1.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain all adjustments necessary, in the opinion of management, to summarize fairly the financial position of Terra Industries Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries (“Terra”) and the results of Terra’s operations for the periods presented. Because of the seasonal nature of Terra’s operations and effects of weather-related conditions in several of its marketing areas, results of any interim reporting period should not be considered as indicative of results for a full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with Terra’s 2002 Annual Report to Stockholders. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ financial statements to conform with current year presentation.
