products with the best margins.
Capital expenditures in 1998 are expected to approximate those in 1997.
The narrative included under this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been prepared with reference
to the consolidated financial statements reported under accounting principles
generally accepted in Canada.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
FORMER ARCADIAN EXECUTIVE PROCEEDINGS
On May 7, 1997, J. Douglas Campbell, Alfred L. Williams, Peter H. Kesser,
and David Alyea, former officers of Arcadian, filed lawsuits against the Company
in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. The
complaints allege that the Company breached employment agreements between
Arcadian and the officers and breached the related assumption agreement among
the Company, PCS Nitrogen, and Arcadian. In addition, Mr. Alyea's complaint
names Charles Childers, John Gugulyn, and John Hampton as additional defendants
and alleges that the defendants interfered with and conspired to interfere with
his employment agreement, and did not accurately state their intentions in
entering into the assumption agreement. The complaints of Mr. Campbell, Mr.
Williams, Mr. Kesser, and Mr. Alyea seek damages in excess of $22.2 million,
$6.2 million, $3.7 million, and $4.2 million, respectively. In addition, on
October 14, 1997, Charles Lance, a former officer of Arcadian Corporation, filed
a lawsuit in the same court against the Company also alleging breaches of his
employment agreement and the related assumption agreement. Mr. Lance seeks
damages in an amount exceeding $3.0 million. Each complaint also seeks certain
additional unspecified damages. On July 20, 1998, the Company was granted leave
to assert the claims and defenses it asserted in the state court action
described below, including a request for a declaratory judgment regarding the
enforceability of the employment agreements. On August 11, 1998, the Court ruled
that the employment agreements were enforceable against the Company and that
equitable claims and defenses against the executives for breaches of fiduciary
duties, corporate waste, and self-dealing should be asserted by PCS Nitrogen in
the state court action. Trial with respect to the claims of Mr. Campbell, Mr.
Williams and Mr. Kesser has been set for August 17, 1998. No trial dates have
been set for the claims of Mr. Lance or Mr. Alyea. Management of the Company,
having consulted with legal counsel, believes that the lawsuits will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
On September 15, 1997, the Company and PCS Nitrogen filed an action in the
Circuit Court of Tennessee for Thirtieth Judicial District at Memphis against J.
Douglas Campbell, Peter H. Kesser, Alfred L. Williams, Charles W. Lance, Jr.,
and David L. Alyea, for declaratory relief and damages. The Company and PCS
Nitrogen allege that the defendants, all former executives of Arcadian,
committed breaches of their fiduciary duties in the negotiation of, obtaining
approval for, and execution of the Employment Agreements each of them had with
Arcadian. In addition, the Company has sought a declaratory judgment with
respect to the unenforceability of the Employment Agreements. On October 14,
1997, the defendants removed this action from the Circuit Court of Tennessee to
the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. On
October 21, 1997, the five defendants filed counterclaims: (i) under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), against PCS
Nitrogen, (ii) alleging that the Company and PCS Nitrogen unlawfully interfered
with their attainment of benefits under their Employment Agreements, and (iii)
incorporating by reference all claims asserted in their individually filed
complaints. The damages sought by the defendants in these counterclaims appear
substantially equivalent to the damages sought in their individually filed suits
as plaintiffs. On July 20, 1998 the federal court dismissed all of the former
executives' claims under ERISA and granted the Company's motion to remand the
case to state court.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
