POTASH CORPORATION OF SASKATCHEWAN INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN MILLIONS OF US 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 8. 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 Joint Venture, LP.
-- PCS Sales (USA), Inc.
-- PCS Phosphate Company, Inc.
-- PCS Purified Phosphates
-- 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 Yumbes S.C.M.
-- PCS Fosfatos do Brasil Ltda.
2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
The Company has adopted the provisions of section 3500 of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook "Earnings Per Share". This
pronouncement requires that fully diluted earnings per share be calculated using
the treasury stock method rather than the imputed earnings method. The effect of
this change on fully diluted earnings per share is not significant in any of the
periods presented.

4. INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective consolidated income tax rate for the year-to-date
approximates 36 percent. The rate for the second quarter is lower than this due
to a cumulative adjustment made in the second quarter to reduce the effective
rate from 38 percent to 36 percent on a year-to-date basis. In 2000, this rate
was 27 percent; however, the gain on the sale of the shares of Moab Salt Inc.
("Moab") in February 2000 (for which there was no tax effect) resulted in a
lower rate.
5. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share for the quarter is calculated on the weighted
average shares issued and outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2001
of 51,865,000 (2000 -- 52,507,000). Basic net income per share for the
year-to-date is calculated on the weighted average shares issued and outstanding
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 of 51,862,000 (2000 -- 52,964,000). Fully
diluted net income per share is calculated based on the weighted average shares
issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted by the total of the
additional common shares that would have been issued assuming exercise of all
share options with exercise prices at or below the average market price for the
period. Weighted average shares outstanding for the fully diluted net income per
share calculation for the quarter were 52,149,000 (2000 -- 52,809,000) and for
the year-to-date were 52,192,000 (2000 -- 53,234,000).
6. 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.

7. PLANT CLOSURES
On January 19, 2001, the Company suspended all DAP production at its White
Springs, Florida operations and on January 15, 2001, permanently closed its
Davenport, Iowa phosphate feed plant.
In the third quarter of 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved a plan to close nitrogen plants at Clinton, Iowa and LaPlatte,
Nebraska.
Demolition activity at Clinton is in process. The Company is attempting to
sell this property and therefore certain structures which add value to the site
will not be demolished at this time. Although the initial offer to purchase the
LaPlatte property has expired, the Company continues in its efforts to sell this
property. If a sale is completed, it is not expected that there will be any
significant further environmental or decommissioning activities required
relating to this site.
The following table sets forth the balances pertaining to the Company's
accruals:

8. UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
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. 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.
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.
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
7
8
Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are translated using the exchange
rates at the end of the applicable periods in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The
difference in these exchange rates is what gives rise to the foreign currency
translation adjustment.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: The Company's derivative
instruments which have not yet been settled are not recognized in the financial
statements and gains or losses arising from settled hedging transactions are
deferred as a component of inventory until the product containing the hedged
item is sold, at which time both the natural gas purchase cost and the related
hedging deferral are recorded as cost of sales. US GAAP would require that
derivative instruments be recorded at fair value in the balance sheet with the
change in fair value of instruments designated as cash flow hedges recorded as
Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI").
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 reported as operating expenses.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Comprehensive income is not recognized under
Canadian GAAP. US GAAP would require the recognition of comprehensive income.
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.
PROVISION FOR PLANT CLOSURES: The provision for plant closures under
Canadian GAAP in 2000 included severance expense, which was accrued when
management having the appropriate authority approved the plan. US GAAP would
require that severance not be accrued until the plan was announced to the
employees. Under US GAAP severance is being expensed as paid in 2001.
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:

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company has adopted SFAS 133. The adoption
of this pronouncement has not had a significant impact on the results of
operations as the Company's hedges have been highly effective. The impact of
SFAS 133 on the statement of financial position has been significant and is set
out in the above tables under the caption "Fair value of natural gas hedging
contracts".
9
10
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company also adopted SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". This SAB
did not have a significant effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.
SFAS 133 DISCLOSURES
The Company's natural gas purchase strategy is based on diversification of
price for its total gas requirements. Its objective is to acquire a reliable
supply of natural gas feedstock and fuel on a location adjusted, cost
competitive basis in a manner that minimizes volatility without undue risk. It
employs derivative instruments including futures, swaps and option agreements in
order to establish the cost on a portion of its natural gas requirements. These
instruments are intended to hedge the future cost of the committed and
anticipated natural gas purchases for its US nitrogen plants. The maximum period
for these hedges cannot exceed five years. The Company uses these instruments to
reduce price risk, not for speculative purposes.
The Company has designated its natural gas derivative instruments as cash
flow hedges. The gain or loss of an effective cash flow hedge is deferred in OCI
until such time as the natural gas that it relates to is used in production, at
which time the gain or loss is reclassified from OCI to cost of sales. In the
second quarter of 2001, $13.5 million of gains was recognized in cost of sales
($50.7 million on a year-to-date basis). Of the deferred gains at the quarter
end, approximately $22.5 million will be reclassified to cost of sales within
the next twelve months.
9. SEASONALITY
The Company's sales of fertilizer are seasonal. Typically, the second
quarter of the year is when fertilizer sales will be highest, due to the North
American spring planting season. However, planting conditions and the timing of
customer purchases will vary each year and sales can be expected to shift from
one quarter to another.
10. COMPARATIVE FIGURES
Certain of the prior period's figures have been reclassified to conform
with the current period's presentation.

The nitrogen segment continued to lead the way in the second quarter of
2001. Nitrogen fertilizer and non-fertilizer prices increased significantly over
the same periods last year (although they decreased significantly near the end
of the second quarter of 2001). These higher prices were primarily responsible
for an increase in nitrogen gross margin that was large enough to more than
offset the decline in the gross margin provided by the potash and phosphate
segments for both the second quarter and on a year-to-date basis. Potash prices
were generally stable on a quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparison.
Potash volumes in both offshore and domestic markets were higher in the second
quarter of 2001 than in the second quarter of 2000, but lower on a
year-over-year basis due to last year's record volumes. Higher potash production
costs, combined with lower volumes on a year-to-date basis resulted in lower
gross margin. Phosphate gross margin for the second quarter was flat as compared
to the second quarter of 2000, and down on a year-over-year basis, primarily due
to reduced sales volumes. Phosphate prices were higher than the comparable
periods a year ago, but per unit cost of sales increased.
The Canadian dollar strengthened considerably from March 31, 2001 to June
30, 2001. The Company's Canadian dollar denominated monetary assets and
liabilities are converted at the month-end exchange rate, which resulted in a
non-cash loss on the income statement of $8.4 million this quarter, compared to
a $2.8 million gain in second-quarter 2000, an $11.2 million change. A one-cent
change in the Canadian dollar affects the Company's foreign exchange gain or
loss by approximately $1.1 million.
Other income in this year's second quarter decreased from the same quarter
last year, primarily due to a lower dividend from ICL and other miscellaneous
items that were recorded in 2000. On a year-to-date basis, other income was down
primarily due to the gain on sale of Moab which occurred in first quarter 2000.

Potash sales volumes were up 4 percent as compared to the second quarter of
last year, with both North American and offshore markets recording better
tonnage. However, first-half sales volumes remained below last year's record
levels. After a slow first quarter start, offshore volumes came back in the
second quarter, as customers that had reduced their inventories began buying
again. Offshore volumes were up 57 percent over the trailing quarter, again
demonstrating the importance of the growing offshore market. Domestic volumes
for the first six months of 2001 were down 9 percent, reflecting decreased
potash consumption in North America of approximately 3 percent during fertilizer
year 2000/2001. Prices were basically flat on a quarter-to-quarter and
year-to-year comparison.
Potash gross margin in the second quarter was lower, compared to the same
quarter last year, primarily due to higher natural gas costs included in cost of
sales. In keeping with the Company's strategy of reducing production in tandem
with sales, it produced 13 percent less potash in this second quarter than in
the second quarter of last year (20 percent less on a year-over-year basis).
This increased the per unit cost of potash sold. Other factors contributing to
increased costs on a year-to-date basis were higher natural gas prices, a
significant increase in the number of shutdown weeks (from 8 weeks in the first
half of 2000 to 25 weeks this first half) and a stronger Canadian dollar.

======================================================================================================================
The phosphate fertilizer market remained weak throughout the quarter,
affected by poor world supply/ demand fundamentals. However, the Company
continued to generate good trough-level earnings due to the contribution from
its higher-margin feed and industrial businesses.
On a year-to-date basis higher industrial sales volumes as compared to
first half 2000 were primarily due to the additional sales provided by the
purchase of the remaining 50 percent interest in Albright & Wilson Company (A&W)
near the end of the first quarter last year. Second quarter industrial volumes
were up 6 percent from last year due to new customers. Higher industrial prices
on a year-over-year basis are also due to this acquisition as the Company now
sells an upgraded product that is higher-priced. Feed prices were stable during
the quarter and the first half of 2001. In the offshore markets, sales volumes
of DAP declined in China and India due to inventory carry-over and increased
internal production, while new capacity entered the market. Domestic fertilizer
sales volumes declined, affected by reduced North American phosphate consumption
which was down an estimated 6 percent in the fertilizer year just ended.
Domestic DAP prices firmed mainly due to production curtailments by various US
producers.
Sulphur prices declined in the second quarter as compared to the second
quarter last year and the trailing quarter. Ammonia costs declined compared to
the trailing quarter but were higher both on a quarter-over-quarter and
year-over-year basis. The higher cost of ammonia, a key DAP input, more than
offset the
13
14
reduction in sulphur costs. The poor DAP situation caused PCS to suspend
production of this solid phosphate fertilizer at White Springs early in the
first quarter of 2001. This resulted in fewer production tonnes over which to
allocate fixed costs, increasing per unit cost of sales.

Prices for nitrogen products were significantly higher than in the second
quarter and first half of 2000, although they decreased from the trailing
quarter. Gross margin benefited from more Trinidad production and
14
15
fewer purchased tonnes as the Company operated all four of its Trinidad plants
during the period; last year, two plants were shut down while a new gas contract
was negotiated.
Nitrogen prices averaged 16 percent higher than second-quarter 2000 and 36
percent higher on a year-to-date basis, but those prices have fallen as the year
has progressed. Record high natural gas prices at the start of 2001 resulted in
nitrogen production curtailments, a shortage psychology and record imports. As
gas prices fell and production came back, the combination of increased North
American production, higher imports and lower demand hit prices. As a result,
entering the second half of the year, prices are considerably lower than they
were at the beginning of the first half and lower than a year ago.
Overall, nitrogen sales volumes were down as compared to the same quarter
last year and first half 2000. Urea volumes decreased, primarily due to the
significant increase in import levels.
Non-fertilizer sales volumes increased from 47 percent of total sales
volumes in second quarter 2000 to 57 percent this quarter, while non-fertilizer
sales revenues increased from 45 percent to 53 percent over the same period. On
a year-over-year basis, non-fertilizer sales volumes increased from 46 percent
of total sales volumes to 54 percent and non-fertilizer revenues increased from
45 to 49 percent.
The average per-unit cost of natural gas decreased 23 percent from the
trailing quarter; however, it is 13 percent higher on a quarter-over-quarter
basis and 36 percent higher on a year-over-year basis. This is the principal
cause of the increase in the per-unit cost of sales compared to prior periods.

Selling and administrative expenses have decreased on a
quarter-over-quarter basis due to reduced amortization of deferred charges.
These expenses are flat on a year-over-year basis as lower second quarter 2001
costs were offset by higher costs in the first quarter of the year.
The decrease in Provincial Mining and Other Taxes on a year-over-year basis
was primarily due to reduced Saskatchewan-sourced sales and reduced gross margin
due to higher costs.
Interest expense increased in the second quarter of 2001 due to the
issuance of $600.0 million of 10-year 7.75% bonds under the Company's shelf
registration statement. Weighted average long-term debt outstanding in the
second quarter of 2001 was $666.0 million (2000 -- $444.0 million) with a
weighted average interest rate of 7.2 percent (2000 -- 6.8 percent). Weighted
average long-term debt outstanding for the first six months of 2001 was $542.6
million (2000 -- $444.2 million) with a weighted average interest rate of 7.2
percent (2000 -- 6.8 percent). The weighted average interest rate on short-term
debt outstanding in the second quarter of 2001 was 4.7 percent (2000 -- 6.6
percent) and for the first half of 2001 5.3 percent (2000 -- 6.4 percent).
The effective consolidated tax rate for the first half of 2001 was 36
percent (2000 -- 27 percent, exclusive of the gain on sale of Moab Salt Inc.,
for which there was no tax effect) of income before income taxes. The rate for
the second quarter is lower than this due to a cumulative adjustment made in the
second quarter to reduce the effective rate from 38 percent to 36 percent. This
adjustment was due to corporate restructuring in conjunction with the
refinancing of the Trinidad plant leases. The increase in the effective rate
over last year is primarily due to a reduction in additional tax deductions and
the geographic mix of earnings. The current/future tax split on a year-to-date
basis approximates 25 percent current and 75 percent future.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities $ 371.2 $(21.6) $ 404.3 $ (95.1)
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter
of 2001, as compared with second quarter 2000, was primarily due to the
reduction in natural gas prices, which caused repayment of certain of the
Company's natural gas counterparties margin accounts. This was also the case on
a year-to-date basis.
The increase in cash used in investing activities in both the second
quarter and year-to-date was primarily due to the buyout of the Trinidad plant
leases which resulted in additions to property, plant and equipment of
approximately $384.0 million.
To finance the buyout of the Trinidad leases and pay down short-term debt,
the Company issued $600.0 million of 7.75 percent ten year bonds in May 2001.
Replacing the off-balance sheet lease financing with balance sheet debt moves
the associated interest expense from cost of goods sold in nitrogen to corporate
interest expense. This represents a shift of approximately $24.0 to $30.0
million on an annual basis, depending on the floating rate of the operating
lease versus the fixed rate financing of the notes. Partially offsetting this
reduction in nitrogen cost of goods sold will be an increase in depreciation of
approximately $16.0 million per year. The Company paid dividends of $12.9
million in the second quarter of 2001 (2000 -- $12.8 million). On a year-to-date
basis the Company paid dividends of $25.9 million (2000 -- $26.1 million). In
2000, the Company was utilizing funds to repurchase shares under the share
repurchase program.
The Company has a syndicated credit facility which provides for unsecured
advances of up to $500.0 million (less the amount of commercial paper
outstanding), none of which was outstanding at June 30, 2001. In addition, the
Company has short-term lines of credit for up to $289.4 million in borrowing
(less letters of credit of $14.4 million), of which $45.0 million was
outstanding at June 30, 2001. The Company is authorized to borrow up to a
maximum of $500.0 million under the commercial paper program, of which $272.0
million was outstanding at June 30, 2001. The Company has fully utilized the
capacity available under its shelf registration statement.
The Company believes that internally generated cash flow, 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 2001.
PLANT CLOSURES
2000
On January 19, 2001, the Company suspended all DAP production at its White
Springs, Florida operations and on January 15, 2001 permanently closed its
Davenport, Iowa phosphate feed plant. The Company believes that it can sell the
Davenport property by year-end without incurring any significant environmental
or decommissioning costs. The Company expects that there will be no significant
decommissioning costs associated with the suspension of DAP production at White
Springs.
1999
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.
Demolition activity at Clinton is in process. The Company is attempting to
sell this property and therefore certain structures which add value to the site
will not be demolished at this time. Although the initial offer to
16
17
purchase the LaPlatte property has expired, the Company continues in its efforts
to sell this property. If a sale is completed, it is not expected that there
will be any significant further environmental or decommissioning activities
required relating to this site.
OUTLOOK
The outlook for the second half of the year is mixed. In potash, sales
should be steady as Brazil buys for its spring season and China continues to
import. Volumes lost year-to-date domestically are not expected to be recovered
in the second half, but offshore volumes could provide some catch-up.
In phosphate, the Company's ability to produce a variety of products to
sell to a diverse group of industries will continue to pay dividends. However,
recent restarts in North American DAP production will add to the pressure
already being felt due to the imbalance of supply and demand. To further
exacerbate the problem, India's new subsidy announcement has further
disadvantaged DAP imports so there is little hope for near-term improvement on
the demand side of the equation.
The collapse in nitrogen prices and a high level of inventories along with
the restart of some idled production and new South American capacity mean the
outlook for improvement appears to stretch beyond the second half of 2001.
However, nitrogen will continue to be influenced by natural gas prices which
have been very volatile this year and therefore difficult to predict.
In consideration of these conditions, the Company is less optimistic for
the second half of 2001 and now believes its 2001 earnings will be in the range
of $3.00 to $3.25 per share with third-quarter earnings of approximately $0.35
per share.

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,
17
18
2001 the Company's estimated derivative commodity instruments market risk
exposure was $26.3 million (2000 -- $27.6 million). Actual results may differ
from this estimate. Changes in the fair value of such derivative instruments,
with maturities in 2001 through 2006, 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.
